Chapter 260 Thrilling: the Falling Branches

At this time, a man sent by Prime Minister Lan who was fighting saw a black figure rushing into the inn like a ghost, so he said to the leader, "Someone entered the inn!"

After hearing this, the leader was worried. It seemed that Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates were very good at tricking others. Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates sent people here to entangle them and set up a trap in another place!

Then the leader beat back the person who was fighting with him so that he had the opportunity to run to the inn.

The person who was hit covered his chest and frowned. He shouted, "Stop him!"

Then Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates looked back, but Prime Minister Lan's subordinates also tried their best to fight. So it was hard for them to get away.

They could only see him run into the inn, hoping that their leaders could soon succeed.

Before Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates could think about it, Prime Minister Lan's subordinates started to attack them again.

They quickly dodged. Two sides were well matched!

Imperial Concubine Xiao's man walked into the inn. Seeing there were so many rooms, he frowned. It would take a long time to search the rooms. There was not much time left for him. If Prime Minister Lan's subordinates found him, they would definitely come.

Thinking of this, he walked to the counter at the door.

The names of all the occupants were recorded there. A young man was taking a nap beside the counter. His body was shaking back and forth due to sleepiness.

Imperial Concubine Xiao's man walked over secretly, but the young man suddenly got up from the stool and saw him.

The young man looked at the person in front of him, dressed in black, holding a sword in his hand. His legs began to tremble, and then he turned his head and started shouting, "Help..."

As soon as he spoke, Imperial Concubine Xiao's man quickly flashed to him, stretched out his right hand and hit the back of the young man's neck. The young man fell.

Then Imperial Concubine Xiao's man hurriedly walked to the counter and searched there.

He saw that Xu Qing checked into room No. 6.

Seeing this, he hurried upstairs and looked through the room number hanging on the doors. He saw room No.1 and then walked forward.

When he saw room No. 6, he sneered.

He was about to break in.

At this moment, he heard a voice coming from behind, "This trick is really good."

He frowned and knew that he was found by Prime Minister Lan's subordinate.

He wanted to push the door open and kill Xu Qing first.

But as soon as his hand touched the door, Prime Minister Lan's man knew his intention and quickly moved forward to attack him!

Imperial Concubine Xiao's man quickly withdrew his hand to deal with him. He said, "You'd better let me alone."

"Well, I want to see what you can do to me." Prime Minister Lan's man sneered and said.

Xu Qing, who was asleep, woke up suddenly when he heard the sound outside the door.

He sat up from the bed quickly. According to the sound, there must be the two groups of people he had seen earlier.

Xu Qing was worried and wondered what he should do.

Now they were fighting at the door. He couldn't escape from the door, but there was a window. Thinking of this, Xu Qing put on his shoes, took the package, and then ran to the window.

When he looked out the window, he remembered that he lived on the second floor.

He looked out the window again. It was so high from the ground. He didn't learn kung fu. How could he escape from the second floor?

He paced back and forth in the room.

They were still fighting outside. He pushed the table to block the door.

After he moved the table, he heard a low voice from the window, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu."

Xu Qing walked over nervously and looked outside along the window. It was his subordinate. He might hear the sound outside, so he walked over from the window.

Xu Qing reached out and pulled him up, "Be careful."

After he stood still, the man said to Xu Qing, "I heard the sound outside the door. I thought that they came, so I come from the window."

"I saw them and they were exactly the people who wanted to kill me before, but I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get out here this time." Xu Qing looked at the door and then said with a sigh.

His subordinates said, "Don't worry. The other two have already left just now to look for a place to hide. Now there are only a few hours left before dawn. As long as we hide until dawn, we will be fine."

"But... but it is so high from the ground. How can I get down?" Xu Qing said with an anxious expression.

His subordinate took out a rope and said, "Don't worry. I will send you down with the rope."

"Well, hurry up." Xu Qing nodded and said.

"Okay. Forgive me that I will tie you with the rope."

"It's okay." Xu Qing wouldn't care about that because he had to escape from here soon.

His subordinate hurriedly tied him with the rope. Then the two walked to the window.

Xu Qing stepped out the window and said, "I'm ready."

His subordinate nodded and then slowly loosened the rope in his hand.

After Xu Qing landed, his subordinates flew down from the window.

Xu Qing untied the rope.

At this time, the other two ran over and said, "Hurry up. This way."

Xu Qing nodded and ran after them.

When they got to a place, the other two stopped and said, "Here. Let's hide here. It's a relatively remote place and it's hard to be found."

"Okay." Xu Qing responded, and walked over first, pushing the door open.

The door was opened. At this time, the dark clouds already dispersed. They could see a few large mice running through the door under the moonlight.

After they walked in, they closed the door. This was the place where the firewood was kept in the inn, which was called the woodshed.

Although it was messy inside, they found some straw piled in a corner.

His subordinates walked over and spread the straw in the corner. They then walked to Xu Qing and said, "Mr. Xu, you can rest here."

Xu Qing nodded and walked over. He motioned others to sit down together.

After everything was done, they dared not gasp and kept listening to the sound outside.

The two men were still fighting in the inn. Other guests heard the noise outside, but they didn't know the situation. So they dared not come out.

As for the manager, he had heard the sound a long time ago and was about to come out to have a look. But when he heard the sound of swords, he hurried back and hid in the bed, shivering.

Anyway, life was the most important thing. It didn't matter if the furniture was damaged. He only hoped that the damage would not be too serious.

The two men were evenly matched and exhausted. Imperial Concubine Xiao's man knew that he couldn't waste time here, so he quickly turned around and rushed towards the door. He pushed the door open with all his strength, and then quickly rushed into the room, only to see an empty room.

Prime Minister Lan's man rushed into the room. When he saw that there was no one in the room, he felt relieved. It seemed that Xu Qing was a clever man!

He said with a smile, "He is gone. You'd better save your time and ask your leader to stop."

Imperial Concubine Xiao's man turned his head, glanced at him, and then jumped down from the window.

Prime Minister Lan's man quickly returned to the place where they were fighting.

Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates had already retreated.

"How is it?" One person who saw the leader came back hurried forward to ask.

The leader smiled, "He is clever. He heard the sound and left through the window."

"Then should we continue to follow them?" Someone asked.

The leader shook his head, "No. He is not stupid. He knows someone will come to kill him tonight. He will find a place to hide."

"Then we..." Someone asked.

"Just stay at the gate of the inn!"

"Okay!"

Then they went back to where they were.

Imperial Concubine Xiao's subordinates went to find Xu Qing around the inn. According to the time, Xu Qing must be near the inn and had no chance to run out.

The leader walked into the backyard of the inn and looked carefully at every corner, but he did not find Xu Qing and his men.

At this moment, he saw a dilapidated room in the corner of the yard. He frowned, motioned to his men, and walked over there silently.

A person was watching the outside along the dilapidated doorway, and when he saw several people in black walking toward them, he was worried.

He quickly got up and walked to Xu Qing, "They were coming."

Xu Qing frowned, looking at the straw and the branches.

He then quickly said, "Quick! Cover the straw on your body, and then put the branches over there on the straw. Quick, quick!"

Others hurriedly followed the order. After everything was done, they heard the sound of the door opening.

They held their breath and dared not to move.

They saw three people walking in through the gap, and one person stood outside the door.

The four people looked around and didn't see anyone, so they turned around and walked out.

Xu Qing and his men felt relieved. But one of them might be too nervous, and his body was trembling at this moment and a branch rolled down from his body.

The four people who had just walked to the door stopped when they heard the sound.
