Hai Dongqing frowned and said: "This is how I see it. This Gao Muqing is a female prostitute who probably cannot control the desperadoes in the village. Jin Gui was the leader of the second village before, so she had it easy. But after Jin Gui was killed, she
On the one hand, I was unable to manage the village leaders, and on the other hand, I was worried that I would retaliate against her, so I chose to sue for peace. She wanted to send Lin Jue Dang a certificate of surrender, which I couldn't ask for. In addition, we are currently contacting the heroes of the world, Gui
Shandao Shanzhai is what we urgently need to win over, so this matter will benefit us without any harm. What do you think, brother?"
Xu Xing took a sip of wine and said slowly: "What the island owner said is true. Guishan Island is indeed very useful to us. If Gao Muqing really wants to submit to us, then of course it is a wish. We just need Guishan Island to control the north.
The canals and rivers, and the restraint of the imperial troops and horses, will be more advantageous for major events. However, this matter happened so strangely, which makes me feel quite uncomfortable, brother."
"Hehehe, you just have too many thoughts on your mind. I see that she is scared and frightened now, and she cannot hold on to the village. She has no choice but to take refuge in me. Otherwise, she will have no way to survive."
"Perhaps as the leader of the village said, the reason is as simple as that. But the master of the village must not forget that Gao Muqing had a hand in Jin Gui's death. She and Na Lin Jue worked together, and Jin Gui died unexpectedly. It's a pity.
Jin Gui was so careless to be buried in the body of a woman and a concubine of the Lin family."
Hai Dongqing sighed gloomily and said: "I don't know what you are talking about. I know that this woman is also involved. Jin Gui was fascinated by her and refused to take action, which cost him his life. But
The Guishan Island cottage belongs to his Gao family. If we kill her, Guishan Island will never surrender to us. Jin Gui's revenge must be avenged, but this woman must be kept first, and we can deal with him later. Kill that woman first.
Jin Gui's spirit surnamed Lin is comforting him. In fact, Jin Gui acted inappropriately. Why did he kill Gao Yuankui? He could have endured it for a while longer until he completely gained Gao Yuankui's trust and inherited his position.
It will be a matter of time. Although Jin Gui is shrewd, he is still a little impatient. How could Gao Muqing not avenge his father's murder? What would you do if it were you? "
Xu Xing nodded and said: "What the island owner said is that this time the island owner has a good talk with Gao Muqing, and it is best to reach an agreement. Let Guishan Island surrender to us. This will be of great benefit to us. What I am worried about
It's just why Gao Muqing made a sudden turn. The reason given by the island owner is not unreasonable, but it always feels a bit abrupt."
Hai Dongqing smiled and said: "I understand, Brother Xu, when they come, we will ask clearly. How can it be done if they don't tell the truth if they don't tell the truth? How can I let her go if she can't explain clearly. Jin Gui
She was responsible for her death. Am I, Haidongqing, so easy to get along with? Come on, let’s have a drink. Let’s discuss hurricane prevention. In half a month, the first hurricane of the year will probably come.
Okay. How are the supplies in the cottage? The ships’ sheltered harbors and windbreaks must be strengthened as soon as possible. We need to take these things into account.”
These were also major internal affairs related to the village. Xu Xing knew the importance, so he nodded in agreement. The two of them took a sip from the wine bowl and discussed it while I drank.
…
After sailing for a day and a night, the big ship on which Lin Jue, Gao Muqing and others finally arrived at the mouth of the Qiantang River. On the way there, they stopped at the dock of a small market town. Gao Muqing also deliberately asked someone to escort Lin Jue, who was tied up with five flowers.
The purpose of showing up a sign on the deck was to let the pirates' eyes and ears see all this, so as to convey a message to Hai Dongqing.
Lin Jue was tied up for a day and a night. His hands and feet were almost numb, and his wrists and ankles had bruises caused by the rope binding. It was extremely uncomfortable. But he still gritted his teeth and endured it, because since it was a show, he had to do it.
It's true, and it's done flawlessly. Most of the more than a hundred selected bandits on the ship don't know the true purpose of this plan, so even they have to be deceived. Otherwise, after arriving at the pirates' lair, the pirates will definitely
Those who look for opportunities to inquire about the situation are their targets, and they are likely to be incited to rebel or forced to tell the truth, so all this is necessary.
Gao Muqing couldn't bear it, so he secretly put some soft cloth on Lin Jue's hands and feet while pretending to be on inspection, applied some medicine to the damaged areas of the skin, and whispered a few words of apology. On the contrary, Lin Jue kept comforting her not to mind.
.
The land was left behind, and the big ship went straight into the sea, instantly turning into a small boat. The rain stopped, but the scene on the sea made people even more frightened. Under the low sky, the endless sea water surged in front of you. The surroundings were endless.
It's all water, and the distance in the distance is gloomy and obscure, as if it's full of ominous fog. This scene makes people feel heavy, with a sense of awe and fear. Those who followed from the Guishan Island cottage usually
I walked back and forth on the turbulent water of Hongze Lake. I thought I was already familiar with it and was not afraid of the wind and waves. But at this moment, I realized that I was a frog in the well. Compared with the sea in front of me, Hongze Lake is just a small pond.
The boat sailed to the northeast, bypassing Putuo Island and heading to the depths of the sea. Putuo Island was quite close to the coast. Although the island was very large, the pirates decisively gave up occupying the island because they could not control such a huge island with their own hands.
The terrain of the island is also not conducive to defense. Therefore, Putuo Island is the only large island in the sea controlled by the Ninghai Navy. Most of the Ninghai Navy is stationed in the port on the west of the island.
