Just when the war in Jingzhou was about to break out, Lu Bu and Xi Zhicai, who were far away in the north, were also in trouble.

Looking at Cao Cao's soldiers who were the first to check on the street, Xi Zhicai and Lu Bu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Brother Xi, why do you say that Luoyang is so tightly defended? Could it be that we leaked some news? ”

After observing for a long time, Lu Bu closed the window in front of him and asked Xi Zhicai beside him with some doubts.

"It shouldn't have been that our news leaked, otherwise we wouldn't have entered the city so easily...."

Although Xi Zhicai was also very confused in his heart, he was still slowly analyzing the current situation.

"I'm afraid it's because of what happened in the city, that's why so many soldiers are provoked to investigate..."

Lu Bu became even more helpless after hearing Xi Zhicai's words, his ears were tired of hearing such an explanation for so many days.

But the wolf-toothed soldiers under his command did not find out any news.

Even if the information is collected, it is only that these soldiers began to search everywhere more than ten days ago, and they don't know what they are searching.

"Brother Xi, we can't go on like this, there is nothing clear about that thing, even if we want to search in the palace, we have to search for many days!"

Lu Bu said a little anxiously, and kept walking around in front of Xi Zhicai.

"Alas, have we brothers found a secret way? The huge palace must have a secret passage, and it is impossible not to leave a little retreat for the people in it. ”

Xi Zhicai also shook his head helplessly, even if his wisdom was outstanding.

But in such a high-pressure environment, what can be played is only three or four percent of the usual.

It's simply that you and others are probing things, not murdering someone.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for these 100 elites to retreat in their entirety.

"Our brothers have already gone to find it, but there are many secret passages in Luoyang City, but they are all guarded by Cao Cao's army, and it is impossible for us to enter the palace through these."

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Why don't we let the soldiers make some noise outside the city to divert their attention?" ”

"Brother Lu, no! I don't know the situation in Luoyang now, if I rashly let the brothers do things. I'm afraid it will have the effect of scaring the snake. ”

Xi Zhicai hurriedly persuaded, and a look of impatience appeared on his face.

This impatience was not aimed at Lu Bu, but he was also a little impatient to make some moves.

But his reason has always suppressed the thoughts in his heart, so it took so long for Luoyang to be safe.

"Then why don't you let me go.... Maybe I'll find a chance to sneak into the palace..."

Lu Bu pondered for a while and then proposed again.

"Brother Lu, although you have been taught by the lord and have studied the assassinations on the rivers and lakes, but this palace is so big, what is the use of you entering it alone?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and refused again.

After Lu Bu heard Xi Zhicai's words, he also sat down helplessly.

Like a defeated rooster, he looks listless with his head down.

Buckle buckle buckle ...

Just when both of them were very helpless, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Xi Zhicai and Lu Bu instantly looked at the door, and one hand was also on the weapon on the side

。

Xi Zhicai gestured slightly to Lu Bu, and his eyes never left the door for a moment.

After Lu Bu nodded slightly, he walked quickly to the door with a long sword and slowly opened it.

Xi Zhicai's body tensed up at this moment, and his eyes narrowed silently.

But Lu Bu didn't attack the other party immediately, it seemed that he should be a familiar person.

After seeing this, Xi Zhicai also relaxed slightly.

After a long while, Lu Bu closed the door again, with a slight smile on his face.

"Brother Lu has heard something good? How happy are you? ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Bu's excited face, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"Brother Drama has no endless road! There is no endless road! ”

Lu Bu suppressed his voice and said excitedly to Xi Zhicai.

"Just now our brother found an ancient passage, it seems to be hundreds of years old, and the smoke and dust in it are very thick..."

"Oh? Did our brother go in and investigate? ”

Xi Zhicai also said excitedly.

"Where the hell is this place?"

"It is said that it is in an abandoned courtyard, and due to the urgency of the situation, our brother did not come to investigate..."

Lu Bu said with some hesitation after being excited.

"And there seem to be a lot of people around, and if we want to enter the palace through that passage, I'm afraid it's a little too difficult..."

