Chapter 429: Talking
The remaining houses of Zhao's house are almost all occupied by the West Factory, and Wang Zhi promised that the repair of a few broken houses would start tomorrow, not to repay the owners of the place, but to stuff more guns.
Hu Guiyang could only go to the East Cross Courtyard for the night.
Roche opened the door, "What's going on outside?" ”
"The heads of the two factories are fighting for turf."
"Isn't this your home?"
"My family is not up to me, you and the palace maid can come out......"
"We don't care." Luo Che let Hu Guiyang in, closed the door casually, and blocked out the shouting.
"I've been brought here, and I haven't eaten yet."
Luo looked at Hu Guiyang coldly, and said for a while, "You live in that room tonight." ”
"You won't be suspicious of outsiders, will you?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile, the so-called "outsider" is only He Sanchen.
Roche ignored him and said to himself, "No matter what you hear tonight, you are not allowed to come out, sleep steadily, understand?" ”
"Why are you talking about this? I like to sleep, and I sleep to death, but as soon as you say that there will be sounds outside, I am curious, and I guess I can't sleep well. ”
"I heard that you defeated Xiao Tan."
"Well, how did the news get here from the front yard? Is it the back door? ”
"How do you think your skills are better than me and Bee Niang?"
"You want to compete with me, too?" Hu Guiyang turned his head to look, the bee girl was playing with the flatbread, the dog didn't know when he came running, he recognized the bee girl, and he flattered him vigorously, refusing to even run over when the owner arrived.
"So that you can understand who is in charge of this courtyard."
Hu Guiyang laughed, "What else do I say, when will the last piece of land in the Zhao Mansion be lost?" It turned out that it was long gone in my hands. There is no need to test the strength or weakness, this place is up to you, I just need a place to sleep. ”
Hu Guiyang entered another room and sat in a daze.
Roche knocked on the door and brought some food and drink, which was still hot.
"Ding Gongnu said, please forgive Captain Hu for Luo's rudeness, no matter what, this courtyard belongs to Captain Hu, we just borrowed it, thank you very much for Captain Hu's generosity." Roche put down the food and said flatly, his eyes deliberately averted.
"Hehe, please tell the palace maid Ding, I forgive Roche, and thank you for the hospitality."
Roche turned around and left, not wanting to say a word.
Hu Guiyang was full, thinking about it, he put the cups and plates like this, and said it tomorrow morning, Luo knocked on the door again, brought water, and cleaned up the table.
Although he knew that Luo was born as a servant girl and saw her skillfully doing things with his own eyes, Hu Guiyang was still a little surprised, "Why did the palace maid let you bow your head?" What benefits do you get from the whole plan? ”
Luo's expression was still cold, and he pointed to the basin and said, "Wash your face, I'll take it later." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled, washed carefully, and it didn't take long for Luo to come over to bring water, and this time she asked, "You are very proud of receiving so much attention, right?" ”
"Am I being taken seriously?"
"The two factories and the East Palace will take you seriously, no matter how much trouble you cause or how important people you offend, someone will come forward to deal with you, otherwise, you have died many times."
"Listen to you, it's really like this, this shows that the imperial court is very talented, and it has not given up on me, a lost captain."
Luo snorted, "It has nothing to do with Chongcai, it's all because of He Sanchen." It was she who handed over the jade to you for safekeeping, and it was she who said that she was going to come to the capital to take the jade from you, so everyone will endure your incompetence, rudeness and shamelessness. ”
"And fearlessness, selflessness, and unhinderedness." Hu Guiyang is thick-skinned enough, so he doesn't take it seriously, but boasts.
"But all this is coming to an end, without He Sanchen and Shenyu, you are nothing."
"Maybe I'll leave when the time comes, and follow the He sisters and brothers to the rivers and lakes, at least I can be a fugitive." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
A smile finally appeared on Roche's face, "You can't escape." ”
Luo turned to leave, but Hu Guiyang stopped her, "Please wait, I still haven't said a word." ”
"Do I have to listen?"
