Chapter 200: An Unexpected Reunion
"Boss, I really don't think it's appropriate for us to rush in without a plan. ”
Robert still wanted to do the dying throes, even though his men had already reached the collapsed hole.
"Shut up!" said Stannis, who was hunched in front of him, turning back and making a shushing gesture to signal him to keep quiet.
Then he cautiously poked his head into the cave, which was pitch black and looked unguarded.
"What a prison where no one has ever escaped, the cowhide is too big!" Stannis struggled to peel off the vines, but was pricked by the barbs on it. Unable to stand the ding, he wanted to pull out the fire kiss and burn all the plants with the fire on it, but in the end he held back.
When the two of them finally got through the thorn bushes and entered the prison, they finally saw the internal structure of this huge castle, that is, the city wall was only the first line of defense, and the main body of the prison was a completely enclosed castle. Between the castle and the city walls, a long path criss-crosses the castle and the walls, and it seems that the interior of the prison was originally designed to be separated by these stone walls into a dizzying labyrinth that would quickly get lost if you are not familiar with the roads.
"Boss, which of the many roads leads to the castle?" asked Robert, in a deliberately low voice.
"I don't know, why don't we ask?" Stannis gave him a blank look, and said the opposite.
Robert shrugged, he was about to take a step forward, but from the darkness there was a sound of loose strings, and then a sharp arrow was fired at them, but fortunately Stannis was dexterous enough to dodge, otherwise he would have died on the spot!
This arrow shot from the shadows not only made him break out in a cold sweat, but also made his brain instantly think of a terrible thing.
Since there were so many people outside the walls looking for loopholes day after day, it was impossible that not one of them had not discovered the hole they had just used to get in, but why hadn't one of them sneaked into the prison from inside? Unless, the hole itself was a trap, deliberately let people in!
Sure enough, after the bow and arrow were shot in the air, a cry of frustration came from the darkness, "No, I have never missed! ”
It looks like there are guards waiting for stupid guys like him to throw themselves into the net, and what's even more terrifying is that Stannis doesn't know how many bows and arrows are still aimed at him in the dark.
At this moment of crisis, Stannis left decisively and shouted: "Turnip, we have been tricked......!
His little brother had long since run away......
Stannis did not have time to curse and immediately ran away, and it seemed that the other party was not in a hurry to catch him, but released him like a prey and chased him after him, and then shot him to death with a bow and arrow. On the run, he could clearly hear the unhurried footsteps of the 'hunters' behind him, as if they were enjoying the process of chasing him. Now Stannis finally understood that the gap was undoubtedly deliberately left behind, just to lure outsiders in, so that they could be hunted and looted for loot.
Stannis fled for his life in a panic, but the intricate path seemed to have no end, and several times he ran back to square one, and then was driven into the alley again by a few bows and arrows, and he felt that sooner or later he would collapse.
The other party also seemed to feel that it was almost time to close the net, and there were voices from both ends of the road, and they were ready to block Stannis in the alley without an exit one after the other, looking at the walls on both sides with nowhere to hide, Stannis was ready to draw his sword and make a final fight, so that at least he would die with some dignity.
Suddenly, a slender white hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed Stannis's shoulder, and then pulled him into the darkness...... Well, under the woman's skirt.
But of course, not between the legs, this mysterious woman's skirt has a hole, and there is an iron skirt underneath, which is stretched out to form a semi-circular iron cage space, which hides him in it. Stannis had seen this style of dress in books, and the aesthetics of 18th-century European ghosts were really nasty.
After a few moments, he heard the sound of a dozen heavy footsteps and walked quickly towards the place, then stopped.
In the darkness, Stannis could hear his heart beating wildly.
At that moment, a voice came from outside, "Good night, Miss Kawakami." ”
The name was familiar, but Stannis couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Good night, Mr. Guard, may I ask why you are in such a hurry?" A sweet voice came from above her skirt, and Stannis, who was squatting under her skirt, broke out in a cold sweat, and as long as she lifted her skirt, she was going to die with the shameful title of erotomaniac.
"An intruder has just escaped into the prison, and we are now hunting him down, but it's you, Mrs. Kawakami, why are you still outside at such a late hour, aren't you supposed to talk to the Bishop about human sin......" The other seemed suspicious.
But the woman's inner voice, which can dissolve the heart of all straight men, sounded again, "You see, before listening to the bishop's holy message, I like to walk in the evening breeze so that my sinful body can be washed away. ”
The bishop's oracle, why are you listening to this in the middle of the night?
"Oooh. The captain immediately understood what he meant, and he quickly apologized, "I'm really sorry to disturb you, but there is one last question, did you hear someone running from here just now?"
"Yes. Without the slightest hesitation, the woman said directly.
Stennis's heart was beating to his throat.
"There was a dark shadow running past me just now, and I was very curious at the time, but now that I think about it, that person must be the one who came to rob the prison. ”
The man under the skirt breathed a sigh of relief, and the woman looked just like herself, lying without even blinking her eyes.
"Thank you for telling me, everyone, continue to follow this path, make sure not to put him in the castle, and we still have to find him before he starves to death in this labyrinth!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in a loud voice, and the sound of neat footsteps began to fade away.
But the captain had no intention of leaving, and he asked, "You see that it is so late, do you want me to escort you to the bishop's room?"
The woman politely refused: "No need, I still have to wash my soul more, you can go and get busy first." ”
The captain of the guard walked away in a huff, and Stannis could finally get out from under his skirt, and he was about to faint from the scent under his skirt just a moment.
He stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me, Miss Kawakami...... Huh, you're not that Tannis Dahlia!"
When he saw the face of the woman who saved him, he couldn't help but exclaim, because standing in front of him was the woman who had made the principality crazy and the most famous lover in bed, Tomini Kawakami!
But he had only met her once at the last martial arts tournament held by the Wolf family, so why did she save herself, could it be that there was some earth-shattering conspiracy hidden in it?
