75. Who asked you to come back?
Behind Hu Qing'an, Hu Liancheng and Hu Dingqian were there, and rarely, even Hu Dingkun was there.
It seems that the news that I went and returned, and brought back the Holy Maiden's Order, is it quite fast, or is it that Hu Dingtang and I left the old mansion on the front foot, and they gathered together on the back foot, discussing how to clean me and Hu Dingtang?
Except for Hu Dingkun, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly when he saw me, and he looked like he was waiting to see a good show, and everyone else had straight faces, as if I owed them money.
I walked over and smiled, "I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”
Hu Qing'an frowned, and Hu Dingqian opened his mouth and asked, "Meng Jiushang, I heard that you came in with the Holy Maiden's Order, what about the Holy Maiden's Order?" ”
"The Holy Maiden makes me naturally have, big brother, this is what you want to see?" I asked.
Hu Dingqian said disdainfully: "Who is your eldest brother, don't mess with relatives." ”
Hu Dingkun interjected at the right time: "Big brother? Meng Jiushang, are you the eldest brother who follows my third brother, or should you also call me the second brother in terms of seniority? ”
"Of course, it's about seniority." I said, "Grandpa, you said, my name is right, right?" ”
Hu Dingqian's face instantly became extremely ugly: "Grandpa? ”
The performance of everyone present made me understand that my mother did not die and gave birth to me, only Hu Dingqian did not know, and the others, more or less, knew some inside information, so it was not surprising.
Hu Qing'an said coldly: "What about the Holy Maiden Order? ”
"Grandpa has not forgotten that the Holy Maiden Order is a unique token of the Holy Maiden of the Fox Clan, and it is a symbol of the identity of the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden is the patron saint of the entire Fox Clan, and the token of the Patron Saint can be shown casually?" I'm not stupid, I casually display the Holy Maiden's Order in front of this group of jackals, tigers and leopards, what if I am taken away?
Uncle Zhang said that the team that followed the saint only recognized the token and did not recognize the person, and without the token, I would be immediately beaten back to the original form.
Hu Dingqian immediately jumped out and said: "Grandpa, you see that she doesn't dare to show the Holy Maiden's Order at all, the Holy Maiden's Order she holds must be fake, we can't be deceived by her." ”
Hu Qing'an didn't speak, the hand on the dragon's head crutch was bulging very high, when he secretly suppressed my mother, there were two things he wanted the most, one was the soul suppression flag, and the other was the Holy Maiden Order.
He got the Soul Suppression Banner, but the Holy Maiden Order was outflowed.
The Holy Maiden's Order is very important to the entire fox clan, he hid it, and he must have spent a lot of energy to find it secretly over the years, but I didn't expect that the Holy Maiden's Order finally fell into my hands.
Obviously, he stabilized the situation of the fox clan in the morning, but this time he asked me to kill him again, this is a ruthless army of him, and he can't wait to tear me up now.
I really don't have the slightest affection for the entire fox clan now, this group of guys who only play with power, intrigue, every good thing.
If it weren't for my mother and Hu Dingtang, I really wouldn't want to set foot in this filthy land again.
I didn't tell the difference, I just looked at Hu Qing'an with a smile, his eyes were facing each other, and the air seemed to be frozen at that moment, and after a while, Hu Liancheng said sloppily: "Patriarch, no matter whether the Holy Maiden Order held in Meng Jiusheng's hand is true or false, we all have to be cautious, seeing that it is going to get dark, or, let's have a meal together first, and then talk at the dinner table?" ”
I couldn't help sneering silently, Hu Liancheng wanted to delay for a while, and then find a way to trap me in the old mansion of the fox clan, and then they could do whatever they wanted to me behind closed doors.
Moreover, the situation on Hu Dingtang's side must be very bad now, even if they don't dare to do anything to me because of the team led by the Holy Maiden, they are afraid that I have established a foundation in the fox clan and joined forces with Hu Dingtang, and their lives will not be easy.
Therefore, if you don't get rid of me, you have to get rid of Hu Dingtang.