Detouring around this island is also to avoid being disturbed by the patrol ships of the Ning Navy. Although it is obvious that these will not cause trouble to Lin Jue and others, from the perspective of pirates, if they do not avoid the military port where the Ning Navy is stationed,
There must be something wrong with that. So I went around just to show off.
At noon, when Lin Jue was leaning in the cabin and looking through the porthole at the turbulent sea outside, he heard footsteps outside and the cabin door was pushed open. Gao Muqing walked in with a food box in his hand.
Lin Jue sat upright with a smile and stretched out his tied hands to let Gao Muqing untie him. However, Gao Muqing did not let him do so. He just took out a few side dishes and a bottle of wine and placed them on the wooden table.
"Today, I fulfilled your wish and fed you vegetables and wine." After finishing his work, Gao Muqing poured a glass of wine for Lin Jue himself and held it in front of Lin Jue with both hands.
Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "I was just joking, why should you take it seriously? I don't dare to take it seriously."
"If you dare, drink it. I cooked these dishes for you myself. I'm not good at cooking. Just don't laugh at me." Gao Muqing said softly.
Lin Jue laughed, stretched out his mouth and drank the glass of wine in Gao Muqing's hand. Gao Muqing took the chopsticks and picked up the food and brought it to Lin Jue's mouth, but Lin Jue shook his head and refused to eat.
"Mu Qing, I understand what you are thinking. Do you think that this time we are in danger and it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed. So, you want to fulfill my wish and feed me vegetables and wine?"
Gao Muqing put down his chopsticks and sighed softly: "You are too smart, I can't hide anything from you. To be honest, I really think so. Don't you think we have no chance of winning this trip? Although your plan is feasible, entering Haidong
After Qing's territory, you and I are the meat on their chopping board. Whether the plan can proceed smoothly is beyond our control."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "In that case, why did you agree to take this risk with me? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Gao Muqing said softly: "If you want to come, I will accompany you. This is the reason. Hai Dongqing wants to kill you, how can I just sit back and watch. If you want to destroy the pirates, I will naturally help you."
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said: "Thank you. You knew that we might have to die here, but you didn't complain. This touched me very much. However, this seems unfair." Gao Muqing smiled and shook his head: "No, this is very unfair.
To be fair, this is my voluntary choice. When you proposed this plan that day, I joined it voluntarily. Besides, in my heart, this is my duty and it is my unshirkable responsibility."
"How do you say this? Although I helped you avenge the murder of your father, the matter has been settled. You don't have to do this." Lin Jue said softly.
Gao Muqing's bright eyes stared at Lin Jue, and after a while he suddenly said: "It has nothing to do with that matter. I came because you and I went to court and got married. Although it was fake, in my opinion
, that day is my big day. The least I have to do for you is to fulfill...the responsibilities of husband and wife. The food I cooked today and serve you once are also fulfilling the responsibilities of a wife, but it's not all because of you.
That joke."
Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing in shock. He did not expect Gao Muqing to say such words.
Gao Muqing's face turned red and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I won't rely on you. It's just that I can't let it go. I have no other intentions. I want to help you accomplish this great thing, so
It's just a matter of mutual love and peace of mind. After doing this, I don't have any worries. I know you like a woman like Miss Fang, and I have never seriously thought about marrying you.
, you are not my ideal partner, so don’t be afraid, let alone be burdened.”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid, I'm just touched. I didn't expect you to think so. I didn't expect that fake wedding would make you feel so upset. If I had known that, I should have thought of another way. And
It's not that careless. Indeed, this is damaging to your reputation, and I need to apologize to you."
Gao Muqing smiled and said: "There is nothing to apologize for. It was a good strategy to obey the emergency. And didn't I also drag you into the water? If your girl Fang knew that you were dating me, I don't know what she would do.
Say? By the way, I've been in Hangzhou for so many days, why are you so stingy and why don't you introduce me to me?"
Lin Jue's face darkened, and he sighed: "She has died."
"What? How could this happen? What happened?" Gao Muqing said in shock.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I don't want to mention this matter. If I can escape unharmed this time, I will tell you. Now I don't want to mention it anymore. You haven't fed me vegetables yet. It turns out that this is not my wish, but
If you wish, then I will fulfill your wish. Come on, come on, feed me quickly, I want to eat up all the vegetables."
Gao Muqing spat lightly, picked up the chopsticks, took a slow bite and put it into Lin Jue's mouth. The food was not delicious, and it was obvious that it was not made by an ordinary cook, but Lin Jue chewed it and praised it repeatedly.
Seeing Lin Jue eating happily, Gao Muqing was also very happy. With a glass of wine and a bite of food, like a virtuous little daughter-in-law, she put all the food and wine on the table into Lin Jue's belly.
After finally finishing all the salty and old dishes, Lin Jue took a long breath of relief. The craftsmanship and green dance are just as good as in the sky and on the ground. However, the intention is no different.
Lin Jue burped, wiped his mouth with the cloth on Gao Muqing's hand and said with a smile: "I really hope I can still eat food cooked by Mu Qing. Even for this goal, we have to do our best. Naturally, I
I know that this trip is dangerous, and I also know that we may not come back, but I, Lin Jue, have always believed that everything depends on people. Besides, if I don't come, I will die. I came and worked hard, and then died, so there is no regret.
.”
Gao Muqing nodded and said, "What you are saying is that I am too pessimistic."
Lin Jue said: "Before you act, expect the best, but be prepared for the worst. The first hurdle here is whether you can save my life. As long as Hai Dongqing doesn't chop me with a knife at the sight of me, I will
Then I have the confidence to deal with him. Come, let's discuss how to pass this first hurdle and make some plans for emergencies so as not to be caught off guard."
