Chapter 424. 424. Rescue Lao Mu
The air was filled with smoke and dust left after the extinguishment of the fire, which was gray and fluttered in the sun.

A group of people are rushing to repair the bombed dock and retrieve the drifting ship.

He Wei with a pale face reappeared on the shore, followed by one of his sons and two grandsons.

"Grand Elder, there are explosives along the coast and around the forest." An old man came to report, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, not only because of running, but also because of fear, he raised his hand and wiped it with his sleeve, " All the explosives found have been received in one place."

He Wei's face turned ashen, "Search again, don't miss anything! Be careful of forbidden places!" There are many "forbidden places" in the forest, and the nearby trees are all marked. Although my own people know it, they have to observe carefully to avoid it.They usually don't go into the woods, for fear that one will accidentally step on a mine.

He Wei's eldest son, He Yun, took half a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Father, we still have an important hostage, and that group of people will not come again. But that bitch Sheng Yue, has he really been given by Gu Ling... ..."

Seeing He Yun making a beheading gesture, He Wei stared at the direction where Qiu Jing left, "Do you think it's a good thing that Sheng Yue was killed by Gu Ling?"

"Of course it's a good thing!" He Wei's eldest grandson, He Peng, sneered, "That bitch, who is used to currying favor with his master, has been fighting with grandpa for the second place on the island. It would be better to die outside!"

However, He Wei shook his head and said in a low voice, "You are all too short-sighted. None of the things we want to do can be accomplished. No matter how you say it, Sheng Yue is from Xingluo Island. He can die, but at this time, yes There is no benefit for us. I still hope that he can catch Gu Ling back, and many things will not be a problem."

He Peng frowned, "Grandpa's words are reasonable. But from what Qiu Jing said, Sheng Yuezhen took Gu Ling away. If he was fine, he should have come back long ago! Unless he didn't come back on purpose, he had other intentions! I always I feel that the person surnamed Sheng is not the same as us, and I don’t know what he is planning.”

He Yun agreed with his son's opinion.

He Wei sighed, "Don't talk about it, it's useless to guess. First stabilize the island, take precautions, and keep an eye on that surnamed Mu."

He Peng snorted softly, "Don't worry, grandpa. That group of people dared to shout outside the island, and finally ran away without leaving one person. They dare not go to the island again, knowing that there will be no return!"

"Don't take it lightly!" He Wei frowned.

"Yes." The children and grandchildren beside him said in unison.But looking at the expressions of his two grandsons, it was obvious that the crisis had passed, and He Wei was too nervous.

Walking to the side of the pier, He Peng mentioned Min Rou again, "It's all my cousin's fault! Should I send someone to get rid of her? Otherwise, the hatred in my heart will be hard to get rid of!"

He Wei's complexion darkened, and he scolded angrily, "What nonsense? She must have been controlled by Su Liang and Gu Ling with some evil means, otherwise how could she do something unfavorable to Xingluo Island?"

He Yun noticed that the people who were repairing the pier were all looking this way, with a strange look on their faces, and gave He Peng a hard look, then raised his voice and said, "Su Liang is best at deceiving people, maybe Rou'er has already been used by her." Damn, you still say this, don’t you make your grandfather even more sad? At the beginning, the master asked Rou’er and your aunt to go to the capital of the Qian Kingdom to work as an internal response. We didn’t agree, but we can only listen to the master’s arrangement.”

He Peng met He Wei's cold gaze, reacted, shut up silently, and took his younger brother to join the team searching for explosives.

In fact, the He family knew very well that it was Min Rou who sold the location of Xingluo Island.Because after Lao Mu and Cen Man found Xingluo Island, the old man who sent Min Rou's family away from Xingluo Island went to He Wei alone and mentioned that Min Rou had contacted his chart.Other than that, there is no other possibility.

The He family wished to strangle Min Rou to death with their own hands, including He Wei.Because as long as the location of Xingluo Island is not exposed, they can always hide in the dark and take the initiative.Once exposed, this kind of thing happened today, and today is just the beginning.As Lao Mu said, it will be difficult for He Wei to sleep peacefully in the future.

But He Wei is determined not to admit that "his granddaughter betrayed Xingluodao".Because this is a serious blow to his prestige on the island, especially after today's aggrieved incident of being beaten up and threatened, and one of his own people died, the people on Xingluo Island are full of anger and resentment. In the beginning, not many people thought about how Lao Mu and Cen Man found them, and how Qiu Jing led his troops to find Xingluo Island, but not everyone knew about Min Rou's defection to the enemy.

