Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2480 Please drink tea

Wearing neat clothes, Cao An poked his head out from the entrance of the alley, glanced at the watchtower at the entrance of the street, and found that the soldiers on the watchtower seemed to be looking at him, then retracted his neck with a squeak, and leaned against it. Standing against the wall, after waiting for a while, he sneaked another look, and waved back again and again.

   Several guards of Huandian wrapped their knives in their robes, followed Cao An and rushed out of the alley, and then disappeared under the eaves on the other side of the street.

   From Suzaku Xuanwu Street, faint cheers still came.

  Cao An resentfully looked in the direction of the sound. For some reason, he hated this kind of sound, as if it was like a magic sound pouring into his brain, it made Cao An restless.

  Cao An took a deep breath, gathered several Huandian guards under the shadow of the eaves, and said in a low voice: "Cross this alley, go straight to the Baiyi Museum!" Remember, remember, don't love to fight! After the chaos, it's time to get away and go east... Gather in the city of Tobu City! 』

  『Only! ’ Several Huandian guards replied Zancha.

Cao An checked their attire again, and realized that their heads were stained with blood, and their bodies were smeared with some dust and blood. There was nothing wrong with pretending to be the injured Huan Dian guards. Make a statement to the lord and describe your achievements in detail! 』

   Several Huandian guards looked at each other, bowed their hands to Cao An, and said, "Thank you! 』

  These guards followed Cao An to Wuguan Road to ambush, but they waited for nothing. Moreover, in the barren mountains and wild mountains outside Wuguan Road, naturally there is no good rest. After returning to Chang'an, it will take two days to rest and recuperate. It turned out that something happened to Huan Dian before their bodies recovered. .

Although from a certain point of view, Huan Dian's accident has nothing to do with these guards, but in the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, the master humiliated his ministers to death, and the guards sat down with the master's death. Once Huan Dian died, these guards were killed They were forced to a dead end, and Cao An gave them a little hope at this moment, so they naturally grasped it tightly, no matter whether this hope was a straw or not.

  And from Cao An’s plan, there are indeed not too many problems, such as pretending to be wounded and approaching the Hundred Medical Center, then raiding, setting fire, causing a riot, etc.

  Several Huandian guards gathered under the eaves, and then, as if encouraging each other, they all drank in a low voice, then left the shadow and walked outside.

   Cao An couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, he just wanted to remind, but it was too late, he could only watch these Huandian guards go towards Baiyi Hall...

  『Damn it…』 Cao An stomped his feet, 『It was all for nothing before! Scatter! Scatter...a group of white people...』

   When a group like this goes out, no matter how disguised they are, they will attract attention!

   But who can blame this?

  Huan Dian's guard is only a guard after all, and it's not like in some movies and TV shows, you can change your voice by changing your body, and the disguise is perfect...

Cao An took a few steps back, then sneaked out his head again, and looked up the sentry tower. Unsurprisingly, the soldiers on the sentry tower had noticed the strange behavior of several Huandian guards, and started dancing Flag up!

  『It’s over! 』Cao An immediately felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his face!

  Cao An took advantage of the fact that the soldiers on the sentry tower were attracted by Huan Dian's guards, so he immediately hid in the shadows, crossed the alley, and hurried towards the outside of Chang'an city!

   I can't control much anymore!

  Cao An once knew that the inspections under General Hussars usually rushed to the scene around half a stick of incense after the warning signal was issued! No more than one stick of incense at most!

   This is what Cao An hired idlers to test by deliberately fighting in the downtown area with money...

  The sentry tower soldiers are waving flags with red borders and yellow backgrounds, but they just noticed something abnormal and are reminding the surroundings to pay attention...

Now unless Cao An can kill the nearest sentry tower around, and then grab the blue flag used to indicate safety or calm the situation and wave it, otherwise wait until the sentry tower soldiers who pay attention to this side start to wave the warning flag with red background and yellow border At this time, the inspection will go in the direction of the flag shaking!

