Although it is the middle of November, it is considered to be the time when the full moon is in the sky, but the wind and snow weather in the past few days does not allow Haoyue to show a trace of her head and face; In any case, however, a full moon is always a full moon, and gloomy clouds are always unable to block the misty light that penetrates the clouds; The light that bounced back and forth between the high mountain and snowy slopes made the night in the mountains not dark.

Before leaving, Zhao Qi forced Song Nan to swear not to violate the oath, Song Nan made an oath at will, but Zhao Qi was very shrewd and saw Song Nan's perfunctory intentions.

"Lord Song, swear to be sincere."

"I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

"Cut ......" Zhao Qi sneered: "If you are sincere, you will swear according to my words; You follow me and read: If I, Song Nan, break the oath between me and Zhao Qi, I will give birth to a child as a slave, give birth to a daughter as a prostitute, have pus in my mouth and eyes, and have poisonous sores all over my body. ”

Song Nan picked up his big mouth and slapped Zhao Qi in the face, Zhao Qi immediately turned his face, saying that he would no longer lead the way up the mountain; Song Nan ordered someone to pick off his clothes and raise a knife to chop his life, Zhao Yi was startled and reluctantly agreed to set off. Song Nan had murderous intent towards this Zhao Qi, and decided to kill him with a knife after reaching the top, but now he can only intimidate and threaten, and cannot really do it.

In the night, Zhao Qi pointed to a snow wall on the side and whispered: "Climb up along this snow wall, there is a protruding rock three hundred steps away from the first three hundred steps on the right, and a cave has been dug under the rock, which is the first sentry checkpoint; I'm waiting for you at the bottom of the cliff, whether I can kill the sentry quietly depends on your ability. ”

Song Nan nodded, and ordered the two guards to stay under the snow wall and watch over Zhao Qi; He took the lead, gently stepped out of the snow nest on the snow wall, and climbed up with a dozen guards like geckos; The snow wall is not high, no more than four or five zhang, and the angle of inclination is not large, almost without much effort, Song Nan led people to the upper end of the snow wall.

The cat leaned over and carefully checked the movement, confirming that the slight climbing sound was not noticed, Song Nan waved his hand silently and walked slowly in the direction of the right; After walking more than 200 steps around the top of the slope, Song Nan heard the rustling of footsteps in the darkness ahead.

Everyone prostrated themselves and watched, one embedded in the back of the snowy slope. Behind the unobtrusive snow-covered rocks under the scene, there was a black shadow lying on the back to Song Nan and the others, and after a sound of Suosuo, a silver line shot out from the man's crotch, and after a crackling sound, the black shadow shuddered and stuffed the baby into his pants, turned his head and trotted under the rock.

", bad luck!" A guard Baihu cursed in a low voice, this guy just in the direction where he and the others climbed down, and he didn't know what he ate, and the smell of urine wafting down the wind was disgusting.

Song Nan gestured slowly, and the guards understood that under the rock was the cave where the sentry was hiding, and from the information provided by Zhao Qi, it can be seen that such a sentry cave is generally hiding seven or eight thieves, and it is not difficult to solve.

After the silent order, everyone took off the bow and arrow behind their backs, slowly approached the boulder, approached two zhang away, almost like a goshawk fighting a rabbit with agility, a group of people quickly jumped into the simple trench dug under the rock, through the thick grass curtain at the entrance of the cave, the faint bonfire red light in the cave can be seen, someone tore down the straw curtain, and shot a round of arrow rain into the hole unreasonably.

There was a screaming and moaning sound in the cave, and before the sound could spread, the second round of arrows had already followed, and then, five guards jumped into the cave, and by the faint embers of the bonfire, the seven thieves who were sleeping around the campfire had been shot dead in their sleep, and the remaining three sat in place in a daze and looked around in panic, and the other two moved quickly, and had drawn out the blades pressed under the pillow.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, blood splattered, and three heads rolled into the hole; The five guards pounced on the corpses with feathered arrows stuck in the ground one by one, making sure that these guys were dead, and then exited the cave.

"My lord, kill them all."

Song Nan waved his hand and said, "Cover the entrance of the cave with thick snow on the rocks." ”

The guards climbed out of the trench, and the three guards pushed down the snow that had gathered at the top of the rock, several feet thick, and there was a muffled pop and pop, and the trench was not buried by snow, and the entrance to the cave was buried under the snow.

Everyone quickly turned around, came to the bottom of the snow wall, threw down the long rope, and the guards below dragged Zhao Yi up with a rope around his waist and joined together.

