Hu Guiyang opened his eyes and found that his hands and feet were tied, lying on a pile of weeds, all around him was pitch black, and there was a strange leaf in the air, which felt like a stable.

Footsteps were heard, a light appeared outside, and there was the sound of talking.

"Are you really coming?"

"If you don't come, it's really fake?"

"He's a brocade guard!"

"There are a lot of Jinyi guards, not everyone can fly, not to mention that he was ......" The old monkey who spoke suddenly shut up, and immediately said: "Why did you wake up?" ”

Four people entered, all eunuchs, and the old monkey sat on a wooden chair, carried by two people, and a small stick with a lantern stood at the forefront.

Seeing that Hu Guiyang had already sat up and his eyes were open, the four eunuchs were very surprised.

"Untie the rope and I'll be able to sleep a little longer." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"Not enough drugs?" "He drank too little, didn't he?" The two men who carried the chairs asked each other.

The old monkey knocked on the armrest a few times, let the two put down their chairs, and said with dissatisfaction: "Observe words and colors, understand, you have to learn to observe words and colors, figure out the intentions, you can't let the master open every time, you are like this, entering the palace is to send death......"

A eunuch raised his leg and kicked on the chair, "There is no master like you in the palace, if you can really enter the palace, we will learn the rules, and we don't need you to teach us." ”

The old monkey said angrily: "Two rotten trees, who cares about you? Then he turned to Hu Guiyang and coughed twice, but did not speak.

"There's too much mud on your face, I can't see it, you just cough when you don't speak, I can't detect it, so, I'm sorry, I can't figure out what you mean." There was no apology in the smile on Hu Guiyang's face.

The two eunuchs who carried the chairs laughed uncontrollably, and the old monkey had to turn his anger on his son, "Stupid, they don't understand, and you don't understand either?" Come closer, shine a lantern on Hu Guiyang, what are we doing? ”

"You said it earlier." The little stick didn't regard his father as the "master", shook off a sentence stiffly, and then strode in front of Hu Guiyang, and raised the lantern, "Look, he still looks like this, the same as a few years ago, it is estimated that it will not change in a few years." ”

"Thanks to your good words, I can still be a few years younger." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

"Speak the same as before. Captain Hu, don't blame me, you kidnapped me once back then, and feng shui takes turns, so let's smooth it out this time. ”

"I don't blame you, but can you move the lantern a little bit?"

The little stick withdrew the lantern and said to his father, "You ask." ”

The old monkey's pretended majesty was all destroyed by his own people, so he had to re-brew, and waited for a while before saying, "Hu Guiyang, do you recognize me?" ”

"I recognize, I don't call the child Huazi, everyone calls you an old monkey, it's the father of this little stick, who once killed Huo Shuangdehuo, the manager of the West Factory. It's unreasonable that you can still get away with it. ”

"Hey, you know a lot, but haven't you heard of it? We have done great things, and all the things we have done before have been written off...... Why are you telling you this? Push me closer. Well, okay, put it down. Hu Guiyang, do you know how I killed Huo Shuangde? ”

"Huo Shuangdede? It's a good name, like a princess from a foreign country. ”

The two eunuchs who carried the chair laughed again, even the little stick, but the old monkey couldn't hold back, and became angry again, "These are the hands, I twisted his neck with both hands!" ”

The old monkey stretched out his arms, and Hu Guiyang rubbed back, keeping a few inches away from his long black nails, "See, although thin, it should be quite energetic, and it will be better to wash it frequently." ”

The other three eunuchs laughed constantly, and the old monkey was furious, and wanted to ask someone to carry him forward a distance, or drag Hu Guiyang over, but at this time he didn't speak, took out a short stick from behind him, and raised it high.

Hu Guiyang pressed his legs hard and rubbed back.

The stick had another goal, and the old monkey waved it, regardless of who it was, and hit one by one, "Let you laugh, make you laugh, a bunch of useless guys, good things have been stirred up like this by you!" ”

If you were really hit with a stick, you screamed "oops", and immediately avoided it, and the little stick ran faster, and it didn't hit each other for a while, "You drove me away, don't blame me if you can't shine on anyone." ”

Still feeling dangerous, the little stick put the lantern on the ground, turned around and ran away, "You judge it yourself!" ”

The chair-carrying eunuch also left, muttering but not daring to retaliate.

There was no companion to make trouble, and the old monkey's anger decreased slightly, "I'm sorry, let Captain Hu see such a scene, the more these guys get mixed up, the more indecent they become, and there is a reason why they have not been selected into the palace for a long time." ”

"What about you? Why didn't you enter the palace either? ”

"Because my legs ...... Because the ship has other arrangements for me, I have to be patient. ”

"The more patience you have, the more devoutly?"

"Yes, this is a test, many people have failed to pass, and have lost faith in the divine ship, but I am still persevering, wholeheartedly, without the slightest doubt."

"I wish you success and become a powerful eunuch of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Oops, what a pity. ”

"What a pity?"

"Your son has also been castrated, otherwise your power will be passed on from generation to generation."

A mockery made the old monkey laugh, "It's a pity, the little stick can adopt the righteous son and inherit the incense of our Hou family, which is a common practice in the palace." Ordinary people talk about filial piety every day, but if you look all over the capital, how many temples are there tablets for eunuchs? The incense is continuous, and someone is always taking care of it, who can compare? ”

Hu Guiyang was silent for a while, "It turns out that your surname is Hou." ”

"It doesn't matter." The old monkey raised the short stick again, "Don't talk nonsense, summon the whereabouts of the divine jade, spare you from death, if you still have a hard mouth, Huo Xiade's fate will be your result." ”

"Jiang Yun made such a move?"

