Chapter 284: Dongling Pass
Two servants put their ears to the door.
They could hear the conversation in the room clearly.
They were taken aback when they learned that someone was going to take away the two ladies.
Just as he was about to shout warnings, his two arms went around the back of their heads and covered their mouths tightly.
Before the two of them could understand, the sharp short blade had already slashed against their necks.
The two night thorns did not delay for a moment, dragging the corpse into the grass in the corner.
After a while, the night thorn who entered the room walked out.
He looked left and right, saw that there was nothing abnormal, and whispered to Mrs. Gan Mi in the house: "Two ladies, please leave with me." ”
Liu Bei's family has a lot of people in Xudu.
There are few night assassins, and they can't take their servants and maids away.
Ask the two wives of Gan Mi and Liu Bei's second daughter Liu Zhen to change into people's clothes, and escort them quietly out of the house by night thorns.
After the night thorn left, more than a dozen corpses lay quietly in the grass in the corner of the house.
The corpses were all servants who found out that the situation was wrong and tried to warn them, and there was even a maid who went out to relieve himself but met them and took away Liu Bei's family.
The sky was bright.
Madame Ganmi's dwelling was peaceful, and their escape had not yet been discovered.
The gates of the city were opened, and some of the people who had risen early to make a living came and went with the merchants.
The ten night thorns who had infiltrated the city were reduced to zero, and the servants took Mrs. Gan Mi and Liu Zhen out of the city gate respectively.
Cao Jun, who was guarding the city gates, was accustomed to seeing people coming and going out of the city, and did not have any suspicions about them.
Out of the city, the Night Thorn found the hidden war horse and hired two royal gloves to set up a carriage nearby. took the two ladies and Liu Zhen to the northwest and galloped.
On the other side, Guan Yu was accompanied by Ma Fei and others. is also galloping in the direction of Xudu.
It is only more than 100 miles away from Xudu, and a fast horse comes over.
On horseback was a man in a dark coat.
Greeted Ma Fei and the others. The man stationed at the horse arched his hand and said, "General Qiyu, we have taken Liu Yuanjun's family out of Xudu." There are too many people, so they can only bring out Mrs. Jun and Miss, and the rest are in Xudu. ”
Ma Fei didn't respond, but looked at Guan Yu.
"Just bring out Madame and Miss." Guan Yu said: "Servants, maids, if you take so-and-so, it will be difficult to escort!" ”
"The carriage and horses are ready." Night Thorn said: "Liu Yuanjun's family is not far ahead. ”
"General Guan, please!" Ma Fei greeted Guan Yu.
Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Xianxin's great grace, write it down!" ”
Accompanied by Ma Fei and others, he walked not far, and Guan Yu saw two carriages parked in front of him.
Next to the carriage stood several strong men on horseback.
He quickened his pace to catch up.
Got to the carriage. He arched his hand and asked, "But the two sisters-in-law?" ”
Mrs. Mi's voice came from the car: "Is the general really here?" ”
"It's late to greet you, sister-in-law is not strange!" Guan Yu responded.
"General Guan!" Ma Fei said: "We have taken Mrs. out of Xudu, and General Lu Xu in the back has left!" ”
"Thank you!" Guan Yu thanked him.
After saying goodbye, Ma Fei and the others rode away.
The Nightthorns were all withdrawn, and the coachmen they had recruited from nearby remained in the car.
"Let's go!" Guan Yu greeted and led the way with a knife.
Two carriages followed, heading north.
When Mrs. Gan Mi left Xudu, the body in the courtyard was found, and the guard immediately sent a messenger to Guandu to report to Cao Cao.
After Guan Yu left, the second lady of Gan Mi also left Xu Du.
Cao Cao knew. There's no way he'll come back.
"Cao Gong, Guan Yunchang has done too much." Xiahoudun said: "It's okay to leave Xu Du, but you still kill people!" The last general is willing to go to catch up and correct the Fa! ”
"If it's not murder. How did he leave Xudu with Liu Xuande's family? Cao Cao said, "Let him go." ”
"Guan Yunchang only took Liu Xuande's wife and concubine and daughter, and the servants were still in Xudu." Cao Ren said: "It's better to kill him, and let him know that Cao Gong is not easy to bully!" ”
"The Lord is gone. What is the use of killing servants and maids? Cao Cao said: "Let them go, don't be embarrassed!" ”
"Cao Gong......" Cao Ren still wanted to say more. was stopped by Cao Cao.
A few days later, in the city of Xudu. Liu Bei's family members were all released.
Some people left Xudu and fled for their lives, while others went north to find Liu Bei along the way.
Guan Yu escorted the two carriages, and the march was very slow.
The Cao army north of Xudu was deployed everywhere.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, Guan Yu chose to take a detour.
He headed first north, then west, avoiding Cao's army all the way.
One day later, a pass appeared in front of Guan Yu's eyes.
The pass lies across the ridge, and from a distance, it looks like an endless curve stretching on the mountain.
Following Cao Cao for several months, Guan Yu knew Cao Jun to some extent.
This place is called Dongling Pass, and the guard general Kong Xiu led 500 soldiers to guard the pass.
chose to pass the level here only because there were not many soldiers under Kong Xiu's command, and he was not a famous general.
If the guard allows him to pass the test, it is fine, if not, it is not impossible to break through!
had already calculated, Guan Yu took two carriages and went up the mountain path along the mountain path.
Halfway through, several Cao Jun appeared in front of him.
"Who's coming?" One of them stepped forward to stop Guan Yu and asked in a loud voice.
"A certain Guan Yu, escorting my sister-in-law through the customs, I hope it will be convenient!" Although the other party was a soldier, Guan Yu refused to make more moves and arched his hand.
"It turned out to be General Guan!" The soldier returned the salute and said, "I must wait for General Kong to pass before the general can be released!" ”
"There is labor!" Guan Yu arched his hand again.
The soldiers retreated and ran up the hill.
It didn't take long for a member of Cao to arrive.
This person has a round face and whiskers, and his body is also much shorter than Guan Yu, it is Kong Xiu, the guard of Dongling Pass!
There were still a few steps away from Guan Yu, Kong Xiu saluted and asked, "Where is General Guan going?" ”
Dismounted and returned the salute, Guan Yu said: "Say goodbye to Cao Gong and escort my sister-in-law to Hebei to find my brother." ”
"Hebei Yuan Shaozheng is fighting against Cao Gong against Guandu, and the general must have Cao Gong's hand to go." Kong Xiu said: "Please also ask the general to show it, and I will let him go immediately!" ”
"The trip was in a hurry, and I didn't ask Cao Gong for it!"
"Without Cao Gong's edict, the last general will not dare to let him go!" Kong Xiu said: "The general can stay in the pass for a while, and only after a certain messenger presents it to Cao Gong can the general be released!" ”
"This place is far away from Guandu, if you go to Tongyu, you must miss the trip."
"Where is the law, don't blame the general!"
Guan Yu left Cao Ying to escape secretly, how could he let Cao Cao know his whereabouts.
Kong Xiu refused to let him go, he suddenly frowned and asked coldly, "You refuse to let someone pass?" ”
"It's not impossible for a general to pass the test." Kong Xiu said: "Leave the people in the carriage hostage, and let the general go over!" ”
"Bold Kong Xiu, dare to bully me?" Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he slashed with a knife.
Kong Xiu was taken aback, and as soon as the war horse turned around and ran.
By the time Guan Yu got on the horse, Kong Xiu had already run up the mountain. (To be continued.) )
