Under the cliff on the east side of the island, seven or three people, Lin Jue, Gao, Mu Qingliang, were walking along the rocks under the cliff. The waves were coming in waves. Although they were side waves, they were still powerful under the impact of the rocks.
Due to the shape of Peach Blossom Island, the farther south you go, the more the cliffs become oblique, allowing hurricanes blowing from the southeast to hit the cliffs head-on. The strong winds brought huge obstacles to the three people's movements.
.
But there is also an advantage. Amidst the splashing waves, the whereabouts of the three of them are even more difficult to detect under the cover of the tide and rocks. Even the bandit soldiers on Big Bird Island facing the East Cliff, looking down from a high position, are just a blur.
You can see just three small black spots under the cliff. Unless you observe carefully, you would think that they are just three driftwoods struck by the tide.
The reason why the three people went south was to find the pier on the east side of the island. The cliffs on the east side of the island are taller than the cliffs elsewhere, and are exposed to wind, water, sun and rain all year round, making the cliffs extremely smooth. Here,
In this case, Lin Jue rejected Gao Muqing's request to climb to the top of the cliff and chose to find a pier to climb up. Although this was risky, Lin Jue thought it was worth it.
The rope bridge connects just below the east cliff of the island, which is where the East Pier is. This is where the cliff breaks, and below is a small recessed bay. For the small boats used by pirates, this is
It is a natural haven. And with only a little digging on the break of the cliff, there will be a road leading to the top of the cliff.
Normally, there are bandits guarding this place. But at this moment, the small piece of flat land under the pier is empty. It is impossible for bandits to hide in the mangroves hit by the waves. What needs to be worried about is the arrow towers on both sides of the cliff.
The bandit soldiers above.
Lin Jue decided to take a desperate risk, betting that no one would brave the storm and rain from the arrow tower to monitor the bottom of the pier at this moment. So the three of them tried to hide themselves as much as possible and approached the flat land for landing on the island along the reefs around the bay.
They want to board the island from the stone steps in a swaggering manner.
However, just as the three of them stepped onto the flat ground and walked toward the stone steps, a voice of shouting suddenly came from the cliff on one side.
"For what?"
Lin Jue and others were stunned. They didn't expect that there were actually people here. They had just been observing for a long time to make sure that no one dared to show up, but they didn't expect to miss it. Just under the cliff on the south side sheltered from the wind, several bandit soldiers
He was huddled in a gap under the cliff to avoid the wind and rain. The black clothes he wore happened to be the same color as the cliff. It was also because of the angle that it was covered by a tree, so he didn't notice it.
The bandit soldiers were looking at the three people in front of them in surprise. These three people were dressed very strangely. Some of them were half-clothed and had cloth strips wrapped around their heads and bodies. Their shapes were very strange. Therefore, they felt that they were very strange.
strangeness.
Gao Muqing and Liang Qi's first reaction was to retreat, but Lin Jue shouted loudly: "The Yangtze River flows eastward into the sea."
"Go to the top of the Five Mountains." The bandit soldier on the opposite side subconsciously answered the command.
"Hahaha, we are on our own, we are on our own." Lin Jue laughed and greeted him.
Several bandit soldiers also felt a lot more relaxed. They looked at Lin Jue and the others who were approaching with strange eyes and said, "Don't come close. Just stand there. What's wrong with you? Are you brothers from that battalion?"
Lin Jue sighed: "Hey, don't mention it. We have suffered a serious crime and escaped from death. We are the guards of the underground warehouse and just escaped from the cave."
"Ah? You are the guards of the underground warehouse? Can you still come out alive?" Several bandits asked in shock.
Lin Jue said: "Isn't it? He survived the catastrophe."
"Come on, come on, tell us. I heard that the entire warehouse collapsed, and the floor of the warehouse sank into a big pit. It was like the sky was falling apart. How can you still come out alive?" Several bandit soldiers were very interested. Under this cliff,
I was already bored, so when I suddenly heard this news, I naturally wanted to ask more questions.
Lin Jue approached the cliff with a smile, and a bandit soldier kindly said: "Come on, come on, take shelter from the rain, come over here."
Lin Jue smiled and walked over to stand beside him. Several bandit soldiers stretched their necks and looked at Lin Jue.
Lin Jue said: "Do you want to know why we came out alive? It's a long story. To put it simply, there is a hole leading to the sea, and we came out along the hole. That's why we are like this, with all the clothes on our bodies rubbed.
It’s become a rope.”
"Oh, that's it." Only then did several people understand why these three people were half-clothed. One of them had quite white skin. Both of them were only wearing pants and bare upper body. However, this white-skinned brother still had a pair of clothes.
The top was on, and the chest was still bulging. Several bandit soldiers couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
"Not only that, we also got a treasure." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Ah? Baby?" Several bandit soldiers' eyes gleamed.
"Yeah, I don't know who was hiding in the cave. We found it when we came out and brought it out. Do you want to open your eyes?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, open your eyes, open your eyes," the bandits said repeatedly.
"Those who see it should have a share. This is ill-gotten wealth." A bandit soldier with a dark face and thick lips shouted.
"It is said that those who see the ill-gotten gains will have their share." All the bandit soldiers said one after another.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "No problem, everyone who sees it will have a share."
