The night was shrouded in the mansion where Xi Zhicai was. Qin Feng lurked in the dark, watching the movements around him vigilantly. As Xi Yu's secret guard, he knew very well that the current situation was very critical.

In order to protect Xi Zhicai's safety, Qin Feng decided to take him out of this place of right and wrong.

However, outside the mansion, Sima Yi's eyeliner was monitoring their every move, and they could not leave openly.

They will never give up for a moment, just like hungry wolves looking for food at any time.

Qin Feng quietly sneaked into Xi Zhicai's room and told him the current situation.

Xi Zhicai frowned and said to Qin Feng: "We cannot sit and wait for death, we must leave here as soon as possible. But how can we avoid the surveillance of those eyeliners?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and could not have a better plan.

"The housekeeper can be trusted, and we can let him come over and discuss the specific action plan together." Xi Zhicai said quickly.

When Qin Feng heard what he said, he understood that he had told the butler about the relevant situation. He nodded and immediately asked someone to invite the butler over.

The butler soon arrived at Xi Zhicai's room.

Xi Zhicai told the butler about their plan.

The butler was very happy. As long as the master figured it out, he and Qin Feng had exactly the same idea.

So the three of them began to plan nervously.

They discussed every detail of the action in detail, and carefully arranged from the choice of routes to how to avoid eyeliner surveillance.

The housekeeper made a suggestion.

"We can use the secret passages on the mansion to leave through the secret passages, so that we can avoid eyeliner surveillance."

Qin Feng was particularly happy.

"There are secret passages here?"

Xi Zhicai nodded, that would be the best.

Although Qin Feng was very curious and didn't know what was going on, it would be best if he had it.

I have been worried for a long time. Since there is a secret passage, there is no need to worry particularly.

Xi Zhicai and Qin Feng both thought this suggestion was very feasible, so they decided to act at night and use the secret passage to leave the mansion.

Late at night, the entire mansion was immersed in silence. Xi Zhicai, Qin Feng and the butler quietly left the room and walked along the corridor towards the entrance of the secret passage.

The entrance to this secret passage is in a Buddhist temple.

The mechanism where the secret passage is opened is right behind the direction.

Xi Zhicai quickly opened the mechanism.

Soon, a ground cracked.

They successfully entered the secret passage.

The secret passage was pitch black, and the three of them walked forward step by step with the faint light of torch.

The secret passage winds and turns, as if there is no end.

They groped in the darkness, their hearts filled with tension and expectation. I don’t know how long they walked, but they finally saw the light ahead, which was the exit of the secret passage.

Because Xi Zhicai only knew that there was this secret passage, but he had never really entered it.

The three of them suddenly became a little tired, and Xi Zhicai said, "Why don't we just take a break."

The other two had to sit down.

Xi Zhicai said that he bought this house from someone else.

He once heard a master say that the reason why he used secret passages at that time was to escape.

After resting for half an hour, they continued to go out.

The exit of the secret passage is located in the back mountain of the mansion.

Xi Zhicai, Qin Feng and the butler walked out of the secret passage and felt the air of freedom.

They looked at each other, and their faces were filled with relief. Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Finally, we escaped."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Xi, now we must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to stay."

The housekeeper also agreed.

"I know a place that is relatively hidden and can temporarily avoid Sima Yi's pursuit."

So, under the leadership of the butler, the three embarked on a new journey.

At night, the weather outside is extremely cold.

The cold wind roared through the woods, making a gloomy rustling sound.

Under the moonlight, everything seemed gloomy and weird.

The place the housekeeper mentioned was a cave. The cave was very deep and very warm, so the three of them went in to rest temporarily.

They also have another task, which is how to get out of the city.

And they must go out before dawn, and Xi Zhicai just needs to go out openly.

But don't let Cao Pi's people discover it.

After Qin Feng, Xi Zhicai and the butler took a break in the cave, they decided to leave the city as soon as possible and arrive at the city gate before dawn.

"We have to leave here quickly, there may be more dangers after dawn." Qin Feng said anxiously.

Xi Zhicai nodded.

"Yes, we can't make fun of it anymore, we must arrive at the city gate as soon as possible."

The housekeeper interrupted, "But how do we pass the inspection of the soldiers guarding the city? They will definitely have doubts about us."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Feng said, "We cannot confirm yet whether Cao Pi has arranged someone to monitor us at the city gate, so we can only try our luck."

So the three of them quietly walked out of the cave and headed towards the city gate.

When they approached the city gate, they found that the soldiers guarding the city were undergoing a change of guards.

Qin Feng whispered: "The opportunity is here, let's take advantage of their change of duty."

Xi Zhicai reminded: "Be careful and do not arouse their alertness."

The three of them approached the city gate carefully. When the soldiers' attention was attracted by other things, Qin Feng, Xi Zhicai and the butler took the opportunity to rush over.

"Stop! Who are you?" a soldier asked loudly when he noticed them.

Xi Zhicai quickly replied: "I am Xi Zhicai next to Cao Gong. I go out to do some things under Cao Gong's orders. Do you want to delay the matter?"

He took out a token at the same time.

At this moment, several soldiers believed his words and immediately let them go.

The three of them looked at each other.

It seems that Cao Pi did not arrange for soldiers to stop Xi Zhicai.

Because he has now kept the person at Xi Zhicai's door, he thinks he can't leave.

The three of them left quickly, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief because they finally left Luoyang City.

The three of them planned to find an inn to have a good rest. After all, they ran away all night long, just rested in the cave for a while.

After entering the inn, Xi Zhicai said he wanted to write a letter to Cao Pi.

No matter what, I have been a deserter and I have to say hello.

Qin Feng thought it was unnecessary.

The housekeeper said: "Our master has always paid attention to reputation, so let him write."

In order to avoid being discovered by Cao Pi and sent troops to pursue him, Qin Feng suggested that he wait until he was far away from Luoyang City before writing to Cao Pi.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "No, it's better for you to have the idea. I'm too anxious."

Finally, at dusk, they walked out of a long distance from Luoyang City.

They found another inn.

Xi Zhicai took out paper and pen and prepared to write a letter to Cao Pi.

His brushstrokes were heavy, and his heart was filled with contradictions and struggles.

He wrote: "Mr. Cao, I have always respected you. However, in the face of the current situation, I had to make a difficult choice. After careful consideration, I finally decided to defect to my younger brother Xi Yu..."

His entire letter was written in a particularly touching way, recalling the process of his loyalty to the entire Cao family.

Recalling the relationship between himself and the Cao family.

"I know I will be criticized from now on, but I finally decided to do this and I don't regret it."

Xi Zhicai stopped writing, pondered for a moment and continued to write: "The battle between Xi Yu and you is inevitable, and we will become both hostile parties by then. I hope you can take care of yourself and take care of yourself."

After he finished writing the letter, he sealed it.

Qin Feng looked at Xi Zhicai and asked softly: "Mr. Xi, will you regret it?"
