Chapter 6: The Great General
Half a day later, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade coat and wearing a fur hat walked into the meeting hall, at this time the meeting hall was full of village backbones, and the father was sitting in the middle, and when he saw the middle-aged man coming in, he immediately ordered someone to give him a seat.
This person's name is Wu Chang'an, he has an ordinary appearance, he is also cautious in what he says and does on weekdays, and never expresses his emotions easily, but he is often this kind of forbearant person, and he should be most vigilant.
"Daddy, I heard that Cheap is injured?"
The middle-aged man pretended to ask questions, which made Daddy's face a little embarrassed.
"Master Wu, young people have no sense of proportion, please forgive me. ”
"Oh, who doesn't know the relationship between Daddy and Fu Li, you have always regarded him as your own, since you have spoken, I won't say much. ”
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and showed a smile on his face. This kind of person is the most terrifying, he hides a knife in his smile, and sure enough, before his father can speak, he takes out a letter from his arms.
"Dad, the supplies of the underworld have not been supplied recently, and the jewelry, gold and silver can no longer be exchanged for food, I'm afraid we will run out of food. ”
This news was not news at all in the old days when there was no food, but now that everyone has become accustomed to a well-fed life, everyone in the council hall began to talk to each other and make a mess.
"Quiet. ”
The old man's voice was like the sound of an ancient bell, and the meeting hall was instantly silent. The old man stretched out his hand and motioned for the middle-aged man to continue.
"Now Hades is in need of a group of children to do labor, we might as well ......"
Daddy's face was more ugly than ever, and he knew it wasn't that simple.
"Shut up, Master Wu, this kind of thing will not be mentioned again in the future"
Dad couldn't stop coughing violently, only to see a sharp bend over, a mouthful of black blood, spit in front of him. The expressions on everyone's faces were subtle at this time.
Daddy is indeed getting weaker and weaker, as the backbone of their fight against Hades, if Daddy is gone, their best choice is to compromise with Hades. It just so happens that Master Wu is currently the best person to communicate with the underworld. As a result, the people in power in the village looked at Master Wu one after another.
"That's all for today, Daddy is not feeling well, and I'll call you again at another date. ”
When Daddy's attendant saw that Daddy was seriously ill, he immediately picked up Daddy and retreated to the back hall.
Daddy took a few pills, eased up a little, and then stretched out his hand to signal the attendant.
"Go and bring me Fu Li. ”
After a while, Fu Li, who was wearing shackles, was brought in.
When Fu Li saw his father's haggard appearance, he couldn't help but feel a heartache, and hurriedly asked.
"Daddy, are you alright," he couldn't help but bite his lip, "I'm sorry, Daddy, I shouldn't have ......"
"Good ......"
Fu Li suddenly looked up with a questioning face, only to see a rare smile on the old man's face. He hadn't seen his dad smile so much in years......
"Xiaoli, you're only nineteen years old, and when I'm your age, I'm much crazier than you. The old man had a warm smile on his face, and his deep eyes seemed to have returned to the past
"Here's to you. ”
The old man ejected a gold silk bag from his bosom, which seemed to contain a brand
"Daddy?"
Fu Li pulled out the brand from the bag, only to see a gold medal shining in the dim light.
The gold medal is rectangular, surrounded by carved dragon patterns, and a unicorn tiger is powerful on the back, and on the front of the brand, the three words "General" make people a little breathless.
Fu Li looked at the gold medal in his hand and was stunned, this is an official order of the Hades, and it is owned by the person who symbolizes the highest combat power of the Hades.
Fu Li knew that his father was an official of the Hades, but he never thought that he would be such a powerful figure, you know, there are only three great generals in the entire Hades Empire, and they are the three largest cities in the Hades - Santu River, Black Swamp County and Xijing.
"Take it, and it will be useful in the future. ”
Fu Li put the gold medal in his arms in a trance, and his father immediately said.
"It's the Yuehua Festival in a few days, you can go to Xijing for me, and give this to the boss of Ruyi Building......"
The old man took out a delicate wooden box from his bosom, and when he spoke of Ruyi Lou, there was infinite amazement in his words.
"Remember, be sure to hand him over and tell her ......"
"What are you talking about?" Fu Li couldn't help but ask when he saw that his father didn't speak for a long time.
The old man's withered eyes seemed to be a little moist, but he quickly hid them, and he straightened his clothes and said.
"Forget it, don't say anything......"
"Proceed with caution, pay attention to safety, and leave tonight, this shackle is not a problem, right?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Fu Li's mouth, he didn't know how many times he had done this kind of thing to escape from prison.
"Haha, it's a trifle. ”
After arranging everything properly, the old man glanced at Fu Li, and then coughed lightly, and Fu Li immediately put away his smile.
"Someone, take Fu Li down. ”
When Fu Li was leaving, he looked back again and found that his father was looking at him in a daze...... Unconsciously, his nose suddenly became a little sour, and he faintly felt in his heart that something was about to happen......
"Xiaoyu, Xiaohu, Xiaoan. In the quiet of the village, Fu Lizheng cat was under a window, calling softly
The dilapidated wooden window was pushed open, and a small head popped out to look around.
The boy poked his head out from under the window
"Xiaoyu, why are you alone, Xiaohu Xiao'an. ”
"Today they are on guard, Brother Fu Li, you sneaked out again, Daddy knows it's time to be angry again. ”
Seeing Fu Li, Xiaoyu was naturally very happy, but she was also a little worried. The atmosphere in the village has been a bit strange lately, and even a child like her can feel it.
"Xiaoyu, I'm going to Xijing soon. ”
Hearing the word Xijing, Xiaoyu immediately pulled Fu Li.
"Xijing ......" Xiaoyu was a little speechless, she only knew that it was the center of the underworld, and it was a place where people who were more terrifying than "demons" lived.
It's okay, don't worry, it's the Yuehua Festival in a few days, and I'll buy candy and come back for you to eat. ”
There was a trace of doubt in Xiaoyu's immature eyes, as if she had pricked Fu Li's heart. Looking at the thin girl in front of her, Fu Li realized that she hadn't eaten sugar at all.
"It's just something delicious, waiting for me. ”
"Hmm. Xiaoyu's eyes were full of anticipation, and she nodded heavily, which made Fu Li feel a little emotional. He pressed his hand on Xiao Yu's head and gently stroked her hair.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can go to sleep. ”
Fu Li waited until the window was closed before turning his head away, and his light body left the village without anyone noticing. Standing in the moonlight, Fu Li turned his head and forgot to glance at Huangquan Village, the silent village was surrounded by mountains, he touched the official order and the wooden box in his arms, the blood-colored moonlight reflected his silver hair, and also reflected the cunning fox face on his waist......
