Qiu Dabao searched for the keys on the bandits' bodies and opened the prison door, Su Jin and the three of them were finally free, and the prisoners in several other cells were also alarmed.

Su Jin walked over and said: "Don't be impatient, although I don't know why you were imprisoned by the bandits, but as long as you keep quiet and stay quiet, I promise to rescue you from the cage, but if anyone is disobedient and shouts nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

When the prisoners heard this, they knelt down and thanked them, and everyone's hope of getting out was pinned on Su Jin and the others.

Qiu Dabao crossed his hands and said, "What now?" Don't tell me I haven't figured it out yet. ”

Su Jin said: "Don't worry, I have my own ideas, but I have to dispose of these corpses first, in case someone comes, wouldn't it be bad." ”

Su Jin ordered Dynasty Mahan to strip off the clothes of the three bandits, carry the corpses to the cell where he lived and stuff them tightly in the quilt, and then changed the bandits' clothes and accessories with Dynasty Mahan, scraped off the blood stains on the ground with a knife, cleaned up the blood mud to the corner of the wall, and everything was in order, and then sat on the stool and took a breath.

"Brother Qiu, now let's talk about how to turn this cottage upside down."

Qiu Dabao sat down speechlessly, and at this time, he felt more and more scared, this matter was simply too difficult, but looking at Su Jin's appearance, he seemed to be confident, no matter what, he could only rely on the young man in front of him.

"Brother Qiu, there are brothers you have befriended in this cottage, the kind that is desperate for you, and those who are polite on the surface can be excluded."

"Are you a good brother? This is not much, Chen Laosi at the first checkpoint under the mountain is very good to me, when he made a mistake, I pleaded for him in front of the big boss to exempt him from punishment, and I have always respected me. ”

Su Jin frowned and said: "Brother Qiu, I'm not guessing riddles with you, okay is okay, if you can't do it, don't count it in, once you turn against the water, you and I will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Qiu Dabao thought for a while and said: "Absolutely, this person once told me that he would go to other places to settle down, but I dissuaded him, and it can be seen that he is at my heart." ”

Su Jin said: "Okay, how many people can he mobilize?" ”

Qiu Dabao said: "There are quite a few people at the first checkpoint, but in addition to Chen Laosi, there is also a small leader stationed there, and Chen Laosi has only more than 40 people. ”

Su Jindao: "How many people are there?" ”

"About one hundred and twenty."

Su Jin asked again: "Do you have anyone available on hand?" ”

Qiu Dabao said: "To tell you the truth, I only have seven or eight relatives on hand, Shen Yaozu has always been wary of me, and I have no real power." ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "I guessed that this was the case, but the number of people is enough." ”

Qiu Dabao said in surprise: "Enough? Are you trying to use dozens of us against more than 800 people in the cottage? ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is just part of the plan, my plan is - inside and outside, tomorrow morning, you will go down the mountain like this and this, and then when the opportunity comes, we will be like this and this, and when the opportunity comes, we will be like this and this, and when we go to that thing, we will make dumplings in one fell swoop." ”

Qiu Dabao pondered: "The plan is good, but I'm afraid of stubble." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "At this time, why are you still afraid of wolves and tigers? ”

Qiu Dabao suddenly said: "Okay, it's done, but I have a request." ”

Su Jin said: "Please speak." ”

"I want you to give me that gold medal for self-defense, I'm still worried that you will cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Su Jin said: "You can't take the gold medal, this gold medal is a gift from the emperor, and if I lose it, I will lose my head." ”

Qiu Dabao said: "I will do it with you with my head, and you will also take the risk, otherwise this matter will be stopped, and the left and right will be dead, why should I be a villain in vain and leave a reputation as a thief." ”

Su Jin said: "Why can't you trust me? ”

Qiu Dabao said: "I believe in people, but I have never received a good reward, Zhu Shiyong, Tang Jiyuan, Shen Yaozu, although I can't say that I am loyal to them, but I have never had two hearts, what will happen in the end?" Everyone is suspicious of me, and some of them want to kill me, so I have to guard against it. ”

Su Jinda frowned, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll hand it over to you for safekeeping, but you must not lose it, otherwise you and my heads will have to be moved." ”

Qiu Dabao said: "I can't lose it if I lose my life, once your promise is fulfilled, I will return him to you and kowtow to you to apologize." ”

Su Jin handed the gold medal to Qiu Dabao without saying a word, reached out and took a stack of yellow paper on the side of the table, dipped a pen in ink and wrote a few lines of words to Qiu Dabao and handed it to Qiu Dabao and said: "I'll go to do things tomorrow, it's up to you for the time being, the three of us can't show up, we can only stay here and wait for your news." ”

Qiu Dabao stretched out his hand to take it, stuffed it in the pocket of his shirt, and went out of the door.

