It's not too late, in other words, it should be more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it's not too late. In the case of Xudu, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it is the time when the night market is at its most prosperous.

And the original secret passage that Cao Hua discovered and has been using is not directly able to reach the outside of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but can only reach a small garden near the outer courtyard wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the exit is in a rockery in the garden. There are still more than ten or twenty steps away from the courtyard wall.

Cao Hua usually goes in and out, sneaking out of the rockery, borrowing the flowers and plants in the garden as a cover, avoiding the eyes and ears of the caretaker who is watching the courtyard wall, and drilling out through a small hole under the wall. This small hole is a living wall, but it was made by Cao Hua. Originally, it was supposed to be a dog hole or something, but she got some bricks and stones, and after moving, after entering and exiting, she could put it back again. In this way, no one found out, and it has never been completely blocked by the people of the Cao family.

From the rockery to the exit, this short period of more than ten steps is the most fatal, if one is not careful, let those who guard the Cao family find out, they are afraid that it will be difficult to steal out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, Cao Hua, who is familiar with the road, does not feel that the distance of ten or twenty steps will be a problem, after all, as long as you are careful, don't make a noise, don't let those who take care of the home and nursing home notice, there is a great chance of successfully sneaking out, and those people can't always stare at the rockery in the small garden, not to mention, they won't think at all, someone will sneak out of the rockery, will dive outside from under their noses.

At this moment, the problem that Cao Hua discovered was that she forgot a small detail. That is Cao Jie now, still wearing some dresses that are undoubtedly the same.

To know. Now, outside the street. Although people come and go, but, leaning around the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are not too many people who dare to approach, and there will be patrolling Cao soldiers on the courtyard wall, as well as inside and outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as Cao Hua and Cao Jie went outside, then Cao Bing would definitely find out that they appeared on the street so suddenly. will definitely attract Cao Bing's attention, then, he will definitely recognize Cao Jielai.

Cao Hua himself was already dressed in men's clothes, and when he arrived on the street outside, at most, it made Cao Bing feel a little sudden, and he would not delve into it or pay too much attention to it. But if Cao Jie appears in women's clothing, her identity will definitely be exposed. At that time, she was not easy to explain to those Cao Bing, and she would inevitably let Cao Bing escort him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that she would. The plan to run away from home will definitely come to naught.

At this moment, they were thinking about how to secretly leave the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Liu Yi. Since then, he has been flying high with Liu Yiyuan, so. In any case, I don't want to leave home halfway. If only now. If you can't run away from home, then I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. Although Liu Yi said that if they didn't leave home to join him after midnight, they would sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion to take them, but they were not fools, and they knew how difficult it was for Liu Yi to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion to take them away, in case Liu Yi was discovered by his own housekeeper and nursing master, then Liu Yi might be in danger.

Since Cao Hua found that Cao Jie's current dress was a little out of place, she immediately took off the burden she was carrying, took out a set of men's clothes, and asked Cao Jie to change into it immediately.

Now they were at the exit of the secret passage, and they didn't dare to communicate too much, for fear of being heard by people not far outside. Cao Jie also knew that she was too anxious, so she didn't think of dressing up as a man, so she took the men's clothes that Cao Hua gave her and changed them at the exit of the secret passage.

……

It was very dark in the secret passage, and I couldn't see the king's finger.

Secretly followed Cao Xian, who walked into the secret passage, she was a little annoyed, annoyed why she didn't bring the lights down.

Well, when she saw the figure of Cao Jie's ghosts and ghosts, how could she still hold back the curiosity in her heart?

What's more, Cao Xian was already suspicious of Cao Jie and Cao Hua, and suspected that these two sisters had something to hide from her eldest sister.

Cao Xian's heart also understands that Cao Jie and Cao Hua are two daughters, one is ice and snow smart, and the other is naïve and cunning, and the other is a bold and wild girl who is difficult to train. If you don't keep an eye on them, I'm afraid they'll really do something.

