Chapter 42 The Dark Path
In the silent night, this scream was particularly harsh.
The fat man rushed to the window, stood at the window for a while and then turned back, with a solemn face: "We are in trouble. A large group of soldiers are approaching this yard. If you guess correctly, it should be for the princess. Just now, someone attacked them in the dark. Thanks to the well-trained soldiers of the Roman Kingdom, we still have a minute to leave safely.
The well-trained fat man's words are naturally counterproductive. If you guess correctly, it should be Xiaowu's people who attacked these soldiers outside. The fat man did not see anyone fighting with the soldiers at the window. It seems that they are just a sudden sneak attack. After reminding the fat man to come outside, they are already far away. Go.
Their accidental sneak attack obviously caused a lot of trouble to the team of soldiers. They put on a defensive posture in panic, but they didn't know that the sneaker had already gone.
Time is tight. Princess Natalie and her maid Jessica are still tied to the chair at this time, and their faces are unconvinced. Now taking them out can only become a burden to drag people to death.
The fat man pulled out the rag from Princess Natalie's mouth, which was different from the hippie smiling face just now. At this time, he looked solemn and said in a low voice, "I'll give you two choices, follow us, or go back to your palace."
Natalie's eyes were still full of uneasy panic. She looked at Xiaowu very entangledly, but she didn't know what to choose in a short time.
"Forget it, you'd better go back and be your canary." The fat man didn't have time to delay here. While talking, he had to walk out of the room with Xiaowu.
"Wait!" Natalie exclaimed, without hesitation, and said loudly, "Let's go with you!"
"Go to be a maid?" Xiaowu turned her head with a smile.
If you don't agree, you have to go back to the palace. It is likely that you will soon be be betrothed to Prince Jed of the Patton Empire. Instead of freedom, Natalie would rather gamble, and her eyes showed a firm look. Natalie stressed: "The maid is the maid, and the princess agreed!"
"Remember what you said today!" Xiaowu smiled and waved the knife in his hand on the two people. The rope broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
Jessica, who got out, took out the rag in her mouth and didn't have time to breathe. She said in a hurry, "I bought this house for the princess before. There is a secret road on the bottom, which can lead to another ordinary house in the back."
"How can there be a secret road here?" Natalie's eyes widened, but she didn't expect that she didn't even know about it. Jessica quickly explained, "I was dug a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to be really useful today."
The fat man and Xiaowu were also in high spirits. Xiaowu did not forget to laugh and said, "Jessica is good. She knows how to think about danger at such a young age. It's much better than a canary who doesn't know anything. Jessica leads the way. Let's go!"
Jessica looked at Natalie worriedly. Seeing that Natalie stared at Xiaowu angrily, she was not angry with her. Then she was relieved. After taking the three people to the bottom of the building, she groped in an inconspicuous corner. Soon, a trace of joy appeared on her face. With a force, she half turned up a huge stone brick. The fat man went to help move the stone bricks away, revealing a corner of the board under it, and then removed the two stone bricks next to him. Only then did he reveal a whole square board under it. After removing the board, a big dark hole was exposed.
"There is indeed a secret!" There was joy on their faces, and even Natalie looked happy.
"It's useless for a long time. Maybe there will be no air in it. If the torch is extinguished, exit quickly." The fat man lit a torch and handed it to Xiaowu: "I'll go out and come back right away."
At this time, there was already a louder noise outside, and it could be heard that the soldiers guarding the yard were negotiating with the brigade soldiers outside. On the contrary, Natalie was the most anxious. Seeing that the fat man was going out, she said urgently, "Why are you going out now? Let's fast ahead and don't be discovered by them."
"They came so fast that they were afraid that if we didn't all go in, they would find out." The fat man casually explained that he didn't have time to say anything more. He walked to the corner of the wall and came out through the wall under the gaze of Natalie!
"How did he do it!" Jessica saw the fat man through the wall for the first time and opened her mouth with her own eyes. Although Xiaowu and Natalie had seen each other, they asked them to tell the specific truth, which still made people scratch their heads. Xiaowu shook her head and said, "Don't care about that pig's head. Let's go in first."
Don't say how the three of Xiaowu entered the dark road, but after the fat man successfully crossed the wall, he happened to see the soldiers defending the house and the soldiers outside confronting each other.
"Who are you? Get out of the way!" The soldiers outside shouted loudly, hoping to get in quickly. The number of soldiers defending the house was smaller, but at this time, they still guarded the courtyard door and looked at the soldiers outside alertly.
