In a warehouse separated by a wooden wall from the outside world, Cao Poyan leaned back against the corner of the house with his arms on both sides and stood facing the entrance. He had removed the white-tipped felt hat, revealing a thick black braid. Others spread out between the shelves and whispered in twos and threes, but instead of Sogdian but Turkic—of course, Cui Liulang, who stood by the window, appeared completely incomprehensible.

Cui Liulang rubbed his hands and smiled, "Cao Gong, who will find this place for you? It's very humid here, and there are no restaurant shops nearby. I would like to arrange another one for you."

Cao Poyan seemed to have not heard the question, and answered coldly: "Do the right thing."

Cui Liulang is not embarrassed: "Okay, okay. What are you doing with me, can you say it now?"

Cao Poyan snapped his fingers, and the two companions walked over to spread a roll of cloth on the ground, which was a wide size. Then they took out one coyote, one ink stick, and one inkstone. Cui Liulang was stunned. I didn't know what this meant. Was it necessary to open a science poem?

He looked at the hard yellow silk again and couldn't help but take a breath. Numerous squares are drawn densely on the cloth, and the ink lines are vertical and horizontal, which is the 108 square map of Chang'an City. But this map is too rough, just outline the outline and name of Fangshi.

"This stuff is only collected in the secret palace of the imperial city, and the people who own it in private possession, but the big crime of killing the head!"

Cao Poyan narrowed his eyes: "... Dare you dare to take it?"

Cui Liulang laughed and stepped back to sit cross-legged on the ground: "If I don't dare, I won't take you into the West Market. Wealth, wealth, and insurance, I do this, and a few take the Datang Law back Thing? Come on, pen and ink, what are you trying to mark? "

"I want you to mark all the key points of hidden doors, culverts, wall passages, etc. on this map of Chang'an Square." Cao Poyan said word by word.

Cui Liulang swiftly turned his head as he accepted. The terrain in Chang'an City is intricate, but it's not as simple as 25 roads and streets. There are water and land channels between the squares, there are sandwich walls between the city walls, there are trenches under the bridge, there are sills beside the slopes, how to connect each other into a network, and where to connect, most Changan residents have no idea for a lifetime.

If there is such a complete picture in hand, Chang'an City will be in full control and come and go freely. It seems that the Turks are not small ...

One person took out the skin sac and poured some clean water on the inkstone platform. After a while, he worked out a shallow pool of ink. Cui Liulang licked the tip of the wolf, dipped it in ink, drew a few strokes, and suddenly stopped: "Cao Gong, you are not a Central Plains, and you are not familiar with the cloth. This cloth is not good. This is called a hard yellow cloth, making clothes. Appropriate, but the ink is slightly astringent. It ’s better to buy some rice paper and come back ... "

"You can't leave." Cao Poyan categorically rejected.

Cui Liulang shook his head and raised his pen to start sketching. Just after filling the corner of Chang'an City, he raised his eyes and said, "Changan City is too big, and if it's not big or small, it can't be painted in three days and three nights. Cao Gong, what exactly are you going to do with this picture? I I know what I have in mind, so I will have a detailed description. "

Cao Poyan said: "This has nothing to do with you."

Cui Liulang spread his hands together: "You want me to fill out the whole picture of Chang'an City within two hours, but you won't even use it for anything-sorry, I can't draw."

Cao Poyan heard this string of rhetoric and couldn't help getting furious. He stepped in front of Cui Liulang and reached out to choke his throat.

Cui Liulang hesitated and did not dodge. He knew that the people of Jing'an were outside, and he just shouted, and none of these Turks could run away. But in that way, the previous effort was wasted. He bet that Cao Poyan is just bluffing now, and he wouldn't really start without getting Fang Tu.

As long as you cheat again, you can figure out their real purpose.

