The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 525 Chapter 524 Liu Bei's fate (12)

During the day, Sima Yi's mansion is as quiet as at night. It used to be Cai Mao's mansion, and the surrounding area is where the Cai clan gathered. It became deserted.

Some people think that the ghosts of the Cai family are lingering and gather here, and they are often haunted at night, so no one dares to come here, and this has become a famous ghost street.

But are there really ghosts in this world?

The answer is no. Ghosts are delusional and evil thoughts in people's minds, which only exist in people's thoughts. In reality, there are no ghosts at all. Even if there are ghosts, there are ghosts in people's hearts.

The gathering place of the Cai clan was haunted by ghosts, it was people pretending to be ghosts, and this person was none other than Sima Yi.

Sima Yi secretly instigated Zhou Yuncong to pretend to be a ghost, and deliberately turned these two blocks into a ghost street. In this way, no one would dare to approach here. Sima Yi then asked Liu Qi to leave this haunted block and make it his residence. It's just convenient.

Chen Dao woke up from hunger, and walked out of the room to find something to eat. He went into the kitchen, found something to eat casually, and after filling his stomach, he went back to the room where he was hiding, ready to rest again. Rest and wait until the afternoon before he goes out to see if he can get out of the city.

When Zhou Yuncong woke up, it was already midnight, and Sima Yi didn't return all night last night, he was already used to this. Liu Qi obeyed Sima Yi's words and relied on him in every possible way, often leaving Sima Yi to stay overnight in the mansion.

It can be said that in such a large mansion, Zhou Yuncong's life is a bit monotonous, but it is very fulfilling, because he has a lot of free time to walk the streets, inquire about news, and collect information.

After Zhou Yuncong got up, he went directly to the kitchen to cook, fill his stomach first, and then go shopping in the street as usual to see if there was any new news recently.As a brocade guard lurking inside the enemy, it is his duty to inquire about news. His sources of information include but are not limited to Sima Yi. Therefore, he is even more informed about some things than Sima Yi.

These things have become a part of his life. Not long after he came to Xiangyang City, almost everyone knows that Zhou Yuncong is Sima Yi's old housekeeper. He is very easy-going and has no temper. He always likes to hang out in teahouses and wine shops, and the local people Chat a few words, talk about everything.

It was as if Zhou Yuncong had lived in Xiangyang City a long time ago, and he had completely integrated with this place.

This is Zhou Yuncong's ability, and it is also the best candidate for Zhang Yan to send Zhou Yuncong for this secret mission.Although he is a trained soldier like Xu Sheng, he does not have the force of Xu Sheng, but he has a smarter mind than Xu Sheng.Good at observing, good at disguising, good at hiding, good at blending.All in all, it's a good lurker.

When Zhou Yuncong came to the kitchen, he began to prepare for the meal, but he was careful, and soon found that there was some food missing in the kitchen, and there were some food residues falling on the ground.

Only Zhou Yuncong and Sima Yi lived here, and Sima Yi didn't come back last night, so Zhou Yuncong was the only one left in the mansion, but the food was short, and who stole it?
Is it a mouse?Or did I forget to clean the kitchen last night?But he clearly remembered that there was still a little bit of steamed bun left over from what he ate yesterday, but today there was less.

Zhou Yuncong wandered around again, but he didn't find any clues. Maybe he was exhausted these days, so that he was a little bit depressed, his memory was declining, or he was confused with what happened a few days ago.

Because since he came here, there have been mice infested here. In order to get rid of the mice, he raised a cat, and there were fewer mice after that. Maybe the cat was negligent yesterday, or it was playful, and it went to other places Go, the mouse took the opportunity to come in.

Zhou Yuncong shrugged, maybe he was too cautious, so that he developed such a suspicious habit.

In the end, Zhou Yuncong didn't let it go, he didn't know what he would come up with if he kept entangled with this issue.

After Zhou Yuncong finished cooking and had breakfast, he left the house alone and walked towards the street.

At this moment, Chen Dao was still hiding in Sima Yi's mansion, continuing to recharge his batteries, waiting to leave here in the afternoon.

At the same time, Liu Qi was still immersed in grief in the government office of Xiangyang City. Liu Cong, Liu Biao's second son, also came to the mourning hall, knelt in front of his father's coffin, and guarded his father's spirit with his elder brother Liu Qi.

