Saying that, Qianzhao stood up, helped Feng Li to the door, called two sergeants outside, and sent Feng Li back to rest.Then he turned around and returned to the room, cupped his fists and saluted Tao Sheng, and said apologetically, "Brother Tao, Feng Li drank too much today and has been talking nonsense, don't blame him."

Chapter 237

Yan Liangchou led [-] soldiers and hid in a private house not far from the north gate. They were going to rush out and kill every single one of them when Feng Li and Feng Li sent Jizhou soldiers into the city.They were staying with a big family. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they drove everyone to the backyard and locked them up, and sent soldiers to guard them.

Seeing Yan Liang's absent-minded look, Chou asked curiously, "Brother, what's on your mind?"

Yan Liang smiled wryly, and replied: "My lord is really too suspicious. If he thinks that Qianzhao and Feng Li are unreliable, he just needs to dismiss them as guards and replace them with others to guard the north gate. Why bother?" Like now, let the two continue to serve as guards, but secretly send you and me to monitor them? Isn't this superfluous?"

"Brother, be careful!" Although the soldiers walking around in the yard are under the command of Yan Liang and Chou, Chou is still worried that Yan Liang's complaints will reach Yuan Shao's ears. Who knows if any of these people are sent by the lord? spies. "Be careful that walls have ears."

Yan Liang, who was reminded by Chou, hurriedly cupped his hands at him: "Thank you for reminding me, brother!"

"Brother," Chou always obeys Yan Liang's words, and he is the only one to follow in many things.Regarding the ambush at the north gate, he still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked curiously: "Do you know when Jizhou soldiers and horses will enter the city?"

Regarding the ugly question, Yan Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, brother." He paused for a moment, then said again. "Qianzhao's expression is calm in front of the lord. Either there is no ghost in his heart, or he has already considered the countermeasures. Brother Wei thinks that our ambush is useless."

"No way." Chou heard Yan Liang finished speaking, and immediately asked back: "Could it be that Feng Changshi and Mr. Simpi couldn't see the slightest flaw in Qianzhao?"

"Feng Changshi kept saying in front of the lord that Qianzhao and Feng Li colluded with the Jizhou army, but there was no real evidence. The only small school who knew the inside story was also killed by Qianzhao." Yan Liang sighed. Said: "Now there is no proof of death."

"In my opinion, it must be that Xiaoxiao saw through the conspiracy of Qianzhao and Feng Li and reported it to Feng Changshi. After being discovered by Qianzhao, he murdered and silenced him." Chou said in a positive tone: "I think That's how it must have been."

"Even if we know that he killed someone to silence him, there's nothing we can do about it." Yan Liang said casually, "It's getting late, you and I should rest early."

"Jizhou soldiers and horses will enter the city at some point." Hearing what Yan Liang said, Chou was a little anxious: "If they rush into the city while you and I are asleep, won't it be a delay?"

"I'll let you rest, so you can go to bed with peace of mind." Seeing that the ugly didn't listen to him, Yan Liang said with some displeasure: "When did my brother hurt you? Maybe no one will open the door to let the Jizhou army go tonight." Entering the city, what is the point of you and me sitting here?"

"There will be no Jizhou army entering the city?" Yan Liang's analysis made Chou puzzled, but he had always been very obedient to Yan Liang, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I will find a place to rest first."

The big family that Yan Liangchou was hiding in was surnamed Zhou, and he had some kind of friendship with Feng Li, and they kept in touch with each other in normal times.Seeing a group of ferocious soldiers rushing into the house, Master Zhou immediately sent a confidant to find Feng Li and asked him to lead the soldiers to rescue the siege.Unexpectedly, the entire mansion was surrounded by soldiers, and the servants who reported the news could not get out at all.Seeing the soldiers searching house by house, he quickly hid in the firewood shed in the backyard, planning to sneak out of the house to report the news after dark.

Finally, when it was dark, the servant who was familiar with the terrain tiptoed to the wall and saw that the ladder he had placed at the foot of the wall was still there. Taking advantage of no one around, he quickly leaned the ladder against the wall and climbed up the ladder. After leaving the courtyard wall, he rushed to the city gate to report to Feng Li.

One of the soldiers on guard at night knew this servant, and when he heard that he wanted to find Feng Li, he smiled and said, "Is it your master, who wants to invite Vice General Feng to drink again?" Without saying a word, he went to find Feng Li under the leadership of a soldier.

Seeing that he was familiar with the servants of the Zhou family who came to find him, Feng Li couldn't help asking in surprise: "Ah Fu, what are you doing here?"

The servant called Ah Fu didn't speak, just looked around.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Feng Li quickly waved to the soldiers who brought him, and said, "You have nothing to do here, go down first."

After the soldiers left, Ah Fu knelt down in front of Feng Li, and said in a crying voice, "General Feng, my master is in trouble now, please go and save him."

"What happened?" After all, Feng Li and Master Zhou had frequent contacts, and knowing that something happened to the other party, they naturally had to ignore it, "Tell me quickly!"

"Today, a group of military masters rushed into my house, and drove everyone to the backyard without any explanation, and locked them up. The master ordered the villain to report the news, but the front and back doors of the Zhou mansion were sealed, and the young ones couldn't get out. I can only hide in the woodshed."

"Then how did you leave the Zhou Mansion?"

"The villain hid a ladder in the wall of the backyard," Ah Fu said here, with a shy expression on his face, "It is useful for the villain to meet when he leaves the house at night."

"I'm not interested in your affairs." Before he could finish speaking, Feng Li interrupted him: "Quickly tell me, who are the people who occupy the Zhou Mansion?"

"It should be the officers and soldiers in the city." Ah Fu said in an uncertain tone: "The leader is a man with a big knife. I heard others call him General Yan."

"I see." Although Ah Fu's words were vague, Feng Li still got the information he wanted from him, so he waved his hand at the other party and said, "I'll let someone take you to rest first, as for your master You don’t have to worry about it. I assure you, your master will be safe and sound at dawn tomorrow.”

After settling Ah Fu, Feng Li couldn't wait to see the night watchman, and said to him: "Zijing, Ah Fu, a servant of Master Zhou's family, reported that Yan Liang led his troops to occupy the Zhou mansion. Look, are we Should something be done?"

"What action?" Qianzhao asked back: "Are you still planning to lead troops into the Zhou Mansion and kill Yan Liang who lives there?" Seeing Feng Li nodding his head affirmatively, he snorted heavily and continued. Said: "Don't you know that Yan Liang has the bravery of a man? Under Yuan Benchu's men, except for Chou who can fight him evenly, the rest of them can't go three rounds under his men. Even if you tie a few Together, it is impossible to get rid of Yan Liang."

"Then what should we do?" Seeing that Qianzhao rejected his proposal, Feng Li asked in a panic: "Aren't we doing nothing like now?"

"That's right, under the current situation, we can only maintain the status quo and do nothing." Qianzhao was afraid that Feng Li would be impulsive and really bring someone to Zhou's compound to kill Yan Liang, so he specially told him: "In two days, we will open the door to let the Jizhou army enter the city. Before that, you must not act rashly, otherwise you and I will be killed."

Feng Li was frightened by the words of pulling a move, and he couldn't help but regret his impulsiveness just now.He nodded and said, "Since Zijing said so, then I'll go back to sleep. Anyway, no matter how strong the martial arts of Yan Liang and Chou are, they can't kill you and me."
