Chapter 61 I am a good man, but the world is unfair
In the middle of the night, the wind rose in the capital.
This is the tenth day that Hu Fei has been hunted down.
He is from the rivers and lakes, from a terrifying sect in the rivers and lakes - the ghost sect.
The ghost faction is said to have originated from the Guigu faction in the pre-Qin period, and the Guigu faction has developed to this day, and countless small sects have been born, but the ghost faction has become the most conspicuous branch at the moment, not because of anything else, but Nangong Yan, the former head of the ghost faction.
When Nangong Yan first inherited the ghost faction, he was only in his early twenties, and he was promiscuous, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling day and night, almost losing the ghost faction.
After a few years, the ghost sect owed more and more debts, and many disciples of the ghost sect gradually left, and the ghost sect almost ceased to exist, leaving only an empty shell.
It wasn't until Nangong Yan was thirty years old that he met a mysterious painter from Jingshi and painted a picture for him, and he suddenly woke up, not only quitting all the bad habits on his body, but also made up his mind to revive the ghost sect.
Nangong Yan is very good at using the way of people, he has carried out several major reforms in the ghost faction, such as re-selecting the candidates for the four elders of the ghost faction, and hiring people from the rivers and lakes to come to the ghost faction, regardless of their background, everyone who is selected will have a heavy reward, but in the same way, if they fail to complete the task of the ghost faction, they will be punished accordingly.
Nangong Yan is an unscrupulous person who does not achieve his goal, which is very similar to Nangong Wushuang, he studies poisons, assassinations, tricks, temptations, all the weaknesses of human nature, all of which are mastered by him.
The thunder fire researched by the ghost sect is also a must, even though some Jianghu sects may surpass the ghost sect in martial arts cultivation, but in terms of intrigue or side doors, they may not be able to play the ghost faction.
By undertaking various black and white tasks, the ghost faction has accumulated a lot of wealth and began to become famous in the rivers and lakes, but in the same way, there are countless people in the rivers and lakes who hate the ghost faction.
Nangong Yan only married his wife when he was forty years old, and when he died of illness at the age of sixty-five, his only son Nangong Wushuang was only fourteen years old. Perhaps it was the guilt before death, Nangong Yan didn't want a person with the same indifferent personality as him to be the head before he died, so he intended to let the youngest and most outstanding Elder Nan in the ghost sect, Hu Fei, inherit his position as the head of the house.
But what he didn't expect was that when he first proposed these ideas, he was turned against by the people of the ghost faction.
For them, intrigues and tricks have become commonplace, and if they are not allowed to use this means to obtain wealth, they are not used to it, so they try their best to protect Nangong Yan's son Nangong Wushuang.
In desperation, Nangong Yan had no choice but to set a rule, if anyone can obtain the treasure of the previous dynasty, who can inherit the position of the head, but when Hu Fei went to Beijing to find the hanging painting, Nangong Yan died suddenly, and the ghost faction took this opportunity to quietly elect Nangong Wushuang as the new head.
Naturally, Hu Fei became a thorn in their side.
That day, after Hu Fei left the Shen Mansion, the people of the Ghost Sect had been following him to the death, and even sent the two elders of the Ghost Sect, Elder East and Elder South.
This familiar and unfamiliar life gave Hu Fei a feeling of returning to the rivers and lakes, hiding in the city of Beijing during the day, and hiding in caves or dilapidated temples near Beijing at night.
East Elder Liu He and North Elder Yun Gu bit him very tightly, but they never completely killed him. There are four elders in the ghost sect, which are the major elders of the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Elder Liu He of the East is good at refining poison, and Elder Yun Gu of the South is very good at playing the Changyun Whip with one hand.
For Hu Fei, the reason why he fled was not because of anything else, but because he couldn't die until now. He had seen the worst human tragedy, how could he die?
A big knife, dressed in black, Hu Fei clenched his fists tightly against the night wind, the prejudice and injustice of the world, like a big mountain, has been tightly pressed on Hu Fei's chest, Xiaohe Village, Qinwang Mountain, outside Jinling City, because of the thirty taels of silver that his uncle lost, and the rumored adultery between his uncle and his mother, the villagers of Xiaohe Village burned his mother and uncle alive when he went out, he still remembers his mother's eyes at that time, she said with force: "Hurry up!" Come on! β
Day and night, Hu Fei was tormented by these eyes, the first half of the night was the warmth of his mother's cooking when he opened the door, and the second half of the night was the tragic state of his mother's whole body being burned.
When he was ten years old, Hu Fei went away from home, with a deep hatred of blood, and the stubborn young man knelt at the door of the ghost faction, his hard body and stubborn eyes moved Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan not only taught him kung fu in person, but also accepted him as a righteous son.
