Xiao Yao didn't know that Wu Mingche of Shouyang had decided not to come to save him, but now he felt very discouraged and disappointed, and had serious doubts about whether he could escape back to Chen Guo! Because he has traveled all over Luoyang City, he has not found the branch of the general trading house, and there is not even a decent shop!

"Phew! Luoyang is still a thousand-year-old city, a prosperous capital, how can it be such a broken place, it is really the wrong place, I knew that I would not enter the city, it is really unlucky! Xiao Yao scolded fiercely.

Because the current Luoyang gives Xiao Yao the feeling of being a depression, lifeless, full of ruined walls and dilapidated! And there are not many people in the city, all of them are indifferent and insensitive, and when they see strangers, they will think that he is a dangerous person and avoid it, and quickly run away, even the people in the poor countryside of Haiyan County are more hospitable than them! So of course the general trading house will not open a semicolon into this kind of city!

In fact, Xiao Yao is really a little wrong to blame Luoyang City!

Because for decades, Luoyang has been the front line of the Northern Qi Dynasty's defense against the Northern Zhou forces, so Luoyang has become a battleground between the two countries! Even here is the place where Gao Changgong made his career, in the battle of Bishan between Zhou and Qi, Gao Chang led 500 iron cavalry to rush into the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops, and then led the defenders of Jin Yong City on the edge of Luoyang City to defeat the Zhou army, and became famous in a battle!

Therefore, although Luoyang is a thousand-year-old city now, the years of war have long destroyed its former prosperity and prosperity, and the people in the city have long fled and died.

"It seems that there is no hope for you to find the semicolon of the General Merchant Bank here, and then follow them to sneak through the blockade of the Qi army and return to Chen Guo! We have to come up with another solution as soon as possible! Fortunately, there are some entanglements sent by the monk Huiguang, otherwise they would have starved to death in this dilapidated Luoyang City! But I'm not familiar with life here, so it seems that I still have to be cheeky, go back to Monk Huiguang first, and follow him safer! Xiao Yao said to himself.

When Xiao Yao was about to walk out of Luoyang City and go to the White Horse Temple to find Monk Huiguang, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a lot more soldiers stationed at the city gate than when he came in just now, and Xiao Yao suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart!

Oops! Could it be that the people of Gao Changgong have already caught up! Xiao Yao was shocked, and then immediately hid in a corner and secretly observed the situation at the city gate: I saw that these defenders had to carefully inspect everyone who left the city, and also took out portraits to compare carefully, and even removed their hats to see if there was any hair!

Xiao Yao shouted in his heart: It seems that the chasing soldiers have really arrived, I really underestimated their tracking ability, I didn't expect them to chase here so quickly! And they should have been to Songshan and Shaolin Temple, and they knew my method of pretending to be a monk! And now I don't have hair, and the defenders have to check my hair again, so it seems that I can't get out of the city now!

Songshan is only more than 30 kilometers away from Luoyang, and it will take about two hours to arrive if you ride a horse! So when Xiao Yao said goodbye to Monk Huiguang and walked into Luoyang City, the pursuit team had already arrived in Luoyang on a fast horse! They went to the White Horse Temple first and found the monk Huiguang, but found that Xiao Yao had already said goodbye to them and entered Luoyang City, which couldn't help but make the pursuit team overjoyed, because the prey was already close at hand!

But the pursuit team only has dozens of people, and they are only Gao Changgong's subordinates, and they can't mobilize the defenders of Luoyang to help them search for Xiao Yao in the whole city, so they can only entrust the defenders to strengthen the search of the city gate to prevent Xiao Yao from leaving the city, as long as Xiao Yao is still in Luoyang City, as soon as Gao Changgong arrives, and then carry out a carpet search for Luoyang, then Xiao Yao will be unable to fly!

Xiao Yao took off his monk's robe, put on a hat, and walked around several city gates in Luoyang, and found that Luoyang City had been completely blocked at this time, and there were hundreds of soldiers stationed at each city gate, all of them looked like they were facing a great enemy! Seeing such a situation, Xiao Yao's heart sank, he was now like a turtle in an urn, and there was no way to go out!

