Chapter 20: Round-up and Hunt in the Night
The last rays of sunlight on the horizon completely dissipated.
As night fell, the birds flapped their wings and scattered in panic, as if they felt the scorching heat in the air spread rapidly through the capital like an invisible flame.
'Boom-'
The dark shadow quickly swept by, shuttling through the streets and alleys, even above the eaves.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
No one could tell who the almost ubiquitous man in black was obeying his orders, or if more than one force had already been involved here.
"All eyes are polished, that kid must be nearby!"
"Your Highness wants to live! Anyone who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead dares to offend the royal family, and whoever catches the target will not only be rewarded by His Royal Highness, but also by the Holy Lord! The man in black shouted excitedly, and the men in black under him were silent but showed a trace of excitement.
Now is a good time to add officials to the glory and wealth!
With an order, the crowd dispersed and disappeared into the night, and a hunting ground quietly arrived.
No one noticed.
On the tree not far away, Ye Junyi, who perfectly hid himself with the help of concealment, changed into a night walking costume, had a cold and deep gaze.
At such a close distance, several people passed by here just now, but none of them noticed that there was a big living person here, but he could easily see and grasp the direction of these people when they dispersed.
"Do you think this kid is looking for death? Even the three highnesses dare to offend, you must know that now your highness is the most valued prince on the emperor's side, and if you offend your highness, you still want to live?! After scattering the subordinates below, all the elites under the three princes were left, and at this time, several people were whispering something while walking here.
Ye Junyi's movements paused slightly, and after thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but not leave.
In the blink of an eye, several people had approached.
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know if he has a way to live, if he doesn't find anything tonight and lets others take the lead, then our way of life will be gone......," one of the men in black sighed.
Another person answered: "That kid has provoked a lot of people, just now I heard someone shouting that he saw him in the west of the city, and when he arrived, he didn't even see a ghost except for a few corpses!" β
The other two men in black came to their senses, and the three of them glanced at each other.
"Chengxi? That's the way, we outflanked it, he definitely didn't run far!! β
and others went away.
Ye Junyi's face was thoughtful: "Chengxi? Did you go over there...... No wonder, just say how you can't find anyone. β
Finally finding some useful news, Ye Junyi raised his eyes and looked into the dim street behind him, and his figure flashed and disappeared in place.
There are waves all over the capital, some come to join in the excitement and try to fish in troubled waters, some deliberately ambush and wait for the prey to take the bait, and some outsiders are red-eyed, but there are not enough people in hand so they temporarily cooperate.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on a figure in the night, but no matter how much they investigated, all information about their target seemed to be erased by an invisible hand.
Meanwhile.
'Bang'
'Bang'...
Two heavy objects fell and smashed to the ground at the same time, and the dust was also stirred up and flew up a lot.
The dark liquid meanders under his feet, and the lingering smell of blood in the air stimulates his sense of smell all the time, but it is invisibly clear to the brain.
The fiery red figure staggered on the ground, and after a while, it rubbed on the shoulder of the indifferent girl next to him.
"Xiaohuo, well done." Bai Shiying lazily narrowed her eyes slightly, without hesitation in praise, and when she glanced at the corpse at her feet, her face did not change at all, as if it was not a person lying there but two pieces of wood.
After leaving the Fengxing Auction House, she was in no hurry to go home.
The rats hiding in the shadows are still waiting for an opportunity to move, if she goes back to the Bai family's shadow guard at this time, she will naturally not be a vegetarian, but after all, she will bring the trouble back.
The long night, Bai Shiying didn't remember how many people she killed tonight, the speed of the small fire was extremely fast, and the little claws were extremely sharp, and she could kill the opponent with one blow just by surprise! With the cooperation of one person and one fox, the enemies encountered are often discouraged before they have time to react.
Since these people want to play, then she will accompany them to have fun......
Looking up at the moonlight overhead, Bai Shiying planned to change her position, the movement she created here was enough to attract many people to come, and the purpose of the wandering tactic was to make people unpredictable and break through the direction one by one.
Suddenlyβ
"This way! There's a movement coming from here just now! β
Shouts came from behind.
Some people even shouted: "Catch that guy, the Third Highness will reward you!" β
