Cao Shuo recognized the general who came over.

Although the memories before the crossing are not clear, there are fragments.

Through these scattered memory fragments, Cao Shuo recognized that it was Hu Che'er, a fierce general under Zhang Xiu, who came over.

Recognizing Hu Che'er, he retreated to the side of the road, clenched his fists and bowed his head with a respectful look.

When the two guards saw him like this, they also clenched their fists and bowed their heads.

Walking past them, Hu Che'er glanced at the servants and didn't say much.

It wasn't until Hu Che'er walked away that Cao Shuo beckoned to the two guards: "Hurry up!" ”

The servants almost trotted all the way to the outer courtyard.

Hu Che'er went to Cao Shuo's residence.

Zhang Xiu decided to launch a rebellion, and before sending troops to attack Cao Cao, killing Cao Shuo and taking his head was definitely an excellent deterrent to Cao Cao.

Coming to the door of Cao Shuo's residence, Hu Che'er asked the guard, "Is the second son of the Cao family here?" ”

"The second son has never been out." A guard answered.

Pushing the door into the house, Hu Che'er was about to call Cao Shuo, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

By the light of the snow that had penetrated the room, he saw three people lying in the room.

Walking quickly to one of them, Hu Che'er found that this person had a sword wound that penetrated his heart.

The man was dead, and his clothes had been stripped off, and there were three sets of discarded clothes on the ground.

When he passed by Cao Shuo and the others just now, he felt a little strange.

It's so late, how can there be soldiers who are idle?

Until he saw these three corpses, he completely understood!

Cao Shuo got the news and had fled under the escort of the guards!

Thinking about everything, Hu Che'er got up and ordered the soldiers: "Immediately send the order, Cao Zirong has escaped!" Let people search everywhere, focusing on the soldiers of our army in the first team of servants! ”

Fleeing with two guards, Cao Shuo had already expected Hu Che'er to find them.

After walking a short distance, he said to the two guards: "Hu Che'er must have discovered that we have escaped, it is really dangerous to walk together, from now on you two together, I will go out alone." Meet at the east gate of the city. ”

"Childe is alone, how can we rest assured?" One of the guards said, "I'll leave alone, and Childe will go with him." ”

"Stop fighting." Cao Shuo said: "I'm still freer alone, and it's troublesome to get in the way with you." ”

Staying in Wancheng is to protect him.

Unexpectedly, he said that it was an obstacle, and the two guards were stunned for a moment.

"If we don't leave, we'll all die, stop being verbose." Cao Shuo urged: "Hurry up!" ”

At his urging, the two guards had to go.

The two saluted Cao Shuo and turned to leave.

They walked a few steps and looked back.

Leaving Cao Shuo alone, the two of them were really relieved.

But what Cao Shuo said is not unreasonable.

Since Hu Che'er found out that they had escaped, he must have known that they were together.

Together with Cao Shuo, they were more likely to be the target of Zhang Xiujun's search.

After the two guards left, Cao Shuo quickly burrowed into the bushes on the side of the road.

It was still some distance from the outer courtyard, and the alarmed Zhang Xiujun searched everywhere for him and the two guards.

Although he has been separated from the guards, most of the guards here know him.

It's still too ostentatious to walk along the road!

The trees planted on both sides of the courtyard were not dense, and if it wasn't at night, his whereabouts could easily be discovered by the other party.

The snow falls very hard, and it doesn't take long for the footprints left behind to be covered with snow.

The night and snow gave him the best cover, making Cao Shuo feel that it was not impossible to escape from Wancheng alive.

"Don't let Cao Shuo go!" As he was walking towards the outer courtyard under the cover of trees, Cao Shuo heard a shout.

A sound of footsteps came towards him.

Hurriedly squatting down and looking out, he saw two teams of Zhang Xiujun running from two directions.

"Stop!" The two teams approached and shouted almost at the same time.

There were obviously only three people on both sides, but the officer who led the team still ordered his men to check on each other.

After making sure that there was no Cao Shuo and others in the opposing team, the two teams of Zhang Xiujun walked away separately.

Seeing this scene, Cao Shuo shook his head with a smile.

In order to search for him, the guards here have really put a lot of effort into it, and they can't even trust their own people, and it's probably impossible to fish in troubled waters!

It was late, and it wasn't yet midnight.

The guards are still searching like a grate.

There is a house not far ahead, and it will be less difficult to hide there for a while, and then find a way to escape when the search is a little more relaxed.

Looking left and right to make sure that there were no guards nearby for the time being, Cao Shuo jumped out of the bushes and ran quickly towards the houses.

When he reached the front of the house, he gently pushed open a door and dodged inside.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a crisp voice: "Who?" ”

It was dark in the room, and Cao Shuo couldn't see where the other party was.

Coincidentally, after asking, the owner of the voice actually lit a fire and wanted to light the oil lamp to check.

The moment the fire was lit, Cao Shuo rushed over.

Blowing out the fire in one gulp, before the woman screamed, Cao Shuo covered her mouth: "Don't make noise! ”

He covered her mouth, and the woman's eyes widened in horror.

Cao Shuo could feel that the hand covering her mouth was sprayed with warm heat.

Due to nervousness and fear, the woman's breathing was rapid, and her heartbeat was also accelerating, and Cao Shuo could even hear the sound of her heartbeat.

"If you don't want to die, don't make a noise." He whispered, "I don't want to kill a woman, but I will never regret killing a woman who is messing with me!" ”

The woman nodded vigorously.

Letting go of her mouth, Cao Shuo asked, "Who are you?" ”

No response.

"I'm asking you." Cao Shuo asked in a low voice.

"Who are you?" The woman didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Just answer me." Cao Shuo said: "As for who I am, you don't need to know. ”

There was another shout in the distance: "Sou, don't let go of a corner, don't let Cao Zirong go!" ”

"Are you Cao Zirong?" The woman asked.

"Pretty smart." Cao Shuo said: "But smart women tend to die quickly. ”

"Kill me, and you won't be able to escape." After a few words with him, the woman became bold: "If I help you, you will be much more likely to escape." ”

"Can you help me?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why should I believe you?" ”

"Not by anything." The woman said: "I don't want to die at the hands of your Cao family when Cao Cao calls again in the future." ”

"Again, why should I believe you?" Cao Shuo asked.

The woman said, "You don't have a choice but to believe me, do you?" ”

Staring at her eyes shining in the night, Cao Shuo didn't say a word.

At this moment, the footsteps outside approached, and a voice came in: "Search every room for me!" ”
