Chapter 627 The Escaped Slave
After leaving the Colosseum, the few of them did not continue to wander around, but went straight back to the inn.
None of the four slave farms in Yicheng is a good place, and the group has no interest in seeing those dark and stinking places again.
"Chi Le pursued us throughout the territory, only opening a gap in Yicheng to let us in. The people in Yicheng clearly recognized us, yet they didn't take any action. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary." After going upstairs and returning to the room, Xiao Maisui was still frowning in thought, "But Chi Le is abnormal, why are the people in Yicheng also abnormal? There must be a powerful force behind them to be able to set up a scene here. Logically, after recognizing us as the wanted criminals of Chi Le, they should arrest us and take credit for it... Are they really afraid that they can't defeat us?"
Unable to figure it out for a moment, she pestered Tian Bao, "Sister, what do you think?"
Tian Bao patted her head. "When the enemy comes, we will fight them with our generals. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. We came to Yicheng to rest for a while and re-plan the route and method of sneaking into the royal city. If there are no complications, we will continue to act according to the plan. If there are complications, we will eliminate them and continue to act according to the plan."
Little Wheat Ear bows in admiration. My sister has always been so simple and straightforward, so there is no worry.
Bai Yu sat lazily beside him, smiling as he listened to Tian Bao fooling his junior sister.
Branches are bound to grow.
Of course, they must fight.
The Xiongnu spy, Jin Zhanggui, who was captured by the Humans, had a wolf claw tattoo on his lower chest, indicating that the Xiongnu was involved in the extermination of the Huo family.
He and Tianbao speculated that when the nine countries attacked the Huo family, Xiongnu spies mixed in and massacred the Huo family members.
Therefore, they had to go to the Xiongnu royal city.
"It's such a big city, but you can't find any place to play. It's really boring. It's not as fun as the mountain den." The old man Du had a sad face, and his disdain for Yicheng turned into contempt.
He can also go up the mountain to dig herbs and catch snakes.
This Yicheng is really not to his liking in any way.
Grandpa will never come to this damn place again.
"Bai Xiaofeng, you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go to the pharmacy with grandpa?"
Bai Xiaofeng didn't give him face, "No."
"Go ahead, you have money! Otherwise, grandpa wouldn't call you!"
"Do you treat me as a money bag?"
"Or is it just to show off to you? Go ahead, respect the elderly, ah——!"
They were bickering happily when there was a sudden creaking sound from the window inside, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. He suppressed a groan.
The small hall immediately became quiet, and a chilling atmosphere spread.
The people sitting around the table all looked towards the inner room.
The upstairs room of the inn is a suite. There is a small hall at the entrance. One side of the hall is separated by a black-blue tasseled curtain. Behind the curtain is the bedroom.
The sound came from the bedroom.
The old man was so angry that he narrowed his triangular eyes and sneered, then rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the bedroom. "Dogecoin, you dare to sneak into my granddaughter's room? Grandpa will kill her - Oh, mother, feed me!"
The five people sitting outside were still, looking up at the sky and holding their foreheads.
Everyone guessed who it was that had sneaked in at this time, but in a moment, the air was filled with the smell of blood brought by that person.
It was probably the slave who escaped from the Colosseum, or the food for the fighting beasts.
The old man had guessed it by now, his mouth twitching. He stood by the curtain, glaring at the bloody figure lying beneath the window, looking him up and down. "In such a big Yicheng, why did you have to run to my granddaughter's room? Are you waiting for me to peel off another layer of skin from you? Hey, kid, do you still have any skin left?"
It's no wonder he was suspicious. The human figure in front of him looked like a blurry mass of flesh and blood, as if it had just been skinned by a living being.
Otherwise he wouldn't have been so scared.
The man lay there without saying a word, his eyelids tightly closed and motionless, his chest barely rising or falling, apparently having fallen into a coma.
"Stinky old man, I'm afraid he can't answer you. Look at him, he's barely breathing and will die soon." Little Wheat Ear walked over and peeked in. "In the whole world, your medical skills are probably the only ones who can keep him alive for a few more seconds."
"You look down on me? If I take action, he'll be resurrected even if he's dead!" The old man snorted, threw a medicine bottle out, and ordered in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, clean up all the traces."
"Okay." Su Wu responded, took the medicine bottle and threw it down. Without saying a word, he sprinkled medicine powder out of the window of the room along the bloodstains dripping from the fighting slave.
He was wearing a wide-sleeved jacket and his movements were extremely fast. At first glance, it looked like he was waving his sleeves to sweep away the broken snow outside the window.
The bloodstain left outside the room by Dou Nu when he climbed up quickly changed color after being stained by the powder, turning snow-white in the blink of an eye and melting into the white snow.
When Su Wu climbed back through the window, the bloody man had been moved to the bed, and the old man was cleaning the bloody man and treating his wounds by the bed.
The two girls have been kicked out.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't come in because he thought the smell was bad.
Bai Yu was waiting by the side to help.
"Grandpa Du, the bloodstains near the inn have been cleaned up, but we can only delay the process for a moment. The pursuers will find us sooner or later." Su Wu stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, took the cloth towel from the old man's hand, and wiped the bloodstains with the ice water beside the bed.
"A moment or two is enough." The old man did not raise his eyebrows, and his hands did not stop moving. After picking up the identity of a doctor, the aura he exuded was completely different from usual.
Serious and calm, focused and immersed.
Bai Yu and Su Wu fell silent.
In the small hall outside, Little Mai Sui deliberately sat across from her sister so they could talk face to face. "The fighting slaves in the North District Arena were all once children of nobles. They were thrown into the arena by former political enemies. Whether it's the North Arena Master, the East Arena Master, or anyone else, they will definitely not let the fighting slaves leave Yicheng alive. There must be more than just the East Arena hunting down the fighting slaves out there right now."
She sighed, "Saving him is like saving a big trouble."
Tian Bao smiled and teased, "If you find it troublesome, why bother to provoke Grandpa Du to save people?"
"...It was the old man who wanted to save him, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for my provocation." The little girl pouted and shifted the blame.
Bai Xiaofeng subconsciously opened his folding fan and fanned himself. The wind was so cold that he shivered. His face darkened with anger. "No matter who wants to save me, just leave me alone. I'm not as kind as you guys."
"Don't bother you. Godfather has been holding his breath for a long time today. I will let you have a good fight later. Don't hold back." Su Tianbao looked as well-behaved as when he was a child when he squinted his eyes.
Bai Xiaofeng was so angry that his face turned even darker. "You little bitch, you just take advantage of the fact that I won't be angry with you!"
Tianbao's eyes curved even more, "Godfather."
"……"spit!
"Haha! Save him to the end, Uncle Changdong, who told you to be in the same group with us?"
The two girls were not young at all, but they were acting naughty and coquettishly, and it was hard to get angry at them.
Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips and hummed softly.
What else can he do?
In other words, the child who grew up under his care can move Bai Xiaofeng.
snort.
The noise of the pursuit has spread to the streets around the inn, and it won’t be long before they’re led here.
Beat them, they'll always cause trouble wherever they go.
