Chapter 414: Repaying the Favor (I)
"It turns out that you were the one who saved me at the glacier last night...... Hu Yidi—" Canglong looked directly at Hu Yidi and said slowly.
Hu Yidi withdrew the silver knife in his hand and slowly walked in the direction of Canglong, but his eyes were still the same as before, and there was not much contrast like Canglong.
"I saved Canglong Hero yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet ...... today" After a long time, Hu Yidi slowly spoke.
Canglong was still not very relieved, stretched out his hand to let Fang Ying stand back, and then asked, "Why did you save me last night?"
Hu Yidi walked to the distance of Canglong Wuzhang and stopped, and then said calmly: "Hu Mou went south this time, originally wanted to meet the martial arts masters in the Central Plains, and it is rumored that in recent days, the Canglong heroes in the border pass have been reborn, so I want to meet with them." Unexpectedly, when I came to Juming City, I encountered the attack on the Canglong hero of the Qiyuan Restaurant......"
"Yesterday at Qiyuan Restaurant, you were also there?" Canglong said with a frown.
"That's right, it's just that I saw that Canglong Daxia didn't fall behind, so I didn't come to the rescue...... Hu Yidi continued, "Later, I saw Canglong Daxia and you chased you outside the city alone, but you encountered a glacier trap at night, so Hu Mou came to help......"
"If that's the case, I've thanked Brother Hu in the next place......" Seeing that Hu Yidi had no malice and explained the reason for yesterday, Canglong was relieved.
However, although Hu Yidi's tone softened, he didn't seem to want to end there, and he continued: "You thank me? Hmph, I still have to blame you-"
"Blame me—what's the blame?" Canglong asked knowingly.
Hu Yidi continued: "When I came to this restaurant today, Hu had something important to do. It's just that I accidentally met the dragon hero again...... I wanted to take this opportunity to meet, but I didn't expect you to ruin my good deeds—"
"Oh, I didn't intend to come to this restaurant to rest today, how could I deliberately spoil Brother Hu's good deeds?" Canglong asked again.
Hu Yidi smiled softly. Then he asked, "Do you know who those people you 'saved' from me just now?"
"Who is it?" Canglong asked dryly.
"They are all thieves who are making trouble in this area!" Hu Yidi said sharply, "It is said that in Juming City and even in the border area, thieves have been rampant in recent days, and the government has turned a blind eye. Finally, the beggars took action to deal with this matter, and it stands to reason that the beggars will be terrified if the ordinary thieves make a move. But there are still thieves in this area, and I don't understand why...... This morning, I stumbled upon something wrong. So I followed those minions all the way to this point, but I didn't expect them to hide the stolen money in this restaurant......"
"So, the silver they dropped just now ......" Canglong seemed to know something, so he continued.
"That's right. According to my investigation. This restaurant is where their stolen goods are hidden-" Hu Yidi continued, "I finally followed them all the way here, and found out some incidents, but I didn't expect to be about to ask for details, but you were disturb......ed by you, the Dragon Hero," Hu Yidi's tone was obviously reproachful.
"In this case, Brother Hu is going to blame me...... However, Brother Hu's method just now. Obviously, he wanted to take their lives, did he really want to ask the details?" Canglong asked again.
Hu Yidi listened. With a nonchalant face, he said: "Hmph, we people from the Western Regions have always acted decisively and never hesitated. It's hard to find some clues today, but you have broken it off with Canglong Hero, you have to repay some losses...... But just now you and I had a martial arts competition, Canglong Hero, your martial arts are indeed as the world says, the world's heroes, it seems that it is not easy to ask you for some repayment......"
"If it's really because of Zaixia's unintentionality, he has hindered Brother Hu and fueled the rampant wind of thieves, Zaixia must want to ......repay it as much as possible," Canglong stood up straight and said righteously, "But before that, Brother Hu, you have to tell me that the thieves in this area are rampant, what happened." Only by figuring this out can I help you, and by the way, save your life yesterday—"
Hu Yidi saw Canglong's unwavering eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, Canglong Daxia really still has a righteous and awe-inspiring wind, okay, I'll tell you the details behind these things......"
So, Hu Yidi told all the details of the rampant thieves in this area. Canglong also listened carefully, and Fang Ying couldn't leave Canglong's side at this time, so he had to listen to it together......
Orchid Courtyard ......
It was already noon, but Canglong and Fang Ying hadn't come back yet, but everyone didn't seem particularly anxious, after all, with Canglong by Fang Ying's side, they were also very relieved.
In the backyard, Huang Ji treated some people who came to see the doctor, and took care of Nini again when he had nothing to do afterwards; "The three hip-hop brothers" naturally needless to say, Canglong had instructed them before that they were not allowed to run around, and the three brothers had nothing to do, so they went around the yard in the morning, not daring to step out of the courtyard; and although Hongyun also had no important affairs, she was good at cooking, and she could still cook lunch, and it didn't take long for the smell of food to waft out of the kitchen......
