When Qin Xiao took action, Dapeng, who had already touched the hidden whistle, immediately led his men to take action.

In fact, the sentinels at the secret sentry are not as alert as imagined. It is late at night, when people are most likely to get sleepy.

Hiding in a pit for a long time makes me always sleepy.

Moreover, the sentry felt that it was impossible for anyone to actually come up the mountain in the middle of the night.

When Qin Xiao took action, the two people in the pit hadn't noticed it immediately, but Dapeng had already led people to jump into the pit, and they and the grass fell down. Before the people inside could scream, the blade

The throats of the two sentries were cut cleanly.

Qin Xiao killed the sentry and brought him to the ground. Yuwen Chengchao saw that Qin Xiao acted decisively and decisively, with a courage that was not consistent with his age. There was a look of appreciation in his eyes. At this time, Dapeng had already brought people over quickly and whispered.

He said, "Eldest Young Master, take care of the two people over there."

Clearing the sentry post went more smoothly than expected.

Yuwen Chengchao's originally solemn expression softened a little, and he asked Chen Zhitai in a low voice, "Will anyone come over here at night?"

"No." Chen Zhitai knew very well that he helped Yu Wen Chengchao get rid of the sentry, and he couldn't look back. He thought that this matter was over, so he might as well be more proactive and increase the eldest son's favor for him, so that he would not have to worry about it in the future.

Without a future, he explained, "Usually, at midday every day, as soon as it gets dark, the suspension bridge will not be lowered. People will not be sent to change the guard until after midday the next day."

"In other words, these corpses will not be discovered before tomorrow morning?"

"Exactly." Chen Zhitai said with certainty, "It will never be discovered."

Yuwen Chengchao did not hesitate and whispered, "Let's go to the northeast corner."

Chen Zhitai still led the way. With experience, he still followed the same method this time. When they arrived at the northeast corner, Dapeng led people to crawl on the ground and touch them. Here, Chen Zhitai diverted the attention of the men. When Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao took action, Dapeng took action.

Peng also took action quickly.

In just this moment, the two sentry posts had been cleared.

Yuwen Chengchao didn't know whether Pangyu's side succeeded successfully, but he never heard any sound, which proved that at least there was no exposure on that side.

According to the prior agreement, Yuwen Chengchao and others, led by Chen Zhitai, headed south. When they were about to leave the woods, they vaguely saw firelight in the distance. But at this time, they could see clearly that there was a cliff not far ahead.

There is no direct passage to the back mountain on the opposite side, and there is a deep valley in the middle.

This deep valley is not too wide. There is a fire on the opposite side. Looking over it from a distance, you can see a high suspension bridge. Unless the suspension bridge is lowered from the opposite side, there is no way to cross it.

The back mountain of Jigong Gorge looks majestic and steep. Compared with the back mountain, the front mountain is just like a small hillside.

"Master Chen, I told you before that I want you to draw a picture and do one thing for me." Yuwen Chengchao patted Chen Zhitai's shoulder and said in a low voice with a smile, "You have already drawn that map, so you don't deserve the credit."

Xiao, as for what you are asked to do, it is actually very simple." He raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side, "You have to find a way to lower this suspension bridge, and then take us across the bridge."

Chen Zhitai touched his head and said, "Young Master, I took you up the mountain and helped you clear the sentry post. Isn't this considered a favor for you?"

"Of course it counts." Yu Wen Chengchao whispered, "But that's just your contribution to saving your life. Let me tell you this, clear the sentry, and your life is saved. If you lead us across the bridge, you will have made a great contribution.

, prosperity and wealth are indispensable in the future.”

Chen Zhitai looked at the opposite side, thought for a moment, and then said, "My lord, it's not difficult to cross the bridge. I can ask them to lower the suspension bridge at any time." After a pause, he said, "But even if it's me, I have to cross the bridge at this time.

We also need a reason. If it is not an urgent matter, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning to go there. Ding Zixiu is cautious, and the thing he is most wary of is that someone wants to cross the bridge at night."

"I found a good reason for you." Yu Wen Chengchao said with a smile, "Didn't you go down the mountain to grab food today? Just tell the other party that you have grabbed more than 30 carts of food, and you have to report it to Ding Zixiu overnight, so

Great credit, he should meet you, right?"

Chen Zhitai nodded and said, "What Ding Zixiu loves to hear now is that he has grabbed grain. Every time grain is transported to the mountain, he is overjoyed. With more than thirty carts of grain, he is naturally even more happy."

Yu Wen Chengchao suddenly stopped talking. Qin Xiao and others were wondering when they suddenly heard Yu Wen Chengchao whisper, "What a great opportunity, why did I just think of it now?"

"Master, what are you thinking of?" Dapeng asked in a low voice.

"Master Chen, do you mean to say that after robbing more than thirty carts of food, you can see Ding Zixiu tonight?" Yu Wen Chengchao looked at Chen Zhitai and asked.

Chen Zhitai nodded, not knowing why Yu Wen Chengchao suddenly became excited, and said, "More than thirty carts of grain, Ding Zixiu can laugh out of his dreams. If I report that these grains have been shipped back, of course he will see me tonight."

"Dapeng, do you understand what I mean?" Yu Wencheng couldn't hide the joy in his eyebrows.

Dapeng looked serious, as if he had thought of something, and was about to speak when he heard Qin Xiao whisper, "There is someone!"

Everyone immediately clenched their weapons and heard movement not far away. Then they heard a few birds chirping. Yu Wen Chengchao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a fat fish."

