Chapter 9: Jiuhua Tiger escapes

There was a miasma of smoke in the Juyi Hall, and the heart of the Jiuhua Tiger was not here at all, but flew to the Jiao Niang in the house. He kept persuading his subordinates to drink, but he drank very little. "The big shopkeeper, a group of strongmen came to the Nameless Valley, and we kidnapped their people, so we have to guard against it." The triangular-eyed military division spoke. "Tomorrow will send the brothers to closely monitor the Nameless Valley, and we must find out where they come from. Don't worry, Causeway Village has been relieved through hardships. At that time, the officers and soldiers pressed the border several times, but they didn't hurt me a single hair. "At this moment, where did Jiuhuahu think that the cottage had already come to the uninvited guest.

"Strategist, you are here to greet the brothers, and I am back in the house!" Jiuhua Hu smiled lewdly and couldn't wait, got up and went back to the cave room. Ouyang Jian led his subordinates to quickly approach the Juyi Hall, and the bandits were shouting inside, making a lot of noise. The two bandits standing guard in front of the door looked inside with a wine bowl in one hand and meat in the other. Ouyang Jian waved his hand, and the two soldiers quickly stepped forward, silently killed the two bandits, and then took over the position of the bandit sentry. The bandits inside were still shouting and screaming, not even noticing.

Ouyang Jian led people to the door, and the old bandit who led the way said that the big and small leaders of the bandits were all there, and there were no Jiuhua Tigers inside. Ouyang Jian was a little anxious when he heard this, according to the time calculation, it was impossible for Xiao Feng to enter the cave room at this time, and it would take half an hour at the earliest. Ouyang Jian took out his pocket watch and checked it, only 15 minutes had passed since the action began, and he had to wait for Xiao Feng to enter the room before he could make a move. Ouyang Jian calmly observed the situation inside, and the old bandit was pointing beside him, and the targets that were about to be hunted came into his sight one by one. Minutes and seconds passed, and suddenly a bandit left the table and walked crookedly towards the door, shouting loudly as he walked: "Little Liuzi, I brought you wine!" ”

The situation suddenly changed, and there was no hesitation, Ouyang Jian made a decisive move, raised his hand and shot it, only to see that the head of the second master was blown up. Then they fired continuously, and several bandit leaders were shot one after another, and they died with a whimper. The soldiers rushed swiftly and shouted: "Don't move, don't shoot." The bandits in the hall suddenly blew up their nests, and when they saw that there were not many people coming in, some pulled out their guns and tried to resist, and some fled through the windows. Ouyang Jian stood in front of the door and did not pay attention to the fleeing bandits, but gave a little name to the bandits who tried to resist.

Under a chaotic firefight, some of the bandits jumped out of the window and fled, and the bandits who tried to resist were named. The remaining bandits surrendered one after another. At this time, there were also gunshots outside, and there was no doubt that they had nowhere to escape. The battle in the hall ended in less than 10 minutes, Ouyang Jian ordered the soldiers to guard the bandits, and then took the guard pony, and under the guidance of the old bandits, he went straight to Jiuhuahu's bedroom without stopping. Jiuhuahu's bedroom is above the Juyi Hall, located at the junction of the Juyi Hall and the cave, and is connected by stone steps.

To enter Jiuhuahu's bedroom, you had to go through the Juyi Hall and follow the stone steps to go up, so Ouyang Jian arranged for Xiao Feng to climb the rock outside, intending to protect Lu Wenting. Before the battle started, the two women in the bedroom were in charge of taking care of Lu Wenting, afraid that she would find a short time. The room was a little dim, and an oil lamp flickered. "Girl, our women's lives are hard, you have to think about it." "Girl, don't be embarrassed for the two of us, if you have three long and two short, how can we live, girl, beg you." The two women chattered, for fear that Lu Wenting wouldn't be able to think about it.

There was a big red robe on the bed, but Lu Wenting refused to wear it. At the moment she was sitting on the bed, her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen. She has a pair of scissors hidden in her cuffs, and she wants to fight to the death, and she will never let Jiuhua Tiger defile herself. "Haha, how's the lady! I miss it! With the voice, Jiuhua Tiger Fan walked in. Shopkeeper, Madame is safe and sound to you! The two women finally breathed a sigh of relief. Go down! Jiuhua Tiger smiled lewdly and looked at Lu Wenting.

