Li Zongqi discussed with the county magistrate and requisitioned a few small courtyards as temporary residences, after the resettlement, Li Zongqi didn't know where to get a whole plate of peanuts and pulled Su Xiaolou to drink the wine he secretly brought.

A captain came in with a butcher and said he knew of a demon cult demon in a cave in Rooster Ridge.

Li Zongqi and Su Xiaolou glanced at each other and asked, "Are you sure?" "Li Zongqi has been in the Nanjing Town Government for more than 20 years, relying on the work attitude of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, he has steadily sat in the position of the general flag, and he has been staying for six years.

He didn't really want to hear the news of the Demon Sect demons, so according to his plan, he slipped around the periphery of Rooster Ridge for two or three days, saying that he had found no trace of the Demon Sect and went back to his life.

The butcher had disrupted his plans.

I saw that the butcher said with great certainty: "Sure." ”

"How many of them are there?"

"About seventy or eighty people, and they still have firearms in their hands."

"You go back first! Take us into the ridge tomorrow! ”

After sending the butcher away, Li Zongqi was not calm.

Su Xiaolou congratulated with wine: "Old man Li, congratulations!" The opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has come, and they haven't even arrived with our ordinary people, and they will definitely be able to capture them tomorrow. ”

Li Zongqi said with a sad face: "I heard that the demon sect demons are strong in martial arts, have unique skills, are heinous, have three heads and six arms, eat human flesh, drink human blood, and pick human skin......

Su Xiaolou said helplessly: "Old man Li, we are here to suppress bandits, not to collect monsters." ”

"No, I have to hurry up and report to the pacification envoy to make a decision."

Li Zongqi called a government official to go to Qing'an Mansion overnight to deliver a letter.

"It's okay even if it's a youkai, you can take a gourd tomorrow."

"Ward off evil spirits?"

"You hold up the gourd and shout to the cave: Do you dare to answer if I call you? As long as the opposite side answers, the monster will be put into the gourd. ”

……

"Ouch!"

"Who!" Li Zongqi didn't sleep very well all night, suddenly heard a shout, suddenly woke up and ejected from the bed, and saw Lei Zhenfu with dark circles under his eyes, wearing a battle armor and sitting on the ground where he splashed black dog blood last night, a little overwhelmed!

"Ouch! My old waist, my ass, can't come and help me. ”

When the envoy of Lei Zhen heard the report from Meng County, he thought that Su Xiaolou was also in Meng County, so he couldn't rest assured, and drove the horse with the elite all night.

Li Zongqi immediately helped Lei Zhen up with an embarrassed face.

Lei Zhenfu's envoy was recuperating in Meng County, and Li Zongqi led the team, and a group of people followed the butcher who reported last night into Rooster Ridge.

The internal terrain of Rooster Ridge is rugged, and there are hunting pits arranged by hunters for hunting, which is very difficult to walk, and the elderly Jinyi guards are beginning to lose their physical strength. Xiucai and Fat Man have already fallen to the back of the line.

A group of people finally arrived at the entrance of the cave with a hum, and General Li ordered that a hundred people should be left to surround the entrance of the cave, and the rest of the people went in to arrest people.

The light in the cave is dim, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, there is no fire, everyone is cheering up the spirit of twelve points, there is burning wax oil on the cave wall, it can be seen that it is inhabited.

After hearing an unusual bird's call, there was a noise from the depths of the cave.

Li Zongqi sensed that something was wrong and ordered everyone to speed up, and by the time the large army had already withdrawn, there were only five or six people in black robes running into the secret passage.

After a few gunshots, they escaped, and the cave was dimly lit and difficult to aim. After the mechanism was automatically closed, it could no longer be opened, Li Zongqi summoned the elite, and shattered the mechanism with internal force, and the Jinyi guards who chased into the cave were all injured by the hidden weapon, and everyone did not dare to enter easily, and the person had already run away, and the duck in his hand flew away!

