Chapter 43: Clearing the Gate and Cutting the Grass (Part 2)

  The search scope was finally narrowed down to a small valley not far away, and everyone seemed to have guessed that Zu Jianmin was hiding in the Wang Ba cave. Shan Yixuan walked towards the valley with a heavy heart, and as he got closer to the valley, he had a bad feeling. In addition to Zu Jianmin and his confidants, there were several elders in the Wang Ba cave, and he had to ensure their safety.

  "Xuan Ge, Wang Ba Dong is about to arrive, what should we do? We can't get too close to the entrance of this cave. If a heavy machine gun is blocking the entrance, many brothers will be killed or injured!" Lao San said, pointing to a small black hole 200 meters away. At this time, all the brothers who were conducting a carpet search on the top of the mountain and halfway up the hill were standing behind Xuan Ge and his men.

  "Xuan Ge, we found many footprints along the way. They really have been here. Judging from the time, they should not have come out yet, or rather, they are waiting for nightfall!" A brother ran to Xuan Yi Xuan and said.

  Shan Yixuan nodded and snorted, saying: "So a cunning guy will also reveal his flaws. It seems that the old saying is true - a fox will always have a day when its tail is exposed! Telescope!" Shan Yixuan stretched out his hand, and Liu San immediately put the telescope hanging from his neck into Shan Yixuan's hand. Shan Yixuan looked at the entrance of Wang Ba Cave in the distance, and indeed the entrance was very small, just enough for one person to enter and exit, and two people would probably block the entrance.

  "Is there another exit for this turtle cave?" Shan Yixuan asked softly while observing the surroundings of the turtle cave.

  "It's gone, back when Qinglong Village wasn't as prosperous as it is now, we would often follow Old Master to hide here and escape the warlord's pursuit. There was also food stored inside that we had stockpiled back then, but I don't know if it's still there now. The space inside is quite large, we could hide for ten days or half a month, and the warlords couldn't do anything about it. After a few days, they would lose patience and we would naturally come out. Zhu Jianmin followed Old Master here many times, but now this place has been forgotten for over a decade, and that little brat has made use of this old turtle cave again." Old Three sighed as he spoke.

  Shan Yixuan curled his lips and smiled, "Hmm, it's interesting." Shan Yixuan handed the binoculars to Liu San, laughing and saying, "Shock Zujianmin's young heart!" As he spoke, he cocked the gun and raised it "Bang bang!"

  Shan Yixuan's gunshot rang out, and Lao San and Liu San also raised their guns at the same time. For a moment, the dense gunfire echoed through the mountain valley. The thick smell of gunpowder almost filled the entire Qinglong Mountain peak.

  Shan Yixuan waved his hand, and the gunfire stopped instantly. Shan Yixuan turned around and said seriously: "Don't forget this smell of gunpowder, it's reminding each of us to always be on guard, especially against people like Zu Jianmin. I know he may have been your brother for over a decade, but now he's not. He killed six of our brothers with his own hands. Now, he's our enemy. What is sympathy towards an enemy? Who can tell me?"

  "Sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to oneself!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

  Shan Yixuan nodded in satisfaction, and the smell of gunpowder spread throughout the valley ahead of time. Firstly, it was to remind all brothers to tighten their nerves and not forget the consequences of betrayal at this moment. Secondly, he was afraid that some brothers would be too soft-hearted and dare not or would not know how to deal with Zu Jianmin's people. To prevent such a thing from happening, Shan Yixuan still made a pre-war mobilization, and once again stirred up everyone's angry mood.

  Shan Yixuan curled his lip and said: "Sniper, find the best position to attack, take down the machine gun at the entrance of the cave for me!"

  Shan Yixuan's words fell, and no one moved, as if they all felt that what was said was not about themselves, standing innocently behind Shan Yixuan, looking left and right.

  Shan Yixuan spared no words and glanced at Xiao Feng, saying: "You little rascal is carrying a sniper rifle, why don't you go find a sniping position?"

  "What? Are you talking about me?" Xiao Feng looked at Shan Yixuan in surprise, but seeing Shan Yixuan's expression change suddenly, he quickly put down the sniper rifle on his body and said: "Understood!" After that, he ran up the mountain. Liu San walked to Shan Yixuan's side and said: "Xuan Ge, I'm worried that Zu Jianmin will take the elders as hostages."

