Two hours later, it was dark, and the guards outside the cave had lit torches like stars, and the mountain peaks were full of light.

Chen Jianxi led the five guards back with a disgraced face. Seeing Qin Xuan and Qi Shanxing, he hurriedly spoke: "Two adults, there are many thieves hidden in the cave, and several guards have already died in them. ”

Qi Shanxing frowned and said hurriedly: "How many bandits are there?" ”

"It's not a few, I and these five guards found it early, and we hurriedly exited the cave, otherwise we would definitely die in the cave." Chen Jianxi paused slightly, and looked at Qin Xuan from time to time, seeing that Qin Xuan had no expression, he then proposed: "Lord Qi, let's send more guards, and the ability of subordinates to adapt to emergencies is too poor, it is best for the two adults to go in and grasp the overall situation!" ”

After listening to Chen Jianxi's words, Qi Shanxing nodded slightly, looking like he mostly wanted to agree to Chen Jianxi's proposal. Qin Xuan frowned, glanced at Chen Jianxi, and said in his heart: "Could it be that I am too careful?" Chen Jianxi is not a mole? ”

Seeing Qin Xuan deep in thought, Qi Shanxing did not speak immediately, but stared at Qin Xuan directly, waiting for Qin Xuan to speak. Chen Jianxi on the side couldn't help but set his eyes on Qin Xuan.

Suddenly, the corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared. Seeing this, Qi Shanxing stretched out his hand and signaled: "Nephew Qin Xian, could it be that there is any good plan?" Then speak up! ”

Qin Xuan nodded, looked at Chen Jianxi, and asked with a smile, "Chen Jianxi, have you seen the thief?" ”

Chen Jianxi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yes, the five guards and I have seen the anti-thieves, and there should be a lot of them!" ”

"Oh? Is the cave spacious? ”

"This ......" Chen Jianxi pondered for a long time before he spoke: "No, the height is not more than two zhang, and the width is less than three zhang." ”

"Is the secret passage straight?"

"No, the secret passage winds its way!"

"Then why do you see a lot of guards?"

On the side, he saw Qin Xuan interrogating Chen Jianxi. Immediately waved his hand and said: "Nephew Qin Xian, don't study these in detail, let's hurry up and think of a way, if this group of thieves can escape, the old man will have trouble sleeping!" ”

Qin Xuan smiled and said, "Lord Qi, the junior has three strategies here, and Lord Qi will think carefully before making a decision!" Seeing Qi Shanxing's signal, Qin Xuan said again: "Make a decision." As Chen Jianxi said, send more guards into the cave. In the middle of the policy, directly at the mouth of the cave a hay tree, apply smoke. What a strategy! ”

Hearing Qin Xuan say that Chen Jianxi's words were the next policy, Qi Shanxing couldn't help but glance at Qin Xuan, and after listening to the middle policy, Qi Shanxing almost started to implement it immediately, but he thought that there was still a good policy. didn't speak, seeing that Qin Xuan was a little hesitant, he hurriedly said: "Don't sell the guanzi nephew, let's talk about the best strategy!" ”

A wicked smile flashed at the corner of Qin Xuan's mouth. He said: "The best strategy is to find hundreds of wolf dogs and put them directly into the cave." With the smell of a wolf dog, you will definitely be able to find the thief in the cave. And if there are wolf dogs to open the way, the guards will not be hurt. ”

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, the corners of Chen Jianxi's mouth couldn't help but twitch. I couldn't help but secretly slander in my heart: "Qin Xuan's son is really ruthless, if these hundreds of wolf dogs enter the cave, I'm afraid my brother's plan will be difficult to succeed......"

Qin Xuan, who had been paying attention to Chen Jianxi, naturally also saw Chen Jianxi's abnormality, and said secretly: "Chen Jianxi, as I expected, I'll just say, the cave here is so secret, you can actually see it." You anti-thief traitor, I must let you outlaws come to an end! It's time to settle the grudge against the attack on the other hospital......"

