The middle-aged man frowned slightly and didn't say anything. He also knew that an old cunning guy like this wouldn't be able to answer questions even if he asked. He just waved his hand and two people followed him and took the fat businessman out.
"Everyone, this bastard doesn't know what's going on here, so let him help me guard the shop." As he walked out, the obese businessman shook his head and greeted a young boy who looked confused, frightened and sleepy, and ordered him to guard the shop. Good store.
Seeing the fat businessman disappearing outside the door, one of the two men who stayed behind said angrily in a deep voice: "This family is too presumptuous, they really think they are visiting our guests."
"Hehe, although we are not guests, it is almost the same. These guys are confident because they are Li Wufeng's people in the northwest. Who told us to still be allies with them? Take them back, we will not just ask them as a matter of routine, but also imprison them for a period of time. , wait for the other party's superior agency to coordinate, what else can you do?" Another man replied with a wry smile.
"Allies? How can there be such allies? Look at all the things they do. Isn't any of them nothing more than robberies? They are either spying on our military deployment, or they are collecting all aspects of our social situation in Hanzhong, or they are traveling around surveying and mapping maps. Do you think this is a sign of an ally?" The man who spoke first curled his lips in extreme dissatisfaction.
"Eldest brother, don't talk about second brother. Aren't we doing the same job in their territory? Isn't this good? We caught their people, just in exchange for our brothers who were caught by them. It's just a transaction, the two are not the same. I owe you." The last man put his head on the entrance of the dark cave and listened carefully for a while, and then said again: "I didn't expect this guy to be quite cunning. After leaving the secret passage through the back door, he actually set up a tunnel passage here. Look, The secret passage we came here was used as a cover to paralyze us. It’s not easy to be pecked in the eye by geese while hunting all day long!”
"Isn't there any sound yet?" another man asked.
"Well, I guess this tunnel should lead to some complex terrain, a forest or a river, so that it is easier to escape and hide from tracking. These guys learn very quickly." The man stood up, shook his head with some regret and said: " It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch that guy, but it can be considered a small gain. The special intelligence organization in Northwest China in Hanzhong should not have much influence."
An underground river quietly flows into the gentle Han River. Since it is close to the ship dock, this area has been cleaned very clean. There is no place to hide. The black shadow quietly poked his head out and took a few deep breaths. It can be seen from a distance. The gunfire on the other side of the pier has risen. It seems that the other party has fully mobilized, and it won't take long for this area to be searched.
Looking around, I saw that the area near the pier is a shantytown, with a mixed collection of dilapidated wooden houses forming a slum area. Most of the people living in this area are porters on the pier or sailors and long-term workers on boats. The vast majority They are all foreigners from remote mountainous areas. With the prosperity of Xuankou Town, this area has gradually developed, and there are even some gambling establishments, but they are only for sailors who have returned from a hard day's work or sailing. A lowly place to vent. From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard coming from a distance, probably because the old pheasant prostitutes who were still picking up customers at night were seizing the time to do business.
After thinking for a while, the black shadow rolled ashore, and the water stains immediately formed a group on the bank. Without any time to think, the black shadow hurried along the river bank towards the dense shanty towns, and soon disappeared in the darkness. A burst of dogs After shouting, the black shadow quickly returned along the original path, being extremely careful while walking, but still maintaining a fast speed.
Returning to the shore, the lanterns and torches extending from the pier were getting closer. Knowing that there was no need to delay any longer, the black shadow jumped into the water like a beautiful fish without a splash, and disappeared silently into the dark water. .
Two purebred wolf dogs with slender bodies and golden hair quickly passed along the river bank with a burst of light footsteps. A series of lights followed closely and swayed among a group of neat figures. At this time, there was no sound from the exit of the underground river. Two black shadows appeared, like two ghosts.
"Who? Stand up!" The alert search team immediately formed a semi-arc encirclement, and the two wolfhounds also let out a deep roar from their throats, ready to pounce.
"Me," the two figures rose up from the water with a slight movement. From their flexible figures, one could tell that they were Lian Jiazi.
"Oh, Brother Deguang, Brother Wenbai." The leader of the search team immediately recognized the person and hurriedly greeted him, "Why, you didn't catch up? Where are Brother Zhou and Brother Li?"
