Tao Hong hugged him and walked to the hall, pressed him to sit at the dining table, filled a bowl of slurry fish and fish, and brought a bun and stuffed it into his hand, persuading: "Fifth brother, fill your stomach first before you have the strength to ---."

Forced a smile, poured a few mouthfuls of fish noodle soup, gnawed a mouthful of steamed buns, chewed in his mouth, his eyes were like lightning, his heart was indeed like having made up his mind, he thought about it, Xu Cao's battalion of soldiers and bandits was more likely, and remembered Ding Gui's face, if so, it was inseparable from that Ding Gui's thief. hated so much that he clenched his teeth, and the bun in his mouth was like Ding Gui's meat, and he couldn't wait to tear him off piece by piece.

Just poured a bowl of years of cellar years of red, candlelight cherry red wine soup, such as crystal red blood jade, lubricating bright, mellow and fragrant, head up full of drink down, ambiguous flow from the throat, instantly rush to the whole body to penetrate every capillary blood pores, transparent and smooth, suddenly let people to the soul together to get drunk, like lying in a thick flower bed, fragrant overflowing soft nectar. But Huo Dao was not in such a mood at this time.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the hospital, Huo Dao got up and waved his hand and patted Tao Hong's arm, relatively speechless, just laughed at each other, Huo Dao stepped out of the hospital, flew on the horse, and galloped away.

Out of Taoxia Village, at the intersection of Ganquan Village and Izuxiguan, Shidan led people to crawl in the snow, looking for something.

When Huo Dao galloped over, Shi Dan ushered in and stretched out his hand to Huo Dao and asked, "Fifth brother, do you recognize this thing?"

Huo Dao raised his hand and took it, and in front of him was a button, which was the button of a lady's coat, and this kind of button was rare in the eight aqueducts, only the steel embossed buckle on a woman's coat that would only be found in a big city like Xi'an, Huo Dao was very familiar, it was torn off the coat on Shen Ling's body.

"Where did you find it?" asked Huo Dao.

Shi Dan pointed to the road to Dingxiguan and said, "There is --- on the side of the road ahead."

"Dog thief ---" Huo Dao scolded fiercely, basically locked the target, and ordered: "You inform Bao Buji to lead his team to gather around the inside of Xiguan to answer--- you lead the reconnaissance team to sneak in with me."

A few people rode out of the pass, looking at the ghost village not far away that was re-lit by bonfires and lights, and it didn't take much guessing to know that it was occupied by Xu Cao's battalion as a camp and scattered among them.

Huo Dao and a few people tied their horses to the dilapidated grass in those places, and put the wooden spoon mask on their faces, each of them was a pottery cotton coat and long coat, leather boots, and a short gun and a steel knife on their waists, full of bandits, and touched into the village by night.

Huo Dao is very clear that a rough man like Xu Cao who is dyed in the military camp will not have too many tricks to set up camp, and the rules will be extended, and the base camp must be located in the middle of the village, in the largest and most complete ancestral temple, and the relevant soldiers will be arranged in order around it.

The construction of Xiguan Village is to continue the tradition, a Xiguan horse road passes through it, connects the east and west, there are villages in the north and south of the horse road, the south is built according to the ditch with water, at this time the stream is dry and buried has long been swallowed by the yellow sand, Xu Cao will not choose here, and the north side is built by the mountain, layer upon layer, the surface looks at the mountain, it is the loess pile, dilapidated, but it is good to calculate and complete, it is an ideal place to camp and set up.

The village on the north side, in the middle is the ancestral hall of the original village, although it is a kiln courtyard, but half of the courtyard is out of the mountain, there are wells in the courtyard, there are trees, the lights are bright at this time, and there is a burst of laughter when the occasional sound.

Bypassing the sentry posts, climbing the hill and diving beyond the brightest earthen courtyard.

Huo Dao summoned several people and said lightly: "The stone eggs will go in with me, and the rest will be scattered, and they will investigate around, and if they find it, they will contact --- according to the predetermined code."

The order dispersed, and Huo Dao and the stone egg climbed to the top of the courtyard along the broken earth wall one after another, and dived along the roof of the kiln to the side of the hall on the north side.

There is a sentry in the gate of the courtyard, and the two sentries are leaning against the earthen wall and smoking bubbles, pulling their mouths and pulling idle eggs. And the two sentinels on the north and south roofs were the same, simply half-leaning on the roof, sleeping rather than sleeping, chatting and stopping.

The hall on the north side, with three bays, is opened into one hall. Huo Dao and the stone egg went down the earthen platform of the corner to the outside of the hall, and the cat pulled out the crack in the door and looked inward.

By the light of the fire, he saw that Xu Cao, half-leaning on the chair, on a large wooden table, and two people on each side sat beside him, looking as if he had just returned from a big drink.

And in the lower left position, Ding Gui, whose eyes flashed with anger when Huo Dao saw him, saw that he moved closer to Na Xu Cao, and asked, "Battalion commander--- what did County Magistrate Cai say?"

Xu Cao sat up, slapped it angrily, slapped it on the wooden table angrily, and scolded rudely: "it--- he is just an old fox--- gave him three ancient weapons, and he is not satisfied--- his appetite is inevitably too big."

Ding Gui sighed and said, "Battalion commander, on his one-third of an acre, he has to bow his head ---."

"If I hadn't lost half of my brother, I wouldn't have on him, something, insatiable---" Xu Cao was angry.