Zhao Qi raised his big finger and said: "It's really amazing, it's not yet time for the meal, and I can't hear any sound below, admire and admire." ”

"Where do I go from here?" Song Nan said coldly.

Zhao Qi said: "Turn to the left, there is a mountain wall on the left, and then climb up." ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Why are the routes you know difficult to walk?" ”

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Why is it difficult? When it doesn't snow, it's all cliffs, mossy slopes, and it's impossible to climb at all; If it weren't for the snow in winter, this road would not have worked; Do you think that the place chosen by our outpost is so easy to be attacked from behind? If you don't think about the snow, don't even think about it. ”

Song Nan didn't want to be too verbose with him, so he led the team to the left according to his instructions, and after about half an hour, he saw another steeper slope of the snow wall.

So repeatedly, under the guidance of Zhao Qi, sure enough, the road went smoothly, and after a while, he had reached the mountainside. When resting, Song Nan looked up, and the dark mountain top was already in sight, and according to Zhao Qi, there were not many secret sentinels, there were two alarm stations on the top of the mountain, and only one on the middle slope, so it should be possible to kill all the sentinels soon.

Song Nan's heart was a lot calmer, looking back at the peak on the right side of the dark and dreary valley, and listening carefully, except for the howling of the night wind and the howling of the night wolf, there was no abnormal sound. However, it is not easy to feel the rope on the edge of the cliff and enter the valley without realizing it.

However, Wang Yong's plan was to try to get as close to the edge of the cliff as possible, and try not to expose his whereabouts, when Song Nan entered the valley, it would cause chaos, and after attracting the attention of the thieves, Wang Yong could take the opportunity to force himself into the valley.

"It's not early, it's all over as soon as it dawns, let's hurry up." Zhao Qi came up and said, his eyes shining in the dark night, and he was a little panting.

Song Nan said: "You are more anxious than me." ”

Zhao Qi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I will be free as soon as it ends, and I will not run out, I will go south and drill deep into the mountains for a year and a half, and after the outside subsides, I will change my face and find a place to settle down, you can rest assured, I will never do murder and arson again." ”

Song Nan said: "You don't have to tell me this, you want to be a good person, or a bad person, you have nothing to do with me; Just don't plant it in my hands, and be caught by me again, you don't have any conditions to talk about. ”

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "It's easy to say." ”

"Where's the sentry ahead?"

"It's not far up there, follow me."

Zhao Qi walked forward, Song Nan and the others followed closely, and after walking for half an hour, they suddenly felt that the mountain was going down, the road was getting smoother and smoother, and some small forests appeared around.

Song Nan felt strange and asked, "Why didn't you attack from behind?" Just swaggering along the flat road, will it be fine? ”

Zhao Qi didn't answer, his pace quickened, Song Nan followed quickly, and shouted softly: "Stop, stop." ”

Zhao Qi's footsteps were not slow but accelerated, Song Nan felt that something was wrong, his fingers put on the handle of the knife at his waist, and suddenly felt that he had stepped on the hard ground under his feet, and when he looked down, the snow on the ground seemed to have been swept clean, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good, I'm fooled." ”

Zhao Qi laughed, stopped and turned around: "Lord Song, spare you like a ghost, and it will not be inevitable for me." ”

After that, he pursed his lips with his bound hands and let out a terrible whistle, and suddenly there were fires all around, and the figures around the clearing were full of people and footsteps, and the black pressure pressed an unknown number of people from all around.

Song Nan scolded angrily: "You dare to yin me." ”

Zhao Qi kicked hard and fell into a clump of dead grass, Song Nan pulled out a fire gun and fired two shots at the grass, but Zhao Qi's laughter was heard in the distance.

"Lord Song, thank you for being kind enough to help me apply medicine to my leg, in fact, my injury is not that serious. If you can't kill me, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble. ”

As he spoke, the thieves shouted and gathered around, and under the torches, a tall scar-faced man with a middle-aged man of moderate stature appeared; The guards and Song Nan quickly gathered together, the firearms in their hands were already aimed around, and their fingers were tightly pressed on the trigger.

"Lord Song, don't act rashly, your firearms are useless, look at how many arrows I have here against you; If you dare to do it, I will teach you to become a hornet's nest. ”

The scar-faced man's voice was loud, shaking people's ear drums, Song Nan felt remorseful in his heart, his mind was a mess, and he gritted his teeth and was silent.
