Chapter 64: The Pursuit
The twilight was getting thicker, the setting sun was already hanging on the edge of the western city outline, the air was getting cold, and the pedestrians in the streets disappeared like frightened gophers in an instant to the sound of drums.
The two of them hurried all the way, and soon arrived at the crossroads between Lanlingfang and Jing'anfang, and there was only one square away from Yongle Fang, and they would definitely be able to reach Zuoxiangfu before the last drum sound.
Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, not that he was afraid that he would not be able to enter Yongle Fang, Li Shizhi's mansion door was open to the outside of the fang, and he didn't need to go through the gate to enter the Zuo Xiang's mansion, what he had to worry about was the trouble of being interrogated by the Jinwuwei Marquis after the night curfew. If Wang Yuan himself is caught, it will be nothing, it will be a big deal to be spanked, but now that he is followed by Li Xin'er, there must be no mistakes.
"Let's go, it's almost there." After turning the street, Wang Yuan suddenly found that Li Xin'er had slowed down, was looking around nervously, and couldn't help urging.
"Shh Li Xin'er suddenly ducked behind a bluestone on the side of the road and beckoned to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan frowned and walked back, and Li Xin'er pulled him behind the bluestone.
"What's wrong? There can be no delay. Wang Yuan complained.
"Silence, it's not right." Li Xin'er said in a low voice.
Wang Yuan was startled and was about to ask, but heard Li Xin'er whisper in his ear: "Follow me." β
After saying that, Li Xin'er walked back shortly, and Wang Yuan was stunned: "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? Won't we be able to go back in time if you do this? β
Li Xin'er said anxiously: "I can't tell you clearly now, we can't go from that side, there is danger over there." Do you see the movement of the martial artists in the cross street over there? They don't look right. β
"What's wrong? Don't be suspicious, okay? Wang Yuan frowned.
"Erlang, believe me once, and I'll explain to you when I get back. Oh no, someone is coming from behind, Erlang will come with me quickly. Li Xin'er said in a hurried voice.
Wang Yuan looked back at the street between Lanling Fang and Jingshan Fang when he came, and saw that more than a dozen figures were rushing towards this side in the afterglow of the gradually disappearing sunset, and at the same time he heard more than a dozen people rushing out of the Wuhou shop on the cross street in front of him, rushing from the front.
Wang Yuan was stunned and said: "The drums have not stopped, what are the martial marquis doing?" Is it here to get you? Twelve mothers. β
Li Xin'er sneered: "I'm afraid it's not looking for me this time, but looking for you, don't ask, don't leave quickly." β
Li Xin'er grabbed Wang Yuan's hand and dragged him along the wall, and at the same time, the scolding of dozens of people on both sides of the front and back also came: "Stop, don't run again, otherwise you will be killed." β
Wang Yuan's heart was full of fog, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem, obviously the two groups of people before and after had a clear purpose, just to catch the two of them, whether it was for Twelve Niang or Twelve Niang said for themselves, this is a big trouble.
"This way." Li Xin'er shouted.
Wang Yuan gasped and followed Li Xin'er's footsteps, and saw the north gate of Lanling Fang in front of him, and the two fangmen in front of the door were probing their brains here.
The two of them rushed over, and the two shopkeepers were confused and saw the two of them rushing over and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" What the hell. β
"Hey, you can't go in, look at your face, you're not from this workshop, do you have relatives and friends here? Name ......"
Li Xin'er raised her hand and struck the two of them on the necks with two palms, and the two fangding fell to the ground silently. Wang Yuan was shocked and said, "You killed them? β
Li Xin'er said: "Just knocked them out." Let's go, what are you waiting for? β
Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know each other, he had also been a fangding, and he knew that the fangding were actually ordinary people, if they were injured, it would be too innocent.
"Stop, the people in Lanling Fang are listening, and immediately arrest the two intruders and close the door of the Sifang Fang." Wu Hou, who was chasing on both sides, saw the two of them break into the Lanling Fang, and immediately began to shout loudly, and several horsemen rushed to the Fang in an instant, shouting loudly along the cross street. The rest of the dozens of martial marquis and a few ordinary clothes and swords also rushed into the workshop.
There was a sudden chaos in the Lanling Fang, and the Fangzheng Fangmen quickly got the news and passed the news around, and after a while, all the doors of the Fangfang were closed on all sides, and a search began in the Fang.
Li Xin'er and Wang Yuan rushed into the workshop and quickly went into a small alley, turned into a dilapidated house, hid behind a low wall, and listened to the noise of people everywhere.
"What should I do?" Wang Yuan asked with foaming at the mouth.
