Chapter 255: Tiger's Den (3/5)
In Zhidong Village, there were more than 200 resident horse thieves, and after the tragic battle with Xiao Suifeng, although there was a river of blood, there were still more than 100 people left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition, the horse thieves in the other six villages all went out to loot from this, so there are more horse thieves who stop in the Zhidong Village.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong hid in a valley not far behind Zhidong Village, staring at the movements of the horse thieves in Zhidong Village.
The purpose of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong is naturally to find out the news, confirm the location of the six stockades, and find the hiding place of the black fox. It's just that this thing is naturally not so simple to do, and if you want to find useful information, you also need a strategy.
After three days of lurking and secretly chasing after themselves, the remaining locations of the Cold Autumn Village and the Poisonous Cicada Village, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong, were finally confirmed.
As Xiao Suifeng and Linglong expected, among the horse thieves who went out to rob from Zhidong Village, there were naturally those two horse thieves from the stockade, and after Xiao Suifeng and Linglong identified them, they were naturally able to find the location of the stockade.
Speaking of which, the horse thieves under the black fox are already alert, but Linglong's best thing is stealth tracking, and although Xiao Suifeng is not good at this, his martial arts are superb, and his light skills are not weak.
The locations of the six stockades are all confirmed, so the next step is to confirm the location of the black fox, but this is a bit troublesome.
The whereabouts of the black fox are secret, and the hiding place can only be known by a few henchmen, and the vast majority of horse thieves also do not know the traces of the black fox. Therefore, even if the black fox is hidden in a certain stockade, maybe the horse thieves in the stockade themselves don't know, so it is indeed a little difficult to find a breakthrough from the horse thieves.
However, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are both wise people, but they just let them see the problem in Zhidong Village, which seems to have no flaws and no breakthroughs.
The two of them stared at the outside of Zhidong Village for a total of seven days, and in the seven days, the focus of Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's attention a few days ago was on the location of the Cold Autumn Village and the Poisonous Cicada Village, so they didn't seem to notice some details of these horse thieves.
However, as the location of the two stockades was determined, when Xiao Suifeng and Linglong began to want to explore the location of the black fox, they finally saw some clues.
As I said before, the seven villages, including Zhidong Village, the horse thieves in them all take turns to go out to loot activities, although there is no clear order from the black fox, but for the fairness and balance of the horse thieves in the seven villages, it has long been agreed that they will take turns to rob.
This is not Xiao Suifeng and Linglong's own random conjecture, but the confirmed information obtained from the horse thieves after restraining a few horse thieves.
If you want to get information, it's not enough to just look with your eyes, you have to deal with those horse thieves. Moreover, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong also knew that the black fox should know that they were still in the Broken Forest Mountain, and they would definitely not relax their vigilance, so they were not afraid of exposing their tracks and startling the snake.
The two of them obtained information from the horse thief, and confirmed each other's previous suspicions.
But although the two of them were right, and the horse thief also explained, but after Xiao Suifeng and Linglong silently watched outside Zhidong Village for a few days, they found that the situation seemed to be a little different.
In general, the rules of the horse thieves in these seven stockades to go out to rob have not been broken, and they still take turns to go out of the mountain, but in terms of details, there are some problems.
The careful Linglong was the first to find that the village that should have been calculated to be going out to loot is always unexpected, just like today, it should be the people of the two villages of Qishanzhai and Poison Cicada Village who went out of the mountain to loot, but in the end there were only horse thieves from the Poison Cicada Village, and the people of Qishanzhai were gone.
After all, this is just a convention, not a superficial rule, so it is normal to occasionally omission.
But at this point in time, such a thing is somewhat attention-grabbing.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong made an inference at the moment.
I just heard Linglong say," No matter which stockade the black fox is hiding in, even if the horse thief in the stockade does not know that the black fox is in the stockade where he is, but as far as the black fox itself is concerned, he will definitely not let himself be in a state of no protection or weak defense, so the black fox in that stockade, the horse thief in the stockade, should not be transferred out, and even if he still wants to go out to rob, he will definitely command a small part of it, and most of them will still stay in the stockade to protect the black fox. ”
Xiao Suifeng nodded silently, he also thought of this idea.
