Chapter 353: Soaring Into the Void
At the three-way intersection, except for this group of resting guard cavalry. There were no traces of people or cars on the official roads far and near.
Drinking water, feeding the horses, chatting, sitting on the ground to rest... After dismounting, the cavalry were doing their own things in an orderly manner. However, among them, a middle-aged man sitting alone in the middle of the crowd was quite eye-catching. The reason why I say this is because he is the only one who is not wearing standard armor, and not only that, his hands and feet are also tied with heavy chains.
Needless to say, given the current situation, there is no doubt that this prisoner will be caught by Powers and the others on time.
"Who invented this fucking iron chain? Are you going to be so rude? Can you give me a lock? I'll wipe it out for you. No wonder I didn't search my body. I can't cut this guy off with any weapon... "
The middle-aged man who was fiddling with the chains and cursing in a low voice had a sallow complexion, was a little haggard, and looked very depressed... If Tang En were here, he would definitely recognize that this was Jack, who had just parted with him a week ago.
This was indeed the case, and it was Jack's bad luck. After he learned from Tang En that Bovis was still in Shanxi City, he stayed for a few days and then left. But who would have expected that Bovis had secretly left the city before that. What's even more tragic is that just last night, Jack's hands were itching and he was committing a crime in a city. By chance, he was bumped into by Powers who was passing by...
And this was the reason why Powers rushed back to Shanxi City. After the Alexina incident, although he didn't know what Tang En was doing with the noble negotiation team, he vaguely knew that the two must be related. Now that the group of nobles had left, he was naturally worried that Tang En would also leave with them.
Powers walked over casually, watched Jack raise his head, and tossed out the newly obtained water bag: "We are almost to Shanxi City, have you thought clearly? Haha... don't worry, it's not poisonous."
He grinned, removed the water bag from his nose, raised his head and took a sip, "Tsk..." He raised his chained arm and brushed his lips, and looked up. Jack looked confused, "What are you thinking about? I really I don’t understand what you are saying.”
"Pretend, keep pretending!" Powis squinted, sat next to Jack, and patted his shoulder, "I, Powis, am somewhat famous, but I'm not famous enough to just call out my name to a random thief when he meets one. It must be so ups and downs.”
Jack trembled first and subconsciously wanted to move to the side, but was forced to stay in place by Powers' broad palm on his shoulder. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, showing an annoyed look.
In fact, after he met with Powers last night, the other party had no intention of taking action at all. You must know that his face was wearing a disguise given by Tang En, and Bovis was not able to see through it at a glance. But Jack himself felt guilty first, and subconsciously called out Bovis's name in fear...
"Well, that's because I've seen you before."
"Make it up, keep making it up!" Powers said in a sarcastic tone, obviously not believing it, and pointed at Jack's face, "It's useless to quibble, this is the point! Haha, such a perfect disguise... tell me, you and What’s the deal with the guy with the pitted dagger?”
"I don't know..." Jack looked bitter and shook his head in denial. It can be said that since he obtained the disguise prop, it has become his biggest reliance and his sense of security has improved a lot. But Jack never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of Powers because of this disguise.
"What a... Ridiculous loyalty!" Powers chuckled and shook his head, squinting his right eye slightly, "When I arrive in Shanxi City, I won't be as polite as now. Well, you are a thief and you should have been interrogated. Room. Tsk tsk, think about the whips, sword benches, soldering irons, and water cages there..."
As the various torture instruments were mentioned, Jack's face became more and more ugly, and finally he shouted angrily: "I admit that I am a thief, but according to imperial regulations, stealing does not deserve these punishments!"
"Oh? He also understands the laws and regulations of the empire. He is quite professional." Powers smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten Jack's collar, and then pulled himself forward suddenly, spitting out stars, "See clearly, the person in front of you is not Imperial regulations, but me, Powers! Powers! Do you understand?"
Jack looked stunned, and Powers raised his voice and thundered, "If you don't want to taste all the torture tools of the police station, if you don't want to live a life worse than death, then answer my question honestly! Do you know him?"
Stuttering, "Recognize, recognize..."
"Where is he?" he continued to yell.
"……That is impossible!"
"Uh..." Powers blinked, keeping his mouth open and roaring. Then he came back to his senses by combining the sentences before and after, leaned back and sneered, and patted Jack's shoulder as usual, "You have courage!"
Shrugging, Jack bowed slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, it's my honor."
After clapping his hands twice, Powers stood up expressionlessly: "You're welcome! I like your sense of humor and I hope you can keep it longer."
"This...I'll do my best."
