The weight on my arm suddenly sank.
At the last moment before the person in his arms completely lost consciousness, Qi Xu seemed to hear her whisper in a low, hoarse voice, "Leave quickly."
The sound of the door opening behind me reached my ears.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a wooden box in the middle of the secret room.
Qi Xu swung his hand and the dagger in his sleeve flew towards the wooden box. Then he turned around, tapped the ground with his toes, and jumped lightly along the way he came, holding the person in his arms and jumped out of the cave.
Only three breaths of time passed from the time he jumped down without hesitation to the time he left.
“Stand back.”
Qi Xu did not hand the person in his arms to his men. He held the person in his arms with one hand on his knees and the other hand on his back, and led the person in his arms back to the opposite direction of the tower. At the same time, he ordered, "No one is allowed to enter the tower. If anyone is found coming out, they will be killed on the spot!"
"yes."
The dozens of people Qi Xu brought, in addition to the Tianshu Pavilion guards who usually protected him, were also the strongest among his troops.
Dozens of people surrounded the tower, with someone guarding almost every one or two steps.
As long as someone comes out of the tower, they will be discovered by them at the first moment.
The wind and snow were howling.
There seemed to be the sound of horse hooves in the distance, rushing towards this side.
Those were the two thousand troops that Qi Xu had previously asked Feng Ping to mobilize.
He wanted to see how the people in the tower escaped!
The man in black in the tower naturally noticed the situation outside.
The old man with gray hair had an unsightly expression, but there seemed to be a hint of relief in his eyes.
From the bottom of the stairs, the sound of swords breaking through the air continued to be heard. The black-clad woman who had gone down earlier and the two people who had entered the secret room with her were no longer moving.
Combined with the previous scene on the steps outside the secret room, the scene inside does not seem difficult to guess.
Up to now, nearly half of the people they had sent from the capital had been lost...
However, none of the purposes of this trip were accomplished.
"Mr. Wei." Several men in black standing on the stairs looked at the white-haired old man with inquiring eyes.
The previous person in charge is in danger, so what to do next must be determined by the old man.
But no matter how it was arranged, the plan had been disrupted.
Although they didn't know how they did it, since King You had already escaped from the tower with the girl from the Wei family, all the preparations they had made before were useless, and they lost so many people in vain!
"Continue as planned."
Old Wei lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding the expression in his eyes.
As a secret guard, being loyal to the master and carrying out the tasks assigned by the master are rules engraved in our bones and cannot be violated under any circumstances.
But this may be their last mission.
Okay, okay.
"action."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man and eight other people rushed out of the tower through the window and the small door.
At the same time, the remaining few people quickly rushed to the top of the tower.
"Release the arrow."
The men Qi Xu brought with him were already prepared.
Every time a figure left the tower, several arrows would quickly chase after it.
However, those figures were so fast that only two of the nine people were hit by arrows on their arms or shoulders.
Even if they were scratched, it would not have much impact on their mobility.
What a terrifying power!
Wei Mingxuan, who was riding on horseback at the outermost position and also holding a bow and arrow, shot three arrows in succession, but they missed. He then saw that the arrows of the Tianshu Pavilion guards beside him had also missed.
Two figures jumped out of the window from their direction, moving nimbly among the rain of arrows. Even in the air, they could twist their bodies to avoid arrows shot from different directions, which made people feel frightened.
Now he vaguely understood why his elder sister risked her life to allow King You to capture this group of people as soon as possible.
If such a skilled person were still in Beiguan, no matter who he was targeting, he would definitely be a big hidden danger...
It's bad weather tonight with wind and snow.
Previously, it seemed to be an obstacle in their search for the whereabouts of their eldest sister.
Looking at it now, isn't this a good opportunity to take down this group of people in one fell swoop?
I have to say.
His elder sister is really brave!
What a great ability!
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer.
A large force is coming soon.
Qi Xu knew that it would be difficult to keep all of them with the current men. What they were doing now was more about holding them back.
He judged that there should not be too many people left in the tower. Excluding the nine people who jumped out of the tower and attacked him, there would definitely not be more than ten people left.
Or even less.
After all, the brave and careful Miss Wei had already helped him solve some of the problems.
Tonight, he was determined to keep all these people.
It would be better to not let Miss Wei down for taking this risk and not leave any hidden dangers for the future.
Originally, he had sent an additional team of people to rush to the newly discovered exit of the secret passage.
Now it seems that it may not be useful anymore.
This group of people in front of me... don't look like they want to escape.
Instead, it seemed as if he wanted to use all his strength to pull him down and die together with him!
He was holding them back.
Isn't this what they were thinking?
Those men in black who jumped out of the tower from other directions clearly wanted to attract the attention of his other men and create an opportunity for those who really came to take his life.
Seeing the gray-haired, thin man in black who jumped out of the tower first, coming straight towards him,
Qi Xu took off the cloak behind him, wrapped the person in his arms tightly, and sent him to the back.
"Protect Miss Wei and Master Wei."
Qi Xu felt relieved when he saw the black dog that had been following him followed the figure wrapped in the cloak to where Wei Mingxuan was behind.