Just like at this moment, the stockade of the banner cottage should have sent horse thieves out of the mountain, but it didn't at this moment, it is very likely that the black fox is in the banner cottage at this moment.
"Of course, among the seven villages at the moment, the horse thieves are all in the village, and there is not only one Qishanzhai, but also the Lion Village, Jifeng Village and the Hanqiu Village, but the Qishanzhai should have been out, but at this moment, no one was sent, which is obviously the most likely. Linglong said categorically, and looked at Xiao Suifeng with burning eyes.
Xiao Suifeng nodded lightly, already having a decision.
It's not a way to keep waiting, and although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong have already touched this possible rule, the whereabouts of the black fox have been unpredictable, so even if Xiao Suifeng and Linglong lie outside this Zhidong Village for ten days and a half months, they may not be able to confirm the location of the black fox.
At the moment, although it is still not certain that the black fox must be in the flag cottage, there is a possibility that it is at least more than fifty percent.
For the people of the rivers and lakes, two or three percent of the chance of winning is enough to take risks, not to mention, at the moment, there is at least a fifty percent chance of success?
Xiao Suifeng also made a single decision, "It's okay, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, the black fox is there or not, go to Qishanzhai to find out." ”
When Linglong heard this, her eyes also lit up, and she nodded slightly excitedly, "It's just morning at the moment, the distance of the flag cottage is not far, half a day is enough time to rush over, if you are lucky, the black fox may not have time to transfer, it is an opportunity!"
Linglong also agreed, the two agreed on the same opinion, and they didn't say a word at the moment, but rushed directly to the location of the flag cottage.
Qishanzhai is naturally hidden in the deep forest, which is difficult for ordinary people to find. And this flag cottage is not particularly far from the location of Zhidong Village, Linglong said that half a day is enough to rush, in fact, it is still calculated by the foot strength of ordinary horse thieves, Xiao Suifeng and the two are martial artists, and the light skills are outstanding, even if they are not going all out, as long as they show a little light power, the speed is far more than ordinary people, so, half a day of mountain road, the two of them just used more than an hour, they felt the outside of the flag cottage.
The location of Qishanzhai is very special, it is on a cliff halfway through a deep valley.
This deep valley is not the valley behind the Nazhidong Village where Xiao Suifeng and Linglong were lying before, but a real deep valley, which seems to be a naturally formed rift valley, at least hundreds of zhang deep and dozens of zhang wide.
On the side of the valley, there is a wide platform on the cliff, and inside the platform is a huge cave that can accommodate thousands of people. The location of the flag cottage is in this cave, the location is not only hidden, but also extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, from the cliff there is only one of the widest places is less than a zhang, and the narrowest place is only a person's width of the sheep intestine mountain road to go down, it can be said that it is extremely dangerous.
Such a position, don't say that it can't be easily discovered, even if it is discovered, with this steep mountain road, no matter how many troops there are, it will not be useful and difficult to break.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong came to the cliff where the flag cottage was located, looking at the sheep intestine path and the platform halfway up the cliff, and at the same time, they vaguely understood why the black fox was most likely hiding in this flag cottage.
The seven villages under the black fox had an accident in Zhidong Village, and the locations of the remaining six villages were hidden very secretly, but such as Qishan Village, it was also rare.
Such a stockade, as long as enough food and water is stored, even if a large army comes to besiege it, it is helpless.
For the people of the rivers and lakes, although it is better, whether it is to infiltrate or break through this flag cottage, it is also a great risk, and the possibility of success is extremely slim.
