Chapter 258: Late Night Fire

It has been two days since the army surrounded Elephant Trunk Mountain, but the Lord Garrison has not yet launched the order to attack the cave.

If it was according to Xiao Xiaohan's temperament, he would have slapped him three times on the oak tree, and a fierce man pierced into the hole to find the South China tiger Lao'er to fight it out. But the coach here is Master Mi, and if the adult doesn't give orders, Xiao Xiaohan doesn't dare to act without permission. Besides, Mi-sama must have his arrangement.

In this way, Xiao Han went to ask his father-in-law, Master Mi Garrison, when will he start attacking?

Master Mi looked at Xiao Han and said:

"Xiao Han is in a hurry? Actually, I'm more anxious than you, seeing that the prey is right in front of me, who isn't in a hurry to start? However, if the cave door can be opened, what will happen after it is opened, no one knows now, don't forget the two hundred white bones lying in the ancient castle. ”

Xiao Xiaohan understood, my father-in-law was worried that there would be news of an ambush in the cave, what kind of hidden weapons and so on, but how could that small cave be compared to that huge castle? Even if there are hidden weapons in the small cave, how many hidden weapons can there be?

He explained to Master Mi that the cave at the cliff on the back slope of Elephant Trunk Mountain was originally excavated by hand, and this mountain was made of hematite structure, and the cave would not be too big or too deep.

The father-in-law smiled coldly at Xiao Han and replied:

"Xiao Han, you can't think of such a contemptuous enemy. You have succeeded in cultivating and refining qi, but when it comes to the six and five theories of marching and fighting, you are still not satisfied, so you can say that this offensive tactic cannot be launched at any time, and there must be a prerequisite. Knowing that we haven't done it yet, isn't it risky to attack?"

After hearing this, Xiao Han felt that what his father-in-law said was very reasonable, so he sat down and listened to what the adults said.

The garrison said that the South China Tiger had received a box of food the night before, and it was not clear how much water there was in the cave, at least there were two people in the cave, and a box of food was enough for them to eat for a few days? At most, after three days, their stomachs would be in front of them, and if they didn't come out in another three days, they would have to wait for someone else to collect the body.

But the South China Tiger will never sit still, he will break through at the right time and open a bloody road, at that time, my father-in-law and I will see your Xiao Xiaohan's ability.

When Xiao Xiaohan heard this, he dared to love his father-in-law is a soldier coming to the city, and the siege tactics were there. The South China Tiger will definitely not sit still, and will definitely choose the right time to rush out, and then it will be a bloody battle - haha, a bloody battle, hurry!

Xiao Xiaohan said:

"That's good, I'll sit down at the door of the cave and wait for the South China Tiger to break down. ”

Mi shook his head and said to him:

"You don't need to guard the door, even if the South China Tiger dares to rush out, the strong bow and crossbow I arranged are enough to send him to the western sky. But there is one thing, when Robelle was interrogated at that time, he only said that the South China Tiger had hidden in the Luo family manor, and he didn't know anything else. Now it seems that he was sloppy with the garrison yamen, concealing that he was still secretly in contact with the South China Tiger, and this matter of sending food was originally arranged by his Robele, but he asked Gao Qiu's men to send it, which was originally a deflection of attention. Now in addition to knowing that Baylor and Gao Qiu have colluded together, they also have to guard against their next move, the South China Tiger has become a turtle in an urn and is about to be trapped to death, they will not care, sooner or later there will be an action. ”

Xiao Xiaohan asked:

"Do you want to be more vigilant against them?"

Master Mi nodded, and called three servants with good kung fu, and asked Xiao Han to lead him to hide near the well house one mile away due north, saying that it was the only way for Xianning to reach the manor, and if he found a suspicious person, he would arrest him immediately.

Xiao Han received the order and set off to the area of the well house to choose the terrain and start a hidden ambush.

It was night, and the northwest wind that was gradually rising did not mean to stop, and it was gradually increasing, and it was whining all over the sky.

Although it is the south of the Yangtze River, it lacks rain and dew in the middle of winter, and although the plants are still green, they have also shown relative dryness and withering.

In the city, every time the watchman struck a bamboo pole or a gong, he shouted loudly:

"City dwellers, watch out for fire!"

In fact, the one who is most reluctant to listen to this warning should be Luofu Baylor, his main building since that time was buried in the sea of fire, every time he hears the word fire, he will be frightened, once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope!

Xiao Xiaohan and the four of them each found a suitable place to lurk, and after nightfall, everyone's eyes widened, closely watching the movements around them.

In the second half of the night, the northwest wind blew stronger and stronger, blowing the valley gray after the night, and not only the wind speed increased, but also the wind direction began to change, sometimes northwest, sometimes due north, sometimes northeast.

Suddenly, there was a nightingale's chirp in the night sky, this was an alarm from a servant, in fact, Xiao Xiaohan had already noticed it, and there were two black shadows moving from time to time in the mountain col in the northwest area.

The four of them immediately became vigilant, they really said anything, Master Mi asked them to guard against suspicious people, and this suspicious person really appeared.

The place where the suspicious person appeared was a small road, and the path led directly to the main road in front of them, that is, they had to pass through it if they wanted to enter the manor.

The two men were cautiously walking, looking very sneaky, and gradually approached the well room.

The four lurking men are ready to be apprehended as soon as they arrive.

But the two ghostly men did not come towards the well, but turned and went into a wood, and showed their heads in the grass at the edge of the woods.

It's not good, Xiao Xiaohan seems to understand the purpose of those two people, because that piece of grass is in the north of the manor's Elephant Trunk Mountain, and they must have a plan there.

Xiao Xiaohan let out a whistle, and the four of them immediately rushed into the woods, passed through it, and approached the grassland.

"Fire!" exclaimed one of the servants, who saw that the two men had already raised their torches in their hands, and if they threw themselves at the grass, the fire would immediately burst into flames.

"Kill him!" Xiao Xiaohan gave an order, since ancient times, killing, arson, and poisoning are capital crimes, and now it is not enough for the people to be angry not to kill the arsonists who came to set fire.

The nearest servant of the two men raised his sword, and the knife slashed at the arm of one of the men who was holding the torch, only to hear a terrible howl, and the torch fell to the ground, and the other guards hurried up to extinguish the fire.

The remaining person had fallen into Xiao Xiaohan's hands, and with just one palm, he knocked the person to the ground, and the palm wind had already extinguished the flame lit on the torch.

They could already smell the disgusting smell of tung oil coming from the grass. This oil is used to paint furniture, but it is extremely flammable and ignites when it gets on fire.

The current situation of the two arson has been revealed, leaving two servants to guard the grass to prevent a resurgence, Xiao Han escorts the two arsonists back to the manor.
