Qing Zhe and other mushroom men showed sad expressions, and one of the mushroom men gritted his teeth and said: "It's all the fault of those damn lizard men."
Jiang Yue said with emotion: "Your Excellency Qingzhe, were you really attacked by the lizard men? How is that brother? No way..."
Qing Zhe has been observing Jiang Yue to see if he is cheating.
But looking at it, Jiang Yue's angry mood was obviously true, and he sighed softly: "Brother Gaoyu went out on patrol. As soon as he went out, he was attacked by a lizard man and unfortunately died."
Jiang Yue cursed loudly: "These damn lizard people are still here, chasing after them. Besides, they have a grudge against the three of us, why do they bite people indiscriminately? This matter has nothing to do with you guys, it's completely It’s a mad dog biting randomly!”
He spoke with righteous indignation, as if he was complaining for Qingzhe and the others, and his tone also seemed to have a hint of self-blame.
But he just stopped blaming himself and said nothing about the next step.
There was not even a polite word to invite them into the house to sit for a while, and because of Gao Yu's death, both sides were attacked by the lizard men, and they suddenly became closer, and there was no intention of further contact.
This made Qingzhe somewhat depressed, but on the surface, he really couldn't turn his back.
But Amang said displeasedly: "Your Excellency Zuyao, after all, these lizardmen are chasing you here because they are here for you. My Gaoyu brothers can be said to be innocent people implicated by you."
Jiang Yue did not deny this: "It is true that the Gaoyu brothers were a little unjust. However, these lizardmen are crazy and they are attacking the three of us. But to be on the safe side, I am afraid they will kill anyone who approaches us to avoid alerting the guards here." Come on, brother Gaoyu is implicated by us, so my personal advice is that if conditions permit, it is best for you to leave this area and stay away from us. So as not to be implicated again in the future. This time it is a lizard man. Who knows what will happen next? Who is it? I declined your invitation earlier because of this consideration."
injustice? Implicated by the innocent.
This is true.
But is this what I begged you to do? You keep inviting me to join your team, but I keep refusing. Who told you to keep licking your face and follow me?
If you don’t want to be implicated, retreat immediately. Why don't you just stay away from us? If we don’t stay away, someone might die later. Are we going to have to take the blame every time?
This made the mushroom people on Qingzhe's side extremely embarrassed. Speaking of which, the three of them did not lean towards them. On the contrary, they were invited and followed all the way to the manor.
If Gao Yu was implicated by these three guys, then why was he implicated? To put it mildly, it was because he was brought to his doorstep and implicated.
Aman originally wanted to use Gao Yu's incident to give Jiang Yue and the others some moral kidnapping, but Jiang Yue's words stopped him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qing Zhe was worried that the people on his side would not be able to hold back their anger. If the two sides really got into a stalemate, it would be even more difficult to deal with later. He quickly smoothed things over and said: "In the past, the lizard people only had grudges with you, but not anymore. From now on. From the moment Brother Gaoyu was killed, the Lizardmen were also our enemies. Brothers Zuyao, from now on we should share the same hatred and unite to fight those damn Lizardmen."
Jiang Yue looked at the indignant Qing Zhe and said politely: "No need. I believe that the manor will not make it easy for these lizard people who rushed into the medicine garden. As long as we take good care of the medicine garden, everything else will be done. There’s no need for us to worry.”
Not only did Jiang Yue speak sincerely, his voice was also deliberately louder.
This made Qing Zhe a little confused. Such high-profile words feel awkward no matter how you listen to them. Why are you shouting so loudly?
However, just when Qing Zhe was in a daze, a voice came from the night not far behind the wooden house and praised: "Well said, your duty is to take good care of this medicine garden. Master Hu will arrange the other things. You don’t need to worry too much.”
The person who spoke was clearly a heavily armed guard. Judging from his armor, he must be the leader of some status among these guards.
And beside him, there were two followers, also fully armed.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lie Chi. I am a battalion officer under Master Hu. I am in charge of a guard camp of about three hundred people."
"Our guard battalion is responsible for the security of this medicine garden. In addition to this medicine garden, there are several other areas where we are responsible for the security work."