Of course, this village is a very dangerous place for Xiao Suifeng and Linglong. But fortunately, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong didn't want to break through this village, they just wanted to sneak in with the skill of disguise, although the difficulty was still not small, but the possibility was not at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was fortunate to have Linglong's help, and if he was assisted by the art of disguise, although it was difficult to sneak in, the possibility of success was also much greater. If there is no Linglong's help, even Xiao Suifeng himself can find this flag cottage, and confirm that he and the black fox are in this village, I am afraid that there is no way.
In the end, you can only wait outside this valley in vain, or you can just break in.
Naturally, I don't know when I can wait for the black fox to come out, but if it is really hard to break through, then I am afraid that the ending will only be nine deaths.
Thinking silently in his heart, he saw that Linglong had already taken out the two clothes that had been prepared from the baggage he was carrying, and handed a set to Xiao Suifeng, which was the only way to say seriously, "This flag cottage is the most steep among the seven villages under the black fox, and if you want to sneak into the village, there is only one path." According to the information I received from the horse thief before, the narrowest and most important positions on this mountain road are guarded by horse thieves, and the original guard is strict, but now if the black fox is in this flag cottage, the guard must be a little tighter. ”
After a pause, I saw that Linglong frowned slightly, as if she had thought of something, and couldn't help but pause before continuing, "Brother Xiao, if the black fox is really in this flag cottage, it won't be in a hurry." Although the terrain of this banner cottage is steep, but because of this, there is only one way in and out, Brother Xiao, I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if Brother Xiao can guess it?"
Xiao Suifeng originally just wanted to sneak into the cottage and find the black fox, but revenge was secondary, mainly to ask for the news of Shen Lun. But seeing that the terrain of this flag cottage is steep, and the rash action can be said to be the only ending of nine deaths and one life, so his mind can't help but calm down.
Xiao Suifeng is naturally not afraid of death, but if he is not in a desperate situation, he will not be so reckless that he will go forward to die knowing that he can't do anything. Moreover, at this moment, Xiao Suifeng is not alone, there is also a delicate existence by his side, and it is impossible for Xiao Suifeng to risk the life of a person who is dedicated to helping him.
Xiao Suifeng, who calmed down, was not weak in wisdom, and when he heard Linglong say this, he thought that Linglong must have something better than just diving in, and he couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Although Xiao Suifeng's mind was not as delicate as Linglong's, his reaction was not bad, and after only a little contemplation, he thought of Linglong's possible thoughts, and couldn't help but say, "You mean, stay at the entrance to the Qishan Cottage?"
Linglong suddenly laughed, "Brother Xiao's reaction is really fast, what do you think of this idea?"
Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but think silently again, half loud, and couldn't help nodding lightly.
With the help of Linglong's disguise stealth technique, it is not impossible to sneak along this mountain road, but even if Linglong's disguise and camouflage technique is masterful, the steepness of this terrain is destined to take great risks.
At present, the most dangerous thing about this cottage is not the cottage, but the road that enters the cottage and is attached to the cliff.
This is not the kind of open environment in Zhidongzhai, the situation is not good, you can retreat first, if you walk on this halfway and someone recognizes your identity, then it is not nine deaths and one life, I am afraid that there is really death and no life.
And although Linglong's camouflage is clever, but camouflage is camouflage after all, and it can't be true, especially as Linglong said just now, in this narrow and dangerous mountain road, there are horse thieves guarding the key points, which is a difficult level.
If all the people guarding the gate knew about the horse thieves in the stockade, then I am afraid that they would be exposed as soon as they appeared. And this is not an impossible thing, after all, although there are one or two thousand horse thieves under the black fox, but in this flag cottage, there are only more than two hundred horse thieves.
Moreover, the average horse thief in the cottage may not recognize all the people, but the person guarding the gate is precisely the one who is most likely to recognize everyone, after all, his duty is to need him to identify everyone.
And to take a step back, even if the people guarding the customs don't know everyone, if they need something like a customs clearance password or token to pass the customs, it is also a troublesome thing for Xiao Suifeng and Linglong.
Therefore, it is risky to sneak in, but it is better to wait for the rabbit and come appropriately. (To be continued.) )
