Chapter 683: Footprints Reappear
Xu Rui followed the qi machine to chase out of the secret room, the qi machine had completely dissipated, he paused and looked around, there was still no one in the room, but there was a slight sound of footsteps on the roof.
Xu Rui snorted coldly and rushed out of Hu Miao's bedroom, and the few little eunuchs guarding outside were startled when they saw Xu Rui's aggressiveness.
"Master Hou, what happened?"
The little eunuch who had guided Xu Rui before asked stubbornly.
Xu Rui didn't have time to pay attention to him, and waved his hand to make them stand back, while looking up at the roof.
However, at this moment, there was no one on the roof, and it seemed that the master had disappeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Xu Rui's ears moved, and he suddenly heard a faint sound from behind the house, as if someone had fallen lightly from a high place.
Xu Rui sneered, immediately lifted the qi machine and flew up, and rushed to the back of Hu Miao's house.
Behind the house is a narrow alley, contrary to the grandeur of the emperor's palace, where eunuchs and court maids lived, usually crowded and narrow, like this labyrinth-like narrow alley abounds.
Xu Rui locked his ears on the footsteps of the man fleeing, sniffed his scent, and a picture immediately appeared in his mind, someone jumped from the roof, and then fled in a hurry along this narrow alley.
Xu Rui hesitated slightly, instantly ruled out the possibility of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and immediately chased forward.
I saw that his figure was a flower, and he was seven or eight feet away in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had already rushed to the corner of the narrow alley, and he stepped on the red wall, and his body crossed the wall like a flying swallow.
There are big rules in the palace, and the eunuchs will be taught a lesson if they go too fast on weekdays, but at this moment, Xu Rui can't take care of the suspicion of trespassing in order to catch that person.
The two chased and fled, both of them seemed to know each other's existence, and in the blink of an eye, they passed through several narrow alleys.
After climbing over two more walls, Xu Rui fell into a narrow alley again, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards the empty front.
At this moment, Xu Rui could clearly hear the other party's heartbeat and wheezing, and the two of them were just fleeing in the same direction along two different narrow alleys across a palace wall.
Suddenly, Xu Rui's body was stunned in the midst of the wild running, and the huge inertia pushed him to rotate around like a spinning top, just bypassing the original movement trajectory.
At this moment, a long knife fell from the sky and slashed on the ground, if Xu Rui continued to run forward without noticing, he would be in a different place this time.
After dodging the fatal blow, Xu Rui looked up and saw that the attacker was a masked man wearing a eunuch's palace robe, who was the mysterious master he was chasing along the way.
The mysterious master was shocked when he failed to strike, as if he didn't expect Xu Rui's martial arts to be so profound, and he was afraid that Xu Rui would fight back against him, so he immediately raised his knife again and slashed at Xu Rui's head.
Xu Rui took a half step back, dodged the waist knife again, and then immediately bullied up and slammed into the man's arms.
The man felt as if he had been hit by a brute bull, and immediately flew upside down.
But Xu Rui grabbed his arm without waiting for him to fly away and lifted him back.
The man was shocked, and his other hand immediately swung the knife towards Xu Rui's neck, Xu Rui snorted coldly, his fingers strangely blocked the wrist of the man holding the knife, and then stretched out his index finger and tapped it on his back elbow.
The man suddenly felt that his whole arm was numb, and the long knife fell to the ground with a "bang".
Xu Rui twisted his left hand expressionlessly, only to hear a "click", and the person's other arm was suddenly twisted off by Xu Rui.
The man's eyes burst out in an instant, his head was covered with cold sweat, and he was obviously in extreme pain, but he held on silently.
"Who are you?"
Xu Rui asked coldly.
Instead of answering, the man gritted his teeth and kicked Xu Rui down.
Seeing that he still didn't give up resisting, Xu Rui snorted coldly and swept towards him with his feet.
Xu Rui didn't have the slightest force for this blow, and the genetically modified right leg came first, colliding with the head-on kick kicked by the man.
There was another "click", and the man's lower leg was broken instantly, and the huge pain made him unable to hold back any longer, and let out a "woo" howl.
Xu Rui knew that this person was stubborn and had no mercy, so he kicked him in the chest again, kicking him out and hitting the corner with a "bang".
