As dusk approaches, the sunset is setting and the sky is dark, but the chaos in Tokyo is far from fully calming down. Several houses and shops that were deliberately set on fire are still emitting thick smoke, and there are soldiers and people around to take out the fire, so they are busy. On the streets further apart, there are many innocent wounded people who have lost their breath or are still crying for pain. When you look at it, you can find hundreds or thousands of people.

In addition to the abandoned and trampled things on the ground, there were also scary bloodstains dragging them everywhere, showing all the new soldiers who had just arrived how tragic the scene that just happened here was. The heavy bloody smell made people feel sick, and even the full moon that had just emerged from the thick clouds brought a terrifying blush.

The inner city, especially the East City area, is constantly in war. As long as someone with unknown origin is hit by them, they will not have to talk too much and will be taken down on the spot. The elite troops of the anti-threat army who have been quite friendly since entering Tokyo finally showed their sharp minions today.

After half a day, they finally completely quelled the chaos, controlled the entire Dongcheng, and arrested and killed hundreds of thugs on the spot. But even so, they still did not relax at all. From time to time, teams of open flames and gunmen walked past the streets and alleys, searching every corner, and refused to let go of the most inconspicuous corners.

The reason why they had such a behavior was that until now, the whereabouts of the most critical criminal, Cai Jing, had not been found. Yes, since the chaos in the field, Cai Jing and others were rescued by the murderer hidden in the crowd, although the soldiers had responded the fastest, and under the siege of the troops, they had surrounded everyone and surrounded the Dongcheng area and captured the vast majority of the criminals represented by Liang Shi alive, but Cai Jing and his family still had to escape the net. Until now, they had not found any clues. They could only search carefully in the area of ​​several miles. When they could not say that they had to search door to door. After all, Cai Jing's identity was too critical and he would never escape from the city.

When the soldiers searched around for the whereabouts of Cai Jing and others, they didn't know that the person they were looking for was just under their noses, just half a street away from the execution ground, in a small and inconspicuous house. If someone found this place and then looked up the identity and origin of the household owner, they would find that this was a honest and honest businessman who had been in Tokyo for many years. Not to mention that he had nothing to do with the noble Grand Master Cai, he could not even recognize two officials. He was just an ordinary citizen who could not be more ordinary.

But in fact, this is one of Cai Jing’s many secret hiding places, and it is also where he hides in this time. The so-called cunning rabbit’s three holes, the most dangerous place, is the safest place.

At this time, Cai Jing had been removed from his shackles and replaced with blood-stained prison clothes. Some wounds were also treated urgently. But he still seemed absent-minded and sat in a secret room in the backyard. For a long time, he almost didn't even move his eyes.

It was not until the door of the secret room suddenly opened that he trembled slightly and looked over, but it was one of his close guards beside him, Liao Yuan. This made him feel a little relieved and said slowly: "How is it, has the situation changed outside? Jiuer's men have attacked the city, and why hasn't there been any news from Cai Xuan?"

Liao Yuan only pondered for a moment before whispering: "Taishou, the rebels' reaction was faster than we thought. They quickly moved from all directions to completely encircle the Dongcheng, and the others could not escape at all. Although this chaos caused quite a lot of turmoil and killed some people, the rebels had stabilized the situation and many people had been arrested again. I heard that even Taifu Liang was captured by them alive. Cai Xuan's side had not seen anyone come back after so long. I am afraid that it would be a good fortune and fall into his plan."

These bad news made Cai Jing's body shake again, and he said after a while: "So, are they prepared this time?"

"It should...it should be like this." Liao Yuan lowered his head: "It's really unreasonable to think about this matter now. There is no need for Sun Tu to announce the execution of the Grand Tu in such a hurry, and also announced that the whole city would attract countless people to come. This is clearly giving us a chance to rescue you..."

Although he suffered a lot and was extremely weak, Cai Jing's mind was still sharp and he immediately understood what was going on: "Do you suspect that all this was a trap exposed by Sun Tu's attack? So they could immediately make the most correct reaction, so I'm afraid Jiuer outside the city had also failed?" In the end, his already pale face was so white that there was no blood.

