Chapter 73, Chapter 74
The mansion of the Kale family is located in the northeast corner of the city of Zivadin. Although this noble family has declined, the huge mansion left by previous generations seems to tell the story of the family's past glory.
And in this huge mansion, there are two dark figures sneaking through the darkness beside each building.
"Hey! Brother Xie Feng, wait for me!" a figure from behind whispered.
The figure in front suddenly paused and said in a low voice: "Can you hurry up? It's hard to wait until the time for the guard to change shift. If it's later, it will be difficult for the guard to move."
The figure at the back also lowered his body, only to hear a slight gasping sound in the darkness, and then said: "How can I match your physical strength... Besides, we are searching aimlessly like this, this place is so big,
There are so many buildings, how long will it take to find them?”
The figure in front frowned in the darkness and said, "That's right, let's grab someone and ask." After saying that, he walked forward again.
"Hey!" The figure at the back shouted hurriedly and softly from behind, and quickly grabbed the figure in front and said, "Aren't you afraid of alarming the people in the house? Besides, what if the person caught refuses to tell, or maybe
If you don’t know, or maybe it’s a fake place, what should you do?” The figure in the front thought it made sense, so he asked: “Do you have any good ideas?” The figure in the rear spread out his hands helplessly and said, “No.
." The figure in front said: "Why don't we just break into a luxuriously decorated room, capture someone as a hostage, and force them to hand over Yi An? The person who lives in the good room must have a high status in the family. Let's change it to another one.
People who have nothing to do with me, I think they will agree." The figure from behind said quickly: "But Brother Xie Feng, the person we want to save is a lame and has difficulty moving. As long as the escape time lasts, they will have enough
It’s time to arrange the pursuers... Besides, if we alert the security guards and even the army in the city, we will be unable to fly." The figure in front frowned again in the darkness and said: "Then do you have any good ideas?
"The figure at the rear spread out his hands helplessly again and said: "No." In the darkness, the figure at the rear was severely shaken by the figure in front, and said bitterly: "Then why don't you hurry up and get old with me?
Are you looking for me honestly?" The figure behind touched his head, which was hurt by the bullet, and had no choice but to follow.
Just after walking a few steps, the figure behind suddenly bumped into the figure in front. The figure behind touched the painful nose and said: "Why did you stop suddenly?" The figure in front asked: "Such a nobleman
A mansion, not a castle, generally doesn't have a dedicated prison, right?" The figure in the back said: "Not bad." The figure in the front said: "Then if you want to imprison a person who is not very capable of resisting and escaping, where will you usually choose?
?" The figure behind said: "Woodshed, utility room and the like." Another shock hit the figure in front, and the figure in the front said in disbelief: "Then why don't we separate quickly and look for it?"
So the two of them split up and searched for the suspicious house.
Soon, Xie Feng found a firewood shed near the kitchen, and vaguely heard the sound of someone breathing slightly from inside. "Could it be here?"
After pushing the door open, he walked in. As soon as he opened the door, taking advantage of the moonlight, he noticed that a pile of straw inside was squirming. Before Xie Feng could say anything, two people suddenly sat in the pile of straw——
Two young men and women in ragged clothes with blushing faces were staring blankly at Xie Feng standing at the door.
"Ah!" The three of them exclaimed in unison, covering their mouths at random and at the same time. Before the man and woman could speak, Xie Feng, who reacted very quickly, immediately pointed at the man and woman in the straw pile, pretending to be surprised.
He said softly: "Oh! You are dead. You even had an affair in the woodshed in the middle of the night. Will you still die if the master finds out?"
Hearing Xie Feng's threat, the woman's face turned even redder, and she buried her head deeply into the straw in shame. But the man's face suddenly turned pale, and he said softly: "Brothers, please say goodbye! We have something to discuss.
!”
