Chapter 160: The Secret History of the Hou Family
In the study, I thought that there were only two of them, but I didn't expect Zhuang Enqi to come in, of course, this was instructed by Hou Sihai, otherwise he would not have come in. Pen %Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Novels.23txt.
"Uncle, what is it about you that makes you so mysterious?"
Hou Sihai didn't answer immediately, and sat there quietly, as if thinking about something.
"Mingwang, you have been by my side since you were a child, and you are also the most proud little son of my Hou family, but do you know how our Hou family is?"
Hou Mingwang was stunned for a moment, didn't know why his uncle mentioned this matter, shook his head and said: "The child doesn't know, I only know that when I was about ten years old, we were big salt merchants, and the specific reason, you didn't say it, and the child didn't know." ”
Hou Sihai sighed and recalled the events of the year.
"Back then, my uncle was also an official in the imperial court, although he was in charge of the world's money and grain, but he was honest and thrifty, and he never embezzled a penny of the imperial court, and all the changes began on a day twenty years ago.
On that day, I received the most painful news in my life, your father died, everything caught me off guard, and the change in our waiting family began. ”
Hou Mingwang didn't know this at all, and he didn't understand why Hou Sihai mentioned this, does it have anything to do with the current situation!
Hou Sihai continued: "Your father and I have been different people since we were children, with different personalities, different preferences, and even different views on the future of the Hou family, so that we always quarrel, but this can't hurt our feelings.
Since I was a child, he practiced martial arts, I was determined to take the test to achieve fame and glory to the ancestors, but your father wanted to walk the rivers and lakes, just like that, the two of us separated because of different wills, he became a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes, and I held an important position in the court, but even so, no one knew that the two of us were brothers.
Time flies, I almost forgot that there is this brother, and he is about to forget that there is also my brother, but on that stormy night, the bad news of your father's death came.
At that time, the imperial court was invaded by foreign enemies, and I devoted all my body and mind to preparing money and food, and it was at this time that the news of your father's death came, and I couldn't accept it for a while, but due to the tension of current affairs, I didn't have time to think too much, so I had to wait until the end of the war to solve the matter, and it didn't take long for you to be sent to my house, and the person who sent you said that you were my nephew, but I didn't believe it, although I had little contact with your father, I didn't know what children he had. In this way, I invited the most famous Lang Zhong at that time to come and identify you, and it turned out that you all know that you are my own nephew. ”
After speaking, Hou Sihai tried his best to calm his emotions so that he would not be too excited, but every time he thought about it, it still made him feel heavy.
Hou Mingwang finally knew his life experience, but his reaction was much calmer than Hou Sihai imagined, at least he was very calm, and there was no excitement. This made Hou Sihai feel very surprised. It's not that he wasn't excited, he also asked Hou Sihai about his life experience, but Hou Sihai always found various reasons to prevaricate, and never answered positively.
"Why did Uncle talk about this today, did you come all the way to tell me this?" Hou Mingwang asked.
"No, I'm just letting you know about your background and what kind of person your father is, and the next words are the focus of what I want to say!"
"Uncle, please speak!"
"Just the other day, a mysterious guest came to me and told me about all the things that happened to your father, and that's the point of my remarks."
"Did my father have any secrets that no one knew?" Hou Mingwang was finally excited.
"Yes, your father was a little famous in the rivers and lakes back then, but he was not at the top level, but he became the most important part of a storm in the rivers and lakes.
Although your father's martial arts are average, he is extremely upright, and because of this, many Jianghu sects are vying to let your father join, but your father has his own ideals, he wants to create his own portal and become the originator of the mountain, but the order of the rivers and lakes at that time has been formed, and it is impossible for any new forces to join easily. In this way, your father wandered around, but he never gave up on his ideals.
Finally one day, the rivers and lakes were in chaos, and various sects were in an uproar for turf, and the seemingly solid order of the rivers and lakes was broken in this way, and your father became a victim of this matter. ”
The more Hou Mingwang listened, the more gloomy his face became, for so many years, his uncle treated him like his own son, but even so, the pain of losing his father has always been a knot in his heart, although he didn't say it, it didn't mean that he didn't care.
Zhuang Enqi knew something about the chaos in the rivers and lakes back then, but he didn't know that there was still a waiting family here, could it be that the catastrophe really spread so widely!
Hou Sihai continued: "Back then, the Sword Sect and the Demon Sect stood side by side, and the two forces were equal, but one acted secretively and the other was above board, and things were born on the side of the bright and upright.