   Hussars rule the city with military law, and these inspections are also retired old soldiers. With mutual support, Cao An simply felt desperate. Especially with those few **** guards who changed positions, they must be like domestic porpoises!

The small courtyard where Huan Dian originally stayed must not be able to go, now he can only wait for the ordinary people of Suzaku Xuanwu to start to leave and mix in the crowd before leaving, so it will be relatively safer when leaving , but in the process of waiting, it is possible that the inspection will come to the door.

   Or take advantage of the guards attracting firepower and flee immediately, but now the streets and alleys are all going to Suzaku Xuanwu Street, and it is inevitable that I will attract more attention if I go out alone...

   The most important thing at the moment, Cao An must first go back to his hiding place, and bring the money and the passport and other documents.

  If you don’t have money, you can still find a way, but if you don’t have those documents, it’s like trying to escape!

  Damn, damn!

  Cao An couldn't help but start cursing those Jiangdong spies again. If those Jiangdong spies didn't do such a big thing, Chang'an would not strengthen the inspection of documents...

   With his head down, Cao An could only pretend to be nonchalant, walked through two alleys, and just turned out of the alley, he bumped into two shopkeepers who were chatting outside a shop at the corner of the street.

  Cao An recognized these two Fang Ding as the Fang Ding of Li Fang where he lived.

  Fang Ding cast his gaze over and greeted Cao An, "Yo, you're back now?" Didn't go to the celebration? 』

  『I’m going, it’s crowded...』 Cao An smiled and pretended to complain, 『I went out too early in the morning, and I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I came back first...』

  『Oh…』Fang Ding nodded, but did not continue to say anything.

  Cao An noticed that there seemed to be several men sitting in the shop. These men seemed to be resting their feet and not drinking. One of them seemed to turn his head away. Cao An quickly turned his face away and quickened his pace.

   On the Shuanma stone on the right side of Lifang, there are also two or three people sitting on the stone and chatting.

  Usually there are not so many people here...

  Cao An suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but if he turned around and left now, it would be too heavy and too deliberate, and he could only comfort himself that these people might just stop here on a temporary patrol.

   After all, today is the celebration of the Great General Hussars. Isn't it normal that there are more soldiers patrolling the streets?

  Cao An turned around and walked towards the left alley.

  A middle-aged man came out of the shop in Fangkou, raised his chin slightly, "Is this the person?" 』

  Fang Ding bent over and said with a smile: "That's him...I've long thought there was something wrong with this guy..."

  『Have you thought so? The middle-aged man sneered, "Then why didn't you report it earlier?" 』

  『This…』 Fang Ding hesitated twice, 「Isn’t this busy with the celebration, so I didn’t take care of it…」

  The middle-aged man didn't bother to pursue it, "I'll teach you a lesson. Next time you meet someone like this, report it earlier... If you report it, it's nothing to do with you. If you didn't report it... Haha, you know it yourself..."

  At this time, the person on the horse tethering stone in Lifang signaled: "Go west..."

  The middle-aged man heard this, and didn't bother to say anything to Fang Ding, so he extended his hand to greet him, and walked out of the shop with a few subordinates in ordinary clothes, "You two, go around and go to the intersection in front!" You, and you, follow up, walk slowly, don't let him find out...』

   Several subordinates responded immediately, and immediately took action.

  The middle-aged man turned around, quickly climbed up the low wall next to him, and then stood on the eaves, looking forward under the cover of the ridge.

  Some noisy voices sounded in the distance.

  Cao An's heart skipped a beat.

   That direction should be…

  Cao An controlled himself as much as possible, not looking in that direction.

  At the canal on one side of the street, two or three women were beating starch to wash clothes.

  A laborer pushed a wheelbarrow across the corner of the street.

  Two or three children were under the tree in the distance, pouted with bare buttocks, as if they were digging for ants or earthworms.

