It was a gloomy night, there was no moonlight, and everything seemed dark.

Qiao Xiaojing, who was hiding in the haystack outside the town, watched the devil brigade enter the tunnel, which is what the people call the "grave". After another half an hour, she saw two devils come out of the "grave" and come to the main road, and walk towards the town.

Qiao Xiaojing gently climbed out of the haystack, filled the hiding place with grass, and then secretly followed the two devils into the dark and silent town.

"I really don't know what Shao Zuo thinks," Qiao Xiaojing heard the two devils in front of her talking in broken Chinese, and one of them complained, "Why do you have to come out to inspect every night? Those two fools last night still don't know whether they are dead or alive, and they sent you and me out again tonight, really, I don't understand." ”

"Yes," said the other devil, "Shaozo is becoming more and more sensitive now, and the qualities of a good commander in him have become sand in the hourglass, which is constantly being lost, and he is less and less like the hero that everyone in our Inoue family is proud of." Suspicious, careful, and arbitrary. Everyone knew that those two fools had been killed, but he just didn't want to face the reality, and kept saying that those two fools were only temporarily missing. We should not doubt the authority and wisdom of the chief, let alone argue with the commander, after all, those two fools are alive and dead, and no one knows where they are. ”

Inoue, the Inoue family, the heroes that everyone in the Inoue family is proud of...... Qiao Xiaojing pondered the conversation between the two devils in her heart, it turned out that it was Shao Zuo who was talking to that dog traitor, and it was obvious that that guy was the leader of these beasts......

The situation in the "grave", how many devils are there, what happened to Dazhi, and the precautions in the tunnel...... Qiao Xiaojing followed closely behind the two devils, hearing them talking nonsense, her heart became anxious, she secretly hoped that these two devils could say something more core, at least valuable.

"You two brutes," Qiao Xiaojing had already followed these two brutes for two streets, her heart was full of anger, and she scolded in her heart, "It's caused me to follow so many unjust roads in vain, if you don't talk about some serious things, don't blame me for being unkind to you two short-lived ghosts--- send you two little ghosts to Hell for a reunion with those two fools last night." ”

Qiao Xiaojing bent down, pulled out the short knife from the leggings, held the short knife tightly, and accelerated the pace of progress.

"Dangdang," just when the two beasts turned the corner, and before Qiao Xiaojing could make a move, suddenly the voice of the husband and the guard came, "The sky is high and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candle ......"

Qiao Xiaojing hurriedly put away the short knife, leaned against the wall and looked ahead, the whole street was so dark that she could hardly see anything, if it weren't for the two black shadows moving not far away, even the two devils would have been lost.

"Forget it," Qiao Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, determined to give up the plan to get rid of these two devils, and whispered, "Just let the heads of you two beasts be stored around your necks for a few days, and sooner or later I will send you to hell." ”

Then, Qiao Xiaojing turned around and returned to her residence.

"What are you doing," Ah Zi welcomed Qiao Xiaojing in, pouted and said, "We came back so late, we were all worried about you, and no one dared to sleep, including the old man, who sat here and waited for you for half a night." ”

"That's really embarrassing," Qiao Xiaojing clasped her hands into fists, bowed to everyone in the room, and said with a little embarrassment, "It's my fault for making you worry about me." I just went out for a walk and breathed my breath, and I didn't make it clear to you, alas, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"Team Leader Qiao," the old man said coldly, "I think you don't just go out and take a breath. You must have done something big, why, why don't you want us to know, or don't you want me as an outsider to know?"

"No, no, no," Qiao Xiaojing hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, I can do anything big by myself? Besides, you are not an outsider, you are our closest comrade-in-arms." A lot of things are only learned through you, and if it weren't for you, we would still be worried about finding the exit of the devil's grave! Don't get me wrong, I, we don't have anything to prevent you, hide from you, really, I hope you must believe what I say. ”

The old man looked at Qiao Xiaojing and shook his head, sighed, and sat on the edge of the kang.

"Qiao Xiaojing," Boss Wu said to Qiao Xiaojing with a smile, "I see you just say, don't have any worries, tell everything you see and hear, and let us also feel the special experience of your time out." ”

"Really, it's really nothing, what are you telling me?" Qiao Xiaojing tried her best to control her emotions, pretending to be stupid, as if she wanted everyone to be convinced of her words, nothing happened, just simply breathed through.

"Since Team Leader Qiao doesn't want to say it, then let's not force it. "But at least you have to get rid of the hay off your head, for it's hard to convince you that 'nothing has happened.'" ”

"Okay," Qiao Xiaojing said, "Originally, I wanted to sort it out again, and when I have a clear idea, I will discuss it with you, since I have exposed myself, I will no longer hide anything, I will explain, all to you." Listen to it and see if you can find something useful for us to plan for the next step. ”

"That's right," said the old man with a smile, "you have to believe in the wisdom of the people, it seems that it is said well, three stinkers can also stand up to Zhuge Liang, in case we provide you with an ingenious plan, wouldn't it be better than you racking your brains alone?"