This Hongyun's cooking skills are indeed good, and when the smoke rises, the fragrance wafts for ten miles. No, the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" are not honest, they were bored all morning, and their stomachs were hungry, so they slowly groped and sneaked into the kitchen. In the kitchen, Hongyun was still concentrating on cooking, and there were already pre-prepared dishes on the table next to him. Haha saw it, saliva was about to flow out, thinking that Hongyun hadn't noticed, so he wanted to reach out and taste it secretly.
However, at the moment when Haha stretched out his hand, Hongyun slashed over with a kitchen knife, almost scaring Haha half to death, and then, Hongyun's resentful eyes looked over. The "Three Hip Hop Brothers" were also frightened by Hongyun's eyes, and the three brothers were stunned and motionless behind Hongyun.
Seeing this, Hongyun asked coldly, "What do you want to do?"
Hippie scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "No...... It's nothing, it's just for Miss Hongyun that you taste the heat of the food in place......"
However, before the words fell, Hongyun looked at the cutting board with a knife again, and said coldly: "Who wants you to move? If you dare to move, don't blame this girl for not recognizing people......" After speaking, Hongyun picked up another kitchen knife. Sliced heavily on the cutting board, side by side with the previous one. The two kitchen knives flashed cold light at the same time, and when the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" saw it, the thief's heart disappeared instantly......
was kicked out of the kitchen, haha cursed: "Really, what's the spirit, this woman doesn't know any martial arts." If you take a kitchen knife, you'll scare people—"
"Then you just pretended to be so scared, like your grandson?" Ado asked, sneering.
"You guy. Tired of living?" Haha saw that Ado was laughing at himself, just like lifting the short Ado with both hands, and teaching him a good lesson.
But Ardor was short and went around the chassis at haha. I was stunned and didn't know where to start. Addo continued to scoff, "Hmph. Dead fat, trying to catch me, there is no door!"
"You-" Haha became more and more angry the more he listened, and he wanted to throw Addo on the roof immediately. But although they were noisy, these were the usual greetings of the three brothers, and the three brothers were not surprised.
Seeing that the two of them were endlessly beside her, Hippie stopped and said, "Okay, you two are not done yet." The eldest brother confessed before, before he came back. We can't afford to mess up. The eldest brother takes care of the Red Cloud girl so much, if you can save it, you can save it, don't look at the Red Cloud girl who doesn't know martial arts, there are many people in this world who don't know martial arts, and they are much better mixed than those who know martial arts......"
"But then again, Miss Hongyun is very fierce, but this cooking skill is good......" Haha praised Hongyun Dao in turn, "The porridge she made this morning is really delicious, I want to drink it again at noon......"
"Hmph, dead fatty, you know how to eat all day—" Addo whispered again.
"Grandson Turtle, what did you just say?" Haha still heard it, and it seemed that he was going to raise the bar with Ado.
"Eh, you see, the leader of the Ge gang is here-" When the three brothers were greeting, at the gate of the Lanxiang courtyard, the leader of the beggar gang Ge Wei walked into the courtyard at this time, and looking at his appearance, he was here to find Huang Ji.
Due to the long distance, the three brothers did not take the initiative to greet Ge Wei. And Ge Wei seemed to have something to mention, and walked to the backyard without bias, so it seems that Ge Wei is right to come to find Huang Ji.
Huang Ji was still taking care of Nini in the backyard, and when he saw Ge Wei coming, Huang Ji immediately got up and said, "Father-in-law, you're here-"
"Ji'er, are you okay this morning?" Ge Wei saw that Huang Ji was very idle today, so he asked first.
"It's okay, father-in-law, just helped with some patients. Brother Canglong took Sister Ying out early in the morning, so there was nothing important......" Huang Ji said with a smile, "It's you, father-in-law, yesterday my father-in-law said that there is something important to explain to Ji'er, right?" Listening to Huang Ji's tone, he was in a good mood today.
Ge Wei nodded, and then continued: "Ji'er, listen well, you agreed to let you come to my side because something happened in Bianliang and I found the whereabouts of the Ghost King Master again...... But today, I have an important task for you. ”
"What task, father-in-law?" asked Huang Ji with a smile.
"This task is more dangerous, but with him, you and his martial arts are so high, it shouldn't be ......fine," Ge Wei continued, "I want Ji Er to accompany the Canglong Hero to escort Fang Ying, the daughter of Fang Zhongtianfang, the head of Yixian Sect, back to the mountain——"
"Is it true, father-in-law?" asked Huang Ji happily. In fact, Ge Wei didn't mention it, Huang Ji himself wanted to do it. It wasn't for other reasons, Huang Ji just wanted to stay with Fang Ying all the time.
