In the evening, the big boat that Lin Jue and Gao Muqing took arrived in the northwest waters of Peach Blossom Island. At the same time, the small boat of the pirates, who had been watching from afar on the surrounding sea, also began to approach unabashedly.

A dozen small island boats weaved in front of the big ship, swarthy and tanned pirates wielding long poles with hooks, their only tools for looting ships. Hooking the side of the boat with a long pole and getting on the boat with strength is their specialty. On a few slightly larger ships, the masts and sails were crawling with people, densely packed like ants.

On the one hand, Gao Muqing ordered to be ready for battle, and on the other hand, he played a banner. Not long after, a pirate ship rushed straight from the front, and when it seemed to be about to collide directly with the big ship where Gao Muqing Lin Jue was, it suddenly turned its sail and passed by. A sea bandit on the bow of the ship stood cross-legged and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the ship of the lord of Gaozhai on Guishan Island?" ”

Gao Muqing said loudly: "Exactly, I have already made an agreement with the master of your Jiangdao family, and you still don't lead the way?" ”

The man laughed and scolded: "This girl is so big." Then he said loudly, "Come with us." Don't trespass, otherwise you don't care if something happens. ”

The pirate ship made a light turn, opened the way in front of the big ship, and headed straight for Peach Blossom Island in the distance. The big ship followed closely behind, and sailed away under the crowd and noise of more than a dozen small pirate boats around. After a stick of incense, the steep cliff on the northwest side of Peach Blossom Island has been completed, and the lush trees on the top of the cliff and the tall arrow tower have been clearly visible.

The boat leading the way docked at the gap in the cliff, and Gao Muqing's big ship slowly approached. As soon as they approached the dock, they heard the sound of a gong, and countless pirates poured out from between the trees and houses on both sides of the pier, numbering a thousand people. Although they are not fully armed, some of them are bare-chested, but they all hold swords in their hands, like fierce gods.

Gao Muqing walked off the big boat with a cold face and came to the shore, and dozens of female guards and dozens of bandits from Guishan Island also rushed down behind him. Lin Jue was tied up with five flowers and hugged among the female guards. The eyes of the bandits stared at this group of heroic female guards, and their eyes wandered up and down unscrupulously. These female guards were all born in martial arts, and all of them were slender and concave, which made the hungry bandits on these islands drool, and they couldn't wait for the leader to give an order, so they went up and froze them alive.

The big man stepped forward with a smile, and said with a smile: "This one is the tall village master of Guishan Island, right?" In Xiajiang Jinfu, he came to greet the tall village master on the order of his father. ”

Only then did Gao Muqing know that the person in front of him was Hai Dongqing's eldest son Jiang Jinfu. At the moment, he returned the salute coldly: "It turned out to be the owner of the young island, I am Gao Muqing, the owner of the cottage on Guishan Island." What is the young island owner doing? Why did I bring so many people to greet me, I Gao Muqing can't afford it. ”

Jiang Jinfu laughed, and with a wave of his hand, more than a thousand pirates quickly retreated and returned to their original hiding place.

"Don't blame the lord of Dazhai, my Peach Blossom Island cottage is heavily guarded, and there are heavy soldiers on the dock on the island, and it is their duty to guard the dock. The first time the tall village owner came, he was certainly not used to this meeting. When you come more, you get used to it, not only you, but my father and they will also come to guard when they return to the island. ”

"I see. I don't know where the owner of the island is? Could you please lead us to meet the young islander, we are here to talk about business. Gao Muqing said in a deep voice. Daddy and the leaders are waiting for the tall village master in the mountain hall. However, I want to ask, I heard that you brought Lin Jue, the culprit who killed my second brother, here, where is the other? ”

Gao Muqing turned to Lin Jue, who was guarded by the female guards, and pointed to it: "This is the person, how can you break your promise if you promise it." ”

Jiang Jinfu's gaze turned to Lin Jue, and he slowly walked to Lin Jue's side. Gao Muqing was on high alert, and his fingers touched the hilt of the sword. She was worried that Jiang Jinfu would suddenly kill Lin Jue to avenge his dead brother. However, she was clearly overthinking.

Jiang Jinfu stood a few steps in front of Lin Jue, looked Lin Jue up and down for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "This kid is the murderer of my brother?" ”

"It's like a fake." Gao Muqing said.

Jiang Jinfu laughed endlessly, shook his head and sighed: "My brother boasts of martial arts and is capable of the world. But how did it fall into the hands of this kid? This kid looks powerless, where does he have the slightest knowledge of martial arts? He actually died in the hands of this kid, and his martial arts skills are all over the world? Isn't that a joke? ”

Gao Muqing was a little surprised, Jiang Jinfu's words were a little sarcastic, but they were a ridicule of the dead Jiang Jingui, which was also strange.