He Wei could only insist that her daughter and granddaughter were sent by Mo Yan to work in the capital of Qianguo, not arranged by him, and even opposed by him, because it would be very dangerous.And he firmly insisted that both He Qianqian and Min Rou fell into Su Liang's hands, and their lives and deaths were uncertain. Even if they leaked the news about Xingluo Island, it must be because Su Liang used magic to control their minds, absolutely not voluntarily.

But obviously, He Wei's grandson, He Peng, is a little bit mentally disabled, so he couldn't hold back from scolding Min Rou in public.But they forgot that Min Rou is from their He family.

He Wei patrolled around and made deployments. He arranged eight teams and divided them into two groups. Afterwards, no matter day or night, people would patrol the shore. Once any ships were found approaching, they would immediately send out a signal to report.

Another elder on the island raised a question, "If we don't have that hostage surnamed Mu, that group will be able to blow up the island with impunity when they come again. How can we resist then?"

He Wei frowned, "As long as we can find out in advance, we can blow up their ships before they attack the island! Or we can arrange people to sail to fight!"

"But the number of people we can use now... is getting less and less." The elder sighed deeply, "The other party has the entire land force, this time only five hundred, and next time it will be 50. can have."

After listening to He Wei's words, everyone who thought it was not a big problem started talking again, and the sense of crisis became more and more serious.No matter how high their martial arts are individually, how can they withstand the encirclement of thousands of troops and the firing of thousands of arrows?They have dynamite, the other has more.Is it necessary to rely on a hostage to ensure the safety of Xingluo Island in the future?

Someone mentioned Sheng Yuelai, "It would be great if Mr. Sheng was here. Master said that he is the most resourceful person on the island."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere instantly became a little delicate.

There are not many people on the island, but it is also a small society. It is closed all the year round, so naturally there are groups.The He family has been favored by Mo Yan for many years, and He Wei is absolutely inferior to everyone else on the island, with deep roots and many followers.Sheng Yue came out in the past two years. Although he is young, he has extremely high martial arts skills and a shrewd mind. Mo Yan trusts him more and more and entrusts him with many important tasks. The domineering people began to secretly join forces with Sheng Yue.

He Wei sighed deeply, "The old man is also very worried about Sheng Yue. I'm really afraid that as Qiu Jing said, he captured Gu Ling, but something happened on the way back. It is extremely serious for Xing Luodao. loss."

As soon as these words came out, the people who originally followed Sheng Yue murmured in their hearts: If Sheng Yue really died outside, it would be unwise for them to fight He Wei again.So this group of people became more and more silent, and even if they had opinions, they thought it over and over again and dared not speak out easily.

Someone asked when Mo Yan would leave customs, and He Wei said he didn't know either.Over the years, Mo Yan always retreats from time to time, ranging from three to five days to three to five months, during which time he sees no one except one of his servants.

As dusk fell, Qiu Jing and his party had already left Xingluo Island a long way away, and they were speeding back.Someone found that there was one person missing on the boat, and when asked, Qiu Jing only said that "Qi Jun" went to do other things.

At this time, Gu Ling was taking a nap in the rockery in the garden of the city lord's mansion on Xingluo Island. The surroundings were quiet, and no one noticed that their greatest enemy had sneaked into the island.

Thanks to Sheng Yue not coming back, all the subordinates he took out were disposed of by Gu Ling, and naturally no news of him came back. During the day, Qiu Jing and He Wei had a conversation about Sheng Yue and Gu Ling, which led to Xingluo Island People on the street suspected that something had happened to Sheng Yue, and many people even thought that he would never come back.And this also gave them a subconscious impression: Gu Ling was captured by Sheng Yue, and Qiu Jing didn't know where he was, so it must be impossible for him to be in the team that attacked Xingluo Island this time.

Otherwise, why didn't Gu Ling show up and ask Qiu Jing to preside over the overall situation?
This is a good question, but including He Wei, no one on Xingluo Island thought of this level.Otherwise, they should think about it carefully. Qiu Jing left Gu Ling's master as the last hostage so readily. Could it be that he really didn't want to save everyone?Is there no one to take care of the last hostage?
Of course there are.Gu Ling dived into the water at that time, and hid under the boat that Xingluo Island returned after transporting the hostages, and smoothly approached Xingluo Island in front of everyone's eyes, without anyone noticing.When he was closest to He Wei, only three meters away, He Wei was on the shore and he was in the water.

