In the battle just now, Du Qi and the others used all their strength to break out of the encirclement, everyone felt exhausted, and several people suffered some internal and external injuries to varying degrees, but fortunately, no one was left behind. www.biquge.info They turned two cols in a row, and when they saw that there was no enemy chasing them, they couldn't help but lose their strength, and sat or lay down in the low grass on a small slope by the side of the road, gasping for breath. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, recalling the thrill of breaking through just now, Wu felt that his heart was palpitating, and he was afraid.

Seeing that everyone's breath was gradually stabilizing, Du Qi estimated that everyone's physical strength had recovered, and couldn't help asking, "How far is it to Maple Forest Villa?" ”

Jiang Nut said: "There are still more than ten miles to go, go over the hill in front of you, and then turn a corner to arrive." ”

Du Qi said: "It's not too early, we should also go to Maple Grove Villa to take advantage of the excitement." ”

Seeing that he said it relaxedly, everyone couldn't help but feel at ease, and they got up and walked towards Maple Grove Villa, and a few people shouted while walking: "Go home, go home!" ”

Jiang Jingzhi pointed to a stone pavilion two or three miles away in front of him and said: "That stone pavilion is called 'Wangxiang Pavilion', which is a necessary place to enter and exit our village. ”

Jiang Nut suddenly said: "Although I have only been away from home for a few days, I also feel more timid about my hometown, and I am really a little afraid to go further." ”

Jiang Jingzhi smiled: "What are you afraid of? Arriving at Wangxiang Pavilion is equivalent to arriving at home, who do we have to be afraid of? ”

Qin Xin also smiled and said, "Maybe there will be an ambush soon, or the Maple Forest Villa has fallen into the hands of the enemy, dig a trap and wait for us to jump." ”

Du Qi said: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm sure everything is as usual, don't listen to Xin'er's nonsense." ”

Although everyone was not worried that Fenglin Villa would fall into the hands of the enemy, they also thought that Qin Xin's words were reasonable, and they couldn't help but be shocked by each other, how could they still listen to Du Qi's words? But he couldn't stop moving, so he had to move forward slowly.

Seeing that the Wangxiang Pavilion was in sight, and there was no figure on the road except for them, Qin Xin said: "Strange, according to what kind of sick lieutenant Chi Chaofeng said, this place should be overcrowded, how can there be no one?" ”

Jiang Nut said worriedly: "Yes, at least that Wei Chi Chaofeng and the four heroes of the Tan clan should be around here, why don't you see them, have they really entered the village?" ”

While speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of "booming lala" sound of running water, and when he raised his eyes, the Wangxiang Pavilion was already approaching, and Du Qi said: "It's useless to think too much, why don't you ask the people in the pavilion?" ”

Everyone walked cautiously all the way and did not find anything unusual, until they saw the three Zhuang Ding who were guarding the Wangxiang Pavilion as usual, and they knew that everything was normal, and they began to relax.

Before arriving at the pavilion, Du Qi and others found that there was still a ravine between them and the Wangxiang Pavilion, and the sound of the flowing water of "Rumbling" was like a burst of continuous coming up from under the ditch, Jiang Nut introduced: "This river is called Jing River, the water flow is turbulent, the road surface is dozens of zhang, deep but I don't know how much, no matter people and animals, as long as they fall into it, they will immediately sink to the bottom of the water and never reappear, the narrowest place is nearly 20 zhang wide, both sides of the river are cliffs, even if the people who are light and high do not dare to try to fly across. ”

Everyone looked down, only to see the river rolling up patches of snow-white waves, roaring and rushing away, stirring up a fishy smell and sending it into everyone's noses with the wind.

Looking at the turbulent flowing water, everyone suddenly felt dizzy in their heads, their hearts suddenly tightened, and a slight chill arose from the tail along the back, and then a spirit, all of them were shocked.

This Wangxiang Pavilion is the outermost gateway of Fenglin Villa, there have always been Zhuang Ding day and night shift guards, these guards are not allowed to enter the village even when they are on vacation, they all live in the stone house in front of the cliff behind the pavilion, and the leaders of the leadership are all taken by the head of the village in turn.

At present, the leader on duty is Jiang Jingyou, the third uncle of Jiang Nut, who has to report that Jiang Jingzhi and Jiang Nut and others have returned to the village, and the Llama Gang has helped everyone to protect each other, and hurriedly came out of the stone house, and ordered Zhuang Ding to put down the suspension bridge and let everyone enter the pavilion, and warmly beckoned them to sit down and rest at one of the four stone tables in the pavilion.

