Hidden in the darkness, watching the soldiers of the Jinlan Mercenary Group coming in and out, Ling Chen smiled helplessly in depression, but suddenly felt a sense of strangeness, and realized as never before - this was another world.
Thinking about the scene in the courtyard half an hour ago, thinking about the living lives turning into a bunch of bloody stumps and broken arms in the blink of an eye, thinking about the scene of killing people like butchering dogs... He couldn't help but think of
In the previous world, although that world was also a society where individuals could eat people, but as long as there were people, where could they not eat people? Relatively speaking, that world was much more stable. At the very least, in that world there was always
You can't kill people so openly! Now that I think about it, that kind of boring but stable life is not bad! At least you don't have to worry all day long about a cold arrow shot from somewhere or a big knife coming from somewhere, which will shorten your originally short life.
It’s over!
But then he thought of the power of King Chu Ba and Elder Beilei who could instantly turn the tide of the battle on their own. He thought of the shock when the Suzaku, a sacred bird that only appeared in legends, appeared in front of him. He thought of the cracked handle.
The bloody sickle in the void, and thinking of the strange spell that seemed to be able to penetrate the soul... he felt that the wolf blood in his body was boiling! He knew that although a peaceful and stable life was good, it was not what he really yearned for.
What he yearns for is the kind of life that allows him to clearly feel his own existence, rather than the muddled peace and tranquility. Here, although he faces danger at any time, he has a pursuit, which is to constantly challenge his own limits.
, like the overlord of Chu, the elder of Burei, traveling in the air and across the sky.
Ling Chen shook his cute little wolf head and came back from his reverie. He saw a raging fire rising in the yard where the Jinlan Mercenary Group was originally located. The fire soared into the sky, lighting up half of the sky and lighting up half of the sky where he was.
The shadow was shining brightly. It was expected that the corpses were being burned. Also, on such a hot day, if not handled properly in time, it could easily cause an epidemic such as the plague. Ling Chen thought about it and quickly left there.
Along the way, he saw many soldiers patrolling the streets in groups, and many people going door to door to check something. Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat, thinking about the identity of Princess Murong Qianxue, could it be that she actually used the power of the army to
Search him? It’s not impossible if you think about it. It’s always good to be careful about this kind of thing. Although he could not be discovered by the soldiers for a while with his abnormal speed and the convenience of darkness, an accident would inevitably happen, and it would not be long before
It is estimated that daybreak will come, and there will be more pedestrians on the street. Even if you are not discovered by the soldiers, it will be troublesome for you to be discovered by passers-by. If you can't find the way out of the city for a while, you have to find a suitable place to hide first.
This is not the case for ordinary small households. The place is too small and it is easy to be searched. And now I don’t know which places have been searched. It seems that the only way is to find some wealthy families. This kind of house has a large place and it is easy to find a place that is not easily searched.
The place where they were found. However, in such large houses, there are many highly skilled guards and the like, and some even have some unborn peerless experts hiding in them, so be extra careful.
Turning a street corner, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a large house on the left side of the street on the right. It had a tall gatehouse and two large lanterns hanging at the door. The dim light reflected two huge stone lions in front of the door.
It is ferocious and terrifying, like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness that chooses people to devour.
He was about to find a place to go in when he saw a group of soldiers running towards him from a distance, each holding a torch. As they ran closer, the whole street was lit up. Ling Chen was startled. Could it be that he was being attacked?
He was discovered, but he did not run away in fear. The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he must be. This is the principle he has always adhered to.
Calmly hide in the darkness and quietly observe the movements of the soldiers. If they are really discovered, there is no point in escaping now. It is better to stay and see what happens. It will not be too late to leave later. If they are not discovered,
If you are running around in such a hurry, you will be easily discovered. The most important thing is to be calm. Only by being calm can you be less likely to make mistakes.
Seeing those soldiers stop in front of the big house, Ling Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had not been discovered! He was truly blind now. He was blind to this city and everything here.
It was dark, and nothing was clear. He was not sure whether those soldiers were searching for him. At this time, he was not in a hurry to leave, so he hid in the dark and observed, hoping to see if he could get some useful information.
Those soldiers lined up neatly in front of the house, illuminating the entire door, but did not take any further action. They seemed to be responsible for guarding the door. There were thirty people in each pair, all wearing armor and holding swords.
It was a two-handed heavy sword, very heavy. In addition, they were running in unison, making a lot of noise, and they were holding torches one by one, so they had already alerted the owner of the mansion.
Squeak...
After another half a stick of incense, the door was finally opened to allow one person to pass through. A middle-aged man came out, wearing a green robe. There was nothing special about him. He frowned and looked at the soldiers.
He wondered: "Why did you stop in front of my house late at night? What happened?"
