A single filament does not form a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest. --------- Yuan "Serial Scheme"

It is said that Zhou Budo couldn't sleep at night, and on the map of Luoyang City made by himself, he struggled to find the flaws in the guards guarding the city. Most of the east wall of the South Palace is shared with the Great Prison, and if you can sneak into the South Palace, it is possible to enter the Great Prison from the west. But there is no detailed map of Nangong in his hand, how to make a plan?

Chen Long hastily slept for an hour, the sky was already bright, and when he got up, he saw Zhou Budo lying on the table and sleeping soundly. Chen Long patted Zhou Budo on the back, Zhou Budo woke up, saw the harazi on the map, and quickly wiped it with his sleeve. Chen Long grabbed it, smiled and clicked the map, only to see that the flow of Nahara was just right, it was like a zigzag road map, flowing along the central Tonghuo Street through the Nangong, and finally from the Nangong zigzag through the city wall, and finally flowing through the Bishan Mountain, into the Yellow River.

Zhou Budo laughed, quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and ridiculed: "If it's so simple, I don't have to lie here and talk nonsense." Chen Long said with a smile: "It's really simple for a few of us to go out of the city, but how to take Mei Niang out really needs to think about it." If you want to rescue Ma Yuanyi, it will be even more difficult. You go and wake up Lu Chang and inform Zhao Da that they will have a meeting together. Zhou Budo nodded and went.

Chen Long walked to his bedroom and knocked lightly on the door. The door creaked open, and I saw that Zhang Ning had been freshened up, although he was still wearing coarse cloth clothes that concealed his identity, he had swept away his tiredness, his eyes had returned to his former look, and he was obviously sleeping well. Chen Long was relieved in his heart, walked into the bedroom and said, "We will have a meeting in a while to discuss how to rescue Brother Ma." I know you're resourceful, would you like to participate? ”

Zhang Ning groaned: "The people you brought from Lingling should be the henchmen of the eldest brother and can be trusted. But can the guys here in Luoyang be trusted? Chen Long said: "Zhao Da, who is the leader here, has a family member in Lingling, and I think people are also loyal and reliable." After a while, he was the only one in Luoyang to attend, okay? Zhang Ning nodded and said, "This is very good, I believe in the vision of the eldest brother." ”

Chen Long went out of the bedroom to prepare some breakfast, the two of them finished eating in a hurry, Zhou Budo and Lu Chang hurried back, speaking of Zhao Da, Hu Ji, and Hao Pu were already waiting in the study, and the two guys who replaced them were staring at the general's mansion for the time being. Zhang Ning put on a heavy veil and carried Chen Long into the study, although everyone couldn't see Zhang Ning's face clearly, they were still photographed by her bright light, and they were dumbfounded. Chen Long coughed lightly, Zhang Ning lowered his head and smiled, and everyone reacted and shouted: "Sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Ning was shocked, Chen Long was embarrassed, knowing that he had been betrayed by Zhou Budo, the kid, and stepped on Zhou Budo fiercely. Zhou Budo sat on the ground with a painful buttocks, holding his feet and screaming in pain, and said loudly: "Idiot, didn't you say okay, let you call your sister?" Zhang Ning's face was flushed, and even his forehead exposed outside the veil was flushed.

Chen Long cleared his throat and quickly diverted the topic, so that everyone gathered around the table and sat down, as if it was a small round table. Chen Long said: "Our goal is how to rescue the old horse within two days, and then get out of the city safely. Yuan Zhi painted by candle last night, and saw Luoyang City thoroughly, so he asked Yuan Zhi to say his thoughts first, and then everyone would refer to it together. ”

Zhou Budo unfolded the map in an uproar and said to everyone: "Luoyang City has nine land gates, seven of which are heavily guarded, and three water gates, which are also heavily guarded. So my focus is on the two gates on the north side. After speaking, he pointed to the map and said: "The summer gate in the north is directly opened in the north palace, ignore it for the time being." Only the valley gate, which opened in the northeast corner, close to Taicang and the arsenal, has always been strictly forbidden to the common people, but it is outside the palace walls. According to the psychology of ordinary people, of course, they will not consider escaping from this gate, but for us, ordinary city gates have heavy soldiers, and this is an opportunity. Everyone nodded their heads.

Chen Long said: "Zhao Da, who is generally guarded by the valley gate?" ”

"In peacetime, the gate is never opened, so only a few veterans guard the door. A few days ago, there was a yellow scarf, and the valley gate was reopened, and a lot of weapons and grain and grass were brought in, so a group of soldiers were changed to guard, which belonged to Shisun Rui's guard army, and the number was about 30 people. But next to the arsenal and Taicang, there are quite a few guards. Zhao Da replied.

Chen Long nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is it feasible for us to take advantage of their efforts to transport grain, grass and weapons from this gate and hide in the transport cart to escape?" ”

Zhao Dadao: "Well, my subordinates are not sure that they will pass through the blockade smoothly." Even if you hide in a truck, there is no guarantee that you will not be detected. ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "That's true, if all the people who go out of the city are empty cars, we have nowhere to hide." However, what if you disguise yourself as a man in a cart or a soldier who escorts you? ”

Zhao Da nodded slightly: "This is a line of thought. At noon today, I first asked Shi Sun Rui to drink in Siwanglou, and I will probe his tone first. It's just that this scholar Sun Rui knows that I am under the rule of Lingling Taishou, and at this sensitive period, he proposed to send people out of the city, and I am afraid that he will wonder if we are colluding with the Yellow Turban. Even if he is willing to accept a bribe, he will surely open his mouth. ”

Chen Long nodded and said, "If he can ask for a bribe, give him as much as he wants." If you are afraid that he will be at both ends of the head, you must keep the evidence of his bribery. It would have worked better if he could threaten his family. As a precaution, before you meet this person, we need to change our residence first, do you have any other homes in Luoyang? ”

