Gao Muqing bit her lower lip, feeling a little regretful in her heart. It was true that she had lost some composure, but wasn't that caused by Lang Jun? Don't say those nonsense, otherwise it would chill the hearts of the brothers.
Thinking of this, Gao Muqing stood up and left the table, walked to someone and saluted: "Brother Mu, today I finally understand that my original decision was wrong. Please forgive me for not sending troops to rescue your Taoyuan Dazhai, so that... Mr. Mu, the leader of the village
The Taoyuan Dazhai is in trouble with you. Mu Qing feels extremely guilty."
Only then did Lin Jue discover that Mu Buping was also present. He had fled to Luoyan Valley Dazhai to seek refuge after the Taoyuan Dazhai was breached. His head and face were now wrapped in blood-stained gauze, and his head must have been injured.
No wonder I didn't recognize him before.
Mu Buping hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "Master of the village must not do this. This is all the fault of the old thief Qin Donghe and has nothing to do with Master Gao. We are very grateful to you for taking us in. Qin Donghe called his name.
When I asked you to hand me over to him, didn't the Dazhai Master do the same? Dazhai Master, everyone in our Taoyuan Dazhai has never blamed Guizhai. Military Advisor Fang, the situation at that time was a bit complicated and cannot be generalized."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "Brother Mu is a generous and admirable man. Don't worry, I, Luoyangu Dazhai, will definitely avenge your father and the brothers of Taoyuan Dazhai."
Hearing this, Mu Buping bowed to the ground and said solemnly: "Mu Buping would like to thank the military advisor in advance. My Taoyuan Dazhai is gone. If Luoyangu Dazhai can avenge me, Mu Buping swears here.
I will always be loyal to Luoyan Valley Dazhai, before and after the saddle, without any second thoughts. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "But there is no need to swear, my brothers in Luoyan Valley are all like-minded people. If you are willing to come, we are brothers..."
Liang Qi and others said one after another: "That's it. We are brothers when we come. There is no need to swear."
Mu Buping nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily.
Liang Qi said to Lin Jue: "Military advisor, what you said means that you already have a clever plan to defeat the enemy? Tell us and we will feel more at ease."
Lin Jue waved his hand and sat down again. Everyone also returned to their seats. Everyone looked at Lin Jue, expecting his answer. Lin Jue said, "You haven't finished answering my question yet. How are the emotions of the brothers now?"
Liang Qidao: "The only problem now is that we are all tired from the continuous battle. Brothers, we also have few manpower, and the thief Qin Donghe is attacking day and night. Brothers will be stunned for a while before killing the enemy, so sleep well
There is no time for a single sleep. We, as well as the leader of the village, have not had a full night's sleep for more than half a month. Now I can fall asleep standing up."
Lin Jue glanced around and found that everyone had red eyes, was thin and hairy, and was extremely haggard. This must be the result of days of hard fighting. Qin Donghe had many men, so he could attack in turn, fearing that he was going to disturb Luoyan Valley.
No one can live in peace.
Lin Jue nodded and asked again: "Is the fortification arrow tower intact?"
Liang Qi glanced at Gao Muqing, who whispered: "The first and second fortifications have been breached by them, and the fortifications and arrow towers have been razed to the ground. Now we are holding back the third fortification halfway up the mountain. The situation on the west peak
Even more urgently, the third line of defense has also been broken through several sections. Brother Liang brought people to reinforce three days ago. Although they were repelled and Xifeng was saved, Brother Liang was also hit by an arrow in his ribs and almost lost his life.
.”
Lin Jue took a breath, the situation was really urgent. Qin Donghe and the others were determined to break through the stronghold. There were three fortifications on the east and west peaks. The first and second fortifications were actually extremely strong.
The third line of fortifications was worse. Qin Donghe's soldiers and horses actually broke through and destroyed the first two fortifications, which shows the fierceness of the previous offensive and the fierceness of the battle.
Liang Qi waved her hands and said with a smile: "I'm fine. If the bottom of my armor wasn't broken, that arrow wouldn't be fine at all. You son of a bitch, I'm still giving you face, but if this arrow shot my life and roots, that would be terrible.