Mr. Li ordered a search of the cave, but only found some papers with strange patterns. Su Xiaolou found a strange book, which seemed to be used for alchemy.

A group of people just went down the mountain in despair. I was tired enough, I didn't eat the game, I lost my soldiers, and I didn't catch anyone.

Lei Zhenfu didn't blame him after he found out, the demon sect demon was treacherous and cunning, and the court had no choice but to make trouble for hundreds of years, how could it be easy to catch.

He also understood that it would be difficult to catch the snake again, and it was useless to stay here, so he ordered a small team of people to be left behind, and the rest of the people returned to Anqing Mansion.

Who to keep ?

Li Zongqi grabbed a handful of bellflowers: "Come!" Smoke it! Draw the short team to stay. ”

……

Su Xiaolou hung a bellflower in his mouth, sat cross-legged on the haystack depressed, and watched the army return to Anqing Mansion to hold a small banquet, sauna, and listen to small songs.

How sad can you be, just like a group of eunuchs going up to the Qinglou!

"Boss, you now have the true inheritance of Mr. Li!"

“……”

"Boss! Go back and find a temple to worship! ”

“……”

In the past two days, Su Xiaolou led the dogs into the mountains to hunt game when they were hungry, and when they were bored, they made a target to practice guns.

On the third day, Su Xiaolou was already planning to withdraw, and this hard time finally came to an end, who knew that the butcher came again two days ago, saying that he had seen the demon sect demon again.

Su Xiaolou frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"It's true, sir, when I was hunting, I hid on the hillside and saw them gathered around."

Su Xiaolou finally understood Mr. Li.

"Xiong Er, you go to the Anqing Town Government Department and report this matter to the envoy of Lei Town."

"Yes, Boss."

When it was dark, a masked brocade guard led the elite to rush over, there were not many people, but they were all well-trained with excellent firearms.

The leader stepped forward and said to Su Xiaolou: "In the next Zhou Ping, the government of Nanjing Jinyi Wei Town will be ordered by Lei Zhenfu to come to assist Su Xiaoqi in suppressing the bandits. ”

Su Xiaolou asked Xiong Er in a low voice: "Does our town government department have this person?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"I've been in the town government department for eight years and haven't heard of it."

"Boss! I know that Zhou Baihu is more socially fearful, he never participates in parties, and he doesn't take credit, the Jiang Yang thief who killed thirty-two people in a row was caught by Zhou Baihu, but he was robbed of credit by his boss. ”

Su Xiaolou somewhat understood why Lei Zhenfu sent such a person to himself.

But he still didn't believe that a hundred households would listen to Xiaoqi's deployment, and said tentatively: "Don't dare!" Lord Baihu, this operation is still up to you. ”

Zhou Baihu said stubbornly: "Lei Zhenfu said that you came to deploy, and you came to deploy!" With that, he walked away.

A small flag deploys a hundred households, and those who don't know think that Su Xiaolou is a related household.

In the evening, Su Xiaolou took the wine and went to Zhou Baihu to discuss the strategy of suppressing the bandits, and saw Zhou Baihu still meditating on the bed with his face covered.

"Zhou Baihu, they are all their own people, don't cover your face, I brought good wine, took off your face towel and let us drink two glasses."

"Nope."

"Why?"

"I can't speak when I take off my face towel."

“……”

Su Xiaolou sat down by himself and asked, "Tomorrow to suppress bandits, what is a good strategy for Zhou Baihu, let's discuss it together." ”

"Nope."

"I heard that Zhou Baihu is strong in martial arts, and he has arrested many vicious fugitives, I wonder if he has ever fought with the demon sect?"

"Nope."

Ten dishes of peanuts and rice can't talk about this day, Su Xiaolou got up and said: "Tomorrow, we will rely on Zhou Baihu to suppress bandits, and Zhou Baihu will rest early." ”
