New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

In some dilapidated temples near the capital, there is a faded statue of a god or Buddha. The straw under the statue has been wet by the rain, but now it has been piled together for a man to sit on.

It was raining heavily outside the dilapidated temple and drizzling inside. Twenty men were sitting inside. They were all soaked, and it was obvious that they had just run here to hide from the rain.

The man sitting under the deity was of sturdy build. He was wearing clothes made of animal fur. He looked like a nearby villager, with a simple smile on his face, but his eyes were full of brilliance.

Except for the occasional flash of lightning that illuminates the area below, the ruined temple is pitch black, making it almost impossible to see what is going on inside.

"Jiligululujilihuala."

A man came up to the man who was sitting on the straw with his eyes closed and started talking incoherently.

The leading man closed his eyes and slapped him accurately with his backhand, "We are in the Qing Dynasty now, so we have to speak the language of the Qing Dynasty. If you can't remember it next time, don't blame me for being merciless."

The sound of "pa" was not so clear in the storm, but the cold voice made the man tremble slightly. He nodded and said in a flattering manner, "Yes, master, the straw in the house is wet, we can't light a fire to keep warm, and we have lost our fire starters. What should we do?"

Krillin Gucun opened his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his honest face. He glanced at his subordinate who was beaten and trembling in fear in the dim light, "It doesn't matter, it's better to keep it dim like this. If someone comes, we can rob them better in the dark."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate looked at his master with admiration, nodded in agreement, and then left.

Krillin Gucun took a deep breath, feeling aggrieved in his heart. His father was the leader of the Japanese pirates, in charge of tens of thousands of people. However, because his father was too lustful, he would have women give birth to children wherever he had sex with them. The children would be named after the place where they were born.

Because his mother was a woman abducted by his father from the Qing Dynasty and gave birth to him in an ancient village, he was casually named Gucun Klin. He had many brothers and sisters, but his father's favorite was the son born to his father and a Japanese pirate's daughter.

However, his brother's whereabouts were unknown after he came to the Qing Dynasty, so he was sent to the Qing Dynasty by his father. His main purpose was to find his brother. If his brother was dead, he would find ways to disrupt the royal family and distract the emperor. After that, the Japanese pirates would attack the Qing Dynasty again and seize this vast land and resources.

But, how could it be so easy to disturb the royal family?

They tried every possible means at the beginning, but could only seriously injure the general who guarded the border waters. They smuggled into the Qing Dynasty. In the past two years, although they had people all over the country, they tried every means to disguise themselves in order to settle down in the Qing Dynasty and then secretly harm the people of the Qing Dynasty.

Now they had finally arrived in the capital, only an hour's journey away from the imperial city, but their way was blocked by heavy rain.

Gucun Klin was very angry. They went up the mountains and into the sea, taking the official road all the way, and killed many villagers in the process. In exchange, they got these disguises. If this rainstorm caused their efforts to fail, he would be really sick to death.

Thinking of this, he stroked his hair. He disguised himself as a villager as much as possible, even shaved his hair into a hairstyle similar to that of ordinary people, and even put a mask made of the skin of ordinary people on his face.

After all, he didn't know how to make a human skin mask, so he simply used some glue and pasted a piece of real human skin. He thought it should be easier to conceal his identity. However, he didn't expect that the sudden rainstorm almost exposed his disguise.

He used the lightning to look at the other people. Fortunately, the human skin masks on their faces were not exposed.

Gucun Klin leaned against the statue in a relaxed manner, waiting for the rainstorm to stop, and then rushed to the capital, trying every means to sneak into the capital. If he could assassinate some princess or prince, the emperor would probably be very angry.

But they don’t know who did it, hahaha, just thinking about it makes me happy.

Klin Gucun closed his eyes with a delighted smile on his lips, as if he had seen himself assassinating the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, becoming the leader of the Japanese pirates after returning, and then attacking the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop and becoming the emperor himself, high and mighty.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the ruined temple. Gucun Klin opened his eyes suddenly. Other Japanese pirates also began to move unusually, and they whispered to each other nervously.

Gucun Klin didn't know whether the man coming over on horseback at this time was a soldier, a bandit, or a chivalrous hero. He thought that since it was very dark in the dilapidated temple, they could just hide there.

So he stood up and, in the dim light, gave an order to his subordinates, "Hide."

Then, everyone looked for places to hide, like playing hide-and-seek, trying every way to find cover.

After a moment, the entire dilapidated temple seemed empty, "no one was there."

"We have finally arrived at this ruined temple. Let's go in and take a rest. The carriage and horses are parked at the door. You, you, and you, the three of you, guard the carriage and horses. Don't let them get stolen. The others go in and take a rest first. Someone will be sent to replace you later."

"Yes!"
