It was too late, at this moment, the sound of horses neighing sounded in the backyard, and when Pan Wuye led people to the backyard, the carriage disappeared and the horses disappeared, and the other party still had the kung fu to put the carriage on.

"I'm your ancestor! Damn, ride a horse and chase it! They didn't know the road, and they were driving the carriage, so they must have taken the main road, and they would definitely be able to catch up with them separately. Fifth Master Pan quickly analyzed the situation, and then ordered.

"Yes!" The thieves didn't dare to delay, next to it was the stable, and they led the horse to chase out, Pan Wuye took the lead in the charge without saying a word, and in a blink of an eye, he had already identified a main direction, he had an intuition, the other party must be going to the north gate!

But before he could ride onto the main road, there was a loud whistle from the south, which was the signal they had agreed upon. Pan Wuye looked back, thinking that after dark, his intuition was reversed like a dream, and he turned the horse's head and returned to the right path.

What Pan Wuye didn't know was that when he reacted to being deceived, Zhu Qizhen had already slipped out of the inn from the front door with a few people, and was hiding on the street not far away at this time to see Fan Zhong, who had already changed his silk to coarse cloth.

"Childe's attainment in the art of war has reached the pinnacle, and there is already such power between the virtual and the real!" Li Xian sighed and patted Zhu Qizhen with a small sycophant.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Li Xian, the more he looked at this person, the more he looked like the description in history: he has been in politics for more than 30 years in his life, he is honest and honest as an official, has outstanding political achievements, and is a good minister for a generation.

Could it be that a generation of upright rulers love to pat on the back?

Zhu Qizhen......

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen ignored him, Li Xian was not embarrassed, but continued to ask, "Childe, where are we going now?" ”

Zhu Qizhen explained: "In the afternoon, I followed Boss Huang in the morning with Fan Zhong, and I went to a gambling house, and I remember that there is a small inn nearby, which should be able to live. ”

The reason why he ran away without really snatching the carriage was because now that the city gate was closed, even if he succeeded in snatching the carriage, there was no way to get out of the city, and it was easy to expose the target.

Besides, Zhu Qizhen is not ready to leave like this, I don't know it, forget it, now I know that the people of Luoyang are in dire straits, can I still be regarded as their monarch if I don't do something?

Only then did he decide to find a safe place to hide, anyway, Tian Li's Henan capital soldiers and horses could arrive in less than a day, and the situation was still very safe.

It's just that there is always an obvious flaw in the middle of the night, and Zhu Qizhen has no better way to solve it, and he can't sleep on the street where there are not even beggars during the curfew.

Let's take one step at a time, if you can't do it, you can pretend to be a gambler, and there are many night owls in the gambling house, and it won't be so eye-catching. The gambling house is located in a relatively remote area, and I hope that I will be lucky on the road and not be discovered.

After making up his mind, Zhu Qizhen quickened his pace, at this time there was no longer a long sword on the neck of the third child he was pulling, and the third child was very worthy of running, the blood on his chest had been covered by clothes, but the wound on his neck kept reminding him to be obedient.

In the first half of the night, after Tian Chao left the rich gambling house, he hugged a pair of calves in despair and came to a dilapidated mansion. The door of the house is huge, and there is still half a plaque on the door, with a money word on it.

Tian Chao hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward and knock on the door, and it took a long time for someone inside to answer.

"Who?" The man inside asked.

Tian Chao knew who was coming as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said, "Master Qian, I'm Chao'er." ”

The sound of the door opening began to come from inside the door, and Master Qian heard that Chao'er spoke faster: "Why did Chao'er come home at this time?" Got into trouble with your dad again? It's not that I said you, your father's temper is like that, don't keep arguing with him, he's old. ”

With a creak, the door opened, and a lame old man leaned out of his wrinkled face, with a hint of joy on his wrinkled face, and the red color of the lantern he was carrying had almost faded, and the original color could only be seen near the top.

When Tian Chao saw the comer, he couldn't hold back anymore, crying and kneeling on the ground, his face was already full of tears.

"Master Qian, I'm sorry for you!" Tian Chao said.

Master Qian asked puzzledly: "What's the matter?" What do you have to say about me? ”

put down the crutches and hurriedly went to help Tian Chao, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he touched what he had just ignored: a pair of human legs.

Master Qian accidentally hit the lantern light in his hand on the person's leg, and after seeing it clearly, he finally understood what it was.

The old man closed his eyes, a line of tears came out of his ears, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it in the rich gambling house?" ”

Tian Chao nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!" It's that I didn't take a good look at the Houhou and let him ......"

"Are people still alive?" Master Qian interrupted Tian Chao.

"Still alive, they asked you to bring two hundred taels of silver to ransom people, otherwise you ......" Tian Chao's choked voice paused.

"Or what?" Mr. Qian asked.

"Otherwise, sell the shouhou to the beggars to beg for food." Tian Chao's voice was like a mosquito.

Master Qian closed his eyes tightly, and he muttered: "Kill my wife, rob my property, break my legs, and even let my son beg?" How is it that there is no retribution for such wicked people? Heaven is unfair! ”

After standing for a long time, Master Qian came back to his senses, and forced himself back to his home, holding a jewelry box in his arms, which was the dowry of his deceased wife, and he was reluctant to look at it on weekdays, so he could only take it out today to save his son.

"I'm tired of you bringing back the leg of the guard, I'll do the rest, you can go home early." Master Qian said.

Tian Chao didn't agree, and after sending his leg into the Qian Mansion, he was behind Master Qian, and he almost shouted: "I'm not leaving!" You treated our family like relatives and never treated us as tenants. Now I don't have any other skills, so let me use two strengths to carry the Shouhou back! ”

Master Qian looked at Tian Chao who was in tears, and finally did not refuse anymore, and nodded painfully.

Seeing this, Tian Chao wiped the tears on his face, carried Master Qian on his back, and trotted towards the rich gambling house.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen and the others entered the alley of the gambling house, they saw two figures coming out of the gambling house from afar, but their walking posture looked a little strange, and they had an unprecedented feeling of familiarity.

Zhu Qizhen quickly took a few people to hide, and only when the other party approached did he know why he had a sense of familiarity, it turned out to be the two gamblers during the day, and there was an old lame man beside him.

At this time, I found out that the thin man's calves had disappeared, and he was walking on the back of another person, no wonder he felt that they were walking in a strange posture before. Seeing this scene, I thought of the fact that the three of them had just come out of the gambling house, and it was already certain that the gambling house people did it.

When the three of them passed the intersection, Zhu Qizhen suddenly said: "This brother, your name is Chao'er, right?" ”

South City Gate

The carriage was abandoned not far from the city gate, and there was nothing inside, Pan Wuye frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, he felt that he had been tricked.

"Fifth master, brothers, this is going to search from house to house!" Xiao Wu said sharply on the side.

With a crisp slap, Pan Wuye looked at this fool, and he roared angrily: "Didn't you see that it was a sound that hit the west?" Search your mother's head! Go to the north gate to chase after them, they must be waiting for the city gate to open and get out of the city! ”

"Why don't you go to the East and West Gates?" Xiao Wu asked aggrievedly.

There was another snap, and Pan Wuye continued to roar: "From here to the farthest north gate, is the sound not moving?" ”

After calming down, Pan Wuye still ordered: "You two go to the east gate and the west gate respectively, and send a signal if there is a situation!" ”

"Yes!" Then the crowd dispersed, and the thieves continued to pursue.

Fan Zhong coldly watched the pursuers leave, and he disappeared on the roof.
