Xiao Ding called Zhao Hu and the others to him, and then told them the idea he had just remembered. Yan Duwei also praised Xiao Ding's strategy again and again, claiming that this plan was feasible.

"Captain Yan, do you have signal flares in your troops?" After Xiao Ding finished telling his strategy, he asked Captain Yan.

"You're talking about letter guns, right?" Yan Duwei didn't know what a flare was, but he guessed what Xiao Ding wanted.

"It should be, it's what we need when we enter the cottage and control Shi Jian's forging, and we want to send you a signal to attack the mountain." Xiao Ding explained that he didn't know what the signal flares of later generations were called in this era, but he knew that there must be something similar to signal flares in the army of this era.

"That's the letter cannon, we have it here." After Yan Duwei finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to take the letter cannon over.

Xiao Ding saw that the letter cannon that Yan Duwei said was originally made of bamboo tubes, with a lead, and it looked a bit like the two kicks of fireworks in later generations.

"After you have restrained the thief's master, you can set this letter cannon on fire. When we see the letter cannon going off, we will immediately attack the mountain. Captain Yan handed the letter cannon to Xiao Ding and said.

"Okay, you lead your men to ambush at the bottom of the mountain first, and I will go up the mountain with Zhao Hu and them." Xiao Ding said and put the letter cannon into the satchel he was carrying.

Xiao Ding and Fan San, and Zhao Hu each carried a satchel on their bodies, and the satchels were all filled with beaded crossbows.

Captain Yan led all his soldiers to ambush him, and Xiao Ding and Zhao Hu walked towards the mountain road.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they were spotted by the bandits who were on the sentry post at the top of the mountain.

"Who are you? Stop, or we'll let off the arrows! The bandit above the stone wall shouted.

"Is it Brother Zhang Dahu above? I'm Zhao Hu! Zhao Hu stopped, looked up at the top of the stone wall, and saw that the person guarding the guard above seemed to be Zhang Dahu, one of the small leaders of Feiyun Village, so he shouted.

"Zhao Hu, why did you come back?" Zhang Dahu, who was above the stone wall, asked suspiciously.

"Brother Zhang, is our Shizhai master in the cottage? Excuse me, just say that I inquired about the whereabouts of the artifact in Luoxia Mountain, and I came to report to the lord of Dazhai. Zhao Hu shouted above the stone wall.

"Okay, you wait a minute." After Zhang Dahu answered Zhao Hu, he turned around and walked towards the cottage. There were still three or four small thieves on the stone wall, staring at Xiao Ding and the others.

After a while, Zhang Dahu ran back and shouted below: "Zhao Hu, the master of the village said to let you go up the mountain!" ”

"Okay!" Zhao Hu answered, and took the lead in front. Xiao Ding, Fan Sanpang and others followed.

The way up the mountain is so narrow that only one person can walk. At first, there was only one side of the stone wall, but as you gradually reached the mountainside, both sides of the mountain road became stone walls. Xiao Ding secretly sighed at the danger of the terrain here. This is really a place where "one husband is the key, and ten thousand people are not open"! As long as the bandits lie in ambush above the stone walls on both sides of the mountain road and shoot arrows here on the mountain road, no matter how many people come on the mountain road to attack the mountain, it is not enough to kill. Or stand on it and throw something flammable at the mountain road and set it on fire, and everyone on the mountain road will be burned here.

Xiao Ding was secretly afraid as he walked, but fortunately he had no impulse and let Yan Duwei attack this mountain, otherwise he might not know how he died.

Feiyun Peak is not short, and it took a few people about a stick of incense to reach the top of the mountain after walking along the winding mountain road. At the end of the mountain road, there is a heavy gate stuck between the stone walls on both sides.

At this time, the gate of the village had been opened, and Zhao Hu took the lead and walked into the cottage with a few people.

Inside the walled gate, there is a flat land on the top of the mountain, where several houses are built. Among them, the tallest house in the middle is the Juyi Hall of Feiyun Village, which is the usual meeting place of the bandits.

Zhao Hu walked into the Juyi Hall with Xiao Ding and a few people in a familiar way.

Shi Jianduan was sitting upright on the chair in the middle of the Juyi Hall at the moment, and beside him were two scantily clad young women knocking on his back and pinching his legs.

