23 The Crisis in Xucheng (Part 3)
"Of course you're going to find them!" Dou Ranlan replied without hesitation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Oh? Brother Dou's love and friendship are so important, I admire it. ā
"Not only that, I see that Cheng Gongzi is still in the dark, and I don't know all about what happened just now, if Mr. Cao makes any one-sided words, it will make Cheng Gongzi deepen his misunderstanding of me! I ought to seek them again, and after he has removed his suspicions against me, I should say goodbye according to the courtesy. ā
Wang Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "If you leave, how can we see each other in the future?" I'm afraid there aren't so many coincidences in the world. In that case, what does it matter if people are mistaken about you? ā
Dou Ranlan asked rhetorically: "Brother Wang, you and I met in the barren mound last night, is it a coincidence?" Today, we met again in the city, and it happened that you had a piano in your hand, was it a coincidence? If I don't have today's view, or if I don't have the opportunity to hear your singing, then after I return to Chu, last night's Brother Wang will not be Brother Wang, but the ghost ghoul in the notes of the Chu people's Zhiwei! ā
Wang Sheng laughed and said: "Well said, I saw you last night, I can only say that you and I are destined, but if we meet again today, I am afraid that it is really a bit fatalistic." ā
He gently patted Dou Ranlan's shoulder, and his grin was so wide that he couldn't get an inch: "Brother Dou, then Cao Zheng and the three of them will never act separately, you must know that in times of crisis, only by walking together can you have a chance to get out, otherwise you can't take care of each other, and it's difficult to discuss together, so how can you move with the camera?" You don't understand these truths, but Cao Zheng knows them very well, so he can lie to you. Anyway, the affairs of these three people are actually related to Jia Yanxiao, and I can't ignore it. And I apologized for startling my brother last night, so I'll go with you and see how they can get out of danger! ā
Dou Ranlan was originally lonely all the way, and to be honest, he didn't want to be accompanied by those wandering monks who were full of Buddhist holy names, and he was naturally overjoyed to be able to walk with this seemingly calm and brave person.
"Brother Wang, the time is coming, let's leave soon."
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have to do a little thing, you wait here for a while, okay?" ā
"Brother, please."
Wang Sheng nodded and walked around the market not far away, but he didn't come out for a long time. Suddenly, another bell rang, and it was too late. Although Dou Ranlan was a simple person, he couldn't help but suspect that he was secretly ghostly: "Who did he go to see again?" What if he was in league with the stalkers? ā
Thinking of the conversation she had just had with him, Dou Ranlan suddenly realized that her meeting with Wang Sheng was indeed too coincidental, whether it was out of the inn or the third encounter when listening to him play the qin, it seemed that the other party was deliberately waiting for him.
When he was wandering, Wang Sheng had already turned out, dressed luxuriously, and changed his outfit.
"Brother Dou, let's go."
Dou Ranlan agreed, but was even more suspicious: "Isn't it that the entanglement has been robbed cleanly?" Where did this dress come from? What do you do when you change your clothes? It's very strange. ā
wants to ask openly, but I'm afraid that Wang Sheng is really a villain; to test the tone, but he is never good at talking; If you simply pull out your legs and run away, you won't be able to lose your face. Dou Ranlan has always been a scheming master, but in this case, he actually succumbed to the situation and followed in a daze......
Besides, Cheng Yuan and Cao Zheng, just now they saw Dou Ranlan lead away the stalking, and the three of them left the car and horse and got out of the back door in a panic. They did not go far, but hid in the shop where the two Dou Wang had tea later, and this risky move was a plan for Cao Zheng's lamp.
Sure enough, the person who was watching was afraid of the heart of the tiger's plan to leave the mountain, so he hurried back in less than half a burnt of incense, called the accomplices at the front door and a group of people went upstairs to pounce, and then went straight to the north gate to chase after him.
Cao Zheng observed carefully, and after confirming that there were no other watchers nearby, he immediately led the two of them out of the tea house in a hurry, at this time Dou Ranlan was still wandering around in the alley, and when the three of them passed by the pedestal of a private house, they didn't know that someone was secretly sitting there and smiling and whispering: "Cao Gong is okay?" "It is the king's surname Housheng.
The three of them walked in a hurry, where would they pay attention to this person. They hurriedly searched for the mule and horse market, first bought horses, then bought a car, and after they were ready, they let Qiu Er operate the new car again, and then the three of them drove to the south gate.
