Chapter Eighty-Eight: Retreat
There was a low barking of the dog, and a beggar sleeping in the corner turned over and touched the dog's head, and the big yellow dog fell down very obediently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The info beggar took a chicken leg from the dog's mouth and feasted on it. Every day this person goes out to beg, and every night there will be a big yellow dog to bring him food, and it is sent in a different way, which is enviable to others.
This ragged beggar is the missing Hu Tai, who disguised himself as a beggar a few days ago when the bad people searched the city, mixed in Xicheng, and waited for the opportunity to escape from Yecheng and fly away. This time he came to Yecheng was entrusted by his brother-in-law Cao Xi, and now whenever he thinks of this, Hu Tai will greet Cao Xi's family.
Suddenly, the big yellow dog became agitated and barked at the alley. Hu Tai spit out the chicken bones in his mouth, shrank into the corner, and reached for the whip in his arms with his right hand, looking at the alley very vigilantly. Over the years, Hu Tai has dealt with animals more than people. His dog definitely didn't lie to him, and danger was approaching.
"Brother Hu, it's so elegant. actually ran here to live happily, regardless of the lives of others. Cao Xi and his party appeared at the entrance of the alley, biting very hard. Hu Tai heard Cao Xi's voice, and his teeth creaked. Hu Tai's identity is only known to Cao Xi, if it wasn't for Cao Xi and his master's betrayal, how would the bad people know his identity, let alone search for him.
Hu Tai didn't speak, he straightened the hair that was blocking his eyes, and pulled out the whip in his arms and whipped it towards Cao Xi. Cao Xi had already seen Hu Tai's movements, and turned slightly sideways to dodge Hu Tai's attack. Several people who followed behind Cao Xi also took out their weapons and surrounded Hu Tai.
In the encirclement, Hu Tai did not have a trace of panic, took out a jade flute from his arms, gently put it to his lips, and the beautiful flute sounded. But with the sound of the flute, it was the Grim Reaper, and countless poisonous snakes and poisonous insects crawled from all directions, densely making people frightened. One of them was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect, and after a while, his body trembled, foamed at the mouth, and he bled to death.
Cao Xi and his party waved the weapons in their hands to drive away snakes and insects, but the effect was not very ideal. One after another, people fell, and the death was very ugly. Cao Xi relied on his kung fu to escape from the mouth of the poison many times, but his subordinates were not so lucky, and they fell under the mouths of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.
Suddenly, countless torches rose into the air and smashed to the ground. The poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that could not be avoided were burned by the torches, emitting a foul smell. Several unscrupulous people carried wooden barrels and kept sprinkling medicinal powder around, and the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that were rampant just now receded like a tide. The medicinal powder was made by Cao Shuang and asked Qin to repair it, and since Hu Tai is a beast trainer, he will also drive some insects or something, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy.
"Come on, take them down." As soon as Yuan Le waved his hand, the bad people rushed forward.
Cao Xi was not afraid at all, and fought with the bad people with the long sword in his hand. Hu Tai wanted to take advantage of the panic to escape, but his every move was in the eyes of one person. A feather arrow, breaking through the air, was inserted in Hu Tai's right leg impartially, and several bad people from Xuchang took Hu Tai down together, and Hu Tian struggled a few times and then gave up. Cao Shuang wore a hat and a black cloak, and Qi Fei stayed by his side motionlessly. Now Qi Fei, the masters around him are like clouds, he doesn't need to do it himself, the person who shot the arrow just now was also brought by Qi Fei from Xuchang, this person has excellent archery skills, and is known as a god of archery.
With the addition of the bad guy masters, Cao Xi gradually felt overwhelmed, and he had to be distracted to guard against the cold arrow behind him, which was very hard. There were more and more wounds on Cao Xi's body, and his physical strength was exhausted. It was only a matter of time before Cao Xi was caught, Cao Shuang saw everything in his eyes, his right index finger and middle finger kept rubbing, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
"Catch me alive, don't die for me." Cao Shuang opened his mouth and pointed to the side of the wall, "Look, look, what is that?" ”
All the attention was shifted by Cao Shuang to one side of the wall, taking advantage of the distraction of the bad people, Cao Xi swept away the offensive of several people, took advantage of the wall, jumped over the wall and escaped. Qi Fei asked people to chase Cao Xi, Cao Shuang waved his hand, "Don't chase it, let's interrogate Hu Tai first." ”
Cao Shuang's abnormality made Qi Fei very puzzled, but he didn't ask more. Seeing that Qi Fei didn't say anything, Yuan Le didn't say anything, his top boss was respectful to this mysterious envoy, why did he bother to touch this moldy head. Hu Tai was taken to the Yecheng Bad Office, and Cao Shuang and Qi Fei were personally interrogated, after all, the case involved Cao Cao's father and son.
"Say, I'll say anything." There was no need for Cao Shuang and Qi Fei to ask, so Hu Tai took the initiative to start explaining. Cao Shuang turned his back to Hu Tai and thought with his hands behind his back. Qi Fei held a pen to record, and did not dare to omit a word. It turned out that it was Cao Xi who summoned the people in the rivers and lakes, including Hu Tai, and each gave them a large sum of money to assassinate Cao Zhi and Cao Cao. When Cao Zhi was assassinated in the north of the city, Hu Tai's animal taming skills came in handy.
"I know who Cao Xi is." In order to survive, Hu Tai was ready to sell Cao Pi. Hearing Hu Tai's words, Qi Fei's eyes lit up. Cao Shuang turned around and put his right index finger on Hu Tai's mouth, "Needless to say, it's okay to stop here, I don't want to know anything." ”
Qi Fei was very puzzled and leaned over to Cao Shuang's side, "Childe, the talent behind the scenes is the focus of this case. ”
"Cao Xi's true identity is the killer of Suolifetang." Cao Shuang threw a sign on the table, approached Qi Fei and said, "You are now the chief officer of the bad guys, and sometimes you need to think about the overall situation. ”
The wooden plaque on the table was proof of the identity of the killer of the Suo Ming Hall, and Qi Fei knew at a glance that it was fake. Since the last hunt assassination, the bad guys have also collected a lot of news about the Seeling Hall. Cao Xi is Cao Pi's chief of guard, and Qi Fei can't be sure how much Cao Pi has fallen into. But he was born in the Tiger Guard, and his loyalty to Cao Cao was engraved in his bones, so he should find out about this matter and tell Cao Cao what he really wanted. But in that case, it will push the bad people to the forefront, and after some struggle, Qi Fei's clenched fists were sent away, and the three words Suo Mingtang were written on Hu Tai's confession.
The assassination was also characterized as revenge for Suo Ming Tang, and after reading Hu Tai's confession, Cao Cao ordered Cao Tai to be arrested, and Hu Tai was also executed. Cao Zhi's suspicion was cleared, the grounding was lifted, and because of Cao Cao's pressure, the case was closed, and everyone was happy. Cao Shuang also secretly returned to Xuchang, and only a very few people knew that the case had passed through Cao Shuang's hands.
The credit for this matter is all on the heads of the bad people, and Suomingtang also carried a big black pot in a daze, which also shocked Suomingtang's reputation in the rivers and lakes, and it was not simple to dare to assassinate Cao Cao three times and twice.
On the wall of Yecheng, Qi Fei held on to the city wall and watched a few dark clouds cross the moon, "Sometimes black is not simply black. ”
