Wang Huan and the three cats were in the shadow of the wall, and they didn't dare to come out, and when they heard the noise outside the wall gradually disappearing, and after returning to tranquility, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, and the murderous disaster was finally avoided.

In the wall, against the wall is a green grassland, planted with countless flowers, among the green trees, there is a big lotus pond in front, there is a water lily rockery in the pool, the red koi swim freely, there are corridors at both ends of the lotus pond surrounding, a small bridge made of jade is on the lake, there is a delicate pavilion standing in the center of the lake at the end of the bridge, the pavilion body flies the eaves to paint the building, the tent in the pavilion dances lightly, in the hot early summer, it is a good place to enjoy the cool summer, drink and compose poetry, and in the distance, the pavilion and pavilion are faintly exposed under the shade of the trees, It shows that this place is a mansion with a high gate and a huge room.

The three of them glanced at it hastily, and they had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

Chen Ergou sat on the ground with his buttocks, leaned against the wall and said hatefully: "That group of beggars is really hateful, there are such ruthless people, those teenagers were cut off by their hands and feet and their eyes were gouged out, and they were left with a lifetime of disabilities, how will they live in the future?" ”

Xu Goudan said: "Before you entered the temple, didn't you also fight in the YZ market, isn't the beggar gang there the same?" ”

Chen Ergou grinned and replied disdainfully: "At the beginning, I followed the Buddha, all of them used the means of twisting the seeds, relying on their empty skills, borrowing a little rich people's money, never hurting the heavens and reason, where is like that group of extremely cruel bandits, the seniors in the industry said that they have no skills, just play ruthlessly, we never deal with them." ”

Xu Goudan pouted: "That's beautiful, that's not a thief." ”

Chen Ergou's face turned red, and he argued: "The world is hard, if I don't follow them, I will be hungry, and besides, I haven't been mixed for long, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Huan glanced at Chen Ergou, it turned out that this young man still had this past, but he hadn't heard him talk about it.

Chen Ergou saw Wang Huan looking at him, his blushing became more and more blushing, and he was about to defend a few more words, but he heard a sound of footsteps in the corridor, hurriedly closed his mouth, and the three of them hid together, hid in the dense depths of the trees, and then looked out through the gaps in the leaves.

On the corridor by the lake, with the sound of footsteps, a few servants dressed in decent cloth clothes walked quickly, and the leader was a middle-aged man in fine clothes, this person had a white face and beard, medium stature, and a high nose bridge, a rich and noble style that had been pampered for many years, compared with several servants who followed him, the bearing was very different, but several people had one thing in common, that is, the forehead on the top of the head was shaved and shiny, and a thin braid was dragged behind the head, because the feet were in a hurry, the braid was flicked and flicked, and it looked very funny.

Xu Goudan saw it clearly, and said softly in surprise: "Those who come are all flag people!" ”

Wang Huan nodded, silent, but shocked and suspicious in his heart, he originally thought that inside this wall, it was just a rich merchant or eunuch's house, but now it seems to be different, there are banner people as slaves, who lives in the master's house here?

Those few people ran to the door, opened the door and looked out for a while, the people of the Luobasket Gang had gone away, where was there still someone, a few people looked at it, and closed the door with a blanket of doubt.

The middle-aged man in a Chinese costume asked a servant with a calm face, "Did you really hear clearly, someone outside just now banged on the door and yelled?" ”

The servant hurriedly said: "I really heard it clearly, the sound of the knocking on the door was very loud, and there were people shouting, I listened carefully, it was not the voice of the people in our house, I was worried that it was a strong man who was making trouble, so I hurried to report to the master." But for some reason, there is no one outside now. ”

The middle-aged man walked around the door, looked at the high wall, felt that there was nothing suspicious, and said to the servant: "You are very good, in such a situation, you know that you can't open the door rashly, it's not bad." ”

The servant was praised, his face was triumphant, and he hurriedly said, "The master has praised him, and the slave has only done his part." ”

The middle-aged man praised him a few more words, turned his head to the other servants and said: "At this moment, there are some sinister people in the city who are causing trouble, you must cheer up, you must protect the safety of the house, and do not let some small people disturb the nobles, otherwise, the eldest master will definitely not spare you and others." ”

The servants fell to the ground together and said in unison: "The minions must be attentive!" ”

The middle-aged man touched the beard on his chin, nodded with satisfaction, and once again confirmed that the barricade on the door was erected, and led a group of servants away.

