Chapter 261
Li Chongjiu punched Dugu Xiude on the bridge of the nose, there was only a click, and the sound of the other's nose bone breaking could be clearly heard.Dugu Xiude sat heavily in the mud beside the road, two streams of blood popped out of his nose, and he fainted as soon as he fell.

This time, he was really caught off guard, not only Dugu Xiude, but even a few soldiers didn't react.Li Chongjiu glanced to the left and right, took the opportunity to draw the knife from Dugu Xiude's waist, and slashed with his backhand, sending the spear behind him flying.Seeing Li Chongjiu's resistance, more than a dozen soldiers from the left and right rushed forward.

Li Chongjiu knew the truth that two fists were no match for four hands, so he didn't dare to fight at the moment, he danced a saber to force the soldiers to retreat, cut a bloody path, and ran wildly along the street.

There are earth-yellow rammed earth square walls on the left and right, and soldiers guard the gate of the square. Li Chongjiu holds a knife and looks left and right, while running on the street of the later imperial capital, while behind him is a trail of soldiers chasing.

At this time, the city gate had already struck eighteen bells, and Li Chongjiu knew that the city gate was closed tightly, while the sound of horseshoes ticking on the street ahead.When Li Chongjiu heard the sound of horseshoes, he knew that it was the guards patrolling the city.If you give the patrolling iron rider a block in front of the street, it can be said that you can't escape.

"stop!"

"Stop for me!"

A dozen soldiers of Dugu Xiude shouted loudly behind his head, and the distance was less than 20 steps away.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu simply turned his heart to the side, seeing that the rammed wall beside him was somewhat damaged, so he simply dug the rammed earth wall outside the knife.I don't know if it was Dugu Xiude's saber that cut the iron like mud, or the earth wall has become soft after years. Li Chongjiu dug a lump of earth on this rammed earth wall that should be hard.Li Chongjiu stabbed again vigorously, and simply inserted the knife half an inch into the wall.

Afterwards, Li Chongjiu took a few steps back, climbed up from the handle of the knife with a run-up, and climbed on the rammed earth wall more than ten feet like a big bird.The pursuers behind and the patrolling riders in the city were stunned when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe that someone could jump so high. They could only watch Li Chongjiu climb over the square wall with eyes.

Li Chongjiu climbed into the wall of the square, heaved a sigh of relief, and then heard someone shouting from a wall away, how did this thief climb such a high wall.

What is He Laodao yelling, mother, let's kill people from the square gate, and search people out from house to house.

Li Chongjiu shook his head immediately, he just escaped the pursuers for a while, but it didn't mean he was safe.Each of the eighteen workshops in Youzhou is a square cage, and you cannot escape if you are inside the workshop.Although Li Chongjiu is now taken by Dugu Xiude, if he is regarded as the king of Qi and killed by the Dugu Clan, it will be called a great injustice.

At that time, he could only expose his current identity to protect himself. Now that Xue Shixiong is eager to go south, he would never dare to catch fire in the backyard, so he did not dare to embarrass himself because of his own power.

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, looked up and looked inside the walls of the square, there are many houses, hundreds of courtyards, and the houses are separated by horse-head walls, all of which are blue bricks and tiles, and there is a bit of Jiangnan scenery .

Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered that this Mingyue Tower seemed to be in the workshop too. With his current status, Li Chongjiu thought that if he rashly hid in a residential house or an inn, he would be searched out. Only brothels like Mingyue Tower can accommodate him. .This Mingyue Building is a high-level social place for dignitaries in Jicheng, if they hide in it, ordinary soldiers would never dare to search it.

Li Chongjiu had to hide for the night first, and then contact Lin Dangfeng who was in the city, and let him find a way to get him out of the city.Anyway, among the [-] soldiers in Zhuo County, many generals have been bought by Lin Dangfeng, but it is not difficult to get out of the city with his help.But the most urgent task at the moment is to avoid the current pursuers first.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu's heart sank, and he touched his pocket, at least he still had half a penny.At that moment, Li Chongjiu hid in a deserted alley, took off his coat and put it on inside out, messed up the bun on his head, tied it up again, changed his appearance, identified the path, and hurriedly headed towards Mingyue Tower.

After walking for a while, when he was about to reach Mingyue Tower, Li Chongjiu suddenly saw a dozen or so Sui soldiers in khaki military uniforms, together with several security chiefs and village chiefs, knocking on doors with guns. The head of the security and the head of the village identified people to search.

Li Chongjiu secretly thought that it was not good, and saw that the back door of a compound on the left was not bolted, so he couldn't care less immediately, and plunged into the compound.

The compound was deserted, and there seemed to be no one there.Li Chongjiu was very happy at the moment. It would be better if there was no one. He looked up at the three-story building of Mingyue Building, which was only a dozen steps away. It turned out that this courtyard and Mingyue Building were originally one.

Li Chongjiu got into the backyard and inspected it carefully. There is a pool in the backyard. Beside the pool is a small building with a gable top, and there are paths on each side leading to the wing rooms.Li Chongjiu thought that there is such a quiet place in the noisy place next to the Mingyue Tower, which is quite wonderful to hide in the city.But thinking about it this way, it should be the residence of the prostitutes in the Mingyue Tower, so it is better, no one should come here to search.
Li Chongjiu looked around, and immediately saw a house full of firewood.Li Chongjiu didn't say a word, his heart was in Pingyang, and he couldn't choose a house, so he quietly crossed the small bridge over the pool and entered the firewood house.

After that, I entered a place near the wall, filled the left and right sides with firewood, covered it tightly, and then hid in it, listening to the movement with my ears up.After hiding for a while, Li Chongjiu could hear the violent noise of men outside the courtyard, but the courtyard was very quiet.

Li Chongjiu calmed down a little, leaning against the wall, holding the knife in his hand, squinting his eyes, and fell asleep hastily.

The next day at dawn, a woman came to move the firewood. The woman muttered, "Those new actors, it's true, they don't let people sleep early in the morning." She carried two balls of firewood and left.

Li Chongjiu thought that he couldn't stay here for long, so he got up and followed the woman out.Li Chongjiu supported the wall and walked for a while, when he heard someone shouting from a distance: "Hey, that kid, what are you doing?"

Li Chongjiu's heart trembled, and he said immediately: "I'm a new actor, I don't know the way."

The man laughed and said, "You idiot, turn left when you leave Changyuan. They all said that our Mingyue Building is so big, so don't wander around if you don't know the way."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "No way, diarrhea."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu followed what the other party said, and entered a courtyard. There was a row of wing rooms beside the garden, and a few women from Qingfang, who got up early, were sitting alone by the fence, or playing and chatting. The sound came faintly.

Li Chongjiu walked through the stone road, and after going around to the wing room, he saw that when he came out of the tile-roofed room, there were a lot of girls sitting with their heads tied in the horns, listening to the violinist playing the piano seriously.Just now I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, which was played by the qin master.

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu sighed lightly.

"Brother Li?"

Li Chongjiu was startled when he heard the clear voice, and when he turned his head, he saw Qu Yanran standing there quietly holding a pipa at the other end of the corridor.The slender figure against the pipa is like a faint ink painting, and a smile bursts on the face of the other party in an instant.

"Brother Li, why did you sigh just now?" Qu Yanran didn't ask Li Chongjiu first.