This warrior named Lie Chi is tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, and is two to three meters tall.
His eyes finally stopped on Jiang Yue, with a look of approval: "You have a mushroom mind, and you are a rare understanding person."
It can be seen that Lie Chi is obviously a straight-tempered person. He speaks loudly and in a straight tone. He doesn't care at all whether praising Jiang Yue will offend another group of lizard people.
However, Jiang Yue did not feel complacent, but said calmly: "Knowledge can't be said in general, it's just self-awareness. We mushroom people are not very good at other things, and fighting and killing are not ours. Strengths. Not to mention the few mushroom people we have here, even if there are five times more, how much fighting power can we have. There is no chance of winning in a war with the lizard people. Besides, this is Lord Tiger's manor, if it is our mushroom people's turn to go into battle If there's a war, then what hope does this manor have? I'm afraid no one would dare to take a hand, right?"
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. You mushroom people are really straightforward. You are right. If it is your mushroom people's turn to go into battle, this manor will have no hope. Don't worry, those lizard people dare to offend Mr. Tiger. They won’t be able to leave the manor!”
Xiao Qi, who was behind Qing Zhe, couldn't help but said: "Lord Lie Chi, those lizard people can burrow into the ground, and their underground working ability is very strong. You must beware of them escaping from the ground."
"Don't worry, we have a response." Lie Chi's tone showed strong confidence.
Amang, on the other hand, said unhappily: "Then why can these lizard men invade the medicine garden and attack us? And kill our companions?"
"If we mushroom people are only responsible for taking care of the medicine garden and don't have to worry about safety issues, then what does the death of Brother Gaoyu mean?"
Lie Chi was a little embarrassed, but still did not escape: "This time we were negligent and failed to detect the invasion of these lizard people in advance. However, according to what you said, these lizard people had a grudge against you and chased them all the way. You did not do this in these situations Inform Mr. Hu in advance. If you have informed Mr. Hu in advance, Mr. Hu will definitely make arrangements. This time it can only be said that there is poor communication of information. We have a certain amount of responsibility, and you also have a certain amount of responsibility."
Jiang Yue said hurriedly: "It's mainly my responsibility. I didn't expect that these lizardmen would come here looking for trouble just because they were not allowed to jump in line at the guild window. I underestimated their narrow-mindedness. "
Lie Chi was a little surprised: "These lizard men, are you chasing them all the way here just because you didn't let them jump in line?"
Obviously, this reason confused a straight man like Lie Chi. Are there people with such leisure time? Such a narrow-minded person?
"Yes, Mr. Ga who introduced us here can also vouch for this. If he comes to the manor next time, he can ask Mr. Hu to ask him personally. I am not exaggerating in any way."
Lie Chi widened his eyes and sighed: "We all know that lizard people are domineering and narrow-minded, but we didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. It is completely reasonable for you not to report such a trivial matter. Who would have thought that such a small conflict could still hold a grudge? To this extent..."
Somehow, Lie Chi had a good eye for Jiang Yue. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Yue's words just now that he had such a good first impression.
The first impression between people is particularly important.
Just like Amang, Lie Chi's first impression of him was particularly bad. So much so that Lie Chi, including Qing Zhe, looked a little displeased.
"You guys also remember that you don't have to worry about the lizard people. Your responsibility is to take care of the medicine garden. As for the lizard people killing your companions, we will naturally give you an explanation for this grudge."
This is equivalent to finalizing tonight's lizard man attack.
Even though Qing Zhe was unwilling to do so, as the leader of the team, he was naturally extremely respectful: "Okay, having Lord Tiger and Lord Lie Chi make decisions for us is certainly what I want. I hope none of those lizardmen can escape tonight. .”
Lie Chi waved his hand noncommittally: "Okay, you all go back to your house and don't wander around tonight. If there is any latest news, we will synchronize it at any time."
"Yes, we listen to Lord Liechi."
Qingzhe smiled humbly while waiting for Amang and the mushroom man to leave. Seeing that Boss Qingzhe was like this, Amang and the others didn't dare to show any bloodiness at this time, so they just followed him and left.
