Chapter 14: The Pursuit

"If I'm not mistaken, Chundie is now in their hands, and the news of this in Shifang Street is probably also released by them, the purpose is to lure me out."

When Xia Chan heard this, she was immediately a little worried.

"Childe, let's go with you."

Cheng Liu looked at the extremely worried appearance of the two beauties, and his heart suddenly became a little happy.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, besides, they're all outsiders, can they be more familiar with the terrain here than we are?"

Although he was telling the truth, he still didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Shifang Street is the center of the city, and unlike other streets, the Sifang Street connecting the two sides is the main transportation hub, including entering and exiting the city.

The ditch below is one of the important measures for Cheng Liu to build water conservancy, coupled with the recent continuous reform, it has faintly taken shape, so Cheng Liu is regarded as a treasure.

And the location of these Huns happens to be in Shifang Street, no matter what the purpose is, Cheng Liu can no longer stand still, he must go over to see it in person.

After leaving the county guard's mansion, Cheng Liu found that someone was following behind him.

This person is good at tracking, and the distance control is also very good, but it can be seen from this time that this person may not be a Huns, but he is inseparable from them.

Cheng Liu thought about it, and went directly from Sifang Street to the bridge in the ditch, and at this time he was about to pass under the bridge, and suddenly felt apprehensive in his heart.

Because the whole city built its own water conservancy and irrigation facilities, there are ditches under almost every bridge, and these ditches are connected to underground waterways, extending in all directions.

He cautiously walked towards the pawnshop to the south, but halfway through, he found that the lights of the pawnshop had suddenly turned off, as if sensing his arrival.

Although the light was dark, Cheng Liu, with his good hearing, found the sound of someone going to the room inside.

The sound of stepping on the roof tiles was very soft, it sounded like walking in the snow in cotton, and the sound was very dull.

Cheng Liu hurriedly rushed up with an arrow step, went directly to the roof, followed the source of the sound, and saw a person wearing a night suit and running fast with a person on his back.

"Why is a Hun so familiar with the terrain in the city?"

At this time, Cheng Liu realized that there was almost no pause in this person's flying eaves and walking on the wall, either he was walking blindly, or he was extremely familiar with the terrain here.

It was obviously the latter, because Cheng Liu saw that this was the direction out of the city.

At this time, although the front gate was closed, the south gate was still open, so it was specially reserved for the convenience of the business team entering the city at night.

Cheng Liu sped up, and the distance between the two narrowed a little closer.

But at this moment, the man suddenly jumped into the river, and the person he was carrying was always facing Cheng Liu, so Cheng Liu didn't dare to determine whether it was a spring butterfly.

The river rippled, and along the flow of the river were bridges connecting the two banks, and the river led to the north side of the square street, and from the ditches of the square street could lead to the ditches everywhere, and it was almost impossible to catch him at that time.

Cheng Liu took a deep breath and immediately jumped down.

The current is not fast, after all, it is a small river, and it will not be very deep.

After entering the water, the vision was blurred instantly, and I could only see someone in front of me swimming desperately forward with a person on his back, although the speed was not fast, but taking the opportunity to enter the water first, it was a bit difficult to catch up with him in a short time at this time.

Cheng Liu secretly competed, and when he got closer and closer to the man, he found that he suddenly surfaced, and then only a series of water sounds sounded, and then disappeared.

"Damn!"

Cheng Liu wrung the water off his clothes, looked at the watermark on the ground, and entered a ditch, but this was already a square street, and there were ditches everywhere, and if he wanted to find him, he couldn't judge it by the watermark alone.

But at this moment, Cheng Liu's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a ditch on one side, as if a person was lying down......

The man was in rags and lying on the ground, with his hands spread out, as if he were a drunken man drunk and unconscious on the side of the road.

"Hey, did you just see someone passing by here?"

"Hey, I talked to you, did you hear me?"

"Hey!?"

Cheng Liu screamed a few times in a row, but the man didn't react at all, Cheng Liu suddenly became a little anxious, and kicked him directly in the back with his foot.

At this time, Cheng Liu suddenly realized that the soles of his feet seemed to be stained with something.

He dipped a little of his index finger and put it between his nose to smell it, and immediately gasped.

This man is dead!

Cheng Liu looked around, no one passed by this side so late, it was already raining lightly, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road, this person didn't know when he died here, I'm afraid that if he didn't chase people, he wouldn't be found until tomorrow morning.

Cheng Liu flipped him over, there was a deep wound on the top of his head, and there was also a wound in his heart, looking at this knife, it should be a scimitar, and the wound would form an arc and tear outward.

"If he had just died, he would have heard the noise, could it be before he went ashore?"

In this era, only the Huns liked to use scimitars, so Cheng Liu pointed the finger directly at them.

At this time, it was also concluded that the Huns had set up people at each ditch, and if someone passed by or accidentally found them, they would be killed directly.

No wonder no one has noticed them since they entered the city for so long, they are hidden so deeply, if it weren't for looking for Spring Butterfly, Cheng Liu wouldn't know when he would be able to see them.

The rain suddenly became heavier, Cheng Liu just crawled out of the water, plus the night wind blew, and now the rain is drenched again, and he can't help but sneeze.

"Who?"

As soon as the sneezing was finished, someone suddenly shouted on the bridge, and why does this sound sound so familiar?

"Spring Butterfly?" Cheng Liu asked subconsciously.

"Childe!"

The people on the bridge were also very excited and immediately ran down.

Chundie's clothes were a little dirty, and she looked like she had just crawled out of the ditch, and she still had a smell on her body.

"Why are you here?"

The question was asked almost simultaneously by both of them.

Chundie explained: "I chased those people, drilled around the ditch, and then accidentally lost it, so I could only come back, but I didn't expect to see you." ”

Cheng Liu suddenly thought of something, and immediately pointed to the corpse and asked, "When you came before, was this corpse not here?" ”

"In, and not only in one place, but also on the other side, when I found out, I saw that those Huns went to the pawnshop, so I immediately deliberately released the news, let people know that I entered the pawnshop, and wanted to say that if you want to find me, you can also follow this clue to find those Huns."
