Mo Xiaofeng instructed a few people to find a stretcher, helped Ye Yaokong to the stretcher, and carried him to see Changshu. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as they walked out of the door, suddenly a little minion guarding the door ran to this side and said, "Second young master, Mr. Huai ......" He saw Ye Yaokong there again, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See the helper!"
Ye Yaokong said: "Well, why are you in such a hurry?"
The man said: "Qiyu Gang Master, our patrolling brothers found that Hong Shi Niang sneaked in by climbing the wall, and the fourth brother asked me to inform you!"
Ye Yaokong didn't know about the Red Ten Niang, and asked Mo Xiaofeng a few of them: "What, what's the matter with the Red Ten Niang?"
Huai Chong said: "Oh, that's the case, Hong Shi Niang's hostility towards me has not decreased, I wanted her to come back with me, but she didn't listen to my advice, and ran away while I wasn't paying attention!"
Ye Yaokong snorted coldly and said: "It's right for her to do this, not only will she refuse to let you go, but I won't forgive you, if it weren't for you catching Changshu, I wouldn't have let you stand here a long time ago, and when I solve the matter of Changshu, we will settle the accounts separately!"
Huai Chong said apologetically: "Ye Gang Master, I wish to ...... Chong" didn't say anything, and heard a voice not far away: "Second young master, it's not good!"
A little minion flew over and said in a panic: "Helper, Second Young Master, Mr. Huai, it's not good, Changshu is gone!"
"What!" After hearing this, Ye Yao sat up emptyly, and Mo Xiaofeng and the others were also startled. Ye Yaokong said: "How can this be!"
Huai Chong guessed: "Could it be that he was rescued by Hong Shi Niang, but it is impossible, Hong Shi Niang also hates Chang Shu deeply, it is impossible to save him!"
Ye Yaokong was annoyed and ashamed, trembling his body, and shouted: "Don't care so much first, it's important to catch him back for me first, Feng'er, Yu Zhe, you two stay, Zhuang Han Tanglie, you go and lead everyone, block the entire camp, go all out to catch Changshu, if you can't catch the living, bring someone else's head to see me!"
Zhuang Han and Tang Lie said in unison: "Yes, helper!" After speaking, without delay, he hurriedly went to summon people.
Ye Yaokong said to the rest of the people: "Go, you take me to see it first!"
So a few people carried him and walked towards the house where the permanent art was closed. Mo Xiaofeng and a few others took Ye Yaokong to Guan Changshu's empty house, the door had been opened, and the person who came to report said: "Helper, look, at the beginning, this door was still locked and not opened, a few of our brothers were guarding outside, and suddenly heard a sound inside, so they opened the door and went in to have a look, but when we went in, Changshu was gone!" Ye Yaokong reprimanded: "What do you think, you can't even look at a person who is tied, what are you eating!" The man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes...... Yes, the little ones are not well guarded, please forgive the master!" Ye Yao blanked his eyes and scolded: "A group of rice buckets, quickly carry me in!" Seeing that Ye Yao was angry, they hurriedly carried Ye Yaokong into the hut.
Entering the house, everyone's eyes swept to the place where Changshu was tied, the ropes were all cut off, and Changshu had disappeared. Looking around the house, the windows were closed, there were no holes, it was not like he had escaped through the windows, and there were many people guarding the house, so it was impossible for him to get out of here. The candle on a table in the middle of the house was still burning, and the table was clean.
Ye Yaokong pointed to the severed rope and said, "Is that kid tied there?"
Huai Chong said: "That's right, it was still tied there just now, someone must have come in and cut the rope and rescued him, but I don't know where they escaped from!"
Ye Yaokong questioned a few guards beside him, "Damn, who rescued me from him, didn't any of you hear that there is something abnormal in this house?"
The guard hurriedly explained: "The helper is angry, the little ones have been strictly guarded all the time, and there is no negligence in the slightest, and this house is closed all around, and there are no holes, I really don't know how he escaped!"
Ye Yaokong said irritably: "So, didn't you let him out, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have no holes!"
The guard's whole body shook in fright, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The helper is wronged, how dare the little one do such a thing, please help the helper to find out!"
At this time, Mo Xiaofeng walked to the table, there seemed to be nothing abnormal on the surface, a faint white light shot down from the roof above, and looked up along the white light, only to see a small hole the size of a finger leaking from the roof made of grass, if you don't look closely, it is not very obvious, but this finger-sized hole cannot accommodate a person, he looked carefully before he suddenly realized, pointed to the hole and said: "Father-in-law, Changshu was not let go by them, you come and see this roof!"
