In fact, before Bai Qing and Xi Xingwen left, the two of them had already discussed that tonight would definitely be a sleepless night.

Although most of the thieves have been driven out of the city gates, it is unknown how many thieves will be lurking in the city.

Originally, the battle at the city gate was just a contest between officers and soldiers and thieves, but once these thieves caused damage in the city, it might interfere with the normal life of the people in the city.

Groups of thieves are not terrible, and it is a big deal to kill them all, but once they cause a riot among the people, it is a very tricky thing.

Because of this, Bai Qing and Xi Xingwen also attached great importance to the vigilance in the city tonight.

However, the navy of Hangzhou Town is just a box army, although compared to the box army in ordinary places, the scale is much larger, after all, Hangzhou is an important place in the south of the Yangtze River anyway, but the number is only seven or eight thousand people, most of them have been sent to guard the four city gates, so the vigilance force in the city is suddenly a little stretched.

But then again, in such a large city, trying to prevent a few saboteurs is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is not so simple.

Therefore, when the first flash of fire appeared, Bai Qing, who had not rested in the study, looked at the sky in the distance that was red by the firelight, even if he had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help frowning.

At this time, there was a commotion in many places in the city of Hangzhou, and with the continuous raging fire, those whose homes were inexplicably lit on fire. Howling rushed out of the room, and the women and children collapsed to the ground. Helplessly gazing at the flames that flickered up, like the sharp fangs of a demon. Constantly devouring their home, the feeling of being in despair, made them feel as if the whole sky was about to fall.

The men, on the other hand, kept using everything they could to catch the water, hurriedly holding the water, and constantly pouring it on the flame, but that little bit of water was so weak in front of the flame. There was no way to stop it, and the surrounding neighbors also hurriedly took all kinds of tools, and anxiously put out the fire with the men, on the one hand, out of the affection of looking down and not looking up, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the fire would not be controlled, and their own homes would also suffer.

It didn't take much effort, and the soldiers who rushed to hear the news also participated in the firefighting work. In short, there were cries, scolding, shouting, and messy footsteps, and this chaotic and noisy scene seemed to alarm the nearby dogs, who also barked a little uneasily. It added a little uneasiness to the night.

Those lurking cultists were almost doomed to their exposure as soon as they made a move. Some of them had just gone out when they were spotted and caught by the patrolling soldiers. Some of them had just finished what they were doing, and they were also caught by the soldiers who heard the news. Although they desperately tried to escape, they were caught up by those soldiers, and then they fell to the ground, and those soldiers also hated these thieves who had just attacked the people.

Of course, it is not without Manichaean cultists who escaped from the soldiers, after all, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the number of officers and soldiers is indeed a little insufficient, so there are a few lucky ones who escaped from the pursuit of the soldiers.

For a time, the city was full of firefighting sounds and commotions, and almost the entire people in the city were alarmed.

Originally, there were different opinions about tonight's events, but now this kind of thing has happened, which has deepened the panic of the people, and many people can't help but light up the oil lamps at home one after another, for fear of breaking into some thieves again, and some of the timid are hiding at home and trembling.

Fortunately, Bai Qing and Xi Xingwen had already foreseen these things, so after the initial panic, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and those people saw that with the help of the soldiers in the city, the fire was quickly extinguished, and the commotion just now gradually calmed down.

In the second half of the night, the hustle and bustle of the city had largely disappeared, and the calm gradually returned.

"Whew~Whew~"

"Alright, don't run, take a break!"

In the dark alley, four figures ran forward quickly, but from the messy footsteps and the way they looked back while running, the movements were really a bit wolf-like, as if they were running for their lives.

After running like this for a long time, the originally fast pace finally became slow, and then involuntarily stopped, and several people held on to the wall next to them and gasped for breath, looking greedy, as if they wanted to suck all the oxygen into their bodies.

After a while, their originally pale faces gradually recovered, but their breathing was rapid, and their chests were constantly rising and falling with their breathing, and they could almost hear a sound like a bellows.

