Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 229 The Spine of the Nation
Seeing Ma Yunlu blowing his beard and staring there, Hu Yu tried hard to hold his breath and didn't laugh out loud, it seems that Ma Yunlu and Huang Heng are really in love, needless to say, it must have been Huang Heng who intercepted Ma Yunlu's Hu and took away all the night pearls on the market.
Hu Yu didn't think it was a big deal, and asked with a smile: "Then do you know who took the Night Pearl away?"
Hearing Hu Yu ask about this stubble, Ma Yunlu seemed to have been trampled on and said loudly: "Hmph, don't mention it, I met a hob meat, and when I inquired later, I learned that it was the bandit leader who was entrenched on the border of my Dacheng country, and he was also known as Huang Dashan, I am a ruffian." ”
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, it's a big deal. Hu Yu walked to Ma Yunlu's side, followed Ma Yunlu's juniors with one hand, and continued: "Now that I am a great country, the people are safe, and the border army is even more powerful, how can there be such a force entrenched on the border?"
For Sifang Town, it can be said that Hu Yu is the only place he cares about now, there are not only his senior brother Huang Heng, but also Qiao Yin and Lai Bawen, these are Hu Yu's closest relatives now, Hu Yu didn't think that there was any crisis in Sifang Town before he came to Qixia City, but after seeing the things and people in Qixia City, the safety of Sifang Town suddenly surged into Hu Yu's heart.
Ma Yunlu sighed, the sad and indignant expression on his face also subsided a lot, and slowly said: "Hey, this matter is not easy to say, if I, an idle cloud and wild crane, are casually beaked in the temple, it is easy to attract right and wrong in vain." ”
Hu Yu frowned slightly, Ma Yunlu said this is not simple, one is to secretly accuse Hu Yu of asking some things that should not be asked, and the other is to express distrust of Hu Yu, thinking that Hu Yu will spread the conversation between the two of them, and the most important point is to tell Hu Yu that he already knows Hu Yu's origin very well and knows that Hu Yu is from Sifang Town.
After hesitating for a while, Hu Yu opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Ma, look at what you say, don't say that this Lin Youlou is your territory, even in this stone house, there are only you and me, are you still afraid that your nephew will spread what you said." ”
Hu Yu's words were also clear, that is, he showed his attitude and told Ma Yunlu that he was absolutely trustworthy.
Ma Yunlu smiled slightly, walked to the side of the pool, and then said to Hu Yu: "Virtuous nephew, our two men don't talk secretly, in fact, I have a detailed understanding of your experience over the years, but I didn't expect it... ”
Ma Yunlu shook his head slowly, and did not finish the rest of the words, but had an emotional look on his face.
"Oh, I didn't expect the old man to be so interested in the kid?" Hu Yu changed his title again, from Uncle Ma to Uncle Shi to the current old man, which also shows that Hu Yu's attitude towards Ma Yunlu has changed, and a defensive wall has been erected in his heart.
Ma Yunlu sat next to the pool, stirring gently in the pool with his hand, and said with a very focused expression: "Nephew, I think your heart should be full of doubts at this time, why I, an old man, are so interested in you. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Yunlu didn't continue, and the movements in his hands stopped, staring at Hu Yu with his eyes, as if he was deciding a very important matter.
Hu Yu met Ma Yunlu's gaze without flinching.
Since Ma Yunlu took the initiative to put the topic on the right track, Hu Yu also said to Ma Yunlu half-truthfully: "Yes, my nephew has always been puzzled why Uncle Ma looks at his nephew differently, after all, Uncle Ma can be said to be the number one person in this imperial city, and his nephew is just a hairy boy who has just entered the imperial city. ”
Ma Yunlu put away the serious expression on his face, and said to Hu Yu with a smile: "Hehe, sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, in fact, you don't have to test me anymore, I don't have any malice towards you, if I have bad intentions, you won't have a chance to talk to me face-to-face." ”
Ma Yunlu was right, if he had ill intentions towards Hu Yu, he could easily take Hu Yu's life when Hu Yu was in a coma, not only did he not do this, but he also asked Youjie to take care of Hu Yu carefully, and also had the idea of matching Hu Yu with an outer room, so Hu Yu would not be able to see through Ma Yunlu's thoughts.
However, when Ma Yunlu said that the tiger father had no dogs, Hu Yu's heart suddenly opened up, and he did not count his father who was no longer in the world, speaking of which his father was the person who stood at the top of Dacheng at the beginning, and there were countless people who had intersected with him, so it was not surprising that there was a Ma Yunlu.