Lu Wenting stood up suddenly with angry eyes, and took the opportunity to show her scissors and stab her neck. Jiuhua Tiger quickly grabbed his arm and grabbed the scissors. "Don't think about it, don't open it, be my wife of the village, and keep it for you to eat and drink spicy food. Look, this little touch is pitiful. Suddenly, there was a gunshot in the hall below, and Jiuhua Tiger had experienced a lot of hardships, and immediately realized that it was not good. He swung his fist and knocked Lu Wenting unconscious and hugged him by the waist. At this moment, the window lattice was kicked open, and Xiao Feng flew in and arrived in time.

Jiuhua Tiger was shocked, and saw that the person who broke through the window was holding a gun in his hand, and smashed Lu Wenting towards Xiao Feng in a crisis. Xiao Feng hurriedly caught Lu Wenting, and due to inertia, he was brought down, and Jiuhuahu took the opportunity to rush to the room next to him. At this time, two soldiers also jumped in through the window. Xiao Feng handed Lu Wenting over to a soldier to take care of, so that another soldier could rush into the next room. The room was stacked with miscellaneous items, and a closet door opened against the wall, revealing a hole in the floor. Obviously, Jiuhuahu escaped along the hole in the ground, Xiao Feng did not hesitate and led a soldier in pursuit.

A shot rang out outside, and a bandit ran in with a gun in his hand and fell to the ground, his back grunting and bleeding. Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Jian's figure appeared. "Captain, Miss Lu is fine, but she is in a coma. Jiuhuahu ran along the dark road, and Captain Xiao led people to chase after him. "The soldier responsible for protecting Lu Wenting.

Ouyang Jian checked Lu Wenting's condition and found that the temple area was red and swollen, obviously knocked unconscious. At this time, Lu Wenting opened her eyes, and Ouyang Jian's face appeared in her sight. "Miss Lu, don't worry, you're fine!" "Captain Ouyang!" Mixed with joy and sorrow, Lu Wenting, who was extremely weak, shouted and fainted. The captured bandits in the hall knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, and Zhang Shiying reported: "Captain, kill 38 bandits and wound 10." 55 prisoners were captured, and the escape of the bandit leader Jiuhuahu is unknown. Captain Xiao did not return from the pursuit, and I have already sent someone to answer it. ”

"Captain Zhang, find a place to detain the bandits, and tomorrow you will personally interrogate them, and all those who have been murdered will be screened out. The rest can be transformed, let them change their minds and start anew. "Captain, there are more than a dozen women here, who were robbed up the mountain by bandits, and one of them was kidnapped half a year ago, and the girl is very sick." Ask the hygienist to take a look and try to treat it. Tomorrow, I will ask Miss Lu to understand the situation and let them leave and go home for reunion as soon as possible. ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Feng came back tired. "Captain, due to the unfamiliar terrain, let Jiuhua Tiger run away! I didn't complete the task. "Xiao Feng is of medium stature, 26 years old. He doesn't usually talk much, but he acts decisively and smartly. "Don't blame yourself, we'll catch him in the future." Ouyang Jian patted him on the shoulder and motioned to rest. After eating morning and evening, the soldiers asked for some loot, Ouyang Jian walked out of the room, circled around the Tongluo Village and came to the gate of the village. "Captain, Tongluo Village is indeed dangerous, if there is no secret passage, we can't attack it at all!"

Standing in front of the walled gate, Ouyang Jian looked at the steep mountain road and did not deny the pony's judgment. "Captain, you're looking for me!" With the words, Hao Lei appeared in front of him in high spirits! "Is Miss Lu better?" "It's just that it's not a big deal to be frightened." "Where do you think Jiuhua Tiger has gone!" Hao Lei pondered for a while and said, "I estimate that Jiuhua Tiger is very likely to defect to Wu Damabang, and he has nowhere to go." "You mean Jiuhua Tiger went to Meiling?" "Meiling is Wu Damabang's territory, and they have a good relationship with each other, do you want to strangle Wu Damabang?"