Lin Jue, who was tied up with five flowers, stood there, but he understood Jiang Jingui's thoughts in his heart. On Guishan Island, when Yun Haiqing confessed Qiu Biao's identity before his death, he said that Jiang Jingui was Hai Dongqing's beloved son and the son of Hai Dongqing. Since he prefers Jiang Jingui, Hai Dongqing's other sons will definitely not be treated. It's okay for ordinary people, but if it's a place like a big family or a cottage court, because of interests, there will inevitably be contradictions. Just like the struggle between the princes in the court is to seize the throne and power, Hai Dongqing's sons may not be able to stop. Perhaps Jiang Jingui's death is not a bad thing for some people in this cottage.

"You little thing killed my second brother?" Jiang Jinfu glared at Lin Jue and shouted.

Lin Jue's face was calm, and his lips moved slightly. Jiang Jinfu didn't hear what he said, and frowned: "What did you say?" ”

Lin Jue coughed and repeated. This time Jiang Jinfu heard clearly, what Lin Jue said was: "Shouldn't you thank me?" ”

Jiang Jinfu stared at Lin Jue with a wide open mouth and was speechless in surprise. The other party's clear eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and the secrets in his heart seemed to be seen through.

Yes, when he got the news of his brother's death, he was happiest than Jiang Jinfu. When his brother was alive, it was simply a shadow on his head. Everything, at any time, my father has to compare himself with my younger brother, scold myself for nothing, say how shrewd and capable my brother is, and say that he is a wreck. Jiang Jinfu is submissive on his lips, not to mention how much he hates in his heart. His younger brother never respected himself, and he didn't take his brother seriously at all.

There have long been rumors in the cottage that the position of the island owner will be passed on to his younger brother in the future, but he is a marginal figure. Of course, Jiang Jinfu was not happy, especially when someone told him that he had lost not only the position of the island owner, but also the position of an emperor, that unwillingness was even stronger. Daddy wants to rebel, if he succeeds, he will be the emperor, and if his younger brother inherits the position, he will indeed lose the throne of an emperor. Oh my God, that's an emperor's position.

Therefore, when the news of his brother's death came, the whole cottage was grieving, Jiang Jinfu hid in the house and drank a big meal to celebrate Jiang Jingui's death. Finally, the dark cloud hanging over his head has dispersed, what could be happier than this?

But these happiness can only be in the heart, and on the surface, they still have to show righteous indignation and grief. He originally wanted to make a show today, and when he saw the murderer, he wanted to show great hatred, and maybe he should draw his sword to kill the murderer to show his hatred. But in the face of Lin Jue's words, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Lin Jue smiled, and from Jiang Jinfu's expression, he confirmed the conjecture in his heart. Jiang Jinfu was indeed very happy and happy about his brother's death, and when his mind was pierced, he had this embarrassing expression. Interestingly, sure enough, this cottage of Flower Island is no exception, where someone has power and interests, there are contradictions, and where there are contradictions, there is something to start. This Jiang Jinfu may be a breakthrough, as long as he can survive the first hurdle today, he may not be unusable. Before he came, he had studied a lot of information about the bandits, about the conduct and ability of Hai Dongqing's sons and their status on the island, Lin Jue deliberately made inductions and speculations, and sure enough, a test after seeing Jiang Jinfu verified a lot of things.

"Young Island Lord, the hour is not early, didn't you say that the Island Lord and the leaders are waiting? So what are you waiting for? Take us to them. Gao Muqing said in a deep voice.

"Oh oh oh, let's go." Jiang Jinfu nodded hurriedly in response.

When he turned around, he found that Lin Juezheng was grinning toothily, and Jiang Jinfu was even more weak-hearted, and scolded: "Damn, you're afraid you're sick!" You're going to lose your head soon. ”

Lin Jue's smile was even brighter. Jiang Jinfu hurriedly walked a few steps away from this madman.

Needless to say, the terrain from the wharf to the high point of the island winds upwards, and the natural steep terrain and artificial fortifications make it extremely dangerous. But once you get to the top, it's a different story. The green grass slopes are open and gentle, and the island is full of dense forests, and the handfuls stretch into patches, which are like a paradise.

There is also not much difference at the top. The whole island originally looked like a mountain peak, and once you reach the top of the cliff, it is actually a huge mountaintop flat land. Of course, there are rocks and deep rifts, but the overall terrain is gentle.

The path leading to the hall is flanked by lush trees and bamboo forests, and the peach trees are past their blooming season, but you can imagine what a beautiful sight it is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March. Such a beautiful place, but now it is entrenched here by bandits, it is really a pearl cast into darkness, and the beautiful jade is covered with dust.

Walking on the island, you can see the sea below the island from the open trees, and see the white sails of the pirate boat shuttling in the waves. You can also see more than a dozen small islands clustered on the sea within a radius of more than ten miles, and the whole pattern is almost unobstructed.

Half an hour later, in the twilight, everyone finally came to a huge rock in the center of the island. The stone stairs lead up to the misty darkness of the night ahead. The number of bandits on guard around them also began to increase, and Lin Jue and Gao Muqing both knew that they had arrived at the core of the bandits' lair.

Gao Muqing looked back at Lin Jue, and happened to meet Lin Jue's gaze. Lin Jue gave him a firm look, and Gao Muqing took a breath.
