In the distance, there was a faint sound of the knocking sound of the wooden bangzi, "The third watch of the child is safe, and there is nothing to do......"

Zhu Gaoxu continued to sit for a long time in the dark, and finally stood up.

He first took out a piece of incense from his cloth bag, then blew the fire and lit the incense, while turning his head to watch by the light of the fire. After the incense was lit, he held his breath, inserted the incense into the crack of the wooden table not far away, and then covered it with a fire fold. He immediately walked out of the house and closed the door tightly.

Zhu Gaoxu carried a cloth bag on his back and a high stool, silently touching out the house, and the person walked forward cautiously against the wall.

Walking out of the alley, there is still a poke lamp at the entrance of the house in the distance, and the light is brighter. Zhu Gaoxu sometimes walks briskly, sometimes cautiously, trying to keep himself in the shadows as much as possible. Following the path he had explored during the day, he walked outside the mansion where Qu Neng was under house arrest after a while.

Last year in Beijing, he went to the funeral house to lie in the coffin, and he did accumulate some experience. Now the second time he entered someone else's mansion in the middle of the night, he felt more skillful.

Finding the spot he saw during the day, Zhu Gaoxu put down the high stool, and after standing on it, he stretched out his arms up to be able to touch the wall.

He climbed over the wall, grabbed the rope and carefully lifted the high stool. After slipping off the wall, Zhu Gaoxu walked to the wall of a nearby house, took a look, and roughly saw that it was a small courtyard, and there was actually a room open, and the fire in the stove inside.

He peered out again and looked into the lighted room, and saw that there seemed to be two armorers sitting by the stove dozing off.

Zhu Gaoxu stood for a while, then took out a big hat from his baggage, and then covered his mouth and nose with a cyan scarf. Then he took out a small incense burner and opened the lid, in which was a thin and short piece of incense, which he blew on and trithed on carefully. Then he took out a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, and then cautiously leaned against the wall and touched the house over there.

The door was open, the fire was shining through the room, and Zhu Gaoxu reached out and quickly put the small incense burner into the threshold. There was another room not far away, which was pitch black, and there was snoring one after another.

Then he ducked into the shadows in the corner, took out an hourglass, and placed it lightly on the ground.

After waiting for about a third of a moment, Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door again and stood still to observe...... Since there are still people on duty in the middle of the night, they must be able to see the room where Qu Neng lives from the door, otherwise it would be meaningless for the two soldiers on duty to stay here.

Zhu Gaoxu held his breath, carefully observed for a moment, and soon attracted his attention to a door diagonally opposite: it was already the middle of the night, and there were still two lanterns hanging under the eaves outside the door.

He walked quietly against the wall, but soon returned, for there was a brass lock on the door. Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment...... There was a sled in the baggage, but prying the door might make a noise, and there were a few people in the other room snoring. So Zhu Gaoxu returned to the door of the fire room just now, and reached out to retrieve the small incense burner, and the short incense inside had burned out.

He listened to the snoring for a while, then took out a small piece of incense and put it into the incense burner. After lighting it, I walked to the next room, reached through the window, and gently placed it on the windowsill.

Zhu Gaoxu covered his mouth and nose with a towel, returned to the room with the door open, and walked gently to the two armor soldiers. They still didn't move, and they were already fascinated by the fan incense prepared by the Qingyuan monk of the Jingshi Xuanzang Temple.

However, in order to prevent leakage, Zhu Gaoxu used very little incense for these two armor soldiers, and the door was open, so it was estimated that he would not be confused for a while. He simply picked up the head of a soldier, and with a muffled "bang", he struck the soldier in the chin with a fist, and the soldier snorted. Then Zhu Gaoxu did another soldier.

Zhu Gaoxu touched the two of them for a while, and sure enough, he touched a key.

He approached the door next to the two lanterns with the key, reached out and gently lifted the door, and the locked door moved a crack. Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand and knocked lightly three times.

After a while, a voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

It's a bit like Qu Neng's voice, Zhu Gaoxu talked to him, and he probably remembers the voice. Zhu Gaoxu knocked three more times, and the voice inside said: "Damn! It's so late, what's the matter, do you want people to sleep? ”

"It's me." Zhu Gaoxu responded, then took the key to open the door, opened the door and walked in, pulling off the scarf on his face.