By the time He Wei took the last hostage, Lao Mu, back to the City Lord's Mansion from the shore, Gu Ling had already landed from another hidden location, walked through the woods, and approached the City Lord's Mansion.

The minefields can really work for people who don't know anything about them. If you want to avoid the mines knowing that there are mines, there is a very simple way, just don't walk from the ground.This is very simple for Gu Ling.Although it was his first visit, with the detailed information provided by Min Rou, he basically knew the location and distribution of the buildings on the island.

And because of her secret actions, Gu Ling even arrived at the City Lord's Mansion half a quarter earlier than He Wei and his party.

At that time, He Wei and the other people on Xingluo Island were full of anger, and they never thought that an enemy would come to the island, let alone Gu Ling.After all, their minefields are still there. As for the fact that the minefields have been exposed to the enemy today, they have not had time to consider it.And even if you think about it, you will think it is a deterrent to the enemy, and no one will rush in.

Therefore, when He Wei dragged Lao Mu with his own hands and shut him back to a well-guarded dungeon again, Gu Ling watched from a safe distance.After confirming the location where Lao Mu was imprisoned, Gu Ling left.

There are many masters on the island, and Gu Ling acted very carefully. He wanted to go to the forbidden area that Min Rou mentioned, but unfortunately, the forbidden area was very tightly guarded, and there was no breakthrough at all, so he avoided it far away.

Gu Ling's primary purpose is to save people.As long as Lao Mu can be taken away safely, next time he can truly lead troops to raz Xingluo Island, so there is no need to worry about it.

Therefore, Gu Ling did not search everywhere in the City Lord's Mansion during the day, but chose a hidden location to rest and wait for the action at night.There was only one hostage left, so there must be quite a few people guarding Lao Mu, if one was not careful, the other party would react first and threaten Lao Mu's life to show up, that would be bad.

Therefore, when Gu Ling was resting, she was planning a perfect plan.

The wet clothes were already dry.Gu Ling looked at the brilliant stars in the night sky through the gap in the rockery.In fact, he suspected that Sheng Yue had gone to the capital. During the day, he thought about whether to rescue some people first, and rushed home immediately.But in the end reason made him choose to stay and finish what he had to do.Because he has wings now, it is impossible for him to return home immediately. If something happens at home, it will be too late for him to go back now.The root of everything lies in Xingluo Island. After he solves the troubles here, he may have a greater initiative in facing Shang Shengyue.

Midnight is approaching, only the sound of the night wind and the chirping of insects and birds are all around.

Gu Ling came out of the rockery like a black feather, following the route she had scouted during the day, avoiding the eyeliner in the city lord's mansion, and left quickly.

When the day came, Gu Ling walked through the dense forest from the tree, and found the mark of the place where the landmine was buried in the forest.This is inevitable, as long as you look for it carefully, you will be able to see it, otherwise the mine will be buried without a mark, and sooner or later it will blow up your own people.

Gu Ling chose a place, and threw a few stones over at a distance.

An explosion froze the people who were assigned to patrol the shore for the first time tonight, and immediately sent a signal of enemy invasion.

Soon, a second explosion sounded from another direction.

The third sound, the fourth sound, the fifth sound...

The sound made the patrolling people palpitate, and soon He Wei summoned the island's experts.

"It must be to save that person surnamed Mu!" The second elder frowned fiercely, "If you can't do it clearly, you will come here secretly!"

A young man who was originally following Sheng Yue changed his expression and muttered, "No... They should have discovered the landmines we planted in the forest during the day, how dare they go to the island rashly..."

But this man was standing behind, and at the same time someone else was expressing his opinion, his voice was only heard by the people around him, but they couldn't hear him clearly, so he patted him to remind him to shut up and not to make He Wei unhappy by talking nonsense.Without Sheng Yue, the He family couldn't understand them.

"Great Elder, I don't know how many people have come, shall we go out to fight?" a person asked.

He Wei stared, "Stay guarding the City Lord's Mansion and don't go out."

