On the cliff outside the prison, Wu Sihe, Liu Luoqu and Tang Anshu climbed on top and climbed towards the top.

Tang Anshu, who was crawling at the end, looked up at Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu who were faintly visible in the darkness, and calculated in his heart the success probability of this operation: a professional prison robber, a professional killer, plus his own little-known appearance.

What are the chances of success for this three-person improvised team?

Thirty percent. Tang Anshu made a definition, only thirty percent of the death, and it is impossible to have more.

Wu Sihe, known as the stilted building, is a Miao person. After the failure of the Miao uprising at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Miao people were captured by the Qing court and escorted to Beijing.

Although the group's mission to rescue their fellow people later failed, in order to make a living, they began to specialize in prison robbery and rescue, and the important people in the organization were named after various buildings.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the organization where the killer Liu Luoqu used to belong also had the word "Lou" in its name.

The organization is known as "Feng Manlou", and legend has it that its founder was a merchant in the Song Dynasty, and the purpose of the organization was initially only to deter and deal with the small sects that specialized in the idea of fighting the rich, but after hundreds of years of development, the organization eventually became a terrifying killer organization.

Liu Luoqu is the master of the "sword" character in this organization, known as the Dingfeng Sword.

The origin of this nickname is that many years ago, he was in the sandstorm in the Western Regions, and he did the target cleanly with a sword alone, not to mention, and also killed the opponent's entire escort team by the way, and finally retreated.

Tang Anshu is the core figure in this operation, not only responsible for the early intelligence collection, but also responsible for the route survey, and the final decision of the operation.

Even if on the surface, the leader of the team is Wu Sihe, but on key issues, Wu Sihe must seek Tang Anshu's opinion, because this is the rule set by the employer.

Why is a young man less than twenty years old so important in this improvised patchwork team?

It's very simple, because he is the designated successor of the previous generation of Xishu Gun's clothes.

What is the real name of the previous generation of Xishu Gongyi, no one knows, only knows that the pseudonym is Hu Shen, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname of the eight-armed Arhat, and it is rumored that he once helped Xiong Kewen to use a trick to make three groups of bandits hiding in the deep mountains of Sichuan abandon their weapons and surrender within three days.

It is rumored that when the leaders of the three bandits got together to talk about it, they were surprised to find that this Hu Shen actually found the leaders of the bandits in different places at the same time, as if he had a doppelganger technique.

Over time, this story became more and more outrageous, making everyone on the rivers and lakes think that Hu Shen seemed to really have three heads and six arms, coupled with his stunt of fast hands and guns, so he was called an eight-armed Arhat.

Why is Tang Anshu called an Arhat with arms?

Before Tang Anshu left the school, his master Hu Shen was imprisoned in a private prison on trumped-up charges by a brother of the warlord Yang Sen, and his arms were cut off.

In order to save his master, Tang Anshu was alone and found Deng Xihou, a crystal monkey who was good friends with Yang Sen and was later known as the "Five Elements of the Sichuan Army". After less than an hour of interviewing, Deng Xihou sent an adjutant to take Tang Anshu to Yang Sen, after Yang Sen saw the letter, pondered for a moment, and then led the troops to arrest his brother Pao, and at the same time released Hu Shen, and after apologizing in person, he shot the brother on the spot.

When Tang Anshu left, the master, who was seriously injured on his back, came to the archway at the entrance of the town, climbed up on the bamboo ladder and took off the master's broken arm hanging above, and drank the cup of relief tea handed by Adjutant Yang Sen's hands, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

After this incident, Tang Anshu came out of the school, and also began to have the title of "Arhat who picks up arms", this title has two meanings, the first is that he picked up the pair of broken arms for the master, and the second is that his ability is far beyond the master Hu Shen, and the word "pickup" happens to be the capitalization of the word "ten", so it is named.

How did Tang Anshu rescue his master? What did he say to Deng Xihou? What did Deng Xihou's adjutant say to Yang Sen?

Tang Anshu never told anyone, even his best friend Cai Qianqing asked him, he just replied to those eight words: "Move with affection, know with reason." ”

Who believes?

When climbing on the cliff, the curious Liu Luoqu also asked about it, and Tang Anshu of course also answered those eight words.

Liu Luoqu said disdainfully: "Who believes it? Don't say it. ”

Tang Anshu just laughed and didn't say a word of superfluous words.

But Liu Luoqu was still curious, and even took the risk of freeing up his right foot, touched Tang Anshu lightly, and asked, "How did you do it?" Did you threaten that if you don't let your master go, you will kill Yang Sen's family? ”

Tang Anshu smiled: "Well, it's close." ”

Liu Luoqu was shocked: "You even dare to threaten Yang Sen?" ”

As soon as Liu Luoqu finished speaking, a stone fell sharply towards his shoulder from above, and after he heard the sound of the falling wind of the stone, he grabbed the stone and raised his eyes to look at Wu Sihe who stopped above.

Wu Sihe lowered his voice and said, "You don't want to live anymore? If the patrol hears and pours the oil, the three of us will not burn to death, but we will also fall to our deaths! ”

Liu Luoqu and Tang Anshu stopped making noise and climbed quietly.

