Chapter 14 Escape (2)
The moment he stepped out of the gate of Dongsheng Inn, Li Dali's feeling that had not been there for many years appeared again. He kept staring at the inn opposite without moving, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
As he guessed, the group of people opposite were not the inn shopkeepers at all. Guy, even if they had changed their outer skin, they could not see anything from the outside, but he could still smell the familiar, trembling smell of hawks hidden under his clothes.
Li Dali continued to walk towards the prosperous land of the town with his face unchanged expression, but he felt a little depressed. He knew very well that such a small character was not worth the cost of the group of hawks. The opponent should have just discovered himself accidentally while performing a secret mission.
After spitting hard, Li Dali couldn't help feeling helpless for his bad luck, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel guilty.
In fact, Li Dali had already noticed it before Zhao Qing came to invite Sun Ji yesterday, but his luck made him finally decide to wait and see the situation before making a decision. However, this wait eventually put him in such a dangerous situation.
"I have lived a very comfortable life in the past few years, so my vigilance has become so small. If it were the case before, I would have made up my mind to leave this town when Zhao Qing showed up." Seeing the lively scenes around the street, Li Dali felt quite moved, as if he was regretting his hesitation.
While feeling helpless and regretful, he also couldn't figure out something in his heart. Yesterday, Zhao Qing had nothing unusual before leaving. He believed that he had not revealed any flaws. When the other party arrived, he had already entered the inn and returned to the kitchen in the backyard in time. Zhao Qing should not have looked at him, but why did Zhao Qing carefully ask Sun Ji about the inn at the banquet?
Li Dali didn't think that Sun Ji's speculation that he was coming to poach the enemy was at all possible. It was terrifying. The court hawk who had always been secretive in his work had already surprised Li Dali a little. How could he recruit so-called men from outside?
Li Dali couldn't figure it out. But this did not prevent him from rushing towards crowded places, seemingly slow but unintentionally.
Although he didn't want to provoke these court hawks, he was not Li Dali's personality.
"If you want to catch me, hum, it depends on whether you have the ability?"
...
Yuelai Inn.
Zhao Qing sat at the counter, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the road, and felt inexplicably anxious.
About a quarter of an hour ago, the most suspicious Li Dali in Dongsheng Inn suddenly left the inn and headed towards the town. Although he learned from the surveillance Lishi that the other party seemed to be planning to buy some four treasures of study such as ink, paper and inkstone in order to apologize to Sun Ji, for some reason, Zhao Qing was always a little uneasy in his heart. As Li Dali was reluctant to return, the surrogate Li Shi, who was sent by him to monitor Li Dali's actions, had not returned yet, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually turned into panic.
Although Lu Xiao has been his immediate boss for only a year, this has been enough to make him clearly know the character and methods of this young boss from the capital. He was warned once last night that if something happened again this time, his position as the general flag would be completely settled. Even whether his life can be saved is a big problem. He has not forgotten the scene that Lu Xiao asked for Zhou Guan's head not long ago.
With Lu Xiao's proud personality, he actually lowered his head to ask for help. It was Zhou Guan, a corrupt official who was despised by him before, which is enough to show his importance to this matter.
The more Lu Xiao attached it, the more severe the punishment he would be when something went wrong. Zhao Qing knew this. Thinking of this, Zhao Qing could no longer sit quietly at the counter, stand up, and start to keep pace between the counter and the door. From time to time, he would still stand at the door and look out the door, looking forward to his subordinates' captains and Liss appearing earlier.
But another quarter of an hour passed in a blink of an eye. The departed Li Dali had not returned. No one from the captains and Lishi sent by his subordinates came back to deliver the message. Zhao Qing could no longer suppress the panic in his heart. He quickly called a confidant captain and ordered him to go immediately to find the traces of the subordinates who followed Li Dali, and quickly send a message back.
But before the captain who received his orders took two steps, a Lishi who had been following Li Dali before looked frightened and appeared in Zhao Qing's eyes in a panic, causing his heart to sink immediately.
When you feel bad in your heart, those bad things will always come true.
After hearing the panic and terrified tone of Li Shi told the accident that happened when he followed Li Dali, Zhao Qing's eyes suddenly turned black and his body began to shake, as if he would faint on the ground the next moment.
...
The cunning rabbit has three holes.
As an old man who has had many confrontations with various so-called righteous ways, evil ways, demon ways, white ways and gangsters such as the Jinyiwei, Li Dali was naturally prepared. With his cautious and almost timid personality, he thought of running away with a little disturbance, he naturally could not have been prepared.
Since he came to this town a few years ago and entered Dongsheng Inn to become a chef, Li Dali has begun to prepare for the current situation.
The simplest one is of course the escape overnight. Dongsheng Inn is located at the entrance of the town, which is also the simplest escape plan. However, this plan was destroyed by the spies who mingled into Dongsheng Inn last night. I don’t know when the enemy will end the investigation. At the same time, I don’t know how many people around me are monitoring the situation of Dongsheng Inn. Finally, in order to be on the safe side, I suppressed the idea of escaping overnight and chose to investigate the situation today before making a decision.
Finally, after the spies who had mixed into Dongsheng Inn left, after carefully checking around, Li Dali finally chose the last escape plan - diving to escape.
Xin'an County is backed by the big river. Although the small town in the county is not backed by the big river, there is a large tributary flowing by the town. On weekdays, there are also many merchants coming and going along the water, so the wharf of the town has always been crowded with people.
