When Zhao Yanhao and the four of them returned to the base camp, it was already midnight. The four of them were hungry and thirsty, so they ate some supper at the moment, and then drank tea and discussed in the Chinese military tent.

"If this kind of secret investigation has no effect, we have to find another way. Zhao Yanhao got straight to the point.

"Early tomorrow morning, go up the mountain and let them make friends!" Zhai Dacheng still insisted on his opinion.

"The relationship between the head of Qingxia and Nangong Fu, you don't know it. Zhao Yanhao sighed lightly: "Since people are willing to take them in, how can they be easily handed over?"

"His grandmother's, toast and don't eat and drink! Annoy us, just bulldoze it Hengshan!" Lu Nanshan snorted angrily.

Zhao Yanhao glanced at him, put down the tea bowl, and said slowly: "According to the precepts of your Beizhen Fusi, can you do this?"

Lu Nanshan lowered his head and argued softly: "I don't believe it: raze it Hengshan, and no one can be found!"

Zhai Dacheng smiled: "I still think that Brother Lu makes sense when he says this method." ”

"But, have you thought about it?" Zhao Yanhao said in a deep voice: "There are so many temples and houses in Hengshan, and it is really enough to find them...... Besides, we are not familiar with other people's territory, who knows, is there a secret passage, basement or anything like that?"

Shao Feng bowed his head and said, "Brother Zhao is right!"

"Hmph, dig three more feet, I can't find it if I don't believe it!" Lu Nanshan has to inch in.

Zhao Yanhao's expression was solemn, staring at his eyes and said, "Brother Lu, do you mean to say: Destroy the entire Hengshan faction?"

Lu Nanshan didn't dare to look at him, turned his head and muttered: "Who made them dare to harbor the ...... criminals"

Shao Feng thought for a while and said, "Nanshan, even if we really do this, we may not be able to find people...... In fact, people can not hide people in those temples; Heng Mountain is so big, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and there are mountains, jungles, and caves everywhere...... Wherever you hide, how do you find it?"

Lu Nanshan scratched his head, frowned, and said, "This ...... That's a real nuisance......"

Everyone looked solemn and fell silent for a while.

"Brother Zhao, have you thought of any way?" Shao Feng suddenly broke the dullness.

Zhao Yanhao shook his head, stared at him, and asked if he felt something: "Brother Shao, do you have any good ideas?"

"That's what I think, Brother Zhao, see if it's feasible. Shao Feng said: "First of all, let's follow Brother Zhai's method." ——This method seems to be 'striking the grass and scaring the snake', but in fact it is 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger'—— tomorrow morning, we will go directly to the mountain and force Qingxia to be in charge." Of course, she would definitely deny it. However, it doesn't matter, the purpose of this is just to give her a disadvantage, and at the same time, to see how she reacts......"

Zhao Yanhao nodded while listening, and suddenly said: "The head of Qingxia is calm and sophisticated, I'm afraid, I won't show any flaws." ”

"I wasn't expecting to be able to determine where the prisoner was hiding, but to see how she reacted. Shao Feng continued: "If she denies it, we will propose to search all temples and houses. Most of her disciples refused to agree, but Qingxia was a clear person and should not dare to stop her......

"Although the junior brother's martial arts are poor, he can observe and guess people, and he still has a hand. Shao Feng smiled modestly, "During the search, I will pay attention to her expression and behavior, if she is fearless, it means that those temples have secret passages or basements, or people are not in those temples at all." ...... We couldn't find anyone, so we had to return in vain! This is the first step. ”

"The second step is to turn against the customer and put on a posture of 'closing the door and catching the thief'......"

"Oh, shut the door and catch the thief?...... What kind of 'closed-door' method?" Lu Nanshan interjected with interest.

Shao Feng took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Send people to surround Hengshan—— it is best to borrow some soldiers and horses from Hunyuan Mansion,—— and monitor their movements at all times, and also harass them from time to time - and then search and search." Of course, they will know about our surveillance, and even if they don't, we have to deliberately let them know about ......it."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Yanhao, and saw that he was listening attentively, and showed a look of approval, and was slightly proud in his heart, and continued: "They must be very nervous if they harbor important criminals, and we are monitoring so closely all the time, can the head of Qingxia not worry about revealing flaws for a long time, or if there are many people talking and saying that they have leaked their mouths?......"

