After hearing the whistle, An Sheng also took out the chest bone whistle and blew it gently, and after a while, he felt that the strong wind flashed in front of him, and two figures fell from the high wall and landed in front of her and Qinghui, it was Lu Zheng and Lu Wen.

The four of them glanced at each other, didn't say much, nodded to each other, Lu Zheng helped An Sheng, Lu Wen took Qinghui, one Tengyue, and in a blink of an eye, they went outside.

After standing firmly, several people came to an alley not far from the courtyard, and through the moonlight, An Sheng saw that a carriage was parked in the alley.

Lu Zheng let An Sheng and Qinghui get into the carriage, and then followed himself, and Lu Wen in disguise drove the car.

An Sheng didn't ask Lu Zheng why Lu Wen came, since Lu Zheng called Lu Wen, there must have been his arrangement.

However, she didn't ask, Lu Zheng explained it himself, and after the carriage rolled up, Lu Zheng lowered his voice and said to An Sheng: "Recently, the imperial city has been inspected strictly, so I specially asked Lu Wen to catch the car, in case I ran into the patrol officers and soldiers, it would be good to have an explanation." ”

Of course, it's best if you can't touch it.

But no one dares to say whether they will run into the officers and soldiers of the night patrol, if they do, only An Sheng and Qinghui will inevitably be difficult to explain, so Lu Zheng has already passed the anger with Wen Tao, if once they are touched by the officers and soldiers of the night patrol, it will be said that the second young master of the Wenguo Mansion invited them to go for treatment, and the emperor did not order a curfew, with him, the officers and soldiers of the night patrol will not dare to say anything.

Of course, this is also because the Wenguo Mansion is relatively close to Xishi, and it can barely be said to be a way, otherwise, Lu Zheng would not think of such an excuse.

Wen Tao didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't ask, so Lu Zheng didn't explain much.

It's not that he deliberately concealed Wen Tao, but he mainly felt that this was An Sheng's business after all, and without An Sheng's permission, he couldn't say too much, but Wen Tao had already guessed what An Sheng was going to do, so he didn't ask much.

Lu Wen walked a lot of small roads and alleys, just so as not to meet the officers and soldiers of the night patrol, he grew up in Yejing since he was a child, and he was not unfamiliar with the patrol route of the patrol guards, so along the way, he really did not meet the officers and soldiers of the night patrol.

When it was approaching, the four of them could be said to have arrived at the backyard door of the Hu family cake shop without danger.

At this time, it was late, except for the flower street at the entrance of the West Market, which was still brightly lit, most of the shops inside had been closed, and only a dim light was left in front of the door, which could barely illuminate the world at the entrance of the store.

There was not even a light at the front door of the Hu family cake shop, and the whole store looked dark from the outside.

But it's not surprising, they always close their shop early, and they never do business after dark, so no one thinks it's strange that the lights are out at this moment.

Hujia Cake Shop is surrounded by some small shops, a grocery store, a mutton restaurant, this time is no longer doing business, only the guy who looks after the shop is still there, Lu Wen parked the carriage at the door of the backyard of Hujia Cake Shop, you can hear the earth-shattering snoring sound on both sides, it can be seen that the people inside are dreaming.

After the carriage stopped, Lu Wen didn't call the others down, he went first and knocked lightly on the door.

The door rang three times, and a loud voice came from inside, asking in a low voice who it was.

Lu Wen also lowered his voice and replied, "Look at the disease." ”

An Sheng didn't hear the two men in the carriage, but heard the creak of the wooden door opening.

After Hu Da opened the door, he was not surprised to see Lu Wen, he only opened the door and beckoned them in.

The carriage prepared by Lu Zheng was not big, just enough to enter through the backyard door of the Hu family.

After Lu Wen stopped the carriage again, he beckoned An Sheng and them to come down.

Hu Da saw An Sheng and the others get out of the carriage, and after greeting them one by one, he led them to the front.

After walking a short distance, Hu Daben stopped at the southeast corner of the backyard, and then pointed to his feet and said to An Sheng: "The people are inside, and the cellar is below." ”

Naturally, there is no place like a dungeon in the Hu family, but people can't be hidden in the open, so hiding in the cellar is a good choice.

Yejing is located in the north, many families have cellars, used to store winter vegetables, Hu family is engaged in the food business, naturally there are cellars.

However, the courtyard of the Hu family is not particularly large, so the cellar is naturally not very large, and suddenly there are so many people going down, it will obviously be very crowded, and it is not necessary, so a few people discussed it and decided that Lu Wen and Qinghui would stay on it, and Lu Zheng, An Sheng and Hu Da would go down.

Hu Da lit a lamp and candle and took Lu Zheng and An Sheng down.

It was dark inside, until they went down, there was a little light, An Sheng looked along the light of the candle flame, and saw in front of a small pile of grain bags, leaning on two people, one old and one young, all tied hand and foot, hanging their heads motionless, as if asleep, someone came, and they didn't react at all.

An Sheng looked at Hu Da and asked him what was going on with his eyes.

Hu Da made a few anxious gestures towards her, and then explained: "A little trick in the rivers and lakes, there are many people in Xishi, and people are placed here, so we must ensure that they can't call for help at will." ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the two of them, and then, taking out a small bottle from his bosom, put it on the end of their noses and shook it.

Soon, An Sheng saw that the two people who seemed to be asleep had a reaction.

The two of them came to their senses and saw the situation in front of them, and their first reaction was naturally to call for help, but Hu Da's eyes were quick, and a cold blade was across the necks of the two of them, and the two of them were immediately honest, and only begging for mercy was left in their mouths.

They didn't seem to notice An Sheng and Lu Zheng yet, and they patronized and begged Hu Da for mercy, An Sheng and Lu Zheng walked over side by side and stood still behind Hu Da.

At this time, I heard Hu Da say viciously: "My master has two words to ask you, you can answer honestly, and you can save your life, but if you play tricks, hum, then don't blame my knife for being merciless!" ”

This threat was obviously very useful, and when the old and the young heard this, they were already frightened and overwhelmed, and nodded busily and said that they must know everything and say everything.

Hu Da handed the lamp and candle to Lu Zheng, and then nodded at An Sheng, signaling that she could ask.

Only then did the two notice that there was a woman standing in front of them, but when they slowly looked up, they could only see a slightly pointed jaw, and a wide cloak hood covered most of An Sheng's face, and they couldn't see An Sheng's appearance clearly at all.

And Lu Zheng and Hu Da were also covered with black scarves on their faces, except for a general body outline, they couldn't see any other useful information, so they didn't know who the person who tied them up was.

The unknown is often the most terrifying, if they know who the person who kidnapped them is, they can at least have some confidence in their hearts, but they don't even know who the kidnapper is, which makes people feel completely bottomless.

And the more bottomless, the more scared they are.
