Chapter 0407: Dugu Villa (1)
"I heard that martial law at the city gate has been lifted, so I guess the assassin has been caught."
"That person is so bold, he actually dared to sneak attack the Taishou Mansion, I really don't know how to die."
"Whatever, let's just patrol, maybe there are comrades, if you catch one, the bounty is quite a lot..."
Two ordinary patrol soldiers, passing by the haystack where the name badge was hiding, looked idle. Mingzhang was motionless at the moment, listening to the movement outside.
After a while, Mingzhang suddenly heard a hissing sound, followed by water flowing in from the haystack. It's raining, no, it doesn't sound like it's raining. Mingzhang's body was drenched with water, and he suddenly smelled a smug smell, which was no doubt that it was urine. Mingzhang held back his disgust and anger, if it had been before, he would have killed the other party with a sword. However, at this time, his body became a little numb, although he still had the ability to kill the two officials in front of him, but he also understood that he would be exposed because of this, and with his current state, the only thing that awaited him after exposure was a dead end.
Mingzhang endured it, he really endured this shame.
After a while, the urine stopped, and the two patrol officers left. Mingzhang didn't expect that the two officials didn't go far before they came to the corner, and it was Xiao Yue who was waiting here.
"My lord, there is really someone inside, the smell of this kid's urine can stun the dog, and the person inside can actually bear it, it seems that he must be a master with strong endurance."
The other official on the side seemed to acquiesce to what he had just said, and he seemed to be proud of his uniqueness.
In the dead of night, pedestrians on the streets returned home early, and there were few soldiers patrolling.
Mingzhang endured this for a day and a night, and finally prepared to act on the night of the next day, if he didn't go out of the city again, he might not have a chance to go out of the city.
Mingzhang endured the severe pain and began to grope his way towards the city gate.
If it was in the past, the city gate would have been closed a long time ago, but today is different, the city gate is sparse and there are still people out of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city are just routine inspections and let people out of the city.
Mingzhang has no doubts, even if he has some doubts, he must go out of the city today, he still has a little strength, it's a big deal to do it again, and he is still fifty percent sure of dealing with a few soldiers defending the city.
Sure enough, the soldiers at the city gate left the city after a few simple questions.
Mingzhang finally went out of the city, a kind of ease of flying into the sea for nine days, but he didn't expect that there were already countless people behind him, and not far away, there were several pairs of black-armored troops who were already ready to go, waiting for Fang Jue to convey the order.
Although the night was dark, for the name of the old rivers and lakes, this could not hinder his urgency to return to a safe place to heal.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that Mingzhang finally saw the destination he was going to reach, and a mountain villa appeared in his eyes, although it was night at the moment, there were still lights in the village, and the lights seemed to be waiting for a person who would return late.
An old man with gray hair and a half-beard was meditating in his room, his eyes blurred as he watched the flickering candle flame in front of him, but he had one thing in mind. He is the head of the Huashan faction, Yue Biqun.
"Master, Senior Brother is back."
A disciple reported to Yue Biqun in the house at the door. Yue Biqun suddenly opened his eyes, and the candle flame in front of him seemed to feel a murderous aura, and began to sway as if fleeing for his life.
Yue Biqun came to the living room, and at this moment Mingzhang was already paralyzed on the ground, being supported by several junior disciples.
"Brother Yue, who was injured by Mingzhang Xian's nephew."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be younger than Mingzhang, but this was just the appearance, his real age was only half a year younger than Yue Biqun, the head of Huashan. He is the owner of this mountain villa, and his name is Duguming.
At this moment, Mingzhang finally returned home, and as soon as his body relaxed, the pain on his back was like an iron nail nailed to his heart, and the pain made him faint immediately.
When Yue Biqun examined Mingzhang's wounds, he found that there were such hidden weapons in the world.
"What a vicious secret weapon."
Although Yue Biqun took out the hidden weapon on the back of the name medal, he knew that if it weren't for his apprentice's super endurance, I am afraid that this bone-rubbing pain would also hurt people to death.
"Brother Yue, don't worry, I have good gold sore medicine in Dugu Villa, and within a month, Mingzhang Xian's nephew will be fine."
Although Dugu Ming was a little curious, who could hurt the name of the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, Yue Biqun didn't say it, and he couldn't force it.
