Chapter 2182
The window in Jiang Xun's room was not opened, but it could not block the various sounds coming from the street.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, walked straight to the window, stretched out her hand to push the window open a small crack, and looked out through the crack.
Jiang Xun also walked over and stood beside her, followed by Ye Yi who remained calm.
The three people looked down at the same time.
Because officers and soldiers were constantly wandering and searching the streets, the people of Huaicheng were frightened. Even the bustling shops in the past were mostly closed and the vendors that could be seen at any time on the streets were nowhere to be seen, making it look very depressed.
The streets were empty, and at first glance there were almost no pedestrians.
But at this moment, the empty streets were a mess of people and horses. Officers and soldiers poured out from different intersections in all directions, all with fierce looks, holding knives in their hands, chasing two civilian men not far ahead.
"stop!"
"Still want to run? Stop—"
The roar, accompanied by the sound of weapons being unsheathed, spread throughout the street, frightening the waiters in the few open shops on the roadside to tremble and quickly close the doors.
Xiao Lingyue didn't look much at the pursuing officers and soldiers, and her eyes suddenly fell on the two men in civilian clothes.
I saw that they were dressed in the same way as ordinary people. They looked ordinary, but they were fast, and they were still able to escape forward with ease despite the hundreds of officers and soldiers behind them.
Xiao Lingyue also noticed that the two men seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of Huaicheng. They escaped into alleys several times during the process, but were soon forced out by the officers and soldiers in the alleys and had to flee along the street.
Although he is fast, his movements are also very flexible.
However, the number of officers and soldiers was too great, and pursuers were coming from all directions in a steady stream, forming an encirclement and trapping them in a trap.
"Who are these two people? Why did they provoke so many officers and soldiers?" Jiang Xun's hair went numb when he saw this scene, and he murmured in shock.
Xiao Lingyue sneered slightly: "Who knows? Being chased like this probably means there is a problem with your identity and your secret is exposed, right?"
She turned around and asked Jiang Xun: "Do you recognize their movement and martial arts?"
Jiang Xun knew full well that the reason she asked was to let him judge whether these two people were escaped dead soldiers.
"Can't recognize it."
He said angrily, "Who do you think I am? Who can recognize me from such a distance?"
Xiao Lingyue didn't care and shrugged.
In just two words of conversation, the two fleeing people had already arrived downstairs at the inn.
The location of this inn is very good. It is right at the intersection of two main streets. Standing in front of the room window on the second floor, you can see the two central streets of Huaicheng at a glance, leading directly to the north and south city gates.
Of course this was Xiao Lingyue's special choice.
The goal of the two men in civilian clothes was obviously to get rid of the pursuers and escape towards the city gate.
But unfortunately, there will only be more officers and soldiers patrolling and guarding near the city gate, because the distance is not far and the street is a straight line. The officers and soldiers in front of the city gate also discovered the situation and chased after them without hesitation.
There are obstacles in front of you and pursuers behind you.
The two intersecting main streets were blocked by officers and soldiers, and from the small alleys beside the streets, a small group of officers and soldiers would rush out from time to time.
The crowd is getting bigger and bigger.
There is already a situation of encirclement and suppression.
