Outside the small courtyard where Liu Er lived, groups of heavily armed dragoon guards were running back and forth quickly.

Behind the courtyard gate, the old beautiful man looked nervous and leaned on the side of the door, quietly listening to the footsteps of the dragoon guards running outside.

"Have you searched this house?" He was quietly listening to the noise outside behind the door, and a rough voice came from outside the door.

As soon as the voice fell, another voice came into the ears of the old beautiful man: "Centurion Qiqi, this household has not been searched!" ”

"Search!" As soon as the man who replied had finished speaking, the centurion cried out in a thick voice: "Let not a house be left behind!" ”

"No!" As several men answered, the old beautiful man clearly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer to the small courtyard, and the old beautiful man looked up at the eaves, and then stepped forward, jumped towards the nearby eaves, grabbed the eaves with both hands, shrugged his body, and jumped on the roof with great speed, and lay quietly on the roof.

As soon as the old beautiful man lay down, the courtyard gate was kicked open by several dragoon guards.

Under the vigorous kick of the dragoon, the wooden courtyard gate made a loud "canopy" sound, flipped and fell in the middle of the courtyard. The kicked courtyard gate was still rolling on the ground, and several dragoon guards poured into the small courtyard and ran towards several houses in the courtyard at a rapid pace.

Several dragoon guards searched the rooms in the courtyard, and after a long while, they withdrew from the house, and almost every dragoon who searched the house shook their heads at the officers standing in the courtyard.

Frowning slightly, he looked around the small courtyard, and the officer waved his hand at everyone.

Just as he waved his hand and wanted to give the order for everyone to leave, the dragoon guard who searched for Liu'er's residence quickly ran out of the house, reached the officer, and bowed to the officer with his fists in his fist and said, "Centurion Qiqi, there is something strange in that house!" ”

Hearing that there was something strange in the house, the officer hurriedly turned his hand in a different direction, pointed to the room that the dragoon had just searched, and shouted to everyone in the hospital: "Leave the two of you to guard the hospital door, and everyone else will go to that room with so-and-so!" ”

Lying on the roof, looking at the several dragoons who ran towards Liu'er's room, the corners of the old beautiful man's mouth were slightly pulled for some reason, and a deep cold chill appeared on his face.

He led a few dragoons into the room, and as soon as he entered the house, the dragoon officer felt that there was something wrong with the room.

But the furnishings in the room were very neat, standing at the door, looking around the room, the officer could not find anything strange at a glance.

"What's wrong with the house?" Looking around the room, although he also felt that something was wrong with this room, but he couldn't say it, the officer turned his head and asked the soldier who reported the news.

Hearing the officer's question, the soldier walked briskly towards the bedding in the house, and when he reached the bed, he shook it in a ball.

When the cover of the bunk was shaken open, everyone in the room clearly saw that in the middle of the rolled up cover, a bloody coat stained with blood stains was impressively wrapped.

Seeing the bloody clothes, the officer's eyes suddenly opened, strode to the side of the bed, lifted the bloody clothes, shook them open, and looked at them carefully.

It was a royal blue coat worn by a man, and after carefully examining the blood stains on the dark coat, the officer's brows were tightly twisted, and after a long while, he asked one of the dragoons beside him, "What kind of clothes did the assassin who fought with General Deng in the market that day wear?" ”

"It seems to be black." Looking at the blood stains in the officer's hand that had dried up, and the pale blue background reflected the bloody clothes with patches of black and red stains, a dragoon guard replied in a low voice.

"That's weird!" Looking at the bloody clothes in his hands, the dragoon guard's brows tightened, and muttered in his mouth: "Although we have captured many people, we have not heard that anyone has escaped with injuries, this bloody clothes ......"

"There's got to be something strange here!" Furrowing his brows tightly, the officer turned his face, handed the bloody clothes to a dragoon guard behind him and said, "You go and inform General Deng immediately and hand over this bloody clothes to the general!" ”

"No!" The dragoon guard, who had received the order, answered with both hands in his bloody clothes, turned around and ran out of the room, rushing out of the courtyard as quickly as possible, along the street, in the direction of the official mansion.

When the soldier was out of the room, the officer said to the other soldiers, "Leave the two of you and search this place carefully, and don't let go of even a piece of land!" Others, carefully search the rest of the premises! ”

A few of the dragoons who remained in the house hurriedly responded, and the remaining two continued to search in the house, while the others ran out of the room and searched in other rooms.

The old beautiful man lying on the roof of the house, looking at all this happening in the courtyard, the cold smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gloomy, as if he was a hunter who had just dug a big pit, and a group of stupid prey were rushing to the big pit he had dug well.

Out of the room, the dragoon officer tilted his head slightly and looked at the roof opposite.

What the dragoon guard officer was looking at was where the old beautiful man was hibernating. Seeing the officer looking at where he was hiding, the old beautiful man hurriedly lay down, but his eyes stared at the small courtyard without blinking.

After half a cup of tea, in a small room in the front yard of the official mansion, Deng Zhan knelt behind a low table, his brows furrowed, looking at the bloody clothes that were spread flat on the table.