Cao Poyan's hand on Cui Liulang's throat suddenly stopped, and Cui Liulang felt relieved that he knew he was betting correctly. Cao Poyan maintained this posture, his head suddenly tilted towards the window, and seemed to be listening in his ears. Cui Liulang was a little nervous. Did the brigade's people carelessly make noise? He quickly asked: "Cao Gong, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything?" Cao Poyan pointed out the window.

Cui Liulang listened, and there was silence outside. He shook his head blankly: "Nothing."

"Yes, there was nothing." Cao Poyan revealed the grin that was unique to the prairie wolf, and his fingers suddenly exerted force. "When I just entered the door, there were obviously many animals nearby, which were very lively, but now there is no sound of Ma Ming. Now. "

Upon hearing this, Cui Liulang's face suddenly changed color, first because of panic, then because of suffocation.

Cui Qi was waiting outside, feeling more uneasy. There was no movement over the warehouse, but he just felt something was wrong. As a veteran, his intuition is often accurate.

He once again used the horizontal knife to look out of the goggles, this time aiming at the window of C6 warehouse. The window is small, and the mirror can only barely see people shaking. Suddenly a figure disappeared in front of the window, and at the same time there was a sound of "dong", it seemed that something heavy fell to the ground.

not good! Cui Qi's heart suddenly stopped beating for a beat, he suddenly withdrew the horizontal knife, and shouted eagerly around: "Broken! Quick!"

The brigade army was already ready in their respective battle positions. When ordered, the eight crossbow arrows were shot from three directions immediately, and the Turk who was guarding the gate was nailed into a hedgehog. At the same time, the two soldiers suddenly jumped up to the wooden steps in front of the door, skimming over the enemies that had just fallen softly, and hit the door hard with thick shoulders.

The bamboo hub cannot withstand the pressure and bursts at once. With a bang, the soldier's body fell inside with the door panel. Behind them, the other two soldiers stepped on their companions without hesitation and rushed into the house. The crossbow in his hand shot at the house for a round, and then quickly stooped down. At this time, the two soldiers lying on the ground had turned over and lifted the door panel to form a temporary wooden shield, protecting them next to their companions, giving them time to crossbow arrows.

This series of movements is so smooth that it seems to have been rehearsed countless times.

The Turks who were closest to them roared and threw them, and suddenly fell to the ground again, making a painful scream. Three longbows were launched in the distance of the inn, and two-foot-long iron arrows accurately passed through the narrow window of the warehouse and pierced their thighs.

This round of offensive won enough time. More soldiers rushed into the warehouse with their crossbows in hand and shouted: "Volvo! Volvo is not killing!"

But the Turks did not seem to understand it, and they rushed out from the corner of the shelf. They chanted Khan's name and rushed over with bare hands. For the soldiers of the brigade army, these people are simply living targets. For a time, the warehouse was filled with the muffled sound of metal rushing into the body and the screams of people.

The soldiers were not in a hurry to advance, and the three of them were covering each other and slowly moving forward. As long as the Turks appeared a little, they were immediately hit by several crossbowmen.

The soldiers were instructed to keep alive as much as possible, so try to target non-critical parts. But these desperate prairie wolves are not afraid of death, and even if they have only one breath left, they must try to fight back. Several soldiers were hesitant because they could not kill the killer, but were injured and even killed in a surprise attack. Even if they are unable to fight back, the Turks will immediately commit suicide without any hesitation.

Soon the house was quiet again, leaving only the corpses lying in between the aisle and the wooden frame. After paying the price of the three soldiers' death, the brigade army finally controlled the entire warehouse.

The soldiers did not relax their vigilance and searched carefully shelf by shelf. Suddenly, a Turk who was lying on the ground jumped up and rushed to the nearest soldier. The soldier was caught off guard and hugged him, and the two were entangled. The Turk opened his mouth wide to bite the soldier's nose, but his movements suddenly stiffened and immediately fell to the ground, with a Qingjinjin crossbow arrow suddenly inserted in the back of his head.

At the end of the aisle, a soldier's companion held an empty-handed crossbow, his arms drooped slowly, his eyes panicked. He should have kept the Turks alive, but the encounter with the robe made him forget the order.

