The four of them sat on the top of the mountain among the boulders, their faces solemn.

Zhou Weiji continued: "The thieves in the mountain, we have really seen only a few dozen, and as for the hundreds, they are only spit out from the mouths of the thieves. We have not gone deep into the depths of the giant cave, and the enemy situation is unknown. It is also unknown whether most of them have fled to the vicinity of Salmon Island to set up ambushes. Moreover, there is also Li Jiqian, the brother of Li Jichong who stayed in Beijing, Tuoba Xiaozhi just confided that he asked people to greet people from Beijing, perhaps referring to Li Jiqian. If he had escaped from the capital, he would naturally join Li Jichong and go to sea. ”

Dao Wufeng suddenly asked, "If you say that, the general that the second brother saw in the giant cave must be Tuoba Xiaozhi?" ”

Zhou Wei didn't dare to guarantee, "Everyone calls him General Tuoba, and this person is very skilled and alert, if it weren't for Tuoba Xiaozhi, he should be a powerful general in Xiazhou." According to my speculation, Li Jichong should still be in the giant cave. ”

Gao Feng patted his head and asked blankly, "Second brother, if it is really as you said, how are these thieves going to get out of the mountains and fly to Salmon Island?" ”

Zhou Weiji poked the crack in the stone with a branch, "You can't fly like a winged bird, but you can escape like a snake and a mouse, isn't there a dark river here?" ”

"But haven't we already sent someone to guard the exit of the Dark River?" Sanyu still finds it incredible.

Zhou Weiji shook his head, "The terrain in the giant cave is complex, even the local hunters don't know it, and it is not impossible that there is an underground dark river that can go out of Huangxian County and go straight to Haikou near Shamen Island." ”

Only in this way can the actions of these thieves be explained. Even when they suddenly robbed merchant ships repeatedly in Huangxian, they were deliberately trying to attract the attention of the yamen. In order to attract the Dengzhou forbidden army out of the camp.

"What the second brother said is reasonable, so what should we do?" Dao Wufeng asked, and Sanyu and Gao Feng also looked at Zhou Weiji. Waiting for him to make up his mind, although Zhou Weiji did not command the troops, he was a military officer of the same grade as Zhao Bin, the commander of the county lieutenant Xiang Army, and now he is the head of the Huang County team, and his skills and prestige are not low in the Huang County Xiang Army.

Zhou Weiji frowned and pondered for a moment, "These are all my speculations, or there may be omissions. We need to be prepared. Brother Chang, you first send someone to inform the brothers in the box army who are defending everywhere that you must not rush into the giant cave. If the thief takes the initiative to show up, he will be killed with a bow and arrow first, and the rest will be ordered by Zhao's commander, and no rockets should be used to prevent a mountain fire. The fourth brother and Wu Feng immediately went out of the mountain. Report the matter here to the two adults. Let them decide. No matter how the two adults act, after the two of you have finished reporting, you will rush to Dengzhou Shamen Island day and night, if you encounter the forbidden army on the way, you should meet a scholar in white clothes and white horses, that person is named Lei Tianze, and the fourth brother should remember him, that is, Lei Fuzi, who teaches in the Yixue School in Beigou Village. You've met a few times. ”

Gao Feng nodded, "Lei Fuzi is a useless scholar who can't be picked up on his shoulders or lifted in his hands. What is he making a fuss about? ”

Zhou Weiji smiled, "This person is strong in martial arts, and the fourth brother should not be underestimated." Then you tell him about my speculations, and he has his own ideas. If you don't encounter it, you will also inform the commander of the forbidden army of the situation here, and then fly to Dengzhou Shamen Island to inform General Gao Huaide of my speculation, and it will not hurt to strengthen the precautions. In any case, before dawn, the two of you must explore the terrain to find a favorable position to ambush, once the thief takes the ship and goes to sea, the fourth brother is responsible for disturbing the thief, and Wufeng will continue to ambush, just waiting for Li Jichong, Tuoba Xiaozhi and even Li Jiqian to show up. Tuoba Xiaozhi and Li Jiqian can be shot directly, leaving Li Jichong alive, this person is very useful. Wufeng, your ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps is still there, right? ”

Dao Wufeng likes to press a few fingers of the Shixuan acupoint with the thumb of his right hand, this action was noticed by Zhou Weiji when he was in the army, and now his habits have not changed, and this unique stunt should not be left behind on the way to escape.