The man inside had already blown the fire and lit a candle. Zhu Gaoxu looked at it by the candlelight, who was Qu Neng? At this time, a descendant who was only wearing obscene clothes also walked up, and his voice was surprised: "King Gaoyang? ”

"It's me." Zhu Gaoxu repeated again.

Qu Neng immediately blew out the candle and said in a low voice: "Shhh There was someone on the other side. ”

"I've been fascinated by the people in two rooms, and I haven't noticed the others yet." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Qu Neng immediately blew the fire again, and lit the candle.

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "General Qu, believe me or not?" ”

Qu Neng stared at Zhu Gaoxu's face, nodded and said, "Believe!" ”

"Do you want to go?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

The generals are happy, and Qu Neng is also very neat: "I think!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu felt that Qu Neng had the ability to quickly judge and make decisions about the situation, and he was really a general! A few short sentences seem to contain a thousand words, since everyone is happy, Zhu Gaoxu will not drag the mud and water, and will talk about it after he has done it!

He asked directly, "How many people are there in the house?" ”

Qu Neng said: "Excluding our father and son, there were originally twenty-five people, and now there are thirteen people. Five sergeants were in the courtyard, and the other five sergeants, a cook, and two handymen were in the inverted room outside the gatehouse. ”

"Good." Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his forehead, "The two soldiers have been fucked over, and three of them have been fascinated in the next room." I used the incense, but I used it very little, only for a while, so let's try not to make any noise. Qu Liangcai went to find Chai He and moved into this bedroom; I'll go out again, and General Qu will come and pick me up. ”

The two nodded happily. Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he liked to do things with the generals. The military orders in the army are like mountains, there is not much nonsense, and the generals are bold and dare to do it! It's very refreshing to get started.

So the three of them went their separate ways. When he and Qu Neng arrived at the place where they had just climbed over the wall, Zhu Gaoxu put on a stool, stood up, turned his head and said in a deep voice: "I'll throw the rope in a while, and you can pull things up, slow down." ”

Qu Neng nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu climbed over the wall and went out. He returned to the uninhabited house and once he entered, he blew a fire. He took a few deep breaths, took another sharp breath, held his breath, walked briskly, and opened the door of the room where the person was kept.

After entering the house, Zhu Gaoxu held his breath and put away the fire fold first, then twisted a person with one hand, and walked out quickly.

He closed the door, pressed against the wall, and returned to the mansion where he threw the rope tied to the unconscious man into the wall.

After getting both of them in, Zhu Gaoxu drew a scoop and climbed over the wall through the stool to enter. At this time, Qu Liangcai had already moved a large amount of firewood and thatch from the stove room, and Zhu Gaoxu and Qu Neng went together and continued to hug them back to the room.

Needless to say, Qu Neng and his son already know what to do. They first found dark clothes to put on, and then hurriedly piled the thatch and firewood around the top and bottom of the bed, and then untied the two unconscious people, pulled the cloth from their mouths, and put them on the bed.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "General Qu and the others will go out first, and the bench is at the door." I'll come later. ”

The two of them went out with their fists clenched.

Zhu Gaoxu first walked lightly to the opposite side, put the key back into the arms of the soldier, and then went to the window next door to take the incense burner.

When he returned to Qu Neng's room, he locked the copper lock and then carefully pried open it with an iron sled. Walking in, Zhu Gaoxu lit the candle and put it on the thatch under the bed.

The fire ignited all at once! Zhu Gaoxu quickly exited the room, walked quickly to the edge of the wall, and then climbed over the wall and went out.

Qu Neng and his son from the neighborhood followed, and the three of them walked towards the back of the mansion, and Zhu Gaoxu led the way into a small alley, and then turned a corner and came to the door of the previous house.

Qu Neng's father and son followed, and Qu Neng said, "This place is too close to that side to stay for a long time." ”

"I know." Zhu Gaoxu took out a bottle of things, "Wait a minute, I'll go inside and clean up the incense ash and other things." In case I am fascinated by the residual incense, pour this on me. ”

The fire over there had already been lit, but Zhu Gaoxu still held his breath and walked towards the courtyard inside, he entered the room where the two rebels had been kept, concentrated, and cleaned up every minute thing with his hands and feet, trying not to leave a trace of it.
