Chapter 0245: Leaked
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Lian slowly walked over from the door, his eyes full of doubts.
Zhao Bufan's face was cloudy, and he quickly put up the note and showed her what the innkeeper had written.
Although the writing is ugly, like a ghost drawing, it can still be recognized, it reads: Lord Zhao Bufan, Wang Qing and Li Zhu came to the inn at noon, I don't know why I am sure that you are Lord Zhao Bufan, I have already laid an ambush in the town, and I plan to kill you in the dead of night tonight, the villain knows that you are a rare good official in the Great Song Dynasty, I hope you can live......
When Zhu Lian saw this information, her eyes widened instantly, and she almost screamed, but reason made her quickly calm down, and she trotted to the table in silence, and asked in a low voice, "Why? Why did Wang Qing and Li Zhu know your identity?
"That's where I'm wondering right now!"
Zhao Bufan took a deep breath, although he knew that there were people under Wang Qing's command in ambush in all directions, and they might fall into a siege at any time, but he didn't panic at all, and calmly closed his eyes: "Lian'er, what do you think will be wrong?"
"I can't think of it. Zhu Lian shook his head and said worriedly: "If you really want to talk about our identity, only Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng know, could it be them?"
Zhao Bufan still closed his eyes silently, put his right hand on the table, and tapped lightly, making a rhythmic sound.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Lian, and instead of answering the earlier question, he asked instead, "Think carefully about where we might leak our identities along the road." ”
Zhu Lian shook his head: "It's unlikely, since I left Nanhe Town, you and I have been dressed up simply, every day after washing, I have personally decorated it with disguise before going out, even if others hold your portrait, it is impossible to confirm your identity, even Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng have never seen your real appearance, how can anyone else recognize you?"
"What if it's a master who can see through the disguise technique?" Zhao Bufan asked.
Zhu Lian said angrily: "Even if he can see through you and I using the disguise technique, how can he distinguish the appearance before the disguise, it is impossible, Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng know that we used the disguise technique, but it is absolutely impossible for them to see what you and I look like after removing the makeup." ”
Zhao Bufan fell silent again, quickly recalling everything in his mind.
But in the end, nothing was found.
"In this way, our identities were either leaked before we left Nanhe Town, or Cheng Zheng or Xie Wufeng leaked, right?"
"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Zhu Lian nodded and answered: "If it was leaked before leaving Nanhe Town, it means that Wanhualou already knew that we were coming, how could it tolerate us finding here, and also caught Zhou Yuanwai to continuously investigate Huangquan Bridge and their lair?"
Zhao Bufan asked: "You mean, you are extremely suspicious of Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng?"
"Yes!" Zhu Lian gave an affirmative answer, his eyebrows furrowed. "Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility, even if we find the vicinity of Wanhualou, how can the other party know who we are? Who sent Wang Qingbao's letter, why can he be sure that you are Zhao Bufan?"
"But this can't mean that Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng betrayed me!" Zhao Bufan shook his head lightly, took a deep breath and continued: "There are too many doubts in this matter, there is no evidence to speculate indiscriminately, and we can't chill everyone's hearts, try to escape first, let's just be careful when we break through later." ”
Although Zhu Lian is a beautiful woman, she is more rational than Zheyuezhi, and she also knows how to take care of the overall situation, and she can control her emotions at critical times.
"So what do we do now?"
Zhao Bufan thought about it and said: "You go outside the door and ask the store to bring more wine, just say that we are going to have a drink tonight, and call Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng in by the way." At the moment, there must be Wang Qing's people in ambush in this inn, only in this way will they not be suspicious, but will wait for us to get even more drunk before making a move. ”
"Good!"
Zhu Lian responded, decisively got up and walked to open the door, walked to the corridor outside the door and called loudly for the man to bring wine, and then knocked on the door of Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng, and called both of them to the room in the name of drinking.
Although the two of them were confused, they quickly walked to the table and sat down.
Cheng Zheng smiled and asked, "Why is the owner interested in drinking?"
Zhao Bufan seemed to be careless, but in fact, he carefully checked the faces of the two, and really didn't find anything abnormal, and smiled leisurely at the moment: "There is no reason, it is just that I am bored, and I suddenly want to order some wine to sleep well at night." ”
Xie Wufeng is a down-to-earth man, although he doesn't talk much, but he has an upright temperament, and he smiled happily at the moment: "Okay! My subordinates have long wanted to accompany the owner of the village to have a few drinks, so much care, there is wine today and drunk today, and things will be sad tomorrow." ”
Cheng Zheng also did not doubt him, and happily followed the two of them to gossip.
After a while, the innkeeper walked into the house with two jars of wine, it was still the guy who reported earlier, his eyes were obviously a little panicked, Zhao Bufan nodded at him with a smile, and gave the other party a hint with his eyes.
The innkeeper has been sent all the year round, but he is also clever, and he really understands, knowing that he has the bottom in his heart, he put down the wine jar and left as usual.
Zhu Lian gently closed the door.
Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng then picked up the wine jar, set up the thick bowl, and were about to pour the wine, but Zhao Bufan stretched out his hand to block the mouth of the bowl, and said with a smile: "The wine can't be drunk, this is all a pretense, my identity has been exposed, and now there are Wang Qing's people in ambush in all directions, we must leave quickly." ”
Suddenly, Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng's faces changed sharply, and their bodies tensed.
Cheng Zheng lowered his voice and asked urgently: "Why is it exposed, does anyone know the owner?"
