Outside the back door of the inn was a dark alley, the dirt road was very narrow, the walls on both sides were high, and the large trees in the opposite courtyard were towering, and most of the branches and leaves were blocking the alley. Even the sun can't illuminate the alley.

Fortunately, from Yan Saburo's point of view, you can still see the scene in the alley:

Three guards are interrogating a man who is tall but unassuming.

"Where do you live?"

Yan Saburo immediately noticed the word "we", that is, men still have companions.

The man pointed to the high wall behind him with his backhand: "This household." ”

"Where are you going with your bags?" asked the guard again, "it's getting dark." ”

Behind this man, he was really carrying a burden and was in a hurry. "My mother is sick urgently, she lives in Andou Town, and we have to rush to see her. ”

"What's your last name?"

"Du. ”

"Is it even a child?" the guard was looking at him, "how old is your child?"

"Ten years old. ”

Child?Yan Saburo looked at the man's side, which was blocked by the shade of the tree, and it was so dark that he couldn't see it clearly from his angle.

The young man's voice was extremely low: "This person has kung fu. ”

He Xiaoyuan tilted his head sideways and motioned for him to continue.

His right hand hangs down, his fingertips close to the seam of his trousers, a posture that he is accustomed to striking from his sleeve. "He practiced the art of tiger pounce, and one of them was like this.

He Xiaoyuan looked down and found that it was indeed the case. The man's hands were tense, but there was no expression on his face: "Master Bing, is there anything wrong?"

"Questions?" snorted the guard, "I see your whole family has problems. Can a countryman like you marry a wife like a fairy? And your son, tsk, come with me to the office!"

The man raised his eyes: "In the department?"

"If you are innocent, I will let you go out when you turn back. The guard tilted his head, "Let's go, what are you still rubbing!" and turned to his companion, "You go find the kid who reported at the inn." ”

The man lowered his head, said yes again and again, and walked forward.

The two guards also turned around with him.

But as he staggered by, a cold light suddenly flashed in the man's sleeve, quickly wiping the throat of a guard!

The man glucked twice, blood gushed from his throat, and he died when he fell to the ground.

The man's hand was ruthless, and this time he directly cut his trachea and arteries, and wanted to be killed on the spot.

The other guard was startled, but before he could open his mouth to call, the man had already turned and crashed into his arms.

The tip of the knife immediately pierced through the back of his heart, and the blade was stained with blood, but there was not a single splash on the wall.

He Xiaoyuan looked at it attentively and said in a low voice: "This person has neat hands and feet, and he is very capable. The guards in the palace are nothing more than that. ”

There was only one guard left, and he was forced into a corner by him, shouting and raising his weapon to block, but his demeanor was already timid, and he obviously wanted to turn around and run. However, this man was really fierce, and he chopped off half of his neck with three strikes and five divisions.

Blood was splashed on the placket of the man's clothes, and he didn't care, and beckoned behind him: "Come, follow up!"

Two figures walked out of the shade of the trees and followed him. They had been standing in the shadows of the trees before, and Yan Saburo had not seen their faces clearly until this time.

It's actually a young woman with a child.

The woman was at a prime age, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and covered her head with a cloth scarf, but her skin was like condensed fat, and her apricot eyes were powdered, and the fear on her face did not diminish her beauty by half a point.

Yan Saburo stared at her two more times, and there was a little pressure on his shoulders. The cat came out of the bookcase, and the big horn stepped on his shoulder and looked down: "Yo, there is a beautiful woman hidden in the place where the bird does not lay eggs! Well, that little ghost is about the same age as you." ”

The young woman was also accompanied by a young man, who was about the same age as Yan Saburo, with beautiful eyebrows and slightly raised eyes. The woman hurried forward, not forgetting to grasp his hand.

The young man was also looking left and right, full of panic.

Is it a family of three? Yan Saburo's eyes flashed slightly, and He Xiaoyuan had already whispered: "It's not like a family." ”

只从外表看，那男人面貌太普通，敛眉垂目的时候就像个老实巴交的乡下汉子，谁能料到他杀人如杀鸡，半点不手软？

Yan Saburo also responded: "But that pair is like a mother and son." ”

There is a natural bond between mother and child, which can be recognized at a glance.

All three of them were carrying their bags and came out of the back door, apparently preparing to take advantage of the fire in the north and the attention of the officers and men to go on the road.

Three hundred zhang out into the outskirts of the town, you can reach it in a blink of an eye. This is also the intention of Yan Saburo to choose this edge inn.

He Xiaoyuan said quietly: "The burden of these three people has already been laid, how long has it been since the fire?"

Within a quarter of an hour of the fire, the three men were out of the house, and their bags were neatly packed, not even on the boy's back. Yan Saburo and He Xiaoyuan both have experience in long-distance migration, and they know that packing up before going out is a troublesome job, and they can't pick up everything in half a day.

Obviously, these people have already packed their bags and are waiting for the opportunity to go out.

The meaning of He Xiaokite's words, Yan Saburo has already known:

The timing of the fire was too coincidental.

He nodded: "It seems that they still have accomplices." "Only then can we help them divert the attention of officers and soldiers.

But then again, these guys were a little bit unlucky. If it weren't for the guards who were searching for Yan Saburo just in time to arrive and block the three suspicious characters, they would still be very likely to sneak out of Hexiang Town.

The man strode forward to open the way, and it was really difficult for the mother and son to keep up with him. But the two understood that it was a matter of life and death, and they didn't dare to complain.

As the sun sets, the horizon blocks the last bit of afterglow.

"Let's go, follow and see. Chitose's voice sounded in Yan Saburo's ears, and he knew that she was curious again. These two big and one small must have their own little secrets, otherwise why would they abscond out of the city at night?

The most important thing is that the officers and soldiers have already arrived, and Yan Saburo himself is also a suspicious person, so he can't stay in the town anymore.

"Good. He immediately unleashed a treacherous nest spider. The little spider tugged at a thin, invisible thread and swayed to descend to the back door of the inn. As a result, a gust of night wind blew at this time, scraping the light-as-nothing spider directly into the high wall opposite.

"......" missed.

"Hurry up. He Xiaoyuan urged him, "The officers and soldiers are about to catch up." ”

That's it, I'll recycle it when I have time. Yan Saburo shrugged his shoulders and tracked his target.

The screams of the guards before they died alarmed the nearby residents. However, most of the officers and soldiers were led to the north by the sudden fire, and there were not enough people left behind here. The man surnamed Du was obviously a local expert, and he took the mother and son around and around, took shortcuts, and evaded tracking, and approached the outskirts of the town in a short time.