After the greetings were over, Jiang Nut asked, "Third uncle, have outsiders entered the village in the past two days?" ”

Jiang Jingyou said: "Don't say that there are outsiders entering the village, even outsiders passing by rarely see one." Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, could it be that what they saw and heard at the three-way intersection was all a daydream?

Everyone was surprised, and suddenly heard the noisy drum music in the village, Jiang Nut came over and said: "Du Gongzi, Miss Qin, elders, someone in the village has come to greet us, how about you come to the village to rest for one night?" ”

Qin Xin first said excitedly: "Okay, I'm just thinking of going to play in the village." ”

Jin Dachuan and the others were not good at making their own decisions, and they all looked at Du Qi. The reason why Du Qi took over this business was to make some money by the way, but the main thing was that he felt fun, and now that the business is done, he should leave, but he felt that the matter at the fork in the mountain today was confusing, it seemed to be a little weird, and he was even more impressed by the miracle of Jinghe, and he was invited by Jiang Nut and saw Qin Xin's excited look, so he decided to go into the village to take a look, so he said: "So it's disturbing!" ”

Jiang Nut said happily: "Du Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, the person who greeted him has arrived, please get up." ”

As soon as everyone got up, a group of people rushed out of the village like a whirlwind, and the first person came to the front of everyone to salute: "Villain Jiang Jie, I welcome you on the order of the owner, please follow the villain into the village!" ”

Everyone followed Jiang Jie to the village, the road can only allow a carriage to pass by, the mountain walls on both sides are like knife cutting, looking up, only a ray of sky can be seen, there are five gatehouses in the land of Lixu, each gatehouse is guarded by more than a dozen people, equipped with rolling wood and stones, bows and crossbows and arrows and other defensive equipment, if not the guardian of the person to release, even if there are thousands of troops and horses are difficult to attack.

After passing through a tall and sturdy gatehouse, everyone stepped into the village, but saw that the avenue inside the door was crowded with people welcoming them, although everyone rushed to watch, but they were neatly arranged on both sides of the road, it seemed orderly and there was no clutter, and dozens of children danced flowers in their hands, and kept shouting: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" ......Many adults shouted after the children, and then some clapped their palms and beat gongs and drums, and suddenly the enthusiasm was blazing, highlighting the hospitality of the hosts and the respect for Duchi and others.

All the way, everyone was overjoyed by this blazing atmosphere, and suddenly a sense of satisfied pride rose, and they couldn't help but feel excited, and they felt that their blood was boiling, as if they were about to melt into this sea of joy.

As he walked, he saw that the passages in the village were criss-crossed, very wide, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides, and there were all kinds of small merchants and vendors, and its pattern was as imposing as a town. Surrounded by mountains, the stone cliff stands upright, the lowest place is not less than a hundred zhang high, the bare ground is not long, the whole surface of the cliff is slightly concave inward, even the ape is difficult to climb, only the road with the road of the road is heavy and communicative with the outside world.

Du Qi was embraced by Jiang Nut and the others, and walked straight to a tall palace-like building in the village in the middle of the village.

Jiang Nut introduced: "That is the office building for the daily deliberations of the village, and it is also the place to receive VIPs. ”

Du Qi saw that the office building stood lonely in the center of the villa, it seemed to have two or three floors, the gate was high and wide, and the momentum was magnificent, far taller and majestic than the other buildings in the village, and the eight Zhuang Ding stood on both sides of the gate, showing a solemn atmosphere, making people feel awe and worship for no reason.

When they came to the front of the building, the eight Zhuang Ding stood relatively upright as if they were not squinting, Jiang Jie quickly climbed the five steps in front of the door, stood sideways by the gate, and made a gesture to everyone to invite in, but he didn't say a word.

Jiang Jingzhi and Jiang Nut accompanied Du Qi and the others, and the rest of the accompanying masters and Zhuang Ding stayed in front of the steps, and did not move forward with Du Qi and the others.

Entering the door, everyone found that they were in a huge and empty hall, and more than 100 candles in the hall were shining, illuminating a statue at the end of the hall.

Jiang Jingzhi: "This is the first generation of my Jiang family's ancestor, and this hall and statue were all created by him himself." ”

Everyone stood in the door and looked up at the statue from afar, saw that his face was refreshing, his appearance was lifelike, about fourteen or fifteen zhang high, standing on a huge pedestal made of white marble polishing and masonry, there was a huge furnace made of whole topaz in front of the statue, the tripod was full of burning incense candles, the cigarette smoke was curling, ethereal rising, lining the statue seemed to want to fly away from the air, giving people a feeling of fluttering immortals.

There is a hall on the left and right sides of the hall, and the front and right sides are the welcome hall and the council hall respectively, and the hall doors are all next to the temple gate.