When they were far away, Xu Goudan stuck out his tongue and said, "Did you hear that?" That middle-aged Manchurian is not the owner of this mansion yet! ”

Chen Ergou was also surprised: "I see that middle-aged man is extraordinary, and I thought he was the head of the household here, but he was just a housekeeper or something, who is the master of this courtyard?" ”

Wang Huan thought for a moment and said slowly: "The people who can use the banner people as slaves at home must be Manchurian nobles, how many Manchurian nobles are there in this Xiangyang City at this moment?" How many people are qualified to live in such a luxurious mansion in the city? When you think about it, the answer is obvious. ”

Chen Ergou said eagerly: "Who is it?" Don't play dumb riddles, talk about it. ”

Wang Huan said: "I look at the scale of this mansion, I'm afraid it is the only place in the city, it should be the mansion of Bai Wang, the general of Xiangyang, who was guarded by the Dashun Army. ”

Xu Goudan and Chen Ergou gasped and said in unison, "Could it be Prince Ying Azig?" ”

Wang Huan nodded, and looked around: "It must be him, in our panic, we actually broke into the Tartar's nest, we have to get out quickly, otherwise there will be no place to bury!" ”

Chen Ergou hurriedly said: "Then let's go over the wall." ”

Just as he was about to get up, he saw two more men dressed as servants on the cloister, who came back slowly, stood by the side door, stood still, and chatted and bragged there.

This time it's troublesome, Wang Huan's scalp exploded, the two of them stood still, and had no intention of leaving, it was clear that the housekeeper just now felt that this side door was not safe, and arranged for people to watch here, the big wall was high, and if you want to go out, you will definitely be seen by those two people, how can this be good?

Fortunately, the woods where the three of them were hiding just now were far away from the door, and the two Tartar servants couldn't see them at all, so they were safe for the time being.

Wang Huan had no choice but to squat in the forest honestly, hoping that the two would stand for a long time and leave naturally without anything, but after waiting for more than an hour, the two changed positions, found a rockery in the distance, and sat down!

This time Wang Huan is not calm, it looks like these two are spent here, and when the time for dinner comes, maybe the middle-aged housekeeper will arrange two shifts to take over, squatting stupidly in this forest, and there will be no chance to go out over the wall.

Wang Huan thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not a solution, so he whispered to Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan: "We can't wait any longer, those two Tartars won't go, let's walk forward along the edge of this wall, and when we get out of their sight, we will find a hole and turn out." ”

Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan's legs were already sore, and when they heard Wang Huan say, they nodded in agreement, Chen Ergou took the lead in bending over and going out to take a look, and retracted back to the two: "Go this way, I see that there are houses against the wall here, and there can be a cover in the past." ”

Wang Huan thought so, and Xu Goudan followed Chen Ergou, hunched over and lowered his head, trying his best to shrink his body in the shadow of the tree, while paying attention to the two Tartars sitting on the stone, while touching the direction chosen by Chen Ergou along the wall.

This yard looks very big, walk bigger, but it is flat again, two Tartars sit on the rockery stone, you don't need to look up to see the scope of the entire lotus pond clearly, the three sweaty cat waist out of dozens of feet, look back, you can still see the two Tartars clearly.

If they can see them, they must also be able to see themselves, as long as they expose their bodies, they will be found immediately, and the three of them have no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to walk until they come to the edge of the house that Chen Ergou said.

Wang Huan looked up, almost no mouthful of blood spurted out, only to see a three-story small building standing by the lake in front, the small building is exquisite, small and exquisite, the eaves are hung high, the screen window is gently wrapped, surrounded by wooden railings, elegant and pretty, the door on the first floor is open, there are a few maids in the interior to sweep, the indoor table and chair screens for guests, you can see from the door, there is a carved railing staircase leading to the second floor. Around the building, there were a few sturdy women with baskets of scissors, pruning the branches and leaves among the flowers.

Chen Ergou also found that something was wrong, turned his head to Wang Huan and said, "This seems to be a show building?" ”

Wang Huan wanted to slap him on the head, but because there were many female gardeners nearby, he had to lower his voice and said, "Didn't you see it when you led the way just now?" ”

Xu Goudan was full of interest, and said in a gossipy tone: "I don't know what that Miss Tartar looks like?" Is it as rude and ugly as a Tartar man? ”
