Twelve masters rushed out of the cave exit, quickly and covertly rushed to the pile of rubble five miles to the northeast, and found the location of the pile of rubble behind a dense forest.

Everyone hid in the dense forest and observed the situation in the distance, only to see several wooden houses hidden in a large pile of rubble, and some mobile sentry posts were arranged around the rocks, and the closer to the position of the wooden houses, the denser the sentry became.

"This should be a den of horse thieves, look at this kind of guard situation should be a place for them to stay, we go in to capture the thief and capture the king first, and ask for the whereabouts of the captives in a while, and if you can't ask, you will exchange them for the house, and when you act, you must be neat and quick to decide, and you must not let this master escape." Chen Ruoping gathered the team and reminded in a low voice.

Everyone nodded, and they quickly approached the sentry posts around the rocks. The effort was not great, and all the dark and bright sentinels around the rocks were knocked down, and more than a dozen people joined forces to knock out and gently put them on the ground. There are a total of four wooden houses in the pile of rocks, Chen Ruoping simply allocated the manpower, the three masters greeted a wooden house, the manpower was distributed, and the twelve masters quietly touched the front of the wooden house they were responsible for, and quickly rushed into the wooden house with lightning speed.

The situation in each of the four huts was different, with only five or six people living in the middle two huts and a dozen people living in the huts on either side. The people in the middle two wooden houses seemed to have noticed the movement, and the six masters encountered an ambush as soon as they entered, and the horse thieves hiding in the shadows immediately shot a row of crossbow arrows when the eyes of the masters turned dark at the moment of opening the door, but the masters of the Central Army were also prepared, and when they heard the sound of the golden blade breaking through the air, they immediately waved their knives to block, and then rushed in more than a dozen to subdue the hidden horse thieves.

The situation in the wooden houses on both sides is relatively complicated, the horse thieves hidden in it are not only skilled in kung fu but also have excellent psychological quality, all of them are lurking when they hear the sound of opening the door, and when all the masters of the Central Army enter and approach their positions, they suddenly attack, and the six masters of the Central Army were caught off guard and immediately someone was hit by the knife and hung the lottery. The others who didn't hang the lottery also resisted a little scrambling. Although the door of the wooden house is open, there is not much light coming in due to the stone block, and the six masters just entered the house and they can't tell the situation inside and the number of horse thieves, but the horse thieves are quietly moving by a little light, their number of people is large and the hiding place is hidden, and the range of action of the sneak attack is small, and the killing machine in the wooden house is thrilling everywhere for a while.

At this time, Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping, who had already succeeded, had reinforcements from the wooden houses in the middle to the wooden houses on both sides, and before they came in, they directly threw in a cloud of incendiary materials, which illuminated the entire wooden house immediately, and more than a dozen horse thieves changed from a hidden state to an exposed state. The masters immediately seized the opportunity to slash and stab the sabers, and quickly subdued more than a dozen horse thieves and set fire to the acupoints.

Subduing the horse thief, Chen Ruoping and others quickly began to disperse people to ask for information. The horse thieves claimed to be just minions, and they stayed here to receive ransom, and they didn't know anything about the rest of the mountain.

Everyone tried their best to ask about the situation, and they all felt that something was wrong.

"Lord Chen, how do I feel that a few people are a little familiar?" Lei Bao pulled Chen Ruoping aside and whispered.

"I heard a familiar voice, but I couldn't remember who it was. Chen Ruoping groaned.

"yes, I thought it was my hallucination. I didn't expect you to feel this way. Lei Leopard exhaled and whispered: "Let's not stay here for a long time, hurry up and take these people back to the Central Army camp with the gold to continue the interrogation, it is better than wasting time here." ”

"Okay, then evacuate quickly. Chen Ruoping gave an order. Retreat with the crowd and the captives.

Sixteen people escorted the captives out of the rocks to the cave, and after converging the four masters, they opened the cave mechanism and quickly walked out of the cave and returned to the original hiding place, and then gathered the other three masters and went to the camp of the Central Army together.

The three groups of captives totaled more than 200 people, and all of them were ordered to have dumb points and some key points. I can only walk normally and lift the box, and I can't use any martial arts at all. Nineteen masters escorted these prisoners to the guard battalion directly under the Central Army Command where Chen Ruoping was located, and interrogated them by surprise overnight.

Just when the howls of the Central Army camp kept ringing out. A group of people on the side of the gendarmerie camp were also anxiously discussing, the ransom had been sent out for half a night, but none of the captives had been released, and everyone felt that they might have been wronged and played by horse thieves.

"Why didn't we ask for money in one hand and others in the first place, so that we are so passive now, and those brothers don't know whether they are alive or dead. A gendarmerie said anxiously.

"Let's make a request, we don't even see the hair of a horse thief, to whom do we ask?" said another gendarmerie band depressedly.