The leader of the soldiers stepped forward and explained: "The Jinlan Mercenary Group was wiped out tonight, and no one survived. We were ordered to search for suspicious characters and a small white beast that looked like a wolf. We were worried that it would be hidden in the house, so we guarded it.
Stay here to prevent him from escaping."
The middle-aged man was obviously shocked when he heard that the Jinlan Mercenary Group had been destroyed. He nodded to the soldier, then turned around and quickly entered the door. The door was closed with a "squeak..." sound.
The soldiers also returned to their original positions, and the calm at the door returned to the beginning.
Ling Chen listened to their conversation word for word with his keen hearing, and learned that they were indeed searching him. Although he had some guesses at first, he was shocked once it was confirmed. He thought for a long time in the dark, and finally
He decided to find a way to sneak into this mansion. Firstly, he knew nothing about the city and wandering around would easily expose him. Secondly, judging from the tone of the middle-aged man talking to the soldier, the identity of the owner of this mansion was unusual.
Those soldiers did not dare to enter and search randomly, and could only wait at the door. In this way, as long as they entered the mansion and hid it carefully, they would not be found out. When the limelight passed, he was thinking of ways to get out of the city.
It's much safer.
He did what he thought of and looked around. Ling Chen silently jumped into the darkness of the other side's street and listened to the movement in the wall. The sound of patrolling guards came from the wall. It was very dense. It might have been added recently.
, or the owner of this house has too many enemies, so he has to be so tightly guarded. However, this also indirectly shows that there is no peerless master in this house. Even if there is, it is not known to everyone, but that possibility is too high.
When he was young, Ling Chen didn't believe that his luck would be so bad.
After waiting quietly for a long time, he finally discovered the movement patterns of the patrol teams. Taking advantage of the time when there was no one inside the wall, Ling Chen jumped in from the wall. To be honest, Ling Chen himself was not absolutely sure.
Although he can run fast, doesn't it mean he can jump high? He just bet that his body is so abnormal, and he didn't feel relieved until he landed safely. He thought to himself that his skills are really suitable for picking flowers to steal fragrance and jade.
Thief, while inspecting the environment in the courtyard.
This place is a very Chinese garden layout, with flowers and plants everywhere, lush trees, rockeries and flowing water, and the environment is very quiet. However, he has no intention of looking at the scenery at this time. He quickly took the opportunity to find a hiding place before the guards arrived.
place.
Under the cover of various trees and potted plants, Ling Chen came to a building. This place was obviously different from other places in the mansion. Other places were brightly lit, but here there were only a few sporadic lights.
In comparison, it is simply appalling. Moreover, the houses here are obviously in disrepair, and all kinds of wood are somewhat dilapidated. It seems that they are mostly where servants live.
Ling Chen thought for a while, and found that there was not much difference anywhere, and the defense in this area was obviously lax. Those who patrolled almost all walked far away, and did not care about the safety here. Ling Chen secretly judged each society while
They all have such a dark side, but on the other hand, they were very happy to think that hiding here was the best place, so they found a small room where debris was stored and hid in it.
Ling Chen didn't dare to let down his guard until dawn. Fortunately, his physical fitness was so good that he didn't feel any discomfort even if he didn't eat or sleep for several days. When everyone had finished breakfast, the two people outside had an interesting conversation.
got his attention.
"Hey, the head of the family is going to hunt in the suburbs again. He hunts very frequently!" one of the voices said, with an unspeakable smell.
"No, since he last saw the mother and daughter in the suburbs, he has been hunting much more diligently. Hehe... Oh, don't mention it. That mother and daughter are really... tsk tsk..."
"Don't be delusional. Have you ever seen anything that the head of the house likes that has been touched by others? Even if you get tired of playing, your life will be ruined and it won't be your turn!"
"I mean, that's really possible. But it would be a pity to ruin it, you say so!"
"It's a pity that there is a tigress at home! How dare he bring it back? Well, don't say so much, and quickly prepare the carriage. The owner of the house is waiting to leave the city for 'hunting'!"
…
Ling Chen was not interested in their gossip news, but when he heard that they were preparing a carriage to leave the city, he immediately became interested and followed them quietly.
On the street in the early morning, a pair of carriages and horses hurried towards the South City Gate. Pedestrians gave way to each other along the way, and it was obvious that the owner of the carriage and horses had an unusual identity. Without any hindrance, the carriages and horses moved very fast, and soon
Soon they arrived at the south gate. The soldiers at the gate saw clearly the signs of the carriages and horses, and immediately did not dare to stop them.
Under the floor of the carriage, Ling Chen struggled to hold on to the crossbars with his four small wolf claws, almost collapsing. His wolf claws were not good at grasping, and with the bumps along the way, he almost fell down several times.
Come down. But now he was about to leave the city, but he felt indescribable joy in his heart. Although he suffered a lot, as long as he could get out of the city smoothly, it would be completely worth it.
