Old Wu Hu Guimeng sent someone to secretly follow the assassin last night, found his whereabouts, and immediately arrested him.

Of course, Hu Guiyang refused to miss such an opportunity, "Is this going?" ”

"In half an hour, you get ready, and I'll call you later. It's our brothers, there are no outsiders. Hu Guijian specially admonished, then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Hu Guiyang had nothing to prepare, so he carried the sticker and the wooden plate with him, found a waist knife in his hand, returned to the front hall, saw that the eunuch Yun Dan was still there, and said, "There is nothing to do today, when can I interrogate Li Zilong?" ”

"The day after tomorrow, it will be more troublesome to take Li Zilong out of the palace, and you need to arrange it."

"Very good, keep me informed when there is news."

"Okay." Yun Dan still had no intention of saying goodbye.

"Are you okay?"

Yun Dan hesitated for a moment, "Last night's assassin really mentioned the Sacrifice God Peak?" ”

"A lot of people heard it. What else do you know? We're in the same boat now, and we'd better be honest with each other. ”

"That's right, speaking of the Sacrifice God Peak, I remembered some rumors from many years ago, and I didn't take it seriously at the time."

Hu Guiyang sat down, "Rumors of Broken Tengxia Gorge? ”

"Yes, at that time, the army besieged Broken Teng Gorge, and it was rumored in the army that the reason why the traitors dared to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers was because they were about to invite heavenly soldiers and generals, or to attract thunder and fire, so the officers and soldiers were also transferred from all over the country to a large number of monks and Taoists to work together to suppress the arrogance of the thieves and protect the safety of the officers and soldiers."

Hu Guiyang couldn't help but smile.

Yun Dan said: "Of course, this matter can be explained no matter how you do, your father-in-law should be a farce, but no matter what, after the monk and Taoist did the Dharma for a few days, the officers and soldiers were terrified, so they broke through the thief camp in one go." ”

Hu Guiyang put away his smile, "It's fairer that the heavenly soldiers and generals don't help each other." ”

"The traitor didn't think so, it is said that the thief leader was very angry, and in a fit of rage killed a large number of mages, and after the officers and soldiers broke through the Broken Teng Gorge, they killed a group of others, and only captured less than ten people alive, and later they were all beheaded for public display. Before these mages were executed, I was involved in interrogation. ”

Yun Dan paused for a moment, trying to recall the details of the year, "Everyone else confessed honestly and begged for forgiveness, except for one mage, who was very arrogant and refused to give in after being tortured, instead claiming that the evil sacrifice had not failed, but only a little later, and that it would take effect sooner or later. In short, he said a lot of rebellious things, but who would take them seriously? Kill him altogether, and in retrospect, the Assassin's words from last night were somewhat similar to those of the mage. ”

"What's the mage's name?"

"He was Han Chinese, his surname should be Wen, and I can't remember what his name was, he was just one of many captives at the time. Maybe I thought too much, the assassin probably just wanted to protect the demon fox, so he came to assassinate Lord Hu, and when he heard that Lord Hu was from Broken Teng Gorge, he talked nonsense, anyway, it was almost the same. ”

Hu Guiyang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Thank you for the memory, to be honest, I didn't expect you to be so honest." ”

"Because I really want to find out the demon fox and find out if he is a human or a demon."

"Haven't you always been convinced that he's a demon?"

"I'm sure it's the Lingji Palace, but the Taoist priests ...... Alas, remember the piece of jade I said? ”

"The green jade that becomes hot when it encounters demons?"

"Yes, I went to Lingji Palace again yesterday, and the Taoist priests finally told the truth."

"Did they do anything with jade?"

Yun Dan's face was pale, and he was obviously very angry, "They apply potions to the jade in advance, as long as they rub it with their hands often, they will get hot after a long time, and after they are polished, they will return to normal, and when Wang Changgong saw Lord Hu that day, he happened to have a fever." ”

"The Taoist priests also said that the evil jade is often feverish now."

"Lingji Palace was afraid that the explanation would not be clear, so he simply applied more medicine, and then claimed that the magic weapon was out of order. Alas, for so many years, I have believed in the Reiji Palace, and it turns out that everything is fake. ”

For Yun Dan, the most serious blow was the demon hunt that night, and the demon fox that was said to have nothing to do with Hu Guiyang had nothing to do with Hu Guiyang, and the Taoist priests fled in embarrassment, which disappointed him.

"So you don't believe in ghosts and gods now?"

Yun Dan showed a hint of surprise, "Of course I believe it, and I am more determined than before, but I no longer believe in Lingji Palace." There must be ghosts and gods in the world, otherwise, how to explain Lord Hu's adventures these days? ”

"Me?"

"The thunder and white light that night were seen with my own eyes, and I thought that Master Hu would definitely die, but you are still alive. And last night's assassin, who has ever seen a thin line that can manipulate people? Who can still live after the control? ”

The old eunuch looked at Hu Guiyang's eyes with a few more flashes, like reverence and greed.

Hu Guiyang was stared at in the heart, "Don't look at me like this, as if I am ...... Precious medicinal herbs. ”

"How so? Heaven and earth are like a furnace, some people make medicine, some people use medicine, Master Hu has got rid of the identity of 'medicine', and he is a noble man of medicine. ”

"You said that you no longer believe in Lingji Palace, and the tone of your voice is still the same as theirs."

"This group of Taoist priests in Lingji Palace is not good, but the scriptures they inherited are still reasonable. Master Hu, if I'm not mistaken, you are at least a half-immortal body, but you haven't woken up yet, once you are thoroughly enlightened by the masters, you will definitely have some achievements. ”

Hu Guiyang stood up and looked Yun Dan up and down, "I just said that you were honest, but you are a little scared of me now." ”

"I only have a heart to seek immortals, and nothing else."