Now Sima Yi alone is in charge of all matters in Jingzhou. The assassin from last night has not been caught yet, but the city is full of storms. The city gates are closed. People, anyone can't fly.If there is any accident, the defenders of the city will not fail to notice any movement.

However, the army guarding the city did not notice any movement, which also proved that the assassin was still trapped in the city.

The four generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong led the army to search from house to house in the city. catch.

But after the night passed, there was nothing to gain.

At three o'clock in the morning, Sima Yi sat in the hall of the government office, his eyes were slightly closed, and he dozed off from time to time. These days, he slept very late and woke up early every day. He wanted to have a good rest last night, but he didn't know what happened The fact that Liu Biao was assassinated made him stay up all night again, his energy was exhausted, and his body was a little overwhelmed.

Not long after, Huang Zhong came in from the outside and called out loudly: "Military division!"

Sima Yi immediately opened his eyes, saw Huang Zhong standing in front of him, and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you caught the assassin?"

Huang Zhong frowned tightly, with a serious expression on his face, shook his head, cupped his fists and said: "Mr. Qi, we have been searching from four directions, east, south, west and north. So far, almost I searched all over again, but still haven't found anything, the assassin seems to be no longer in the city..."

Sima Yi said: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The soldiers guarding the city reported in the morning that all the city gates had been strengthened last night, and even the city walls were full of people, and no suspicious person was found. It means that the assassin is still trapped in the city..."

Huang Zhongdao: "Military Master, could it be that the assassin has already left the city, but we don't know?"

Sima Yi asked: "This is also impossible. The government office is located in the center of Xiangyang City. No matter which city gate you go through, it is impossible to leave here in such a short time. The assassin must still be in the city. Maybe it was when you searched. , Is there something missing? General Huang, are you sure you searched from house to house?"

Huang Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said: "I searched from house to house, so I don't know how the other three generals are doing?"

After Sima Yi heard this, he immediately asked someone to call Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong to ask them what happened.

When Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Li Tong arrived, Sima Yi asked, "Three generals, when you carried out the search mission, did you search from house to house?"

Wei Yan and Wenpin both nodded, only Li Tong was a little hesitant, and after a while, he said: "Military Master, I have searched all other places here, only one place I didn't dare to go in and search!"

"Where?" Sima Yi asked hastily.

"It's the mansion where the military adviser lives now. It is said that there are ghosts there, and there are usually no people there. The soldiers under his command knew that this was the military adviser's mansion again, so they didn't go in and search." Li Tongdao.

After hearing this, Sima Yi frowned, and said, "Stupid! I even searched the government office, but you didn't search my residence, so you forgot to tell you. I didn't expect you to be so stupid! Doesn't matter if he has ghosts or not, the mansion I live in is very big, if the assassins are really hiding there, let alone one assassin, even a hundred or a thousand can hide there."

The more Sima Yi talked, the more angry he got, he immediately walked down and said to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong: "Four generals, please lead your troops and come with me to my mansion. Do a thorough search, and don't let go of any clues. If you find a suspicious person, immediately arrest that person, and if necessary, you can die."

"Here!"

So, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Li Tong set up soldiers and horses each, and followed Sima Yi to his mansion for the last wave of search.

At the same time, Chen Dao hid in Sima Yi's mansion. The longer he stayed, the more he felt a little dangerous. The army didn't come here yesterday. If he came today during the day, wouldn't he be a shackle?
Thinking of this, Chen Dao couldn't sit still, and immediately left Sima Yi's mansion.

As soon as Chen arrived here, Sima Yi surrounded the place with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Pin, Li Tong and others, and began to search one by one.

After Chen Dao saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little terrified. If he hadn't walked fast, then he would have been unable to escape.

Now, what Chen Dao wants most is to leave Xiangyang as soon as possible.There was a curfew at night, and the arrests last night all night, stopped this morning, and the streets resumed their usual bustle.However, the city gate is still closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

When Chen arrived at the city gate, he saw that the guards were still very tight. If he wanted to escape Xiangyang City, it was already impossible. What he can do now is to hide first, and then wait for the wind to pass before leaving the city. .