Just as Qin Xuan was pondering, Chen Jianxi said leisurely: "Lord Qin, there is something wrong with this matter, not to mention where the hundreds of wolf dogs are to be found, wouldn't the wolf dogs just talk to the guards?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "What? Want to persuade me? After a pause, he said casually: "This matter has been thought about clearly, and he directly asked the nearby people to bring their wolf dogs to help, just put the wolf dogs into the cave." The guards sealed the cave and everything was fine! ”

Under the persuasion on the side, he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, this plan is very wonderful!" After saying that, he turned to several guards and said, "Go and look for the wolf dog nearby!" ”

When it was about time to go, the whole forbidden place was full of dog barking, one after another, and everyone was a little frightened to hear it. As soon as Qi Shanxing gave an order, hundreds of wolf dogs poured directly into the cave. The barking sound of the dog came from the cave, making Qin Xuan feel very proud in his heart, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a smile.

On the afternoon of the second day, Yang Ling and Jiao Gui led 3,600 people, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the barbarians was busy resisting the enemy head-on and resisting left and right, and quietly pounced on Liu Lang, the capital of Wudu, lying on a boulder with four walls like sharpening and a flat top, with his head resting on his arms, looking at the clear blue sky stupidly, and a trace of cloud-like smoke faintly drifted in the sky, with some mush.

In the cave, there are two anti-thieves, who should be sentinels. One of them, a middle-aged man in his forties, chewed a grass stalk, and looked at Qin Chu from time to time, looking a little calm. The young people around me are not as calm as the middle-aged people. Staring at the front tremblingly, he asked, "Uncle Duan, do you think the official army will enter the cave?" ”

The middle-aged man spit out the grass stalk in his mouth, looked into the distance, and said casually: "Don't worry, don't forget that Dao Chang is very powerful, and didn't you see Dao Chang Chen coming in with ten guards just now?" That's when the officers and soldiers came to investigate the situation, maybe they were already ready to go into the cave! ”

The young man still seemed to be a little worried: "Uncle Duan, do you think that the forage we put in the cave can really burn the officers and soldiers?" ”

The middle-aged man directly reached out and patted the young man's head. "Second baby, don't be afraid, even if you can't burn this group of officers and soldiers, you have to let them lose their skin, the Taoist can say, you want to take us to make contributions, when the time comes, they will all be big officials, riding a high-headed horse, but they will be majestic!"

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind him. "Duan Tiehammer, Erwazi, stop talking. In case the officers and soldiers come in and hear it, be careful that the Taoist leader cleans you up! ”

Hearing this, Duan Tiehammer and Erwazi squatted on the side and watched. Suddenly, the second baby frowned and exclaimed, "Uncle Duan, there are dogs barking, and it's not one or two, at least fifty, not one hundred." No, more! ”

Duan Tiezhu said casually: "What are you talking about, why didn't I listen to ......" Before he finished speaking, Duan Tiezhu heard the barking of the dog, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Second baby, run!" As he spoke, he got up and ran back.

The more than 100 anti-thieves behind him couldn't help but be a little puzzled and angry when they saw Duan Tie Hammer and the second baby running over, and the person in charge was just about to ask. Then he heard the barking of the dog, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, retreat quickly, retreat backwards!" ”

More than 100 thieves crowded into a cave that could accommodate four or five people, where could they run past hundreds of wolf dogs, and after a while they were caught up, and they didn't have time to react at all, when they heard the screams of "ah-ah-ah".

However, due to the limitations of the cave, the innermost thieves had a chance to escape. But it's just a chance. I saw that those thieves pushed me and I retreated from you, and no one let anyone, and they were about to go to the other side of the cave, but they didn't want the wolf dog behind them to approach. Just poked his head out of the cave. was bitten on the thigh by a wolfdog. "Ahh

However, he said that Qin Xuan and the others had waited outside the cave for more than half a moment, and Qin Xuan said, "Lord Qi, ask a few burly guards to open the way." Let's go in and have a look. ”

The guards couldn't help but be a little disgusted by Qin Xuan's proposal, there were not only hundreds of wolf dogs in the cave, but also invisible enemies in the shadows. Didn't Qin Xuan let himself die? Qi Shanxing saw that no one moved, so he said to the guards beside him: "Are you afraid? If you are not afraid, lead the way! ”

Several heavily armed guards walked into the cave without thinking, holding horizontal knives, and Qin Xuan, Qi Shanxing and others followed. The cave is indeed very long, and it winds and turns, and it takes more than an hour to walk.