Now, my Liang family doesn’t have a heir yet.”
Everyone burst into laughter, and Lu Yi, the leader of the fourth village, shouted: "Then if you don't hurry up and have a son with the leader of the fifth village, you have to work hard in your busy schedule, otherwise it may be bad, hahaha."
Everyone laughed again. Qin Chuncao spat with a red face: "A bunch of bastards, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing also laughed. The laughter stopped, and Lin Jue nodded and said: "I understand everything, and I have almost asked all the questions that need to be asked. It's late at night, I think we can stop here today, everyone can go
Get some sleep. Let’s talk in detail tomorrow.”
Liang Qi said in astonishment: "Commander, you haven't said how to defeat the enemy yet. Are you going to sleep now?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's too late. Brothers are so tired. I shouldn't have called you to talk at this time. If we continue to chat, won't we have to talk until dawn?"
Liang Qi shouted: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, so what if it's dawn? The military advisor just keeps saying it."
Qin Chuncao glared at Liang Qi and said, "It's embarrassing for you. The military advisor has come a long way and it's time to go and rest early."
Liang Qi shouted: "Didn't the military advisor just say that he is not tired?"
Qin Chuncao glared at him fiercely, then glanced at Gao Muqing, giving him a meaningful look. Only then did Liang Qi suddenly wake up. The leader of the village and the military advisor had reunited after a long absence, and they didn't know how much they had to say.
It's not good to drag the military advisor into talking all night. It would be too inappropriate.
"Okay, okay, you are right, let's disperse. Let the military advisor discuss the strategy to retreat the enemy tomorrow. Anyway, the military advisor has returned to the mountain, can we still run away? Let's disperse." Liang Qi laughed and stood up.
Everyone stood up one after another, bowed their hands to Lin Jue and Gao Muqing, and dispersed soon after.…
Calm has returned to the village. The night wind blows through the mountains, and the forest waves in the mountains are like seas, adding to the silence of the mountains at night. At the foot of the mountain, shouts of killing pierce the night sky from time to time. They are small groups of enemy troops harassing the fortifications below the East and West Peaks.
.The arrow shot away quickly and silently.
On the east side of Dazhai, in the boudoir of Gao Muqing, the leader of Dazhai, there is a lamp like a bean, and the light is dim. This is the first light in Gao Muqing's room in the past ten days. Gao Muqing has not come to the bedroom at night for more than ten days.
She fell asleep peacefully. She had been guarding the fortification ditch below. When she was sleepy, she would squint her eyes and stare on the ground for a while. But when there was an enemy attack, she was the first to rush out and fight. Countless enemy soldiers died in her hands.
number.
At this moment, she was not sleeping peacefully. She was sitting quietly under the lamp with her head bowed and silent. Opposite her, Lin Jue was sitting on a chair, looking at her quietly.
"Mu Qing!" Lin Jue called softly.
Gao Muqing moved but did not raise his head.
"Are you angry with me? I apologize to you. What I said just now... was so disrespectful to you." Lin Jue said softly.
Gao Muqing lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly, as if he was crying.
Lin Jue sighed softly, stood up and walked to Gao Muqing, caressing her shoulder and back and said: "If you feel wronged, just scold me. I really shouldn't have spoken like that in front of all the brothers. This will damage your prestige."
Damn. You should be angry."
Gao Muqing burst into tears and shook his head: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. I don't deserve to be the leader of this village. I didn't listen to you and didn't do what you said. I thought that
It’s for the good of the copycat and the brothers, but in fact it’s harming the copycat and the brothers. I...I feel so guilty. I don’t blame you.”
Lin Jue stretched out his hand to hold up her face, which was filled with tears and full of regret and grievance. At the edge of the bun, a scar extended into the hair, which was the scar left by Gao Muqing when he fought hard.
When Lin Jue saw the scar, he felt huge apology and love in his heart. He held Gao Muqing in his arms and kissed the tears on her face and the scar.
"I'm sorry, Mu Qing, you've suffered so much. I shouldn't have said that to you, but you have to understand that I actually meant something profound today. Mu Qing, if you feel unhappy, you can hit me or scold me." Lin Jue Zai
Gao Muqing whispered in his ear.