Xie Feng was in danger, but I finally reacted quickly enough to avert the danger. So he said: "But if you do this secretly, if I don't report it to the master, how can you live up to my professional ethics? You know, I just came here,
If you report it as soon as you arrive and you have merit, I'm afraid you will get a lot of rewards."
It was April, the weather hadn't turned hot yet, and the temperature at night was even lower. But the man started sweating on his head and said: "Brother, don't do it. You said you are new here, you are here."
Maybe you don’t know the master’s temper. If the master really finds out about the two of us...that or something, he will really beat us to death. Just pretend you didn’t see anything, and we will be grateful to you."
Xie Feng frowned, looked at the woman in the straw pile who was starting to turn pale, and said: "Forget it, I don't want to make grudges with others when I first came here. It's better to have one more enemy than one more friend. I'll tell you what happened tonight."
Just pretend you didn't see it." Xie Feng repeatedly emphasized that he was "new here", so that they would ignore the suspicion of his suspicious identity in their panic. This trick was indeed effective, and the man quickly said: "Yes
Yes, from now on, big brother, you will be my friend, and I am a kitchen worker. From now on, big brother, if you want to eat delicious food, just come to my little brother!"
Xie Feng nodded and said: "Thank you very much... By the way, the master asked me to find the retired soldier who was imprisoned a few days ago. I have something to ask him. But as soon as I left the house, I forgot the place where the master just mentioned.
, but I’m too embarrassed to go back and ask again—I wonder if you know?”
The man was speechless for a moment, and just when he was about to apologize and reply that he didn't know, the woman next to him sat up, barely wearing her clothes, and said shyly: "I know... I usually deliver food to that person.
…”
Xie Feng secretly laughed mischievously. The moonlight began to dim, and the Kale family's mansion became even darker.
Xie Feng and Janas were standing in front of a utility room in the mansion. The place was in a remote location, and the patrolling guards had just passed by, and there were a lot of cover nearby. That's why Xie Feng dared to stab him so hard.
Stand here.
It should be here, Xie Feng thought to himself. According to the location mentioned by the woman just now, Xie Feng found this place after finding Janus.
With his ear gently pressed against the door, Xie Feng paid attention to what was going on inside the house.
The sound of gentle breathing came from inside the door - it seemed extra clear in this silent night.
It seems that he has found the right place, Xie Feng touched the locked door again and thought to himself. Then he pointed to the keyhole on the door and winked at Janas next to him.
After receiving Xie Feng's instructions, Janas immediately stepped forward, leaned next to the door, took out a large string of wires of different thicknesses hanging from his waist, and gestured towards the keyhole on the door.
The sound of Janas unlocking the door was very soft, but in this silent night and silent space, it still seemed extra harsh.
"Click, click..." The wire stirred in the keyhole, but a soft voice sounded from inside the door: "Who?"
"Is it Mr. Yi An?" Xie Feng asked softly outside the door.
When the person inside the door heard this, he immediately became energetic and said: "Yes, it's me! You are..."
Xie Feng said: "I am Xie Feng's student, my name is Xie Feng. Mr. Xie is a little busy with work and cannot come to rescue you personally. He sent me to rescue you. I would like to say sorry to you by the way."
The person inside the door became even happier and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I wish someone could come and save me. You are Xieer's student, and you can sneak in here to find me, so your ability must be good."
Xie Feng said: "Mr. Yi An, please be patient. We will rescue you immediately." After saying that, he motioned to Janus to speed up.
The door lock was quickly opened under the skilled hands of Janas.
The lock was unlocked and the door was pushed open. Before the light could shine into the room, a sour smell came out first.
Xie Feng pinched his nose, endured the smell, and looked inside under the moonlight.
Behind the door, I saw a thin man sitting on the ground. The first thing that caught my eye was a face that looked very old even though he was young. His body was tied with chains, and there were several big locks hanging on them. At the end of the chains, there were even more
It was connected to the wall. Then I saw the mess around, with food residues, blood stains and other filth everywhere.
