Chapter 402 Waiting for a response

At the fourth update of the night, Luoyang City, which should have been quiet for a long time, was extremely noisy at this time.

Countless soldiers holding torches were running and searching the streets, searching for the traces of Han Tao and others.

The Guizhou leaders in their sleep were awakened. They didn't know what had happened and did not dare to go out to investigate. They just hid in the house and guessed that something might have happened.

The gate of the Prince Consort's Mansion, which is usually crowded, has changed its scene at this time.

The door of the mansion was wide open, starting from the door and continuing to every corner of the mansion. The bodies of servants and maids could be seen everywhere.

Blood splattered across the walls, corridors, pavilions and courtyards, making people shocking to see.

In order to search for Han Tao, the imperial guards sent by Zhang Rang and the Northern Army led by Wu Kuang have carried out bloody battles on the Prince-Confucian Mansion twice, and no living person can be found in the mansion.

After the bloody massacre was not found, the troops searched for had left, and the mansion was in a mess and without any hope.

A stone flew into the back garden of the Prince Consort's Mansion, landed on the ground and made a "bang" sound, and then returned to silence without any movement.

A head was poked out from the courtyard wall, and he carefully looked into the garden, and again confirmed that there were only corpses all over the ground, and there were no living people, and this person was Dian Wei.

Dian Wei turned around and whispered to Han Tao under the courtyard wall: "Lord, there is no living person."

Han Tao looked at the two princes Liu Xie and Liu Bian, and looked at Dian Wei and nodded: "Come down, don't climb over the wall, go in through the back door."

After escaping from the palace, Han Tao quickly took action, first took off Liu Bian's chin, and then removed his hands and feet joints, making him unable to struggle and shout, which would make it easier for them to escape.

Liu Xie whispered to Liu Bian along the way: "Don't be afraid, brother, brother is our brother-in-law, he will not really hurt you."

Liu Bian was so scared that he could not speak or move, so he could only let Han Tao and Dian Wei mercy.

Han Tao led Dian Wei and others to run quickly on the street. Not long after, he heard the shouts of pursuers coming from behind.

Han Tao pulled Dian Wei and hid behind the piled goods on the roadside with the two princes, and whispered: "Don't speak out, don't move around!"

Liu Xie nodded vigorously, and Dian Wei also watched Liu Bian. Everyone was careful to hide, listening to the chaotic footsteps outside from far to near, and then gradually faded away.

Han Tao understood that Zhang Rang would definitely arrange for people to search the city and close the various gates of Luoyang.

With his and Dian Wei's ability, if he acted alone, he might be able to break out of the siege and out of the city through strong battles.

But now it is so difficult to even leave the palace with two children, let alone Luoyang. The best way is to try to hide first and then find a way to get out of the city.

But where is the right place for them to hide?

Han Tao's mind turned quickly, and he thought of the safest place.

Zhang Rang will definitely arrange people to go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to search for him. As long as he and Dian Wei temporarily hide near the Prince Consort's Mansion, wait until the soldiers who were searching for him can't find the result and leave.

There will be no one to visit the Prince Consort's Mansion, but instead, it will be the safest place where you can take refuge temporarily.

Han Tao and Dian Wei hid in a hidden place near the Prince Consort's Mansion with two princes. He seized the time to bandage Liu Bian's wounds to prevent his injury from being serious.

After Liu Bian's wound was bandaged, the pain was relieved. Liu Xie was comforting him and slowly calmed down, but Han Tao was still full of hostility in his eyes.

Han Tao didn't care about him, just pricked his ears and listened to the movements of the Prince Consort's Mansion.

His guess was indeed good. Soon there were screams and fighting sounds in the prince-consort's mansion. It lasted for a long time before it was slowly quiet.

However, Han Tao did not dare to act rashly and continued to wait patiently with Dian Wei and others until an hour later, there was no movement in the prince-consort's mansion. This time he took Dian Wei to the backyard to investigate.

Now his prediction has been confirmed again. After the bloodbath of the Prince Consort's Mansion, it has returned to silence and has become the most suitable place to hide.

Han Tao and Dian Wei each entered the garden through the back door with a prince on their back.

Blood and corpses were also everywhere in the garden. Liu Bian and Liu Xie were shocked and nervous.

Han Tao took Dian Wei straight to his room in the backyard, took them in, and closed the door again.

At this time, Han Tao became a little relieved. He knew that it was safe for the time being, but he did not dare to delay or slack off at all.

"Dian Wei, watch them here, don't let them get into trouble." Han Tao reminded Dian Wei and was about to go out.

"Master, where are you going?!" Dian Wei asked worriedly.

"I have to find a way to contact my own people, strive to get a response and find a chance to leave the city." Han Tao briefly explained to Dian Wei, "I will be careful, just be optimistic about them."

Han Tao knew that time was urgent, so he had to contact the Shadow Messenger or Xiyi in the city as soon as possible, so that he could escape with their help.

Han Tao carefully came to the outside of the Prince Consort's Mansion, and left several secret codes of the dead mailboxes to meet in the courtyard walls outside the mansion and the hidden places in the alleys.

He believed that his subordinates in the city knew that something happened to the Prince Consort's Mansion would try to investigate, and he might find the secret code he left behind and respond.

After doing all this, Han Tao returned to his bedroom and truly relaxed.

"Dian Wei, take turns to rest, each person for one hour!" Han Tao gave an order to Dian Wei.

"Lord, I'm not sleepy!" Dian Weiqian gave in.

Han Tao did not argue with Dian Weiduo, and ran for a night, but he was already exhausted.

Han Tao picked up Liu Xie and Liu Bian and placed them on both sides of his body. The three of them lay side by side on the bed.

After everything was arranged, Han Tao closed his eyes, and he was so tired that he quickly fell asleep...

...

Outside Luoyang City, Han Chong and Ma Yuan came to the dark with Wen Su, several black armored soldiers and Pan Rui.

They saw the city gates closed from a distance, and countless torches lit up on the city wall, adding countless soldiers to patrol and explore the city wall.

"Zishan, why is this happening?" Ma Yuan looked at the city front and asked Han Chong in surprise.

Han Chong looked ahead, but a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that my judgment is correct, my brother should have really escaped."

"How do you know? Maybe it's just to prevent us from entering the city?" Ma Yuan asked a little disbelief.

"Brother Ma, if you are guarding against us, those soldiers should pay more attention to the situation outside the city."

But if you look closely, they are paying attention to the direction in the city, which is clearly because they are afraid that someone will escape from the city.”

Based on his observations, Han Chong explained his judgment to Ma Yuan.

"Then we have to find a way to enter the city gang boss, but now the city gate is closed and there are so many soldiers watching on the city wall. How can we get in?" Ma Yuan asked Han Chong anxiously.