Thinking of this, I felt a little anxious, but my face was forced to calm down: "Whether to eat this meal or not, I have to say something to my grandfather, if my grandfather recognizes me as a granddaughter, of course I will happily eat this meal with everyone, if my grandfather does not recognize me, then I have to seek justice for myself, this meal, I have to eat with the major elders of the fox clan and the people of the Holy Maiden Hall, grandfather, what do you see?" ”
Hu Qing'an's face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth and said, "That person asked you to come back, didn't he?" ”
This questioning was like thunder hitting the ground, shaking everyone around him in a daze.
I was stunned, that person?
Who is that person?
But after thinking about it, I understood, that person was referring to my mysterious father, right?
He is not from the fox clan, but he abducted the saint daughter of the fox clan and gave birth to me, which was extremely rejected by Hu Qing'an back then, and Hu Qing'an even erased the fact that I was born in this world, it is conceivable that in his eyes, my blood is not pure, and I am not worthy of being called a member of their fox clan at all.
But even in that case, he didn't kill me with his own hands, but threw me into the ice and snow to fend for myself, why?
Was he moved by compassion?
I think this is very unlikely, and it is more likely that he did not dare to kill me with his own hands, and he was afraid of my so-called father.
My mother was forcibly suppressed by him, but the Holy Maiden's Order was missing, and he couldn't find it after looking for so many years, he would definitely think that the Holy Maiden's Decree should have been given to my father by my mother when.
Now, I came back with the Holy Maiden's Order, and Hu Qing'an was afraid.
I didn't keep silent, and Hu Qingan asked again: "What are you doing when you come back?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
"Grandpa said this, I am a member of the fox clan, I have been living abroad for many years, suffering from all the hardships of the world, and now of course I am coming back to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, doesn't my grandfather want this family happiness?" I rightly asked rhetorically.
Hu Dingqian is the least calm: "Grandpa, who is she?" Who the hell is she? ”
Hu Qing'an's lips were shaking, and the snow-white goatee on his chin was shaking and shaking, but his eyes were staring at me, staring at me.
I know that he is struggling in his heart at the moment, he is weighing the pros and cons, I am nervous, but I am not so afraid, because I understand Hu Qing'an's mentality.
In his eyes, Hu Dingqian is unbearable, Hu Liancheng is ambitious, he was actually biased towards Hu Dingtang at the beginning, but Hu Dingtang's illness is a shortcoming.
Now that I have rushed out, Hu Qing'an will eventually use me to sweep away the stumbling block of Hu Liancheng first, and then start to control me, and he has many means to control me, and my mother is the first to bear the brunt.
With me, it's profitable and controllable, maybe you can even pull a handful of Hu Dingtang, why not?
What's the only thing he's afraid of?
It's easy to please God, and it's hard to send God, and he's afraid of my mysterious father.
But, whether he chooses me or not, I and the forces behind me are already standing in front of him, what choice does he have?
After a while, Hu Qing'an finally opened his mouth, and his entire facial expression relaxed, like a kind old man, and turned to Hu Dingqian: "Dingqian, this is your fourth sister." ”
"Four...... Fourth sister? Hu Dingqian said incredulously, "Grandpa, you are confused, my little aunt had a difficult birth back then, one corpse and two lives, and the fourth sister became a stillborn child, and she was not born at all, this is what you said to everyone personally, how can a fourth sister jump out of this time?" Or is she Meng Jiushang? ”
Hu Qing'an soothed: "Dingqian, she is your fourth sister, I can't explain to you for a while, but your fourth sister is now back, everyone has known each other before, this is a great joy, you should be happy." ”
"Grandpa......" Hu Dingqian was full of rejection, and wanted to say something, Hu Dingkun behind him said, "I really don't know each other, I made such a big fuss before, and I almost hurt the fourth sister, and the fourth sister is not surprised." ”
I laughed, "It's all a misunderstanding, I won't take it to heart." ”
Hu Qing'an said: "Okay, since it is clear, the family will sit down and have a meal, which can be regarded as welcoming the four girls back." ”
I stood still and said, "Grandpa, you forgot, I'm coming back now, if the name is not right, let's recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors to eat." You have to give me a name, don't you? ”
Hu Qing'an's face froze, but he had to say: "Since the four girls are in such a hurry, then Liancheng, go and inform the major elders of the clan to go to the ancestral hall." ”
Hu Liancheng immediately agreed, and I answered: "Everyone else is easy to say, after all, they all live in the old mansion, just shout, but my third brother lives far away, such a big thing, he can't not be there, grandfather, you say yes?" ”
Hu Qing'an paused on the ground with a cane, turned his eyes around, and finally looked at Hu Dingkun and said: "The four girls are thoughtful, Dingkun, go and call your third brother, come quickly." ”
"Got it." Hu Dingkun raised his feet and was about to leave, but I said, "Second brother, I'll go with you, this month is dark and windy, I'm afraid that it will be unsafe for you to go back and forth alone." ”
Hu Dingqian said: "The second child has been coming and going in the rain for so many years, but he has never been afraid of anything, and he doesn't bother you." ”
I pursed my lips, like a mirror in my heart, Hu Dingkun is subject to Hu Dingqian, this time, maybe he is going to marry Hu Dingtang, Hu Dingkun himself is unwilling, but he has no right to choose by himself at all, isn't he?