Fortunately, it is already early winter, and even it has snowed, and the pedestrians on the street are all wearing hats and tightly wrapped in their bodies, it is difficult to find the difference from the appearance alone, and Xiao Yao's accent is also a Qi accent, which also allows Xiao Yao to walk around the street at will, and no one will even suspect it when he buys things, but Xiao Yao does not dare to stay too much on the street, for fear that the defenders will see his suspicious appearance and find himself.

Xiao Yao came to a dilapidated house, the door was closed, and the plaque in front of the door said Laifu Dyeing Workshop, and then whispered a few times outside the door but no one answered, knowing that this was also a dyeing workshop abandoned by the owner, Xiao Yao suddenly had a plan!

Xiao Yao crawled into this abandoned dyeing workshop through the back door, searched carefully, and then found a lot of fabrics stored here in a secret room, and shouted with joy in his heart: I will not die!

Now that Luoyang City has been blocked, if you want to go out of the city, even if you hide it in a coffin, you will be opened and checked! And he has no acquaintances here, and it is impossible for anyone to help him escape, so he can only escape on his own. If you want to break through the city gate, although Xiao Yao still has a revolver in his hand, when the Qi army camp broke through, the bullets have already run out, and now there are less than ten bullets left, and he can't break through the city gate guarded by hundreds of soldiers alone!

So the only way to escape now is to fly out!

That's right, just fly out! And it's flying out in a hot air balloon! When Xiao Yao saw this Laifu dyeing workshop, his mind suddenly flashed: the dyeing workshop must have fabric, as long as the cloth is sewn into a big cloth bag, and then a pot of fire is placed underneath, a simple hot air balloon can be made, and you can fly outside the city with yourself! And his purpose is only to cross the city wall that is only less than ten meters, and he does not need to fly as high or as far as he can, so the requirements for hot air balloon conditions are not high!

Time is pressing, and now the enemy already knows that they are in Luoyang City, and they don't know when they will suddenly conduct a city-wide search, so they must flee in one or two!

Xiao Yao did just that, and immediately went to the street to buy a large number of needles and threads and various tools with the coils given by the monk Huiguang, and then bought a few jars of spirits and lime to make alcohol and use it as fuel for hot air balloons.

The principle of hot air balloon is to use the thermal expansion and contraction of air to make the balloon float in the air! Therefore, Xiao Yao calculated that he only needed to make a large cloth bag with a diameter of about five meters to carry himself into the air

Xiao Yao made the hot air balloon overnight, cut the fabric, and then carefully sewed the fabric into a large cloth bag with needle and thread, and when the outline of the hot air balloon was already presented, it was already the second morning.

Xiao Yao, who hadn't slept all night, was extremely sleepy, so he squinted his eyes, thought about it for a while, and was in a daze, but was woken up by the sound of horses' hooves! Xiao Yao, who woke up, immediately hid behind the window and secretly observed the situation outside, only to find that at this time the darkness had already darkened, and the number of soldiers and horses outside had begun to increase, and they were running around, it seemed that they had begun to search for the whole city!

The situation is so critical, I have slept so long! Xiao Yao secretly scolded himself! Looking at the Qi soldiers not far outside, who had already begun to take the initiative to search for themselves, and were searching house by house, Xiao Yao thought to himself: Could it be that Gao Changgong has already come! I'm going to get the hot air balloon ready and fly out of the city while it's dark!

Xiao Yao guessed correctly, Gao Changgong had indeed rushed to Luoyang! When he sent a pursuit team to the north to pursue Xiao Yao, he himself personally led the army to leave Linying County and also rushed to the north, which shows how much he wanted to capture Xiao Yao in his heart! Especially when the pursuit team sent Xiao Yao's clothes to Gao Changgong's hands, confirming that Xiao Yao was in the Songshan area, Gao Changgong immediately rushed overnight, and after arriving at the Songshan Shaolin Temple, he heard the pursuit team report that Xiao Yao was hiding in Luoyang City now, so he rushed to Luoyang non-stop!

As soon as Gao Changgong arrived in Luoyang City, he immediately ordered the army to unite with the soldiers defending the city to conduct a city-wide search and arrest of Luoyang City.

At this time, Xiao Yao had already tied a large cloth bag to a bamboo basket and successfully made an escape tool - a hot air balloon!