……

In the early hours of the morning, the sky has just shown a blue and white color, and in the winter morning, the cold air is close to the bone marrow, and the cold people just want to scold their mothers.

The pass was densely packed with bandits with shrunken heads, and they were woken up early in the morning by the noise of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, the men in the large camp of officers and soldiers under the mountain were neighing and barking, and they were preparing for battle.

The bandits cursed fiercely these officers and soldiers who did not let people live in peace, every day they knew that they would shoot indiscriminately with arrows, and they did not dare to attack, but they could not ignore it, because once they relaxed their vigilance, their cavalry team would be able to break through the mountain pass in one fell swoop, although there were still several checkpoints on it, and the war horses could not go up at all, but once the pass was broken, it was not necessarily possible to escape for their lives, and the mountain roads were crowded, and it was not easy to withdraw to the checkpoint at the first time.

In view of this, Shen Yaozu ordered to defend the pass, and on the mountain beams on both sides of the pass, the bandits on several arrow towers shrank their necks in the cold wind and stared at the bottom of the mountain, not daring to slack off a little.

The morning sun dispelled the mist, the officers and soldiers came to the pass 400 paces away as the previous two days to stand still, while shouting and scolding, while shooting indiscriminately at the pass with scattered arrows, the officers and soldiers were well-equipped, this bow and arrow are also bull tendon strong bows, the number is much more than the bandits, such a strong bow can shoot 300 to 400 steps away, fortunately the officers and soldiers are not in a favorable terrain, the angle of a slight upward shot greatly reduces the range, otherwise the bandits are afraid that they are all within the shroud of the bow and arrow.

However, the officers and soldiers did not dare to get too close, although the bandits did not have many strong bows, but even ordinary bows and arrows, condescending shooting can reach a range of more than 300 steps, and there are dozens of strong bows that can directly shoot arrows into the formation of officers and soldiers, so occasionally officers and soldiers are shot by arrows, causing a big uproar among the bandits.

Qiu Dabao stood at the top of an arrow tower in front, holding a Zhemu longbow in his hand, twisting a bamboo arrow in his hand, and the two bandits around him said excitedly: "The second master, open our eyes, I have heard for a long time that the archery skills of the second master are exquisite, and shoot an officer and soldier pig for us to see." ”

Qiu Dabao smiled and said, "Do you want to see it?" ”

The bandits nodded like pounding garlic, Qiu Dabao put on the arrow, pulled the bowstring, only to hear the sound of Weng, the arrow crossed the air, drew a perfect arc in the chest of a general on horseback of the enemy, the bandits up and down the arrow tower saw the truth, and shouted happily, but to the surprise, the general did not fall off the horse, just covered his chest and coughed twice, stretched out his hand and pulled the arrow down, and threw his hands to the side.

"Damn, the bamboo can't penetrate the armor, you go down and get me a bundle of iron-tipped arrows." Qiu Dabao scolded.

One of the bandits agreed and quickly climbed down the ladder, the other bandit did not move, Qiu Dabao said: "You also go to help, the iron head arrow is very heavy, he can't carry a bundle alone." ”

The bandit had no choice but to turn around and go down the bamboo ladder down the arrow tower; Qiu Dabao looked left and right, shrunk his body, so that the bandits below could not see him, reached out and took an arrow, snapped the arrow off, quickly took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, wrapped it on the shaft of the arrow, and tied it tightly with a thin thread.

Qiu Dabao did not hesitate, bent his bow and arrow, used all his strength, and shot an arrow; The arrow whined, and struck the belly of a war horse, and the war horse neighed sadly, and the man stood up and lifted the man off the horse.

The bandits applauded again and again, and Shen Yaozu, who was standing in the distance, nodded secretly, and said with a smile: "The mind of the second master is inspired, and he knows that he can't shoot the armor, so he shoots the horse instead, isn't it just that the thief captures the king first, and the man shoots the horse first." ”

The bandits around him shouted: "Good poetry, good poetry." The all-round talent of the big boss can be called the brightness of Zhuge and the length of Guan Yun. ”

Shen Yaozu scolded with a smile: "A bunch of dirt buns, return the schoolbag, how can there be Zhuge Zhiliang Guan Yun's long statement." ”

As he spoke, he saw that the horse fell to the ground with a bang, struggling to get up, and several officers and soldiers surrounded him and didn't know what the hell was going on, and soon after, the officers and soldiers suddenly sounded the gong and closed the team, and they all returned to the camp, making Shen Yaozu and others roll their eyes.

On the arrow tower, Qiu Dabao, who was aiming left and right with an iron arrow, spat and said, "Bad luck, what kind of fame." ”

"I must be afraid of the second master's arrow." A bandit said.

"It must be so, count them as acquaintances, otherwise it's strange if the two masters don't kill two birds with one stone." Another bandit also said.