"Why, do you think this trick doesn't work? Do you think Master Jiang is really afraid of you and admires you? It's just because you have a backer in the palace, and no one dares to touch you in the capital. But I'm not afraid, if I enter the palace, it will be when the world is turned upside down, and how much backing you have will fall when the time comes. Outsiders are all kidnapping, and your killing is just an accident, and it has nothing to do with Master Jiang. ”

"He sent me out of town, and many people know about it."

"That's right, there are many people who saw you talking to Chang Xiong, were invited by him and disappeared, and the government will go to track down Shen Qianyuan, which has nothing to do with us."

"Anyway, Jiang Yun doesn't like Shen Qianyuan, so get rid of it by the way."

"Yes, it's called killing two birds with one stone." The old monkey waved his short stick, a few inches away, but he didn't hit anyone, so he put his chair in one hand and tried to move forward.

Hu Guiyang moved back, but soon hit the wall, and there was no way back.

The old monkey swung his stick again, Hu Guiyang rolled sideways, and his shoulder was hit, but it was not heavy, his whole body was covered with weeds, his abdomen was strong, he sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Lord Jiang really likes to joke, I have to talk to him well after I go back." ”

"It's not a joke!" The old monkey swung his stick hard, but he could no longer reach the target, "A bunch of fools, can't they tie you to a pillar?" ”

"Maybe it's because 'Shangyi' isn't clear enough."

The old monkey also has a trick, the short stick flies out, and there is a "trump card".

Hu Guiyang avoided it a little slower, and his forehead was hit, so painful that he screamed strangely, and fell on the grass again, "What a vicious old guy." ”

"This is just the beginning, I still have hands, and your neck is better than Huo Shuangde......" The old monkey suddenly shut up.

Hu Guiyang lay on the ground and turned his head to look, it turned out that the short stick was bounced off, and it happened to hit the lantern, the paper was lit, and it burned quickly, and after a while, the flame weakened again.

"It's all hay here, I think it's going to be set on fire, and we're going to be burned here today." Hu Guiyang guessed.

The old monkey had already jumped to the ground and was about to walk close to Hu Guiyang with both hands, when he heard this, he immediately ran to the lantern.

But hands are hands after all, and they can't go too fast, and the flames gradually grow larger, and the hay around the lantern is really ignited.

"Faster, faster!" Hu Guiyang kept urging, "You better call someone for help." ”

The old monkey was flustered and immediately opened his mouth and shouted, "Someone! Little sticks! ”

Everyone hid far away, and no one answered.

As the fire grew, the old monkey suddenly turned around and dragged his body towards the door.

"Put out the fire first!" Hu Guiyang shouted.

"It's too late, I have to go, I don't want to die, I have a divine destiny on my ......" The old monkey crawled faster than usual in order to escape.

"What should I do?"

"I'll just say that you are a man, you would rather die than recruit, and Lord Jiang will not blame me."

"Jiang Yun wants a divine jade, not a corpse!"

"You won't confess anyway, so if you die, you'll die. Hu Guiyang, this is your life, the divine ship doesn't want you to live a bad thing, so borrow my hand, no, use this fire to get rid of you, it has nothing to do with others, you go by yourself......"

The old monkey finally crawled to the door, grabbed the door frame with both hands, and was about to get out of the house, and couldn't help but glance back.

It was dark in front of him, the fire had been extinguished, and he had been crawling desperately, and he hadn't even noticed it for a long time.

"Hu Guiyang?"

"Not dead." Hu Guiyang replied coldly.

"Fire ......"

"I crushed it with my body, and I burned it until I was ready to cook it through."

The old monkey let out a sigh, "That is, you are still useful to the Divine Ship, let's continue." ”

"Huh?"

"You have to find out the whereabouts of Shenyu, or I'll have to strangle you."

"I just saved your life."

"No, I can escape by myself, you just saved your own life, but your life is still in my hands." The old monkey turned around again and crawled towards the figure in the dark, his arms were strong, and he didn't feel tired at all, "Everything is fate, I have always felt that I should enter the palace to take charge of the east and west factories, don't care about anyone, even if it is iron teeth and copper teeth, I can ...... it."

There has been no sound on the other side.

"You're scared, aren't you? Hu Guiyang, don't be embarrassed, no one is afraid, Huo Shuangde was dying, crying and begging me for mercy, but it's useless, I won't be soft, I am a ruthless person by nature, it is estimated that this is what Shenchuan looks at, and wants me to be an executioner......"

The old monkey suddenly grabbed a foot, and it was a foot that was on the ground.

He slowly looked up and saw that his short rod was being held in someone else's hand.

"It was a good fire, it burned my skin and flesh, and two good ropes were burned."

The old monkey was startled, let go of his hand, turned around again and crawled towards the door, shouting hoarsely: "Come on, Hu Guiyang is going to run ......" He had a pain in his head and fainted.

Hu Guiyang burned all over his body, but he still held back his hatred, did not kill the old monkey, raised his hand and touched it, and found that his clothes were torn several holes, his skin was exposed, and the pain came from this, but fortunately, it was not too serious to the touch, "It's good that it is not burned." ”

Hu Guiyang carried a short stick out of the house, looked at it with the help of the moonlight, and found that this was a cemetery, several tombs in front of him, and the tomb guard behind him, farther away, the firelight jumped, it should be a place where eunuchs gathered.

He was about to find his way out when he heard a whistle, followed by the shaking of horses' hooves, and a group of men and horses rushed into the crowd of eunuchs and slaughtered indiscriminately.

"Who is it? Could it be that the government has come to save me? Hu Guiyang had no clue, but those whistles didn't look like officers and soldiers.
