Chapter 391: The Dark Path
Seeing the shacks being demolished to the ground in front of him, and strings of shanty town residents were pulled out with ropes, Gou Jing's somewhat extravagant back straightened a little. This time, I saw that you could still escape. ([] ) The fireworks that just flew out of the shanty town did not surprise or worry him, but were even more excited, because these things would only make him more sure that the person he was looking for was here, what did the four blood-red peonies represent?
"Continue to move forward, Gou Huan, sends a darkroom execution team to sneak in first, and launches an attack on the location where the signal has just been sent. It is best to force these people out."
"I understand the general manager!" A middle-aged eunuch came out.
The fire in the city became bigger and bigger. Gou Jing turned his head to look at the city area that was as bright as daylight, snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at the slums with interest.
A cavalry rushed over and walked to a general next to Gou Jing, whispered a few words. The general glanced at Gou Jing, nodded, and waved his hand to signal him to go down.
"What's the matter?" Gou Jing asked dissatisfied.
"Return to the Chief Executive Officer." The general bowed respectfully and said: "The fire in the city is too big, the water dragon team has too few people, so it is impossible to control it. Now even the treasury is on fire. Lord Yang is anxious to get angry and ordered me to lead my troops back to put out the fire immediately."
"No!" Gou Jing refused and looked at the general, "General Lou Xiang, compared to the criminals we want to capture, how much property can this fire burn and how many untouchables can it be? Before the criminals are caught, no soldier can retreat."
Lou Xiang looked at Lou Jing with some embarrassment. Thinking about the other party's identity, he could only nod, "Then, Master Manager, can you push the speed faster? Your master has already entered a group of experts. In this way, I will also send a group of elite soldiers in, and maybe the opponent will appear."
Gou Jing nodded.
In Luzhou City, Lian Zhongwen frowned deeply as he listened to his subordinates' reports, "Send a group of people to directly attack the prefecture."
"yes!"
A dozen subordinates turned around and left.
"Remember, don't do it really, but you have to make that Yang Zhizhou feel threatened. He has no staff in his mansion now. Apart from a few personal soldiers, scare him and retreat immediately."
"Understood!"
Watching his subordinates leave, Lian Zhongwen turned to look at the direction of the slums, with an anxious look on his face. Now that area is surrounded and there is no way to break in.
Following the messy miscellaneous things and paths, Xiongkuohai led everyone around and turned toward the depths of the slums. At this time, countless poor people were already startled, screaming, crying and running around. The group of them were mixed with them, not conspicuous at all.
"How far is it?" Guo Feng looked at Xiong Kuohai who was rushing forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Not far away, right in front!" Xiong Kuohai turned his head and replied.
A little further ahead, Xiongkuohai stopped, "Here!"
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone looked at each other.
"Just here?"
"It's here!" Xiong Kuohai nodded affirmatively.
In front of them was a pool, which was a bit stingy. Under the fire, you can clearly see that the water in this pool was completely black, and a foul smell came to your nose. On the water surface, all kinds of debris floated on it. What was even more terrifying was that all kinds of yellow and white things floated in it.
"What is this?" Li Xiao couldn't help asking.
Xiong Kuohai looked at everyone and said, "All the dirt in this place finally flowed here."
Everyone immediately understood what this place was.
"Where are you talking about the secret?" Guo Feng asked anxiously.
"It's inside!" Xiongkuohai pointed to one side of the water. "There is a channel there, and the sewage here can flow along this channel to the moat."
Guo Feng strode towards the direction pointed by Xiongkuohai, which was filled with a lot of debris. He moved the wooden boards, garbage and other various dirts covered on it. A dark channel appeared in front of everyone, and most of the channel was submerged in sewage.
Guo Feng made a gesture, and a staff member of the ranks took a big step forward without hesitation, jumped into the sewage, and walked towards the channel, which flooded his neck. Seeing him disappearing into the channel, Guo Feng stared at the canal with a nervous expression. If he didn't look for the way in advance, if he was cheated by this big man, it would have become a joke.
Nian Yun walked up and looked at Guo Feng, "It's too late to go, we must leave right away."
"Madam, if you don't explore the road, what if the road is blocked?" Guo Feng hesitated.
Nianyun turned to look at Xiongkuohai.
Yukiokai said: "I grew up in this place. It turned out to be a big bun, but later it was slowly occupied, and only this piece was left. I often came to play with this channel when I was a child. This channel must lead to the moat."
Nian Yun turned his head resolutely, "I believe him, let's go!"
Guo Feng paused, "Okay, my wife believes in him, and I believe in him too. Let's go, big man, you can lead the way."
Xiong Kuohai shook his head, "I won't go, you let my mother go, let's leave."
A strange color flashed in Guo Feng's eyes and he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, let's leave."
