Tang Yu returned to the Tongkou inn along the same road, got into the house through the window, picked up the wooden slats from the ground one by one, and nailed them back to the distance, covering them up.

When he returned to the room, he saw Xiong Yaohua lying alone on the wooden bed, with his head resting on his hands.

Seeing Tang Yu enter the room, he turned over and sat up, and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Miss Dong'er?" ”

Tang Yu nodded and said, "Not only Dong'er, but also Lord Lin Fanghelin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, he also secretly sneaked into Dongting Island......

"Really? That's great. Xiong Yaohua's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Now we have another helper." ”

Tang Yu walked over, sat on the chair next to him, and asked, "I went out just now, those two guys didn't find out, right?"

"No, they were just about to go to the storage room to check, and they didn't deliberately attract me. Then he found a stubble and cleaned them up fiercely. That Liao Er's wrist almost broke for him! Now that he saw my shadow from afar, the two of them quickly ran away--dare to come again?" Xiong Yaohua's eyebrows fluttered, triumphant.

"Lord Xiong is so majestic. ”

Tang Yu praised and said: "I know that with the kung fu of these two dogs and three-legged cats, there will be no bargain under your hands." ”

looked at the door, and then said: "It's just that the message brought by Lord Lin about the latest situation in Dongting Water Village and the government is very different from what we got from that Zhu Er's family......"

Xiong Yaohua was also very curious when he heard this, looked at him eagerly, and asked, "Could it be that Zhu Yichen lied to us?"

"It's not certain yet. Lord Lin just said that they had already met with Lord Zhang, the magistrate of Wu County, and General Liang, and they were discussing the use of soldiers to suppress bandits, and no one mentioned anything about returning to Shun and recruiting An. ”

"That's weird, if there is no such thing at all, then why would Zhu Yichen talk to me? There won't be a conspiracy here, right?" Xiong Yaohua stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked at the rippling blue waters of Taihu Lake outside the window.

The cool breeze blows, bringing into the lake the smell of aquatic plants and a slight fishiness.

Tang Yu pondered for a moment before he said: "Also, according to Lord Lin, the infantry of General Liang and the sailors from Suzhou decided to form an encirclement of Dongting West Mountain tonight and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Xiong Yaohua turned his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "This is very good, although this group of water bandits is cunning and familiar with geography, they are vulnerable compared to well-trained official sailors." Eradicating this group of water bandits rampant in Taihu Lake, the demonic atmosphere is cleared, and it is not a good thing for the people on this side. ”

Tang Yu's expression was depressed, and he muttered, "But so far, we haven't gotten any news from Mr. Xiong Dajing?"

Xiong Yaohua thought for a moment and said, "Didn't that Zhu Er master say that his old man had been taken away by Luo Bufan?"

Lord Lin doubted the authenticity of this matter. Tang Yu raised his head, his brows furrowed.

Xiong Yaohua was stunned for a moment, thought about the meaning of his words, nodded without hesitation, and said: "This is possible, almost all the information we get now comes from the mouth of this second master." If you say it in vain and listen to it, its authenticity is naturally unverifiable. ”

Tang Yu's eyes showed a confused light, and he said, "If Mr. Xiong Dajing is still on the island at the moment, where will the water thieves hide him?"

Xiong Yaohua clapped his fist and said categorically: "In my opinion, Zhu Yichen or the woman named Yuping must know that looking at their appearance, they should not be good at fighting skills." Otherwise, let's secretly take one and torture it strictly, I'm afraid that he won't confess......"

Tang Yu thought for a while and refused: "I'm afraid this is not good, the current situation will affect the whole body." If we act rashly and blindly, we will not only be useless in our eyes, but will also invite disaster -- after all, it will be difficult for the two of us to reach the hundreds of people on the island! We may also sabotage the upcoming battle to seize the island. ”

Xiong Yaohua sighed, couldn't bear it, and said angrily: "Alas, I have lived in that small village in the depths of Zhangshan for fifteen years, and I thought that I had exhausted my anger and kept my eyes on it.

"It's not your fault, who is replaced, when you encounter this situation, you will inevitably get angry in your heart. Tang Yu smiled faintly and said calmly, "From the humble point of view, it is better to be quiet at the moment, after all, there is Lord Lin outside to take care of them." Let's wait until it gets dark, and if there is no change, the two of us will sneak out of the window of the storage room quietly and respond to the officers and soldiers......"

Xiong Yaohua thought about it, and there seemed to be no better way than that. I had to reluctantly agree. The two of them went out to eat, and they had nothing else to do, and they each went back to bed, with a thousand thoughts and feelings, but they didn't know where to start?

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

Tang Yu was the first to get up and sat on the bed, only to feel dizzy and bitter in his mouth.

Xiong Yaohua also turned over, opened his eyes, and showed a helpless look on his face, and said, "If you can't live like this for a month, you will definitely be able to make a good person a madman?"

Tang Yu was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps in his ears, from far to near. He gave Xiong Yaohua a look, and the two of them sat upright and silenced.

Sure enough, after a while, a person outside pushed the door and came in, dressed as a dry and thin man. Pulling a sharp male duck throat, he said: "Two masters, Zhu Er is invited to be in charge of the house." ”

Xiong Yaohua looked at this guy, leaned forward, and pressed one palm on the table. With a little effort, the table creaked: "He has detained us for so long, and he has not said a word, and he has not come to visit. At this moment, Tian Ran came to the door, and the night owl entered the house, and he must be uneasy and kind!"

The thin guy was one of the two people who ate Xiong Yaohua's loss in the corridor in the morning, and when he saw him angry at this moment, he had palpitations, and his speech was stumbling: "This, I don't know if I am below." The second master asked me to pass the word, and I came. As for whether you go or not, that's your business...... I can't take care of it. As he spoke, he exited the house and closed the door.

Xiong Yaohua took a breath of dantian qi, his chest rose and fell, his eyes shot an excited look, and he said angrily: "I really want to rush out, capture that surnamed Zhu, and ask him what kind of heart he is and what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

"My lord, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not?" Tang Yu's face changed.

Xiong Yaohua paused and sat up straight: "You say." ”

Tang Yu heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, lowered his voice, and said gently: "Since we have this opportunity, why don't we take the opportunity to go and meet him? The words came out of his mouth and into my ears, and we can't help but believe it or not. I always feel that this Zhu Er is not a simple person, he seems to be elegant and open-minded, God knows what mysteries are hidden behind him?"

Xiong Yaohua turned his anger into laughter when he heard this, exhaled, and said, "I can't see that your kid is not very old, but he is calm and thoughtful. Okay, I'll listen to you this time—" (To be continued.) )
