The two guards looked at each other and chose to open the rooms one by one to check.
Since he didn't have a key, he decisively broke the lock and entered several rooms. Only one guest room had a window wide open, and the soft window screen fluttered in the wind. The two looked out, but found nothing suspicious.
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were lying quietly in the flower field. At this time, the night sky was dark, with no moon and no stars.
The night wind blows, with a light floral fragrance, but also a hint of decay.
Zhou Tang's nose twitched, and after a while he sat up and said softly, "There is something buried under the ground!"
Cheng Mu nodded in disgust, "Let's get out of here first!"
"Well, I don't know how Adair Alice and the others are doing?"
"If they had moved faster, they would have left the castle by now."
The two of them ran outside quickly and quietly.
Branton was woken up by the noisy sound. After dinner, his aunt invited him to enjoy wine and talk, comforting him about Alice. He drank too much for a while, and was sent back to the guest room to take a light sleep with his head feeling dizzy. .
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again, the window was still dark.
He pressed his head and propped himself up to sit up with his hands, then slowly opened the door to the room, walked a few steps along the corridor, grabbed a maid and asked, "What's going on?! It's so noisy."
When the maid saw that it was Branton, whom the mistress had recently fallen in love with, she replied, "Sir, something happened to the lady! Someone attacked the lady and she was injured."
Branton's head suddenly became clear, "Well, has anyone been caught?! Where is my aunt now? Is she okay?"
The maid replied, "Madam has been placed back in the bedroom. The doctor is treating her."
Branton immediately strode towards his wife's bedroom.
At this time, the butler frowned slightly and said to Nance, "After Yuna woke up, she said that the girls untied the ropes at some point and suddenly attacked Madam on the stage!"
Nance held the broken rope in his hand and asked, "This rope was cut with a sharp weapon. Where did this sharp weapon come from?"
It's a bit far-fetched to say it's a sharp weapon. The broken part of the rope was rubbed repeatedly. Obviously the tool is not sharp and easy to use. Maybe it's a sharp stone...
At this time, the guards brought by Nance also checked the bodies of the others and assessed their injuries. "Captain, the person who took the shot was very experienced, his movements were agile, and he hit the vital point with one hit. He is a veteran."
Among the four people who escaped, there was one with such skill...
Nance ruled it out directly, "Adair doesn't have such strong skills, and neither does Miss Alice. There are only two other people..." He turned back, "Butler, can you check where the remaining two are from?"
Yuna was helped over, and she grabbed Nance's arm, "Nance, you must catch those two people and cut them into pieces! Especially the one with the long legs! She hurt the lady."
Yuna's head seemed to have fallen. At this time, she was extremely confused and her words were incoherent. "They did it on purpose. I didn't want to pick them! They were the ones who provoked me. They must know each other. No, no, the four of them all know each other." Being familiar with each other comes with preparation.”
Nance frowned tightly, "The girls we selected don't know each other outside, and they live far apart. Yuna, what did you say in front of the girls?! To make them wary and resist?"
Yuna shook her head, suddenly feeling dizzy, "No, they don't know! Only at the last moment will they know what is waiting for them."
Nance winked at the housekeeper and asked someone to take Yuna down to rest and ask questions again when she wakes up tomorrow.
In the end, it was through the injured guard's reply that he clarified the general story of the matter, just as the guard he left behind to explore the corridor for strange things came back to report.
"Oops! Let them escape! Let people search in that direction." Nance suddenly understood what he had missed, but he did not take the escapees seriously.
When Brandon came to the lady's bedroom, he was stopped, "How is my aunt?! Has the thief been caught? How could a thief sneak in?"
A series of questions were thrown to the guard maid Mapel. Mapel, who knew a little details, said directly, "Isn't it your good sister and..."
Fortunately, the housekeeper arrived here in time to take over Marpel's words, and with a sharp look in her eyes, she stopped her panic, "Mr. Branton, please go back to the guest room to rest first. Madam's current condition is not good, and the doctor is still inside. Madam's diagnosis and treatment. If Madam wakes up, I will tell her about your coming to visit her."
Brandon caught the flaw in the maid's mouth, not wanting to be fooled easily, "No! That maid just said that my sister sneaked into the castle and hurt my aunt? Is it Adair's revenge?"
"Sir, you heard wrong! What Marpel means is that because Madam sent people out to search for Miss Alice, the castle guards were empty, and the thieves had an opportunity."
What the butler said was so righteous and well-founded that Blanton had to temporarily believe it.
Then the guards from the castle arrived, and Branton retreated to the guest room.
Nance came out of the darkness, "Is this Madam's new male favorite?"
The housekeeper responded in a low voice, "He is Madam's nephew."
Nance sneered, "He is suitable to be the canary in the lady's hand."
Then the housekeeper opened the door of his wife's bedroom for him, and he walked in.
On that large, soft and comfortable bed, a beautiful woman lay on it with a pale face. Nance never thought that the lady would still be as fragile as porcelain. "How is the lady? Doctor."
The old doctor shook his head honestly and said, "The situation is not very good. Madam has multiple injuries from falling and a bruise on her head. Of course, the most important thing is the knife wound on her chest."
The doctor had already taken out the knife inserted into the lady's chest.
"I have done my best, the rest is up to the Duchess."
Nance nodded towards the housekeeper, who asked the doctor to go out and put him in place in case Mrs. Ye's injury was different.
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were fast and light, and soon caught up with Adair and Alice in the woods outside the castle.
Adair panted heavily and looked back. When he saw Cheng Mu's lovely face, he immediately grinned and said, "You are finally here! I thought you..."
Zhou Tang said softly, "I didn't expect you were so lucky to be able to escape from the castle, but now is not the time to be happy and relaxed. There is still a difficulty waiting for us. The guards in the castle will catch up with us soon. Human feet But it’s no match for a horse’s limbs.”
Adair instantly felt a heavy breath pressing on his heart. Alice also tightened her arms uneasily. Adair whispered, "Alice! Alice! You are strangling me. Loosen a little and let me go." I take a breath."
Alice was startled and suddenly let go of her hand. Fortunately, Zhou Tang behind her supported Alice's back, otherwise she would have fallen.
Cheng Mu comforted, "Our plan is more than half complete. Alice, do you remember where the villages around the castle are? Just point in the direction."
