Jun Ruoxue thought for a mont but it seed unlikely!
How could a human figure possibly move with such haste?
Could it just be a big bird flying by, mistaking it for a human figure because of blurry vision!
"Young lady, our people saw Lord Su seemingly returning from outside and went straight to his own room. Put simply, Lord Su was not in the house earlier, logically Doctor Su should have accomplished the job."
Her personal maidservant hurriedly said, "Only I don’t know why she hasn’t co out yet."
"Even if it causes a problem for Brother Chen, I still must go and save Sister Pan’er."
Jun Ruoxue gritted her teeth and still headed toward Su Sikong’s residence!
"Miss, you can’t go, you mustn’t ..."
The maidservant hurried to stop her, but could not prevent Jun Ruoxue from advancing, so she quickly followed.
Su Sikong ca out of the kitchen in a fury and headed straight for Su Yue’er’s residence.
After such an incident, Su Yue’er naturally could not sleep. Seeing Su Sikong co in, she quickly greeted him, "Father, what happened? Have you found out?"
"Nothing major. However, it seems like soone intentionally started a fire. Yue’er, are you okay?"
Su Sikong was sowhat anxious and hastily entered.
"Father, you... what are you doing?"
Su Yue’er said in a very tender voice, "Inside it’s Yue’er’s boudoir, you...."
"Haha! Your father was just overly anxious for a mont."
Su Sikong’s eyes sparkled, "Alas! Your father checked just now, the blaze had not started from the kitchen. There was a heavy sll of paint over there, I presu soone deliberately lit a fire to distract us. That’s why I worried about my Yue’er!"
"Yue’er is perfectly fine! Hehe!"
Su Yue’er giggled twice, stood up and twirled around, "Father, you see... Yue’er is fine, right?"
Su Sikong could not help but burst into laughter, "Yes, yes, my Yue’er is perfectly fine, all is well, hahaha ..."
Before the words were finished, a shadow swiftly swept past behind Su Yue’er’s room and rapidly jumped onto the wall.
"Who’s there?"
"Quick, chase him!"
"There’s an assassin, catch the assassin! Alert!"
Su Sikong was noticeably alard and imdiately pursued to find a shadow darting in and out of the huddle of soldiers.
The other was clad in dark clothes, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, his figure tall and lanky, showing no signs of fear as he was surrounded by soldiers.
The soldiers were carrying spears and swords surrounding him tightly, yet he managed to ward off all attacks singlehandedly with just a spear!
This martial art skills were utterly astonishing!
Su Sikong’s face turned pale!
This thief had run out from behind Yue’er’s room!
"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone, get him for , tear him to shreds!"
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers rushed forward in unison, the number swiftly growing.
The enemy was noticeably feeling the increase in pressure and gradually began to retreat. He was gradually forced into the narrow corner of the pavilion corridor, weakening the advantage of the soldiers.
"Idiots, you idiots, don’t you know to use arrows if you can’t get close? Shoot him, shoot him dead!"
Su Sikong roared.
"Yes, archers, get ready!"
In response to the call, soon a group of soldiers stepped forward, aiming their bows at the figure surrounded in the middle.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
An arrow whizzed through the night sky, all aiming directly for the figure in the middle.
The shadow seed to have trouble coping with the situation, noisily swirling the spear to block the multitude of arrows.
But one cannot fight against such numbers!
He carelessly allowed a swift arrow to pierce directly through his left shoulder.
"Uh!"
He let out a suppressed groan, his movent noticeably slower.
The surrounding soldiers were imdiately elated, their attacks becoming more frequent.
The situation was extrely dire!
This sound...
Even under the cover of the surrounding din, the always sensitive Su Yue’er trembled involuntarily!
Her face filled with disbelief as she stared at the shadow. The more she looked, the more familiar the shadow seed. The more she looked, the more it resembled a person, the doubt in her eyes becoming more apparent.
Could it be...
At this mont, another shadow, with a "whoosh", shot out from the room, almost brushing past Su Yue’er, and quickly sped towards another direction.
It was heading to kill the archers on the periphery.
The sudden incident instantly disrupted everyone’s formation, causing a great chaos.
The shadow fought while retreating, gradually leading the soldiers to the other side of the pavilion, and sprinted forward.
"Not good! The thief has accomplices!"
Lord Su’s face drastically changed, he roared, "Hurry up and catch them all! Don’t let one escape!"
The soldiers acting in unison divided into two groups, surrounding the two n.
The two figures in black coordinated seamlessly, the distance between them increasing as they fought, scattering the soldiers on both sides.
"Capture them, ready the crossbows!"
Seeing the two battling while escaping, Lord Su beca anxious and imdiately gave the order.
Upon hearing this, Su Yue’er quickly tried to stop him, "No! Father, have you forgotten that yesterday you recklessly used a crossbow, and Magistrate Cao was furious? Now you want to use them again, I’m afraid..."
"It’s a critical ti, I can’t take that into account!"
Lord Su, in his urgency, continued to direct his n.
"But Father..."
Su Yue’er was about to say sothing, but Lord Su cut her off!
"Enough! Stop talking!"
Lord Su seed to have more on his mind, "These two people ran out from your boudoir, I haven’t asked you about this yet. You stay inside properly. When I’m done dealing with this matter, I will co to deal with you!"
His words greatly upset Su Yue’er!
She stomped her foot angrily!
"Father..."
But Lord Su had no interest in listening and chased after the retreating soldiers, shouting, "Hurry up! Stop standing around! Crossbown, quick! Catch a few people! Fast!"
He desperately wanted to capture the two, but the two n in black clearly didn’t give him a chance. They instead engaged in fierce combat and made their way straight to the courtyard wall, and with collaboration, they both leapt onto the wall.
The crossbown quickly fired their bolts!
But the arrows could not catch up with the adversaries, who had already jumped down the wall and disappeared.
The soldiers lacked the skill to leap onto the wall. By the ti they rounded the wall, the two n had already vanished without a trace.
The escape of the two aggravated Lord Su!
He roared in rage!
"Damn it! These thieves are so bold! Daring to attack within the county governnt office! Seal off the city gates and search house by house! They are already injured and cannot escape. Even if I need to dig three feet into the ground, I will find these two n!"
"Yes, sir!"
It was already nightfall, the city gates had been closed since it got dark.
The soldiers were tasked to search house by house.
As the soldiers were about to leave, a clear female voice echoed, "Deputy County Magistrate Su is really capable! In the middle of the night, causing trouble and wasting resources, not only using war resources without permission, but now even conducting a city-wide search without a search warrant. You’re really capable!"
As the voice died down, Jun Ruoxue, with a slight smile on her face, slowly approached, accompanied by several maidservants holding lanterns.
