Chapter 148: Falling short

"Fifth, seventh, wake up, that kid is gone!!"

Under the tree, the third child shouted anxiously, just now, suddenly a cloud crossed over to block the moonlight, silently caught him off guard, in the darkness he suddenly noticed that the breath of the lone star had disappeared, and the current heart was in a hurry but could not be traced due to the sky, and when the moon came out of the clouds again, there was no shadow of the lone star on the ground. [Ran^Text^Library] []

This made him panic, and when he thought of the consequences of letting that kid escape, he couldn't help but shiver subconsciously, and jumped down from the tree like lightning to wake up the two, and the three of them looked at each other in shock, and then chased towards the exit at the same time.

Fortunately, the city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and the courtyard wall is even taller and cannot be climbed, if you want to break through the layers of defense and climb out of the mansion, you have to flee to the gate, because only the courtyard wall there is the lowest in the mansion, so the three of them have concluded that he will flee there at this moment, and they dare not hesitate, and chase after them like the wind under their feet.

After the three of them ran away, Lone Star appeared from the place where he disappeared before, it turned out that he did not escape at all, but hid on the spot, the three of them were sure that he would not continue to stay here, but they ignored a truth, many times, the most dangerous is the safest, which is the so-called dark under the lamp.

But it was precisely because of this that Lone Star was able to successfully get rid of them, and he smiled slyly at the distant backs of the three of them, and then followed silently.

Besides, the three of them didn't dare to stop rushing to the gate all the way, but where was there still half a shadow of the lone star, and the soldiers who interrogated the patrol also shook their heads one by one and said that they didn't see it, which made the three of them angry and panicked at the same time, you must know that this person was personally named by the saint to bring back, and now he is gone under the noses of the three of them.

The more the three of them thought about it, the more frightened they became, and they didn't know whether to catch up or report to the commander for a while, and they were secretly embarrassed when they suddenly heard a noisy sound behind them, and unexpectedly, they found that a black shadow flashed from the wall.

"What people!"

The three of them were so keen, they shouted angrily almost at the same time, and at this time, Lao Qi seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said uncertainly: "Third brother, could it be that kid?"

The third child was stunned when he heard this, and reacted immediately: "Oh no, we were fooled, that kid never left the house at all, this time it's true, let's chase it!"

After speaking, he took the lead over the wall, and the fifth and third children couldn't be surprised, after all, their lives were at stake, so they couldn't be lazy, so they jumped down and chased after them.

They are chasing closely, Lone Star is also in a hurry to escape, he is almost running away with his own life, he doesn't dare to think about what kind of fate will happen if he is brought back by them, this feeling of not being able to control his own destiny makes him very uneasy, he firmly believes that as long as he escapes from the house, he will be free to swim in the sea and sky from now on, as for Chu Rou'er's side, he has left a letter on the table, I believe that after she reads it, she will definitely forgive herself for saying goodbye.

Glancing back at the City Lord's Mansion that was getting farther and farther away from him at night, Lone Star breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Hehe, it's so late, where are the night brothers going in such a hurry?"

"Is that you?"

Lone Star recognized who the person was, it was the leader of the forbidden army in the house, this person's surname was Ling, a single name and a cloud character, during his injury, he had visited him more than once, it is said that his cultivation is terrible, he has already broken through the Lingye period and reached the realm of stopping felling, seeing that he is coming, Lone Star's heart is cold.

"Hehe, it's Commander Duan, oh, I just can't sleep for a while, and I guess it's almost time to go back. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps back, and was about to change directions, when he suddenly saw another person slowly walking out of the darkness, and Lone Star's heart was suddenly cold.

"Tsk, little brother came out and left, it's really a long way to go, Brother Duan and I saw that you didn't return for a long time, I was really worried, and said that you were lost..."

The man who came out of the darkness said with a playful expression.

"It turned out to be the lord of the city, ahem, what a coincidence. ”

Touching his nose and laughing a few times, a trace of helplessness flashed in Lone Star's eyes, these two people are more difficult to deal with than the other, it seems that tonight is destined to be in vain, and at this time, the third child and the others also noticed the movement and chased here, completely cutting off his thoughts of escaping.

"You boy, you dare..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yun scolded the old five fiercely, and then suddenly turned his head and looked at Lone Star with a smile and said, "I've been walking for so long, I guess Brother Night must be tired, why don't we go back now?"

"Well, go back, I'm really sleepy. ”

Nodding very simply, Lone Star turned around and left, not feeling embarrassed at all, as if he was really just going out for a walk, and the other few people, except for the fifth man with a dissatisfied face and a low curse in his mouth, did not say anything anymore, but at this time, Ling Yun walked past them one by one and snorted coldly.

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

Lao Wu immediately closed his mouth, if he wanted to say that he respected and believed in the third brother, he was completely afraid of this commander, and when he heard the words, he had to hang his head and obediently follow, not daring to make another time.

Back in the house, Lone Star went straight back to his other courtyard, slammed the door shut, and finally didn't come out again.

And the three of them didn't stay here anymore, but were called over by Ling Yun and reprimanded them severely, but compared to losing their lives, this little punishment was too insignificant, and the three of them felt a lot better when they thought about it.

In this way, the house fell silent again, as if nothing had happened, except for the occasional sound of footsteps on patrols, which echoed unusually clearly in every corner of the house.

The footsteps continued until dawn, and Lone Star pushed open the door and stood on the roof, watching the morning sun rise step by step from the east and radiate a thousand rays of light, and there was an unknown trace of loneliness and loneliness in his eyes.
