Chapter 851: A Thousand People and a Thousand Faces
"Did you hear that a white horse died in the stables last night?"
"It's the master's favorite horse, tsk, I heard that the horse was taken care of by Lao Wu, tell me, who did he offend?"
"Shhhh You keep your voice quiet, dare to talk this kind of crazy talk, be careful to let people listen to it! ”
Early in the morning, the Huo family began to whisper, the strange things that happened last night were spread among them, but for the unlucky groom Lao Wu this time, everyone planned to watch coldly except for the hypocritical concern on the surface.
It's no wonder that they are too hard-hearted, it's really the character of the groom Lao Wu himself, everyone is a day person who takes a penny to do a penny, why do you actively show yourself to be hard-working in front of the master every day.
Now that the white horse is dead in a daze, the steward of the Huo family not only showed leniency to the horseman's usual hard work, but instead punished him even more for his slackness.
I can't blame the stewards for not distinguishing between black and white, the main reason is that the timing of this incident is a bit bad, Huo Yunqi has just been furious because of the matter of the black shopkeeper, and the stewards are in a state of anger, and the groom Lao Wu bumped into it himself.
However, the people who saw this, in addition to being cold-eyed, inevitably gloated a little about what happened to Lao Wu, look, you just work hard to be a dog for others, and people don't take you seriously.
In the face of the ridicule and white eyes of his colleagues, "Lao Wu" did not react, he was like a wooden fool, and accepted the punishment of the steward in full, showing his honesty as usual.
The steward looked at him like a stuffy gourd and didn't have the heart to preach, so he waved his hand casually, and let people beat each other with the rules.
So the horseman Lao Wu was pressed on the bench in full view of everyone, and let people beat the buttocks with the board twenty times.
Everyone whispered and pointed, and the horseman Lao Wu turned a blind eye, but when he silently endured the board, he suddenly saw a strange figure in the crowd.
After he was stunned for a short time, his eyes condensed slightly, and he reconfirmed that this person's appearance was not dazzling to him, but none of the surrounding Huo family members and stewards could detect the other party hidden in the crowd.
The groom raised his head and met the other party's playful and strange gaze, and for a moment, he did not feel ashamed that he was being tortured, but showed a smile that he thought was friendly, but it was not the kind of "friendliness" in the ordinary sense.
The onlookers saw the strange smile on the groom's face, and when they were surprised, they all felt that the other party was unlucky, and hurriedly left.
The steward also hurried away with the men after the execution, leaving the groom himself in the courtyard, and for a time no one came to help him.
The punishment of twenty boards is big and small, but for ordinary people, the strength of the two buddies who just executed can at least make people unable to get out of bed for half a month.
But at this moment, the groom not only stood up as if nothing happened, but also put on a reserved smile, and greeted the corner of the courtyard softly: "You are here." ”
The groom's voice fell, and a young figure appeared from behind the wooden shed in the courtyard, it was Lu Hanjiang.
He looked at the groom with great interest, especially the eyes that always skimmed away from the place where the other party was beaten, and said in surprise: "I didn't know that there were such strange people in the world, who took the identity of others, and even replaced this board together." ”
The words were harsh, but the horseman looked happy, he smiled: "Zi Fei Fish, the joy of knowing the fish, since I borrowed his name and surname, then I should naturally inherit his causal gains and losses, now, I am him, I am the little horseman of the Huo family, the next person makes a mistake, and the steward will put it on the board, isn't it natural?" ”
Lu Hanjiang stroked his palms and shook his head, and made an approving voice beside the empty side: "Na, do you see it, this is called professional." ”
As he spoke, the masked Huangfu Xiaoyuan quietly appeared next to him, and the hand on the hilt of the sword did not let go at all, obviously ready to turn his face.
In the face of Huangfu Xiaoyuan's silent warning, the horseman was not afraid, and he said indifferently: "The two of you have always been the same as me, why don't you sit down and talk?" ”
Ma Fu was not worried about exposing himself, his words made it clear that Che Ma told the two that he was coming for the Huo family, and he did not shy away from naming him, and he also saw the other party's thoughts.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess, only when you are in the bureau will you be blind, and there are a lot of eccentricities about Boss Zhu, such as how this person, who was ordinary a few years ago, got the help of the court, and why he came all the way to the eastern capital to help the Huo family.
After thinking about it, what Boss Zhu did did and the reasons he gave did not match it at all, the more people who have ghosts in their hearts, the more they can see the half-heartedness of others, this horseman, or rather, Gongsun Huan is like this.
"Oh?" Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. knows what the two of us are here for?" ”
"The left and right are inseparable from the Huo family."
Gongsun Huan stopped at the point, but his next words were a little unpredictable, and he didn't have a deeper conversation according to common sense after pointing out his identity.
"It's fate for us to meet, and my identity is nothing special, so it doesn't hurt to tell the two of you." Unexpectedly, Gongsun Huan took out a miserable white mask and put it on, and he directly showed his identity with his actions.
"It's . I see, you are the Thousand Faces Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect. ”
Lu Hanjiang said intentionally: "But I heard that the martial arts of the Thousand Faces Dharma King are unfathomable, and Your Excellency's ability seems to be different from the rumors." ”
Although the rumored Thousand Faces Dharma King is not as powerful as the Youyun Dharma King, his martial arts have also reached the realm of transformation, and Lu Hanjiang can see at a glance that his martial arts are not as good as Huangfu Xiaoyuan, let alone the top of the rivers and lakes.
"The King of Thousand Faces, under this name, there are thousands of people and thousands of faces, above the rivers and lakes, the King of Thousand Faces has a thousand faces, I am just one of them, don't doubt the two." Gongsun Huan said lightly.
"That's just as well."
Lu Hanjiang did not doubt the authenticity of the other party's words, but in fact it was unnecessary, he was curious about the person of the other party, not the identity that the other party might have, so whether the other party was the real Thousand Faces Dharma King or not, it had no effect.
It's just that Gongsun Huan's next words made Lu Hanjiang a little confused.
"Thousands of people and thousands of faces, as long as you wear this mask, no matter who you are, you can become the guardian of the Xuantian Sect, I don't know if Your Excellency has any intentions?"
Gongsun Huan's words were amazing, Lu Hanjiang listened to the meaning of the other party's words, could it be that he was soliciting him?
"I do have some interest in the Huo family, but after staying here for a long time, I can't help but feel a little bored," Gongsun Huan said, took off his mask and handed it to Lu Hanjiang, and sent out an invitation: "Let's change, how about it?" ”