In particular, for this time to marry into the palace, don't say that it is Cao Jie and Cao Hua, two sisters, and she Cao Xian also has a reluctant idea in her heart, but she sighs that she was born in the Houmen family, and she has no way to control her own destiny.

In order to prevent his father, who is already too busy, from worrying about the affairs of these children, Cao Xian believes that he, as the eldest sister, is indeed obliged to share some of the burden for his father, and is responsible for keeping an eye on the two younger sisters, so that his father's plan can be carried out smoothly, which is what he should do.

Therefore, as soon as she saw Cao Jie secretly running to Cao Hua's attic, she immediately thought that these two sisters were afraid that they would really have to do something surprising.

She can be said to have entered Cao Hua's attic with Cao Jie's front foot and back foot.

It's just that Cao Hua has been waiting for a long time, and there is no delay, and he immediately took Cao Hua directly into the secret passage. When Cao Xian wanted to stop the two sisters and interrogate them about what they were hiding from him, Cao Hua had already dragged Cao Jie into the dark secret passage.

Cao Xian saw Cao Hua's movements, but he couldn't call it, so he could only learn Cao Hua's movements, opened the entrance of the secret passage, followed the footsteps of the two sisters, and entered the secret passage.

She forgot to get the light for a while, and when she wanted to get it, the entrance to the secret passage automatically closed again, and she saw how Cao Hua opened the entrance to the secret passage from the outside, but she didn't see how Cao Hua opened it inside the secret passage. There was no way, so she had to follow up in the dark.

At first, she could faintly see a little light in Cao Hua's hand in front of her, but after Cao Hua and Cao Jie walked away, she couldn't see any light behind her. In the dark secret passage, Cao Xian had an indescribable sense of oppression and panic.

Bite the bullet and feel the wall of the cave to move forward.

Fortunately, the secret path is not too long, and it didn't take long. She had already reached the exit of the secret passage.

When she touched the exit of the secret passage, she happened to see Cao Jie under Cao Hua's urging. He changed into a man's clothes, and was about to go out through the hole through which the light had entered.

"Stop! What do you sisters want to do? ”

Cao Xian is in the cave. panicked and anxious, she was afraid that after Cao Jie and Cao Hua left, the entrance to the secret passage would automatically close, so that she didn't know what to do if she was locked in the secret passage. Therefore, she hurriedly snorted and wanted to drink Cao Jie and Cao Hua.

At this moment, Cao Jie and Cao Hua are also in a high state of tension, after all. Whether he can leave the house and go outside to meet Leo Yi depends on this moment. From here, sneaking close to the courtyard wall, from the dark hole to the street outside, confusing the ears and eyes of the soldiers guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion, pretending to be pedestrians, avoiding the patrolling soldiers outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them have to see this moment.

Now, all their attention. It was all outside, and neither of the two women expected that anyone would come from the cave.

Therefore, Cao Xian's shout stopped and scared Cao Jie and Cao Hua. Barely frightened to climb down to the ground. You know, this is a failure, and you can leave the house right now. Went outside, now. But it was discovered.

"Jie'er, Hua'er, what are you going to do? How can there be an authentic here? It can't be a good thing you did Hua'er, right? ”

Cao Xian staggered out of the darkness. As he walked, he asked suspiciously, as if he had to figure out what Cao Jie and Cao Hua were doing.

Cao Xian's voice was a little loud, and it was all transmitted outside.

At this moment, Cao Jie's face was a little like ashes, and he felt that it was over, and he was chased by his sister, and he definitely couldn't escape.

However, Cao Hua was the first to respond, after all, she was a martial artist, and her courage was much greater than that of Cao Jie. What's more, now, her body has been given to Liu Yi, and in the bottom of her heart, there is an obsession that no one can stop her from being with Liu Yi. No matter who it is, they can't stop her.

