Chapter 429: Crisis
(2-in-1)
Dong Kui frowned tightly and did not make a sound, he was nervous in his heart. What Mo Qiao'er said just now is indeed the truth, as Zuo Zongdao's confidant, he knows many things. For Zuo Zongdao, Dong Kui is actually more afraid than loyal. At the beginning, he was willing to work hard for Zuo Zongdao, and he also saw Zuo Zongdao's potential and talent. Zuo Zongdao can go to the bed of the old village owner's wife, and he has some talents, and it is inevitable that he will be on top. Dong Kui was looking for a ladder to climb up, so it was natural to hold on to this thigh.
However, in the past two years, Dong Kui has actually fallen out of favor. In the past two years, several newcomers have emerged around Zuo Zongdao. For example, Zhao Zheng, the captain of his personal guard, was extremely trusted by Zuo Zongdao. So much so that now when entering and leaving Zuo Zongdao's residence, Zhao Zheng asked to unload his blades, which made Dong Kui and others very dissatisfied. But because of the majesty of Zuo Zongdao, Dong Kui didn't dare to do anything.
However, now Zuo Zongdao died suddenly, and indeed he died, and his head was on the ground in front of him. At this moment, Dong Kui's mood is very complicated. He didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he knew that there was no one emotion in this complex mood, and that was grief. Not even the slightest grief is owed. Not only was there no grief, but there was a hint of excitement and joy in this emotion.
The owner of the village is dead, and according to reason, the second owner of the village is the person with the highest status. If you can take charge of this cottage of Stone Man Mountain...... That's something I've never thought I'd ever thought about. I really don't dare to think that when Zuo Zongdao is or, even if a trace of such a thought flashes in his mind, he will feel frightened. Because he has seen too many of Zuo Zongdao's cruel methods, as long as Zuo Zongdao notices the slightest hint, even if it is a mistake in his eyes, he will attack you. He is the absolute authority of the cottage, like an emperor. Dong Kui, who has participated in many killings and tortures, definitely doesn't want to make himself a target, so he never dares to have an idea. But now, Zuo Zongdao is dead, and the dark cloud above his head has dispersed, so Dong Biao can't help but think about it.
If you can...... But...... Now this Mo Qiaoer is the daughter of the owner of the old village, does the cottage still have to be handed over to this woman? Although she said that she would not be guilty of the past, but what she did before should she really not pursue it? And also...... Could it be that he continued to bring out a big village master without resistance? Should this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just be given up?
Although it was only a short moment, there were thousands of turbulent waves in Dong Kuier's mind, and countless thoughts flashed and annihilated. Sometimes excited, sometimes frustrated, sometimes complaining, sometimes excited. The expression of such emotions on his face is the longing that sometimes gritted his teeth and sometimes smiled, and the whole person seemed to have lost his heart and gone crazy.
Qian Bao watched Dong Kui's expression change and was a little confused, so he leaned into Dong Kui's ear and said, "Second village master, what should I do?" You have an idea, don't stop talking. ”
Dong Kui woke up excitedly, and when he saw Mo Qiao'er's angry face and the three people standing next to him, Dong Kui suddenly decided. Non-toxic husband, such a good opportunity is lost, and there will never be a day in this life. As long as these people in front of them die, especially Mo Qiao'er, as long as they die, they will be the masters of the cottage. With so close to success, what are you still hesitating about? It couldn't be better if they killed Zuo Zongdao, they just paved the way for themselves, what are they waiting for?
"Madame, you have said such a long list of things, which seems to be worthy of sympathy. However, you have forgotten that the owner of Zuo Dazhai is also the master of my cottage no matter what, and the cottage respects him like a god. The position of the lord of his big village was also passed on by your mother herself. Yu Gong, he is the owner of the village, and if you collude with people from other villages to murder the owner of the village, you are a traitor to the cottage. If you do this, you are self-destructing, and it is a big mistake. Privately, no matter what, the owner of the village is also your husband, and you are married in front of the brothers in the whole village. You said how the owner of the village persecuted you, how you didn't want to be forced by it, but you really didn't want to, why didn't you say it out loud on the day you got married in front of all the cottage brothers? Or even died for the sake of honor? It can be seen that your words are false. Since you are a wife, you should abide by the way of women and husbands and children, but you actually had an abortion by yourself, and colluded with outsiders to murder your husband? In public and private, you are a corrupt woman, and you still want us to repent? I'm afraid you're the one who should repent. ”
Dong Kui's words are never so sharp on weekdays, but today Dong Kui is like a divine help, and his words are very organized, and what he says is the Tao.
Mo Qiao'er's body trembled when she heard this, and she pointed at Dong Kui and said angrily: "Dong Kui, you are a thief." You...... You ......"
