The three of them walked in the wind and rain for half an hour before arriving at the only stone staircase leading up to the northeast of Juyi Hall. A huge rock stood in front of them, which was the sign leading to Juyi Hall. The three of them were careful.
He walked up the stone steps and around the huge rock. After climbing only a few dozen steps, he had to stop.
Tonight was indeed different from the past. Gao Muqing had gone up and down the Juyi Hall at night before, but after leaving the Juyi Hall Square, there were no obvious sentries on the stone steps. There were only a few arrow towers on the hillsides on both sides.
There were people up there. But today, at the top of the stone steps ahead, there were several figures wandering in the rain. On the hillsides on both sides, there were more than a dozen arrow towers stretching up, all with lights on, and there were people guarding them.
Seeing this, the three of them hurriedly hid in the long grass beside the road.
"It's troublesome to set up checkpoints." Gao Muqing said in a low voice.
Lin Jue nodded and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. Didn't Chen Mazi say that? To go to the Juyi Hall today, we need to have waist badges and passwords. We have the passwords, but we don't have the waist badges. It seems that we have to kill people to grab the waist badges."
.The guys above should all be guards, and their badges will definitely work."
Gao Muqing nodded and said: "Okay, there seem to be only three of them. When we go up to talk, we can take advantage of them and kill them. As long as we don't alert the people on the arrow tower."
Lin Jue raised his head and looked at the two nearest arrow towers on both sides. In the wind and rain, although the lights on the two arrow towers were on, it was obvious that in such strong wind and rain, it was impossible for the people on the arrow towers to come.
Patrolling the outer fence, they should be huddled inside the arrow tower to avoid the wind and rain. And according to common sense, the light in the arrow tower should be blind when looking into the darkness outside. They are just deceiving themselves.
"As long as it's clean and tidy, it shouldn't be discovered." Lin Jue nodded.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now."
Gao Muqing was about to get up and go down the mountain path. Lin Jue quickly grabbed her.
"Wait a moment." Lin Jue said.
"What are you waiting for? Time is running out. They will finish discussing it in a while, and there is no use for us to go up." Gao Muqing frowned.
Lin Jue didn't answer, and stared straight ahead through the gaps in the long grass. Just when Gao Muqing was about to ask again, Lin Jue whispered: "Sure enough, I said how could there be only three people. Mu Qing
, Brother Liang, look at what you see in the shadows on both sides of those three people, next to the stone on the left, and under the tree on the right?"
Gao Muqing and Liang Qi concentrated their eyes and tried to watch carefully. Gao Muqing gave a low cry and gasped: "There is a hidden whistle. There are two people squatting behind the stone on the left, and one leaning against the tree on the right. It's very dangerous. If we touch it,
He went up to kill someone and was discovered immediately."
When Gao Muqing said this, Liang Qi immediately recognized it. Behind a rock on the left were two black figures squatting together, and under a tree on the right was a dark figure standing against the tree. There were six people in this level, Sanming.
Three darkness.
"What a risk. Something almost happened. Fortunately, you were alert." Gao Muqing whispered.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and was speechless. Gao Muqing, a bandit, was so careless. She was not the material to be a bandit leader at all. If she was a qualified leader, how could she not know that light and dark sentries must be set up at key points? In fact, their Guishan Island copycat
There are also light and dark checkpoints in confidential places. It can be seen that Gao Muqing has no interest in the affairs of the cottage. It is no wonder that Qiu Biao took advantage of the situation and took control of the affairs of the cottage.
"You have to touch the secret whistle first, and then kill the three people on that level." Lin Jue frowned.
"How to kill? If there is any movement, wouldn't everyone be discovered?" Gao Muqing said.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Let me do this, I will attract their attention, and you can move over from the slopes on both sides. As long as I argue with the three people on the checkpoint, the three secret sentries will definitely focus their attention on me.
, that’s your chance to attack them. Just do it neatly.”
