Chapter 538 The Night Probe into the Shifu

Yao Qier brought back the news that Liu Wei and the others were not in danger, but Yao Qier could not inquire about the governor's mansion.

So Xiao Yucheng could only take a trip by himself. After discussing with Zheng Heng, he planned to act after dark.

But the curfew in Jiujiang City is indeed a trouble.Careful planning is necessary before taking action.

Now that the curfew time has been advanced from the end of You hour to the hour of You hour, he can only rush to the governor's mansion before then and find a place to hide.

In addition, you have to find out the way to retreat in advance. If you are unfortunately discovered by the city defense battalion, how can you get rid of the pursuit of the city defense battalion as quickly as possible? up.

To do this, Yao Qier and Ding He must be helped, so Ding He and Yao Qier were invited into the small courtyard where they live now for the first time.

The crowd gathered around Ding He and Yao Qier, watching Ding He draw criss-crossing lines on the ground with a branch.

"From here to the Governor's Mansion, you have to go through Qiushui Lane, then take Tongluo Street, cross Furong Street, turn right into Yong'an Lane, and the opposite of Yong'an Lane is the Governor's Mansion. You can hide in the opposite Yong'an Lane in advance. "

Ding He drew a square on it, looked up at Xiao Yucheng, saw him nodding, Ding He was very encouraged, and continued: "To find a proper way to retreat, we must first know the patrol route of the city patrol camp, so that we can avoid."

Hearing the words, Xiao Yucheng and Zheng Heng looked at each other, smiled slightly, picked up a branch calmly, and drew on the ground: "The city defense battalion has a team of ten people, and one team patrols three streets. There are three people on each street. It takes about a quarter of an hour to walk back and forth on a street, and they have to rest for a stick of incense every time they go back and forth, and our opportunity lies in this stick of incense, as long as we act fast enough and plan carefully, we should be able to come back in an hour if everything goes well."

Ding He looked at them in surprise, apparently he didn't expect Xiao Yucheng and the others who had been hiding in Tibet all day to be so familiar with the defense of the city defense battalion.

Xiao Yucheng glanced at Yao Qier calmly, his eyes instantly became deep,

He saw that Yao Qier was not surprised by this, on the contrary, there was a trace of a self-confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yucheng couldn't help asking him, "Does Yao Qier have anything else to say?"

"Sir, this method sounds too uncertain and too risky." Although Yao Qier's voice was immature, the meaning in his words was sophisticated enough.

"It's a risk, but we are in the enemy's camp and no one is available. There is really no better way." Zheng Heng nodded.

Xiao Yucheng still stared at Yao Qier, and asked softly: "If there is a better way, please speak up!"

Yao Qier stared at Xiao Yucheng with dark eyes, and the two looked at each other for a long time. Although they were speechless, they seemed to understand each other's meaning. Then he smiled at Xiao Yucheng, "I have a closer and more hidden road. You can avoid most of the city defense battalions, ensuring that the trip is safe and sound."

Xiao Yucheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, Zheng Heng was even more surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked: "Really? How much manpower and financial resources will it take to create such a shortcut in Jiujiang City!"

When Zheng Heng said this, Yao Qier lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled ashamedly, "Brother Zheng laughed, where did I get the manpower and financial resources as a beggar, but wandering around Jiujiang City these years, I accidentally discovered two places. The abandoned house, connecting these two houses, can draw a hidden path."

Xiao Yucheng showed a clear face, although he has already confirmed that this Yao Qier is not simple, there are many secrets that no one knows, this child must have intentionally approached them intentionally.

But at this moment, he seemed to be able to trust this Yao Qier temporarily, and use his power to act in Jiujiang City.

As for Yao Qier's purpose, the corner of Xiao Yucheng's mouth twitched slightly. If his purpose was really just to survive, it would be fine to leave Jiujiang and help him. The defeated soldiers died, and now the remnants of the defeated generals who have been hiding in the gutter for ten years and dare not stand up will never want to stir up trouble again.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yucheng was silent for a moment, and solemnly thanked him with fists in his hands.

Zheng Heng stood up and cupped his fists, and smiled gratefully at Yao Qier, "Thank you, little guy, I didn't expect you to have such abilities."

Yao Qier's eyes flashed, and then he backed up and waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I'm lucky too. If you want to be safe, you have to plan well."

When the sun was setting that day, Xiao Yucheng changed into a coarse cloth bunt, his hair was disheveled, and a lot of ashes were smeared on his cheeks. He looked embarrassed and funny. Zheng Heng and Ma Xingyun couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

"Sir, you need to bend your back a little bit more. How can a beggar stand tall." Yao Qier said with a smile.

Hearing the words, Xiao Yucheng thought about the appearance of those beggars on the street again, bent over again, and loosened the strength on his feet, pretending to be powerless, but when he raised his head, the people caught by his eyes unconsciously My whole body was excited.

Ding He hurriedly said: "Sir, if you don't look at your eyes, but you look very similar from the side and the back. You must lower your head and don't look up at people. Your eyes are too scary!"

Xiao Yucheng quietly walked out of the alley, but there were fewer people on the street, and even fewer pedestrians at this time.

According to Ding He's instructions, he pretended to be a beggar and rummaged on the side of the road from time to time, and then crossed to another street without anyone noticing.

He quickly came to the outside of the Governor's Mansion, walked around the outer wall of the Governor's Mansion, and then left quietly.

He hid in the alley opposite, thinking back to what he found just now, except for the gate with guards, there was only one gatekeeper at the other corner gates and side gates, and the guards were not so strict.

Xiao Yucheng felt that it was very abnormal. Looking back at the dusty house, he felt that it was like a creeping hunting beast, waiting for its prey to come to the door.

He found a slightly hidden place, hid himself in the straw stack, and waited for the night with closed eyes.

Soon, it was completely dark. After the curfew, the city defense battalion began to patrol the city as usual.

Until the bamboo clapper in the watchman's hand rang for the third time, Xiao Yucheng quietly opened his eyes, and dragged off the tattered clothes on his body, revealing the black night clothes inside.He covered his face with a veil, and looked at the opposite mansion with sharp and firm eyes. Even if there was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den on the opposite side, and a big net was laid out for him, he had to go through this.

He came to the position he had planned in advance, and turned in quietly.After landing, he breathed silently under the cover of the shadow until there was no other abnormality, and then he chose a direction to leave according to the general layout of the Governor's Mansion introduced by Yao Qier.

Although Yao Qier couldn't find out the news about the governor's mansion, the general layout of the governor's mansion is still clear. It is said that he knew a vegetable farmer who had delivered vegetables to the governor's mansion.

According to their analysis, Da Zhou and Jiujiang have not completely turned their backs, and Zheng Wei is still Da Zhou's princess after all, with the style of the Han family, he would not treat her harshly in these small matters.

Then Zheng Wei is likely to live in the guest room, and according to etiquette, the royal princess should live in the east.According to the simple and almost unrecognizable map in his memory, he walked all the way through the kitchen, bypassed the warehouse and went east to the east guest room.

But at this time the guest room was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell which room Zheng Wei was in.
