Hu Dingtang subconsciously clenched my hand, the major elders did not wait in the ancestral hall to preside over the ceremony of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, but came here directly, this is not to welcome us, but to crusade.

I was relieved: "Don't look like you're facing a great enemy, it's not that serious. ”

Hu Yunzhi complained: "Miss Meng, you are really playing big this time, I know that you are eager to save the third brother, but things will get worse and worse, after all, you know what your identity is." ”

I frowned, look, even Hu Yunzhi didn't believe that I was really his fourth sister, let alone those others.

At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside, and I stood up and said, "Hu Yunzhi, take care of your third brother, I have other things." ”

With that, I jumped out of the carriage and caught up with the group of elders who had arrived in a hurry.

This group of elders is relatively old, all of them are childish, and their cultivation skills are not low, this group of people should be the same as Hu Qing'an, they were all veterans who experienced my mother's incident back then, Hu Qing'an's suppression of my mother's affairs was not publicized to the outside world, but it must have been discussed with these elders, otherwise the forbidden land would not have alarmed these people.

I glanced at it, and there were seven of them.

These seven elders, this is the first time I have met, I have had fewer opportunities to come to the old mansion before, and after I came, I have seen Hu Qing'an more, I didn't expect to meet them for the first time, and it would be such a big battle.

The one who was the leader came up and glanced at me, his face was gloomy and ugly, and then he turned to Hu Qing'an, and said in an unkind tone: "Just her?" ”

Hu Qing'an nodded: "This is my youngest daughter's only daughter, the fourth girl." ”

The elder shook his head: "Although she looks very similar, this is clearly an ordinary woman, how can it be a four girls?" ”

"The matter of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors is not a joke, the descendants who can go to the genealogy of the fox clan must at least have a pure bloodline."

"This girl used to be an idiot, and she opened a shroud shop with Meng Pozi in Lin'an Town, when I went to Lin'an Town before, I also met, and now any cats and dogs can be included in our fox family tree?"

“……”

The voices of doubt came one after another, and the words became more and more unpleasant, I didn't open my mouth, I just opened my mouth, and I was not so sharp.

Zuo but there is also Hu Qing'an, we said before, he can't ignore me, after a group of people chattered for a while, Hu Qing'an finally opened his mouth: "She holds the Holy Maiden Order in her hand, this is a token left by the little girl, she is the fourth girl, it won't be wrong." ”

The elder at the head said: "There are not many people who have seen the Holy Maiden Ling, if she forges one casually, everyone may not be able to tell the difference." ”

Hu Qing'an shook his head: "Anyone can admit mistakes, but the little girl will not admit mistakes, is it her daughter, she has already given the answer, Jingyang, there is no doubt about this." ”

It turned out that the elder who was the leader was called Hu Jingyang.

"What do you mean by that?" Hu Jingyang asked.

"Previously, the four girls entered the forbidden land, I told you about this."

Hu Jingyang nodded, and Hu Qing'an continued: "The forbidden land is in crisis, and the four girls were also attacked in the forbidden land, but in the end, they retreated, and it was the little girl who sent her out. ”

As soon as Hu Qing'an said this, everyone was speechless, I frowned and glanced at Hu Qing'an, I never thought that Hu Qing'an would use this to convince everyone, and the effect seemed to be good.

But soon, Hu Jingyang flicked his sleeves and pointed the finger at Hu Qing'an: "If she is true, you will be to blame!" ”

"Yes, back then, we said that these four girls couldn't stay, and sooner or later it would be a scourge, if it weren't for your indecision, how could you be today?"

"What kind of child she is, everyone knows it, she is on the family tree, and I am the first to disagree."

"Yes, I don't agree, let her go on the family tree, that is, to give in to that person, this is kicking the nose and eyes!"

"It's over, I've escaped for hundreds of thousands of years, but I still can't hide after all!"

“……”

A sentence pierced my heart, why did they treat me so badly?

What kind of unbearable person is my cheap father?