Dugu Ming and Yue Biqun have been friends for many years, and this time Yue Biqun came to Dugu Villa, just to bring his disciples out to experience the experience, and come by to see his best friends.
Dugu Ming didn't know that his long-time friend would cause big trouble to his villa.
Fang Jue's people locked on to the target and surrounded the entire Dugu Villa, but they did not immediately attack.
For the regular army of Jiangning County, the small villa was only an easy task, but Xiao Yue, who received the order, hesitated, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't dare. For Xiao Yue, who was born in the rivers and lakes, he can clearly know the status of the owner of Dugu Villa in the rivers and lakes.
Dugu Ming, I dare not say that the entire Celestial Empire is indeed very famous in the rivers and lakes in Jiangning County. Dugu Ming is not only strong in martial arts, but also chivalrous and righteous, and is better at making friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes. His connections are very extensive, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as he shouts alone, half of the people in Jiangning County will cater to him.
Xiao Yue knew that if he broke in to ask for someone, he would definitely offend Dugu Ming, so he was waiting for Fang Jue and decided to have Fang Jue go down in person.
Fang Jue didn't know Dugu Ming very well, but when he heard Xiao Yue introduce this, he began to think about it in his heart.
This chapter did enter Dugu Villa, if the mastermind behind this scene was really the owner of this villa, Dugu Ming, Fang Jue would have set foot on this Dugu Villa even if he risked offending half of the rivers and lakes, but if not, then there was no need to invite this trouble. After all, Mingzhang is a disciple of the Huashan faction, and the relationship with Dugu Villa is still uncertain.
The government and troops gathered around Dugu Villa, how could Dugu Villa not know.
When Dugu Ming heard this, his face suddenly sank, he already understood that the army around the villa must have been given by the famous seal, but he didn't understand that although the Huashan faction was famous in the rivers and lakes, he still didn't understand where the name and seal came from to offend the people in the official mansion.
The affairs of the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, and few people in the rivers and lakes are willing to have anything to do with the government. Dugu Ming looked at the scheming Yue Biqun, although he didn't want to turn his face to the old friend in front of him, he had to at least give himself a reasonable explanation.
Yue Biqun was a little annoyed with his disciple, why was he so careless, seeing Dugu Ming's eyes at this moment, he knew that he should give Dugu Ming an explanation.
"This is all a disaster caused by my disciple, and the reason is borne by my Huashan faction, Brother Dugu, someone Yue will take his disciple out of the villa now, and he will never affect Brother Dugu."
Yue Biqun knew that what Dugu Ming wanted to hear was not these, and the dignified Dugu Villa, if he couldn't even protect his friends, then how could he mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.
This Yue Biqun obviously pulled Dugu Ming into the water, no matter what happened next, it was impossible for Dugu Ming to stay out of the matter, and he Yue Biqun also pretended to be unwilling to involve the other party at the moment, but he was scheming in his heart.
Mingzhang, as a big disciple of the Huashan faction, is also Yue Biqun's proud successor, since Mingzhang was attached to the Chu family, imperceptibly, Yue Biqun had to be coerced to join the Chu family. Yue Biqun came to Dugu Villa this time, and it was also at the suggestion of his apprentice, and of course, he was also the instigation of the Chu family to come and win over Dugu Ming of Dugu Villa.
Dugu Ming's reputation is very good, and he has a certain appeal in the rivers and lakes, if he is attached to the Chu family, the power of the Chu family will be even greater, and more importantly, Dugu Villa is in Jiangning, if he acts in the future, the effect is self-evident.
At this moment, Yue Biqun knew that Dugu Ming was an upright person, so of course he didn't dare to explain his intentions, but made up a set of rhetoric in a moment.
"Alas, in the final analysis, it's still my fault, I have a disciple who came to Jiangning to practice, but unexpectedly saw that the first evil young man in Jiangning County was bullying a girl, I often teach my disciples, walking the rivers and lakes to do chivalrous righteousness, punish evil and promote good, my disciple stepped forward to theorize, who knew that the evil young man didn't say a word, and actually instructed his subordinates to kill my disciple on the spot. I knew that the evil young man was quite powerful, and for the sake of the Huashan faction, I wanted to forbear, but I just took pity on my dead disciple. But who would have thought that I, the eldest disciple, would actually carry me behind my back and take a group of brothers to find that evil young man to take revenge. That's just... Alas..."
