Chapter 286: Into the Tiger's Den
Walking through the streets and alleys, Cao Anmin soon took Cao Ang and his party to an extremely remote street, and at the end of this street, there was only a lonely courtyard.
Few people come to this place, and they are usually extremely calm, but at this time, it is in the middle of this deserted street, and in just two or three days, a full seven or eight hundred people have gathered.
These people are not old, weak, sick or disabled, and almost all of them are men in the prime of life.
Because this group of people knew that their identity was special, they were also extremely careful after coming here, and they didn't dare to make any publicity.
When they saw Cao Anmin and his party arriving from a distance, their faces also showed a little surprise, but they didn't have any panic.
It wasn't until Cao Anmin and his party stopped at the end of the street and planned to penetrate this courtyard that they stopped.
"Stop, this is a private house, who are you?"
Because it was not eye-catching, Cao Anmin and his entourage had already changed out of their military uniforms and replaced them with ordinary regular uniforms.
It is precisely because of this that this group of Taiping Taoist believers also dared to stop Cao Anmin and his party after seeing them.
Seeing this, Cao Anmin did not open his mouth to explain at this time, but turned slightly sideways and made way for the people behind.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that Zhang Xian'er slowly walked out at this time, and after seeing the big man in front of him, he also said hello.
"Da Niu, don't you even know the envoy?"
When such a greeting was issued, the big man who stopped Cao Anmin in front of him and was called a big cow immediately lit up in front of him, and then the joy on his face was also extremely strong.
"Messenger! It's great to see you're safe and sound! ”
From the words of this big cow, it is not difficult to mishear that during the period when Zhang Xian'er was imprisoned by Cao Ang, the Taiping Taoist Sect was also extremely worried about her.
Although this fairy is not very old, since he can be the Taiping envoy of Yuzhou, he naturally has some talent, and after hearing the words of this big cow at this time, he will not talk to him much outside.
"These are reliable people, let's go inside!"
After finishing speaking, this fairy stepped out and walked in first.
Seeing this, the Taiping Taoist believer named Da Niu in the back also showed a little worry on his face at this time, and hurriedly followed up and issued a reminder.
"Envoy, don't rush in yet!"
As soon as he said that, the fairy was immediately stunned, and her face showed a little bit of non-anger and self-authority, and then she asked coldly.
"Oh? Why is that? ”
Facing Zhang Xian'er's questioning, the young man named Da Niu also showed a little hesitation on his face at this time, as if he was still struggling with how to speak.
"Your Excellency, you failed to preach in Chen County before, and there is no news of you, many people in the sect think that you are in danger, Deputy Envoy Liang An, under the recommendation of other extremely elders, has succeeded the new Yuzhou Taiping Envoy......"
After these words were spoken, the face of the young man called Da Niu showed a deep worry, as if he was afraid that the messenger in front of him would be furious if he disagreed.
"A few days ago, the envoy wrote a letter to summon us to Xiaopei, and the envoy of Liang An and many elders were extremely opposed, thinking that this was the envoy, and you had ...... Defected ......"
After saying this, the big bull also deliberately glanced at Cao Anmin next to him and the guards beside him.
He, who has been hiding from the government, also has a certain vision at this time, and naturally sees at a glance that these guards around Cao Anmin are all disguised by people from the government.
Hearing that after he was imprisoned by Cao Ang, such a thing actually happened in the Taiping Taoism in Yuzhou, the face of the fairy immediately showed a strong gloom, and finally he was even more angry.
"Liang An? What kind of thing is he, the whereabouts of this envoy are just unknown, and as a deputy envoy, he doesn't want to find the traces of this envoy, and he even stands on his own feet in private! ”
"Where is he now, take me to him!"
Speaking of this Liang An, that fairy's face immediately showed a deep disdain.
It was a puppet who only knew how to use fists, and he let him serve as the deputy envoy of Taiping Taoism in Yuzhou, just because of the current difficulties in Taiping Taoism mission, so he let him protect these believers.
But what Zhang Xian'er didn't expect was that this would actually fuel Liang An's ambitions, so that he actually gave birth to the idea of replacing himself in what he had always done!
After hearing such words, Zhang Xian'er was naturally not happy, so she directly scolded her, and let this big bull quickly lead the way for herself.
After the big bull heard such words, he couldn't afford to offend both sides, but seeing that Zhang Xian'er was staring at him with a faint gaze right now, he had no choice but to take the initiative to show Zhang Xian'er the way.
Next to Cao Ang's guard Zhang Xian'er on the side, he naturally heard the conversation between Zhang Xian'er and Da Niu, and seeing that this Zhang Xian'er was angrily planning to find Liang An to question, Cao Ang also frowned.
After making a color to Cao Anmin next to him, Cao Anmin seemed to understand what Cao Ang meant, and when the others followed Zhang Xian'er, he retreated behind everyone and quietly left here.
This Cao Anmin's small action, naturally no one noticed, and after the big cow led Zhang Xian'er into the courtyard, it immediately attracted the attention of many Taiping Taoist believers.
Some of these people's eyes showed deep piety, some of them were happy, but some of them showed a little worry on their faces.
However, after seeing that Zhang Xian'er was still followed by many guards, such worries immediately dissipated a lot.
Seeing that Zhang Xian'er went straight to the place where Liang An was, although these Taiping Taoist believers wanted to tell this Zhang Xian'er about the joy of reunion, but no one stepped forward at this time.
After Cao Ang, who was following behind, saw such a scene, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and after glancing at Liu Qin next to him, he took the initiative to get closer to her.
Looking at him like this, it seems that he knows that there may be danger in this.
It's just that for the danger contained in this, that fairy didn't seem to be aware of it at all, and still followed directly behind the big bull.
I don't know how long I walked, but under the leadership of the big cow, Zhang Xian'er and Cao Ang and their party passed through the Taiping Taoist believers, and finally came to the innermost side of the courtyard.
I saw a burly man in an earthy yellow robe standing with his back to them, and only after hearing the footsteps of this group of people did he slowly turn around.
"Envoy, it's great that you're back safely!"
