Lin Jue carried the cloth and walked on the road on the right, although it was quiet everywhere. The further he walked, the more Lin Jue felt that the scenery here was a little different. Since entering the village, all he could see were either stone houses or arrow towers.
, but when we reach the top of the mountain, there are not many houses around, but there are more trees.
The trees here are not only pines and cypresses, but also diverse. Lin Jue even saw a large bamboo forest on the roadside. The dense bamboo leaves rustled in the sunshine, and were green. There were also various different
All the flowers and trees seem to be pruned by dedicated personnel and kept in good condition. There are even some specially built flower beds for replanting flowers and plants on the roadside. Although there are no flowers in abundance this season, many flower trees are still spreading their branches and leaves and have not withered.
appearance.
Lin Jue didn't find it strange at all. After all, this place has been in business for twenty years. It is a place of long-term residence rather than a temporary place. Therefore, some arrangements must have been made and some livable landscapes have been made in the past twenty years.
The Zhou Dynasty was an exquisite era, and the style of gardens in the south of the Yangtze River was very popular. Even in the countryside, in the ordinary courtyards of the people, they would make some flowers and plants, and make hanging doors and flower arches. This is something in their bones, bandits
It's no exception. Not to mention that the current resident here is a woman. Although she is a female bandit, she is still a woman.
After bypassing a large bamboo forest, the sight in front of him made Lin Jue open his mouth in shock. What he never expected was that there was such a scenery on the top of the island. He found that he was standing on a
The shore of a quite large lake. This is definitely not man-made. Judging from the scale and area, it is beyond the reach of manpower. This is a natural lake in an island.
Lin Jue stood blankly on the east bank of the small lake. What he could see was the undulating outline covered by green trees surrounding the shore of the small lake in the distance. At the highest point opposite the lake shore in the distance, there was a
The palace stood majestically, with a large flag piercing the sky, and a yellow flag fluttering under the blue sky in the distance. Lin Jue immediately recognized the place, which was the highest point of the Juyi Hall, and
To the north of Juyi Hall is the flat land behind the cliff, which is also the burial place of the old village leader Gao Yuankui. Lin Jue had looked up at the huge flag many times on the edge of the forest, so he recognized it at once.
Lin Jue slowly withdrew his gaze, and then he realized that there was a small stone bridge in front of him, spanning a small protrusion of the lake, connecting a road leading to the opposite side among the green trees. Hidden by the green trees, there was a small bridge.
Half of the outline of the building was exposed, with hanging cornices and red painted columns. It looked very delicate. Lin Jue immediately realized that that was where Gao Muqing lived.
After calming down, Lin Jue walked up the stone lantern bridge step by step to the opposite side. Under the cover of the trees, he slowly approached the courtyard in front of the small building. To Lin Jue's surprise, Lin Jueben
I thought I would encounter a lot of guards, but I had already arrived in the small courtyard in front of the building, and I didn't encounter anyone blocking me. I didn't even see the shadow of any guard.
This situation made Lin Jue feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Jue originally thought that once the traces were discovered, he would let them escort him to the leader of the village without any resistance, and he would naturally reveal his identity to Gao Muqing during the interrogation.
.This is much more effective than reporting a request to see Gao Muqing. After all, with his status, he is not qualified to see Gao Muqing. However, since no one is stopping him, Lin Jue doesn't know what to do.
After standing in front of the hidden gatehouse of the courtyard for a moment, Lin Jue gritted his teeth and walked into the courtyard carrying the flower cloth. The courtyard was neat and simple, the ground was swept clean, and a small pile of fallen leaves was swept to a corner of the courtyard and lit. At this moment,
There was a faint wisp of green smoke. A few bushes of late chrysanthemums were still blooming in the corner of the yard, and the air was filled with a rich fragrance.
Lin Jue bent down and put the cloth on the ground, and walked gently to the door of the small building in front. The hall door of the small building was also open. Lin Jue himself felt incredible that he walked into the big building so easily.
There was no one blocking the small building where the village leader lived. Even when he entered the house, he didn't see anyone. It seems that if you want to see someone, you need to take the initiative to ask, "Is anyone home?"
The hall is also neat and elegant. Only the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain hanging on the upper wall ruins the atmosphere of the entire small hall. It seems to remind Lin Jue that this is not an ordinary elegant small hall, but Guishan lives here.
The leader of Dao Shan Village.
When Lin Jue was standing in the hall and looking around, suddenly there seemed to be a rustling wind behind his head. Lin Jue felt something and turned around to look. The next moment, he saw the tip of a long sword that shone with green light. The tip of the sword was trembling slightly.
, only a few inches away from the center of his eyebrows. Lin Jue was frightened and stepped back with an ouch, but the long sword followed Lin Jue's retreating figure like a shadow, always keeping an inch away from Lin Jue.
Jue's back hit the Eight Immortals table placed above, and he finally had no way to retreat.
The owner of the long sword was dressed in white and looked at him coldly with a frosty mask on his face. He was none other than Gao Muqing, the leader of Guishan Island Village.
"Who are you? What do you want to do when you break into this place? Tell me quickly, if you tell a lie, you will die here." Gao Muqing's red lips slightly opened and he asked coldly, with a chill in his voice.
"Master of the village, please don't do anything. I am a brother of the village. I am one of my own." Lin Jue shouted hurriedly.
"Who is your friend? What I'm asking is why are you here? Don't you know that outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit my place?" Gao Muqing raised his eyebrows, with a murderous look on his face.
"I'm here to deliver..." Lin Jue pointed to the floral cloth on the ground outside the door and instinctively wanted to defend. However, mid-sentence, he realized that he was really stupid. That reason was just to fool the guards outside, in front of the real owner.
