That night, Mo Conggang returned to the station with the Flying Dragon Battalion, and more than 10,000 people returned to the six camps one after another, but before his ass was hot, he received a secret order from He Ming, asking him to secretly rush to a ruined temple in the dense forest fifteen miles southeast of Shuanglong Mountain at three o'clock tomorrow.

After reading the secret order, Mo Cong directly burned it with a lamp, and then extinguished the lamp and fell asleep.

The next day, Mo Cong trained the recruits all morning, rested for a while after lunch in the camp, and then went to other camps under the pretext of riding horses and quietly running to the designated place.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mo Cong arrived at the fifteen-mile broken temple, more than a dozen people had gathered in the broken temple, Mo Cong looked around and saw that all the famous masters were famous, He Ming, Deng Yong, Xu Hu, Lei Bao, Peng Tianhua, Lu Can, Mu Jia and other acquaintances of the left guard system Needless to say, the guard faction also came to a lot of masters, two of them are veteran eighteen masters, and the rest are a new generation of masters. Mo Cong counted, and he was exactly eighteen people.

Everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was natural to have all kinds of greetings when they got together, and while greetings, Chen Ruoping hurriedly came in from outside, not wearing the commander armor, but wearing a gray-brown cloth coat.

"Everyone is here, I'll arrange the combat mission. Chen Ruoping whispered, "Today's you are precisely the lineup of the eighteen masters of the new Central Army, bringing so many masters together, how difficult it is to see how difficult the mission goal is." To make a long story short, we are going to hide near the place where the horse thief took the money, take the opportunity to catch the tongue and ask about the situation on the mountain and the place where the captured gendarmes are kept, and then go up the mountain without a single soldier to hunt down the horse thieves and rescue the captured gendarmes. This task sounds daunting, but everyone is a master, and it shouldn't be that difficult to accomplish. The horse thief must live and the gendarmes must be rescued alive, these are the two requirements of today's mission. ”

"Lord Chen, I have a question, those horse thieves are so blatantly asking for silver. Aren't they afraid that we will arrange it in secret?" asked Xu Hu.

"They probably don't know how good we are. Someone replied for Chen Ruoping.

"Is there a master hidden among the gendarmes who deliver the silver, and do we cooperate with them or do we act alone?" asked Lei Bao.

"This operation is a top-secret operation, in order to ensure the non-proliferation of information, the gendarmes do not know that we are going to act, and we will make our arrangements with the money they send them, and the two sides will not interfere with each other. Chen Ruoping said.

"Where is the specific place where the silver will be handed over?" asked He Ming.

"The horse thief will have a trick for a while, and the handover location has changed three times so far, of course, this is also related to the continuous shrinking of the encirclement on our side, after all, it is impossible for the horse thief to stay in place and wait for death. Tonight's handover will be in a clearing surrounded by rocks on the mountain peaks on the eastern side of Ssangyong Mountain. The handover time is three o'clock, let's change into clothes now and quickly arrive near the designated position to hide, so as not to get ahead of us to make arrangements. Chen Ruoping said and put a large bag of clothes on the incense case of the broken temple, signaling everyone to hurry up and change their clothes.

The eighteen masters picked up the clothes and looked at them, all of them were the kind of rock-colored clothes worn by Chen Ruoping, such clothes were extremely concealed and confusing whether they were acting during the day or at night, and they were most suitable for mountain scout operations in places like Shuanglong Mountain.

Quickly changed his clothes and covered his face, the eighteen masters followed Chen Ruoping out of the broken temple and went up to the east side of Shuanglong Mountain along the dense forest. Then, unconsciously, he walked along the cover of trees, stones, etc., and infiltrated the encirclement, arrived at the designated location, and hid in the designated place, quietly waiting for the person who gave the silver and the person who took the silver. Some of them hide from the vantage point to observe the whole situation, some hide closer to the place where the silver is taken so that they can strike at any time, and some are scattered and hidden in a slightly farther position so that they can be behind when the horse thief arranges or inspects the goods. After everyone hid themselves, they quietly lurked, observing their respective monitoring points with bated breath and listening to their surroundings.

In this way, he lurked motionless for more than four hours, and the time had reached the second day, and everything was silent in the middle of the night. A bright moon hangs high on the main peak on the east side of Shuanglong Mountain, and thousands of lights shine through the branches and rocks, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Nineteen people listened with bated breath to the surrounding movements, and after a while, a rustling sound sounded. More than 200 gendarmes walked with some boxes and looked with their heads shrunken, and as they looked, they came to a flat ground with bright moonlight. There were more than 20 large open wooden boxes on the ground, and the gendarmes each put down the boxes in their hands, and then took out a gold ingot from it and put it into the 20 large wooden boxes, and each two ingots of gold were held high above their heads and collided with each other, and then gently stacked into the large wooden box, as if the horse thief used this method to identify the authenticity of the gold.