   There were a few voices of shouting and cursing from the woman in the yard next door. I don't know if they were scolding the child or the husband.

  Everything seems normal.

  Cao An quickened his pace, turned around the street, and headed for an alley on the right.

  The noise from the direction of the Hundred Medical Center became louder and louder, making Cao An unavoidably anxious. He knew very well that these Huan Dian guards could not accomplish anything, they might have been surrounded and strangled now, and he might be exposed at any time...

  Cao An walked slowly into the alley.

   This is not a place he found after he came to Chang'an, but before Cao An came to Chang'an, it was already hidden in Chang'an, and it was one of the few early strongholds.

Cao An was about to go in, when he suddenly noticed something, he turned his head suddenly, and saw two people walking one behind the other on the way he came, when he saw Cao An's gaze, it was There was a slight pause in the footsteps, and Cao An's gaze was staggered, and he continued to walk forward slowly.

  Cao An felt a sudden chill down his back!

  The blood all over his body seemed to be completely frozen...

   I am being followed!

   Of the two people following behind, one of them was the person who just sat on the horse tethering stone at the entrance of the square!

  Ordinary people may not be able to remember people they met in a blink of an eye, but Cao An can. If it weren't for this ability, Cao An wouldn't have come to Chang'an...

  Now, a very real problem is placed in front of Cao An. Is it a gamble, or is it to find a way to escape regardless of the things hidden in the stronghold? !

  Both options have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is at the moment.

  No luck!

   Originally, there were so many more people in Fangkou than usual, which already explained some problems, not to mention that Cao An can now be sure that he is being followed!

   They followed him because they didn't know where the stronghold was!

  If they already know where the stronghold is, wouldn't it be better to just sit back and wait inside the stronghold?

  Cannot go back to base!

  Cao An immediately made a decision, then suddenly quickened his pace, and burrowed into the gap between the two courtyards next to him.

Strictly speaking, this road is not a road, but a little gap left between the walls of the two courtyards, at most only the width of one side, the inside is dark and damp, and there are some scattered debris. It's all moss, greasy and smelly.

  Cao An staggered and squeezed as far as possible. The two people who were following wanted to come over, but they couldn't speed up because of the walls on both sides. As long as he could get out of this narrow gap, he could immediately go into the opposite alley, turn two turns, and then Even if these two people catch up, they can't continue to find his trace!

Seeing that Cao An had lost track, the two people following Cao An hurried forward to search, and immediately saw the figure of Cao An in the crack, and knew that Cao An had discovered the follower, so they immediately squeezed into the crack , while blowing the warning whistle...

  『Beep—』

   A sharp whistle sounded in Lifang.

  『Do it! grab it! To live! 』The expression of the middle-aged man at the entrance of Lifang changed, and he waved his hand immediately, and let his subordinates rush into Lifang.

Cao An didn't care about his face and hands being scratched by the stones in the crack. When he rushed out of the crack, he seemed to flick his hand from the side unconsciously. Ash.

It seems that because of this, Cao An's soles slipped and almost hit the brick wall opposite, but he quickly used his hands and feet and ran forward in a hurry, like a bereaved dog being chased. dog.

  But Cao An didn’t wait until he fled into another alley, when he saw other people who surrounded him rushing forward, and one of them shouted loudly, “Little thief! Hurry up and grab it! 』

  Cao An suddenly turned his head, and then saw two or three people rushing over behind him!

broken!

Although Cao An took out a short blade from his bosom to fight hard, he was not the kind of general who could fight in and out among millions of people, so he was soon surrounded, and finally saw that there was no hope of escape, so he It was a howl: "Rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!" Kill all the traitors! 』

   After shouting this sentence, Cao An suddenly turned the short blade upside down and stabbed it into his chest and abdomen!

  『Fuck! 』

  The middle-aged man who caught up from behind arrived just in time. Seeing Cao An commit suicide, he couldn't help but curse out.