Nian Yun glanced at Guo Feng and said to Xiong Kuokai: "Brother Xiong, I'm going to tell you that we are the important figures that the emperor wants to capture today. After staying in this place for so long, you have always taken good care of us and have close contacts. Many people know that if you stay here, you may not be able to escape the pursuit afterwards. With the cruelty of those people, you and your mother will not be able to escape the evil hands. Listen to me and follow us!"
Knowing that Nian Yun had guessed his intentions, Guo Feng smiled and said, "Madam is right. Big man, if you don't follow us, you will be afraid that you will die." There are two meanings in this sentence. Nian Yun said one, but what he said was that if Xiong Kuohai didn't leave, he would have to die now. He could not leave a living person who knew this channel here for Gou Jing.
"I'm fine, but my mother is old." Xiong Kuohai looked at Geng Chong's mother on his back.
"There are many people here who can take turns carrying your mother on their backs." Before Guo Feng could speak, Nian Yun said straightforwardly: "Brother Xiong, take him away, let's go."
Xiongkuohai looked back at the fires in the city, then looked at the shanty town that had been flattened in the distance, and finally gritted his teeth and jumped into the sewage.
"Zhang Lihua, madam is short, you carry your wife on your back!" Guo Feng said.
"Yes." Zhang Lihua walked to Nian Yun and followed, "Madam, I will carry you!"
Nian Yun nodded and said to Li Xiao, "Fourth Master, walk in front of me!"
Seeing everyone disappearing into the channels one by one, Guo Feng turned around and said to the two behind him: "You two stay here, eliminate the traces here, hide the channels, try to restore them as they are, and then break through on their own. After breaking through, you don't have to look for us, just go back to Yizhou."
The two left behind were naturally a life-and-death plan, and it was hard to say whether they could break through. But the two nodded without hesitation, "I understand, general."
Guo Feng jumped into the sewage, turned around, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face, "If you can't go back, I will definitely take good care of your family, don't worry!"
"Thank you, General!" The two of them clasped their fists together.
Seeing everyone disappearing into the channel, the two quickly began to eliminate traces and piled up a lot of dirt, garbage, wooden boards, rotten trees on the entrance of the channel. After examining it repeatedly, it was confirmed that there were no flaws and the two disappeared into the messy shanty town.
The fire in the city became increasingly big, and Lou Xiang was a little restless. Looking at Gou Jing next to him, he could only forcefully suppress his uneasiness.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly went from far to near. Before the horse could stop, a soldier had already jumped down and ran quickly to Lou Xiang, "General Lou, the prefecture was attacked by the enemy."
"What did you say?" Lou Xiang jumped up suddenly. "How is Mr. Yang?"
"I was slightly injured, but fortunately the guards fought to save them to escape the danger. Lord Yang asked the villain to tell General Lou that if General Lou did not lead the army back, went to the city to put out the fire and search for the enemy, then from now on, you will not be the general of Luzhou Town."
Lou Xiang turned his head and said, "Sir, Sorry, I have to go back."
Gou Jing said angrily: "This is all the enemy's conspiracy. It is to transfer you away. General Lou, you are the one who leads the army. Can't you see this surround Wei and save Zhao?"
Lou Xiang smiled wryly and said, "I understand naturally, but now even Lord Yang is injured. If I don't go back, I'm afraid my head will be hung on the city gate tower tomorrow. Besides, the fire in the city is so big that it burns the treasury and the school, and there are too many casualties. Lord Yang and I can't afford to be guilty!"
Gou Jing said gloomyly: "General Lou, are you afraid that Lord Yang wants your head, so why don't you be afraid of me? Can't I hang your head on the city gate building?"
Lou Xiang smiled in his heart and thought to himself that you are really not good. Yang Hongfa was from the chief assistant Cao Yi. He has a family relationship with the chief assistant. He is also a member of the Cao family. You are a eunuch, even if you have some power, I am afraid I can't do it.
"Sir, I am naturally afraid, but compared to catching these criminals, I think the countless people in Luzhou City are heavier, so I say goodbye!" He turned around and was about to leave.
"General Lou!" Gou Jing screamed, "You..."
Lou Xiang turned around and looked at Gou Jing's distorted face. He couldn't help but feel a sudden blow. He would rather offend a gentleman than offend villains. These eunuchs are all perverts. They should give him some face. "Master General, I will leave you a thousand people. I must take away the remaining two thousand people, otherwise I can't afford to blame him. You must also know that Mr. Yang has a different relationship with the Chief Auxiliary."
Gou Jing gasped heavily and looked at Lou Xiang, his face slowly calmed down. He could not offend this person at the moment, otherwise there would be no more than a thousand people. "So, thank you General Lou!"
Lou Xiang nodded, turned around and strode away. After a while, two thousand soldiers in the town quickly left the area under the command of Lou Xiang.
With a thousand people, it was impossible to encircle this place again. Lian Zhongwen finally found an opportunity and brought his people in.
