Chapter 253: Laughing about life and death
Hu Bingsheng, the counselor of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, was anxious to go back to receive merit from the Governor of Fengdadu, and did not delay too much, and ordered his soldiers to escort Xue Rang out of the courtyard.
Li Tiantu knew that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and jumped down from the wall when the soldiers escorted Xue Rang on his horse, kicked over the two soldiers, and picked up Xue Rang to grab the horse.
By the time Hu Bingsheng, who was at the front of the team, reacted, Li Tiantu had already turned into the depths of the alley.
In a fit of rage, Hu Bingsheng took the lead in chasing for a while, but finally lost it. The meat to his mouth was forcibly snatched away, and General Hu Shen was thundering at this time, if it weren't for the fact that several soldiers around him were cronies who had followed him for more than ten years, he would have jumped a few times earlier with one shot.
Hu Bingsheng scolded all the way back to the Governor's Mansion, but there was one thing he would never have imagined, when passing through the corner of an alley in the city, a gray and black figure looked coldly at General Hu who returned empty-handed, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "I actually let Xue Rang slip away, is there any great master in Liangzhou City?" ”
Li Tiantu let go of the robbed horses, looked at the northwest corner tower of Liangzhou City, which was relatively lax in guarding, and turned his head to Xue Rang and whispered: "General, it's better to get out of the city as soon as possible while the night is dark." The patrol in the inner city had just passed, and it wasn't long before another team would come. ”
Xue Rang, whose black hair had been mottled in just over two months, looked like an old farmer in the mountains at this time, was dressed in shabby coarse linen clothes, and although his former sharpness was gone, his eyes were still shining. General Xue did not have the joy of escaping death at all, but said extremely calmly: "Commander Li, you saved the wrong person, the former General Xue is dead!" ”
Li Tiantu clearly felt a sense of death from Xue Rang's voice, and suddenly he had a trace of anger, and roared in a low voice: "Xue Rang, don't forget, in that small courtyard not long ago, there was a loyal and courageous little fourth brother who died for you, do you want the little four to die in vain?" ”
Xue Rang was silent when he heard this, and there seemed to be sadness in his eyes, but he was still unmoved on the surface.
There were already neat footsteps in the distance, the sky was getting brighter, and the best time to get out of the city had passed unconsciously, Li Tiantu had no choice but to reach out and point at Xue Rang's acupoint, put it on his shoulder, and then turned back and jumped into the dense dwellings in the city.
At dawn on the second day, the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion dispatched 500 government soldiers, with a team of 10 people, to start a carpet search of the entire Liangzhou City, and the main search targets were mostly densely populated inns and some remote houses.
Hu Bingsheng sat at the Fulai Inn in the center of the city with a black face and a horse face, and his heart was unspeakable.
When he returned to the Governor's Mansion last night, he didn't worry too much about being scolded by the Governor at most, but the development of things was completely unexpected for him. Feng Dadudu, who regarded him as a humerus on weekdays, was furious when he heard that Xue Rang was robbed, and he was about to draw his sword and behead him on the spot.
Although the Governor of Feng Dadu had already ordered the whole city to ban the hand Yu last night, and he could only enter and leave the four gates of Liangzhou City within three days from last night, Hu Shenjiang remembered the mysterious master of the rivers and lakes last night, and there were always some uncertain factors in his heart.
On the bench, Hu Bingsheng paced back and forth in the front hall of the inn with his hands behind his back, showing his anxiety.
The short innkeeper shrunk his sleeves and hid behind the tall counter, secretly screaming in his heart that the front hall of his small shop was chosen as a temporary command place by the fierce and vicious general of the Governor's Mansion in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that the backyard rooms were full and there were still some inputs, I was afraid that I would have to lose a lot of silver taels in the past few days. But fortunately, I only have three days, and I can always get through it, right? If he can't even endure these little things, how can his Li Er's small shop stand in the center of Liangzhou City with many shops for more than 20 years without any background, doesn't it rely on his all-enduring Wang Ba character and his eight-sided exquisite heart of Qiqiao? The lord in front of him is obviously a tiger on the verge of rage, and it is better to be careful not to pick up the tiger's whiskers.
Li Tiantu asked for an upper room at the Fulai Inn before Hu Bingsheng came. Under the wind and rain in the city, he thought that the Fulai Inn would not be able to escape the fate of being thoroughly investigated by the guards of the Governor's Mansion, but he didn't expect that Hu Bingsheng would choose this place as a temporary place to stay. Now he was completely relieved, the most dangerous place is the safest place, isn't it?
In the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Feng Qianli's mood was not much better than that of his subordinate General Hu Shen, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect to be messed up by this waste." ”
Yan Zhen took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said softly: "Brother Feng is a little restless, it's no wonder that General Hu Shen." Since ancient times, Liangzhou City has had many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Since Brother Feng can't tolerate Xue Rang in his eyes, why didn't he start earlier? ”
Feng Qianli sighed secretly and said with a wry smile: "Does the city lord think I don't want to?" It's just that it is still necessary to take the affairs of the court step by step, and it is naturally not comparable to the enmity and enmity in the rivers and lakes. ”
Yan Zhen scoffed at Feng Qianli's intention of wanting to be a bitch and set up an archway, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he had to smile and say: "Fortunately, it's not too late, the city gate has been sealed, and this time even if he digs three feet in the city, Yan will accompany Brother Feng to find out Xue Rang." ”
With the support of Yan Zhen, the master of the land list, the long-lost smile on the face of the Feng Metropolitan Governor became more and more popular.
Two days have passed, the five hundred guards of the Governor's Mansion have turned over the entire Liangzhou City, and still can't find Xue Rang's hiding place, Hu Bingsheng of the Fulai Inn has become more and more impatient, he doesn't even dare to think about how to bear the anger of Feng Qianli if he can't find anyone the day after tomorrow.
At this time, Li Tiantu appeared. The last time he rescued Xue from Hu Bingsheng's hands, he let him use the "Thousand Changes" human skin mask left by Yun Mengluo, so naturally he didn't need to worry about Hu Bingsheng being suspicious of him.
Li Tiantu sat opposite Hu Bingsheng silently, and without waiting for the other party to get angry, he suddenly said in a shocking voice: "General Hu wants to know Xue Rang's whereabouts?" ”
Hu Bingsheng didn't care about asking about the origin of the person in front of him at this time, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw before he died, and said urgently: "Brother Tai, do you know Xue Rang's whereabouts?" ”
Li Tiantu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
This completely annoyed Hu Bingsheng, grabbed Li Tiantu's collar and said, "Boy, do you know who I am, uncle?" Dare to come to entertain Lao Tzu? ”
In the face of the angry Hu Bingsheng, Li Tiantu didn't react much, just frowned and said: "I only know that if General Hu can't find Xue Rang after a day, I'm afraid... ”
