……

Under the night, a group of soldiers lined up, carrying foreign guns, was rushing towards the gate of the city.

"Quick! Follow up..."

Outside the queue, there was a man with shiny back hair, a buffalo leather holster slung over his body, and shiny leather boots, shouting to the group of soldiers, urging them to move faster.It can be seen that he is the leader of this group of soldiers!

Looking at his anxious expression, it seems that the house has been burned down, and his anxious heart is like a fire!

The third monk was stunned: "Soldier?"

Ma Kuiyuan whispered: "It seems that the prison robbery has been exposed! Don't rush to do it for a while, and act according to my wink!"

The three monks nodded in agreement.

"Who?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, several officials who guarded the city gate in the whistle house also hurriedly got out, looked at each other, looked at each other again, wondered secretly, and then raised their voices to the gate guards. Shouted: "Load the bullets, and give me a bit of cleverness!"

At this time, the soldier leader with the combed back ran over, looked at the guards guarding the city and these officials, then saluted the military, and said: "I will be ordered by the Beijing Security Department to come to strengthen the defense!"

"King Security Division?"

The fat official was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Isn't your Beijing Security Department responsible for protecting the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City? Why did you go to the outer city gate to increase defense..."

It turns out that they are bridges to bridges, roads to roads, and they don't match each other.

Don't look at the foreign name, the work has been done since ancient times: in the Tang Dynasty it was called "Qianniuwei", in the Song Dynasty it was called "Forbidden Army", in the Ming Dynasty it was renamed "Yulin Army", and in the Qing Dynasty it was called "Jianruiying" "!"
As the saying goes: Those who enter the palace are all third-rank officials!

These people lived and ate in the imperial palace, and were close to Yuan Shikai, so they were naturally of a higher rank than the soldiers guarding the city gate!

The soldier with his hair combed back said: "I received a secret report! Two hours ago, the prison in Shuntian Mansion was robbed, and countless officers and soldiers were killed and injured... In order to prevent this group of people from escaping the capital, our Beijing Security Department was ordered to come to strengthen our defenses." !"

After hearing this, the fat man was shocked and said, "Who has the guts to rob a prison?"

The soldier didn't answer, but shouted loudly: "Come on! Strengthen your defense!"

One order!
The soldiers replaced the guards guarding the city with guns on their shoulders, squeezed the original guards to the corners, and drove down the guards on the watchtower, and put a heavy machine gun on the watchtower. Swinging sideways, the tiger is full of power...

"Where is this defense increase? It is clearly a defense change!"

"That's right! They got on top and pulled us down... Isn't 'King Security Division' obviously looking down on us?"

"It's unreasonable to take up our place, where should we go?"

"Hush! There are so many of them..."

Just as the city guards complained to each other, a fast horse galloped up!

A soldier jumped off his horse, ran straight to the leader of the army, stood at attention and gave a military salute, and said: "Commander Xu received the information from above, the identity of the jailbreaker has been ascertained, here is the portrait..." After finishing speaking, he took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it over, and added: "Commander Xu said that these people will be rewarded in the newspaper tomorrow, please Lieutenant Li to strictly investigate the past personnel here, so that no one can be leaked!"

Bingtou tore off a corner of the envelope, took out a few pieces of paper from the inside, spread it out on his chest, and saw that it was a few arrest notices!

One of them reads:
Sea arrest order!
Today there is the criminal Zhu's second child, nicknamed 'Flying Hammer', who robbed houses, murdered people and sold goods, heinously heinous, and today a reward is announced, whoever is caught and brought back to justice will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, hereby announce it!
On August [-]th in the early years of the Republic of China.

……

The content of the next few pictures is roughly similar, except that it is different from Zhu Laoer's bounty!
The list is as follows:

"Shadow Walker" Bai Shibao (700 taels)

"White Ape Tongbei" Shi Pinghai (700 taels)

"Strange money" Ma Wuye (700 taels)

"Exorcist Dragon" Ma Kuiyuan (700 taels)

"Black Cat with White Beard" Little Peach Red (700 taels)

"Three Monks" Sha Tongtian (700 taels)

After seeing it, the soldier leader thought to himself: It seems that the robbery of the prison really can't be put on the bright side. The higher ups have made up some pretexts of "robbing houses and homes" to arrest people, but they just don't want the common people to laugh at them!
So he asked the soldier who reported the letter, "Where did this information come from?"

The soldier who reported the letter replied: "This is really unclear! When I rushed with Commander Xu, these wanted notices had already been drawn and placed on the table, but the principal culprit had not been identified yet! At this time, a guard at the gate of Shuntianfu Prison walked in. , he pointed at the portrait and said that the leader is Zhu Lao Er!"

"Oh?"

The leader of the army wondered: "It seems that this 'wanted notice' has been drawn in advance... Could it be that the 'superior' knows that these people are going to rob prison?"

