Chapter 444: Heading to the Convergence
Ye Sheng had seen those green bricks before, but he didn't have time to think about it, and he entered the narrow passage with Xiao Zinuan, who was barely standing, and Ye Sheng himself retreated into it, and quickly stacked the green bricks on the opening.
In this way, if those pursuers didn't jump down and check for themselves, or if they knew that there was a secret passage here, they wouldn't have found it.
The little eunuch hurriedly led the way in front, Lin Jianxiao followed behind with a torch to guard against him, and Ye Sheng walked forward with Xiao Zinuan, and from time to time he had to pay attention to whether there was anyone coming in behind him.
All the way to the end of the secret passage, the little eunuch pushed open the stone slab above his head with the help of the sword owl, and a ray of moonlight poured in.
He hurriedly stepped on the protruding stones and climbed out, and the sword owl waited for a while before following him, holding the ground outside with both hands, and propping himself up.
After standing on the flat and wide ground, Lin Jianxiao looked around vigilantly, this is an alley, and there seem to be only some low houses around, it is dark at this time, there is no one walking in the alley, and all the surrounding houses are lights out.
However, things in the palace are a bit big, and it is estimated that it will not be quiet for long.
Ye Sheng pushed Xiao Zinuan out, climbed up again, and was about to ask Xiao Zinuan if there was a way to contact the Xiao family, but she consciously took out the rune paper again: "I'll contact the person who answered." ”
The rune paper was probably her means of contacting the Xiao people, but Ye Sheng and Lin Jianxiao didn't know what they were contacting at all, and Xiao Zinuan didn't say anything between them.
"What's the matter, you're not taking the planned route?" Xiao Zinuan, who received the feedback over there, looked at them in surprise, and then looked at the little eunuch, who seemed to know him, "How did you get involved?" ”
"We feel it's safer to take this route that we know by accident." Ye Sheng replied to her like this, "You were indeed brought out by us intact, and the route was provided by him." ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the eunuch.
"When did you guys become so reckless? But really, the results are good. Xiao Zi smiled warmly, she was still weak, she could only rely on Ye Sheng's support, and she was still holding on to the wall to barely stand.
"I've told them to come and pick us up." She said, then looked back at the palace, which she couldn't see at all, and let out a long sigh, "I'm finally out." ”
Of course, they won't wait here, and if the secret passage is discovered, they are waiting for someone to catch up at the secret passage.
Ye Sheng entered the stealth to explore the way, the little eunuch prayed, and was allowed to follow them, this guy has a bit of martial arts foundation, he was sent into the palace by the enemy to become a eunuch, the force value is not high, but the speed is not slow, and it will not drag them back.
So the little eunuch supported Xiao Zinuan, Lin Jianxiao was behind them, and indicated the direction of the way, after all, they didn't know where Ye Sheng was, but Lin Jianxiao could communicate in the team channel.
They didn't talk much after that, and even if they did, they kept their voices as low as they could, and walked down the alley as well as they could.
At this time, a bell suddenly rang, very dull but unexpectedly spread far away, and someone seemed to wake up in the house next door.
"Xiao Zinuan said that it means martial law in the whole city, and it is the highest degree." Lin Jianxiao didn't understand what this bell meant, although he didn't dare to ask, but the little eunuch didn't know either, and when he asked, he also heard it.
The big bell in the palace will not ring easily, the last time was more than thirty years ago, Xiao Zinuan also laughed at himself, he didn't expect his salary to be so high.
However, Ye Sheng thought of the group of people who set fire to the palace, and it was estimated that it was not just because Xiao Zi was warm.
At this time, Lin Jianxiao actually wanted to ask what their identity and name were in this plot, but they didn't know how to ask.
Although it's just a mission plot, the war world has always been as high as a real person, and when that kind of suspicious question is asked, I really don't know if there will be any surprises for the mission.
discussed with Ye Sheng in the team channel, Ye Sheng said that he would check it out after he went out, and there should be a record of such major events about Xiao Zinuan's specific life.
The Assassin Temple couldn't find out, so she asked Twilight to go to the Wise Man's Temple to check, and Twilight Annihilation did a lot of tasks for Zhuang Jingxuan, and she didn't brush her face in the Wise Temple, and now her status is not low.
What they should think about now is that martial law in the whole city is going to search them, how can they ensure Xiao Zinuan's safety, there is still some distance from the meeting place that Xiao Zinuan said.
However, the number of troops that need to be mobilized to search the whole city is not comparable to that in the palace, it will take time, and this period of time is their opportunity.
But they also need to guard against other dangers, after all, the enemies they face seem to be not only the royal family and the army of Jingyun, for the person who set the fire, Xiao Zinuan does not know them, does not know who they are, what the purpose is, want her to die, or do she want to live.
Ye Sheng, who was in a stealth state, saw two figures jumping quickly on the roof not far away, to be honest, walking on the roof is quite eye-catching, the moonlight tonight is actually quite bright, that is, these people are so fearless in the middle of the night?
The outfits of those two people were the same as the group of people they had encountered before, and it didn't seem that they would be their own people, Ye Sheng immediately asked Lin Jianxiao and them to change their route, avoiding their sight so as not to be seen.
But soon she saw several sharp arrows reflecting the cold moonlight shooting at them, which was the price of swagger, and they walked quietly in the alley.
The window of the private house on the side suddenly opened, and the sword owl suddenly turned his head to look over, and before the middle-aged man who poked his head out screamed in surprise, he covered his mouth and gave him a sword hilt on the back of his head.
After confirming that the furnishings in the room were that he lived alone and that there was no one else, he pushed him back from the coma and closed the window.
It's good to sleep well at night, and what kind of windows are opened.
Fortunately, it was me who bumped into it, and if it was sharp, I should have cut my throat with a clean blow, right?
Ye Sheng also met someone over there, it seems that it should be the military or some similar inspection agency, looking at one of them is still a little sleepy-eyed, she said she was a little sorry, disturbed them to sleep, and then the Eight Desolation Ghost Kill was released behind them, and directly killed the two of them.
These two blood volumes are a little low, she was originally going to stab a dagger in the back, but she was killed in seconds, didn't she explain their strength clearly when she conveyed the news, how did the two of them have the courage to come out?
The blood shed by the Eight Desolate Ghosts is relatively small, but there are still some of them, and the roads in the alleys of this imperial city are also made of stones, and she can't find anything to hide the bloody breath.
I knew that these two people were so weak, she could consider knocking them out.
Because he had just entered the stealth not long ago, the current Ye Sheng could not enter the stealth state for the time being, so he simply investigated the road ahead and the fork in the road, retreated and joined the Lin Sword Owl, and chose to take the fork in the road.
"There is already a small team searching for us in the city, and the large army is estimated to be not far away, so we have to hurry." She said.
Suddenly, I felt a slight movement in the house next door, and the sound of the bell just now probably woke up most of the residents in Cloud City.
Ye Sheng quietly listened to the movement inside, her ability has not changed, her sensitive hearing captured the small words inside, although she couldn't hear it clearly, but she heard a little fear, combined with the movement just now, she decisively went around and then turned in and knocked the two of them unconscious.
She was fast enough to give them a chance to scream.
