Chapter 20: Saving the Light
According to Victor Hugo: the sewer is the conscience of the city. Fastest updates
Paris, sewers.
"Ernie sauce!"
The light once again supported the weak Qin Beiyang, sat in the sewer and gasped for a moment, the light illuminated the little girl's face, but he cared about her and said, "You're not hurt, are you?" They didn't bully you, did they? β
"I'm fine! Brother, are you seriously ill? β
"I haven't eaten for a day, I'm hungry, that's all."
Qin Beiyang was still coaxing her, but Guang forcibly reached out and touched his forehead: "Oops, it's so hot!" β
"Leave me alone!"
He stood up again, stuck a Tang knife in his back, and dragged the light forward.
At this time, they reached the lowest point of the terrain, and the sound of raging water sounded overhead. Qin Beiyang judged that he was crossing the Seine River underground. Countless forks in the road, he chose to go straight, only the largest and most correct road, once he went wrong in the spider web sewer, it was a dead end.
Just walked a few steps and fell, after all, it was the little girl who had no strength. Qin Beiyang carried her on his shoulder, although he was also weak, and could only walk down with bated breath.
"Brother, I'm not pretending this time. By the way, what were you talking about? β
Of course, Guang couldn't understand the Chinese conversation between Qin Beiyang and Ah You just now.
"The only thing you need to know is that Paris is dangerous right now, and you'd better go back to Japan with your father."
"As long as you're here, I'm going to be here. Brother, I never dreamed I would meet you again. The light blew in his ear, "I'm scared, I'll never see you again." During my time in Tokyo, I cried every day...... My father brought me to Paris, let me see the life of Europeans, and made tea for His Royal Highness Xiyuan Temple every day, so that I could forget my troubles for a while. β
Qin Beiyang nodded her nose, thinking about the scene when he first saw the light, and he carried her on his back like this, stepping on the snow and walking down Arashiyama in Kyoto. Now carry her on his back and walk down the sewers of Paris, seemingly endlessly, until both of them starve to death.
When the light asked about the nine colors, Qin Beiyang replied: "It's sick!" β
I don't know how long I've been walking, is it dawn? The terrain gradually rises and seems to have left the city of Paris. He still didn't change his direction, and went straight to a big road. The light had fallen asleep on his back, completely trusting and defenseless.
Suddenly, a light opened in front of his eyes, shining on the light on Qin Beiyang's shoulder.
He was about to rush forward, but he saw the light moving, and it turned out to be a horse lantern in the tunnel, which was held by a figure in his hand. He pulled out the Tang knife behind his back and slowly approached it. He saw a tall man, wrapped in a black robe, with a thick white cloth wrapped around his head, dragging down to his cheeks and beard.
He has a black beard, eagle-like eyes, a tall, straight nose, and thin lips...... Like Arabs from the Middle East?
During the Paris Peace Conference, dignitaries from all over the world gathered here, and it is not an exaggeration to see any race.
The Arabs had hidden a scimitar in their sleeves, the snow-white blade half exposed, and blood remained in the light.
He stared at Qin Beiyang and Light like a falcon staring at its prey.
Hikari woke up, rubbed his eyes on his back and said, "Ernie-chan, who is he?" Like a robber in One Thousand and One Nights. β
"He's an assassin."
Assassins all over the world have some kind of similar eyes, sharp as knives, even the occasional glare at you will make your face bleed!
Qin Beiyang suddenly understood that the Arab assassin in front of him had just finished his murder mission and wanted to escape the scene through the sewers of Paris. This man is very skilled, and I am afraid that there are other weapons in the robe. And Qin Beiyang has a little girl on his back, which must not be let go, and his own body is getting weaker and weaker, and he has long lost the strength to charge into battle.
Jiuse is not here, if the two of them fight, Qin Beiyang and Guang will die.
Even so, Qin Beiyang still held the Tang knife sideways and put on a mortal expression. Even though he doesn't know Arabic and the other party doesn't know Chinese, anger and despair are the common language of mankind.
Suddenly, the other party got out of the way, presumably because they didn't want to lose both, even if they saw each other's faces clearly.
Qin Beiyang carefully carried the light on his back and passed by the Arab assassin, but the little Japanese girl said on his shoulder: "Brother, can you ask who he is in English?" I want to know. β
Actually, Qin Beiyang also wants to know.
He stopped, but he was too embarrassed to speak English, because only Japanese people could understand the English he had learned in Japan. So, he used a Tang knife to carve a line of English on the wall of the sewer
hoareyouοΌ
The Arab's eyes showed understanding, and he took out the Damascus scimitar in his sleeve and carved a few letters on the wall on his side
assassins
Don't understand what it means at all? Maybe it's the other person's name? The Arab Assassins hurried away, sinking into the depths of the sewers of Paris.
Carrying the light on his back and continuing to walk, Qin Beiyang, who was about to collapse on his knees, looked up and saw the light at the exit of the sewer.
He had the strength to rush out of the smoke and grass to see the sun of Versailles.
The light blocked his eyes and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother! We survived! β
The Palace of Versailles is just a stone's throw away. It was already dawn, Qin Beiyang avoided the patrolling soldiers, came to the outside of the Japanese delegation, pointed to the sun flag on the hotel and said: "Light, go back quickly and find your father!" β
Guang just ran out a few steps, turned around and hugged him: "Brother, I don't want to go back, I want to go with you." β
Where does Qin Beiyang want to go with me? Go to the tower of Notre Dame Cathedral? He flatly rejected the light and left without a word, disappearing without a trace.
At the door of the hotel, the police found the light. On the night that had just passed, everyone thought that she was certain to die, and that the Korean Assassins would take their lives for their lives. The Marquis of Saga picked up his daughter and kissed him, and the pearl in his palm was lost and recovered. But for where is she being held? The specific appearance of the assassins, but the light means that they know nothing.
At the same time, Qin Beiyang stumbled to the Chinese delegation. He hid in the bushes and saw Ouyang Anna.
Dressed in a white dress and a sunhat, she was walking around Minister Gu Weijun's arm, joking in French and English. That man is beautiful, noble, rich and rich, a doctor in the United States, and the dream man of countless girls. What about Qin Beiyang? A craftsman who didn't graduate from high school, a wanted criminal who was caught everywhere, and a dying man.
Let's go find the nine colors, he left the hotel, just as a carriage passed by, revealing a familiar face. It turned out to be the small county king of Ordostoro, a noble son who had tried wrestling when he was young, and enthusiastically dragged him into the carriage and asked him where he was going?
Qin Beiyang coughed again, and replied with a dying breath: "Notre Dame!" β
