The four of them rushed out of the Fei family compound, at this time the wind was high and the moon was dark outside, and there was no one on the street, only the houses near the Fei family compound were lit up, and they all stood on the windowsill and looked at the raging fire in the Fei family compound in panic, not knowing what happened.

As soon as the four of them turned into an alley, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the city gate, rushing towards the Fei family's compound like a tide, and the horses neighed: "Arrest Liu Xuan! Capture Liu Xuan alive!"

"Big brother, what should I do?" Fu Qingyun asked.

"Go to the ancestral hall of the Liu family!" Liu Xuan said: "There is a secret passage under the ancestral hall, hide it in for a few days." ”

Liu Xuan led a few people to the Liu family ancestral hall, but fortunately, there was no one in the streets and alleys at this time, and no one saw their whereabouts. When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Liu Jiu led everyone straight to the ancient well in the backyard.

Since Liu Xuan raised his army, the ancestral hall has long been smashed by the government, and the cobwebs are dusty everywhere, and no one lives in it.

"This is a secret passage dug by the Liu family in the early years, in case of danger, hiding in case of danger, and outsiders have no way of knowing. Liu Xuan pointed to the ancient well.

"I'll go down first, you guys follow!" Liu Xuan took the lead in pulling the noose and sliding down the ancient well, Fu Qingyun followed closely behind, slipped about two feet deep, and heard the sound of the well water.

"Hold your breath and sink down!" Liu Xuan finished speaking, and plunged into the well water.

Fu Qingyun took a deep breath and sank into the water.

Liu Xuan led the way in front of the dive, about a foot deep, Liu Xuan touched an entrance on the wall of the well, drilled through the entrance, and then swam forward less than two meters, Liu Xuan kicked hard with both feet, and emerged from the water.

Fu Qingyun then came out, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers. However, he has succeeded in "watching the lotus", his eyesight is outstanding, and he can faintly see the stone steps under his feet obliquely upward, the entrance of the tunnel is connected to the well water, and above the stone steps is a dry underground secret passage.

Liu Jiu touched a torch on the wall, and then touched the flint and lit it, it seems that Liu Jiu is very familiar with this place, and he should have been on guard.

Liu Xuan held a torch to lead the way in front, and after walking for a while, the tunnel gradually became wider, enough for the three of them to walk side by side. Coming to a fork road, Liu Xuan said: "This secret passage is not long, there is only one entrance, that is, this entrance in the ancient well of the ancestral hall; there are two exits, both of which can only be opened from the secret passage, one is open behind the ancestral hall incense shrine, and the other is open behind the Siyuan Restaurant where we ate before, which is extremely hidden and difficult for outsiders to find." ”

"But I still can't get out of the city, what should I do?" Chu Wenjing asked.

"I have to hide for a few days before I make a plan. Liu Xuan said.

Lin Zhengjun followed behind a few people and was silent.

There was nothing in the secret passage, and several people were tired and hungry, but they could only tighten their waists. Liu Xuan extinguished the torches, and a few people leaned against the wall of the secret passage cave to sleep for the night.

I don't know how long I slept, Fu Qingyun woke up first. There was not the slightest light in the secret passage, and I don't know what time it was, but I felt hungry and thirsty, and it was unbearable.

Fu Qingyun has good eyesight and can see at night, he followed the secret passage to the stone steps where the ancient well and the secret passage meet, and drank the well water in both hands.

Quenching his thirst, Fu Qingyun sat on the stone steps in a quiet daze, remembering the conversation between Cui Zishan and Zhen Fu. Guanxuan was slapped twice by Cui Fa half a year ago, and his injuries were serious, I don't know how it is now. He really wanted to go out to find Xuan Cheng immediately, but now he was trapped in the city, and he was helpless, which made people's hearts like oil.

In depression, Liu Xuan and Chu Wenjing came down from the secret passage with torches, and the two of them also took a few sips of water and drank it, seeing Fu Qingyun frowning, Liu Xuan asked: "Qingyun, what are you worried about?"

Fu Qingyun sighed and said abruptly: "I learned from Cui Zishankou last night that a friend of mine was injured by Cui Fa half a year ago, and I don't know how it is now, and I don't know where I am. ”

"Is it a friend of your lodge?"

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, it's the younger brother's sweetheart. So Fu Qingyun briefly talked about the encounter with Xuan Xuan in the "Hades Cave".

Chu Wenjingqi said: "You have such an adventure in the 'Hades Cave', no wonder Wantong can't enter your heart. ”

Fu Qingyun smiled bitterly: "That's not it, I've always treated Wantong as my own sister." Since I first met Xuan, I have identified her, but since the farewell of the 'Hades Cave', I have never had time to separate, but I didn't expect her to be seriously injured. ”

Liu Xuan said: "When I get out, I will immediately send troops out to investigate, and I must find my younger siblings back." ”

"Not really. Fu Qingyun said: "The little pig next to me is different, I hope I can find her." When I get out, I'm going to look for her as soon as I get out. ”

"You go, it's important for your brother and sister. Liu Xuan said: "Qingyun, you are doing a good job, why don't you take advantage of the night to escape from the city wall first." ”

Fu Qingyun shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the city wall is three zhang high, and with my current light skills, I can't get out." What's more, the eldest brother is still here, how can the younger brother escape alone. ”

Liu Xuan sighed: "Now it is estimated that the city is full of officers and soldiers outside, and it is difficult to escape from the city gate!"