Xiao Ding saw that Shi Jianzhuan was still dressed as a down-and-out boy, his body was still thin, his face was still pale, and his eyes were blue and black and swollen, as if he hadn't slept for many days in a row. Xiao Ding knew that it was a symptom of excessive indulgence that led to a lack of kidney qi.

On either side of the hall stood two rows of minions, each with their heads held high, armed with wooden clubs and axes, although they looked ragged and unevenly armed, and looked a little unseemly standing on either side. But if you are a timid person, when you see this formation, you may be frightened by them, and you can't figure out what the details are about them.

However, Xiao Ding had already dealt with these bandits a few times, so he naturally knew that they had a few catties and taels. The only person in this hall who can make Xiao Ding a little jealous is Shi Jianzhuan, he knows that Shi Jianzhuan's martial arts are good, and he should not be his opponent when he fights alone.

"Is that you?" Shi Jianzhuan's attention was first placed on Xiao Ding and Fan Sanpang, who were following Zhao Hu and the others. It's no wonder that Xiao Ding is tall and big, and among the crowd, he is half a head taller than others, which is too conspicuous.

Fan Sanpang followed Xiao Ding, he was the opposite of Xiao Ding, short and fat, like a dwarf winter melon, which also attracted Shi Jianduan's attention.

At the foot of Luoxia Mountain, Shi Jianduan had seen Xiao Ding and Fan Sanfat, but he didn't expect that these two people would follow Zhao Hu and them to Feiyun Village today.

"Master Dazhai, these two are my new friends." Zhao Hu said.

"Zhao Hu, I heard that you have found the whereabouts of the century-old artifact of Luoxia Mountain?" Shi Jianduan did not delve into Xiao Ding and the others, but asked him about the issues he was concerned about.

"Yes, Lord. I found out through a secret visit that the artifact of Luoxia Mountain turned out to be a hundred-year-old python, which was later given by the people of Tianluomen in Jiaozhou. Zhao Hu said according to what Xiao Ding had taught him before.

"Well, I've heard a little bit about it, too. I heard that the python skin is invulnerable, invulnerable to water and fire, and it is indeed a rare treasure in the world. But since the python has been taken away by the men of Tenlomon, what is the use of you to inform me? Do you think I can afford to mess with Tenlomon? Shi Jianduan said with a frown.

"Owner of the village, in fact, I have one more thing when I come back today, I want you to see something." Zhao Hu said and stretched out his hand to the satchel on his body.

"What are you looking at?" Hearing that there was something to see, Shi Jianduan straightened up his half-lying body, and waved his hand to stop the two women who were serving him beside him.

"I'll show you this......" Zhao Hu said as he took out the beaded crossbow from his satchel, and quickly pushed the safety open, aimed at Shi Jianduan, and pulled the trigger three times in a row. Three crossbow arrows "swished" at Shi Jianforging.

Although Shi Jianforging was attacked by Zhao Hu, with his own martial arts foundation, he still subconsciously moved his body at the moment when Zhao Hu pulled the trigger and avoided the vital point.

Three crossbow arrows more than half a foot long had one hit his right shoulder socket, one pierced his right upper arm, and the other at the base of his right thigh.

Blood instantly stained his white shirt.

At this time, Xiao Ding, Fan Sanpang and several others also took out their beaded crossbows one after another and aimed them at Shi Jianforging.

"...... you?" Shi Jianduan raised his left hand and pointed at Zhao Hu and the others tremblingly.

"Lord Shizhai, we are actually here today to arrest you." Xiao Ding stepped forward at this time and said to Shi Jianduan.

"You were originally from the government...... Shi Jianduan said angrily.

"Shizhai master, you gathered people to occupy the mountain, blocked the road and robbed, for the sake of the people, the government has long wanted to arrest you." Xiao Ding aimed the beaded crossbow at Shi Jianforging. Shi Jianduan had just suffered from this secret weapon, so he naturally knew how powerful this secret weapon was, so he didn't dare to act rashly. The two women beside him had already been paralyzed to the ground with fright.

There were minions standing on both sides of the hall, but no one dared to come forward to rescue their master. Several of them have recognized Xiao Ding, when they robbed Xiao Ding, they were robbed by Xiao Ding so that they didn't even keep a pair of pants, which they will never forget.