Gao Muqing stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Jue tightly, crying even harder.
Lin Jue found her red lips, kissed her carefully, and continued to comfort her. Gao Muqing responded gently, and all the grievances in her heart disappeared in the passionate kiss. After their lips parted, Lin Jue picked up Gao Muqing's body and sat on his knees.
Gao Muqing's face was flushed, and she clung tightly to Lin Jue's arms, softly telling her feelings of missing her after farewell.
"Husband, do you know how much I miss you? Every day as soon as I close my eyes, I see you in my dream. Every day, I go to the top of the mountain and look eastward at the valley, hoping that you will suddenly appear. To be honest, I really
I don't want to be the leader of this village anymore. I just want to leave here with you and live the most ordinary life. I'm tired of this life, I'm really tired." Gao Muqing sighed softly.
Lin Jue hugged her warm body tightly and said hoarsely: "I know, I miss you too. If you really don't want to be the leader of this village, I will take you away. At worst, you can change your appearance.
As long as no one recognizes you, it's okay."
Gao Muqing said happily: "Really? Are you really willing to take me away?"
Lin Jue stretched out his fingers, gently touched the corners of her lips as soft as petals, nodded and said: "Of course, how could I lie to you. You are my wife, and I have the responsibility to make you happy. I don't want you to have a bad life.
happy."
Gao Muqing was so excited that she hooked Lin Jue's neck and kissed her passionately. But soon, she gently left Lin Jue's lips and frowned.
"Hey, that's all, I'm just talking. What will happen to the brothers in Shanzhai when I leave? I can't ignore them. Especially in the current situation, how can I leave Shanzhai? They are all good brothers who have been through life and death.
How can I ignore them for my own selfish reasons? If I leave, the village will become a piece of sand."
Lin Jue was silent. Gao Muqing's words were not an exaggeration. Although Gao Muqing was not qualified to be the leader of the village, especially in terms of strategic planning, she was the one who united people's hearts in the entire Luoyan Valley village.
Tie. Most of the leaders of the village leaders are the old tribe of Guishan Island. They will only accept the leadership of one person, and that is Gao Muqing, the daughter of the old village leader. These days, everyone from the imperial court to the small family pays attention to it.
The same is true for bloodlines and cottages. It is natural for the daughter of the old village master Qin to be the master of the village. If someone else becomes the master of the village, some people will be dissatisfied. This may lead to hatred and division.
"Besides, I can't go with you. You are now an official in the court. If my identity is discovered, it will bring you big trouble. I don't want to change my life and wear a mask and cannot show my true face to others. I
Gao Muqing didn't do anything wrong, so why should he hide his face and hide his face?" Gao Muqing said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mu Qing, you think too much."
Gao Muqing tilted his head and looked at Lin Jue and said, "Am I wrong? Can I just walk away like this?"
Lin Jue looked at her beautiful eyes quietly, and after a while he whispered softly: "Mu Qing, do you want to ask me what I really think? I can tell you. Like you, I also want to live a peaceful and happy life, and I don't want to get involved in anything.
Causing ups and downs in this world. However, when one is born in this world, there are many difficult things. There are many responsibilities to bear. Just like I have responsibilities to the Lin family and the people around me. And you were responsible for
Guishan Island is now responsible for everyone in Luoyan Valley. Everyone is not easy and has helplessness. I know it is very hard, but maybe, this is the meaning of human life. How can things in the world be completely perfect?
At the same time, the moon waxes and wanes, and people are pessimistic. If you understand it clearly, you will have less entanglements and struggles. Although we are together less and less, our hearts are together. I believe that you and I are together.
There is always a time when we can stay together forever."
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue silently and nodded slightly.
"I don't mean that I don't want to take you away from the village. As long as you want to, I will take you away from here immediately, as long as you can let go of the ties in your heart. I hope you understand what I mean.
I don't want you to regret your decision again after you leave here." Lin Jue continued.
