Chapter 128: Calm Return and Hidden Dangers
The guards lying on their stomachs not far away, seeing that the dwarf assassin had taken away such a big war puppet before leaving, they were stunned for a while, and they got up one after another, staring blankly at the surrounding ruins, and couldn't say anything for a while, especially the sword king guard, frowned, came to the old bald man who was already dead and couldn't die anymore, looked at the stump and broken arm left by the old man, and sighed lightly.
The assassins in the deputy city lord's mansion were bad, and there was such a loud noise, which naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding residents, especially since this place is also located in the northern city, the place where the security of Linbo City is the best, and most of the residents here also have a lot of power, so there are naturally many masters in the family.
When the situation here happened not long after, it had already attracted the attention of many masters, but because this was the deputy city lord's mansion, it was inconvenient for them to enter, just standing on the roofs around and looking inward, the thousands of soldiers patrolling had also surrounded the mansion, crossbowmen, spearmen, and shield soldiers were also all in full array.
About a few minutes later, a fat middle-aged man came down under the escort of a group of soldiers, this was the deputy lord of Linbo City, the famous family leader in the local power, at this moment he looked at the dead old man with an ugly face, his fat hands clenched tightly, and his eyes constantly flashed with various incomprehensible colors.
It was only after a while that he turned around, calmly asking the captain of the guard about the situation at the time, as well as some information about the Assassins.
Naturally, the chief of the guard didn't dare to hide that he was the first to come at that time, and he was the only one who fought with the assassin, and it was also his responsibility not to leave the assassin, so he hurriedly reported in detail the development of what he had seen, the appearance of the assassin, the weapons used, and so on.
"The Assassin was short in stature, dressed in black, with a scarf, so his appearance was unknown, but the opponent was agile and not weak, holding a strange weapon that could shoot bright yellow rays, which was extremely powerful. The mutilated war puppet on the ground was destroyed by the other party with a weapon, and the most important thing is that the assassin has mastered a strange secret method, which can disappear from people's eyes in an instant, and the assassin at the end of the day used this secret method to escape, and the subordinates are really unable to catch it, please punish him!" After the chief of the guard finished speaking, he bowed down to the deputy city lord and pleaded guilty, and the guards around him also hurriedly bent down to plead guilty.
After listening to the report of the chief of the guard, the deputy city lord frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a look of understanding on his face, as if he had thought of something, but he did not say it.
With a light sigh, the deputy city lord stretched out his hand to help the saluting captain and guards up, and said, "This matter is indeed beyond your ability, and this city lord also knows that you have done your best, but because of your duties, you cannot go unpunished for dereliction of duty." In this way, everyone in the house is an old man, and it can be regarded as a high level of hard work, and the lord of this city will exempt you and others from three months' worth of silver, and be responsible for night patrols for three months, can you serve?"
"Lord Xie's kindness is not to blame! I will obey everything!" When the guards heard that they had only fined three months of silver and night patrols, the big stone in their hearts suddenly put down and said in unison.
"Well, now pass on my deputy city lord's order, the whole city is under martial law! Close the city gate, no one is allowed to open the door without my order, all the guards will search for the assassin with the city defense army, as long as they are captured, the city lord will be rewarded!" the middle-aged man said loudly to the guards and the surrounding soldiers.
......
Wu Yeyu naturally didn't go far at this time, not to mention that his teleportation distance was only a hundred meters at most, and there was still a cooldown time, so he couldn't just teleport back continuously, and when the incident happened, it had already attracted the attention of nearby masters, and it could be seen through the mission map that those people were still surrounding the deputy city lord's mansion at this moment, and there were many people. Although Wu Yeyu has a good body and has the backing of the innate realm, it is naturally impossible for Wu Yeyu to escape in front of everyone.
In fact, when Wu Yeyu came, he had already thought of a way out, and after receiving the war puppet, he teleported to a well near the courtyard. When the guards themselves saw Wu Yeyu disappear in front of them, they thought that he had already left at that time, and they didn't think to continue to check around, let alone find him.
Wu Yeyu was calmly wandering in the underground river at this time, while checking the mission map he carried with him, he swam towards Nancheng neatly. Coincidentally, the direction of this underground river also leads to the south of the city, the river is wide and the water is turbulent, and it is buried more than 100 meters underground. Wu Yeyu just wanted to take refuge in the well now, and when he was looking for an opportunity to slip away, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking that since there was well water, there must be an underground river below, on a whim, and then used the system to dig a tunnel.
According to Wu Yeyu's inference, this underground river should lead directly to the big lake not far from Qingshui Town, and flow through the swamp directly to the direction of the sea. There are a lot of fish swimming here, and Wu Yeyu even found a lot of fish bigger than himself on the way, but at this time, he was not interested in catching fish to eat, and he was rushing back with all his heart.
The fat and wide deputy city lord did not lead the army to search the city at this time, nor did he go back to his room to sleep, but came directly to the Linbo City prison under the escort of two cronies.
This city lord is naturally Liu Jingtang's father who came to Wu Yeyu to trouble Wu Yeyu in the slave market last time, but because of Lao Yu's appearance in the last incident, the city lord of Linbo City personally ordered Liu Shao and the seriously injured crazy old man to be imprisoned in the prison, and the deputy city lord was also hindered by the Wen family's tiger power, so he planned to sink the matter for a while, wait for the limelight to pass, and then fish out his own boy, and also planned to let Liu Jingtang take this opportunity to have a long memory and collect his temperament.
However, the deputy city lord came to the prison this time, not mainly to see his son, but to find the crazy old man of the sword king. Because of the last incident, Deputy City Lord Liu also personally interrogated the crazy old man, and vaguely remembered that the old man reported that the situation of fighting with the other party was somewhat similar to the methods used by the assassin this time, but because the matter involved the Wen family, Deputy City Lord Liu still needed to confirm it again, so as not to remember it wrong.
Wu Yeyu, who has learned the power of water to the intermediate level, is naturally much faster than before swimming in the water, and between the swings of his body, he rushed out of the wide river for a long distance, and the speed was faintly a few points faster than on the ground, and it was less than half an hour before and after, Wu Yeyu had already come to the place more than 100 meters underground in the Baifang Inn, which was really amazing.
Looking at the map, Wu Yeyu found the right direction, and a few minutes later, he jumped out of the wellhead of the small courtyard he rented, without bringing a drop of splash, and without making a sound, Wu Yeyu changed his night clothes as early as in the underground river, leaving only thin underwear, and by the way, he took a feil in the place where he was out, and then returned to the house and fell asleep with the quilt.
And Wu Yeyu thought that everything he did at night was secret, since he was not caught at the scene, then no one would think that he did it, after all, he was only a child, but he didn't know what to do, and his identity had been recognized at this time.
Not long after Wu Yeyu returned to the inn and fell asleep, Deputy City Lord Liu also walked out of the Linbo City prison with a gloomy face, his face was very ugly, his fat body kept gasping, and he didn't know if it was because of the rapid walking or some other reason, the expression on his face had been cloudy and uncertain, and the two cronies behind him kept following step by step, with a calm and slightly suspicious look on his face, obviously he didn't know why Lu Dao's own master was so angry.
While he was walking, Deputy City Lord Liu suddenly stopped, turned his head to a crony beside him and said, "You go, call those guards and searching soldiers back." Well, no, you don't have to come back, let them continue to search, but after dawn, the gates of Linbo City will be opened as usual, and those who enter and leave will not have to search. With that, he turned around and continued to walk towards his house.
