Chapter 48: The Resurrection of the Dead (Part 2)
The senior sister has been paying attention to the two of them carefully, but she has not allowed herself to act too abruptly, worried that it would attract the other party's attention.
She was able to confirm through some details that one of them was usually a woman and the other seemed to be an old man... The former seemed to have a secret injury, and there was a slight incongruity in his movements while walking.
Although the latter seemed to be old, the senior sister keenly realized that this might be a master in the martial arts world, and she was not inferior to her own master who had completely suppressed a generation of people in the martial arts world.
——A master!
If there is such an old servant who is so skilled in martial arts, who has reached the realm of transformation, but is loyal to him, it seems that it is not uncomprehensible that the princess can escape from heaven on the day of the incident.
Of course, the premise is that the woman is really the princess, otherwise everything will be just her own random thoughts and cannot be taken seriously.
Moreover, the old servant may have escaped from the prince's concubine, and in the past two months, he has avoided the strong guarantee of the pursuers many times, but at this moment it has become the biggest obstacle to his contact with the prince's concubine.
After all, both of them are probably already frightened at this moment, and any slight movement will arouse their greatest vigilance and hostility.
If anyone rashly stepped forward and revealed the identity of the princess, the next thing would be not to make a match and sincere cooperation, but to be a shocking blow from a master who had all his strength.
The eldest sister thought to herself that even she was not sure enough to take it under that situation.
Therefore, it is better not to act rashly. It is better to continue to pay attention to the observation. First, we can take this opportunity to confirm whether the other party is the princess, and second, we can wait for the right opportunity. If we help at certain critical moments, we can better gain the other party's trust.
The two of them said just now that they should be avoiding the pursuit of pursuers. This must be an excellent opportunity. As long as they help themselves and help them get rid of the pursuits.
——As for the dead, she naturally ignored it and forgot it, just pretending that she had just heard it wrong.
Because that is simply impossible. How can a dead person threaten the living master? As long as you are not a fool, you should understand this truth, so there is no need to worry too much.
At the same time, she herself needs more time to summarize the current information, consider it carefully, and formulate a plan that is as perfect as possible. She must not take it for granted and take it one step at a time.
If that happens, it is too easy to have an accident. Any sudden small accident may lead to a complete out of control of the situation.
While thinking like this, the senior sister quietly used her mind method—
In an instant, her heartbeat became smoother and her breath became quieter, as if it became extremely harmonious with the surrounding environment. She was originally silent and unobtrusive in the corner, but now it is even worse, so it can almost be said to be a little inconspicuous.
This is the characteristic of their sect's martial arts, which is in line with nature, pursues the way of heaven, and is in harmony with light and dust...
Sometimes, it is very useful in condensing breath, and even masters are difficult to detect from a certain distance.
With the help of such convenience, she gently reached out and patted her junior sister behind her back and gently awakened her, while exuding her perception as much as possible, focusing her attention in a certain direction.
She wanted to try to listen to what the two of them would say while collecting more information.
However, what was disappointing was that the two of them did not talk to each other after sitting down. They might have had some concerns or were extremely tired, so they all hurriedly ate some cooked food, drank a few sips of wine, and went straight to the second floor.
It seems that I am preparing to take a break early and leave early tomorrow morning?
The eldest sister was not disappointed, but thoughtful. When the two of them disappeared on the stairs, she also called the youngest sister to get up and walk up.
Of course, they didn't just go up and talk to each other directly. They just chose to go back to the room to rest, as if they didn't know anything.
Since the two of them will leave early tomorrow morning, they will leave early tomorrow morning. As long as they follow without any trace, they will have a chance to contact sooner or later, so there is no need to hurry up.
...
...
No words all night.
The next morning, just as the genius was dawn, the senior sister and the junior sister had already washed up, packed their luggage, and prepared to set off.
The eldest sister is still energetic, as if she is responsible for the night watch, she is resting better than the youngest sister who sleeps from the beginning until dawn... The latter originally thought that she was unfamiliar with the place, but she was nervous and she should be unable to fall asleep at night.
But the journey was exhausted and the snow was flying heavily in the cold winter. She could have a warm and dry place to rest. She had a feeling of happiness and tranquility that she had never experienced before.
Listening to the roar of the north wind outside and the sound of trees fracturing by thick snow in somewhere, she actually felt an unprecedented sense of peace of mind.