"Yes," Qiao Xiaojing nodded, and said with a smile, "After all, everyone's wisdom is infinite, maybe I will tell you what I have seen and heard, and you will have magical ideas popping up when you listen to it, so won't it save time and effort......?"

Qiao Xiaojing told everyone including the old man the scene she saw hiding in the haystack, the content of the conversation between the traitor translator and the inoue Shaozuo, the tracking of the two little devils on night patrol, and the conversation of the two little devils.

When describing the things she encountered and heard during her outing, Qiao Xiaojing has always been very cautious, and has never mixed personal emotions and judgments into it, she doesn't want to affect everyone's analysis because of her emotional factors.

"So," Boss Wu took the lead in saying, "The devil is authentic, oh, there are not many devils in the devil's grave now, and there will not be more than fifty at most." At that time, in addition to the twenty or so devils in the three teams you saw, I think there may have been about a dozen devils in the tunnel at that time, or even less than a dozen devils. ”

"How can you see it?" Qiao Xiaojing actually had such a judgment, but soon she found that it was just a feeling, there was no basis, and she couldn't make conclusions based on feelings, which was like gambling, if she lost the bet, it would be completely over.

"Two o'clock," Boss Wu said, "First, the conversation between the two little devils you followed, the devils dispatch two people every night, and they are secretly patrolling the town, why don't you send a few more people? Second, when we first arrived here, this old brother once told us that at first, there were a lot of devils, as many as fifty or sixty people, and the devil's task here should have been almost completed, so he gradually withdrew his troops and withdrew a lot, so what about now? No matter how many there are, it will definitely not exceed the number of devils who first came here, so I conservatively believe that there are no more than fifty devils in the graves outside the town. ”

"This conclusion," Qiao Xiaojing said slowly, "Oh, Boss Wu, don't blame me for being disrespectful to you, let's just talk about the matter, I think your conclusion is a bit far-fetched and lacks factual basis to support it." ”

"Team Leader Qiao," the old man shook his hand, "I'm old, and I also think that this Boss Wu's words are not strict in tone, but I agree with his judgment, and I also think that there are no more than fifty devils in the grave." If it's wrong, I'll break up this old bone and throw it into the wilderness to feed the wild dogs, and I'm willing to gamble and lose, without complaint, it's all true. ”

"Look at you," Qiao Xiaojing said with a smile, "What are you talking about, even if there is really a mistake, the fault is not you! If there is a mistake, the fault is all mine." Besides, we are the army of the common people, not the ranks of landlords and bureaucrats, and we do not talk about such feudal remnants as life and death and military orders in our ranks. ”

"Yes, yes," said the old Burton with some embarrassment, "you are right, your team is different from any other team, I have seen the Qing Dynasty's team, the revolutionary army, the warlord's army, and the devil's team, but I have never seen a team like yours." I just made a mistake and said the wrong thing, and I'm so embarrassed ......"

"It's okay, it's okay. Boss Wu smiled, "Can we not talk about this issue first, now is not the time to talk about this issue, what we need to do now is how we should solve those little devils, this is the theme." How did you get to the point, and before you could get to the bottom of the matter, you actually deviated from the topic, and it was so far away?"

At this time, everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking at Boss Wu and nodding.

However, when it came to the main topic, everyone seemed to have nothing to say, and they were all silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

"I do have an idea," Qiao Xiaojing took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "This idea is a refinement of the original idea, and it can also be said to be an upgraded version of the original idea." Listen to it first, if it is not suitable, let's discuss it collectively and make revisions, and we will definitely be able to form a perfect combat plan. ”

The crowd nodded.

"To get rid of the devils," Qiao Xiaojing said, "It is not feasible to start from the devil's grave alone, our power cannot reach it, so we have to divide the devil into two parts, let one of the devils stay away from the nest, and run with the bait we set--- everyone has seen it during the day, the devil has come out, and this plan can be completely realized." The other part, and the most important part, is to concentrate forces against the devil's lair, that is--- the devil's tunnel, use a part of the people from the top of the mountain to throw the lit logs and straw bales down the mountain, break the two lines of defense of the devil, and then part of the people attack from the dirt road in and out of the devil's tunnel, as long as the fire is fierce enough, I believe it can completely attack the devil's grave. This is an idea of mine, and everyone is free to talk about it. ”

"It's just ......," Jade said and stopped.

"Just what?" Qiao Xiaojing said, "It's just that we don't have enough personnel, aren't we?" Cuiyu nodded, and Qiao Xiaojing said, "This is easy to do, we can secretly mobilize the masses." The people here are bullied by the devils, and if they feel our determination to destroy the devils, I think they will do it with us. ”

"People are not a problem. The old man said, "As long as this matter is decided, I will find a way to find you people, and they are all reliable people, and I dare not have more, twenty or thirty people can always find you people." ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Boss Wu stood up, gave Qiao Xiaojing a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "This plan is wonderful! I completely agree with your plan." ”

"We agree with ...... too"

"Great," Qiao Xiaojing said, "as long as the people can be in place, this thing will be more than half successful." ”
