Zhou Nan stood still in the hall, saluted with both hands, and said loudly: "Leader Hu, I haven't seen you for a year, don't you know each other?" He couldn't tell whether Hu Dugu was just a name or a surname, so he simply abbreviated it.

Hu Dugu took a closer look, only to recognize that the man in front of him was the Orion who shot a tiger in the mountains last year to save the princess of Shu, and couldn't help but stand up, wondering in his heart, and suddenly thought that this Orion was from Taihang Mountain, and wondered how he suddenly broke into himself in the middle of the night, his heart was chaotic, but he said: "It turned out to be Zhou Yingying, please sit down." ”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was strange, obviously in the middle of the night, there was no one around, but the two people in the hall greeted each other like visiting relatives and friends.

Zhou Nan was not polite, and sat in the guest seat, and Hu Dugu also understood five or six points in his heart. Xiao Wu and Ba Shi met Taihang to sell wine, it must be this surnamed Zhou, I'm afraid that the surname Gao also came. "These two bastards, they must have deliberately let them go, and they followed them all the way." Hu Dugu had a smile on his face and said to Zhou Nan: "When did Zhou Yingying come to Yanjing?" I don't know what to do in Yanjing? ”

Zhou Nan didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "I only went to Beijing the day before yesterday to sell some steamed wine brewed by the villagers, and I didn't want to meet the two subordinates of the big boss's mansion, so I broke into the restaurant in the middle of the night, intending to mistreat the princess, and I met them, and these two people didn't say where the big boss Hu's family lived, so I had to find it myself." ”

When Hu Dugu heard Zhou Nan's first sentence, he completely understood in his heart. As soon as Zhou Nan's words fell, Hu Dugu slapped the table vigorously and scolded: "Zhou Yingying is really angry with me when he talks about this!" With that, he walked to the door of the hall and shouted, "Someone! When the two family members came out of the ear room, Hu Dugu said, "Go and bring those two thieves to me!" The two family members turned around and left.

Hu Dugu came back and sat down, and continued: "Those two princes and eight lambs in my house actually colluded and rebelled, plotting against each other, and just now they hurriedly came back to pack up their belongings and wanted to escape, but they were bumped into by my housekeeper and have been locked up by me. He hugged his fists and thanked Zhou Nan: "If it weren't for Zhou Yingying's coincidence of this incident, Hu would not have died a hundred times to atone for his crimes." ”

After a while, two family members came up with Xiao Wu and Ba Shi, who had just recovered their minds. When Xiao Wu and Ba Shimeng saw Zhou Nan sitting in the hall, they were frightened and didn't dare to say more.

Hu Dugu scolded above: "You two thieves! Dare to collude with rebellion and plot against my back! What a wolf ambition, an unforgivable sin! ”

Xiao Wu and Ba Shi shouted in a row: "Adult, the little one has never been rebellious!" ”

Hu Dugu said angrily: "If you don't collude and rebel, where does the gold bead come from?!" ”

Xiao Wu opened his mouth and shouted: "That golden bead ......" Before he finished speaking, he had already been stabbed in the chest by Hu Dugu, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground. Ba Shi next to him turned around to escape, Hu Dugu followed with an arrow step, and stabbed Ba Shi in the back, Ba Shi turned his head and wanted to speak, but he didn't even have the strength to breathe, and slowly fell to the ground.

Hu Dugu waved his hand and motioned for his men to drag the people out. When the family wiped the blood on the ground, Hu Dugu also wiped his hands, and then said to Zhou Nan: "The discipline in the house is not strict, and I almost got into a big disaster." Fortunately, Zhou Yingying stopped him. Great kindness, Hu has nothing to repay. ”

Zhou Nan calmly watched Hu Dugu Lian's poisonous hands, killing these two subordinates, acting decisively and ruthlessly, and couldn't help but be wary. said: "I'm just a mountain and grass people, and I can't be a hero." Please call Leader Hu by name. ”