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Zhao Yanhao shook his head again and again, thought for a while, and said: "It's just that in this way, time will inevitably drag on for a long time......"

"What does it matter! We're not playful, but to catch the criminals...... Shao Feng said with a half-joking smile: "Although it is inevitable that there will be some more expenses, it will not be that Master Miao will not reimburse us, let us post it ourselves......!"

The crowd laughed too.

Shao Feng put away his smile and continued to analyze: "In such a situation, what will the head of Qingxia do?...... I think she'll find a way to get people away quietly just to be safe......"

"You mean to say: transfer out of Heng Mountain?" Zhao Yanhao confirmed to him.

"Exactly. Shao Feng nodded, "Only in this way is it the safest." Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Yanhao nodded thoughtfully.

"At that point, our chance will come. Shao Feng took another sip of tea and wiped his mouth with his hand, "Next, it is naturally the third step,—— which is also our real purpose——, to get it a 'want to indulge' plan......"

Everyone looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

"Of course, the scope of our surveillance must cover almost all the checkpoints and key roads, but we also have to deliberately leave one or two places that the head of Qingxia thinks are negligent, so that there is a chance for them to slip ......away."

Zhao Yanhao clapped his hands and said: "Okay, you Shao Feng! What a trick to 'want to capture the old indulgence'! I think, just do it!"

Shao Feng was smug and smiled: "Brother Zhai, Brother Zhan, what do you think?"

Zhai and Zhan both agreed.

"That's good!" Shao Feng was a little concluded: "Early tomorrow morning, let's carry out the first step of the plan." ...... I proposed that Brother Zhao didn't have to go in person, and that Brother Zhai, Brother Zhan, and I would lead everyone up the mountain. Brother Zhao, is this feasible?"

Zhao Yanhao knew what he meant, because Hengshan and Shaolin had always been good friends, so this arrangement avoided the embarrassment when he met with the head of Qingxia, so he happily said: "This is the best." ”

※※※

The development of things was similar to what Shao Feng expected.

On the third day after they went up the mountain to search, Mrs. Qinglu couldn't sit still:

"Senior Sister Boss, those hateful eagle dogs, they came to search again today!"

"Got it. Master Qingxia said lightly: "Isn't this good?

"But...... It's so annoying to keep people uneasy like this!"

"What's the solution?...... As long as you can't find anyone, what are you afraid of?...... By the way, did they interrogate?"

"Of course, I specially selected those disciples who had nothing to do but ask! Fortunately, they all listened to the greetings and were sensible, and no one said anything nonsense. ”

"That's good! That's good!" Master Qingxia pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they still snooped on halfway up the mountain all the time?"

"Yes. They also went to Hunyuan Mansion to transfer a lot of officers and soldiers, and the mountain was full of their people, surrounding our Tianfeng Ridge......"

"Oh?...... This is a troublesome matter!" Master Qingxia frowned and groaned for a long time, and waved his hand: "Got it, you go and get busy with yours!"

A few days later, Mrs. Qinglu complained again:

“...... It is also said that the grotto of Sunset Ridge is an excellent place, who would have thought that it is dark and damp, and there are ants and mosquitoes everywhere that can knock people down...... Pity our young master Nangong, how could he have suffered such a crime?...... Senior sister in charge, haven't you seen it in person, the two young masters were bitten by ants and itched, and they were covered with red bumps stared at by mosquitoes...... Alas, it's so distressing to watch!"

Master Qingxia said lightly: "Young man, what is it if you suffer a little hardship and suffer a little grievance?...... It's good for them!"

Mrs. Qinglu still chattered: "It's nothing, the most pitiful thing is: they can't eat at all! To be exact, they can't eat at all! One day, dry food, two days, dry food, three days, still dry food...... Now they're looking at the dry food and want to vomit......"

"Didn't you let them cook for themselves?" Qingxia was a little displeased.

"First, they won't do it at all, and second, the young master of Nangong is worried that there will be smoke coming out of cooking when cooking, for fear of attracting the enemy's ......."

