Chapter 124: Fluke
When Gu Yu and the others were hiding underwater, the lights in the village were also bright, because they were all called up one by one not long after they had just fallen asleep, to be honest, although Zheng Qi and the others were far fewer in number than them, the authority of the descending master was terrifying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yue Rou stood in the middle of the village, watching the people in the village gather before she withdrew her gaze from the Hidden Moon Mountain, and turned her head to look at the people present.
His gaze swept over, and finally indifferently fell on the village chief, who was speechless at Shang Yuerou's gaze.
Zheng Qi and the others already had little idea what was going on, and now they saw that the villagers of Hidden Moon Village were particularly hostile, and their strength could indeed easily slaughter this village.
"I don't know why Miss Yue called us so late, isn't that snake demon here again?" the village chief asked kindly.
Yue Rou tilted her head lightly and said lightly: "The snake demon is terrifying, but I think that the people in your village are more worried about us than the snake demon. ”
The faces of the people in the village became unnatural one by one, and the village chief was quite calm, "I don't know what Yue Guniang means by this.....
Yue Rou lowered her eyes and looked at the soil under her feet, and her voice condensed: "I don't know how many tunnels under this loess have been dug up by the people of your village, and I don't know why the villagers of your village who have lived here for generations have recently designed the illusion of disappearance one by one, is it because the arrival of our people has hindered some of your plans?"
How could the people in the village not know that the secret had been revealed, and they were all gloomy, especially women and girls, but in fact there were only women and girls left in the village, or they were elderly.
Yue Rou only noticed this at this moment, and most of the people who disappeared before the secret path were young adults, and she didn't pay special attention to it, so she let the people in this village play around, which was far inferior to the newcomer Gu Yao.
She frowned slightly about this, and the village chief finally sank his face, looking at Zheng Qi and the others who showed unkindness and pulled out their weapons, "My lords, the ancestors of my people in Yinyue Village did rob tombs for a living, and they also dug a lot of tunnels underground, but now most of the descendants are good, is this also a crime? As for the disappearance of others, our women and children here really don't know, do you also have to ignore the rule formulated by the Northern Emperor that you must not hurt mortals?"
This old man is really not from the countryside, and he still knows how to threaten them?
Zheng Qi and the others, who wanted to do it, all changed their faces when they heard the name of the Northern Emperor, most of them were from the Beitang faction, and the Northern Emperor was the first sect on their side, and the masters in the sect were like clouds, and the rules were set by them, but if the regulations were violated, they had not yet done it, and they were first regarded as rebels and expelled.
How could they not be afraid?
"Are you threatening me with the rules of the sect? It's a pity that I'm not from the sect, they can't do it, but I can. Yue Rou glanced at the women, girls and children in the village, "But there may not be a need to do anything, and you will be held accountable by the rules of the world, the reason is that it is suspected that the students of Youzhou Junshu Academy who disappeared in Yinyue before are related to your village, these students are quite knowledgeable, even if they are from a poor family, they are the weight of Youzhou's participation in the imperial examination, not to mention that many of them are from Youzhou's powerful families, presumably the Criminal Division is happy to take over this matter." ”
At the beginning, the people in the village, especially the village chief, knew that after Master Lu's group left, they respected the man in white and this beautiful woman.
These words are understated, as if letting the dignified Criminal Division take over the case is just a matter of her words.
"I don't know what kind of family Miss Yue comes from, so I can let the Criminal Division come to our Yinyue Village to investigate and handle the case. "Not to mention that their Hidden Moon Village has already been named as an evil and chaotic person in Youzhou, and no one dares to handle murder cases, you must know that there are regulations for all homicide cases in Datang, and you can't come if you want the Criminal Division to come.
Yue Rou looked at the village chief, there was no concealment or arrogance, only a bland sentence: "Fan Yang Yue's family"
The Yue family, I don't know how many Yue families there are in Youzhou, but there is only one family that can hang Fan Yang in front.
Fan Yang Lu's family is respected, and only Lu is crowned with a clan, but Fan Yang's nobles are not only one, among which is the Yue family as the top five leaders - it is also a behemoth that makes Youzhou Thorn Shi Zuo Longzhou and Sima Kuai Zhengyun need to be treated with caution, you must know that they hold important positions, but they are individuals, if it is not for the strong foundation behind them, they will never dare to face these big families that have taken root for a hundred years.
Therefore, the village chief's face changed, and he lost his previous composure, and Yue Rou knew that he would be soft, so he said lightly: "I don't want to blame you for robbing tombs in the past, and I don't care about the causes and consequences of the past two years, after all, someone will deal with it when the time comes, and now I just want to know where your people took Li Daxiong." ”
Zheng Qi and the others actually cared more about the cause and effect than Li Daxiong, but since Yue Rou said so, they naturally wouldn't refute it, but secretly said that Yue Rou was a woman's benevolence, and she was blind to such a strong background.