Hu Yu's expression was a little excited, and he said to Ma Yunlu: "Uncle Ma, what do you mean by this?"
"You kid, you have spoken so thoroughly and are still so careful, it seems that you have also experienced a lot of hardships, so Uncle Ma will speak more openly!"
When he said this, Ma Yunlu paused, and then put his hand into the pool, as if he was salvaging something.
Hu Yu stared at Ma Yunlu without saying a word, although he said that he was extremely urgent in his heart, he still waited for Ma Yunlu's arm to sway in the pool, until Ma Yunlu stopped the movement in his hand and scooped up an object wrapped in sheep intestines from the pool.
Looking at the objects in his hand, Ma Yunlu said with great emotion: "Virtuous nephew, if it weren't for your father, I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, and where did I come from to be at ease now." ”
After that, Ma Yunlu handed the object in his hand to Hu Yu, although this object was wrapped in sheep intestines, but through the straightened sheep intestines, he could still vaguely see that this was a jade tag, a tag with glyphs carved on it.
Hu Yu carefully took the object, and then slowly removed the sheep intestines, a transparent jade tag appeared in Hu Yu's hand, Hu Yu gently rubbed the surface of the jade pendant, and looked at the vigorous and powerful 'ancient' word in the center of the jade pendant.
After a while, Hu Yu asked, "Uncle Ma, what is this?"
When Hu Yu was in a daze, Ma Yunlu had already walked to the side of the wooden frame, and used the towel on it to suck the water-soaked cuffs dry, after hearing Hu Yu's question, Ma Yunlu put down the towel, stared at the gem in Hu Yu's hand, and said with emotion: " This is the tag that your father gave me, it can be said that this is a symbol of status, at the beginning, the people who can make and give this kind of tag to others are not more than a palm in the whole Dacheng country, but unfortunately after so many years, those heroes have long been buried in the loess, forgotten by the world. ”
Hu Yu muttered, "Father?"
Although he knew his life experience from Xinyue, Hu Yu had never seriously thought about this problem, for his own life experience, his parents, Hu Yu had been extremely eager and fantasized, in the dead of night every day, when the dream came every night, Hu Yu's mind had all kinds of images of parents, but no matter which image it was, it could not completely stay in Hu Yu's heart, because since he could remember, he had never seen his parents.
Now Ma Yunlu mentioned Hu Yu's father in front of Hu Yu, even Hu Yu, who was already like a rock, lost his body for a short time, and the image of his father broke into his mind again.
Ma Yunlu stared at Hu Yu and said word by word: "That's right, your father, the backbone of my Dacheng country, Gu Bin, the ancient country." ”
"The spine of the country?"
Hu Yu's mind about the image of his father is a little more profound, the spine of the country, these four words are not everyone can be competent, even the prime minister Shang Peng, who is now praised by the world, no one uses the four words of the spine of the country to describe him, which shows how important these four words are.
Ma Yunlu stared at the tag in Hu Yu's hand and said: "Although these four words are the plaque given by the emperor to your grandfather Gu Yuan, but in our hearts, your father is even more blue." ”
Hu Yu's mind gradually eased, he held the tag in his hand tightly, and asked Ma Yunlu: "Uncle Ma, what happened at the beginning, why did my son who is the backbone of the country live in a foreign land, and the third uncle who raised me as an adult deliberately concealed my true identity?"
Hu Yu had no doubts about what Ma Yunlu said, because Ma Yunlu did not need to go around such a big circle to deceive Hu Yu, not to mention that Hu Yu also had a certain understanding of Gu Guogong, so Hu Yu chose to believe everything Ma Yunlu said.
"Hey. ”
Ma Yunlu sighed, did not rush to answer Hu Yu's question, but walked to a mural on the wall, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the mural, and the originally tightly fitting mural retreated to the side, revealing a secret passage hidden behind.
In fact, it is not so accurate to say that it is a secret passage, because many people in Lin Youlou know this secret passage, and after knowing the place where the secret passage leads, those people prefer to call this secret passage a step, because the place where this secret passage leads is just the top floor of the stone chamber, it is just a terrace, and there is no hidden secret.
"It's a long story, let's go up and talk slowly. Ma Yunlu turned his head to Hu Yu and said a word, and then stepped into the secret passage.
Hu Yu took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the excitement in his heart, and followed Ma Yunlu into the secret passage.
Compared with Huang Heng's underground secret room, the secret passage in Ma Yunlu's stone room is not worth mentioning, because after entering the secret passage, there is a staircase with a corner, and after going up the stairs, Ma Yunlu and Hu Yu appeared on the top floor of Lin Youlou.
