Chapter 80: Absconding All the Way
The three Azules were startled by the eager knock on the door. Li Yuan instinctively took two steps back, and drew his saber with a swipe on the ground, and Yi Qingzhuo also nervously grasped the hilt of the sword.
Azul motioned to the two not to panic too much, in his opinion, only his own people would knock on the door so eagerly, and the enemy would either break down the door or trick it open, and it would not be so direct and eager at all.
Azule made a gesture, and Li Yuan and Yi Qingzhuo put down the burden and sword in their hands, secretly guarded, and put on a very relaxed expression on their faces.
Azul calmly opened the door. The visitor wrapped himself in a large cloak, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Only Yi Qingzhuo didn't know anyone who came, but Azule and Liyuan were taken aback. The person who came was Ah Hai Yexian, and it stands to reason that the normal meeting also used the agreed password and met secretly, and today Ah Hai also came directly to the door first.
The three people in the room had different ideas in their hearts, and they were curious, and it was estimated that the other party had an urgent matter and had to skip the code to connect; Yi Qingzhuo saw that the other two did not move, and he almost decided that the person who came should be an informant on his side; Azule's intuition was very simple, Ah Hai also rushed to the door at this time, there was only one possibility, Ah Hai also first or the whereabouts of the three of them had been exposed.
Before the three people in the room came back to their senses, Ah Hai also held the hilt of the knife and looked at the only stranger, Yi Qingzhuo. Seeing this, Azul immediately replied: "It's also my own person, don't worry, if you have something to say, say it quickly." ”
"We only have half an hour left, and we must get out of the city at once, and we are exposed. Ah Hai also said hurriedly.
Azule glanced around, nodded to the other two people, and said to Ah Hai first: "I have packed my things and are preparing to evacuate, you came at the right time, let's go together." ”
The four of them each carried a simple bag, did not go through the main entrance, climbed over the wall, and did not ride a horse, and walked through the secluded alleys and alleys.
The four of them, led by Ah Hai, who was most familiar with the path, went all the way out of the west gate of the city, found the horses prepared, and headed west. After running for most of the night, the genius was bright.
All four of them were tired from running all night, but Azul still thought as he ran, and in his opinion this kind of blind escape would definitely not succeed.
Azul reined in his horse, and the horse turned from a haste to a neck and neighed loudly, and the other three stopped the horse from galloping. Yi Qingzhuo asked directly: "What's the matter, isn't the horsepower good?"
"We can't run away like this, please ask Ah Hai to talk about the basic situation exposed, and then make a comprehensive analysis before deciding whether to escape and how to escape. Azule said straight to the point.
"Okay! I'll talk about it. After returning to the inn, the envoy of Nishizawa showed symptoms of poisoning, and the engineer intuitively knew that there was something wrong with it, and thoroughly investigated it in the mansion. As a result, I inquired about the layout of the engineer's mansion and the fact that the mission rented a mortal stream through different people, and was also painted by the mission of Saizawa when he was far away, and this portrait was actually recognized by the mission of Kestrel City. My clansman, who is also a steward of the Engineer's Mansion, informed me of some of these things in advance. So I guess it's very likely that the secret will be detected, so I'll come and inform you before the engineer sends someone to Jishitang to check, I don't think it's likely that the engineer will touch Jishitang's Doctor Li, but it's still possible to find out more secrets, so I made a time difference and told you to escape first. Ah Hai also explained first.
"It seems that it has been discovered, and the three parties have discussed such an earth-shattering secret, and nothing can be allowed to go wrong, so there is no doubt that the engineer will send a large number of men to follow our tracks from all directions. The people of the engineer now have at least the portrait of Ah Hai and Liyuan, and it seems that it is extremely difficult to escape. Azul said eagerly.
"We can't just run blindly, and especially not in the direction of the Moqu Oasis to the west, where there will be heavy troops. Let's think about it another way, the entire prairie can be said to be the sphere of influence of the engineers, and if they want to chase the fleeing people in the direction of the Moqu Oasis, then we will go in the direction of Kestrel City, but we will not run away, we will chase others. Gradually Azul had a new and more secure plan.
"How is this possible? Li Yuan and Ah Hai also asked at the same time, both of them feeling very surprised.
"Qingzhuo, Ahai, you are more familiar with the grassland, do you think there are bandits or thieves' cottages in this area? Azule asked.
"Hailar, the closest Hailar to here, has a small group of bandits, about less than fifty people. Ah Hai also replied first.
"That's them, count them unlucky. My plan is this, since we want to get the secret out as soon as possible, then we can't hide in one place and not move, so we have to exterminate the bandit den in Hailar, or annex it, and then disguise ourselves as bandits and move towards Kestrel City in the name of chasing the traders. In this way, we will be able to complete the mission without implicating the Moqu Oasis and the Aritra tribe. What do you think?" said Azul excitedly.
"That's a good suggestion!" replied the other three in unison, excited at the thought of exterminating or annexing the evil bandits of the steppe, and being able to complete the task without danger.
The four of them have decided to discuss it, and Ah Hai will also lead the way first, and the other three will follow. With the martial arts of the four people, in the name of challenge, they easily killed several leaders in charge, and the remaining people who were greedy for life and afraid of death immediately became a one-sided trend. The bandits have always believed in the strong, and they soon decided to support the four of them as the new leaders.
Azul asked Ah Hai to first stick a big beard and turn into the big leader of Hailar's bandit den, while Asule, Liyuan and Yi Qingzhuo, who dressed as a man, became the small leader of the bandits.
Ah Hai, who became the big boss, also immediately announced that on the way to the cottage, he had met a group of wealthy merchants from the Central Plains, who were loaded with goods, including horses and swords that were currently in short supply in the cottage, and these rich merchants did not hire many guards.
As soon as the bandits heard what the big boss said, they had a clear eye, and they had indeed seen the high martial arts of the big and small leaders, so the impulse to make a fortune was stirred, and they all said that they would listen to the big and small leaders. Ah Hai also first arranged candidates for retention as the big leader, both those who defended the cottage and those who chased after the rich merchants, and also publicly told him not to publicize that his cottage had just changed the leader, so as not to be looked down upon by others.
A group of more than 20 people set off in a majestic manner, Azule and the other four people were already disguised, coupled with the high martial arts they showed, the bandits were also used to seeing the leaders change frequently after the competition, and the actions of tracking the rich merchants had already instigated everyone to get carried away, where to distinguish the origin and life experience of these strange leaders.
The day after the group set off, they encountered a large number of soldiers who chased them out of the city.
