Temple of Mercy and Grace, in the incense room where Hou Jie lived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to Zhang Bao'er's ins and outs, Hou Jie suddenly became anxious: "What? They told you to kick the gambling house? Did you say yes? ”

Zhang Bao'er smiled bitterly: "Can I not agree?" Those people are ruthless, if you don't agree, I'm afraid I won't see you now! ”

"What then? Otherwise, now we will secretly leave Chang'an and return to Chenzhou! Hou Jie whispered.

"Now?" Zhang Bao'er shook her head and said: "It's impossible, I'm being watched by them now, even to see you, they have sent several people to follow, and now there is only one way to escape!" ”

"Bao'er, why don't we go and report to the official?" Hou Jie proposed again.

Zhang Baoer looked at Hou Jie like a monster: "I said monkey, you are stupid, they dare to kill people in the street, are you afraid that we will report to the official?" I'm afraid that if we report to the officials, the government will hand us over to them again, and we will die even worse! ”

"So what do you say we should do?" Hou Jie rubbed his hands in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper Hu said, he will give me a few days to prepare, and then go to the Qiankun Gambling House to play, I want to stabilize them first, you listen to me, we ......"

……

"Tuk Tuk!"

At dusk, there was a knock on the door outside the shopkeeper's house.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and Zhang Baoer walked in.

"Bao'er, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Zhang Baoer in surprise.

Zhang Bao'er sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

"Bao'er, you say!"

"I don't want to kick the gym!" Zhang Baoer said bluntly: "Whether it is Tiantong Gambling House or Qiankun Gambling Workshop, no one who goes to the gym will have a good end!" What's the difference between this and death? ”

Shopkeeper Hu was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "Some things can't be changed, Bao'er, do you know what the consequences will be if you don't go to the gym?" ”

"Of course I know, it's a death anyway, I'm going to take a shot, and I'm going to win a game for myself!"

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Zhang Bao'er for a while, and then asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do now?" ”

Zhang Baoer told the shopkeeper Hu what he had discussed with Hou Jie, and then begged: "I want to escape!" I hope that the shopkeeper Hu will be fulfilled, and Bao'er will thank you for your great kindness for a lifetime! ”

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said: "Bao'er, it's not as simple as you think, you can't escape, die of this heart as soon as possible!" ”

"No, I can't wait to die!" Zhang Baoer clenched her fists: "Even if I am caught, I admit it, and ask Shopkeeper Hu to help me this time!" ”

After a long time, the shopkeeper Hu muttered: "I'm old enough, so I'll help you this time......"

……

At the end of the day, in the front hall of Tiantong Gambling House, gamblers were shouting five and six.

In the dark in the backyard of the gambling house, a man in black was staring intently at a room, which was Zhang Baoer's room.

The man in black is a master in the Autumn Wind Hall, and the order he received is very simple: keep an eye on Zhang Bao'er, and if he finds any abnormal movement, he will be killed.

The night was already very deep, and there was not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight in the thick ink-like sky. Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable.

A little sleepiness shrouded the man in black, and it was not easy to do this job, especially if he couldn't move his nest all night, which was really uncomfortable.

The man in black struggled to open his eyes and keep himself from falling asleep.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound, and the ears of the man in black stood up.

The sound came from another corner in the backyard, and if you listened closely, it was the sound of kick-and-tap footsteps, very slow, as if someone was walking in this direction.

The people were getting closer and closer, and by the faint light in the front hall, the man in black faintly saw that the other party was wearing a white robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Alas, I'm old, and this night is also a trouble!" The person who came muttered to himself, and he didn't notice the man in black in the shadows at all.

Although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, the man in black could hear that it was the shopkeeper of the gambling house who spoke.

The thatched toilet in the backyard is not far from Zhang Baoer's house, but it is not close to the house of the shopkeeper Hu, who has to go around two corners to come over at night.

The order above was very clear, only letting the man in black stare at Zhang Bao'er, so the man in black didn't care about the appearance of the shopkeeper.

Before the man in black could relax, Zhang Bao'er's door also opened, and the man in black immediately raised his vigilance.

Someone walked out in a short coat, although he couldn't see his face clearly, the man in black concluded that it must be Zhang Baoer.

"Who?" The shopkeeper Hu, who was about to enter the toilet, heard the movement and asked softly.

"It's Shopkeeper Hu, I'm Bao'er! I don't know how to get sick with my stomach! The voice that spoke was really Zhang Baoer.

While talking, Zhang Baoer went to the latrine.

"Shopkeeper Hu, you come first, I'll wait!" Zhang Baoer said politely.

"Okay, Bao'er, I'll be out soon!" Shopkeeper Hu was very helpful to Zhang Baoer's respect.

The man in black couldn't see people clearly, so he saw the white clothes flickering into the latrine.

The shopkeeper Hu was really fast, and the man in black heard the shopkeeper Hu say to Zhang Baoer: "I'm going back, you go in!" ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper in white walked slowly towards his room, turned the corner and disappeared.

The man in black didn't care about looking at the shopkeeper Hu, but just stared at the direction of the toilet, for fear that something would happen.

After a while, Zhang Bao'er, who was wearing a short coat, came out of the toilet and went straight back to his house.

……

The tall brick courtyard wall of Tiantong Gambling House, as well as the masonry arch under the eaves, looks simple and heavy in the night.

Across the street from the courtyard wall, Hou Jie was waiting anxiously.

Finally, a dark shadow slipped down quietly on the courtyard wall and ran towards Hou Jie quickly.

Hou Jie was overjoyed, and when he approached, it was indeed Zhang Baoer.

Hou Jie hurriedly asked, "How is it, Bao'er, haven't you been discovered?" ”

"No, let's go!" Zhang Baoer dragged Hou Jie and ran.

Zhang Bao'er's plan was very thorough, he knew that Yin Shi was the most lax time in the gambling house, and there was a good chance of success in escaping at this time.

Zhang Baoer took the opportunity to go to the toilet to change clothes with Shopkeeper Hu, and then went to Shopkeeper Hu's house, and Shopkeeper Hu returned to Zhang Baoer's house.

Zhang Bao'er's trick of the golden cicada shelling really worked, and the people who monitored him didn't expect that they had swapped rooms.

Everything was as Zhang Bao'er expected, just when the man in black was staring at Zhang Bao'er's room, Zhang Bao'er had successfully escaped from the shopkeeper's house.

Now Zhang Baoer needs to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible, as long as she goes out, it will be safe.

Zhang Baoer and Hou Jie didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly walked towards Mingde Gate.

When the two arrived at the city gate, Zhang Baoer was dumbfounded, the city gate was locked, and it was impossible to get out at all.

Zhang Baoer and Hou Jie have never been out at night, so how would they know that the Chang'an City Gate was going to be locked at night.