Dong Kui shouted: "What am I? Am I not right? Brothers, if you don't give it to me, you will slaughter these murderers who assassinated the owner of Zuo Dazhai and the wicked women who corrupted the way and murdered their husbands. Mo Qiaoer has long violated the root of the cottage and has been tempted by outsiders. Kill them and avenge the lord of the village! ”
A group of mountain bandit guards were originally a group of people who were extremely loyal to Zuo Zongdao, and when they saw the tragic death of the village owner just now, they all had some six gods and no masters. At this moment, the second village master spoke, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted with a heart of grief and indignation.
Seeing this, Lin Jue sneered, jumped out, and pulled the trigger on the Wang Ba box at Dong Kui's face.
"Boom!" Smoke rises and fires dazzle. Dong Kui had never seen this kind of firearm at all, and when Lin Jue raised the Wang Ba box to his face, he even stretched his neck forward, looking at the black muzzle curiously. Then, countless small iron balls magnified in front of his eyes, and before the smoke hit his face, countless small iron balls had already pierced the skin, muscles, tendons, and bones of his face. Before he could snort, his entire face began to burst, and shredded flesh and bone stubble burst out in all directions, like a large watermelon that had been struck by a hammer.
All the mountain bandits who rushed forward were shocked and retreated, and the two mountain bandits standing near Dong Kui's left let out a howl of pain. Because the iron bullet that was shot affected them, while shattering Dong Kui's face, it also shot and injured the two people next to him.
The smoke quickly dissipated, and everyone saw the corpse of Dong Kui who had fallen to the ground and convulsed, and that terrifying face. Even Ruan Ping opened his mouth wide in shock, he finally understood, why Fang Junshi was so confident that he could assassinate Zuo Zongdao, it turned out that he actually had such a domineering firearm in his hand.
"You...... You ......," Qian Leopard exclaimed in horror.
Lin Jue raised the muzzle of his left hand to Qian Leopard's face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Sanzhai, it's time for you to make a decision." Your big village master and two village masters are dead, and it's your turn to be the third village master. ”
Qian Leopard retreated in horror. Dong Kui's fate is just around the corner, he doesn't want to die so ugly. In fact, from the beginning, he did not have the same desire for power as Dong Kui, and after listening to Mo Qiaoer's words, he was even ready to propose to Dong Kui to support Mo Qiaoer as the owner of the village. It's just that Dong Kui blatantly ordered to do it, and he could only follow Dong Kui.
"Brother Fang, there is something to say, something to say."
"There's nothing to say, either surrender or die. You pick one. Lin Jue shouted.
"Surrender, I surrender. Zuo Zongdao is innocent, and Dong Kui is also innocent. It's long overdue for the cottage to return to orthodoxy. Miss Mo should be the owner of the village, and I, Qian Leopard, must raise my hands to support her. Qian Leopard shouted.
"Good! Those who know the times are Junjie. Then ask the master of Sanzhai to order, everyone put down their weapons and obey Miss Mo's order. Escort us out immediately. Lin Jue shouted.
Qian Bao nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay." Qian Leopard turned his head and shouted to the dozen or so mountain bandit guards beside him: "Put down your blades, put down your blades quickly." ”
The mountain bandit guards were silent and hesitated.
"You dare to disobey? I am the master of the three villages, the master of the big village and the master of the second village are dead, and now I am the largest in the cottage, and I order you to put down your blades immediately. Qian Leopard shouted.
The mountain bandit guards looked at each other, some of them hesitated, but a few of them showed signs of loosening.
"Whoever does not obey my orders will be killed!" Qian Leopard shouted.
"The master of Sanzhai is so majestic." A grim voice rang out outside. The footsteps were mixed, the crash of weapons and armor was loud, and the next moment, a large number of mountain bandits poured in. There were sixty or seventy of them. At this point, more than 100 mountain bandits in charge of guarding the entire cave arrived.
Everyone came up in a tense manner, blocking Lin Jue, Gao Muqing, Mo Qiao'er and a few others in a semicircle. In the rear, with a sneer, the mountain bandits made way of a passage, and a fully armed figure holding a long knife walked out step by step.
Lin Jue and the others all knew this person, and this person was the same Captain Zhao who met at the entrance of the cave when he came in before. He is the personal guard captain of Zuo Zongdao.
Zhao Zheng walked slowly to the front of the team, his eyes fell on Dong Kui's bloody corpse on the ground, his brows were furrowed, and his face was gloomy. When he saw Zuo Zongdao's head, he suddenly knelt on the ground, holding Zuo Zongdao's head and wailing loudly.