The newly bought car was a more stable two-horse carriage, and the bearded Qiu Er was driving the car, and while turning back to Cao Zheng in the carriage, he whispered, "Lieutenant Cao, shall we pass the south gate calmly?" ā
"No, after a while in the Shifang area, you turn onto a secluded road where you can observe the south gate, and let the two of us get out of the car. As soon as Shen Shi arrived, you drove to the south gate alone, if no one stopped you from inspecting the car, then the person who arrested us had nothing to do with the Xuzhou government, and the group must have gone straight out of the north gate to chase us in the direction of the capital, so it was best that we could go out of the city one after another. ā
"What if the men at the gates of the city stand in the way?"
"In this way, you will directly urge the horses to rush out, the entry and exit of Xuzhou City will be the smoothest, there will not be too many idle people blocking your way, the people guarding the gate have no horses, they can't catch up with you, you attract the attention of the guards - if you can cause chaos and lead them away, then we will take advantage of the chaos to get out."
"Understood!"
Cao Zheng's plan has been decided, and whether he can get out of danger can only depend on the destiny of heaven.
Cheng Yuan, who was in the car at this time, was unhappy about the episode in the inn just now: "When Cao Zheng came up with that split action strategy just now, I should have thought that I was a prisoner of Dengzhou, how could Cao Zheng allow me to act alone?" This is a clear deception. ā
Chengyuan originally didn't have a sense of familiarity with Dou Ranlan, a native of Chu, but because he was tired of seeing Cao Zheng's face along the way, he hoped for multiple chat partners. After Dou Ranlan said those impassioned words in the inn, he was already very reluctant to this one-sided friend, and thought: "Cao Zheng lied to Dou Gongzi that he would meet at the time, what if he was too trustworthy?" We were already out of the city, and this stupid boy was afraid that we would really stay there until it was dark and close the gates, and delay the day's journey. ā
Cao Zheng saw that his face was not angry, and knew that he still had a mustard in his heart, so he sneered: "Boy, although I used the surname Dou as bait, it is beneficial to him, think about our situation in a while, maybe I can save him." ā
Cheng Yuan was stunned: "Hasn't your method always been a perfect strategy?" ā
"Seventy percent is just a plan...... Cao Zheng still had a gloomy face, although he didn't seem to be flustered on the surface, but his hands were clenched tightly, and it seemed that he was just forcibly calm.
Before the end of the day, the three of them approached the south gate, and Cao Zheng watched from afar with his hand shading the sun, as if he had been beaten with a stick on the head.
Not only did the gate not relax, but there were more guards, and the most important thing was that they were not ordinary earthen regiments, but they were all people with armor. The people waiting to leave the city were all blocked at the door, slowly waiting for the interrogation ahead.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for a small Chengyuan to alarm the soldiers of the loyal army stationed nearby. Cao Zheng initially guessed that eighty percent of the people who wanted to hijack Chengyuan and his party were the forces of the monastery, or those non-governmental associations behind the eight-character proverbs.
Moreover, even if this is the case, the possibility is small, so Qiu Erchong's plan for the south gate is just for the sake of insurance.
Looking from afar, the people who were being examined were all asked to take off their hats to check, but the people who were watching just now were not here, and they all went to the north gate to guard. There was a low-ranking officer sitting next to him, and he looked at the costume as a halberd.
Cheng Yuan was also looking at the group of guards at the door from afar, suddenly, his heart seemed to throb, he felt an eye look at him, and the sweeping eyes made him feel extremely comfortable, like a girl's gaze.
Cheng Yuan hurriedly searched for the location of the gaze just now, and at a glance there were soldiers with armor, how could there be any woman?
"Am I so frightened that my eyes are dizzy?" was in a state of uncertainty, but Cao Zheng next to him was not calm......
"Qiu Er, don't approach."
Chengyuan knew that Cao Zhengfang was already a little messy, and if this person's calm could be broken, it must be a catastrophe. He knew that Cao was in an irritable mood at this time, so he didn't dare to interject him easily. Cao Zheng's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and there was a slight amount of blood in his palm, but his nails were stuck in the flesh.
