Chapter 35: The Village
The two guards glanced at each other and chose to open the guest rooms one by one.
Because there was no key, he decisively broke the door lock and entered the door, and searched several rooms in a row, only one guest room had the window wide open, and the soft curtain fluttered in the wind, and the two looked out, but found nothing suspicious.
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were lying quietly in the flower field, but the night sky was dark and unclear, with no moon or stars.
The night breeze blows, with a shallow floral fragrance, but a hint of rotten taste.
Zhou Tang's nose twitched, and after a long while, he sat up and said softly, "There are some things buried under here!" ”
Cheng Mu nodded in disgust, "Let's get out of here first!" ”
"Hmm, I don't know what happened to Adel Alice?"
"If they had moved faster, they would have been out of the castle by now."
The two of them ran out softly and quickly.
Blanton was woken up by the noise, and after dinner, his aunt invited him to a drink and a heart-to-heart conversation, and comforted him about Alice, and for a moment he drank too much and was sent back to his room for a light sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, there was still an ink outside the window.
He pressed his head and sat up with his hands propped up, then slowly opened the door to the room, walked a few steps down the hallway, grabbed a maid and asked, "What's going on?!" Noisy. ”
When the maid saw that it was the hostess's recent favorite Blanton, she replied, "Sir, Madame, something has happened!" Someone attacked Madame, Madame was injured. ”
Blanton's head cleared suddenly, "Hmm, did you catch it?!" Where is my aunt now? Is she okay? ”
The maid replied, "Madame has been placed back in her bedroom. Doctors are treating you. ”
Blanton immediately strode towards his wife's bedroom.
At this time, the housekeeper frowned slightly and Nansi said, "When Yuna woke up, it was said that those girls had untied the ropes at some point and suddenly attacked Madame on the stage!" ”
Nance held the broken rope in his hand and asked, "This rope was cut by a sharp weapon, where did this sharp weapon come from?" ”
It's a bit far-fetched to say that it is a sharp weapon, the broken part of this rope has been rubbed repeatedly, obviously the tool is not sharp and easy to use, maybe it is a sharp stone...
At this time, the guards brought by Nance also checked the bodies of the others and identified the injuries, "Captain, the person who shot is very sophisticated, sharp-witted, and a critical hit, he is a veteran. ”
Of the four people who escaped, there was one who was so skilled...
Nance directly ruled out, "Adel doesn't have such athletic skills, and neither does Miss Alice. Only the other two—" he turned around, "butler, do you check where the other two are from?" ”
Yuna was helped over, and she grabbed Nance's arm, "Nance, you must catch those two and break them into pieces!" Especially the one with long legs! It was she who hurt Madame. ”
Yuna's head seemed to have fallen, and at this point she was in a state of confusion, and her words were incoherent, "They did it on purpose, I don't want to pick them!" It was they who provoked me, and they must know each other. No, no, all four of them knew each other well and came prepared. ”
Nance's brows furrowed, "The girls we chose outside don't know each other, and they live far away. Yuna, what did you say in front of the girls?! Cause them to be vigilant and rebel? ”
Yuna shook her head, dizzy, "No, they don't know! Only at the last minute did they know what awaited them. ”
Nance gave the butler a look and asked Yuna to take her down to rest and wait until she was sober tomorrow before questioning.
Eventually, in the wounded guard's reply, he sorted out the general situation of the incident, just as he had left the guard to probe the corridor to return to report.
"Oops! Let them escape! Let people search in that direction. Nance knew at once what he was missing, but he didn't take the escapees seriously.
Blanton was stopped in front of his wife's bedroom, "How's my aunt?!" Did the thief catch it? How could a thief sneak in? ”
A series of questions were thrown at the guard's maid Marpel, who knew a little bit of details, but Mapel said directly, "Isn't it your good sister and..."
Fortunately, the housekeeper arrived here in time to take Marpel's words, and her eyes were sharp and made her panic retreat, "Mr. Blanton, please go back to the guest room to rest first, Madame's condition is not good now, and the doctor is still treating Madame inside." If Madame wakes up, I will tell her about your visit to her. ”
Blanton grabbed the flaw in the maid's mouth, not wanting to be easily fooled, "No! The maid just said that my sister had infiltrated the castle and hurt my aunt? Could it be Adele's revenge? ”
"Sir, you misheard! Marpel meant that because Madame had sent someone out to search for Miss Alice, the castle guards were empty, and the thieves had an opportunity. ”
The steward's righteous and stern words were justified and well-founded, so that Blanton had to be temporarily convinced.
Then the guards of the castle arrived, and Blanton retreated to his room.
Nance came out of the shadows, "This is Madame's new male favorite?" ”
The butler replied in a low voice, "It's Madame's nephew." ”
Nance scoffed, "He's fit to be a canary in Madame's hands." ”
Then the housekeeper opened the door of his wife's bedroom for him, and he walked in.
On that large soft and comfortable bed, on which the beautiful woman lay with a pale face, Nance did not think that Madame was as fragile as porcelain, "How is Madame?" Doctor. ”
The old doctor shook his head honestly and said, "The situation is not very good, Madame has multiple falls on her body, and there are also bruises on her head, of course, the most important thing is a knife wound on her chest. ”
The short knife in Madame's chest had been removed by the doctor.
"I've done my best, and the Duchess will do the rest."
Nance nodded to the butler, who sent the doctor out to settle her, just in case Mrs. Night's injuries were unusual.
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were fast and light, and after a while, they caught up with Adel and Alice in the woods outside the castle.
Adel gasped and looked back, and when he saw that it was Cheng Mu's lovely face, he immediately grinned, "You're finally here!" I thought you guys..."
Zhou Tang said softly, "I didn't expect you to be lucky enough to escape from the castle, but now is not the time to be happy and relaxed, there is still a difficult hurdle waiting for us, the guards in the castle will soon catch up with us, and people's feet can't reach the limbs of horses." ”
Adel instantly felt a heavy breath pressing on his heart, Alice clenched his arms uneasily, and Adel whispered, "Alice! Alice! You're holding me, let go a little and let me catch my breath. ”
Alice was startled and suddenly let go of her hand, but fortunately, Zhou Tang behind her supported Alice's back, otherwise she would have fallen.
Cheng Mu comforted, "Our plan has been completed for the most part, Alice, do you remember where the villages around the castle are?" Just point in the right direction. ”
