(Ask for collection and recommendation)
He Million came from a distance, and Third Sister He put away the receiver, "Distance is certainly a weakness of the Heavenly Machine, but it is fleeting, you must strike first to have a chance of winning." ”
"Understood."
Third Sister He has to say that He Million has already arrived, "Master Hu, I'm afraid you have to go." ”
"Good. Am I alone? Hu Guiyang was a little surprised and glanced at Third Sister He.
"Yuan Mao sent someone to come, saying that he could only take you alone. Rest assured, the two siblings will be safe if they stay here. ”
Hu Guiyang had nothing to say, nodded, glanced at Third Sister He again, and then smiled at He Wumad: "Okay, you can occupy a room by yourself, and I don't have to listen to you in my dreams." ”
He Wu covered his mouth, "I'm talking in my dreams again?" ”
He Million led the way, Hu Guiyang followed, and the two walked quickly to the exit of the garden, and Third Sister He watched without saying a word.
He Million came back soon and explained to his daughter: "I can really only take him alone, Yuan Mao must have contacted Wang Zhi on his side, although Hu Gongzi is risky, it may not be a dead end." ”
"Anyway, you know very well, without him, I won't help you deal with the Wen family." Third Sister He said coldly.
He Million smiled a little stiffly, "Of course, but there are some things that I can't control...... Okay, I'll find a way, no matter what, let's save Hu Gongzi's life first. ”
He Million left again.
He Wu Madman looked at his father's background and asked curiously, "Third sister, do you owe Hu Guiyang money?" I'll pay it back for you, and I can pay it back as much as I want. ”
Third Sister He smiled slightly, "What I owe is a favor, and no matter how much gold and silver I have, I can't pay it back." Fifth brother, if you really think about your sister, you will protect Hu Gongzi in the future and help me repay this favor. ”
"Wait for him to come back, this kid's life is not good, he will encounter bad luck wherever he goes, this may be the last time."
Third Sister He'er's smile was also a little stiff.
Hu Guiyang changed into the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, and stood alone in a spacious living room, a little embarrassed, and a little funny, but fortunately, after waiting for a while, a small group of officers and soldiers walked in directly, looked around, turned around and left, and the leading officer turned his head and said, "What are you waiting for?" It's okay here, let's go back and get back to life. ”
Hu Guiyang hurriedly followed, and the three soldiers at the end of the line slowed down and let him in the middle.
There were many more officers and soldiers outside, and soon they gathered together, about fifty or sixty people, politely bidding farewell to the stewards, and the military discipline was strict, and no one dared to walk around, move around, or look around.
The officers and soldiers left the house from the corner gate and hurriedly walked down the alley, and someone whispered: "Xiangye's mansion is so magnificent, stepping on a piece of grass in his house seems to be dying." ”
"Hey, if you step on it, it's really ......"
"Shut up." Someone in front of him snapped.
Hu Guiyang turned his head and took a look, it turned out that he had spent the night in the home of the university scholar Shang Chen, who was the first assistant, although he had no position, ordinary people regarded him as the prime minister, and called his mansion "Xiangye's Mansion".
The officers and soldiers continued to search in Dongcheng, but the squad with Hu Guiyang zigzagged all the way north, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road except for the officers and soldiers coming and going.
After walking a few streets, Hu Guiyang began to feel familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was the direction to Dongchang, and couldn't help but be startled, shook the knife on his waist, and touched the cigarette rain box in his sleeve, it can be used twice.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not turn to Dongchang Hutong, but continued to go north, directly to the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division, here, the officer went to the lobby to reply, and soon came back, only taking Hu Guiyang out alone, did not go far, entered a very wide courtyard through the small door.
"You're guarding the pasture here, and you're not allowed to walk around, understand?" The officer's tone was very stern, and he pointed to a lonely hut next to him, "This is where you live." ”
Before Hu Guiyang could speak, the officer had already turned around and left.
The grassland was very large, and there were more rooms in the distance, Hu Guiyang knew that this was not a play, so he obediently entered the hut, stood for a while, and sighed heavily.
The house was small and low, and I reached out to touch the beams, and there was a small window, which was almost impermeable, and the house was as black as a cave, and the floor of the house under my feet was unadorned, and there seemed to be water in some places, and under the window lay a kang with some hay and a roll of bedding.
"You really should let He Wu madman follow." Hu Guiyang whispered, "Let him know that there are even more broken houses in this world." ”
Hu Guiyang took off the knife and the heavy armor, sat on the kang, and suddenly saw a gourd hanging on the opposite wall, hurriedly got up and took it down, shook it, pulled out the lid, approached his nose and sniffed it, and immediately smiled on his face - there was wine in it.
Taking a sip of it, Hu Guiyang frowned, "Is this wine or urine?" Or both? ”
After waiting for a while, Hu Guiyang poured another sip, this time swallowing slowly, and finally smacked a little bit of wine.
There was no food, Hu Guiyang drank a small half gourd of bad wine, but he didn't expect the wine to be quite strong, and it didn't take long for him to feel dizzy and swollen, and he didn't care whether the soil kang was clean or not, so he poured on it and wanted to take a nap, but he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Drinking and making mistakes...... Hu Guiyang still remembers He Million's reminder.
He was awakened from hunger, licking his lips and feeling that the hay around him seemed a little coveted.