How could he still lie to his face? Wouldn't that be hitting the muzzle of the gun? The leader of the village did not allow himself to send flowers and cloth.
"I came here specifically to ask for a meeting with the leader of the village. Please forgive me for any rudeness." Lin Jue calmed down and got straight to the point.
"You came here specifically to see me? Which leader of that battalion are you a subordinate of?" Gao Muqing shouted in a deep voice.
"I am a new member of the ninth team of the outpost camp. This is my belt." Lin Jue carefully took off his belt and handed it over.
Gao Muqing flicked his wrist, drew an arc with the tip of his sword, accurately and lightly picked up the waist card in Lin Jue's hand, reached out and grabbed it. After frowning for a moment, he threw it to the ground.
"You broke the rules of the village. I don't care whether you are a newbie or an old man, or what your status is. If you come to see me on any so-called important matters. If you break into my residence without permission, you will die. Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju
, where have you all gone?"
After Gao Muqing finished speaking, there were clattering footsteps outside. A slender woman rushed in with seven or eight female soldiers. When she saw the posture in front of her, she was stunned on the spot.
"Master, what's going on?"
"What's going on? You're still asking me? This person broke into my residence like this. This is your dereliction of duty. Why don't I take him out and deal with it? I will come back to settle the score with you later." Gao Muqing scolded in a deep voice.
road.
The face of the woman named Qiu Ju was red. She was the leader of the female guard team responsible for protecting the residence of the leader of the village. It was noon, and she was eating in the kitchen with the female guards at the back. Unexpectedly, she appeared
Such a thing happened. A stranger walked in in a big way.
Two women ran in from outside with red faces. They were the two guards on duty who stayed in front of the building while everyone was eating.
"Green Bamboo, Green Willow. Where have you two gone? Damn it if you dare to leave your post without permission and let someone sneak in." Qiu Ju cursed loudly.
The two women fell to their knees on the ground and confessed repeatedly. "Here comes Cuiliu... It's a red incident. Her stomach hurts badly. I helped her go to the toilet... I didn't expect... such a thing would happen. Please Dazhai
Although it was hard to talk about this matter, and it was in front of a man, the two female guards couldn't care less. The duty of protecting the leader of the village was extremely important. This was their biggest responsibility. They were intruded without knowing it.
, this is already a big mistake.
"You still have to quibble, so what if you have a reason? I will give you strict instructions on weekdays. Whenever you are on duty, even if the mountains shake and the earth shakes, and knives fall from the sky, you are not allowed to leave without permission, let alone if you have a minor physical problem. If
Something happened to the leader of the village because of this, and you two will die without redemption." Qiu Ju yelled and cursed.
The two female guards kept kowtowing and confessed repeatedly.
Gao Muqing said coldly: "Qiu Ju, I want you to take this person out and kill him, but I don't want to listen to you scolding your subordinates here. We will talk about your dereliction of duty later, but first take this person out and kill him."
Qiu Ju hurriedly accepted the promise, waved her hand and said to the female guards: "Why are you still standing there? Take this guy out and throw him into the Poison Dragon Pond to feed the Poison Dragon."
Lin Jue was startled. The so-called poisonous dragons are crocodiles. There are as many poisonous dragons in the river as crucian carp crossing the river, and fishermen and common people suffer from them. These guys are notorious. There are some words among the people to scare children when they are disobedient,
The most commonly used one is: Don’t make trouble, otherwise the poisonous dragon will eat you. After hearing this, children often shut up immediately and dare not cry. Because everyone knows that the poisonous dragon looks ugly, and what’s even more terrifying is that
They devour their prey with ferocity, tearing the prey apart alive and swallowing it piece by piece. These people actually want to throw themselves to feed the poisonous dragon. Even if there are a hundred ways to die, Lin Jue will never do it.
Choose this one.
Several female guards rushed up to take Lin Jue, and Lin Jue hurriedly shouted loudly: "Master of the Dazhai, I have something very important to ask you to see me."
Gao Muqing said coldly: "I don't want to hear such big things. If you break into my residence, you will die."
Lin Jue shouted loudly: "What if it's about the cause of death of the old village leader? Don't you want the big village master to listen too?"
"What?" Gao Muqing was shaken, and her face changed drastically. She waved her hand to stop the women's actions, and walked towards Lin Jue step by step with her long sword in hand, her expression extremely cold.
"What did you just say? What are you talking about?"
"I'm not lying. I'm just here to tell the leader of the stronghold the truth about this matter. I believe the leader of the stronghold must also have this doubt in his heart, so I'm here to clear up his doubts." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Gao Mu Qingfeng looked majestic and said softly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what will happen to you if you dare to talk nonsense on this matter?"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Is it any worse than being thrown into the Poison Dragon Pond and feeding the Poison Dragon? Master of Dazhai, I risked beheading to come here just to tell Master of Dazhai the truth about this matter.
If the Lord wants to hear it, let’s sit down and talk in detail. If the Lord doesn’t want to hear it, you can throw me into the Poison Dragon Pond now.”
Gao Muqing's expression changed. He glared at Lin Jue and suddenly shouted softly: "Qiu Ju, close the courtyard door immediately, lead a strict search and block the entire road, and prohibit anyone from entering, including the second village master and the leader of the village, just say I
No one was seen today."
"Follow your orders!" Qiu Ju also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately led everyone out. After a while, there was a loud sound of bamboo whistles outside, and the sound of women's shouts and clattering footsteps came. It was obviously Qiu Ju who was gathering.
Manpower has been deployed to search and seal off the entire area.
