Volume 1 Princess Taiping Grows Up Chapter 76: Pursuit (Part 2)
The assassins who saw this scene behind were all shocked and hurried to the window to look.
The moment Li Yuechen's hands touched the ground in mid-air, his body curled up.
Then he rolled on the ground and stood up directly, totally unharmed!
Rolling on the ground can reduce about 68% of the impact force, so theoretically, you can jump from the third floor without any injury.
Parkour beginners usually land on their feet first, then send themselves out and roll.
For a master like Li Yuechen, he can completely skip the step of landing with both feet and roll directly on the ground with both hands.
This not only relieves more impact force, but also allows you to get up quickly.
Not to mention the assassins on the second floor, even the crowd nearby who saw this scene were all surprised and didn't know what was going on.
Li Yuechen stood up, looked back, turned around and continued running.
The assassins on the second floor immediately decided to continue chasing and jumped out of the window one after another.
Only then did the cloth shop owner come running up, shouting as he ran: "Who are you waiting for? The second floor of our shop is..."
However, these assassins pretended not to hear his words and jumped out of the window one after another to continue chasing Li Yuechen.
Li Yuechen in front was running while thinking, should he fight with them?
But this thought was suppressed as soon as it arose.
I am indeed very strong, but that depends on who I am compared with. Among my peers, I am indeed very strong.
But even if a child has the strength of an adult, he still has no obvious advantage over an adult.
Not to mention that the other party was outnumbered, while I was alone. Moreover, they had weapons in their hands, while I was unarmed...
Although it seems that the other party has no intention of killing anyone, Li Yuechen does not want to be caught.
Considering his current level of favor, if he were caught, it would not only be a slap in the face of the royal family, but it might even make Li Zhi so anxious that he would fall ill.
Therefore, the most important thing now is to run back to the palace as soon as possible. As long as the guards of the imperial city can find us, they will definitely not dare to catch up!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen looked back and found that the assassins had already jumped down from the second floor and continued to chase him.
But the place here is not far from the Buddhist temple and there are no buildings around, so we can only run as far as possible towards Luo River.
So Li Yuechen ran directly into the crowd, dodging flexibly among the bustling crowd.
The assassins behind also rushed into the crowd and chased from multiple directions, ready to outflank them as soon as they found an opportunity.
Li Yuechen tried his best to run to a place where adults could be restrained. When he saw the fence in front of him, he estimated it with his eyes and then accelerated and rushed over.
When he was more than one meter away from the fence, Li Yuechen stretched out his legs, jumped into the air, and then lay down in mid-air.
While passing his legs through the middle of the fence, his hands also grabbed the railing to prevent his waist from hitting the railing below.
Seeing a little kid running through the railings as nimbly as a monkey, a young man nearby shouted, "Colorful!"
Li Yuechen stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, gave him a thumbs up, grinned, and continued running forward.
The young man was stunned and murmured to himself: "What a pretty girl!"
The assassins behind followed one by one. They were not as agile as Li Yuechen, so they simply climbed over and continued to chase.
In the square in front of the Buddhist temple, most people are walking slowly, and those who run fast always tend to attract attention.
It wasn't long before most people in the square stopped and stood there watching the scene happening before them.
I saw a little kid running in front, with a dozen people chasing him behind.
Although the child running in front was covered in dirt, one could tell from the material that the clothes were not something that ordinary people could afford to wear.
The most important point is that this child is extremely flexible, just like a monkey.
It seems that no matter what appears in front of him, he can always easily flip over it, jumping up and down.
The ten or so people behind, although running very fast, just couldn't catch the child and were always blocked by obstacles for a few seconds.
Some people thought they were just having fun and would cheer and cheer from time to time.
Of course, some people guessed what might have happened. After all, the swords carried on the waists of those pursuers were not fake.
But they didn't dare to meddle in other people's business. In today's Dongdu, throwing a brick outside might hit someone related to a high-ranking official.
If you accidentally offend someone you shouldn’t, you won’t even know how you’ll die.
