524 Liu Bei's fate (12)

During the day, Sima Yi's mansion, like the night, is very quiet, this was once Cai Mao's mansion, and the surrounding area is the gathering place of the Cai family, the Cai family was almost wiped out, and the two streets that were originally very lively here have become deserted.

Some people think that the ghosts of the Cai family are not gone, gather here, and are often haunted at night, so no one dares to come here, and this place has become a famous ghost street.

But are there really ghosts in this world?

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

There is a haunting phenomenon in the gathering place of the Cai family, and it is simply people pretending to be ghosts, and this person is none other than Sima Yi.

Sima Yi secretly instructed Zhou Yuncong to pretend to be a ghost, and deliberately turned these two neighborhoods into ghost streets, so that no one dared to approach here, and Sima Yi then asked Liu Qi to go down this haunted neighborhood and become his mansion, in order to act conveniently.

Chen Zhi was awakened by hunger, walked out of the room, went to look for food, he went into the room, found something to eat casually, and after filling his stomach, he returned to the room where he was hiding, ready to rest again, and in the afternoon, he went out again to see if he could get out of the city.

When Zhou Yuncong woke up, it was already early hour, and Sima Yi didn't return last night, which was already used to him for a long time, Liu Qi obeyed Sima Yi's words, relied on him in every way, and often left Sima Yi in the mansion for the night.

It can be said that Zhou Yuncong is alone in such a large mansion. Life is a bit monotonous though. But it's fulfilling. Because he has a lot of free time to go to the streets, inquire about news, and gather information.

After Zhou Yuncong got up, he went directly to the room, prepared to cook, first fill his stomach, and then went to the street as usual. Let's see what's new lately. As a brocade guard lurking inside the enemy, it is his duty to find out the news, and his sources include but are not limited to Sima Yi, so he is even more well-informed than Sima Yi in some things.

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, and he is very easy-going. He has no temper and always likes to hang out in teahouses and wine shops. Chat with the local people, all over the world, everything.

It seems that Zhou Yuncong has lived in Xiangyang City a long time ago, and has completely integrated with here.

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

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

There are only two people living here, Zhou Yuncong and Sima Yi, Sima Yi didn't come back last night, and Zhou Yuncong was the only one left in the house, but this meal was less, who stole it?

Is it a rat? Or did you forget to clean your room last night? But he clearly remembered that he still had a little bun left over from yesterday, but today it was less.

Zhou Yuncong walked around again, and never found any clues again, maybe he was so tired these days that he was a little lacking in energy, his memory was a little reduced, or he was confused with what happened a few days ago.

Because since he came here, there have been rats here, and in order to get rid of mice, he has a cat, and then there are fewer mice, maybe yesterday the cat was negligent, or it was playful, and went somewhere else, and the rats took the opportunity to come in.

Zhou Yuncong shrugged his shoulders, perhaps he was too cautious to develop such a suspicious habit.

In the end, Zhou Yuncong also gave up, if he blindly let this problem continue, he didn't know what he would come up with.

After Zhou Yuncong finished cooking and eating breakfast, he went out of the house alone and walked towards the street.

At this moment, Chen Zhi was still hiding in Sima Yi's mansion, continuing to recuperate, waiting to leave here in the afternoon.

At the same time, Liu Qi was still immersed in a deep sorrow, and Liu Biao's second son Liu Cong also came to the mourning hall, knelt in front of his father's coffin, and guarded his father's soul with his brother Liu Qi.

And the affairs of Jingzhou, big and small, are now in charge of Sima Yi alone, last night's assassin has not yet been caught, but it has been full of turmoil, the city gate is closed, three steps and a sentry, five steps and a post, the city wall is full of people, and it is difficult for anyone to fly. If there is any accident, the defenders of the city will not notice the slightest movement.

However, the defending army did not notice any movement, which proves that the Assassins were still trapped in the city.

