36 Deathsworn fugitives (1/2)
How could this be? An Jinxiu was also surprised. The prison of the justice courts had always been heavily guarded, so how could there be a fire?
”Things are not right.” An Yuanzhi said to An Jinxiu while she was still in a daze. He had already turned his horse around. ”Let's go back.”
Just as An Jinxiu was about to nod her head, she heard someone knock on the left side of the carriage.
”Who?!” An Yuanzhi shouted.
No one answered. Only An Jinxiu and An Yuanzhi could hear the heavy breathing. Someone was standing on the left side of their car.
Almost at the same time, An Yuanzhi pulled out his sword from his waist and returned to the carriage. He quickly lit the lantern and jumped off the carriage.
At this point, An Yuzhi had already pointed her sword at a person's throat as she shouted in a low voice, ”You're fugitives?!”
Outside the carriage stood two men dressed in the prison uniform of the Supreme Court. They looked to be no more than twenty years old, and their prison uniform was tattered, unable to hide their bodies. Their bodies were covered in blood, wounds, and even exposed bones.
”Sis, get back to the car!” When An Yuanzhi saw An Jinxiu get off the carriage, he quickly called out to her.
”We don't want to kill people,” the man who hadn't been held by An Yuanzhi's sword to his throat said. ”We just want a way out.”
”There has never been a fugitive from the justice courts who managed to leave the capital alive,” An Yuanzhi told the man. ”You'd better give up on this idea!”
The sound of messy footsteps came from a place not far from the back of the carriage. It was obvious that the justice courts were chasing after them.
The man who had spoken wanted to move, but An Yuanzhi turned his sword. ”If you dare to move, I'll kill him!”
An Jin's gaze swept across the man An Yuanzhi was holding to his throat with his sword. On his shoulder, a tiger's head roared with its mouth wide open. Are you people from Wang Yuan's residence? ” An Jinxiu asked.
After hearing An Jinxiu's question, the two men burst with killing intent.
”Get in the car. The people chasing you are coming.” An Jinxiu said as she turned around and lifted the curtain.
”Sis?” An Yuanzhi thought he had misheard and heard wrongly. Were they going to bring these two fugitives away?
”Get in!” At this time, An Jinxiu didn't have enough time to explain and could only urge the two of them to get on the car.
The two men heard the footsteps getting closer and closer behind them. At this time, they no longer had any choice. Their stamina was already exhausted, so even if they ran, they wouldn't be able to run far.