After climbing for nearly an hour, just as the three of them finally approached the top of the cliff, Wu Sihe suddenly noticed that there was a light source shaking on the left side of the top, and it was getting closer and closer to the position above their heads.

Seeing this, Wu Sihe loosened his hands, his body sank down suddenly, and then with his memory, he fell into the gap between Liuluoqu and Tang Anshu, and while firmly grasping the cliff with the rock claws in his hand, he said in a deep voice: "Avoid the light!" ”

"Avoiding light" is a black word on the rivers and lakes, which means hiding and not being discovered, and here, there is another meaning, that is, "stealth".

Wu Sihe, Liu Luoqu and Tang Anshu each took out a roll of cloth from the thousand machine bags they carried, shook it off in their hands, and draped the dark green and gray thin cloth on their backs, and at the same time clinged to the cliff.

"Don't move! Don't make a sound! Liu Luoqu whispered.

This kind of camouflage cloth, alias "shroud", is in the hands of everyone in Fengmanlou, and the color, shape, and size of the camouflage cloth are different according to different mission locations. After surveying the place where the mission is executed, the killer will re-customize the camouflage cloth as needed, just so that he can lurk in the closest position to the assassination target, and try to kill with one hit.

Why is it called the Shroud?

The reason is that except at night or in a low-light environment, if you use this camouflage cloth at close range, the target will be easily detected and killed on the spot, so it is called the shroud by those killers.

Soon, the seven-man patrol walking on the top of the cliff slowly approached, led by a torch in his left hand and an unturned flashlight in his right hand.

Because flashlights are still rare, even the army has strict control over hand batteries, so under the premise that it is not necessary, they will not turn on the flashlight casually, and torches and kerosene lamps are basically used for lighting.

Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu under the shroud were all staring at the torches in the hands of the patrol team above, while Tang Anshu, who was on the far right, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the footsteps of those soldiers.

"Seven people, at least six spears." Tang Anshu said his analysis and judgment in a very low voice.

Liu Luoqu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "There are also two flower mechanisms." ”

Wu Sihe nodded slightly, and he also came to a conclusion similar to Tang Anshu and Liu Luoqu from the weight of the soldier's footing and the sound of the collision of the equipment on his body.

The three of them were even more nervous than before, and the spear was gone, but they had all seen the power of the flower mechanism, and unless they ran out of bullets or the gun was malfunctioning and jammed, there was no possibility of a close kill.

The guards of the prison are equipped with a handflower mechanism? This made Tang Anshu and the three of them very surprised, but it also showed the importance of the prison on Snake Heart Island to Sun San, and it also showed that Sun San did make a lot of money from the prison, otherwise how could he afford to buy this kind of German goods?

●

Just as the patrol was about to pass over their heads, the officer in the lead suddenly heard something, and immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it down the cliff.

Seeing that there was a light source shining directly, Wu Sihe and Liu Luoqu both subconsciously made an action that actually didn't work at all for camouflage - burying their heads in.

On the cliff, the soldier next to the officer asked, "Sir, it should be a bird, right?" ”

The officer shook his head and said, "If it's a bird, then it's okay, I'm afraid it's someone who came to rob the prison." ”

The officer paused when he said this, and then said, "I'm more afraid of sea rats." ”

After the officer finished speaking, the other soldiers were shocked and immediately looked around.

The soldier who had spoken earlier crouched down, shook his torch to look down, and asked, "Captain, what the hell is a sea rat?" ”

The officer shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, but I've heard the old jailer here talk about it, saying that it is about the same size as a cat, looks like a mouse, can be in the sea for a long time, its tail, claws and teeth are poisonous, and after poisoning, people will be paralyzed all over the body and let it eat." ”

"What's that?" One of the last soldiers in the group was lowering a kerosene lamp with a rope to inspect the cliff when he noticed a dark figure wriggling somewhere.

This sentence made the three Tang Anshu below nervous, if they were discovered, they would turn into three corpses that had fallen from the cliff in a few seconds.

Suddenly, the gunshots rang out, and all three of them couldn't help but tremble, and before they could come to their senses, the first gunshot was still echoing around them, and the gunshots rang out again.

After three gunshots, Tang Anshu and the three finally calmed down, because the bullet did not hit any of them, but hit a protruding rock seven or eight meters away from their left, and scattered a group of seagulls hiding there.

After the officer saw that it was a seagull with a flashlight, he breathed a sigh of relief and threw the spear back to the soldier next to him: "It's a bird." ”

The soldier took the gun: "I really thought there was a prison robbery." ”

The officer smiled: "It's okay if it's a prison robber, but if it's really a sea rat, we'll be finished, send a signal to Tianyan, so that they don't have to be nervous." ”

When the soldier heard this, he made a gesture to the back of the group, and the soldier at the end of the group immediately ran to the other side of the cliff, and after running to the edge, he raised the kerosene lamp in his hand and waved it twice in the air, and only then turned around and returned to the team after seeing a light source flickering twice somewhere in the distance in mid-air.