"Grandpa, what if someone of them goes through the forest and throws explosives at the City Lord's Mansion?" He Peng asked.

"They are here for the hostages, and they will capture them and hold them in our hands. Let's see who dares to act rashly! At that time, no matter who or how many people come, for the sake of the hostages' lives, they must obediently put down their weapons and capture them without a fight!" Congratulations Yun said coldly that many people spoke up to express their agreement.

There was a report from outside the meeting hall, and the patrolling people ran back.No one wanted to stay on the shore and guard, if any enemies came, they would be the first ones to attack them.

He Wei listened to what you said and what I said around you, hurry up and catch the hostages.Without knowing the situation of the enemy, the hostage is their best shield.

"There are so many people going to the island, how could there be no boats? Didn't they see it when they were patrolling..." The young man who felt that something was wrong muttered in a low voice, but he couldn't hold it back. He thought of reminding He Wei, but was caught by his The companion dragged away.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you know that He Peng was planning to trouble us? Mr. Sheng hasn't come back, so we'd better be careful."

"I just think it's a little strange." The man frowned. It's possible that he didn't see the ship. After all, there were not many people patrolling, but why did the explosion sound every once in a while, and the interval was about the same?But think about it, although it is too coincidental, it is not impossible.He didn't think clearly for a while, and finally shut up silently under the persuasion of his companions.

The master guarding the dungeon received an order: immediately take the hostages to the chamber.

Lao Mu was sleeping, when he was suddenly pulled up, he was still a little confused, "Where are you going?"

No one answered.He was carried out by two people, and the iron chains on his feet dragged on the ground, making a crisp knocking sound.

After leaving the dungeon, Lao Mu took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, he was already awake.She wasn't blindfolded and gagged, so it seems that the matter is urgent?Could it be that his apprentice came to rescue him?

As soon as he had this idea, Lao Mu heard a very slight strange sound coming from beside him, and the two people holding him fell to the ground after a short time.

Lao Mu almost couldn't stand still, and when he lowered his head, he saw a blood hole between the eyebrows of the two of them, and his eyes brightened immediately: It must be his apprentice!
"There are thorns..." A person not far away fell dead before he could utter the last word.

Lao Mu didn't see where Gu Ling was hiding and fired the cold shot, it must be moving, and everything that happened after that was done before the first shot was fired, the speed was unbelievably fast, there was no time for these people to react, And the night was an excellent cover for him.The nail gun is the best assassination weapon, there is almost no sound, and it can only be detected when it is very close.

These are all very strong masters, but they didn't know that someone had sneaked into the city lord's mansion, and they didn't even know that they were the doomed cannon fodder in Gu Ling's careful plan.

All the masters in the city lord's mansion except the dungeon were summoned to the conference hall, so when Gu Ling hid in the dark and counted the timing, and precisely put down the people around Lao Mu, she quickly appeared and yelled "" "Master," the cold moon sword that had been drawn was lifted up, and the light of the sword illuminated Lao Mu's excited face.

Lao Mu understood instantly, stretched his feet that were bound by iron chains apart, and raised his hands.

The cold moon sword slashed twice, and Lao Mu's limbs were free again. Gu Ling put a few medicines in his mouth while retracting the sword.I don't know if Lao Mu was poisoned or what kind of poison he got, but Zuo just loosened his tendons or sealed his internal energy, so Gu Ling directly gave him any possible antidote.

Everything happened very quickly, and when a person who appeared not far away realized something was wrong and shouted, Gu Ling had already carried Lao Mu on her back and rushed into the lush garden.

There was no one guarding the garden during the day, and Gu Ling was quite familiar with it, so she carried Lao Mu on her back for a while, and when she left the garden, Lao Mu felt that his body had almost recovered, and asked Gu Ling to put him down.And Lao Mu's martial arts are not as good as Lao Bai and Qiu Cong's, but his lightness kung fu is quite powerful.

When He Wei and the other masters on Xingluo Island were waiting for Lao Mu to be brought over, and then took Lao Mu to confront the enemy on the island, they received a bad news: the hostage was taken away as soon as he got out of the dungeon!

On the other side, after the mines exploded several times, they didn't even see a single person who broke into the island.

The young man who always felt strange looked shocked, and blurted out, "Shock!"

He Wei's expression was as if struck by lightning, and he was furious, "It's been tricked! Hurry up!"