  Shan Yixuan licked the tip of his tongue, he had thought about this problem, but now he hadn't had time to consider it. If the sniper really enraged this fox, it wasn't hard to imagine that he would definitely make an article out of the elder inside. "Send someone to inform Dr. Li, let him prepare, come once, and have the brothers go find a few stretchers." Shan Yixuan said to Liu San.

  "Yes!" Liu San turned around and was about to leave, when Shan Yixuan called out to him in a bad mood: "Give me the telescope!"

  Liu San handed over the binoculars with a silly smile and immediately ran down the mountain with several people.

  Shan Yixuan used binoculars to search for Xiao Feng's figure along the route Xiao Feng had just run, but no matter what, he couldn't see Xiao Feng's shadow. He said with some annoyance: "What time is it already? Still playing hide and seek with me."

  "Xuan Ge doesn't mind, Xiao Feng that kid just loves to play, and that sniper rifle really made him go crazy!" Lao San stepped forward and said.

  At that moment when Shan Yixuan put down the telescope, he still discovered Xiao Feng's sniper position and couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself that he was still a bit tender!

  At this time, Xiao Feng may not know that because he wanted to show off his disguised ability to Shan Yixuan, he had to add a training subject to the original training subject, disguise and lurking training.

  One minute later, Shan Yixuan saw that Xiao Feng was not finished yet, and with the fastest speed, he drew out his pistol. With a "bang", a bullet cut through the air, and a small bamboo stick on top of Xiao Feng's head snapped in response.

  Xiao Feng looked at the bamboo, which was only a few centimeters away from his head, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself that this time he had gone too far. He quickly made an "ok" gesture with his hand to let Shan Yixuan know that he was in position.

  Everyone burst out laughing "haha" at the sight of Xiao Feng looking like a living treasure.

  Shan Yixuan took another look at the legendary Wang Ba Cave, turned around and said to his brothers: "You wait here, Old Three will go up with me." Such a small cave entrance, as Old Three had previously stated, if everyone went up, it would not be of much help, and might even add unnecessary casualties.

  After everyone nodded, Shan Yixuan and Lao San walked up the mountain together.

  Xiao Feng looked through the scope, carefully observing the situation at the entrance of Wang Ba Cave. The situation was indeed as Xuan Ge said, a crooked machine gun was set up at the entrance, and he had another point of admiration for Shan Yi Xuan.

  Shan Yixuan and the other person quietly walked to a blind spot of Wang Badong, stopping at a rock fifty meters away from the entrance.

  "Zu Jianmin, you're really something else. You can't even say goodbye to your big brother before leaving? What's the meaning of this?" Lao San's gun had already chambered a bullet.

  "Brother Min, the Singles have arrived, we may be surrounded." The machine gunner at the entrance turned to say to Zujianmin, who was filled with despair.

  Zu Jianmin held a bullet in his hand, things had come to this point, he had no way out. He never thought that Shan Yixuan would see through his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, now he remembered that Shan Yixuan was not a fool, but a very clever and cunning person.

  "To hell with it, I've had enough, at worst I'll just die. Anyway, I still have a few trump cards in my hand!" Zhu Jianmin turned his head to look at several former dignitaries who were once majestic. He walked to the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly: "Damn it, stop pretending to be mighty in front of me! I've followed the master for so many years, who has ever looked down on me? Now that the master is dead, why can't I become the leader?"

  Lao San looked at Shan Yixuan and shook his head helplessly, saying: "Xuan Ge, this guy probably won't compromise with us."

  Shan Yixuan nodded and said, "Since we can't compromise, let's get rid of him. However, we must ensure the safety of the elders inside." As he spoke, he looked back to see Liu San already bringing Doctor Li to the scene, several stretchers placed on the ground, everyone looking at him and Old Three with tense expressions.

  "Take a look at yourself, what's your ability? Which of the previous village masters didn't have some real skills? What do you have? Since the establishment of Qinglong Village, I even entered the mountain earlier than you. Now what do you have? Brothers, give me face as the third master, call me Third Brother, otherwise I don't care about anything else! Brother, now that you've come out, there's still room for mitigation, don't force yourself onto a dead-end path and regret it later!"
