, the nose of the earth in the Shihu is very peculiar, and the warehouses on all sides are mountains, and there are only strips in. The entrance is actually a small river that flows into the Jewel Lake, but it is winter, and the river is already frozen, so you can enter it directly from the ice.

But beside the river, at the pass into the mountains, there is a small checkpoint set up by the robbers, and this is the only way to go, and there is no way to avoid it. Either you have to go in from here, or you have to climb in from behind the mountain.

Wang Ping'an led the people slowly approaching the entrance, he called the two robber messengers, and asked, "This is the only way to enter the mountain?" If you don't go here, climb in from the back of the mountain, is the road easy to walk? ”

The two robber messengers shook their heads together, and one of them said: "If you go back to your lordship, there is no road behind the mountain, it is all cliffs, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we are kings" That's why Qu Zhimao, the thief, built his lair here. ”

The other said: "You can only enter from here, the pass is guarded, it is not difficult to take it down, and they will not defend it." The difficulty is that as soon as they see someone attacking, they will immediately light a fire, and those who are trapped in the empty mountains will hide. There are so many mountains here, not to mention hiding thousands of eight hundred people, even if tens of thousands of people are hidden in it, they can all be hidden! ”

Wang Ping'an listened, frowned, and did not speak. Su Dingfang and Gu Lantian came over together.

Su Dingfang said: "This is easy to do, let the two of them go in." Talking to the people in the pass, it was said that the direction of Yumen Pass did not promise to redeem people, and they should immediately report to Qu Zhimao to divert the attention of the guards, and we sent the elite to rush in suddenly, and they will be able to take the pass in one fell swoop, so that they will not have time to ignite the alarm! ”

Gu Lantian said: "Yes, I mean the same thing, there is no other way!" ”

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it!" He beckoned to the men of the Guards. Twenty individual force groups were singled out, and the Ouyang brothers naturally wanted to participate in all of them, and fierce people like Hou Ling and Niu Dali were also among them.

Wang Ping'an said to the two robber messengers: "If you can successfully rescue you this time, I will tell you the truth, the two officials who were arrested are not the real prime ministers and generals, but their stand-ins." But even if it is a stand-in, it is worthless, but if it is caught, it will also damage the face of the court, so we have to kill Qu Zhisheng. ”

The two robber messengers both said: "We all know about the stand-in, everyone in Zheliu County knows about it, and we naturally heard the rumors, but the king" But Qu Zhisheng confessed, we must do a good job before we can go back, so we will send the letter to you." ”

Nodding, Wang Ping'an patted them both and said, "You two have made meritorious contributions to the crime, if you can save those two stand-ins, I will exempt you two from sin." Let the two of you enter the army as captains, and the future will be bright, are you willing? ”

The two robber messengers nodded hurriedly, both overjoyed, and both said of course they would.

Wang Ping'an asked the two of them to lead the way and earn the checkpoints on the pass. Team leader Ouyang Li. Following the two of them, they reached the pass, and the large group of men and horses hid in the dark, waiting for news.

After a long time, there was still no movement inside, Wang Ping'an was a little anxious, and was about to send someone to take a look, but he saw that there was a sudden fire at the pass, the flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of killing also sounded!

Everyone is in a hurry, how to do it, it's just a pass, there are people leading the way, and the elite is being sent, how can they still let the other party appear!

Wang Ping'an only felt dizzy for a while, and thought, "It's broken." In the end, the robbers inside were prepared, and it was even more difficult to rescue Fang Xuanling! ”

He drew the sword at his waist and pointed forward, shouting: "Rush up, seize the pass, and plunge into the empty mountain, quickly!" ”

The guard regiment behind did not move, and the Turkic soldiers, under the leadership of Su Dingfang, each raised their weapons and killed the pass!

Just now, Ouyang Li and the others touched the edge of the pass, which was quite smooth, they were all people who were skilled in martial arts, and they dived straight to the mountain pass, and the robbers who guarded the card did not show any abnormality. Ouyang Li ordered the two robber messengers to attract the attention of the card-guarding robbers in the past, but the two robber messengers were very obedient, and let the past pass, without any stubbornness.

But after the two of them entered the pass, there was no movement for a long time, and just when Ouyang Li and the others were waiting impatiently, they saw someone coming out of the checkpoint, and more than a dozen people came out, all holding something!

