Xiang Ying said, ”As the saying goes, a moment of joy. Don't bolt the door. Hurry up and be husband and wife. He's asleep. ”
Lee Yanyi took her hand and said, ”Beauty, quickly let go. I'll go bolt the door. To be a husband and wife, one must be safe. ” Xiang Ying released her hand.
Lee Yanyi walked out of the house quickly and went to the door of the Zhu Family Pirates' house to listen inside. The pirates were snoring soundly in the room. Lee Yanyi opened the door and entered the room before closing the door behind him.
He saw that the furnishings in the room were the same as the previous one. The tent was high up, and the pirates were lying naked on the bed, sleeping on their backs. He stretched out his limbs and slept soundly and peacefully. His uniform was on a hanger and his hat was in the middle of the table. There was still half a cup of tea on the table, and the cigarette, candy, and melon seeds on the tray seemed untouched. Next to his pillow lay the holster, the strap of the holster hanging over the side of the bed. The pistol was pressed under the pillow and the barrel was exposed for a short time.
After sizing him up, Lee Yanyi felt a little flustered as he thought, ”How do I execute him?” This guy is fat and has a body full of martial arts. If I fail, it will be hard to deal with him. ” He touched his body. He had arrived in a hurry and didn't bring any weapons with him.
In his anxiety, Lee Yanyi suddenly noticed that the belt on the holster was of the highest quality. He immediately had an idea and thought, ”Maybe it's durable. Let's take it down and take a look.” He gently approached to untie the tape. As soon as he faced the Zhu pirates, he felt a deafening snoring and a foul stench.
With a twisted face, Lee Yanyi squatted down. He gently opened the hook ring and unbuckled the leather belt on the holster. Then he forcefully stretched the leather belt a few times and felt that it was sturdy and durable. Delighted, Lee Yanyi thought to himself, ”This thing is narrow and soft, I'll use it to send this bad guy to heaven!”
Lee Yanyi gently handed over one end of the belt from under the neck of the Zhu Family's pirate. Then he wrapped the other two ends in his hands. He immediately retracted the belt and ruthlessly reined them in.
The Zhuang Pirates were strangled, their breathing tightened, their snores cut off, their eyes opened in panic. The belt was taut, but Lee Yanyi was still exerting his strength. The Zhu pirates were out of breath. They stared at Lee Yanyi without making a sound. They stuck out their tongues, stretched their limbs and breathed their last.
Seeing that he was doomed, Li Yan let him go, put away the tape, and came out of the house. He was about to bolt the door and go downstairs when he remembered that his clothes were still in the Fragrance Room. So he went back to his room to get his clothes.
At that moment, Xiangying was sitting inside the embroidered tent and listening to the commotion outside. She was very afraid that Lee Yanyi might offend the pirates. She only calmed down when she saw Lee Yanyi open the door and return. ”What took you so long to bolt his door?”
Lee Yanyi lied, ”I'll stand outside his door and listen to what's going on inside. I'll see if he's asleep or awake. And sure enough, he was snoring soundly, so I bolted the door and came back. ”
When Xiang Ying heard this, her delicate face relaxed. She regained her smile and said, ”Then let's quickly change clothes and become husband and wife, shall we?”
Lee Yanyi ignored her and put on his hat and clothes before leaving.
”Why do you want to go before you are husband and wife?” Did you scare him? ”
Li Yao said, ”I was scared of him. That Pirate is really powerful, and when I heard him snoring, I felt a chill run down my spine. I was afraid he would wake up and shoot me. Today, they couldn't be husband and wife anymore. After he's gone, I'll come back. ”
Xiang Ying hurriedly got up to grab Lee Yanyi. Lee Yanyi randomly fished out a handful of silver taels and stepped forward to tell her, ”Please forgive me, Miss.” I am a very timid person. Don't tell anyone I've been here. Goodbye! Goodbye! ”
Lee Yanyi hurriedly went outside the door. Huang Er went up to him and asked in a low voice: ”Did you block him?”
Lee Yanyi nodded and got into the car. He said, ”Take me to the south side of the city.” When Huang Er heard that his plan had been completely successful, he was also overjoyed. He pulled Lee Yanyi along and got on the right path as he ran towards the south.
When Lee Yanyi just arrived at Crossroads Street, he saw two officers riding on horses coming from the opposite direction. The two of them rode their horses majestically. Lee Yanyi was a little flustered and said to himself, ”Thank goodness I didn't get entangled with Xiang Ying. I left in time.” These two must be looking for the Zhu pirates. ”
When they came closer, Lee Yanyi asked, ”Do you know these two military personnel?”
Huang Er said: ”These two are officers under the Zhu Clan. The rider of the white horse is called Wang Geng, and he is the vice-captain. The rider of the black horse is called Lu Wang, and he is the chief of staff. ” As they spoke, the two of them drew near.
Wang Can reined in his horse and asked Second Brother Huang: ”Second Brother Huang, where are you from? Do you see our captain? ” Second Huang said: ”I saw it. It's in the 'Pear Fragrance Garden'.”
The two of them said, ”Go on, go on!” The horse galloped away. Li Yan thought to herself, ”Huang Er is really talkative!” Looking back, he saw that the two of them were heading towards the ”Pear Fragrance Garden”. Lee Yanyi was worried that something might happen. He urged Huang Xuan, ”Leave quickly.” Huang Er did not know why, so he got into the car and quickly went through Crossroads Street and ran towards the south.
It turned out that Wang Geng and Lu Wang were looking for the Zhu Clan's pirates.
Although the Zhu Clan was in the wrong, he still had a few regular soldiers under his command. Wang Can and Lu Wang were both revolutionaries, officers of the regular army. The two men had been transferred to the Zhu pirate army to monitor their actions and bring them back to normal. In addition to the revolutionaries, there were also a number of White Rising Rebels who failed to join the army.
These revolutionaries and Bairang's allies all hated Yuan Shikai and swore to be on bad terms with him. They privately calculated to join the uprising organized by Cai Songpo and Li Liejun. These people were carrying the Zhu pirates and had already made contact with Cai Songpo and Li Lijun.
