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 imperial 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 easily obstruct the matter. However, the fifth line was still a little worried, fearing that Shi Zhongming was not doing something right.

What kind of tricks are they playing in secret? Moreover, playing tricks in secret is already commonplace for Dongchang.

If this matter does not affect the interests of Dongchang, perhaps Eunuch Shi will not stand in the way. But if something unexpected happens, then there is 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 Tai in terms of martial arts. Although Sun Xiaowu said that

He was his junior brother Snake Addiction Sanren, but 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 towns along the coast 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 lively conversation with Hong Ying and Chu Wei. Their goals seemed to be very clear, which was to work together to wipe out all the Japanese pirates this time.

The fifth line is a little worried about the fact that General Chu's martial arts are not known yet. After all, they have to deal with these Japanese pirates, many of whom are ninjas and Japanese ronin with strong martial arts skills. If General Chu's martial arts is too poor, he may encounter

Got into a lot of trouble.

Everyone talked for a long time and were all very satisfied. Because it was late, Ren Xiaoyao and others did not rush back to Xiaoyaomen immediately, but stayed at Mr. Hong's house.

Naturally, the fifth line also lived in Hong Mansion. After sending the princess, Hua'er and others back to their room, the fifth line returned to his room alone.

Because it was already getting late, the fifth row just made preparations and then planned to go to bed.

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Who?" asked the fifth line.

The fifth line doesn't know who will come to see him at such a late hour. Moreover, no one in Hong Mansion knows him except those who came from Xiaoyaomen with them.

Shi Zhong has always been at odds with him, and he is also arrogant. No matter what, 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 line 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 the maid, so he asked: "Girl, what do you want here?"

"I have a lady to invite." The maid said.

"Who is your lady?" In the fifth line, I still didn't know who the other party was, so I had to ask again.

"My young lady is the only daughter of the prefect, Miss Hong Ya Qiu Hong." The maid replied.

"Ms. Hong and I don't seem to know each other!" The fifth line was a little 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. Although he was already exerting control, he felt uncomfortable in his heart unconsciously, and he didn't know why.

.

"It's because I don't know him, so Miss Hong wants to get to know the famous Jianying Fifth Line." The maid is very good at talking, and after saying that, she turned back to lead the way.

Although the fifth line felt a little uncomfortable, he still felt it was disrespectful, so he had no choice but to follow.

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.

Mr. Hong's house is not small. On the fifth row, we followed the maid, turning left and right, and finally arrived at Miss Hong's yard.

When the fifth row 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, making the garden full of 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 mind was the Zheng Family Courtyard by the canal. Although this courtyard would definitely not be as disgusting as the Zheng Family Courtyard.

, but in the fifth line, I don’t understand why I think of that place.

It stands to reason that after visiting a ghost place like the Zheng Family Courtyard once, you will never think of it again.

People should always miss the good things, so how can anyone think about those disgusting places?

It's like a hut, although we use it every day and can't live without it, we still don't think of it when we are inconvenient.

Because people always miss the good things,

In the fifth line, he was also happy. He also felt funny that this scene appeared at this time.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful music.

It's the time when you should 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 equivalent to murderers.

In the fifth line, I looked at Miss Hong from a distance and listened to her beautiful piano music, and I was really intoxicated by it.