Hu Fei grew up in the jungle since he was a child, his father was a hunter, and gave him a lot of hunting methods and skills, but when Hu Fei was seven years old, his father went to the mountains and never came back, but the spirit of the hunter was transmitted to Hu Fei's bones, he learned everything quickly, and his natural agility and wisdom made his peers unreachable.
In just a few years, Hu Fei has grown into a martial arts master, and the tasks he performs have never gone wrong, and soon, he was promoted by Nangong Yan to become the youngest elder of the ghost sect.
It's just that he didn't expect to be involved in such a sectarian power struggle.
Seeing that Elder East and Elder North were pressing on him step by step, the two of them should have recognized Nangong Wushuang as the new leader, Hu Fei laughed secretly in his heart, Nangong Yan had only been dead for a long time, but no one in the ghost sect had obeyed his last words.
The east head and the south head of the south surrounded Hu Fei in the north and south, and he stood between the two of them, slowly pulling the big knife behind him from his back into his hand, it seemed that he was not going to escape.
"In such a hurry, you're going to kill me?" Hu Fei's face was a little gloomy in the night, as if this was the real him.
Yun Gu took his Changyun whip and said to Hu Fei: "We were just ordered to take you back to the Ghost Sect, and we didn't want to kill your fellow disciples, not to mention that you didn't break any door rules." β
Yun Gu is the oldest among the four elders of the ghost faction, she watched this young man grow step by step, she knew that Nangong Yan would eventually choose him as the head of the ghost faction, because although Hu Fei had a deep hatred of blood, he still had a pure heart in his heart, and Nangong Yan also understood before he died that only a person with a benevolent heart could be the head of the ghost faction, and the current battle for the head of the sect was not what Yun Gu wanted to see.
"Since I haven't violated the door rules, after I'm done with things, I'll go back to the ghost faction." Hu Fei replied coldly.
"Hu Fei, this is the master's order, I hope you can understand." Yun Gu said in a hurry, "When you return to the Ghost Sect, I will naturally give you an explanation, and you can also continue to be your Elder Nan." β
"Boss?" Hu Fei snorted coldly, "The head you are talking about shouldn't be Wushuang, right?" β
"Since ancient times, the son has inherited his father's business, and there is nothing to say." Elder Dong said loudly on the side, "As long as you are willing to go back with us, I promise that I will never embarrass you." β
Hu Fei raised the big knife in front of his eyes and said, "You two can go up together to save some time." β
The two sides immediately fought, in terms of knife techniques, Liu He and Yun Gu were not his opponents, only after dozens of moves, Liu He was already physically exhausted, Hu Fei's big knife was accurate and ruthless, and it shook his arm, instantly making his entire right hand numb, and he couldn't exert his strength.
The same is true for Yun Gu, she uses the Changyun Whip, with the power of thunder and fire, she is notoriously ruthless in the rivers and lakes, but Hu Fei slightly used her internal force, and Yun Gu's Changyun Whip was shocked out, Yun Gu sighed in her heart, this Hu Fei's internal strength has increased a lot.
Hu Fei quickly put the knife away, his hair stood up high in the night, his eyes were like a lone wolf in the grassland, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Let Nangong Wushuang come, none of you are my opponents." β
Elder Dong was angry, and planned to use the poison dart hidden in the cuffs, but after being seen by Yun Gu, he immediately stopped it and reprimanded, "Have you forgotten the rules of the ghost faction? We can't poison our own people. β
"Hmph, is he still one of his own?" Liu He said this in his mouth, but he still put away the poison dart.
When Hu Fei heard this, he suddenly jumped into the air and flew to the eaves above their heads, and he said to Elder Dong: "I will solve your poison, so you don't have to work in vain." β
This word was like a volley, making Liu He speechless in an instant, he had always been proud of the poison he deserved, and he thought that no one in the world could solve many poisons, but at this time, Hu Fei's contemptuous look made Liu He's head numb, and he finally realized that this person was terrible and unfathomable, no wonder, before Nangong Yan died, he insisted on making him the head.
Hu Fei didn't want to deal with them too much, he lifted his breath and disappeared into the night in an instant, thinking in his heart that he had to get some food and medicine before going back to the cave.
He skillfully ran along the streets of Kyoshi, but it didn't take long for him to find that he was being followed and surrounded.
A group of people dressed in silver military uniforms were armed with bows and crossbows, and they surrounded him tightly, and Hu Fei saw their clothes and instantly guessed their identities.
"Just leave like this, don't you feel like you owe something?" Shen Muzhou stepped forward and said, he is dressed in silver today, and under the night of the Jingshi, he looks majestic, presumably if anyone has such a son, they will be extremely proud.
"Only when I'm gone can Xitong gain innocence." When Hu Fei thought of Shen Xitong, he felt distressed and guilty in his heart, and he continued, "If I catch the person who spreads rumors, I will definitely not let him have a good time. β
Shen Muzhou looked at Hu Fei and didn't speak, he seemed to be deliberately observing Hu Fei.