Ouyang Jian shook his head and said, "The time is not ripe now, let's talk about it after a while." "Report to the captain, please assign a job?" Accompanied by Yingge Yanyu, Lu Wenting appeared. Seeing that Lu Wenting had recovered, Ouyang Jian smiled and said, "Miss Lu, there are more than a dozen women who have been abducted up the mountain on the mountain, you go and find out the situation." In addition, it is good to appease, and everyone will send them down the mountain. "Captain Ouyang, aren't we going back?" Lu Wenting was slightly surprised. "Look, why do you want to go back here, I think it's good here." Ouyang Jian teased, Lu Wenting pursed her lips and threw down a word of bad luck, then turned around and left.

Then Ouyang Jian went to visit Mu Shixiong's injury, and I am afraid that yesterday's toss was enough. Fortunately, Mu Shixiong's injury is not serious, but he needs to recuperate. Ouyang Jian exchanged pleasantries, and then walked out of the room. "Report to the captain, Captain Zhang asked you to go to the Juyi Hall immediately, and tell you something important." Ouyang Jian was slightly surprised, and immediately rushed to the Juyi Hall. There are no bandits in it anymore, and it seems that the work of screening bandits is over. A hole appeared under the bandit leader's seat, and it seemed that the third secret passage had been found. "Captain, Captain Zhang let you in." A soldier reported.

Ouyang Jian walked to the entrance of the cave and found a stone step deep into the ground, it is not difficult to see that the traces of artificial carving are obvious, and there is no doubt that the secret passage artificially built by the bandits is undoubted. After going down the stone steps and turning a few corners, the front suddenly opened up, and the entrance to the cave became very open. I saw that there were a lot of sacks piled up in the wide cave, and Zhang Shiying was checking it. "Captain, the bandit military division explained this secret hole, I didn't expect that there was bandits' food in it, I preliminarily checked it and estimated that there were tens of thousands of catties." Zhang Shiying was extremely excited and said happily.

"It seems that the bandits are living a very nourishing life, now these good things are ours, the concealment performance of the Nameless Valley is not good, I am ready to settle in Tongluo Village, what is your opinion?" "Captain, the hero sees the same thing, I was about to tell you." "Captain, here's a cash box!" The guard pony seems to have discovered the New World and is shouting loudly. Sure enough, a cash box sat down, the cash box was full of dust, and a copper lock hung outside. "Smash the copper lock open!" Ouyang Jian ordered. After a while, the copper lock was smashed open, and the lid of the cash box was opened, revealing white flowers and silver dollars, and more than ten gold bars in one corner. "Captain, we sent it, it seems that this is Jiuhuahu's private money."

"Jiuhua Tiger has been a bandit for more than ten years, and some dry goods are normal. Counting the silver dollars and gold bars, we will officially set up the logistics account from today. Everyone hurriedly counted the silver dollars, and Ouyang Jian was attracted by the sticks of different lengths stacked on the inside of the lid of the cash box. Dingqing saw that it was a monocular commonly used by Westerners in the early years, and it seemed that these monoculars were snatched by Jiuhuahu. Ouyang Jian raised his legs and walked away, and suddenly realized something: "Pony! "Put these binoculars away for me and keep them, I'll be useful!" After counting, there were 5,300 silver dollars, 12 gold bars, and a windfall.

Xiao Feng fell asleep and appeared in front of Ouyang Jian. "The captain has a mission?" "I'm going to put down roots in Causeway Village for the time being, which is very secluded. You lead the team to the Nameless Valley, and let Deputy Captain Li and the remaining personnel come to Tongluo Village. Your team is temporarily stationed in Nameless Valley, which will become our transportation station in the future. "Yes, I'll leave immediately." The bandits were interrogated one by one, and 65 bandits, including 10 wounded, were investigated. After careful screening, 26 bandits were detained in solitary confinement, and the other 39 bandits were rehabilitated.

Ouyang Jian was going to hand over these bandits who needed to be reformed to Li Guangda, and while reforming the bandits, let them receive regular military training. The old bandit who fed the horses was surnamed Zhang and belonged to the meritorious personnel, Ouyang Jian decided to let him continue to feed the horses, and this time he captured 5 war horses in Tongluo Village.
