Jiang Hui Han turned around and disappeared, and the clouds and rain knew what year. -------- Tang Li Yi "Ancient Farewell"

It is said that Chen Long read the killing list and knew that Ma Yuanyi's fate was on the verge of death, and whether Zhang Ning, who went to Luoyang with Ma Yuanyi, was also betrayed by the traitor? Chen Long was so upset that he almost had a seizure on the street, but fortunately, Lu Chang was clever and pulled Chen Long into the carriage. Without waiting for Chen Long to ask, Lu Chang reported in a low voice: "Master is a little safe." From yesterday to today, we have been inquiring about it, and there are no female dependents in the prison. It's just that the whistleblower this time has a very high status in the Yellow Turban, and the Yellow Turbans in Luoyang are probably wiped out. ”

Chen Long felt a little relieved and asked, "The person who whistleblower this time is called Tang Zhou?" ”

Lu Chang was dumbfounded and said, "How does the master know?" Obviously, he was greatly taken aback by Long Chen's unpredictable prophet.

Chen Long thought to himself, sure enough, it was this Tang Zhou, he told Zhang Ning and Ma Yuanyi to be careful of Tang Zhou many times, how could he still be stupid to get his way, this period of history was not rewritten by himself.

Lu Chang Chen Long did not answer his question, and continued to report: "That Tang Zhou is a disciple of Zhang Jiao, and he has won Zhang Jiao's trust, and has been in charge of bribing officials and transmitting information in Luoyang. This time, Ma Yuanyi came, originally wanted to instigate an uprising from within Luoyang and cooperate with Zhang Jiao's military action, but when Tang Zhou rebelled, the masters of the internal guard went out to capture Ma Yuanyi. ”

Chen Long nodded, he knew that Ma Yuanyi was strong in martial arts and excellent in light skills, and he was not under him, which showed how thrilling the arrest was at that time. After thinking about it, he asked, "Was Ma Yuanyi the only one arrested at that time?" ”

Lu Changdao: "At that time, a few people were arrested, but they haven't been found out yet. I only know that immediately after that, the internal guards destroyed the Yellow Turban's stronghold in Luoyang City, and all the small and small works were captured, and none of them ran away. ”

Chen Long felt dizzy, calmed down, and remembered an important question: "Then where is Tang Zhou after he told the truth?" Isn't he afraid of the assassination of the master of the Yellow Turban? ”

"He was terribly scared, so he only hid somewhere in General Lu Zhi's mansion every day and was closely protected. Every day, he only met with Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, and He Jin, the general. Long Chen nodded, knowing that he would be easy to do in the General's Mansion, and he must dig this person out. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Budo listening and asked, "Yuan Zhi, you are resourceful, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Budo said: "If you want to save people, you must first find people, since there are no female dependents in the prison, Mei Niang must not have been captured." Tang Zhou knew that Mei Niang had also arrived in Luoyang, so Lu Zhi must be closely monitoring the crowd out of the city. Therefore, we have to set up three monitoring points, one is Lu Zhifu, to monitor Lu Zhi's internal guard army and the movements of Tang Zhou; the second is the prison, the news that Ma Yuanyi is about to be executed is likely to be a trap, waiting for Mei Niang to jump; The third is at the city gates, if Mei Niang ventures out of the city, there is a great chance of being captured, and if we rescue in time, there is a chance of success. Chen Long asked Lu Changdao, "How many manpower do we have?" Lu Chang thought for a while and said, "All the guys plus a few of us, there are a total of twenty-five people. ”

The carriage turned around and finally entered a large compound, where Hao Pu and Hu Ji came to greet them with a good-looking man. The man saw Chen Long get out of the carriage, knelt down and kowtowed, "Zhao Da pays a visit to Taishou." Lu Chang introduced: "Zhao Da is the supervisor here, and his external identity is the owner of the pharmacy. Hearing that the new Taishou was coming, he had already sworn allegiance. The man bowed again and said, "Swear allegiance to the death!" ”

