After hesitating, the people chasing behind had already surrounded him panting. The soldier with his gun shouted angrily: "A few people can't even guard the gate!" What do you eat? ”

One of the short soldiers muttered in frustration: "This guy is more agile than a cat, and before he could see clearly, he let him slip away." ”

The soldier who raised the gun snorted coldly and said, "Take it back, interrogate it well, and see if it is the god of that temple." ”

A few were about to rush up to make a move, only to hear someone outside the circle shouting: "Wait! ”

Everyone turned around and immediately saluted: "Captain Yao is good!" ”

The man nodded lightly and said calmly, "Give him to me." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and beckoned to Shoko. Shoko glanced at him suspiciously, and silently followed behind.

After sitting down on the stone bench under the big tree, Captain Yao looked at Xiangzi calmly and said, "I see that your skills are good, I'm afraid you have some backgrounds, there are no others here, don't worry about it." ”

So, Xiangzi didn't think much about it, so he told him how the county magistrate Kong was wronged and sentenced to death, and he had no choice but to come to the provincial capital to find the master to save people.

Captain Yao listened to this, smiled happily, and said, "No wonder your skills are so good, it turns out that Deputy Director Huang is your master." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he jumped up happily, grabbed Captain Yao's hand, and said with a somewhat excited expression: "Do you know my master?" ”

Captain Yao smiled happily and said, "Not only is it about acquaintance, but also about seniority, I have to call you Senior Brother Li." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he excitedly showed the posture of the master's faction, and Captain Yao immediately responded, and the two made a few gestures. Just hugged his fists and saluted, which can be regarded as an official recognition of his senior brother, which is the rule of martial arts.

After saluting, Xiangzi impatiently grabbed his junior brother's hand and said, "Where is the master?" Take me to him. ”

Captain Yao sighed lightly and said, "It's really unfortunate that you came, Master was only transferred to Lanzhou to work last month, and I haven't gotten any specific news from Master yet." ”

Xiangzi suddenly felt as if he was suddenly pouring a basin of cold water from his head in the midst of boiling blood, which made him a little dizzy.

He staggered two steps slightly, and sat down weakly on the stone bench. Seeing Xiangzi's disappointed look, Captain Yao stepped forward and comforted: "Don't be too anxious first, Master and others are in the Lanzhou government, I'll call back to implement it." Looks like you're going to have to make a trip yourself. Your matter is complicated, and it is not under the jurisdiction of our system, so only if you explain the situation to Master in person, Master can handle it at his discretion. ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly and said with a depressed expression: "Lanzhou is so far away, it takes a few months to go back and forth, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Captain Yao pondered a little and said, "In this way, you can take the car that goes to Xi'an to transport cotton." During this time, they often go through the formalities of leaving Xinjiang with me, I will arrange a place for you to live first, don't wait for my letter. ”

The bandits in Nanshan are becoming more and more rampant, and they dare to arrange troops with the bandit suppression team, and they are fighting against each other openly. The express report on the mountain for help runs to the county party committee once a day.

There was no other source of soldiers, so Secretary Wang had to use the guns sent by the elm tree nest to arm a group of young adults who could shoot guns, and Xiaohu led the team to support. As soon as the task was issued, Shuzhen couldn't sit still at first. He hurriedly came to Secretary Wang and asked to join the war.

When Secretary Wang heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. He invited Shuzhen to sit down, poured a glass of water and handed it to her. He said with a little excitement: "I have long heard the legendary story of Jiugu, and I am relieved that you will come out." ”

Shuzhen smiled indifferently and said, "Can you push back the day of departure by half a day?" ”

Secretary Wang looked at Shuzhen suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Why? There are several miles on the mountain. ”

Shuzhen said as if she was confident: "Most of these newly recruited people have not been trained, let alone experienced actual combat. Let them rush up, and they will die in vain. Therefore, I want to transfer some more skilled hands from the elm nest, and only by beating the bandits can the mountains be stable. ”

Secretary Wang listened, smiled happily, and said: "That's the reason, but last time Zhao Xiaotian said that the work in the field is also very tight, as if no one can be drawn." ”

Shuzhen smiled indifferently and said, "Why doesn't Secretary Wang come to change people?" ”

Secretary Wang was slightly stunned for a moment and said, "What's the change?" ”

Shuzhen smiled mysteriously and said, "You just need to give an order, Yushuwozi Village, and cooperate with the county to suppress bandits." The surrounding villages sent people to take care of the crops in Yushuwozi Village, so that they would kill two birds with one stone and not delay anything. ”

Secretary Wang listened, smiled "haha", and said: "It is said that Jiugu has a lot of ideas, and when I saw it today, as expected, I will do as you say." ”

The people on the mountain saw that it was the chief of staff who personally brought the old man to support, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. They all told about the rampant bandits in the past few days.

Shuzhen listened patiently for a while, and called the two local militia and said, "How many exits are there from this mountain?" Where do bandits generally come out of there? ”

One of them was a tall man, stretching his neck. Pointing to the green mountains lying in front of him, he said: "There is an exit from the east and west, and if you go west, you will arrive at the intersection of Santai Road, where there are sparsely populated bandits generally do not go." ”

As he spoke, the man shook his snot that was about to cross the river, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Those dogs are all going out of the mountains from the east, and they are harming people along the side of the mountain. ”

Shuzhen looked up at the increasingly fat and reddening sun, smiled gently at the man and said, "Do you dare to go to the mountain pass with me?" ”

The man seemed to be startled for a moment, and then smiled reluctantly, and said softly, "It's done." ”

In front of the pass is a rocky beach washed by a flash flood, and on the dry land on both sides of the beach slope are two well-growing broad beans.

The sunset is dyed, and everything shines. The monotonous rocky beach is also covered with charming colors. The returning sparrow and the eagle in love with the sky all showed their own hurried appearances.

Shuzhen, Zhao Xiaotian and Tie Dan were the three of them, after some careful calculation. An operation to ambush the bandits quietly began at dawn the next day.

The sun had just turned white, and the snow at the top of the green peak shot the flickering light in all directions.

A flock of wild pigeons suddenly flew up at the mountain pass, and they looked in a hurry, apparently frightened.

Shuzhen vigilantly waved her hand to the team members who were ambushed in the broad bean field, and said in a low voice: "Stay close and fight, no one is allowed to shoot without my order." The bombardier twists the hat of *, watch my gesture to throw the bomb. ”

As he spoke, several horses had already sprang out of the hazy mountain pass. Then the crowd of people and horses, as if they were visiting the market, came unsuspectingly and laughing. When the loose bandits were only fifty meters away from the team, Shuzhen suddenly raised her gun and waved her hand, shouting: "Fight!" Immediately, a shot was fired into the air.

After a thunderous bombardment and a dense burst of bullets, billowing gunpowder smoke mixed with terrible screams suddenly filled half of the sky.

The smoke cleared, and the chaotic rocky beach left a dozen corpses and a few wounded people who were struggling blindly. The remnants of the bandits in a panic have gradually disappeared into the mountain pass shrouded in sunlight.

Two ambushes and one sneak attack drove the bandits far into the uninhabited back mountains.

The bandits in Nanshan subsided, but Secretary Wang encountered something that made him even more headache - Team Leader Zhao came back with the approval of the province.
