Chapter 873: Traces

Liu Lan's heart sank, if he knew how to use the technique, as long as he arranged it in the house a little, he might not have a chance. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to set up traps in the catacombs, nor does he have the skills to set traps like 'Home Alone'.

So he just sprinkled soybean oil and animal oil all over the house, plus the lamp oil from the coal lamp, and if it was really a last resort, he set the house on fire the moment he hid in the cellar.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the people sent by the potters must be brought into the house first.

In this way, the risk is naturally extremely great, because he absolutely believes that those people can escape from the fire in an instant, and he wants this effect, because this is undoubtedly a gamble for him, if he wins the bet, then when the fire spreads, it will inevitably delay the pace of these people, so that they cannot capture him and Zhang Fei at the first time, but may also attract Zhao Yun and them because the fire is strong enough.

Regardless of whether he resists now or does not attract Zhao Yun or Zhang Jaw after the fire is extinguished, Liu Lan knows that today will be difficult to escape, and instead of dying at this time, it is better to give a hand, and look forward to Zhao Yun or Zhang Jaw to come.

The weather in August has not changed due to the westward slope of the sun, it is still hot and unbearable, and it is boring, but at this time he feels an unprecedented cold to the bone, such a feeling Liu Lan has not had for a long time, the last time he had such a feeling, it was because Gu'an was surrounded, but this time is obviously different from the last time, after all, the last time it was a fight, and this time it was a vendetta or an assassination.

Liu Lan smiled helplessly in his heart, maybe this time is the same as the last time, last time he was looking forward to Zhao Yun's efforts to turn the tide. And Zhao Yun really lived up to expectations, and this time. Who should he expect? Is it Zhao Yun? Or open jaw? Is it Zhen Yan? Or Xu Shu? I thought about it, but I didn't know how many people were there. Who can turn the tide......

Liu Lan and Zhang Fei peeked motionlessly at the potter's subordinates who surrounded Gan Qian's courtyard under the hemp paper window, and silently counted the number of people in their hearts: "One, two, three." When I counted to thirty, my heart suddenly appeared: "Why are there only half of them?" ”

At this moment, I saw more than 30 people hurrying in the distance, and the leader was the man with a hemp pole who had talked to Liu Lan, shook his head slightly in his heart, and cursed in a low voice: "It's really a group of difficult guys, not only did the previous calculation not succeed. Even hiding in Gan Qian's house still didn't hide it from them. ”

At the same time as the hemp pole man walked over, the people around him hurriedly bowed to him, and the hemp pole man nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Liu Lan is inside?" ”

The henchman of the hemp pole man hurriedly came to his side and said in a low voice: "Head, Liu Lan is inside." ”

The man with hemp pole put his hands behind his back, looked at the room sharply, and said with a smile: "Liu Lan, we meet again." I won't let you run away again this time. ”

The surrounding area is quiet, and the farmers in the beautiful mountain village have already closed their doors because of worry, and they don't even dare to look at it.

The man looked at his henchman with some confusion and asked, "Is Liu Lan really inside?" ”

Hear the words. The henchman looked at him with a firm expression, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Head, Liu Lan is really inside." There was a hint of embarrassment on his face. He added: "When the little one found him just now, he also shot a cold arrow. It's a pity that he was able to avoid it. ”

The man looked at his henchman with an unhappy expression and glared at him. said: "You are so bold, if you startle the snake because of your arrow, let him escape, I will make it difficult for you to die." ”

Chang Fu, who was a pig-headed rat next to him, hurriedly echoed: "Head, do you want to send someone in to take a look, if Liu Lan and they have already escaped......"

"Liu Lan, they can't run."

The henchman hurriedly spoke: "When the little one shot that arrow, the house was already surrounded, and Liu Lan didn't want to escape even if he could fly." "Killing Liu Lan is a great achievement, if the previous arrow can kill him, not only can he be rewarded by the son, but he may not be able to replace the hemp pole man...... Thinking about this, no one shook his head imperceptibly, and sighed heavily in his heart, he missed a good opportunity.

The man nodded, looked into the room, and said, "What?" Could it be that Liu Yuanjun was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak? ”

"Haha."

Liu Lan laughed loudly and said, "You guys are really powerful, even more powerful than I imagined, but why are you so sure that I didn't run away from the hillside, but chased me from the bushes?" ”

"Liu Lan, I'm almost going to fall for you."

As he spoke, the man with a hemp pole thought with palpitations: "If I really insist on searching from the hillside, I will definitely let you escape!" "Once he escapes, the eldest prince will inevitably blame him, even if he is Cao Bao's nephew, I am afraid that he will not escape!" His heart trembled, if he really managed to escape, the eldest prince would inevitably send his head to him as soon as possible and push everything on himself...... sighed for a long time, fortunately this kind of thing didn't happen, like a boulder falling to the ground, and said: "It is precisely because Liu Yuanjun you are so powerful, so I don't dare to speculate, because Liu Yuanjun may choose those two roads, so I can only chase separately." ”

"Okay, okay."

