As soon as it got dark, Hang Baiqiu, who couldn't sit still in the room, couldn't help but knock on Chai Yan's door.
Soon the door opened, and Chai Yan appeared in the door with a lazy look, asking: "Is something wrong?"
Hang Baiqiu looked around and whispered: "Let's go, it's already dark!"
"Where are you going?" Chai Yan asked.
Hang Baiqiu glared and said, "Where else can we go? Didn't you say you would go find the man named Hong after dark?"
"Now?" Chai Yan asked, "Isn't it too early to go find him for dinner? We have just finished eating..."
Hang Baiqiu said: "Isn't it because of your size? If you don't go there earlier, aren't you afraid that the man surnamed Hong will disappear?"
"There are guys keeping an eye on it for us, don't worry." Chai Yan said reassuringly.
"Don't worry, I don't!" Hang Baiqiu said seriously.
Seeing that Chai Yan still looked reluctant, Hang Baiqiu had no choice but to pull him out: "Okay, stop dawdling..."
Under Hang Baiqiu's pull, Chai Yan had no choice but to go out with Hang Baiqiu and walk to Hongfu Inn.
As soon as the two of them went out, the door of another room opened, and Guan Maochun quietly stuck his head out and looked out...
After a while, Guan Maochun closed the door and asked Cheng Jiu in the room: "Fourth brother, what do you think Sir and Chief Hang were doing when they went out? It's mysterious..."
Cheng Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't know. Since you didn't ask us to come with you, don't ask more!"
Yu Tie in the room also nodded after hearing Cheng Jiu's words.
Guan Maochun said helplessly as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him: "Okay, I'm the one who's troublesome..."
............
Taking advantage of the darkness, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu quickly arrived outside the Hongfu Inn. At this time, the lights inside the Hongfu Inn were brightly lit and the sound was quite lively.
Hang Baiqiu was about to go to the gate, but was pulled back by Chai Yan.
"What?" Hang Baiqiu asked.
Chai Yan said: "Don't worry, let's see what's going on first..."
With that said, Chai Yan walked towards the window on the side of the inn and carefully looked inside.
Hang Baiqiu followed Chai Yan and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chai Yan looked at it, pointed to a corner inside and said, "Did you see that the man named Hong is eating..."
Hang Baiqiu looked in the direction pointed, and sure enough, Hong Biao was drinking wine alone, and there were three or four dishes on the table.
"He eats his food, and we ask for ours without delay!" Hang Baiqiu said.
Chai Yan shook his head and said, "No, there are many people outside, so it would be more appropriate to ask inside the room."
Then, Chai Yan walked towards the back of Hongfu Inn, and Hang Baiqiu quickly followed.
When he arrived at the back entrance of Hongfu Inn, Chai Yan happened to see the guy who had been keeping tabs on him earlier.
As soon as the waiter saw Chai Yan, he said politely: "Sir, don't worry, the man hasn't left. He is eating in front."
Chai Yan smiled and asked: "Which room does he live in?"
The waiter pointed to the corridor in front and said: "Counting from the east end, it's the second room."
Chai Yan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good! Remember, you have never seen us, understand?"
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the clerk. The clerk agreed very seriously: "I understand, sir!"
After that, the waiter went about his business and turned a blind eye to Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu.
"Let's go to his room and have a look."
Chai Yan waved and took Hang Baiqiu to Hong Biao's room.
With the help of Shangguan Peining, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu quickly entered Hong Biao's room.
There was no light in the room, so visibility was not good in the darkness. The two walked in without thinking, almost knocking over the stools in the room.
Fortunately, Hang Baiqiu reacted quickly enough. He stretched out his right foot and hooked the stool by feel, so no big noise was made.
Soon, their eyes adapted to the darkness, and they were able to roughly master the arrangement of the furnishings in the room.
"Look for his baggage..." Chai Yan whispered.
Hang Baiqiu responded lightly, and then started searching in the room with Chai Yan.
Soon, the two of them found Hong Biao's baggage under the quilt on the bed in the room.
Hang Baiqiu took out the fire seal from his waist, handed it to Chai Yan and said, "Help me take care of it."
Then she couldn't wait to unpack the baggage.
Chai Yan also quickly lit the fire and raised it higher to illuminate Hang Baiqiu.
In addition to a change of clothes, there was a ginseng plant in the baggage, which was exactly the one bought from Shopkeeper Wu of Huichun Hall. The rest was nothing, not even a trace of gold was visible.
Hang Baiqiu tied the baggage again and stuffed it into the quilt.
Hang Baiqiu turned around and was about to speak when there were footsteps outside the room door, and then there was the sound of someone unlocking the door with a key.
Chai Yan quickly blew out the fire seal, and Tonghang Baiqiu moved to both sides of the door, waiting for Hong Biao to open the door and subdue him in one fell swoop!
Soon, the door lock was unlocked with the key, and then the door to the room was pushed open forcefully.
Due to the force of pushing the door, the opened door almost hit their foreheads.
Then, Hong Biao's dissatisfied words came from outside the door: "It's so embarrassing to ask for food, it's so unpalatable!"
Before he finished speaking, Hong Biao stepped into the room.
After Hong Biao entered the room, he did not rush to close the door. Instead, he walked straight to the table in the room, where there were oil lamps and fire sickles. He wanted to use the light outside to light the lamp first, and then turn back and close the door.
.
The moment Hong Biao picked up the fire sickle, he suddenly heard the sound of the door closing behind him, and the light shining into the room quickly weakened.
Hong Biao just felt a little strange. Before he could turn around, something cold was pressed under his chin.
Suddenly, Hong Biao's heart sank, his back felt cold and his body became stiff, and he said in a trembling voice: "Okay... my dear man, please spare my life..."
Hong Biao felt what the cold thing was in an instant. It couldn't be anything else except a knife!
It was Hang Baiqiu who held the dagger against Hong Biao, and it was Chai Yan who closed the door behind him. The two worked together, and the timing was perfect.
"Sit down!" Hang Baiqiu's voice was cold and tough.
When Hong Biao heard that it was a woman, he suddenly had other thoughts in his mind.
"Yes, yes, heroine, spare your life, I'll sit down... I'll sit down right away..." Hong Biao nodded in fear.
Then, Hong Biao secretly adjusted the fire sickle in his hand while slowly sitting down.
What Hong Biao was thinking about now was to use the fire sickle as a weapon and use the sickle-like part of it to counter Hang Baiqiu and reverse the situation.
Then, at the moment when Hong Biao's buttocks were about to touch the bench, he suddenly stepped back, raised his hands and launched a counterattack.
It's a pity that Hong Biao met the former Secretary Hang of Wude Division. In terms of strength, he was destined to fail!
"Spare your life, heroine, spare your life, spare your life..."
Hong Biao's counterattack ended just after it started. Hang Baiqiu not only took away the fire sickle, but also pressed Hong Biao's face on the table, and the sharp tip of the knife was ruthlessly pressed against his temple!
But next, what sounded in the dark room was not a female voice, but Chai Yan's voice.
"I remembered, your name is Hong Biao, right?"
Hong Biao recognized Chai Yan's voice as soon as he heard it, and he was immediately horrified: "Is it you?"