Gao Muqing nodded and said: "Okay, I'll deal with the two people on the left, Liang Qi. You go kill the secret sentry under the tree on the right, and you're going to kill him with one blow. Do you understand?"
Liang Qi nodded and whispered: "Master Dazhai, please don't worry."
Now that the three of them had decided on their plan, Gao Muqing slowly backed away, then crossed the mountain road and disappeared into the rocky slope on the other side. Liang Qi also slowly moved his body, and slowly moved upward under the cover of vegetation and rocks.
go.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed a handful of muddy water and smeared it on his face. Then he stood up, arranged his coir raincoat and bamboo hat and went down the mountain path, striding up the stone steps to the checkpoint.
A dozen steps away from the checkpoint, Lin Jue's figure was spotted by three pirate guards on the platform above. They immediately stood side by side on the steps above and looked down.
"Password!"
"The long river flows eastward into the sea." Lin Jue shouted.
"Brothers from that battalion on Mount Wuyue?" one of the guards shouted.
"From the West Post Camp." Lin Jue walked down and looked up. The rain prevented him from opening his eyes. He reached out and handed over the badge.
One of the guards leaned over and took the badge. He took a closer look and found that it was the badge of an ordinary gangster from the West Post Camp. The gangster in front of him was named Tian Ergou.
"Where are you going? You are not allowed to enter or leave the important area of Juyi Hall at will, unless you have permission from the island owner and military advisor. You can't go up there."
"The three brothers are accommodating. I am here to report the news. We found a suspicious ship on the sea, and the leader of the horse in Xiying is in the Juyi Hall, so I have no choice but to come and report." Lin Jue was busy.
road.
"Spot a suspicious ship? At this time? I'm afraid your eyes are deceived. There will be ships on the sea at this time, and you are looking for death, right?" Another guard said.
"Our horse leader said, but if we find something wrong, we must report it to him immediately, otherwise we will be whipped. How dare we neglect it? Maybe it is not a ship, but it has some resemblance. We dare not hide it and not report it." Lin Jue started to talk nonsense.
"Go away, you are breaking the rules and being suspicious. We have received an order and no one is allowed to enter the important area of Juyi Hall. If you want to report, just wait below and wait until you lead us down before reporting. You are afraid of being whipped.
, if we let you go up there, wouldn’t we also be whipped? Who will take care of us?”
"That's right, go away, go away, don't be verbose, otherwise we won't be polite." The other two guards scolded.
Lin Jueqian smiled and said: "Why do you three brothers do this? We are all working for the village. I can't afford it if something goes wrong. How about you give me some face?"
"Bah! I'm giving you face? Are you a piece of cake? Get lost. If you don't get lost and you continue to pester us, we will treat you as a petty person." A guard stretched out his hand and drew out his weapon.
From the corner of his eye, Lin Jue caught a glimpse of movement in the hiding places of the secret whistles on both sides. The three secret whistles had obviously been attracted by the dispute here and stretched out their necks like turtles to spy. This was exactly the effect Lin Jue wanted, and he decided to hide the movement.
Make a fuss.
"If you don't let me, you won't let me. Why are you scolding me? You sons of bitches, you bully people just because you are the island owner's guard. Who do you think you are? Aren't you just a little minion like me?" Lin Jue Cursed.
"What? You bitch, are you tired of living?" The three guards were furious. All three of them had already started to draw their weapons. The several secret sentries on both sides had completely forgotten to hide their figures, as if they were ready to come out to help at any time.
At this moment, a black shadow jumped out from the miscellaneous trees on the left, carrying the cold wind and fierce rain, and rushed behind the two secret whistles who were looking at them. One secret whistle seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to look back, and suddenly realized that His neck felt cold and then hot. He opened his mouth to scream, but found that he could no longer scream because his throat was broken. Before the other whistler could turn around, Gao Muqing slashed him in the back of the neck with a knife, killing him twice. The people fell down almost at the same time. Under the tree on the right, behind the rock, Liang Qi appeared and stabbed Anshao in the back of the heart with his back to him. The Anshao fell to the ground and was not dead for a while, but he actually made a sound from his mouth. Liang Qi Qi was so frightened that he quickly grabbed a handful of muddy weeds and stuffed them into his mouth. The Anshao twitched and died.
