Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu looked at each other and knew that Brother Lei was not telling the truth. It seemed that he was not as honest as he looked.
Soon, everyone reached the top of the mountain. Two tall watchtowers appeared first. There were at least two sentries standing in each watchtower. From their stern faces, it could be seen that they had undergone some training.
The wall is built with stones and is three feet thick. It looks very heavy and directly protects the village.
At this time, there was someone greeting them at the door. He was a man in his thirties, bookish, thin, and pale. Upon seeing the two of them, he immediately walked forward with a smile.
"I heard from my brothers down the mountain that two distinguished guests are visiting us. I apologize for not welcoming them in person!"
Mu Gu cupped his hands towards the man and said, "Second Master, you are too polite."
Both he and Xiao Ruge realized that this person was Qiao Jun, the military strategist of Luo Yun Village.
Qiao Jun was not too surprised when his identity was revealed. After all, how could two people who dared to rush to the top of the mountain not know the situation in Luo Yun Village?
A few people exchanged a few words at the door, and then Qiao Jun led the two people inside.
Once you enter the wall, you'll see a completely different scene.
The large open space on the left is the parade ground, where a group of people are training, shouting and yelling, and it looks quite serious.
The right side has been reclaimed and turned into a vegetable field. The green vegetables are growing well, and you can tell at a glance that someone has taken good care of them.
In addition to men, there are also many women and children in this village.
The women were mending clothes and making shoes, and from time to time they looked up at the children playing not far away. They all had relaxed smiles on their faces, unlike those in other mountain villages, who did not look bitter or resentful.
Although they looked a little thinner, everyone was in good spirits and it seemed that the entire village was well managed.
Soon, the two were brought into a hall. In the center of the hall hung a large plaque with three large characters inscribed on it - "Juxian Hall".
The font is vigorous and powerful, seemingly written by the great calligrapher Sa of the previous dynasty, but there are some differences in the strokes, so I think it should be a copy.
Sitting in the center of the Juxian Hall was a man as tall as a small mountain. He had a rough face and a bold sitting posture. One could tell at a glance that he was a man who dared to speak and act.
"You two, this is the head of our Luo Yun Village, Luo Sibao."
Luo Sibao didn't stand up either. He just stared at the two of them with his leopard eyes and waved to Qiao Jun.
When Qiao Jun saw this, he walked over with a smile and was pulled by him to sit on the large wooden chair.
"You didn't even bother to put on a cloak before you went out. You're still sick! Do you want to make me feel uncomfortable or what?"
Luo Sibao put a black cloak on Qiao Jun as if no one was around, and held Qiao Jun's hand tightly with his big hand like a palm-leaf fan. It was obvious at a glance that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.
Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu looked at each other and both raised their eyebrows, but did not express any opinions.
After all, this is a matter between Luo Sibao and the other person, and has nothing to do with them.
After Luo Sibao showed concern for Qiao Jun, he reached out to Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, motioning them to sit down and talk.
"I heard from my brothers that you two have something important to tell me? What is it?"
Even when they were talking, Luo Sibao did not let go of Qiao Jun's hand, and Qiao Jun was held as usual, as if there was nothing strange about this between two men.
After reading it, Xiao Ruge understood that it seemed that the king of Luo Yun Mountain liked men, and the man he loved was Qiao Jun.
"I wonder if the boss has heard that the imperial court has sent an army to suppress the bandits?"
At this time, when they met the real owner, it was Mu Gu's turn to speak. He gently waved his folding fan and looked at Luo Sibao, his face full of mystery.
"I heard that the army arrived in Fuping County last night, didn't they?"
Luo Sibao smiled nonchalantly, propped up one leg and placed it on the big wooden chair, leaning back in a relaxed manner on the thick backrest, seeming not to take Lu Yu seriously.
Mu Gu was not in a hurry and continued to wave his folding fan. "The imperial court has sent 3,000 people this time, and they are determined to completely wipe out Luo Yun Mountain Stronghold."
Luo Sibao sneered after hearing this, "So what? The imperial court has sent troops here more than once or twice, and my Luoyun Village is still doing well!"
While the two were talking, Xiao Ruge kept observing Qiao Jun's expression.
She noticed that when she heard Mu Gu talking, a hint of worry flashed in Qiao Jun's eyes, and he did not look as relaxed as Luo Sibao.
She gently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Although Mu Gu beside her did not look back at her, he also felt her movement.
So Mu Gu said directly: "I know that Master Luo is not afraid of the imperial army, but can you guarantee that Luo Yun Village can always withstand the army's attack?"
"Even if you don't care about anything and die when you are at your wit's end, there are still other people in this village. If it really comes to a matter of life and death, can you bear to let the old, weak, women and children die with you?"
This made Luo Sibao speechless. Finally, Qiao Jun looked at Mu Gu and asked softly, "What exactly does Mr. Gu want to say?"
Mu Gu smiled, "What I want to say is very simple. As long as Luo Da Dangjia joins me, I can arrange for everyone in the village to be well taken care of, and there will definitely not be a single loss!"
Luo Sibao and Qiao Jun's faces changed when they heard this. They looked at Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge for a while, then looked at each other. Qiao Jun then spoke up and asked about their doubts.
"Who is Mr. Gu? Why are you doing this?"
"I can't tell you my real name. If you agree to join me, I will tell you my real name in the future. As for why I do this, I just want to protect myself. I think you two also know that the water in this capital is very deep!"
Mu Gu looked at the two of them with a smile, not revealing any information about his identity.
This is not a good thing for Luo Sibao and Qiao Jun.
Qiao Jun looked at him for a long while, then suddenly laughed, "Since Master Gu wants us to surrender, he must show some sincerity. Ambiguous words like this are not enough to win people's trust."
Qiao Jun is not a fool, so he would not be fooled by Mu Gu’s few words.
"Does Mr. Qiao have a damaged heart? If this continues, I'm afraid he won't live past the age of 35."
At this moment, Xiao Ruge broke the atmosphere and said a piece of news that made Luo Sibao change color.
"how do you know?"
In an instant, Luo Sibao, who had been a little lazy, sat up straight and stared at Xiao Ruge with his eyes, like a beast seeing its prey.
Mu Gu narrowed his eyes, stood up and blocked Xiao Ruge behind him, shaking the folding fan in his hand, still smiling.
