But Li Hei was depressed that he could dig a pool and lived underground for several days. He rarely returned to the ground. His violent and cruel side was undoubtedly revealed. He pulled out the shovel and inserted it again, and then inserted it several times in two or three seconds.
, until he cut off the soldier's head, he gasped and stopped.
Cao Zhi didn't expect Li Hei to be so violent. Seeing Li Hei's face spattered with blood, he could only give him a cruel smile, just think it was a battlefield! Then Cao Zhi laughed at Li Hei and said,
Signaling to dispose of the body quickly.
Just as the two were turning over the body and preparing to throw it into the pool, someone suddenly opened the door to the house where the servants and grooms lived.
Maybe when Cao Zhi and Li Hei killed two grooms, the noise became louder and attracted the attention of the people in the house, so they came to check. Unexpectedly, with the creaking sound, the door immediately revealed a ray of light.
Before it was fully opened, Cao Zhi didn't have time to turn around, pushed hard, and turned the corpse in front of him into the horse drinking pool. Li Hei also quickly grabbed the headless corpse in front of him, and jumped in with the corpse.
Drinking in the horse pond.
At this time, Cao Zhi quickly put the full-moon scimitar in his hand on his back, picked up a shovel on the ground, picked up a bamboo hat, stood up, and stretched out his feet to get the water from the head next to him.
Then he turned his back to the house and pretended to bend down and shovel the soil.
He temporarily decided to give it a try. It would be best if he could get away with it. If he couldn't, don't blame him for being ruthless. He was ready to kill as many people as there were in the stable. Sometimes it was inevitable for people to take the lives of others in order to survive.
Li Hei's reaction was also quick. He was shirtless and tall. As soon as he saw Cao Zhi's actions, he understood Cao Zhi's intention. He immediately realized that he was the easiest to be identified, so he followed suit.
Entering the horse pond to drink, Cao Zhi was of average height and was dressed in civilian clothes. It would have been difficult to tell him apart in this windy and rainy night.
When the door opened wide, Cao Zhi and Li Hei completed the adjustment. After the door opened wide, a light curtain illuminated the area in front of the door. A figure walked out of the light curtain. After walking a few steps out of the door,
He stood in front of the door. He also heard the sound of the two bodies entering the water. He put his hands on his waist and cursed: "Zhang Li, you don't have a damn long memory. I told you."
How many times have the soil shoveled out been dumped into the pond?
Sweat broke out on Cao Zhi's back. He didn't know that the man he called Zhang Li was the one they killed just now. He didn't answer, turned around, lowered his head, and kept bowing his head.
This person seemed to be a stable manager, and he also knew that his group of people often poured the mud dredged from the ditch directly into the horse drinking pool for convenience, which was a place for horses to drink anyway. So he was also surprised.
No wonder, I muttered a few words like "lazy fool" and then turned around. Suddenly something occurred to me, so I turned around and asked, "Why are you the only one, where is Fang Liang?"
Cao Zhigang breathed a sigh of relief, and then tightened the handle of the shovel in his hand. Just when he didn't know how to answer, he suddenly glanced at the stable on the other side, and with an idea, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the stable for a while.
The steward was far away, and he knew that Zhang Li was honest and timid. He thought he was talking about something, but at this time, the war drums outside the city suddenly sounded again, disturbing his hearing. But he
After seeing Cao Zhi's gesture clearly, he had already raised his legs to start, but when he saw the gesture, he stopped again, said "poof", turned around fiercely, and cursed as he walked: "Fang Liang, who is a dog, borrowed another
You are lazy when you are shitting and peeing, I will not deal with you tomorrow."
Cao Zhi also couldn't hear what the steward was saying, but when he turned around and left, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When the man walked through the door and closed the door with a heavy "bang", Cao Zhi sighed, lifted his bamboo hat, turned to Li Hei in the horse drinking pool and said: "Put these two sentences on the corpse."
Drag them into our tunnel and don't let them float out."
Li Hei said "Thank you" in the water, and pulled the two corpses with one hand and dived into the water again.
Cao Zhi turned around, thrust the shovel in his hand into the ground, squatted down and picked up another bamboo hat that had fallen to the ground, picked up the head that had fallen into the ditch, and ran quickly to the stable.
Cao Zhi ducked into the stable, which immediately caused a commotion among the horses. Cao Zhi reached out and shushed, signaling these docile animals to stop barking. He then swept around the stable, spotted a pile of straw, and threw the head into it.
After covering it up, he said "Bye bye!" to the many four-hoofed animals that were paying attention to him, and then walked out of the stable.
When they came to the horse drinking pool, Li Hei had just finished handling the body and surfaced. After Cao Zhi reached out and pulled him to the shore, he gave him a bamboo hat and asked him to take it with him. Each person held a shovel and slowly moved towards the back of the stable.
.
They ducked into a few rows of stables at the back and found one close to the base of the city wall. The two of them jumped into a stable and leaned against a haystack, breathing heavily.
The two rested for a while, and Li Hei suddenly thought of the half steamed bun stuffed in his belt. When he thought of eating it, he immediately became energetic. He straightened up, sat up, took it out, and saw that the steamed bun was soaked in water and could not be eaten.
