Chapter XXXIII
There was no longer Chester walking back slowly, the other side.
"You...... Who the hell are you? In the gray alley, a man covered in blood sat on the ground, his face full of fear, and he kept crawling backwards, and in front of him stood a man covered by a black cloak, with a dagger of Cheng Liang in his hand, and drops of bright red blood fell from the tip of the knife.
The man didn't say anything, and there was a noise in the distance, and the bloodied man's face showed a hint of joy, but immediately, he couldn't laugh at all.
"What... What the? I felt my neck itching, and when I reached out and touched it, a touch of scarlet stained my fingers, and a tearing pain hit me, and I was confined all over my body, and I could only barely make a whining sound in my throat......
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon." His shoulders were pushed, his face fell straight down, and his head collided with the ground with a thumping sound, which became the last echo of life.
"The first." Short and chilling, the voice is full of an emotion of joy that is extremely restrained.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Bai Ye had no intention of running away, or rather, he didn't want to leave.
An illusory halo emanated from Bai Ye's body, and then, his body was like smoke, as if it didn't really exist, and gradually lost its shape, and it really disappeared, turning into a cloud of mist floating in the air.
"Strange, how can there be fog here?" A soldier who rushed to the scene whispered that as soon as he entered the street, he found a thick fog, which had affected his vision to a certain extent, making him feel a little wrong, and he couldn't help but raise his vigilance.
I also felt the faint sound of breathing, as if someone was beside him, a cool breeze blew, he shivered all over, as if something had just happened, soft, almost caused him to fall, he was very scared, but he still squatted down to check what it was, touched a warm liquid randomly, moved his hand to the side of his nose, only smelled a strong bloody breath, the soldier's face changed greatly, something must happen here.
Dead! As soon as he thought of this, fear instantly came to his heart, and he stood up desperately and ran back and forth, "Someone, something happened!" It felt like he was about to run out, but it seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and oh no, the soldier thought to himself, and he immediately pulled out the sword he was carrying behind his back and slashed at the invisible wall.
Unexpectedly smooth, just when he was relieved, he suddenly felt a heavy blow on the right side of his neck, and suddenly felt dizzy and fainted to the ground.
Then, there seemed to be a sigh in the fog, and the thick fog quickly dispersed, but Bai Ye did not appear.
Immediately arrived at Bai Ye's house, he didn't suddenly feel very uncomfortable, as if someone was staring at him, he raised his right hand and made a gesture that wanted to play with his hair, but a piece of ice was quietly condensed in his hand, and in that moment, he found through the reflection that several people were staring at him and Chester.
"Chester, follow me first." There was no longer a voice that only the two of them could hear, "We're being targeted." With that, he changed his direction and walked towards another place.
Chester didn't say anything, and followed in the same direction.
"Could it be the same gangsters we taught us last time?"
He didn't say anything, as if he was very attentive, "It doesn't seem to be." After a moment, he said, clearly sensing the group's attention diverted from him and Chester, clearly not for them.
"And who would it be?" Chester racked his brains and couldn't think of anyone who would send someone to spy on them. "Could it be someone from the imperial capital?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't think so." This group of people gave the feeling that they were completing their mission, and they didn't take this matter to heart at all, it shouldn't be owned by an emperor, at least, there would be no such people under Estes.
"Let's go around a little, I remember Bai Ye said that there is a secret door to enter his house." It's not acting like it's natural, not at all like a person being watched.
"Kuku" had not removed the box blocking the passage, and secretly entered the house with Chester.
"Brother...... Brother, is that you? Angel's anxious voice rang out, and she struggled to sit and lie on the bed, sweating all over her body, and her face was paler than ever.
"It's me, Angel. Lie down, it's not good for you. I didn't see Anqi's face was not good, so I hurriedly came over and pressed her down on the bed again, and covered the quilt for her, but Anqi kept struggling, holding Ji Wei's hand tightly, "Brother Jiwei, hurry up and save my brother, he must go to find Merris!" ”
"Okay, you calm down first," he said unappeased, "who is Merris?" Why is your brother looking for him? ”
He ...... He is... He's a very bad, very bad big villain, how can my brother go to him alone......" As she spoke, Angel's tears flowed, and the round golden beans bubbled out desperately, she choked up, and couldn't say any more.
Although he didn't get any news, he learned from An Qi that Bai Ye and Merris seemed to have some entanglement, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, you take today's medicine first." He didn't take out a white pill from a small gourd in his arms, poured a glass of water and dissolved the pill in the water, "Remember to take medicine, Chester, take good care of her yourself, I'll go find Bai Ye." ”
Before he came out of the secret passage again, he wanted to ask others about Merris, but he saw a group of soldiers hurrying over with buckets of water, as if something big had happened. I didn't look at the sky, as if I had found something. He changed direction and walked towards the city gate, bypassing the defenders, and quickly ran to the city wall, looking into the distance as if there was an army stationed outside, yes, it was the army of the Empire.
