Chapter 45: Capture the thief and capture the king first

Sure enough, the four mountain bandits almost didn't even need to ask, and they explained everything completely.

Even including who has a leg with Mrs. Zhai, who stole the pants of the big boss.

This made Lee Seung-gu speechless.

Eventually, all the information needed to be obtained, whether it was the location of the treasure trove, the hiding place of the remnants of the bandits, or how to climb down the cliff.

"Escort them back to the county office, and how they should be sentenced according to the law of Dayun."

Li Chengjiu said solemnly, and several officials responded one after another, so he stepped forward and took a few people off the plank.

If the four mountain bandits were amnestied, their legs were so weak that they couldn't even take a step.

There was no way, so they had to slow down first, and then handed it over to Governor Qiu's mansion to deal with.

It was already noon when Li Chengjiu left the temple.

After eating some clear water, Li Qianhu chose some soldiers and prepared to go to Hutou Mountain to find out.

With USP self-defense, there is no place he doesn't dare to go now.

Li Qianhu moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, he gathered more than 50 soldiers.

These soldiers all wore long knives at their waists, and they were all in good spirits, and they were obviously carefully selected elite soldiers.

Li Chengjiu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he exhaled a long breath, "Go up the mountain!" ”

The sun was scorching, but the air was very cool.

A group of people went up to Hutou Mountain, to say that although this mountain has not been occupied by mountain bandits for many years, those mountain roads left behind are still easy to find.

The mountain is very large, but it didn't take much effort to reach the top.

Along the road, you can still faintly see some abandoned sentry posts, as well as three or five horse circles, although the fence of the horse circle has collapsed, but it is not difficult to see that the mountain was still very beautiful at that time, after all, there are not many mountain bandits with so many horses.

Further on, the roof of the cottage hall can already be seen.

Passing through a mountain gate, large wooden houses are scattered and arranged, these houses have either burned down or have decayed and collapsed, and it is estimated that hundreds of families have lived in them, many of whom must have been family members of these mountain bandits.

The main hall is at the innermost end of the stockade, and the two-story wooden attic is very rudimentary, and the wooden staircase leading to the second floor is broken.

Li Chengjiu ordered people to search here first to see if there were any mountain bandit spies guarding them.

Of course, in such a big battle as theirs, there are spies who have long been hidden.

"Lord Wang!"

Li Qianhu stepped forward and clenched his fists, "This two-story wooden pavilion should be the residence of the bandit leader Flying Tiger back then, so I will order someone to go in and investigate." ”

"No need, I can't find anything in it after so many years, this wooden pavilion is corroded, it's too dangerous, don't let people go in and take risks."

Li Chengjiu said disapprovingly, and Li Qianhu nodded hurriedly.

Dozens of people made a cursory investigation, and it was obvious that there were no traces of human life here in recent days.

"Let's go, go to the cliff in the back mountain."

At the sound of the order, everyone stopped scattering and rushed to the cliff behind the mountain.

This is where the Scar Man confessed to the treasure house.

The cliff is so steep that you can't find your way down without the confessions of a few people.

Bypassing a huge rock, the dense weeds had obviously been cut down, so it was easy to spot the path down the mountain.

Along the way, the road is not very easy to walk, about half an hour to come to the bottom of the mountain.

Li Qianhu looked left and right before he stepped forward to report:

"Lord, according to the confession, all the way south from here, as long as you climb over a gorge, you can see a cave with a treasure house."

Li Chengjiu nodded, first held the USP pistol in his hand and opened the insurance, and then said: "Let everyone be vigilant, those remnants of the mountain bandits are hidden around us." ”

"Yes!"

Li Qianhu received the order, and immediately called a few people to explore the way.

Li Chengjiu was protected in the middle, and the large army drove all the way to the southernmost gorge.

Sure enough.

After walking less than two miles, the gorge appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Qianhu observed carefully, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to stop, and then turned back to Li Chengjiu's side and said:

"Lord Wang, the terrain here is treacherous, and there is a fear of ambush, so the lower official will order someone to explore the road first, and everything is better to be careful."

