Chapter 2123 Hiding

"Don't worry about the assassins. You Zeyun is in charge." Duan Wanming said, "Just keep an eye on the eldest prince."

"Yes, Dad."

On the other side, the search for Hou Zhong is still in progress.

"Have you seen any injured strangers appear?"

"Returning to the military masters, the civilian women did not see them."

"Really? That's an imperial prisoner. If you hide it, you will turn around."

"Returning to the military masters, the civilian women really...really didn't see it."

"Hmph, if you see it, report it immediately."

"Folk women know."

"Let's go!"

...

Hou Zhong, who was hiding in the cellar, listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther in his ears, and his face relaxed a little. However, because of his injury, his face looked very ugly.

This is already the fourth wave of troops that came to search during this period. Hou Zhong avoided being discovered because he hid in the cellar, but judging from the intensity and eagerness of those people's searches, it was certain that they would not find him if they did not find him. He will not give up. If he stays in this cellar, he will be discovered sooner or later.

but......

Hou Zhong looked at the wound on his body and frowned slightly. Although he immediately treated and bandaged the wound after being injured yesterday, due to limited conditions, his treatment could not be too good, and the wound had not been completely treated. Until now Not only did the wound not heal, it even continued to deteriorate, and this obviously affected his strength. Today, his strength is less than half of what he was at his peak. In this state, it is difficult to break through.

The defenders in the city were already searching so closely, so there must be more guards at the city wall. There was no need to think about it.

What worries Hou Zhong even more is that if his wounds are left untreated, the longer the delay is, the greater the damage will be to the body and the more limited the strength he can exert. Therefore, even if he hides here, he will always be very vulnerable. Fortunately, he was not discovered by the defenders in the city, and he did not have the strength to break out. In the end, he could only be trapped here.

At this moment, the door on the cellar was opened, and the woman walked in. She first looked at her husband who was held hostage by Hou Zhong, and then said to Hou Zhong tremblingly: "Sir... Your Excellency, they After leaving, the peasant woman didn’t say anything. Look, did she let the head of my family go?”

"No!" Hou Zhong rejected the other party's request without thinking. How could he let the hostage go before he was out of danger? If he lets them go, he is afraid that his position will be exposed in the next second.

"Sir, we are all ordinary people. Please let us go in large numbers."

"Yes, sir, we promise not to snitch. Sir, just be generous and let us go."

...

The couple cried and begged to Hou Chong, looking very pitiful.

However, who is Hou Zhong? His heart has long been as hard as iron, how could he be shaken by this scene?

"Okay, stop crying!" Hou Chong said coldly: "If you go do something for me again, I will let your husband go."

When the woman heard this, she quickly asked, "What's the matter? Sir, please give me your orders."

"Go to the drug store and buy medicine for me." Hou Zhong said.

If he wants to heal his injuries, he must have medicine. Otherwise, his injuries will become more and more serious, and his life may even be in danger in the end.

Therefore, this medicine must be bought.

But Hou Zhong cannot buy this medicine by himself.

First, he was injured and had difficulty moving. If he went out, he would be easily discovered by the army in the city.

Secondly, Duan Wanming would probably send someone to guard the drug store while he went to buy the medicine himself, which would be no different from throwing himself into a trap.

Therefore, this medicine can only be bought by this woman.

"Okay, I promise you, if you want to buy any medicine, I will go there now." The woman responded quickly.

Her husband was a hostage in the hands of Hou Zhong, and she had to obey Hou Zhong's orders.

"I will tell you the medicine I need." Hou Zhong said, "However, I want to remind you that you can't buy all the medicine I need at one drug store. You have to go to several drug stores to buy it separately. Do you understand? "

"Why?" the woman asked subconsciously.

Now she just wants to buy medicine and come back as soon as possible, and send away the evil star Hou Zhong. Naturally, she doesn't want to waste more time. Who knows if there will be any accidents if she delays for a long time.

"You do what I tell you to do. Don't talk nonsense. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about." Hou Zhongyin said with a stern face.

People in the city lord's palace are well aware of the fact that Hou Zhong is injured. They will probably send people to keep an eye on the medicine shop. Even if Hou Zhong doesn't buy the medicine himself, buying this kind of medicine to treat arrow wounds at this sensitive time is It is easy to arouse suspicion. Hou Zhong did not want the woman to be identified because of buying medicine, thus exposing his whereabouts. Therefore, he ordered the woman to buy the medicines he wanted separately. Once you come, it will be much safer.

Of course, he would not explain these things to this woman. After all, he did not believe this woman at all, or in other words, he did not believe anyone. His profession destined him to be a cautious and suspicious person. .

"Yes, I understand, I'll go right away."

When Hou Zhong said this, the woman immediately did not dare to say anything more. She also realized that knowing too many things may not be a good thing.

After that, the woman went to buy medicine. When he saw the soldiers coming and going on the street, he also thought about whether to inform him. After all, Hou Zhong was not a good person at first glance. She also knew very well that the people in the city were looking for It's Hou Zhong, and to be able to make such a big fuss, Hou Zhong is definitely not an ordinary person, and he is definitely very dangerous.

But after some hesitation, the woman gave up the idea, because her husband was still a hostage in Hou Zhong's hands. If she informed him, Hou Zhong might be caught or even killed, but her husband would probably be buried with him. .

Therefore, after some hesitation, she still did not go to inform him. Instead, she followed Hou Zhong's request and carefully went to several pharmacies to buy the medicine that Hou Zhong needed.

Sure enough, Hou Zhong's arrangement prevented the woman's identity from being revealed. Although there were soldiers watching secretly at each drug store, because of the medicine the woman bought, just looking at it alone could not tell much. , so no one saw the woman's true purpose, and naturally no one doubted her, let alone followed her.

Soon, the woman returned home with the medicine. Hou Zhong checked it and after making sure it was correct, he asked the woman to boil the medicine, while he continued to hide it in the cellar.

As long as his injuries are treated, Hou Zhong will be confident that he can leave here safely.
