Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mountain Rain is Coming

On the night of the heavy rain, two purple-clothed ninjas, escorting a prisoner with a cloak and a fine iron shackle on his body, took advantage of the dim moonlight that loomed in the dark clouds to walk from the path to the wooden house with floor-to-ceiling windows where Kiyama lived. As soon as the three of them arrived at the front of the house, the large wooden lattice window was pushed open left and right, and Mu Shan and Lan Yi sat a few feet in the room, and Mu Ling stood aside.

I saw Mu Shan raise the emerald green teacup quite leisurely, as if inadvertently raising his eyes to look at the prisoner: "The division is guarded, I haven't seen you for several months, don't come unharmed?" ”

The prisoner with shackles at the foot of the stairs here seemed to have expected to be ridiculed by this, and said Sen Ran: "The Lord of the Mushan Hall laughed, at this moment the dog is barking in the hall, but the tiger is a guest under the stairs, I am afraid that I can't stand your guard title according to my current situation." ”

Mu Shan didn't feel annoyed when he heard Shi Lu's sarcasm, he just laughed and said: "Shi Lu, you, a prisoner under the ranks, can now be a little faster, but I'm afraid that the submission documents issued by your official printing over the years are enough for the Ming Emperor to delay your nine clans hundreds of times."

A pair of bright eyes appeared in the prisoner's messy hair, and he said hatefully: "Mushan, you small people, when the Korean generals and others led wolves into the house, I only hated that my father's official position was humble and it was difficult to get rid of traitors such as Er and others to the national princes. Now that the island is occupied by you and other doves, if you hadn't used the legacy of the prince to blackmail me, how could I have ended up like this by you. Pity the hundreds of families on this island who have died under your butcher's knives, and hundreds of my brothers ......" said with tears in their voices. "Tell me, what do you want to know from me this time?" Shi Lu recalled the grief, choked up and asked again.

However, Mu Shan, who was sitting in front of him, sneered: "Shilu, you don't behave there, if it weren't for your uncle's relationship, you would think that you would be able to sit on this five-grade guard at an age when you are not yet a weak crown?" If you hadn't been in a hurry to replace the veterans of the old garrison with your own men, how could I have imprisoned you so easily? If you had half a pity for those veterans, you wouldn't have left them alone. ”

Xu was suddenly spotted by Mu Shan and felt a little out of shape, Shi Lu coughed in embarrassment and asked, "Mu Shan, let me ask you, is the legacy of my benefactor's family okay now?" ”

This time, Mu Shan replied to him: "Hehe, it's okay for the time being, she still doesn't know her true identity, she only thinks that she is the daughter of Li Tong, the deputy general of General Lan Yu, who was later taken to the island by us." If you cooperate with us now, then she will continue to practice unconsciously, but if you don't finish this scene with us, then send her to the witch department to practice the same set back then, and then it will be up to your master to meet the Korean prince who favors you and your whole clan under the Nine Springs. ”

"Shrine maiden, what is a shrine maiden. Don't?. ”

"Haha, it seems that Master Shi hasn't broken his head in the water prison yet, if it wasn't for the help of the Tiandian witch in the first place, how could we easily get acquainted with ministers like Han Gong. But Master Shi, you don't want to underestimate us, we also killed hundreds of garrisons on Chongming Island, what kind of friendship will you really talk about when we are with that dead ghost country? It's just a mutual use, and as for his descendants, why don't you let her serve you tonight? ”

When Shi Lu, who had just spoken eloquently, heard Mu Shan's last words, his face was stunned at first, and then his face almost turned sauce-colored. He raised his shackled finger and looked at Mu Shan for a long time, but he didn't dare to say the curse after all. With a sigh, Shi Lu lowered his head and pondered for a long time. When he looked up again, the hesitant look he had just looked at had disappeared without a trace on his face.

"Mushan, what do you think of me?"

"We have received a secret report from the Ming Dynasty that Jinyiwei's recent investigation into the disappearance of officials' families has been suspected to be on this island, and I am afraid that there will be a visit to the island in a few days. Your uncle has a lot of acquaintances in the court, but he still needs you to deal with it. Lan Yi said for Mu Shan.

"Haha, young master Lanyi, aren't you known as the only one in the world in the art of disguise change, this time it's good to find another person to disguise into me, anyway, it's not the first time, shouldn't it be the human skin mask that I made in the past? Come on, I'll make one more for you. As he spoke, Shi Lu brushed away the miscellaneous hair covering his face with both hands, and leaned his face forward.

"Shilu, you keep saying that I, Dongying, want to blackmail you, but looking at your obscene look at this time, I don't have such a shameless appearance. Anyway, you're going to see the Chin Cha in a few days, so I'll make it clear to you for now. To tell you the truth, although you are a small five-grade garrison, you still know the etiquette of the imperial court to meet the superior, and recently I heard that Marquis An Yuan has begun to recruit and train the navy, but I don't know if this juncture is related to the situation on the island, or be careful. By the way, you will be out of prison in a few days to familiarize yourself with the environment on the island at the moment. Mu Shan changed his sarcastic tone just now and preached to Shi Lu gently.

