The night was as thick as ink, the starlight was dotted, shining on this vast grassland like the sea, and the sound of laughter in the distance came ethereally, and the two listened silently, both of them had the intention of indulging.

Li Shuxiu thought to herself: "The two of us are brothers and sisters, what kind of system do we have to get along like this?" Although she thought so in her heart, she was so close to a man for the first time in her life, and she secretly had deep affection for this person in her heart.

Goshawk was not as entangled as her, he was confused, thinking about his own thoughts, whether Li Shuxiu leaned on his shoulder or not, whether this move was in line with etiquette or not, he didn't care at all.

After a long time, Li Shuxiu suddenly heard the sound of ten horses galloping from outside the village, she looked into the distance, and saw a team of knights galloping towards the grassland and the night sky. The first person was Jiuying, and the people behind him didn't know their identities, but looking at their dress, they were all local herdsmen.

When approaching the village, Jiuying slowed down the horse's hooves, slowly paced into the village, saw the goshawk, looked happy, dismounted and said, "Big brother, third sister, I'm back." He glanced at Li Shuxiu again, and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, which showed that she was in a very good mood, and she secretly felt strange, but she didn't ask.

Goshawk asked, "Second brother, who are these friends behind you......"

Jiu Ying said: "They are the brothers of the Crack Gang, and they are the helpers I invited. ”

Li Shuxiu had heard of the name of the Cracks Gang, which was also a big gang on the grassland, but they regarded themselves as thieves, robbed passing merchants in the name of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and opened black shops and liquor shops, killing many travelers. They never robbed the civilians of the village, and their reputation was not bad, but their power was not as good as that of the Vulture Gang and the Broken Bone Gang. I don't know what the Nine Babies have brought them in.

Several people from the Crack Rong Gang walked out and looked at Li Shuxiu, seeing that she was very beautiful, and her face showed a smile, but Jiuying glared at them, these bandits immediately reined, Jiuying clapped his hands and screamed a few times, and the old man Abra next to the bonfire led a few people over, with a kalakala in his arms, holding the clothes sewn with broken bones in his arms.

When the Cracks saw these clothes, they immediately cheered loudly, one of them was named Qidun, the third leader of the Cracks Gang, tall and big, his face was full of vicissitudes, he showed admiration on his face, and said to Jiuying: "King Jiufa, you are really good at it." These clothes are the clothes worn by the subordinates of the Broken Bone Gang's 'Broken Stone Iron Whip' Luo Liuye, these wolf cubs call themselves 'steppe wolves', they are the most powerful team of horse thieves in the Broken Bone Gang, usually arrogant and domineering, rampant in the grassland, enough to compete with the Mongolian elite soldiers, I can't imagine that today it was planted in the hands of the Nine Dharma Kings alone. ”

Jiuying said humbly: "It's just a temporary fluke in the next place, they saw me alone, neglected to take precautions, and was caught off guard by me." ”

Seeing their posture, Goshawk instantly understood, he pulled Jiu Ying aside and asked, "The Crack Rong Gang is also a member of the Ming Sect?"

Jiuying sighed: "The Ming Sect has been unfavorable for a long time, the momentum is declining, the old patriarch died and retreated, and now the leader of this Split Rong Gang is the leader of our Ming Sect, and this Mr. Qidun is our right envoy of light." ”

Goshawk felt strange and said with a smile: "You Mingjiao are only afraid that they are fake, I think these bandits are selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and deliberately tricking you into joining the gang." These seven disciples have strength, but their internal strength and martial arts are far worse than yours. ”

Jiu Ying smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but if God makes people, it is destined that our Ming Sect will have such a decline, so we can only temporarily avoid the Western Regions and do this business of robbing houses." However, although their kung fu is not good, they know where the main altar of Mingjiao is located, and those scriptures and teachings are also memorized, and they are closely connected with many Mingjiao followers in the Central Plains. ”

The goshawk listened to what he said solemnly, and did not know what his idea was. But looking at the demeanor of the Crack Rong Gang, they all respect Jiuying, and almost hold him as a baby. It seems that the Crack Rong Gang is in a predicament, and suddenly encounters such a talented person with strong martial arts and good wisdom, so they are naturally happy and love him doubly.

Goshawk asked, "Are you going to put on the clothes of the Broken Bones and raid the Vulture Gang cottage at night?"

Jiu Ying nodded and said: "Big brother guessed right, I have a cronie in the Vulture Gang, and when the time comes, the inside and outside will definitely be able to succeed." With that, he shouted loudly and let the Rift Gang begin to change into the clothes of the Broken Bone Gang.

The goshawk felt an impulse in his heart, but he felt that his hands were itchy and unstoppable, and blurted out: "Second brother, I will go with you, and I will definitely fight with the vulture gang." ”

Jiu Ying said: "I'm worried about the lack of manpower, there are not many hard hands, if the eldest brother is willing to help, the big thing will be done." ”

As soon as he said that he was going, Li Shuxiu immediately said: "I want to go too, the three of us live and die together, and share happiness and hardship." As he spoke, he stole a glance at the goshawk.

Goshawk and Jiuying said at the same time: "No!"

Li Shuxiu was anxious and asked, "Why not?"

