Uncle Liu looked towards the capital in the south and shook his head: "Maybe that old thief will really do this, but judging from the time, he probably was stopped by someone!"
"Sima Ning of the left camp? Or the garrison with a single flag?"
"Old thief Qu can't mobilize the garrison. The only one we can count on is Zuo Yingsi! If my guess is correct, it should be General Ma who stops the old thief." Liu Bo analyzed.
Xu Maocai nodded in agreement and sighed: "It's really hard for General Ma to get involved at such an old age..."
Uncle Liu didn't say anything anymore. He actually understood the thoughts of these old people. If they didn't protect the old Duke's children, how could they have the face to meet the old Duke!
…
As time passed, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In these three days, Xu Que visited the entire capital, including Piaoxiang Tower and Fengyue Tower during the day, Baihua Tower and Xifeng Tower at night...
The number of secret sentries following Xu Que also changed from a dozen to a few. It wasn't that they didn't want to follow, but that Xu Que really didn't deserve to be a human being!
The people following him outside could only watch as he enjoyed his romantic life. Who could bear this?
Xu Que held Ning Yunshang in his arms, enjoying the singing and dancing while teasing the beauty in his arms.
"The carriage was prepared two days ago, and changes have been made according to your request." Ning Yunshang pretended to be shy and whispered into Xu Que's ear.
Xu Que nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass and drank heavily. It looked like he was drinking, but in fact the glass was just cold tea soup.
"Let people start taking action tomorrow. Remember, the more people you can involve, the better. Keep them busy!"
"Okay, when will you leave?" Ning Yunshang asked.
"Secret!" Xu Que pretended to be mysterious, picked up Ning Yunshang and walked towards the room.
Seeing this dandy boy trying to act like a monster again, the dressed-up women and others were frightened, but they became numb afterward...
In fact, they were very curious. Although the beauty was right in front of them, why did Mr. Xu refuse to bite her?
They also asked Yun Shang privately if she was interested, but Yun Shang's answer was: "If she can serve the young master, her death will be worth it..."
Before dawn, a figure cautiously left Yun Shang's boudoir. He quietly came to the backyard of Baihua Building, got into a carriage casually, and left Baihua Building.
The people who were following them woke up instantly after seeing four identical carriages. They nodded to confirm each other, with bloodthirsty smiles on their faces.
"This kid finally can't hold it in any longer!"
"Yes, once we kill this guy, we can return to the original poster."
As the news spread back to Mingde Tower, the owner of the building, Bai Yu, also showed a ferocious smile. Although he could not kill Xu Maocai, killing one of his sons would be considered revenge!
"Go and tell the prime minister that that boy is leaving the capital. If you continue to inform him, you must know which carriage the boy is hiding in," Lou Baiyu said.
"Yes, Master!" A subordinate clasped his fists and exited.
"Xu Maocai, Xu Maocai, will you be mad to death after hearing the news?" Lou Baiyu showed a ferocious smile and clasped his fingers heavily on the table.
Lou Baiyu is his name in the world, and few people know his real name!
…
Before dawn, the Prime Minister's Mansion was already brightly lit.
"Is the news accurate?" Qu Zhongyi asked the visitor.
"Our people saw him getting into a carriage, and then four identical carriages left Baihua Building." A knight dressed as a martial artist answered with his hand.
"Okay, try to find out which carriage he is in, I will have someone ambush him in advance!" Qu Zhongyi said.
The Jianghu knight clasped his fists in salute, and then quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the others left, Qu Zhongyi said to the steward: "Go and inform the two great scholars and let them prepare to take action!"
The old housekeeper took the order and exited the main hall, then rushed in the direction of Yushan Study.
…
The gates of the inner city of the capital are opened at the quarter hour of Mao hour, and the gates of the outer city are opened at the third quarter of Mao hour.
After the four carriages separated from the two inner city gates, they drove towards the four outer city gates.
The drivers who drove the carriages had orders, and as long as they stopped halfway, they would not get a penny for the work.
