Chapter 277: The Lone Thief
The bearded man was full of disdain for the black-feathered night crow in his words, and Yuwen Chengchao was in a complicated mood.
The Black Feather Night Crow is famous all over the world, and if there is no Black Feather Night Crow, maybe Xiling would have fallen into the mouth of the Vedic people.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they have made great achievements.
But what the Black Feather Night Raven did tonight was a despicable act.
The bearded man had turned over and dismounted, and the package was loaded on his horse's back, and the bearded man took the bow and arrow from his body and put it on the horse's back, and then he went to the brook, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands first with the water of the stream, and then washed his face, and his movements were crisp.
Yuwen Chengchao also got off the horse, put the head of the old marquis on the horse, and then walked over and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname, I don't know if I can tell him?" ”
"You've already said it." The bearded man Hu Huluo said: "You are the eldest son of the Yuwen family?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao said: "You know me? ”
"It's just a name, and there's nothing you can't do." "Anyway, there are few people in this world who know my name. He looked at Yuwen Chengchao and said: "My surname is Hu, you can call me Hu Camel, the camel of the camel, the name is not very good." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Hu." Yuwen Chengchao hurriedly said: "I am Yuwen Chengchao. ”
"I can't talk about it." Hu Huo laughed and said: "What kind of chivalrous courage, the last thing Lao Tzu wants is to be righteous." There are too many treacherous people in this world, and if you really talk about righteousness, you will be betrayed by others in the future, and you will not be able to stand it. It's better to have everything clear, hahaha! ”
"Brother Hu is so far away, he can hear what they say clearly, this ear power is really amazing." Yuwen Chengchao said admiringly.
Hu Huo raised his finger and pointed to his ear, and said with a smile: "I heard what you said just now. I passed through the woods, and saw some people making bonfires, and I wanted to eat and drink, but I saw that they were soldiers, and I wanted to leave, so as not to cause trouble, but I heard a soldier talking to you, and then I saw the black feather night crow attacking the cavalry. Originally, it was none of my business, but the Black Feather Night Crow borrowed a knife to kill people, and I really don't care if you died unjustly, but as a Night Crow, it would be too shameless to cut the knife at the person who was bound, if it was a good man, they untied your rope and then threw a knife to you, and I didn't care about it. ”
Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly and said, "Brother Hu is chivalrous and courageous. ”
"That's a lot of what you're asking." Hu Huo said: "But you are the eldest son of the Yuwen family, the Yuwen family is one of the three major gates of Xiling, and the strength is strong, how did you fall into this position?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao groaned slightly, thinking that although he was the eldest son of the Yuwen family, Fenggan Mansion had been controlled by General Hei Yu, and he had a home that he could not return, so he was sad in his heart, and he did not hide it.
Hu Camel sat on the edge of the stream, touched his beard, very sloppy, and pointed to his ears: "My ears are natural, I can hear the sound of speech within fifty steps, maybe I was a dog in my last life, and I was reincarnated in this life, and Lord Yama forgot to accept my dog ears." ”
Yuwen Chengchao also simply sat down on the side and asked, "Where did Brother Hu come from?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Naturally, it is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
Hu Huo said: "I heard that during the Wutuo Rebellion, the Duhu army fought a bloody battle with the Wutuo people, but the Xiling family stayed out of the matter, and your Xiling family had already formed a feud with the Duhu army at that time. ”
"So, General Hei Yu has promised to let your Yuwen family live?" Hu Huo sneered: "Since there is a promise, but."