"It doesn't hurt to hear it. If that's what you want, I'm always ready to give it to you. ”
Luo turned around and saw the jade pendant in Hu Guiyang's hand, his face changed slightly, "Why are you so generous?" ”
"Because it's not a divine jade, it's not even the only one, Ding Gongnu also has one, how often does she let you and the bee girl use it?"
Roche's face changed again, "Which mouthy guy told you this?" ”
"You." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
"Me?"
"You claim to be stronger than me, and you obey the words of the Ding palace maid, and you can't say what you need for the divine jade, so the Ding palace maid must also have a jade pendant similar to this, and lend it to you and the bee girl from time to time, so that you can be obedient. How many more jade pendants are the same? They are all separated from the divine power of Xiao Killing Bear, stimulating the power of mortals, and they look like divine jade, but there must be other drawbacks. ”
Roche held the basin of water and did not squeak.
Hu Guiyang smiled again, "Look, this is 'no obstacle', don't be confused, and guess the truth directly." I am willing to give you the jade pendant, this is called selflessness. I am not afraid of the opposition of others, which is called fearlessness. Together, the three are the talents that the imperial court values. ”
Luo also smiled, she is usually serious, as long as she is willing, she can still show very charming, "You are not afraid, I am afraid, you can keep the jade pendant for yourself." ”
Luo Shi left, Hu Guiyang looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and muttered: "It's really interesting, except for Xiao Killing Bear, no one wants to have it." ”
At night around the third watch, Hu Guiyang was really awakened by a sound.
The sound was right next door, like some kind of beast snoring in the sun after it had eaten its fill, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
"Petite people snore like that?" Hu Guiyang asked himself in a low voice, and then laughed at it, this is obviously Luo Shi and Bee Niang are practicing, and they are following a certain exercise, unlike Hu Guiyang, who has no other way to practice except to wear the jade on his body.
The sound continued, so noisy that Hu Guiyang couldn't sleep, so he simply took out the jade pendant and played with it in the dark.
This jade pendant is the bait, used to lure Hu Guiyang and He Sanchen, Huai'en's plan is gradually clear, the layout of the two factories and the East Palace is becoming more and more obvious, and even the sudden appearance of Xiao Killing Xiong has a reasonable explanation, he and a group of strangers came to grab the jade, just to send a message to He Sanchen: The divine jade is still in Hu Guiyang's hands.
"I should do something." Hu Guiyang muttered to himself, he couldn't think of anything else he could do except throw away the jade pendant.
But he didn't want to give up the jade, one was reluctant, and the other was afraid of death, Luo was right, Hu Guiyang was so useful, once he lost the jade pendant, he couldn't attract He Sanchen, he would immediately become a completely useless person.
"She must have a plan, too." Hu Guiyang pinned his hopes on He Sanjie'er.
Slowly getting used to the sound next door, Hu Guiyang fell asleep again, half-asleep and half-awake, and was awakened again, this time it was a scream, and it was a familiar scream.
"Hu Guiyang! Hu Guiyang! Hurry up and come out! ”
Hu Guiyang put on his clothes and boots, walked to the door and pulled the door, and found that the outside was locked, and it turned out that Luo was still not at ease.
The shouting was near and far away, and the man obviously didn't know where Hu Guiyang lived, so he shouted everywhere.
The two factories stationed a large number of masters in Zhao's house, but no one came forward to stop them.
After a long while, the screaming finally stopped.
Hu Guiyang raised his hand and knocked on the wall, and soon, Luo's voice came from outside, "I said it earlier, let you sleep steadily." ”
"It's snoring again, it's calling people, how do you sleep? And the man was calling my name. ”
"Don't worry about it, the Wen family will send it for you."
"Who's coming? It sounds a little familiar, it's Xiao Killing's helper again, right? ”
"I said it earlier......"
