Chapter 21: The Pursuit

"Captain, everyone...... All the adults stopped them, a total of seventeen people, and there was no bloody demon among them!"

Although the impact of the officials caused chaos and the people in the rivers and lakes were also in a mess, the officers and soldiers gathered outside the Feisheng Platform were large after all, and after a short period of panic, they still brought back a few frightened fish that had slipped through the net.

"No, how could it be, is it ......" Lu Tong was shocked, and soon his face changed, "What about the county guard, have you ever seen the county guard master among the seventeen people?"

"County guard, county guard ......" Seeing Lu Tong asking, the returning soldiers dodged their eyes and didn't dare to reply.

"Tell me quickly!" Lutong hurriedly grabbed him by the collar.

According to the adults who ran out, the blood-faced demon cut off the county keeper as soon as he entered the council hall, and even his head fell off!" replied with a sad face.

"Dead, dead?!" Lu Tong's face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and he almost fainted when he felt Venus in his eyes.

"My lord, my lord, look at it!" The soldiers next to him hurriedly supported the swaying Lutong, and suddenly his pupils shrank, pointing to the flying platform in front of him and shouting.

Lu Tong bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, sobered up with the severe pain, followed the line of sight of his own soldiers, and turned his head to look at the tower.

I saw that the nine-story flying platform, starting from the top floor, lit up layer by layer. On the top floors, flames were already spitting out of the windows, licking the tower's façade. Although the light of the fires on the lower floors was still a little dim, it was also rapidly blazing, and it was seen that it would soon be engulfed by the flames.

"The family members in the building......" Lu Tong's pupils dilated instantly, his face turned dead, and his body fell into the arms of his own soldiers.

"Come out, come out, my lord, my lord, they rushed out of it!" The soldier beside him was obviously more awake than him, and he grabbed Lu Tong's official clothes and shook vigorously.

"Come out, just come out......" Lu Tong grabbed the last life-saving straw like a drowning man, exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath in his lungs, struggled a few times, but failed to stand up, looked down, and found that his twin strands trembled, and his lower body was paralyzed.

At this time, I saw that the door of the Feisheng Tower was wide open, and hundreds of people rushed out from inside. Because of the limited width of the tower gate, many women, children, old and young were squeezed to the ground, and the cries for help and cries were deafening.

In fact, when Bai Ya was in the council hall, he had no intention of escaping among the officials.

The number of officials was limited, and at most the soldiers outside the building threw rat traps and did not dare to shoot bows and crossbows indiscriminately. But there are many soldiers, and he doesn't have the same force as Wang Peng, so he naturally can't rush hard.

Bai Ya wore a dead man's official uniform in front of all the officials, just to leave them with an illusion. In fact, when the officials ran out of the tower gate, he went the opposite way and went upstairs again.

He did not go downstairs immediately with the officials, but went up to the top of the platform first, because when he came out of the inn, he looted a large number of fire-starting things and put them in mustard seed bags. Because the idle people along the way, etc., are now hiding in the room, and his ignition arrangement is very smooth, and no one stops him at all.

He wanted to set fire to the building from top to bottom, and then drive the family members in the building to attack the defense line of the officers and soldiers for the second time, creating a chance for himself to escape.

When setting fires on each floor, he would blend in with the crowd and break the women's hair in a bun. When everyone ran down to the bottom, almost half of them had long hair to cover their faces, and there was not much difference from him.

Most of the officials who hid in the Ascension Terrace had families, and with the domestic slaves and maidservants who served them, nearly 200 people lived in the nine-story tower. Most of these people are female dependents, and there are also a few male servants.

At this time, most of the people were disheveled, and they were unkempt with smoke and fire, and they were panicked.

When these people ran out, they only thought about staying away from the fire, and did not gather in front of the tower gate. In addition, the soldiers outside the Ascension Platform had just stopped intercepting the officials, and they had long since formed a formation, and suddenly the entire courtyard became a plate of scattered sand.

Now even those gangs of people in the rivers and lakes are not fighting, first, they are powerless and have no way to stop so many people. Second, so many women and children rushed into the courtyard, leaving too little room for fighting, so they had to stop and stop fighting.

However, although these people did not fight, they were not at a loss like the officers and soldiers, but concentrated on them and carefully inspected the families of the officials who had escaped.

The Green Forest Master wanted to catch the Assassin for a bounty, while the Ranger Righteous Man wanted to see which daring colleague had done this great thing.

And there were also four people standing on the high wall outside the courtyard at this time, and the four of them were in the corner, looking at the blazing flying platform with different expressions, it was Wang Peng and others who had fought in the distance before.

When the Ascension Terrace caught fire, they each stopped. Because there is no need to fight any longer, the ascension platform is burned like this, and everything that should happen has happened.

"Stop them, the Blood-Faced Demon must be in their midst. Lu Tong saw that most of the family members who rushed out were disheveled, and he couldn't see the description clearly, and his heart suddenly brightened.