But I don't believe that he is really as unbearable as they say, otherwise, how could my mother, a dignified fox saintess, look up to such a character?

Hu Qing'an sighed and said: "Don't complain here, you have been stable for hundreds of thousands of years, do you think that the fox clan is really stable and unshakable?" The truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace, I guess I don't need to teach you, right? ”

Hu Jingyang said hatefully: "Anyway, no matter what, it is impossible for her to go to the family tree, unless I die!" ”

"I'll reconsider!"

"I agree too!"

“……”

A group of people have expressed their attitudes, and they can't wait to kill me now to prevent future troubles.

Hu Qing'an looked at me in embarrassment: "Four girls, you have also seen it, it's not that I don't want you to go to the family tree, it's mainly ......"

I gritted my teeth, this Hu Qing'an is simply an old slippery head, I only found out now, playing scheming with him, I am not his opponent at all, he can be false with me, and then borrow the hands of the major elders to oppress me, and he still shows a helpless look.

But I'm not a soft persimmon, let them pinch and rub round, open my mouth and ask: "My father's identity really makes you so jealous?" Then may I ask, do I have to invite my father and his old man to come here in person, so that I can get this family tree? ”

When the words fell, there was silence around them, and the group of people who were jumping up and down just now didn't dare to say a word at the moment.

It seems that my cheap father really works, and if he is so useful, then why should I bother with the matter of genealogy?

I don't have to stay in the fox clan, the reason why I brought up this matter before was just to transfer Hu Dingtang over to ensure his safety, and now that the goal has been achieved, I don't want to tear my face like this.

I immediately laughed and said, "Look at you all gray faces, do you really treat me as a flood beast?" You don't want me to join the fox clan, I still think your temple is small, and I can't fit my big Buddha, but there are some things I have to say in front, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if people offend me, and the people I want to protect, then, the consequences, is not what you can afford! ”

The seven elders all blew their noses and stared at me, but no one opened their mouths to say a word to me, I looked at Hu Qing'an and said, "Grandpa, you see that I have been here for so long, hungry, thirsty and tired, is there a place for me to rest?" ”

Hu Qing'an's strategy of trying to use the Seven Great Elders to suppress me failed, so he took the opportunity to say: "I said it before, let's eat first, since everyone is here so together today, let's eat together." ”

"I can't eat this meal!" Hu Jingyang walked away angrily with a black face, and as soon as he left, the other elders also walked away.

I shrugged my shoulders and said innocently, "It seems that they are not hungry, grandpa, I am also tired, can I eat in my own small room?" ”

"Okay, I'll let someone prepare." Hu Qing'an walked in the door on crutches and asked someone to prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for me, since I came back this time, I didn't plan to leave easily.

I waved my hand to the coachman and led the carriage into the old mansion, Hu Dingtang had his own room in the old mansion, and Uncle Dong was also more discerning, so he cleaned up the room next to Hu Dingtang and placed me.

The food was brought directly into Hu Dingtang's room, and we sat down around the table, but Hu Yunzhi said, "You talk, I'll go to the kitchen to eat." ”

Hu Dingtang kept a cold face, I knew that his leg hurt and he was not in a good mood, and he didn't dare to provoke him, but he just held his bowl and ate it very deliciously.

Hu Dingtang held back beside him for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Heartless, no one in this fox clan treats you up, aren't you afraid that they will poison the food?" ”

"Why should I be afraid? Do they dare? I asked with a smile.

Hu Dingtang glared at me: "Are you really the fourth?" ”

"It's like a fake." I winked at him playfully, "Did you suddenly feel a diaphragm?" Third brother? ”

Hu Dingtang's face, which was called by the third brother, instantly turned red to the root of his ears, and he scolded: "Don't scream." ”

"You are the third, I am the fourth, why can't you call you the third brother like them? Doesn't Hu Yunxi also call you the third brother? You're my third brother. I deliberately provoked him, watching him eat deflated, my heart was inexplicably comfortable.