Ding Gui's eyes flashed, his face twitched, and he smiled and said: "Battalion commander, why don't we come to a Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross the array ---."

Xu Cao stood up and looked at Ding Gui when he heard this, and said, "You have the most ghost ideas, let's talk about ---."

Ding Gui took off his military hat, threw it on the wooden table, combed his hair again, and said with a slippery smile: "The battalion commander--- we are stationed here, but we are just completing the transaction task assigned by the party commander--- and after ten days, the money and goods will be cleared, and we will pat our butts ---and leave."

Xu Cao nodded and replied, "So what?"

Ding Gui said with a smile: "So, in these eight aqueducts, whether they are bandits or swordsmen, what do we have to do? We just want to complete the task of the party commander, and then make up a handful of them from here, and return to Fengxiang to make up a comprehensive reason, and report the loss, then the party commander will not only not blame you, but will also give you a complete supplement."

Xu Cao waved his hand and drank: "To put it lightly, you didn't look at Cai Jiu's poisonous face, a full old fox, he wants to use the name of bandits to reap his benefits for a long time, how can we be allowed to interfere."

"Haha---" Ding Gui sneered, Xu Xu stopped, leaned over and said: "Battalion commander, are you stupid to be drunk by Cai Jiu's poisonous wine, don't we have a good card in our hands?"

Xu Caodun's eyes lit up, leaned over and climbed on Ding Gui's arm and said, "You mean ---" and looked at the east wing outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "That's Huo Dao's mother-in-law--- you haven't seen the history of the swordsman, and you've heard of ---."

Ding Gui smiled again, patted Xu Cao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Battalion commander, you are really stupid, it was done by bandits--- we sent troops to suppress bandits, that Ganquan Village, that Huo Wu still can't give me benefits---."

An officer of the deputy battalion on the side immediately shouted: "Company Commander Ding, you want to play with your tricks again, isn't it enough to cause more than 200 of my brothers to scatter their lives in Meihugou?"

Xu Cao waved his hand and said: "Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, I can't blame Company Commander Ding for the past, he only missed the time of grain and grass, but the Meihugou incident has nothing to ---do with him."

"Battalion commander, what is Ding Gui, don't fall into his trap, and then you will lose your troops and generals, how to give instructions to the party commander if you can't complete the task" Deputy Chen's real name is Chen Musheng, straightforward and straightforward, and he can't see a villain like Ding Gui. The two often have bad friends, and they wanted to stop it, but Nai Na Ding Gui can speak well, and Xu Cao trusts him very much.

Ding Gui didn't even take this Chen Musheng in his eyes, and sneered: "Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, you don't have to give me a damn shout, Battalion Commander Xu didn't speak, is it your turn to yell at me?"

Xu Cao clapped his big hand and shouted: "Okay, they are all brothers in the first battalion, have you quarreled enough? Who can come up with an idea for Lao Tzu to make money, and I will listen to whom."

Chen Musheng was helpless, got up and smashed the water on the table, and then broke the door. Huo Dao hurriedly dodged and lay on the side of the earthen platform.

Fortunately, Chen Mu was sulking, angry, and slammed the door straight to the outside of the courtyard without looking back. When I returned to the window of the hall, I saw that Ding Gui and Xu Cao were still talking there, and I was so happy that I was leaning forward and backward, so I was not excited.

Na Xu Cao got up, straightened his military uniform, showed his splashing gaze, rubbed his hands, swallowed his saliva, and asked again: "Xiao Ding, smashed her open flame ---."

"Haha--- battalion commander is so beautiful, what are you waiting for, when you are happy enough, let my brother and I enjoy it---" Ding Gui put his shoulder on the top of Na Xu Cao, and laughed.

Xu Cao was still a little worried, looked at Ding Gui twice, and asked: "There really won't be a problem--- the name of the head of the knife in the West Mansion of Ganquan Zhai is really not blown out."

Ding Gui pushed Xu Cao towards the door of the house, and said with a smile: "Battalion commander, don't worry, I'll go to the platoon, let my brothers in the company become bandits, and entrenched in Wushan Mountain, you can be a good new man at night, and just wait for the money tomorrow---."

Seeing that the two were about to go out again, Huo Dao hurriedly hid in the grass under the soil platform again.

Xu Cao slammed the door and came out, vaguely heard something, and hurriedly shouted: "Who is it, give me a --- to come out."

Ding Gui, who came out of the rear, smiled at Xu Cao and said, "Battalion commander--- how did you become timid."

Xu Cao looked around, the moon was clear and the breeze was light, there was indeed nothing abnormal, he shook his head and sighed: "I feel that a dark shadow has just flashed--- there are still some noises ---."

Ding Gui didn't believe that outsiders would sneak in at this time, and said with a smile: "Battalion commander, don't scare yourself, in the middle of the night, where birds don't, how can there be anyone, there must be some mountain rat ---."

Xu Cao patted his head, glanced around again, and said with a smile: "Maybe I've thought too much---."

Ding Gui stepped forward and pushed again: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, don't waste it", and strode away, and the original company-level officers in the hall then dispersed. Xu Cao looked around the courtyard again, and then staggered towards the east wing.

At this time, Huo Dao, who was hiding in the haystack, had already guessed a few points, and he was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, and he couldn't wait to unscrew the heads of these people and kick them as balls. But you have to endure it, there is not much controversy about Shen Ling being captured by them, even if it is not Shen Ling, you can't sit back and watch a good girl be harmed by such a beast.