Xie Feng hurriedly stepped forward and tried to help Yi An up with both hands. However, Yi An waved his hands and said, "I can't stand up anymore..."
Hearing this, Xie Feng lowered his head and looked at Yi An's feet, only to find that under the moonlight, Yi An's legs were completely empty from the knees down. Xie Feng was shocked and said: "This..."
Yi An sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "They... broke my other leg... They broke it! Starting from the toes, they used an iron rod to break all my bones inch by inch! Finally, they kept beating.
Knees, until all the skin, flesh, muscles and bones are broken!" After saying this, Yi An's eyes almost burst out with fire. He said bitterly: "In the end, he even used precious salt to cover my wounds!"
Xie Feng was trembling all over as he listened, with goosebumps all over his body. This kind of pain is not something ordinary people can bear.
As for Janas, he almost fainted from fear.
Feeling sorry for Yi An's legs is one thing, but how to escape safely is what Xie Feng is concerned about. Now Yi An's legs are broken and he is completely unable to walk on his own. To escape, he must carry him on his back and break through the guards.
Overcoming obstacles - it's almost impossible.
Just when Janas reacted and was about to step forward to untie the chains on Yi An, he was stopped by Xie Feng, saying: "With the way he is now, there is no way we can secretly rescue him safely!"
Janas was shocked: "What should we do? Let him stay here? Give up the rescue?"
Under Yi An's confused gaze, Xie Feng gritted his teeth and said to Yi An: "Mr. Yi An, I'm sorry, you are like this. We really can't save you now... Please be patient for a day or two, I
I will definitely find a way to rescue you safely, please believe me! I swear in the name of Xie Feng!" After saying that, Xie Feng rolled down on one knee and bowed solemnly to Yi An.
Yi An looked at Xie Feng's firm gaze and solemn courtesy, nodded, sighed softly, and said: "Okay, I believe you. But I don't guarantee how long I can last... those bastards
The methods of torturing me are becoming more brutal every day."
After getting Yi An's approval, Xie Feng looked at the sky. Maybe the patrolling guards would return here soon - after all, people were detained here. So without being wordy, he pulled up Janas and said: "
Lock the door again, okay?"
Under the moonlight, Janus nodded.
The two of them immediately walked out of the utility room where Yi An was detained. Just before the door closed, Xie Feng said sincerely to Yi An, who was sitting on the floor in the room: "Mr. Yi An, you must hold on! Two days...three days at the latest.
God, I will definitely be able to save you!"
The door was closed, and the last thing Xie Feng could see was Yi An's indifferent nod coming from inside the door.
"Click... click..." Janus picked up the lock on the door with the wire and locked it again.
After the locking was completed, Janas stood up and asked Xie Feng: "What should we do now?"
Xie Feng lowered his head and gritted his teeth, obviously struggling in pain. After a long time, he raised his head and said: "Try every means to collect evidence and expose the fact that the Kale family has colluded with the lawless elements in the city... If it doesn't work, I will force myself to do it in three days."
We must break into the Kale family's mansion and rescue Yi An." After saying that, he opened the inventory and looked at the chain armor, Germanic helmet, assassin's dagger, and shield-breaking ax that he had placed inside. With this equipment.
, coupled with the swordsmanship and the assassin's magic step, no matter how hard it is, you can still escape unscathed, right? Then he looked at the purse with about 500 dinars on the side. With this money, he hired a team of mercenaries and signed a "military agreement."
It's not difficult to break into this mansion, right? Finally, I touched the Thousand Miles Penetrating Yang Ring on my finger. With the awesome skills of this artifact, even if it can't win by surprise, it can still have a good deterrent effect.
As long as the spirit does not decline, there are always more solutions than problems. Besides, Xie Feng himself has many trump cards, why should he be afraid of a small declining noble? Thinking of this, Xie Feng was full of confidence again and said to Janus: "Go back!
Chapter completed!