Hu Qing'an said: "That's it, if the four girls are really not at ease, let Yunzhi go, Zuo but Yunzhi will also be there." ”
Hu Yunzhi goes, of course I have no opinion, this said that Hu Yunzhi has been under house arrest by Hu Qing'an in the old house for so long, and it is time to go out to breathe.
Everyone went to their own places, I didn't plan to enter the old mansion before Hu Dingtang arrived, so I stood in place with my hands behind my back, I didn't move, and Hu Dingqian and Hu Qingan didn't move.
At this moment, from inside the old mansion, a heart-rending voice rushed out, screaming: "Impossible! How could she be a member of the fox clan? She doesn't deserve it! ”
As he spoke, Hu Yunxi had already rushed in front of me, stretched out his hand and beckoned me to my face.
She was wearing a red middle coat, her hair was scattered, and her face was hideous, as if she was going to eat me alive.
I saw her crazy look, so I subconsciously took two steps back, but I didn't expect Hu Dingkun, who was standing on the side, to raise his hand and block Hu Yunxi, Hu Yunxi rolled around, and rushed to my side with his teeth and claws, and was pushed by Hu Dingkun to Hu Dingqian.
Hu Dingqian hugged Hu Yunxi, his eyes unconsciously aimed at Hu Qing'an, and when he found that Hu Qing'an's face was unhappy, he grabbed Hu Yunxi and shouted: "Yunxi, you calm down, hurt her, and you will suffer in the end." ”
"You let go of me! Don't touch me! Disgusting! Hu Yunxi pointed the finger at Hu Dingqian again, last night's incident was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't overcome, she hadn't recovered from Hu Dingqian's incident, and now she was forced to accept that I was a fox clansman, so it's strange if I'm not crazy.
Hu Dingqian opened his mouth, but he was really speechless, Hu Qingan reprimanded: "Crazy, what kind of system, Dingqian, send Yunxi back first, let people look at her, she is not allowed to step out of the door half a step before she completely calms down." ”
"Yes, Grandpa." Hu Dingqian dragged Hu Yunxi away.
For a while, there were only three people left at the door, Hu Qing'an and Hu Dingkun, Hu Qing'an instructed: "Dingkun, you go to the ancestral hall to keep an eye on the point, the things that should be prepared are ready, the four girls recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors is a big deal, and they can't make mistakes at the top." ”
Hu Dingkun nodded.
Hu Qing'an took Hu Dingkun away at this time, obviously he had something to say to me alone, and I suddenly became nervous.
Sure enough, Hu Qing'an turned around on crutches and faced me, and said in a voice that was neither light nor serious: "Fourth girl, should I call you like this?" ”
I raised my eyebrows: "You can call it however you like, I don't care." ”
"Huh." Hu Qingan smiled, "I can admit that you are a fourth girl, but do you think you can get by at that level in the ancestral hall?" Just by your mortal body? ”
Yes, everyone in the fox clan has a real body, black fox, white fox, fire fox, no matter which faction they belong to, the real body is a fox, and what about me?
All I have is a body.
Recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors is a big deal, there is no evidence, those elders must verify their true identity, and when the time comes, there will be doubts, and I can't stand in the fox clan at all.
I looked at Hu Qing'an and asked rhetorically, "Grandpa really wants to recognize me, and those elders are helpless, right?" ”
"Then why should I help you like this?" Hu Qing'an asked.
It's waiting for me right here.
Hu Qing'an, an old fox, he took everyone away, and he said these words to me alone, just to negotiate conditions with me, he guaranteed me to join the fox clan, this is his bargaining chip, if I really want him to help with this, then I must show sincerity, otherwise it will be difficult for me to be in the ancestral hall later.
I'm not afraid that he will talk to me about the terms, but I am afraid that he will not talk to me, then I am afraid that he will shoot me in the back at any time.
I hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I am inseparable from Hu Dingtang, whether I do it or not, Hu Dingtang's wife, this title, I am bound to win." ”
Hu Qing'an stroked his goatee and asked me: "You know Dingtang's illness, if he can help him up, I won't be afraid to do so." ”
This is to show favor to me and Hu Dingtang, Hu Qingan is telling me that he is really helpless to give up Hu Dingtang, the key is that Hu Dingtang's illness made him make a choice of last resort, and now, as long as I am sure to help Hu Dingtang, he will still stand behind Hu Dingtang without hesitation.
I despise such behavior, but after all, he Hu Qing'an is the patriarch of the fox clan, and he is in a high position, whether it is me or Hu Dingtang, for a long time in the future, on the one hand, I will have to fight with him, and on the other hand, I will rely on his mountain to restrain others.
Therefore, I can't completely offend this person for the time being.
Thinking of this, I said: "If Hu Dingtang's illness is still cured, then I must find a way, even if he is not cured, the day I am here, it will never make his illness worsen to the point of no return." ”
Hu Qing'an nodded: "I am relieved to have your words." ”
……
We waited for half an hour before Hu Yunzhi's carriage slowly entered the old house, and even if I went up to greet him, I didn't have time to say hello to Hu Yunzhi, so I stretched out my hand and lifted the curtain and looked inside.
Hu Dingtang leaned against the wall of the carriage, wrapped in a pitch-black fur coat, his face was pale, and his spirit was not good at first glance.
I jumped into the carriage, leaned over, and reached out to shake his hand, but he retracted his hand into the big box, and his eyes didn't stay on me for half a second, and he said in a stiff tone: "What are you doing when you go and come back?" Do you think you have the ability to reach the sky? ”
"Then you don't have the ability to reach the sky, but why do you want to take me away and carry everything by yourself?" I asked him?
As I spoke, I went to pull him at the leg of his trousers, and he held it down with one hand.
Hu Dingtang's hands were cold, as if they had just been taken out of the ice cave, and I shook all over, and I couldn't help but look at him: "It's another seizure?" ”
"You go, you don't care." Hu Dingtang stubbornly chased me.
I was really laughed at by him, why is this person so stupid: "Do you think that since I dare to come back, I can still let them loosen their mouths and pick you up, I can't do it without any confidence?" ”
Hu Dingtang turned his head away, let go of his hand, and said: "I don't believe that you are my fourth sister, I don't know where you got the Holy Maiden Order, but Meng Jiusheng, I advise you not to play with fire and set yourself on fire, you can't afford the consequences." ”
I also withdrew my hand, and now I don't look at his knee, I know it in my heart, and I withdrew my hand to hold his calf, leaned my face against his knee, and said, "What worse could there be?" The worst is to die with you, if you are not afraid, how can I be afraid? ”
Hu Dingtang pulled me up, pinched my hand and hurt, he hated iron and said: "Meng Jiusheng, why don't you understand?" You are a human, not a fox, how fierce the struggle within the fox clan is, you can't imagine that your body is simply vulnerable, why do you rush forward with your head on your own? ”
"Hu Dingtang, you are wrong, I am not a fox, where did the fox Neidan in my body come from?" I asked him rhetorically.
Hu Dingtang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but outside, Hu Yunzhi gasped and said, "Third brother, it's bad, the major elders of the fox clan didn't go to the ancestral hall and came to us." ”
