The thirteenth day of the first lunar month (13)

When Li Ke rushed out of the door of the cell, he was choked by the thick smoke, and with a palm in his body, he almost fell to the ground, Li Sanlang saw this and hurriedly ran over to support Li Ke, Li Ke gasped, he looked up and saw that Chen Xuanli had woken up at the moment, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "You can see who attacked you clearly?" ”

Chen Xuanli covered his chest, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he was also injured, his chest hurt tightly, and he replied weakly: "Back to Li Duwei, the two people who came, wearing masks, dressed in black, have extremely high martial arts, I have never seen his face clearly, but I have been knocked unconscious by him, it is really a dereliction of duty and a heavy trust." With that, there was a guilty look on his face.

Li Ke couldn't help but be a little disappointed after hearing this, but one thing is certain, the person who came is wearing a mask and his martial arts are extremely high, which is consistent with the situation when he first met Keduo, maybe one of the two people who attacked him just now is Keduo, but who will this extra person be? Is it Kedo's men? There are still such strong martial arts people under him, which is a little worrying to Li Ke.

Li Ke shook his head, sighed lightly, and said to Chen Xuanli: "It's not your fault, the person who came is indeed very martial arts, and I also fell behind in fighting him in prison, so I ran out of prison." ”

Li Sanlang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "These two thieves can't even take down Li Duwei?" ”

Li Ke nodded and whispered: "These two people are strong in martial arts, and they are indeed not ordinary people!" Li Sicheng, hurry! Organize people to prepare for capture! As soon as Li Kegang finished speaking, Li Sanlang hurriedly waved his hand and summoned all the Yulin troops over, at this moment the fire has gradually decreased, for a while, hundreds of Yulin soldiers with bows and crossbows were waiting for a moment, not daring to be negligent for a moment, staring straight at the door of the cell, just waiting for Keduo and others to come out of the cell and arrest them on the spot, according to this formation, even if Keduo inserted his wings today, I am afraid that there is nowhere to escape.

Li Ke also picked up a long sword and waited to fight to the death, but after waiting for a long time but never seeing the three of them come out, Li Ke couldn't help but be a little worried, he whispered to Li Sanlang: "Li Sicheng, are there other exits to this cell?" ”

Li Sanlang shook his head and said with certainty: "This cell has two floors, and the walls are all made of solid stone, it is impossible to dig it by manpower, not to mention other exits, not even windows, except for this door, it is impossible to escape." ”

Li Ke nodded after hearing this, it seems that today is the time to fight to the death, Li Ke unconsciously tightened his sword again, he deeply knows what kind of opponent he is facing, even if he can't capture both of them today, he must detain at least one of them.

After about a pillar of incense, the fire basically stopped, but no one came out, and everyone couldn't help but feel anxious, Chen Xuanli said: "It can't be fainted by the smoke, right?" If you don't go in and take a look, if you faint, it's easier to catch! ”

Li Ke gritted his teeth and said: "That's fine, I'm in front, you follow behind me, the opponent is not an ordinary person, everyone must be careful!" After that, he looked at Li Sanlang, Li Sanlang thought about it for a while, and felt that it was okay, so he nodded to indicate that it was feasible.

So Li Ke and the Yu Lin army began to walk towards the cell, although the fire outside has stopped, but the smoke in the room has not completely dispersed, some people can not see clearly, Li Ke led everyone to bow down slightly, cautiously began to advance; But he didn't go far, Li Ke tripped over something under his feet again, Li Ke squatted down to investigate, it turned out to be the corpse of the defenders in the cell, Chen Xuanli saw it, and immediately scolded in a low voice: "Hateful villain, let us lose so many brothers!" After a long sigh.

Li Ke whispered: "Maybe there is still a living mouth, but I just fainted, and I must remove this place for treatment as soon as possible." ”

Chen Xuanli hurriedly nodded yes, hurriedly beckoned a few people back, and whispered: "Let's continue to search, and you will carry these brothers on the ground out for treatment as soon as possible!" ”

A few people replied, "Oh! So he hurriedly carried a few people out of the door.

Li Ke continued to grope forward with the group, and he held the sword in his hand tightly to prevent the danger that would arise at any time; They advanced very slowly, for fear of a sudden attack, and even more afraid of missing a certain place, and allowing Keduo and the others to escape; Today, when Li Ke heard the curse of the bone-eating beast again, he was even more determined to catch Kedo as soon as possible, otherwise he really didn't know what would happen in the gods? How many innocent lives will be affected?

After the search on the first floor of the cell, there was no Keduo, and the cell guards lying on the ground were all carried out for treatment, Li Ke looked around and whispered to Chen Xuanli: "Keep going." "The second floor of this cell is built underground, and the light is worse than that of the first floor, and the view is not very good, which naturally brings greater danger; Li Ke held the sword in his hand a little tighter, and everyone also checked the bow and crossbow again, and after confirming that it was correct, they followed Li Ke and continued to set off downward; Li Ke's steps became more cautious, and the sound of action was kept to a minimum, and he cautiously searched around, cell after cell, for fear of missing out; There were also many cell guards lying on the ground on the second floor, and Yu Linjun, who was in charge of carrying it just now, also began to treat the brothers on this floor.

