(2-in-1.) There is no change. ）

The leaders of the battalions changed their staff, and the overall situation quickly stabilized. Although Qiu Biao was indeed very famous when he was alive, the people in the cottage were also in awe of him. But now that he is dead, as soon as people die, all the previous things have come to naught, and it is common sense that Qiu Biao used to lure people to gain and disperse people.

The cottage soon set off an action to expose Qiu Biao's crimes. The bandits were indignant about Qiu Biao and others' persecution and poison against them, and they tearfully accused the murderer and careerist who killed the old village owner. The most exposed, and the most vicious words, are actually those who have gone closest to Qiu Biao and others in the past. As the so-called wall falls down and everyone pushes it, the despicability of human nature is often the most obvious and ridiculous at this time.

Gao Muqing wanted to stop this kind of behavior, but Lin Jue told her that she didn't have to stop it, not only did not stop it, but encouraged them to carry out the matter vigorously. first criticized Qiu Biao, Li An and others, nailed them to the pillar of shame forever, and then carried out internal exposure, and comprehensively eliminated the duplicity in the cottage. Only in this way can the cottage be truly pure, and will make her position as the owner of the village more stable.

Gao Muqing was shocked by this suggestion, but she still adopted Lin Jue's suggestion. Because she also realized that the cottage had suffered a huge loss after this incident. People's hearts are already a little sluggish, and we must eliminate the poison as soon as possible and gather people's hearts. At this time, even if it is not a conventional move, it is also appropriate. Although high-pressure and mutual exposure are not a good way, this time the copycat people have become cautious and behave properly. Although this is contrary to his vision of hoping that the Guishan Island cottage is a paradise, it is a way to consolidate his authority and fully control the cottage at this time.

In the early afternoon, in the pine forest of the back mountain. There are two new tombs next to Gao Yuankui's tomb, which are the graves of Zhao Shanyue and Ma Mingde. Last night, in order to get Gao Muqing to order to be shot, the feat of the two of them did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to be admired. These two people have been loyal to Gao Yuankui since the beginning of the establishment of the cottage, and in the end they gave their lives for this cottage. Gao Yuankui's cemetery was originally an independent cemetery, but burying the two of them next to Gao Yuankui at this moment should be the greatest praise and consolation for them.

Gao Muqing burned incense and paper in front of the graves of the two and bowed, and said softly: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Ma, everyone in the cottage on Guishan Island will remember you." You have worked hard all your life, and you can rest well now. Izumixia and my father get together, and the three of you brothers can drink and laugh together again. Mu Qing will come to worship you from time to time, and if you have anything to eat and drink, you will come by dream. Mu Qing will give it to you. Your family will also take good care of them, and the two uncles can rest assured. ”

Zhao Shanyue's youngest grandson, Zhao Hu'er, also knelt aside, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you miss Grandpa Gao all day long?" Now that you're going to see Grandpa Gao with Grandpa Ma, you must be very happy. Grandpa, we don't worry about you suffering in the underworld, you told Hu'er, saying that in the future, Grandpa will die and go to the underworld, if the little ghost of Yama bullies you, you and Grandpa Gao will fight together to fight the Yama Palace and occupy the mountain as the king. Grandpa, if you do it, you have to give a dream to Hu'er, so that Hu'er will be happy and happy. ”

Zhao Hu'er's words changed the entire sad atmosphere in an instant, and even Zhao Hu'er's father, Zhao Shanyue's eldest son Zhao Daoping, almost laughed out loud, and was busy coughing and holding back. Lin Jue couldn't help but almost laugh out loud when he listened to it again. This Zhao Shanyue actually thought about making the king of Yama after death, although it was a joke, but it also showed his heroic spirit of not being afraid of heaven and earth.