"There's always a way. Fu Qingyun said suddenly.

After pondering for a while, Liu Xuan sighed: "Qingyun, when we come to Nanyang this time, I'm afraid we will make a wrong move and lose the whole game." ”

Fu Qingyun nodded and was silent.

Liu Xuan continued: "Back then, Uncle Lin was a loyal and benevolent person, but I didn't expect Zhengjun to be so vicious, even the children were not spared. Even if I'm used to seeing the killing scenes, I'm a little overwhelmed. ”

Fu Qingyun said: "Maybe Uncle Lin died tragically, the blow was too big, and it left him too deep hatred." ”

As the three of them were talking, they suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and Liu Jiu hurriedly put out the torches.

After a while, I heard the footsteps of a large group of people pouring into the ancestral hall of the Liu family, smashing in the ancestral hall of the Liu family, and the crowd was angry.

"Catch the bandit Liu Xuan!"

"It's a shame!"

"Slash this brutal thief alive!"

"Burn down the ancestral shrine of the Liu family!"

"Boom!" someone threw stones into the ancient well, and someone slid down the rope with torches to see if there was a secret door in the ancient well.

The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come out.

After tossing for a long time, the crowd left the ancestral hall of the Liu family, and the sound gradually faded away.

"Hehe, it seems that my expectations are good, and now the people of Nanyang are facing us. Liu Xuan smiled bitterly.

Chu Wenjing said: "Although the Fei family is flying, Zhengjun's cruelty is to offend the anger of the public. ”

Liu Xuan lit the torch, the three of them returned to the secret passage, Lin Zhengjun also woke up, and asked, "Brother Xuan, have you gone to find food?"

Liu Xuan sighed: "Now that the whole city is arresting us, how dare you go out, let's hold on for a while." ”

Fu Qingyun said: "It's estimated that it's morning now, let's hold on for another day, and in the dead of night in the evening, we'll sneak out to find something to eat." ”

Lin Zhengjun said: "Can we only hide in the secret passage?"

Chu Wenjing said with a smile: "As long as you can find food, eat and sleep in the cave, sleep and eat, and be a mouse for a few days is not bad." ”

"Haha, senior brother can think about it. Fu Qingyun said: "I can only hold on for a few days and see the situation before making plans." ”

The four of them were hungry, and when they were thirsty, they quenched their thirst with well water, so they spent another day in the cave, and it was estimated that it was midnight, Liu Xuan said: "I will take a look from the exit of Siyuan Restaurant, and you will answer below." ”

Fu Qingyun said: "I'll go with you, so I can take care of it." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, and the four of them went to the exit of Siyuan Restaurant together. When he arrived at the position, Liu Xuan pointed to a thick bluestone slab on the top and said, "This is it." ”

Fu Qingyun looked up and saw an arm-thick iron chain tied to the bluestone slab hole, and the other end was tightly tied to the stone hole in the cave wall. If the inner chain is not untied, the bluestone slab cannot be opened outside.

Fu Qingyun went up to listen quietly, and after a while, he turned back to signal safety, so he untied the iron chain, and together with Liu Xuan, he pushed the bluestone slab open and poked his head out.

It was dark outside, and it was late at night. Siyuan Restaurant is located in a small alley, and people on both sides of the alley have fallen asleep. In the distance, there were still officers and soldiers armed with torches patrolling everywhere, and many people in the city spontaneously organized themselves to join the search team.

Liu Xuan and Fu Qingyun climbed out of the secret passage and covered the bluestone slab again, while Chu Wenjing and Lin Zhengjun were waiting below.

Fu Qingyun took a look, and there were bluestone paved roads around here, and the exit of the secret passage was in an inconspicuous place in the corner of Siyuan Restaurant, which was no different from the surrounding bluestone slabs.

There was a vigil at the restaurant at night, and the two crept closer. Fu Qingyun gathered his ears, listened intently for a moment, gestured to Liu Xuan, and the two of them touched the side of the restaurant.

"I'll go up first!" Fu Qingyun pointed to a small balcony on the second floor of the restaurant, jumped lightly, and when he reached the upper floor, he put down a rope after a while, and Liu Xuan also took advantage of his strength to go up to the second floor.

The balcony on the second floor is almost a zhang high, and Liu Jiu's light skills are not good, so he can't jump up directly.

The two of them touched the second floor to the first floor lightly like thieves. Fu Qingyun listened intently for a moment, avoided the shopkeeper who was keeping vigil, and took Liu Xuan to the kitchen of the restaurant.

Although there was no light in the house, Fu Qingyun was successful in "watching lotus", and his eyesight was excellent, so he took Liu Jiu to turn left and right and found the kitchen.