Jiuying said: "Although the third sister is good at kung fu, but after all, she is a woman, and the enemy is neither blind nor deaf, and when she hears your shout, she will naturally be suspicious." If they find out, my hard work will be in vain. ”

Li Shuxiu was speechless, but he was worried about the two of them, and his eyes were full of worry. She had also disguised herself as a man and deceived Rapp and others, but at that time she was so clever in makeup that others thought she was an ordinary teenager, and although her voice was delicate, it was not surprising. At this time, the situation is very different.

Goshawk smiled: "Third sister, don't worry, your eldest brother has gone through the war, and this life is still well kept, not to mention the hundreds of horse thieves here, it is thousands of troops, and I don't care about your eldest brother." You stay in the tent, take care of Sister Zhen, and don't let the women in this village bully her. ”

Jiuying also said: "The eldest brother is so good, I can only be stunned." However, this surprise attack is not to fight with the enemy's life and death, but just a surprise attack and harassment, sowing discord and a strategy, we will not be entangled with the enemy, at that time, we will take advantage of the chaos of the army, we will flee in smoke, and the enemy may not be able to catch up with us. ”

Li Shuxiu said that they couldn't be stubborn, and they looked at them in a daze and changed their clothes, afraid that they would lose these two relatives again, and in desperation, they could only pray to the heavens silently.

The goshawk put on the bandit's clothes, picked up his iron whip again, threw it in his hand a few times, and waved it casually, with a plank and an eye, and the whip technique was quite skillful, no different from the bandit's leader's moves.

Jiu Ying looked surprised and asked, "Big brother, do you know how to make this iron whip?

Goshawk nodded and said: "Our marching people, proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, don't say it's this iron whip, whether it's an axe, a hook and fork, a knife, a gun and a club, I have a good way to dance, and Luo Liu's whip method is not a superior martial art, so it's not easy to learn?"

Jiuying pondered for a moment, saw that everyone was ready, smiled and said goodbye to Li Shuxiu, and with a whistling, everyone urged the reins, the horses neighed, galloped out, and galloped away.

――――

They made a big circle on the grassland, and walked for about half an hour, and came to the top of the mountains, which were gently undulating, and the horses could run freely, but Jiu Ying was extremely careful, and ordered everyone to dismount and lead, through a small forest, to the top of a mountain cliff, and Jiu Ying pointed to the distance and said, "That is the cottage of the vulture village." ”

Goshawks look at each other from afar, under the night moon, only to see that the cottage is built by the mountain, the shape is barbaric, quite imposing, the lights in the village are bright, countless minions are drinking and having fun, there are a few people holding torches on the cottage sentry tower, their eyes are vigilant, and they keep scanning around.

Jiuying said: "The owner of the village lives in the big earthen house in the east, and he is accompanied by three ladies of the village, and he is only afraid that he is greedy for good fortune at the moment." I infiltrated the cottage and killed the owner. Then he set a fire and led the horse thieves after me. Seven right envoys, you and Big Brother Goshawk take the opportunity to sneak into the cottage cellar, move the treasures at will, and then don't stay, the faster you go, the better. All the details will be carried out according to what we have agreed before. ”

Goshawk asked, "Second brother, what kind of blade do you use?"

Jiuying was slightly stunned, seeing the worry in his eyes, knowing that he was thoughtful, he smiled and said, "Big brother is really careful." The biggest flaw in my plan is my sword. I can only wield a sword, and none of the 'steppenwolf' bandits wielded a sword. But the owner of the vulture village is strong in martial arts, if I don't do it myself, others will not be sure. ”

The goshawk jumped up, patted his chest, raised his head and smiled: "Then you can't do it, instead of revealing your traces, how about my brother and me do it for you?"

Jiu Ying thought to himself: "Big brother's swordsmanship is only slightly inferior to me. Although his whipping method is good, he does not know the depth of the fire. The double eagle knife technique of the owner of the Chituo village is very tricky, although it is far away, but it is still famous, which shows the high level of this person's kung fu. If I rush to send my eldest brother there, in case he has three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to my third sister?"

was undecided, and the goshawk hurriedly said: "If I miss this trip, I will come back to see you!"

Jiu Ying was afraid that he would say this, and he was even more worried for a while, but after thinking about it, there was no better way, so he sighed: "Big brother, if you can't defeat him, you must try to get out, if I don't wait for you to come, I will come to pick you up." ”

Goshawk smiled and said, "Do you look down on the ability of the eldest brother? In this case, I have to win." ”

At that moment, the Nine Babies roughly told the goshawk about the appearance of the red, and he took the trouble to describe the location of this person, the surrounding guards, and the customary blades.

The goshawk has been in battle for a long time, and is familiar with this sneak attack and assassination, and after listening to Jiuying's words, he has firmly remembered it, and Jiuying's subsequent advice is quite nagging. He straightened his clothes, blackened his cheeks, took out his long whip, and took advantage of the dark clouds to cover the moon, and ran quietly down the slope from the cliff.

Jiuying crouched on the cliff, and saw the goshawk from a distance, agile and fast, although the light skills were not in order, but he was more alert than ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, he was good at using the surrounding cover, fluttering and rolling, jumping low and lying down, flexible like a wild cat. The sentry of the vulture village was alert, but he was unaware of the infiltration.

After a while, a night wind blew and the trees rattled around him, and the goshawk took the opportunity to throw its hook and claw, put it on the wooden wall, and climbed over the wall in three steps, and disappeared.
