Chapter 33 Search and Hide
Little Tail was very angry, and what happened today completely disappointed him with the empire.
When I was a child, in my uncle's story, the soldiers of the fox clan fought for glory. They are brave, they are strong, and they are warriors from the bottom of their hearts.
However, the current Qingqiu Empire needs to obtain the loyalty of soldiers in such a despicable way! This is too bad to be worse! That's all. Those dignitaries actually use these soldiers to kill their own princesses, and they would rather kill civilians than let go, which has deeply touched the moral bottom line of the little tail!
Don't you even need a reason to kill civilians? Thinking back on my uncle, the little tail's whole heart was cold. Such an empire, such a fox clan, is really like dusk!
(Uncle, it's also because of this, join the rebels...)
Thinking impatiently, the little tail passed through three towns by the wind. By this time, it was already dark, and he had to find a secluded inn to hide overnight - even if the other party could not catch up so far.
Be careful not to make a big mistake. With this mentality, the little tail adjusted his mood and naturally walked into an inn.
"Boss, an ordinary room, the best on the street, stay for seven days!"
"Turn right in the fifth room upstairs, 14 pieces of yellow magic crystal!"
After throwing 14 yellow magic crystals to the boss, the little tail quickly went upstairs, walked into his room, and then gently opened a gap in the window.
In the dark night, there are occasional rustling sounds, giving people a sense of tranquility, but the heart of the little tail can't calm down for a long time.
The situation at the top of the empire is chaotic. From the princess's words, the little tail has smelled the conspiracy.
Those imperial armies will not let go of anyone who walks out of the jungle safely - even if that person knows nothing at all! Therefore, the little tail is not out of danger now, and the imperial army will definitely conduct a carpet search for the whole short-tailed fox tribe - until it kills all the fugitives, including the little tail!
(What on earth is it for?)
Little tail can't figure out what threat a weak woman like a princess can pose to those conspirators? The princess's guard is less than 500. What can be done even if she reaches Qingqiu safely? Those powerful people with heavy soldiers can send more than 1,000 people to kill this team!
I rubbed the sore temples, and the snow-white ears of the little tail suddenly stood up--
- It's the sound of footsteps, neat footsteps!
The approaching footsteps and the gradually bright firelight appeared at the end of the street. The back of the little tail was slightly cool, and he thought about how to deal with it anxiously. At the same time, he also had a slight regret - he should have killed all those people at the beginning...
Thinking like this, Little Tail is ashamed of himself for having such an idea. If he kills those innocent soldiers without exposing himself - what's the difference between him and those conspirators?
(Even without them, those arrested hired demons will confess themselves...)
Thinking about this, the principle and belief of the little tail returned to the depths of his soul again. He squeezed his lips, sat calmly in front of the window, and looked at the approaching imperial army through the small cracks - now, he can only watch the change.
Soon, the 100-man army slowly walked all the way in the direction of the inn where the little tail was located, and along the way, every family was surveying, and even the alley was not let go.
Under the display of the broken demon pupil, the little tail looked at the portrait in the soldier's hand, and his whole heart was half cold - one of them, isn't it himself?
While admiring the superb skills of the imperial painter, the little tail smiled bitterly and then tied the burden to his body. He was ready to escape - the night is the best cover, and he is 50% sure to escape the pursuit!
Finally, the 100-person army came to the inn, and the boss greeted him with a smile on his face, and behind him was a clever young waiter.
"Master, it's really hard to run around in the dark!" With that, he took out a bulging pocket and stuffed it into the leading guard's hand without a trace. "Little care, no respect!"
Naturally, he stuffed his pocket into his arms. The guard smiled and said kindly to the knowledgeable boss, "The top is tracking down several important criminals. How can we be idle? Otherwise, who wants to run outside at night?
"Is there a crime to pursue? That's a big deal!" His eyes flashed faintly. The boss looked at the guard with a solemn face and said, "The military master took the trouble to run around day and night to catch the murderer. It's really admirable!"
"Hehe, where. Boss, your words are serious. It's just a matter of monarchy and loyalty! Not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning! Ha ha!" The guard said this, but unconsciously straightened his body. After saying that, the guard took out three portraits and handed them to the boss, "It's everyone's responsibility to arrest the murderer. Boss, have you ever seen these three people?
The boss lowered his head, looked at the three portraits in his hand, his eyes flashed, and then affirmed, "I haven't seen it. However, Caomin has recorded the appearance of these three people. As long as they are found, Caomin must inform the military master as soon as possible! Little grass, go and boil two pots of tea for the soldiers!" With that, he turned around and winked at the waiter's grass.
The waiter, known as the little grass, nodded gently, and then slowly retreated, but ran violently at the next moment when he disappeared from everyone's sight, and the direction was exactly where the little tail's room was!
"Ha ha, boss, you are so kind!" The guard said this, but took the lead in entering the inn.
"Ha ha, where! Since he is an important fugitive, it's better to search in the shop! After all, those murderers are all masters. If they quietly sneak into the shop of the grass people, they will ask the military master to show their power to capture them and eliminate harm for the people!" Carefully welcomed a group of sergeants into the inn, and the boss said sincerely.
