There are many caves in Shangkong Mountain. Almost the entire mountain was empty. The Liao Cave that is only accessible to the world on all sides. If it's your first time coming in and there's no one to guide you, it's easy to get lost.

After entering the cave, Wang Ping'an commanded, and several guards with better martial arts rushed to the front, not holding torches in their hands, and every time they encountered a corner of the cave. Then they fired arrows to find the way, in case there were robbers in ambush around the corner.

And in the back, Wang Ping'an led the way with a map. The guards found some torches in the cave, lit them, and followed Wang Ping'an. Every time he reached a fork in the road, Wang Ping'an shouted loudly and asked the guards who were exploring the road in front to release arrows to ensure the safety of the brigade.

Along the way, I encountered many robbers along the way. The robbers saw a brigade of officers and soldiers entering the mountain from here. He did not dare to stop it, but when he saw it from afar, he scattered and fled. In addition to the robbers, they also encountered a lot of Turkic soldiers, and when the Turkic soldiers saw Wang Ping'an, they gathered together and rushed inside with him!

Hardly any effective resistance was encountered. Wang Ping'an rushed to the central cave, that is, outside the big cave where Ran Zhisheng lived, and as soon as he rushed to the entrance of the big cave, he heard someone shouting loudly inside, and then shot arrows!

Qu Zhimao was embraced by a group of hardcore men. Looking at the entrance of the cave, he was furious in his heart, he had calculated all kinds of accidents, but he didn't count the wrong person!

Tonight, he lay down early, hoping to recuperate his strength, and estimated that the two messengers sent would be back at dawn to-morrow at the latest, and he had to think carefully about what to do next. But not long after the net lay down, a little minions came to report, saying that the fire was raised at the pass, and the officers and soldiers were killed!

Qu Zhimao was taken aback, the officers and soldiers went crazy. Knowing that they have hostages in their hands, they still dare to attack, could it be that they don't want Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu to live?

He immediately ordered his robbers to prepare for battle. The bandit gang in the Trap Mountain has one thousand two or three small minions, although most of them are not very good in combat, but they are familiar with the terrain and take advantage of the geographical advantage.

The robbers took up their weapons and blocked several important exits, and after a short time, the two messengers ran back. They are Qu Zhimao's hardcore dead soldiers, so naturally they will not betray him, after running back. The messenger told Qu Zhimao that Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian, as well as the assassin history of Guazhou, arrived together and led an army of nearly 2,000 people into the mountains to encircle and suppress!

Qu Zhimao was shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked why the officers and soldiers were so bold, weren't they afraid that Fang Xuanling would lose his life because of this?

The messenger let Wang Ping'an fall for it, and in turn, Wang Ping'an also let them fall for it! The messenger told Qu Zhimao that he had arrested the wrong person, and the two people he arrested, as well as those guards, were not really Fang Xuanling at all, but a stand-in. When they were in the middle of the city, I heard that they were still receiving thanks from the people at the castle!

Qu Zhimao was stupid all of a sudden, no wonder Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were so easy to catch.

The two of them were stupid and didn't stay at Yumen Pass, but they had to go to Guazhou, which was unreasonable, and it turned out to be a stand-in. This was unexpected!

Wang Ping'an, Wang Wendu and Gu Lan snatched the military power by the three, and Fang Xuanling was messing around inside, of course Qu Zhimao couldn't know about this kind of thing. At that time, I only thought that Fang Xuanling was very easy to grasp, and the good thing of pie falling from the sky was actually encountered by him, but now that I think about it, it seems that it is indeed a stand-in relationship. Otherwise, Fang Xuanling has nothing to do, he won't stay at Yumen Pass, what will he run to Guazhou!

figured out this," Qu Zhimao shouted, fooled. The anger is blazing, and the order must give the officers and soldiers some color to see! Trap Mountain has never been surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers. And the terrain is complicated, so he thinks it can still be resisted. Think normally. The officers and soldiers have always refused to give their strength to the bandits, and if the casualties are too large, they will just shout and withdraw their troops!

After a short time, Su Dingyi rushed into the mountains with his soldiers. At the entrances of the main caves, fight the bandits. Qu Zhimao was wrong again, the official army suppressed the bandits, and they were indeed unwilling to give up their strength, and if the county soldiers in various places were in the front, they would indeed see that the casualties were large, and they would retreat. But this time it was not ordinary officers and soldiers who came. It's the Turkic soldiers!

Su Dingfang didn't care about the life or death of the Turkic soldiers, whether the casualties were heavy or not, he didn't care at all, waved his sword in the rear line, and ordered the Turkic soldiers to attack with all their might. If there is a retreat, cut it in front of the battle, and never spare it!

How dare the Turkic soldiers retreat, and besides, the ones picked out are all elites, elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and few of them will be afraid of death, even if they are against the Tang Dynasty Army, they may not necessarily run away, not to mention that they are just fighting a group!

After a few fierce charges, the casualties of the Turkic soldiers were not greater, but the robbers did not collapse, the robbers collapsed first, losing several important caves in a row, and the position kept moving back, and they were about to retreat to the big cave!

Qu Zhimao was even more anxious, but at this time. A team of officers and soldiers actually came out of the remote cave, and I don't know how they found the way, they actually entered and attacked the big rock cave!

