Chapter 238: City and Lane Patrol Plotting a Way Out of Danger and Nonsense
Let's say that Mo Zhai left the post station and parted ways with Xuyu, and then went around at the various exits of Kolorum. After some field investigation, he went out of the city to patrol again, and returned to the city at noon, worried, and secretly said:
"All the main roads are heavily guarded, and there are even Chabu soldiers among them. If so, I'm afraid that if you want to go out of the city at night, it will be even more difficult! …… How can this be? ”
Mo Zhai stood on a high place and looked down at the city, and suddenly found that there were two rows of low houses on the side a hundred steps away from the main entrance.
He immediately walked over and walked deeper into the alley. What is even more surprising is that these two rows of houses are facing the back of the door, so although they live in the city, there is no trace of them.
After walking a few steps, I could only hear the voices of people on the street outside gradually weakening, and the lack of sunlight could not help but feel a little chill. Mo Zhai walked down the alley, and after several turns, he finally found that this was a direct route to the boundary of the city wall!
Looking up, I saw that the city wall was still heavily guarded. Mo Zhai privately estimated that if he wanted to sneak up on the city wall with the help of this row of houses, it would not be difficult to use Mo Zhai's skills. But it will still be discovered by the guards, and if you want to go down to the outside of the city, I am afraid it will be quite difficult.
Mo Zhai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and was about to go back, when suddenly a dog's head popped out between the city wall and the wall of the room, and Mo Zhai couldn't help but be surprised. Hurriedly ran over to check, and the dog saw that someone was coming, so he shrank back in fright.
Mo Zhai looked down at the place where the dog's head came from, and found that there was a hole in the ground, and then leaned down, but saw that the opposite side was also dimly shining with some light. There is no doubt that this cave leads to the outside of the city.
Although the entrance of the cave is not big, even if it is a sturdy figure like Xuyu, he can curl up in and out of it freely, but if he wants to enter and exit from this dog hole, although he Mo Zhai doesn't care, but Princess Nishikori's status is noble after all, and it seems that it is not appropriate.
Mo Zhai was thinking about it like this, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw that there was a human figure, actually holding a long sword in front of him! When the man saw Mo Zhai at first glance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he had already put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.
Mo Zhai also saw clearly at this time that the person who came was none other than Tong Duowu! And Tong Duowu obviously recognized Mo Zhai, with a suspicious expression on his face.
Mo Zhai took a step forward, clenched his fists and said with a smile:
"Oh, it's Brother Tong, don't come unharmed."
Tong Duowu took half a step back, looked behind Mo Zhai, but asked in a deep voice:
"You...... What are you doing here? ”
Mo Zhai looked back, turned his head and said with a smile:
"Oh...... There's nothing to do, and so-and-so is just hanging out. Brother Tong is here...... Isn't that the same? ”
Tong Duo was stunned for a moment, but when he heard Mo Zhai ask like this, he immediately reacted, and nodded back:
"Well, what Brother Mo said is very ...... It's really a place to hang out here! ”
Although Mo Zhai intended to make friends, tonight's events could not be explained to this person. And Tong Duowu obviously had something to hide, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
Seeing Mo Zhai standing still, Tong Duowu couldn't help asking:
"That'...... Brother Mo is here now, but what else is going on? ”
When Mo Zhai heard this, he was in a hurry, and immediately snorted haha:
"Oh...... Nothing to do, Brother Tong is in trouble? If so, Zhai is willing to help. ”
Tong Duowu frowned and said:
"You don't have to...... There's nothing going on down there! ”
So, the two walked to the outside of the alley together, and after going out side by side, Mo Zhai and Tong Duowu hurriedly said goodbye. And Tong Duowu is still extremely vigilant, but his appearance is very indifferent.
Mo Zhai and Tong Duowu walked in opposite directions, bypassing a downtown area, Mo Zhai only felt that the hole was still interesting, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he turned around, ready to go to explore again, and by the way, he could also make some marks along the way.
However, when he walked to the end of the alley, he was surprised to find that Tong Duowu was actually squatting next to the dog hole, as if he was thinking.
Mo Zhai only felt that this goodbye was a little embarrassing. Moreover, this person is very suspicious, and if he is allowed to see it, he may have another incident. Mo Zhai wanted to return the same way, so he immediately took a step back.
Who knows, this Tong Duowu could already hear the movement, and he didn't look back, only pouted, but when he saw the sword out of the sheath and his figure flashed, he suddenly jumped in front of Mo Zhai.
