C150 All Her Efforts Were in Vain
"Ol 'Five, Ol' Seven, wake up! That kid is gone!"
Under the tree, Ol 'Three anxiously shouted. Just a moment ago, a cloud of clouds suddenly streaked over and blocked out the moonlight. It caught him off guard silently. In the darkness, he suddenly noticed that Guxing's Qi had disappeared. He was anxious, but he could not find Guxing due to the weather. When the moon came out of the clouds again, Guxing was no longer on the ground.
This made him panic. When he thought about the consequences of letting that kid escape, he could not help but shiver. He jumped down from the tree at lightning speed and woke the two of them up. The three of them looked at each other in shock, then chased after the exit at the same time.
Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and the wall was tall and sturdy, so one could not climb it. If one wanted to break through the layers of defense and climb out of the mansion, they would have to escape to the main gate. Because the wall there was the lowest in the mansion, so the three of them were sure that he would escape there. They did not dare to hesitate and chased after him like the wind.
When the three of them ran far away, Guxing emerged from the place where he had disappeared earlier. It turned out that he hadn't escaped at all, but had hidden himself on the spot. The three of them were sure that he wouldn't stay here any longer, but they had neglected one thing. Most of the time, the most dangerous thing was the safest thing, which was the so-called darkness under the lamp.
However, it was also because of this that Guxing was able to get rid of them. He looked at the backs of the three of them and smiled slyly. After that, he followed them without making any sound.
Besides, the three of them didn't dare to rest as they rushed to the main gate, but they didn't see any trace of Guxing. They interrogated the patrolling soldiers, and all of them shook their heads and said that they did not see anything. It made the three of them angry, but at the same time, they also felt a wave of fear in their hearts. One should know that this person was personally named by Emperor and wanted to be brought back. Now, there was no trace of him under their noses. If this matter were to spread to the public, Emperor would surely find out about it. How could they still be alive?
The more the three of them thought about it, the more afraid they became. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should chase after them or report to the commander. Just as they were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them. Inadvertently, they discovered a black shadow flashing past the wall.
、
"Who is it!?"
The three of them had extremely sharp spiritual senses. They shouted at the same time. At this moment, the seventh brother seemed to have thought of something. He quickly opened his mouth and asked uncertainly, "Third brother Mo, could it be that kid?"
Third Brother was stunned when he heard this. He immediately reacted and said: "Oh no, we've been fooled. That brat never left the manor. This time, it's true. Let's quickly chase after him!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead to climb over the wall and leave. The fifth and third brothers couldn't be bothered to be surprised. After all, it was a matter of their lives, and they couldn't afford to be neglectful. They bowed and leaped to chase after him.
While they were chasing after him closely, Guxing was also fleeing in a hurry. He was practically using his own life to escape. He didn't dare imagine what kind of ending he would end up in if he was brought back by them. This feeling of not being able to control his own fate made him very uneasy, he firmly believed that as long as he escaped the manor, From then on, he would be able to enjoy the open sky and allow the fish to swim freely. As for Chu Rouer's side. . . He had already left a letter on the table. He believed that after she read it. . . She would definitely forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye.
Guxing turned around and looked at the Prefecture that was getting further and further away from him under the night sky. He heaved a sigh of relief, but right at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Hehe, it's already so late. Where is Yeh going in such a hurry?"
"It's you?"
Guxing recognized who it was. It was the commander of the Imperial Army. His surname was Ling, and his name was Yun. During the period of his injury, he had visited him more than once. It was said that his cultivation base was terrifying, and he had already broken through to the Spirit Cultivating Stage and reached the Attack Stopping Stage. Seeing that it was him, Guxing's heart immediately turned cold.
"Hehe, it's Chief Ling. Oh, I just couldn't sleep for a while. I think it's about time for me to go back. "
As he spoke, he took a few steps back. Just as he was about to escape in another direction, he suddenly saw another person slowly walking out of the darkness. Guxing's heart immediately turned cold.
"Tsk tsk. Little brother, you've really walked quite a distance after coming out. Brother Duan and I were really worried when we saw that you didn't return after a long time. We even said that you were lost. . . "
The person who walked out of the darkness said with a playful expression.
"So it's the City Lord. Cough cough, what a coincidence. "
Guxing rubbed his nose and let out a few dry laughs. A trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. These two people were harder to deal with than the last. It seemed like tonight's work was destined to be in vain. At this time, Third Brother and the others had also noticed the commotion and had given up all thoughts of escaping.
"What a good kid, you actually. . . "
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish, Ling Yun scolded the fifth brother fiercely. Then, he suddenly turned around and looked at Guxing with a smile. "After walking for so long, I think Yeh must be tired. Why don't we go back now?"
"Yes, let's go back. I'm really a little tired. "
Nodding his head, Guxing turned around and left. He didn't feel awkward at all, as if he really just came out for a walk. As for the others, except for the fifth brother, who looked dissatisfied and kept cursing in a low voice, they didn't say anything else. At this moment, Ling Yun walked past them one by one and snorted coldly.
"Lack of success, but more than enough of failure!"
Fifth Brother instantly shut his mouth. If he said that he respected and trusted Third Brother, He was completely afraid of this commander. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only lower his head and follow obediently, not daring to act rashly again.
After returning to his residence, Guxing went straight back to his courtyard and slammed the door shut. This time, he didn't come out again.
The three of them didn't stay there any longer. Instead, they were scolded by Ling Yun. However, compared to losing their lives, this small punishment was insignificant. Thinking about it, they felt much better.
Just like that, the residence fell into silence once again. It was so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened. Apart from the occasional clear sound of footsteps echoing in every corner of the residence.
The footsteps continued until dawn. Guxing pushed open the door and stood on the roof. He looked at the morning sun rising from the east and emitting a hundred thousand zhang light. A trace of loneliness and loneliness that no one knew about flashed across his eyes.