"Captain, I can't stop it!" the soldier beside him smiled helplessly and pointed behind him.

Lu Tong turned his head to look and saw that the soldiers were still scattered around those officials, and there was no formation at all, so where could they be organized.

"It's over!" Lu Tong only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was cold.

The ascension platform in front of him had now turned into a large torch, and the flames and smoke rose into the sky, illuminating the night sky red.

"She's there!" Suddenly, a green forest master jumped to his feet and shouted excitedly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Following the man's fingers, everyone saw a maid in an emerald green skirt, carrying the hem of the skirt, sneaking up the high wall. Seeing the eyes of hundreds of people looking at each other, the maid couldn't help but shake her hands, and fell to the other side of the courtyard wall.

As if there was a pause before the climax, the courtyard where the ascension platform was located was instantly quiet, and then there was a louder noise than before.

A group of people from the rivers and lakes got entangled together again, and they became a pot of porridge again. And the four people who were originally standing on the courtyard wall also jumped up at the same time, like Mars hitting the earth, colliding violently in the air.

At night, the courtyard is like a rock band playing, full of passion and sparks!

"Your sister, these people have really poisonous eyes, my brother is pretending to be a woman, and he can still be pointed out!" Bai Ya gritted his teeth and tore off the high-waisted skirt on his body, patted his ass and ran wildly into the distance.

Bai Ya's body is not an adult, and it is more suitable to pretend to be a maid than a manservant, so he has to sacrifice it for the sake of confusion.

"Woman, you may leave a name!"

As soon as Bai Ya ran a few steps, a loud cry that made him collapse came from a distance behind him.

Bai Ya felt that no matter how pure the masters were, they should justify this misunderstanding, and after a turn of thought, he suddenly had an idea.

Ruan Yu was very excited at this time, his face was shining, and the shout just now was what he shouted. Shao Darttou felt that tonight was really in vain, although he failed to kill a few dog officials, but it was worth seeing this exciting drama.

Ruan Yu was just enthusiastic when he shouted, but he didn't expect a response from behind the courtyard wall.

"Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend!" A voice came faintly, making the young dart head feel awkward when he heard it.

The bloody knife man and the ugly fairy girl who were fighting fiercely in the courtyard stumbled at the same time, although Wang Peng's face was covered with a black cloth, Zhang Mei knew that the opponent in front of him was the real knife washer. Because of the constraints of the Xianfan Oath, these two people actually didn't have the heart to expose each other, and they each pretended to be confused.

"Is it the young man next to you that day?" Zhang Mei was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect that looking at the inconspicuous little ghost, she would do such a big thing.

"This kid...... Killing people and setting fires is so sloppy, I should have thought that it was him!" Wang Peng's eyes were a little complicated, but when he saw Zhang Mei stunned there, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think he can escape?" Seeing the strange eyes of the Blood Knife Guest, Zhang Mei couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed, and said coldly, "Could it be that you forgot that the concubine has a junior sister in this city!"

......

Although the masters were all tripped up, Bai Ya didn't feel that he was safe. He ran wildly along the way he came, successfully reached the county hall, and dived into the underground ditch again.

It's just that he didn't see a small black dot in the sky above his head, which was circling around his position.

"Little brother, is it you?" When he saw Bai Ya's hair scattered and his face covered with blood, even Xiao Zhao, who was used to seeing dead people, turned pale with fright.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh wound!" Bai Ya's face had been smeared with medicine to stop the bleeding, but the skin was open and fleshy, and it looked a little terrifying.

Bai Ya was not a handsome guy in his previous life, he looked at his appearance very lightly, and he was a facial paralysis in this life, so he didn't care about a few more scars. Moreover, in the previous life, Chinese medicine was very developed from ancient times to the present, and the history of this world is thousands of years older than the previous life, so it is unlikely to be very bad.

It's a big deal to find a miracle doctor for plastic surgery in the future, and I don't want to become Guanxi Yanzu, as long as I can remove the scar, I can go out to meet people.

"Let's go, hurry out of the city, save the night and dream. Bai Ya picked up Xiao Nan and let her hold a fire fold and run away along the channel.

Shortly after he left, footsteps could be heard on the other side of the channel. A woman in yellow covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and her face was ugly observing the traces left by the white cliff.

"Damn, I hid in a place like this, and even Sakura couldn't continue to track it. The woman in yellow frowned and said to herself irritably, "When this girl catches you, she must first whip thirty lashes to vent her anger!"

This woman in yellow is the ugly fairy Gu Zhang Mei's junior sister Zhen Marriage, she is not in the county mansion tonight. She didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, so she just came to see her this time, and Zhang Mei was afraid that she would lose, so she didn't let her enter the mansion.

Zhen Marriage is from a big family, with a wild pet bird by her side, just received Zhang Meifei's letter, so she happily chased after the traces left by the white cliff, and left Zhang Mei's warning not to act rashly.
