Di Qingbu had already killed and injured most of the bandits led by "Ghost Sorrow", so he left a few alive and asked them to lead the officers and soldiers to Heifeng Village.

These bandits were already frightened, and they regarded the officers and soldiers as heavenly soldiers and generals, and muskets and grenades as thunder and fire from the sky, thinking that they had been sent by God to punish their evil deeds. So he paused and fell to the ground, willing to lead the way for the recruits of Di Qing's department.

Di Qing and his entourage bid farewell to Cao Linshou, and Cao Linshouton had already prepared the reward funds, and at this time he invested 100,000 yuan (10,000 yuan) to reward the guards.

Di Qing didn't do any twisting on the spot, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver the property, and then the two sides parted ways, he first sent ten soldiers to escort the money and goods to the camp;

After that, he led his army towards the mountain bandits' lair "Black Wind Village".

Soon Di Qing led his troops to the Black Blind Ditch, and he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire on the mountain, as well as the rumbling explosion of grenades, and he knew that Gao Wenhuan's troops had already engaged the bandits in close combat.

He speculated for a while, and suddenly felt that his team drove over, and it was just the icing on the cake, and he had to do just an inch;

He felt that the mountain bandits would generally be "cunning rabbits and three holes", there must be a hidden way to escape, and there would definitely be big fish that slipped through the net from Gao Wenhuan.

He was immediately overjoyed when he thought of this, and he hurriedly ordered someone to bring these surviving bandits to him and began to interrogate them.

I heard him ask a one-eyed bandit, "Do you know if there is a hidden escape passage in the Black Wind Village?" If you behave well, I will ask the official to pardon your innocence. ”

The one-eyed dragon hurriedly said: "General, I was originally a pawn in the village, and I don't know much about the secrets in the village; But I know that there is a cave in the village, which is well guarded to prevent idle people from approaching; Our owner often went into the cave when he was worried, and he didn't come out after entering it a few times, and I suspected that there must be an exit from the cave connected to the outside. ”

He pondered for a while, and then added: "When I went to the back mountain to patrol the mountain, I found a hidden cave, I don't know if it is the exit of the cave in the village. ”

Di Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked him to lead the way to the back mountain, he had an intuition that it was possible to catch a big fish this time.

It is said that Gao Wenhuan is meditating, thinking about how to break through the cave in front of him, and just wants to annihilate the stubborn bandits.

At this time, his deputy Pan Liangzuo said: "Gao Guangyao, I came up with a method, let's take a look, I thought of a childhood game at this time, that is, digging mouse holes in the farmland, we have also played together, we first flooded the method, followed by digging soil and digging holes, the most fun is the method of using fire to smoke it." ”

Gao Wenhuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Pan Liangzuo and said, "You mean the method of fire attacking smoke?" ”

After hearing this, Pan Liangzuo's face suddenly showed a "teachable" appearance, which made Gao Wenhuan a little crying and laughing.

Gao Wenhuan immediately sent someone to collect dry firewood, and asked him to collect some smoke-emitting things, and a group of soldiers found a large number of dried dogwoods in the kitchen, and after collecting them, they also brought them back.

Gao Wenhuan sent people into the cave, first sent people to throw a few grenades inside, destroyed all the traps and mechanisms at the entrance of the cave, and pushed nearly 100 meters inside, and saw that the cave suddenly became empty, but dozens of holes appeared inside, which made people dizzy and dazzled;

When a man stands in the open cavern, he perceives the wind blowing on all sides; The crowd did not dare to move forward for a while, for fear of getting lost inside, and also to prevent the bandits from sneaking up.

Gao Wenhuan hurriedly ordered someone to pile up firewood, and then lit it, and from time to time a raging fire was ignited, the flames were like a whirlwind, and it seemed like a demonic aura was circling, and the swaying flames were like monsters, with some hideousness; It was like a fire demon opening its bloody mouth, with thick smoke and scorching heat, mixed with wanton whistling, and suffocating gases burning rapidly, making a crackling sound.

Gao Wenhuan asked the soldiers to put smoke into the fire, and saw that the smoke gradually rose, filling the entire cave from time to time, although Gao Wenhuan and others put a wet towel on their mouths and noses, but they were still coughed by the smoke that swirled, especially the spicy smell of the dogwood, which made everyone cry.

At this time, I saw that there were also many coughing sounds from many holes inside, and from time to time I saw many people fleeing from their hiding places in confusion, and they were immediately arrested by the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. A total of no less than 200 absconding bandits were captured.

In the end, the fire gradually died down, and the ashes were extinguished, and Gao Wenhuan escorted the bandits out of the cave, and then began to raid the house of Heifeng Village, and finally learned where it was hidden under some torture.

In addition, the officers and men of the new army also tried their best to thunder the means, except for women and children, the people in the village did not leave a living mouth, and they were all killed on the spot, and they all cut off their heads to fill the military merits.

At this time, the deputy leader of the Black Wind Gang, Xin Worm Niang, led the backbone of the gang and began to escape from the secret passage to the other exit outside the cave.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, I arrived at the exit of the cave, but I also saw that the smoke also followed out of the cave and drifted far away with the wind. They jumped for joy, rushed upwind, and then took a big breath of fresh air.