"It's just that your 'Immortal Heart' is a bit scary. Go back, hurry up and bring Li Zilong out. Hu Guiyang accentuated his tone slightly, Yun Dan was not annoyed, but showed a hint of joy, retreated, and straightened up until he went out of the door.

"No wonder emperors like eunuchs." Hu Guiyang had to admit that although he still didn't trust Yun Dan at all, the groveling and reverent eyes of the old eunuch did make him relax his vigilance a little.

Thirteen Lang Hu Guijian didn't come, and someone else probed his brain at the door.

"Come in if there's something." Hu Guiyang shouted.

A few people outside pushed each other, and finally Li Bandu, the nurse, came in alone, and after giving a salute, he said, "Is Lord Hu free?" There is one thing...... This one...... To speak. ”

"It's the nurse, isn't it? I'm really sorry, I almost forgot, he has a family, and I will pay for the resettlement costs. ”

"Xiao Zhang Fei is alone, and he has no relatives in the capital. And since you are in the nursing home industry, how can you not have three long and two short? What happened last night counts his fate, and a proper burial is enough. We...... There is something else. ”

"Please."

Li Bandu glanced back, and Hu Guiyang also saw that the people hiding outside were not only the nurses, but also the newly recruited servants such as cooks.

"We want to quit." Li Bandu finally spoke.

"Is it because the wages are low?"

"It has nothing to do with wages, and we don't want money for these two days. It's just that...... It's just ......" Li Bandu was embarrassed to say again.

Someone outside said for him: "We can only wait for the living, and we can't deal with demons and monsters." ”

Hu Guiyang understood, and said with a smile: "I see, okay, I don't force it, this month's salary will be calculated, I will go out later, and I will send it to you when I come back." ”

Li Bandu hurriedly waved his hand, "We haven't been here for a few days in total......"

Another voice came from outside the door, "If it's a reward from an adult, we're disrespectful." ”

"Yes, it's a reward, you wait for me...... I'll be back before dark. ”

Li Bandu didn't want to refuse again, and beckoned to the people outside, "In that case, why don't you come in and thank the master for his kindness?" ”

More than a dozen people came in one after another, saluted and thanked Hu Guiyang, and then withdrew one by one, Li Bandu stayed, and explained a few more words, "Lord Hu, it's really not that we don't want to stay, it's really ...... There are too many strange things, and it is useless for us to stay, just like last night, we didn't work at all, we couldn't even give a warning in advance, and we just wasted silver taels and food. ”

Hu Guiyang hugged his fists and said: "At the critical moment, you didn't leave, which shows righteousness, I hope I can recruit you to be a nursing home again in the future." ”

Li Bandu didn't dare to give an affirmative answer, but just blindly thanked.

Sending Li Bandu out of the front hall, Hu Guiyang sat alone for a while, and said to himself: "It's really fast, I'm lonely again, no, there are two people in the backyard, let's see how long they can last." ”

As soon as the word "persistence" was mentioned, Hu Guiyang immediately thought of Third Sister He, and always felt that he must have been very familiar with her back then, "Have we ever set a baby kiss?" ”

Hu Gui, the thirteenth lang, came and said at the door: "Let's go, don't bring a knife." ”

The fifth elder Hu Guimeng personally went out and did not lead too many people, only the thirteenth Lang Hu Guijian, the sixteenth Lang Hu Guiqi with the highest martial arts, the thirty-sixth Lang Hu Guiyang and the thirty-ninth Lang Hu Guida.

Hu Guida had already defected to his eldest brother Hu Guishen, who was both surprised and nervous about being chosen, and rode on the horse without saying a word, and did not say hello when he saw the third and sixth brothers.

The five of them got on their horses separately, and Hu Gui said fiercely: "Follow tightly, you are not allowed to do it without my order." ”

Although Hu Guiyang is the investigator appointed by the emperor, he is no different from other brothers at this time, and he should be the same as him.

Hu Gui took the lead, and the five of them rode out of the Guanyin Temple Hutong, turned south, all the way out of Chongwenmen, and soon turned to Shenmuchang Street.

Hu Guiyang recognized this passage and guessed that they were going to the Fire Temple.

Sure enough, Hu Guimeng stopped at the gate of the Fire Temple and jumped off his horse.

A beggar ran to the door and took the reins.

Hu Guimeng glanced around and asked, "The people have arrived?" ”

The beggar replied, "When you arrive, just wait for the adults to show me." ”

The horses were all bolted, the beggars took the lead, and the five righteous sons of the Zhao family walked into the fire temple and went around to the back.

There were no people in the temple, but there were more than a dozen people, and Hu Guiyang recognized these people at a glance as officers and soldiers in disguise.

"Ready?" Hu Guimeng asked.

One person stepped forward, "Everything is in order, the thief is still in the underground secret room and has not come out." ”

"No other exit?"

"The chamber is small, with only one exit."

"Okay." Hu Guimeng faced more than a dozen officers and soldiers, "This thief is extraordinary, especially good at light skills, don't take it lightly." ”

"Yes." The officers and soldiers replied softly.

Hu Guimeng waited for a while, "Set up a magic spear." ”

The three officers and men opened the long baggage they carried with them and took out their weapons from it.

Hu Guiyang knew that this thing was a bird gun, also known as a magic spear, which was used exclusively by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and it was really unexpected that the fifth brother could even mobilize such an artifact.

"Fifth brother has the ability." Hu Guiyang secretly praised in his heart, and at the same time wondered, the Fire God Temple had just been inspected by officers and soldiers a few days ago, how could the nameless assassin hide here?