"Well, this guy is very cunning. He set up a trap in the underground ditch when he had time. He almost injured Brother Wen Bai and me, which delayed us for a while. The two of them were led to another branch. It may take a while to catch up. Come here." The man known as Deguang Brotherde was still searching around. He knew that the other party did not throw him far away, but the rugged and complicated underground ditch made him and Wen Bai suffer a lot. A small ambush The crossbow was placed at the corner. If I hadn't been careful, I would have almost been tricked by this damn crossbow. However, this also brought great psychological pressure to the two of them. They didn't dare to chase too closely. It was hard to tell. What kind of magic weapon did the guy who was fleeing in the front have yet to use? The water in the dark ditch became stronger as they got closer to the river, which also greatly restricted the speed of the two of them.
"Let the brothers disperse and raise the fire and lantern. This guy didn't escape far and should be here." Brother Deguang directed the search team to disperse quickly. He and the man named Wen Bai, with the help of He looked carefully at the signs on the river bank under the light.
"Brother Deguang, there are water stains here!" There are many people and strength. With the help of wolf dogs, the search team quickly discovered the place where the black shadow came ashore. "He ran over there!"
Under the illumination of the light, an obvious water stain extended along the river bank towards the dark residential area. It was obvious that the opponent had escaped into the shanty town. There were many people in this shanty town and the environment was even more complicated. It was the best place for the opponent to take advantage of. It is very difficult to find such a stranger in this area. However, if you enter a shanty town, it will be more difficult to escape the search party's encirclement. Although the time delay will be longer and more troublesome, the final result will be the fate of falling into a trap.
Seeing the search team excitedly swooping down in the direction of the water stain, the two wolfdogs were even more excited to break away from their master's traction, twisting their heads with bared teeth and even trying to bite off the restraints on their necks. The huge force of the cowhide collar even pulled the two pullers staggering. It was not until they gave the dogs a hard slap on the head that the two wolfdogs who were about to explode calmed down a little.
Brother Deguang was not fooled by the traces he noticed. He did not believe that the other party would escape into the shantytown so easily. Although he could hide for a while by escaping into the shantytown, once daybreak, he would face a house-to-house search by the search team. It was difficult to get away. This guy was extremely cunning, bold and careful, and would not make rash decisions. With this idea in mind, after everyone disappeared, Brother Deguang still ordered the stranger to hang a lantern for him, while he carefully Observe the traces of water stains on the ground.
Suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and he immediately ordered the people next to him to put down the lanterns. Several water stains caught his attention. These water drop marks were somewhat different from the other ones. They were smaller and the last. The strange thing is that due to the inertia caused by walking speed, other water drop marks are all round in front and pointed in the back, and drag some water whiskers. Most of the directions are with the round head facing the shore, and the water whiskers and pointed tail pointing toward the river. direction, but the directions at several points are exactly the opposite.
What does this mean? Brother Deguang was overjoyed. This could only mean that these points were left behind by his opponent when he returned. Due to time constraints, the water on his clothes had become much less. Only these drops of water would become more beautiful than those just leaving the shore. The water drop mark is much smaller. It turns out that this guy used this trick to draw his side's attention to the shanty town so that he could escape from the river. This guy must still be hiding in the river, probably somewhere downstream, so that he can relax and deal with it. Sneaking away while searching on both sides of the river!
In the excitement, Brother Deguang stood up and didn't even notice that there was another person quietly on the river bank. He was about to get up and call his companions who had disappeared into the darkness. Suddenly, he found that the light suddenly dimmed. It turned out to be a lantern falling. On the ground, he was about to blame the lantern holder for being careless, but suddenly he found that the lantern holder's body suddenly softened. He was shocked and turned his head violently before he could make a defensive posture. A huge palm had already twisted his neck. He looked at the other party's pale and green face with horrified eyes, which seemed to contain a sigh, but he could only hear the cracking sound of his throat bones, and he no longer became conscious.
After dealing with the two people, the black shadow took a breath for a while. It was obvious that this period of time consumed him a lot of energy. He did not expect that the guy lying at his feet was so shrewd and could actually tell from the clues that he thought he was foolproof. It was in vain. He even changed his shoes and returned, but the opponent still saw his flaw, so he had to risk going ashore to kill the opponent. Fortunately, the opponent was too focused on looking at the marks on the ground, so he succeeded in taking the risk. Why bother? If you were negligent, it wouldn't be like this. He glanced at the two people lying on the ground and shook his head with regret.
With two plops, the two corpses slid into the water. Black Shadow did not dare to stay for a long time. He also knew that the two corpses would be discovered by the patrol soldiers at dawn, but with this night, he was enough to escape. . He took a long breath, dwarfed his body, and dived into the water again. The Han River, which was gentle to the east, returned to calm. Only the sparkling waves under the stars were as calm as if nothing had happened.