The four generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Tong led the army to conduct a house-to-house search in the city, which had caused the city to be full of wind and rain, and the people were panicked, but everyone heard that it was to arrest the remnants of the Cai family, and they all actively cooperated with the army's arrest.

But after the night passed, there was no gain.

At three o'clock in the morning, Sima Yi sat in the hall of the mansion, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was napping from time to time, he slept very late every day these days, got up very early, and wanted to rest and rest last night, but he knew that Liu Biao was assassinated, so that he stayed awake all night again, his energy was overdrawn, and his body was a little unbearable.

Not long after, Huang Zhong walked in from outside and shouted: "Military advisor!" ”

Sima Yi immediately opened his eyes and saw Huang Zhong standing in front of him, so he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you catch the assassin? ”

Huang Zhong frowned, his face was solemn, he shook his head, and said with a fist in his fist: "Qiqi Military Division, we have searched from the four directions of east, south, west, and north, and we have been searching all night......

Sima Yi said: "Impossible! It's impossible! The soldiers defending the city came in the morning to report that all the gates had been strengthened last night, and even the city walls were full of people, and no suspicious people were found, which means that the Assassins were still trapped in the city......"

Huang Zhong said: "Military advisor, could it be that the assassin has left the city, but we don't know what to do?" ”

Sima Yi asked: "This is also impossible, the government is located in the very center of Xiangyang City, no matter which city gate you go from, it is impossible to leave here in such a short time." The Assassin must still be in the city, maybe you missed something when you searched? General Huang, are you sure they are all going door-to-door searches? ”

Huang Zhong thought about it for a while, and then said: "My side is searching from house to house, so I don't know what the situation is on the other three generals of Lu Dao?" ”

After Sima Yi heard this, he immediately asked people to call Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Tong, and wanted to ask what was going on.

When Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Tong arrived, Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Three generals, did you all conduct door-to-door searches when you carried out the search mission?" ”

Wei Yan and Wen Ping both nodded, only Li Tong hesitated slightly, and after a while, he said: "Military Division, I have searched other places here, and there is only one place that I dare not go in to search!" ”

"Where?" Sima Yi hurriedly asked.

"It's the mansion where the military advisor lives now, it is said that it is haunted, and there are usually no people, and the soldiers under him know that this is the mansion of the military advisor again, so they didn't go in to search it." Lee Channel.

After hearing this, Sima Yi frowned and said, "Confused! I even searched the mansion, and you didn't even search my mansion, so you forgot to give you an explanation, I didn't expect you to be so confused! It doesn't matter if he has a ghost or not, the mansion I live in now is very large, and if the assassin is really hiding there, let alone an assassin, even a hundred, a thousand, he can hide. ”

The more Sima Yi spoke, the more angry he became, he immediately walked down and said to Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Tong: "Four generals, please lead the soldiers and horses, come with me to my mansion, and conduct a thorough search there, and don't let go of any clues." If you find a suspicious person, you can immediately arrest that person and, if necessary, die. ”

"Whoa!"

So, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Tong each set up their troops and horses, and followed Sima Yi to his mansion to conduct the last wave of searches.

At the same time, Chen Zhi 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 during the day today, wouldn't he become a turtle in the urn?

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Zhi couldn't sit still, and immediately left Sima Yi's mansion.

As soon as Chen arrived here, Sima Yi took Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Li Tong and others to surround this place, drain the water around this place, and began to search one by one.

After Chen Zhi saw this scene, he immediately felt a little palpitating, if he hadn't gone fast, then he would have been unable to escape.

Now, what Chen Zhi wants most is to leave Xiangyang as soon as possible. There was a curfew at night, and the arrests that had been going on all night last night had stopped this morning, and the streets were once again bustling with activity. However, the gates remained closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

When Chen arrived at the city gate, he saw that the guards were still very strict, and it was impossible for him to escape from Xiangyang City, what he could do now was to hide first, and then wait for the wind to pass, and then it would not be too late to leave the city. (To be continued......)