"The master of the village, the master of the village, you died so miserably. Zhao Zheng was derelict in his duties, he was mixed in by the fine work, and he harmed your life. Lord Dazhai, you can rest assured, Zhao Zhengding will avenge you, and will kill all the people who killed you and related people to bury you. ”
Zhao Zheng's crying came and went quickly, and when the crying stopped, he had already stood up, without a single tear on his face, but with a cruel smile. His eyes fell on Mo Qiao'er, and he arched his hand and said coldly: "Madam, it was you who colluded with outsiders to harm the master of the village, right?" ”
Mo Qiao'er's face turned pale, and she shouted coldly: "Zhao Zheng, the Shiren Mountain Village is my Mo family, Zuo Zongdao, this old thief occupies the cottage and persecutes me and my mother, I naturally can't tolerate him." ”
Zhao Zheng nodded, looked at Lin Jue and said, "You killed the master of the village, right?" ”
Lin Jue said lightly: "It's me." ”
Zhao Zheng looked at the Wang Ba box in his hand and said, "This is the firearm you use?" No wonder you didn't let my people search my body before, and the weapons were handed over happily. It turns out that you have this hand. ”
Lin Jue sneered: "Yes, I smashed Zuo Zongdao's heart with one shot and cut off his head. ”
Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." Then the human and material evidence is there, and you have confessed, but there is no need to be confused. The little ones, the lady colluded with the thieves to murder the owner of the big village, and he has already committed a capital crime. These Assassins deserve to die, too. Give it to me, kill them all, cut off their heads, and avenge the lord of the village. ”
The guards around Zuo Zongdao have all been selected through layers of selection, and this Zhao Zheng is a rising star that Zuo Zongdao has cultivated in the past two years. With Zuo Zongdao's suspicion, the people around him must be considered extremely reliable by him to be competent. Zhao Zheng is undoubtedly the most trusted person in Zuo Zongdao. Except for Zuo Zongdao, these guards were only under the orders of Zhao Zheng, the leader of the escort team. This is the reason why Qian Leopard ordered to lay down his weapons before, but the mountain bandits hesitated to carry it out. Because they wouldn't have been at the mercy of the other leaders in the cottage.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng came to give an order, and these guys immediately responded, and immediately approached noisily.
Lin Jue frowned and pointed at Qian Leopard with the muzzle of the gun, Qian Leopard understood, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait!" Zhao Zheng, I am the master of the three villages, and I am the largest except for the master of the big village and the master of the second village. Now that the master of the big village and the master of the second village are gone, you should listen to my orders. I want you to lead people down immediately, and you must not be rude. There's something else going on here. ”
Zhao Zheng frowned and looked at Qian Leopard and said, "Master Sanzhai, you are majestic." The owner of the big village and the second owner of the village were killed, and you are the master of the cottage? ”
Qian Bao shouted angrily: "What are these words? According to the rules, I am the master of Sanzhai, and now the cottage should listen to my orders. Zhao Zheng, don't break the rules. ”
Zhao Zheng laughed: "Rules? The rules of the cottage have long been broken, don't you know? Does it work if you, the master of Sanzhai, really speak? Maybe others listen to your orders, but I, Zhao Zheng, am not something you can send. I, Zhao Zheng, only listened to the orders of the lord of Zuo Dazhai, and now that the lord of Dazhai has been killed, I will avenge him. You don't want to avenge the lord of Dazhai, and it seems that you want to be with the enemy. Then, you are also an accomplice in the murder of the owner of the village. ”
Before Zhao Zheng's words fell, he suddenly slashed horizontally with a long knife in his hand. Qian Bao was about to reason with Zhao Zheng, who would have thought that he would make a bold move, and there was only a few feet between the two, and there was no way to avoid it. Before Qian Leopard's waist knife was blocked in place, it was cut through the ribs by the knife light, and his body was cut in half. It's like a big tree that has been half-sawed by a saw.
Qian Leopard screamed in pain and stared at Zhao Zheng with wide eyes, blood spurted wildly from his mouth, and roared in a dumb voice: "Damn, you dare to kill me." ”
"Collusion with foreign enemies, everyone will be punished!" Zhao Zheng scolded. Raised his foot and kicked the body of the leopard, and took out the long knife. As soon as the long knife was withdrawn, blood surged from Qian Leopard's waist and ribs, mixed with the organs of broken intestines, and flowed like a waterfall. Qian Leopard roared, his body fell to the ground with a bang, and he died on the spot.
"Kill!" Zhao Zheng's blood-dripping long knife pointed at Lin Jue and the others, his eyes red.
Lin Jue had already aimed the muzzle of the gun at Zhao Zheng and pulled the trigger in an instant. Zhao Zheng had already taken precautions, he had already expected Lin Jue to do something to him, and when the thing in Lin Jue's hand came out of sparks, Zhao Zheng reached out and pulled a guard next to him to block him. There was a boom, and the guard's body was beaten into a sieve, but Zhao Zheng was unscathed.