At that moment, her figure flashed, and before Cao Xian had time to speak, she immediately slashed a knife directly at the back of Cao Xian's neck.

"You ......" Cao Xian didn't react, and he didn't expect Cao Hua to dare to attack her, but he just said a word in horror, and he felt a pain in his neck, his eyes were black, his body was soft, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Hua'er, you, what are you doing?" Cao Jie saw it clearly, and looked at the two girls in the cave with a little surprise.

"Shh......h

Cao Hua stepped forward, covered Cao Jie's small mouth, made a silent action, and at the same time, raised his hand and made a fist, extinguishing the light that had not been extinguished.

Inside the cave, all of a sudden it fell into darkness.

Whoa......

"Who!"

Outside the rockery, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by a low shout.

"Strange, how do I hear someone talking? Who of you just heard? Did you hear someone talking around here? ”

"Didn't anyone hear it?"

……

"No, no......"

"Hmph, you keep an eye on it, the Prime Minister's Mansion can't tolerate the slightest negligence, don't take it lightly, and never let anyone sneak in. If it is not good for the prime minister to let thieves or assassins infiltrate, none of us can get out of it. ”

"Yes!"

……

When Cao Cao came back from the defeat, he was a little worried about whether Liu Yi would treat him in the same way as others. It is true that he has many masters around him to guard, but how can there be a lack of masters by Liu Yi's side? Just the great swordsman Wang Yue, who could assassinate the enemy in the midst of thousands of troops, would make Cao Cao unable to sleep. Recently, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been heavily guarded, and it is not mainly aimed at the Cao sisters, beware of them running away from home, after all, Cao Cao will not know that Cao Jie and Cao Hua are going to run away from home. The Prime Minister's Mansion was heavily guarded, mainly to guard against Liu Yi's revenge and the revenge of the assassins of the New Han Dynasty. Now, Liu Yi was assassinated by him and Yuan Shao and fell into the Yellow River, I don't know if he is alive or dead, can Cao Cao take it lightly?

"Let's go, follow me to the back garden to patrol, don't let the prime minister's family have an accident."

With the greeting of the man who was supposed to be the leader, a sound of footsteps walked away.

"Sister Hua'er, you, what happened to your eldest sister?" Cao Jie dared to ask softly for a long time, with anxiety in his tone.

"Hehe, it's okay, I knocked my eldest sister unconscious." Cao Hua was not afraid of heaven and earth, but then he was a little anxious: "Damn, how could you let the eldest sister follow?" What should I do now? Soldiers, go to the backyard. I'm definitely looking for the eldest sister, if I can't find it......"

"Then, let's send the eldest sister back quickly." Cao Jie also understood. If the talented people can't find their sister in the backyard, then they will definitely be vigilant. It is necessary to block Caofu and search for people.

"Forget it, don't do it, second sister, we have no way back now, once people find out that the eldest sister and we are not there, we will be under martial law immediately. If we don't leave now, we'll be too late. At that time, even if Brother Liu Yi wants to come and take us away, it may not be easy. ”

"Y-What do you want to do?"

"Let's go now. Quick, take the eldest sister away. ”

"What? Take the eldest sister away too? How can this? ”

"Second sister, now is not the time to talk about this, if you don't take the eldest sister with you, what do you say? Leave the eldest sister here? What if the eldest sister is left here and something happens, what do you tell us to do? No matter, I'll carry the eldest sister, you're in front. Pay attention to others who let you find out. ”

Cao Hua's courage was really big, she felt that she didn't feel at ease to leave her eldest sister in this secret passage, so she simply took her sister away with her heart.

She was carrying a man on her back. It's nothing. directly used Cao Xian's ribbon to tie Cao Xian's back on his back, and quietly climbed out of the secret passage with Cao Jie.

Maybe it's the leader of the family soldiers. took some of Cao Bing away, but Cao Jie and Cao Hua were not discovered.

