(It’s a new week, so I’d rather ask for some recommendations and votes!~)

It was late at night, and it seemed quiet and lonely here, but it was broken by a sudden arrival of a group of soldiers. Their number was no less than a hundred, and there was no telling how many people were floating around nearby, causing a wave of panic.

The civilians who were originally living at the bottom were watching all this uneasily in the dark, and their hearts were filled with a feeling of expectation or fear.

Under the gaze of many eyes in the dark and bright, Hou Liru, a court captain, was sitting high on his horse. Under the dim moonlight, the horse restlessly raised a hoof on his hip and gently paved the bumpy ground.

Li Ru raised his eyebrows and looked at the stone-built courtyard in front of him. All the people who had just gone in to search came out, and they all answered the same question, "Nothing was found." He listened quietly all the time, and his emotions didn't seem to fluctuate at all.

, but the mountains and rivers on his forehead still revealed the unrest in his heart at the moment.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes, Li Ru sighed, feeling that he should have thought that a person who could stir up such a turmoil would be so easy to deal with. He was probably also affected by the victory in Hulao some time ago, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

It's stable.

Thinking of this, Li Ru was shocked. He had always thought that his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, would make the same mistake. He never thought that he would make the same mistake one day. It seemed that he was still too careless. Even if he wanted to make arrangements, what Luoyang had done before

That was too much of a fuss, wasn't it meant to let the other party notice?

Originally, Li Ru only wanted to make a bigger noise to beat Wang Yun and the others. Although these old foxes couldn't find any evidence to capture them, Li Ru didn't want to make it easy for them. Living in panic every day should be a good idea.

It was a gift, but now that I think about it, I took it too much for granted. I can only say that I have not encountered any major setbacks since my "debut". Unknowingly, Li Ru was also a little frivolous.

It's just that this time, at least for now, he has no choice but to take action. He has no choice but to continue.

Li Ru took a deep breath to clear his mind, looked around and said, "Are you sure this is the place?"

A man next to him who looked like a mouse with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks reported in fear: "Bing Tingwei, this is the right place. This person has been staying here recently, and there is no sign that he wants to move. Could it be..."

Could it be that he didn't say something, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident. This is not their responsibility. It can only be said that the other party is too cunning. When he sees that the limelight is not right, he will run away immediately.

Li Ru's sharp eyes glanced at him, which immediately silenced him and did not dare to play any tricks anymore. Only then did he remember that the person in front of him was the current Prime Minister and the mighty military advisor of the Xiliang Army, let alone after the Battle of Hulao

As soon as he returned to Luoyang, a large number of people were punished and a lot of blood was stained. It was impossible to fool him.

Li Ru didn't think about blaming him. He was just talking. It wasn't a serious crime. He just thought of a series of arrangements he had made. It was not entirely unreasonable for Li Ru to be so confident this time. For this early

Apart from the specific identities of the people he sent under surveillance, he knew them to a certain extent.

It stands to reason that he has not gone out recently. Even if there is any movement in Luoyang, he will not notice it here. Everyone who has communicated with him has arranged for people to monitor him, and he has not found anything unusual.

If he left suddenly, he must have discovered something was wrong, but who could tip him off?

"Immediately order to go down and report all the strange faces that have appeared in Luoyang recently. If they are still in Luoyang, go and check them all. Then search around Luoyang and make sure not to miss any one." Li Ru thought of something and ordered like this.

Everyone followed the order and went down, leaving only a few elite guards to protect his personal safety.

Since becoming a Tingwei, Li Ru has been very tight in control of Luoyang and its surroundings. He believes that as long as he is determined, he can get the results he wants, especially since he has an intuition that the person will always hit him.

Speaking of which, as for the people who may have helped him, they might still be around here now.

In any case, this time was a lesson. Li Ru chuckled and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Even if you let a small fish go, it's nothing..."

The words were divided into two parts and he said goodbye to Xilue. The young scribe and Xu Chu just rode on a fast horse. Speaking of the horse under the scribe's crotch, Xilue specifically asked Cao Cao for it, and it was named Claw.

Huang Feidian was of excellent breed, and he ran very gracefully and swiftly. He was considered to be a dashing horse. If it weren't for the limitations of the scribe's riding skills, he would have left Xu Chu behind I don't know how much.

I don’t know how long I have been rushing like this, how far I have walked, and how much time has passed. The moon above my head seems to have rotated half a circle, and the surrounding scene is constantly changing, from the initial crowd to the back.

There was an open space, and then there was a dense forest. When we walked here, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, and after such a long time, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.

The lack of so-called chasing soldiers made the two of them less wary unconsciously. Fortunately for Xu Chu, he was a warrior, and he had repeatedly warned him, so he was vigilant. However, the scribe felt physically and mentally exhausted. He was rushing on the road in such a hurry.

It was something he had never done before in his life, and he really had no choice but to rest here first.

His body was indeed weak and he could not withstand the bumpy movements for too long. Xu Chu had no choice. Xi Lue had said before that he would listen to his orders if something happened during this trip, so he agreed to stop outside a small forest.

Rest for a while before continuing on your way.

They both dismounted first and tied their horses' reins to a nearby tree. They took a deep breath, as if they wanted to spit out the mist they had just sucked in at night mixed with the depression they felt.

After just stopping for a short while, the two of them were ready to go on their way again, when something unexpected happened——

"Who is coming, and where are they going?" Before the two of them could react, they heard a loud shout falling from the sky, and then dozens of figures jumped out from the forest, all sitting high on horses, looking down at the two of them, and there were more in front of them.

A man came with great momentum, urging his horse to gallop. The words just now must have come from his mouth.

Xu Chu immediately protected the scribe behind him and reached out with his other hand, just in time to "get" the reins of Huang Feidian on the right side. He pulled behind him and put the reins directly into the scribe's hands.

Then look at the other person carefully.

I saw that this man was about the same height as Xu Chu. He was holding a short halberd in each hand. What was even more frightening was his face. The arrangement of his facial features was nothing. It could not be called beautiful, but at least it was neat. But

That's all, the skin color on the face is that weird and miserable

Huang, his eyes are bulging out, more like a goldfish, but his mouth is full of ferocious teeth. Coupled with the falcon-like action he is making now, it seems that he can choose someone to eat at any time, and he

His goal is clearly to go towards the scribes.

Seeing this look, even the young scribe who had been calm and composed before could not help but be startled. However, Xu Chu seemed to have no feeling at all. Instead, he shouted at the other party: "Hey, how dare you, a thief, Yingchuan?"

Xu Zhongkang is here!" Saying this, he had already stepped over to his horse on the other side, pulled up the reins and got on the horse, then raised his weapon and faced him...