"It's okay, since it's so rare to find an old passage, then we have no reason to let it go."

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while and then said seriously.

"Even if that passage can't be passed, we can dig halfway, Brother Lu, please take that place down as soon as possible!"

"But we don't have much money with us, if that passage is a dead end..."

This time, Lu Bu hesitated a little, such a gamble was too difficult to choose.

"It's okay, Brother Lu go quickly, let's go tonight and see where this passage leads!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, with a resolute look in his eyes.

"So.. That's fine..."

Seeing that Xi Zhicai was so resolute, Lu Bu could only nod helplessly, and he was a little too itchy.

Such a good opportunity is placed in front of me, and I am a little unbearable.....

Soon, under Lu Bu's order, the original abandoned courtyard was taken down by a small person whose name was unknown.

That night, two hundred dense black shadows gathered in the courtyard from all directions.

Since it had already been cleaned once in the afternoon, the courtyard did not look very dilapidated.

"What about the passage entrance? In what place? ”

After Xi Zhicai looked around, he asked the soldiers around him with some doubts.

"The military advisor is here, but he stumbled upon it when the villain was resting here today...."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's inquiry, a soldier immediately stood up and said slowly.

"Well, go open it!"

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, and said softly, "Don't alarm others if you don't move quietly!" ”

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, the soldier led everyone

Came to the backyard.

This courtyard looks extraordinarily spacious, even if it accommodates nearly 200 people, it is not crowded at all.

It seems that in the early days it was the backyard of a dignitary, and the surrounding people had only built on top of the ruins.

Just as Xi Zhicai was carefully observing the surroundings, the soldier finally led a few people to dig a hole in a small dirt bag on the side.

I saw a swarthy hole appear in front of everyone in an instant, and a musty smell kept coming out of it.

Xi Zhicai frowned and looked at the entrance of the cave in front of him, and casually took out a fire fold from his arms.

After lighting it, he threw it down, and the fire was still burning.

As soon as it entered the passage below, it quickly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, only a spark was left that flickered continuously.

"Zhicai, how is Zhicai? Found the entrance? ”

At this time, Lu Bu led a few people and walked quickly towards the backyard.

"The situation is not optimistic, I don't know how long this channel has not been used, there is no air below, it is estimated that I will have to wait for a while."

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said slowly.

The soldiers who had been gathered together also began to disperse one after another, and after a while, the backyard, which was still very crowded, became empty.

There were only a few people left, crouching next to the swarthy hole, observing the changes in the fire fold below....

"I've searched the surroundings too, I'm afraid the situation is a bit bad...."

As he spoke, Lu Bu gestured on the ground with the long sword at his waist.

"We didn't notice it during the day today, but when I went to investigate, I noticed that there was something strange about the foundation here..."

"Doesn't it look like a huge mansion...."

Xi Zhicai looked at the picture of Lu Bu talking on the ground and said slowly.

"When I saw this courtyard just now, something was wrong, this courtyard was too big."

"Combined with the style of the courtyard as we know it now, this should be part of a back garden...."

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, he also picked up the long sword in his hand and began to draw a wall around Lu Bu's road map.

Soon, a huge mansion construction plan appeared in front of the two of them.

"This passage has been useless for so long, which means that this mansion has been destroyed many years ago..."

Xi Zhicai frowned and said slowly.

"This passage is so old, it seems to be hundreds of years old, but in the past few hundred years, there has not been much war in Luoyang...."

"So I guess I'm afraid that the time when this mansion existed was when Wang Mang seized power....."

When he said this, Xi Zhicai's eyes emitted a fine light.

"It's only at this time that such a big mansion has been destroyed... I'm afraid that this passage is the passage used by the royal escape in the Western Han Dynasty....."

"In this way, this passage must be unobstructed to the palace..."

Lu Bu said excitedly.

"That's right, there is a high probability that this passage leads to a certain place in the palace...."

Just a while after Xi Zhi finished speaking.

There was a little fire in the passage.....
