Chapter 423: The Old Man

Hu Guiyang re-lit the candle, didn't lift the hijab, and smiled a little embarrassed on his face, "This...... Can't you? ”

"What not?"

"Remarry, or a side room...... If outsiders knew about it, I would lose my head, you ...... What punishment will you receive? ”

"Reprimanded, right?" The princess said flatly.

"Huh? What a difference! ”

"I'll be under house arrest somewhere in the palace, and I'll never be able to leave the house againβ€”and when I think about it, it's not much different from my old life. But all the preferential treatment in recent years will be abolished, and I will never see Your Majesty again, and no one will even dare to mention my name in front of Your Majesty. ”

"You're going to lose power." Hu Guiyang concluded.

"Well, not much, but if you've been trapped for years, you know how important this power is to me."

"Once the news leaks, I will definitely die, and I will not have a chance to be trapped." Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly.

"So, don't let the news leak out."

"I still don't understand......"

"You don't have to think about it, I just can't trust someone else to do it. I am the lady of the Ding Palace, and the 'princess' is sick and is recuperating at home, and there will be no movement for a few months. ”

"Is there really such a person as a palace maid?"

"Hmm."

Hu Guiyang scratched his head and said with a smile: "I really can't imagine that you were bullied by Mama Li a few years ago...... What about Mama Lee? ”

"I went home to retire."

"You're soft-hearted."

"If you have beautiful jade, why should you care about the soil that was stained on your clothes in the past?"

"Huh. How powerful are you now? What rank of minister is it equivalent to? ”

The princess sneered, "That's not how power counts. In short, His Majesty trusted me more and asked me to help the East Palace. ”

"If you find Shenyu and capture He Sanchen alive, Your Majesty's trust in you will increase even more."

"So you should understand that I am determined to achieve both."

"I know it's you, and I'll understand." Hu Guiyang sighed, "If you think about it carefully, although your actions are bold, they are also smart. Yuan Mao and Lao Dao don't recognize you, but Luo and Bee Niang know people who know you, but they can't say it, and no one believes it, I recognize your voice but don't dare to make a statement, and it is a capital crime to make a statement. What about the flower lady? Hasn't she seen the princess? ”

"She only has dealings with the cook in my house, and she has never seen me or heard my voice."

"I see. However, with only the two of Roche and Bee Niang, the princess wants to compete with Dongchang? ”

"I'm not a princess now, please keep this in mind Captain Hu."

"Ding...... Girl, the Wen family is all masters, and they are still inferior to a He Wu madman, Luo and Bee Niang practice martial arts halfway, I am afraid that even the Wen family will not be able to beat them. ”

"Are you worried?"

Hu Guiyang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not worried. ”

"Very good, then I will be wronged Captain Hu, after three nights, you can leave, but every three or five days, you must come here at least once for the night."

"I've been wandering in the mountains for a few months, and as long as I can keep out the wind and cold, I don't feel aggrieved. I can sleep on the table, so you can rest early. ”

The princess snorted, Hu Guiyang blew out the candle again, the princess did not lift her head, lay down on her side, and covered the quilt with a stumbling face.

Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while, lying on the table, his head resting on his arms, he couldn't sleep, and he couldn't help but think that the princess might have other ideas when she came to Zhao's house, maybe not just to complete the task, maybe she wouldn't refuse to sleep on the bed too......

thought a lot of "maybe", but Hu Guiyang didn't do anything, fell asleep, talked to the princess in his dream, and suddenly woke up, forgetting what he said in the dream.

The sky outside was faintly bright, the charcoal tray in the house had been extinguished, and the slightest cold wind swept the tip of the nose, which was quite comfortable.

Hu Guiyang looked at the bed, the princess was still asleep, and rushed in sideways, and the hijab had been removed, revealing a head of black hair.

After all this time, he still only recognized the princess's voice.

Hu Guiyang stood up, took a step in the direction of the bed, immediately turned around, and tiptoed out of the house.

Luo and Bee Niang got up earlier and were practicing in the yard, and when they saw Hu Guiyang, they immediately closed their momentum.