The dragoon guard, who had sent the bloody clothes, maintained a posture of clenching his hands into fists and bowing slightly, and stood quietly only three or four steps away in front of Deng Zhan.

Looking down at the bloody clothes, Deng Zhan's brows tightened more and more, and sometimes he made his hand in the shape of a knife, silently gesturing something.

After a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked the dragoon guard, "Where did you find the bloody clothes?" ”

"It's in a house above the market!" The dragoon guard, who had always maintained a fist-hugging and bowing posture, heard Deng Zhan's question and hurriedly responded.

"Quickly lead General Ben forward!" With his hands pressed on the table, Deng Zhan, who had not yet healed from his serious injuries, stood up suddenly, and commanded the dragoon guard with a little anxiety in his tone.

The dragoon guards in the house received the order and hurriedly bowed to the side with their fists clenched.

Walking out from behind the low table, Deng Zhan walked briskly towards the door. As soon as they arrived at the door, two dragoon guards guarding the door stood sideways and stood sideways, blocking the door, blocking Deng Zhan's way.

Seeing the two dragoon guards blocking in front of him, Deng Zhan frowned slightly, and asked the two of them, "What are you waiting for?" ”

The two dragoon guards who blocked Deng Zhan's way did not flinch from Deng Zhan's questioning. The two of them clenched their fists and bowed, and one of them said to Deng Zhan: "The general forgives the sin, His Highness has an order, the general must not leave the house for half a step!" We are also on the orders of His Royal Highness, and I hope that General Haihan ......"

"Haihan! Haihan! Haihan fart! Glaring angrily at the two dragoons blocking the way, Deng Zhan frowned, raised his hand to the bloody clothes on the low table in the room, and shouted at the two dragoons: "Do you two know who left the incision on the bloody clothes?" ”

was yelled at by Deng Zhan, and the two dragoon guards who were blocking the door lowered their heads and did not respond to Deng Zhan's questioning.

"Get out of the way!" Furrowing his brows, Deng Zhan yelled at the two dragoons: "If you delay important matters, General Ben will not spare you two." ”

"Please forgive the General!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists, one of the dragoon guards said to Deng Zhan with a little trepidation on his face: "The two of us are on the orders of His Highness......

Seeing that the two dragoon guards blocking the way were desperate and refused to get out of the way, Deng Zhan knew that Liu Wei probably had explained to all the dragoon guards guarding the official mansion that he was not allowed to leave half a step, even if he left this room, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of the gate of the official mansion.

"Whew!" Deng Zhan let out a long sigh of helplessness, then turned around and said to the dragoon guard in the house: "You go back immediately, bring more people, and be sure to surround all the houses within a radius of thirty steps from that house!" Everything will be done until His Highness returns, and the general will make a plan after he has communicated to His Highness! ”

"No!" The dragoon guards in the house obviously didn't expect his Tongze to dare to block Deng Zhan's way, so he hurriedly answered, and when he was about to go out, he subconsciously glanced at the two dragoons at the door.

Seeing that Deng Zhan no longer insisted on going out, the two dragoon guards blocking the door, after letting the dragoon guards in the house go out, also took a step back, and returned to their position straight up, guarding the door like a sculpture.

With his hands behind his back, he walked back and forth in the house a few times with anxiety, Deng Zhan really couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and shouted to the door: "Someone!" ”

"General!" As soon as he finished speaking, one of the dragoons who had just blocked his way strode to the door, bowed with his fists in response.

"You go to the prison immediately, please ask Your Highness to return to the official mansion, and say that this general has something important to ask to see!" Raising an arm, he pointed to the dragoon guard and nodded a few points in the void, and Deng Zhan gave an order to the dragoon.

"No!" The dragoon guard answered, clenched his fists and took two steps back, then turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the official mansion.

At this time, Liu Wei had already left the prison and was riding with Qin Zhen under the escort of a team of dragoon guards.

"Your Highness should be cautious in the near future!" Riding a horse beside Liu Bian, Qin Zhen lowered his voice while turning his head to look at the houses on both sides, and said to Liu Bian: "This order, within a few days, the number of assassins who intend to assassinate His Highness will definitely increase several times. The streets of the city were close to each other, making it easy for the Assassins to hibernate. Your Highness doesn't leave the official mansion, so don't leave it easily. ”

"This king gave his head to the girl!" Turning his head and smiling at Qin Zhen, Liu Wei said to her softly: "Right now, the military advisors in front of the king's tent are not by his side, and there is no one to discuss when he encounters some things. If the girl is willing to stay with the king......"

"The little girl has nothing else to think about, she just wants to find her husband!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Qin Zhen interrupted him and said to him: "But since the little girl has made some plans for His Highness, she must be by His Highness's side, and she will stay until this matter is peaceful, and then go on the road!" ”

Qin Zhen rejected Liu Bian's proposal, and Liu Biao was not surprised. With a faint smile on his face, he nodded slowly, and did not speak again, but gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly, urging the mount to go faster again.

Liu Wei and the others didn't know that as they were slowly moving along the street, on a private house on the side of the road, a black shadow was quietly dormant, and its cold eyes were moving with Liu Wei and the others walking on the street.
