Chapter 56 Escape
"He's awake! He's awake!"

A burst of noise made Buck's consciousness gradually clear. He tried hard to see who was talking, but he still could only see a mass of dark shadows.

"I... where am I..."

It took a long time for Buck to squeeze out this hoarse voice from his throat, but even if it reached his ears, the sentence was still as subtle as a mosquito chirping.

Just when Buck thought that no one could hear his voice, he raised his head with both hands, and then it seemed that something was aimed at his mouth, and the cool liquid poured into his mouth, moistening his dry skin Throat.

"Grandpa, will he be okay?" A female voice sounded from the side.

"It seems to be all right now." An old voice came from above his head, "But it still needs a period of time to cultivate."

"Look at what he's wearing, it's exactly the same as those master knights." The immature female voice continued.

"You don't need to worry about other things." The old man said in a deep voice, "Fei Qi has already reported to Luwen City, as long as the magistrate comes to take him away, we will have nothing to do with him."

"Lu Wencheng? Sheriff?"

Buck hesitated for a while before remembering that he was still in Luwen City. Immediately afterwards, memories before coma flooded into his mind like a flood.

Her Royal Highness has been captured!
The moment he remembered this, Buck felt his body was full of strength, and he sat up abruptly under the inconceivable gazes of the people around him!

However, his movements were too big, and the wounds that were easily treated were torn, and the blood flowed out again with his movements. Buck only felt a piercing pain in his heart, his eyes went dark, and he fell down again.

Before he fell into a coma, he only left behind a sentence that was extremely shocking to the people around him: "Princess, the princess is in trouble..."

……

On the other side, Princess Sophia, who was locked up by the thieves, was discussing with another knight, Toby, how to escape from here. The knight who was lying on the ground without moving was hopeless—he was even attracted by the smell of blood to surround him. The flies buzzing around him were powerless to drive away.

As for the maid, her panicked expression has not disappeared yet, she just sat there motionless, her eyes blurred.

Perhaps it was the order of the leader of the thieves group, Sophia was not searched, so a self-defense dagger hidden on her body just came in handy.At this time, she didn't care about the dignity of men and women, and directly asked Toby to take out the dagger from her body.

Then, Toby cut the rope on Sophia's body with a dagger, and then let her touch the restraints on his body with the dagger.At this moment, Toby with sharp ears suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door, his heart tightened, he didn't care about letting Sophia pretend, and hid behind the wooden door in a blink of an eye.

Just as Toby hid behind the door, the wooden door creaked open, and two minions walked in from the outside.The two minions looked around the room, and finally set their eyes on Sophia. One of them wondered, "Why isn't she tied up with a rope?"

"How do I know, could it be the leader's meaning?" The other said, looking at Sophia with lecherous eyes, swallowed, and said: "I have to say, this noble woman looks tender, I don't know when the leader will take her to have fun..."

"There is no chance."

The sudden indifferent words made the two minions stunned on the spot. Before they could react, the sharp dagger was accompanied by a gust of wind and wiped the throat of one of the minions. on the ground.

"Mark, why do you..."

The minion next to him saw his companion lying on the ground clutching his throat. As soon as he blurted out his question, he saw the blood flowing from his fingers. He directly covered his mouth, and immediately after that, he only felt a piercing pain in his chest, his eyes darkened, his body softened, and he lost consciousness.

After easily knocking down the two minions, Toby looked indifferent. After he knelt down and wiped the blood on the dagger with the clothes of the corpse, he looked through the minions to see if there was anything of value on them. After searching for a while, his A look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"His Royal Highness," he said, "these two people have nothing on them, not even weapons."

Sophia didn't care about this, she said anxiously: "Don't worry about it, should we escape now?"

"Subordinates go to investigate first, you hide here, don't run around." Toby said, poking his head out of the wide open wooden door and looking out, outside the door is a muddy path and a few simple and low thatched grass The house, and further away is a low wooden fence. Behind the wooden fence stands a tower, with sentries on it observing the situation outside the wooden fence.

Except for the sentinel standing on the tower, Toby saw no other enemies, and he felt a little uneasy—this was the unknowing unknowingness that would arise in his heart when dealing with unknown things.

Thinking of Princess Sophia behind him, Toby gritted his teeth and walked out of the thatched hut where they were imprisoned. After walking out of the thatched hut, he saw the scale of the thief's lair he was in: this lair should be built in On the top of a certain hill, a large number of houses are built step by step according to the mountain, until they reach the largest boat-shaped house.

That boat-shaped house, if Toby guessed correctly, should be the place where the high-level thieves lived.

Moreover, the wooden fence that Toby saw was actually just an inner wall. Outside the inner wall, there was a two or three-meter-high wooden wall on the mountainside that separated a large number of houses.

The hope of escape instantly faded.

"No, I must rescue the princess." Toby thought in his heart, while running quickly to the door of the nearest thatched cottage, "First find a weapon that is handy, and I am really not used to this little dagger."

Thinking about it, he tried to push the wooden door, but he didn't expect the wooden door to be pushed in. He walked into this room in surprise. The furnishings inside were very simple, just a bed and a table—and on that bed , a bald man is sleeping soundly.

In addition, beside the bald man was an iron long sword inserted in a scabbard.

"Sorry buddy."

Toby whispered, raised the dagger and thrust it into the heart of the bald man. The latter received a fatal blow in his sleep and lost his life before he even had a chance to make a sound.

After killing the bald man, Toby reached out to pick up the sword. Just as he was about to draw the sword to check, there was a sudden panic outside the door, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps, heading towards the house where he was. run!
