Chapter 168: This is the Jianghu people

In the past three or five days of Linqing, everyone has become in danger, and the contacts between businessmen are not as frequent as they used to be. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people who are nesting at home are people with great backgrounds, and these people have a wide range of news, so they received an early warning and called all the people back in advance, and those who are not so wide in the news, but those who are shrewd and see the actions of the people above, they will also follow suit, which is the way of survival of the middle and lower class businessmen.

The prosperity of the past is gone, groups of soldiers patrol the streets, although the docks are still busy, but few people dare to speak, and all the eyes are silent workers carrying goods, even the foremen are hiding under the trees to make a bunch of laughter muttering, because not far away stand countless troops in armor and swords.

In a dwelling not far from the pier, a man with a beard was pacing anxiously back and forth, and soon an honest-looking man in patches returned.

The man with a beard on his face hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?" Did the officers and soldiers withdraw? ”

The simple-looking man shook his head and sighed: "Master Kou, the officers and soldiers are watching more closely than before, and when I get a little closer, I will be caught and interrogated by them, and the interrogation is still very strict, and there are many questions asked." ”

"Alas!" The bearded man sighed fiercely.

This bearded man was none other than Liu Kou, Liu Kou was able to go out of the city to join Liu Zheng on the night of the incident, but he didn't do this, but found a place to lurk, in order to say what Jiang Mingda had said to him before.

Jiang Mingda is known as the three-gun general, but when he left that night, he only had one gun with him, and the remaining two were left in Liu Kou's mansion.

After buying the house, Liu Kou made careful changes, including digging no less than three secret passages, in order to prevent being caught by the officers and soldiers.

That night, he also wanted to sneak in through the secret passage, but he hid on the roof of a certain house outside the mansion and observed for a long time, and found that the mansion was full of searching soldiers, so he did not act rashly, and lurked and waited for the time to come.

But what he didn't expect was that several days had passed, and the officers and soldiers had not only not been withdrawn from his mansion, but had also added more manpower.

"Kou Ye, in the opinion of his subordinates, there is nothing to do, why don't you sneak out of the city and have a round with the lord, and then make plans?"

Liu Kou slapped the wall fiercely and said: "I also want to go out of the city to fight the lord, but that night I promised the second master that I would definitely take back his two spears, but now I ......"

"If I don't go back, I still have the face to see the second master, if it spreads, won't the people in the rivers and lakes laugh at me Liu Kou for being incompetent? What kind of face do I have to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? ”

This henchman doesn't speak, it's indeed this truth, people in the rivers and lakes regard the word righteousness as more important than life, and they will also see promises and oaths as more important than life, both promised people, no matter what identity this person is, no matter what he promised, even if he promised a person who was about to starve to death to kill the emperor, he had to do it, even if he knew that it was to die!

This is the Jianghu people!

This henchman frowned and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Master Kou, we have built several secret passages, and the entrances of those secret passages are very secret, why don't we touch them through the secret passages tonight...... Even if you are surrounded by officers and soldiers, even if you die inside, it is better than being a scumbag like now! ”

After Liu Kou thought about it for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, we are not nameless, I don't believe it, a bunch of stupid officers and soldiers can help us!" ”

……

It was night, and the bright moon hanging high was obscured by dark clouds, so that the night was dark and could not see the five fingers, and several figures tossed and turned on the roof, but did not make the slightest sound.

As they walked, the figures suddenly stood up, and then slowly lay down, just sticking to the roof tiles.

Half an hour later, suddenly a small pebble flew out, hit the water tank in a courtyard not far away, and made a bang, this sound was particularly clear in the dark night, and several courtyards next door to the courtyard were lit up, and even someone came out with a lantern to check, but there was no light or movement in the courtyard.

After waiting for a long time, the night returned to silence again, but at this moment, a black shadow turned over and landed in the courtyard, and sneakily groped, and even the man touched the house in the courtyard.

When a cat's meow sounded at night, the figures lurking not far away moved violently, and a few ups and downs came to the courtyard, and hid the figures in the black shadows at a very fast speed.

"The third?"

A very low call sounded, and a dark shadow emerged from the room.

