Volume Sixteen Han and Tang Dynasties Chapter 1625 Lao Nest
Darkness can give people a lot of convenience. With the waiting of Hou San and his son, the sky finally darkened slowly. After Hou Baowu was told by Hou San, he became much calmer. At this time, the sky was already dark and he was not in a hurry at all.
Hou San glanced at Hou Baowu and nodded with satisfaction. He believed that Hou Baowu was a good seedling. As long as he was given more time, he could surpass himself in the future. He just didn't know if he had the opportunity to see it.
"It's almost done, let's go." Hou San said to Hou Baowu.
"Go now?" Hou Baowu was a little surprised. Is it too early to be a genius just now?
"It's time to eat now, and it's just right where to go." Hou San explained. This time they were going to check the situation of the carriage, and they didn't have to wait until midnight to go. At that time, I'm afraid I can't see anything.
Hou San and his son once again touched Zhang Jianguo's store. The store was closed at this time and seemed quite quiet on the surface, but Hou San knew that the store would definitely not be calm.
The defense at night is much stronger than during the day, but now it is time to eat. Whether it is someone who has eaten or has not eaten, his attention is not so focused. The father and son touch the yard more easily than during the day.
"The carriage was carried into that house." Hou Baowu remembered this very clearly.
"Let's go down from above." Hou San pointed to the roof. There were people guarding the door. Even if he was powerful, he could not enter through the gate without disturbing the guards. Exposure may not necessarily die, but once it is exposed, there is no chance to check the task again. Before reaching the goal, Hou San is not allowed to be exposed.
Hou Baowu had no objection to Hou San's decision. Hou San's experience was far more abundant than him. Even if Hou San was not right every time, at least he had his considerations for every decision.
There were also guards on the roof, but he was facing back to this side. Hou San had the opportunity to enter the house from the roof without disturbing him.
"We take turns to go up and uncover the tiles. Remember, we must never make any sound!"
"Okay, I'll take a deep breath." Hou Baowu took a deep breath and began to suck the tiles, while Hou San was fully careful about the movements of the guard. Whenever something was wrong, he would immediately gesture Hou Baowu.
After covering each other for about ten minutes, the father and son finally opened a hole in the blind spot of the guard's sight without knowing it.
"You watch here, I'll go down." Hou San said with great affirmation in Hou Baowu's ear. In this case, one of the two must be guarding the two and provide support at any time.
"Okay." Although Hou Baowu also wanted to go down to see the situation in the house, he knew better that the current environment would not allow them to go down together. With Hou San's experience, he could have a better chance to discover clues than Hou Baowu.
"Be careful." Hou San finally reminded Hou Baowu and got into the hole.
While carefully covering the hole, Hou Baowu paid attention to the situation in the room. Hou San had already entered the room, but did not make any sound at all, which made Hou Baowu secretly say the word "convinced" in his heart.
The situation in the house is not as complicated as Hou San imagined. Apart from the extra carriage, this house is no different from the ordinary house.
Simple furniture and simple beds should not be used for the big guys to live here before. Hou San didn't care about these things, and his eyes were already on the carriage from the beginning.
The room was very quiet, and the carriage was very quiet. At this time, there should be no other people in the room except Hou San. But Hou San felt that there were other people there, and it was right away.
"Why is this the case?" Hou San asked himself in his heart. This was the first time he had a mission after waking up. He was afraid that he had been sleeping for so many years and felt something was wrong. Because no matter what, in this environment, there shouldn't be anyone in the carriage.
After listening carefully for a while, Hou San really couldn't hear any sound in the carriage, and he didn't even breathe. But the feeling of someone in the carriage not only did not disappear, but it was even more certain.
Hou San was really puzzled. The first thing he thought about was whether this would be a trap set by Zhang Jianguo. He specifically led him to hook him up.
Thinking about all the possible mistakes from surveillance of Zhang Jianguo to the present, Hou San shook his head. He couldn't think of somewhere that he had happened to be important enough to make Zhang Jianguo sure that their father and son were monitoring him. After repeated considerations, Hou San decided to take a risk to confirm the situation in the carriage.
Taking a deep breath, Hou San approached the carriage step by step. He walked very carefully and did not make any sound at all. When he was about to reach the carriage, a strong sense of crisis suddenly reached his mind, and he immediately retreated when he thought about what he didn't think about.
This sense of crisis is only available to those who have been rolling around on the line of life and death for a long time, and is generally very accurate. Hou San absolutely believes in this feeling and has already made the correct reaction according to the feeling. Unfortunately, he is still one step slower. A figure who retreats faster than Hou San, approaches quickly, and a heavy blow hit Hou San's chest.
"Puchi." Hou San's mouth of blood suddenly spurted out. Now he had seen clearly the image that attacked others.