"Hey, who are you? No entry is allowed here, come and find a suspicious person. A patrolling soldier spotted him, picked up the gun in his hand and pointed it at Zawei, "Raise your hands and turn it slowly!" ”
When a large group of soldiers heard the news, they surrounded him, about five or six guns pointed at him, and each of them had their fingers firmly gripping the trigger, as if he would be killed at the slightest suspicious move.
Without saying anything, he raised his hands and turned around, but his face was covered by a crystal mask.
"Who the hell are you? Why bring a mask? Take the mask off. The soldier who had found it was no longer shouted, and before he could slowly lower his right hand to take off his mask, he suddenly jumped backwards, crossed the wall, and fell backwards.
"Fire!" Clusters of bullets passed by, some broke their clothes, and some looked like they were about to die, but they made a clanging sound, and all the bullets were bounced off?!
The group of soldiers immediately chased to the side of the city wall, looked down at the white expanse, found nothing, and found that the soldier who found him punched the city wall in annoyance, and the others hurriedly stopped him, "The city wall is so high, he must not have survived if he falls." ”
Just as the group of soldiers was about to return to their posts, a shrill voice rang out, "Oh no! It's a fire in the house! Not far away, a burst of black smoke rose, immediately obscuring half of the sky.
"Hurry up, you guys go put out the fire!" A man dressed as a butler shouted at the people on the city wall, and several soldiers on the city wall hesitated, "No, we can't leave our posts without permission!" A soldier shouted.
"What post do you stick to? If it weren't for the Taishou who looked up to you and let you watch the gate on this city wall, you would have died of poverty and starvation, you are just a few watchdogs raised by the Taishou, and you dare not obey the orders of the Taishou, go quickly! The shrill voice shouted unrelentingly, full of disdain and contempt, "The other soldiers have gone, and you are special?" Forget it, I won't miss you dogs, and when the fire is extinguished, I will sue you in front of the Taishou. With that, he hurried back.
Several soldiers on the city wall did not know what to do, neither advancing nor retreating, which was very embarrassing.
It was getting dark, and the fire in the Taishou Mansion was finally extinguished, and the original magnificent Taishou Mansion was only left with broken walls, and many buildings were destroyed by the fire, but it did not affect the people nearby, which had many credits to the soldiers stationed in the city, because of their participation, the fire was immediately controlled, but there was still some distance from being completely extinguished.
Looking at the billowing smoke, watching countless soldiers rushing towards the city, I really have to thank this person who set the fire in my heart, if it weren't for his play, which attracted most of the soldiers defending the city, I am afraid that it will take a while to capture this city.
The remaining guards on the walls had all been assassinated, and they had taken control of the gates, and it was only a matter of time before they took the city.
"My lord, it's all settled." Chester stood behind him, his right hand crossed over his chest, and said as if in prayer.
has not nodded, then there is no worries, all that remains is to wait for Bai Ye. He broke away from the army and entered the city alone, which was already in chaos, full of death, destruction, and plunder, and the imperial soldiers unscrupulously explained what war was, what it meant to honor the strong, and what it meant to eat the weak.
Without their own guidance, would this group of people be able to live a few more days? He laughed at himself in his heart, through the book that Jenel gave him, he understood the dangers of the world, understood many imperial techniques, and he knew that he could only go far by stepping on other people's corpses; The death of his sister forced him to walk on this road, this Shura road full of corpses.
If it is right to forgive others, is it wrong to take revenge on others?
In order to protect my most precious people, even if I am wrong, even if the world sees me as a devil, even if I have to sacrifice everything for this......
"Get out of here!" Bai Ye angrily split the person blocking his way into two pieces, his body was covered with his own and the blood of the enemy, his hand holding the knife trembled slightly, his body seemed to lose consciousness, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell.
Angel, wait for my brother, my brother will definitely go back to save you!
There weren't many imperial soldiers on this side of the slum, and Bai Ye dragged his crumbling body to the door of the house, only to find that the door was open.
As if his heart had been pinched, Bai Ye pushed open the door with all his strength and found ...... Angel's bed was empty, and she was no longer sitting at the table, smiling mysteriously.
Almost frantically, he grabbed his shoulders, "Why are you living here?" What about Angel? Where did she go? ”
He didn't gently push away Bai Ye, who was covered in blood, Bai Ye didn't expect him to do this, coupled with the physical discomfort, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground, "Let's make a deal, follow me, you can get a healthy Angel from me, how about it?" ”
"How do you want me to believe you!" Sure enough, as Bai Ye expected, he had not approached them, and he really had an intention.
"I don't need you to trust me, I just want you to follow me and serve me, and please note that your life and that of your sister are in my hands."
Bai Ye pondered for a while, "You, can you do it?" ”
"It's up to you to perform." He didn't suddenly stand up and stretched out a hand to Bai Ye, who had fallen to the ground, "Of course, I would rather have a companion to match than a follower in exchange for trading." ”
"Yes......" Bai Ye stretched out his hand and was pulled up, "Then you must fulfill your promise." ”