"You shouldn't have gotten up so early on your wedding night." Roche smiled.

Hu Guiyang patted his stomach and said softly: "I drank too much wine last night." ”

Luo Shi got out of the way, Hu Guiyang walked to the gate of the courtyard, turned his head and said, "Before you became an alien, you never thought that you would be interested in martial arts. ”

"I hadn't thought about a lot of things until then."

Hu Guiyang nodded, "But you used to be an alien, and your skills are outstanding, can you still look at the exercises of mortals?" ”

"Who said I'm weaker now than I'm inhuman?"

"I guess." Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "It's just a random guess, you don't have to show it to me." ”

In the front yard, the servant Lao Qiang was cleaning the courtyard, he had always gotten up very early, and when he saw the master running in a hurry, he was as surprised as Luo, "The master got up so early." ”

"Hmm." Hu Guiyang went into the house to find the night pot.

Lao Qiang said outside the door: "Does the master want to wash?" ”

"Yes."

"Have breakfast?"

"Eat."

"Then I wake up the old horse, what is the taste of the newcomer?"

The identity of the "Ding Palace Maid" was undecided, and the servant didn't know what to call it, so she had to call it "Newcomer".

"Don't let the old horse cook yet, I'll ask later."

"Yes, sir." Lao Qiang thought to himself that this "newcomer" must be very favored, and he even had to ask what he was eating, and he would have to change his name in the future, "By the way, there is a guest who wants to see the master." ”

"So early?" Hu Guiyang opened the door, and his stomach was much more comfortable.

"I came in the middle of the night last night, banging on the door, saying that it was the old man of the master, but he refused to say his name. I said that the lord was newly married, and he would not see the guest tonight, and he said that he was waiting outside, and when I was sweeping the yard in the morning, I really saw a person squatting outside the door. ”

Hu Guiyang was very surprised, "I'll take a look." ”

There was a man sitting outside the door, like an old monk, with his eyes closed, his body straight, and a layer of frost on his hair and eyebrows.

"Does the master know him?" Lao Qiang asked in a low voice.

Hu Guiyang did not answer.

Seeing that there was no excitement on the master's face, Lao Qiang judged that what he did last night was right, took a step forward, and looked at it carefully for a while, "Is it ...... Frozen to death? ”

"Try his snort."

Lao Qiang was really obedient, handed over the broom to his left hand, and slowly stretched out his right hand to test his nose, and as soon as his fingertips reached his nose, the man suddenly raised his arm like lightning, and his five fingers firmly grasped his wrist.

Lao Qiang groaned in pain, and the broom in his left hand fell to the ground.

Hu Guiyang arched his hand and smiled: "It's still alive." ”

The man let go, got up slowly, and said to Lao Qiang first: "I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”

"It's fine." Lao Qiang picked up the broom, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and looked at the master.

Hu Guiyang looked at the guests carefully and said with a smile: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I don't recognize you, the 'old man'." ”

As soon as he heard that it was not an old man, Lao Qiang held the broom handle with both hands, and when he was about to pick up people, he would beat him a few times.

The guests could not see their age, their eyes were bright, but their bodies were skinny and skinny, and their skin was sagging like that of an old man in his seventies and eighties.

"No wonder, few people still recognize me. Can you go in and talk? I haven't eaten in two days. ”

"Please come in. Lao Qiang, let Lao Ma prepare the meal, no matter what to do, the sooner the better. ”

"Huh? Sir, you don't even know him......"

"The 'old people' I don't know, that's interesting." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

Lao Qiang didn't understand what the so-called fun meant, so he had to go to find Lao Ma, turned around halfway and asked, "What about the backyard?" ”

"Don't worry about it, starving them won't spoil them."

Lao Qiang was puzzled, didn't ask more, and went to ask Lao Ma to get up and cook.

Hu Guiyang invited the guests into the temporary living room, "I'm sorry, the hall at the back has just been repaired, and it hasn't been cleaned up yet, so I can't serve guests." ”

"It's almost three years, right?" This was not a surprise to the guests.