If it hadn't been for the dark night with strong wind and rain, Gao Muqing and Liang Qi's assassination operation would have been exposed, because there was a sound when the secret whistle fell, and the secret whistle on the right made a short cry before dying. Unfortunately, the sound of wind and rain The sight and hearing were blocked, and the three guys on the mountain path were being entangled by Lin Jue at the moment. They were scratching their necks and scolding Lin Jue. They ignored this opportunity to save their own lives.
The three of them yelled at this ignorant little guy, and even drew out their weapons to teach him a lesson. They had no idea that two black figures behind them had appeared from among the rocks and trees, touching each other. arrived behind them.
Gao Muqing's figure came the fastest. He really moved like a rabbit. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the three people on the left side. The steel knife in his hand waved a cold shadow in the dim light. The most ferocious guard on the left named Ye Ye He fell down after being hit by a knife in the back of his neck. The two people next to him realized it immediately and turned around in panic. Liang Qi got the opportunity and rushed forward with a knife. This time, Liang Qi did it cleanly and hit the neck with a knife. Blood spurted out from the right side. The man fell to the ground with a thud.
The guard in the middle reacted very quickly. He was originally going to meet the enemy, but suddenly he ran away. He shouted loudly and fled upward. Gao Muqing was so anxious that he stretched out his leg and the guard fell to the ground. Gao Muqing jumped forward, but it was too late to swing his knife. He reached out and grabbed the guard's neck to prevent him from shouting out. Then he twisted his hand hard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the guard's neck was forcibly cut by Gao Muqing. Broken.
Lin Jue just rushed forward and witnessed the scene in front of him. He swallowed hard. It was really weird to see a timid woman twisting someone else's neck in front of him. What if this happened in the future? He had offended her, and she just twisted her like this, and he was afraid that his neck was facing backward.
"What's going on? What happened down there?" On the arrow tower more than 20 steps away, several figures shook their heads and looked down. Gao Muqing's face turned pale. This man shouted just now, and he was obviously disturbed. The people on the arrow tower heard it.
"Let's go quickly, we've been discovered." Gao Muqing said hurriedly.
Lin Jue hurriedly whispered: "Don't panic."
"It's okay, it's okay, I fell down, haha. Death is raining down all the time, and I'm all drowned. It's better for you to be comfortable and shelter from the wind and rain," Lin Jue shouted.
"Oh, be careful. Brother, your back hurts when you stand and talk. It's windy and rainy here, and everyone is soaked. Damn it, they are all suffering. No one can blame you if you have nothing to do with hiding from the rain. It should be fine at this time
Something." The man on the arrow tower shouted.
"Brother, what I'm saying is that everyone has worked hard. Let's drink some other day and chat later." Lin Jue said with a smile.
The people on the arrow tower shook a few times, then shrank back.
Gao Muqing and Liang Qi's hearts were in their throats, but they were surprised to find that the people on the arrow tower seemed to turn a blind eye to the situation below, and they were very surprised.
Lin Jue explained in a low voice: "How can they see clearly when they look down with the light behind them? There are three of us standing down below, how can they tell who is who? The three dead guys are lying on the ground in darkness.
Huhu, no matter how good your eyes are, you can't see clearly, they may think they are three stones."
Gao Muqing smiled bitterly and was speechless. As the saying goes, a skilled person is brave. What he said may not be the truth, but what he admired most was his unfailing bearing. Sometimes it was this bearing that could turn danger into safety.
"Drag them into the grass and hide them. The body of the secret sentry cannot be left where it is. It is better for the patrol to find no one than to find the body..." Lin Jue shouted in a low voice.
The three of them dragged several corpses into the long grass beside the road as quickly as possible. They tore off three waist tags and replaced them with waist tags. They waited for a moment until everything on the arrow tower and around them calmed down before setting off.