Gao Muqing smiled sweetly and nodded: "I understand what your husband means. You are right. The meaning of life is to take responsibility and do your part for the brothers around you. As far as I am concerned, if the village cannot prosper, all the brothers and
If the people in the village can live and work in peace and contentment, then I have not fulfilled my duty. Even after I leave here, I will definitely regret my decision. So, I have decided that I cannot leave. Unless everything in the village is on the right track, my departure
I can only leave here when it has no impact."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "You are right. The village can be without anyone, but it cannot be without you. At least for now. As for you and me, there is no need to be separated for a long time. If you miss me, you can go to the capital to find me.
It’s okay for me to stay in the village for a few months and then go back to the village.”
Gao Muqing said happily: "Is it true? Then I will appear by your side at any time in the future. I hope I won't scare you."
"It's too late for me to be happy, how could I be scared?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
Gao Muqing hugged Lin Jue's neck tenderly for a while, then suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked, "You just said that you had deep intentions for being angry with me in public today. What does that mean? Tell me."
Lin Jue moved his arms around her so that Gao Muqing could lie more comfortably in his arms. He chuckled and said, "Mu Qing, I know you are working very hard, and you have actually tried your best. But since you have taken on this responsibility,
You need to shoulder your responsibilities. You are the leader of the village, and your decisions have great influence. Everyone in the village is looking after you. Your decision is related to the attitude of the village and the life and death of many people, so you cannot shirk this responsibility. Today I
I said those words in front of everyone, not to embarrass you, but to express what is in my heart for my brothers."
"How do you say this?" Gao Muqing asked in surprise.
"Think about it, the situation has reached such a critical moment today, don't the brothers of the village master have any complaints in their hearts? It's just that they are unwilling to speak out out of sympathy. Since you are the master of the village, they have to take care of your face.
Secondly, they can't bear to accuse you. But with so many brothers dead and the situation so dangerous, they can't pretend that nothing is wrong. Keeping this kind of complaining feeling in your heart is definitely not conducive to the unity of Dazhai. Therefore, today,
What I said was just to say it out for them. As the saying goes: There is no poison in speaking out. If you really want to speak out, it will clear up the barriers in your heart. It is most appropriate for me to say these words, it is better than them being unable to hold back.
It's better to say it well. If they really can't help but accuse you, then your prestige will be completely disgraced. So, you have to understand that I am actually protecting you. I say what they want to say, their
Emotions have also been vented, which is an indirect way to alleviate conflicts, do you understand?" Lin Jue said softly.
Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue in surprise, nodded slowly for a while and said: "So that's your intention. You think so much, I wrongly blamed you."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "You are right to blame me. In fact, I wanted to give you a slap on the road. If you didn't listen to me, I was so angry that I wanted to beat you. Why didn't you say that?
Do you listen to me?"
Gao Muqing said angrily: "I know I was wrong. My husband really wants to hit me, so just give me a good beating. I promise not to fight back. How do you want to hit me?"
Lin Jue smiled, reached out and patted her butt twice and said, "Spank her twice and the matter will be over."
Gao Muqing's face turned red, and she twisted in Lin Jue's arms, squirming. Lin Jue's heart moved, and looking at Gao Muqing's red face, he felt like he was about to make a move. But he finally restrained his thoughts and said softly: "I'll take you to bed.
OK?"
Gao Muqing's breathing was a little rapid, and he said in a tired voice: "You... what do you want... to do?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's almost dawn, what else can you do? I think you are too tired, so you should have a good sleep."
Lin Jue said: "You are too tired, I can't bear it. They said you haven't slept well for more than ten days. Take the time to get some sleep. I will stay with you."
Gao Muqing said softly: "Then you hold me to sleep, I don't want to go to bed, I just want to... lie in your arms, it's very comfortable."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Okay, then just sleep like this. Close your eyes."
Gao Muqing obeyed and closed her eyes. Lin Jue leaned over and looked at her beautiful face, looking at it carefully. Suddenly, Gao Muqing opened his eyes, seemingly panicked, when he saw Lin Jue's face in front of him.
At this time, his expression immediately softened, he hugged Lin Jue's waist tightly, arched his head into Lin Jue's arms, and closed his eyes again.
In just a moment, Gao Muqing snorted and fell into a deep sleep. Lin Jue sighed softly, blew out the candle on the table, hugged Gao Muqing tightly and slowly closed his eyes.
