The true energy flowed in Fan Xiaodao's body. He had already noticed that in addition to Jingshi Peng, there were also two people's breathing sounds in the carriage.

A faint fragrance of peach blossoms came.

He immediately concluded that Xu Miaozi was hiding in the carriage.

Although Fan Xiaodao's nose is not as good as Zhao Xing, he is very familiar with this taste. On that day, he bought this rouge called Taohuajie at the rouge shop in Confucius Temple.

Today, he has smelled it on Xu Miaozi.

The carriage slowly drove in the city, only secluded streets and alleys, turning left and right, and did not encounter any inspections by patrol teams along the way. It was obvious that they learned in advance about the deployment of the garrison troops in the city.

The thief was still in the car, and Fan Xiaodao did not dare to act rashly, for fear that the other party would jump over the wall and hurt Xu Miaozi.

In a secluded place, the coachman said, "There will be officers and soldiers to check later. Remember not to shout or scream, otherwise you will not be able to live in any of you!"

In a trembling voice, "Didn't you agree that I'll send you out of Zhuquefang, will you release someone?"

The coachman sneered, "I changed my mind, save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. I think it's safer to send them to the outside of the city."

Peng Jingshi said, "The city is blocked now, and if you want to leave the city, it is probably not easy."

The coachman said, "That's your business. Peng Wuwang, you must remember that your life and the life of your whole family are in our hands. If there is a mistake, no one will think of living."

When Censor Peng heard this, he was so scared that he remained silent.

Fan Xiaodao didn't dare to act rashly.

The carriage passed through Qinhuaifang and arrived at the Xicheng Gate.

There was a garrison at the door intercepted the coachman, and the coachman had already prepared and sent the Mingla of Censor Peng, saying, "The car is Censor Peng, who is in charge of the Governor General, and goes out to do business."

The man asked, "Is there any document from the Governor's Office?"

The coachman said, "It's said it's an oral order, where did the documents come from?"

The voice of Censor Peng came from the carriage, "Why, I am in Jinling and I have no power to leave the city?"

Although the city of Jinling implements a curfew, the rules are dead and people live. It is not strictly enforced. Especially in this city, there are many powerful people, and the city gate officials dare not stop them casually. They often turn a blind eye.

One eye will let go.

But today is different. The garrison army takes over, and major events happen in the city. Unless military and political affairs are important, they dare not let them go privately.

The man saluted, "Sir, I am not afraid to be favored by my own selfishness, please forgive me."

At this time, another person came to the car and advised, "Person Lu, Lord Peng is the censor of the capital after all. As long as there is no taboo, we don't need to offend him for this matter. I will be responsible for General Li's side.

That's it."

Fan Xiaodao heard that this person was Lin Xiaowei who had just left Zhuquefang.

No wonder I went around a long circle and left the north gate closest to Taiping Lane, and left the city from the west gate. It turned out that Captain Lin was on duty here.

When the coachman heard Captain Lin smoothing out the situation, he quickly handed over a silver note, "This is for the two soldiers. I'm going to buy wine for my brothers after that!"

Captain Lin took the silver note and stuffed it into Captain Lu, "I will bear the responsibility, you can take the benefits. Is that okay?" He came to the carriage and said to Censor Peng: "My Censor, we are also responsible for it."

Can you get in the car and check it out?"

Censor Peng said: "Check it!"

Captain Lin got into the car, checked it in a fake way, jumped out of the carriage, clapped his hands, and said, "No problem, should Lao Lu check it too?"

Although Captain Lu was suspicious, he had already taken the money. If he really went up to investigate and found out that something happened, then what should he do? Since someone was willing to take the blame and he still had money, why not do it?

In this way, even if there is something wrong, the responsibility can be removed clearly.

"Since you have checked it, can you believe it? Open the city gate and let it go!"

The city gate opened and the carriage was about to leave.

Captain Lu said, "Wait!"

"how?"

Lieutenant Lu said, "The public security inside and outside the city has not been very good recently, and Censor Peng is a businessman again. Otherwise, I will send a team of people to escort the adults along the way, which is there a way to take care of me?"

When Censor Peng heard this, how could that work? If the truth is revealed, his life would be explained here, and he refused repeatedly, "This trip is confidential, no need."

...