A dark red instantly overflowed from the man's masked black scarf, and his qi had plummeted to the bottom, apparently suffering extremely serious internal injuries, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
"You're not the murderer last night, who are you?"
Seeing this person's appearance, Xu Rui couldn't help frowning and asked.
Although this person's kung fu is good, especially the control of the qi machine is very outstanding, but the real combat power is only an ordinary first-class master, and the gap between him and the person who killed Hu Miao with one blow is too big, and it is impossible to be the same person.
Seeing that the man didn't speak, Xu Rui thought about it while walking towards the man and said coldly: "You can't escape, since you don't want to say it, then Ben Hou will come and see it in person!" ”
Although this person is not the murderer last night, it is very unusual for him to appear here, and this person has a tough style, even if his hands and feet are broken, he has never wailed for a minute, quite like a person in the army.
This reminded Xu Rui of what Hu Miao had said before the accident, "Those who are soldiers don't want me to feel better, and I won't let them feel better."
At present, Xu Rui suspected that this person was born in the army, and he became more and more curious about this person's identity.
As he spoke, Xu Rui stretched out to the man and wanted to tear off the black scarf covering his face.
At the moment when his hand was about to touch the black scarf, he suddenly felt a terrifying qi machine coming from behind him, and the hairs on his body instantly stood upside down.
Xu Rui's face changed, and he immediately withdrew his hand and slammed half a step to the right.
At the same time, only listening to the sound of "bang", a black shadow passed by Xu Rui, and kicked the palace wall, if Xu Rui was slow for half a beat, this kick would be kicked in his lower back.
Xu Rui looked back and saw that there was another man in black beside the master who had just been knocked over by him, who was slowly retracting his feet from the palace wall, and a thick-soled official boot footprint appeared on the palace wall that he had kicked over, which was the footprint that Xu Rui had seen in the ruins of Orion.
"It's you?!"
Seeing this footprint, Xu Rui frowned and snorted.
The man's eyes froze, as if he was very surprised that Xu Rui recognized him, and subconsciously reached out to touch the black scarf on his face, and found that the black scarf had not fallen, so he calmed down.
Xu Rui stared at his movements, and said with a sneer: "You know me, and I know you too, right?" ”
The man frowned when he heard this, only then did he realize that he had revealed a flaw, and sneered: "Master Hou is really full of thorns, and he will accidentally catch your way." ”
This person's voice was very hoarse, obviously deliberate, to avoid exposing his own voice and being recognized by Xu Rui.
Xu Rui was even more sure in his heart, and immediately wanted to capture this person, but when this person saw that Xu Rui intended to make a move, his whole body suddenly moved, and he immediately rushed towards Xu Rui like a mountain and a sea.
Xu Rui didn't expect this person's qi machine to be so strong, and immediately lifted the qi machine to block the invisible attack.
The two qi engines collided together, Xu Rui's face turned red, and he took three steps back, feeling numb all over his body.
"Although Master Hou's martial arts are strong, he is not good at qi, you are not my opponent yet."
The man looked at Xu Rui coldly, faintly.
Xu Rui frowned, although he didn't want to admit it, but this person was indeed telling the truth, his martial arts were already the top in the world, and I am afraid that he could only easily win if he was away from that kind of existence.
However, even if his martial arts are stronger than Xu Rui, Xu Rui is not without any chance of winning, Xu Rui stretched out his hand to his waist and held the pistol while thinking about countermeasures.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps in the distance, as if the forbidden army in the palace was alarmed by the movement here and rushed to it.
"The drama came so quickly, and Master Hou didn't want to be found out that you were investigating this matter, right? It seems that today is unfortunate, we will have a meeting later! ”
The man heard the movement, sneered and said to Xu Rui with a fist, and then lifted the dying companion on the ground to his shoulder like a chicken, and one dodged over the palace wall and disappeared.
Xu Rui was stunned and watched this person disappear, but he didn't chase it, because this person's martial arts were too high, even if he caught up without using firearms, it would be useless.
Second, there are many people in the palace, Xu Rui really doesn't want more people to find out that he is secretly investigating the prince's rebellion, and since he has been detected by the forbidden army, he has no choice but to give up.
However, this time it is not without gain, at least from the two masters who have appeared one after another, Xu Rui has found the direction.
"Are the thieves in the army?"
Xu Rui sneered at the corner of his mouth and muttered thoughtfully.