The guards in front suddenly stopped, Qin Xuan frowned, and asked, "Why don't you go forward?" ”

One of the guards turned and replied, "My lord, there are stumps and blood stains everywhere ahead, it seems that those wolf dogs did it!" ”

Qin Xuan took a few steps forward, and through the people, he saw broken arms and legs everywhere on the ground, and even worse, some of them had half of their stomachs left, and the internal organs in their stomachs had been exposed, horizontal and vertical, and Qin Xuan was directly disgusted when he saw it. After a long time, Qin Xuan came back to his senses and said, "Go ahead, the situation ahead is unknown, don't be careful!" ”

Walking further, I heard human voices and dogs barking, one after another. Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and reminded him: "Don't be careful, all the guards, there are no thieves ahead, and there are wolf dogs, you must protect yourself!" ”

The guards, who were originally resentful of Qin Xuan's poisonous schemes, couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth, not that they had the determination to go to the soup for Qin Xuan, and they no longer had any displeasure, and walked forward with sonorous and powerful steps.

The cave grew smaller and smaller, but the barking of dogs and the shouting of people slowly became clearer. Finally, the guards at the front reached the exit of the cave. The guards cooperate with each other quite tacitly, three people in front, three people in the back, the front three horizontal knives stand upright, making a defensive posture, and the rear guards are interspersed in the gaps of the front guards, with the horizontal knives in their hands, holding tightly.

Out of the cave, Qin Xuan's eyes lit up, Qin Xuan never expected that there was a mansion here. Looking around, it was actually in the valley, and I couldn't help but say: "This group of thieves didn't expect to build such a secret nest here, and the hidden view is just a pretense." ”

There are more and more guards, joining the battle between the thief and the dog, and the three parties are people and dogs, which can be described as a group of demons dancing wildly. Guards and thieves are okay to say, they can distinguish between friend and foe, but hundreds of wolf dogs don't look at people at all, whether you wear armor or cloth shirts, anyway, if you don't have a dog, they will bite.

Several guards surrounded Qin Xuan and Qi Shanxing, and the rest of the guards only spent less than an hour to subdue all the wolf dogs and thieves in the mansion, or kill them on the spot, or be captured. The guards did not wait for Qi Shanxing and Qin Xuan to order, and directly began to search the mansion.

After a while, a guard hurriedly arrived, bowed his head and said, "Lord Qin, Lord Qi, I found nearly a hundred women in the west wing!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "What? Nearly 100 women? Let's go and take a look! As he spoke, Qin Xuan directly stretched out his hand to signal. Qi Shanxing on the side was also slightly stunned, and then followed Qin Xuan to the west wing.

Coming to the west wing, Qin Xuan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, hundreds of women knelt on the ground with their brushes, looking at the appearance, Qin Xuan knew with his toes that the old department was built to sell people, and they were all women, Qin Xuan stabilized his mind and said: "You all get up, now Lord Qi, the chief of the General Military Office of Jiannan Province, has led his troops to annihilate all these anti-thieves, and you can also go home separately!" ”

Hundreds of women didn't look up, and Qin Xuan caught a glimpse of a woman naked in the corner. Spread out on the straw mat, in addition to the unsightly filth on his body, there were scratches one after another, and Qin Xuan couldn't help but be angry: "This group of scum, how can you do such a thing?" ”

Qi Shanxing on the side saw that Qin Xuan had given him all the credit, and he was very happy in his heart, and said directly: "This official Qi Shanxing is the chief manager of Jiannan Dao, you wait for a while, and wait for this official to deal with the thief." I will send you home one by one! ”

Among the women who knelt on the ground and couldn't stop choking, one of them slowly raised his head and cried: "My lord, even if I return home, I won't be poked in the back and scolded to death!" ”

Qi Shanxing couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "What do you mean, is this official wrong, if you don't send you home, what should I do?" ”

Qin Xuan thought for a moment. He said directly: "You don't have to wait like this, this official has an idea, if you are willing to go home, Lord Qi will send someone to send you home." If there is someone who does not want to go home. Here the house will be given to you and so on! ”

Qin Xuan's words made Qi Shanxing a little surprised, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Qin Xian's nephew, how can some of them survive in this wilderness?" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but say with satisfaction: "Yes." Looks like I'm a little inconsiderate! Thinking of this, Qin Xuan said directly: "Lord Qi, let's do it." Let them choose for themselves what these women do, and go home if they want to, even if they want to marry our guards who are born and die! ”

Out of the west wing, Qin Xuan and Qi Shanxing walked directly into the hall, and a personal guard came to report: "Lord Qi, Lord Qin, all the words have been searched, in addition to the nearly 100 women in the west wing, a woman and a little girl were also found in the inner hall!" There is also ...... in the east wing."