Li Yuechen did not run into her own shop. Fu said that even though Wang Xiang had studied for a few years, he was not a good fighter.
So he could only run towards Luoshui as quickly as possible, as long as the imperial city guards could see him.
Seeing that the people behind were about to catch up, Li Yuechen looked around for a place to hide.
I just happened to see two buildings standing side by side in front of me with a gap in the middle, about one meter wide, forming an alley that was just big enough for people to fit in.
Li Yuechen's eyes lit up and he ran over quickly.
The assassin thought she was going to enter the back from the middle alley, so he immediately sent several people to block her from behind.
However, what none of them expected was that Li Yuechen did not slow down even when he ran to the entrance of the alley.
Instead, he leaped up, took three steps on the wall, and then his body rose up.
Then he pushed off with his right foot, bounced back onto the other wall, and after a few more steps, he reached the first wall again.
Under the surprised eyes of the assassin and the surrounding people, Li Yuechen jumped repeatedly between the two walls four times as if he could fly, and then accurately grabbed the second-floor window sill with his left hand.
Turning his head to look at the surprised assassin below, Li Yuechen showed a contemptuous expression, pulled himself up with a pull-up, and flipped into the window.
The leading assassin below immediately waved his hand and said, "You guys go up this way, and the rest of you follow me. She might be able to jump over."
After climbing in through the window, Li Yuechen took a breath and felt hot all over, with his shirt almost soaked with sweat.
There were quite a few people in the room on the second floor who were selecting goods. They were all surprised to see Li Yuechen climbing in from the window.
If the other side is okay, there is a wooden bridge on the platform outside, which can lead to the second floor next to it.
But there was nothing here where Li Yuechen came up. How did this little girl climb up?
The shopkeeper walked forward a few steps and asked in confusion, "Young lady, how did you get up here?"
Li Yuechen waved his hand, walked straight to the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
But he didn't swallow it. He just rinsed his mouth, turned his head and spit it out through the window.
"You..." The shopkeeper was about to say something when he heard a sudden noise downstairs.
Li Yuechen knew that the assassins must have caught up with him, so he immediately ran to the balcony on the other side.
There is a wooden bridge that leads directly to the second floor opposite.
At this time, several assassins had already run up from below, and when they saw Li Yuechen, they immediately chased after him.
Li Yuechen did not run directly to the bridge. Instead, he grabbed the railing and threw himself out, then jumped directly from the second floor.
The assassins all knew that she was skilled, so they immediately jumped down from the second floor.
However, after the three people landed, they were stunned and did not see Li Yuechen.
Really?
Feeling something in his heart, he turned his head and saw that Li Yuechen did not jump down. At this moment, he was holding the edge of the bottom floor of the second floor with one hand, looking down at them.
Seeing the three assassins looking up at him, Li Yuechen grabbed the edge with his left hand and gave them the middle finger with his right hand.
Then he pulled hard with his left arm and pulled him up to the second floor again.
Li Yuechen climbed in through the window and took a breath.
With this IQ, he still wants to be a killer?
However, as soon as he looked up, he saw an assassin reaching out to grab him!
Li Yuechen didn’t see clearly how many people there were just now, and didn’t expect that there was still one more!
Fortunately, her reaction was not slow. When she saw the other party grabbing her, she did not retreat but rushed forward directly.
When he was about to catch her, she suddenly lowered her body, slid directly between his legs, and came behind him.
After standing up, Li Yuechen grabbed the table behind him without saying a word, gritted his teeth, and threw it towards the man.
Although Li Yuechen is only seven years old now, she possesses strength no less than that of an adult.
The small solid wood table made a "whoosh" sound in the air and hit the assassin opposite directly.
As the man turned around, he saw something flying towards him. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but he was still a step too slow.
With a "clang", the assassin fell down, covering his head and twisting his body subconsciously.
Originally thinking of asking who sent them, Li Yuechen heard chaotic footsteps downstairs, so he turned around and ran to the bridge.
She didn't think she could beat the other party. Even she would not be a match for someone who could beat up a well-trained gate guard.
