After two days of wild running, Liu Bei finally took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei back to his camp. At this moment, they were less than fifty miles away from Luoyang City, and Xu Shu chose to camp in a plain area thirty miles west of Luoyang City according to Liu Bei's plan.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Liu Bei found Xu Shu before he had time to stop and asked him to immediately lead people to launch three signal flares.

Because he and Yuan Shao had already discussed, if their coalition army arrived first, then they could feint Luoyang City every day to attract Dong Zhuo's attention.

And he will fire three flares after arriving in Luoyang City as a signal for his arrival on the battlefield, which is also the signal for the general attack.

Yuan Shao, who received the signal, would immediately prepare siege equipment, and then wait until the next day to attack Luoyang City with him.

It's just that due to the incident of the five ghosts, their speed has been delayed for a long time. It was believed that Yuan Shao's army was impatient to wait now, so he immediately asked Xu Shu to send people to a mountain high place to launch signal flares.

After a short time, I saw three beams of red light rise into the sky, and then three loud bangs erupted. Its sound is so loud that people within a radius of dozens of miles can hear its sound.

At the same time, Liu Bei immediately convened a meeting to discuss tomorrow's battle. Looking around, Liu Bei found that Pang Tong did not attend the meeting.

"What about Pang Tong? Why didn't he come over? ”

Tian Tao was puzzled: "Eh~!" Lord, didn't he go with you to support Yuan Shao? I saw that you only came back with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I thought you had other arrangements for him! ”

Liu Bei was embarrassed for a while, and then he heard Zhang Fei jump to his feet and say, "Damn!" Big brother, this cowardly guy who is afraid of death, won't he just teleport home and not come out, right? ”

"Probably not, that guy was forced out by his uncle. He shouldn't be able to go home until the matter is resolved. I think he's found a horn to hide now! ”

Thinking of Pang Tong's appearance of being afraid of death, Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't worry about his affairs for now." Anyway, judging from the current situation, it's the same with him or not. Let's discuss how to attack Luoyang City! And we also have to discuss the rescue plan for Ma Chao. ”

Seeing Liu Bei mention Ma Chao, Zhang Fei immediately spoke: "Big brother, I think it's better to let me sneak into Luoyang City." With my ability, as long as it is not against the three-surnamed slave of Shang Lu Bu, I can deal with other dangers. ”

"No, it must not be! Third brother, although your combat power is not low, your body skills are not very good. Once exposed, surrounded by everyone, I'm afraid you won't even be able to run. ”

Liu Bei vetoed Zhang Fei's proposal, and at this time, Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Who is Ma Chao, he was arrested by Dong Zhuo? ”

Hearing Zhang Fei say what happened like this, everyone present was shocked.

"It turns out that the people of Xinye City disappeared like this! No wonder the two teenagers were scared like that. This is simply a Piao in reality! ”

Seeing that someone mentioned the boy they found in Xinye, Xu Shu suddenly said, "Liu Bei, I have something to tell you." In the time you were away, the two teenagers had finally come to their senses after our patience and reassurance.

And I also learned something about what happened in Shinno Castle from them. It's just that~, those things seem to be a little different from what happened to you! ”

Immediately, Xu Shu told the information he had gotten.

Here's how it happened, the two teenagers were half-brothers. At the time of the incident, the two of them were actually playing peek-a-boo with their father, but together they chose to hide in the dark compartment of the bed. Then through the gap in the bed board, I quietly observed the situation outside.

At the time of the incident, their father was looking for them all over the house. While searching, keep making a noise to attract their attention. The two of them hid in the bed and snickered, but just as their father found the room where they were hiding, a terrifying scene happened.

They saw a black mist floating from somewhere, directly enveloping their father. Then, in front of their brothers, they sucked their father alive into a jerky body, and then they were swept away by the black mist and disappeared.

And when they saw such a scene, they were completely so frightened that they completely forgot what to do when they cried.

It's just that it's a good thing they didn't cry out, otherwise they would have been found even if they hid under the bed.

And they kept hiding under the bed, even if they were hungry and gurgling, they didn't dare to go outside to find food, until the search team sent by Liu Bei found them.

