Early the next morning, Hong Tian Xiao brought Yang Yi Zhi to the third room in the west wing.
"Who is it?"? He was a criminal of the court, and he was injured. Hearing a knock early in the morning, Mao Shi Ba couldn't help but feel nervous. His right hand naturally gripped the hilt of his sword beside his pillow and he asked in a low voice.
"Brother Mao, I am Yang Yizhi." A voice that Mao Shi Ba would never forget.
" Ah!" A surprised voice came from the room, and then there was no more sound. After a while, the door was opened with a click. Mao Shi Ba held a wooden stick in his right hand and opened the door." It really is Brother Yang. Quick, come in. If it wasn't for Brother Yang saving me that day, I would have been chopped into pieces by those Tartars."”
Hearing this, Yang Yizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself,'Save me? Only a bastard would want to get involved in that muddy water. If it wasn't for Cui Zhitong who said that I was a traitor of the Heaven and Earth Society, I would have long run away on horseback.' However, if not for this, how could he have met the young cult master? But now, he seemed to be the real traitor. Yang Yizhi couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. Originally, Yang Yi Zhi addressed Hong Tian Xiao as lord, but Hong Tian Xiao felt awkward hearing it and firmly refused, making Yang Yi Zhi change to young cult master and address him as young master in front of others.
After the three of them sat down, Mao Shi Ba looked at Hong Tian Xiao and asked,"" Brother Yang, may I know who this is…" When Hong Tian Xiao appeared, Mao Shi Ba had already walked far away, so he didn't recognize him. Even if Mao Shi Ba hadn't left and Hong Tian Xiao was wearing a mask, Mao Shi Ba wouldn't recognize him if he saw him again.
"Oh, this is my young master, his main name is Hong Tian Xiao.”
"So it's Young Master Hong.”Although he said he was being disrespectful, Mao Shi Ba actually didn't think much of Hong Tian Xiao. Hong Tian Xiao was handsome and did not look like a martial arts practitioner. Mao Shi Ba had mistakenly thought that Yang Yi Zhi was Hong Tian Xiao's general and that Hong Tian Xiao was just an ignorant and incompetent playboy.
"Brother Mao's leg injury hasn't healed yet? Did Brother Mao encounter the Tartar soldiers again these days?”Yang Yizhi saw that Mao Shi Ba was still limping and remembered that his knife wound was even more serious, but he had already recovered. He didn't feel strange, but he didn't know that Hong Tian Xiao had used Hu Qingniu's peerless medical skills to treat him.
"Not really. It's just that I'm a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and a few days ago, during the Battle of Setting Sun, so many soldiers died. Yangzhou City is heavily guarded, so I didn't dare to enter. It wasn't until yesterday that the city gates were relaxed, allowing me to enter.”Mao Shiba didn't know that after he escaped, the battle had become even more intense. Even Cui Zhitong had lost his life in Sunset Break.
Hong Tian Xiao and Yang Yi Zhi finally understood. Mao Shi Ba couldn't enter Yang Zhou city, so naturally he could buy medicine for the wounds. The healing speed of his leg was naturally much slower.
"That day, Brother Yang saved this little brother's life. This little brother is afraid that I won't be able to see Brother Yang again in the future and repay this life-saving grace. Since Brother Yang is here today, I, Mao Shi Ba, can finally relax. As long as Brother Yang says the word, I, Mao Shi Ba, will not frown even if it means a mountain of blades or a sea of flames.”Mao Shi Ba patted his chest heavily.
After Hong Tian Xiao and Yang Yi Zhi heard this, they both thought in their hearts,'My (Yi Zhi's) martial arts skills are much higher than yours. If even I (he) can't do it, how can you do it?' However, he could only say this in his heart. If it was on the table, Mao Shi Ba would not be able to take it.
"Brother Mao is too polite. It is the duty of martial artists like us to pull out our swords to help when we see injustice on the road. Let alone an unyielding man like Brother Mao, even if it was some unknown people in the martial arts world, I would also help.”Yang Yizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had saved Mao Shi Ba because he was passive, it wasn't his intention. Now that things had come to this, he could only go with the flow.
"Haha, Brother Yang is truly a straightforward person. I, Mao Shi Ba, am really happy to be able to befriend a hero like Brother Yang. Come, Brother Yang, let's get drunk in this little brother's room today.”Mao Shi Ba was a hero of the wilderness, he naturally had a bold and unrestrained personality.
Yang Yizhi and Mao Shi Ba exchanged words, leaving Hong Tian Xiao to the side. Hong Tian Xiao could see that Mao Shi Ba only treated him as a normal young master, but he wasn't angry. He thought to himself,'When those salt owls come, you won't look down on me anymore.' He suddenly thought that he and Yang Yizhi were in Mao Shi Ba's room, he didn't know if Mao Shi Ba would still take the blame for Jia Lao Jiu.
As Yang Yizhi conversed with Mao Shi Ba, he secretly observed Hong Tian Xiao's expression and found that the latter didn't look unhappy at all, so he relaxed.
After a while, the dishes were served and Mao Shi Ba was toasting Yang Yi Zhi one cup after another. Although Yang Yi Zhi was worried that Hong Tian Xiao would be unhappy, Mao Shi Ba was indeed too generous. Yang Yi Zhi and Mao Shi Ba could only toast each other. Hong Tian Xiao couldn't interrupt, so he poured himself a cup and drank, waiting for the arrival of the Salt Owl.
After about two hours, a commotion suddenly came from outside. Then, five or nine people shouted in unison,"Friends from the business, ladies, and friends who came to spend some money, listen up. We're here to find someone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. No one is allowed to make any noise or move. If you don't listen to our orders, don't blame us for being rude!”
Hong Tian Xiao secretly rejoiced in his heart. This group of adorable salt owls had indeed come.
Mao Shi Ba frowned, clearly having a good chat with Yang Yi Zhi. The people outside had disturbed his mood. Hong Tian Xiao's heart stirred, and he hurriedly said,""I'll go outside and take a look. You guys chat first.”With that, he got up and went out. Mao Shi Ba had long felt that Hong Tian Xiao was not on the same side as them. Seeing that he had taken the initiative to go out, he naturally did not stop him and let him go.
Hong Tian Xiao walked out of the door and saw a commotion in the Li Chun Courtyard. The women were screaming and the men were shouting. It was a mess. Although Mingyu Lane had eight courtyards, there was not only one boss of each of the eight courtyards, but five. Among them, the Lichun Court and the Spring Court were the same boss. It was said that this person had an extraordinary relationship with the governor of Yangzhou. Therefore, although the two courtyards were famous for their beauty, no one dared to cause trouble here. Therefore, this sudden change really made the people of Li Chun Court feel helpless and did not know how to deal with it.
Hong Tian Xiao stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down. He saw a banquet being held in the courtyard. More than ten salt merchants were sitting at three tables, and each of them had a woman sitting beside them. When they heard this shout, their expressions changed drastically. They asked in unison,"What is it?" "Who is it?" "Is the government here to investigate?" Suddenly, there was a drum-like sound from the door. The turtle slave was so frightened that he didn't know whether to open the door or not.
Right at this moment, there was a loud bang as the door was pushed open, and seventeen or eighteen burly men rushed in.
