Chapter 38 (1) Straight to the Middle Palace

Everyone left Ledao and withdrew their troops back, and Shi Suo asked Duan Laosan: "Where do you go to find a guide?" ”

"The last time we transported guns from the water, we caught two little bandits in the lake, do you remember?"

"Remember, didn't you put it later?"

Duan Laosan told everyone about the little man when he went to Baihua Temple to save the Niu Zhu child, and everyone knew that the lake bandit Shen Jingang had another den, Shi Suo patted his head, "Yes, yes, what is the name of a word?" The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Shen Jingang has a nest in Baihua Temple, which is not unusual at all, and there may be other places. ”

Returning to the shore along the same road, Xu Hou said: "Lao Duan, I will also join your team, anyway, Lao Jiang said that when she is done with her own affairs, she will return to you, and we will go together as a family, do you agree?" ”

Duan Laosan smiled: "Of course, I can't ask for it, but for now, it's better not to go with us first." ”

"Why?"

"Brother-in-law, there is an important task, I want to ask you for help, we must eradicate this bandit in the lake, but at the moment there are only three boats in total, if you and Lao Qi can borrow one or two more, when we enter the lake again, our combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced, and it will be more advantageous to deal with Shen Jingang."

"That's fine." Xu Hou and Lao Qi said together.

Duan Laosan and the team members all took off their military uniforms, changed into civilian clothes, abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and went straight to Baihua Temple. Dafeng washed his head and face with lake water for a long time before washing away the black ash dust, Shi Suo smiled: "This time you follow Duan Laosan as a beggar, you don't need to disguise." ”

When he arrived at Baihuaji Village, Duan Laosan asked others to hide at the edge of the village, and went to the temple alone, he walked to the miscellaneous fruit forest on the slope, and saw that the outside of the temple was still deserted, and he didn't find anything abnormal, he didn't know what new changes had happened to the bandits after he had a big fight with Thor last time, is the little man still in the temple?

Look at the left near nobody. Duan Laosan hid at the edge of the woods and put a half-hung whip.

"Crackle trumpet," the whip burst continuously in the quiet woods, though it was not yet the first month. Firecrackers are not unusual, but there is still some distance from the village in this small forest, and the sound of firecrackers still attracted the attention of the temple, and after a while, two monks walked out of the temple. After inspecting the woods, Duan Laosan hid under the mound, and the monks did not see a human figure, so they looked around the firecracker debris and went back.

After a meal, the little man came out.

He walked outside the temple, out of the woods, and while looking around, he walked in the direction of Baihuaji Village, and turned a corner. When he arrived at a place that was out of sight in the temple, Duan Laosan walked over from the side of the road.

"You're finally here," said the little man, "and as soon as I hear the firecrackers, I know there's something good, hehe." ”

"Let's go to the edge of the village."

The two of them came to the edge of the village and saw Shi Suo, Dafeng and others, the little man still recognized these people, greeted everyone with a smile, and Shi Suo patted him on the shoulder. "Very good, I heard Lao Duan say that you are undercover in the temple, good, how is the temple now?"

"Hey, hey. I have contacted several brothers, but you don't know that many people are fed up with the oppression of their leaders, but they dare not speak out, and everyone is happy when I collude. Let's prepare to fight back the water together, and I'm waiting for you to come. The little man said proudly.

At that moment, the little man told everyone in detail about the terrain in the temple and the garrison of the bandits, Duan Laosan and Hu Xuan, Shi Suo and others studied the plan to attack the Baihua Temple, and the little man returned to the temple in a hurry.

In the evening, when the moon rose, Duan Laosan led the team to the outside of the temple.

The night is quiet, according to the information of the little man, the front and back corners of the temple, each has a sentry, tonight it happens that the sentry in the southeast corner is his own people, can be answered, everyone is full of confidence in this battle, the number of bandits is not much, and there is no fast gun, the night attack on them is a surprise, it should be captured.

The temple was silent in the dark, everyone hid in the woods, stared at the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, waited for a while, their eyes were sour, a little spark lit up above the wall, and Shi Suo said, "Coming, coming." ”

Mars drew a few circles, which was the code that had been negotiated with the little man.

"Up," Duan Laosan said softly.

"Wait," Dafeng stopped everyone, "listen. She pointed to the road down the slope, and the night was dark, and she could not see anything in the distance, but in her ears she heard a faint sound of footsteps, far and near.

On the wall, the red sparks circled again, and it seemed that they were in a hurry, but at this time, the footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer, and a black figure had already appeared in the field of vision, and walked into the miscellaneous fruit forest. Duan Laosan whispered, "Don't move, everyone." ”

As the footsteps got closer and closer, the sound of chaotic talking also came, and it was impossible to hear what was said, but it was vaguely distinguishable that it was mostly rude sounds, mixed with scolding and swearing, some people carried things on their shoulders and carried things in their hands, although the moon was dim, but occasionally there were reflections, and it seemed that they were carrying weapons such as knives and guns.

"Bandits," Hu Xuan whispered as he lay beside Duan Laosan.

These people who walked into the miscellaneous fruit forest did not line up in a queue, but a chaotic swarm of bees, which seemed to be about twenty people, and went straight to the Baihua Temple. Duan Laosan secretly screamed in his heart, he had already seen that these people were bandits, and it was likely that they were Shen Jingang and his gang who had fought in the lake during the day.

"What to do? Hit? Shi Suo and Da Feng both came up from the cat's waist next to them.

Duan Laosan was in a dilemma, if he started attacking these bandits who came over on the road now, of course he could beat them off guard, but in this way, it would be difficult to take care of the bandits in the temple, and if he did it well, he would form a rout, and if he didn't get it right, he might be attacked by two times. However, if you don't attack, these new bandits enter the temple, then the number of bandits in the temple will increase greatly, and the armed members around them are less than 20 people, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on Duan Laosan, at this time, in this difficult situation, it depends on the commander's analysis and judgment ability.

After thinking about it for a while, Duan Laosan made a bold decision and said to everyone: "Let them enter the temple." ”

Soon, the group of figures entered the Baihua Temple. The mountain gate of the monastery was closed, and peace was restored in the fruit grove. (To be continued.) )