It was also the fate of the two of them, and Liu Bei and they rushed over on the third day of the accident. Otherwise, they will die of thirst or starvation!

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei suddenly fell into deep thought.

"by the black mist! This girl's style of painting is becoming more and more like a horror movie. First the demon servants, and then the five ghosts, this made a black mist to suck people's essence. Didn't Dong Zhuomo want to turn the whole school alliance into a terrifying continent? ”

Liu Bei didn't dare to imagine that Dong Zhuo would come up with anything weird in the future, thinking that Ma Chao was in his hands at the moment, Liu Bei couldn't help but pray for Ma Chao for a while.

At this moment, Zhao Yun finally understood Ma Chao's danger, so he volunteered: "Big brother, why don't you let me save people." Among us, when it comes to martial arts, I don't think anyone is my opponent except for my eldest brother. So it's only fitting that I'll leave this to me! ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, judging from the current situation, Zhao Yun is indeed the best candidate for help. However~, it's a pity that he hasn't seen Ma Chao, and he is not familiar with the terrain of Luoyang, let alone where the cells in Luoyang City are.

So in the end, it seems that he is the only one who can do this job.

"Don't fight, let's go out of this rescue operation myself! I'll sneak into Luoyang City at night, and you just need to prepare what you're going to use for tomorrow's general attack. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei actually wanted to risk his life, everyone present objected in unison. I heard Xu Shu say: "Liu Bei, I can agree to anything, but this matter is absolutely not good." Don't forget, you are the real commander of our Youzhou Army.

How can you take risks as a manager? If something happens to you, what will you do after you call our army?

I know what you're worried about, after all, Zhao Yun is not as familiar with the environment in Luoyang City as you. But this is actually not a problem, just a planning map of Luoyang City can be done. ”

Xu Shu said and said to Xun You: "Gongda, hand over the drawings." I know you must have this, after all, you're such a blueprint collector! ”

"Cut! I seem to be trying to do something wrong, I'm trying to know exactly where the vendors are in each city, so as to save time looking for them, right? ”

Xun You rolled his eyes disdainfully, and then took out a drawing from the treasure chest and handed it to him.

"Here, this is the planning map of Luoyang City."

Xu Shu spread out the drawings, looked at them carefully, marked the drawings, and then said to Zhao Yun: "Zhao Yun, come over and remember the place where I drew the mark." After you touch the city, you will search according to the route I marked, and I believe that Ma Chao will be found soon.

As for Ma Chao's appearance, you can just ask Zhang Fei about this. I'm sure it won't be hard to find! ”

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he handed over the drawings to Zhao Yun, and then listened to Zhang Fei say: "Zilong, the matter of rescuing Ma Chao will be handed over to you." When you find the cell and see a person with long flowing hair, handsome appearance and claustrophobia, it is Ma Chao! You've got to get him out! ”

Seeing Zhao Yun nodded very solemnly and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely rescue people." ”

Seeing that Xu Shu handed over the errand of rescuing Ma Chao to Zhao Yun in a blink of an eye, and perfectly solved some of the problems faced by Zhao Yun, Liu Bei had no choice but to nod and acquiesce.

So, when night fell, Zhao Yun put on his night clothes, sorted out his equipment and prepared to set off.

Before parting, Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Zilong, you must be more careful on this trip." If it's really impossible, give up. Big brother, I don't want you to make any mistakes! ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I know everything! But don't worry, I'll get them out. ”

Zhao Yun smiled confidently, then waved his hand at everyone and turned to leave.

A person sneaked to the foot of the west gate of Luoyang City, and Zhao Yun listened carefully to the movement in the attic of the city wall. After confirming that no one was standing on it, he threw out the flying hook and gently climbed the city wall.

When he came to the window in the attic, he gently pushed it open a crack, and Zhao Yun looked inside carefully.

I saw two soldiers dressed in black inside, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the entrance and exit of the attic.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately took out from his arms that Zhang Fei had funded him to sleep so fragrantly, that is, something like a small bamboo tube that was an inch long.

But don't look at it, according to Zhang Fei, as long as this thing smells its smell, then even in severe insomnia patients will fall asleep all day.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was very careful to hold his breath and blow the smoke in the bamboo pipe into the attic.