"Cousin." Hu Dingtang corrected, "You and I are not the same surname, and you are just a body now, Hu Jingyang They are right, you have nothing to do with the fox clan." ”

I shook my head: "Hu Dingtang, I am really your little aunt's daughter, the fox Neidan hidden in my body is what I have cultivated by myself for tens of thousands of years, and my real body is also a fox, but then something happened, and my real body was destroyed, so I fell here." ”

"That's why I said you're daring." Hu Dingtang said, "No matter what you were in the past, now you are just an ordinary human being, and your cultivation level is worse than that of some Taoist priests. ”

"I'm not afraid, they don't dare." As I spoke, I took out the Holy Maiden's Order and handed it to Hu Dingtang, "I have this." ”

Hu Dingtang took the Holy Maiden's Order, and after looking at it carefully, he nodded and said: "This is the real Holy Maiden Order, the entire fox clan, only the little aunt is a blood fox, and only the nine-tailed fox on her jade pendant is blood-colored." ”

I snorted: "You are a member of the fox clan, you know the meaning of this holy maiden order, and ordinary people must have enough courage if they want to move me." ”

Hu Dingtang handed me back the Holy Maiden Order: "Put it away, the Fox Clan recognizes the Holy Maiden Order and does not recognize people, once the Holy Maiden Order falls into the hands of others, the power behind it will not care about you." ”

"Hu Dingtang, have you seen those people led by this Holy Maiden Order?" I couldn't help but ask.

Hu Dingtang shook his head: "I haven't seen it, after the accident of the little aunt, the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden Order are unknown, and the power that she can mobilize in her hand disappeared overnight and never appeared again." ”

I couldn't help but be a little worried: "Could it be that this force has been disbanded?" ”

"It won't disband, but it may wither." Hu Dingtang said, "I heard my grandfather say that the team mobilized by the Holy Maiden Order, the number is not large, it is a population that is completely free from the edge of the fox clan, the bloodline is very special, few people have seen it, there is no trace, when the members are the most, there are dozens, and when there are few, there are only a few, when the fox clan was in great trouble, the little aunt turned the tide, it is said that there are heavy losses, and no one knows how many are left." ”

"Maybe not even one, right?" My heart is cold.

Hu Dingtang didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, and I was full of pride in my heart, but I instantly wilted: "I won't really be so miserable, I won't leave a helper, right?" ”

Hu Qing'an can tolerate me now, but because I have the Holy Maiden's Order in my hand, he is also waiting, waiting for the moment when I use the Holy Maiden's Order, once he finds out the depth of the power behind me, he may not tolerate me so much.

The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, so I simply didn't think about it: "It's okay, even if there is no one, I'm not afraid, there are people behind this girl, and now I only have two goals, one is to help you heal, the other is to rescue my mother, I don't care about anything else." ”

Hu Dingtang smiled helplessly: "Your breath is really big, if you can do half of these two things, then I will really obey you." ”

"Then you'll have to wait and see." I didn't want to reveal too much to him, so I kept putting vegetables in his bowl, "Eat more to have the strength to see how I fight." ”

Hu Dingtang was amused by me and lost his temper, and finally picked up the bowl and ate with me, I quickly asked him: "Does your leg still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt."

"Don't pretend, it's impossible not to hurt at all, but it's definitely a lot better than when you were in the mansion, right?"

“……”

"You know that they are going to kill you, but you pushed me out and carried it yourself, can you bear it? You are fighting with your life, Hu Dingtang, you don't really treat me as your own. ”

When I think of this, I am angry and sad at him, angry that he insists on doing his own thing, and it is more difficult for him to think about me and not care about his own safety.

Hu Dingtang said indifferently: "That is the path I chose by myself, and I can't pull you up." ”

"That'...... Don't you hate me? I finally asked the question.

Hu Dingtang's chopsticks slammed down, his eyes stared at the rice bowl, and he didn't move for a long time, judging from his expression, Hu Qing'an must have told him about the grievances between his father and my mother.

