The snow on the ground was enough to soak up to the ankles, but I was afraid that the snow would not stop for a while. After nightfall, the mountain city is even more deserted, not to mention the lively hawkers who shouted and shouted in the past, and even the puppet soldiers who patrolled the night were nowhere to be seen at this moment.

The unprecedented silence in the mountain town, this heavy snow is not only a mountain town, but also a rare sight in the entire central and southern region for decades. In the past, the streets that should have been full of lights and laughter and people came and went, and it was pitch black. Under the reflection of the snow, I saw a few black shadows quietly and quickly approaching a compound. The courtyard is very wide, a few before and after, there is a sign hanging at the gate "Mountain City Garrison Headquarters", obviously, this is a big family in a mountain city, and it was recruited by the devil to be the headquarters, but under the heavy snow, it turned out to be a gate confinement, and there was not even a guard at the door.

Those few black shadows, the leading person was Xiang Jun, followed by Qin Xin, followed by stones and beans scattered left and right. Stimulated by Yang Liu'er during the day, Xiang Jun lost control for a while, shouting that he wanted to go to the Japanese army headquarters to rob the medicine. Qin Xin analyzed that something big must have happened inside the Japanese army, and "robbed" a natural joke, but according to the skills of the four people, it is very feasible to sneak into the headquarters of the devil to steal, even if he can't steal it, he can also take the opportunity to find out what happened inside the devil, and even if he is discovered by the devil, the four people are all masters, and Xiang Jun and Douzi are familiar with the terrain, so it should not be a problem to get out.

After carefully observing the periphery, relying on his familiarity with the mountain city, Xiang Jun led a few people to an alley. The alley is deep and long, with a bluestone gatehouse connected to each household on one side and a long fence on the other. "This is it." Xiang Jun stopped, "At the other end of the wall is the backyard of the Devil's Headquarters." ”

Qin Xin touched the wall, and it was cold and biting, it was made of pieces of ashlar stone, and the place near the ground was already covered with moss, and it was smooth in the snow, and there was a thin layer of ice. When I looked up again, I saw that there were more than three people tall. Qin Xin smiled bitterly, "Brother Xiang means to go over the wall from here?" ”

Shi also stepped forward and stretched out his hand to test it, and then shook his head, "I can't go up, if it's in normal times, it may still be possible, the ice on it is too slippery, and I can't use my strength." ”

Xiang Jun smiled mysteriously, "Since we can't turn over, then let's fly over." At this time, Douzi flashed around, came to the nearest gatehouse, stretched out his finger and flicked lightly on the door a few times, and then the door opened a crack silently, and then Douzi turned around and made a gesture, and got into it with a cat's waist.

When I came to the courtyard, I couldn't see a trace of light, and there was no one else, only vaguely I could see Douzi standing by the wall behind the door and tinkering with something. Xiang Jun closed the door and plugged in the latch, "How's it going, Bean?" Beanzi replied softly, "No problem, boss, it's all ready." ”

Qin Xin leaned over to see that a long rope had hung down from the gatehouse, and after a little thought, he already knew what Xiang Jun's intention was in arranging this. The wall in the backyard of the Devil's Command is too high to climb it, but the gatehouse of this family is almost shoulder to shoulder with the wall, and the alley is no more than three meters wide.

"It's hard to find such a tall ladder." Xiang Jun explained, "I have to use this method." ”

Qin Xin's heart was moved, Xiang Jun had already made such arrangements in a short period of time, and he really deserved to be called a hero in the mountain city, "Brother Xiang, thank you......

Xiang Jun knew what he wanted to read, patted him on the shoulder, reached out and grabbed the long rope, and in three or two strokes he had reached the bottom of the gatehouse, waved his right hand to hold a beam, leaned over it as soon as he exerted his strength, and then turned over, and stood at the top of the gatehouse. Soon, Qin Xin's bean stones also climbed up in turn, and the four of them were lying on top of the gatehouse, and with just a slight lift, the backyard of the Japanese headquarters on the opposite side was in full view.

I saw that the backyard was very wide, the lights in a house with wooden doors and windows were flickering, and the figures on the yellow window paper were shaking, and the entire backyard was not heavily guarded with three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post. The light in the window and the snow reflected each other, so that Qin Xinxiangjun and the four of them could clearly see the panorama of the courtyard, and there were two heavily armed sentries standing at the crescent gate from the front yard, and the snow was falling non-stop, but the sentry was still straight, and behind the two pillars in the corridor of the house, there were also two sentries standing in each. Behind the house, it seems that the devil is very relieved about the height of the wall, only a high pile of firewood is piled there, but there is no guard.

Lying on the gatehouse, layers of snowflakes quickly accumulated on the bodies of the four people, "Brother Qin, what should I do?" "Xiang Jun didn't hold it at this time, Qin Xin and Shi were both from the guerrillas in the mountain city, and their experience in sneaking up on devils was incomparable, and it was by no means comparable to him, the street boss.

