Volume 2 Looking for Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 115 The red face is a bandit
Lin Jue walked on the road on the right with the cloth on his shoulder, although it was quiet and silent. The further he went, the more Lin Jue felt that the scenery here was a little different. Since entering the cottage, there are either stone houses or arrow towers as far as the eye can see, but when you reach the top of the mountain, there are not many houses around, but there are more trees.
The trees here are not just pines and cypresses, but they are diverse. Lin Jue even saw a large bamboo forest on the side of the road. The dense bamboo leaves are rustling in the sunlight and verdant. There are also a variety of different flowers and trees, which seem to be pruned by someone and maintain a good posture. There are even some specially planted flower beds on the side of the road, and although there are no flowers in this season, many of the flowers and trees are still spreading their branches and leaves, and there is no sign of wilting.
Lin Jue didn't think it was strange, after all, this was a place that had been in business for 20 years, a place to live for a long time rather than a place for temporary storage, so in the past 20 years, he must have made some regularization and made some livable landscapes. The Great Zhou Dynasty was a delicate era, the wind of the Jiangnan garden was popular, even in the countryside, in the ordinary courtyard of the people, there would be some flowers and plants, and some vertical door flower arches, which was something in the bones, and the bandits could not be exempted. Not to mention that the current residence here is a woman, although she is a female bandit, she is still a woman.
After bypassing a large bamboo forest, the scene in front of him made Lin Jue's mouth open in shock, what he never expected was that there was still this scenery in front of him on the peak of this island. He found himself standing on the shore of a sizable lake. This is by no means artificially excavated, looking at the scale and area this is beyond the reach of manpower, this is a natural lake within an island.
Lin Jue stood on the east shore of the small lake in a daze, and as far as his eyes could see, the undulating silhouette of the green trees that surrounded the shore of the small lake in the distance. In the distance, on the highest point opposite the shore of the lake, a temple stood majestically, a large flag pierced the sky, and a large yellow flag was fluttering in the blue sky in the distance. Lin Jue immediately recognized that place, which was the highest place where the Juyi Hall was located, and to the north of the Juyi Hall was the flat land of the mountain behind the cliff, and it was also the burial place of Gao Yuankui, the owner of the old village. Lin Jue had looked up at the huge flag many times at the edge of the woodland, so he recognized it at once.
Lin Jue slowly retracted his gaze, only to realize that there was a small stone railing bridge in front of him that spanned a small protrusion of the lake that was not wide, connecting a road leading to the green trees opposite. In the shade of the green trees, a small building shows half of its outline, with hanging legs and cornices, and red lacquered columns, which looks very exquisite. Lin Jue immediately realized that this should be Gao Muqing's residence.
After calming down, Lin Jue walked up the stone fence bridge step by step and came to the opposite side. Through the shade of the trees, he slowly approached the courtyard in front of the small building. To Lin Jue's surprise, Lin Jue thought that he would encounter a lot of guards, but he had already arrived in the small courtyard in front of the building, and he didn't encounter anyone's obstruction. Not even a single guard was in sight.
This situation made Lin Jue a little uncomfortable, Lin Jue thought that once the traces were discovered, he would let them take him to the master of the village without resistance, and naturally he could reveal his identity to Gao Muqing during the interrogation. This is much more effective than the report asking to see him, after all, he is still not qualified to see Gao Muqing in his identity. However, since no one stopped him, Lin Jue didn't know what to do.
Standing in front of the empty gatehouse in the courtyard for a moment, Lin Jue gritted his teeth and walked into the courtyard with the flower cloth. The yard was neat and simple, the ground was clean, and a small pile of fallen leaves was swept to the corner of the yard and lit, and a faint wisp of green smoke was emitting at the moment. In the corner of the yard, a few clumps of evening chrysanthemums are still blooming, and the air is also filled with a rich fragrance.
Lin Jue bent down and put the cloth on the ground, and walked lightly to the door of the small building in front of him. The door of the small building was also open, and Lin Jue himself felt incredible, he actually walked into the small building where the owner of the big village lived so easily, and no one stopped him. I didn't see anyone even when I entered the house, and it seemed that if I wanted to see someone, I needed to take the initiative to ask, "Is anyone home?" ”
The hall is also neat and elegant, only a picture of a tiger descending the mountain is hung on the upper wall, which destroys the atmosphere of the entire small hall, which seems to remind Lin Jue that this is not an elegant small hall of ordinary people, and here lives the owner of the big village of Guishan Island Cottage.
When Lin Jue was standing in the hall and looking around, suddenly there seemed to be a sound of wind behind his head, Lin Jue turned his head to look at it with a slight feeling, and the next moment, he saw the tip of a long sword shining with green light. The tip of the sword was trembling slightly, only a few inches from the center of his eyebrows. Lin Jue was frightened, and his body retreated with a sigh, but the long sword followed like a shadow, and it actually followed Lin Jue's retreating figure, always maintaining a distance of inches. Lin Jue's back hit the Eight Immortals table placed at the top, and he finally had no way to retreat.
The owner of the long sword was dressed in white, and the frost on his front looked at him coldly. It was none other than Gao Muqing, the owner of the cottage on Guishan Island.
"Who are you? What is the purpose of breaking into this place? Say quickly, if there is half a lie, you will die here. Gao Muqing's lips opened slightly, and he asked coldly, with a chill in his voice.
"Don't do it, I'm the brother of the cottage. Your own people are your own people. Lin Jue hurriedly shouted.
"Who is your own person with you? What I'm asking is why you're here? Don't you know that I forbid outsiders to enter or leave here? Gao Muqing raised his eyebrows, and his face showed murderous aura.
