Chapter Twenty-Four: Lee Ki's Escape Journey
County capital
"Report, inform the major general, the patrol sergeant found that the guards escorting Li Ji back to the prison were knocked unconscious on North Street, and there was a corpse not far away."
"Li Ji, I don't know where to go!"
Hearing this, Guan Ping's complexion changed greatly, and he suddenly became angry, shouting: "What, Li Ji escaped, what are you doing to eat?" ”
Suddenly, Guan Ping was furious, and his whole body floated out, which made the soldiers in front of him shocked!
"You quickly ordered Deng Ai to send troops to search the city, and now that time has passed, he should not have left the city yet."
"Moreover, you are sending people to the water camp to communicate with General Zhou Cang, and ask him to lead the people to search the banks of the Han River, and beware of Li Ji crossing the river."
"No!"
As Guan Ping was furious, the soldiers who told him immediately took the order to withdraw, at this moment, how could he dare to continue to delay and hesitate?
As the soldiers left, Guan Ping's anger calmed down in an instant, showed a smile, and said secretly: "Li Ji, Li Ji, you must be clever in escaping for your life!" ”
"If this is all searched and caught, then I will take great pains to set this up."
Xiangyang City, North Gate
Just when Deng Ai led the crowd to search the city and capture Li Ji, Li Ji was arguing with the defenders at the city gate at this time.
"Master Jun, what the villain said is the truth, my uncle is in poor health today, but this night incense can't be left untreated, so he is on an errand for him for a day."
Li basically thought that it should be no problem to pretend to be Li Laohan's nephew and sneak out of the city, but he found that the defenders of Jingzhou were not as easy to fool as he imagined.
"Really? But I remember that Li Laohan has always been alone, and he has no nephew? ”
I heard that when the guard soldier was a pawn under Liu Biao, he often guarded the city gate, so he was also more familiar with Li Laohan, who often pulled night incense, and knew more about it.
At this time, Li Ji's heart sank, his eyes were solemn, he didn't expect that his "seamless" lie would be seen through.
"Oh, Master Jun, the villain has always been dependent on his mother in Xinye before, because his mother died some time ago, after burying his body, he went south to join the villain's only relative uncle."
However, after all, Li Ji is also a member of the army, and after a moment's rest, he found an excuse to lie.
When the words fell, the soldier didn't believe it, and couldn't help but walk in, as if he wanted to observe it himself.
After stopping here for a while, the foul smell on the car filled with night incense gradually spread around, and the surrounding guards couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
After a while, another soldier couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, stepped forward and said, "Lao Zhang, don't be suspicious, it's just a small guy, what's the big deal with letting him out of the city?" ”
As for this moment, Li Ji has also secretly prepared, if he really can't get out of the city, he plans to break the net and forcibly kill him.
"Even if I am crushed, I will not give up!"
At this moment, Li Ji groaned secretly in his heart.
Originally, after being captured, Li Ji had already made up his mind to die, but he didn't expect that he would overhear Guan Ping's top-secret plan against Cao Ren by mistake.
At this moment, Li Ji felt that only by bringing this news back to Fancheng could he avoid his own defeat, so he would pretend to be drunk to make Guan Ping relax his vigilance, and then escape halfway.
Even, in order to ensure that the news could be delayed as much as possible, he directly killed the little man Li Laohan.
At this time, Li Ji was ready to kill, and his fists couldn't help but clench secretly.
However, at this moment, after hearing the persuasion of his comrades from the side, the rushing soldier couldn't help but stop and think for a moment, and waved his hand: "Open the city!" ”
"Boy, go back and tell Li Laohan and ask him to pay attention to his body."
"Master Jun, the villain must tell his uncle as you instruct."
Hearing this, Li Ji's tight face couldn't help but stretch out, his fists relaxed, and then said respectfully.
"Crunch, squeak!"
As the city gate opened, Li Ji continued to pull the night incense cart out of the city slowly, gradually disappearing into the night.
After a long time, the sound of galloping gradually sounded, and after a while, Deng Ai's face rushed to the horse, facing the guards from the side, and couldn't help waving his knife: "Today... Night... Can there be a living person out of the city? ”
Hearing this, the previous soldier immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "General Deng, no one has left the city. ”
"But half an hour ago, there was a little guy who claimed to be Li Laohan's nephew, and he pulled the night incense cart out of the city."
After thinking about it, the soldier continued to report.
"Little guy? Is this man in his early twenties? ”
"General, exactly!"
Hearing this, Deng Ai's complexion changed suddenly, and he said urgently: "It's bad, this person is a spy, open the city gate quickly, and follow me to pursue." ”
When the words fell, Deng Ai was so anxious that he didn't even have a jaw, seeing this, how dare everyone slack off, and immediately opened the city gate.
The city gate opened, Deng Ai led the crowd, and then went out.
Han water, on the river
At this time, the Jingzhou army warship has been swaying on the water, lighting torches, and wandering back and forth along the shore.
After receiving the order, Zhou Cang couldn't take a break, so he immediately put on armor and led the crowd to patrol the river, vowing to catch the escaped "spies".
As for Li Ji at this moment, he was hiding in the reeds on the dark shore, secretly observing the Jingzhou fleet coming and going on the river, and couldn't help muttering: "With this density, it seems that it is not feasible to grab patrol boats to cross the river." ”
"How do you cross the water?"
At this time, Li Ji once again fell into the problem of how to cross the river.
According to the current patrol density of the Jingzhou army, even if there is a boat, it cannot be used, the movement is too big, not to mention that he does not have a ship.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ji couldn't help but think of something, and in the next second, he quickly walked downstream along the coast, until he came to a slightly shallow shoal, and then stopped.
Looking at the surging Han water, Li Ji had all kinds of pictures in his mind, but when he finally thought of the huge information he was carrying, he let out a long breath, instantly relented, and began to strip off his clothes.
Then Li Ji jumped directly into the water and began to parade.
At this moment, Li Ji was ruthless and planned to swim across the Han River.
Although Fancheng and Xiangyang face each other across the Han River, there are at least dozens of miles wide on both sides of the Han River.
It must be known that the wide area of dozens of miles, just because the strength is exhausted, whether you can swim through it is a big problem.
It's just that Li Ji now thinks that he has overheard important information about the Jianghan war situation, so he completely ignores life and death.
Swimming across the Han River is also a move by Li Ji to become a live horse doctor!
………
In the city, the county capital
"What, so many people are dispatched, and they can't even find a single person, what are they eating?"
"A bunch of rubbish!"
With Deng Ai getting nothing in return, Guan Ping was naturally angry and scolded angrily.
Although this time it is a play, Guan Ping knows, what is the highest level of acting?
First of all, it is natural that you want to enter the play first, if you don't believe it, how can others not be suspicious?
Therefore, whether it is Guan Ping or Deng Ai going all out, the anger is hard to quench, and the tricks that are fake and real are just for the sake of making the tricks realistic.