The others looked towards the roof, and saw the tiny hole where Mo Xiaofeng was pointing. Mo Xiaofeng said: "Chang Shu should have escaped from here!" Yu Zhe said: "Such a small hole can't even accommodate an arm, how can it accommodate a person!" Mo Xiaofeng pointed at that and said, "Look carefully!"
They took a closer look, and Huai Chong suddenly found a little flawed, pointed to the small hole and said: "I understand, the grass in that piece is uneven, it is obvious that someone went up to the roof to dig a hole, and then built it, so they should have escaped from there!"
"Hey, too!" Yu Zhe and Ye Yaokong also understood. Ye Yaokong gritted his teeth angrily and questioned the guards around him: "You useless things, tell me, how can there be people on the roof, how can this be explained?"
The leader of the guards trembled with fright, pouted his mouth, and could not speak.
Mo Xiaofeng said: "No one has left between you?"
The leader trembled, "This ...... This...... We once heard a sound around us, and then we ...... And then...... I went out and took a look!"
Ye Yaokong heard this, and scolded: "Bastard, you have fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!"
The leader's legs were weak from fright, and he knelt down and said, "It's a small damn one, please help spare your life!"
Mo Xiaofeng gently patted him on the shoulder, stabilized him and said, "How long have you been out since you heard the voice?"
The leader said, "Big ...... There are probably ...... Half an hour!"
"Half an hour?" Mo Xiaofeng thought for a moment, and Huai Chong interjected: "How can they be so fast in half an hour!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "In my opinion, it is entirely possible, they can use half an hour to rescue Chang Shu and then hide on the roof, but I guess they didn't leave at that time, but waited until the guards found that Chang Shu was missing and was looking around, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape!"
The rest of the people listened to him and had some truth in what he said. Mo Xiaofeng walked to the table and looked at the fact that there were still some bits and pieces of silt left next to the table, which were still wet and sticky, and then looked at the clean and unabnormal desktop, but in fact, there was a lot of work. He pointed to the mud and said, "You see that there is no dust on this table, they must have left footprints on the table when they came down from the roof, and they were afraid that we would see where they had escaped, so they wiped the footprints off when they went out, and then look at the mud on the ground, it must be the footprints they left!"
Yu Zhe said: "Maybe it could be the footprints we left?"
Mo Xiaofeng smiled and said: "We have been away from this house for a long time, if we left it, it would have dried up a long time ago, and you can see that the footprints are obviously still wet at the moment, so I conclude that they should have just walked out not far away!"
Yu Zhe heard that he did make sense, so he no longer questioned it. Ye Yaokong said: "Since they haven't walked far away, then quickly seal all the exits and arrest him back for me!" After finishing speaking, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Helper!"
The person who came was a subordinate of Zhuang Han, who hurriedly ran over and gasped: "Helper, it's not good, Bao ...... Protector ...... Someone has poisoned him!"
"What!" Ye Yaokong didn't hear it well, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Don't swallow it, what the hell is going on!"
The man said: "We followed the Zhuang Protector and the Tang Envoy to round up Changshu, and found that in the grass at the root of the camp wall, the Protector was lying there...... He's ...... Already...... I'm so angry!"
Mo Xiaofeng and the others suddenly burst into shock in unison: "Ah!"
Ye Yaokong almost exploded in anger, clenched his fists fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Bastard, you must catch Chang Shu back for me, I will chop him into meat sauce and throw him into the sea to feed the fish!" He raised his head and roared: "Ah......"
Mo Xiaofeng comforted him and said, "Father-in-law, you calm your anger first, don't hurt your body, we will definitely arrest Chang Shu back!"
Ye Yaokong eased his anger and said to the man, "Take me to see it!" The man nodded and said, "Yes, helper!"
As soon as they came to the place where the fire was killed in the corner of the wall, they saw many people standing there, Zhuang Han and his subordinates were among them, especially Bao Si, who was even kneeling there and crawling and crying: "Big brother...... You and my brother have a ...... Although we usually love intrigues, we are still brothers...... I'll avenge you......"
At this time, suddenly a few people next to him saw a few people carrying a person over, and the person who was being carried was Ye Yaokong, and hurriedly said: "The helper is here, the helper is here!"
Zhuang Han saw that Ye Yaokong was coming, so he stepped forward and bowed: "See the helper!"