Ge Wei nodded, and then continued: "When Miss Fang's injuries are healed, you can leave here first with Canglong Hero...... There are still some things here in Juming City, and my father-in-law can't go with you yet. I know that the person who is eyeing the girl above this time has a close connection with your enemy ghost king, and the reason why I asked you to accompany Canglong Daxia is to promise the promise to Canglong Daxia, and secondly, to reduce your danger. If you run into someone from the Ghost King Master again, you have to be extremely careful—remember, if the Ghost King Master himself doesn't go to the road himself, Ji'er, you must not chase after the remnants of the enemy—"
"Well, father-in-law, Ji'er remembered-" Huang Ji nodded in agreement. After last night's pranayama, talking about his enemy, Huang Ji is obviously much calmer.
"I also know that the Ghost King Master is scheming, I'm afraid that Ji'er and you and Canglong Daxia will also encounter accidents, but there shouldn't be much of a problem in ...... short term," Ge Wei continued, "When you leave the border pass and arrive in Henan, the righteous father's side and the people from the beggar gang will send people to support ......."
"Okay, father-in-law, don't worry, I will protect Sister Ying-" Huang Ji replied confidently, and then saw that Ge Wei looked a little uncertain, so he asked again, "Father-in-law, is there anything else?"
"Oh, no...... No more......" Ge Wei came back to his senses and replied with some slurring.
However, this inadvertent move still made Huang Ji notice, and Huang Ji secretly felt that his father-in-law was hiding something from him......
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Helper, I found it, I found the clue-"
It turned out that it was a disciple of the beggar gang who came to report some situation of the gang leader Ge Wei, and the disciple ran straight to the backyard and immediately said: "Gang leader Ge, it is true that as you and Xue Daxia guessed before, the thieves in Juming City are rampant, and there is something strange afterwards——"
It seems that this information is good news, but when Ge Wei heard it, he turned around and reproached: "Hey-" Immediately after, Ge Wei also turned around and waved in the direction of Huang Ji - it turned out that Huang Ji was in this place, and Ge Wei didn't seem to want to let Huang Ji know about this matter from the beginning.
But Huang Ji still knew, after he heard the news, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he withdrew the smile on his face, and only asked: "What's going on, father-in-law, didn't you say before that there was no problem with the thieves in Juming City?"
Ge Wei saw that Huang Ji was still suspicious, so he immediately shook his hand and drove away the subordinates who came to report the news, and then slowly turned around, and said with some reluctance: "In short, Ji'er, there is indeed a little situation in Juming City...... But it doesn't have much to do with it, it doesn't affect you Ji'er, and it has nothing to do with Miss Fang. When Miss Fang recovers from her injury, you can go south with Canglong Daxia and them, and you don't care about the affairs here......"
However, after Huang Ji heard this, he resolutely said: "No, I won't go-"
"What did you say?" Ge Wei turned his head and asked after listening to Huang Ji's words.
Huang Ji still said firmly: "Father-in-law, you have something to hide from me, and there are other strange things about the thieves in Juming City. The matter here is not dealt with, Ji'er will not leave, Ji'er wants to accompany your father-"
"Why are you still so willful, this kid?" Ge Wei inadvertently reprimanded, "I have raised you for so many years, and you are still so disobedient?" Hello Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, I, the leader of the beggar gang, once objected, but then I still agreed to you; I was afraid that I would not be at ease if you wanted to practice medicine alone outside, but I also agreed to you; you had an accident in Bianliang, and you risked your life and said that you would go back to me to find your enemy together, and I still agreed to you...... Now I don't let you get involved in so many things anymore, you are still so willful, you say what do you want me to do with you? If your parents are still alive, seeing your willful appearance, you ......" Speaking of this, Ge Wei seemed to realize that he was speaking too much, his fingers stopped in mid-air, and paused.
mentioned Huang Ji's parents, Huang Ji naturally felt heartache for a moment. However, in the face of his father-in-law who had raised him for eighteen years, Huang Ji still held back. "It is precisely because you are my stepfather who has raised me for so many years that I decided to stay......" After a moment of silence, Huang Ji finally spoke, "Father-in-law, I have grown up and know more things...... I know it's for my own good that you don't let me meddle in this matter. But I don't want to live in confusion anymore under the protection of my father-in-law and Uncle Xue, I have grown up, and it is time for me to really face a lot of things...... This time, I will stay, just as I am filial to your father-in-law, and solve this matter for you......" After speaking, Huang Ji's eyes gradually became deeper, and he was already firm in his heart, and he would never leave Juming City until he found out the matter of Juming City.
"You kid, you're still so willful—hey......" Ge Wei was embarrassed to say anything more, he sighed helplessly and shook his head, then turned around and slowly left. And Huang Ji kept looking at the back of his stepfather, and ...... with Nini
"Ji'er, have you really grown up......" Ge Wei walked to the gate of the courtyard and said secretly in his heart...... (To be continued......)
