Chapter 234: Searching Gusutai
That little commotion happened all of a sudden.
It was about the second watch, all the lights in Gusutai were extinguished, the whole garden was quiet, and Chang Hao, the commander of the forbidden army, felt that the time for action had come, and at this time, he rushed into the small courtyard where Chang Geng and Luo Zichen stayed, and there was no great movement to execute these two guys who didn't know what to do.
According to the information they grasped, Chang Geng and Luo Zichen are two senior craftsmen, they have never been soldiers, they don't know martial arts, even if there is an accident, they will make some movement, and they won't make much noise, and the people who live in Gusutai, especially Fan Li, will not hear it. The purpose of secret executions can be achieved.
Chang Hao whispered to the soldiers in ambush: "Listen to my order, now advance to the edge of the courtyard wall, trap the small courtyard to death, and ten people go in to do it, don't talk any nonsense." ”
With a wave of his hand, the encirclement that was originally twenty or thirty steps away from the small courtyard suddenly tightened to the vicinity of the courtyard wall, and when he pushed the courtyard door, the courtyard gate was hidden and not latched. Ten soldiers rushed into the courtyard with a hula.
The door of the house was also hidden. There were soldiers who lit torches, everyone rushed into the house to take a look, they were all stunned, the house was empty, where is there Chang Geng Luo Zichen?
Someone ran out to report Chang Hao: "My lord, the person is gone." ”
Chang Hao didn't come back to his senses for a while: "Who is missing?" ”
The soldier said: "Chang Genghe and Luo Zichen, the targets of the execution, are not in the house. ”
Chang Hao only felt that his head "banged", and hurriedly ran into the house to take a look, only to see that Chang Geng and Luo Zichen's beds were still neat, it can be seen that this night, they did not sleep, and the daily necessities were all there, neat and orderly, not messy at all, and there was no panic at all.
But either way, neither of them was there. That is to say, the secret execution of Chang Geng and Luo Zichen failed.
Chang Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you notice them leaving at all?" ”
The soldier said, "My lord, we clearly saw the two of them entering the courtyard, and then we saw the lights in the house, and then we saw the lights go out, but we didn't see them leave." More than 100 of us surrounded this small courtyard, and as long as they left, there was no reason not to see it. ”
Chang Hao said irritably: "But what about them? ”
yes, what about people? The soldiers looked at each other and couldn't answer. In the afternoon, after receiving an order from King Wu, Chang Hao led the soldiers to inspect the surrounding rivers around Gusutai and control all the boats. Anyone who wants to leave Gusutai must pass through the passage outside the garden gate.
Chang Hao waved his hand and led the soldiers to rush out of the small courtyard and run straight to the gate of the garden. Outside the gate was a new, spacious stone bridge, which he had already ordered the army to take control.
"Did you find that Chang Hao and Luo Zichen went out from here?"
"No, after dark, no one is in or out of here."
"Can you guarantee that you haven't let anyone out?"
The soldier said, "We promise your lord that as long as someone leaves the garden from here, there will be dozens of us who will not be invisible." If we find out, we will cut off our heads. ”
Hell, that's hell. Will two big living people disappear into thin air? No, they are still in the garden. It may be that they found out something, went to the garden somewhere to hide. This garden is very large, it can hide tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the garden was built by Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, and it was too easy for them to go somewhere and hide it.
As long as they don't run away, it's easy to do. Chang Hao gave an order, and more than 1,000 soldiers immediately lit torches and searched everywhere.
King Wu had something in his heart, and he didn't sleep well, he saw a bright light flickering outside the window, and heard a sound outside, so he said to Xi Shi: "Madame sleep first, there seems to be some movement outside, and the widow goes out to see." ”
Xi Shi said lazily: "King, don't you rest after a tiring day?" ”
King Wu said: "Little kiss, you sleep first, and the widow will come when he goes." ”
Shih Tzu said, "The king will come back quickly." ”
King Wu went out of the house and came to the gate, only to see the torches shining all over the mountains, and he did not know what had happened.