While they were dancing and celebrating the aftermath of the catastrophe, they heard shouts from all around: "Bold bandits, surrender immediately, surrender your guns and don't kill them." ”

They were immediately stunned, looked around blankly, and saw that they were surrounded, and they were surrounded by a group of soldiers in green clothes and green pants, who should be in the same group as the soldiers who attacked the cottage.

They suddenly looked like ashes, and there was a sense of frustration that they had just escaped from the tiger's mouth but fell into the wolf's den, and then Xin Worm Niang quietly moved to the entrance of the cave, and then shot a dart at the soldier guarding the entrance of the cave, and immediately knocked the soldier to the ground.

She was immediately overjoyed, and then she rolled on a donkey, and rushed towards the mouth of the cave at a gallop, and was about to enter the cave in a moment.

But seeing that it was dark in front of her, it was like a wall suddenly appeared in front of her, and she didn't have time to stop, and suddenly crashed into this wall, and it was like opening a musical instrument shop, and gongs, drums, cymbals and cymbals sounded in unison.

I saw that she fainted as soon as she rolled her eyes, and a thought flashed in her mind at this time: "Why is this wall soft, as if it has hit someone." ”

This person is Di Qing, he took the bandits as a guide, and arrived at the back mountain of Heifeng Village, at this time he had already seen the mouth of the cave with thick smoke, and immediately asked people to surround it.

In fact, he had already noticed this woman in a strong suit, and he saw that these fleeing bandits seemed to respect her, but a big fish;

He also discovered her intention to escape, and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave, blocking her in front of her at once, sealing her escape path.

Di Qing caught a bandit, interrogated him, and learned the identity of this female bandit leader from his mouth.

Di Qing suddenly felt relieved, in this operation to suppress the bandits, the military department under his jurisdiction took the lead, that is, he killed the bandit leader "ghost sorrow", and then captured the deputy gang leader and a group of backbone figures of the bandits.

At this time, Di Qing searched Xin Worm Niang, he first touched her waist, and first found a bronze medal, with a flying eagle painted on the front and Khitan characters written on the back, Di Qing also knew the text on it, which read "Da Liao Flying Eagle Wei Honghualang";

He was taken aback, and his intuition told him that this woman was destined to carry the great secret and mission of Da Liao. He felt that he needed to interrogate her and dig deep into the confidential information she was carrying.

Then he found another sachet, which was bulging inside, as if there was something, and he opened it and searched it, and saw that there was a piece of Kodama pendant inside, which was still half a piece, but his face was strange at this time, and he was shocked at first, and then he was puzzled.

I saw that he also took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, which was almost exactly the same as Xin Worm Niang's jade pendant, whether it was from the style of the jade pendant or the pattern, it was no different.

Di Qing put the two jade pendants together, and the two jade pendants were tightly combined into a circular whole, and a complete jade pendant was displayed in front of his eyes.

He was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but his eyes gradually turned red, and he looked at Xin Worm Niang, and saw that he began to tear from the root of her ear, and from time to time he tore off a whole mask from her face; I saw her with her beautiful eyes closed, her eyebrows crooked, her small nose slightly upturned, her face like white jade, and her face like a morning flower.

But he could still vaguely distinguish what she looked like as a child, and his knowledge of her was still stuck eleven years ago, when he was six years old and she was four years old; He and her childhood sweetheart, fingertips for marriage, with this can be divided into two halves of the mandarin duck jade pendant as evidence, each holding half a piece, as a token; He used to live with her, he played the husband, she played the lady, accompanied day and night, and got along day and night.

Suddenly, a catastrophe originated from the invasion of Western Xia, and the war destroyed their homes and separated their relatives;

At that time, the two of them flew apart, and there was no news, only the jade pendant in his arms still left him some good memories and thoughts.

Di Qing was uncertain and restless at this time, not knowing how to face his fiancée.

In the past 11 years, the stars have changed, things have changed, and things have changed.

But in the depths of my heart, there are some endless and haunting things, and in retrospect, warm, astringent, sour...

Every year, he pays attention to the homing swallows, "The returning swallows don't know where they go, and they still live under the old eaves." ”

Maybe you can still see these swallows today next year, but what about yourself, not only is it as simple as a year older, some things have changed unconsciously, it may be unexpected, and it should be reasonable.

People are by no means as simple as swallows, and many people are complicated after experiencing ups and downs, and they may not even be able to explain themselves. As for him, he also limits himself to what others see him as he is.

When the swallow is gone, there will be a time to come back, but what about the people? The world is far away, and the world is close at hand. Everyone is walking their own path in a hurry, and they also have their own hearts, calculations, and learn to adapt.

He and she are far away from each other's lives, and the sudden encounter may be a surprise, or a confusion.

Di Qing's mind was in a mess at this time, and he suddenly lost the joy of exterminating the Black Wind Gang, and he was in a state of anxiety and confusion at this time.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers to return to the camp, and he carried Xin Worm Niang to the car, completely ignoring the doubts of his subordinates, and ignoring the fingers and fingers of those who did not know the truth.