Liao Yuan did not tell the terrible result directly, but said tactfully: "At least until now, there has been no sudden attack in Tokyo. The Grand Master, the current plan, can no longer counterattack according to the previous strategy, but should think about escaping from here safely. However, this is not too difficult. There is a secret passage in the west corner of the yard that directly leads to the Xinsong Gate in the east. Taking advantage of the darkness, the little one has a way to send you out of the city." As he spoke, he took a step forward and planned to help Cai Jing leave.

But when his hand touched Cai Jing, the latter sat upright and shook his head bitterly: "Do you think I can still escape?"

"Taishu, we dug up this secret passage for nearly ten years, and it is the most secret, but only a few people know it. There are also our people guarding the gate tonight, which is enough to let you leave safely." Liao Yuan explained quickly. But his words did not win over Cai Jing's heart, and he still shook his head: "I don't doubt your arrangements, but even if I really escape from Tokyo, will I still be where I am Cai Jing stay? Since Sun Tu has calculated everything, I am not afraid that I will escape from Tokyo, because he knows very well that as long as I, Cai Jing, leave me, will it be no different from the dead. The court will soon issue pictures of the wanted me, and I can escape from Tokyo. Can I still escape from the Song Dynasty?"

"Trial Master..." Liao Yuan felt the despair from Cai Jing, and for a moment he didn't know how to persuade him.

Cai Jing looked at him deeply again: "What's more, there are you. With the arrest of others, you will soon surface. At that time, the world is so big that you will not have a place to stay. I am old. Even if you are captured by Sun Tu, it would not be too unfair to be killed by Sun Tu. But you are still young after all, and you can't be implicated by me."

When Liao Yuan heard this, he was suddenly moved and finally couldn't bear it. He suddenly knelt down and cried: "Trial Master, you treat villains like nephews. Even if we are crushed to pieces, it will be difficult for us to repay the kindness of the Grand Master. Today, the villains will definitely send you and the two young masters out of the city safely, even if they fight for this life, they will do whatever they want!" At the end, his words became more and more firm. He took two steps to his knees and grabbed Cai Jing's arm: "Please ask the Grand Master to go with me. It's not too late, so you can't delay it."

Cai Jing's face was a little entangled, but he finally helped him up: "Okay, since you are loyal, I must not be ungrateful. But you have to remember that when you really encounter danger, you must not lose your life in vain to protect me."

Liao Yuan did not agree, but helped Cai Jing quickly leave the secret room and walked out. He soon got together with dozens of people with a look of panic on his face, and then protected by these slaves and headed towards the secret passage in the backyard.

The entrance to this secret passage was a well, but it opened the entrance to one side of the well. People had to be sent to a certain distance with ropes before they could find the entry. Under the reflection of a few torches, they quickly took action. First, a few subordinates rushed in and explored the way, and then Liao Yuan protected Cai Jing into a bamboo basket and slowly put him inside.

But just as Cai Jing was trembling, a whistle suddenly sounded at the outer courtyard wall. Then, torches lit up on three sides at the same time, illuminating the small courtyard like daylight, exposing dozens of people working here to the sudden rise of the arrows of thousands of soldiers holding bows and crossbows. The shiny arrows in the torches made everyone's hearts cold and their bodies were weak, causing them to fall.

Cai Jing was in this awkward position, and his old face was filled with despair, and his bitter smile climbed onto his cheeks: "Sure enough... it's still impossible to escape your investigation here..."

While speaking, a scream sounded from the outside, and a rumbling footsteps came quickly, but another group of soldiers rushed straight into the yard from the main gate. Soon, Tang Feng, who was covered with blood on his face, walked into the yard with great strides. Looking at Cai Jing who was hanging from the wellhead, he smiled coldly: "Master Cai really asked me to wait for it, but he actually chose such an inconspicuous place. Fortunately, my brothers from the Imperial City Division handed over the relevant information in time, so that you didn't let you escape from the city like this, but I got a lot of credit."

"Brothers, it's time to repay the great kindness of the Grand Master for many years. Come with me!" Liao Yuan suddenly shouted loudly at this moment, then he reeled, and there was a soft sword in his hand, and the man rushed out like a bird, killing Tang Feng, who was only two feet away from him.

At the same time, dozens of other good men cultivated by Cai Jing also shouted in a low voice. All kinds of weapons were displayed and they rushed towards Tang Feng and others who thought they had controlled the situation. They really planned to make the final struggle!