Upon hearing this, Powis narrowed his right eye again, flashing with cold light. But at this time, Bernie had already walked over, looked at Jack on the ground, and shook his head, "Old Bao, it's time for us to set off."
After exhaling, Powers nodded and turned to leave.
"Huh..." Jack, who had just looked calm and calm, suddenly shrank, let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his face turned a little pale.
Thieves and assassins who have never faced Powers directly will never understand the pressure involved. Jack used to live in Laiyan City and knew more. It could be said that he lived under the power of Powers, which naturally made him feel even more stressed.
"Tang En, brother, I can only help so much... You must leave Shanxi City quickly before I tell you. Ahem, the sooner the better, I won't last long... Well, of course, if you can directly It would be better if you rescue me..."
Here Jack kept mumbling, and the knights around him had already got on their horses. Two cavalrymen came over and were about to lift Jack onto the horse... Suddenly,
hiss--
The sound of a horse's long neighing was heard in the distance. Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw a man and a horse running towards this side on the official road on the right. However, after the long neigh, the brown horse seemed to have exhausted its strength from running for a long time. Its front legs gave way and it fell directly forward.
"Huh...huh...hiss..."
Shocked, relieved, gasped, in just a few seconds, the expressions of the knights changed rapidly.
But it turned out to be the man on the horse, who jumped into the air in time when the horse fell down, and avoided this sudden disaster with great skill. Then he looked up and probably saw the people here. The lowered figure suddenly lifted up again, stepping on the void, as if there was an invisible highway under his feet, coming quickly through the air.
As we all know, apart from magicians, the only people who can conquer the void are empty-level warriors. How could this not make the unprepared knights stunned!
But in an instant, about a hundred meters away in front of the cavalry, the figure slowly descended. This distance was enough for everyone to see the person's appearance clearly... The young man's face was quite charming, but the most eye-catching thing was the long silver hair that swayed in the wind.
It should not have reached the realm of air level yet... Bovis and Bernie looked at each other, both saw the other's judgment, and nodded to each other.
Naturally, such a judgment was not made out of thin air. This silver-haired young man was clearly looking for them. If you already have the strength of the air-level realm, you will definitely choose to land directly in front of them. Rather than a hundred meters away. Of course, even if you have not reached this realm and can face emptiness, you have found the right path. As time goes by, if there are no accidents, sooner or later we will be able to fully step into the empty realm.
"Dismount!" Without hesitation, Powers and Bernie gave the same command and took the lead in dismounting.
Whether it was out of respect or for the sake of their own lives, they could not stay on horseback and look down on this great master. You must know that as long as the other party moves their hands, crushing them is no more troublesome than crushing a few ants. At this level, the Police Agency’s sign is completely ineffective.
It was precisely because of this psychological deterrent that everyone was a little on tenterhooks and watched nervously as the silver-haired young man walked slowly but really quickly. At this time, no one, including Powers, noticed that Jack behind him was shaking at a high frequency at this moment, and his face was as pale as paper, as if he would faint in the next moment.
In fact, if he had a choice, Jack wished he could faint right now. Powers and the others didn't recognize this silver-haired young man, but he knew him. It was in Liva City when he and Tang En ran into each other head-on when they went to the black market. At that time, Tang En's warning was still ringing in his ears. If you encounter someone, run as far as you can!
This is Yama, the leader of the Dusk Hunters! Of course, thanks to Tang En, he is now the leader of the bachelor group.
Damn it, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die this time...
Originally, Jack was wearing a disguise now, and no matter how good his memory was, Yama would not be able to recognize him. But during the few days he spent in Shanxi City, Tang En told him about killing Eunice and being chased by Thumper and Oliver. So Jack knew very well that if Yemo recognized Bovis, he would kill him without hesitation. When that time comes, Jack doesn't think he and these fellow cavalry will be spared...
When Jack's body was cold and his heart was ashen, Ye Mo had already arrived in front of everyone, nodded, and asked politely: "Excuse me, how to get to Shanxi City?"
"Uh...over there." Powers was stunned for a moment, then pointed out the direction.
The corner of Yemo's mouth raised, as if to express his gratitude, but at this moment, his eyebrows instantly wrinkled. He looked at Powis's outfit, then looked at the surrounding cavalry, paused, and said in an inexplicable tone: "You are guard cavalry. , um, Shanxi City’s security cavalry?”
Bovis felt a little wary, but after all, he didn't understand the situation, so he nodded: "Not bad."
"Ha..." Yemo raised his eyebrows in surprise, shook his head, sighed at his luck, then chuckled and touched his palms, spreading them out, "So, who is Powers?"