If they deliver the carriage to the designated place as agreed, then each of them will have one hundred taels!
In front of this sky-high reward, the four coachmen drove the carriage and beat the horses as hard as their buttocks were on fire.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after the East Gate carriage left the city gate, it was stopped by a group of gangsters.
Although the coachman liked money, he cherished his life even more. Before these people could get close to the carriage, he threw away his whip and ran away...
"Search!" said a man with a knife.
When they opened the curtain, the carriage was empty...
Just when the man wanted to say something discouraging, his companion thought it was strange and immediately shouted: "There is something weird about this car, the bottom of the car is empty!"
As everyone looked at it carefully, these people suddenly laughed, but as soon as they took apart the wooden board, they were dumbfounded!
"Can anyone hide here?" The man holding the knife looked at his companion.
"Pry open!" The companion didn't give up and pried hard on the gap with his knife. The tip of the knife broke instantly!
"Damn it, it's made of secret iron!"
"Break it open!" The man with the knife was furious.
Several people tried their best to open the secret iron plate, but the result almost made them angry to death!
Because there is a piece of rice paper stuck in the secret iron cabinet, and the content on the paper is: "Thank you for your patronage, and keep up the good work!"
"Go, notify the other three city gates!" The man with the knife tore off the rice paper and said.
At the same time, the carriages at the north and south gates were also stopped.
After these people struggled to pry open the secret iron cabinet, they were all equally angry. It was obvious that they had been tricked!
And just when these people wanted to collude with each other, Jianghu signals appeared in Ximen Sky.
A sharp sound pierced the sky, and the bulging bamboo tube exploded in the sky, and the red smoke was extremely eye-catching.
Lou Baiyu, who received the news at the same time, had a sick flush on his face. He was so excited. The signal appeared, which meant that Ximen had discovered the target!
A large number of people from all walks of life poured into the capital again, and they rushed towards the west gate.
In the Yushan Study Hall, the two great scholars who saw the signal looked at each other and immediately flew towards the west gate.
But when these Jianghu people rushed to Ximen, the place had become a river of blood.
"Is there a master in the opponent's car?" A man dressed as a vigilante asked doubtfully.
"No matter how many there are, follow the car signs and chase!" said another man holding a knife.
Following the trace of the wheel, these people in the world immediately chased westward.
In fact, the carriage was not moving very fast, and these people in the world caught up with it in a short time.
But when they arrived at the carriage, everyone was instantly startled by the people in the carriage!
Because it’s not Xu Que inside at all, but a heroic woman!
"Everyone, why did you stop my carriage?" the woman asked as she stepped out of the carriage.
"We are from Mingde Building. We are here to capture a treasure thief on the order of the building owner. We hope this girl will let us check!" The man dressed as a knight clasped his fists and said.
"Okay, please!" The woman smiled, tapped her toes, and she was dozens of meters away in an instant.
In fact, she wanted to delay it for a while, but when she felt the two breaths in the sky, she immediately made a compromise.
After these people in the world pried open the secret iron cabinet, their faces turned livid again...
In the sky, an old man wearing a black Confucian robe said: "Let's go, we have fallen into a trap!"
The old man in purple Confucian robe nodded, glanced at the woman under the tree, and then disappeared into the sky with his companions.
The driver, who had been hiding under the tree, came to the woman and asked: "Xia Xia, I follow..."
Before the coachman could finish his words, the woman threw out a banknote to him: "You performed very well. This is for you. After the carriage is repaired, we can continue tomorrow!"
The coachman who took the banknote immediately became excited. He didn't have to do anything, just drove the car for a while and got a hundred taels!
…
Ming Tak Building
Lou Baiyu was so angry that the table in front of him was broken into pieces.
"Tell the landlord, someone just reported that Xu Que just came out of Baihua Tower and is now heading to the outer city."
"Ah~!! This is unreasonable! Xu Que, son, I will definitely kill you!" Lou Baiyu roared angrily.
Seeing this, the knowledgeable person quickly and quietly exited...