"Breakfast really should have been a little more." Hu Guiyang grabbed the gourd, it was already empty, pushed the door and walked outside, it was pitch black, the whole grassland was noisy, there was no one in sight, and I didn't know where to find food.
Hu Guiyang was really worried that he would starve to death here, so he had to go back to the house again, memorized the fire magic recipe for a while, and his stomach was even hungrier, and he wondered in his heart, what is the use of the fire god recipe in addition to exercising his tongue? It is said that it is internal strength, but it seems to have no effect.
But he had only practiced for a few days, and he had only learned the first short paragraph, so he was really not qualified to judge, so he read it for a while, and then he went to the kang and lay down, hoping to suppress hunger with sleepiness, but he just fell asleep, and he couldn't sleep at all, so he could only endure hunger, and he missed the breakfast that he didn't take seriously.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Hu Guiyang got up, grabbed the waist knife next to him, and asked, "Who?" ”
"Yuan Mao."
Hu Guiyang opened the door under the kang, still holding a knife in his hand.
Yuan Mao flashed into the house.
"Got something to eat?" Hu Guiyang asked.
"Bring it, there is ......"
Hu Guiyang took advantage of the moonlight to snatch the small package from Yuan Mao's hand, smelled the aroma before opening it, and took a deep breath, "The roast chicken of the Zuo family in white clothes?" ”
"Exactly."
Hu Guiyang threw away the knife, picked up the oiled paper, and first pulled a chicken leg and chewed it.
Yuan Mao closed the door, walked inside in the dark, and sat on the edge of the kang, "Eat slowly, I still have a pot of wine here." ”
"Don't." Hu Guiyang just wanted to fill his stomach at this time, he had never been so hungry.
After a while, most of the roast chicken was in his stomach, Hu Guiyang finally remembered Yuan Mao and handed it over, "You eat a little?" ”
"I've already eaten it."
Hu Guiyang was no longer polite, ate the whole roast chicken cleanly, and wiped his hands on his clothes, "There have been two or three times when I didn't eat before, but I wasn't so hungry." ”
"Hu Gongzi still has an appetite, which is a good thing."
Hu Guiyang sat on the other side of the kang, "Where is Wang Zhi?" ”
"He can't leave the palace."
"Then let me in."
Yuan Mao didn't speak, and in the dark, Hu Guiyang couldn't see his expression, "At this time, you still don't believe me?" ”
"I believe you didn't participate in framing Lord Yuan, but I need to know what you want to do next."
"You must know that thin old man named Tan Zhe of the Houtu Sect, right?"
"I've seen it once or twice."
"He said that the demon fox has already infiltrated the palace nine times out of ten, and I believe his guess, so he decided to enter the palace to arrest the real demon fox, and all problems will naturally be solved, and the grievances of your family will be cleared."
"How?" Yuan Mao asked.
"First of all, with Wang Zhi's assistance, he hasn't completely lost his position in the palace, right?"
"Not yet."
"It's best that way, he's not only willing to help, but he's capable of helping."
"And then?"
"And then? Naturally, it is to act at the opportunistic level, and take one step at a time. ”
"Sounds like you're not sure."
"Look, I've been forced to this point, I can't go back to my home, I can't go back to my brothers, I live in a small broken house that will collapse when the wind blows, I don't eat or drink, and a large group of people outside want to kill me, and you actually want me to 'grasp'?" Hu Guiyang sneered a few times, "Yuan Mao, if you want to get a 'grasp' for the adults of your family, go to my fifth brother Hu Guimeng, and if you have the ability, you will go to see the children of the Wen clan, and you will have more ability, directly find Gu Zhongxian, beg him for mercy, and beg to join them, because the 'grasp' is in their hands." ”
Yuan Mao was silent for a while, "I don't need to be completely sure, I just hope that my choice won't cause trouble for Lord Yuan." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, now the trouble is on me alone, whether it is dead or alive, I will not affect others. Send me to see Wang Zhi, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you and Lord Yuan. ”
"Anyway, I still hope to help you more, only if you can do it, you just ask."
"There's really one thing."
"Please."
"If I die in the palace and my brothers are only interested in killing each other, I ask you to do me a favor and recover my father's body and bury him."
Yuan Mao was stunned for a moment, "Okay, this is helping me." ”
"Nine times out of ten, the body is in Lingji Palace, I don't know if they took it away and burned it, or if they were medicated, in short, how much is left, the coffin and cemetery are ready-made."
"Understood."
"My father-in-law doesn't believe that there is a spirit after death, and I don't believe it either, I just don't want the veterans of Lingji Palace to be too proud, they are a group of liars, and they are not as good as the immortals in the valley."
Yuan Mao laughed.
"Since you have a friendship with the Five Elements Sect, persuade them to join forces with Nanjing Extraordinary Dao, this is their only way out, prepare more bows and crossbows, strike first, this is their best choice to defeat the Wen family's masters."
"Okay." Yuan Mao's answer was still succinct.
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Hu Guiyang asked suddenly.
Yuan Mao thought for a while before replying: "I believe it, but I also believe that most of the so-called ghosts and gods in this world are liars, such as the demon fox, and what you and your stepfather have done is immeasurable." ”
"Well, then pray for me in front of the gods you believe in."