"What else is going on with General Shen?" Hu Fei asked, if it was for Shen Xitong, Shen Muzhou really didn't have to make such a big move.
"Outside Jinling City, Qin Wangshan, Xiaohe Village," Shen Muzhou said very slowly, he deliberately observed Hu Fei's reaction after hearing it, and sure enough, after Hu Fei heard it, his expression became more and more serious, and his eyes were firmly fixed in the direction of Shen Muzhou.
"One hundred and twenty lives, you did it, and you did not hesitate to kill the entire village in order to avenge the blood of your mother and uncle." Shen Muzhou suddenly asked sharply.
"What human life? Are you saying that all the people in Xiaohe Village are dead? No, it can't be, it's absolutely impossible? Hu Fei's heart suddenly went crazy, and he asked almost tremblingly, those people can't die, can't die.
"You didn't do it?" Shen Muzhou took a step forward and continued to ask sharply.
Hu Fei's eyes became blood-red, his jaw was very sharp, he seemed to think of some painful past, and said in a cold voice: "Back then, I saw the people of Xiaohe Village burn my mother and my uncle to death, just for the thirty taels of silver lost from selling rice, some people spread rumors about the two of them, and then these villagers burned them in the name of so-called adultery, and I dreamed of avenging them. Hu Fei greatly recalled these painful pasts.
He suddenly turned his face away, and continued: "After I returned from learning martial arts in the Ghost Sect, I saw that they were a group of defenseless people, and the village chief who executed my mother and uncle back then was already dead, so I hesitated and only buried the bones of the two of them again, General Shen, if I had killed him, I would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now." β
Shen Muzhou saw his expression and had already determined that the murderer was not Hu Fei, he stepped forward and said: "There are two roads in front of you now, one is the endless pursuit, you continue to live the same life as the prey, one hundred and twenty lives in Xiaohe Village, you are the most suspicious, presumably there will be more and more people chasing you in the future, including the government." β
"What about the other one?" Hu Fei clenched his fists and asked, he wanted to guess what he wanted to do from Shen Muzhou's eyes.
"You help me do something, and after you do it, you go to be the head of your ghost faction, and I promise that no one will dare to hunt you down in the future." There was a strange light in Shen Muzhou's eyes, and the moment he came to the Shen Mansion from Hu Fei, he was thinking about how to use this person.
Hu Fei put the big knife on his body and replied: "I have no interest in the position of the head of the house, and I don't want to participate in the battle of the court, let alone be your pawn." "Shen Muzhou is a first-class chess player, Hu Fei knows it, he looks at himself now, it's like looking at a chess piece.
"Nangong Yan entrusted the ghost faction to you before he died, you should take this responsibility, not to mention, this thing I asked you to do is also related to the safety of Xitong, if you care about Xitong, you should agree to my conditions." If Hu Fei has a weakness, it can only be Xitong, and in desperation, Shen Muzhou had to move out of her.
Hearing Shen Xitong's name, Hu Fei's heartstrings seemed to be tugged at, and he suddenly asked, "Who killed those people?" β
Seeing that Shen Muzhou didn't answer, Hu Fei continued to ask, "Is that the person?"
"I'm not sure, but Nangong Wushuang is indeed very suspicious, I promise you, I will find out this matter for you. Nangong Wushuang of the Ghost Sect inherited Nangong Yan's peerless and cold-blooded ruthlessness, he has no benevolence, and the Ghost Sect will be lost in his hands sooner or later. Shen Muzhou looked at Hu Fei's eyes and replied.
"What do you want me to do?" Hu Fei asked, seemingly giving up his resistance.
"You go to the palace to ban the silver fox team, monitor the movements of the palace for me, once there is a coup d'Γ©tat, you have to ensure that the crown prince Jinglan can ascend to the throne." Shen Muzhou said in Hu Fei's ear.
"Why don't you send someone else?" Hearing Shen Muzhou's arrangement, Hu Fei was very surprised.
"Because I believe that you have this ability, I will return to the northwest soon, I am very worried about the change of the government, not to mention that the people of the Pei family want to support Jing Yu, and even the second prince Jing Yuan is secretly doing some tricks. The dignity of the throne is what everyone wants to yearn for, and I can't let Jinglan have a trace of surprise. Shen Muzhou replied.
"You support him so much, does he know about it?" Hu Fei asked.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not for myself, I'm for the world, Jingyu is the most suitable person to ascend to the throne of God, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for 700 years, there should be an emperor who comes out to recuperate and create a peaceful and prosperous world."
Shen Muzhou's words, like an alarm bell suddenly ringing in the middle of the night, slammed into Hu Fei's mind, can the peaceful and prosperous world really come as he said?
