Chapter 43: Rooftop Rush

At the first glance of the four eyes, Bai Ling was sure that he was definitely not the opponent of the other party.

She drew her sword with a flick of her shot, and the moment the deer hunter charged, the whole person suddenly lay backwards, and her feet slid straight down the slope of the roof.

The tiles shook and slammed beneath her feet, and just as the deer hunter thought that Bowling was about to fall, she suddenly bent her feet together and jumped from one side of the roof to the lower eaves across the street.

Bai Ling rolled around with his hands and feet, and threw away the burden he was carrying, without those heavy dry food, Bai Ling felt light.

She quickly turned around and grimaced, "Who's going to fight you, slightly." ”

The next moment, she stepped on the ridge of the roof, leaned forward and ran forward, except for the sound of the wind, she heard a very light footsteps behind her.

Bai Ling's dexterity was beyond the expectations of the deer hunters, and several times she was forced to the edge of the block, with no roof in front of her to escape, and every now and then she either jumped to the branches of the nearby trees, or took advantage of the protrusions of the wooden walls between the streets to swing down and landed safely.

Then he turned around and dived into the narrow, winding alley.

These alleys were often filled with clotheslines or low walls built indiscriminately by the common people, and Bai Ling always used such places to distance himself from the deer hunters.

Such a chase quickly attracted the attention of the patrolmen, but it was obviously more noticeable than the sleek Bai Ling, and the unscrupulous and rampage deer hunters.

The deer hunter put his hood back on, covering his flaming red hair.

When they ran to both sides of the roof at a certain street corner, the two stopped at the same time with a tacit understanding.

"It's pretty good to run." The deer hunter whispered, a few more gasps in his voice.

"Each other, each other." Bai Ling glanced at the officials who were whistling underneath and said with a smile, "I thought you were also with the officials, why are you afraid of being seen by these officers and soldiers?" ”

The deer hunter still laughed, "Who said I was an officer and soldier......"

"Your companion went after my eldest brother, and the third brother was pressed by the official at the gate of the city for a long time...... You said that you are not in the same group as the officers and soldiers, and I don't believe it-"

Before the words fell, Bai Ling had already gotten up and ran fast again in the moonlight.

She was already able to distance herself from the deer hunters behind her.

In fact, whether it is a herding or a deer hunter, most of these sword-wielding and knife-wielding people who pursue the explosive power of drawing knives are inferior in endurance...... Strength and agility were also two ends that could not be reached at the same time.

Bai Ling decided to run around the city for a little longer, and he was expected to be able to get rid of the deer hunter completely.

From time to time, she looked sideways at the deer hunter behind her.

…… He also kept saying goodbye to Zhuozhou, if it was really a man's mouth and a deceitful ghost, this is still far away from Zhuozhou, and these people are ambushed here.

As he ran, Bai Ling gradually felt some changes in the eaves and streets under his feet.

In the sky above the long street, between the eaves and the eaves, there were suddenly many more horizontal ropes, and two blocks further on, there were more extinguished lantern shells on the ropes.

Bai Ling glanced up at the moon suddenly, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have been walking east, and the words of the innkeeper suddenly came to mind-

Have you ever been to the Chengdong Ancestral Hall? A few days ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, there are still a lot of lanterns that have not been picked at this time, and they are very beautiful!

…… Bai Ling frowned slightly, and a slight ominous premonition floated in his heart.

Did you come to the ancestral hall in the east of the city?

Bai Ling glanced back again—the deer hunter who had been following him was gone.

She felt a chill on the back of her neck again.

…… Is it because you realize that you can't catch up, so you give up on your own initiative?

The cold wind of the night blew, and she leaned down and crouched on the ridge of the roof, listening to the sound of the noise.

However, there was no sound around except the wind. The silence did not make Bai feel peaceful, but made her heart more uneasy than before.

The deer hunter had indeed vanished, and she had been squatting in place for about a cup of tea, and no one had ever approached her.

In the distance, there was a shout from the watchman, reminding residents that the weather was dry and that they should be careful of the candles.

At this point, there was a curfew, and there were no more pedestrians on the streets.

The guards at the gate of the city should have been alert, it would be dangerous to go to any inn to stay at this time, maybe they would search the city in the middle of the night - but the sky is above, why did this group of officers and soldiers suddenly target the three of them?

After thinking about it, Bai Ling decided to go back to the surface first, find a place to rest from the wind and rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow daylight.

She walked along the ridge of the roof with great lightness, and then, as before, a few raised poles and ropes along the streets on either side landed lightly on the bluestone floor of the narrow street.

The moment her feet hit the ground, she instinctively felt that the touch under her feet was different from before, but when she realized what it was, the whole person had been pulled in the air by a dark green net.

It was the same grey-cloaked men he had seen on the boat earlier, and he could see them standing on the corner of the street, pulling the ropes together.

Instinctively, she reached behind her waist and drew the knife, trying to cut the rope and escape, but quickly dismissed the idea.

- At both ends of the street, Bai Ling saw dozens of officers and soldiers with torches already standing at the entrance of the street.

Behind them, crossbowmen had already drawn their bows.

Bai Ling felt his throat dry slightly, and then put his two hands behind his head very familiarly.

……

When his hands were tied and escorted to a three-way courtyard, Bai Ling saw the officer and soldier who had been on duty in front of the post stable.

He was no longer dressed in a straw cloth garment like he had done that night, but had changed into armor and stood at the door of this courtyard.

Sensing Bai Ling's gaze, the officer and soldier immediately glared at her, with a posture that wanted to overwhelm her in momentum.

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze - too, they probably didn't recognize themselves at this moment.

Then, she stood in the empty courtyard and waited for a long time, before a person came out of the room in front of her, and the man did not speak, but waved his hand vigorously, and the other people in the courtyard stepped forward and pushed Bai Ling to the house.

A lone lamp was lit in the room, and Bai Ling saw that his baggage had been opened, and everything in it was neatly laid out on the table in four rows.

There was a muffled voice from within.

After a while, there was a sound of chairs being dragged, and the door of the inner room opened, and two middle-aged people walked out of it.

The faces of these two people felt strange when they looked at them.

Several people looked at each other in silence until one of them walked up to Bai Ling, stretched out his hand and said, "Where did you come from this thing?" ”

Bai Ling lowered his eyes and saw that he was holding the dark green purse in his hand.
