They follow us because they don't know where their stronghold is!

If they already know where the stronghold is, wouldn't it be better to just wait and see inside the stronghold?

Can't return to the base!

Cao An immediately made a decision, then suddenly quickened his pace and ducked into the gap between the two courtyards next to him.

Strictly speaking, this road is not a road, it is just a small gap left between the walls of the two courtyards. It is only as wide as one side at most. It is dark and damp inside, and there are some scattered debris on the two walls.

It's all moss, greasy and smelly.

Cao An staggered and squeezed forward as much as possible. The two people following him wanted to come over, but they couldn't speed up because of the walls on both sides. As long as he could get out of this narrow gap, he could immediately go to the opposite side.

He burrowed into the alley, turned two more corners, and even if the two men caught up with him, they could no longer find any trace of him!

The two people following Cao An saw that Cao An had lost his trace, so they hurried forward to search. Soon they saw Cao An's figure in the gap. They also knew that Cao An had discovered the trace, and immediately squeezed into the gap with them.

, while blowing the warning whistle...

"Beep——"

A sharp whistle sounded inside the house.

"Do it! Catch him! He's alive!" The expression of the middle-aged man at the door of the inner square changed, and he immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to rush into the inner square.

Cao An ignored his face and hands that were scratched by the stones in the gap. When he rushed out of the gap, he flicked his hand to the side seemingly unconsciously. A broken earthen jar placed in the corner was knocked to the ground, and mud was scattered on the ground.

Ash.

It seemed that because of this, Cao An's soles slipped and he almost hit the brick wall on the opposite side. However, he quickly used his hands and feet to run forward hurriedly, as if he was a chased bereaved man.

dog.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But before Cao An could escape into another alley, he saw other people who were outflanking him and rushed towards him. One of them even shouted: "Little thief!"

Why don’t you just surrender quickly!』

Cao An turned around suddenly and saw two or three people rushing over behind him!

broken!

Although Cao An took out a short blade from his arms and fought hard, he was not the kind of general who could fight in and out of millions of people, so he quickly fell into a siege, and finally saw that there was no hope of escape, so he

He howled: "Revive the Han Dynasty! Kill all the Han traitors!"

After shouting this sentence, Cao An suddenly turned the short blade upside down and stabbed it into his chest and abdomen!

"grass!"

The middle-aged man who caught up from behind arrived just in time. When he saw Cao An committing suicide, he couldn't help but cursed.

A man with knowledge of the situation knelt down in front of Cao An, looked at the wound where Cao An's blade had penetrated, stretched out his hand to test Cao An's breathing, and then shook his head at the middle-aged man.

"Fuck! Damn it!" The middle-aged man stamped his feet and said after a while, "Wrap a cloth around your head and carry it away! Report back to Director Kan!"

……╰(‵□′)╯……

With a stiff smile on his face, Fan Cong slowly walked forward along with the flow of people.

There seemed to be some voices behind the scenes discussing the Hussars General's military parade and celebration.

There was excitement in those voices, but Wang Ling's heart was filled with ice...

General Hussar held such a grand military parade. As a junior official among the three assistants, of course he tried his best to participate. Fan Cong was no exception, and he could not be an exception. After all, Fan Cong still had to maintain an image of being loyal to the Hussar.

Therefore, I asked for leave early and expressed my intention to attend the ceremony...

Of course, Fan Cong didn't come to Chang'an just to watch the actual ceremony. He was also responsible for bringing new documents to Cao An. But just now, he saw the broken earthen pot at the corner and the dried clay on the brick wall.

There are some blood stains. If you don't pay attention, you may think that something accidentally rubbed it, but Fan Cong knows that this is the highest level warning.

So Fan Cong didn't even dare to enter the courtyard, and turned around and left the courtyard.

Cao An's death made Fan Cong feel inexplicable fear.

This kind of fear is even more terrifying than when I saw those people in the labor camp being beheaded under Tongguan...

Fan Cong didn't understand why he had such strong emotions.

Things harm their own kind.

A warrior is just a warrior, and a soldier is just a soldier. However, Cao An is a descendant of the gentry clan and a descendant of the Cao family. To a certain extent, he is the same kind of person in Fan Cong's consciousness.

Cao An's death also triggered more serious consequences.

Fan Cong no longer dares to go to this hidden stronghold, and it is very likely that the Hussars General's men will search for it later. After all, a small courtyard that has not been visited for a long time can easily attract the attention of the villagers.

What if Cao An left something that he shouldn't have left in the stronghold?

Since the last incident of the Jiangdong bandits, General Hussar issued an edict. In order to prevent the activities of spies and spies in the land of Sanfu, a stricter household registration management and registration system has been implemented, whether it is for private households, commercial banks, or

The children of the gentry who came to study must be re-registered with the local household registration officials, and they are often reviewed by the villagers, which makes it even more difficult to recruit new personnel.

Because it is easy to find a person who is not registered in the household registration, and the procedures for registering a household registration are very cumbersome, and it is very troublesome to create documents that can be traced, so it is convenient to be able to be truly stable within the Sanfu of Chang'an.

It was these people who arrived in Chang'an early...

And if one of these people dies or is exposed, there will be one missing, and it is extremely difficult to replace them.

Cao An's death might expose more people, including Fan Cong himself.

We must find a way to leave!

If you stay any longer, you will die. You will definitely die!

Can't wait any longer...

We must find an excuse as soon as possible and leave Tongguan!

Perhaps, the excuse is that a relative in the family has died?

This is somewhat disrespectful to our ancestors...

Fan Cong lowered his head, thinking as he followed the flow of people.

Suddenly, the flow of people stopped, and then seemed to become quiet. Several people walked up to Fan Cong and grabbed Fan Cong's arm. They grabbed it so hard that Fan Cong felt that the bones in his arm were about to break.

Already.

Fan Cong was startled and screamed, "Who are you?! Someone from Tongguan..."

Kan Ze walked over slowly from the side, with a kind smile on his square face, "Fan, the official of Tongguan, right? Did you find the wrong person?"

"You..." Fan Cong wanted to struggle, but couldn't move at all. "You, what do you want to do?"
