With the shouts of the officers by the pond, the two or three hundred Jizhou soldiers who were lurking in the backyard to monitor Liu Wei and Guan Qing all jumped out of their hiding places.

"You guys, go to the southeast corner!" A large group of Jizhou soldiers ran to the pond, and the officers who found that Liu Wei and Guan Qing had fled hurriedly assigned tasks to everyone: "A few of you go to the northwest corner. You two, go to the front yard and find help! The others follow me in the backyard! ”

The officer assigned tasks to everyone, and two or three hundred people dispersed in an instant, looking for the traces of Liu Wei and Guan Qing in groups.

The two Jizhou soldiers who were ordered to go to the front yard to find helpers quickly ran along the path towards the front yard, and saw the two Jizhou soldiers running towards the path leading to the front yard from a distance.

Because the position of the two was much closer than the two Jizhou soldiers who were running in the front yard, Liu Wei and Guan Qingzao's two Jizhou soldiers arrived at the intersection in one step.

When they arrived at the side of the road, Liu Wei nodded at Guan Qing, and the two of them immediately got on the path and ran towards the two Jizhou soldiers who were running towards them.

"What happened?" After running a few steps, the two saw the two Jizhou soldiers running towards them from a distance, and Liu Wei shouted to the two of them.

When he shouted, his voice was not very loud, although he deliberately shouted in a rough voice, but Liu Wei knew that unless some professionals who made a living from ventriloquism, it was extremely difficult for people's timbre to change, and if they shouted too loudly, if they were heard by the Jizhou army who was searching for the traces of him and Guan Qing, it would be a big deal.

It may be that Liu Wei and Guan Qing suddenly disappeared without a trace, which made the group of Jizhou soldiers who were monitoring the backyard very panicked, when Liu Wei shouted to the two Jizhou soldiers who ran in front of him, they did not hear the clue, and one of them even raised his hand and pointed behind him, shouting to Liu Bian: "King Hongnong has run away!" Go find out. ”

"Good!" Liu Wei nodded in response, and then glanced at Guan Qing for a later move.

As soon as the two Jizhou soldiers who were going to the front yard to report the interrogation ran past Liu Wei and Guan Qing, Liu Wei and Guan Qing, who were passing by them, suddenly turned around, and one of them stretched out an arm, strangled the necks of the two Jizhou soldiers from behind with lightning speed, and knocked them to the ground.

The two Jizhou soldiers who didn't expect to be attacked at all were strangled by their necks, and they were taken aback, and before they could scream, they fell under their feet and were knocked down by Liu Wei and Guan Qing.

Throwing the two of them to the ground, Liu Wei and Guan Qing did not delay at all, drew out their long swords, and stabbed them fiercely into the hearts of these two Jizhou soldiers.

The two long swords almost simultaneously sank into the hearts of the two Jizhou soldiers, after stabbing out the long swords, Liu Wei and Guan Qing glanced at each other, and did not immediately pull out the long swords, but one by one, dragging the two Jizhou soldiers who were stabbed to death by them, and burrowed into the bushes on the side of the road.

After entering the bushes and arranging the corpses, the two of them drew their swords. As the long sword was drawn, two streams of blood shot out and splashed on the trunk of a tree not far away, and a faint smell of blood suddenly filled the air.

The smell of blood wafted away, and was soon blown away by the evening breeze, getting lighter and fainter, and at the worst it was not smelled at all.

Liu Wei and Guan Qing respectively wiped the blood-stained long sword on the corpse's clothes, inserted it back into the scabbard, and then returned to the path and ran towards the front yard.

"What's going on in the backyard?" Before they could run to the front yard, dozens of people rushed up to them, and a Jizhou officer in the lead shouted at them as soon as he saw Liu Wei and Guan Qing.

"King Hongnong has run away!" When he arrived in front of this group of people, Liu Wei turned around and pointed to the depths of the backyard, and said in a hurried tone, as if he was very flustered, and said to the officer who shouted: "The two of us were ordered to go and call for help!" ”

"Go!" Hearing that King Hongnong had run away, and hearing a commotion in the depths of the backyard, the officer didn't have time to distinguish more, waved his hand at Liu Wei, and shouted to him: "Call more people, don't get away with King Hongnong!" ”

"No!" Liu Wei and Guan Qing responded with their fists together, ran past the group of people, and ran straight towards the front yard.

The two ran to the front yard, and the officer who had just stopped them beckoned to the dozens of Jizhou soldiers who followed behind them, and shouted to the soldiers: "Search carefully!" Especially in the corners, don't miss it! ”

Dozens of Jizhou soldiers responded in unison, and followed the officer to run quickly towards the depths of the backyard.

The noise in the backyard is getting louder and louder, which has already disturbed the Jizhou army guarding the front yard. On the way to the front yard, Liu Wei and Guan Qing met two teams of Jizhou troops entering the backyard in succession.

To guide these Jizhou troops, Liu Wei's demeanor was just right, showing a little panic, but also leaving no room for doubt.

Out of the front yard, Liu Wei looked around, and shouted to a Jizhou officer who was leading a group of people who was about to run towards the backyard: "General Qiyu, King Hongnong has escaped, and it has been ascertained that he escaped from the wall, and the general of the inner courtyard asks everyone in the front yard to go outside the house to intercept!" ”

With dozens of people, the officer who was about to run to the backyard heard Liu Wei's shout, and hurriedly stopped and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Open the gate quickly, go out of the house to chase!" ”

Most of these Jizhou soldiers guarding the former general's mansion have also seen Liu Bian, but now Liu Biao and Guan Qing are wearing the clothes and armor of Jizhou soldiers, and they deliberately change their tones when they speak, so that these Jizhou soldiers who have only seen Liu Bian, but are not very impressed, have not been able to recognize the two for a while.