Chen Long nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhao Da: "Zhao Da, there is no need to be polite. Your men, leave two here to help, and send out the rest to monitor each gate, know the strength of the defense of each gate, and report to me immediately if any female dependents are arrested. Hao Pu and Hu Ji, the two of you are responsible for monitoring Lu Zhi's general's mansion, and whenever there is a movement of the internal guards, one person will keep an eye on it, and the other will report the news, and explore where Tang Zhou is. Lu Chang and I were in charge of monitoring the prison to see if we could rescue Ma Yuanyi. Zhou Budo sat here, studied the information collected by Lu Chang and them, and proposed a plan of action. Execute it now! Zhao Da, Hao Pu, and Hu Ji agreed, and turned around one after another.

Lu Chang took Chen Long and Zhou Budo into the study, and quickly handed over the court documents collected yesterday to the two of them for review. Chen Long asked Zhou Budo to take a closer look, and asked Lu Chang to take him and immediately go to the Yellow Turban's stronghold to take a look. The two changed into a set of casual clothes, crossed the main street to a market west of Luoyang, and Lu Chang pointed to a two-story teahouse with a seal pasted and said, "This is the stronghold where the Yellow Turban was destroyed." The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor has some wings. ”

Chen Long took a closer look at the surrounding environment and found that there were many hawkers on the street opposite the teahouse. Chen Long's eyes were so vicious, he quickly identified a few men selling jujubes, and his eyes glanced at the pedestrians on the street from time to time, who should be secret agents of the Internal Guard. The two hurriedly walked with their heads down, detoured to the back of the teahouse, saw that there was no one around, lightly jumped up to the second floor, gently opened the window from the back window, and entered a side room. Just closed the window, listening to the sound of someone pushing the window in the wing room next door, the two of them were shocked, and they didn't expect that the internal guard army had arranged for a secret agent upstairs to wait for the rabbit, thinking that they heard the movement and pushed the window to check. If it weren't for the quick enough hands and feet, it would have leaked the line.

The two of them held their breath and did not dare to move. The window next door creaked shut, and a voice came: "Third child, you are just suspicious, you don't even have a ghost, you know that this place has been destroyed, who would be stupid enough to come here to check in broad daylight?" Let's go to sleep! Another voice said, "The demon girl hasn't been captured yet, so I wonder if she will come back to get something important?" Fourth, you should be vigilant, don't look back and wake up after your head is cut off! Then it was silent again.

Chen Long and Lu Chang stared at each other with wide eyes, both wondering who would be the one who arranged the action of the internal guards, and they were really thoughtful, and they didn't even let go of the dens that had been destroyed. Chen Long knew that Zhang Ning was not captured, and his heart was a little relieved, but suddenly his eyes straightened, stared at the bed, stretched out one hand, and picked up a wisp of green silk. The green silk is extremely thin and long, obviously a woman's hair, Chen Long kneaded the hair into a ball and put it under his nose, a very light and very light fragrance came slowly, Chen Long almost left tears, this body fragrance is too familiar, I don't know how Zhang Ning can escape?

It was confirmed that Zhang Ning had come to live here, and the room had already been rummaged, and there were no other valuable clues. Chen Long and the others quietly opened the window and turned out, quickly jumped downstairs, and hid under the eaves. Sure enough, the window on the second floor was pushed open again, and after a while, the voice of the fourth child sounded: "I guess it's a bird!" The sound of the window closing came.

The two clinged to the wall, slowly moving away from being seen by the people upstairs. Finally returning to the crowd on Main Street, both of them sighed, and Chen Long asked, "Is this arrangement for the capture of the Yellow Turban all Lu Zhi's masterpiece?" Lu Chang said: "Lu Zhi has the style of a general, but I have never heard of him personally arranged." This time, the official family arranged for him to have two deputies, one named Yang Biao and the other Cao Cao, who were both resourceful. ”

Chen Long nodded, he didn't expect that the opponent this time would include Cao Cao. In this dark war, I still need to be more careful, Cao Cao is not an ordinary person who sells fame and reputation. It is best for him to find Zhang Ning and arrange to leave immediately, as for rescuing Ma Yuanyi, he has no confidence at all.

