Chapter 168: It turned out that someone was left behind

Yang Guang took Zhang Xutuo out of the grove near Wanshanni Temple and walked straight in the direction of Xishi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Along the way, he was nervously recalling what happened that night in the stone house courtyard: when Qu Tutong led the reinforcements to arrive, blocked a group of pleasure seekers and secret prostitutes in the stone house courtyard, and drove them to the upper room one by one, he and Yu Juluo and Qu Tutong came to the front yard of what seemed to be a small temple, and found a compartment that was said to be Hua Gu's daily rest behind the statue of Guanyin enshrined in the so-called main hall in the front yard. A cat (Yu Chi Fanglin) told the secret of the secret passage under the base of the Guanyin statue in public, Qu Tutong immediately led the sergeant into the secret passage to track Hua Gu and the red-haired boy, and then found that this secret passage leads to the vicinity of Wanshanni Temple, so that he took it for granted that Hua Gu and others fled from the secret passage to Wanshanni Temple to hide.

At the same time, following another clue, that is, the monk Huizhen was found dead in the abbot of the Great Solemn Temple, with two sharp tooth marks on his neck, and he and Sima Luo followed Yujuluo out of the stone house courtyard in the middle of the night, and the group of bats encountered in the dark passage of the sweet water road, the tooth marks left by the bite were only different in size and depth from the tooth marks on the neck of the monk Huizhen, and the shape was extremely similar. Then, according to the information obtained in the palace later, it was further determined that Hua Gu was likely to be the subordinate of Guan Zizai, the spy leader sent by Nan Chen to Chang'an.

Yang Guang repeatedly thought about the cause and effect of this incident and the whole thing in his mind, except that An Ruoxi reminded him that Wanshanni Temple was already heavily guarded, and it was impossible to hide Nan Chen's spies, it seemed that there were no obvious loopholes in his inference process.

Ah Mao, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that Wei Chiyu's granddaughter would collude with Nan Chen and deliberately mislead herself. Judging from the cat's performance in the upper room of the stone house that night, she definitely didn't look like a Hua Gu's gang.

Yang Guang couldn't get any results after thinking for a long time, but when he looked up, he saw that a huge west market had entered his field of vision.

However, although he clearly remembered that the strange stone house courtyard was near the West Market, he could not find the entrance to the secret passage of Sweet Water Road at this time.

Before the crossing, he was a road idiot, and even in the courtyard of the Provincial Museum, he sometimes lost his way, so that the teachers of the Volunteer Home of the Provincial Museum advised him more than once that if he wanted to explore more historical secrets, he must first have and master the relevant geographical knowledge and basic skills of discernment.

Yang Guang led Zhang Xutuo to walk back and forth around several streets around the West Market twice, but he couldn't find the entrance to the stone house, not to mention the entrance of the Tianshui Road, which was already very hidden, and even the bitter water road that had left a creepy impression on Yang Guang couldn't be found.

Fortunately, he was followed by Zhang Xutuo, who was dull but sincere, although he was led by Yang Guang around the West Market, he never told him where the destination of this trip was, and he also strictly followed the rules of Qianniuwei and never asked Yang Guang a word.

Finally, when Yang Guang led Zhang Xutuo around the West Market to the third circle, Xian Yuluo and Yujuluo arrived with more than a dozen forbidden soldiers.

Unlike Zhang Xutuo, the old and sophisticated Yu Juluo glanced at the details at a glance from Yang Guang's anxious and somewhat panicked expression, but he didn't break it, and only scolded somewhere more than a dozen steps away: "Liu'er is waiting here to guard, is it for decoration?" Why don't you get out and knock on His Royal Highness King Jin. ”

With his reprimand, Yang Guang saw that after a low wall that seemed to be abandoned only a dozen steps away from him, he stood up and stood up two strong men wearing dark clothes and pants and carrying swords, rushed to him, bowed down and saluted: "Little knock to see the prince." ”

"Lord Wang, the two of them are the forbidden army sergeants who were ordered by General Qu to stay here to monitor the movements of the stone house courtyard." Yu Juluo introduced the two plainclothes sergeants to Yang Guang, and asked the two with a tense face, "How is it, have you found any suspicious people approaching the stone house courtyard in the past few days?" ”

One of the plainclothes sergeants hurriedly clasped his fist at Yu Juluo and replied, "Back to the general, I have not found anyone approaching the entrance of the secret passage that I am responsible for guarding. As for the situation elsewhere, I don't know. ”

"Lord, look, are we going through the dark passage of the Sweet Water Road and entering the Stone House Courtyard, or are we still entering through the Bitter Water Road?" Yuju Rakshasa's face was full of smiles and asked Yang Guangdao.

Yang Guang was afraid that he would encounter the blood bat again in the dark passage, so he ordered Yu Juluo to enter through the bitter water road instead.

When the group came to the entrance of Kushui Road, which was only one street away from the exit of the dark passage of Tianshui Road, under the guidance of Yu Juluo, two plainclothes sergeants who were ordered to guard here appeared to see Yang Guang.

Yang Guang raised his eyes to look at the bitter water road, but saw that *****the bitter water road full of eerie atmosphere in his memory was nothing more than two slum-like alleys, compared with the ordinary back streets and alleys, these two alleys looked like they had just been hit by a fire, and the streets and alleys were full of broken pillars and broken beams that were not enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and the ground could be seen everywhere, dripping with smelly dirty water.

Yang Guang frowned, covered his nose, and easily followed Yu Juluo through two alleys and came to the front yard of the Stone House Courtyard, and saw that there were still two forbidden army sergeants in civilian clothes who were in charge of guarding, so he asked Yu Juluo: "How many people did Qu Tutong arrange to guard near the Stone House Courtyard?" ”

"Probably except for the secret passage that has been filled, all the important places in and out of this stone house courtyard have been sent to keep an eye on it, and the total number of people should not be less than twenty. Why did the prince think of coming to the stone house again today, could it be that he found something else strange in it? ”

"Oh, I only occasionally thought that since Hua Gu has the ability to build such a secret place in Chang'an City, and also built two secret passages in it, will she have another hiding place in this stone house courtyard, she did not escape from the secret passage that night, but first hid in, for example, a secret room, and then quietly slipped away while our precautions were relaxed. So, let's take a look again today. Yang Guang was reluctant to mention An Ruoxi to Yujuluo, so he casually made up a reason to perfunctory him.

"The prince is really a god." Yu Juluo deliberately pretended to admire Yang Guang so much that he was on the ground, and blurted out in admiration, "Why didn't Lao Er think of this possibility?" Lord Wang, let's go in and search again today, there must be a secret room built in this courtyard. (To be continued.) )