Hu Dugu said: "Hu is a few years older than Zhou Yingying, so it's better to be called Brother Zhou." I don't know how Brother Zhou got to Hongyan Restaurant? Could it be that he already knew that the princess lived in the restaurant? ”

Zhou Nan replied: "I really don't know that the princess lives in the restaurant, but my partner used to know the owner of the restaurant, so the last time I sold wine was to go to Hongyan Restaurant." This time, it is still selling wine to Hongyan Restaurant. If it weren't for the two thieves who broke in in the middle of the night and alarmed me and a few others, they wouldn't have known that the princess was in the restaurant. ”

After Hu Dugu heard Zhou Nan finish speaking, he only lamented the bad luck in his heart, but he didn't tell himself that he took two guards, saying that outsiders lived in the restaurant tonight.

Zhou Nan saw that Hu Dugu was silent, so he asked: "Since Boss Hu is the head of the guards in the princess's mansion and knows the whereabouts of the princess, why don't you send someone to protect the princess?" And let them live outside? ”

Hu Dugu hurriedly said: "Since the princess does not return to the house, she intends to do so, and I, as a subordinate, dare not disturb it." It's just that a few guards have been sent to wait day and night, and if they are sent too much, they are afraid of being discovered. ”

Zhou Nan got straight to the point and asked: "Leader Hu is also a Shuangli person, I heard that those two thieves once asked the princess for a seal letter, but I don't know if this princess seal letter is priceless?" What is it for? ”

Hu Dugu replied nonchalantly: "This princess seal is a symbol of the princess's status, and it is a thing that shows her identity, although it is carved from gold and jade, it is not priceless." Usually you don't need it. ”

Zhou Nan looked at Hu Dugu's eyes, but he was not flustered, so he asked again: "What is the use of Pu Da and Yu Jingu coming?" ”

Hu Dugu was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect Zhou Nan to know about Yu Jingu and Pu Da, but Xiao Wu and Ba Shi would never know about Pu Da and Yu Jingu, thinking of this, Hu Dugu said with a sad and indignant face: "Brother Zhou said this, do you suspect that I, Hu Dugu, instructed my subordinates to rob the princess's seal?!" ”

Hu Dugu stood up excitedly and said: "I, Hu Dugu, protected the princess when I was born in the world, and when I die, I will go down to protect the eldest prince, and I will never do anything to murder the princess in this life!" ”

"That Aunt Yu is the uncle-in-law of the princess, and Yelu Yu is the subordinate of Yelu Yu Jian. Although Yelu Yujian is the elder of the princess's in-laws, he actually took refuge in the Jin people, brutalized the people of Daliao, and seized my city, he is a sinner of Daliao! ”

Only then did Zhou Nan know that Yu Jingu was Yelu Yu Jian, the township party who led the way for the Jin people, if it weren't for him, the historical Wanyan Aguda would not have made up his mind to destroy Liao so early. This Yelu Yu Jian belongs to the same kind of people as Guo Yaoshi when the Jin people destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Nan has no good impression of these two people at all, but Guo Yaoshi is the Northern Song Dynasty who led the Jin people to destroy them, and in comparison, Zhou Nan hates Guo Yaoshi more.

"When I sent people around to look for the whereabouts of the princess, I met Yelu Yujianjun's men in the mountains north of Yanjing. I thought that I wanted to gather people in the name of Yelu Yujian, so I pretended to obey Yelu Yujian. ”

Hu Dugu calmed down a little, and said to Zhou Nan sincerely: "Brother Zhou, let me tell you the truth, I had secretly gone to see the princess and persuaded her to stand up to avenge the lord and the eldest prince, and kill the traitor who falsely accused the lord and the princess. But the princess seemed disheartened and refused to come forward. I was anxious for a while, I wanted to get the princess's seal, come forward on behalf of the princess, gather people, kill traitorous ministers, avenge the lord mother and the prince, and then call on me to be a righteous man of Daliao, drive away the Jin people, and recover Daliao! ”