Zhao Xing rode a horse to Beimen Bridge.

The North Gate Bridge is in the middle of the city, and the garrison army set up a tent in an empty place to serve as a temporary command center. Li Mo is here to preside over the overall situation.

Zhao Xing explained his purpose, analyzed it, and said, "Xu Miaozi is still in Zhuquefang, so they began to release news, which aroused us suspicion. Never mobilize the defense, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted today.

”

Li Mo said, "It's too late, the garrison has expanded its defense."

"When did it happen?"

"Half an hour ago."

Zhao Xing felt a chill in his heart.

Originally, two thousand garrison troops only checked Zhuquefang, and there was almost a rough idea for one night. Now they are stationed in the six garrisons in the city, and their troops have been further diluted, so the difficulty of finding people has increased sharply.

Zhao Xing saw the city defense map on the table.

There are the deployment of the garrison troops at various levels and the arrangements of the patrol team.

When Li Mo saw him, he said no, "Captain Zhao, did you find out?"

Although the city has 2,000 garrison troops with 36 cards, Zhao Xing still found many loopholes. He took a pen and took a moment to mark a piece from Zhuquefang to avoid various checkpoints and inspect the officers and soldiers.

Route out of town.

Li Mo said, "If something is urgent, it is inevitable that there will be some negligence, but even so, the other party may not be able to avoid these levels, so they will go around them, right?"

Zhao Xingdao, "What if someone cooperates inside and outside?"

Li Mo said: "It is impossible. There is only one city defense deployment, and the transfer orders given to various places are separated, so they cannot know the overall deployment."

Zhao Xing asked, "What are you using today's defense plan?"

In the garrison, such as the city-wide search and lockdown, all emergency plans have been made in advance, just to deal with such emergency matters. Once it happens, deploy troops immediately according to the plan. First, we can respond as soon as possible and save time. Second,

There will be no frequent vulnerabilities due to temporary arrangements.

Li Mo nodded.

If this is true, it is obvious that the other party had already deployed the city defense. After the response mechanism was activated, it took advantage of the loopholes in the army's mobilization and defense to find a way out of the city.

Everything is under the other party's calculations, which is obviously a long-planned and well-planned action.

The place where you left the city is at the west gate.

Li Mo asked his deputy, "Who is guarding Ximen?"

"It's Captain Lin and Captain Lu."

Li Mo said, "Prepare the horse!"

Zhao Xing and Li Mo quickly whipped each other and arrived at Ximen, Lin and Lu, two captains, saw Li Mo coming, and felt something was wrong, so they hurried forward to salute.

Li Mo asked, "Is there anyone out of the city in the last hour?"

Captain Lu: "No."

Captain Lin: "Yes!"

Seeing this, the two captains were so different, and they were furious, "Do you have it or not?"

Lin Zhengwei said, "General Li, some. About an hour ago, Censor Peng from Taiping Lane said that he was leaving the city for business under the order of the generals. I asked him for the procedures. He said no, I insisted on refusing, but Lu Zheng

But the wei released it privately."

When Captain Lu heard this, he said, "You are talking nonsense!"

Captain Lin shouted, "So many brothers can testify here. Did you order the city gate to be opened?"

Captain Lu said: "It was you... who collected the money..."

When he spoke, he suddenly realized that the silver was in his arms, and he was fooled by the Lin man. Captain Lin was not vague and stepped forward and grabbed it, taking out the silver bill from his arms.

.

Captain Lu said, "What you said is your responsibility."

Lin Zhengwei said, "There is my responsibility and the benefits are yours. Lu Liangtian, do you think General Li is a fool?"

Seeing this, Captain Lu's head was buzzing. He thrust and knelt down on the ground, "General Mingjian, people were indeed released by Captain Lin. So many brothers can testify!"

Li Mo said sternly: "Enough, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Let's find the person first. Which direction has the carriage gone?"

Lieutenant Lu said, "I don't know."

"have no idea?"

Captain Lu said, "I originally wanted to send a small team to follow him, but Captain Lin disagreed."

Lin Zhengwei said, "When is it now? I still want to shirk responsibility. General Li, I trust Lu Liangtian too much about what I have done today, failed to stick to the principles, ordered to stop it, and I have dereliction of duty. I am willing to lead a team of people.
