"What are you looking at? It's almost dawn, so I have to go in and steal some clothes." The fat man squatted next to Nanfeng.

"Something's wrong." Nanfeng shook his head slowly.

"What's wrong?" The fat man didn't notice anything unusual.

"Why are all the sentries asleep?" Nanfeng pointed to the camp. There were eight watchtowers around the camp. The sentries in each watchtower were all sitting in the watchtowers and fell asleep.

"What time has it been? Who is not sleepy?" The fat man yawned, "Do you suspect this is a trap?"

Nanfeng didn't answer. It's hard to say whether it was a trap, but he was able to sail the boat with caution. He had offended so many people and was still alive today because he had always been cautious.

There is a fence around the barracks, and there are many carriages parked outside the fence. The horses have been taken away, and there are only carts. There is something on the carts. With the cover of the carriages, you can easily approach the barracks.

There are two ways to get out of the city right now. One is to pretend to be a soldier and follow the team out of the city. There is also a way to hide the carriages, which will probably leave the city after daybreak.

Both methods can work, but only if you are sure that this is not a trap set by your opponent.

After half a stick of incense, Nan Feng stood up, turned around and walked north.

"What are you doing?" the fat man asked.

"Make sure if this is a trap." Nanfeng walked quickly.

The fat man took a few steps to follow, "If you want to know if this is a trap, we have to go in to find out. Why are you walking back?"

"Stop yelling, follow me." Nanfeng changed from brisk walking to jogging. It would be dawn soon. He had to find out whether this place was a trap before dawn. If not, it would be a great opportunity to leave the city.

After walking back a few streets, Nanfeng spotted the patrolling officers and soldiers again. He bypassed the street to the north of the street patrolled by the officers and soldiers, and hid in a dark place where the officers and soldiers must pass before the officers and soldiers arrived.

The patrol officers and soldiers walked past not far from the two of them while talking.

"It's really a trap." The fat man stared in shock. The content of the conversation between the officers and soldiers who passed by was exactly the same as that of the officers and soldiers they met before.

Nanfeng was also frightened. Fortunately, he had not deceived himself before. If he had been lucky, he might have been caught by them now.

"They are determined to kill people and silence them." Fatty sighed.

Nanfeng nodded. Such a large formation showed that the other party was determined to get rid of him quickly. It is currently unclear whether this was done by Li Shangqin and others, or by Long Yunzi and others, because both groups had killed His reasons.

"Where to go now?" the fat man asked.

"Don't worry, let me think about it." Nanfeng waved his hand and said. From this, it is not difficult to see that the other party thinks that he is eager to leave the city. The only feasible way at the moment is to do the opposite. If he doesn't go out, he will hide in the city.

You can't go to Yuan Anning's house, as it may injure others. Hiding in the market is also risky. The other party is sure that he is still in the city. If they can't find him, they may search again. There are no big deep mountains in Chang'an City. If you want to avoid being found, you have to look for places that the other party can't think of or doesn't know how to search.

After pondering for a long time, Nanfeng turned to look at the fat man and said, "Let's go separately. It's me they want to arrest. You leave the city first, and I'll think of a solution later."

The fat man frowned and curled his lips when he heard this, "Say something useful."

"I'm not afraid of injuring you, I have something important for you to do." Nanfeng briefly told Fatty about Tianmu Lao Dao, "Tianmu may have been killed, I have to get that letter, it's too late. It's been too long, and I'm worried that the letter will be damaged by moisture. You go to the place I just mentioned, get the letter back, and then go back to the cave where we lived before. I will find you after I get out of trouble."

"Don't say this, think about how to get out of the city." The fat man didn't want to leave Nanfeng.

"Now I'm worried that there are officers and soldiers searching outside the city. Even if I get out, I might be caught by them. I'll hide in the city for a while. You go and get the letter back for me. Tian Yuanzi is my master, and I'm influenced by him. Well, we must clear up his name and avenge him, but until now I don’t know what happened to the Taiqing Sect back then. That letter is very important to me. If you get the letter back for me, I will have no worries. I know Chang’an City well. It's very convenient to hide alone." Nanfeng said.

Fatty also knew that Nanfeng was telling the truth, but he didn't want to be separated from Nanfeng. This place was thousands of miles away from Yu County and it would take a long time to walk.