Come to think of it, the people in this Guishan Island cottage are not reckless. Gao Yuankui, Zhao Shanyue, Ma Mingde, or even that Qiu Biao, which one is not a well-known figure. The outside world calls them bandits, but in fact, these bandits are not much worse than those officials and gentry, and even surpass them in intelligence and morality. Not to mention anything else, let's take the Lin family as an example, when Lin Boyong kicked himself out of the Lin family at a time of crisis, he compared his behavior of throwing himself out of the Lin family and Zhao Shanyue Ma Mingde's behavior of sacrificing himself to death at a critical time, and made a judgment on his conduct. The bandits still know how to sacrifice themselves to protect everything they want to maintain, and Lin Boyong keeps saying that he wants to protect the children of the Lin family, but it is just an empty word.

After burying Zhang Shanyue and Ma Mingde, Gao Muqing was promoted to the seat in the Juyi Hall. In front of everyone, he once again recounted the process and evidence of Qiu Biao's killing of the old village owner, and detailed the process of killing Qiu Biao last night. Many of them were there at the time, and they had experienced it firsthand, and they still had lingering fears when they remembered what happened last night.

Gao Muqing announced the promotion of Zhao Shanyue's eldest son Zhao Daoping as the owner of the second cottage. Ma Mingde's son Ma Songlin is a cottage military division, although the qualifications and prestige of these two people are far from enough, but with the feat of their father last night, they naturally become candidates to be vigorously promoted. These two people don't have any notoriety on weekdays, and there is nothing to say about promotion at this time. All battalions and outposts have also appointed new leaders, and Gao Muqing asked them to clean up the soldiers and horses, eliminate the poison, launch mutual exposure and reporting, and must not let Qiu Biao's henchmen get through the test in the dark.

It was not until the evening that Gao Muqing returned to his residence. The small building is no longer inhabitable, and although it has been cleaned up, the hall still smells of blood, and there are blood stains everywhere. Fortunately, there are many houses in the back garden, so Gao Muqing lived in a room in the back garden and became neighbors with Lin Jue.

When he was holding the lamp, Lin Jue was gossiping with Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others in his room, and when Ma Bin and Shen Tan were forced to ask him what he used to hit Qiu Biao's head, Gao Muqing ordered someone to invite Lin Jue to talk.

When Lin Jue took a shower and changed his clothes and came to Gao Muqing's residence in Dongshou, Gao Muqing was sitting in front of a table of wine and food in a daze. Seeing Lin Jue come in, Gao Muqing hurriedly smiled and got up to salute. When he looked up and saw Lin Jue, Gao Muqing's eyes lit up.

Ever since he met Lin Jue, he had been bloated and sloppy. At this time, Lin Jue was wearing a simple blue cotton robe, but he was a beautiful young man, and he was like two people with the previous image.

Gao Muqing glanced at it twice, and his face turned red. She actually already knew that Lin Jue was wearing armor in his clothes at the beginning, and it was because of this that he escaped. But what she didn't expect was that after changing her image, Lin Jue was actually such a handsome young man.

"So much food and drink? Great, I've been hungry for a day. Lin Jue sat down unceremoniously, grabbed his chopsticks and was about to do it. Suddenly stopped: "Are there any more guests?" Do you have to wait for guests? ”

Gao Muqing sat down lightly and said with a smile: "There are no guests, the guests are you." This table of food and drinks is all about treating you. Your friends will also serve a table of good food and wine in a while, so you don't have to worry about them. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said: "I don't care about them, when I was working in the cottage, they had nothing to do outside." It stands to reason that they should eat leftovers. ”

Gao Muqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Aren't you friends who come up to the mountain together?" How can you say such things? ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "I'm not friends with them, I came here as a last resort." Of course, they have to come, but we just have the same purpose, but we are not the same kind of people. They are the people of the government and the prince, and I am just me, a nobody of the Lin family in Hangzhou. We parted ways when we got out of here, and I wasn't going to get involved with them. ”

Gao Muqing said curiously: "It turns out that you are not from the government, you really came here for your Lin family, I thought you were lying." ”

"Naturally, it's true, but in fact, it's also for myself, I angered Lord Liang for some reason, and the prince wants to deal with me. It happened that this happened, and in order to make up for it, I volunteered to gamble. Besides, this matter also involves my Lin family, and I can't sit idly by. ”

Gao Muqing was even more curious, and asked in detail. Lin Jue didn't hide it, drinking the wine poured by Gao Muqing, while eating vegetables, he babbled about what he did in Hangzhou. Gao Muqing listened quietly, his eyes looked at Lin Jue's slightly red face for a moment, and said in his heart: Where are you a scholar, can you still be regarded as a scholar for all these things you do?

