Chapter 4 Lianjiang City Breaks
Li Yu on the side didn't seem to care, and still smiled and said to Ying'er, who was angry, "Okay!" Let's go find an inn to stay in first. I've got some business to do in a while! ”
Ying'er let Jiang Feng go.
The three of them found a small inn and cast it. There are very few guests at the inn, and the rooms for three people are adjacent. The shopkeeper arranged everything for the three of them, and specially told them, "It's better to sleep peacefully at night, no matter what happens outside, don't care, as long as you stay in the room honestly, you will be fine." ”
If he hadn't seen the notice posted by the pirates at the city gate, Jiang Feng must not have understood the intention of the shopkeeper to tell him like this. But now, he knows it all too well. The shopkeeper had apparently known that there was a pirate attack on the city tonight, so he had told them so.
But when a pirate enters the city, is it true that as long as he hides in his room, he will be fine? Jiang Feng was a little unconvinced, these pirates had easily attacked the city, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to rob. If he hadn't wanted to pretend to be calm in front of Li Yu's master and servant, Jiang Feng would have fled a long time ago. However, at the moment of beauty, Jiang Feng can't ignore his manly image. Even the first class of women didn't say that they wanted to leave, he was a dignified man, so he naturally had no shame to say the word "escape". Therefore, although Jiang Feng was terrified, he still chose to stay at the inn with Li Yu and the others.
But in the past, the images of pirates with turbans and steel knives, who were often seen on TV, with fierce faces, robbed things when they saw them, and killed people when they saw them, always lingered in his mind.
After eating, Jiang Feng pulled Li Yu and asked her to accompany him to Lianjiang City for a walk. Li Yu's personal treatment of the girl Ying'er naturally became the escort of the two. In fact, Jiang Feng's real purpose was to inquire about the situation in the city. If you see that the situation is not good, return to the inn, although you can't do anything to escape, but you can do the hidden work in depth.
Jiang Feng had such a plan, in his mind, since such a big event was going to happen in the city, and the people in the whole city had already received the news. All the shops on the street must be closed! However, after Jiang Feng took a rough turn outside, he found that even in Jiangcheng, the people didn't seem to have such a thing at all, and they still did what they should do, not only did the shops on the street not close, but even the small depreciation of roadside stalls was not seen.
This time, Jiang Feng couldn't figure it out even more. To say that the posting of notices at the gate of the city shows the conceit and arrogance of this group of pirates, and they did not take the officers and soldiers into account at all; So, what is the reason for the calm behavior of these city people? Are they all related to these pirates? This is obviously impossible.
Seeing that Jiang Feng was silent along the way, Li Yu had already seen through Jiang Feng's thoughts.
"Brother Yu must have thought it was strange, why didn't these people in the city panic at all in the face of the impending catastrophe of the pirate attack, right?"
Jiang Feng nodded again and again, and he began to admire Li Yu in front of him more and more. It seemed that everything was under her control, and even what she was thinking in her heart, she could guess clearly.
"It's actually quite simple. Because the group of pirates who are going to attack the city today are not ordinary pirates, they are part of the Li family in Zhangzhou. And the Li family in Zhangzhou has always had a good reputation in the southeast coastal area. They never do anything to bully the weak, and when they meet the poor, they are never embarrassed, and sometimes they have to give some help.
For scholars, the Li family is even more respectful. If there are scholars who are favored by them and are willing to serve in their Li family, they will first give fifty taels of settling-in expenses. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yu also deliberately made a joke with Jiang Feng. "I think Brother Yu is very much in line with their standards, maybe someone will come to invite Brother Yu tomorrow!"
Jiang Feng hurriedly shook his head like a rattle. "That's not going to work! That's not going to work! In his heart, this time he escaped death and crossed over to this strange place; Although he still hasn't figured out his origins and doesn't have any earth-shattering plans, he still can't accept that he should become a pirate.
Li Yu observed his words and looks, and had already seen Jiang Feng's disdain for these pirates, so he stopped talking and didn't say anything more.
When they arrived at the inn, the three of them went back to their rooms. This night was particularly difficult for Jiang Feng. On the contrary, he was not as comfortable and at ease as when he first came to this world, sleeping in the haystack of that family. Jiang Feng was always worried that these pirates didn't know if they would attack the city as promised tonight. If they invade the city, will they not disturb the people as promised? Or will it burn and loot?
Jiang Feng carefully observed this guest room, and the only place where he could hide was under the bed. But hidden under the bed, as long as someone looks down, there is nothing to hide. After thinking for a long time, Jiang Feng dragged the two bamboo baskets outside under the bed. Hiding behind a bamboo basket is not so easy to be discovered. Unless you open the bed slats, or climb in.