How can you not care at all? After all, if his father's revolt was caused by my mother, and it directly affected his entire fox life, if he wanted to hate, he hated it to the bones.

The knuckles I pinched the chopsticks began to turn white, and Hu Dingtang said, "I don't believe it's true at all; And, even if it is true, I also believe that the little aunt was a last resort back then, the fox saintess was the chosen one, and she would not be a vicious child; Besides, it's the grudge of the previous generation, and the next generation can't be harmed, so why should I hate you? ”

I can't tell what I felt when I heard Hu Dingtang's words, but my nose was sour, and I wanted to throw myself into his arms and cry a lot.

I tried to keep myself from being impulsive, and asked, "If it weren't for my mother, who do you think would have done it?" ”

"No matter who it is, there will always be a day when it will surface." Hu Dingtang said firmly.

I asked tentatively: "Hu Dingtang, do you feel that between you and Hu Dingqian, it seems that there is a strong opponent forever?" ”

Hu Dingtang's eyes changed when he looked at me: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Think about it, what was your impression of Hu Dingqian before?"

"I always thought that my eldest brother was honest and upright, and his style of acting was relatively old-fashioned, but he was trustworthy, but a series of recent events made me feel that I had lost my eyes before."

I said: "Then let me talk about my intuitive feelings about Hu Dingqian, first of all, I agree with your previous point of view, Hu Dingqian is indeed as you said, and, judging from the number of times I have fought with him, he has a strategy, but he can't stand scrutiny, and even many times, when encountering extremely difficult problems, he will show a sense of helplessness, he is just a paper tiger, a real tiger, behind him. ”

"What do you want to say?" Hu Dingtang furrowed his brows and said, "Isn't the thug behind him Hu Dingkun?" ”

I denied his view: "Hu Dingkun is just a thug, and they should both be contained in the hands of a more powerful person, who wants to push Hu Dingqian to the top and be a puppet." ”

Hu Dingtang took a long breath and said thoughtfully: "Behind the eldest brother, there are nothing more than the major elders of the clan, as well as ...... Are you talking about the forces on his mother's side? Then you are wrong, the clansmen of the eldest aunt's family declined shortly after the death of the eldest aunt, and there is no possibility of a comeback at all. ”

"I'm not talking about them." I actually don't know the bottom in my heart, "It's just speculation, because there are some things that have happened recently, I don't believe that Hu Dingqian's strategy can be planned." ”

Especially on the wedding night, the exchange between me and Hu Yunxi made me even more convinced of this.

After all, how difficult is it to quietly exchange two big living people under the noses of the entire fox clan and control the dynamics of the entire fox clan?

Hu Dingqian will never be able to do it, even if Hu Dingkun is added.

Hu Dingtang didn't return to the fox clan for a long time, he was just guarding against Hu Dingkun before, but he completely ignored Hu Dingqian, so that he was not sensitive to the forces around Hu Dingqian, and a lot of information was missed.

And I brought up this matter tonight because we lived in the old house, and then all the storms will erupt intensively, and I have to give Hu Dingtang a wake-up call.

Hu Dingtang is a smart person, once he improves his vigilance, many things can be thought about in front of me, and I can spend more energy on dealing with Hu Qing'an.

Only by gnawing on Hu Qing'an, the old fox, can I really gain a firm foothold in the fox clan and have the opportunity to save my mother.

……

After eating, I checked Hu Dingtang's knee, it was okay, it wasn't too serious, I asked him to go to bed, he grabbed me and said, "You don't sleep with me?" ”

I blushed at the time: "I have my own room." ”

"I'm not at ease." He grabbed me and didn't let go, "If I can't see you for a second, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

I snorted and laughed: "Then when you tricked me to leave before, I didn't see you worrying about anything, besides, I'm next door." ”

"What's more, we don't live separately, how can you let those guys in the old mansion staring at me?"