"It turns out that this year's Oiran of Hangzhou Mansion was picked up behind your back, you really have the ability. That Miss Xie Yingying must have been born very beautiful. Gao Muqing said softly.

Lin Jue was already slightly drunk, and said with a smile: "Beauty is naturally beautiful, if the Oiran is not beautiful, is it still called an Oiran?" ”

"You like her?"

"I don't like it, I just admire her. I like someone else. ”

"You mean that junior sister of yours? The girl Fang who was seriously ill? Gao Muqing asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"It's her, and I've decided to marry her if I have the life to go back this time." Lin Juedao.

"But she won't live for a few years, and you still want to marry her?" Gao Muqing looked away and said softly.

"Even if she only has one day to live, I will marry her. I promised her. Lin Jue said softly.

Gao Muqing smiled and said, "This Fang girl must be a peerless beauty." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "It's not bad, but it's not a peerless beauty." She is well-read and courteous, and her personality is gentle and lovely, which is what I like about her. ”

"Do you like gentle women who are well-read and courteous, and hate women who wield guns and sticks?" Gao Muqing drank another glass of wine.

Lin Jue suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the conversation, there was no need to talk too much to Gao Muqing about such private matters. I should have told her about the business.

"Lord Dazhai, if you are interested in these things, we will discuss them later. I don't know if the owner of Dazhai can order someone to find out if the birthday gift is okay? We have an agreement before, and the time is very urgent, and I want to leave the island tomorrow with the birthday boat, and this matter cannot be delayed, otherwise it will cause big trouble. ”

Gao Muqing drank another glass of wine by herself, and muttered without answering.

Lin Jue frowned and said: "The master of the village doesn't want to regret it, this joke can't be made." ”

Gao Muqing's face turned red after drinking several glasses of wine in a row, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Jue and said, "Are you in such a hurry to leave?" ”

Lin Jue was stunned and said: "I told you, the time limit has been agreed, if the time is over, King Liang will order the water army to storm the cottage, wouldn't it be bad?" ”

"The two birthday gifts are in good condition, and the big ship is also in good condition. You can leave with them at any time. Are you satisfied? Gao Muqing said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue was a little puzzled, Gao Muqing seemed to have some emotions, I didn't know where I offended her, or if Gao Muqing was in a bad mood after today's incident. Lin Jue felt that it was better for her to talk less, since she would not break the contract, then she would quickly say goodbye after checking that the gift was okay tomorrow, and she would have a lot of dreams at night.

Lin Jue lowered his head and ate and drank wine, Gao Muqing sat there quietly staring at the candle flame, and the atmosphere suddenly became very embarrassing. Lin Jue felt that he couldn't stay any longer, and after taking a few bites, he was about to get up and say goodbye. However, Gao Muqing suddenly spoke softly.

"Young Master Lin, I haven't officially thanked you yet. If you hadn't come to the cottage, I wouldn't have known about my father's murder by a traitor. Mu Qing officially thanked you. Gao Muqing stood up, his body swaying slightly and saluting Lin Jue.

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "No need to be polite, I said it earlier, this time it is for you and me." You have to thank me, and I have to thank you. So you're welcome. ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "Those are two different things, the hatred of killing my father is not shared, how can it be compared to other things." You also helped me save the cottage from falling into the hands of others and being used to participate in the rebellion. That would be enough to close the deal. ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "That's just a convenient way, the key is your arrangement, the master of the village, I'm just adding fuel to the fire." ”

"Call me Mu Qing, okay? I actually don't like the title of Dazhai master. Especially if you call me that. Gao Muqing's red lips spit a slight smell of wine, and said softly.