"This time it's the Mushan I know, and when I use you, it's okay to be low. For the sake of you, your attitude is pretty good at this point. I'll promise you once more that after being in prison for so long, it's time to come out and relax. ”

Hearing Shilu's promise, Mu Shan, who thought he was going to be troubled, was quite surprised. He glanced at Shi Lu with some suspicion, thought for a moment in his heart, and took out a purple pill from his bosom: "This is the secret medicine in my palace, in order to ensure that this response goes smoothly, people like you still need to do some insurance measures." Of course, you only need to swallow the antidote before the child hour every day and you will be safe and sound. Speaking of which, it's not the first time you've swallowed such a drug, and we'll give you an antidote after you've dealt with it for us. I don't need to explain it anymore. ”

Shi Lu couldn't help but gasp when he saw the pill. Obviously, he knew the power of this pill, and after thinking about it for a long time, Shi Lu took the pill and said, "Okay, Mushan will do it for you again, but this time I take the risk of destroying the Nine Clans, so you have to give me some benefits." ”

"As long as you propose something that I can do, I will satisfy you once."

"Bring out a few beautiful girls from your witches, even if I get into the oil pot, I can't go on the road alone." Shi Lu, who was out of the way, gritted his teeth and said.

"I don't need to say what conditions I will put forward when you are there, I naturally know that you are a five-grade official, and you should find some people to serve you. Besides, don't those wine bags and rice bags in the court also need people to serve one or two? Hearing Shi Lu's request, Mu Shan suddenly said with a smile.

After Mushan begged, Lan Yi shouted outside the house: "Come on, take the division guard to change clothes." ”

"The teacher is guarded, and you Han habits are used to talk about things at the banquet. You go and change your clothes, and we'll wait for you to come back. ”

A few fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls had already rushed in and walked out around Shi Lu. However, Mu Shan and the others didn't see the meaningful smile that Shi Lu had just turned around.

Mu Shan, who was still smiling on his face just now, suddenly turned back to his face. I saw him beckoning from the darkness to the darkness: "Sansan, from today onwards, you will start to face a huge storm on the island with the master, you have to be ready." At that time, you have to keep an eye on him for me, and report to me at any time if he has any changes. ”

A slender figure walked out of the darkness, heard Mu Shan's command, lowered his head and clenched his fists, and after saluting back, he slowly retreated into the darkness.

This person is none other than Zhining.

…………………………………………………………………

Three days later, at night.

Several wooden boats docked on the west shore of the island, and hundreds of teenagers boarded the boat with Qing Ren, Li Yunlan, who had been selected into the Muzun Department, and several ninja attendants kept urging the teenagers to board the boat on the shore, and in the distance, Hongdou and Yu Han barely carried the half-unconscious Shen Shiyi to the side of the boat.

Li Yunlan looked at the figures of several people in the distance, and Mu Ling's words came to her mind: Shen Sansan was sent by the hall master to take care of the felons, and her role in this crisis is very important, I know that you and her have a disagreement on weekdays, but tonight we need to focus on the overall situation and send her family away safely, so that she can do things for us with peace of mind......

Hmph, send it away safely? Shen Sansan, you, I want you to regret being my enemy for the rest of your life.

"There is only one person left on this ship, you, get on this ship, the two of them wait for the next ship to be on board." Li Yunlan pointed at the red bean and scolded.

"The two of them haven't recovered yet, and I have to take care of them." When she saw Li Yunlan's red beans, she only thought that she wanted to disassemble the three of them, but she was forced to explain to Li Yunlan in desperation.

"Lord Qingnin, there are people here who don't get on the boat." Li Yunlan shouted towards Qing Ren not far away.

I saw a young man dodge over and throw the red bean onto the boat like a chicken. There was a bang, and by the time the dazed red bean got up, the boat had started. Hongdou wanted to shout loudly to the two of them, but as soon as the inhalation sound started, the other teenagers around him had turned their heads and glared at her angrily. It turned out to prevent the Ming army from sending small ships to conduct secret investigations, and before boarding the ship, the young men had been instructed not to make noise. Hongdou, who was standing on the boat, was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to speak loudly at the moment. can only slowly drift away from the shore with the boat, looking at the two people on the shore in a daze.

It looks like the sea breeze is blowing red eyes, and the red beans have an urge to stay with them at the moment.

"You two pieces of waste, don't have the qualifications to board the ship, go back." Li Yunlan glanced at Yu Han, who was struggling to hold Shen Shiyi, in disgust, and waved her hand.

A certain young ninja on the side was just about to answer, but he was immediately pulled back by the others, that is, he saw the existence of their head and waist a year ago, and now he has become their receiver. Who wants to offend this girl who has been entrusted with important tasks recently, and all the ninjas look sideways at the others. Just pretend not to know.

A sea breeze with a drizzle of rain blew, and the two sick teenagers could only hug each other tightly and rely on a little bit of weak body temperature to keep warm.