"You've been here?" Hu Guiyang was even more surprised, and asked the guests to sit down, and sat down himself.

"When I demolished the house in the back, I did a little bit of effort."

Hu Guiyang was stunned, the people who demolished the house were all strangers, if it was a stranger in the government, he could not be called an "old man", and it stands to reason that he would not come to see him, if it was a stranger in the rivers and lakes, he almost knew everything, but there was no one in front of him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, Hu Guiyang jumped up and blurted out: "Xiao kills the bear!" You're Xiao Kill Bear! ”

The guest smiled, "Captain Hu's reaction is the same as others, fortunately, you still remember my name." ”

Hu Guiyang couldn't connect the skin and bones in front of him, who was shorter than himself, with the giant, and was in a daze, when the old horse sent some cold meat and rice, yawned and said, "It's all left over from last night, and you have to wait a while to eat hot food." ”

Without waiting for Hu Guiyang to speak, Xiao Killing Xiong preemptively said: "These are very good." ”

"Hot rice is also cooking, let's heat the pot of wine first." Hu Guiyang said.

Lao Ma left, Xiao killed Xiong Qian twice, began to eat, a little restrained, and soon let go of the big meal, a bowl of rice was eaten in a few bites, it seemed that he was not even half full, Hu Guiyang went to call Lao Qiang and asked him to bring the rice bucket directly.

Xiao Killing Xiong ate five bowls in a row, and the last two bowls were eaten with pickles, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

"Your meal hasn't changed much." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.

Xiao Killing Xiong patted his bulging belly, "It's still a little smaller, I'm full." ”

"How do you ...... You didn't stay at the beginning, and you lost your divine power? ”

"Alas, it's a long story, I thought I was less ambitious and could retain my divine power, but not long after I entered the mountain, I was besieged by several masters and almost died in their hands, and there was no divine power left."

Hu Guiyang was taken aback, "Where is the master?" Can you defeat Inhuman, but also take away your divine power? ”

"I also wondered, first hiding to recuperate, there is a benefit to losing my divine power, my body gradually returned to normal, but the skin shrank more slowly. At the same time of cultivation, I am also practicing my skills, you know, the aliens have taken some mortal exercises, and they are just using them. A year ago, I made it to the top ......"

"Wait, a year ago, you only practiced for less than two years, and you were able to practice the Fa successfully?"

Xiao Killing Xiong nodded, "I'm not very smart, my qualifications are average, and if I change to someone else, it may be faster." ”

"How come I haven't encountered such a good thing? I've practiced too, huh? ”

"Maybe it's because your time as a stranger is too short, although I have lost my divine power, but the meridians are open, the exercises I practice are called "Taiyi Heart Sutra", it is said that it is not easy, but when I practice, it is extremely smooth, and I have all the way. When it was difficult to improve my skills, I decided to go out of the mountain. ”

"Compared to your skills as an Inhuman......"

Xiao Killing Xiong sighed, "Can't compare, can't compare." So I still have to regain the divine power I lost back then. ”

Hu Guiyang was alert, "How did you find me here?" ”

"I haven't been able to find out who is besieging me, and I think you're smarter, at least smarter than me, so I'm looking for you to ask."

"I hadn't even heard of it. How many besiegers? ”

"Seven people, if you want to talk about skills, they are not as good as me, but they are good at medicine, they make me confused from the beginning, and they can also use equipment, which is that kind of box."

"Heavenly Machine?"

"Yes, several threads wrapped around my arm, making it difficult for me to control myself."

"There weren't many people who knew how to use heavenly tricks back then, the Wen family was all in the capital, and the Wen family didn't know how to use drugs......

"It's definitely not the Wen family."

Hu Guiyang smiled, and already understood in his heart why Xiao Kill Xiong came to the door, "Do you suspect the He family's sisters and brothers?" There were at most four of them on their side, not seven. ”

"You can find help." Xiao Shouxiong looked at the empty bowl and plate on the table, "I want to use it with you for a while, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, come, I'll take you to meet your former acquaintances." Hu Guiyang likes to be lively.