Li Xin'er said in a low voice: "Wait a while, let me think about it, it will be dark soon, and after it gets dark, we will go out, maybe there is a better chance to escape." β
Wang Yuan asked again: "What's going on?" β
Li Xin'er replied: "You hide here, I'll go out and lure them away, maybe you have a chance to escape." If you can't escape, find a place to hide, and don't show your head. β
Li Xin'er got up to leave, but Wang Yuan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "No, wouldn't you kill yourself when you go out, let's die and die together, I don't want you to lose your life for me." β
Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan in a daze and said, "I'm glad that you can say that, but we are surrounded now, if I don't go out to lure them away, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." β
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, let's think of a way." β
Li Xin'er said: "I can't think about it, I can go over the wall, but how can I leave you alone, I can't get you on the wall." β
Wang Yuan's mind turned sharply, and he heard the noisy voices and lights getting closer, and suddenly stood up and looked around, Li Xin'er shouted in a low voice: "Are you looking for death?" β
Wang Yuan patted his head and said, "Yes, come with me." β
Li Xin'er was stunned and said, "What? β
Wang Yuan ran over the low wall and along the alley, Li Xin'er had no choice but to follow closely, Wang Yuan said: "I have been a fangding, if the management of all the private squares is similar, there will be ropes hanging in the corners of each fang wall to facilitate the repair of the fang wall." It was convenient for craftsmen to pull earth, stone and wood to the wall when repairing the wall. β
Li Xin'er said: "But how do you know that there will be something here?" β
Wang Yuan gasped and said, "Then it depends on whether God can help or not." β
The two of them shuttled left and right in the dark alley, and finally arrived at the southeast corner of the square out of breath, in the dim skylight, Wang Yuan walked along the corner of the square wall dozens of steps, shouting: "Comeon! ComeonοΌ β
Finally, Wang Yuan saw the rope hanging on the wall, the same as that of Yong'an Fang, for the convenience of repairing the wall of the workshop, there is usually a rope hanging on the wall, and the craftsmen in charge of repairing rarely take off this rope.
After having a rope, everything is much simpler, Li Xin'er used the rope to go to the wall without much effort, and then Li Xin'er pulled Wang Yuan up the wall like a bundle of firewood, and put the rope on the outside wall, and the two concocted the wall in the same way, and finally came to the crossroads southwest of Lanlingfang.
The two of them cautiously sneaked along the shadows of the trees of the Fangqiang River, but they were soon disappointed, and the road leading north to the Zuo Xiangfu was all shadowed by the shadowy Jinwu Wei Wuhou, and they could not return to the Zuo Xiangfu at all. In desperation, Li Xin'er caught a glimpse of the tall Big Wild Goose Pagoda standing in the distance in the night sky, and said in a low voice: "It seems that we can only go to the master and beg her to take us in for one night, maybe we can escape the search." β
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Maybe it's just that." β
The two no longer hesitated, and turned to the southeast direction of Jinchangfang, just slipped past the crossroads, there was a commotion behind, more than a dozen torches rushed from the direction of Lanlingfang, obviously found that the two had escaped from Lanlingfang, and were rushing over to chase here.
The two of them didn't care about exposing their bodies, they ran wildly on the street, and arrived at the Xifang Gate of Jinchangfang after a while, between which Li Xin'er took Wang Yuan to a square wall, but saw a big tree standing more than two meters away from the square wall. Li Xin'er said: "Climb the tree, jump to the wall, I'll wait for you inside." β
Wang Yuan was about to say that he was afraid that he would not be able to climb the tree, Li Xin'er had already climbed the tree with his hands and feet, and the black shadow flashed overhead, Li Xin'er had already jumped on the wall, and then listened to the sound of landing, obviously falling into the wall.
Wang Yuan wanted to cry without tears, so he had to grit his teeth and climb the tree, although he also likes to exercise and play Tai Chi or something, but after coming here, he rarely exercises, and this skin is not a powerful body. But now at the moment of life and death, no one can help him, so he can only grit his teeth and climb up the tree with the strength of milk.
The chasing soldiers were approaching, Wang Yuan's hands and feet gradually felt sore, and when he finally touched the horizontal branches from the smooth trunk, and then the strength of the branches was finally a few feet up, seeing that the wall was at his feet, Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and jumped hard, thinking that he would step on the top of the wall several feet wide, but he found that he used too much force, and he crossed the wall and fell straight into the darkness inside the wall.
Wang Yuan was shocked, and when he secretly screamed badly, he suddenly felt that his body had hit a soft body, and under the huge impact, the two rolled on the ground several times, and Wang Yuan's mouth arched into two soft and fragrant valleys, buried in them, and breathless.
At the same time, Li Xin'er's coquettish wheezing voice came from her ears: "Have you taken advantage of it enough?" Don't let me get up yet. β