"The king can rest at ease, and there are ministers, so don't worry."
As soon as King Wu turned around, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Fan Li holding a sword and saluting him. He said, "The young man is here." ”
Fan Li said: "The minister is the king's guard, and after nightfall, the minister has been standing guard here. ”
King Wu said, "There are torches everywhere, what happened?" ”
Fan Li said: "The king doesn't have to worry, the minister sees that this is the forbidden army in action, there will be no danger, the minister does not dare to leave to ask, and he doesn't know what happened." ”
King Wu said: "What will happen to this Chang Hao? ”
Fan Li said: "General Chang is doing things safely, there will be no unfavorable things to the king, and there are ministers here, please rest assured that the king will rest." Tomorrow will naturally report to the king. ”
As he was talking, he saw a man running with a torch. It was Chang Hao, the commander of the forbidden army.
"The king is not good!" After a glance, he saw Fan Li standing beside King Wu with a sword, and hurriedly stopped talking, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.
King Wu said, "What's the matter? ”
Chang Hao blurted out a lie: "The brothers found a wolf and are driving it away." ”
Fan Li smiled slightly in the night, and said in his heart: "This guy, how can you lie like this?" He said, "General Chang, please report anything to the king, and I'll go over there and check it out." With that, he turned around and left, giving Chang Hao a chance to speak.
Of course he knew what Chang Hao was going to say. The objects they were going to execute, Chang Geng and Luo Zichen, suddenly disappeared out of thin air, they did not complete the task assigned by King Wu, there is a great responsibility here, of course he had to report to King Wu as soon as possible.
Fan Li smiled secretly in his heart: "Rotten goods, let you mumble." ”
Here, King Wu said, "What's the situation? ”
Chang Hao said: "The king, the minister is incompetent, he didn't complete the task, Chang Geng and Luo Zichen suddenly disappeared. ”
Wu Wang was stunned: "It's gone, you don't have monitoring and control?" ”
Chang Hao said: "After receiving the king's order, the minister took control of Chang Geng and Luo Zichen's residence, obviously saw the two of them enter the house, and never saw them come out again. ”
King Wu said angrily: "No, no, where can I go?" ”
Chang Hao knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister is incompetent, please punish the king." ”
King Wu was irritated: "Is the punishment useful?" Thoroughly search Gusutai and can't find it, then they just fled, and immediately sent someone out to chase them! ”
Chang Hao said: "The minister obeys the order!" "I got up and ran away.
Fan Li turned back, bowed down and said, "It's cold outside, please let the king into the house." ”
King Wu said, "Young Uncle should also rest." ”
Fan Li said: "It's so chaotic outside, the ministers can't rest, and the safety of the king is more important than anything else." ”
King Wu entered. Fan Li was standing outside, and suddenly a pungent fragrance hit, and at a glance, Zimei was already standing beside him. He raised his hand and wrapped his arms around Zimei's waist. Zimei rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Did they escape?" ”
Fan Li said: "It is estimated that it has been dozens of miles now. Zimei, this time thanks to your help. ”
Zimei said: "Fan Jun is still so polite. Zimei can't wait to do more for you. Ke Zimei didn't understand that Chang Geng and Luo Zichen were not our people, and Fan Jun still had to help. ”
Fan Li sighed and said, "Although they are not our people, they have actually done a great thing for us over the years, and this is to toss Wu Guo hard." In the current state of Wu, the treasury is empty, the common people are starving, in addition to a strong army, the comprehensive national strength can only be regarded as a second- or third-rate country. There is another point, King Wu is insidious and murderous, and he actually wants to get rid of two people who have merit for him, I am angry in my heart, and I have to take care of it. ”
Zi Mei said with a smile: "Zi Mei discovered for the first time that Fan Jun still has the Mo family's ranger spirit that likes to fight unevenly!" ”
