"In short, it's definitely unrealistic to wait for that guy to be alone, so we have to find a way to ......do it."

Zheng Jiuye simply sat on the tree, holding his chin with one hand and gently tapping his cheek.

Unlike the ancient Chinese Assassins, Zheng Jiuye didn't want to die. Although Yan Jin said that he would help Zheng Jiuye when he was dying, Zheng Jiuye definitely didn't want such a thing as "having to rely on the help of the other party to survive......

"I remember that the reason why only wanted warrants were issued was because people on the Empire side were not able to do it for some reason...... In other words, it was the people on the imperial side who found out the location of this guy, and then issued a wanted warrant? ”

Zheng Jiuye turned his head to look at Yan Jin, who was squatting next to him, and asked in a low voice.

"That's what it is. What, you came up with a good idea? ”

"Hmm...... There is a way, but you still need to prepare," Zheng Jiuye replied, "Anyway, I will probably need a few hours, can I trouble Mr. Yanjin to brush your face during this time?" ”

“…… Brush your face? ”

Yan Jin looked puzzled.

"Hmm...... After all, only Teacher Yan Jin has this kind of running speed, so this plan still has to rely on the teacher to start," Zheng Jiuye said as he took out the reward order and began to modify it with a pen, "Originally, I had the money to complete this plan, but Teacher Yan Jin, you used all the money to buy wine...... So, Mr. Yanjin, if you don't make a move, forget it, do me a little favor, no, mind, care, right? ”

"Well, don't mind ......"

"That's good...... In this case, the two of us, the teacher, will act separately; I'll leave it to you over there, the preparation here is not too troublesome, I'll do it. ”

Zheng Jiuye handed the revised bounty order in his hand to Yan Jin, and then directly hooked his feet, and the whole person fell from the tree and stood on the grass.

"That's what you mean by brushing your face......" Yan Jin took the bounty order and looked at it, "If it's done here, you've thought about the rest of the things?" ”

"Hmm...... It's almost fine, but please don't be too fast, Mr. Yan Jin," Zheng Jiuye thought that Yan Jin couldn't see his strength at all when he ran with the horse, and said again, "It's good to arrive in four or five hours." ”

Who knows if this guy would have rushed into town in a few minutes or less if he had run with all his might......

"No problem...... Then I'm off. ”

Next Second...... No, it should be said that in the next frame of time that the human eye can see, Yan Jin, who was still sitting leisurely on the tree and receiving the wanted warrant, disappeared directly in front of Zheng Jiuye's eyes.

“……”

Although he said that he had seen it before, Zheng Jiuye didn't see it directly with his eyes before, but blocked it with his breath...... After I really saw it this time, I had to sigh at the strength of this guy.

"Anyway, that guy is so presumptuous, and he dares to give a speech outside...... If Teacher Yan Jin came to do the task, this guy would have been finished. ”

Because most of the people in the entire village were concentrated in the square at this time, Zheng Jiuye had the opportunity to surround himself from outside the village to the place he planned to go.

When will this guy be left alone? The answer is simple...... That's when this guy needs to escape. Either way, he couldn't have escaped with the whole village - in that case, even if this guy wasn't alone, it wouldn't be too much worse.

Speaking of which, I also want to thank the Empire for not going to do anything to this guy...... Although it is nothing more than boring reasons such as the face of the nobles, this situation gives Zheng Jiuye a lot of room to operate.

In this case, the elf named Adrian must also know that the Empire will not make a move, which is why he is so presumptuous - but what if a new wanted notice is printed in the town and clearly indicates Adrian's location?

Zheng Jiuye's purpose in asking Yan Jin to brush his face was to get the local nobles to update the wanted warrant and force him to leave here in a short time. Of course, this is not the best way - this guy will be very alert when he leaves, but Zheng Jiuye's time is quite limited, so he has to do this.

After all, if he couldn't complete the task within five days, Zheng Jiuye wouldn't be able to rush back to register for the exam of the Imperial Capital Noble Academy......

Well, it's just to halve the amount of training.

Then, the next thing to do is to find a way to track Adrian's escape route.

This process can be roughly divided into the process of arriving at the power - printing the wanted notice - being discovered by Adrian's eyeliner - notifying Adrian.

Considering the existence of the mage profession, it should be possible to make quick notifications similar to phone calls, so Zheng Jiuye deliberately asked Yan Jin to arrive later - so the end of this process should be four or five hours later.

Then, in order to avoid the large number of mercenaries who wanted the bounty in his pursuit, Adrian would inevitably flee the place quickly.

"It seems that Mr. Yanjin has completed his work...... Finally let this guy get the message. ”

Zheng Jiuye squatted on the top branch of a tree far away from the village, holding a telescope to blow the wind for a long time, and finally saw Adrian with a panicked expression and led a horse out, ready to leave.

It is normal to lead a horse out, but if you want to escape quickly, you must ride a horse...... Well, words don't count; There are only two ways to leave the village, and one of them is to the town, and there is no fork in the road, which has been confirmed on the way here.

Adrian could not have chosen to run towards the town and approach the mercenaries who were about to arrive; Therefore, the chosen route must be the one to the back, so that the path is fixed.

"Hmm...... Sure enough, so far, everything is within the scope of the plan. ”

Zheng Jiuye could already see that the direction Adrian was leading the horse and preparing to come was his side.

Then it's a volley that doesn't go too far back. Because although Adrian already knew that he was discovered, in the case of unequal information, Adrian's judgment should be that "the Imperial subordinates who can't attack him" discovered him; So in order to prevent the location from being exposed, Adrian should do a counter-tracking halfway through. Regardless of whether he drilled into the woods or some other method, Zheng Jiuye, such an experienced wanted criminal, was 100% unconfident that he could be caught; So......

"So I gave you four or five hours, and you just dug a hole in the end......? But this trap is quite perfect, and basically it can't be seen as a trap. ”

Yan Jin didn't know when he suddenly appeared behind Zheng Jiuye, and looked down at Zheng Jiuye's disguised pit on the ground.

"I was going to prepare more things, but I overestimated my physical strength...... If they hadn't taken advantage of the speech and slipped a shovel in the barn, it is estimated that they would not have been able to dig out of the pit. ”

Zheng Jiuye looked helpless - if I had known, I would have talked to Teacher Yanjin for a few more hours...... This will also be a little more prepared.

"However, if you prepare a trap, it is easy to have an accident, right?"

"One should be fine, this guy shouldn't be able to think of it," Zheng Jiuye pointed to Adrian, who was approaching here on horseback, and said, "Although the preparation is indeed not perfect, but using my brain is still my specialty......"

Before Zheng Jiuye could finish speaking, one of the front feet of Adrian's horse stepped into the pit; But what Zheng Jiuye didn't expect was that Adrian actually jumped up with a saddle in both hands at that moment and jumped up the moment before the horse fell into the pit!

"Damn, you really surprised me...... But that's okay, there's a final insurance! ”

Zheng Jiuye kicked his legs, folded his hands, and jumped directly from the tree.

It's certainly not some kind of power like the Divine Palm. The breath block would be greatly weakened under the condition of movement - but now Zheng Jiuye did not make any movement, but approached Adrian from above through free fall, who had just landed and had not even stood firm!