Dao Wufeng nodded, "Second brother, don't worry, as long as they dare to show their faces, they will die under the arrow." ”

Zhou Weiji patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were unfinished, and Dao Wufeng nodded, "Second brother doesn't need to say much, Wufeng knows what you mean." ”

Although the knife has no edge, it is not water-permeable, and it does not have an advantage in entering the giant cave to capture bandits. If he can go to Salmon Island to ambush at a high level, once Zhou Weiji's speculation comes true, then he will shoot the thief without a blade, which is the first achievement of the battle, and the crime can be cleared. If Zhou Weiji's speculation fails, then he will lose this opportunity.

This is a certain risk, but he believes in Zhou Weiji, knowing that he sacrificed himself for his own plans, with such a brother who is kind-hearted, even if the speculation fails, what regret is there for losing this opportunity!

"Remember, the Tuoba thieves are not weak in their kung fu, and they must not fight hard, and if they drink the poison I put in the water, they will be weak in the second half of the night, but since the Tuoba bandits are good at using the poison, they will not know what is wrong with the water. A few of them are armed with double-edged scimitars, and I don't need to say much about the power of this scimitar, and the general Tuoba is good at using quenching flying knives, so they all need to be careful. Without further ado, let's split up right away. ”

The three nodded, and Gao Feng asked, "Second brother, what about you?" ”

Zhou Weiji stood up, "I want to enter the giant cave and find out the truth about the enemy." ”

The three of them showed a worried look, and Zhou Weiji waved his hand, "Fourth brother, you ride the sunspot, the sunspot is fast at night, and the horse that Wufeng brought back from Meixian should also be able to follow." Brother Chang, Wu Feng, Fourth Brother, this battle is dangerous, you cherish it so much, when you take down the thieves, our brothers will definitely drink it! ”

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and acted in three ways.

Let's talk about Zhou Weiji, he changed into the same night clothes as the thieves, changed to a hidden position and sneaked into the giant cave. His eyes were like lightning, his movements were as light as a cat, and he carefully avoided the secret defense between flashes and approached the corner of the giant cave. The guard of this corner is a bandit armed with a double-edged scimitar, the size of which is comparable to him, Zhou Weiji found that this person appeared in Tuoba Xiaozhi until he left, only bent down and saluted without saying a word, if he could take this person down, and then bring a masked black cloth, Zhou Weiji would definitely be able to blend in with the enemy.

At this time, it was already unitary time, Jin Wuxi fell, the cold fog rose in the mountains, and the vision darkened. In the giant cave, someone issued an order, "According to the general's order, break the mountain and attack at two o'clock, lure the enemy into the grotto and kill, and take a fast boat from the west waterway out of the grotto to take the water port directly tomorrow, seize the boat and go to sea, and wait for the first meal." ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Weiji frowned, stared at the target, and saw that the herald took him and another black-clothed man with a double-edged scimitar to the depths of the giant cave. Zhou Wei thought about it and waited in place.

Soon after, the two came out and hid in a few stalagmites not far from Zhou Weiji's hiding place, whispering.

"I didn't expect the general to let the two of us stay, dumb, what do you think? Our brother is done this time! ”

The other was silent.

"Don't compare, how can I see it when it's so dark! You must have repeated General Tuoba's words again, saying that the two of us are deeply valued by the Lord, and entrusted with a heavy task, luring thousands of Zhou troops to besiege with a hundred soldiers, and after successfully getting out of trouble, we will become generals! Dumb, do you really think we can get out of trouble and go to sea from the water port? (To be continued......)