Qin Xuan directly interrupted: "What? Little girl? Isn't it supposed to be a boy? ”

The guard hesitated, "This ...... The subordinates did see a woman and a little girl! ”

"Bring it up, and I'll take a look!"

After a while, Ning Er led a little girl to the hall by the guards, and when she saw Qin Xuan and the others, Ning Er pulled the little girl to kneel directly on the ground and did not speak. Qin Xuan glanced at Ning Er and the others, and asked, "You are Ning Er?" ”

"Yes!"

"This little girl next to me is Li Jiancheng's daughter?"

"Yes!"

"What about the Taoist priests?"

Ning Er bit her lip and sneered: "When disaster comes, will they still care about our mother and daughter?" ”

Qin Xuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's that this official is a little inconsiderate!" After speaking, the reader's personal guard said: "Let's take it down first, what happened to the east wing you said just now?" ”

Ning'er, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed directly and said: "My lord, I am to blame for this matter, I misbelieved the slander, and followed Duan Linxing and others to plot misdeeds, my lord must not blame Ting'er!" ”

Qi Shanxing snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, aren't you planning a rebellion in the name of this woman?" Didn't you say that this woman was still the son of Jiancheng? Let her go, will she not be able to rebel in the future? ”

Ning'er lay directly on the ground and sobbed: "My lord, this matter really doesn't matter about Ting'er, Ting'er has followed me to live a life under the fence since she was born, and she didn't know that she was rebelling at all!" ”

Qin Xuan also looked at Ning Er's crying appearance, glanced at the little girl beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and said in his heart: "I really don't care about this little girl, but will Li Shimin let her go?" Anyway, she is also Li Jiancheng's daughter! After pondering for a while, Qin Xuan finally couldn't be ruthless, and shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to speak.

Ning'er cried for a long time, and begged directly: "My lord, please let Ting'er go, I will die, and my lord can also give ...... to Your Majesty."

The little girl on the side saw Ning'er begging and crying, and said childishly: "Mother, don't cry, did Ting'er do something wrong again?" ”

Qin Xuan swallowed a mouthful of spit and said directly: "Lord Qi, this woman is the niece of the official, don't pursue it anymore!" ”

After listening to Qin Xuan's words, Qi Shanxing couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: "Qin Xian's nephew is going to protect the daughter of Jiancheng, this is a big crime!" Thinking of this, he directly persuaded: "Nephew Qin Xian, don't be rash, don't delay the good future for this woman!" ”

Qin Xuan waved his hand, stepped forward directly to hug Li Ting, and said with a smile: "Ting'er, do you miss your father?" ”

Li Ting bit her lip and said softly, "I want to!" Ting'er has never seen her father! ”

Qin Xuan smiled slightly, and said, "Ting'er, your father went to a far away place, but what about it, uncle is your father's younger brother, will you live with your uncle in the future?" ”

When Li Ting heard this, she glanced down, a little stunned, and asked childishly: "Uncle, what about my mother?" ”

While Qin Xuan was hesitating, Ning Er got up directly, gave a salute to Qin Xuan, and then said to Li Ting: "Ting'er, don't you miss your father very much, my mother went to find your father, can you live with your uncle first, wait for my mother to come back!" ”

Li Ting stared at her big watery eyes, looked at Ning'er, then at Qin Xuan, and said softly: "Ning Qin, you have to come back early, Ting'er will listen to her uncle!" ”

Ning'er couldn't help choking for a long time before she forced a smile and said, "Okay, Ting'er must listen to her uncle, her mother will come back sooner!" ”

Seeing this, Qi Shanxing on the side sighed and said: "No one should say anything about today's events, otherwise, don't blame the official for not being emotional!" ”

Several guards in the hall nodded and said, "Subordinates obey!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but glance back at Qi Shanxing and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Qi, for your success!" (To be continued......)