"It was really dangerous just now, and I almost couldn't escape!"

One of the figures, after confirming that no one was following behind them, was a little paralyzed leaning against the wall, and his head was also a little weak, but thinking about the thrilling scene of being chased by a bunch of people just now, they still had some heart palpitations, if it weren't for a few of them running desperately, it would be impossible to escape from the hands of those officers and soldiers.

These people were the Manichaean cultists who had infiltrated the city, but they were relatively lucky, and after the fire, they actually escaped from the round-up of those officers and soldiers.

At this time, because it was already the second half of the night, and the commotion caused by them had also subsided, there was a look of silence all around.

It was very dark, and I could barely see some vision only with the help of the faint light of the moon in the sky.

The four of them didn't have the strength to speak anymore at this time, but they just hurried up to recover their bodies, because they didn't know when they would encounter the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and today they also saw very clearly that the entire Hangzhou City seemed to have been under martial law, and it was not a good strategy to stay here for a long time, so they had to do their best to restore their bodies, and then return to the place where they were hiding.

"Click~click~"

Just when the four of them were silent and desperately resting, a sound of footsteps suddenly reached their ears.

It was like a thunderbolt from the sky, they subconsciously struck a spirit, glanced at each other, and saw a bit of vigilance and horror in each other's eyes.

He quickly got up from the ground, pulled out the dagger from his waist with his backhand, and then looked into the distance with a wary expression.

But the sound of footsteps just now seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and for a few moments they did not hear the slightest sound, except for their rapid breathing, and there was a dead silence around them.

For a moment, their minds couldn't help but have some doubts, and they even wondered if they had just had auditory hallucinations.

But they still didn't dare to be careless, and still stood there, listening carefully, until after a while, there was still no gain, and they relaxed a little strangely.

"Click~click~"

It's just that just when they were about to sit down again, the lack of footsteps just now came into their ears again, and it was even more obvious than just now!

The four figures were suddenly startled in their hearts, and a little frightened look subconsciously appeared on their faces, their eyes widened, and they looked desperately in the direction where the voice came from.

But apart from the darkness, there was nothing to be gained in their field of vision.

But unlike the last time, this time the footsteps never stopped, and became more and more clear, as if they were getting closer and deeper.

Originally, the first thought that appeared in the hearts of the four people was to turn around and run away, but soon, they heard that the footsteps in front of them were very neat, and there should be only one person, after noticing this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw a bit of ruthlessness in each other's eyes, and then they stood in place, waiting for the appearance of the owner of the footsteps.

The voices grew clearer and clearer, and after about a stick of incense, a figure appeared in front of them.

Although it was very dark, they could still tell from the figure that it was actually a woman who appeared not far in front of them.

The dark night, the dead alley, the woman who appeared inexplicably......

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.

However, all of this qiē had nothing to do with the woman, she was still walking slowly forward, as if she hadn't noticed the four people at all.

Just as the four people were about to escape, the woman had already come to a place very close to them, and one of them, inadvertently saw the woman's face, and was stunned for a moment.

Although the light was very bad, but vaguely, he could still see that the woman actually had a pretty face that captivated the country and the city, and almost just a glance made his eyes unable to move a bit.

The other three people were wondering about his appearance, and then they also saw the woman's face, and they all looked at the woman in surprise as if they had been evil.

For the four people who appeared in the alley in the middle of the night, the woman didn't react at all, she didn't seem to think that there were a lot of irregularities in it, just walked with the four people head-on.

By the time the four of them reacted, the woman had already passed them by, heading straight in the direction they had come from, and the sound of her footsteps was still unhurried and slow, as if she was strolling leisurely.

Looking at the incomparably graceful back, the four people suddenly couldn't help but recall the incomparably amazing glance just now in their minds over and over again, thinking of this, they subconsciously glanced at each other, and they all saw a bit of lustful light in each other's eyes......
