"Yeah! But what’s going on today? Why is everyone running out?"
"Who knows."
"Oh! What’s happened? It’s always us common people who suffer."
"Exactly, they’ve ssed things up like this, business is ruined today, not even a single copper coin earned."
"In the end, it’s us common people who suffer."
There’s a reason for all the complaints from the common people. The current Emperor is inactive, treating the commoners very harshly, with taxes heavier every year, yet he indulges the Imperial Kinsn.
The common people have long been dissatisfied with him, but fearing the Emperor’s power and avoiding trouble, they dare not say anything openly.
The dwarf, with his small body carrying Xuexue, was running fast, Zhang San following behind, almost unable to keep up, gasping and shouting, "Brother, brother, wait for , wait for ."
The dwarf turned his head and glared at him fiercely, "If you don’t want to live, just keep running slowly."
Zhang San felt bitter inside, she wanted to run fast but lacked the strength.
Zhang San turned to look, and saw a figure chasing from a distance, fearfully putting all his strength into his legs, running desperately forward.
He almost forgot, the two of them were fugitives, the entire Capital was plastered with their portraits; if caught, the outco would surely be miserable.
Recalling being imprisoned by the Pri Minister in that sunless dungeon for over a decade, Zhang San felt energized, planting his feet firmly and running desperately forward.
They ran one after the other down Changan Street.
The pursuer was drawing closer and closer.
The dwarf’s martial arts had previously been damaged, and with Xuexue resting on his small shoulders, his body appeared tiny, almost covered by her, from a distance looking rather odd, as if soone were suspended in mid-air.
Xuexue felt extrely uncomfortable being jolted up and down on the dwarf’s shoulder.
Earlier at the inn, she didn’t know what kind of potion the damn dwarf had fed her, leaving her whole body weak and powerless.
Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger could communicate with her mind, but now, oddly, she couldn’t sense them at all.
Xuexue was a bit flustered. She finally got reborn yet might die at the hands of this dwarf, which would be too humiliating.
Stressed and anxious.
Suddenly, the dwarf stopped in his tracks.
"You... you... who are you? Mind your own business and get out of my way."
It turned out, a tall man in black was blocking their path.
"Obediently put down the girl, and Master will leave you a whole corpse," ca the cold and rciless voice.
A powerful aura swept over, making the dwarf shiver involuntarily, secretly alarming him that this person had quite a presence, definitely not ordinary.
Looking up, he saw only a pair of icy cold eyes staring sharply like knives at him.
"Such arrogance! You tell to put her down, so I have to put her down?" Though afraid inside, the dwarf refused to concede defeat and continued to shout fearlessly.
Just as the dwarf finished speaking, with a swoosh, sothing lightly brushed across his face.
Instinctively, he raised his hand to wipe.
"Ah!"
Before the dwarf could react, Zhang San exclaid in shock next to him, pointing at the dwarf’s cheek and yelling, "Blood, blood, blood."
The dwarf looked down, seeing his sleeve stained with blood from wiping his face.
At the sa ti, he vaguely felt pain at the root of his ear.