After a short time, I saw the two black-clothed guards suddenly faint to the ground. Then Zhao Yun dodged into the attic, because he slept so well, he didn't dare to stay here for a second longer, and went directly to the city gate downstairs.

"It's strange, such a big city gate, there won't be two guards of the stairs!"

Seeing that there was no one in the guard duty room at the city gate, Zhao Yun inevitably had some doubts in his heart.

However, the matter is urgent, and he needs to find Ma Chao and rescue him as soon as possible, so he doesn't have the time to think about the reason.

Following the route marked on the drawing, Zhao Yun came all the way to the door of the Great Han Academy. According to Xu Shu's guess, Ma Chao is likely to be locked up in the prison of the school.

Because the cabinet belongs to the royal land, it is a palace-like existence, and although there are places for people in it, it is obviously not as complete as the facilities in the school. After all, it has always been the responsibility of the university to maintain law and order, and it has always been the responsibility of the university to guard prisoners.

It's just that he has been a little flustered along the way, although because of time, the people in the city should have rested now, but there should be some noise. After all, there will always be people who stay up late, get up late, or some cat barks at a dog.

But he didn't even notice a trace of lights along the way, thinking of the empty city they encountered along the way, he was afraid that there was no living thing left in Luoyang!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun's heart was cold. I'm worried about whether Ma Chao has been poisoned!

Sneaking into the mansion, Zhao Yun found that there were no patrolling soldiers here. This made Zhao Yun even more puzzled about the whereabouts of those Dong Zhuo soldiers.

Passing by the hall in the center of the school, Zhao Yun seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eyes. So he hurriedly stopped to look, and saw rows of coffins in the hall of the school.

Zhao Yun's scalp suddenly became a little numb, and he cautiously came to the side of these coffins, and opened one of the coffins with some hesitation.

"Hiss~!"

The moment he opened the coffin, Zhao Yun was so frightened that he immediately retreated.

I saw a living "corpse" lying in the coffin, and looking at its costume, it was a student of the Han Academy.

"My mother, this Dong Zhuo is really ready to change the painting style of the whole school league and turn it into a terrifying world!"

Looking at the student's chest in the coffin, it was still heaving, proving that he was still alive. However, a big person was sleeping in a coffin, and it was obvious that the other party had been controlled by Dong Zhuo with demonic energy.

Carefully recovering the coffin, Zhao Yun looked at the dozens of coffins placed in the hall, and hurriedly turned around and left in fright.

"Whew~! No, you must quickly find Ma Chao and take him away. It's so weird here, you can't stay for long! ”

Launched a search again, but Zhao Yun helplessly found that his prison was not found, but he found a lot of coffins. Basically, as long as the area is large enough, then there must be rows of coffins, which makes Zhao Yun want to give up this operation and turn around and run away!

After greeting Dong Zhuo's relatives in his heart, Zhao Yun forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart and continued to look for the location of the prison.

An hour later, Zhao Yun finally found the entrance to the prison in an unused classroom.

Walking cautiously into it, under the dim light, lifeless faces were reflected. And he saw that none of the cells on either side were idle, and all of them were holding prisoners.

Seeing Zhao Yun coming in, they immediately huddled in the corner and shivered.

"This~!"

Zhao Yun carefully and carefully looked at every face in the corner, and finally found the prisoner suspected of being Ma Chao in the last sealed cell.

The latter is basically the same as Zhang Fei's description, except that due to the influence of the environment, the latter is now covered with stains. So at the moment, it is somewhat handsome and elegant.

However, the other party's fear beyond others at the moment is enough to prove that he is Ma Chao, after all, not just a person has claustrophobia.

"Hey, Ma Chao, you're Ma Chao, right? I'm here to save you, come with me! ”

Hearing someone shouting his name, Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun blankly and fearfully.

"You... Are you Liu Bei and Zhang Fei sent by them to save me? ”。

"That's right! My name is Zhao Yun, and I'm sure you've heard my name somewhat. I was entrusted by my eldest brother and Zhang Fei to save you back! ”

Hearing Liu Bei's name, he saw a flash of brilliance in Ma Chao's eyes, and then said happily: "Quick, take me out of here." I can't stand this confined cell anymore! ”
