Chapter 25: Introspection

"Chief Administrator Qiyu, there is no trace of the thief, and hundreds of people are gone!"

Zeng Hai's eyes were gloomy and he looked at the little eunuch in front of him who had good kung fu and was very important to himself: "Gone?" They just turned into birds and flew, and it was impossible for hundreds of birds to fly together to hide from the eyes of the Praetorian Guards on the city walls, right? ”

"Search carefully, if you don't find any traces of this gang of thieves, you can't give Your Majesty an explanation, we all have to bury our mother!"

"Dig three feet into the ground, and find them out!"

"Dignified Jingshi, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the defense of more than 100,000 Praetorian Guards can still be played by a group of thieves, where is our face!"

"Yes, let's check the little one!"

Vice General Xu also had a gloomy face and took the Praetorian Guards to search carefully.

"General, all the corners of the surrounding city walls have been carefully inspected, and no entrances to the secret passages have been found!"

"Is this the leader of the anti-thieves who set up a suspicious array to support us, just to find a way to escape from the city from somewhere else!"

"Report, reply to General Xu, General Wang replied, the Praetorian Guards on the city wall have been staring at the thieves since they got the news, bending their bows and arrows and waiting for the thieves to leave the city, so far no trace of the thieves has been found!"

"This group of thieves is still in the city!"

Vice General Xu squatted on the ground to observe the few and scattered footprints of the people and gently investigated: "The light work of this group of thieves is extraordinary, and the footprints left are too few, which brings great difficulties to the direction of tracking. ”

"Now we can only hope that this group of thieves is really just a suspicious array to confuse us, and they are really hiding somewhere in the city!"

"As long as they don't leave the city, we still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if this group of thieves has really escaped from the secret passage we don't know, and Niangniang is assassinated, we will have to bear the thunderous wrath of Your Majesty!"

Some of the surrounding captains heard Vice General Xu's muffled words, and gritted their teeth and looked at the soldiers under their command.

"Brothers, you must not let go of any clues, and you must capture this group of thieves."

"As the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Guard, it is a shame that our Praetorian Guards will not be able to wash away in their lifetime by letting the thieves assassinate our mother!"

"Order!"

After a long time, the commanders of the Praetorian Guard gathered again, looked at each other and shook their heads.

"The walls of the four city gates are all strictly checked, there is no secret passage to escape at all, since this is the case, it is strange, how can hundreds of people say that they will disappear when they disappear!"

"There's a stronghold in the city, or it's a foreign aid that helps them hide their tracks!"

"It can be preliminarily concluded that this gang of thieves did not leave the city, but hid through light skills!"

"General Xu, order the whole city to be searched!"

"A door-to-door search will definitely find out where this group of thieves is hiding!"

"Commander Chen is right, as long as this group of thieves does not leave the city, we will definitely be able to search their hiding place and bring them to justice!"

Vice General Xu motioned to his subordinate generals to silence: "There are too many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and with my rights, there is no way to issue an order to search the whole city!" ”

"After General Yang Fang reports to His Majesty, please bring the Holy Decree."

"Otherwise, three families and one lord, five families and one important minister, if we offend them, it is not something that our group of small generals can offend!"

The commander of the first lieutenant nodded helplessly, they knew that what Vice General Xu said was the truth.

The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, but it is not something that one of them can afford to provoke as a deputy general of the Praetorian Guard.

"Xiao Haizi, did you stop the thief!"

Zeng Hai, who was checking the footprints, hurriedly got up and saluted: "The ancestor forgives the sin, Xiao Haizi is not doing well, and the figures of this group of thieves are all gone!" ”

Lao Zhou's eyes were even more gloomy, and he looked around at the surrounding environment: "It's gone, hundreds of living people are gone, and they can still fly with wings!" ”

"Xiao Haizi is also very puzzled, the Praetorian Guards on the city wall said that they have been guarding the city gate strictly, keeping an eye on the city gate, and there is no trace of any thieves at all, but they have disappeared around here!"

Lao Zhou slowly glanced at the tall city wall: "When the Wind Five Tyrants fled, let the thieves escape from the secret passage, have you found any secret passages?" ”

Zeng Hai shook his head in frustration: "It's almost three feet into the ground, and I haven't found any entrance to the secret passage at all." ”

"Our manpower is not as good as that of the thieves, and by the time the Praetorian Guards arrived, they would have disappeared without a trace."