Hu Guiyang pushed his arms hard, the door lock broke, he walked out of the room, and said with a smile: "I only remember what you said, 'The two factories and the East Palace take you seriously', so guess what?" I also take myself seriously. ”
Roche laughed and turned to walk away.
"Take care of your own business." Hu Guiyang walked to the gate of the courtyard, removed the latch, and looked out of the hospital, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a figure in the open space at the other end.
There are really two people fighting, one is silent, with fluttering sleeves, and fights the enemy with heavenly skills, and the other is dressed in white and holding two swords, although they can't attack the enemy's side, but they are also fighting equally.
There were people in almost every room in Zhao's house, but none of them came out at this time, Hu Guiyang watched the battle alone, and couldn't help but sigh after watching it for a while, "This is the real competition, Xiao Tan and I are just fighting." ”
The area where the two fought was quite vast, Hu Guiyang could only stand from a distance and watch, and finally when the man in white approached, Hu Guiyang saw his face clearly, and said in surprise: "Li Xingtian!" Why don't you read poetry? ”
"Hu Guiyang, you are looking for someone to compete, why did you let the Wen family stand up for you?"
"I didn't let me, I didn't say anything, I ordered you to stop as the sect leader."
Wen Bu silently withdrew his two flying swords, retreated to Hu Guiyang's side, and said, "The sect leader is not his opponent. ”
"That's my business."
Wen Buyu smiled, and arched his hand: "The sect leader is at his own convenience, if you need help, just shout." "Say goodbye and leave, leaving the sect leader to the challenger.
"What kind of sect leader are you?" Li Xingtian stepped forward and asked.
"The Lord of Sleep, or 'Lord of Sleep' for short." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Li Xingtian frowned slightly, "Are you kidding me?" ”
"A joke between friends."
"Friends? Who is your friend? Li Xingtian showed an angry face.
"Aren't you Li Xingtian?"
"My name is Li Ou, and Li Xingtian is my former ...... Messy names. ”
"Leo?" Hu Guiyang was surprised, "Why? Is the name Li Xingtian bad? ”
"A mortal, how dare he 'punish the sky'? It's better to use your real name. ”
"So you don't read poetry anymore?"
"The power of God has made me arrogant, and I should have corrected it a long time ago."
Hu Guiyang sighed, "Most of the Inhumans are hateful, but you are the only one who is more interesting, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”
"Interesting?" Leo was a little annoyed, "When I was an alien, I killed and injured countless people, including my relatives, and my sins have not yet been atoned for, and you actually said that I was 'funny' at that time?" ”
Hu Guiyang arched his hand and said: "I'm sorry, it's me talking nonsense, if you still remember me, you should know that my mouth always makes mistakes." ”
"I remember you, I don't care about your mouth, hand over the divine jade."
"Wait, since you regret what you did when you were a stranger, why do you need Shenyu."
Leo was silent for a moment, "Regret is regret, Inhuman is Inhuman, two different things, if you have the opportunity to become Inhuman again, I will control the divine power and will not let it manipulate me." ”
"Then I will take back what I just said, and I won't apologize, it's still more interesting to have that poetic Li Xingtian."
Li Ou snorted, "You said, who is more powerful than you, who can take the divine jade?" ”
"Xiao Killing Bear invited you here?"
"That's right."
"My promise only works for him and the helpers he has hired. Okay, let's fight, but you have a sword, I'm barehanded. ”
Leo put his sword into its sheath and put it on the ground, "Okay?" ”
"Yes." Hu Guiyang didn't talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, as soon as his voice fell, the person had already rushed over, he knew that he was far weaker than the other party in terms of tricks, so he had to get close to the grappling.
Leo didn't dodge, he also rushed over, the two of them crossed arms, and Leo suddenly whispered: "The He family asked me to bring a word: get ready." ”
"Prepare what?" Hu Guiyang was confused.