  A person with a knowledge department squatted down in front of Cao An, looked at the location of the wound Cao An stabbed in with the blade, stretched out his hand to test Cao An's breath, and then shook his head at the middle-aged man.

  『Fuck! Damn it! ”The middle-aged man stomped his feet and said after a while, “Wrap your head with a cloth and carry it away!” Report back to Director Kan! 』

  …╰(‵ ′)╯…

  Fan Cong walked slowly along the flow of people with a stiff smile on his face.

  There seemed to be some voices talking about the Hussar General's military parade behind him.

  Those voices were filled with excitement, but Wang Ling felt a chill in his heart...

The Grand General Hussars held such a grand military parade. As a small official among the three assistants, of course he participated as much as possible. Fan Cong was no exception, and he was no exception. After all, Fan Cong still wanted to maintain an image of being loyal to Hussars. Therefore, I asked for leave early and said that I would attend the ceremony...

Of course, Fan Cong did not come to Chang'an to really watch the ceremony. He was also in charge of bringing new documents to Cao An, but just now, he saw the crock pot that was broken at the corner and the chalk that had dried up on the brick wall. some bloodstains. If you don't pay attention, you may think that something has accidentally rubbed past, but Fan Cong knows that this is the highest level of warning.

   So Fan Cong didn't even dare to enter the courtyard, and turned his head and left the courtyard directly.

  Cao An's death made Fan Cong feel inexplicable fear.

   This kind of fear is even more terrifying than seeing the beheading of those people in the labor camp under Tongguan...

  Fan Cong didn't understand why he had such strong emotions.

   Things hurt their kind.

  Warrior is just a martial artist, and soldiers are just soldiers, but Cao An is a descendant of a noble family, a descendant of the Cao family, and to a certain extent, he is the same kind of person in Fan Cong's consciousness.

  Cao An's death also caused more serious consequences.

  Fan Cong did not dare to go to this hidden stronghold, and it is very likely that General Hussar's people will search for it later. After all, a small courtyard that has not been visited for a long time can easily attract the attention of Fang Ding.

   What if Cao An left something that shouldn't be left in the stronghold?

Since the last Jiangdong thieves incident, General Hussars issued an edict, in order to put an end to the activities of spies and spies in Sansuke, and implemented a stricter household registration management system, whether it is a private household, a commercial firm, or The children of the gentry who came to study abroad must be re-registered with the local household registration officials, and they are often reviewed by Fang Ding, which makes it even more difficult to insert new personnel.

Because no one registered on the household registration is easy to be found, and the registration procedures are very cumbersome, and it is very troublesome to actually produce traceable documents, so it is safe to be able to truly stay in Chang'an Sanfu. These people who arrived in Chang'an early...

   And for such a person, if one dies and one is exposed, one is missing, and it is extremely difficult to be replenished.

  Cao An's death may expose more people, including Fan Cong himself.

   Must find a way to leave!

   If you stay any longer, you will die, you will definitely die!

   Can't wait any longer...

   You must find an excuse as soon as possible, and then leave Tongguan!

   Perhaps, the excuse that a relative in the family died?

   This is somewhat disrespectful to the ancestors...

  Fan Cong lowered his head, thinking, while walking forward with the flow of people.

Suddenly, the flow of people stopped, and then seemed to quiet down. Several people came to Fan Cong's side, and then grabbed Fan Cong's arm, so hard that Fan Cong felt that the bones in his arm were about to break. up.

  Fan Cong was taken aback and exclaimed, "Who are you waiting for?" ! Someone is Tongguan...』

   Kan Ze walked over slowly from the side, with a generous smile on his square face, "Tongguan official Fan, right? Did you find the wrong person? 』

  『You...』 Fan Cong wanted to struggle, but couldn't move at all, 『You guys, what do you want to do? 』

   Kan Ze smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing serious... Well, you Wensi would like to treat you to tea..."
