Chapter Eighty-Eight: Escape
Xuan Qi's upper body was already out of the window, but he heard the sound of breaking wind behind his head, and the momentum of his body rushing out was old, and it was too late to turn around and block it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the critical moment, the Xuanqi spear was a little on the ground, and he let go of the spear easily. The body was lifted slightly by the power of the spear, and with one hand it had already grabbed the rafters under the corridor, and the body was suddenly lifted upwards with the force. At this time, the iron spear smacked, and it happened to pass under Xuan Qi's feet, and the strong wind brought up made the soles of Xuan Qi's feet a little painful.
Xuan Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if the spear was a little upward, he would inevitably be injured under the spear.
The exclamations of the heroes in the hall did not fall, and Li Chengye had already chased them out. Xuan Qi didn't dare to linger for a moment, so he turned over on the roof and jumped to the side. There was a popping sound behind him, but it was the officers and soldiers gathered in the patio outside the hall who shot long arrows.
Xuan Qi jumped several times in a row, and he was already on the roof next to the hall, rushing all the way forward, but the long arrow behind him was out of range, and the officers and soldiers could only shout, but they couldn't catch up.
When Li Chengye jumped on the roof, Xuan Qi was already a little far away, and he wanted to chase after him, but he knew that although he had profound skills, his light body kung fu was not enough. At the moment, he was so angry that he scolded, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to chase after him.
Xuan Qi saw that there were no pursuers behind him, but he didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't dare to return to Cangzhou City, so he headed towards the east at the moment.
Soon after, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves behind him, and Li Chengye actually sent a large number of cavalry to chase down. Xuan Qi was also very depressed, for this treasure map, he had not only been hunted down and killed by the people in the rivers and lakes, but also had to beware of the court's encirclement and interception all the time. Looks like we'll have to find a chance to get the treasure map back.
Xuan Qiben also intended to hand over the treasure map directly to Li Chengye, but when he thought of being in the Chen Mansion, Li Chengye's arrival seemed to intentionally or unintentionally let go of Che Yunfei and Liu Shuyao, who were almost captured. And no matter whether Li Chengye is intentional or unintentional, it is always a little reassuring to hand it over to him directly. It seems that it is safer to find a time to go to the capital and hand it over to Li Hu, the prince of Zhenbei.
At this time, it was already dark, and the sound of horses' hooves was still continuous, and the officers and soldiers actually began to search cross-paths at night. Xuan Qi hid in the canopy of a big tree, looking at the flat river, unobstructed ahead, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that he is going to find another way to leave, Xuan Qi thought secretly.
A small group of cavalry passed under the tree, and Xuan Qi slipped down the tree, unleashed light skills, and followed closely behind. The cavalry was advancing and searching, but the speed was not fast, and Xuan Qi followed the horse in the night, but he was not discovered.
Seeing that he was about to pass through a small wood, Xuan Qi used his strength under his feet and rushed forward, already on the horse of the last man in the cavalry team. The cavalryman felt something strange behind him and wanted to turn his head, but he was knocked on the neck by Xuan Qi's hand knife, and he fainted.
Xuan Qi deliberately slowed down the horse, stopped the horse, and removed the cavalryman's armor by dividing it by two, and put it on himself. He lit the cavalryman's sleeping hole and hid it in the woods. He mounted his horse and chased forward. Soon they caught up with the small group of cavalry, but in the dark night, they were not discovered.
After that, Xuan Qi followed the cavalry team all the way to the east, but he didn't know how far he had run. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Xuan Qi knew that it would be much more difficult not to be discovered after dawn. He deliberately slowed down his horse, dismounted, and drove his horse southward, while he removed his armor and headed east along a small river. There are patches of reeds by the river, as a hiding place, but they are not afraid of being discovered by the officers and soldiers for a while.
At noon, the river had already entered the sea. Xuan Qi had never seen the sea, looking at the endless sea in front of him, Xuan Qi suddenly felt relaxed and happy, sighing at the magic of nature, and the hunger in his stomach was not so strong.
Xuan Qi was thinking about which direction to go, but there was a faint sound of horses' hooves coming from the south, but now he didn't have to think about it anymore, Xuan Qi didn't dare to slack off, and went all the way north along the protective forest by the sea. On the way, there were also several cavalry teams that encountered searching, but Xuan Qi managed to dodge them.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, Xuan Qi quickened his pace, trying to find a place where he could spend the night. After walking a short distance, I saw a wharf from a distance, where several cargo ships were loading, and a team of officers and soldiers happened to finish searching from the cargo ships and got off the cargo ships. Xuan Qi was thinking about waiting for the officers and soldiers to leave and get on the boat to find something to eat, but he saw that the group of officers and soldiers actually stayed directly on the dock, and arranged for the officers and soldiers to set up cards, which seemed to prevent Xuan Qi from escaping from the dock.
Xuan Qi's heart moved, and he secretly thought that this was a good opportunity. Seeing that it was already dark, Xuan Qi took advantage of the night to quietly bypass the checkpoint and go straight to a sea ship that seemed to be the largest. In the night, even if Xuan Qi floated under the noses of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers probably wouldn't be able to find out.
Xuan Qi got on the sea boat, but saw that the sea ship was very large, and it had three floors. The lower floor and the bottom compartment were filled with all kinds of goods, the second floor was the quarters and quarters of the crew, and the upper floor had an observation deck and a few other rooms, which were supposed to be the quarters of the ship's owners and stewards.
Xuan Qi performed the "Gecko Swimming Wall Skill" and climbed up from the warehouse wall. When I got to the second floor, I smelled the smell of food. Xuanqi, who hadn't eaten for more than a day, was attracted by the fragrance and crawled towards a window on the second floor.
Xuan Qi quietly poked his head out, but saw all kinds of meals on the wooden board at the window, and the three men were constantly busy, but it was just time for the meal, and the room was preparing dishes. Xuan Qi saw that the three men were busy, but they turned their backs to the window, reached out and grabbed a roast goose in their hands.
Xuan Qi climbed down the wall of the warehouse again, and in the window above, there was a sound of scolding, but the man found that the only big fat goose prepared for the steward was missing, and he was looking around. The voice of another man came, and he said that he might have been taken by a wild cat running from somewhere, and that it had not happened before, and the room gradually fell silent.
Xuan Qi touched his nose and thought that he was really a stealing wild cat, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny. At this time, he had already arrived on the deck of the first floor, Xuan Qi flashed into the warehouse on the first floor, found a corner and sat down, and bit the fat goose, and his mouth was full of fresh fragrance, and the hunger that he had not eaten for more than a day was swept away.
This night, Xuan Qi slept beautifully in the warehouse. The officers and men had already searched the ship, and they would not come back to search it again if they had nothing to do.
