Chapter 90 [Suspicious Ghosts] (II) Eighth Update
Hu Xiaotian cautiously climbed back to the ground from the roof, and realized the benefits of martial arts at this time, even if he had the money to hire a bodyguard, it was impossible for the bodyguard to follow him 24 hours a day, after all, there was a time when he was alone, fortunately Xiyan didn't have the intention of harming him, otherwise with Xiyan's martial arts, he would only die if he was necked.
Hu Xiaotian pushed open the door in the dark, took out the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp on the table, yawned, and was about to go to bed to rest, but found that there was a gray-haired old man sitting on the bed.
The old man was dressed in gray, with a thin body, sitting motionless on the bed, looking at Hu Xiaotian with his eyes, like a wax figure, more like a corpse.
Hu Xiaotian was frightened into a cold sweat, this time the fright was greater than when Xiyan teased him just now, when he saw the appearance of the old man clearly, he found that the old man in front of him was also an acquaintance, and he was actually An Dequan who had been rescued by him in Lanruo Temple. Thinking of Long Yefang, the seventeenth prince who came over tonight, and then thinking of Qiqi who has the status of a royal family, Hu Xiaotian can almost conclude that An Dequan's appearance here should be related to Zhou Wang Long Yefang.
At the beginning, he personally performed the amputation of An Dequan's right leg in Lanruo Temple, and also discovered the secret that An Dequan was a eunuch.
Ande Quan said in a low voice: "You don't have to be afraid, I have no ill will towards you." He raised his right hand, the void pointed a finger, and a wave of internal energy catapulted into Hu Xiaotian's chest in the air, Hu Xiaotian felt a pain in his chest, and couldn't help but hum, his throat could finally make a sound. An Dequan can actually volley points. This skill is really unfathomable.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think that this old eunuch didn't know when he came here? But I don't know if he was already spying on them when he was talking to Xiyan just now. Although Hu Xiaotian is An Dequan's life-saving benefactor, he doesn't expect this old eunuch to be able to repay his kindness, throughout the ages, the more people in the palace, the more complicated people's hearts are. The old eunuch doesn't show up here for no reason. Hu Xiaotian was secretly wary in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface, and said with a smile: "Old man, your injuries are healed?" ”
An Dequan said with a blank expression: "Do you think that I have already let the lonely souls and wild ghosts of Lanruo Temple take them away?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Your old man has a great fortune, I already knew that you must be fine." "Secretly thinking about the situation of not being able to leave Lanruo Temple for more than a month, this old eunuch's body recovered quickly, and he was able to enter his room without him noticing. Hu Xiaotian's eyes searched around to see if there was anyone else besides An Dequan.
Ande said: "What do you see? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "How did you come here?" ”
"Naturally, I came here!"
"Your legs!"
Hu Xiaotian has amputated An Dequan's right leg, and now he sees that both of An Dequan's thighs seem to be there. With both feet on the ground, could it be that the old eunuch's thighs could not be regenerated like a gecko's tail? No, if the thigh can regenerate, why didn't the thing in the middle of him grow after it was cut?
An Dequan seemed to guess Hu Xiaotian's thoughts, and slowly opened his trousers, Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes, but saw that his right leg was completely made of metal, and the dark shadows flashed with a deep reflection of metal. Sure enough, it was a prosthetic leg.
Anderquan put down his pants again and whispered, "What was lost will never come back." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled. didn't answer, but I didn't know whether the old eunuch was sighing about his thighs or his life.
An Dequan slowly stood up and walked towards Hu Xiaotian step by step, although he controlled it well, but he still limped when he walked, and came to Hu Xiaotian to sit down. Looking at the young man in front of him by the light of the oil lamp, he said in a low voice: "The matter of Qiqi is thanks to you, the old man said that I owe you a favor." ”
Hu Xiaotian shook his head: "It's a trivial matter. I don't know why, he felt sorry for this old eunuch from the bottom of his heart, and only hoped that An Dequan would never find himself.
An Dequan said: "Is that piece of Panlong jade pendant still with you?" ”
Hu Xiaotian was stunned. Could it be that Ande came here just to ask for the jade pendant for himself? He shook his head and said: "Lost, on the way to Qingyun after leaving Xiezhou, we encountered robbers again, and on the way to escape, we lost the jade pendant, I really regret thinking about it." ”
An Dequan sighed with some regret and said, "Lost? “
"Ahh Hu Xiaotian will not honestly return the jade pendant to him, Lao Tzu has worked hard to help you send people to Xiezhou, that jade pendant is obviously the hard money you gave me, now that the matter has passed, you actually want to go back, say, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Besides, the jade pendant is not with me, I gave it to the little widow Le Yao, even if you search me, I am not afraid.