"The footprints became fewer and fewer, and finally disappeared, as if they had disappeared out of thin air!"

"Xiao Haizi deduced that this group of thieves is still in the city, and it is very likely that there are reinforcements from them in the city to help them hide their traces."

"Lao Zhou, why are you here, how about you have caught any traces of thieves?"

Liu Dashao's voice broke Lao Zhou's thoughts, and when he saw Liu Dashao, Lao Zhou saluted respectfully: "Let's see the horse master!" ”

"See Dingguo Gong!"

"Excuse me, all exempt, what about the thief?"

"Your Majesty learned the news and immediately sent my father to support you, have you stopped the thief?"

Lao Zhou shook his head slightly: "I didn't stop any of them, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air!" ”

Liu Dashao's face sank: "Nonsense, how can hundreds of people say that they will disappear!" ”

Lao Zhou sighed silently when he saw this, and he also thought in his heart that Liu Dashao was because of the death of his cousin Yun Xiaoxi.

My cousin was assassinated, but there was no trace of the killer, so how could I be willing to take revenge as a cousin.

"Master Horse, don't be impatient, since the thieves dare to assassinate Niangniang, they must have done a good job in the retreat plan, and now the preliminary judgment is that this group of thieves is still hiding in the city!"

A lie is told, and more lies are needed to cover it up.

Liu Mingzhi pretended to look at Lao Zhou thoughtfully: "I don't know much about the current situation!" ”

"Lao Zhou, you are also on the spot, you will tell my father about the matter carefully!"

Lao Zhou sighed and nodded silently, and began to tell from his arrival.

During this period, Song Qing and Commander Jia also came to the meeting with their respective men and horses with a gloomy face, needless to say, they knew what the situation was by looking at their faces.

Liu Mingzhi heard Lao Zhou's speech, and his heart was extremely complicated.

How powerful is the old man's willow leaves, the innate master can take out his hand, it seems that he has never really recognized how terrifying the old man's power is.

"Secret passages? Lao Zhou, you said that the leader of the thieves mentioned the secret passage? Did you find a secret passage? ”

"No, the Ouchi guards, the eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Office, the Praetorian Guards and the spies..... Stacked together, no entrance to the secret passage was found, so we speculate if it was a suspicious plan arranged by the thieves! ”

Liu Mingzhi pretended to scan the surroundings of the city wall, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Lao Zhou: "Old Zhou, where is the entrance to the drainage pipe in the capital to prevent flooding?" ”

Hearing Liu Dashao's question, everyone's faces were stunned.

Perhaps the enemy may no longer be in the city.

Lao Zhou looked at Liu Dashao with a pale face: "Master Ma, do you mean that this group of thieves may come from ........ Broken........ Go to the banks of the Jing River. ”

Half a day later, a group of people looked at the dense footprints on the banks of the Jing River, their faces were like dead ashes, and they were all a little absent-minded.

Liu Dashao looked at Yun Xiaoxi, who had disappeared unconsciously, and sighed silently.

Creek, creek, that's all my cousin can do.

The rest of the way is up to you!

The sky is high and the birds may not fly, and the sea is not necessarily leaping by the fish.

Cherish all the way.

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Lao Zhou, whose face was gloomy, and Song Qing and the others were extremely complicated.

What an absurd way of the world, after all, he failed to live up to his father's high hopes and embarked on a path that harmed the interests of the royal family.

Wanyan is right, it turns out that Young Master Ben is really hypocritical.

used to be the most hated appearance of Young Master Ben, but he didn't expect that Young Master Ben would become like this one day.

The right has gradually blinded its own heart.

It's ridiculous that he is still talking about the so-called loyalty, it turns out that he has never faced up to what kind of dirty appearance he is.

How many mistakes he made just because of his cousin Yun Xiaoxi.

Deception, abuse of power, selfish interests, and so on are all displayed from one's own hands.

The guilt of Li Zheng's high hopes has completely occupied Liu Dashao's heart at this moment.

Maybe it's time for me to reflect on it.

In the end, he is loyal to Li Zheng, who has the grace of knowing and tolerating himself.

is still loyal to the Li family.