These soldiers were not under each other, not to mention that everyone was panicked tonight. At this time, when they saw a large group of soldiers coming out of their sheaths and surrounded them, the soldiers in charge of guarding the house subconsciously had the idea of resistance. And the soldiers outside, even more because they were attacked and killed by someone just now, they were all sulking. When they came here, they were stopped by these soldiers. Naturally, they were not angry.
"Brothers, don't! Don't do it! I'm Ji Wen! Your brother Jiwen!" A man came closer from the outside and shouted, "There may be something wrong with the carriage I just stopped outside with you. The princess is probably in the carriage! Don't do it, everyone! We are all our own people. Open the door and let us in. If we find the princess, all of us will have great credit!"
Princess Natalie disappeared strangely at night, and before tonight, the princess's maid Jessica took out the princess's warrant and found this team of soldiers. After giving great benefits, she asked them to wait near the gate at night, and then escort the carriage to the house and guard it.
Jessica's request is a little strange, but because she is the princess's personal maid, no one of these soldiers will doubt anything. But such a big thing happened in the palace tonight. Although they were outside the palace and didn't know what was going on, when the fire dragon counterattacked the palace, although they were far away, they could still see some.
The captain of this team of soldiers had some doubts, but it was not easy to directly refuse Jessica's request before he figured out what had happened. He could only secretly send two soldiers to the palace to inquire about the news while escorting the carriage to the house. The soldier named Jiwen was one of them. .
When they saw Jiwen appear, the soldiers on the defending side obviously relaxed a little. Their captain reached out and signaled everyone not to do it, and then strode out and asked, "Gwen, what the hell happened?" Also, why is the princess in that carriage?
The tense atmosphere on both sides began to ease, but at this moment, the soldier named Jiwen suddenly let out a scream and then fell to the ground with his neck covered. The captain was suddenly stunned, turned around and ran for two steps. His heart suddenly hurt, and he fell softly to the ground with a muffled hum.
The accident was so sudden that the soldiers didn't even see how the two people died!
At this time, only a voice full of grief and indignation sounded behind him: "Captain! You died miserably! Damn it, these people outside are going to kill us all! Brothers, don't be fooled by them. Come on! Fight with them!!"
This sentence became the fuse. I don't know who took the lead in hand. In the dark, the eyes could not see the truth, which deepened the fear of both sides. The sound of fighting became tragic, and the night that had become quiet became noisy again.
In the dark, a shadow dressed as a bodyguard secretly fled from the point of conflict to the back. After a search, he quickly sneaked into a carriage parked there.
"Purple gold coin, where is my purple gold coin?" The fat man who had just successfully provoked a dispute between the two sides was looking around in the carriage like nothing happened.
Unfortunately, since it's all dark, how can it be found by him so easily? Listening to the soldiers fighting more fiercely with each other, the fat man cursed secretly, raised his foot and kicked the carriage seat fiercely!
Violent demolition is much easier than slowly searching. Soon, the fat man found a dark compartment and reached out to touch it. A large bag of jingling gold coins arrived smoothly.
Opening the mouth of the bag, under the soft white light, the purple and gold eyes almost dazzled.
"This is the purple gold coin... Damn it, I've finally seen it. I won't let people say that we are farmers next time." The fat man looked intoxicated, and he didn't have time to take a closer look. He closed the mouth of the bag, threw the purple gold into the space ring, turned around and got out of the carriage.
The soldiers on both sides were fighting happily at this time, and the fat man simply did not go through the wall anymore. He walked directly from the door generously. Although some soldiers who were fighting outside saw the fat man enter the gate, the conflict had already broken out. Even if someone noticed something was wrong, it was too late.
The figure of Xiaowu and the three people can no longer be seen at the bottom. The entrance of the dark road is still open. The fat man didn't think much and went straight down the dark road. The soft white light brightened the dark road. This dark road is well done, and it is also covered with hard mud. There is no need to worry about the loosening of the soil.
The fat man was not in a hurry to enter the dark road. He turned around and carefully moved the stone bricks back to the original place, and blocked them with a wooden board. Then he clapped his hands and turned back into the dark road.
According to Jessica, the secret road should lead to another house not far away. The fat man thought that the secret road would soon reach the end, but he did not expect that after turning two corners, he still did not see the exit. When he was a little puzzled, he finally saw the light at the exit. He was happy and couldn't help speeding his pace.
It seemed that Xiaowu's voice was faintly heard outside. The fat man got out of the exit and did not forget to say, "Xiaowu, those soldiers have already fought by themselves. I'm afraid they won't find this secret road in a short time, but we have to go quickly. It's better to get out of the city as soon as possible. "
A warning suddenly appeared in his heart, and the cold weapon had been pressed tightly on his neck. The fat man walked out of the exit and saw the bleak faces of Xiaowu and the three of them.
