Chapter 163: Escape 3
Zhou Nan's spirit perked up, knowing that Zuo Xiaosi and the others had already arrived on the other side, and shot the remaining arrows out in one go, regardless of those cavalrymen, took off his short shirt, and ran quickly to the edge of the city wall, only to see that a rope had been pulled diagonally to the opposite bank.
The guards on the east side of the Qingliang Hall saw Zhou Nan rushing over from the palace at this time, and knew that this "thief" wanted to climb down the rope to the city, so they all rushed here, and even the cavalry army rushed over. Tossed all night, and in the end, he was run away under the nose of this gang of thieves, and he couldn't make a deal when the time came.
Zhou Nan stepped on the edge of the city wall, wrapped the rope with his short shirt, grabbed the short shirt with both hands, closed his eyes, and jumped down.
When the guards rushed over, they realized that the rope was not hanging down, but was pulling diagonally to the other side of the moat. And this "anti-thief" actually hung himself on a rope and quickly fell to the opposite bank! You must know that the eight-zhang high city wall, let alone falling, even if it can't slow down when it lands on the ground, it will also fall to death on the spot.
It was too late to draw the arrow and shoot it, and the palace guards stared blankly at the figure that was rushing down, and they opened their mouths and froze in place, at a loss.
"Get out of the way!" With a shout, a cavalryman of the City Patrol Division rushed over on his horse, and with a stroke of a long knife in his hand, he cut the rope tied to the brick stack. The rope was unfettered, and the bullet went away.
On the other side of the moat was a small raft parked on the bank, and there were several people standing on the bank, and when they saw that the rope was broken, they immediately screamed.
"Da Lang!"
"Be careful, big village master!"
"Zhou Yingying!"
Zhou Nan, who had already slid half of the rope, suddenly felt the clothes in his hands loosen, and his body sank, and he fell down. At this time, Zhou Nan, who was in mid-air, heard everyone's exclamations, and his heart was cold, and he said in his heart: It's over! As he fell rapidly, he tried to turn his head towards Gao Yuan, wanting to look at his companions who had been with him for a year, but he noticed a flash of water in front of him, and it turned out that he had just swung above the river.
didn't have time to be happy, Zhou Nan was about to put on a standard posture to enter the water, but he felt a huge pain in his back, and with a "poof", his whole body was already falling into the river with his back.
"Damn! Give you back an arrow! Gao Yuanjian saw Zhou Nan fall into the water, raised his hand and shot an arrow, shooting at the cavalry who had cut the rope with a knife just now. The cavalryman was still riding proudly on horseback and standing on the edge of the city wall, watching the scene of his sword falling and throwing the thief into the water cleanly. Suddenly, seeing a little cold light on the other side, before he had time to dodge, the arrow had been shot in the face, and with a painful "ah" sound, he fell from the horse, struggled and fell to the bottom of the city wall, and then there was a muffled sound of heavy objects falling on the ground outside the city wall.
Zuo Xiaosi, Gao Shouxiao and others also raised their bows to shoot arrows at the people on the side of the city wall, which frightened the guards and the men and horses of the city patrol division to retreat again and again, and they no longer dared to stand in front.
Gao Shouzhong saw Zhou Nan fall into the water, and he had already jumped into the water and went into the water to search for Zhou Nan. When Zhou Nan fell into the water, he was only shocked by the water and fainted, and now he has also floated out of the water, Gao Shouzhong carried Zhou Nan to the shore, Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Nan down, at this time the sky was already bright, several people surrounded Zhou Nan, except for the arrow wound on his arm, there was no obstacle anywhere else, and several people knew that this was a high place falling into the water that shook the internal organs, and they did not dare to move.
It took a long time for Zhou Nan to come to his senses, Zhou Nan looked at the people around him, and only felt that his back was like being hit by a boulder, and the pain was incomparable, and he couldn't breathe hard. also knew that he was fine, so he smiled reluctantly and said, "Let's go, it's troublesome for the officers and soldiers to chase them out." ”
Gao Yuan and the others also knew that the officers and soldiers would definitely chase them out, now seeing that Zhou Nan could speak, Gao Shouzhong came over to help Zhou Nan, Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao led the way in the front, Gao Yuan walked at the end, let Zhou Nan, the princess and a few others walk in the middle, and the group went west along the path.
Yu Liyan wanted to go over to see Zhou Nan, but Zhou Nan was now naked, revealing the strong and well-proportioned muscles on his body, Yu Liyan just glanced at it, and when he saw the red on Zhou Nan's back, Yu Liyan was too ashamed to look at it anymore. Just now, her eyes widened, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to scream, watching Zhou Nan slip down with just a short shirt on the rope, this person is really bold. But before he could see how he landed, he watched the rope be cut and Zhou Nan fell from mid-air.
At that moment, her heart was about to jump out, and she felt the urge to rush over and catch him. Although she knew that she wouldn't have the strength to catch him even if she ran over, she was willing to be hurt even if he fell and was injured.
Watching him fall into the water, she clenched her hands into fists and clenched them tightly in front of her chest, nervous and afraid to breathe. With so many people around him, she was embarrassed to step forward, but she really liked the arrow shot by the hunter with the surname Gao.
Now that he is fine, she feels much more relieved. The silver bottle walked silently beside her, and only after a while did he say, "Princess, what ...... Dalang, he's going to be fine, right? ”
Yu Liyan shook her head, she would rather hide in a restaurant than plan for her future, not because she didn't have scheming, but because she had experienced so much and was too lazy to calculate. It's just that Zhou Nan, the hunter he met a year ago, if he said that he had a plan to save her this time, then what could she say about the time she met a tiger in the mountains a year ago? Besides, how could he know his secrets? Yu Liyan couldn't help but look at a jade bracelet on his wrist, the jade bracelet emitted a soft halo under the reflection of the rising sun, diluting the entity of the jade bracelet, and the jade bracelet itself seemed to be wrapped in this halo.
Yu Liyan shook his head again, everything tonight, there was a little mistake, Zhou Nan and his partners were dead or alive. Especially Zhou Nan stood on the towering city wall, without fear of jumping, and the rope was cut immediately, and no one would put himself in such a dangerous situation.
Since he can't stay in Yanjing City anymore, let's go back, since he sacrificed his life to save himself like this, he should live well.
"Hurry up, when the officers and soldiers come after us on horseback, we won't be able to escape." After walking for a while, Zhou Nan felt much better now, and said to Zuo Xiaosi, who was leading the way in front: "Take the mountain road, go to the mountain first." ”
Zuo Xiaosi looked ahead, stopped and said to Zhou Nan: "Da Lang, go west from here, go straight for twenty miles, and you will enter the mountain." ”
Zhou Nan nodded and entered the mountain, it was not easy for the officers and soldiers to hunt down these hunters who had grown up in the mountains since childhood. Turning his head to look at Yu Liyan and Yinping, after all, the two of them were girls in the boudoir, and they had only walked a few miles from outside the city wall, so they couldn't walk with their knees on their knees.