Mo Zhai only felt a flash of cold light, and his heart was shocked, his body twisted, and the shadow was not unsheathed, only blocking the opponent's attack. The sword and the scabbard intersected, and the scabbard was suddenly divided into two halves. The Chengying Sword is a peerless divine weapon, and Mo Zhai's swordsmanship is very exquisite, and the two complement each other, and they actually caught Tong Duowu off guard!
However, Tong Duowu was obviously also instructed by a master, and he quickly stabilized his position, and the sword was like flowing water, and Mo Zhai was you and I dismantled more than ten moves.
The two can be said to be on a par, but they suffer from the narrow terrain and cannot fully stretch. Tong Duowu actually rose into the air again, pulled out a few sword flowers in mid-air, and attacked Mo Zhai's body, but Mo Zhai reflexively stabbed out a sword, so that he had to return the sword to save himself.
Mo Zhai suddenly retracted his sword at this time, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Tong Duowu.
Seeing this, Tong Duowu knew that he intended to stop fighting. And he didn't want to dwell on it too much, so he just said coldly:
"Why are you following Ben Gongzi! Say! Who sent you?! ”
When Mo Zhai heard this, he learned that this person must have had some misunderstanding. He waved his hand again and again in defense:
"Brother Tai, don't misunderstand, Zhai has no intention of following, and no one has assigned him. Just here to check out this dog hole. ”
When Tong Duowu heard this, there was a slight murderous intent in his eyes in an instant, and he asked without doubt:
"Looking at the dog hole? …… But what do you want? ”
In order to express his goodwill, Mo Zhai pinned the Chengying Sword is backhand behind him with his right hand, and said nonsense:
"Oh, but it makes my brother laugh. My sister often goes out without permission and causes trouble everywhere. Just like yesterday, she insisted on coming out, and even encountered a thief. Thanks to the righteous rescue of his brothers, he was liberated. However, Rao is like this, after all, there is a life lawsuit. Zhai Xin was very worried, what should he do if Si Kou in the city really inquired at that time? That's why I want to go out of the city with my sister tonight. Nowadays, the patrols are very strict, and if you want to get out of the city safely, it will be quite difficult. Today, I accidentally bumped into this dog hole, so I came to take a closer look! ”
Tong Duowu saw that Mo Zhai's words were sincere, and his words were conclusive, not like deceit. The vigilance can be regarded as gradually letting go:
"Is that true?"
Mo Zhai wanted to win Tong Duowu's trust, so that the two would not meet each other in battle, but he couldn't reveal his secret tonight. Therefore, I can't think that I said two "bad words" about Yang Asha, but Yang Asha is indeed stubborn, and it is not that she was wronged. Seeing Tong Duowu asking, he said:
"What Zhai said is true, my sister must have seen it. Although there are not many words, the stubbornness can be said to be overflowing. ”
Tong Duowu recalled the girl he saw yesterday, and the girl did not look like a fuel-efficient lamp, so he couldn't help but nodded slowly, put away his saber and said:
"In that case, that is indeed a misunderstanding."
"Oh, don't worry! It's just a misunderstanding...... That's right! Presumably, Brother Tong was also killed because of us, so he came to explore the exit of the secret passage, right? ”
Tong Duowu's eyes flickered slightly, and they flashed away, if it weren't for Mo Zhai's meticulous observation, others would not have noticed it at all, and he could only hear him speak:
"Indeed, as the little brother said, there is a murder case in the next place, so he is looking for a way out."
After hearing this, Mo Zhai nodded again and said:
"Hmm...... The cave does look like it can sneak out of the city, but if it's blocked, it won't be good. In addition, Tong Gongzi should also be a person with a very noble status, coming out of the dog hole, I don't know if it's appropriate?! ”
When Tong Duowu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp again, and he asked tentatively:
"Huh? …… I'm just wearing plain clothes, but how can you see that my son is noble? ”
Mo Zhai lowered his head, his appearance was very respectful, and he smiled, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Hehe, I don't know. It's just that Zhai saw that the son was extraordinary, and he was by no means an extraordinary husband. And the martial arts are superb, and they must have been instructed by masters. If it's just flat-headed, how is that possible? ”
Tong Duowu heard this, but he was already half-convinced, and sneered vigilantly:
"Huh! This son is just a down-and-out person! What's the point? Besides, the husband can stretch and bend, if he is really in danger, why not drill a dog hole? Cover this hole with weeds so that no one else will find out! ”
After Tong Duowu finished speaking, he didn't say goodbye, and jumped to the roof next to him, and he walked lightly. Mo Zhai didn't chase after him, thinking that what he just said was very reasonable, so he picked up some firewood and grass, and roughly covered the entrance of the dog hole, and hurried back to the post house.
