Yang Wenguang learned the news of Meng Ming's assassination and hurriedly came to visit, and Meng Ming's spirit was also very good at this time.

Meng Ming said to Yang Wenguang: "Brother Pingzhong, now the trainees of the Northwest Frontier Army have also arrived, right?" You can transfer eight people from the early training to act as instructors for these new trainees. Hurry up the training, I still count on them to be instructors for the new army. ”

Yang Wenguang said: "Brother Zhengsheng, don't worry, I will handle the training of the military academy, you can take care of your injuries, and then I will build an iron army for you according to your training outline." ”

Meng Ming asked about the man in black again, although he had learned that these people were from Sanssouci Cave, but the big fish behind him had not been caught.

He proposes to use a slight scheme to quietly let a few men in black abscond out, then follow them, find out where they are hiding, and capture their leaders.

Yang Wenguang also agreed to his proposal, but Yang Wenguang suggested that it would be better to transfer these black-clothed men to Kaifeng Mansion for custody.

Meng Ming also understood his good intentions, he wanted to avoid suspicion, so as not to leave a handle for people with bad intentions.

Yang Wenguang returned to the Royal Military Academy, Zhang Miaoniang went with him, and the two discussed a plan to capture the old man.

Yang Wenguang drew a platoon of troops from the trainees, led by Gao Wenhuan, and escorted these murderous men in black to Kaifeng Mansion.

Yang Wenguang called Gao Wenhuan forward, and then said: "

In the process of Gao Guangyao's escort of the prisoners this time, you will plan to let the two prisoners escape, and I will send someone to follow them secretly, and then find out their lair. ”

Gao Wenhuan took the order and left, and saw a group of students escorting the black-clothed prisoners with guns along the Wuzhang River and heading for Tokyo.

There were two prisoners in the back, one named Ai Hu and the other named Wu Bao, Ai Hu felt that the ropes on his body were loose, and his bound hands were able to move.

The two looked at each other, then exchanged glances, and Ai Hu turned around and showed Wu Bao the rope with his hands loose.

At this time, the team was almost at Yanqiu, and the students let these black-clothed people rest on the spot, only to see that Ai Hu and Wu Bao were leaning together, Wu Bao turned his head behind Ai Hu, and then used his teeth to untie the rope on his hand, and Ai Hu, who was untied, went to help Wu Bao untie the rope.

Not far from the resting place was a large field of reeds and a large woods.

They were at the back of the line, and when the person who was guarding them was not there, they were overjoyed, and then said in unison, "Run."

The two of them immediately rushed towards the reeds, and their escape immediately caused the trainees to fire warning shots, and several of them flew past their ears, and the two of them couldn't care so much, so they just bowed their heads and fled, and finally both of them fled into the reeds.

After a while, there was the sound of running, and I saw that the students began to search the reeds, and they all cursed and cursed, and they looked quite annoyed when they heard it.

They held their breath nervously, and their eyes could see the tips of the students' toes, and their hearts were about to rise to their throats.

Fortunately, the students did not find Ai Hu and Wu Bao in the end, and in the end, these students stopped looking for them and escorted the remaining prisoners to leave.

After about an hour, the two dared to poke their heads out of the reeds to check, and after finding that there was no abnormality, the two looked at each other and smiled, and slipped out of the reeds.

I saw Ai Hu and said: "Brother Wu Bao, let's go and steal a few clothes to change into, otherwise our dress will definitely arouse the suspicion of passers-by, and it will be impossible to enter the city." ”

Wu Bao said: "Brother Ai Hu, it is very true, this matter is handed over to my brother, this is my specialty, by the way, my brother will eat and drink by the way, and then fill his stomach so that he can hurry." ”

After Wu Bao finished speaking, he raised his legs and ran out, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a stick of incense (half an hour), Wu Bao ran back panting, only to see him change into a gray cotton robe, a fur hat on his head, and a large package on his shoulder.

Ai Hu hurriedly took the package forward, and suddenly felt that his hand was sinking, and he opened it to see that there was a dress wrapped in a white bag, and the rest was wine, meat and food.

Ai Hu hurriedly changed his clothes, he was wearing a cyan cotton robe and a cotton hat.

The relationship between the two of them was originally good, but after this escape, the relationship has warmed up even more.

During the period when the two were detained, they didn't eat or drink well, and today Wu Bao took the sheep and bought quite a hearty meal, including sauced beef, braised elbow, yellow stewed chicken, red oil belly shreds, and a shredded potato, and a jar of old wine.

The two of them immediately let go of their stomachs, drank a lot of wine, ate meat, and drank a lot of food, they only ate a full belly, and the two of them hiccuped one after another, and then patted their bellies with satisfaction.

The two of them then went together, and they took the bus into the city, and Zhang Miaoniang secretly followed them all the way.

The two got off at Fan Lou, and then changed to Zongsan Road and got off at Xiao Tianshui Lane, and then they went to a gambling house together, called "Changsheng Gambling House".