No way, who let this place not have a secret passage, a secret grid and something like that to hide! That's all it takes. After all this was done, Jiang Feng curled up behind the bamboo basket, and then he was relieved. Gradually, I began to feel a little sleepy.
Just when he was drowsy, he suddenly heard a cannon sound in the distance. Three more cannon shots followed.
Then I faintly heard someone shouting loudly: "Brothers who defend the city, listen." We belong to the Li family in Zhangzhou. Tonight, we will enter the city, only to find trouble with Chen Yuanliang, and never harm the innocent. If you want to defend the city, then we will have to attack it with artillery.
Now, give you half an hour to decide. Within half an hour, one of you took the initiative to open the city gate, and that's it. We will continue to keep our promise and never embarrass anyone outside the Chen family. If, after half an hour, no one has opened the gates, then we will not be welcome. When the time comes, they will attack the city, and all those who defend it will be killed. ”
This letter of persuasion was read three times in a row, and Jiang Feng counted it clearly. Then he never read it again. Jiang Feng didn't know what had changed outside, but he didn't dare to go out to see it. This isn't a joke, if you don't do it, it's going to lose your head. He didn't want to just travel to this new world, and he hadn't even figured out who his parents were, so he was ruined by fate again.
After a long while, Jiang Feng heard the sound of people running on the street, and the sound of people talking. Jiang Feng judged that it should be those pirates who had already entered the city, and he didn't dare to move after hiding in the bamboo basket under the bed. He knew that this was not the time to be heroic, Han Xin could endure the humiliation under his crotch, and what was his humiliation under the bed!
Just then, there was a slight knock on the door. Jiang Feng's heart was suddenly tense to the extreme.
Then there was another sound. This time it's a little heavier than the last one.
Probably hearing no reflection from inside the room, a woman's voice came from outside the door. "Did Yu Xianggong sleep?"
Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. …… It's the little maid Ying'er.
Jiang Feng hurriedly climbed out from under the bed and opened the door lightly, as if he was afraid that his actions would alarm the pirates outside and lure them in.
Ying'er suddenly saw Jiang Feng who opened the door, and took a step back in fright, and then couldn't help covering her mouth, and she couldn't straighten her waist with a smile!
"Yu, Yu Xianggong. What are you doing here? How did you get your face like touching the ashes of a pot! ”
Jiang Feng then remembered that he had come out from under the bed, and he must have had a lot of ash on his face before this little girl smiled like this. I couldn't help but blush slightly, and I quickly reached out to wipe it with my sleeve.
"Use this!" Li Yu on the side gently grabbed his sleeve and handed him a handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers.
Jiang Feng glanced at Li Yu gratefully, and hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped his face.
"Brother Yu, do you want to go out with us to have a look?" Seeing that Jiang Feng wiped his face, Li Yu asked softly.
"You're going out! It's more late in the middle of the night. Besides, I don't know if those pirates are gone......! Jiang Feng didn't say anything like it was dangerous outside, because he wanted to maintain his image as a big husband. He believed that if he was so gentle, this clever Miss Li would definitely think of it.
"The people of the Li family have already come in, but it doesn't matter, there will be no danger. If they don't keep their word, I'm afraid that someone has already rushed into the inn and looted it.
I want to see what they do with the Chen family. Li Yu said.
Jiang Feng listened to what Li Yu said reasonably, and his heart also let go of it a lot. But when she heard that she was going to see the pirates to deal with the Chen family, Jiang Feng's curiosity about the unknown was also aroused. People are like this, once they know that there is no danger, they naturally have curiosity.
Otherwise, curiosity kills cats!
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Li Yu glanced at Jiang Feng approvingly. At this glance, Jiang Feng's heart suddenly warmed up. It seems that the praise of the beauties has the same lethality whether it is in modern times or in ancient times. It was just this glance of approval, and now even if Jiang Feng was asked to fight these pirates outside with a knife, he would not hesitate if he was afraid. This is Jiang Feng, who has been a human being in two lives, and still can't escape the little tricks of those smart beauties.
Jiang Feng brought his sword. Although this sword is in his hand, it can probably only be used to chop vegetables, but with the feeling of a sword in his hand, it is still much safer.
The three of them left the inn, and there was no one on the street. The pirates are clearly gone, and the officers and soldiers are hiding, and the people will not come out to join in the fun at this time. On the street, there were only the three of them who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Ying'er led the way in front with a lantern. After walking more than three miles out of the inn, I gradually heard some noisy sounds, including cries and shouts.