Dapeng also put his hands over his mouth and made several bird calls towards the other side, which was lifelike.

Qin Xiao knew that this was their signal, and he could use it to determine the identity of the other party.

Then he saw Fat Fish leading a group of people approaching quietly. Seeing Yu Wen Chengchao, he leaned closer and whispered, "My lord, those sentry posts have been cleared."

Qin Xiao actually knew in his heart that the people under Yuwen Chengchao were all capable men, and the swordsmen he brought were also elite soldiers. It was not difficult for these people to pull out a few nails.

"Send someone to send a signal to the mountainside in the north." Yu Wencheng said, "Inform Yuan Shangyu and they will bring people over immediately."

Pang Yu turned around and ordered the two people to do it immediately. After the two people took the order and left, Pang Yu said, "Master, now we just need to wait for the people behind to come up, and then let Mr. Chen help the other side to lower the suspension bridge."

"Let's cross the bridge and take control of the other side immediately. Commander Yuan can lead his people to rush over." He raised his head and looked to the other side and said, "There are only five or six people guarding the suspension bridge over there, they can be easily dealt with."

"Don't forget, there are two arrow towers over there." Ning Zhifeng also stared at the opposite side and said, "Cross the bridge and start. The guards on the arrow towers will immediately notice that they will be a trouble."

Fat Fish smiled and said, "We only need to go over and control it for a while, and a large group of people will come behind us. There are many people under Commander Yuan who are skilled archers. It will be easy to deal with the guys on the arrow tower."

Yuwen Chengchao suddenly said, "Master Chen can see Ding Zixiu."

Fat Fish and Ning Zhifeng looked at each other. They didn't understand what Yu Wen Chengchao meant at first, but in a moment, Fat Fish was the first to understand, and his expression instantly became solemn. "Young Master, do you want to go deep into the tiger's den and let

Did he take you to see Ding Zixiu?"

"What do you think?" Yu Wen Chengchao whispered, "Master Chen took us across the bridge on the grounds of repaying merit. He can go to see Ding Zixiu tonight, and we will follow him. After meeting Ding Zixiu,

Take action immediately and capture Ding Zixiu." He sneered and said, "The bandits in Jigongxia are just a mob. To capture the thieves, capture the king first. As long as we capture Ding Zixiu, they will collapse immediately. We will deal with them without bloodshed.

This bandit."

"No." Fat Fish said without hesitation, "Master, if it is a last resort and you choose this way, we may take a risk and take a risk, but now we have controlled the front mountain, and Commander Yuan's troops will arrive soon.

The safest way is, as I just said. That is also the plan that the eldest son and Commander Yuan have discussed in advance. It is definitely not a good thing to suddenly change the plan at this time. Also, how can the eldest son be so noble and take risks so easily?

I cannot agree."

"Fat Fish is right." Dapeng also nodded and said, "Although the eldest son's plan is not bad, there are variables. If we cross the bridge and go to see Ding Zixiu, but other troubles arise, for example, Ding Zixiu doesn't want to do anything tonight.

What if he meets us? Also, Ding Zixiu's martial arts is not weak. If we can't control him quickly, the entire Jigong Gorge will belong to him." Pointing to the opposite side, he said, "There are more than two hundred Ding Zixiu there.

Although my subordinates are a mob, they are also desperadoes, and it will not be easy to deal with them once they become ruthless."

Yu Wencheng saw Qin Xiao thoughtfully and asked, "Wang Xiao, what do you think?"

Qin Xiao raised his head and said, "My lord, I think what they said is reasonable. Go see Ding Zixiu and capture the thief and the king. If you succeed, you can certainly wipe out this group of bandits without a single blow, but the risk of doing so is also extremely high."

, if we fail to capture Ding Zixiu as we wish, all the efforts made in this plan will be wasted, and the eldest son will also be in danger."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Yuwen Chengchao said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the purpose of this campaign to conquer Jigong Gorge is?"

"Of course we need to eradicate Ding Zixiu." Ning Zhifeng said.

Yu Wen Cheng nodded and said, "The madman is right. There is only one goal for this operation, and that is to kill or even capture Ding Zixiu. As for the other bandits on the mountain, they are not worth mentioning. If Ding Zixiu escapes, they will be killed."

If all the other bandits are eliminated, then this operation will be a failure."

"The eldest son thinks he can escape?" Fat Fish looked serious. "Commander Yuan brought nearly two hundred elite soldiers, all of them brave soldiers from the White Tiger Camp. When they reached the back mountain, Ding Zixiu had no way to escape."

"Fat Fish is right." Ning Zhifeng also nodded and said, "Although Jigong Gorge is not small and there are many hiding places, there are many of us. When the time comes, we will dig three feet into the ground to see where Ding Zixiu can hide."

Yu Wen Chengchao sneered, "We thought so last time, but in the end we were escaped by Ding Zixiu. Ding Zixiu was more cunning than we thought. We all thought that the back mountain of Jigong Gorge was surrounded by cliffs, and we could only escape through the suspension bridge.

But what if Ding Zixiu really has a way to escape? We have put a lot of effort into mobilizing hundreds of elite soldiers this time. If Ding Zixiu escapes again, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him? The Yuwen family cannot afford to lose this person.

.”

It was about the reputation of the Yuwen family, so Fat Fish and others fell silent.

What Yuwen Chengchao said is not unreasonable.

Ding Zixiu is a cunning rabbit. If he really escapes during this siege, Baihu Camp will lose its face, and the reputation of the Yuwen family will also be hit.
