The sunset in the west has quietly hung on the Vulture Peak, and a touch of afterglow is sprinkled on the West Mountain, which looks a little beautiful. A dark shadow shuttles through the weeds beside a rugged mountain road. Take a closer look, it's not Xing Honglin, who is it. Xing Honglin turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery at dusk beside him, he didn't have Qin Xuan's leisure and elegance to admire and praise him.

The weeds were more than a foot high, and Xing Honglin walked quickly into them, rustling. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xing Honglin felt a little conflicted in his heart, thinking that it was easy to hide when it was dark, but also worried that he would not be able to see the situation clearly, lose his square inch, and not be able to find the green smoke.

After a few more moments, Xing Honglin came to the place where he met the scholar, thinking that the scholar suddenly appeared here, Xing Honglin squatted in the weeds on the side with great caution and looked around. I didn't notice anything unusual left and right, so I turned around and gradually moved my gaze upward, thinking to myself: The scholar appeared from above and rolled down......

After a moment, Xing Honglin, who came back to his senses, moved his hips up slightly, and his legs suddenly exerted force, like a leopard jumping out. Reaching out and grabbing a rock overhead, he came to rest again. With the strength of his arms, his body bent and jumped up with a "whoosh". It's really like a light swallow, and after a few movements, it didn't make any sound.

Xing Honglin did not immediately move casually, but closed his eyes, lay on the ground, and listened carefully. Sensing that there was no danger, he half-crouched and walked eastward. The further he went, the more cautious Xing Honglin became, and every few steps he took, he had to wait and see. He didn't want to ruin Qin Xuan's affairs and cause Ye Le to be in danger because of his carelessness.

Night has come, Xing Honglin's eyes can only see a few feet away, the night breeze is blowing slowly, and it is also a little cool, Xing Honglin doesn't care, he is still sneaking eastward. Suddenly, Xing Honglin vaguely heard someone talking, and immediately lay on the ground and crawled forward. Walking under a boulder, Xing Honglin was finally able to hear clearly.

"Big brother, slow down!" The voice was a little childish, and Xing Honglin felt that the person who spoke should not be very old.

"Do you want to see it?" Kindness? The sound is so familiar! Xing Honglin couldn't help but say secretly in his heart. By the way, it's the scholar!

The two of you said a word, I said a word, and hurriedly passed over the stone above Xing Honglin's head, Xing Honglin couldn't help but beat faster, and curled up slightly.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped just a few feet away from the boulder. A childish person speaks in a somewhat impatient tone. "Brother Guan, I'm not going!"

The scholar immediately sneered a few times and replied, "Anyway, you and I will keep vigil tonight, so it's okay to stay away from the gang!" Could it be that you are scared, brother? I really didn't expect the son of Deacon Yuan to be so timid! After a pause, he spoke again: "You are not even as good as the newcomer Ye Le, that kid dares to go to the gambling house when he goes out on an errand!" After speaking, he made a few pouting sounds.

"Hmph, I'll be worse than Ye Le's house?" The voice is still childish, but full of unyielding,

"Or else?"

The scholar's words were obviously a little agitated, but the childish person didn't notice it, and blurted out: "Hmph, I'm not afraid, just go!" ”

The two gradually drifted apart, but Xing Honglin under the stone did not relax his spirit, at this moment he was sure that the Salt Gang was in the east. Hunched on, more cautious than before.

I don't know how much time passed, Xing Honglin finally saw two bright spots dimly. Immediately crawling forward, and walking hundreds of zhang away, Xing Honglin saw a house, one left and one right, each with a person holding a torch, and a gap of nearly two zhang was cleared around the house. Xing Honglin looked at it for a long time and found that he had no chance to get close to the mansion, so he walked around the mansion along the woods.

Walking to the east of the house, Xing Honglin lay on his stomach in the grass, secretly wondering: The old nest of the Salt Gang is already sure that this house is here, should I immediately return to Yuhang to tell my son, or do I sneak in and take a good look......

After pondering for a moment, Xing Honglin decided to take a risk, but he was cautious and would not act recklessly. After walking in the grass for a long time, I picked up a stone and threw it into the courtyard.

The stone landed on the ground with a "clatter", and then someone could be heard. "Third child, did you hear anything?"

"What's the sound, you kid is having hysteria again!"

"Did I hear it wrong?"

"Don't fucking think about it, go to bed!"

"The helper asked you and me to patrol the east courtyard, and I can't sleep under the tree!"

"Do you love to sleep?"

Immediately fell into silence again, Xing Honglin saw this, immediately dispelled the idea of entering the hospital, turned around and returned the same way.

The next day, in Qin Xuan's study, Qin Xuan, Liu Qingshan, and Yang Linqiu sat around the table, discussing how to let more than a thousand guards sneak into the West Mountain, and Xing Honglin hurried forward. "Childe, it has been ascertained that the lair of the Salt Gang is in the West Mountain!"

Qin Xuan got up abruptly and blurted out, "Really? ”

"That's absolutely right, not only did I find a house, but I also heard a few people talking!" Xing Honglin nodded, and then said: "There should be two people guarding the courtyard gate at night in the Salt Gang's nest, and the other two are patrolling around!" ”

Qin Xuan frowned, waved his hand and said, "Honglin, you go eat something first, I worked hard for you last night!" ”

Xing Honglin bowed his head slightly, and blurted out: "It's okay, son!" After saying that, he gave another salute and turned to leave.