The village chief's eyes flickered, the rest of the people trembled, and some wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, they were all silent.
Yue Rou frowned, she didn't expect these people to be so tenacious, as if they were scrupling about something, no, what were they waiting for!
"There is one person missing" Yue Rou suddenly sank her face and stared at the village chief, "Your grandson has run away"
The village chief didn't expect Yue Rou to be able to distinguish that there was one person missing from so many people, how did he know that Yue Rou silently recorded the population of the village after someone disappeared a few days ago, in order to protect them, but now it has become the root cause of her discovery!
I'm afraid that this village chief had a bad premonition when he was called, so he let his grandson escape in advance to report the news!
Will Gu Yu be in danger because of this? Yue Rou was very worried.
――――――――
The torches carried the firelight, and the group really chased them to the lake, but it was not targeted, anyway, there were many of them, and there were always people who could catch up with this road, and they passed by.
Gu Yu and Li Daxiong didn't know what the situation was by the lake, but they could faintly hear the shouts of those people underwater, and when the shouts approached, they both looked at each other underwater, it was dark, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but they both knew that the other party must be very nervous.
Fortunately, those people passed, and the fire on the shore began to fade.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to go ashore easily, and just when the two waited for a while and were about to go ashore, the fire came again!
The two were startled and had to continue to hide underwater.
But Gu Yu never imagined that it happened to be Second Uncle Kong who took this road, and when he crossed the lake, he paused, and his eyes looked sharply towards the lake.
"Second uncle, is there something wrong with this lake?" asked the people around him, and some people volunteered to go into the water to have a look.
Second Uncle Kong stared at the lake and said slowly: "Since you can run, you are naturally not particularly powerful, and you know that you can't deal with us." This place is familiar to us, they don't know the terrain, and they still have caves, they shouldn't be sure that they can escape our pursuit, and now they haven't found it, unless our people are not dedicated enough, or they are hiding. ”
Since he is hiding, isn't this lake an excellent place to hide? Second Uncle Kong's eyes were particularly deep when he looked at the lake, and the people next to him were already preparing to go into the water, and Gu Yu under the water saw that the firelight had not left and remained still, and he knew that the situation was not good, and he also suspected that the most cunning and sophisticated Second Uncle Kong might be here, otherwise those thieves would not have such a delicate mind to guess this lake.
Just when she was thinking that she and Li Daxiong might have to deal with each other's people underwater.
"Second uncle, Xiao Niuzi came over, saying that there was an accident on my uncle's side, it seems that Yue Rou and those people have found traces of our people, we have to withdraw quickly, otherwise we will wait for them to chase after us..."
Second Uncle Kong's face was heavy, he turned his head to look at the lake, and then looked at the many torches that were still moving in front of him, and when he was half-ringing, he waved his sleeves: "Everyone is all withdrawn, it seems that we have to advance." ”
"Second uncle, that cave is ....." someone hesitated.
"Incompetent capture, what a pity, don't care. Second Uncle Kong left directly with an expressionless face, and the rest of the people didn't say anything, and all retreated.
Gu Yu and Li Daxiong watched the fire fade again under the water, but they were afraid that there would be a turn, so they held on for a while.
Boom, the two of them finally came out of the water, there was no fire at the moment, and Gu Yu knew that these people were finally gone.
Li Daxiong gasped: "Huh, huh, huh, monkey, this tube is too thin, it almost didn't suffocate me, I must cultivate hard after returning to the mountain, this can't beat people and can only hide too hard! I don't know why those people came back to target this lake!"
Don't talk so much when you're tired, look at you panting like a dog!" Gu Yu glanced at him, swam ashore, wrung off the water from his clothes, and looked in the direction of the broken house, "But this Second Uncle Kong is indeed a character, and Jiang is still old and spicy." ”
She has always used her little smart sword to go sideways, but she also knows that she is not the only smart person in the world, and in the final analysis, the strong are respected.
"They seem to have encountered some accident and are going to go to the grave in advance, let's go, get out of here quickly. ”
Gu Yu secretly called it a fluke, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he and Li Daxiong quickly left the lake and re-embarked on the road they had taken before.
But they didn't know that there was a cliff on the peak of the Hidden Moon Mountain they were facing, and there was an old man in a big brown robe staring at the dark light that was particularly abrupt at the bottom of the mountain.
"Master, that's down there..."
Master Lu's expression was faint, "It's just a small underground, concentrate on finding the Five Elements Acupoint." He looked up and saw the stars in the sky, and suddenly frowned slightly.
On the other side, there is a towering tree in the forest in the mountain, which seems to be able to look down on the cliff and the clouds under the mountain, there is a black shadow squatting on this tree, the posture is very weird, and the cold eyes are staring at the sky, and the mouth is slightly open.
"The rainstorm is coming, and the great evil will be in the cave"
As soon as these words were said, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, which alarmed the Quartet!