Before Ouyang Li and the others could understand the taste, they saw those robbers smash the things in their hands on a high bag, and then someone started a flint!

Ouyang Li immediately understood, this was a fire alarm. Those people were holding cans of oil and the big bags were pyrewood!

The two robber messengers didn't really surrender at all. Instead, he pretended to be very well-behaved, and as soon as he got out of control, he immediately reported the news to the card-keeping robbers inside! Ouyang Li led the people out of the dark place where they were hiding and slammed into the fire. But it was too late, and the fire was ignited in a hurry, and the robbers ran to the lake, shouting as they ran: "Officers and soldiers are coming, officers and soldiers are coming, brothers hurry up and get ready!" ”

Ouyang Li and the others were in a hurry, and they used light body kung fu to chase after them, and they caught up with these robbers in a moment. Slash and slash these robbers!

But with such a toss, the robbers trapped in the empty mountain don't know the reason!

Su Dingfang took the Turkic soldiers and rushed to the ice of the Gem Lake, and when he saw Ouyang Li and them, he said angrily: "What's the matter, why did you still let them set the fire on fire, what about those two bastards?" ”

Ouyang Li was very unhappy and said: "Accident, it was unexpected, who would have thought that those two guys would change their hexagrams." He glanced at the robbers' corpses. And said: "I didn't see those two guys, they wouldn't have run away!" ”

Hou Ling said: "They went in for a long time before these robbers came out and lit a fire, probably to delay time, so that they could escape into the mountains!" ”

Niu Dali heaved and said, "These robbers are not stupid, those two guys are even more bent on being thieves and refuse to submit to the court!" ”

Su Dingfang said: "Miscalculation, since that Qu Zhimao will send them, it means that they are hardcore henchmen and will never surrender." miscalculated for a while, and they fell for their evil! ”

"What's the use of talking about this now, hurry up. While the robbers are not ready, kill them on their backs first! Ouyang Li raised his big knife and rushed forward with people.

Su Dingfang didn't complain anymore, and led the Turkic soldiers to follow from behind, and together they killed the empty mountain on the other side of the lake.

After a short time, Wang Ping'an also came to the lake, followed by Gu Lantian and You Xiujie, who were not the main battle force, so they were in the back.

Gu Lantian stomped his feet and shouted, "This time it's over, Qu Zhimao is not a bamboo... It's impossible to find a house, our future is over! You Xiujie was silent, his eyes kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Ping'an was also so anxious that his mouth was dry, and said: "I didn't prepare in advance, and I didn't expect all kinds of unexpected situations, it seems that it is really going to be bad!" ”

The two of them were in a hurry, and You Xiujie suddenly said: "There is a road into the mountain here, and it is naturally this road to go out of the mountain. The prince and the prince, the ancient governor, the lower official is a civil official, he doesn't know martial arts, and it's useless to rush up. It's better to let the subordinate lead people to guard here to prevent the robbers from escaping, and maybe they can save some defeats a little! ”

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said: "This, it seems that it is useless, let's go into the mountain together, there are many people, and the chances of winning are better." ”

Gu Lantian said: "No, no, it's really unnecessary for everyone to go in together, let's let Lord You stay here, maybe you can block a few robbers, and you can make a difference to the imperial court!" ”

"That. All right! Wang Ping'an felt that it was not appropriate, but he couldn't say what was wrong. But Gu Lantian and You Xiujie both insisted, and he had no choice but to agree.

You Xiujie returned to the pass with his own personal soldiers, while Wang Ping'an and the others continued to move forward.

While running to the other side of the lake, Gu Lantian said: "Lord Wang, that You Xiujie saw that things were not good, it is estimated that he is going to abandon the official and flee for his life, stop being a assassin, and flee to a remote place to be a common man!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, stopped, and looked back. said: "Fang Xiangye's life and death are unknown, there is no need to abandon the official and flee now, right?" ”

Gu Lantian said: "When Fang Xiangye's life and death are known, can he still escape?" We will definitely keep an eye on him, so that he can carry the black cauldron!" He is running away now, and the official has not done it, but he can still save his life. It's too late to escape, and even my life has to be lost. ”

Wang Pingai said angrily: "Then you still let him go!" ”

