Troop patrols have been strengthened in Anyi City, and all the streets and alleys are illuminated by torches.
"Brother Cat, seeing this situation, we will definitely not be able to escape tonight!" Xiao Jian said, pulling Brother Cat and hiding in a dark corner uneasily.
"Let's not run away. There will definitely be a dead end if we go out. I wonder how Auntie and the others are doing now?" Brother Cat said.
"We can't control that much now. Let's find a place to stay in the city first, and we'll leave the city together tomorrow morning." Xiao Jian said seriously.
Brother Cat nodded and stared confusedly at the officers and soldiers patrolling outside the alley.
"Wait for me here first, I'll go out to explore the road!" Xiao Jian jumped out of the alley without waiting for Brother Cat's response.
After Xiao Jian waited for a group of patrol soldiers to pass by, he lowered his body and slowly moved toward the houses on the street using the moonlight projected on the dark background behind the houses. Every time he reached the door of a house, he put his ear close to the window to listen to see if there were any residents in the house. .
Brother Cat, who was hiding in the dark alley, had been watching Xiao Jian's every move nervously, for fear that he would disturb the patrolling soldiers coming and going.
After a while, the dark road ahead of Xiao Jian was gradually replaced by faint firelight, and Xiao Jian, who was still groping, immediately stopped exploring.
"Oops, someone is coming!" Xiao Jian spat lightly, "Looks like I can only take a gamble!" He looked back and forth, then jumped into a nearby window.
Brother Mao, who was hiding in the alley, only heard the sound of broken dishes in the house, followed by the sound of someone fighting indoors. Just as the patrol soldiers passed by with torches and illuminated the front room of the house, the sound of fighting suddenly disappeared. , everything becomes as if it never happened.
"Could this idiot have woken up the people living in the house?" Brother Cat said to himself worriedly, "It seems that Brother Cat is the one who will take over!"
Brother Cat then tiptoed and imitated Xiao Jian's way of walking, walked to the window of this house and squatted down. After looking around to make sure no one else was coming, he raised his head and poked the window paper with a finger to look inside. This sight shocked him. Brother Cat was frightened. He saw something like an arrow pointing at him through the dark window hole. The arrow reflected cold white light from time to time.
"Hiss..." Cat Brother took a breath of cold air.
"Come in!" A clear female voice came from the darkness in the house.
Brother Cat was startled, and then he stood up obediently and prepared to walk in through the front door.
"Come in through the window!" shouted a female voice in the room.
"Oh..." Brother Cat's back felt cold and he could only obediently turn back and climb into the house through the window.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground and before he could stand firmly, he felt two pairs of eyes staring at him.
"Who are you?" another female voice asked.
"Where is Xiao Jian? Where is Xiao Jian?" Brother Cat asked directly without answering his question.
"I'm here!"
Brother Cat followed the sound and saw a woman wearing black tights standing in front of Xiao Jian. This woman was holding a short sword, and the blade was pointed directly at Xiao Jian's throat.
"Don't move! Don't move if you want to live!" Brother Cat was about to crawl over to explore the situation when he was forced back with a dagger.
"Two beauties, we just happened to be passing by. Can you please let me out for your convenience?" Brother Cat said with a smile.
"Dreaming! Which department do you belong to? What mission do you come to Anyi City to perform? Tell me!" The beauty pointed at Xiao Jian with a sword suddenly shouted.
"We are members of the Dove Union. We came to Anyi City just to take on an escort mission. Who knew that someone suddenly shouted out in the middle of the night, so we went out to check. Little did we know that we would not be able to go back, and the officers and soldiers behind us would He started chasing the two of us along the street. Who knew the north, south, east, and west? In order to save his life, he had to find an alley to hide. However, he thought that hiding like this was not an option, so he wanted to find a house to rest for a while. At night, how could I have known that I would meet two fairy sisters here!" Xiao Jian saw that the origins of the two beauties were not simple, and their levels were not low. At least they were much stronger than his level 1 characters. No matter in terms of agility or strength, in order to survive, he had to The only way to complete the mission is to make up a lie first.
"Are you talking nonsense? Do you think we sisters are vegetarians? You need to be at least level 10 to accept the escort mission, and it requires a team of no less than 5 people. Do you really think we are so easy to be deceived?" The beauty opposite Xiao Jian said sharply.
"Uh..." Xiao Jian was speechless for a while, because Fang had only entered the game not long ago, and he had just arrived in Anyi City, so he didn't know much about the tasks posted on the city wall, so he couldn't even make up a lie.
"If you don't tell the truth, then we will kill your companions first!"
The beauty who was pointing the dagger at Brother Cat suddenly pierced the skin of her neck with the tip of the sword, and blood immediately flowed out. Brother Cat was so frightened that he panicked, and all of a sudden he resorted to all kinds of attacks.
"Don't, don't, don't! Two aunts, don't listen to his nonsense. It's true that we are members of the Dove Union. However, the task we perform is not to escort escorts, but to... go... go..." Brother Cat said Suddenly he felt Xiao Jian glaring at him, and suddenly he no longer dared to speak.
"Say it!"
This time the sword blade penetrated deeper. Feeling the severe pain, Cat Brother's mouth trembled all of a sudden. "We sneaked into the palace to find Princess Wei to find out the whereabouts of her brother Wei Tao. We have completed the mission." Then I suddenly heard shouts of assassins outside, so I ran out in a panic and met you."
"So that's it! How many people are there to carry out this mission this time?"
"Counting the two of us, there are 6 in total!"
"Where are they?"
"They all got separated after entering the city!"
"You got separated? Are you trying to lie to me again? Are you impatient?" After speaking, the woman in black thrust the dagger in her hand forward again.
"Ouch! Auntie, I didn't lie to you, it hurts! It really hurts! I really didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you!" Brother Cat rolled on the ground in pain and shouted.
"Sister, okay, stop making trouble, be careful not to disturb the soldiers who are guarding the city. I think he either doesn't know anything, or he has recruited them all!" After saying this, the beauty in black suddenly turned her head to Xiao Jian, "Come on, tell me!"
"Say? What else do you want me to say? Everything you want to know has been revealed by this waste who is greedy for life and fear of death!" Xiao Jian said sternly, "If you don't believe us, you can kill or cut into pieces as you please!".
After Xiao Jian finished speaking, he flashed his neck in front of the woman in black, and immediately revealed the scar left by Princess Wei's dagger on him. The traces of blood were particularly obvious under the dim moonlight.
"Where did your neck injury come from? Can you tell me about this?" The beauty opposite Xiao Jian asked softly.