At this time, the sky was dark, and Zhang Miaoniang had already changed her appearance at this time, with the appearance of a thin middle-aged man, with yellow skin, triangular eyes, and a mustache.

She also entered the casino, and saw that the two of them were already sitting in a corner, talking to an old man, and after a while, the old man went to the inner hall.

She went to the table close to the two of them, and then began to gamble, she played dice, that is, guessing the size, and the bet was placed by the player to the banker. Before each bet, the dealer places the three dice in a covered vessel and shakes them.

When the player has finished placing their bets, the dealer opens the vessel and pays out, the most common bet being the size of the dice (a total of 3 to 10 is called small, 11 to 18 is big, except for the dice).

Because Zhang Miaoniang often walks on the rivers and lakes, she is also quite proficient in these things, and can shake the dice and listen to the dice;

So at first, she won several games, but because she still had to monitor Ai Hu and Wu Bao, she was also a little distracted, and then she lost a few more games, basically not losing or winning.

At this time, a person walked out of the inner hall, wearing a hood and a black veil, he walked to Ai Hu and Wu Bao, and the two quickly got up to greet them, and the person did not speak after receiving the salute, and then took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, and then handed it to Ai Hu, and then turned around and returned to the inner hall without saying a word.

Ai Hu and Wu Bao looked at it carefully, and after reading it, the two exchanged glances, with a knowing expression.

Ai Hu hurriedly hid the piece of paper on his body, and then got up and left with Wu Bao, and Zhang Miaoniang also left when he saw this.

When Ai Hu and the others came out of the gambling house, they heard Ai Hu say in a low voice: "Brother Wu Bao, what should we do next, go back to the helper first?" ”

Wu Bao said: "Mrs. has given us the contact map just now, let's go to Sanssouci Cave first, we can only be regarded as tigers returning to the mountain when we get there, I don't know if the brothers in the gang have been transferred." ”

The two of them walked all the way, but their walking route was like going around in circles and walking through a maze, and ordinary people would be confused and soon lost.

Zhang Miaoniang is not an ordinary person, the two of them can't escape her magic eyes, she is as light as a swallow, flying eaves and walking on the wall, and follows them deadly.

I saw that the two of them entered a dilapidated courtyard, and then entered a firewood room, and after entering, the two never came out.

Seeing this, Zhang Miaoniang hurriedly went in to check, but she didn't find anything abnormal, but she felt that there must be a secret passage, so she searched for it;

After a while, she found a hole the size of a water tank under the firewood, and she quickly crept down the cave.

After walking for a while, she heard the voices of two people.

In a blink of an eye, her vision became broader, and she felt that this underground world was also unique, although this was an underground waterway, but it was also like a traffic on the ground, extending in all directions; And it's so spacious that you can build a house and run a horse.

Although the underground water vapor is damp and the smell is strong, there is still a lot of fireworks, and the place is dying with lights and not dark at all.

Zhang Miaoniang followed the footsteps of the two people, and hurriedly followed them, and saw that there were many families cooking there, and many children gathered on the water platform, throwing stones into the canal, playing in the water, and vaguely saw layers of ripples on the water, and the children were carefree and laughing.

Zhang Miaoniang continued to move forward, and saw that the front was lively, and when she walked in, it turned out to be a gambling house, which said "Juyin Gambling House", many people went in and out, and she also saw that there were many street soldiers (soldiers who maintained law and order in the capital, and belonged to the "Jinwu Street Division") went in and out.

The further you go, the brighter it becomes, the brighter it is, there is a brothel here, most of the women here are mediocre, but they are all wearing heavy makeup, dressed up in fancy clothes, and the clothes are revealing, and even open breasts, without an inch, at first glance they are prostitutes who do the skin and meat business. There were many people who came to ask for pleasure, and most of them were vulgar peddlers and pawns.

Further inside, there is a night market, just like a food street in Tokyo, with many food stalls and a lot of snacks, such as tripe, blood jelly, fried pork liver and fried goose meat, steamed buns, fried fritters, fruits (raw fruits, dried fruits, preserved fruits, candied fruits, cakes) and other categories.

After this bustling area, the lights gradually dimmed, and the two seemed to be a little excited, as if they were about to arrive at their lair.

The two of them arrived at a dark place, and then knocked on the door a few times regularly, as if they were speaking a few secret words.

After a while, he heard the door "squeak" and half opened, and saw a human head exposed inside, looking out, he saw Ai Hu and Wu Bao, he was a little surprised and surprised, and then hurriedly welcomed the two in, and then probed out, and then quickly closed the door.

Zhang Miaoniang followed all the way and made marks all the way, so that next time she came back, she could still find this place and not get lost.

She walked forward and saw that it was a cave, and the door was a stone door, and on it were carved three crooked and twisted three big red letters: "Dragons Gang." ”

Zhang Miaoniang walked around, and heard a movement, which seemed to be a cry, so she looked for it, and she saw a small window not far away, from which a bright light came out, and the cry came from inside.

Zhang Miaoniang did a little effort, so she went up to check, she looked inside, and suddenly saw a scene where her eyes were cracked.