Bao Si saw Ye Yaokong coming, went up and knelt down in front of him and cried: "Helper, you must avenge my eldest brother...... My eldest brother he ...... He ......"
"Cry what cry!" Ye Yaokong interrupted him and reprimanded: "A big man knows how to cry!"
Bao Si shrugged his shoulders so shocked by his voice that he choked up and didn't dare to make another sound.
Ye Yaokong asked the people around him, "What is going on, why is the Protector Envoy here?"
One of the little minions said tremblingly: "Qiqi Gang Master, just now the escort envoy took a few of us to inspect the whereabouts of Changshu, and the escort envoy who patrolled here said that he wanted to relieve himself first, let us continue to investigate, he followed in a while, and we followed his instructions, but we didn't see the escort follow us for a long time after we left, so we came back to look for it, and when we walked over, we saw that the escort was already lying here!"
Ye Yaokong said: "So, they have been here for Changshu, but you didn't even find out!"
The little minion hurriedly knelt down and said bitterly: "Help the master forgive the sins, blame the little ones for negligence!"
Mo Xiaofeng said to Ye Yaokong: "Father-in-law, the matter has come to this, it is useless to punish them, and now is not the time to punish them!"
Ye Yaokong said: "That's what you said, wait until I catch Chang Shu and then settle accounts with them!"
Zhuang Han said: "Helper, our top priority now is to quickly find Chang Shu and see where he will hide." ”
Mo Xiaofeng held his chin in his hand and pondered: "In my opinion, they must not have left the camp, because Chang Shu fled, and the officers and soldiers under him who were surrendered by us will definitely be shaken, I guess Chang Shu must be looking for an opportunity to re-win his officers and soldiers, and then turn back to fight back at us, we have to stop them quickly!"
Yu Zhe said: "Since this is the case, what are you trying to rub into, I'm afraid it will not be good for us if we can't find them again!"
Ye Yaokong asked Mo Xiaofeng and said, "Where are those officers and soldiers you surrendered, take me quickly!"
Mo Xiaofeng said: "Yes, father-in-law, please come with me!"
Ye Yaokong said to the rest of the people: "Brothers, follow me to catch the common technique!" Bao Si cried again in the back: "Helper, you must avenge my eldest brother!" Ye Yaokong said impatiently: "Don't cry here, cry again, I'll abolish you!" Bao Si immediately didn't dare to speak out again.
Ye Yaokong and the others followed Mo Xiaofeng to the place where the officers and soldiers were placed, only to hear the sound of fighting in front of them, and some people were shouting loudly. Mo Xiaofeng said to Ye Yaokong: "Father-in-law, you heard the sound of a fight in front of you, it seems that there is a Tang Protector inside." Ye Yaokong said: "It must be Tang Hu who made them discover the Changshu, go over and take a look, you must catch the Changshu!"
So, the brigade rushed forward. I saw a large group of officers and soldiers holding spears in their hands, besieging the city in half a circle, advancing and retreating, as if they were hesitating and not moving. In the circle, Tang Lie and others were fighting with a few people. A few of those officers and soldiers couldn't help but want to step forward to help, Tang Lie shouted: "Don't do stupid things, he is not your general, do you still want to help him!" The officers and soldiers delayed again, and Tang Lie said again: "They killed your general, don't you avenge your general, do you still want to protect him!"
Mo Xiaofeng, Ye Yaokong and the others didn't understand, how could there be such a few strangers on the island, but it seemed that they had seen them somewhere, and listening to Tang Lie's words, could it be that Chang Shu was killed by those few people?
Among the several people who were besieged, a middle-aged man with a beautiful face and half of his hair shouted: "Don't listen to him, they are your enemies, don't be fooled by them, if I die, they will kill you all next!"
Looking at these people, there were no Changshu figures, but the faces of these people seemed to be somewhat familiar, and they couldn't remember where they had seen them for a while. Ye Yaokong asked the people around him: "What's going on, who are they, how can they appear here?" Mo Xiaofeng said: "Father-in-law, wait for a few of us to go up and take them down, and we'll know as soon as we ask!" Ye Yaokong saw that the half-haired person's martial arts were extraordinary, and reminded him: "That strangely dressed person is not easy to deal with, you must be careful!" Mo Xiaofeng said: "Don't worry, father-in-law!" and said to Yu Zhe: "Big brother, let's go!"
After saying that, the two of them rushed forward with a sword and a sword.