As a result, she naturally slept beautifully until dawn, and she felt that it was not enough. After waking up, she yawned repeatedly, hoping to continue staying in bed... However, she was supposed to be a turn to watch the night as a rule last night, but the elder sister didn't say anything and didn't call her.
Naturally, she is not able to make more excessive demands now, as she will appear to be too ignorant and gain more abilities.
The two did not set off immediately, but came to the lobby on the first floor to eat some food, and then waited for the target to appear. The two men with hats came down from the upper floor, but obviously did not feel like they had breakfast.
After only adding some food rations, he checked out and left. His hurried look made the eldest sister even more suspicious.
The sky outside was just shining, and when the wind and snow were slightly more severe on the road, I couldn't see the scenery a few feet away. Even those merchants and horse teams who could not get up early without profit would not choose to hurry up.
She was basically more than 90% sure that she had determined the true identities of these two people.
"It seems that the situation of the princess is not very good. In such a hurry, I am afraid that the pursuers have found the traces. Let's follow as soon as possible." The senior sister watched the figures of the two disappeared outside the door, and then stood up and spoke.
"Ah? Big... Master, do we really want to do this? Didn't the master and the others say that we should go to Antu as soon as possible and meet them?"
The little junior sister widened her eyes. It was the first time she wanted to do such a thing as following the last line. She always felt like she was doing bad things and felt extremely uneasy.
"But the master also asked us to investigate the clues of the demon sect as much as possible. Now I suspect that the princess was involved and found a way to contact him so that we could get the information from the demon sect."
The senior sister Ning Jing said calmly, but her tone was quite firm, making people know that she had made up her mind to change it easily.
The junior sister could only respond helplessly, and then followed the other party out to lead the horse and prepare to go on the road.
But just before the two of them arrived at the horse shed, they had not had time to lead the horse, and they heard the alarm bells suddenly coming from outside. In an instant, a solemn atmosphere permeated the entire town.
Immediately afterwards, the silence of the morning was broken, and every household suddenly shouted, the door opened, and then men, women, young and old rushed out with swords in their hands.
There were three or five people in each household, and a large crowd of people quickly gathered. They rushed over along the street outside the inn, shouting and shouting in the sound of alarm bells.
“…”
“…”
The eldest sister's eyes flashed, but her expression was calm, and she frowned slightly, not knowing what she thought of. The youngest sister widened her eyes and opened her mouth. She probably had never seen such a magical scene before, and she couldn't react at all.
"Is this... this fight? Are these people really not afraid of the government at all?"
Until now, she finally fully believed that the words her senior sister said to her last night seemed to be from the same clan as the people in the entire castle, otherwise how could they be so in harmony?
But this large-scale armed fight was a disaster. She remembered that when she was in the capital, most people carried weapons on the streets, which was enough for half of the city's constables to hear the news.
Such large-scale armed fights involving hundreds of people can alarm official organizations such as Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and even let the court personally question the crime. Even the prefect of the local yamen will have a life-threatening life.
"Where did the government come from here? This is the northern part of the country, and it is naturally incomparable to Kaifeng and Tokyo... And this should not be a fight, I'm afraid there are horse thieves or other foreign enemies coming, or..."
The senior sister shook her head gently and said.
Her expression was moved, not only thinking about something, but after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind-
"Let's go! Let's go over and take a look. If I guess correctly, it's probably because the princess is in trouble. This is our chance!"
"Eh? Opportunity?!"
...
...
"Mr. Zhang's head! What do you mean today?"
At the same time, on the street in front of the Tumbler gate, the townsmen held various weapons in their hands and surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside. A burly man seemed to be the leader and took a step forward and shouted.
The confrontation with them were hundreds of cavalrymen, all wearing escort clothing, which was the largest escort agency in the local area.
It is no wonder that the people in the castle were facing a great enemy. Hundreds of cavalry rushed in early in the morning. No wonder they thought about this formation too much.
"It's okay! Master Zhou, our Fuwei Escort Agency has no intention of offending today, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of Zhoujiabao. He just wants to ask Master Zhou to do some convenience and don't shelter the traitors of our Escort Agency..."
A cavalryman stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Traitors... Wait, could it be Lin Pao and the others?" Master Zhou was slightly stunned, and then looked at the open space on the other side with some disbelief.
There were also two people confronting each other. One was two people wearing hats, and the other was obviously a team of people from the Fuwei Escort Agency, which was the same famous Lin Escort Head.
But...traitor?