"Fool! How can I teach you!"

Cui Qi grabbed the soldier's crossbow with a slap. His dark face seemed to be covered with a layer of lead gray, dull and dull.

It only took ten fingers to break the door, and all the enemies were wiped out within twenty-six fingers, which was an outstanding achievement among the Beijing guards. But the Turks were so fierce that they didn't leave a living mouth, which was not the result that was wanted above.

Cui Qi paced the aisle with anger, his eyes swept over the corpses, his fingers gripped the handle of the knife restlessly and then loosened. Suddenly he froze for a while, and then quickly took two steps. In front of him was Cui Liulang's body.

His eyes were wide open, and there were obvious finger marks on his neck. He didn't need to be checked to know that he was strangled.

"Brother!"

Cui Qi groaned angrily, kneeling on the floor on one leg, trying to lean over to hug the dead. The two had similar eyebrows, and it was their fellow brothers, but unfortunately one of them could never open their eyes.

"If I could order three fingers earlier ... If I could break the door in person ..." Regret gnawing at Cui Qi's heart like an ant, his fingers trembling violently, he could hardly hold Grandpa's hand.

A soldier of the brigade army ran over and saw the officer like this, so he did not dare to approach. Cui Qi turned his head and asked him what was happening. The soldiers quickly stood upright: "A total of fifteen were counted just now."

Excluding Cui Liulang, a total of sixteen Turks entered the warehouse. That is to say, there is still one person who has not caught it, and after identification, it should be led by Cao Poyan. Cui Qi took a sharp breath and stood up again, his eyes beating with flames.

"Search!" He sullen.

The warehouse is not a home, but a large open room without partitions, with only some wooden shelves in the middle. Cui Qi toured the warehouse a few times and found nothing strange. Such a frank place can be seen through at a glance, where can he hide? Does this guy know what Western demon law can do?

Suddenly, Cui Qi felt a little chilly on the top of his head. He stopped and raised his head, his pupils shrank suddenly. Directly above him, there was a wooden cover the size of a wellhead. The cover was slightly skewed, revealing a clear blue sky.

There is actually a vent!

The top of the C6 warehouse is a cornice structure, so no one thought that the roof would actually have a vent-normally, only a flat-roofed house has such a design.

This is probably a secretly opened mouth by a previous user, which was not reported in the West City Department. Cui Qi scolded a sentence resentfully, instructing the person to take the ladder, and then loaded a crossbow with the arrow removed. Furious did not let Cui Qi lose his mind, this is the last person, be sure to keep alive, otherwise the whole plan will be over.

Now there are brigade soldiers around the warehouse, even if Cao Poyan went to the roof, there was still no way to go, almost equal to catching the turtle in the urn.

Cui Qi was afraid of any more omissions, climbed the ladder himself, and climbed up. Climbing up to the top, Cui Qi was about to push off the wooden cover, and suddenly felt a murderous air. He shrank his head in a hurry, and a piece of hardwood with iron nails flew across his scalp. Without saying anything, raising his hand is a crossbow. Poof, something seemed to sting. Cui Qi was so happy that he crawled up with his hands and feet, but was caught in his left eye by a belt.

This belt is made of cooked cowhide, and its texture is extremely hard. There was a small copper hook on the belt head, and when he pulled it back, he made a long blood on his cheek. The attack spurred Cui Qi's bravery. He did not retreat and retreated. He pulled the belt with his backhand and pulled it hard, and he rushed to the roof.

Before he could stand firm, he felt his belt loose, and apparently the other party let go. Cui Qi lost his balance at once, desperately swinging his arms, and finally stood firm again. At this moment, he heard the sound of a series of footsteps stepping on the tiles, and then leaped loudly, and then came a dull click, and then the sound of water.

This sound is a little weird, unlike falling on the ground. Cui Qi was so anxious that his left eye was sore and swollen and he could not see clearly, but his mind was still awake. He realized that he had made a huge mistake.