The soldier who reported the letter replied: "I dare not say this!"

The soldier turned around and handed the "wanted notice" to a soldier beside him, saying: "Put these wanted notices on the gate of the city to remind everyone..."

The soldier took the notice and responded, then turned and posted it on the city gate.

The officials in the Whistle House also came forward to read the notice, and one of them pointed to Ma Kuiyuan's portrait and said, "Huh? Why does this person look familiar?"

The person next to him joked: "Are you crazy about money? They want to commit crimes, so you want to date relatives?"

"No! Can you take a closer look?"

"It seems to have some impression..."

At this time, the fat official was beside him, pointing to Xiao Taohong's portrait and said, "Isn't this the woman who was leaving the city just now?"

"Don't tell me, it really looks like it!"

"Could it be..."

At this moment, several people thought of Ma Kuiyuan and the others, and hurriedly looked back, but they couldn't find their trace no matter what.The fat man hurriedly ran in front of the soldiers, and said anxiously: "Well, among the criminals, we have seen three of them!"

"What? Have you seen it?"

"That's right! They were still clamoring to leave the city just now! I think they have some questions and they didn't agree. You were still there when you came! If you don't take care of this time, people will run away!"

Bingtou exclaimed in shock: "You bunch of idiots! A cooked duck could fly..."

The fat officer begged for scolding, his face turned ashen, he knew he couldn't offend this group of soldiers.

"Quick! Come and follow me!" Bingtou turned on his horse, pulled out his pistol from the holster, and said to the rest of the soldiers, "You guys wait here and let me check carefully!" With more than a dozen guards, they chased towards the city...

Things in the world are just so coincidental!
At the same time, in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city.

After Bai Shibao and others bid farewell to Ma Kuiyuan, they waited in this abandoned house to meet up with the brothers. An hour passed in a blink of an eye, but they couldn't wait for a long time.Yan Zifei spun around in a hurry, and said in his mouth: "It's been an hour, why haven't they come back yet? Is there anything wrong?"

Ma Wuye sat on the ground, rubbing two stones with his hands, and replied: "Be calm! Maybe there will be some delays on the way, let's wait!"

"delay?"

Yan Zifei was startled and said, "Could it be that you met officers and soldiers?"

Bai Shibao came over and patted Yan Zifei on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. If you really meet officers and soldiers, no one will tell you. With Shi Pinghai's 'White Ape Tongbei' skill alone, it will not be a problem to save everyone." !"

Swallow and Flying Monkey said anxiously: "Why don't I go back and have a look?"

Before the words fell, there was only a muffled 'plop'!
Someone fell outside the house.

Everyone hurried out, helped the man up and saw that it was Li Cha!

"It's Brother Li Cha!"

Swallow flew around and looked around, but couldn't see anyone else, so he shouted anxiously: "Brother! What's wrong with you? Where are the other brothers?"

Li Cha covered his arms tightly with his hands, his sleeves were covered with blood, his face was a little pale, and he said weakly: "Soldiers!...there are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city..."

Bai Shibao asked anxiously, "Where are the others?"

"We bumped into officers and soldiers... so we proposed to disperse, flee separately, and then find a way to come here to meet up. When I ran, I was shot in the arm, so I hid in a farmer's manger and covered myself with hay. I just took my life and escaped back..."

Seeing his pale face, Ma Wuye said, "He's seriously injured... Hurry up! Help him into the house first!"

Yan Zifei helped Li Cha to the abandoned house, overturned the coffin board on the ground, and supported Li Cha to lie flat on it.At this time, Bai Shibao tore off Li Cha's cuff, and saw a hole in his arm was pierced by a bullet, and blood was gushing out. Ma Wuye said: "The blood has stopped temporarily, but we still need to grab some golden sore medicine to seal the wound!"

Yan Zifei said: "I'll go to the city to catch medicine!"

"and many more!"

Ma Wuye said: "There are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city now, I'm afraid you can't handle it alone! Why don't I go with you, and after you catch the medicine, you send it back first, and I will go to the city to find other brothers!"

When Bai Shibao heard it, he said, "I know the boundaries of the capital city better than you, so I'll go too!"

"it is good!"

Ma Wuye nodded, turned his head and said to the second child Zhu beside him: "Brother Zhu! You stay and take care of Brother Li Cha, and wait here for us to come back... If we haven't come back at dawn, you can take Li Cha with you." Brother Cha, leave the capital quickly!"

Zhu Laoer replied: "Don't worry, Fifth Master Ma! Just leave this place to me!"

After some explanations, the three of Bai Shibao got up and walked towards the city!
At this time, the capital city has become a mess, full of crises...

After walking for a while, Fifth Master Ma suddenly stopped, stopped Yan Zifei and Bai Shibao in front of him, and said nervously, "Didn't you see something wrong just now?"

Yan Zifei was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Bai Shibao frowned, and said, "I did feel a little weird just now..."