After Xing Honglin left, Qin Xuan immediately said what he thought in his heart. "Now that the location of the Salt Gang's lair has been determined, the question is back to what Fang just said, it is not a simple matter to let a thousand guards sneak into the West Mountain!"

Yang Linqiu thought for a moment, didn't know what to think, and blurted out: "My lord, since Honglin can sneak into the West Mountain quietly, can the guards of Zhichong Mansion also find some people as athletic as Honglin?" ”

Qin Xuan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "It should be possible!" After speaking, he pursed his lips and said, "This matter must be discussed with Zhao Duwei Haosheng before a decision can be made!" ”

Liu Qingshan said coldly: "Since the matter of the Salt Gang's lair has a charter, what about the people who assassinate the Shifu? If Zhao Duwei sent troops, what news would those people in the Assassin Mansion who had collusion with the Salt Gang get......

Liu Qingshan didn't finish his words, but Qin Xuan heard it very clearly, nodded and said, "Yes, if you can't catch it all, you can uproot one salt gang today, and maybe another salt gang will appear tomorrow!" And Ye Le is still in the Salt Gang at the moment, so he has to think about it! ”

The room suddenly fell silent, and Qin Xuan and the three of them all pondered for themselves. Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Linqiu's mouth, and he said, "My lord, Xia Guan has an idea!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled, "Master Yang, let's talk about it!" ”

I saw Yang Linqiu dipping water from the teacup, writing and drawing on the desktop, before Yang Linqiu finished writing, Qin Xuan slapped his hands and blurted out: "Good plan!" ”

Seeing that Qin Xuan was able to understand at one point, Yang Linqiu was very relieved and smiled slightly.

Qin Xuan pursed his lips, thinking about it for a long time, and then with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he blurted out: "I have also figured out Ye Le's matter!" Without further ado, I'll go to Zhichong Mansion to find Captain Zhao! ”

Yang Linqiu didn't know what to think, and hurriedly said, "My lord, take Honglin!" ”

Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, then nodded. "Well, Master Yang doesn't say it, I'll also bring Honglin!"

After Xing Honglin ate something, Qin Xuan and the others drove their horses out of Yuhang and went straight to Qiantang County.

Walking to Zhichong Mansion, the doorman was still the same person who Qin Xuan came last time, and when he saw Qin Xuan, he greeted him, bowed his head slightly and said: "Qin Gongzi, Zhao Duwei has ordered, if you come, you don't need to ask for instructions, go directly to the inner hall." ”

In the inner hall, Zhao Siyuan was chatting with Sui Yunping, and when he saw Qin Xuan walking in, he hurriedly got up to meet him. "Lord Qin!"

Sui Yunping on the side couldn't help but be a little curious: Who is this person, Zhao Duwei is a four-grade captain, and he can be regarded as a big party in Hangzhou! Why do you give him a salute?

Zhao Siyuan caught a glimpse of Sui Yunping's face and was a little surprised, and said, "Yunping, close the door!" I'll talk to you later! ”

Sui Yunping nodded slightly, then turned around and closed the door.

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Sui Yunping, but did not speak. Zhao Siyuan comprehended and blurted out: "Lord Qin has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, Yun Ping is a lowly cronie!" ”

Qin Xuan nodded and said, "The Salt Gang Nest has already found out the specific location!" ”

When Zhao Siyuan heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Oh? He led his troops to the lowly position, and he will definitely eradicate the old nest of the Salt Gang! ”

Qin Xuan waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what I mean!" ”

Zhao Siyuan thought for a while, then blurted out: "If Lord Qin is a problem, just give orders!" ”

Qin Xuan didn't know what to think, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Sui Yunping, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"This is the lowly deputy general Zuo Guoyi, the commander of Sui Yunping!"

Zhao Siyuan had just finished speaking, although Sui Yunping didn't understand Qin Xuan's identity, but looking at the situation, he also knew that Qin Xuan's identity was not low, so he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Sui Yunping has seen Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Xuan waved his hand casually and said with a smile: "Sui Duwei is not polite!" He turned his head to look at Zhao Siyuan, and asked again: "Zhichong Mansion, can you find another person who can be trusted!" ”

"There is also Ling Zhiyang, the commander of Youguo Yi, both of whom came from Kyoto with their humble duties, and they are absolutely convincing!"

When Qin Xuan heard this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he immediately smiled: "Captain Sui, please find Ling Zhiyang and Ling Duwei!" ”

Sui Yunping arched his hand and said: "Obey orders!" With that, he turned and walked out of the room.

Qin Xuan and Zhao Siyuan exchanged a few words, and Sui Yunping took a burly man and slowly entered. Sui Yunping's mind was quite thoughtful, and he closed the door after entering the door. Seeing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but glance at him in his heart.

Xu is Sui Yunping and Ling Zhiyang said something, only to see Ling Zhiyang walk into the hall, he bowed his hand and said: "Ling Zhiyang, the right Guoyi Commander of Hangzhou Zhechong Mansion, has seen Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and signaled, "Captain Ling doesn't have to be polite!" After a slight pause, he said with a smile: "Sit down!" ”

After Zhao Siyuan and the others sat down again, Qin Xuan stood directly in front of the table in the hall, turned around and looked at Zhao Siyuan and the others one by one.
