Chapter 823 Escape
"Someone who once promised to help you?"

Qiu Chan looked at Tang Jiao: "Who is it?"

However, Tang Jiao had no way to answer her.

She gripped the hilt of the sword, lowered her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Master..."

She cried softly, "Have a safe journey..."

Qiu Chan sighed softly.

She did not continue to ask Tang Jiao questions, but turned her gaze to Yuan Ziping.

Of course, Yuan Ziping also heard what Qingsongzi on the sword said, and his face turned a little ugly: "Qiu, Miss Qiu, what should we do?"

"Break it into parts."

Qiu Chan said in a deep voice: "Qing Zhou can't come back, and even Qing Songzi... I'm afraid the situation is going to change. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Old Yuan, tell everyone in the house to pack up your belongings and go home immediately, and never mention having worked in the Fu family again, including you..."

"no!"

Yuan Ziping was startled and interrupted her: "I have already sold my life to you, you must not..."

"Don't say that again."

Qiu Chan also interrupted him and said calmly: "I am very tired now. I have to escape next, so I really don't have time to persuade you... As long as there is green mountains, there will be no shortage of firewood. Protect yourself and wait for the day of reunion."

Yuan Ziping looked slightly gloomy, but still lowered his head: "Yes."

At this time, Tang Jiao also recovered a little.

She wiped the tears from her face, drew the sword with great ease, walked slowly to Qiu Chan, and said softly: "The one that Master is talking about... must be the old man who gave me a copper coin a few months ago."

Qiu Chan frowned slightly: "Who?"

"That's it..."

Tang Jiao quickly recounted what had happened. That time in front of Nan Mu's grave, the unknown old man gave her and Hua Wuying a copper coin each, telling them to go to him for help when they needed it.

"Shisong Hutong Street in the northwest?" Yuan Ziping, who was standing by, was startled when he heard the name of the place: "Aren't those the residences of high-ranking officials in the court?"

Qiu Chan's eyes lit up: "So, the old man is indeed someone of status... Don't think too much about it, let's get going immediately!"

Tang Jiao nodded vigorously.

Yuan Ziping also sighed, then turned around and waved to the servants, maids, and guards who were already stunned by the shock. "Call everyone over, I'm going to call a meeting... Never mind, never mind, let's not have a meeting. Pass the word down, everyone pack up and leave immediately. Before you leave, come to me to collect your monthly salary. Quick! Run!"

Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao looked at each other, with some sadness and helplessness in their eyes.

Although they had guessed that the situation might not be good, and had prepared a large amount of talisman paper in advance, and were prepared for fighting and escaping, when this day finally came, they were still...

"not good!"

At this moment, Yuan Ziping, who had just left, suddenly came back and shouted, "The patrol camp has broken in!"

……

In the courtyard of Fu’s house.

A general from the patrol camp, fully armored and armed with a sword, was striding into the yard with a sullen face.

Behind him, a large group of soldiers followed. They stepped on the bodies of the guards who had just been killed, and raised their spears and swords without hesitation, slashing at the other servants and maids around them!

In just a few blinks of an eye, several more people were killed.

The general looked around and shouted, "Turn this house upside down and kill all the family members of the traitor Fu Qingzhou! Leave no one alive!"

His men responded with a roar and scattered in all directions with grim smiles on their faces.

Just then, a yellow rain suddenly fell before their eyes.

No, that was not rain, but a handful of yellow talismans scattered all over the place!
The soldiers were all shocked and dared not delay. They swung their swords and chopped at the yellow talismans. But the next moment, the yellow talismans suddenly exploded with lightning arcs. The arcs passed along the swords and exploded on the soldiers, making them scream in pain! Including the general, he was also instantly hit by several yellow talismans, and his skin was torn apart by the electric shock!

Not only that.

Just as the yellow talisman fell and began to release arcs of electricity, two more spirit swords came whistling.

They were like swimming fish or thin needles, their tracks were hard to discern and unpredictable, and their speed was incredibly fast. As soon as the whistling sound arose, the spirit swords had already shuttled to the other side, and in the blink of an eye, they skillfully cut out a large area of ​​blood in the ranks of the soldiers!
The two spiritual swords prioritized the soldiers who had just killed people. In less than three or four breaths, they had knocked down four or five people, and then stabbed at the general.

But this general is no ordinary man.

Although he was severely shocked by the thunder talisman just now, he reacted quickly. With a muffled groan, the true energy in his body surged and he forcibly shook off the talismans. Facing the two spiritual swords that were stabbing at him, he swung his sword and blocked them!

"Raising troops and forming a battle formation!"

he shouted.

The soldiers who were still able to react quickly followed suit, and then a small bloody mark instantly appeared between their brows.

Military tactics!

With a humming sound, an extremely masculine blood energy spread out in all directions, instantly shattering the yellow talismans attached to their bodies and weapons. The two spirit swords were also blown away by the air wave, and after spinning in the air, they quickly flew away.

The general narrowed his eyes.

He noticed...the other party had no intention of fighting.

In the brief moment when we entangled these people, no one was left around.

"They can't get far in such a short time!"

The general waved his hand vigorously: "Teams of ten, spread out to search! If you meet someone with cultivation, don't be arrogant, immediately form a battle array! Pay attention, block all back doors, check all places where there may be secret passages... Don't let anyone escape!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded with a roar, taking heavy steps and quickly dispersing in all directions.

About a hundred steps away, in a small courtyard.

clank!

With two sword sounds, the magic sword flew back into Tang Jiao's sleeve.

She glanced at Qiu Chan anxiously and supported her: "Are you okay?"

"It's... okay, but I activated too many talismans at once, and I'm a little... tired..." Qiu Chan held her temple, trembling, but still managed to say: "We have done what we can... Let's go..."

With tears in her eyes, Tang Jiao helped her up and went into the room in the courtyard.

They had no time to pack their valuables.

The only things he brought with him were the pile of talisman papers he had written in the study and the sword that Qingsongzi had given him - at this moment, it was temporarily wrapped in cloth and carried on Tang Jiao's back.

Secret passage: Of course there are, and more than one.

For someone like Fu Qingzhou, who has his own big house, how could he not have some secret passages and secret rooms? It's just that he lived here for too short a time, so he didn't have time to arrange many things.

But he had made arrangements for things like secret passages before leaving the capital, and Tang Jiao and Yuan Ziping had also made a lot of arrangements over the past few months - now, Yuan Ziping must have also taken some other servants and maids and slipped away into another secret passage.

However, the patrol camp came with the attitude of raiding a house, and even if there was a secret passage, it would be discovered quickly by them.

The so-called secret passage can only delay the escape time a little bit.

"The people from the patrol camp have already started to carry out large-scale raids and murders in the city..."

Tang Jiao helped Qiu Chan and crawled into the secret passage under the bed in the house. She heard the sound of soldiers breaking into the courtyard outside. She did not dare to be negligent and could only try her best not to make any noise.

But it was hard for her to imagine how chaotic the situation outside was right now.
The tiles in the secret passage closed silently, blocking out the noise outside.

After this departure, I don’t know what the future holds.
