Chapter 721: Man Under the Roof
When night fell, the painting boats on the Qinhuai River were lit up, and the drunken nightlife kicked off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoGroups of scholars and magnates shuttle through the riverside in soft sedan chairs, each going to their own destination, looking for their own friends, or visiting the "goddess" in their hearts. It's just that tonight is destined for most of them to be disappointed.
The rumbling footsteps broke the charming atmosphere on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and groups of soldiers appeared on the road, trotting forward at a neat pace, pedestrians and sedan chairs on the road hurriedly avoided, and some people fell in the grass on the side of the road in a hurry. The people who fell down got up and were about to make a righteous accusation, but they found that these people were uniformly wearing military uniforms with red background and white edges, and there were badges on their shoulders, which was very different from the military dress of the imperial court. These evil gods are not those scumbags of the imperial court, and if they are annoyed, they will lose their lives.
The soldiers of the Guards Battalion came to the Meilou, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and not even a fly could fly in. Yang Youji came to the gate and explained to Gu Hengbo, who came out: "Except for the people brought by my general, as well as Wei Guogong, no one else is allowed to enter or leave Meilou tonight. How much money is needed, you set a price, and someone will naturally send the silver later. ā
Gu Hengbo said cautiously: "Tonight is me to apologize to Ping Nanbo, how can I collect the money for the drink?" ā
Yang Youji turned his head and did not answer. He is only responsible for conveying, not to grind with this beautiful female boss, it is his duty to ensure the safety of the general.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Gu Hengbo was a little embarrassed, avoided the topic, and asked: "Master Jun, in order to serve Ping Nanbo and his cousin, I invited a few good sisters to help the fun, if these people can't go in, I'm afraid Ping Nanbo will be unhappy, right?" ā
Yang Youji stared at her, and then said: "The general will arrive in a quarter of an hour, and the captain of his personal guard is a woman, and all the girls who enter and leave must be searched by her to confirm that there are no sharp weapons on their bodies before they can enter." ā
Gu Hengbo felt a sense of humiliation welling up in his heart, but he didn't dare to express any displeasure, lowered his head to hide his expression, and promised in a low voice: "Got it." ā
These upcoming sisters are all top figures on the Qinhuai River, both in appearance and talent, she used the name of Wei Guogong to show her face, and only then did she move these people to gather together. If they suffer the humiliation of "body search" because of going to the appointment, perhaps their reputation on the Qinhuai River as the initiator will plummet and become the target of criticism from their peers. But what can I do, my arms are twisted over my thighs? Did they send someone to tell them not to go to the appointment?
Gu Hengbo shook his head secretly, compared with the fate of himself and Meilou, the reputation among the peers is not so important, and survival is the most important thing.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Hongji and Xia Nan arrived almost at the same time.
After the two met and humbled themselves, they entered the Meilou hand in hand.
is different from the last lively scene, this time the Meilou is quiet, there are no pretentious scholars, but there are no girls. Xia Nan looked around, surprised, and said to Xu Hongji: "Wei Guogong, if you say that you are afraid of the well rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake, I don't object to being cautious, but there is not a single girl, is it overkill?" I don't care, just drink and talk to Guogong, my cousin has admired the scenery of the Qinhuai River for a long time, and he can't let him down, right? ā
Xu Hongji smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, brother, my brother has arranged everything, and there will be surprises later." I have been unhappy about what happened last time because of me, and this time I must satisfy you and your cousin. ā
Xia Nan didn't know what surprises there were, so he could only come and go. He said to Lin Weiye: "'Cousin', Wei Guogong has a lot of kindness, and I have to thank others." ā
Lin Weiye was not good at communicating, so he resignedly said to Xu Hongji: "Thank you Wei Guogong." ā
Xu Hongji smiled and patted Lin Weiye's shoulder: "I call me a brother and a brother to Uncle Pingnan, everyone is their own person, don't be polite." He turned his head to Xia Nan and said, "Your cousin is an honest person at first glance, and he is different from you." ā
Xia Nanguan smiled and thought to herself, "cousin" is honest on the outside, but he has a sullen heart.
Outside the door.
It seems that the same time was agreed, and several sedan chairs came from the north and south directions and gathered at the door of the Meilou. Several young women got off the sedan chair one after another, stepped out, only to see that they were either eyebrows and eyes, or temperament, in terms of appearance and figure, they were all top-notch, one of them actually dressed up in men's clothes, and there was a heroic spirit in the beauty. Gu Hengbo cheered up and stepped forward to greet him.
"A few sisters came to Meilou, Peng Sheng was shining, and Hengbo thanked him first."
The woman in men's clothes looked at the soldiers with loaded guns around her, and asked lightly: "Miss Mei is polite, who is the guest of today's banquet, who actually gathered several of us together?" If it was just Wei Guogong, it wouldn't be so aggressive, what about these soldiers? Gu Hengbo's original name was Gu Mei, also known as Gu Mei, and the sisters in the same industry called her Mei girl.
A trace of worry flashed in Gu Hengbo's eyes, and he sighed: "This matter is a long story, Hedongjun, please forgive me, how about going upstairs first?" ā
A few people entered the inner courtyard under the leadership of Gu Hengbo, and were about to go upstairs, but they were blocked by a group of Japanese samurai waiting downstairs, Shimazu Chiyo came out of the crowd, bowed, and said in not too standard Chinese: "I'm sorry, I have to search several people to ensure safety." ā
As Gu Hengbo expected, the faces of several people changed, and the woman in men's clothes known as Hedongjun reprimanded: "How dare you do this? Mei girl, what the hell is going on? ā
Gu Hengbo was helpless, and explained in a low voice: "Hengbo is also involuntarily, the distinguished guest he received this time has met an assassin in Meilou......"
Hedongjun raised his eyebrows: "If you are assassinated or not, what do you have to do with me?" In that case, let me wait to go, so that I will not be humiliated for no reason. Under her leadership, several people turned around and left.
With a "bang", a snow-bright katana was placed on Hedongjun's neck, and the coldness of the blade calmed her down.
Chiyo Shimazu held up his knife and said, "I'm sorry, please don't leave easily, the general will be unhappy." Although the tone was very polite, the meaning of the words was aggressive, and there was no sense of apology.
The other two women were a little surprised, hesitating whether to continue walking, one of them subconsciously took a step, only to hear the sound of "clang" a few times, countless katanas pointed at them, and saw that one more step would be the end of the sword piercing the heart.
