"Lin Gongzi, I have already answered your question, now you should keep your promise and let me go. The officers and soldiers are already approaching, and if they don't let me go, I won't be able to go. Xu Xing shouted.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "I still have one more question for you to tell me, and I will naturally let you go when I answer this question." ”

Xu Xing frowned and said, "Why do you still have to ask?" If you want to ask, be quick. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said: "Lin Ke is your person, providing you with money and materials, I believe that what you said is true." But I found a lot of fire, oil, armor, weapons, and other materials strictly controlled by the imperial court in your underground warehouse. It is impossible for the eldest prince to get these materials, and you will never be able to rob ships at sea to rob such important materials, and someone else must buy them for you. Tell me who got the supplies for you. ”

Xu Xing sneered: "Young Master Lin, I can't answer your question. ”

Gao Muqing said coldly: "Then I will kill you." ”

Xu Xing spread his hands and said: "It's useless for you to kill me, it's not that I don't want to answer you, but ...... I don't know who this person is. There is only one person who knows about the whole thing, and that is Hai Dongqing. He didn't know who to contact, and he exchanged silver taels for these things, and carried out an extraordinary secret. We send people every October to receive a small consignment of these supplies from the islands to the north, and we don't know where they come from or by whom. Hai Dongqing personally did this matter, and he didn't say anything about it, including me. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "How is it possible?" Aren't you the person he values the most? How could he hide it from you. ”

Xu Xing smiled bitterly: "Hehe, you look down on me." If I was the person he valued the most, how could he leave me and run away? He only valued himself. I do know the most about the day-to-day affairs and some confidential things in the cottage, but I don't know anything about it. At first, I only asked one more question, and he scolded me harshly. I really don't know, I swear to God. If I had known and kept my word, I would have been stabbed to death. ”

Lin Jue frowned and was silent, this matter was actually more important than Neiying's identity. Because the status of the person who can provide Haidong Qinghuo Oil Blade Armor and other combat materials must be very high. If such a person is not found out, the harm will be even greater. But from Xu Xing's mouth, it seems that he can't ask anything. Maybe it's not that he doesn't know, but that the matter is so important that he won't say it even if he dies.

"Can I go?" The shouts of the surrounding officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and Xu Xing hurriedly asked.

Lin Jue smiled and said nothing.

"You don't believe what you say. He didn't believe in his words, but he was not even as good as a beast. You have also sworn a poisonous oath, and you will be damned. Xu Xing gritted his teeth and said.

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Since I have sworn an oath, of course I must abide by my oath." You go, I'll spare you. ”

Xu Xing was overjoyed, bared his teeth and smiled and arched his hand: "Lin Gongzi is really a character, he is true to his words, and Xu admires it." That's good, Qingshan doesn't change the flow of water, Lin Gongzi, the tall village master, we will have a period later. ”

Xu Xing turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, Gao Muqing shouted, "Stop." ”

Xu Xing turned around and said in amazement: "What? Any other commands? ”

Gao Muqing slowly approached with a knife, his face gloomy.

"You ...... You can't be untrustworthy, Lin Jue swore an oath. Xu Xing screamed in fright.

"He swore an oath, but I didn't. He spared you, but I didn't say I would spare you. Gao Muqing said coldly.

“…… You guys...... You guys are villains, damn it, Lao Tzu fell for you. Xu Xing was shocked, turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff.

Gao Muqing jumped up and said coquettishly: "Isn't it a harm to the world that you are alive, even if I swear, I will kill you." ”

The knife flashed, and Xu Xing's back opened a long opening from his shoulders to his waist ribs. Xu Xing screamed and fell to the ground. Gao Muqing swung another knife, and blood spurted out of the back of Xu Xing's neck, and most of his neck was cut off. Gao Muqing flew up and kicked his body off the cliff, and after a burst of rocks rolled down, there was a dull sound of the corpse falling on the reef below.

"I can't keep you, you know that there are bandits in my husband's family, wouldn't it be a disaster to keep you." Gao Muqing wiped the blood on the knife on the long grass and reprimanded in a low voice.

Lin Jue walked over, reached out and grabbed Gao Muqing's palm, and squeezed it gently.

"Am I doing the right thing?" Gao Muqing asked.

"You're doing the right thing, if you don't kill him, I won't let him go. This person cannot be kept. He knew about Lin Ke's bandits, how could he keep him. ”

"I know, I know, I understood when you refused to take him to the prefect and them. You told me that you suspected Lin Ke of being a bandit, how could you make this matter public? So I made up my mind to kill him when you were done. ”

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and hugged Gao Muqing's shoulders and shook it, and said with a smile: "Mu Qing is much more thoughtful now. ”

"That's natural, as a wife of the Lin family, how can you not have a little brain, otherwise your husband won't dislike me." Gao Muqing said with a smile.

