Faced with such a situation, Qin Yining's expression could not help but turn serious.
Lu Heng was not an ordinary person, and he had other thoughts about her. Naturally, he would pay more attention to her. Qin Yining did not know about others. Anyway, if she was facing someone she cared about, no matter how the other party disguised themselves, she would be able to recognize them immediately even if she could only see their back view.
She clenched her fingers nervously.
This time, she only rubbed her skin until it darkened a little. It was not as unrecognizable as when Xie Yue disguised her. She did not dare to take the risk in front of Lu Heng. If Lu Heng had the chance, he would definitely kidnap her again. At that time, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with Pang Xiao?
"Master, what should we do?" Ji Yun's lowered voice was very tense.
Qin Yining pursed her lips and said softly, "Find a chance to escape."
The citizens gradually approached the place where they were being interrogated. The neighbors and relatives were anxiously testifying for each other. Even the citizens who had passed the interrogation and could prove themselves did not leave immediately. Instead, they stood not far away to watch in case anyone was left behind.
Most of the citizens were obedient, but a small number of people were still unconvinced.
Even after the other party killed one to warn the others, there were still some knowledgeable and courageous citizens who questioned, "What are you doing? How much better are you than the incapable ruler of Bei Ji? "
"Are you disregarding the safety of the citizens and trying to usurp the throne?"
There were even those who were loyal to Da Zhou who refused to submit. They straightened their necks and shouted, "Surnamed Lu, aren't you afraid that your future generations will be mocked by your actions?!"
Lu Heng stood at a high place and could not help but laugh when he heard these words. "Future generations? The Lu family has already been harmed to this extent by the incapable ruler. How can we have future generations? I think you are a spy by the incapable ruler's side! Arrest him! "
"Yes." Lu Heng's soldiers were well-trained. They immediately shouted in unison. They directly tied up the person who spoke and brought him to the side.
Seeing that Lu Heng did not continue to kill, many citizens quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Yining's expression became even more solemn.
If Lu Heng went on a killing spree as soon as he arrived, it meant that he only wanted to avenge the Lu Clan and did not necessarily have the intention to rebel. But now, Qin Yining was even more certain that he was after more than that! Otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately changed his image among the common people after establishing his power.
From the looks of it, there was no point in waiting any longer.
Qin Yining ordered the people around him to rush out as soon as there was a chance.
Just as Liao Zhibing and Jing Zhe were carefully observing and looking for an opportunity, there was a commotion from the direction of the city.
Qin Yining clearly saw that Lu Heng's face stiffened for a moment after hearing the report from the people standing at a high place. Soon after, Jing Zhe and the others noticed that the soldiers guarding the outer perimeter, which were not very important, were quietly retreating. They seemed to be heading towards the city.
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat. He immediately said, "Now!"
Liao Zhibing and the other brothers from the Qingtian Alliance reacted quickly. They immediately shouted, "We can't just let this go. Lu Heng clearly wants to kill us! Folks, run! "
The citizens were already worried. Regardless of whether or not they could completely understand Lu Heng's actions and their situation, one thing was clear. Lu Heng was not someone who wouldn't kill civilians. If he killed people, he could just pin a more convincing crime on them. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't be punished?
With someone taking the lead, there would be others who would follow. The citizens who were originally obediently waiting to be interrogated began to make a ruckus again. The crowd pushed and shoved as they rushed out.
Qin Yining and the others took the opportunity to mix in with the crowd and also rushed out in a panic.
A portion of Lu Heng's men had been sent away, so the encirclement was not as tight as it was at the beginning. Qin Yining and the others chose the weakest point to attack and quickly rushed out of the encirclement with the other citizens.
The citizens were in such a mess that Lu Heng felt like his head was in a mess. He hurriedly ordered people to stop them. However, he couldn't order people to kill them.
Killing a few people could be used as a deterrent, but if he started a massacre, wouldn't the citizens of Huichuan County become his enemies in the future? That would make it difficult to control them.
Therefore, Lu Heng could only order people, "Try your best to capture them. Don't kill them."
With this sentence, Qin Yining and the others couldn't kill the other party's soldiers. In addition, Qin Yining's men were all elites, and the other party's abilities were mixed. They quickly found an opening to escape.
Lu Heng turned around and looked at the chaotic crowd. He saw the familiar figure wrapped in a group of people and running out.
His heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly ordered the people around him, "Chase after them! Bring that woman back to me! "
His subordinates immediately responded and rushed in the direction Lu Heng pointed. Only a small number of people were left to continue the interrogation.
Although the citizens had the advantage in numbers, after Lu Heng ordered people to kill two people to intimidate the crowd, the citizens who were afraid of death didn't dare to take the lead. They weren't "suspicious people". They were just proving each other's identities. If they wanted to interrogate them, then so be it.
Everyone swallowed their anger and cooperated.
The commotion quickly subsided. The scene was still a scene that Lu Heng was satisfied with. However, his mind kept replaying the figure he caught a glimpse of just now. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Qin Yining.
Just as Lu Heng was frowning and thinking about how to send more people to capture Qin Yining, Qin Yining's group had already encountered the pursuers sent by Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's subordinates weren't mediocre people. Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others protected Qin Yining as they escaped. They didn't want Qin Yining to be injured at all. Therefore, the journey was very difficult. They ran in all directions in the remote alleys of the county town. They almost couldn't tell the direction they came from.
Qin Yining was exhausted and panting heavily. Jing Zhe and the others were worried. They said in a low voice, "Master, I'm afraid we'll be caught soon if we continue like headless flies. We have to think of a way out. If we're caught, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to protect you. "
"Try to find horses. Once we have horses, we can leave this place. We won't be able to defeat the pursuers by relying on our legs."
Everyone agreed and ran even harder in the direction of the inn. Firstly, it was because the distance was closer. Secondly, the horses they brought were still in the straw shed in the backyard of the inn.
When the pursuers sent by Lu Heng saw that such a small group of people had such exquisite martial arts and incredible escape skills, they became even more suspicious and tried even harder to capture them.
The other party had so many people. Even if Qin Yining had brought elites, how many nails could a piece of good iron crush? Everyone quickly realized that they had no way of escaping successfully under the pressure of the other party's numbers. It was even more difficult to go to the inn and steal the horses.
Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others had to protect Qin Yining and find a way out. They were already badly battered.
Qin Yining naturally thought of the day when Sakurai had stood in front of her and died for her. His heart suddenly quivered.
