The bright moon hung in the night sky, and the city of Dayang was quiet at night, with only groups of soldiers patrolling at night and whirlwinds rolling through the streets from time to time.

Several black shadows jumped out of the prison, and as soon as they jumped out of the prison door, the black shadow at the front let out a "huh", and looked back at the cell door that had just been opened by them with a suspicious face.

"What's wrong?" A middle-aged man in tattered prison clothes saw the black shadow squatting at the gate of the prison and did not move, and whispered very nervously: "The prison guards are lax, why are we still staying here when I escape?" ”

The black shadow squatting at the door of the prison frowned, looked left and right for a while, and said to the middle-aged man: "I will be separated from this time, I still have some important things to do in the city." Dayang order, you and others first fled to the east gate, two days ago I have sent someone to Dayang to investigate, recently every day is the fourth watch day to open the city gate, tomorrow morning you and others mixed in the people out of the city. ”

"No!" The middle-aged man who was called to be the Great Yang Commander responded with his fists very respectfully, and led several officials who had escaped from the prison to take advantage of the night and rush towards the east of the city.

Looking at the backs of Dayang Ling and the officials gradually disappearing into the darkness, the black shadow pursed his lips and showed a disdainful smile.

After Da Yang Ling and the others left, he turned his head and looked at a few streets not far away.

The moment he turned his head, a silver moonlight shone on his face, and in the moonlight, the face of the black shadow became clear, and he was a man who was twisted by the officers and soldiers during the day.

Glancing back at the half-open prison door, the black shadow spread his hands into a trumpet shape around his lips and shouted, "Prisoner get out!" ”

After shouting this voice, he bent his waist and "swished" into the nearest street.

There was a commotion in the otherwise peaceful cell, and thirty or forty officers and soldiers in red armor ran out after hearing the shouts of black shadows, stood at the door of the cell, and looked around.

"Your Highness, what is the explanation that the man has already escaped?" At the corner of a street not far from the prison, Zhou Cang, who was dressed in scaly armor, looked at the street where the black shadow disappeared with a suspicious face, and asked Liu Wei who was standing in front of him in a low voice: "He has escaped from the prison, why do you want to blow up his whereabouts?" ”

"It's not a self-destruction track!" Looking at the street where the black shadow disappeared, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth tugged, and he whispered to Zhou Cang: "He didn't think about rescuing Da Yang Ling and others, he must have felt that it was too easy to escape from the prison, so he took Da Yang Ling and a few officials with him, and shouted that sound just to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers guarding the prison, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to escape." Judging from Dayang Ling's respectful appearance, this person's identity must be extraordinary! He was very shrewd in his calculations, and most of the people who pursued fugitives would strictly check the intersection of the city, and no one would have thought that a person who had escaped from prison would not want to go out of the city, but ran into the city. ”

"How did Your Highness know that he was going to enter that alley?" After listening to Liu Bian's explanation, Zhou Cang nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and asked Liu Bian.

"Because if it were me, I would do it too!" Raising his hand and pointing towards the alley where the black shadow disappeared, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang: "That alley is not far from the prison, and it is a dead corner that the moonlight cannot shine on, once he gets into the alley, the darkness can give him the best cover!" ”

"Oh!" Zhou Cang nodded, and then asked with a sudden realization on his face: "Since he has already entered the alley, what should I do next?" ”

"Wait for it to change!" Liu Wei smiled and said to Zhou Cang: "Order someone to hunt down Dayang Ling, don't live, once caught, kill all of them!" If they don't run away, this king really can't kill them! ”

"No!" Zhou Cang responded, waved his hand at an officer behind him and said, "Take a few brothers and kill Dayang Ling and the others!" ”

Dayang Ling and the others were able to successfully escape from the prison because Liu Wei had made arrangements during the day and deliberately let them go. The route they fled was all watched by the secret sentry that Liu Wei had planted earlier.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Cang did not order the officers to take people to search for them, but only ordered him to kill a few Dayang officials who escaped.

The officer led a few soldiers away, but Liu Wei did not order Zhou Cang and the others to follow him in pursuit of the black shadow who had already fled into the street not far away.

Lying dormant at the corner of the street, waiting for the sight of two pillars of incense, a soldier in armor ran out of the street where the dark shadow had disappeared.

"How?" As soon as the soldier arrived, before he could speak, Liu Wei had already opened his mouth to ask him, "Have you seen where he stayed?" ”

"See!" The soldier first saluted Liu Wei and Zhou Cang with his fists in his fists, and then whispered: "He went out of the street and went straight into the Donglai wine shop in the city!" There seems to be someone answering the restaurant! ”

"Donglai Liquor Shop!" Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to the soldier: "Strictly monitor the wine shop, no matter day or night, someone must guard it, and see who is in and out, especially the people who enter the city today and the wealthy merchants in the city, you must pay attention to observe!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, turned and ran in the direction from which he had come, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Let's go back!" After the soldiers who reported the news left, Liu Wei beckoned to Zhou Cang and a team of soldiers behind him, and walked in the direction of the official mansion with his feet raised.