"Look at the light on the back window, it should be caused by steam." Qin Xin was also not polite, and stretched out his hand to the courtyard, "So I guess that in this backyard, it is where the logistics of the devil lies, there are six rooms in this house, if my guess is correct, the one with the light should be the kitchen, so the infirmary is in the left and right rooms." ”

Xiang Jun rubbed his hands and exhaled a white breath, "That's it, the four sentinels and Douzi and I will solve the two in front, and the ones in the corridor will be handed over to Brother Qin and Shishi, and we will search the left and right rooms separately." After speaking, without waiting for Qin Xin to speak, his body jumped, and he flew up steadily and lay on the opposite wall.

Qin Xin was speechless, he knew that it would be more dangerous to deal with the two sentinels in front, because this gatehouse was relatively far behind, if it was to solve the devil standing in the corridor, Qin Xin and Shi only had to jump straight down, because there was only a pile of firewood behind the house, and the two of them could go around the pillars of the corridor silently. The sentry in front of him corresponds to this gatehouse, and there is a distance, which also means that Xiang Jun and Douzi must be able to cross silently in order to complete the sentry.

Xiang Jun climbed a few meters forward, leaving a position for Douzi. Douzi turned his head and pointed to the rope that hung down to the ground, and when he saw Qin Xin nodded, he immediately jumped over. He and Xiang Jun were squirming slowly on the high wall like two insects, and not a single piece of snow on the top of the wall was spilled into the courtyard.

"Stone!" Qin Xin let out a low sigh, the body of the stone jumped up, and landed in the opposite direction of crawling towards the army bean, Qin Xin reached out and scooped up the long rope, and the finger of Fang Cai Douzi asked him to carry this rope, from the periphery they couldn't enter the backyard of the devil headquarters, and they also went in, if the height was afraid that the four people would not be able to get out. This rope is still needed. Tie the rope around his waist, and was just about to jump over, Qin Xin's heart suddenly moved, the cold light flashed, and a short knife appeared in his hand, and he coiled the long rope around his waist before jumping over.

Crawling on the top of the wall, slowly moving forward for a few meters, Xiang Jun and Douzi have reached the intersection of the horizontal full moon gate, which is bent like a half moon. Xiang Jun pressed his hands together, sprang to his feet, and slid down with his back against the wall, landing on the other side of the wall where the two sentries were.

Just leaning against the corner of the wall, Xiang Jun scolded angrily in his heart, "Fuck you." "I saw that the courtyard on this side is almost the same as the courtyard, and there are also seven or eight houses in the middle to form the main house, but the lights in these rooms are famous, and someone is talking about something. The worst thing was that there were also two sentries standing on this side of the Full Moon Gate, and they were only five or six meters away from Xiang Jun.

Xiang Jun held the bean's sliding figure with both hands, and after the bean fell to the ground, his face was as pale as snow, "What should I do?" He made a gesture and asked Xiang Jun.

Xiang Jun stretched out his hand to his neck, and slashed with a fierce backhand, kill! Before he could make a gesture, the bean suddenly leaped forward, and a white light slammed into the neck of the sentry on the left. Xiang Jun rolled on the spot, and the sentry standing on the right didn't have time to make a sound, so he fell to the ground softly.

Killed the sentinels of the two devils in one fell swoop, Xiang Jun and Douzi were as silent as snowflakes, and the two of them quickly stuck to the back window of the house, their whole bodies were hidden in the thick layer of snow, and they didn't dare to move, but the sound in the hall still kept coming to their ears.

Neither of them knew Japanese, and after listening to it for a long time, they didn't hear a reason, but they just felt that the tone of the person who spoke was unusually dignified, as if he was telling something very important, Xiang Jun's heart moved, and he glanced back, only to see that Qin Xin and Shi also touched the corridor from the left and right, and easily killed the two sentinels. Xiang Jun hurriedly made a gesture, signaling Qin Xinxian not to be busy searching for medicine, but to come over and inquire about the situation here.

Qin Xin was stunned, but he still turned around, just when he and the stone just turned around, on the window paper with the light on behind him, a gas like water vapor suddenly appeared, and the gas seemed to have a tangible substance, and it actually penetrated through the window paper, but after Qin Xin and the stone turned around, they shrank back again. Qin Xin and Shi didn't see it, the ground was covered with snow, and the two of them moved quickly, and quickly lay down beside Xiang Jun. Xiang Jun put his hand next to his ear, and then pointed to the hall, Qin Xin nodded, indicating his understanding.