After thinking about it, the fat man said, "Tianmu is smart enough to put the letter in a bottle. It's okay. The letter will definitely not be damaged. If I don't leave, I can still go out and give it to you when it's inconvenient for you to come forward." Buy food.”

Thinking about it carefully, what the fat man said made sense. In fact, when he sent the fat man away, besides getting the letter, he was mainly worried that he would implicate the fat man. This was not a child's play. If he caught him, he would be beheaded.

"How about we hide in the temple, and I'll shave off my hair and go hang out. You pretend to be a pilgrim and live in the temple." The fat man came up with an idea.

"No." Nanfeng shook his head. The other party could make all the night watch soldiers in Chang'an City speak those deceitful words all night long, even if they searched a Taoist temple.

"How about we hide in your earth temple?" The fat man came up with another idea.

Nanfeng frowned and tilted his head.

"Don't they all say that the most dangerous place is the safest place? They certainly wouldn't have imagined that we would dare to live there." The fat man thought he had come up with a brilliant idea.

"Anyone who said this is probably dead." Nanfeng shook his head again. Danger is danger, and safety is safety. You have to stay away from danger and run to dangerous places because you are smart. That's enough for the old man to hang himself.

"How about going to the palace? They definitely won't search that place." The fat man offered another suggestion.

"You can't get in and you can't hide." Nan Feng shook his head again.

"This won't work, that won't work either. Where do you want to go?" The fat man was anxious.

After thinking for a long time, Nanfeng said, "There is no safe place to hide, and there is no one-and-done solution. You cannot stay in one place, change places every day, and adapt to changes."

"Okay, that's all." The fat man yawned again.

"Let's go, find a place to sleep for a while." Nanfeng turned around to leave.

Before he could take a step, the fat man stretched out his hand to drag him back. At the same time, he pointed at a roof ridge in the distance.

Following the fat man's pointing, Nan Feng vaguely saw a figure flashing on the roof.

"A man jumped off the tower just now. He took advantage of the roof and jumped off." The fat man said.

"Have you seen your clothes clearly?" Nanfeng asked. There are many tall towers in Chang'an City, some are bell towers, and some are sacrificial towers.

"It looks like Zaoyi, maybe it's a police officer." The fat man said.

Nanfeng was shocked when he heard this and looked intently at the sacrificial tower. The sacrificial tower was nearly ten feet high. From the top of the tower, one could look out at the surroundings. Fortunately, the street the two of them were walking on was in the blind spot of the sacrificial tower, so there was no such thing. Saw by the policeman.

"What a grudge, you mobilize the troops." The fat man realized the seriousness of the situation.

This is what Nanfeng was thinking about. Even if he ruined Li Chaozong's good deeds, even if he caused Yan Yinzi to lose his finger, Li Shangqin and Long Yunzi would not make such a big fuss, which would be a bit of a fuss.

However, the two of them were worried about where to go, and the sacrificial tower turned out to be a suitable resting place. The door of the tower was locked and could not be entered. Fatty had spiritual energy and could jump to the second floor. Although Nanfeng was not allowed to jump, he was good at it. Climb up to the second floor and enter through the wooden window on the second floor.

Due to being closed all year round, the tower is very moldy. This sacrificial tower should be a grain sacrificial tower, which is a place where people worship good weather and abundant grains. There are some grain containers in the tower, and there are still some rotten grains left in it. rice.

When we reached the top of the tower, we could see some oil paper wrapped with marinated meat scattered on the ground. In addition, there was an empty wine bottle, and there were traces of urination in the corner. This showed that the policeman that Fatty saw earlier had been on the tower for a long time. short time.

After checking the situation, the two retreated to the fourth floor and found a sheltered corner to lie down and rest.

Although it was spring, the temperature was low. Without spiritual energy cultivation, the Qi could not circulate to keep out the cold, so I did not sleep well.

Knowing that there was a police officer watching from a high place, the two of them did not dare to walk around at night, and only took detours during the day. When walking, they chose busy streets with people to avoid walking in alleys and attracting attention.

In this way, three days later, they arrived at the southwest area of Dongcheng. The two bravely went to the wine shop to eat. Nanfeng sat in the corner, with his back to the door.

There was also a table of diners in the restaurant, a few people from the martial arts world dressed as warriors. Their conversation made Nanfeng frown. After five years, Long Yunzi, the real protector of the country, held the Yuqing Dharma Assembly again, inviting all the people from the Jianghu community. Martial arts competition, the ownership of the fragments of the Dingtian Book...