Zhao Bufan looked at the faces of the two of them, but still didn't notice anything abnormal, so he smiled and continued: "There is no point in exploring this now, let's break through and talk about it, the best way at the moment is to climb from the beam to the roof, uncover the tiles, and strive to leave from the roof, so that Wang Qing's soldiers and horses can find out as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, then I'll go find the way!"
Xie Wufeng immediately stood up, looked up for a moment, lifted his light skills and quickly climbed up to the top of the beam along the pillar, and lightly uncovered the tiles, forming a small hole.
The moonlight soon shone in from there, straight onto the table.
Zhao Bufan and Cheng Zheng also shouted loudly at the right time, pretending to be drinking, not only to cover up the sound made by Xie Wufeng when he dismantled the tiles, but also to paralyze Wang Qing's soldiers and horses lurking in the inn.
When this hole was enough for one person to enter and exit, Xie Wufeng instantly dodged out, gently fell to the roof, looked around, and made sure that there was no danger, so he lay down at the entrance of the cave and beckoned.
Zhao Bufan was very decisive and said to himself: "Lian'er, go on!"
Zhu Lian moved in response, sprinted a few steps and stepped on the pillar, and a few jumped out with him.
Immediately after, Zhao Bufan and Cheng Zheng also rushed to the roof one after another.
Standing at a high point like this, Zhao Bufan looked around carefully, and really found that there were groups of people hiding in many alleys around the inn.
Zhu Lian looked puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Strange, why didn't they make a move when we entered the town?"
"They are understaffed!" Zhao Bufan replied very affirmatively, his eyes carefully observed the surroundings, and he continued: "If you want to do it directly, then it will be difficult for them to ensure that we do not mix in with the people, and they will definitely blockade the town in all directions, so it will take thousands of people to do it, and accidental injuries are inevitable, and they will also divide their forces to suppress the chaotic people, and they will not be able to stop us if they have fewer troops, and the success rate of ambush is far higher." ”
Cheng Zheng nodded: "My subordinates also think so, I feel that the people who came over should still be elite soldiers with good martial arts." ”
"Whether it is an elite soldier or not, let's break to the east and leave as soon as possible, Wang Qing's territory can't stay any longer!" Zhao Bufan made a decision, and quickly jumped forward with light skills, like a ghost in the night, and fled directly from the roof to the east.
Zhu Lian, Cheng Zheng and Xie Wufeng were not slow, they each showed their unique skills and followed him closely.
It's a pity that no matter how good their martial arts are, it is impossible for them not to make a sound at all, and under the close surveillance of so many people, someone soon discovered their traces, and the gradually silent town quickly erupted into a roar.
"Zhao Bufan ran away!!They are on the roof!!"
"Quick!!They're heading east!!"
Suddenly, all the rebel soldiers and horses lying in ambush came out, let out noisy screams, swarming after a few black shadows on the roof, and the men and horses responsible for intercepting them at various intersections and streets also quickly gathered.
When Zhao Bufan saw the plaque at the east entrance of the town, they were already under siege.
At this time, no tricks are useless, so you can only try your best to fight a bloody way.
Xie Wufeng, who had a strong temperament, rushed to the front first, slashing left and right with his sword, and the domineering knife qi was whistling and dancing, violent and difficult, responsible for opening up the way forward.
Zhao Bufan and Zhu Lian, who were bare-handed, were on both sides of him, so that he could move forward wholeheartedly, and Cheng Zheng walked at the end, fighting and retreating, holding back more and more people in the rear.
The martial arts of the four people are unparalleled, and they cooperate with each other, which really makes the rebels under Wang Qing's command completely helpless.
Seeing that so many people couldn't stop them, Wang Qing in the crowd was so angry that he scolded: "Zhao Bufan, you dog mongrel, you chased Lao Tzu in the Daimyo Mansion back then, and later you almost killed Lao Tzu in the Jiazhuang, I don't let you taste it today, and this evil breath in my heart Wang Qing is hard to dissipate." Now you have a little prince to be a dog, it just so happens that Liu Zhongwu threatens Lao Tzu all day long, provoking so many brothers under my command to defect, I also caught you to threaten and threaten him, see how he chooses, there is a way in heaven you don't go, there is no door in hell for you to break in, even if my Wang Qing's life is not good, I want you to back!"
The messy and broken roar reached Zhao Bufan's ears, which really made his face blue, and he grabbed an iron gun with his hand, and used his own nameless marksmanship, which increased his power in the melee for a while, and no one could stop him at all.
"Wang Qing, you are gone, but you are a mad dog, you are not qualified to shout with me here, you want to keep me with your little man, it's a joke, I'm waiting to see when your head hits the ground!"
Wang Qing faintly heard this shout containing internal force, and he was so angry that he burst into smoke, and shouted angrily: "Li Zhu, stop Zhao Bufan for me!"
As he spoke, Zhao Bufan's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a sword light, and the swift figure of Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu stepped on the shoulders of many rebels and flew over.
"Zhao Bufan, the winner of the battle has not yet been decided, so it is better to make a decision today. ”
"Okay, I'll make it clear to you today!"
Zhao Bufan snorted coldly, holding the gun in his right hand, and his left hand directly hit the past with a palm, and shot with all his might, fierce and unbeatable.
"Bang!"
The sword light was directly dispersed by the palm force, and the sharp sword bent violently.
Li Zhu's face changed drastically, full of disbelief, seeing Zhao Bufan throw away the iron gun and hit the second palm, he hurriedly flew back, turned around and ran.
Cheng Zheng next to him couldn't stop laughing.
"What a gutless rat, it's very good at escaping. ”