Lin Jue laughed and said, "How could I dislike you." ”

Gao Muqing said with a smile: "My husband swore a poisonous oath not to do it, if there is really a curse, I will bear it." ”

Lin Jue shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no damnation." If there is really God, they are also blind people, otherwise how can they let go of many injustices in the world, and many evil people will not be punished. Oaths are uncountable, but actions are proof. ”

"Yes, God is blind. Maybe still deaf. In short, unreliable. ”

Lin Jue laughed for a moment, but frowned again, and said with a sigh: "This matter will be very tricky, even if Xu Xing is killed, the matter of someone in my Lin family who is a bandit will be known sooner or later." Xu Xing is not the only one who knows about this. After this crackdown on bandits, I am afraid that someone will jump over the wall in a hurry. After all, this is a huge hidden danger. If Lin Ke's banditry is exposed, we will all be finished. No amount of credit can offset this sin. ”

Gao Muqing nodded slowly and said, "It's very true, it's not trivial for the bandits to sit together." It's a tricky thing. ”

"This Xu Xing seems shrewd, but in fact he is very stupid. Since he knew that my Lin family had a bandit, but he told us about it, isn't this self-defeating? One more person who knows about this matter will be more detrimental to my Lin family. ”

"Maybe he thinks he's not the only one who knows about it, so he's not afraid of it." Gao Muqing said softly.

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "That's it, let's think about it later." It's time for us to go and join the little prince of the Yan Governor's Mansion, Commander Song. I didn't expect you and me to live to see them, hehe, it's really a great creation. ”

Gao Muqing smiled: "Yes, we survived." Husband, I'm so happy, although this trip is dangerous, but for me it is a lot of gains, we don't have to die, from now on, I don't have to be a bandit, stay by your side to serve you, husband and children, think about it makes people happy. ”

Lin Jue smiled and nodded, reaching out to hug her.

……

The battle to wipe out the pirates ended temporarily after nightfall. The island is densely forested and valley-deep, which is not conducive to night fighting. Moreover, a large number of pirates were annihilated or captured, and only five or six hundred people escaped. In such stormy times, they actually have nowhere to escape, so there is no need to rush to hunt them down, and then slowly hunt them down at dawn tomorrow.

The gathering hall of the bandits has become the command post of the Ning Navy, in addition to the soldiers and horses guarding the docks in various places, thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ning Navy gather here to rest. After days of rough seas, wind and rain, and the constant fighting, they were finally able to rest, dry their wet clothes, refill their vomiting empty stomachs with hot food, and regain their exhausted strength.

The hall was brightly lit, and dozens of chairs of the bandit leaders were now seats for the banquet. A simple but grand banquet is taking place. When Lin Jue and Gao Muqing fought with the officers and soldiers, they immediately rescued more than 20 people from Guishan Island in the water prison. And these desperate people became the guests of honor at the banquet at this moment, and together with Lin Juegao Muqing, they were arranged in the position of the little prince Yan Zhifu and the two commanders.

The hot meal was put on the table, and the atmosphere at the table was very warm. Yan Zhengsu, who had been talking to Lin Jue since he saw Lin Jue, was full of smiles at the moment, and he looked like two people who were not smiling on weekdays.

"Lord Yan, Mo pulled Lin Jue to speak, didn't you see that he didn't have the strength to speak? Let's start with a table. Wang Kai reminded.

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm too excited." Lin Jue, are you hungry? ”

Lin Jue, who had already bathed and changed his clothes and made himself decent, was indeed hungry.

"How so? After landing on the island last night, we only ate some dry food, and then we didn't eat anything. From the underground storehouse to escaping, evading the pursuit and arrest, where is there still time to eat? The cold wind and cold rain poured a lot. I'll tell you the truth, I'm looking at the food on this table right now, and I'm eager to eat it right away. Lin Jue said with a smile.

"Hahaha." The crowd burst into laughter.

Guo Kun stood up, personally served a bowl of rice for Lin Jue, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Then you're welcome, come on, come on, eat a big bowl first, and then let's talk slowly." ”

Lin Jue was not polite, and then raised his chopsticks and said to Gao Muqing and the more than 20 male and female guards of Guishan Island who were tortured: "Everyone, eat, you have all worked hard." You're all good. ”

Lin Jue moved his chopsticks, and Gao Muqing, Liang Qi and others also began to eat. The hall suddenly fell silent, and Yan Zhengsu, Guo Kun, Song Yanping, Wang Kai and others all quietly looked at the more than 20 people gobbling up, looking at their pale and unkempt faces because of the torture, and they didn't know what to feel in their hearts.

I don't know who suddenly cried, Lin Jue turned his eyes to see that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old female guard sitting next to Gao Muqing.

Gao Muqing hurriedly comforted her and said, "Xiao Rong, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Lord Dazhai, we can still live to eat, Sister Qiu Ju and them, and dozens of brothers are dead." The little female guard said in tears.

As soon as these words came out, Gao Muqing's eyes also turned red. Liang Qi and other people from Guishan Island also showed sadness on their faces.

"Their death is exchanged for our life, and their death is exchanged for the Guishan Island cottage to get rid of the name of bandits, and their death is meaningful. We remember what they did for us and live well. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Yan Zheng said in a solemn voice: "Yes, what Lin Jue said is right. Tall village master, maybe this official shouldn't call you that anymore, huh...... Miss Gao, don't worry. The old man will do his best to solve the matter of Guishan Island for you. Let you become naturalized on the spot, change the bandit to the people, and write off all the previous things. That's all for me. This time, you have made great contributions, and I will also go to the court to ask for meritorious awards for you. ”

Gao Muqing got up and saluted: "Thank you Governor Yan, we don't want any awards, we just want to be ordinary people and live a stable life." ”

Guo Kun said with a smile: "If you should be rewarded, I will pay tribute to you on behalf of my father." My royal palace will also take credit for you. You can rest assured. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said in his heart: The little prince is not far behind, and he grabbed it with Governor Yan. However, this is beneficial to the matter of Guishan Island, and they will fight if they want to, as long as the matter of Guishan Island can be resolved.
