089 Nighttime curfew
Damn, even the name was replaced with a fake, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but feel contempt for Kong Rong in his heart, and soon he also figured it out, Kong Rong's move was clearly a way to blame Cheng Yu, it seems that his relationship with Cheng Yu is really not ordinarily bad.
After the servant entered the house to report, Kong Rong was quickly invited in, but none of the people accompanying him went in, and they all stood around Wang Baoyu with expressionless faces.
Wang Baoyu was annoyed again, this was obviously discussed, stay here and monitor yourself!
"Brother, what the hell is going on? Who are these? Fan Jinqiang had already sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"Big brother, don't ask any more questions yet." Wang Baoyu hurriedly stopped him, at such a time, a careless accident could bring extremely strict consequences.
Not long after Kong Rong entered, the lights were brightly lit, and there was the sound of commotion moving around and the low shouts of servants.
In less than half an hour, I saw a carriage driving out of the courtyard, the carriage was covered with a red curtain, and I couldn't see who was sitting inside, and there were some servants running in panic next to the carriage, and Kong Rong walked in front. It is enough to see that Kong Rong's eloquence is amazing, and he can make the other party's family move in such a short time.
"Let's go." After Kong Rong came out, he said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I have one more condition." Wang Baoyu said.
Kong Rong's face turned pale, and he asked with an unkind face: "Baoyu, what else is the matter?" β
Wang Baoyu beckoned to Kong Rong, let him come to him, and whispered: "I heard that Xu Mu is loyal to the martyrs, this time I went to deceive Xu Shu to leave, you must protect the old man." β
"This is wrong, although Cao Gong is suspicious, but Ming Dali, will not embarrass Mother Xu. This time I will definitely serve well, and there will be no half-point difference. Kong Rong waved his hand and said.
"If Mother Xu refuses to give in, jumps into the river or wipes her neck, and then dies headlong, do you guarantee that these things will not happen?" Wang Baoyu asked.
Kong Rong couldn't help shuddering, what Wang Baoyu said was not unreasonable, but very possible, after thinking about it, he said solemnly: "The man is alive, filial piety is the head, even if Kong Rong dies, he will definitely save Xu's mother unscathed." β
"There is no basis for words, but if you disobey today, I will definitely have a way to make you stink for 10,000 years." Wang Baoyu threatened.
Kong Rong was another agitator, he saw a trace of ruthlessness in Wang Baoyu's eyes, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "I will definitely live up to today's outspokenness, if I live up to it, let me leave it for 10,000 years and not enter the ancestral hall." β
In ancient times, the respect for the ancestral hall was not something that modern people could understand, and seeing that Kong Rong made a heavy oath, Wang Baoyu temporarily put his mind at ease, waved his hand, and led everyone to set off towards the gate of Xiangyang City.
The group had just come to the main street, but Wang Baoyu felt that something was wrong, and he didn't see anyone at all, just when he looked suspicious, maybe he heard the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and a team of officials rushed over and blocked the way.
"Take this guy down." The leading cross-knife officer said coldly.
The officials immediately surrounded him, Kong Rong subconsciously took a few steps back, but several of the attendants behind him put their hands on their waists and entered the first-level security state.
Wang Baoyu shouted: "Wait! Why is that? β
"You are not allowed to go out at night, and each person should be beaten with fifty strokes according to the law." The leading official said with a raised face.
What the? Xiangyang City actually implemented a curfew, no wonder the street was so deserted, Wang Baoyu immediately took out the token on his waist, waved at the leader, and said, "Do you want to beat me too?" β
The leading official took it and took a closer look, and immediately changed his face, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "The little one has eyes and no beads, I don't know if it is a person from the young son's mansion." β
"We went out this time on a secret mission, and we must not say anything to others." Wang Baoyu warned with a solemn expression.
"Naturally, I don't dare to say anything." The leading officer kept wiping his sweat and reassuring him, but he still peeked at the carriage.
"Look at what to see, be careful of blind eyeballs!" Wang Baoyu took a sip, so frightened that the official hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.
The officials made way of a road, and Wang Baoyu did not dare to delay a little, and immediately led everyone and went straight to the city gate when he came.
At this time, the gate of Xiangyang City had already been closed, and there were more guards in front of the gate than during the day, all holding long spears and short knives, and their expressions were strict. Wang Baoyu sat in the leisurely car, with a calm and relaxed attitude, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was surrounded by a group of guards.
"Who's out of the city at this time?" One of the leaders shouted.
"On the orders of Liu Cong's son, there is something important to do." Wang Baoyu said, and immediately took out the token again.
The leader glanced at it and immediately knelt down to give a salute, but he still asked unwillingly, "Childe, who is the follower?" β
"Less nonsense, let it go." Wang Baoyu scolded loudly.
"This ......," the leader hesitated, he had already seen some clues from the walking posture of these people dressed in white who resembled merchants, these people had straight waists, steady steps, and cold eyes, and they were obviously people with kung fu.
Therefore, although this group of guards did not stop it, they did not mean to open the door and let them go. Wouldn't it be a pity that the city gate is right in front of you, and it will be hung here?
Wang Baoyu's eyes rolled and he beckoned to the leader, "You come close." β
The leader got the order and came to Wang Baoyu hesitantly, Wang Baoyu patted his face and whispered: "I only sue sΓΉ you, these people are all guards, go out in disguise, do you understand the big matter?" β
"The little one understands!"
"As for what to do, I don't need to report to you, right?" Wang Baoyu snorted coldly.
"The villain was only a qiΔ and it didn't happen." The leader said in horror, Wang Baoyu's explanation made him feel at ease.
The gate of Xiangyang City was opened, and it was not until they crossed the suspension bridge and got on the road that Kong Rong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Wang Baoyu had a token and people were also clever, otherwise, a little negligence would not only give up the previous efforts, but also risk their lives.
However, just in case, the group still did not relax, as if they were marching in a hurry, and did not dare to relax at all.
In addition to the sound of cars grinding, and then the sound of walking and breathing, the sky was already dark, and in the dim moonlight, the gray path was faintly visible.
Wang Baoyu's heart tightened more and more, and he couldn't help but turn around and whisper to Fan Jinqiang: "Big brother, if I say leave in a while, you can run for me quickly, the sooner the better." β
Fan Jinqiang nodded solemnly slightly, remembering it in his heart, the group walked about two miles, and Xiangyang City had been left behind.
Wang Baoyu whispered to Fan Jinqiang to take a few steps faster and keep a distance of more than three meters from the people behind him, and then he hugged his fist at Kong Rong and said, "Old man, we will have a meeting later." β