It wasn't until Qingzhe and others entered their own house that Lie Chi said to Jiang Yue: "You are very lucky tonight and behaved very calmly. I will tell Master Hu truthfully what I know. Remember, Master Hu is here I like people like you who keep your peace and focus on your work. You were not incited by their group just now and you know what your duties are, which is good."
"By the way, Mr. Tiger doesn't like you working people to get too close. Once you get too close, you will become one, which is not conducive to management."
"Yes, we originally didn't want to get too close to them. You can tell from the house we chose. We originally planned to clean up the snow in front of each other. It is best not to disturb each other and get along as ordinary workers."
"Haha, I feel relieved because you understand so well. You don't have to worry too much here. With this lesson learned, we will strengthen security. We will not let the lizard men have a chance to invade next time."
Lie Chi's words were naturally intended to comfort him, and Jiang Yue naturally wanted to show gratitude.
This night, the area around the medicine garden was destined to be uneasy.
Jiang Yue and the others stayed in the wooden house and kept to themselves, and did not participate in the fighting outside. But their attention never strayed away.
At the edge of the limit that they could reach with their skills, they saw the group of lizardmen being surrounded by the guard team, and three lizardmen were killed on the spot.
The few remaining lizardmen escaped underground, but were ambushed by the underground team that had been ambushing them for a long time, and two more lizardmen were killed on the spot.
The remaining three lizardmen had the strongest combat power, and the three of them had a very good fighting tacit understanding. Their cooperation all the way allowed them to break out of the first encirclement and escape down the mountain.
After fighting all the way, another lizard man finally sacrificed himself to cover the escape of the other two companions, allowing the two companions to completely escape the siege of the guard team.
However, the pursuit was obviously still going on. The guard team pursued them all the way, but they exceeded the limit of the Borrowing Skill.
Jiang Yue did not have first-hand information on whether the two lizard men escaped or not, so he could only wait for the follow-up news.
Of course, even if there is a result later, it is still unknown whether the manor will tell the truth.
Even if the two lizardmen escaped by chance, in order to maintain the face of the manor, I am afraid that the manor will definitely wipe out the group of lizardmen.
Six of the eight lizardmen were killed. Although the leader of the lizardmen escaped temporarily, he might not be able to escape the follow-up pursuit.
It's ridiculous that these lizardmen chased them all the way from the castle guild to this place, and they deserved their own fault for ending up like this.
As for whether the two lizardmen could escape, Jiang Yue didn't really care. He wasn't afraid of eight lizardmen, so how could he be afraid of two homeless dogs?
After dawn, the manor servants who delivered meals still delivered breakfast, but the breakfast delivered had indeed been reduced by one portion.
One of the mushroom men across the street died, so the breakfast would naturally have to be reduced.
This scene also made the mushroom people on the opposite side feel very dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Qingzhe City is very deep and tries its best to suppress other people's negative emotions. This prevented unnecessary fluctuations in the situation.
But Jiang Yue and the others didn't approach them at all, as if what happened last night was just an episode that they had long forgotten.
This attitude seemed a bit insensitive to the group of mushroom people, which undoubtedly made them more angry.
Jiang Yue sneered secretly, thinking that no matter how pretentious this group of people were, no matter how Qing Zhe tried to hide it, sooner or later they would no longer be able to pretend anymore.
While they were eating breakfast, Lie Chi appeared with a group of guards.
He also reported the latest intelligence and brought the corpses of six lizardmen.
"Come on, please identify these lizard men. Are they the ones who attacked you yesterday?"
Xiaoqi naturally recognized these lizardmen. He took those lizardmen with him last night and spent a long time dealing with them.
Qingzhe and others were a little embarrassed.
They did fight against two lizardmen, but the situation was urgent and the environment was relatively dark. The lizardmen were so fast that they couldn't even see their appearance clearly.
Moreover, the faces of the lizard men are very similar. Without carefully identifying them, you really can’t tell which one they are.
Qingzhe felt embarrassed and pointed at Jiang Yue and the others: "Brothers Zuyao, please identify them first. We have only been fighting for a short time, so we can't see very clearly in the lightning and flint."