After eating, Li Hei shook the steamed buns in his hand and looked back at Cao Zhi.
Cao Zhi was also very tired and hungry, but when he saw the steamed buns dripping on the water in Li Hei's hand, they looked at each other and chuckled.
Li Hei shook off the remaining chatter from his hands, got up and muttered to Cao Zhi: "I'm going to find something to eat."
Cao Zhi stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Hold on, you are too tall and might easily reveal your whereabouts. I'd better go."
As Cao Zhi spoke, he walked to the ajar door of the stable, opened a crack with his hand, and peered out.
Cao Zhi looked around for a while, and suddenly thought that it would be easy to find something to eat, but it would be difficult to get out of the city.
He waved to Li Hei and asked: "Li Hei, it is definitely impossible to leave from that pool. We have to figure out how to leave after filling our stomachs later. Deng Juncheng and the others must be dying of panic at this moment."
"Yes!" Li Hei also looked out from the crack of the door and said: "Master, don't worry, we come from the tunnel, we still have to go back through the tunnel. I will observe the terrain first, and you go find food."
, I'm going to dig a hole and connect it to our original tunnel that didn't get flooded."
Cao Zhi thought for a while and found that this was the only way to escape Shouchun City safely. So he said: "Okay, I will accompany you to survey the terrain first. After that, you can go into the water and let the soldiers in the tunnel cooperate with you."
Digging together, so that the two ends are connected, it will be much faster."
After listening to Cao Zhi's suggestion, Li Hei picked up the shovel and said, "Okay, let's go!"
The two of them returned to the horse drinking pool. Li Hei carefully looked at him along the way and made a decisive decision to dig a hole from behind the first row of stables and ask the people in the tunnel to cooperate in this direction to get out.
.
Cao Zhi was afraid that Li Hei was not good at water and his physical strength was severely exhausted today, so he planned to go into the water to send the code. But Li Hei insisted on letting him do it. Firstly, Cao Zhi was the lord, and he did not want Cao Zhi to be in danger again. Secondly, the code was
No one is more familiar than Li Hei.
In the end, Cao Zhi did not insist on his idea of entering the water. Li Hei roughly told him the secret code, and it was not difficult. But this was a critical moment of life and death, and there was no room for error. If he typed it wrong, then
The soldiers below may dig holes in another direction. But here Li Hei is more capable. It will take at least a day for him to dig holes and connect the tunnel behind the zigzag, but now they can wait for a day.
They must get through before dawn tomorrow, otherwise many clues will expose them, and Chen Yu or Qiao Xuan will soon be able to find out that someone has been sent to Shouchun City.
Li Hei didn't waste any time. He came to the edge of the pool and quickly got into the water. "Gulong" got into the water in one go. After several dives in and out, Li Hei's swimming skills were quite impressive.
improve.
After Li Hei entered the water, Cao Zhi put on his hat again and shoveled the soil around the horse drinking pool, burying all the blood stains that could be seen clearly under the lightning.
When it was almost done, Li Hei also came back.
Cao Zhi asked him: "Why is it so fast this time?"
Li Hei said: "They have been waiting over there. As soon as they heard my instructions, they knocked back a few times and then started digging. Many people came down after listening to the sound."
Cao Zhidao: "That's great. You come up first. The cave is almost flooded, right?"
Li Heidao: "You can still show half of your head now."
Cao Zhidao: "Then I will speed it up and dredge the diversion channel. Coupled with the heavy rain tonight, the cave will be completely flooded soon, and then the pond will be filled. In this case, even at dawn, someone will
If you come to drink the horses, you won't notice anything strange. You go to the stables first and find a suitable place to dig a hole. I'll be here soon."
After Cao Zhi said this, he picked up the shovel and walked upstream. Li Hei also responded softly and ran towards the back of the stable in large strides.
Cao Zhi quickly dredged the diversion channel. He didn't pay attention to the beauty and many details, he just wanted to dig this channel. The upstream water flowing out from the back garden of the county mansion quickly re-injected into the horse drinking pool. When he raised his head and gasped,
He saw the dimly lit place of the county government again. At this time, Cao Zhi's stomach rumbled again, "Alas!" Cao Zhi lamented: "One soak in urine can kill a hero, and I, Cao Zhi, can only eat half a meal."
Why am I so hungry if I haven't eaten?"
Thinking of eating, Cao Zhi suddenly had an idea. Cao Zhi looked at the servants' residence not far away, and then at the dimly lit place in the distance.
Cao Zhi originally wanted to find something to eat at the servants' residence, but now he realized that the horseman and the servants' residence could have any leftover food in the middle of the night. It was good for these people to have two meals a day, so there should be no leftovers.
Cold rice. If you want to find something to eat, you should go to the inner house of the county government. Cao Zhi laughed at himself and thought he was stupid. Why did he think of going to the servants' room in the row just now to find food.
"Hi!" Just as he said, Cao Zhi packed up the shovels and cut the fence. He quickly went to the stable and found Li Hei. He told him to dig slowly while he went to find some food and would be back in half an hour.
