The dragon lantern dancing procession on the street was unaware, they didn't know what was happening, and the people were still bustling around the dragon lantern procession. Only Mu Buping's behavior of rushing to the opposite side caused a little commotion, but it was soon not taken seriously.

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing had already gotten up from the ground, and the five Mu Buping's subordinates lined up in a row, erecting three wooden shields to block the front, forming a protective barrier. The little leader Li Gou'er shouted, "Please hide behind us and don't move for the time being." We can only act when the dragon lantern team has passed. ”

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing naturally didn't dare to act rashly. The other party is in the dark, and he and others are in the light, and at this moment, only by doing a good job of defense is the safest. It's not wise to rush down into the crowd or run around in a panic. God knows if there's anyone on the other side in the crowd down there.

The gongs and drums were clanging, and the people on the street were still happily walking by. The dragon flew and went all the way. On one side, there are the lively and unconscious villagers, and on the other hand, there are a few people with shields erected on the stone steps of the street, all of which form a stark contrast.

Eventually, the crowd on the street was gone, and the noise became farther and farther away. The streets were empty, and a few wind lamps were swaying on the poles. The scene became more and more dangerous, and the hairs stood on end.

"Knock knock" There was a jumble of footsteps, and dozens of figures rushed from across the street. Li Gou'er saw the leading figure and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the young master who has returned." ”

Mu Buping rushed out of breath, and the number of soldiers following him was several times larger.

"What happened to the master of Gao Dazhai and the Fang military division?" Mu Buping shouted.

Lin Jue and Gao Muqing stood up and shouted, "It's okay. ”

Mu Buping walked up the steps quickly and arched his hand: "I'm very sorry that such a thing happened." ”

Lin Jue said: "Who is secretly releasing arrows?" Did anyone catch it? ”

Mu Buping smacked his lips and said: "The turtle son ran fast, we were blocked by the people on the street, and after rushing to the opposite side, we didn't see anyone." But I've ordered people to hunt down the streets. I believe that clues should be found. ”

Lin Jue was speechless, and actually let people run away, which shows that the internal security control of this Taoyuan Dazhai is not very good. If it is in Luoyan Valley Dazhai, once something happens, the night guards in the corners will immediately form a linkage to surround the area where the accident occurred, and no one will want to escape easily. And this Taoyuan Dazhai didn't even see a figure, which is really incredible.

"The master of Gao Dazhai was frightened, hey, I knew that I didn't agree with you to come to see this dragon dance. There was actually such a thing. Mu Buping frowned.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "In this way, it is our mistake. ”

Mu Buping blushed and said, "I didn't mean that, the two of you should hurry up and be escorted back to your residence by us." We will find out about this matter and give you an explanation. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's pretty much the same, we were attacked in your cottage, is it possible that we are to blame?" Please bring a lantern, I need to see the arrows on the door. ”

Lin Jue's words reminded Mu Buping, those arrows shot at the door were evidence, and Mu Buping almost forgot about it. The two guards came up with lanterns, and Lin Jue and Gao Muqing Mu Buping approached the wooden door to take a closer look, only to see a few short and slender arrows inserted in the wooden door. The tail feathers of the arrow were slender, and the shaft of the arrow was as thin as the barrel of a pen, and the exposed part of the wood was only four or five inches. The arrowhead was inserted deep into the wood.

"What kind of arrow is this? It's weird. Gao Muqing frowned.

Lin Jue's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "This is an arrow shot by a repeater's crossbow. As far as I know, repeaters are fired from an arrow magazine. The arrows in the case are as thin as the barrel of a pen, and the length is not long. But the rate of fire was extremely fast, and the beads were shot continuously, and the force within twenty or thirty paces was amazing. It's just that how did this repeater appear here? It's a rare thing to see outside. Master Mu Shaozhai, do you have this kind of repeater in your cottage? ”

Mu Buping frowned and shook his head: "We don't have it, this thing is too powerful." Our Dazhai is not even equipped with wooden bows, how can there be such a thing. ”

Lin Jue was silent, reached out and grabbed the exposed part of the crossbow arrow and pulled it out. But I don't have enough strength to pull it out. Mu Buping was strong, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and pulled out a crossbow arrow.

Lin Jue took it and looked at it carefully under the lamp, and the arrows between them were wrapped in bronze tips, a blue color. Lin Jue couldn't help but feel strange, and when he got closer, he smelled a fishy smell.

"Poisoned crossbow arrows! I don't know who is going to kill us. Lin Jue said coldly.

Mu Bu is not flat and iron-green, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen in Taoyuan Dazhai. Every time there is an alliance, Taoyuan Dazhai is on full alert, and no mistakes are allowed. Because the major village owners came here to meet the alliance, they naturally believed that Taoyuan Dazhai was the safest place. As long as there is a mistake, the reputation of Taoyuan Dazhai will be ruined. No one will dare to attend the next meeting. In this case, in fact, the already unreliable copycat alliance of Funiu Mountain will be dispersed. Once this loose alliance is lost, the cottages will go their own way, and the situation in the Funiu Mountains will be uncontrollable. For Taoyuan Dazhai, this alliance leader exists in name only.

"Gao Zhai Lord, Fang Junshi. I will personally escort you back to your dwellings, and I will send additional men to protect your dwellings. Please believe us, we will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. Mu Buping said in a deep voice.

