The last three kingdoms

Chapter 80 The Secret Way
A gleam of joy appeared on Hu Ji's face, and he said hastily: "What clever plan does Liu Youcheng have, you might as well speak up."

Liu Yin said: "My Majesty originally set up a secret sentry outside the Dudu's Mansion. According to the report from the secret sentry, no one entered or exited the Dudu's Mansion tonight, which means that the person who stole the map did not leave the Dudu's Mansion. Dudu Hu only needs to strengthen the gate of the Dudu's mansion." The guards and a thorough search in the mansion, there must be nowhere to hide the details of the stolen pictures."

As soon as the eavesdropper hadn't left the Dudu's mansion, Hu Ji rekindled hope, his face was full of excitement, his right hand clenched tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The Chinese army issued an order to seal the gate of the mansion and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the Dudu's mansion." Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find this thief for me!"

The people in the entire Dudu Mansion were mobilized, those who guarded the gate guarded the gate, those who guarded the courtyard wall guarded the courtyard wall, and the soldiers under the command of Hu Xia searched them wantonly. Every house was never spared, and they were searched door to door one by one.

If someone came in and saw this scene now, they would definitely think that Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, had committed the crime of exterminating his family and ransacking his house, and the entire Hanzhong governor's mansion was in chaos.

"Report to the governor, a secret passage was found in the stables of the east courtyard." Hu Xia came to report with a pale face.

"Secret way?" Hu Ji was at a loss. There was a secret way in the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion, and he, the governor, didn't know about it at all. Hu Ji's face darkened in an instant, and his heart sank.

"Liu Youcheng, let's go and have a look."

Liu Yin was also secretly surprised. If there is a secret passage in the Dudu Mansion, it means that the person who stole the picture has already escaped.

Soon they came to the stables in the east courtyard. The stables were not small, and there were at least dozens of horses, and Hu Ji's mount was among them.The entrance of the secret passage is behind the tall haystacks. The soldiers who were ordered to search just now checked very carefully and removed the haystacks, only to find that there is a secret passage with a radius of three feet behind the haystacks. , if the search is not careful, it is basically difficult to find something strange here.

The hole is deep and dark, and I don't know where it leads.

Hu Ji's expression was ugly. The Hanzhong Governor's Mansion was his mansion and official office. He entered and exited in a stately manner. Why did he need to dig any secret passages? The only possibility was that Wei's spies dug them up secretly. Damn it!

Only then did Liu Yin understand, no wonder the secret sentry from the Lieutenant's Mansion outside reported that no one entered or left the Dudu's Mansion tonight. It turned out that the person who stole the picture sneaked in through a secret passage, so naturally he was not discovered by the secret sentry.The person who stole the map entered the Dudu Mansion through a secret passage, assassinated the guard in the secret room, stole the Hanzhong defense map, and then retreated calmly through the secret passage.

But what Liu Yin wondered was, when was this secret passage excavated?If the Wei State spies decided to steal the defense map before digging, obviously there is not enough time. From the stables of the Governor's Mansion to the outside of the mansion, you have to cross a high wall and a relatively wide street, at least three or four hundred It is obviously impossible to complete such a long tunnel within a few days. What's more, the Lieutenant's Mansion has deployed a large number of secret sentries around the Dudu's Mansion. If someone really tries to dig a tunnel to enter the Dudu's Mansion, it is impossible. undetected by them.

The only possibility is that this secret passage has been successfully excavated a long time ago, and even Wei Guo's spies have been using it secretly all the time, but the people in the Hanzhong Dudu's Mansion are unaware. , this secret path is likely to remain hidden forever.

The existence of the secret passage made the large-scale search of the Dudu Mansion futile. Hu Ji's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand weakly, ordering to stop the meaningless search.

Everyone gathered around the entrance of the secret passage, looking at the dark and bottomless passage, speculating where the secret passage leads to, but the secret passage is dark and deep, and no one dared to go down to find out.

Liu Yin glanced at A Jian behind him, and A Jian immediately understood, pulled out the saber with a swipe, held the saber in his right hand, and held a torch in his left, jumped down, and walked forward along the secret path without hesitation. .

Hu Ji's face flushed slightly. Anyway, he was also a person who came here on the battlefield. He didn't expect that so many soldiers who had experienced battlefield experience were not as good as a guard next to Lieutenant You Cheng. He immediately ordered a few strong men and followed him A Jian entered the secret passage behind him.

The secret passage was not too spacious, and could only be bent down for one person to pass through. Fortunately, there were no traps or other arrangements in the secret passage. Ah Jian walked hundreds of steps, and soon came to the exit.

There is a grocery store at the exit, which is next to the inn where Liu Yin stayed just now, but the grocery store is already empty at the moment. Obviously, this grocery store is a secret contact point of Wei Guo's spies, and the blue bird has already succeeded in stealing the defense map. The grocery store is already exposed, and there is no need for it to exist.

After Liu Yin heard the news, he clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it into the palm of his left hand.This blue bird, under his nose, succeeded again. The last time it was to assassinate the black shark. This time it was to steal the defense map. Every time it passed by Liu Yin, it was close at hand, but it was far away. And, Liu Yin couldn't help sighing.

Escaping from the governor's mansion means that the blue bird is now flying freely in the sea and sky, and it will never be an easy task to catch him.

"Captain, are you ordering the entire city of Nanzheng City to be under martial law and conduct a comprehensive search?" Hu Xia cautiously suggested to Hu Ji.

Hu Ji remained silent, and cast a questioning look at Liu Yin.

Liu Yin shook his head lightly. It was the middle of the night, and the four gates of Nanzheng City were closed, but for a master like Qingniao, it was not difficult to get out of the city. The defense map was stolen around the middle of the night. Liu Yin got the news It's already the fourth watch, after all this tossing, the sky is already slightly bright at this time, and the fifth watch has passed, and it has been more than two hours since the defense map was lost, and two hours is enough for the blue bird to calmly evacuated.

"The person who stole the picture has a unique skill. It is impossible for Nanzheng's city walls to stop him. The only hope now is that he is still stranded in Hanzhong. As long as all the valley road checkpoints in Hanzhong are blocked, he can be stopped in a short time. The map thief sent the defense map to Guanzhong."

Hu Ji thought about it, too. Fortunately, there are checkpoints at every intersection from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Even if Wei Guo's spies succeed in stealing, it is still difficult to pass the defense map to Guanzhong through the checkpoints in a short time.Hu Ji immediately ordered to send cavalry out of the city immediately, and issued orders to all checkpoints, all checkpoints were closed, and all pedestrians and merchants were prohibited from passing.