The black long shirt, expressionless and full of death. This is the unique appearance of the black hero, very typical. Hou San recognized at first glance that the attacker was a black hero.
It was enough to surprise Hou San to meet the Black Hero here, but this was not the one that Hou San was most surprised. What surprised him most was not seeing the Black Hero, but seeing Chen Dali. Chen Dali quietly wandered in the carriage without moving, and could not tell whether it was life or death.
Chen Dali is Hou's comrade-in-arms for more than 30 years. Hou San dares to bet with his head, so he is absolutely not wrong. But why he is with the Black Hero is not something that Hou San can imagine during the first time. Because the battle report from Yuncheng did not reach Hou San's hands, he did not know that in Hu You's heart, Chen Dali had already died in battle.
Hou San really wanted to see whether Chen Dali was alive or dead, but he didn't have that chance. The black hero did not take his life with one blow, and immediately rushed towards Hou San again.
Hou San's kung fu is mainly about small things. He is not Qin Ming's opponent when he fought alone. When Qin Ming first met the Black Hero, he just tied with the Black Hero. Hou San got the Black Hero move from the beginning and could no longer compete with the Black Hero. Now he is very lucky to be able to leave here alive.
Hou San knew very well that the fighting sounds here would soon attract more enemies. He had to leave before the enemy arrived, otherwise both the father and son would die here today.
Hou San is a good father. He would never allow the child to die here. After gritting his teeth, he fought back desperately towards the Black Hero. When the Black Hero punched him hard, he lent the force to rush towards the roof.
After Hou Baowu entered the house, he was very concerned about the situation in the house. He was also very anxious when he heard the fighting sounds in the house and wanted to rush down immediately. But before he could take action, Hou San flew backwards out of the hole.
"Father, how are you?" Hou Baowu was startled by the blood on Hou San's face, and he didn't care about anything else at this time.
"If you have a master, go quickly." Hou San grabbed Hou Baowu and jumped down the house.
The black hero seemed to have some special order instructions. After Hou San left the house, he did not chase him out again. However, Hou San was not in a good condition. Others who heard the sound had already rushed towards him and Hou Baowu.
"Father, I'll carry you." Hou Baowu carried Hou San on his shoulder regardless of the situation. Hou San made two black heroes in a row and was seriously injured and was unable to fight again.
"Go east, there is a river there, jump down!" Hou San used his last strength to point out the way to escape to Hou Baowu. He didn't say anything to let Hou Baowu put him down and walk by himself. He knew that Hou Baowu would never do that. Moreover, he could not die yet. He must find out what happened to Chen Dali.
Hou Baowu's kung fu could not beat the black hero, but he could still do it against Zhang Jianguo. With his desperate efforts to get through the barrier, he actually made a bloody path.
"Father, you must hold on. We'll be by the river right away."
Hou Baowu muttered as he ran. He had already experienced the pain of almost losing his father once, and he definitely didn't want to experience it again.
"Who is it?" Zhang Jianguo was also surprised by the touching of the house. He did so many things, just to prevent and not target anyone. Unexpectedly, someone actually touched it.
"Not found."
Hou San and Hou Baowu both had makeup on. People who were not very familiar with them could not tell who they were.
"In other words, you haven't caught anyone?" Zhang Jianguo said a little unhappy.
"They jumped into the river and ran away." The people who gave the reward were not afraid of Zhang Jianguo. On the surface, Zhang Jianguo was the head of the place, but in fact they were all at the same level, not Zhang Jianguo's subordinates. Zhang Jianguo had no power to do anything to them.
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Jianguo knew that no matter how angry he was, it would be useless. Everyone just had different divisions of labor and was not subordinate. He didn't do anything to do anything about others. But he would not let this situation continue for too long. Sooner or later, he would make this guy obedient.
"Father, how are you?" Hou Baowu struggled to pull Hou San to the shore and kept slapping his face.
After a while, Hou Sancai opened his eyes, looked at Hou Baowu's red eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, my life is very hard, and it's not so easy to die... Cough..."
Another mouthful of blood was spitting out, which scared Hou Baowu very much. Fortunately, Hou San did not faint again this time. After vomiting blood, he felt much more relaxed.
"This time, we are in trouble." Hou San signaled Hou Baowu to sit down, and he had a lot of things to say to Hou Baowu.
Seeing that Hou Baowu seemed to have improved a lot, he felt relieved, sat down next to Hou San, and asked, "What exactly is there in the room?"
"Black Hero." Hou San said affirmatively. On this issue, he had no need to hide anything from Hou Baowu. His injury was that he did not expect the existence of the Black Hero in advance, and he didn't want Hou Baowu to know either.
"It's actually a black hero! So, our judgment is correct!"
"Yes, our judgment is correct. Zhang Jianguo is indeed related to the Black Hero. As long as we find the place where he delivered food, we can definitely find the Black Hero's nest."
