"Why are you the only one keeping watch?"
The chief officer came back from his inspection and found that one of his subordinates who was on guard was missing.
"He is in the land of tenderness now because a female prisoner is looking for him."
The subordinate pointed in the direction of the small slope and made eyes to signal his superior.
This kind of thing is not uncommon on the road to exile.
If prisoners want to suffer less, they either need someone above them to take care of them, or they need relatives to pay them. If they have neither, they can only use their bodies as capital to bribe the officials.
Gong's family was confiscated and she was exiled. Her former colleagues and students could hardly protect themselves, so how could they have the energy to take care of her
The female prisoner had only one way to go.
Otherwise, this is a good job.
The chief of the police naturally knew this unspoken rule.
"How long has he been gone?"
"Just a moment."
"Humph, AWOL!"
"However, with that kid's speed, it should be almost over. He's fast, so it won't take much time."
Hearing this, the chief of the police moved the corners of his lips, as if he wanted to laugh but forced himself to hold it back, and pretended to be serious with a stern face.
"Tell him when he comes back—add another hour to the vigil!"
After waiting for a while, no one came back.
Could it be that the boy really found some useful folk remedy from somewhere and cured his hidden illness
The officer could not sit still. Seeing that the prisoners were sleeping as soundly as dead pigs, he was not afraid that they would take the opportunity to escape, so he quietly got up and followed in the direction of Chen Tang and the others.
Listen to the noise. If they are almost done, I can go up and take their turn.
As he approached the hill, he began to have a vague sense of foreboding.
The noise here is too abnormal!
There was neither panting to make the ears hot nor flapping to make the spirit excited, but only the noisy ensemble of insects chirping and the night wind blowing the weeds.
"Lao Zhou? Lao Zhou, where are you—"
He suppressed his uneasiness, walked quickly forward, pushed aside the dense weeds, and called out his colleague's name.
Soon the sound stopped.
He looked down at what he had stepped on—
An arm!
In the dim night, he barely recognized that the male corpse with a strangely twisted neck was the "Old Zhou" he mentioned!
“Someone’s dead!”
His scream attracted the chief of the police.
The person was already dead, but the corpse was warm and soft like a living person, not much colder, which showed that he had been dead for only a short time.
The leader of the officials checked the broken neck and wrist again. Judging from the marks, it should have been broken instantly by someone. The finger strength and hand strength were extremely terrifying. However, the body showed signs of martial courage, but the life was taken away without even a decent resistance. The murderer must be stronger than the bottom-level public servants.
"Where is the female prisoner? Has her body been found?"
Seeing that the body had been searched clean, the chief officer thought of something.
The subordinate replied: "No, we didn't find her, only Lao Zhou."
The leader of the police: "..."
The person is dead and the female prisoner is missing
Someone kidnapped a prisoner
When he came up with this guess, his face suddenly darkened.
"Go back and keep an eye on the prisoners! If there are any suspicious people, kill them immediately!"
"yes!"
The leader of the officials followed the traces left by Chen Tang and soon saw a vague figure running in the darkness.
He drew his bow and arrow without hesitation.
The arrow flew off the bow and shot towards Chen Tang's back.
There was no doubt that this arrow would kill the female prisoner.
Unexpectedly, the female prisoner seemed to have a pair of eyes on her back. At the moment the arrow was about to hit her, she rolled to the right and narrowly avoided the attack.
"I didn't expect that there would be a fish like you who slipped through the net!" He steered the horse over Chen Tang's head, tightened the reins, and stood firmly on the horse's hooves, blocking her way. He said angrily, "Taking advantage of the fact that a boy looks like a girl, blending in with the female prisoners and then taking the opportunity to escape, the thief Gong has a good plan!"
All male Gong prisoners whose property was confiscated were expelled from the Dan Mansion regardless of their age.
Firstly, it prevents the prisoners from escaping, and secondly, it prevents them from seeking revenge in the future.
The prisoner in front of him was alone and had no one to help him. It should be that "Chen Tang" used his sex appeal as bait to lure the prisoner out, and then took advantage of his relaxed state of mind to launch a sneak attack and kill him.
But no matter how relaxed the inferior officer was, he could not be killed instantly by a mere woman. Looking at the wound, it can be concluded that this person must have either literary talent or military courage.
It is known that it is impossible for a woman to have one, so the "female prisoner" in front of us must be a man.
There is no need to guess that a male prisoner who has infiltrated the group of female prisoners for such a long time without being discovered must be because the Gong prisoners covered up for each other and protected "him".
From the above, we can know that this person has a very important position and weight in the Gong family. How can he report back if such an important person escapes
In a flash, I came up with a logical conjecture.
Chen Tang got up from the ground.
He made a "Puh" sound and spat out the sand on the corner of his mouth.
I happened to hear what the leader of the officials said.
What do you mean she took advantage of a boy's feminine appearance
And still call her "Gong thief"
Don't bully her because she has no memory at the moment and add random characters to her!
"Oh, so what do you want?"
After Chen Tang finished speaking, she accidentally pulled the wound on her cheek, and the fine stinging pain made her gasp - she had dodged too hastily just now, and her cheek was rubbed by the gravel on the ground, which hurt and burned. She knew it was bleeding without touching it with her hands - her eyes were always fixed on the enemy.
"Come back with me and I'll spare your life."
Chen Tang was amused by this: "Save my life? I think you are just talking bullshit!"
He looks ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts!
"Since we can't come to an agreement, then—" The leader of the officials did not get angry, but focused his mind and energy, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Spears, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, spears—kill!"
Chen Tang: “…Huh?”
What's the meaning
What are you chanting all of a sudden
As soon as the question popped into my mind, I saw the longbow in the leader's hand turned into a cross halberd in the next second.
The spear was nearly ten feet long, and the cold tip of the spear was stabbing straight at her face, without any martial ethics at all.
Chen Tang was startled by this sudden change. He tilted his head back and dodged the fatal blow with agility.
When it comes to weapons, the longer they are, the stronger they are.
The strange long halberd, nearly ten feet long, was wielded by the leader of the officials with dense and flawless spear shadows, either striking horizontally or stabbing straightly, as if he were using an arm, while Chen Tang was unarmed.
In this situation, let alone running for your life, you would simply be a sitting duck and would be exhausted to death.
As for the setting that weapons appear after reciting a few words, which nails science in the coffin -
She finally knew where the horse under this guy's crotch came from.
Can this world be more unscientific
puff!
The tip of the halberd grazed her left arm and pierced into the soil, making her scalp numb. If she had reacted a little slower, this piercing blow would have definitely pierced through her heart!
"Spears, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows..."
With her life hanging by a thread, she dodged and tried her best to conjure up a weapon - although women in this world cannot cultivate the courage of martial arts and literary mind, why can't she be an exception? As a time traveler, when she encounters the hell start, she should be given a basic guarantee, right
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a stabbing spear.
The leader of the police officers mocked: "You are just ants, overestimating your own abilities!"
Chen Tang: “…”
As far as she could remember, it seemed that no one except the editor could make her feel so aggrieved! When the halberd stabbed at her again, she grabbed the tip of the halberd with her bare hands in anger and pulled it angrily.
"Is that enough?"
Nameless anger rolled and burned in his chest, stirring up a piece of text that suddenly appeared.
Her intuition told her that this passage might be the key to breaking the deadlock. The content was as follows—
The sword in the mother's hand...