Gao Muqing frowned and said nothing, but Lin Jue waved his hand and smiled.

"Young master, I don't think there is any need to investigate this matter. Nothing to look up. ”

Mu Buping frowned and said, "Master Fang doesn't believe in our ability and determination? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "That's not it. I mean, the intent of this is obvious, and there is no need to investigate it at all. I can even guess what someone moves. ”

"Oh? Does Master Fang know who did it? Mu Buping said in surprise.

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I didn't say this. I mean, it's not hard to deduce who did it. If you really want to look it up, I can give you some directions. ”

Mu Buping hurriedly said: "Please also ask Master Fang for guidance." ”

Lin Jue stared at the few poisonous crossbow arrows that were pulled out and muttered: "Master Mu Shaozhai, think about it, do we have any real grudges between the people of Luoyan Mountain Village and the owners of Funiu Mountain Village?" ”

Mu Buping thought for a while and said, "Then I'll tell the truth." You have indeed done a lot of things out of the ordinary since you came to our Funiu Mountain. You have broken the rules of my Barberry Mountain. even destroyed the Shiren Mountain Village and occupied a large area of mountain territory. When it comes to grudges, from the perspective of the big picture, you are indeed the enemies of all our copycats. But when it comes to personal grievances, our Funiu Mountain and your Guishan Island Dazhai have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, and even have some admiration for your Guishan Island Dazhai. Therefore, there is no personal vendetta to talk about. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said: "This is the most pertinent and fair thing I have ever heard, and the fact that Master Mu Shaozhai can say such a thing shows that he is open-minded." Well, since we don't have a real personal vendetta, there is no talk of using assassination as a means to deal with us. If you want to kill us, you can do it openly. Especially at this meeting, you can use us as a reason to break the rules in Funiu Mountain, and you will never use this kind of assassination against us. I'm not right. ”

Mu Buping nodded and said: "Of course, you people are in our cottage, if you want to take your life, you can do it directly, why use such despicable means?" Shoot with poisoned arrows in the shadows? ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Exactly, it's good that you understand this section." In other words, tonight's incident is really just a personal act, and it is not a resolution agreed by your alliance in the afternoon to get rid of me, right? ”

"Of course, after you left in the afternoon, our major village owners did discuss some things, but they did not want to kill you. I swear to God. Mu Buping said.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I believe, otherwise how could we still be standing here alive at this moment." It was confirmed that it was a personal act. Then the person who does it must be doing it for some purpose, or for some good. Let's think about it, if my lord and I die here tonight, who will be the best interested? ”

Mu Buping frowned and thought. Lin Jue smiled: "There will be multiple consequences for us to die here. First, I will have no possibility of reconciliation with the villages of Funiu Mountain, and I will fight with you endlessly. There will be a bloody storm in Funiu Mountain. And this account will be counted first on your Taoyuan Village, because we died in your Village. Our brothers will take revenge on you. Snipe and clam fight, who wins? I think that I am afraid that the people who are most dissatisfied with the order of Funiu Mountain and want to fish in troubled waters will profit from it. This is called blaming others. ”

Mu Buping was a little clear, and nodded heavily.

Lin Jue continued: "Second, another consequence after we die is that I will be attacked by people who will be attacked by others because the dragons of Luoyan Valley Dazhai have no leader, and the six gods have no master. Of course, in my opinion, this is impossible, and I have already explained it before I came here. Even if we die here, my Luoyan Valley Dazhai will operate normally and will not overturn. But some people may think that we are dead, and our Dazhai is gone. If that's the outcome, who benefits the most? Who wants to occupy our turf? Expand your power? I don't know who it is, maybe Master Mu Shaozhai knows. Whoever it was, he had great suspicions that he was behind the night. ”

Mu Buping sneered and said, "I know, I understand." I also have a choice in mind. It must be Qin Donghe's house. This dog thing has risen in strength in recent years, stirring up trouble everywhere, and has long since stopped taking our Taoyuan Dazhai in his eyes. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Is Master Mu Shaozhai sure it's him?" ”

Mu Buping said: "Nine times out of ten, it is him, but he also suffers from no evidence." Even if he moved his hand, he wouldn't admit it. ”

Lin Jue sighed: "Yes, you let the assassin escape, can you just question him now?" In that case, wouldn't he be bitten upside down? Forget it, send us back, it's better to keep quiet about this matter, and your rules are also set in vain. I don't know how many other cottage people are wandering outside, we have a big life this time, and we won't have such a good life when we encounter this matter again. Let's go. ”

Mu Buping heard the teasing meaning in Lin Jue's words, but he had nothing to say. Taoyuan Dazhai has indeed encountered many difficulties in recent years. In particular, after the food of the cottage could not be produced, many of the small and medium-sized cottages that had been closely united around Taoyuan Dazhai by receiving help and favor have turned their backs. In order to maintain its original status, Taoyuan Dazhai had to harshly exploit the villagers. In fact, now the people in the cottage are already complaining. Heifeng Village took the opportunity to win over various cottages, and dug up a lot of corners. Strength and ambition have risen together, and recently some cottages have been roped in to compete for the position of alliance leader. So nine times out of ten, this incident was done by Qin Donghe of Black Wind Village. However, even so, there is nothing to do about him.
