The dishes hadn't arrived yet, and I was casually taking in the view when suddenly I saw two dark projectiles flying towards us from the window across the way, one heading for me and the other for Xile. What a mastermind! I took a glance and figured that if we didn't move, we'd both definitely get hit. So I kicked over Xile's chair and dodged to the side myself, causing both projectiles to miss their mark. However, Xile ended up flipping over onto the floor. Everyone was staring at this girl with her legs in the air.

  Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: Someone is dead, someone is dead.

  I turned my head to look, and found that at the table behind us, one was dead and one was injured. Before I had time to think about it, a voice suddenly came: It was that little girl who shot the hidden weapon, her hand was too heavy, and she even overturned herself.

  There were also voices saying: Catch him first and then send him to the officials.

  I thought: Just send Xi Le away and it's over, although she'll definitely be released without a guilty verdict, but I estimate she'll become some kind of concubine. I rushed forward to help Xi Le up and said: Everyone, don't misunderstand, it wasn't her who did it.

  The crowd said: Right, one look and you can tell it's not her doing it, it's yours. Your internal strength is impressive, you've knocked her down.

  I said: It wasn't me who did it, it was the building across from us.

  The crowd means that the building is lifeless and not facing the opposite building.

  I see people crowding forward, and I guard my joy by saying: Don't come any closer.

  At this time, the guy who spoke the most in the front said: I've been drifting in the rivers and lakes for 20 years, my experience in the rivers and lakes tells me that it's you who did it, watch me take you down.

  He threw a punch at me. I caught his fist, turned his hand over in mine, and used his force to strike his face with my elbow. A light kick sent him unconscious.

  Everyone exclaimed: It's really you who did it! Our robust warrior, known for being unbeatable in the martial arts world for twenty years, actually fainted instantly. We're going to fight you to the end! After saying that, thirty or forty people rushed up together, and I suddenly felt at a loss.

  At this time, Xi Le rushed out and said: "Not bad, it was I who shot the dart. I still have dozens of darts, watch out!"

  He finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand, thirty or forty people all fell to the ground. Xi Le grabbed me and said, "Let's go!" My friend and I took off running. Looking back, I saw that the guy who was originally injured had already died because he hadn't been rescued in time. I thought to myself, these people really have nothing better to do.

  I and Xile escaped from the wine building. Soon after, there was no one behind us.

  I and Xile felt a little guilty, although the person was not killed by us, but in this unclear era, if it is said that you killed him, then it feels like you really did. Moreover, the man opposite the building made us feel confused and uneasy, we thought that this place is not suitable for staying long, we must leave the city as soon as possible.

  As we reached the city gate, Xi Le and Xiao Bian had just passed through the gate not far away. Suddenly, an official soldier shouted, "A young man, a girl, and a donkey, it's them!"

  Xi Le looked at me and said, "Run away!" I thought to myself, "This is the end," because Xiao Bian was there. Xi Le mounted his horse and shouted at me, "Heavily kick it!"

  I thought, and could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive. I hope it can understand the urgency of the situation. After finishing speaking, I kicked Xiao Bian heavily with one foot.

  In an instant, I felt as if everything had come to a standstill. Xiao Bian stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around to look at me. I thought that was it, we were done for, and Xiao Bian must have been kicked to death. How would I explain this to Xi Le? At the same time, the officers and soldiers were rushing towards us. Suddenly, Xiao Bian let out a loud "ahh" and took off in a mad sprint. I followed close behind him as we desperately ran for our lives.

  Xiao Bian ran incredibly fast, and I was left further and further behind. Jile was constantly calling my name on horseback, and Xiao Bian gradually disappeared from my line of sight. At this time, the government soldiers were closing in, and all I could hear from behind was "Release arrows!" Suddenly, a flurry of chaotic arrows rained down. I stared blankly, thinking that the archers must not have practiced their marksmanship diligently on horseback because they were so off-target. I had no choice but to keep running without stopping, as stumbling even a few steps would result in being hit.

  But after all, I relied on my legs, they relied on good horses. Running like this isn't a solution either. I took a sneak peek and found that only four people were chasing me. I thought it was no big deal, so I stopped. I just worried about where Xi Le had gone. It was Xiao Bian's first time running wildly, what if he didn't have experience and ran to death before stopping?

  The squad halted and shouted: "You little brat, aren't you running away? You ran pretty fast. Come back with us."

  I say, why should I go back with you?

  The leader said: "Cut the crap, what have you done? Don't you know?"

  I said: What have I done?

  The leader said: How dare you, still arguing with me, you half-bald rascal, quickly turn your face to the ground.

  I said: Then you'd better tell me what I've done wrong?

  The leader said: How do I know what you've done? The higher-ups have ordered your arrest.

  I said: Then how did you determine it was me?

  The leader said: I'm not sure, so catch it back and take a look.

  I said: How can you arrest people randomly?

  The leader said: We have always been able to arrest whoever we want, and if the emperor himself commits a crime, we dare to arrest him.

  The attendant next to him took a sneak peek at the leader, who scolded him: "You idiot, in such a desolate place, can't you even brag a bit?"

  I said: I really didn't commit a crime, you must have caught the wrong person.

  The leader said: The superior said that a young man, a girl, and a little donkey, whoever sees them will catch them.

  I said: This is too much, and look at us, are we donkeys? Have you ever seen a donkey run so fast? That's the foal of a Western Regions' sweat-blood horse, a top-quality horse given by General Liang under the Emperor, known as a horse that can't be exhausted no matter how hard it runs.

  The leader said: Your running skills are indeed legendary, I've long admired you. What brings you here then?

  I handed him a plaque with the law number on it and said, "I'm sent from above to secretly investigate the deaths of several brothers in the temples of Zhoulou Valley. I'm heading to Chang'an now."

  The leader said: Oh, isn't this case handled by Lord Li?

  I said: Did you hear that clearly? It's a secret investigation, and there are many inside stories. I'm afraid it will involve a lot of people. This has nothing to do with you, so you can leave now.

  Leading the way, he said: "Mistaken, I apologize for the offense. This is also my job, please understand, haha, everyone understands, we are all one family, we are all one family." After finishing, he called out to his subordinates and said: "Bid farewell to this brave warrior."

  They all said in unison: The Warriors will be back.

  I waved and said, let's go.

  The man and horse went far away.