Ande said: "Since you lost it, forget it, it's your thing anyway." ”
Hu Xiaotian leaned closer to him and said happily: "Old man, you are from the palace, right?" "Now that I'm not afraid to tell the truth.
An Dequan nodded slowly and said, "It has always been." His gaze was as flat as water, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile rather than a smile, and it became more and more unfathomable.
Hu Xiaotian knocked on the side and said, "This time you came with His Royal Highness King Zhou?" He pushed forward layer by layer, step by step, trying to find out the truth from the old eunuch, in his opinion, King Zhou came to cheer for himself this time should have something to do with the old eunuch.
An Dequan's deep eyes stared at Hu Xiaotian's young face, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, he had already heard Hu Xiaotian's purpose, knew what this kid wanted to ask, and said in a low voice: "No!" ”
Hu Xiaotian thought that the old eunuch was lying, since Zhou Wang Long Ye Fang was entrusted by Qiqi to come over to support him, and the old eunuch sacrificed his life to escort Qiqi all the way to Xiezhou, they must know each other, and they are destined to have an unusual relationship.
Ande Quandao: "Do you really want to know the identity of Qiqi?" ”
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "I don't have that much curiosity!" You love to talk about it! "Actually, this guy is not only curious, but also very curious.
An Dequan said: "Actually, as long as you ask, I will definitely tell you frankly, the old man's life was saved by you, and I don't need to hide anything from you." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone should have their own secrets, and I never make it difficult for others." ”
An Dequan smiled and said, "You should know the true identity of the Zhou family owner in Yujin Lane, Fengze Street, Xiezhou?" ”
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, and for some reason he suddenly became a little nervous.
An Dequan said: "He used to be a member of the first rank of the dynasty, the official worship of the right prime minister of Dakang, the prince and the prince, the bachelor of Hanlin Fengzhi, Tongping Zhangshi, Zhou Ruiyuan of Shangzhu State, Lord Zhou." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not too familiar with things in the court. As early as when he sent Qiqi to the Zhou family, he already knew the identity of the owner of the Zhou family, and the reason why he was in a hurry to leave was that he had a premonition that Qiqi was being chased and killed was likely to involve a thrilling political conspiracy, Hu Xiaotian Mingzhe protected his life and did not want to participate in it, so he sensibly chose to draw a line with them, thinking that after coming to Qingyun, he would cut off contact with them, but he didn't expect that the old eunuch actually saved his life and came here.
An Dequan said: "Although you are not familiar with it, but your father is very familiar with these things, I heard that you made a baby kiss with the daughter of the Zhou family when you were in your mother's womb, but later the Zhou family heard that you were a fool, so you took the initiative to dissolve the marriage, is there such a thing?" ”
Hu Xiaotian's forehead has begun to sweat, the old eunuch touched his bottom clearly, I said, there is no point in going around in front of him, Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Chen Guzi's rotten rice, if you don't say it, I don't remember." ”
An Dequan said: "Three years ago, the emperor abolished the crown prince, and Lord Zhou argued with reason, but he angered His Majesty, so he was cut to the people, and you should know about this." ”
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "Tianwei is unpredictable, but at that time, I was young and didn't care about the affairs of the court. ”
Ande said: "Not bad! This mind is the most elusive. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm just a nine-rank sesame official, I haven't even seen His Majesty's face, and I may never have the opportunity to see it in my life." ”
An Dequan said: "Qiqi said, if it weren't for you, she would have died on the way, and the reason why she was able to arrive safely in Xiezhou was all dependent on you, she owed you a great favor, and said that she would definitely repay you in the future." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "This matter has passed, you can help me tell her, don't take it to heart." "I secretly thought in my heart, if you don't trouble me, thank God, I don't want your reward.
An Dequan said: "I'm really strange, why would Hu Buwei be willing to let you go over the mountains and wade through the rivers and come thousands of miles to the southwest to suffer." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father thought that I was drunk and dreaming of death in the capital, and I was looking for trouble, so he asked me to come here to exercise." ”
"It's right to bully men and women without evil!"
Hu Xiaotian's face is hot, it seems that this old eunuch has worked himself.
An Dequan said: "Qiqi is the daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, although he was already prepared, but at this time he still couldn't help but be shocked by this truth, and blurted out: "Which prince ......" After finishing speaking, he suddenly regretted it, the current crown prince Long Yeqing is about to succeed to the throne, and it won't be long before he will reign in the world, who dares to hunt down and kill his daughter? This Qiqi is obviously the daughter of the unlucky prince Long Yelin who was deposed. But Long Yelin has lost power, his daughter was chased and killed all the way, but he inadvertently saved her, if this matter spreads, what will others think? Should it affect your own dad? The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more frightened he became. (To be continued......)
