At night, London was shrouded in rain, and everywhere was hazy, and no one noticed, and two black figures crept close to the foot of the city walls.

"This inn was rebuilt when the old city wall was demolished, there are two courtyards, and the other courtyard has a small gate leading directly to the outside, but the horses can't be taken out."

In a small alley, Van Hersin skillfully opened the back door of the hotel and sneaked in quietly with Zhang Yang, the ground was paved with stone slabs very flat, and he didn't have to worry about leaving footprints when it was washed by the rain.

At this moment, London was surrounded by heavy rain, and even the city's pursuers could only temporarily silence their flags, giving them a chance to escape.

The hotel is quite quiet, most of the guests have already slept, only the guests who sleep late and the kitchen on the first floor are still lit, but the rain is very strong at the moment, no one will come out to get drenched, even if there is any sound, it will be hidden by the heavy rain without a trace.

"You've been here?"

Zhang Yang watched Van Hexin touch the backyard of the hotel with ease, and then took Zhang Yang to quietly shuttle in the first floor, and after avoiding the hotel next to him, the two came to another small courtyard, and there was a rusty iron fence gate on the side of the city wall, which was black and soot.

"Ahem."

Van Hesin coughed embarrassedly twice, wiped a handful of rainwater from the brim of his hat, and said, "I've been in and out of here a few times before, and you know, my identity can't be revealed." ”

Zhang Yang nodded to show that he understood, in fact, Van Hesin still hadn't said a word, and his dark horse was stolen from here.

The black horse was tethered to a small alley in the backyard of the hotel, and when the rain had passed, it would be easy to be spotted, and the people of the hotel would be more than happy to get it back.

"It's a tunnel." Van Hesin quietly used wire to pry the lock on the iron fence and explained in a low voice: "Through the tunnel, you can go directly to the moat outside. We swam straight across the moat, and there was a hiding place for me in the nearby woods where we could replenish something. ”

At this moment, London still retains the setting of the city wall, but not the original old city wall, but on the basis of the new city wall, some extra small doors have been purposefully opened for backup, which are guarded by the households, and the city wall is hollow inside, with tunnels, and you can reach the outside moat through it.

"Help me watch some people."

“OK。” Zhang Yang stared at the movement around him. Through the rain curtain, you can see the figure of the window on the second floor.

The main gate of the city gate outside has been closed, and it is only guarded, and if you want to pass through, you must be cross-examined, so Van Hersin can only fight this idea to escape, as for the method used by the two people before to leave. Then it is unknown.

There was a click, a soft sound. The thick lock was opened by Van Hersing. The sound of unlocking the lock was perfectly muffled by the heavy rain, and the two of them quietly entered the tunnel without alerting anyone in the hotel, and then locked the lock again.

No one could have imagined that without anyone noticing, two strangers had already swaggered around London. And slipped out from here.

"Whew."

Van Hesin breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled out an old-fashioned lighter from his bosom, and the faint light of the fire suddenly illuminated the surrounding situation.

The entrance to the tunnel is slightly higher than the ground. Therefore, it was very dry inside, and there was not much dust, apparently there were still people who cleaned it regularly, enough to accommodate two adult men walking side by side, about two meters high, and you could vaguely feel a gust of wind blowing from the opposite side, apparently leading straight to the entrance outside the city.

"Follow me."

Van Hesin took the lead, and the two turned a few corners in the winding tunnel, and there was a sound of water in the distance, and Van Hesin estimated that it was almost there, and then extinguished the lighter.

In the city gatehouse, on both sides of the closed gate, several British soldiers were bored drinking and chatting, this sudden heavy rain is rare, they are also happy, after closing the city gate, they hide in the house to drink and chat, so no one notices that a stone slab outside the city wall is suddenly pushed open to the side, revealing a hole.

Zhang Yang touched the groove of the ground with interest, this stone slab can be cut to the side, it is closed on weekdays, it is difficult to distinguish from the outside, from the hole to look out, the position of about a meter below is the moat, you can see the river flowing quickly.

"Be careful, there's a wire under your feet that you can touch with your hands."

Zhang Yang nodded, jumped into the river first, and then held his breath and touched it in the moat, and soon touched a thick iron cable, the river at this moment is not turbulent, but because of the rain, it is difficult to distinguish the direction, this iron cable undoubtedly provides great help.

After Van Hesin jumped, he stepped on a stone protrusion that was hidden under the water, closed the stone slab again, and swam behind Zhang Yang towards the opposite shore.

Most of the two of them were soaked in the river, it was difficult to find if they didn't look carefully, Zhang Yang raised his head and saw that the tall city wall looked even more terrifying at the moment, like a black mountain pressing on top of his head, which could fall down at any time.

The moat was not wide, and soon the two swam to the opposite bank, glanced at the lights in the gate tower in the distance, and quickly left in the rain.

"Whew."

Zhang Yang took a sip of a cup of hot coffee, and the chill on his body was immediately dispelled a lot.

After leaving the moat, the two marched some way in the rain to a small town on the outskirts of London, where Van Hessing had a small house with some basic household items.

Some of Van Hesin's money was used to buy necessities to ensure that the stronghold was ready to use, such as the two of them lighting a fire, roasting their clothes slowly, and then making a cup of hot coffee to ward off the chill.

When the two of them came out, their bodies and packages were soaked, Zhang Yang was fine, the one-handed sword was not afraid of getting wet, and the clothes only needed to be dried, but Van Hesin took out a lot of bottles and cans, pistols, silver piles, and all kinds of strange things, and then dried them with towels one by one.

"It will rain for a while, and it will take some time for the Englishmen to search here, and when the rain stops, we will set off, and we will go to the town to buy a horse first, and we will go to the port first, and find a boat from there to leave."

Van Hesin looked out the window at the rain and thought about the next road, and planted a low grove around the house, and at the moment the green leaves of the trees were pressed by the rain, which was rarely seen in London.

By the time they left, the stronghold would have been abandoned, and the British soldiers would soon search for it, but by that time they would have already left. (To be continued......)
