The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 572

[Chapter 572 You are still far behind]

. “Yes.”

Zhao Yan nodded lightly.

Fang Xiu looked at the guards who were still patrolling not far away, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he said: “I will listen to you.”

The four of them just avoided the guards’ sight and moved little by little. Arrive at the location of the drainage channel.

There are still big differences between the drainage channels of this era and modern sewers. The most obvious one is the volume they contain.

Modern sewers are large enough to accommodate two or three people walking side by side, but this drainage channel can barely pass one person, and he must crawl forward.

Not only that, because no one has cleaned it all year round, it exudes a stench that is disgusting.

Even though Fang Xiu was mentally prepared, standing in front of the drainage channel, he still felt nauseous.

However, now they have no other way to enter the harem except this method.

“I’m going first, you guys follow closely and don’t fall behind.”

Fang Xiu looked at the drainage channel in front of him, then at the three people behind him, gritted his teeth and said.

Then, he held his breath, lay down, and got up in the still damp drainage ditch.

Zhao Yan and Liu Qing looked at each other and followed behind without any hesitation.

Because he had no experience and the smell was really unpleasant, even Liu Qing, who had suffered all kinds of inhuman torture, did not move too fast.

Only the old woman seemed to be used to such scenes. Even in the drainage channel, she maintained her original demeanor.

After about one or two sticks of incense, the four of them climbed out from the other end of the drainage channel.

Just like where they stood at the beginning, there was no one guarding the exit of the drainage channel, and no one could even be seen for a hundred or two hundred meters nearby.

Fang Xiu got up from the ground, maintained a half-crouched position, and held back so as not to vomit.

Zhao Yan, who came from behind, couldn’t help but vomited out as soon as she came out of the drainage ditch.

In the end, Liu Qing and the old woman naturally looked calm.

When Liu Qing was imprisoned in Fang Mansion, the smell of the place where she lived was not much better than the sewer, so she was so indifferent.

Zhao Yan vomited for a while, breathed in the fresh air, and finally A little better, at least I no longer vomit all the time.

Like Fang Xiu, she squatted half-crouched in the corner, breathing in fresh air with a very painful expression.

Fang Xiu gave her some time to adjust, and then asked: “Yan’er, where are we?”

Zhao Yan heard his voice, raised her eyes and looked around, her eyes gradually becoming clear from confusion.

“I was here last month. I know where my father is being held. Come with me.”

Zhao Yan said softly, then stood up and walked slowly in one direction.

Fang Xiu and Liu Qing naturally followed behind.

The three of them were cautious, fearing that they would accidentally attract the attention of the guards.

Of course, no matter how crazy Prince Ning is, he still needs the most basic dignity.

Therefore, there are not many guards in the harem, but occasionally one or two guys wearing eunuch costumes can be seen patrolling around.

When Fang Xiu and the others met, they were naturally careful to avoid them.

Because it was already late at night, the little eunuchs who were patrolling were all very sleepy and confused, and they could not notice that there were still a few people hiding behind the trees.

Fang Xiu and the four of them just avoided the sight of the eunuchs and arrived in front of a separate courtyard.

Hiding behind a tree, looking at the annex, a new question posed in front of Fang Xiu and the others.

There was a group of guards standing in front of the annex, six or seven of them, all wearing heavy armor. , didn’t seem to feel tired at all, he must have just finished his shift.

“What should I do?”

Zhao Yan was a little overwhelmed when she saw this scene. She looked at Fang Xiu and asked in a low voice.

Fang Xiu looked at the guards, pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Qing and winked at her.

Liu Qing understood immediately, used Qinggong, and climbed up the tree in a few steps.

Looking into the courtyard under the moonlight, I could vaguely see a figure, it was indeed the emperor!

Fang Xiu stood under the tree and saw Liu Qing nodding towards him.

He turned to look at the guards in front of the courtyard gate with a ruthless expression on his face. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said, “Now that the situation has come to a point, we can only forcefully grab it!”

After saying that, he looked behind Zhao Yan.

“Senior, what do you think?”

The old woman looked at the guards in front of her and was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded and said only one word: “Okay.”

After saying that, her figure disappeared instantly, and the next second, He actually appeared in front of the guards.

The guards watched helplessly as a person suddenly appeared in front of them. They all looked horrified and subconsciously wanted to draw their swords. They even forgot to shout.

However, these guards are all Prince Ning’s soldiers. In terms of strength, they may not even be as good as the personal guards, let alone masters at the master level.

The old woman flicked her sleeves, and several hidden weapons like stones flew out from it, flying straight towards the guards like arrows.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled sound was heard.

A total of six guards, even wearing heavy armor, had no chance to react, and they hit the ground heavily.

The sound of hitting the ground is not too small, but it can only be heard in this area, and it cannot be heard clearly if it is farther away.

When Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan saw this scene, they looked at each other and could see the joy in each other’s eyes.

The two of them walked out of the tree together and headed into the other courtyard.

Zhao Yan even wanted to call out ‘Father’.

At this moment, the old woman said in a deep voice: “Don’t move!”

Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan stopped immediately.

But in the direction of the courtyard gate, I don’t know when there was a middle-aged swordsman holding a sharp sword.

“Who are you?”

The middle-aged swordsman raised his sword eyebrows slightly, his eyes stayed on Fang Xiu and the other three for a moment, and asked.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he hurriedly pulled Zhao Yan back a few steps, leaving enough space between the old woman and the swordsman.

Although he didn’t know what kind of strength this middle-aged swordsman was.

But

generally speaking, such a unique way of appearing is definitely not a good thing!

If he were given a background music and the sentence “If God had not given birth to me XXX, the way of swordsmanship would be like a long night”.

Fang Xiu was afraid that he would just pull Zhao Yan and run away.

It’s a pity that this middle-aged swordsman just said such a plain sentence, and his whole person became solemn.

A pair of eyes also looked directly at the old woman.

At the same time, he asked again: “Who are you?”

The difference of one word has a completely different meaning.

If there was some contempt when he asked the question before, now he is on guard.

The old woman looked at him as well, as if she recognized his identity, and said slowly: “If you are your master, you are still qualified to fight with me, but you are still far away.”
