Chapter 25: Three Fugitives
When Fu Bo and Xue Wuxian were about to go down to the roof, they suddenly felt a sound of scattered and hurried footsteps towards the small courtyard.
This made the two of them vigilant, it was very remote, it was late at night, and usually no one came, and the footsteps were scattered and hurried, as if they were being chased.
But after a while, they saw three figures, staggering towards the area where the small courtyard was located. There were also hula footsteps in the distance, which sounded like there were quite a few people, and there was also a bustling shout.
"People are running this way, chase me!"
"Hurry up! The others ran away, and several death row prisoners dared to escape, and also injured Young Master Yuwen, they must not be let go. ”
"Cheer up, chase me, hurry up, hurry up!"
The bursts of shouts reminded Xue Wuxian of the scene he heard at the city gate during the day, but he didn't expect that those death row prisoners who were taken as prey actually escaped, and also injured the prince of the city lord's mansion, it seems that he is also a great character.
"Snow Boy, go see the good little master, I'll come when I go!"
Just as Xue Wuxian was about to speak, a glint suddenly shot out of Fauber's eyes, and then he left a sentence and disappeared on the roof, leaving Xue Wuxian with a surprised face.
However, Xue Wuji's surprise only stopped for a moment, he knew what Fu Bo was doing, and it seemed that he might know those people, so he didn't stop and quickly climbed off the roof and walked quickly to the wing.
At this time, Fauber had already come to the alley at the door and stopped the three people who were running.
The three men, dressed in tattered prison uniforms and covered in scars, were looking at Fauber who was standing in front of them with horrified faces, and one of them seemed to be seriously injured and was being supported by the other.
The other person held a short sword in front of the two of them, looked at Fu Bo vigilantly and said, "Who is Your Excellency, and why are you blocking our way?"
Fu Bo didn't speak, but looked at the three people in front of him with some excitement, he didn't expect that it was actually them who were chased, these people were still alive, which was really a big surprise.
And the man who spoke couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart when he saw that Fauber didn't speak, but just kept staring at them.
However, he saw Fu Bo's slightly excited expression, and thought to himself that it seemed that this rickety old man should not be in league with the person chasing after him, so he looked at Fu Bo's hands and said: "We are being chased and killed, and my master is seriously injured, please help us a little and save us a way to live, Tang is grateful!"
At this time, the noisy sound behind was getting closer and closer, and listening to the footsteps, there seemed to be a lot of people, heading straight for here.
Fu Bo put away the excitement in his heart, and said to a few people in a deep voice: "Don't talk, follow me!"
"Huh?"
The seriously injured man's eyes that had been slightly closed when he heard Fauber's voice suddenly opened, as if he had discovered something incredible, but Fauber had already turned around, leaving him with a rickety back.
And just now the man with the short sword also looked at him, he nodded to the man, and then the three of them followed behind Faub and walked towards the small courtyard not far away.
At this time, Tang Fan had been woken up by Xue Wuxi, and the two were looking at the courtyard gate through the window in the wing.
"Squeak!"
When the courtyard gate opened, and Fu Bo walked into the courtyard gate with the three of them, Tang Fan and Xue Wuxian were surprised, they didn't expect Fu Bo to actually intervene in this matter, it seems that these people have some way to go.
"You come with me!" Fu Bo closed the courtyard door, led the three of them to a well next to the courtyard, and said to Tang Fan and the room where they were: "Little young master, Xue Gongzi, you should come over too!"
Tang Fan and Xue Wuxian came to the well and looked at the three people brought by Fu Bo, but they couldn't see the faces of the three people clearly in the night, and they could only see the big prison characters on the three people.
"Huh, you're ......"
The three of them were also looking at Tang Fan and Xue Wuxian who came over, and the seriously injured man suddenly opened his eyes when he saw Tang Fan's appearance, and he opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Fu Bo.
"Don't speak, now that time is pressing, you go down to the well, sink under the water and turn right, there is a secret room there! Fauber hesitated for a moment and then said, "There is a secret passage on the left, and you can escape for your life at a critical moment." ”
The bustling sound outside had already approached the small courtyard, and several people knew that it was not the time to speak, so they went down to the well in turn.
The well was about ten meters deep, and after Tang Fan and they sank underwater, they found that there were passages on the left and right, and they walked to the right passage only to find that the passage was diagonally upward, and after walking about three meters, they surfaced. What appeared in front of them was a stone door, and everyone pushed open the stone door and walked in.
At this time, Tang Fan took out a night pearl from the ring, and his eyes lit up in an instant, and what appeared in front of Tang Fan was a secret room, about ten square meters, with a bed, a table and a few stools, and there were many dried foods such as dried meat wrapped in animal skins next to it, which should be a refuge in case of emergency.