"Yes. Fu'er is thoughtful, but she can't cook...... Even if they did, they would have to wait until the evening before the enemy could see the smoke. ”

Master Qinglu hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't control his mouth: "Senior Sister in charge, speaking of which, there is a dangerous incident that happened today! I saw that the two young masters were pitifully hungry, so I personally cooked a meal and arranged for Miaoru to send it to ......."

"What?!" Qingxia Shitai's face changed sharply, and she stood up suddenly, and said, "Who told you to do this?...... Bold!"

Master Qinglu was so frightened that she said, "Yes...... It's me!...... Senior sister, they are so pitiful, I ...... I can't help it......"

Mrs. Qingxia finally calmed down the anger in her chest, slowly sat down, and asked with a grimace, "Have you been discovered?"

"Nope. Master Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior Sister in charge, you know, this child is as well-behaved and alert as ......she is! When I came back, I saw that her hands were pierced with thorns and scraped with stones...... Alas, it's really pitying......"

"Remember: you are not allowed to deliver food in the future!" Qingxia interrupted, staring into her eyes with a solemn expression.

"Yes. Master Qinglu lowered her head.

"What is the situation at Yamashita today?"

"The same old way. Master Qinglu shook her head, "It's still the same posture that if you don't find anyone, you won't give up." There are eyeliner at the checkpoints and main roads everywhere, and dozens of people are arranged, and they have to go around all day and night......"

"How many of them are there?"

"Uh...... There were about 300 of them. ”

Qingxia Shitai nodded, thoughtfully, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said in a deep voice: "Poor Ni doesn't believe it, the huge Heng Mountain, with only three hundred people, can all be monitored!"

"Senior Sister Head, what do you mean ......?"

"Hmph, isn't there a place where their eyeliner is overlooked?"

"This ...... I didn't pay attention to it. Master Qinglu scratched her head, suddenly came to her senses, and said solemnly: "Senior sister in charge, I will pay attention to this problem!"

Master Qingxia nodded and advised, "Be careful, don't let them see our intentions!"

Mrs. Qinglu agreed and turned around and walked out, but Mrs. Qingxia suddenly stopped her: "Senior sister, that Zhao Yanhao, what are you doing these days?"

"According to the observation of the disciple who went down the mountain to buy flour, in the morning, he likes to go to a small noodle restaurant in the town to eat noodles, and after eating, he will drink tea in a teahouse next to him, and the rest of the time, he usually stays in the tent. ”

"Has he ever been to the mountains?"

"Nope. Master Qinglu shook his head firmly, and explained for Zhao Yanhao: "You know, perhaps, because you are afraid of meeting you, Senior Sister, and it will be embarrassing." ”

"Maybe. Master Qingxia smiled and asked, "How does he look like his complexion?"

According to them, he looked a little contradictory, and sometimes sighed, and looked like he was going to stay and not decided. ”

"Got it. Mrs. Qingxia waved her hand: "Pay more attention to his movements!

In the evening, Master Qinglu rushed to the meditation bed where Master Qingxia was meditating and reported: "Senior Sister in charge, you really expected it! According to careful observation, there are at least two places where the enemy is negligent!"

"Oh?" Qingxia opened his eyes so violently that he asked eagerly, "Which two?"

"One is in Zizhiyu, and the other is in Cuiping Peak. Qinglu Shi Tai explained: "There is a ditch in Zizhiyu, and the grass and trees are very lush, and it is difficult to find when you pass through. After that, we entered the jungle, which stretched to the village of Qujiawan at the foot of the mountain. Because this road has to go down from the cliff to the deep valley, it seems impossible at first glance, so it is very hidden, and Qujiawan is too remote, so the enemy has not yet discovered it, and there is no eyeliner. ...... As for Cuiping Peak, at the foot of the southeast mountain, there is a clump of rocks, which just blocks the enemy's line of sight, and you can pass on the plank road of Jinlong Gorge...... Senior sister in charge, only these two places have been discovered for the time being. ”

Mrs. Qingxia listened intently as she nodded slowly.

"That'...... Which one should I choose?"

Master Qingxia pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Zizhiyu." ”