Why do you secretly use the Zhen family's wolf horse to ambush you? ”
"Brother Hu is reasonable." Yuwen Cheng bowed his head and said, "But since it was the Black Feather Night Crow who did it, Su Shoumo could not escape his responsibility." ”
Hu Camel said with a smile: "The Black Feather Night Crow used the wolf rider to ambush it, making people mistakenly think that it was the Zhen family's wolf rider who attacked you, and the wolf rider avenged the Zhen family, but it also makes sense, and no one will suspect it." However, after borrowing a knife to kill someone, he rode the wolf to kill him, which was a bit vicious. Touching his beard, he said: "Who instructed the wolf to ride in ambush, it's not easy for you to find out." ”
"What Brother Hu said is true." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "We thought that Su Shoumo's generation of famous generals was naturally broad-minded, and because of this, we agreed to migrate into the customs, but we didn't expect ......!" ”
Hu Huo said: "I don't think this matter may be instigated by Su Shoumo behind his back. Su Shoumo is also a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he is only afraid of disdain for this kind of indiscriminate method of secretly ambushing. After a pause, he said: "But the people under him are all people who escaped death back then, and these people see their comrades dying on the battlefield, so they naturally put the responsibility on the heads of your Xiling family." Su Shoumo wants to let you go, but the people under him may not be willing. ”
"Not yet." Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "He only brought the guards to Xiling, and he has not mobilized troops and horses from the Guannei yet. As long as I can prove that it was the night crow who instructed the wolf to ride in an ambush, Su Shoumo wants to stay in Xiling, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. ”
Hu Huo stood up and said, "This is a grievance between you, and I can't care about it." He walked over to his horse: "Don't worry about me saving you, I always have to be paid for what I do, unless I don't like it." You're lucky tonight, I don't like those night crows, and I saved you by the way, otherwise you'll have to pay the money. ”
Yuwen Chengchao's eyes were grim, and he said: "Tang Wuxian, the deputy commander of the wolf cavalry, naturally knows who instigated it, he must have reached some kind of agreement with the Black Feather Night Raven in private, if he can be used as a witness, he can let the world know about Su Shoumo's despicable behavior." He clenched his fists and said, "Tang Wuxian was chased and killed by the night crows, if he can escape, he is a witness." ”
"What if he's a witness?" Hu Huo said: "Didn't Su Shoumo already control Fenggan Mansion? ”
Hu Huo frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao didn't talk nonsense, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and sent them over, Hu Huo was stunned, stretched out his hand to take it, Yuwen Chengchao said: "This is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, you can exchange it for cash when you go to the bank." ”
Yuwen Chengchao also got up and walked over, and said, "Brother Hu, where are you going?" ”
"I'm just wandering around, I do good business, I call it a ranger if I say it well, but if I don't say it well, I'm a lone thief." Hu Huo turned over and got on his horse: "Whoever can afford the silver, let me kill people and set fires." Wave your hand: "Let's go, there will be no time in the future!" He was about to urge the horse to leave, but Yuwen Chengchao quickly rushed to the front and blocked the way.
Yuwen Chengchao said: "Then how about we do this business?" 10,000 taels of silver is the silver that is paid in advance, and if you help me kill someone in the future, I will directly deduct it from it, and when I kill 10,000 taels, you will tell me. ”
Hu Huo's body leaned forward slightly, his arms propped up on the horse's back, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't let me kill Su Shoumo, right?" Eldest son, the ugly words are ahead, I don't do business casually, I don't do anything that I don't spend when I earn money. If you ask me to kill, I will also weigh whether I can kill or not, and if I am not more than seventy percent sure, I will never make a move. Su Shoumo is a famous general in the empire, not to mention that he has many guards around him, he is also a master himself, if he wants to kill him, I am not even sure of twenty percent. Also, killing him will inevitably cause the wrath of the court, and the emperor will definitely find the real culprit at all costs, those eunuchs in the purple prison have a nose that is smarter than a dog, and sooner or later they will find me, and if I really want to be targeted by the purple prison, I don't know how I died. He handed back the silver ticket: "Eldest prince, if you want to kill Su Shoumo, you should take the silver back, Hu will not be blessed." ”
"Ten thousand taels?" Hu Huo took the silver ticket, looked at it by the moonlight, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is really generous. The most expensive thing I do is killing, and the price of killing is different, and the most expensive is two thousand taels
, the ordinary one is only two or three hundred taels, and your ten thousand taels of silver are enough for me to help you kill five or six famous people. ”
Yuwen Chengchao looked up at the sky before saying, "Let's go to Turtle City first." ”
"Turtle City?"
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, if it is found out that Su Shoumo personally instigated it, I will kill him with my own hands, and I won't let you do it." You take the money, and if you kill people in the future, you can kill if you think you can, and if you feel that you can't kill, I won't force you. ”
"Happy." Hu Huo immediately put the silver ticket into his arms, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Doing business with you rich people is a pleasure." Eldest son, before the ten thousand taels of silver are used up, I will be your knife and follow you to kill. ”
"If he's still alive and we can find his family before he does, then of course he's in the trap." Yuwen Chengchao walked quickly to his horse and turned over on his horse: "So we must hurry up and find his family before him." ”
Hu Tuo smiled: "Take your silver, whatever you say is what you say." ”
"To find out what is behind the scenes, we must ask the truth from Tang Wuxian's mouth." Yuwen Chengchao's expression was grim: "I only hope that he can escape from the hands of the night crow, after he escapes, he naturally cares about his family the most." ”
Hu Huo nodded and said, "That's right. Chased and killed by the Night Crow, the surnamed Tang will definitely worry that the Night Crow will take his family under the knife, as long as he escapes death, he will definitely transfer his family first. Does the eldest prince want to go to Turtle City first, find out the residence of Tang Wuji's family, and then wait for Tang Wuxian to throw himself into the net? ”
Yuwen Chengchao didn't talk nonsense, shook the reins of the horse, urged the horse to leave, and Hu Camel also shook the reins, followed Yuwen Chengcheng behind him, and galloped away in the direction of Turtle City to the west.
