In an abandoned two-story building not far from the catchers, Zhao Gu stood by the window on the second floor, looking at everything in the alley from a distance through the gap, and saw the searching soldiers and horses scattered, he slowly closed the window. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Turning his head, Zhao Gu stared at the man in black with a little surprise.

I still underestimated the influence of this man in black, and the city defense army was mobilized because of him!

About fifteen minutes later, on the street outside the small building where Zhao Gu was located, a group of fifteen city defense troops guarded both sides of the street like javelins, followed by several teams of hunters and rushed into the homes of several ordinary people next to the small courtyard.

With the arrival of the catchers, Zhao Gu clearly felt the body of the man in black tremble.

The catchers shouted loudly as they searched, as if they were afraid that others would not hear the movement, and the people were soon driven into their yards, and then there was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the people's houses.

"This one doesn't have one, go look elsewhere."

"Not here, go to the next one."

"No, the suspect isn't here."

The sound of the search was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Gu could clearly hear it standing on the second floor of the small building.

Soon, the catchers had already walked to the door of the small courtyard where the abandoned building was located.

"There's another one here, check it out."

The catchers entered the small courtyard, and the footsteps became closer and closer, and the dust on the roof of the shaking building fell straight down.

A chaotic burst of fire flickered, and the catchers patrolled the courtyard. Finally, the catchers who found nothing set their sights on the gate of the small building.

The man in black's breath became short, but Zhao Gu was still calm, listening to the movement outside, and at the same time, the big lock in his hand was once again aimed at the head of the man in black. As long as he dares to make a sound, Zhao Gu will not hesitate to knock him unconscious.

A few catchers walked over step by step, but saw that the door of the small building was locked, and the rusty iron lock locked the rotten wooden door, looking like it was in disrepair.

The catchers looked at each other, and one of them said, "It seems that it is not here anymore, there is no trace of anyone coming here." ”

The other catcher thought for a moment: "It's better to be cautious, what if you are inside?" ”

The other catchers nodded, and a few of them cut the iron lock with their knives, pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as I pushed the door open, a puff of dust came to my face, choking a few people and coughing repeatedly. It was easy to wait until the dust was gone, a few catchers quickly raised their torches, and when they looked around, the small building was in ruins, the rotten tables and chairs fell to the ground, and some even had dried unknown fungi on them, but there was no trace of anyone coming.

Seeing this scene, even the most cautious catcher couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Let's go, there is indeed no trace of anyone coming here, I was too careful." ”

After speaking, the crowd quickly left the small building together and returned to the street.

"Did you find anything?"

The catchers turned around, and when they saw the general of the city defense army leading the team coming, they hurriedly replied: "We have searched this area, but we have not found anything." ”

The city defense general pointed to the small building: "Have you searched here too?" ”

Catcher replied: "Search here...... Searched? ”

"Huh?"

"It hasn't been inhabited for years, and the dust on the ground is so thick that if anyone has gone in, they shouldn't ......."

The city defense general waved his hand: "Don't tell me whether it should be or not, I want to hear the conclusion of your complete search." ”

"Yes."

A few catchers didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately entered the small building again, and turned over several rooms on the first floor, and after finding nothing, the crowd gathered at the stairs and prepared to go up to the second floor to see

Hearing that he would search again, Zhao Gu's expression remained the same, but his heart was tight.

He didn't dare to guarantee whether his trick was effective, at least the city defense general outside the door would not see through his arrangement, and he was not sure at all.

The crowd quickly raised the torch in his hand and was about to go upstairs, not wanting to take a look, but found that the wooden staircase here was in disrepair and had already collapsed, and it was impossible for ordinary people to go upstairs from here.

The catchers wanted to climb in through the window by ladder, but when they got outside, they saw that the window had been nailed shut by the original owner from the outside.

In desperation, the catchers had to report the situation to the city defense generals.

"Can't you go up to the second floor at all? Am I being too careful? The city defense general sighed, then waved his hand, signaling the crowd to search elsewhere with him.

On the second floor of the small building, seeing the catchers leaving, Zhao Gu rubbed his stiff legs, and at the same time, he found that the body of the man in black shook slightly twice.

Zhao Gu said to the man in black: "Don't be lucky, I hope you understand that even if those people find you, you will definitely die in front of me." ”

The man in black didn't speak, and Zhao Gu smiled: "Are you hungry?" I'll go out tomorrow at dawn and try to get you something to eat. ”

The man in black still didn't speak, just shook his head. Zhao Gu smiled bitterly: "Master Su, don't mind, I was also forced to be helpless, if you want to blame it, you officials are too incompetent, then Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been given to the Liao State by Shi Jingjiao for so many years, you officials are ......." ”

As he was talking, Zhao Gu suddenly frowned: "Someone is here again." ”

Zhao Gu hurriedly walked to the window and looked down, but saw that the city defense general who had just left had led people to the outside of the small courtyard again.

Sure enough, the city defense general still sensed something.

It's really ghostly!

Zhao Gu muttered, took out the iron lock again, and waved it at the man in black, who looked up at him and snorted lightly.

"Go down by yourself, don't force me to be rough."

Zhao Gu whispered quickly, then took the simple ladder on the side, motioned for the man in black to follow, and the two walked into a small room on the second floor together.

The small room was empty, the wooden floor was full of holes, and near the corner there was a hole that was unusually large enough to accommodate a person.

Zhao Gu gently lowered the ladder along the hole, and the man in black immediately climbed down the ladder with interest, and Zhao Gu followed closely.

At this time, the city defense general had already led the catchers into the small building, Zhao Gu pulled the man in black, he didn't dare to move, and the two stopped halfway up the ladder.

The city defense general frowned and walked to the stairs, looked up at the second floor, and suddenly jumped hard, jumping directly three meters high.

With this jump, his body was only about a foot away from the second floor.

Seeing that his body was about to fall, the city defense general hooked his hands unhurriedly, and just grabbed the wooden ground on the second floor, and with this force, the city defense general suddenly rushed to the second floor.

"Knock knock."

The city defense general walked step by step, and layers of ash fell from the roof of the small building that shook him, and he looked carefully from room to room, carefully searching all the corners.

At the same time, he kept twisting up the thick dust along the way with his hands, as if there were some clues hidden in the dust.