It was found that the black hero's nest was Hou San's mission this time. Hu You sent him out to ask him to find out the news about this. After three months of hard work, they finally found some useful things.
"Hou Baowu, now I have another news to tell you." Hou San looked at Hou Baowu seriously and said, "I not only met the Black Hero in that room, but also General Chen Dali."
"Father, you are right. Why is General Chen Dali here? Could it be..." Hou Baowu wanted to say that Chen Dali betrayed Han and Tang, but he was interrupted by Hou San without saying it.
"Chen Dali will never betray the Han and Tang dynasties. You should not have any ideas in this regard."
"Yes. Father." Hou Baowu knew that Chen Dali was Hou San's comrade-in-arms, and said that Chen Dali's betrayal was an insult to Hou San. He did not want to continue fighting with Hou San on this issue.
Hou San sighed and said, "I think Chen Dali must have encountered trouble. I am seriously injured and can no longer investigate. Hou Baowu, I want you to continue investigating. Not only do you have to find out where the Black Hero's nest is, but you also have to find a way to rescue Chen Dali!"
Hou Baowu seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. Before, when Hou San was by his side, he was a little childish. But now, Hou San cannot give him some advice on the task. Everything depends on him.
When he touched Zhang Jianguo's shop again, the danger was much higher than before, but Hou Baowu was not afraid at all. Hou San had taught him enough things, and he was confident that he would succeed.
This time, Hou Baowu did not choose to check the carriage again. Although he wanted to rescue Chen Dali immediately, he knew that it was impossible. Hou San had analyzed that the black hero who was under him had not been chased out. He must have received some kind of instructions that must be left by Chen Dali. Hou Baowu knew very well that he was very clear about his strength. It was not something he could do to rescue Chen Dali from the black hero. Chen Dali wanted to save him, but he had to wait for a feasible opportunity.
Hou Baowu is now mainly investigating Zhang Jianguo's method of sending grain. According to the results of his and Hou San's analysis, it is certain that Zhang Jianguo must have some secret path here, and Chen Dali will be sent here, which should be just a transit. It is very likely that he will use Zhang Jianguo's secret path to deliver it to other places. If you keep an eye on Chen Dali, you should get the answer.
Hou Baowu's surveillance is all-weather. He hid himself on the tree in the yard, eating, drinking and sleeping all over it. He thought he was a bird and his eyes had not relaxed for a minute. Such surveillance is very hard. He cannot make any sound when the wind and sun are exposed. No matter what happens, he must lie there gently and remain motionless. Ordinary people can't stand it in less than two hours, while Hou Baowu has been lying here for two days and two nights, and has not moved.
All efforts will be rewarded. At noon on the third day, Hou Baowu finally ushered in a harvest.
It was the room that Hou San had entered, and the door was opened again at this time. What Hou Baowu saw was not the carriage being carried out, but a bag of food being carried into the room.
"Is the secret way in this room?" Hou Baowu remembered that in Hou San's description, it was just an ordinary house and had no effect as a warehouse. In other words, the house was not used to store food.
Hou Baowu felt that his judgment was correct. He wanted to check the room immediately, but he knew that he could not act rashly and he had to wait for the best opportunity.
From noon to night, Hou Baowu finally waited until the opportunity to get into the house. The carriage and food were gone, and the house returned to its original appearance.
Hou Baowu already knew that this was not an ordinary house. He used the method that Hou San had taught him to carefully check the first place in the house and finally made a discovery.
"I can't find you yet." Hou Baowu showed a smile on his face, and in front of him, a secret passage quietly opened his mouth.
Is there any danger below the secret path? This is not a question that Hou Baowu considered. What he needs to know now is where the secret path leads to.
After observing the secret path, it should be safe to enter, Hou San entered the secret path. This is a secret path for transporting grain, which is much wider than the ordinary secret path. Hou Baowu walked along the secret path, and after about half an hour, he arrived at the exit.
The exit of the secret road is a valley, with cliffs on three sides, only a small path with sheep intestines and no people. From the car marks on the ground, Hou Baowu was sure that he did not find the wrong place, but where does this secret road lead to?
Hou Baowu did not hesitate and continued to follow. The time passed by was long. After walking for a long time, Hou Baowu caught up with the convoy in front. In this way, his heart suddenly settled a lot, and the next thing was simple. He just needed to follow the convoy in front and find where he wanted.
Walking forward all the way, it took two days. If the convoy hadn't been ahead, Hou Baowu would have almost thought he had entered another world.
In the past two days, Hou Baowu has never seen anyone else. What he sees in his sight will never be seen. The mountains here are very dangerous, and ordinary people will not come to such places. It is indeed very secret to pass here. Even if you want to yell, no one will hear them.
On the afternoon of the third day, the convoy finally stopped and Hou Baowu also stopped moving forward. He knew that the place he was looking for had arrived.