The furnishings in the living room are also very simple, there is a huge potted pine at one end of the door, two mahogany low chairs are placed along the wall, and several precious flowers and plants are hung on the wall, giving people a simple and bright and noble and elegant feeling.

At this time, an old man who looked to be about sixty years old, although he seemed a little sluggish, but he had a terrifying momentum, giving people a feeling of arrogance and domineering, hearing someone come in, he looked up at the door with some difficulty, raised his hand tremblingly to signal to everyone, and said weakly: "Please take a seat!" ”

Jiang Nut said: "My father is sick and can't get up to greet all the distinguished guests, please also invite you Haihan." ”

Only then did everyone know that the person was Jiang Jingyan, the owner of Maple Forest Villa. In the polite voice, Du Qi and the others sat down in the guest seats in order under the guidance of the waiter, while Jiang Jingzhi and Jiang Nut sat under Jiang Jingyan in turn. Jiang Jingyan saw that Du Qi was in the first place, but Jin Dachuan and the others had no objections, and couldn't help but be surprised, obviously because he didn't know Du Qi's position in the Llama Gang.

Jiang Jingyan saw everyone sitting still, sat up a little straighter with the help of a waiter, and habitually glanced at everyone before he said weakly: "In order to thank the friends of the Luoma Gang for their help, Jingyan specially prepared a thin wine, a little heart, I hope you must not be too simplistic." ”

Jin Dachuan hurriedly said politely, Du Qi saw Jiang Jingyan's extremely weak demeanor, and suddenly his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Seeing that the owner of the village is gray but not defeated, light but not dark, slightly ruddy in the pale, and still alive in the ashes, and there are no symptoms of illness or poisoning, I don't know if it is because he has gone mad or is overworked?" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned, not knowing that Du Qi still had the ability to identify and diagnose diseases, Jiang Jingyan was even more secretly surprised, but said: "I don't know what disease I am suffering from, I have been tortured to death for more than a year, alas!" It's miserable, it's miserable! ”

Du Qi saw that Jiang Jingyan's face suddenly appeared in surprise and horror after hearing his words, and a trace of complicated and incomprehensible expression flashed away, obviously insincere, and he had no intention of inviting him to further examine his physical condition, so he couldn't help laughing at himself: "Ha! It turned out that the owner of the village was suffering from a strange disease, and the kid was blind, ha! ”

The huge candle in the hall was hot, and before I knew it, it was already night, and it happened that the waiter brought wine and food at this time, and everyone was busy pushing the glass and changing the lamp, talking about the wine, and inadvertently prevaricating this topic.

It was a banquet, the atmosphere was relaxed and warm, and the guests and hosts were all happy!

Although Maple Grove Villa rarely has foreign visitors, it also has a welcome building for guests to rest. The welcome building is located on the left rear side of the office building, and is only separated by one street and two walls from the Zhuang Lord's Mansion directly behind.

Jiang Nut personally sent Du Qi and the others into the welcome building with a bit of alcohol, arranged everyone's accommodation, followed into Du Qi's room, turned back and bolted the door, lit the candles in the room, listened attentively, and said to Du Qi: "Du Gongzi, there is something to ask for below, I don't know if Gongzi can help?" ”

Du Qi sat in the chair under the concession of Jiang Nut and stared at Jiang Nut and said: "The young owner of the village has something to instruct, as long as it is within his ability, he will never give in." ”

Jiang Nut said happily: "My father wants to invite Du Gongzi to go to a talk, I don't know what Gongzi wants?" ”

Du Qi pondered: "Is this the meaning of the young owner or the will of the father?" ”

Jiang Nut said: "I am here to invite my son on my father's orders, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Du Qi was surprised: "Oh? My father doesn't seem to be very happy that I'm nosy. ”

Jiang Nut said: "That's why my father ordered me to come down to invite him, in order to show his sincerity, if the son really doesn't want to go, none of us dare to have any complaints." ”

Du Qi suddenly said: "Guizhuang relies on natural hazards, the defense is tight, and there are Zhuang Ding patrolling day and night in the village, which can be described as solid, even if it is difficult for flies to fly into one, it is the Jedi of the young people, may I ask Jiang Shaozhuang, how did Niu Yang enter the village, and it seems that he took the small box without much effort?" ”

Jiang Nut said: "This matter is purely accidental, because we have never been stolen, the items in the village are not deliberately collected, regardless of the high or low, who would have thought that Niu Yang took advantage of the darkness of the night to go down from a cliff rope, and actually stole the most precious family heirlooms in our village." ”

Du Qi said: "The lowest cliff around Guizhuang is not less than a hundred feet high, so how big a pile of rope does it take, can Niu Yang carry it to the top of the mountain by himself?" ”
