Li Shengwu brought a map and hung it on the stone wall, and said, "This is what I drew with a few staff officers, and it is more intuitive to look at the map and speak." Xia Yifan smiled at him and said, "Chief of Staff Li, thank you!" Li Shengwu said with a smile: "My own brother, it's far away to say thank you." ”

Xiao Guangkun pointed the location of the Twin Peaks and Maoer Mountain on the map with his finger, and said: "This is the Eagle's Beak Cliff, the shopkeeper is called Fan Decheng, this person is delicious and delicious, and he is nicknamed 'Fan Da Eat', he has traveled extensively, gathered a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and the number is still ominous." This is the Valley of the Immortals, the leader is called Mao San'er, leading forty or fifty bandits, hibernation during the day, and going out to rob houses at night. Elm Ridge, which is closest to Ironstone Peak, is occupied by sharp-billed monkeys and is the weakest of these bandits. I originally wanted to capture Elm Ridge, but I couldn't send troops to defend it, so I let the sharp-billed monkey get away. ”

After Liu Hui heard this, a thought sprouted in his heart: "If you can use it for yourself, why don't you accept it?" Together with this thought, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I thought that this road would be lonely, but now it seems that not only will it not be lonely, but it will be lively." Li Shengwu heard her say lightly, and hurriedly said: "Bandits like to play black guns, and the Twin Peaks are at the southwesternmost end, if you two go, it will be dangerous!" ”

Xia Yifan really had scruples, frowned, and said: "Captain Xiao, I have always had a question in my heart, how can the bandits like the poor mountains and bad waters in this area?" Xiao Guangkun said: "Who are the bandits afraid of?" Afraid of officers and soldiers. And here is far away from Tai'an, Laiwu, Xintai, Surabaya, Mengyin City, officers and soldiers are beyond the reach of the whip, it is the best place for bandits to live. Xia Yifan nodded, turned his gaze to Liu Hui, and said, "Look at ......" Liu Hui said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow." Brother Xiao, give me two grenadiers, two boxes of grenades, two boxes of wooden-handled grenades, and then help me prepare some dry food, and I will meet Kang Hong, Guo Zihao, Fan Dayu, Mao San'er, and sharp-billed monkeys. ”

Xiao Guangkun wanted to persuade Liu Hui to return to the mountain to transfer troops, but he was afraid that she would misunderstand that she would not be able to send troops and stand by, so he talked to Li Shengwu in a low voice, and asked Liang Haibin and Shi Hong to call over, and said, "Sister, you bring my guard platoon and artillery squadron and obey your command." Liu Hui said: "Then wait here, and when I need it, I will come back to dispatch." Xiao Guangkun didn't want to say anything, so he prepared two horses to carry weapons and ammunition.

Walking down the Iron Stone Peak, Liu Hui looked at the winding ancient road he walked a few months ago, remembered Cao Pi's "Yan Ge Xing", stretched his throat, and sang: "The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cold, and the grass and trees are shaken and the dew is frost." The group of swallows resigned to the south of the wild goose, and read the gentleman's thoughts and broken intestines. Thinking of returning to your hometown, why do you stay and send it to others? Cheap concubine ......" Xia Yifan suddenly remembered something and said: "Hui'er, I have always wondered, why did you let Xu Zhihong destroy the thousand-year-old plank road of Black Tiger Mountain?" ”

Liu Hui was still unsatisfied, and it was not until he finished singing the lyrics that he said: "Of course, it is to prevent Mengyin and Laiwu's devils from echoing each other." A glance saw a figure in the north woods disappearing, and said, "Senior brother, we are being watched by others." Xia Yifan rolled his eyes to look left and right, but didn't find anyone, and asked, "Where are the people?" Liu Hui said: "You! Eyesight and hearing do not increase but decrease, if you let the master know, it would be strange if he didn't spank you. She led the horse down the ancient road, went straight to the west, and saw the puzzled gaze of the senior brother, and said, "You just follow me, I have my own opinions." ”

After walking the tea kung fu, Xia Yifan stopped with his horse and said, "Hui'er, the beach in front of you is weird. Liu Hui smiled: "Good eyesight." "Picking up a stone and throwing it, a large crater collapsed more than ten meters in front of him. Xia Yifan walked to the edge of the pit and said, "The pit is two feet deep, and there is nothing harmful at the bottom of the pit, it may have been dug by hunters." Liu Hui threw out four more stones and said with a smile: "According to the direction of the five elements, dig pits and arrange formations, this hunter is also a clever person." ”

The two continued to walk forward, and found that one of them had been secretly following behind them. Xia Yifan said: "This person is very good at hiding kung fu and is a master of stalking. Liu Hui smiled: "I'll catch him and be a scout for us, okay?" Xia Yifan said: "The origin is unknown, so I don't dare to use it!" The man who was following him was very alert, and seemed to know that he had been discovered, and saw the two men enter a ravine, and run north.

The two walked for tea again, walked into a small hill with more than 20 households, and saw a rickety old man collecting hay at the door, so he walked forward. The uncle saw that the two of them were holding horses, and they looked like golden boys and girls, and blurted out: "What a handsome mountain tooth and a girl!" ”

Liu Hui chuckled and said, "Uncle, we are passing by here, and I want to ask your old man, this is very close to Elm Ridge, are the bandits there coming to rob?" The old man stopped what he was doing and said, "The people on the ridge came once and asked for some food, but they didn't beat or scold, and some people couldn't get the food and didn't say anything." Liu Hui said: "Are there many of them?" The old man said, "I don't know, there are only a dozen of them here, some with knives, some with sticks, and some ......" He glanced at the gun and said, "There are also gunpowder guns and bows and arrows." Liu Hui asked a few more words, but when she couldn't ask anything, she took her leave and left.

After walking five or six miles, Xia Yifan saw that he was followed again, and he pulled out his gun several times to scare away the followers, but was stopped by Liu Hui every time. Walking into a mountain col, Liu Hui said, "Wait for the two people to come up." He let go of the reins of the horse, ran seventy or eighty meters to the east, waited for the bag of cigarettes, jumped up, landed in front of the person who followed him, and said, "You two have been following for so long, it's time to tell me where you came from." ”

The two men separated, one left and one right, wielding knives and sticks to attack Liu Hui's midgame. Liu Hui heard the wind and knew that the two of them were not good at martial arts, so he turned around, snatched the knife and stick, and threw it back to the two, saying: "You two are good at following the kung fu, martial arts, far behind." The man who wielded the sword said, "We can't beat you, but I don't want to ask anything from our mouths." Liu Hui pulled out two guns and aimed them at the heads of the two, seeing that the faces of the two remained unchanged, he slowly closed his eyes and said with a smile: "There is backbone, it is the master, the two of you have been wronged." She sealed the acupuncture points of the two and threw them on the tree.

Xia Yifan saw it clearly, waited for Liu Hui to walk back to his side, and asked, "Why did you throw it on the tree?" Liu Hui said: "Those two people are very backbone, I can't ask anything, I sealed the acupoint, I was afraid that the wolf would eat it, so I had to throw it on the tree." ”

The sky gradually darkened, Xia Yifan looked at a hazy mountain range, and said, "Hui'er, the ridge in front may be Elm Ridge, you have to be careful." ”