Liu Lan said hello twice before he said, "You are very powerful, really powerful." After a cruel smile, he asked, "Then who found Liu hiding here again?" Liu was really curious about him, and wanted to see if this person could not grow into three heads and six arms, and after not finding Liu several times, he would still think that Liu was hiding here. ”

Seeing that the man nodded, the henchman stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's me, but I don't have three heads and six arms as Liu Yuanjun said." ”

Hearing what the man said, Liu Lan looked at him through the window, although his appearance was blurred, he could also see that this person was very tall, judging by the eye, at least about one meter eight, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and asked, "I don't know your Excellency's surname?" ”

"My surname is Wang, I don't have a name, but I am ranked sixteenth, so my brothers call me Wang Sixteen."

"King Sixteen? So can you tell us how you found me? ”

The man laughed smugly and said, "A beautiful woman's eyes can not only attract people, but also betray people. ”

What do you mean? Liu Lan looked at Wang Sixteen in confusion and asked, "She told you?" ”

"Not really."

Wang Sixteen laughed and said, "The first time we came to the village woman's house, we found a trace of weirdness. ”

Uncanny? Liu Lan didn't know why, so he just listened to the man continue: "Whether it's the ** in the hook fence, or the woman from a good family, when she is about to be ruined, she ...... when she is about to be ruined" said this, but he didn't know how to say it, and after thinking about it, he spoke again: "Although she struggled to resist, I still noticed the corner of his eye, and looked at the screen in the room from time to time." ”

"Screens?" Liu Lan said aloud curiously.

"Yes, it's a screen."

Wang Sixteen said affirmatively: "It's just that when I went to check the screen, I didn't find anything strange and suspicious, so I thought I was wrong, and then I led my men away." ”

"But." Wang Sixteen said: "But when I went out of the house and turned to the main street, I saw a trace of blood on the corner of the street, where it was. As he spoke, he pointed to the right path at the door of Gan Qian's house, and said, "I sent people to search back and forth, and found that the bloodstains had disappeared here. ”

He looked at the man with a lot of admiration, and said, "So I'm sure that the blood that has disappeared has either been cleared by you, or you have taken refuge in the farmhouse around here." Such a reduction in scope naturally makes it easier for us to find. ”

"So you came to the peasant woman's house for the second time?"

"No, because at that time I didn't think you were hiding in the peasant woman's house, but it wasn't until I went to the second farmhouse that I found something strange, which made me go to the village woman's house again, but unfortunately I still found nothing, but until this time, I was even more convinced that you were hiding somewhere in the peasant woman's house."

"Because of what?"

"Because of the words of the village women."

"What's wrong with her words?"

"Because when we knock on other farms, they keep asking us what we're going to do."

Wang Sixteen sneered, and said: "And the village woman only asked us the first time we came, and then she didn't ask again, I initially thought it was just because she was afraid and didn't dare to ask again, but the other villagers and the village woman didn't know if we were looking for people or things, but they were all asking what we were looking for, but the village woman only asked once and then stopped asking, and this unique thing alone was enough for me to go to the peasant woman's house for the second time." ”

"When I went to the peasant woman's house for the second time, I noticed that she was looking at me in a little panic."

"Of course he's going to be scared when you go and come back, what's the point?"

"Although there was nothing to do, I found that there were spilled water stains next to the screen, and there were also clothes on the corners of the village women's clothes. I immediately guessed that you were hiding behind the screen, but I checked behind the screen, and there was nothing strange there, so there was only one possibility, there must be a dark room behind the screen, and you must be hiding in it. ”

"Because I don't know if there is another way out of the dark room, so I can't act rashly, and since you are hiding in the secret room, you naturally won't know what is happening outside, so I coerced the village woman, and at the same time pretended to let my subordinates hurry up and search, in order to make you mistakenly think that we had left, while at the same time I quietly coerced the village woman back to her boudoir again, trying to trick you out."

Wang Sixteen's eyes flickered, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that you are not fooled, I know that you can't be lured, then I can only really leave, and at the same time secretly send someone to keep an eye on here, and you appeared soon after we left." ”

"I kept an eye on you while informing the chief, and until everything was right, I secretly shot an arrow at you, but unfortunately you were too clever to dodge."

Liu Lan was puzzled: "Why do you want to be like this, won't this startle the snake?" ”

Wang Sixteen said with a smile: "I just want to startle the snake, because I want to know whether the dark room behind the screen has a way to escape." So if this arrow can shoot you to death, then it will be fine, if it can't be shot, and there is another way out of the dark room, then I can also follow the dark room to find you, so you will not escape no matter what. ”

Liu Lan admired this person's scheming in his heart, and praised: "It's a pity that there is no way out in the dark room. ”

"So you're now a turtle in an urn." (To be continued.) )