A group of Jizhou soldiers opened the door of the mansion and rushed out after the officer. Liu Wei and Guan Qing glanced at each other, and also raised their heels.

"From which side of the courtyard wall did you run from?" Out of the mansion, the officer turned his head and shouted at Liu Wei, who was following them.

Hearing the officer ask him which side of the courtyard wall he escaped from, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the backyard, and said to the officer: "It's from that side!" ”

"Let's go!" Having determined the direction, the officer waved to everyone behind him and took the lead in running towards the courtyard wall.

followed dozens of Jizhou soldiers to run forward for a while, and when everyone passed by a dark alley, Liu Wei stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Guan Qingyi, who was running with him.

was pulled by Liu Wei, Guan Qing hurriedly turned his head to look at him.

Xiang Guan Qing muttered, and while the group of Jizhou soldiers were not paying attention, Liu Wei jumped into the dark alley.

jumped into the alley after Liu Bian, Guan Qing's feet were not yet firm, and Liu Bian, who entered the alley first, grabbed her and dragged her towards the end of the alley.

In the dark alleys, although the road is quite flat, the view is not very good. Pulled by Liu Bian, he staggered and ran dozens of steps, and when Liu Bian stopped, Guan Qing found that the road in front of him was blocked by a wall, and they had entered a dead end.

Standing under the wall, looking up at the wall, Liu Wei made a gesture to Guan Qing to go up the wall, and then folded his hands in front of him, half-squatted down, and put on a posture to support Guan Qing.

Seeing Liu Bian's posture, Guan Qing knew that Liu Bian wanted her to put her feet on her hands and hold her up on the wall. didn't delay much, stepped forward, stepped on Liu Wei's hand with one foot, jumped up towards the wall.

At the same time as her body jumped out, Liu Wei suddenly got up, raised his hands to Lu, and borrowed strength from Guan Qing.

With Liu Wei's support, Guan Qing jumped towards the wall, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and climbed to the wall with a strong arm.

Looking up at Guan Qing sitting on the top of the wall, Liu Bian's heart suddenly relaxed. fled Luoyang with Tang Ji that day, and he was trying to avoid arrest all the way, and it was very hard to go.

With Guan Qing at the moment, although it was a fuss first, it made the entire former general's mansion like a fryer, and the Jizhou Army's search and arrest efforts must be extremely strong, but after all, Guan Qing would not drag too much back like Tang Ji. Regarding the successful escape from Yuyang, Liu Wei is still seventy or eighty percent sure.

On the wall, Guan Qing lay on the wall, leaned down, and lowered one hand, meaning to pull Liu Wei up as well.

Liu Wei took a step back, ran a few steps quickly, kicked his right leg to the ground violently, and the whole person jumped in the air, grabbing Guan Qing's drooping hand.

Grabbing Liu Bian's hand, Guan Qing's body fell down violently, she hurriedly grabbed the wall on the other side, kept her body balanced, and lifted Liu Bian upwards with a fierce force.

When he reached the height where he could hold the wall, Liu Wei stretched out his free hand to grab the wall, and then let go of the hand that was grabbed by Guan Qing, and when both hands were solid, he jumped up to the top of the wall with a strong arm.

"Let's go!" On the wall, Liu Wei beckoned to Guan Qing and jumped into the alley on the other side of the wall.

After a group of Jizhou soldiers who were kicked out of the former general's mansion by Liu Wei, after running along the wall for a while, the officer who led the team did not find any signs of anyone escaping all the way, turned around again, and shouted behind him: "Where did King Hongnong flee from?" ”

This shout, he originally wanted to ask Liu Wei who was following them before, but Liu Wei and Guan Qing had already escaped halfway, and after shouting, where could he still get Liu Wei's response.

didn't get a response, the officer stretched out his head and looked back, and there was no trace of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, his heart suddenly tightened, and he asked the soldiers who followed him, "What about those two people?" ”

It wasn't until the officer asked about the two people who ran out of the mansion with them that dozens of soldiers remembered that they were not the only ones who left the former general's mansion, and they looked at each other one by one, but no one noticed when Liu Wei and Guan Qing left.

"Not good!" Standing under the courtyard wall, the officer wrung his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted and shouted to the soldiers who had left the former general's mansion with him: "I'm fooled!" ”

Liu Wei and Guan Qing have already escaped from the former general's mansion, and the hundreds of Jizhou soldiers in the mansion are still searching for them everywhere like a frying pan.

The boiling commotion soon reached Gongsun Zhan's ears.

Gongsun Zhan, who was already asleep, heard that Liu Wei had run away, and suddenly fell asleep, hurriedly put on his clothes and armor, led a team of personal soldiers, and ran to the small courtyard where Liu Wei and Guan Qing lived.

Although they all lived in the backyard of the former general's mansion, Gongsun Zhan's residence was still quite far away from Liu Bian's residence.

"What's wrong?" Without taking a breath, Gongsun Chan roared angrily at a group of Jizhou soldiers who were busy looking for Liu Wei: "What about King Hongnong? ”

"General Qiqi!" Gongsun Zhan roared with anger on his face, and the officer in charge of monitoring Liu Wei and Guan Qing in the backyard hurriedly ran to the front, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "King Hongnong used the excuse that the weather was hot and dry, and he wanted to swim in the pond, and the villain was negligent for a while, but he didn't want to take the opportunity to escape!" ”

"Idiot! You are negligent for a while, but you are going to bring disaster to General Ben! Knowing that Liu Wei had run away, Gongsun Zhan widened his eyes, scolded the officer angrily, and then shouted to the soldiers who ran with him: "Take down all the people who are monitoring King Hongnong in the backyard today, and behead them at noon tomorrow!" ”
