81 The Road to Despair
After finishing speaking, Wang Jiayin immediately stood up, immediately turned around and left.
As he walked out, he also advised: "Third brother, you should also prepare for your brother as soon as possible, it is best to leave early tomorrow morning, this matter should be sooner rather than later!" ”
Hu Kuan followed Wang Jiayin out, listened to his advice, and nodded in agreement.
But Hu Guang frowned, he felt that something was wrong, Wang Jiayin's intention to let him go was too obvious.
If Wang Jiayin is really just for the telescope, for Gao Yingxiang's incident, I always feel that this motive is not sufficient.
That Gao Yingxiang, selling horses for a living, if nothing else, is the first generation of Chuang Wang, I didn't expect to have a long connection with Wang Jiayin.
Hu Guang was thinking that Hu Kuan had already sent Wang Jiayin away, returned to the house, and said to Hu Guang: "Second brother, why are you stunned?" If you are worried about the danger of going to Yan'an Mansion, the eldest brother will go tomorrow morning and say that you are not going......"
Hu Guang didn't wait for him to finish, shook his head, squeezed out a smile a little, and said after laughing: "Big brother, do you think there is anything special about Wang Jiayin?" ”
Because of what he was thinking in his heart, unconsciously, he called Wang Jiayin again.
Hu Kuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the second brother to ask like this. But since the second brother asked, after thinking about it for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing special!" ”
"What does the eldest brother think of Wang Jiayin, and has there been any change in the relationship with the eldest brother?" Hu Guang changed his way and asked again.
Hu Kuan felt that the second brother was asking a little strangely, he sat down, looked at Hu Guang across the table, and replied patiently: "The eldest brother is very good, he is a righteous man, he spends money like dirt, he is good at making friends, and his chivalrous name is very famous in our Qin land!" ”
At this, he blushed slightly. However, in front of his younger brother, he could still say bluntly: "In the past, I cut off my robe with him, but I didn't expect that in the end, something would be asked to the eldest brother, and he had already washed his hands, but he was willing to take a big risk to help me, and every time I thought about it, I was ashamed to ......."
"Big brother, listen to me!" Hu Guang frowned and said loudly, interrupting Hu Kuan's self-blame.
In his surprised gaze, Hu Guang made a serious face and asked seriously: "Big brother, Wang Jiayin promised to help you, and the matter of sending people to Fugu County to save people is not so noble at all. Actually, he's just using you......"
"Second brother, don't say that!" Hu Kuan listened, his face sank, and he whispered.
Hu Guang knew that this matter was very important, so although he was reprimanded by his eldest brother, he did not show weakness, still looked back at Hu Kuan's eyes, and said sincerely: "Big brother, I am not talking nonsense!" Anyway, we are brothers, you can listen to me tell you the reason! ”
Feeling Hu Guang's sincere words, Hu Kuan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and finally nodded and looked at Hu Guang without speaking.
"Big brother, Wang Jiayin said that he had washed his hands and didn't dry them, which is obviously a lie. You think, if he really quits, why do you raise so many families? Don't tell me that the world is not peaceful, and you have to use so many people to protect the house! ”
This is one of them, and the second is that Wang Jiayin has revealed more than once that he has brothers who have started trouble in other places and want to come and meet. If he decides to go back to his old business when you go to him, it's not the right time! ”
"Third, I don't know if you remember some of the words that Wu Tinggui said, which have been debunked by me before. In fact, the fundamental purpose of Wang Jiayin sending people here was just to cover his affairs in Qingshui......"
Listening to Hu Guang say it one by one, Hu Kuan's face slowly changed. He is not a fool, if he was still indulged in wishful thinking before, and now he is so instructed by Hu Guang, how can he not be able to distinguish between good and bad!
The change in his expression was seen by Hu Guang, who was staring at him, and while breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, he continued: "Big brother, if you are still grateful to Wang Jiayin for helping in the end, you can also think like this, all the money we got from the He family in Baode Prefecture has been given to him. ”
"The most important thing is that in Fugu County, whether it is prestige or influence, you can be the leader, but you still serve him as the master. Even the wealth of the You family was attributed to him and let him distribute it. So, from this aspect, it is actually Wang Jiayin who owes you more, not what you owe Wang Jiayin. ”
Hu Kuan listened, suddenly let out a heavy sigh, lowered his head, and stared blankly at the belongings on the table without speaking.
Hu Guang can understand that for the eldest brother who values feelings, the friendship that he thought was fateful before does not seem to be as strong as imagined; thinks that it is like a brotherly friendship, but it also implies deception and use, and it is certainly not very comfortable in my heart.
Therefore, Hu Guang did not continue to speak, but just looked at the eldest brother quietly, waiting for him to digest and bear all this.
After a long while, Hu Kuan slowly raised his head, looked at his own brother, and asked depressedly: "Second brother, why did you suddenly say this to your eldest brother today?" ”
Hu Guang grinned, eased the depressed atmosphere, and then replied: "Big brother, in fact, after I understood, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I never had a chance. ”
"Big brother, the reason why I want to explain to you is just to let you understand that we are on the road of no return to rebellion. This road will be very difficult, not only will the process of overthrowing the rule of the Ming Dynasty be very difficult, but also beware of companions stabbing in the back. There are countless examples of this throughout history......"
"Hahaha......" Hu Kuan suddenly laughed, as if he had heard something very funny. At first, it was a little suppressed, but slowly later, it was completely let go of laughing out loud, as if it was ridiculous.
The movement was a bit loud, and the door was pushed open again, and it was Ulan coming. I was surprised to see the two brothers sitting facing each other, the younger brother looked at the elder brother helplessly, the elder brother was laughing in the sky, and the atmosphere was very weird.
She was a little worried, closed the door, approached the table, patted Hu Kuan's shoulder, and did not speak.
After a long while, Hu Kuan's laughter finally slowly became weaker and weaker, and finally he couldn't laugh anymore.
He stared at Hu Guang, out of the corner of his eyes, he didn't know if there were tears hanging from laughter, with a little arrogance, and asked in a low voice: "Is this road difficult?" It's a dead end at all, and we are walking on a dead end! ”
As an indigenous person of the Ming Dynasty, he has never read a book or traveled thousands of miles, for him, the Ming Empire is the Yellow River on the edge of the Fugu, and he is just a drop of water in it; The Ming Empire is the highest Huanglong Mountain in Fugu, and he is just an ant at the foot of the mountain.
Overthrow the Ming Empire? It's even more incredible than seeing a fairy!
The reason why I came to this road of no return is that I was forced to have no choice!
From Hu Kuan's short sentence, Ulan already understood why he laughed. Truth be told, Ulan was just as hopeless about the future. It's just that she didn't say it, and she usually buried it in her heart.
Now when she heard her husband's words, she was silent, and put her hands on her husband's shoulders, as if she wanted to become one with him, life and death.