"Yes, in the southeast corner of Luoyang, there is a courtyard by the Luoshui River, and only I know of its existence. It was fully furnished and never used. ”

"Very well, as soon as we have arrived, all those present here will go their separate ways, and do not take anything to attract the attention of the spies. Zhao Da, except for you, no buddy knows about the existence of Mei Niang, you and your buddy are temporarily stationary, if you encounter a search, for safety, you will meet after escaping safely, and the rest of the guys will escape separately, and they cannot be taken to the safe house. If you can't get rid of the pursuers, you know......" Chen Long said this, considering that Zhao Da's subordinates would inevitably have people with different intentions, and what he wanted was absolute safety. Zhao Da gritted his teeth and knelt down and said: "Taishou, I swear by my mother who is far away in Lingling, if you are in danger, your subordinates will be judged." Chen Long said: "Zhao Da, I also swear in front of the generals that your mother is my mother, and your family is my family." Seeing Zhao Da's resolute face, everyone nodded and praised.

Chen Long continued: "Hao Pu, Hu Ji, you are monitoring Lu Zhi's General's Mansion, have you found any traces of Tang Zhou?" ”

Hu Ji said: "Lu Zhi's Mansion is heavily guarded, and we only see that the government soldiers are frequently mobilized, but we can't understand the layout of the general's mansion. At night, the two of us climbed to the roof of the house next to us and recorded the location of several lights in the house, all of which were guarded by some soldiers, but we could not determine the location of Tang Zhou. ”

Zhao Dadao: "Master, after making an appointment with Shi Sun Rui, I also made an appointment with Liu Deran, and it is estimated that there will be gains." Long Chen nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

Zhou Budo said: "Master, the most difficult thing is to rescue Ma Yuanyi." The prison was impenetrable, and with just a few of us, we couldn't even get in. Chen Long wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly saw Zhang Ningfeng, who had not spoken, his eyes widened, and he quickly changed his tone and said: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try, Yuan Zhi, you say your thoughts first." ”

Zhou Budo was a little helpless, and pointed to the map again: "Yesterday, the master and Lu Chang have already gone to investigate, and it is impossible to sneak in from the southeast, north and south. Only the prison wall on the west side is used in conjunction with the palace wall of the South Palace, so there are no guards on the wall. But if you want to enter through the west wall, you must first find a way to infiltrate the South Palace. It is also very difficult to avoid being discovered. ”

After listening to Zhou Budo's introduction, everyone was silent. Zhang Ningmei's eyes were lowered, and she was also frowning and thinking. There are only two days and two nights away from the day when the car cracked Ma Yuanyi, and it is impossible to say that it can be saved.

After being embarrassed for a while, Long Chen said to Zhao Da: "If that scholar Sun Rui cooperates, even if he can't send us out of the city directly from Gumen, at least let him prepare a detailed map of Nangong for me." Then he concluded: "Except for Mei Niang, everyone else is in the dark, and there is no problem going out of the city alone, so my plan is that I escort Mei Niang alone and use the established method to go out of the city." After completing the task, the others split up and went out of the city, looking for a place to meet. Please remember that you must try to cover up your hiding to facilitate your escape. Our mission is divided into three levels. The first layer is to send Mei Niang out of the city safely, no matter how much it costs, this task must be completed; The second layer is to rescue Ma Yuanyi, this task we must try to complete, but we may not be able to do it, and we must avoid unnecessary sacrifices in the process of completion. On the third layer, it is the turn to kidnap or eliminate Tang Zhou, but if Ma Yuanyi is rescued, there will inevitably be a search for the whole city, and Tang Zhou must be abandoned. Mei Niang, can you agree? ”

Zhang Ning saw that Chen Long respected her opinion, and was grateful. Although he wanted to rescue Ma Yuanyi very much, what Chen Long said was indeed a pertinent suggestion, so he nodded and agreed. Zhou Budo suddenly asked: "Master, who can get the map of this prison?" Chen Long subconsciously replied: "Cao Cao Cao Mengde? After that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Da, and Zhao Da said: "Even if there is a picture, it may not be possible to find the location where Ma Yuanyi is being held, and you can't find it one by one." Cao Cao has indeed been in and out of prison frequently recently, interrogating Yellow Turban repeat offenders. He should know which cell Ma Yuanyi is locked in. ”

Chen Longjian's eyebrows furrowed, Cao Cao was resourceful, and he had a pair of fiery eyes that knew people, it was too difficult to deceive him. remembered that Lu Chang saw him in and out of the brothel last night, and he could only make a plan from here. looked at Lu Chang and said: "Lu Chang, no matter whether Zhao Da can get the topographic map of Nangong or not, let's go to Nangong in the early morning tomorrow morning to explore the way." Before you explore the road, you can take me to the Red Sleeves Garden to see what you can expect. Hey, you'll go and inquire later, which one does Meng De like*? Zhang Ning heard that Chen Long was going to visit a brothel on business, and his words were very rude, so he couldn't help but pout and give Chen Long a blank look.

Chen Long wanted to save face, deliberately didn't look at Zhang Ning in front of everyone, asked Zhao Da for the address of the safe house, and made a gesture to end the meeting. Everyone got up and went to prepare to disperse and transfer, and Chen Long pulled Zhang Ning directly into a carriage. On the carriage, Zhang Ning pinched Chen Long's waist and eyes, and Chen Long, who was in pain, grinned his teeth, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's to visit a brothel on business, and ...... on business", and the two teased for a long time before stopping. Chen Long no longer informed everyone, and drove the carriage out of the courtyard directly, and after making sure that no one was following, Shi Shiran entered the new safe house by Luoshui.