Sure enough, the assassins who had just jumped down caught up again, and Li Yuechen, who had already run to the bridge, leaped forward.
He pushed his right foot on the railing, raised his body again, and grabbed the eaves of the second floor opposite with both hands.
Then he exerted force with his arms, pulled himself directly onto the roof, and continued running forward.
However, after running only two steps, he felt his feet slip and almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped himself.
During this period, the royal family and the wealthy and powerful all liked to wear black leather Liuhe boots from the Western Regions. Since Li Yuechen wore men's clothing, she also wore this kind of shoes.
The soles of these shoes are made of multiple layers of linen, which are not very anti-slip. It is easy to slip when running on a sloping surface like a roof.
After thinking about it, Li Yuechen bent down and took off his shoes. Now that he was being chased, the consequences of falling would be very serious, so it would be better to run barefoot.
After taking off his shoes and socks, he saw three assassins climbing onto the roof and chasing after him.
Li Yuechen threw his shoes away, turned around and ran.
As he ran forward, he saw assassins chasing him on both sides, probably to prevent him from falling down suddenly.
In this case, we can only keep running forward.
Li Yuechen quickened his pace, ran to the edge in front and leaped forward, his body flying two meters in the air, crossing the wall between the two buildings and landing on the one-story building opposite .
It was impossible to relieve the force of this sloping roof by rolling. Li Yuechen supported himself with both hands, jumped like a monkey and continued to run forward.
The three assassins behind him also jumped over and landed on the roof. However, one of them didn't land properly and his right foot tilted to the side.
With a "crack", the huge impact force directly broke the ankle, and the tibia pierced the skin and was exposed to the air.
The assassin screamed subconsciously.
Li Yuechen didn't care what happened behind him, he just kept running forward.
We are now at Tonglifang. As long as we pass Cihuifang in front, we will reach Luoshui. Once we get there, our safety will be greatly increased.
While running, Li Yuechen turned his head and glanced in the direction of the imperial palace.
Although he couldn't see anything due to the long distance, Li Yuechen could only pray that the palace guards would receive the message quickly and come pick him up.
The long period of intense exercise had made her body almost soaked in sweat. If she continued like this, she might become exhausted at any time.
There were assassins chasing him on both sides below, and two assassins were chasing him from behind. Li Yuechen could only speed up and run forward.
However, the person on the roof also attracted the attention of the surrounding people, who pointed and speculated about what had happened.
Especially the child running in front, his movements were so agile that he didn't look like a human being. He flipped and moved on the roof like a nimble monkey.
After entering Cihuifang, the Luo River is right in front of you and can be seen clearly.
However, Li Yuechen's heart sank as he could not see any royal guards on the opposite side!
It was normal to think about it, after all, the distance from here to the palace was not short. Without a horse, it was impossible for him to get to the palace faster than himself.
But at this time, Li Yuechen felt a burning pain in his lungs. His physical strength had run out and he couldn't go on.
He thought that if he was caught, not only would it be a slap in the face of the royal family, but it would be disastrous if Li Zhi had a seizure!
Never mind, let’s take a gamble!
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen continued to run forward with no intention of stopping, but his speed obviously slowed down.
The assassin behind also noticed it and immediately chased after him.
Li Yuechen wanted to bet that these people were also landlubbers and couldn't swim! She planned to jump directly into the Luo River.
Thinking of this, Li Yuechen quickened his pace, squeezed out the last of his strength, ran to the eaves, and jumped up, leaping nearly three meters into the air.
After landing, he rolled over and continued to run forward, and the assassins on both sides also caught up with him.
As the distance was gradually shortened, Li Yuechen had almost reached the river.
However, at this time, the assassins on both sides also approached. Li Yuechen gritted his teeth, kicked the frame of a carriage parked nearby, flew into the air, and accurately grabbed the branch next to him.
Then he swung his legs violently, and his whole body circled completely on the branch.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain of his palms being scratched by the bark, and used the impact force to throw himself out.
Li Yuechen in mid-air had already reached above the river, lying upside down.
Li Yuechen raised his arms above his head and plunged into the river with a "plop"...