Cao Zheng asked Qiu Erxun to drive the car to a secluded place, and after a small hour, he was still helpless, he knew that retreating to the city was also a dead end, and when the time came, the city gate would be closed, and the soldiers would not have to guard the city gate, but could free up their hands to search the city. They will guard the doors of the few inns in the city, making it difficult for themselves and Chengyuan to find a place to spend the night. The people of Xuzhou were under Liu Xin's brutal rule, and they would never dare to shelter suspicious people at night. Even if you hide outside, the streets of small Xuzhou City are very quiet during the curfew at night, and your party is too conspicuous on the street.
Qiu Erhuzi asked quietly, "County Lieutenant Cao, do we want to hide back in the city?" ā
"Never! If we are in the city, we will be turtles in the urn as soon as it gets dark. Now you can only wait first, stand by and move, and then you must go out of the city before the curfew, Qiu Er, you are holding a Pu knife in one hand and urging the horse in the other, how many people can you resist? ā
Qiu Er pursed his lips and thought about it and replied, "Three or five people may be able to deal with it." ā
"Three people, exactly? Or four people? Or five people? Quickly figure it out, reply to my words! ā
Cao Zheng's falcon-like gaze stared straight into his eyes, Qiu Er had never seen him show such a heavy murderous aura on his face.
"Back to Cao County, if it is an ordinary person, five should not be a problem." This time he was a little firmer.
"That's good! Listen, there is no other way after a while, then you can only break through, you have to urge the horse, and we will rush over together. ā
"Cao Gong thinks twice, there are too many people at the door now, if you rush over and be blocked by the flow of people, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it!"
"Who told you to rush into the crowd? You see, the right side is the passage for the people out of the city after the investigation, and the left side is blocked by soldiers, so you have to rush to the right. There were six horses in the men of the gate, and the others could not catch up with us. ā
Cheng Yuan couldn't help but interject: "Mr. Cao, since you said that the flow of people is on the right and you want to go out, if you go to the right, you are obviously rushing into the flow of people, how can you rush over?" ā
Cao Zheng sneered: "Those people are our soldiers and horses!" Qiu Er, when you rush over, you have to kill a few people! If you shout "death to the one who stands in my way", you must kill first and then shout. In this way, the flow of people will flash to the left, and it will naturally rush to the soldiers on the left who are blocking the doorway, and they will be disturbed for the time being. ā
Cheng Yuan couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words "kill first and shout", he looked back at Cao Zheng, and the treacherous smile that flashed just now had been retracted, and he returned to his usual cold expression. ā
"Then you must not stop, but you must hurry your horse out and rush with all your might, until six of the soldiers have received their orders, and you must distance yourself from them before you mount your mount. I look at the shape of the six horses, and see the different strength of the feet, this distance will definitely make them catch up with the first and last, you remember, the first few people who rush up must be killed quickly! By the time they figure it out and slow down, and then chase after them, we'll have a chance as long as you've killed two! ā
Qiu Er closed his eyes and thought about it a few times, so he nodded and said, "Although this strategy is not perfect, I am a little sure." ā
Cao Zheng nodded, but Chengyuan was already gone, thinking to himself, "Oh my God, fuck you a little sure!" It's a game of death! Death Match Six Warriors, Fierce Battle Three Heroes? Do you think it's Lu Fengxian? ā
Cao ...... Cao County Lieutenant, let's think about it again, there must be another way, there must be another way! And those people...... How innocent are those people? We scholars are meant to ...... O who will make a life for the living......"
It was Cao Zheng who was in a hurry when he was at a loss just now, and Chengyuan didn't have too much sense of responsibility in his heart at that time, he only relied on Cao Zheng to think of ideas, and he just resigned himself to fate. But now that the plan to get out has been decided, the resigned to fate has been replaced by Cao Zheng, who has calmed down, and it is Chengyuan's turn to go crazy.
Cao Zheng snorted and said, "I know you can't get out, but there is no other way!" After a while, you and I only need to bow down in the carriage, and at this time, the other party is not a military formation, and the soldiers are only equipped with waist knives and do not hold spears, so they can't stab the car. If you throw a sword at me, you won't necessarily kill you or me. Qiu Er, get ready! ā
Cheng Yuan's eyes were spinning, and he just wanted to persuade again, but the mouth cannon kung fu that he had always been good at had already flown out of the clouds at this time, and he didn't know where to go.