Tang Fan put the Night Pearl on the table and began to look at the three people. The three of them were cleaning up the water and wounds on their bodies at this time, each of them was in tattered prison clothes, there were knife wounds and sword marks everywhere, and through the tears in their clothes, they could even see the flesh and blood turned out inside, obviously they had experienced a brutal battle before.
It can be seen that among the three, the most seriously injured person is the leader, the person is about forty years old, his full beard is beaten into a lock by the well water, and his long hair is scattered on his shoulders, looking a little embarrassed, while the other two are in their thirties, the same unkempt, but the two are helping the seriously injured person clean up the wounds, it should be the person's guards, and the injured person's eyes are staring at Tang Fan.
At this time, seeing Tang Fan looking at them, he opened his mouth to say something, but it happened that the guards were helping him remove a piece of infected carrion, and he gritted his teeth in pain and swallowed what he wanted to say.
"This person also wanted to say something before, but now again, does he know me?" Tang Fan muttered in his heart.
He looked at this middle-aged man and seemed to be a little familiar, but he searched his memory and there was no figure of this person.
However, looking at his painful appearance, Tang Fan was also a little unbearable, he took out some healing medicine from the space ring and handed it over.
"You can use these healing medicines, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the wound is infected. ”
One of the guards thanked him and took the healing medicine, although it was all low-level healing medicine, but it was enough to treat their external injuries, and it could be said that it solved their urgent need.
......
Outside the well, at this time, the search team behind had already rushed to the surroundings of the small courtyard, but the three fleeing figures could no longer be found.
"Those three disappeared around here, they were seriously injured and they could not flee far, search me, search from house to house, be sure to catch them. ”
"Wang Hu, you take a few people over there, Zhang Long, you bring a few people here, you can't let those bastards run away, you dare to escape, and you also injured Young Master Yuwen, you must cut them with a thousand knives if you find them. ”
The silence of the dwellings was broken by the sound of shouts, and the sound of a quick knock on the door woke up the sleeping people, and there was a commotion everywhere.
Fauber had just finished processing the traces left by the three men when he heard a knock on the door, and he turned around and walked to the room, lit a lamp, and then walked towards the gate with his body bent.
There were seven or eight soldiers in armor standing outside the door, each of them was above the cultivation of the Lingwu Realm, and the leader was the cultivation of the Diwu Realm, when the door was opened, he pushed Fu Bo away violently, ignoring Fu Bo's old body and almost falling, he broke in with the people behind him.
"Give me a careful search, don't let go of any clues, these people are around here!"
"A few military masters, I don't know what you're searching for, it's just an old man living here, and there is no one else!"
Fu Bo recognized that these people were all guards of the City Lord's Mansion, each of them was a cultivator above the Lingwu Realm, and several of the commanders had a cultivation of the Earth Martial Realm, and the one who led the team was one of the leaders, Yu Xiang.
Hearing Fu Bo's words, Na Yu Xiang pushed Fu Bo aside, and then said viciously: "Old thing, don't talk while watching, we are arresting key criminals on the orders of the city lord, if you let go of the key criminals here, you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
After Yu Xiang finished speaking, he yelled at those soldiers again: "Search carefully for me, don't let go of every corner!"
And he himself was wandering around the yard, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he came to the well and stopped.
This made Fu Bo's heart tighten, and he was secretly on guard, if Yu Xiang really found that there was something abnormal in the well, he would kill it as soon as possible, and then lead people out of the small courtyard, and he must not let a few people under the well be exposed. Fortunately, Yu Xiang just stopped by the well and walked away, which also made Fu Bo breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the soldiers who searched the room also came out one after another, obviously without any gain.
Seeing that everyone came back empty-handed, Yu Xiang's face suddenly turned cold, and he pointed at Fu Bo and shouted, "Take this old thing down for me!"
When the soldiers heard this, they hured and rushed at Fauber.
Although Fauber didn't know what was wrong, he couldn't be careless, and immediately his body shook, turned into a streamer, and disappeared in place, only to see a streamer flash, and the soldiers who flew suddenly burst out with blood and fell to the ground.
When Yu Xiang's body just moved, he reacted that he was looking away, and he was just about to make a move, but Fu Bo had already arrived in front of him, and a big hand clasped his neck like an eagle's claw.
"Ho, ho!"
Yu Xiang had just made two sounds in his throat when he heard a "gaba", and then he felt a cold neck and lost consciousness.
Twisting Yu Xiang's neck, Fu Bo's sharp eyes swept across the yard, as if judging what made Yu Xiang notice that something was wrong, thinking about it, there was only the smell of blood, and now the yard was full of blood, I believe they should not find anything more.
After doing all this, Fauber let out a long roar, jumped onto the roof, and ran into the distance.