Lin Jue smiled silently, and Gao Muqing smiled bitterly: "I can see that apart from this transaction, you don't plan to have anything to do with me, a female bandit." It's no wonder that I was born as the daughter of the bandit leader, and in the future I will still be the owner of this cottage, and Lin Gongzi is an outsider, so he naturally stays away. I understand, I understand. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Dazhai...... Mu Qing, you think too much. Naturally, I'm willing to make friends with you, I'm different from others, I don't care what bandits are or aren't bandits. In fact, I've been thinking that these people in the cottage of Guishan Island have shocked me a lot, whether it is the two leaders who sacrificed their lives to die, or these female guards around you, their fearlessness and loyalty are eye-catching. People in the outside world don't necessarily have such qualities. I have a deep respect for them. ”

Gao Muqing's eyes flashed and he looked at Lin Jue and said, "Are you telling the truth?" What about me? What kind of person do you think I am? ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Mu Qing, do you want to listen to the truth?" ”

Gao Muqing nodded and said, "Of course, who likes to listen to lies." ”

Lin Jue said: "Then I'll say a few words from my heart." I think that this Guishan Island cottage should not continue to exist, and you should not continue to be the owner of the village. I know it's very abrupt to say this, but if you think about it, the Guishan Island cottage is too fierce, and the imperial court will have to act sooner or later, and you and those people in the cottage will not be spared. I'm not asking you to disband the cottage, I mean, you should seize the opportunity to transform the cottage, Zhao'an is also a way, low-key transformation is also a way, in short, the Guishan Island cottage can no longer cause wind and rain. Otherwise, none of the people in this whole cottage will survive. ”

Gao Muqing frowned and was silent, and Lin Jue continued: "For you personally, this cottage is a cage, and the position of the owner of the village is a shackle. Aside from this island, the world out there is so big that you can't stay here for the rest of your life. Besides, I personally think that you are actually completely different from your father and Qiu Biao, and you can't tie your whole life here. ”

"However, this cottage is my father's brainchild, how can I give up? There are so many people in the cottage who need protection, should I give them up? Wouldn't it be a failure for everyone? Gao Muqing picked up his glass again.

Lin Jue reached out and pressed the back of her hand, shook his head and said, "You were injured last night. I know the injury is very serious, don't drink too much. ”

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue's hand and slowly put down the wine glass.

"Your father is forced to be helpless, if you have a choice, your father will never want to be left behind. Personally, I'm not biased about this, but your dad doesn't want you to continue his way. This can be seen from his behavior of preparing to train Qiu Biao as his successor at the beginning. And Yun Haiqing also said that your father's mind is thinking about recruiting and justifying the name of the cottage. If you have other ideas, you are not betraying your father's expectations, but rather what he wants. I dare to say it again, your father's ideas are actually unrealistic, this cottage will either grow, just like Hai Dongqing and them, and the court will be helpless against them. Or you will perish, because if you do not grow stronger, the court will eat you. Transformation is not a good strategy. It may take a lot of chance to change people's views on copycats. In short, whether you are a copycat or you personally, you should think about it. ”

Gao Muqing didn't say anything, and after a long silence, he smiled and said: "Thank you for telling me so much, I now believe that you treat me as a friend, if you don't think about it seriously, I'm afraid you won't be able to say so much truth." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "I naturally regard you as a friend." We went to church last night, hahaha. ”

Gao Muqing's face flushed, and Lin Jue suddenly felt that he shouldn't make this joke, after all, he was not familiar with Gao Muqing to the point where he could be teased at will.

"Yes, we worshipped, you can't ignore me, you know more than me, if I have something to ask you in the future, you can't refuse. Otherwise, it is unrighteousness. Gao Muqing said with a smile.