The two walked to the edge of Luoshui, only to see green trees, white sails, and tourists. The peonies are close to withering, and only some of the late ones are still in full bloom, and they look very beautiful in the sun. Lu Chang said: "Luoshui is open to boats, you can directly take a boat from outside the city to the city center, and you can see white sails on the street, which is also one of the characteristics of Luoyang." ”

Chen Long's heart moved, and he asked, "Is it possible for Mei Niang to escape from the waterway?" Lu Chang shook his head and said: "After the Tang Zhou rebellion, the inventory of Watergate became stricter, and the officials obviously would not ignore this. Chen Long nodded slightly, and his heart was even more annoyed. Staring at the blue Luoshui, Long Chen sighed in his heart: "Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning, where are you now?" Do you know that I have arrived at the shore of this Luoshui? ”

It was past noon, and the two went to the scene where Ma Yuanyi was arrested to take a look, but they didn't find any useful clues. The important transportation arteries in the city have the figure of secret agents, arranged like iron buckets, which shows Lu Zhi's determination to catch the saint. Chen Long and Lu Chang walked through the streets, trying to be familiar with the geography of Luoyang, the palace city is divided into two palaces in the north and south, the office of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is located in the north palace, in the northwest corner of Luoyang, the road outside the palace wall is closed. The prison where Ma Yuanyi is held is near Nangong, and it is heavily guarded by the internal guards, so it is difficult to approach it during the day. The two of them stopped and walked, and made a rough plan to explore the path of the prison tonight.

Back at Zhao Da's residence, Zhou Budo was still looking through those archives, and when he saw Chen Long coming back, he knocked on a separate list on the table and said, "Master, this list, you take a closer look." When Chen Long picked it up and looked at it, it was a detailed account of Zhao Da's bribery of court officials.

At the beginning of the details, the names of the ten permanent servants such as Feng Yu and Zhang Rang are written, and below is the general He Jin. Chen Longxin said that Liu Du's bribe was really generous, and he didn't let go of any of them. Looking down, I saw two names marked next to them, knowing that Zhou Budo did it, and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what are these two people doing?" ”

Zhou Budo pointed to the list and said: "This Liu Deran is Lu Zhi's disciple, and he has won Lu Zhi's trust and stayed in the General's Mansion to do the main thing. This Shi Sun Rui, the current captain of the guard, is in charge of the security of the capital. These two people have intersections with Zhao Da, and they are related to the General's Mansion and the Weiwei Army, so they may be a breakthrough to find out inside information. ”

Long Chen nodded, just as Zhao Da came back to report on the military readiness of the city gates. Chen Long showed Zhao Da these two people, and Zhao Da said: "These two people have accepted bribes from their subordinates and treat them as friends. It's too late today, so I'll take turns asking them out tomorrow to dine at Siwanglou and listen to the news. Long Chen nodded, and Zhao Da continued: "The soldiers at each city gate are indeed several times more than usual. The summer gate and the valley gate in the north are only for the royal family to walk and can be ignored. The Upper West Gate, Yongmen, and Guangyang Gate in the west are in charge of Bao Hong, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, and the Upper East Gate, Middle East Gate, and Jingmen in the east are in charge of Feng Fang, the left captain of the auxiliary army, and each gate has a team of 100 people. The three water gates in the south, the Tianjin Gate, the Xiaoyuan Gate, the Kaiyang Gate, a land gate, and the Pingcheng Gate, are all in charge of Zhao Rong, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army. ”

Chen Long saw that Zhou Budo had recorded them one by one, and asked Zhao Da to continue monitoring, and Zhao Da hurriedly went. After a short pause, Hao Pu also rushed back from the General's Mansion and reported to Long Chen: "Master, the soldiers of the General's Mansion are frequently mobilized, and it seems that messages are being spread everywhere. I heard that Lu Zhi was about to go on an expedition to exterminate Zhang Jiao, but he was transferring troops everywhere? Chen Long remembered that it was indeed time for the first Yellow Turban to fall in the official history, and after Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun would also be ordered to go on the expedition, and it seemed that the information that Tang Zhou gave them was not only Luoyang, but also the location and marching route of Zhang Jiaojun's troops.