Dozens of people rushed forward, and the scene got out of control. Lin Jue's Wang Ba box also failed to work, and after the two bullets were fired, Lin Jue had to immediately reload the ammunition, but at this time the other party had already swarmed up.
"Retreat," Lin Jue shouted loudly as he hurriedly reloaded his bullets.
Gao Muqing and Ruan Ping responded when they heard this, and the three of them fled in the depths of Mo Qiao'er's reign. Dozens of mountain bandits in the rear rushed with shouts, and one after another the cloth curtains were torn and fell down. Fortunately, with these curtains, although they could not be used as a barrier against the enemy, they caused a small trouble to the pursuing mountain bandits. It was impossible for a large group of people to pass through the gap in the middle of the curtain, and when they rushed their heads, the thick curtain became a barrier, and then when they landed, the men and the curtain became entangled, and a large crowd stumbled. Although he was not injured, he slowed down his speed after all, and he was unable to catch up with the four people who fled in front of him in time.
However, the seven or eight servant girls failed to escape, and were rushed up by a large group of mountain bandits, hacked to death indiscriminately.
"Don't mess around, they can't escape. Watch out for his firearms. Zhao Zheng shouted loudly in the rear.
Before the words fell, there were two explosions in front of him, and a frightened cry came, and Zhao Zheng hurriedly asked loudly about the situation. It was reported that the four brothers who rushed to the front were knocked down by the other party with firearms.
Zhao Zheng said loudly and angrily: "What about the archers? The bow and arrows came forward and tore off all the curtains, and the bows and arrows were shot at me. Shoot them all. ”
More than twenty archers shouted their promises and rushed forward.
Ahead, Lin Jue and the others rushed back to the position of the bedroom, and the headless corpse of Zuo Zongdao on the ground threw himself on the ground. Lin Jue turned around and killed several of the nearest mountain bandits who were rushing, and asked loudly while quickly loading ammunition, "Miss Mo, is there an exit here?" ”
Mo Qiao'er panted and said: "No, this is a cave dug in the stone wall, there is no exit at all, only a road in the courtyard in front." ”
Lin Jue scolded his mother, and looked around with the Wang Ba box in his hand. There are stone walls on all sides, there is no hiding place at all, and the gum cabinet or anything cannot be used as an obstacle to prevent them from entering, and the situation is extremely critical.
Several people were a little helpless, and suddenly the tent curtain in front of them was broken and torn off, and the black mountain bandits were exposed more than twenty steps away. But they didn't rush over, and stopped after tearing off the curtain, as if they were afraid of the firearm in Lin Jue's hand. But soon, Lin Jue and the others understood what the other party was going to do. But seeing dozens of archers in position in the rear, the bowstring creaked open.
"Hide." Lin Jue shouted. Several people were busy hiding from the side of the gums, but they heard the loud buzzing sound and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air. Tuk tuk! Dozens of feathered arrows were nailed to the wood of the gums. The distance was close, but it was strong enough, and the planks and carved wood patterns on the bed burst open. The feather arrow was nailed to the wall of the side board of the bed, and the tail of the arrow bounced and buzzed.
Lin Jue and the others shrank their heads and hid behind the wall, not daring to come out at all. There was a crackling sound, the gums collapsed, the curtain shattered, and under the fierce arrows, it was a mess. Some of the arrows shot at the stone wall behind them, piercing the slab-covered walls and shooting sparks. It's clear that this is an iron-headed arrow. At such a close distance, even if you are wearing armor, you will be shot through.
"We're all going to die here, dead end. What to do? What to do? Ruan Ping hugged his head and sighed.
Lin Jue and Gao Muqing also frowned, although they had experienced a lot of life and death situations, but this time the danger was even worse than before, they were blocked by dozens of heavily armed mountain bandits in this dead end, and this time they were afraid that they would be in a catastrophe.
Among the few people, Mo Qiao'er was the most calm, although she was still pale and sickly, but she didn't seem to care about life and death. For she had taken her revenge, and the old thief she hated most was dead. As for this Stone Man Mountain Cottage, she is actually not interested.
Gao Muqing quickly showed half of her head and observed, and a few feather arrows flew past her scalp and nailed to the wall panel behind her. The frightened Lin Jue shouted.
"They came up, and slowly approached under the cover of bows and arrows. We have to find a way to not sit idly by. Husband, you have an idea. In a hurry, Gao Muqing also forgot to hide his relationship with Lin Jue. However, Ruan Ping was in a state of chaos and didn't care about any of this.
