"Let's split into two teams,"

Zong Jiyuan walked back and forth, and carefully looked at the terrain on both sides of the cave entrance,

"Twenty brothers in a team, third brother, you and I each take a team, and then hide on both sides, waiting for the gang of thieves to really come and enter the cave, and then we will block the outside of the cave and catch turtles in his urn on the spot."

"Okay!"

At that moment, the forty messengers quickly divided into two teams, and each hid in the shadows on both sides with Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo.

Just when they were hiding, they only heard a cannon sound in the direction of Pingliang Village, which shook the entire mountain, and then the firelight reflected the night sky in that area, and the shouts of killing spread far away, and even Zong Jiyuan and they could hear it clearly.

Knowing that this was a symbol of the iron cavalry of the officers and soldiers stationed in Shengjing, who had cut off the guards on the periphery and started to launch a full-scale attack, Zong Jiyuan's heart became a little nervous.

In fact, although when she first stepped into the public door, she just wanted to get justice for the dead Xiaoyingzi out of pity for her, but as the case deepened, Zong Jiyuan always felt that these things seemed to have always been related to herself, as if there was an invisible "line" connecting her with these things, but what kind of "line" it was, but she could never figure it out.

I hope that something can be found in this operation-

Zong Jiyuan thought to himself......

At this time, the shouting and killing sound of Pingliang Village was even more violent, which was mixed with screams and crying, and after a while, sure enough, some voices came towards this side.

looked up at Diao Saburo who was ambushed opposite, because it was estimated that he was in the dark and couldn't see his expression clearly, so he raised his hand and signaled, and Diao Saburo was really looking at her, and when he saw that Zong Jiyuan gave a gesture, he also gestured back, indicating that he was also ready.

In the distance, dozens of fast horses galloped along the mountain road, followed by many thieves on foot, and followed them with rolling and crawling.

Soon the men came to a halt and were led by two horses, one of whom shouted,

"Light the torch!"

Well, when I light the torches, I can see who you are.

Zong Jiyuan said secretly in his heart.

There are thieves who follow next to him, and he lit the torch he was carrying with a flint and steel, and by the light of the fire, it can be seen that the two people who are the leader are Ming Qimeng and Wei Xingyin.

So, where are the two brothers Yu Chunyao and You Chunjue?

Although I haven't seen those two people, it seems that they must not be among this group of fleeing thieves, otherwise, it should not be Ming Qimeng's turn to give orders here.

Just thinking about it, I heard Wei Xingyin say again,

"Second brother, if you enter the cave and pass through the secret door in front, you will be able to reach the hunting house, and the officers and soldiers should not be able to chase after you."

"Okay, let's go into the cave."

At the sound of Ming Qimeng's command, the men carefully urged their horses into the cave by the light of the torches, and the people who followed them also walked in one after another.

Seeing that they had all entered, Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo came out of their hiding places with their servants and laid an ambush on both sides of the cave, waiting for the time when the thieves were driven back.

However, it was said that the two thieves, Ming Qimeng and Wei Xingyin, had no choice but to escape from the hunting house because Dazhai was attacked and had nowhere to hide. At this time, with those little minions under him, he walked forward in the cave, and finally came to the secret door, Wei Xingyin instructed a thief beside him,

"Go, activate the mechanism, open the secret door."

"Yes, Third Master!"

The thief agreed, dismounted, went to the stone wall in front of him, found the protruding stone, and pressed it.

The secret door moved slowly with a "boom" sound until it was completely open.

At this moment, in the empty mountains, there was a whirlwind, blowing violently into this stone cave along the narrow valley, and the cold air produced made the thieves in the cave involuntarily shiver, and after the gust of wind blew, Ming Qimeng waved his hand,

"Let's go, let's go to the hunting house at once."

"Yes!"

The thieves were anxious to urge their horses forward, just thinking that they could escape from the confines of Pingliang Village as soon as possible, thinking that they would be spared from death.

But what they never expected was that with the cold wind, it was not only the cold air, but also the arrows and crossbows in the hands of his own soldiers led by Sobra.

Just as the thieves who were running ahead rushed out of the secret door and into the narrow valley, they looked up and found that what awaited them was not an escape to heaven, but an equally terrible blade of death.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Sokala's order, the row of thieves who rushed to the front had already fallen to the ground, and before the thieves who followed behind could figure out what was going on, the young general had already grabbed the torch, and with a knife in his other hand, he rushed forward and shouted,

"Brothers, kill all these thieves with General Ben!"

"There are officers and soldiers here, too!"

Finally, a thief figured out what was happening in front of him, and ran back with an exclamation, but some people behind him were still confused, standing in place in a daze, and had already been bumped into by the people who were fighting to flee back, and suddenly there was a group of people turning on their backs and a mess.

Sobra's personal soldiers, except for a dozen or so people left to guard the entrance of the cave, the rest all followed him into the cave, and there were clever personal soldiers, who lit the torches on the stone walls of the cave, so that under the bright light, these thieves had nowhere to hide, and many of them died under the knife in an instant, and some panicked turned around and ran back.

However, it was easy to enter, but it was difficult to come out again, Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo were already impatient, and when they saw that these thieves were really killed again, they immediately shouted and killed them.

There were ambushes at both ends of the cave, and the thieves were really completely stunned, scurrying around like headless flies, while the officers and their own soldiers gathered together and killed like ducks.

Zong Jiyuan's eyes have been looking for the two bandit leaders, Ming Qimeng and Wei Xingyin, and he said in his heart, he must not let these two thieves escape. Scanning back and forth, I really found Ming Qimeng, this guy hiding on the edge of the stone wall, trying to find a chance to slip away.

"Mingmeng, where are you going?!"

With an icy sound, Zong Jiyuan had already urged his horse to rush towards him.

Ming Qimeng was frightened by this shout, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that it was a beautiful young man rushing towards him, and suddenly he thought that this child was not the one he once wanted to abduct and sell? By the way, he also said that he is the master of Liaodong County, but aren't the officers and soldiers who came to besiege......

He was thinking nonsense in his mind, Zong Jiyuan was already less than a few feet away from him,

"Mingmeng, you thief, don't hurry up and catch it!"