"Hehe! The boss is really a reasonable person! Don't worry, as long as the murderer is found, I will definitely capture him!" He nodded with satisfaction to the knowledgeable boss, and the guard turned to more than a dozen sergeants behind him and said, "Go in and search. Remember, don't damage the boss's things, or the military law will deal with it!" After saying that, he winked at the boss.
"The military master is really considerate of the people! It's worthy of being a model in the army!" After listening to the words of the guard, the boss saluted deeply to the guard with a happy face.
From the cracks in the window, looking at the dozens of sergeants still guarding at the door of the inn, the little tail frowned deeply.
"guest officer! Open the door!" Just then, there was a low door call outside the door.
The little tail was silent and did not open the door, but just stared at the door coldly - as long as someone rushed in, he would attack without hesitation!
"guest officer! Open the door, there is not much time! You can't escape like this!" Just then, the waiter said such a sentence again.
After listening to the waiter's words, the little tail moved, took a picture with one hand, and the gate gently flew open, and a shrewd young waiter with his eyebrows fell into his eyes - it was the waiter named Xiao Caoer!
The teenager carefully opened the door, walked into the room, and then carefully looked out of the door without looking at the little tail. He went straight to the bed of the little tail and opened a layer of floor, revealing a large square hole with his back to the little tail and said anxiously, "Come with me!" After saying that, he jumped into the big hole without hesitation.
(Jishi?)
After listening to the name of the little grass, the little tail's eyes flashed slightly and he had no choice but to jump into the big hole. When he landed, he had already entered a room on the first floor.
Looking at the big hole on the top, the teenager said anxiously, "There is a secret road under the bed. The righteous man can leave by himself. I have to cover the hole above first!" After saying that, the teenager ran out of the room in a hurry, and his footsteps rose all the way, obviously running upstairs.
After the teenager left, the little tail hurriedly climbed under the bed in his room, gently knocked on the floor, and soon found a hollow floor.
Carefully uncovered the floor, and the little tail quickly climbed into the dark hole. At this time, the slow footsteps were gradually approaching. The little tail felt awe of heart and carefully covered the floor above his head.
After covering the floor, the little tail did not leave. First of all, he doesn't know where the secret road leads and whether it is safe. Secondly, if the army doesn't find him here this time, he thinks it would be a good choice to hide in this inn! No matter why the boss helps him, this is a good hiding place!
"Go and see if there is under the bed. I'll go to another room to have a look. It's getting late. Search early and go back to bed early! Alas, I encountered such a job on a cold day..." A voice muttered and gradually went away.
"I know! I don't know what the above thinks. A thirteen- or 14-year-old boy won't let go..." Another voice answered casually, and then the little tail heard the approaching footsteps.
"Oh~!" The voice sounded softly, and the whole heart of the little tail was raised - did he find the dark grid?
Dongdong~
The sound of tapping on the floor came, and countless cold sweats gradually rose from the forehead of the little tail, and the right hand rose slightly, and the inspirational thunder suddenly rose.
Dongdong~! Dong Dong!
The sound of tapping on the floor still did not stop, which may be due to his tall stature. The sergeant did not climb under the bed, so he never found the innermost hollow floor.
But even so, the heart of the little tail is also fluttering - it's really exciting! It's more exciting than hiding with my uncle when I was a child!
bitterly cracked the corner of his mouth, and the little tail took a deep breath and moved his right hand to the top of his head. As long as the floor was uncovered, he would not hesitate to attack - before the other party called for help!
"What are you doing?" In the distance, the previous sound came into the room, "Let's go. It's getting late. Don't ink!"
"Brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with this floor, but I don't know what's wrong!" The sergeant who knocked on the floor turned his head and frowned.
"Idiot!" After listening to the sergeant's words, the voice at the door scolded him in a low voice, and then slowly walked to the sergeant and whispered, "You idiot! We are just routine. Why are you so serious?
"But--
"Don't be! You are so stupid! Even if you find those people, what reward will your superiors give you? At most, it's just a few hundred yellow magic crystals! You have to fight with one or two of the three masters before you get the reward! Just for a little bonus, it's worth it? Do you know how your previous partners died? The later man scolded in a low voice, "You can do as much as you get!" I don't know what I shouldn't know! Do what you shouldn't do passively! Keep letting no one know what no one knows!"
"Hmm! Thank you for reminding me!" Hearing the man's words, the sergeant who had knocked on the floor answered in a low voice.
"Well, I don't want to change another partner! As long as it stops, even if there is something wrong with the floor, it shouldn't be the two of us to find out! We just need to wait for the salary!" With that, he took the lead and left the room, and soon the sergeant who had knocked on the floor also left slowly.
Listening to the conversation between the two sergeants, the corners of the little tail's mouth twitched a few times, and the thunder of the right hand slowly disappeared——
- Is this the sergeant of the empire?
Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. In this way, there are all kinds of people who eat and wait for death, and the little tail has been completely worshipped!
