When Wu Xing and other people from the Jianghu met with Hong Ying and other officials, it was not as embarrassing as previously imagined, and Shi Zhong surprisingly did not obstruct the matter, which was indeed beyond Ren Xiaoyao's expectation.
However, it can be seen from this that the court should be serious about dealing with the Japanese pirates. Eunuch Shi must have known that the emperor was determined, so he did not dare to obstruct the matter easily. However, the fifth line is still a little worried, fearing that Shi Zhongming is not up to no good, but is secretly playing tricks. Moreover, it is commonplace for Dongchang to do things secretly.
If this matter did not affect Dongchang's interests, perhaps Eunuch Shi would not stand in the way. But if something unexpected happens, there's no telling.
If people do not serve themselves, the heavens and the earth will perish.
People like Eunuch Shi deeply believe in this sentence.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of Shi Zhong made the fifth line think of the snake demon Shi Tai again. Because the man in black who escaped the night before yesterday was actually too similar to Shi in terms of martial arts. Although Sun Xiaowu said that the man was his junior brother Snake Addiction Sanren, Shi Zhong's sudden appearance still made Wu Xing involuntarily think of this snake demon Shi Tai.
Fortunately, the fifth line did not see Shi Tai beside Shi Zhong. If he had seen him, he might have really thought that the person who escaped that night was Shi Tai.
Wu Xing had fought against Shi Zhong, but at that time Wu Xing had his face covered. Although Shi Zhong thought it was him, he was not 100% sure.
When the two met again, they naturally had their own thoughts.
Wu Xing was afraid that Shi Zhong would do something bad, but Shi Zhong didn't like Wu Xing's repeated opposition to Dongchang.
Fortunately, Wu Xing, Ren Xiaoyao and others were relatively satisfied with Chu Wei. His proposal to concentrate the officers and soldiers there coincided with the ideas of Wu Xing and others.
If the officers and soldiers only dispersed the coastal towns for passive defense as before, it would inevitably be defeated by the Japanese pirates one by one, giving the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.
Wang Jinghao, Ren Xiaoyao, Wu Xing and others had a pleasant conversation with Hong Ying and Chu Wei. Their goals seemed to be clear, which was to work together to wipe out all the Japanese pirates this time.
The fifth line is a little worried about this General Chu soldier. I still don’t know how good his martial arts is? After all, many of the Japanese pirates they had to deal with were ninjas and Japanese ronin who were highly skilled in martial arts. If General Chu's martial arts skills are too poor, I'm afraid he will run into a lot of trouble.
Everyone talked for a long time and were all very satisfied. Because it was already late, Ren Xiaoyao and others did not rush back to Xiaoyaomen immediately, but stayed at Lord Hong's house.
Naturally, the fifth line also lived in Hong Mansion. After sending the princess, Hua'er and others back to the room, the fifth line returned to his room alone.
Because it was already getting late, the fifth line just got ready and then planned to go to bed.
At this time, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Who?" Line 5 asked.
The fifth line doesn't know who will come to him at this late hour. Moreover, no one in Hong Mansion knew him except those who came from Xiaoyaomen with them.
Shi Zhong has always been at odds with him, and he is also arrogant. If nothing happens, he will never come to him personally.
"Fifth Young Hero, please open the door." It was a woman's voice. The voice was very clear and she sounded young.
The fifth person couldn't guess who it was, so he opened the door and saw that it was a little maid. The fifth line didn't recognize this maid, so he asked: "Girl, what do you want with me?"
"I have a lady to invite." The maid said.
"Who is your lady?" The fifth line still didn't know who the other party was, so she had to ask again.
"My young lady is the only daughter of the prefect, Miss Hong Yaqiu Hong." The maid answered.
"Miss Hong and I don't seem to know each other!" The fifth line was a bit flattered.
Moreover, when he heard that he was going to meet a strange girl, his old habit suddenly returned and he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body. Even though he was exerting strong control, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know why.
"It's because I don't know him, so Miss Hong wants to get to know the famous Jian Ying Fifth Line." The maid is very good at talking, and after speaking, she turned back to lead the way.
Although the fifth line felt a little uncomfortable, he still felt that it was disrespectful, so he could only follow him.
Not far into the fifth row, I heard the melodious music of the piano, coming from Miss Hong’s yard.
Just listening to the gentle and melodious sound of the piano, which is sometimes high and sometimes low, with ups and downs, makes people feel happy both physically and mentally as soon as they hear it.
"Is this your young lady playing the piano?" the fifth line couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, it's my young lady. My young lady not only plays the piano well, but is also proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting." The girl replied.
Master Hong's house is not small either. The fifth row followed the maid, turning left and right, and finally arrived at Miss Hong's yard.
As soon as the fifth party entered the courtyard, they saw Miss Hong already waiting in the courtyard playing the piano.
There is a small rockery in the yard, and there is a fake waterfall on the rockery. There is a small pavilion in front of the waterfall. The pavilion stands leaning on the water. It is surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, which fills the garden with fragrance.
"What a courtyard!" Although Miss Hong's boudoir is not big, the layout is very exquisite and beautiful.
Miss Hong was sitting in the pavilion playing the piano at this time. There was a small pond under the pavilion, and there were also many fish swimming there.
Beautiful scenery, originally a very good picture.
But the fifth line was really different. When he saw such a scene, the first thing that came to his mind was the Zheng family compound beside the canal. Although this courtyard is certainly not as disgusting as the Zheng Family Courtyard, the fifth line doesn't understand why he associates it with that place.
It stands to reason that after going to Fifth Line once, a ghost place like the Zheng Family Courtyard, you will never think of it again.
People should always miss the good things, so how could anyone think about that disgusting place?
It's like a latrine. Although we use it every day and can't live without it, when we are inconvenient, we still don't think of it.
Because people always miss the good things,
The fifth line was also happy, and he was also amused that this scene flashed out of him at this time.
Beautiful scenery and beautiful music.
It's the time to be intoxicated.
The fifth line is obviously not a boring person. He naturally knows that he cannot interrupt Miss Hong's piano music at this time.
Those who destroy beautiful things are the same as murderers.
In the fifth line, I looked at Miss Hong from a distance and listened to her beautiful and melodious music, and I was really intoxicated by it.
The maid didn't say anything, she just stood back beside Miss Hong.