This black shadow seemed to be able to see at night, and came straight to the front of several people, hugged his fist and said: "Kou Ye, a few brothers, I have checked it, and the marks are all there!" ”

Liu Kou and the others showed their figures, nodded to the person called the third child, and entered the house, after entering the house, several people quickly lifted the straw mat they put on, and lightly moved the wooden bed board, revealing a dusty muddy floor under the bed.

Liu Kou nodded to the person beside him, and the person next to him turned around and went out, and came back after a short time, but there was an extra shovel in his hand.

The man carried the shovel to the place where the bed board had been lifted, and shoveled it down with all his might, and in a short time he found a plank, and the man dug up some of the surrounding places, and the plank was completely exposed to everyone's eyes.

Then the man threw the shovel aside, grabbed the two handles of the plank, and lifted the plank, which was not much thinner than the coffin board, and a black hole was exposed.

Liu Kou nodded to the few people around him, and jumped down first, and the others also jumped down in turn, while the person who was called the third child by everyone stayed, and the caretaker was waiting to answer the hole.

After Liu Kou entered the tunnel, he touched a torch, took out the fire fold and lit the torch, the tunnel suddenly lit up, this tunnel is not small, the height can make people stand up and move forward, and the span is enough to accommodate two people walking side by side.

Liu Kou led a few men dressed in black and covered their faces with black cloth in front of his head in the tunnel, and these people who followed Liu Kou all showed a look of shock in their eyes at this time, they didn't think that there were so many forks in this tunnel, like a labyrinth, if it wasn't led by someone, it was very likely that they would be lost in this maze, and there were obviously extremely terrible traps in those forks, and if they didn't get it right, they would die here.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Kou stopped, and everyone followed suit, pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

After waiting for about two sticks of incense, Liu Kou made a move, he handed the torch to the person behind him, and then tiptoed up the ladder for a few steps, and listened intently for a while, then he climbed to the top with confidence and tiptoed away the plank.

The plank was gently pushed away, without making the slightest sound, after Liu Kou came to the ground, he beckoned to the bottom, and several people below immediately climbed up the ladder, and when these people came up, they found that they were in a section of the wall.

Liu Kou made a few gestures to these people, and these people immediately drew their blades and held them in their hands.

Then I saw Liu Kou make a few gestures, and then I realized that the place where they were was was in the kitchen, after going out of the kitchen, turn right and climb over a wall to the back garden, go west from the back garden, and turn over the two courtyards is the courtyard where Jiang Mingda lives, and the two guns are on the weapon rack in the yard.

Liu Kou himself went to get the two guns, and they had to continue north from the back garden, climb over a wall and enter the attic in the northeast corner, and wait, if Liu Kou missed, they would leave through the secret passage of the attic, and if they succeeded, they would climb over the wall and go out of the city as fast as possible.

Several people quickly glanced at each other, and then nodded together, Liu Kou tiptoed on the wall beside him, and when he groped for a raised place, he pressed it gently, and a pull ring popped up in the place under the wall that hit the ground, Liu Kou leaned over and pulled the pull ring, and then reached out and gently pushed the wall, the wall was actually pushed open like a door, and the situation outside was immediately reflected in the pupils of several people.

After a little investigation, knowing that there was no one, these people sneaked out of the kitchen, and just after walking a few steps, they heard footsteps, and several people hurriedly hid their bodies in the dark, and when the footsteps came closer, they found that they were actually patrolling soldiers.

After evading the patrolling soldiers, these people were obviously more cautious in their movements, and after dodging the patrolling soldiers on two roads, they came to the wall that Liu Kou said, and after some observation, several people climbed over the wall in turn.

When they arrived in the back garden, several people were obviously bold, and their bodies were swept away, and they had jumped out a long distance, and when they came to a rockery, several people stopped.

Liu Kou said in a low voice: "It seems that it is not so easy to get it tonight, if I really lose it, don't hesitate to let the brothers leave, immediately leave along the secret passage, and I will get out freely!" ”

When the words fell, one of the masked men said in a low voice: "Master Kou, I'm not greedy and afraid......

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Kou waving his hand.

"I know the minds of a few brothers, don't be hypocritical in front of me, I said that if you can get out, you can get out, after a few brothers left, they quickly went out of the city to meet with the lord, and passed the news in the city to the lord, don't forget our brothers who are in the Cao Gang, and now they are still surrounded by the government, if they don't save them, they will be difficult to live!"