Qu Zhimao shouted: "Use the train to block the entrance to the cave, hurry!" ”

The robbers hurriedly pushed several broken carts out. There were bundles of dry firewood and large bales of hay on the cart, and after dropping the oil on it, the broken car was lit. Push to the entrance of the cave and seal the big cave!

It is known that the Hollow Mountain cannot be held. Qu Zhimao immediately made a decision, and led his subordinates to escape from the big cave from behind, looking for it

As soon as the place where the cave was on fire, the guards retreated one after another, shouting, "Master, you can't attack it." Those big carts are stuck in the cracks of the stones, and they can't be pushed away by weapons alone! ”

Wang Ping'an took the map, took advantage of the firelight, looked at it carefully, and said, "If you don't go from here." There's still a way to go, but it seems to be a tough one! ”

He turned his head and asked Hui Zheng, "This black line you draw." It's also a road, but how can it be a straight line? ”

Hui Zheng looked at the map, shook his head and said, "The local people who asked at that time, they couldn't say clearly. I only know that there is a road here, but I can't tell how to go, but there must be such a road! ”

Wang Ping'an hummed and pointed to another cave, which was narrow and dark, and the wind was gusting. It's very different from other holes, but if you look at the map that it leads directly to the bottomless pit, it's a straight line drawn on it!

With a wave of his hand, Wang Ping'an said, "Take this road." Exploring the path! ”

Several guards set the arrows on fire and fired their bows and arrows. The arrow went into the cave and illuminated it, and the cave seemed to extend downward, not flat.

Wang Ping'an said: "The cave that goes down." That's right, it's going to lead to the bottomless pit! With a wave of his hand, the guards rushed into the cave and ran forward, walking in the middle of the crowd, holding a map, and trotting too.

The black cave is extremely long, but fortunately, it is a straight line as drawn on the map, with no bends in between. When I walked a long way, I felt the wind in the cave. Bigger and bigger, and bigger and bigger!

Qiu Renjie followed behind Wang Ping'an and whispered: "Big brother, how can this cave give people a feeling that it seems to lead to hell!" ”

"Have you ever been to hell?" Wang Ping'an turned around and asked.

Qiu Renjie sighed and said, "Of course I haven't been." If you have been there, will you be able to come back alive! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Then how do you know that it leads to hell, isn't this nonsense!" "Talking in the mouth, not stopping in the feet!

After running a long way away, I suddenly heard a guard shouting in front of me, and then another guard shouted! One of the guards let go of his throat and shouted, "Stop." Stop, don't squeeze forward, there's an abyss ahead! ”

Wang Ping'an and the others hurriedly stopped, held torches, and looked ahead. Pity. There is light around you. In the distance, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, only sounds.

I heard some guards shouting, "Hold on, don't let go!" ”

Another guard shouted, "Who is so lacking in virtue?" Throwing things down? There are people on top, there are people hanging on top! ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly moved forward, brushed aside the guards, and came to the place where he was shouting in front. At the end of the cave, there was a black open space in front of it, but it was not actually an open space, but a deep hole that could not be seen to the end, like a well.

And the cave they walked in was on the wall of the well, five or six feet away from the top of the deep cave!

At the edge of the hole, the guards hugged one by one, and the first few people were still lying on the ground, as if they were pulling people up.

Wang Ping'an shouted, "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

One of the guards turned around and said, "I ran a little faster just now, the brother in front of me didn't catch his feet and fell out of the hole. ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, it's good that you didn't really fall!" He looked up through the gap in the crowd, and saw nothing to see at the entrance of the cave. A moment of effort. The guard who had been running first earlier was pulled up.

As soon as the guard came up, he exclaimed, "There are people hanging from it, and there are several large baskets, I can see them clearly!" ”

Wang Ping'an ran to the entrance of the cave, and the guards were afraid that he would fall, so one of the guards untied his belt and let him hold it. Wang Ping'an looked up and saw a faint light coming out of the cave wall above, and he could clearly see that there were a few black things hanging on it, whether it was a big basket or not, but he couldn't determine!

He shouted upwards: "Hey, is there anyone up there, is it Fang Xiangye?" ”

This is the bottomless pit, and the few black things on it are naturally big baskets, and Fang Xuanling is sitting in the basket!

Fang Xuanling shouted downward: "Yes, the old man is here, but is he not sick?" He was now a little prostrate, and his voice was not loud enough, and just now he heard someone shouting below, and he threw the water bottle down.

There was light above, but it was dark below, he couldn't see Wang Ping'an at all, he could only judge that there was someone below by his voice, and it seemed to be Wang Ping'an!

Wang Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard Fang Xuanling's voice. Finally found the old man Fang, he is really in a big trouble, so he has to find something to do for himself! He shouted: "Fang Xiangye, don't be impatient, the lower officials will send someone up to save you!" ”

He looked back and asked, "Who is good at climbing?" Now that you have merit, if you rescue Fang Xiangye, you will be able to stop it in the future! ”

The guards shook their heads together, to say climb high. That's not difficult, but the problem is that if you climb high on the walls of a bottomless pit, it's even more difficult. And Wang Ping'an's most powerful subordinates, as the vanguard, are fighting against the robbers guarding the cave!