Finally, Li Ke and his entourage came to the cell where he fought with the man in black just now, the person in Chen Wuji's clothes was still lying on the ground, Li Ke walked over cautiously and turned him over again, but this person was not Chen Wuji; Li Ke looked around again and continued to lead the team forward, but it didn't take long for him to reach the end of the cell, Li Ke was shocked and whispered, "How come?" Where did he go? ”

Chen Xuanli was also shocked, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Is there a secret passage in this cell?" ”

After hearing this, Li Ke hurriedly ordered loudly: "You wait to look around to see if there are secret passages and secret grids, and report if you find it!" After hearing this, everyone hurriedly split up to look for it, Li Ke grabbed Chen Xuanli with a panicked expression and said, "Go and check the architectural plan of this cell to see if there are secret passages and secret compartments!" Just go! ”

Chen Xuanli listened, nodded his head, and hurriedly turned around and ran out of the cell. After Chen Xuanli left, Li Ke carefully tapped every inch of the cell with the hilt of his sword, the floor, the wall, and even the roof, especially the cell where they fought just now, he didn't dare to miss anything, this was the closest he was to catching Kedo, he didn't want to lose this opportunity, if he let him run, it would be too difficult to catch him next time; Time passed little by little, but Li Ke never found out, and the Yulin Army who was looking for him didn't have any information, Li Ke's heart began to become anxious, how could this be possible, obviously there was only one door in the cell, there were no windows here, and there was no secret passage, how could they just disappear out of thin air?

Li Ke was thinking about it, Chen Xuanli finally ran back out of breath, holding the architectural drawing of the cell in his hand, Li Ke took the architectural drawing and began to check it himself, Chen Xuanli gasped and said: "I have just checked carefully outside our room, and this cell does not have secret passages and secret compartments. When Li Ke heard this, his heart was cold, and he was still unwilling to carefully check the architectural drawings in his hand, and muttered to himself: "This... How is this possible? Chen Xuanli answered: "Yes, how can a few big living people disappear for no reason, unless... Grew wings and flew out. ”

Chen Xuanli's unintentional remark reminded Li Ke of the awakening, and Li Ke immediately shouted "not good", so he put away the drawings in his hand and pulled Chen Xuanli to rush out of the cell. Outside the cell, Li Ke anxiously asked Chen Xuanli, "How many guards are there in charge of guarding the cell today?" ”

Chen Xuanli replied without thinking: "Thirty people! This was the number of guards in the cell of the Long An Division, so he replied very firmly.

Li Ke immediately found Yu Linjun, who was in charge of carrying the wounded just now, and asked, "How many people have you rescued so far?" Is there a record? ”

Li Sanlang on the side answered: "Yu Linjun was busy saving people just now, so he didn't count it, I should count it on the side... Thirty-three! ”

"What!" Li Ke's face was shocked, and he couldn't help blurting out. As soon as he called like this, Li Sanlang reacted immediately, and his face was also frightened, and Li Ke hurriedly said: "Where is the rescued person?" Take me with you. ”

Li Sanlang didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried to the hall with him, where all the wounded were sent for treatment; The person in charge of the hall saw a few people coming, and hurriedly greeted him, Li Ke did not wait to return the salute, and asked anxiously: "How to settle the casualties now?" ”

Seeing Li Ke's flustered expression, the steward hurriedly replied: "A total of thirty-three people have been sent here, only two of them are still alive and are now being treated, and the other thirty-one people have died, all of them died of sword wounds, and have been parked in the side hall, waiting to be treated." ”

Li Ke looked around, the two wounded who were being treated were not far away, Li Ke hurriedly ran over to check, he had seen these two people, it was indeed Yulin Army, Li Ke hurriedly turned around, and said anxiously: "Quick, go to the side hall." ”

Li Sanlang didn't say a word, and followed Li Ke to the side hall, and several people counted carefully, but there were only twenty-eight corpses parked in the house, and the steward pointed to the corner of the wall and said strangely: "Huh? Why are the three corpses that were parked here missing just now? ”

Li Ke was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure you are parked here?" ”

The steward nodded, and a trace of uneasiness immediately rose in Li Ke's heart, it seemed that he had really guessed correctly, he turned around and looked at the other corpses, and finally walked up to three of them, and said to Li Sanlang: "Cunning Kedo! Let him run away! Li Sicheng, please see, these three corpses are not wearing the armor of the Yulin Army, they should have been worn on themselves by Keduo, Chen Wuji and the other three, and then cheated to death, and were carried out by the Yulin Army who rescued people in a panic, and now they are running away while we are unprepared! Li Ke said, looking lost and blaming himself.

In fact, when he found that there were more than three people just now, Li Sanlang noticed it, and at this moment it was nothing more than a confirmation of this fact, although Li Sanlang was a little disappointed, but he still said: "Li Duwei doesn't need to blame himself, these three people are indeed cunning, according to Li Duwei's opinion, how should we act now?" ”

Li Ke pondered for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "There may still be danger here, please Li Sicheng and the prince go back to the East Palace, I will go to the ghost market, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang understood Li Ke's intentions, so he nodded and began to act.
