The raging fire, the falling tiles, and the frequent shouting in the Liang Mansion and on the streets covered the footsteps.
With a "woo" sound.
The suppressed barking of the dog alerted Wei Yunlan that someone was approaching from the other side of the courtyard wall.
Wei Yunlan quietly held three silver needles in one hand and a long sword in the other, then turned his body and pressed tightly against the wall.
The next moment, a figure appeared on the wall.
A man dressed like a servant climbed up the wall and looked out at the street for a few seconds, then turned back and shouted anxiously, "No one here, go this way!"
Wei Yunlan stood in the shadow, close to the wall, and the man on the wall did not notice her figure.
As he fell, Wei Yunlan quickly drew his sword and hit him directly in the chest.
The man's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that there was someone hiding here.
He opened his mouth and was about to shout, but the black cloud pounced on him and bit his throat tightly, and he could no longer struggle and move.
"Heiyun, this way." Wei Yunlan did not dare to delay for a moment. He turned around and ran to the hidden place at the corner of the alley.
Keep taking things out of the space while running.
But in just two or three breaths, hundreds of fist-sized pieces of rubble and many thorny vines appeared where she had originally stood.
Just when Wei Yunlan ran about ten steps away, the sound of weapons hitting rubble was heard on the wall.
Wei Yunlan quickened his pace and ran to the corner of the alley. Turning back, he saw four or five people jumping down from the wall.
They are quick and agile.
However, because he did not anticipate the sudden "obstacle" on the ground, he was unable to stop quickly and stumbled a little.
"How can there be these things!"
A big man was stabbed in the ankle by the sharp thorns on the vine and cursed with gritted teeth.
Wei Yunlan's expression froze.
The language of the Northern Barbarians is extremely similar to the language of Dayong, and is very close to the dialects of some places in the northern part of Dayong near the border.
The meaning is not difficult to discern, but the accent is extremely obvious.
The big man who just spoke had an accent that was clearly from outside the Great Wall!
Judging from their body shapes, these people were no different from the people from Dayong, but judging from their voices, they were obviously from outside the Great Wall. Wei Yunlan already had some guesses about their identities.
Most likely it is related to Master Nanxing, who is said to also look like someone from Dayong.
There were not only the four or five people who chose to climb over the wall here, but there were also footsteps approaching the wall.
Because he was reminded by the people in the alley outside, he slowed down his pace and did not rush out.
There are at least ten people.
Wei Yunlan has a clear understanding of his own kung fu. With the help of Heiyun, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with two or three people.
Any more would be a bit difficult.
As for the situation where the number far exceeds that by several times, it is right to temporarily avoid the limelight.
But now, she dodged, and these people were most likely heading straight for the City Affairs Office.
If my guess is correct, these dozen people are only a small part of those who sneaked into the city.
Although the City Affairs Office has a large number of staff, it also faces a lot of pressure.
It would be best if she could consume some of the enemy's strength.
With almost no hesitation, Wei Yunlan had several balls the size of a baby's fist in his hand.
Past experience in practicing hidden weapons came in handy at this moment. With a few "whoosh", more than a dozen balls hit the people who had just jumped down in the alley, the only exposed part of their bodies being their necks or foreheads.
The tightly rolled ball falls apart at the slightest touch.
The powder stained the skin and blurred the vision.
"Who?"
"hiss……"
The big man who was about to come towards Wei Yunlan with a sword in hand paused and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his neck.
I can't stop tickling you.
However, not every one of the dozen or so people was contaminated by the powder.
The two people who finally jumped down from the wall were spared. They glanced at the alley with murderous eyes and noticed the figure of Wei Yunlan who had not yet run away. They shouted sternly, "Catch her!"
This is the back alley of Liang Mansion far away from the main street.
There were few common people living in the North City of Beiguan City, especially in the streets nearby, where all the well-known and wealthy families in the city lived. In the back alleys and small roads like this, only the servants in the mansion would walk on them on weekdays.
Wei Yunlan had considered the possibility of being caught up when he just took action.
If you run along this alley, you will reach the main road outside, where a team of soldiers from the City Affairs Office are guarding it.
The people behind him were chasing very quickly, and Wei Yunlan's movements were not slow either.
However, at this moment, two figures flew up from the courtyard wall and looked down at Wei Yunlan.
If they jumped down, they would be able to block Wei Yunlan's way.
Attacked from both sides, Wei Yunlan stopped.
The black cloud beside him lowered his head and crouched forward, ready to attack.
The medicine bag in Wei Yunlan's hand had already been quietly replaced with silver needles.
Hold it tightly between your fingers, wait for the wall or the person behind you to get close, and then give them a fatal blow.
The man on the wall winked behind Wei Yunlan.
The two men who were chasing after them raised their swords and quickened their pace.
Wei Yunlan did not hesitate, turned around and shot out the four silver needles from his fingertips.
At the same time, two "whoosh" sounds were heard.
Heiyun's hair stood up, ready to pounce forward at any time to protect his master from damage that he could not avoid.
However, the "sound of breaking through the air" did not come towards Wei Yunlan.
Instead, he rushed straight towards the two men in black on the wall.
The sharp arrow tip pierced the chest of the two men.
There were two "thumps" and a black figure fell from the top of the wall.
Heiyun pounced on them immediately and breathed twice more. The two people who were still able to breathe were now completely dead.
"Miss Wei!"
Several figures emerged from the wall of another mansion behind him.
The one in the lead, dressed in red, was very eye-catching in the thick smoke. She was Qiu Yuehua, the daughter of Military Supervisor Qiu.
"Are you okay?" She ran forward, looked Wei Yunlan up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're not hurt... cough, cough cough."
Wei Yunlan pretended to take out a wet handkerchief from his sleeve, but actually from the space, and handed it to Qiu Yuehua, "Cover your mouth and nose with the handkerchief first, and don't talk too much."
Qiu Yuehua did as she was told and indeed felt better.
However, under the smoke and fire, he still felt his eyes sore. "Leave this to our guards. The smoke is too thick. Let's leave it first."
"I can't leave yet." Wei Yunlan said to Qiu Yuehua, "If it's convenient, have your people keep a close eye on this place and try to stop anyone who runs out of this mansion."
"Who are these people?" Qiu Yuehua wanted to ask just now.
"Northern barbarians." As soon as Wei Yunlan finished speaking, he heard Qiu Yuehua taking a breath.
Facing the other party's look of disbelief, Wei Yunlan nodded seriously.
"Tonight, we all have to do our part to defend this city."