The bandit soldiers did not expect Lin Jue to be so cheerful, and suddenly burst into cheers. Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Don't make noise, there are other brothers around. If everyone hears it and comes to share a share, it won't be much.
Already."
"Don't worry, all the people have been taken away today. I'm afraid you don't know yet. The officers and soldiers are here and are attacking the northwest pier. All the people here have been taken away. There are hundreds of people moving things on the cliff, but below
If there's a quarrel, they won't be able to hear it. It's better to take out the treasure quickly." A bandit soldier said loudly.
"Oh. There are no other brothers around. You can't hear from above, that's great." Lin Jue said meaningfully. He glanced at Gao Muqing and Liang Qi.
Gao Muqing and Liang Qi didn't know what Lin Jue was doing. How could he say that he had a treasure? But they already understood the intention of Lin Jue's question. Since there was no one else around, they were about to take action.
Secretly prepared.
"Everyone, open your eyes, I'm going to bring out the treasure." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Jue. Lin Jue reached out to his waist and took the sealed leather case of the tortoise box hanging in his hand. Everyone's eyes were focused on this leather case. Lin Jue slowly
He opened the leather case and took out the tortoise box from inside.
"This... what kind of treasure is this?" The bandit soldiers had never seen this thing before, but looking at the weird appearance, it was like a lump of iron, and they couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I'm afraid some brothers don't know the goods. I'm here to demonstrate to you. Take a look." Lin Jue said as he loaded the ammunition quickly. After many trainings, Lin Jue's loading movements were so skillful that he blinked.
It's ready in no time.
"This brother just said that everyone who meets you has a share, right?" Lin Jue looked at the dark-faced and thick-lipped bandit soldier and smiled. "This first share will be given to you."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jue raised the tortoise box and pulled the trigger in the face of the black-faced and thick-lipped bandit. With a loud bang, the bandit's head fell back and hit the rock wall hard without even a groan.
He fell to the ground.
"Amazing! They have ghosts." A person from behind shouted. Just after he shouted, he suddenly felt a cold hand hooked his chin from behind. Suddenly a strong force came and he heard his neck breaking.
The sound of rattling made my soul fly into the sky the next moment.
Gao Muqing broke the neck of one of the bandit soldiers. When the bandit soldier fell, Gao Muqing took the steel knife from his waist and slashed it down twice. The two bandit soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
Next to him, Liang Qi activated at the same time, strangled the neck of a bandit soldier from behind, and then slammed him against the rock wall. The bandit soldier's forehead shattered and he fell to the ground.
In just a short moment, five of the six bandit soldiers were dead. Gao Muqing killed three people, Lin Jue and Liang Qi each killed one person. Although the remaining bandit soldier drew his steel knife, he was surrounded by three people.
The inside of the cliff trembled.
"You still want to resist?" Lin Jue shouted.
With a "clang" sound, the knife in the bandit's hand fell to the ground.
"Spare... spare my life!" The bandit fell to his knees.
Lin Jue said: "How many people are there on the top of the cliff?"
"There are...more than 400 people, all of them are...carrying supplies."
"Do they all know you?"
"No... I don't know them. They are brothers who specialize in transporting supplies and food. They are... people sent by the military adviser." The bandit soldier said tremblingly.
"Okay, I don't want to kill you, but I'm afraid you'll leak the news. What should I do?" Lin Jue said.
The bandit soldier seemed to suddenly wake up and said, "Oh, I know what to do, I understand."
The bandit soldier got up and suddenly bumped his head against the cliff. He fell to the ground like a piece of rotten wood. Lin Jue and the other three were startled by his actions. Liang Qi stepped forward to check. The bandit soldier's forehead was
Seeing blood, people have fainted.
"This kid is really cruel, but how can I keep you?" Liang Qi scolded.
Gao Muqing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Since he's already like this, just let him live."
Liang Qi had no choice but to stop and thought to himself: "The leader of Dazhai kills people without blinking an eye, how can he be so heart-warming as a Bodhisattva?"
Lin Jue didn't care about the life or death of this bandit. He only cared about what he had to do. He said in a deep voice: "Let's take off some clothes and put them on, and go up and do the work."
The three of them hurriedly took off the clothes of several corpses and put them on. Finally, they had clothes to cover their bodies, and they felt a lot more comfortable. Wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, carrying swords on their shoulders, the three of them transformed into three seamen again.
bandit.
"This guy said that the people above didn't know them, so it would save them a lot of trouble later. After going up, Mu Qing was responsible for cutting the zipline, and Brother Liang and I left it alone and found a forest to hide in.
Otherwise, she will be a burden to her. Mu Qing, I can only rely on you to do this. Go over there in a big way, cut off the rope and run away, don't be reluctant to fight. In this weather, if they want to re-stretch the rope, they may not have half a day to do it.
No. This is all we can do. It would be good to delay them for a few hours," Lin Jue said.
Gao Muqing nodded and said: "Don't worry, you two be careful. I remember there is a dense forest under the cliff, let's meet there."
The three of them had decided on a plan. They cut a few piles of branches to cover the corpses and the unconscious bandit soldier, and walked up the stone steps in a swagger.