"I'm here to deliver ......" Lin Jue pointed to the flowers and cloth outside the door, instinctively wanting to justify, but halfway through the words, he found that he was really stupid, that reason was to fool the guards outside, how could he lie in front of the main master. Isn't that a blow to the muzzle of a gun? The owner of the village didn't let himself send flower cloth.
"I came here to ask to see the lord of Dazhai, and I ask the lord of Dazhai to bear with me if there is an abruptness." Lin Jue calmed down and simply got straight to the point.
"Came to see me? Which leader of that battalion are you a subordinate to? Gao Muqing shouted in a deep voice.
"Below is a new brother from the Ninth Squad of the Outpost Battalion. This is my waist card. Lin Jue carefully took off his waist card and handed it over.
Gao Muqing's wrist flicked, the tip of the sword arced, accurately and lightly picked up the waist card in Lin Jue's hand, and reached out to grab it. After frowning and looking at it twice, he threw it on the ground.
"You broke the rules of the cottage, I don't care if you are a newcomer or an old man, no matter what your identity is, or what so-called important things come to see me. If you trespass into my dwelling, you are dead. Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju, where did you all run to? ”
Gao Muqing's voice fell, and there was a murmur of footsteps outside. A slender woman rushed in with seven or eight female soldiers, and she was stunned on the spot when she saw the posture in front of her.
"Big boss, what's going on?"
"What's going on? You're still asking me? This man has broken into my dwelling in this way, and this is a dereliction of duty. If you don't let me pull him out and deal with it, I'll settle accounts with you later. Gao Muqing reprimanded in a deep voice.
The woman's face was flushed, and she was the leader of the women's guard team responsible for protecting the residence of the lord of the village. At this moment, it was noon, and she was eating in the kitchen behind her with the female guards, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen. I was actually swaggered in by a stranger.
Two women ran in from the outside with red faces, and they were the two guards who stayed in front of the building while everyone was eating.
"Green bamboo, green willow. Where did you two go? Dare to leave your post without permission, let people get in, damn it. Qiu Ju scolded loudly.
The two women fell to their knees and confessed their crimes. "Cuiliu is here...... Red Thing. Stomach ache terrible. I helped her to the latrine...... I didn't expect ...... Something like this happens. Please forgive the lord of Dazhai and Sister Qiu Ju. ”
Although it was difficult to talk about it, and it was in front of a man, the two female guards couldn't care about it. The duty to protect the owners of the village is extremely important, this is their greatest responsibility, and it is already a big mistake to be intruded into without knowing it.
"And what if you have a reason? On weekdays, I will strictly discipline you, but when you are on duty, even if the mountains shake and the sky is full of knives, you are not allowed to leave without permission, let alone a small physical problem. If something happens to the master of the village because of this, the two of you will die and will not be redeemed. Qiu Ju scolded sharply.
The two female guards kowtowed and confessed their crimes.
Gao Muqing said coldly: "Qiu Ju, I want you to get people out and kill them, but I don't want to listen to you reprimand your subordinates here." If you go back to your dereliction of duty, pull this man out and kill him first. ”
Qiu Ju hurriedly surrendered her hand, waved her hand and said to several female guards: "What are you still doing?" Pull this guy out and throw it into the Poison Dragon Pool to feed the Poison Dragon. ”
Lin Jue was taken aback, the so-called poisonous dragon was a crocodile. There are many poisoned dragons in the river like carp crossing the river, and the fishermen and people suffer greatly from it. These guys are notorious. Some folk scare children when they are disobedient, and the most common thing is: don't make trouble, if you make trouble, let the poisonous dragon eat you. When the children hear this, they tend to shut up and cry immediately. Because everyone knows that poisonous dragons are ugly, and what is even more terrifying is the ferocity when they devour their prey, tearing apart the prey alive and swallowing them piece by piece. These people actually wanted to throw themselves away to feed the poisonous dragon, even if there were a hundred ways to die, Lin Jue would never choose this one.
Several female guards rushed up to get Lin Jue, and Lin Jue hurriedly shouted: "Lord Dazhai, there is something to ask you to see below, it is an extremely important matter." ”
Gao Muqing said coldly: "I don't want to listen to big things, and if you break into my residence, it will be a dead end." ”
Lin Jue shouted loudly: "What if it is about the cause of the death of the old village master? Don't you want to listen to the owner of the village? ”
"What?" Gao Muqing's body was shocked, and his face changed drastically. Waving his hand to stop the actions of the women, he walked towards Lin Jue step by step with a long sword, his face was extremely cold.
"What did you just say? What are you talking about? ”
"I didn't open my mouth in the next place, and I came to tell the lord of the village the truth about it. I believe that the owner of Dazhai will also have this doubt in his heart, so I am here to solve the doubts of the master of Dazhai. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Gao Mu Qingfeng's eyes were majestic, and he said softly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what will happen to you if you dare to talk nonsense about this? ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Is it worse than throwing it into the Poison Dragon Pool to feed the Poison Dragon?" Dazhai master, I came here at the risk of killing my head to tell Dazhai the truth of this matter. If the owner of the village wants to hear it, let's sit down and talk about it in detail. If you don't want to hear it, you can throw me into the Poison Dragon Pool now. ”
Gao Muqing's face changed several times, and he glared at Lin Jue and suddenly shouted: "Qiu Ju, close the courtyard gate immediately, lead people to search and block the entire road, and prohibit anyone from entering, including the second village master and the leader of the village, just say that I am not seen today." ”
"Yes!" Qiu Ju also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately took everyone out, and after a while, the sound of bamboo whistles outside was loud, and the sound of women's cheers and footsteps came from the crowd, obviously Qiu Ju was gathering people to search and block the entire area.