Lee Seung-koo breathed a sigh of relief.

As he walked this way, he felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower.

Although there are two small slopes on both sides that are not too high, if they are really caught in the canyon by the ambushed mountain bandits, then they will become turtles in the urn.

Hearing that Li Qianhu's suggestion was very appropriate, he wanted to approve him, but at this moment, he only heard a sound in his ears.

Immediately after, a trombone sounded.

Dozens of people suddenly appeared in the surrounding grass.

These men were armed with long knives and shouted in their mouths, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded dozens of them.

Lee Seung-gu was shocked.

"! Can these people talk about martial arts? We haven't entered the ravine yet! ”

Li Qianhu did not panic when he saw this, but frowned, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to line up and surround the prince in the middle.

Soon, the mountain bandits formed an encirclement, and they didn't even leave a gap for them.

Li Qianhu snorted coldly.

In his eyes, these people are regular soldiers, and if they can't even deal with a group of mustards, then they should resign and go home to farm.

Turning his head to let the prince calm down for a while, then he stepped out and shouted loudly with confidence:

"Do you bandit remnants want to rebel when they gather here? Don't want your head? ”

This roar first gave this group of mountain bandits a hat of rebellion.

But how could these people pay attention to his official words?

They all danced the long knives in their hands and held up their momentum first.

Li Chengjiu has never seen such a scene, and when he was in school, he was called to the bottom of the bridge to act as an idle user, and then listened to the two school brothers brag to each other.

There was never a fight.

But now, it's completely two formations.

There were dozens of people on each side, all of them holding big knives in their hands, and he could see that not only was his heart abrupt, but even his legs and stomach were a little tendoned.

"Damn, I'm really angry!"

scolded himself secretly, this nervousness, his fingers did not obey the call and directly pulled the trigger.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and the frightened Li Qianhu almost jumped more than two meters away.

"What's the situation?"

Li Chengjiu was also taken aback by himself, but fortunately, the bullet hit the ground, which had to be a little bit inward to dry his feet.

Trembling, he exhaled and hurriedly explained: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's a fire." ”

I touched my little breasts, and I still had some palpitations.

But suddenly being so frightened made him feel a little less nervous.

And at the same time.

The mountain bandits began to disperse, and out of them came a long-bearded old man.

The old man squinted, and carried a huge tiger-headed knife on his dark and thick shoulders.

The four iron rings on the tiger head knife collided with each other.

As soon as this person came out, the surrounding bandits shouted in unison at the same time: "Welcome to the big boss!" ”

The sound shook like thunder.

The birds in the surrounding forest flew away without a trace.

Li Qianhu's brows furrowed.

"Peng Hu? This is the number one bandit on the county government's wanted notice, and I haven't been able to find him for many years, but I didn't expect this person to really appear here. ”

muttered in his heart, but Li Chengjiu leaned into his ear and whispered:

"This is the leader of this gang of bandits?"

Li Qianhu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates have been derelict in their duties and put you in such a dangerous situation, and my subordinates will order people to take down this group of mountain bandits." ”

Li Chengjiu didn't care, just measured the distance with his eyes and continued:

"Do you know what it means to capture a thief and capture the king first?"

"Huh? Lord, you are ......"

Thinking that the prince had some plan, Li Qianhu was just about to ask, but saw Li Chengjiu pull away the soldiers who were blocking him and walked out.

Li Qianhu was shocked.

But before he could react, he saw that the prince raised his hand and yelled without even saying a word:

"Protect your head!"

Before the words fell, a "bang" gunshot was heard.

Not only the bandits on the opposite side, but even the soldiers around them were taken aback.

Peng Hu was the same, and he really subconsciously covered his head with both hands, "What is it?" ”

Slightly flustered, he glanced left and right, and nothing seemed to happen.

You can suddenly feel a cold in your lower body.

Looking down, I saw that a blood hole appeared inexplicably on the inner thigh, and the blood began to spray out like a fountain in an instant.

Li Chengjiu pouted in embarrassment when he saw this.

Damn, shoot crooked......
