Chapter 139: Old Things

"Should I call you Huo Xiu, or Shangguan Mu?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Hearing Shangguan Mu's three words, Huo Xiu's expression was very calm, and his face did not change, which was completely different from Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe's expressions.

"Huo Xiu and Shangguan Mu are the same person, you and I are Huo Xiu, I am Huo Xiu, you are Shangguan Mu, I am Shangguan Mu."

When Huo Xiu spoke, he had been staring intently at the broken tin pot on the red clay stove, as if the temperature of the wine in the broken tin pot was far more worthy of his attention than the three masters who saw through his true face.

Su Yang said: "Huo Xiu is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, and when he goes to a friend's place, he will be warmly entertained; And Shangguan Mu was a traitor of the Jinpeng Dynasty. Your attitude towards us depends entirely on our attitude towards you. ”

"Not bad." Huo Xiu raised his head and looked at Su Yang, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "You have a great talent for business, if you treat me as Huo Xiu, you can come and follow me to do business." ”

The four words of doing business came out of Huo Xiu's mouth, and their value was by no means a thousand words.

Following Huo Xiu to do business, it is not much different from following the emperor as an official.

Su Yang shook his head and said: "No, I'm too smart, people who are too smart are often not suitable for business, because smart people are lazy." ”

Huo Xiu thought for a while and said, "Yes, you are indeed very smart. Very few people can find this place smoothly, when I see the push word on the door, at least nine out of ten people refuse to push the door, if they don't push the door, they can't get in at all, if they don't turn the word, no matter who wants to get out of my nine-song maze, see the word stop without stopping, even if they are not shot into a hedgehog by random arrows, they have to fall into the oil pot and peel off the skin. If you hadn't drunk that wine, you would have been fascinated a long time ago. It's a pity that such a smart young man has to embarrass me as an old man. ”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, we never promised the King of the Golden Peng to kill anyone, we just wanted to find out what happened." And Yan Tieshan is dead, Dugu Yihe is dead, Huo Tianqing is also dead, it seems that there is a hand pushing their deaths, I only hope that this qiē is not your mastermind behind the scenes. ”

"How much do you know about the events of those days?" Huo Xiu asked unhurriedly.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You and Yan Tieshan, Dugu Yihe, Shangguan Jin, were originally important ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty, when the Jinpeng Dynasty fell, the three of you were ordered to take the jewelry wealth of the Inner Treasury, and Shangguan Jin took the little prince of Jinpeng to Middle-earth." But then you never found Shangguan Jin and the little prince, so you swallowed up this ......wealth."

Huo Xiu had been listening quietly, and suddenly interrupted him and said, "You are wrong. ”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Wrong?"

Huo Xiu said: "We did not swallow wealth, but accepted it. ”

"Accept?"

"Yes, although we did not find him, he left us a letter, a letter that only descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty can write, to the effect that he will never see us, and that wealth will be given to us as a reward for our many years of service to the Jinpeng Dynasty."

"Is he sick?" Lu Xiaofeng said strangely.

Huo Xiu's eyes suddenly showed a helpless sadness, and he said slowly: "Our little prince has been known as the 'poetry, calligraphy and painting' since he was a child. Such a person, his nature is naturally tranquil, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of the throne, he just wants to be able to live a peaceful life with poetry and wine, not to mention that the wealth brought out by Shangguan Mu is enough for him to live a leisurely life. However, if he inherits this wealth, he will have to think of using this wealth to restore the country, endure a lot of hardship, and his life may be in danger at any time. ”

"But over the years, he has spent more and more lavishly, and the money has been almost spent, so he came to you to ask for it?" Su Yang asked.

"Yes, anyone who only spends money will not make money, and no amount of money will be spent one day. Sometimes a half-hour gamble can cost you money. Huo Xiu nodded.

"In any case, this money was originally his, and how he spends it is his business, so there is no reason for you not to pay it back." Su Yang said: "Then you don't pay back, there must be a reason?" ”

Huo Xiu said coldly: "Yes, it's not that no one has come to us before. The four old men outside, you must have seen them just now. ”

Su Yang said: "Presumably, they are all pretending to be the King of the Great Golden Peng to seek this wealth?"

Huo Xiu nodded and said lightly: "If they want to get rich, I will let them face those gold jewels all day long. They want to pretend to be the emperor, so I will let them sit on the throne in dragon robes all day long, although they want to cheat money. But I did not do them any wrong. ”

No one can say that Huo Xiu did something wrong, and it is no more appropriate to use this method to deal with that kind of person.

"I haven't seen you for decades, and people's appearances and voices have changed greatly, do you have any way to distinguish the real Golden Peng King?"

Huo Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, the real Great Golden Peng King, every generation of emperors of the Golden Peng Dynasty, are people born with visions, and they have six toes on both feet. And this time the King of the Golden Pengs"

He glanced up at Lu Xiaofeng and said with a wry smile: "There were originally a few masters in the Jinpeng Palace, plus Zhu stopped there, I sent people a few times, but I didn't see his toes." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "So now we only need to manage to take off the boots of the Great Golden Peng King, and look at a few toes on his feet to tell the truth from the fake." ”

"You have also seen the weapons and wealth outside, and I have been preparing for the restoration of the country all these years."

Huo Xiu nodded and said, "If the Great Golden Peng King is really the little prince of the year this time, I can also take this burden off my shoulders, otherwise I will ......"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Otherwise, we will also invite him to be the companion of the four emperors outside." ”

Leaving the small building and walking in the morning mist, Hua Manlou suddenly shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "What's the matter, let's take off the boots of the Golden Peng, let's see, take off a man's boots, at least it's easier than a woman's pants." ”

"What he said may be true, but he didn't finish telling the truth." Su Yang said: "At least he didn't explain why he secretly arranged for Dugu Yihe to kill us several times, and how Huo Tianqing died." ”

"He can't say these things at all." Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Besides, no one knows, is there really a person in this world who has six toes on both feet?" If there were no such people in the world, even if what Huo Xiu said was not true, wouldn't it have become true. ”

"Of the four heirs to the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty, there are only two parties left now, so in the end, when only one side is left, the truth will be revealed." Su Yang said: "Believe it or not, the King of the Great Golden Peng must have a way for us not to see his feet now." ”