Zhou Budo is ready to set up an evacuation route according to the troop deployment provided by Zhao Da, and he has not yet thought about Zhang Ning's identity for a while, and he will not be able to decide until Zhao Da contacts the results of the two bribed officials tomorrow. Chen Long also consulted together for a while, but he still didn't make a decision. It was dark, and Chen Long asked Lu Chang to prepare a black night suit to visit the prison at night.

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. Chen Long jumped over the ridge to cover up his hiding, and Lu Chang was not weak in light skills, and followed closely behind. Approaching the edge of the cell, the two lay down behind the ridge of a private house, carefully watching the prison's defenses. At the entrance of the cell, the lights were bright, and outside the surrounding high walls, there were several groups of patrolling soldiers, and there were always two groups of soldiers walking towards each other, barely running to the side of the wall. There is also a sentry post on the high wall, and the shiny tips of the soldiers' guns are faintly visible.

Chen Long saw that the defense was extremely tight, and ordered Lu Chang to do this, Lu Chang understood, the two quietly sneaked into the house, taking advantage of the two teams of patrols passing by, Lu Chang swished through the gap in the middle, and suddenly heard the soldiers on the high wall shouting, they had already found Lu Chang, the two teams of patrols quickly turned around and rushed towards Lu Chang, Lu Chang ran into the dark shadow of the house next to him, and a team of soldiers shouted and chased down.

Chen Long had already gone to another house at the far end, and wanted to take advantage of the attention of the guards on the high wall to be attracted to Lu Chang's side, but the patrol pursued Lu Chang's kung fu and jumped into the prison from another section of the high wall, but unexpectedly, the other team of patrols did not pursue Lu Chang, but only patrolled by the high wall, and waited for another team of patrols to come before they began to patrol according to the established route again. Long Chen couldn't help frowning, knowing that the patrolmen were all well-trained, and they would not fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Chen Long lay on the ridge of the roof, burying his head in the crook of his arm without doing anything about it. The tiles under his body seemed to move slightly, Chen Long was afraid that the tiles would slide down, so he hurriedly reached out to help, and suddenly smelled the tiles under him, which seemed to have a faint dark fragrance. The blood around Long Chen's body was boiling, isn't this the body fragrance that he thinks about day and night, and haunts his dreams! Crushing the broken bones yourself will also remember. The dark incense has not dispersed, indicating that Zhang Ning had just lurked here not long ago, and he should have spied on the movements of the prison and tried to save Ma Yuanyi.

Chen Long didn't care about anything else, turned over and went down the room, only to see that both ends of the alley were dark nights, and there were still Yiren. Chen Long was sweating like pulp, and he couldn't shout loudly, suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, slowed down, and hummed the song "Blue and White Porcelain" in a low voice in the dark night, his voice was low, and he could hear it within a few meters, but he was not afraid that the patrolmen would hear it. Silently praying in his heart, sticking to the edge of the alley, he slowly chose one end to move forward, only hoping that Zhang Ning had not left yet, and that he was going in the right direction.

The alleys are long, the night is dark, and the low singing voice gently ripples in the air. "The sky is blue and waiting for the smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you; The smoke of the cooking stove rises, thousands of miles across the river...... "This is the fifth time that Chen Long has sung, his voice is getting more and more trembling, Chen Long has almost given up hope, and his tiger eyes are full of tears. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the tears, and a slender figure rushed like a flame, plunged into Long Chen's arms, and shouted softly: "Brother Chen! ”

Chen Long's mind was like being thundered, and it exploded into chaos. I couldn't see Yiren's appearance clearly in my tears, but I accurately found Zhang Ning's lips and kissed them deeply.