Lin Jue nodded and said, "As long as I can help, I will never refuse." ”

Gao Muqing nodded and said, "Remember your words, don't regret it when the time comes." So, there's a question for me right now. What did you use to kill Qiu Biao last night? Don't tell me you killed him with real skills. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "I'm afraid you want to ask this question this day, but you didn't have the time to do it?" Of course, I won't hide it from you, I use a musket. ”

"Muskets? What musket is so powerful? ”

Lin Jue slowly reached into his arms, took out a square leather box from his arms, and after untying the rope, he lifted the lid of the leather box, and there was a strangely shaped black thing lying there inside.

Lin Jue picked up the object and put it in front of Gao Muqing and said, "This is the musket, I call it the 'Wang Ba Box'." This is the barrel, this is the trigger, this is the stone, this is where the gunpowder is applied. There were iron eggs in the packet. Child. I fell in the corner after Qiu Biao punched me last night, and when he rushed up, I shot him in the face with this Wang Ba box, and that's it. ”

"Wang Ba...... Box? Gao Muqing looked at that thing with a smile and a smile, she really didn't know why this thing was so powerful. It's not like she's never seen a firearm, but she's never seen anything like it.

"There's no way, I have to be prepared to come to your Longtan Tiger's Den. In addition to the armor on my body, I need a weapon that can kill me in one hit. I don't know anything about swords, guns and sticks, and my fists and feet are even weaker, so I can only figure out such a thing on my body, and you can understand it as a hidden weapon. That's right, the hidden weapon. It's just that the movement is relatively large. Please keep this matter secret for me, it's boring for everyone to know that I have this thing, even Ma Bin Shen Tan and them, pestered me for a day and asked, I didn't tell them. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Gao Muqing nodded and said: "I understand, the secret weapon is naturally not known to others, you can tell me, it shows your trust in me." I'll keep it a secret for you. ”

Lin Juezhen took the Wang Ba box and put it in his arms, the box was not big, and he couldn't see it at all when he put it on his body. The two sat opposite each other under the lamp, and suddenly they were a little speechless, and the atmosphere fell silent.

After a long time, Lin Jue broke the silence and said softly: "I'm leaving tomorrow, does the master of the village have anything else to say to me?" ”

Gao Muqing looked up at Lin Jue and said with a smile: "What if I don't let you go?" ”

"What? Dazhai master, I said, there is a time limit, if it is ......"

"Shouli can go, what if I want you to stay?" Gao Muqing plucked up his courage and said.

Lin Jue's heart moved, and he immediately smiled: "Does Dazhai want me to fall into the grass?" If you really fall into the grass, it is also a good choice. One day, I can't get mixed up outside, so I come to the master of the big village, and ask the master of the village to take me in. ”

Lin Jue's words were purely a joke, but he also cleverly avoided this question. Gao Muqing sighed silently, and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, people like you have a great future in the future, how can you be reduced to the point of falling into the grass." Lin Gongzi, I toast you, and then went to heal and rest, I haven't closed my eyes until last night, and my spirit is very bad. I'll accompany you to see the birthday boat early tomorrow morning, if you want to go...... We will be able to leave tomorrow morning. ”

Gao Muqing picked up the wine glass and signaled to Lin Jue, Lin Jue thanked him and drank it all, Gao Muqing stood up and blessed slightly, and called a female guard in a coquettish voice, and Gao Muqing took her shoulder.

Lin Jue watched her back leave, and for some reason, he was uneasy. He sat down slowly, thinking about Gao Muqing's performance tonight while drinking, and felt that Gao Muqing was a little strange tonight. She was originally a woman with strong martial arts skills, and her temperament was also very hard, but for some reason, she always felt a little pitiful tonight, and she stopped talking.

Lin Juelian drank a few glasses of wine, and finally got up and prepared to leave. The moment he stepped out of the door, Lin Jue suddenly remembered a detail. Gao Muqing was wearing the wedding dress that he was wearing last night. She didn't wear it during the day, it was just changed when she invited herself, and although the fight last night had damaged the dress in many places, she still wore it on her body.

Lin Jue felt something, and suddenly turned to look at the candles on the candlestick. On the candlestick, the two red candles were burning, and I didn't even notice this just now.

Red candles, happy clothes, Gao Muqing's words tonight. All this made Lin Jue's heart feel something, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