Beside the C6 warehouse, there is a Guangtongqu close to the square wall. This ditch widened the water transportation a year ago, specializing in the transportation of Qinling wood, so the ditch has a lot of deep water and a wide boat. This fashion is in the first month, the water channel has not yet been thawed, and it is covered with a thin layer of ice, as flat as Suzaku Avenue, and the water gate has no deployment-Cui Qi ’s previous arrangement, patronizing the landing road, actually ignored this matter Too.

What he heard was the sound of Cao Poyan crashing into the ice and falling into the water.

After the Guangtong Canal flows out of Xishi, it connects Yong'an Canal and Qingming Canal. Long distance canal and Gong Canal are connected further. There are more than 30 Lifangs flowing through it, spanning more than half of the urban area-in other words, as long as Cao After breaking through the dive, you can easily get out of the encircling circle and go ashore anywhere in the city.

Cui Qi can't wait to slap himself, this mistake is really stupid.

In his anxiety, he also leapt forward and jumped into the ditch, but he forgot that he was wearing a heavy light armor, and as soon as his feet touched the ice surface, the ice surface broke with a click, and directly took the brigadier Drag into the water.

Before entering the water, his right eye barely saw that a splash of water was galloping towards the water gate.

There is a high **** wall between the ditch and the warehouse. The soldiers of the brigade army could only go around from the other end, and spent a lot of time, and then they took off their armor and launched into the water, dragging the sergeant ashore with their hands and feet. After such a delay, Cao Poyan had already disappeared at the other end of the water gate.

Cui Qi was rescued on the canal embankment, spitting ice water in a big mouth, and his face was blue. In his hand, he also held a cowhide belt with a copper hook.

This is the only gain in the whole operation.

The atmosphere in Jing'an's hall is as heavy as mercury. Every member is light-hearted and dare not make a sound, fearing to annoy the two disgruntled officers.

No one expected that the hunt for a ten-year-old and nine-forty-nine stable would allow the cooked duck to fly. The raid just now was perfect, but it was pointless, and there wasn't even a living mouth left.

Cui Qi knelt in front of the hall on one leg and was so wet that he couldn't wipe it, and the water droplets became an irregular water mark on the floor. After Cao Poyan fled, he was urgently recalled to Jingan Division. He was anxious to figure out which link was wrong, and Wanglou Qiyu couldn't deliver too complicated news, so he could only run it himself.

Faced with Jing'an Ling and Jing'an Secretary, Cui Qi did not dare to hide, and knelt down on the floor to speak out the whole process one by one, then lowered his head and waited for the trial. The old man brushed off his sleeve and sighed long, "Originally I invited the king to enter the urn, but instead led the wolf into the room ..."

Everyone knows the seriousness of this sentence. That Cao Poyan just showed fierce, cunning and extremely strong instantaneous strain just now. No one can imagine what will happen next when such a conjecture Turkic man breaks into Chang'an City on the eve of the last Yuan Festival.

What's more terrible is that this wolf can almost be said to be brought in by Jing Ansi all the way. If this responsibility is pursued, no one can afford it.

"The humble office has sent people to hunt along the canal." Cui Qi added carefully, hoping to dilute the guilt of his negligence.

The young man Tie Qing put his face on his face and flicked the dust: "What's so good for this person! Do you know how long Guangtong, Yongan, Qingming and Longshou canals are? Go to the Wuhou and Lishou of all the street shops. , The squares are closed, let me search everywhere! "

"Chang Yuan, Fu Chen is not used to smash people." The old man raised his palm and gently and resolutely stopped him. "It's only been half a hour that West City was blocked, and it has been suspected of overstepping the moment. The entire Chang'an City will be disturbed-today is the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival. Now the streets are littered with lights. Your noise is so great that even the saints have to ask. "

The young people still have to argue: "He Jian is not doing anything, but I do n’t know! The 16 people of Cao Poyan are only the last group to enter the city. They have more party feathers already hidden in the city. Intention, I am afraid that this Changan City will have a big disaster! "