In front of the official mansion, Liu Wei led a few personal soldiers into the official compound, and Zhou Cang took the rest of the soldiers to the barracks.

As soon as he walked into the backyard of the official mansion, Liu Wei suddenly stopped, raised a hand to stop several soldiers following behind him.

Several of the soldiers stopped and looked at each other, and then each turned their heads to look around.

There was silence in the palace, all the houses were lit and candles, and except for a few soldiers who were in charge of keeping vigil, no one else walked around the palace.

"Spread out and guard the doors and corners!" Liu Wei turned his head to look at the room where he lived, and whispered an order to several personal soldiers behind him.

The soldiers didn't respond, just silently dispersed, gently pulled out the sabers at their waists, and scattered to all corners of the backyard.

All the soldiers had chosen their positions to stand, and Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the room where he lived.

The two personal soldiers guarding the door saw him coming, and hurriedly clasped their fists and greeted: "Your Highness!" ”

Nodding to the two pro-soldiers, Liu Wei asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”

"There's no one in the house." One of the soldiers guarding the door replied with a fist.

"Miss Tao didn't come either?" After listening to the pro-soldier's answer, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly and asked again.

"Since His Highness left in the afternoon, Miss Tao has not been here!" The soldier who replied bowed down to answer Liu Wei's question, and then added to Liu Wei: "Since she returned to the room, it seems that she has never come out. ”

"You two keep a good eye here, keep an eye on your surroundings, and if there is the slightest movement, immediately call out loudly!" Liu Wei frowned tightly, gave an order to the two soldiers, turned around and walked towards Tao Huanniang's room.

Because Tao Huanniang has been taking care of Liu Wei in the official mansion, Liu Wei asked people to arrange a room for her in the backyard, and her room is only separated from Liu Bian's residence by a corridor that is not too long, but there is a turn at the end of the corridor, so at the door of Liu Bian's room, Tao Huanniang's residence cannot be seen at all.

Walking along the corridor to Tao Huanniang's residence, the closer to her room, the more uneasy Liu Bian's heart felt, and when he saw the closed door of Tao Huanniang's residence, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

The door of Tao Huanniang's room was closed, and there was no light in the room. It wasn't too late yet, and she shouldn't have slept yet.

"Your Highness!" Finding that Liu Wei was walking towards Tao Huanniang's residence, two soldiers standing in the corner of the courtyard hurriedly jumped onto the corridor and followed him.

Glancing at the two pro-soldiers, Liu Biantie blushed, didn't say anything, and walked straight to Tao Huanniang's residence.

Outside the door, he stopped, made a stop gesture to the two soldiers behind him, and listened quietly for a moment.

It was quiet, and there was no sound except for the slightly heavy wheezing of the two soldiers behind him.

Standing at the door, Liu Wei spread out his arms to the sides, and the two pro-soldiers held long swords and flashed to the wings of the door on tiptoe.

The two pro-soldiers stood in their positions, and Liu Wei rubbed lightly to the door, stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the door, and pulled back violently.

The sliding door was pulled open by him, and the black hole room suddenly appeared in front of Liu Wei's eyes.

Pulling open the door, Liu Wei didn't hear the slightest unusual noise in the room, he muttered to a personal soldier, lowered his voice and said, "Light the fire." ”

The soldier took out the flint from his bosom, knocked out the spark, lit the fire fold, and held the fire fold in his hand and shone it into the house.

Under the reflection of the firelight, Liu Wei saw that the house was empty, and there was no one.

No abnormalities were found in the room, and the soldiers holding the fire fold were the first to enter the room and light the candles on the candlesticks.

The candles were lit, and the dancing flames filled the room with a soft glow.

Tao Huanniang's room is not big, and there is a thick cover on the right hand in the room, and the flocculent on the cover is very flat, and no one has slept at all.

The dim candlelight reflected every corner of the room, and Liu Wei furrowed his brows, looking around every inch of the room where people might be able to hide.

After searching carefully and making sure that there were not even half a person in this room, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked towards the window opposite the door.

On the small boxy window, the wooden bar that lay across the window was broken by a sharp file. However, the broken window lattices did not fall to the ground, but were cleverly placed on the incisions, and if you don't look closely, you really can't find that they have broken.

Finding that the window lattice had been filed, Liu Wei's brows tightened more and more, and an ominous feeling instantly surged into his heart.

"Your Highness!" Just as he was looking at the window, trying to find some clues, the voice of a soldier came from behind him.

Turning his head to look at the pro-soldier who was speaking, Liu Wei found that the pro-soldier was holding a piece of paper rolled into a cylinder in his hand.