Gu Lantian smiled gloomily and said viciously: "If he wants to escape, let him escape." If Fang Xiangye hadn't escaped this catastrophe, then let's say that he colluded with Qu Zhimao, who should be reconciled inside and out, resulting in Fang Xiangye's murder, the so-called family thief is difficult to prevent, we can't help it, anyway, he escaped, there is no proof of death, he is a black pot, we have nothing to do with it! ”

Wang Ping'an stomped his feet and said, "You two." only cares about intrigue, the officials have achieved such a big deal, and they are still calculated like this, it is simply unreasonable! ”

He ran away and ran, and Wang Wendu was just that, but Fang Xuanling wanted to be rescued, and Monk Xuanfan had to be rescued, otherwise how would people write "Journey to the West", and then how would people write "Journey to the West" and how would they make movies and TV series? can't save Tang Xuan, "How many people's jobs have to be smashed!"

Gu Lantian also ran along, but he was not convinced in his heart, you said that we were intriguing and calculating with each other, you don't want to think about it, don't calculate carefully, we can be such a big official!

Passes. You Xiujie did not abandon the official and fled, he found a big stone and sat down, asked his entourage to take out pen and ink, sprinkled a piece of underwear, and said cruelly: "Those two guys must be calculating me, how can I be restrained, let me write a piece of music first." Let's make this clear. They are plotting against me, and I will let them taste my power! ”

You Xiujie knew in his heart that the robbers must be prepared at this time, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu would not be able to save them, and how could Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian bear this kind of consequences, and the black cauldron must be borne by him. The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, the rabbit bites when he is in a hurry, how can he not struggle, and when he goes to the execution ground, he can also be accompanied by two people, and someone is at the bottom! He wrote out the arrest of Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu, and said that Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian were ineffective, did not listen to their own advice, and forced themselves to send someone to pretend to be Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu. They insisted on going their own way, and as a result, the rescue operation failed, the crime was extremely heinous, and the responsibility was borne by the two of them, but they were innocent, innocent, and they did wrong things under their coercion, which is forgivable!

After writing the recital, he called a confidant and said, "You take this recital with you, send it to Chang'an, and present it to the emperor, and you can't let others know about it, so as not to let Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian send someone to intercept and kill him." If you change horses or people, you must use the fastest degree to send the music to Chang'an, and you must not stop on the road, understand? ”

The henchman nodded and said, "Master, all the small things in this matter are in their eyes, and they all understand it very well." must preempt this piece before the two dog officials, send it to the capital, and present it to the emperor, everything is decided by the emperor, so that the master will not be wronged! ”

You Xiujie said: "Okay, it's all up to you!" With that, he got up and saluted his henchman. The henchman hurriedly returned the salute, did not dare to delay the time, ran out of the pass, got on the horse and galloped away.

Wang Ping'an followed the Turkic army and ran all the way to the trap mountain. Trap let. Huge, and there were too many holes to count, and the Turks swarmed in, like headless flies, looking for robbers!

Gu Lantian hurriedly said: "This can't be done, there are so many caves in the mountains, and the path is complicated. We can't find Qu Zhimao directly, even if we kill the innermost, I'm afraid that he will have already escaped from other exits, and we can't completely block it! ”

Wang Ping'an turned around and shouted: "Huizheng, there is a difficulty, do you two know the way?" ”

Hui Zheng and Younan have been following, but their physical strength is not good. The farther and farther you go, you've long been far behind. Seeing this, some guards hurriedly ran back, and when they saw that they really couldn't run, they simply carried them over.

When he got closer, Hui Zheng shouted, "Uncle Shi, why are you running so fast!" ”

Wang Ping'an shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't you two explore the road in advance, know the way into the mountain, which cave to take?" ”

Hui Zhengdao: "I know, I know, my nephew has a map here, which was drawn by local people, and it is very detailed." In the past, when it was not a den of robbers, the people often came in! As he spoke, he took out a sheepskin from his bosom and handed it to Wang Ping'an.

The guards started a fire, and Wang Ping'an looked at the map by the light of the fire and said, "The place where this circle is drawn is the bottomless pit, right?" ”

Hui Zheng said: "Yes, there is a bottomless pit, I heard that Master Xuanwan was locked up there." But now the robbers still keep him here. It's not clear to the teacher and nephew! ”

Wang Ping'an held the map in his hand, identified the next direction, and said, "It should be from this hole." Quick, let's not fight the robbers, let's go save people first! He ran first to a hole.

Everyone followed closely and rushed into the Hollow Mountain together!