Back then, in order to compete for the supremacy of martial arts, the two forces were inextricably fought, and finally ended with the victory of the Demon Sect, however, the Sword Sect Sect Master Lang Yunfan left a huge secret to future generations, that is, the Ring of Ink Stone, according to legend, this ring hides the secret of the Demon Sword Two Sects, and it hides a huge treasure. ”
"And what does this have to do with my father's death?"
"The Ink Stone Ring is a priceless treasure, and at the same time, it is also a great disaster, because Lang Yunfan gave the Ink Stone Ring to your father just before he died!"
Hou Mingwang didn't feel anything, but Zhuang Enqi on the side was surprised, the Ink Stone Ring can be described as a secret that cannot be said on the rivers and lakes, but no one knows it, no one knows it, who would have thought that such a treasure would fall into the hands of Hou Mingwang's father, it is incredible.
"And then, and then my father died?" Hou Mingwang asked very calmly.
Hou Sihai nodded and said: "Yes, I don't know who passed the news, I learned the whereabouts of the Ink Stone Ring, all the sects pursued and killed your father almost at the same time, and in the end, your father still couldn't escape the doom and died in the hands of those Jianghu people."
I don't kill Boren, but Boren got up because of me, this is the relationship between your father and Lang Yunfan, although that group of people killed your father, but the real murderer is Lang Yunfan! As he spoke, he waited for the old tears of the four seas.
And Hou Mingwang naturally maintained his calmness, although he was also shocked in his heart, but this matter was too important, and it was likely to affect the fate of the rest of his life, and he didn't want to act hastily. After thinking about it, he said to Sikai: "Why did my uncle tell me this until today, don't you think it would be better to tell me earlier?" ”
Hou Sihai sighed and said, "Mingwang, it's not that I won't tell you, I only found out recently." ”
"Oh? You know, so who told you? ”
"An old friend of mine, he told me!"
"If the boy guessed correctly, this old friend of yours is an old friend who wants to borrow from us!"
Hou Sihai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mingwang, you are really smart, yes, it is this person!" ”
"Then can my uncle tell me who he is?"
Hou Sihai looked in danger: "It's not that my uncle didn't tell you, it's just that this old friend said that he didn't want to reveal his identity, you are my nephew, of course I will believe you, but I can only tell you that he is a member of the Demon Sect!" ”
"Demon Sect?" Hou Mingwang fell into deep thought.
Is his word reliable? I don't want to be used as a gunman for no apparent reason! ”
Zhuang Enqi nodded secretly, thinking that this little marquis looked cynical on weekdays, but he didn't expect his mind to be so delicate!
"I've also thought about this problem, you can't believe his words and you can't believe them, no one will chase after the wind and catch the shadows, if there is really no such thing, if Lang Yunfan hadn't done it back then, how could such a thing happen today!"
Hou Mingwang also felt that it made sense, but he just kept this matter in his heart, and he didn't make a noise, and it was impossible for him to act rashly before he thoroughly investigated it.
"Uncle, I think this friend of yours must be more than just borrowing the Tao!"
"Huh...... Indeed, he needs our financial support! ”
The more Hou Mingwang listened, the more wrong he became, the Hou family was rich, but it was not so much that anyone could borrow it and anyone could use it.
"Uncle, I still have one more question, please tell me the truth!"
Hou Sihai nodded.
"This friend of yours has an official way but wants to borrow our business channel, I don't know what he wants to transport?"
"Hey...... Mingwang, it's not that my uncle won't tell you, in fact, I don't know what he's going to do! ”
"Since I don't know that you will lend it to him, if there is any accident or something illegal, we may not have a good time!"
Hou Sihai smiled bitterly: "I don't understand this truth, but there are some things that I can't help myself, and many things can't be settled with money!" ”
Hou Mingwang understood that this so-called friend was not a friend, he must have used some means to intimidate or persecute his uncle, otherwise it would never be possible to take advantage of the Tao, and he vaguely felt that he had been involved in a huge conspiracy.
Once again, the room fell silent, and none of the three spoke, each thinking about his own thoughts. Hou Mingwang knows that his uncle loves him the most, and he himself is called the little Hou Ye, but the real helmsman of the Hou family is Hou Sihai, and the thing that has been borrowed has been completed, and there is no change, what he wants to do now is to figure out the truth of the matter, figure out why, and then come up with a way back for the Hou family.
Thinking of this, Hou Mingwang smiled, looked at Hou Sihai and said, "Uncle, I don't know where this friend of yours is, the child wants to meet him, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