As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I smelled the smell of fragrant white flour steamed buns. The two were overjoyed, lightly unveiled the steamer, first stuffed a large steamed bun into their mouths, and gently beat their chests while eating, almost choking to death.

A steamed bun went down to the stomach, and it was smooth, and the two of them covered their mouths and laughed dumbly, full of thief appearance.

The two of them put a steamed bun in their mouths, took the curtain on the table, and wrapped a total of three steamed buns. Just as he was about to leave, Fu Qingyun sniffed, and reached out to uncover a small clay pot, which was filled with a small pot of cooked sausages, which should be ready to entertain guests the next day.

The two were overjoyed, one carried a small clay pot, and the other carried a steamed bun wrapped in a curtain, and quietly touched the second floor again.

"Wait!" Just as he was about to jump off the balcony on the second floor, a team of people turned from the street with torches, and Fu Qingyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

The two of them quickly shrank into the room connected to the balcony and looked out nervously.

The group of men and horses armed with torches, officers and soldiers, and the people of the city who spontaneously organized, first searched the alley, and then knocked on the door and searched again from house to house, and then exited the alley.

"Brother, we'll go back first, and we won't go with you. A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears said to the head of an officer.

The officer nodded and said, "Uncle and brother, you go back first, and I'll search again." ”

Liu Xuanding took a closer look and saw two people standing downstairs, it was the owner of the restaurant Chen who met on the third floor of Siyuan Restaurant when he first entered Nanyang City, and his uncle Lai, one with a fat head and big ears, and the other with a thin body.

Chen and Lai stood downstairs talking, the two of them were huddled in the room and were secretly anxious, but they didn't dare to show up.

"Hey, it is said that Liu Xuanyi is thin and cloudy, benevolent and virtuous, but I didn't expect it to be such a brutal bandit. Boss Chen sighed.

Lai lowered his voice and said: "So rumors are just rumors after all, this tragedy has made everyone see the nature of Liu Xuan's thief." Otherwise, everyone will be passive and sluggish, and even cooperate with the outside and the outside, so that the thieves can win Nanyang City, and the people of the whole city will suffer. ”

Boss Chen sighed: "Although the Fei family has done a lot of evil, more than a dozen people in the door, plus more than 100 domestic slaves and maids have been burned alive, and Liu Xuan's house is too frustrated. ”

Liu Xuan and Fu Qingyun were speechless at each other, but they didn't expect that Lin Zhengjun's evil deeds were all counted on Liu Jiu's head, and the hard-won popular support disappeared in an instant, and the momentum of the people's expectations turned against the people in a blink of an eye.

Liu Xuan clenched his fists and was silent.

Lai continued: "Tomorrow, all the sons and daughters of the clan will be mobilized to help the officers and soldiers search together, and we must catch that big Kou." The bandits have lost their backbone and are unable to move north, so that the people of Nanyang have hope of survival. ”

"Okay, we'll meet here early tomorrow morning. Boss Chen nodded and said, "Uncle, you should go back and rest early." ”

Lai nodded, and the two waved their hands and walked to one side.

Hearing that Boss Chen opened the door of Siyuan Restaurant and slowly climbed upstairs, and Lai's also turned out of the alley, Fu Qingyun beckoned, and hurriedly jumped off the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant.

Back in the secret passage, Fu Qingyun took out the steamed sausage, and the four of them began to gobble it up.

Seeing that Liu Xuan was preoccupied, sighed, and looked like a hero with a short breath, Chu Wenjing asked, "Qingyun, how is the situation outside?"

Fu Qingyun shook his head and sighed: "This time it's a big trouble, the people and officers and soldiers of the whole city are looking for us, and it seems that they will not give up if they don't catch us." ”

Chu Wenjing said: "Fei Wang's whole family was killed, and the people of Nanyang must have counted this account on Brother Liu Xuan's head." ”

Fu Qingyun nodded and said: "The eldest brother is the leader of the rebel army, and the people are worried that he will bloody Nanyang like Fei Wang in the future, so the same enemy must catch us." ”

Lin Zhengjun said nothing with a gloomy face, and he couldn't hold back anymore at this time, so he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "If you have something to say, just say it, why beat around the bush! I killed Fei Wang's whole family to avenge my father, shouldn't I!"

Liu Xuan said angrily: "Are you taking revenge, you are mad! If your father knows about it, I'm afraid he won't be able to rest in peace!"

"Liu Xuan......, you are too much. Lin Zhengjun pointed at Liu Xuan's nose and said angrily: "I know that you look down on me everywhere, you scold me, I admit it! But you curse my dead father, it's too hateful!"

Fu Qingyun hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, now that the matter has come to this, let's find a way to get out of the city first." ”

Liu Xuan knew that his words were a little heavy, and sighed: "Zhengjun, you are only two years younger than Qingyun, but you ...... , when can you be like Qingyun, don't be rash and do things in a measured way. ”

Lin Zhengjun took a bite of the steamed bun fiercely, and did not speak.