Cao Hua crouched at the entrance of the hidden cave under the courtyard wall. Carefully remove the loose masonry for a moment. I opened a big hole that people could climb out of.

Outside the wall is the street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now, the outside is still brightly lit, and the street is occasionally walked by pedestrians, and from time to time a patrol team walks by.

Cao Hua watched the patrol walk over, aimed at no pedestrians to notice her, and immediately pulled Cao Jie, drilled out of the hole, and followed the brisk walk to the middle of the street.

On the courtyard wall, there are also Cao soldiers patrolling back and forth, but they will not always keep an eye on a certain place, let alone notice that under their courtyard wall, someone will be so bold to get out from under their noses.

They didn't even notice for a moment that there were two or three more people on the street below. I thought these two or three people were walking down the street all the time.

Walked up to a group of Cao soldiers.

They noticed that two men were carrying a woman on their backs, and their movements seemed a little suspicious.

However, Cao Hua was very clever, and said to Cao Jie hoarsely: "Second brother, why haven't you come to the doctor yet?" What street is the doctor you talking about? The eldest sister may not be able to stand it, so let's go faster. ”

Hearing Cao Hua's words, those patrolling Cao soldiers seemed to be a little relieved. The self-righteous misunderstanding was that the two brothers took their sister to seek medical treatment, but for a while, they didn't suspect anything, and they didn't deliberately stop Cao Jie and Cao Hua from interrogating.

This is mainly in the Cao Mansion, for the time being, no one has discovered that the three sisters of the Cao family are missing, if they do, I am afraid they will not dare to let Cao Jie and Cao Hua leave.

The two girls took Cao Xian and quickly slipped to another street, and then rushed to their destination.

At this time, within the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was suddenly chaotic.

The commander of the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, at first, he thought that he had heard it wrong, but after calming down and thinking about it, he thought that he must not have heard it wrong, and there must be someone talking in the garden. However, for a moment, he could not find the source of the sound. With doubts in his mind, he went to the backyard and met Cao Cao's wives and concubines, asking to see Cao Xian.

Cao Xian was faintly equivalent to the head of Cao Cao's backyard, and when he felt that something was wrong, he wanted to find Cao Xian in the first place.

As a result, the next person went to find Cao Xian, but naturally he couldn't find it. However, everyone knows that in the past few days, Cao Xian has been with Cao Hua and Cao Jie sisters. I found the attic of Cao Jie and Cao Hua again.

At this moment, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion panicked. Because, let alone Cao Xian, even Cao Jie and Cao Hua are gone, especially in Cao Hua's attic, those servants were knocked unconscious.

Well, if Cao Hua had broken away those subordinate maids, for a while, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion would not have thought of any accidents that had happened to the three daughters, and they might have to look for a while in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they would have misunderstood that they had gone to the attic of a certain lady or sister together. However, those servants in Cao Hua's attic were directly knocked unconscious, so they knew that something was wrong at a glance.

At that moment, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion moved at once, and Cao Cao's wives ordered that the Prime Minister's Mansion be blocked immediately, all the family guards, and all the guards were all dispatched, first search in the Prime Minister's Mansion to see if they can search for Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua's three sisters.

At the beginning, the masters recruited by Cao Cao committed crimes near Xudu, which made the people of Xudu panic, and those wives of Cao Cao naturally did not know that it was the good deeds of those masters recruited by Cao Cao. They were worried that the three sisters had been poisoned by those whore.

On the other hand, he also immediately sent someone to inform Cao Cao that Cao Cao had disappeared the three sisters Cao Xian, Cao Jie, and Cao Hua.

Soon, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was searched, but there was no trace of the three daughters. This made everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion panic.

It's too sudden, unprovoked, the three girls disappeared at the same time, how can they not panic? You must know that the defense of the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been extremely strict, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there are at least more than ten or twenty first-class masters who are secretly protecting Cao Cao's family, but in this case, the three daughters are gone.