At this time, the Japanese finally finished speaking, and was replaced by a soft and gentle voice, "Mr. Su, Mr. Li and Mr. Du, the three of them are not only in the mountain city, but also in the apricot forest, and the three of them are also the holy hands of Chinese medicine." Today, Commander Juan Teng invited three of them to come, firstly, because all three of them are highly skilled in medicine, and secondly, all three of them are from a family of traditional Chinese medicine and have a lot of knowledge. Commander Juto wanted to ask the three of them if they had heard of Zhu Yuko? ”

Qin Xin and Xiang Junda were surprised, how could they not have imagined that in this hall, there were actually the three famous doctors of the mountain city, what did the commander of the vine invite them to do? And what is that Zhu Yuko? Unexpectedly, the devil's Commander Juan paid so much attention to it, and recruited the three famous doctors of Shancheng together. Qin Xin and Xiang Jun were awe-inspiring in their hearts, knowing that this matter was by no means simple, so they listened attentively at the moment.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and then I heard someone hesitate and say: "The word Zhu You is a little familiar, it seems that I have heard it when I was young, but Li is old, but I can't recall it." Another coughed and rinsed, "Zhu Yu? Could it be the thirteenth department of the rumored ancient Chinese medicine? ”

Commander Juan Teng suddenly shouted with some excitement, and then the soft and gentle voice translated, "Mr. Du, please tell me in detail about the Thirteen Branches. ”

Mr. Nadu sighed, "I only know this, it is said that Zhu Youke is the thirteenth department in ancient Chinese medicine, it is extremely magical, it has always only been circulated among the imperial doctors of the palace, I don't know if Mr. Su understands?" ”

Mr. Su's clear voice sounded, "I read history books when I was a child, and I vaguely remember that Zhu Youke is said to have been passed down from the hand of Emperor Xuanyuan, and it is a wonderful technique of the Immortal Family, but we have only heard rumors, but we have never seen it." But I don't know how this gentleman learned about Zhu Youke? ”

"Oh!" The man chuckled, "Commander Juan Teng has always admired Chinese culture, he is familiar with a hundred schools, especially good at calligraphy, and his skills are so profound, I am afraid that he will have a comparison with you. ”

Li Du and the others did not speak, and it was Mr. Na Su who said: "Chinese civilization, spanning thousands of years, has had all kinds of strange rumors since ancient times. ”

Qin Xin and Xiang Jun glanced at each other, they didn't know what the Japanese in the hall thought, but both of them heard something strange from the mouths of the three famous doctors in this mountain city. These three famous doctors were obviously flickering, and they were reluctant to talk too much about the thirteen branches of Nazhuyou. Qin Xin Xiangjun couldn't help but be more curious, and wanted to know more and more about the origin of the mysterious Zhu Youke. Especially Qin Xin, this time he took the risk to infiltrate the devil's headquarters, although he wanted to steal the medicine needed by the mountain city guerrillas, he also knew that it was almost impossible, so he planned to take the opportunity to find out the reason for the devil's sudden withdrawal of troops. At this time, I heard that the commander of the garrison of the mountain city, just saw the so-called "Zhu Youke" in the history books, so he asked the three famous doctors of the mountain city on the night of the snowstorm, all of them, if he said that he knew little about Chinese studies, but it seemed that he couldn't say anything about this posture, and there was another person in the hall, listening to the tone of this person's speech, it should not be an ordinary ordinary person.

At this time, the man changed to Japanese and talked to Commander Makuni for a few words, and seemed to have taken out something and put it on the table, "So I wonder if the three gentlemen have ever seen such a formula?" ”

After a while, the three famous doctors suddenly laughed together, only listening to Mr. Nadu's laughter, "Is this the so-called Zhu Youshu?" No matter how you look at it, it looks like the ghost drawing talisman of the Taoist priest, and there is a blind man Li in the east of the city who specializes in exorcism and fortune telling, and dozens of pieces can be bought in one ocean. Li Su and the others also followed and said yes again and again.

"In that case, what Commander Juanto means is that he will no longer trouble the three gentlemen." The man's tone changed, "It's just that Commander Juan Fuji wants tonight, and the three of you had better not talk about it to anyone, otherwise you'll ......" He heaved and said no more.

Then I heard the sound of the three famous doctors getting up to say goodbye, the door opened, the footsteps gradually faded away, and there were bursts of dog barking in the front yard. The snow was still falling, and Qin Xin Xiangjun Shi Douzi was lying there, his whole body was almost unconscious, and he was about to get up, but he heard the sound of talking in the hall again.

"Huang Jun, what do you think?" Listening to this voice, it turned out to be Commander Juan Teng of the garrison of the mountain city who spoke, his Chinese pronunciation standard is fluent, just this Chinese dialect made Qin Xin and Xiang Jun immediately feel that it was not surprising that he could know the thirteen branches of Na Zhu from the history books.

The person who was called Huang Jun by Juan Teng laughed, "Commander Juan Teng, it seems that there is only so much information about Zhu Youke that can be found in such historical books." And those families of traditional Chinese medicine, just now I look at the words of those three people, it seems that they have quite scruples, from this point of view, even if they only know a lot about Zhu Youke, but this Zhu Youke makes people believe a little more. He didn't know what it was, he was neither arrogant nor humble when he spoke, he had his own style, and Curly Teng's attitude towards him was also very respectful, but what he said was also vague. It is only said that from the mouths of the three famous doctors, although there is nothing useful, it at least shows that Zhu Youke does have something worth considering.