"That's right, this time it's completely the horse thief's side that has the initiative, and we're completely passive, hey... Now it's getting more and more passive. In case those horse thieves take the ransom and ask us to let them go down the mountain, how can they explain this to the court? The other gendarme said worriedly.

Everyone whispered and talked about each word, but the commander of the military police, Guo Congjun, sat there with his eyes closed, and everyone did not dare to disturb, so they could only continue to be anxious.

At this time, a bird herald shouted a report and hurriedly ran in, handed a bamboo tube to Guo Congjun, who quickly opened the bamboo tube and took out the note inside to take a look, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Commander, what's going on so panic?" someone asked in a whisper.

Before the words could be spoken, a cold arrow crashed into the stake of the camp, which made the group even more frightened, and they all speculated whether the horse thief was going to make more excessive demands, and really took the ransom and wanted the gendarmes to let go of the road. A person hurriedly ran out to take down the cold arrow, and presented the letter worn on the arrow to Guo Congjun, who opened the letterhead and looked at it and immediately tore it to shreds.

"You will lead the troops to the mountain immediately to suppress the bandits, and you must not stop for a moment, and you must catch a group of horse thieves for me before dawn. The soldier hatefully left a sentence, flew up and jumped to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and dodged away.

The six pipe bands looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Although their battalion had withdrawn from the inner encirclement, it was always in a state of departure, and they could re-enter the inner encirclement to suppress the bandits at the sound of an order. Soon, the military police battalion sounded some status whistles, and groups of gendarmes took advantage of the night to set out from the camp and break away from the large encirclement and march towards the inner encirclement.

Just as the large army was marching towards the mountains one after another, the military police commander Guo Congjun was also chasing a black shadow through the mountains and woodlands, and this black shadow was the person who had been firing cold arrows at the gendarmerie camp in the past few days, and every time he released the cold arrows, he disappeared. The first time the army sent 200 scouts to search urgently, the result was that the 200 scouts were wiped out in an instant, and the army did not dare to send scouts to search easily after experiencing this lesson, but this time the hateful horse thief had completely angered the army and forced the army to a dead end.

Besides, before joining the army, he was an elder of the Qingsong faction, and after more than ten years of training, his kung fu was more sophisticated, and he was skilled and smart, and he did not rashly enter the dense forest where the horse thief could hide, but directly cut an arc and ran to the front to block the horse thief, but after waiting for a while, the horse thief finally came out of the dense forest, and when he was about to get nearby, he suddenly turned around and ran.

Besides, how could the army allow the horse thief to escape, and immediately sped up his body and flew and chased without a point, and while chasing, he was still paying attention to the surrounding movements, so as not to have an ambush. Besides, the military kung fu is high, but the horse thief is not weak, and the two of them chased one after the other in the mountains and dense forests, seeing that they were getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the horse thief suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, and the three-edged arrow cluster rushed straight into the throat of the army like a meteor. Moreover, the army was already rushing forward, and the feather arrow was rushing towards him again, and a black light and a figure instantly staggered in the air. With such a high skill of the army, it is naturally impossible to lose under an arrow, and he avoided the feather arrow with a slight side, and the three-edged feather arrow passed through the ear of the soldier with a swishing sound of the wind, and shot deeply into a tree in the distance, and the arrow was directly inserted into more than five inches deep, which shows the power of this arrow. As soon as the congjun was glad to turn sideways to change his breath and continue to chase, three feather arrows suddenly shot from three directions, and Leng Sensen's arrows were all aimed at the old force that had passed away and the new force had not yet been born, and completely sealed the space for him to jump up and down, dodge left and right.

As soon as Congjun gritted his teeth and flashed to the right, he took an arrow in his left arm, and the arrow directly knocked him to the ground with a strong impact. When the army landed, he quickly took a look, and the horse thief in front of him was gone, and there was no wind blowing and falling leaves in the other three directions, and no movement was heard. As soon as he landed, he rolled over and flew towards the gendarmerie camp, and all the way he heard the sound of the gendarmes going up the mountain.

"There are horse thieves in ambush five miles ahead, there are at least four of them, you must pay attention to safety. After greeting the oncoming gendarmes, he suddenly turned to the west, and disappeared from the sight of a group of gendarmes.

"Where are you going with an arrow wound?" a gendarme asked in a low voice, but he didn't hear a response from the army, and it seemed that he had already hurried away. "Let's go, stay safe!" the gendarmerie commander did not hear any reply, and ordered his subordinates to continue walking with a wave of his hand.

Just when a group of gendarmes searched all the way along the mountain and rock dense forest, and went all the way up the mountain to clear out the horse thieves, Ding Xiaofeng and others were hiding in a stone pile and listening to the movement outside. (To be continued......)