The effort is not big, 50,000 taels of gold are all neatly stacked in more than 20 boxes, and those boxes are all specially made boxes, no more, no less just packed, it seems that the horse thieves are already very experienced in this kind of thing, not only to distinguish the authenticity, but also to ensure that the weight is full. The gendarmes finished loading the gold, picked up the empty boxes and walked back, and in a short time the silence around the twenty boxes was restored, and only the gold inside glowed with a seductive yellow glow in the moonlight.

The luster of the gold was pleasing to the eye, but the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and everyone waited for more than an hour without seeing a single ghost, but no one was impatient or talking nonsense. This is how the scout master is trained, and everyone usually practices for more than five hours, but for three days and three nights, they have to maintain absolute stillness and absolute silence.

While everyone was quietly waiting for the horse thief to appear, there was a sudden click in the place where the gold was placed, and more than two dozen large chests fell into the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was another click, and the ground returned to its original state.

The people who were near that place were all messy in the wind, and they didn't expect the horse thief to play with such high technology, but the people who were far away didn't know what was going on, but they didn't get up rashly when they heard the noise. Chen Ruoping put his ear to the ground and listened to the sound of the ground the moment the box disappeared, and after listening for a while, he made a gesture, and then Deng Yong immediately dodged and picked up a big stone to smash the ground open.

Mo Cong made a gesture to stop Deng Yong, and while intercepting, he stretched out his foot and slid on the ground, and a soft sound appeared on the ground.

Chen Ruoping stretched out his thumb and praised it, and jumped into the hole first, the other fifteen people also rushed in, and the last three stayed in place and lurked and guarded the entrance.

The sixteen men who entered the cave made rapid progress along the cave, and soon caught up with the horse thieves in front of them carrying large wooden boxes. In the darkness of the cave, there was no light to be seen, and sixteen men quickly approached, and with the skill of listening and arguing, they quickly knocked down a group of horse thieves carrying boxes, and then quickly began to interrogate and torture, asking about the situation on the mountain and the place where the captives were being held.

These sixteen people are all scout masters and also masters of asking for information, but those horse thieves are also very tough, and they don't reveal any information when they are killed, and they insist that they are only handing over the ransom, and they don't know anything else. Sixteen people asked for a while but did not ask for any useful information, and they were afraid that the delay would be noticed by the horse thieves waiting outside for wiring, so they had to light the holes of these horse thieves in the cave first, and quickly rushed to the exit of the cave.

Sixteen men spread out and marched along the dark hole in the ground, walking for about a mile, when a slip of earth and stone steps appeared in front of them. "Mo Cong, open the door!" Chen Ruoping whispered, asking Mo Cong to play again and forcibly open the cave mechanism. Mo Cong didn't speak, quietly walked up the earth and stone steps, grabbed a stone crack with his ten fingers, and slid horizontally, with a soft sound, a top wall was forced into the groove of the mechanism.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw that the mechanism was opened, and someone above immediately asked: "How is it, have you succeeded?"

"Got it. Mo Cong whispered, and rushed out first, Chen Ruoping saw that he hurriedly followed, and when he went to the ground, he saw five or six stunned horse thieves standing on the ground, all of whom had been caught in the acupoints before they had time to shout.

Chen Ruoping and Mo Cong quietly dragged a horse thief down the cave, closed the exit of the hole and quickly interrogated the information. The horse thief, like the previous group of horse thieves, did not let go, saying that he was only responsible for receiving the ransom, and did not know anything else.

"Fart, you have to send the ransom to a place, don't you even know where to send it, don't you say it, don't say that Lao Tzu will chop you into pieces of meat and feed the dogs. A very fierce man said something in the dark, and then slashed at the thief's arm, and the thief was about to cry out in pain, and someone immediately covered his mouth.

"You can give you a good time, and I can even kill you without killing you, if you don't open your mouth like this, Lao Tzu will let you die in pieces for a few days. Another voice said viciously.

"I'm hiring... I ......" the horse thief muffled for mercy.

Let him go, let him speak, forgive him and don't dare to be dishonest. Xu Hu pulled out his knife and said.

When Mu Jia heard this, he easily opened his hand and let the horse thief speak.

"When we receive the ransom, we send it to a pile of rocks five miles northeast of the country, where there are a few wooden houses, and where our men answer them, and I really don't know where the captives are being held. The horse thief whispered.

When everyone heard this, they quickly asked about the deployment of personnel and the situation of the sentry posts on the other side of the rocks, and the horse thief said that he was just a small minion and did not know anything about these things.

"It seems that he really doesn't know, let's not waste time, let's go quickly, in case we can catch them on the other side of the rubble, everything can be asked. Lei Leopard whispered.

Chen Ruoping also felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he quickly allocated his manpower, leaving four people nearby to guard the entrance of the cave to prevent horse thieves from running in and stealing the boxes, and the other eleven people followed her to the pile of rubbles fifteen miles away.
