CHAPTER XLIII
Located on the south bank of Taihu Lake, Mingyue Inn is divided into two buildings, east and west, each with a three-story bamboo and wood structure. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoShangguan Hongyang peeked around the inn for a while, and preliminarily determined that what Elder Du had chartered was the bamboo building in the east. Not only was it heavily guarded, but four people were stationed at the entrance of the inn alone, and there were constantly people sticking out their heads from the windows on the second and third floors to peep around, and they simply forbade any idlers to enter. Even the shopkeeper came to deliver tea, but he was scolded back by the people of the Sea Gang. The little boss also warned the shopkeeper in a vicious voice, "I repeat, you don't need tea, and you have already prepared your own food, and if you come here again, you will cut off your dog's head." Frightened, the shopkeeper slipped away with a crawl, and didn't even dare to turn his head.
Shangguan Hongyang thought to himself, even so, I am afraid that I will not be able to fly even a fly in the daytime, so I can only wait until the evening to act. I couldn't help but complain in my heart about this Elder Du, how could he put on such a big posture after joining the Haishan Gang? With such a rumor, how could there be any master of the rivers and lakes? While complaining, he found a low bush to hide. It was stuffy and hot in the bushes, and Shangguan Hongyang's long shirt was soaked with sweat, and then it was wet and dry, and it was dry and wet, and it was miserable to go back and forth like this several times. It wasn't until late at night that he groped his way to the kitchen of the west building of the Mingyue Inn, ate a few leftover steamed buns from the guests, and scooped a scoop of water from the water tank to drink. It wasn't until he was full of food and drink that he flew to the roof of the West Building, observed for a while and found that there was no abnormality, and then jumped lightly and landed on the eaves of the third floor of the East Bamboo Building, leaning down and listening to the movement in the room. At this time, the evening breeze was blowing, and there were bursts of frog chirping. Shangguan Hongyang heard an old voice in the room and said, "Miss Xiang, the old man has no grievances with you, even if he takes the lead in apostasy, after all, he has also been forgiven by you later, and he is not to blame for the past." The old man is very grateful to you, and I believe that you are not a person who does not believe in your word. Why did you come to assassinate the old man today? If you really have any offense, please make it clear. Shangguan Hongyang thought badly, it turned out that Xiang Wan did it alone during the day and was caught by mistake, no wonder Elder Du had to be vigilant and strengthen his precautions. At this time, Shangguan Hongyang heard Xiang Wan snort and said, "You, Elder Du, didn't offend me. But if you try to kill the national hero, General Yu Dayou, you are the public enemy of the common people in the whole world, and everyone will be punished. ”
"Hahahaha, that's what happened. Elder Du laughed and said, "General Yu is extraordinary in martial arts and loyal to the country, and the old man really admires it." But in the rivers and lakes, orders cannot be disobeyed. Please also forgive the eldest lady. Originally, the misunderstanding was resolved, and it was okay to release Miss Ren on this. However, there are rumors on the rivers and lakes that Shangguan Hongyang has a great impression of you, and he has accompanied you all the way recently, which can be described as quite affectionate. The old man thought that you should be wronged first, make a bait, and catch the big fish of Shangguan Hongyang. So I had to ask Miss Ren to stay for a few more days. The old man promised that once Shangguan Hongyang was captured, he would personally come to loosen your ties and make amends. I also hope that Miss Ren can cooperate more. Hahaha. After Elder Du finished speaking, he burst into laughter again, and seemed to be very proud.
"You'd be miscalculated. Xiang Wan said with a smile, "Brother Carry Forward and your protector Koizumi Shenxiu fell in love at first sight, how could they take me seriously? You just locked me up here for a hundred days, and people may not come to the rescue." Isn't this a toss in vain?" Shangguan Hongyang listened, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that he and Koizumi Shenxiu were just fighting, but Xiang Wan had such a big misunderstanding, I really don't know how to get along in the future.
"Is there such a thing?" Elder Du wondered, "In that case, why did the big boss have to go over and over again and order everyone to capture Shangguan Hongyang as a hostage?"
Xiang Wan said, "I don't know about this." Who's going to say it well about feelings?"
Elder Du heard Xiang Wan say so emotionally, and echoed, "That's the same. Then, you might as well recount the situation of the meeting between the two of them first, if this is the case, it will be useless for the old man to detain you here, but to form a group of strong enemies for no reason. It's better to wait for tomorrow's big event, and let you go. ”
