Chapter 390: Midnight
Compared with Du Sheng's anger at the moment, Li Hua'er was in a very good mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Calculating the time, since Yuxu had already arrived in Yeqiu City, Du Sheng must have known about the smuggling of weapons and ships.
I don't know what it will make him angry.
Du Sheng will not only definitely come to see her, but also will definitely advance many things.
Supposedly, she should wait for more news before making the next move, but she couldn't risk Shen Heng's life.
As Wu Lingjun said before, taking Young Master Wu with him was to paralyze the enemy.
And Shen Heng was arrested, and the same is true.
Putting weakness in the hands of the enemy can sometimes be more successful.
For example, the matter of ambushes and sneak attacks on weapons and ships.
Li Hua'er thought that she had returned to the Hongsheng Inn, freshened up seriously, began to adjust her crossbow arrows, changed the strings very seriously, tightened the mechanism, and prepared the crossbow arrows.
I only hope that tonight they will not be delayed and will arrive in time as planned.
……
When she got up at dusk, she went back to the window and looked outside.
The Huxin Pavilion has been cleaned up and arranged, and the craftsmen on the shore have also withdrawn.
And the people who watched him on the street have also quietly left.
In the evening, Yeqiu City is still lively and full of people.
Compared with the previous hectic and prosperous, now only prosperity remains.
But no one noticed what kind of danger was hidden under such prosperity.
Li Hua'er sat by the window, continued to be in a daze, and waited until it was nearly ten midnight, when everything was silent, before she got up and walked downstairs again.
Even this very lively inn is now very quiet.
In the hall on the first floor, the shopkeeper was dozing off on the cabinet, and the chairs were all on the table, only the two candles in the room and the two lanterns outside the house were shining, but they added some inexplicable depression.
It's a perfect reflection of tonight's scene.
Although Li Hua'er's action of going downstairs was light, it still woke up the shopkeeper.
As soon as he saw that she had gone downstairs, the shopkeeper immediately sobered up, and hurriedly came over to give a salute and said, "Shopkeeper Li, are you going to eat something?" ”
Li Hua'er smiled and said, "I'm going out." ”
The shopkeeper was startled, waved his hand and said, "It's already time for curfew, where is Shopkeeper Li going?" ”
Li Hua'er said as she walked: "Go to the Huxin Pavilion to have a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Tonight, the officers and soldiers of Yeqiu City are not in charge of trivial matters such as curfews.
"But ......" When the shopkeeper was about to speak again, Li Hua'er had already waved his hand to stop him.
"Little second brother," Li Hua'er stood at the door of the shop and said to him, "After I go out, you should close the door of the shop." ”
The shopkeeper looked at her puzzled.
"Wait a minute, there may be some trouble outside, if it disturbs the rest of the people in this store, it will not be good." Li Hua'er said, and then stepped out of the shop.
The shopkeeper stood at the door of the store, looking at Li Hua'er's lonely back even more blankly, disappearing into the dark twilight.
This shopkeeper Li, why is it so strange?
……
Tonight is foggy, there is no moon in the sky, only a little starlight, reflected on the surface of the lake, lining the night, even darker.
Only on the pavilion in the center of the lake, there is a faint hanging lamp, and the dim light is shrouded, and it seems that the whole pavilion is in a haze.
When Li Hua'er arrived at the lake, the maid was already waiting on the shore, openly holding a dagger in her hand, and behind her was the small painting boat.
Although it was dark all around, the starlight reflected on the surface of the lake was enough for Li Hua'er to see the maid's expression clearly.
It's darker than this night, and I've long since lost the humility I had when we met before, only anger.
Li Hua'er was in a better mood.
"The girl showed it to your master?" She asked.
The handmaiden glared at her viciously, and the hand holding the dagger tightened
Li Hua'er smiled coldly and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, the maidservant immediately said, "Where is Shopkeeper Li going?" ”
Li Hua'er turned her head and looked at her indifferently.
"I'm here to see your master, not to see your face." She said lightly, "If you don't know how to entertain, find someone to come."
The maidservant bit her lip, and finally barely squeezed out a smile, and said:
"Shopkeeper Li, our master is waiting for you."
Li Hua'er smiled with satisfaction.
"It's kind of polite." She spoke, stepping up to the boat leaning against the shore.
The maidservant suppressed her anger and wanted to push Li Hua'er into the water, and she also got on the boat, shook the oars, and sent Li Hua'er to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
……
At this moment, there are two lanterns hanging in the pavilion, and there are already two people there.
One was tied up and collapsed to the ground; The other was sick, slumped in a wicker chair.
Li Hua'er stepped ashore and walked up the steps.
The maidservant also walked ashore quickly and stood behind Du Sheng.
When Du Sheng saw her coming, anger erupted in his eyes.
"What about her? Where is she? He asked in a hoarse voice.
Li Hua'er didn't pay attention to him, but sat down in front of a stone table far away from Du Sheng, shook her head at Shen Heng, who collapsed on the ground, and said:
"Seventh Son, this is also ...... It's a bit embarrassing. ”
She said it with a smile, a rare little girl's cheerful smile.
Shen Heng rolled his eyes at her, stretched his bound legs forward hard, and asked, "Are you so happy?" ”
Li Hua'er nodded seriously and said with a smile: "I'm happy, the last bit of resentment against you in my heart is really gone now." ”
Her words were very sincere, and Shen Heng also heard the meaning of happiness in her tone.
I'm glad he's safe.
Shen Heng was a little moved, but he still took a sip, and said in the direction of Du Sheng, "Don't forget, you are still in his territory." ”
Li Hua'er smiled: "I'm not afraid." ”
As she spoke, she finally moved her gaze to Du Sheng and said with a smile: "He knows, I'm not afraid of him." ”
Du Sheng looked at their relaxed appearance at the moment, and his heart was even more angry, but on his face, he could only ask Li Hua'er more and more coldly: "Where is she?" ”
Under the light of the dim lantern, the mask on Du Sheng's face became even more hideous.
"Who?" Li Hua'er asked knowingly, and then smiled again, "Oh, your sister?" After you soared, I abandoned my family's name and didn't even recognize my relatives. ”
For a moment, Du Sheng felt as if he was about to get up from his chair.
In the end, he just collapsed back in his chair in vain.
Li Hua'er looked at Du Sheng seriously, and her tone finally had more pity: "I was really worried, you wouldn't pay attention to this jade pendant at all, and you ended up harming the seventh prince." But since this is the first question you ask me, I know that you still have some heart. ”
She said, her voice getting colder: "After two years of escape, you have escaped like this, you have escaped into such a career, you can't get her out of exile, you are so dedicated, it's not worth it." (To be continued.) )
