Chapter XXXVIII: Accountability (II)
In the garden pavilion, only Ji Hou and Gui Wei were left.
Gui Weichi looked at this high-ranking elder and said with a smile: "I thought you came here after worshipping your ancestors, why are you so anxious now, and you can't help it in a few days?"
Seeing that he spoke casually, it was obvious that the friendship between the two of them was extraordinary.
Ji Hou also sighed and said, "It's not that the girl of Red Lotus suddenly shouted to run over, probably to help that Yin He." I happened to be idle today, so I just came over in advance to have a look. ”
Gui Weichi smiled and didn't speak, but Ji Hou frowned and said, "I think this Yin He has good qualifications, and he is from a family, not to mention that he is still Yin Yang's younger brother." Why did you arrange such a position for him? If I hadn't known you for a long time, I would have thought that you were deliberately insulting him. ”
Gui Weichi glanced at him and said, "When you let people know that I Yin He came back, you didn't say how you wanted me to arrange him." ”
Ji Hou smiled and said: "That's true, this Xuanwu Wei is yours, how do you arrange it, I naturally won't ask." It's just that with his family background, I really don't understand how you are placed. ”
Gui Weichi was silent for a while, as if he had thought of something, the smile on his face slowly put away, and said: "His eldest brother Yin Yang is very talented, he is a young man I like very much, if everything goes well, in time, I did think about handing over Xuanwuwei to him." ”
"It's a pity he died. Ji Hou nodded and said the result for this old friend.
Gui Weichi smiled bitterly, poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up but didn't drink it, just turned the cup slightly, and after a while, said, "He died a little strangely." ”
"Huh?" Ji Hou raised his eyebrows, the light in his eyes flashed, and his gaze was not too long to return, and then he said slowly, "What do you say?"
"Half a year ago, the White Horse Tribe sent a message that the desolate thieves were going to attack the horse farm, and I was going to lead the army to go, but Yin Yang came forward with a young and vigorous spirit, and only said that he didn't need a knife to kill chickens, he could go by himself. At that time, I really cherished his talents, and I also hoped that he could establish merits, so I allowed him to lead 200 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress. It stands to reason that there are few thieves in the Great Wasteland who can exceed the number of 50 people, and four times as many military horses as this is enough, but in the end, the whole army was wiped out, and Yin Yang was seriously injured and died. ”
Ji Hou nodded and said, "I remember this, at the beginning of the elders' meeting, Lao Long and Xia Hou still criticized you a lot, and even said that they would take away your position as the head of the guard, but I stopped you." ”
Gui Weichi sighed, thanked him for his bow, and then said: "When I heard that the army was defeated, I immediately led the army out of the city to rescue, and received Yin Yang, who was bloodied and seriously injured outside the city, but unfortunately he was powerless. As he was dying, I hugged him, but he held my hand tightly and said the last two words with all his might. ”
Ji Hou was slightly moved, and said in a deep voice: "What did he say?"
"Inner ghost. ”
※※※
There was silence in the pavilion, and the two of them didn't speak for a long time, and after a long while, Ji Hou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a pity that this young man died." ”
Gui Weichi said lightly: "That day should have been passed by the old man, but it turned out that he died for me." ”
Ji Hou shook his head and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Gui Weichi said: "There is no evidence, what can you say?" It's just that this matter is actually for me, I took Yin He over and put it on the street management side first, because I was afraid that he and his brother would be as young and proud as his brother, and I wanted to sharpen it. ”
Ji Hou said: "Oh, how about looking at this Yin River now?"
Gui didn't hesitate for a moment, and said: "If you just talk about talent and qualifications, it doesn't seem to be as dazzling as his brother, but I don't know if he has been trained in the inner ring, so he has a calm and stoic temperament, but in this regard, Yin Yang is not as good as him." ”
Ji Hou pondered for a moment, and said to Gui Wei: "Okay, since this young man has already seen the same, don't sharpen him, lift him up and sharpen it, and see if you can become a talent." ”
Gui Weichi was a little surprised, and said: "The old man had this meaning before, but what's the matter with you? Didn't he just sweep the face of your family, if you don't pursue it, forget it, do you still want me to cultivate him?"
Ji Hou glanced at him angrily and said, "Those waste guys, even if Yin He doesn't beat them, I won't let them go, don't you say as if this little guy has a grudge against me, do I seem to be such a small person?"
Gui Weichi nodded and said: "Yes, you have stepped on all the people who were enemies of you before, you have stepped on them without leaving any of them, this heart is not small, who is small?"
"Hey!" Ji Hou was a little annoyed and scolded, "As long as you talk a lot, you would have known that Lao Long and Xia Hou would have driven you away." ”
Gui didn't smile too late, and he didn't care.
Ji Hou was obviously joking, and after saying it, he pondered for a moment, then showed a hint of helplessness, and sighed to Gui Weichi: "You should know a little bit about the situation over there, the children in the family are all mediocre, and the only one who can catch your eye is Honglian alone." ”
Gui Weichi thought about it and said, "Miss Honglian is indeed very good. ”
Ji Hou snorted coldly and said: "But she can't support this foundation alone, I always have to help her take precautions, at least find more reliable helpers, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation." ”
Gui Weichi's eyes lit up and said, "What, have you taken a fancy to this Yin River?"
Ji Hou shook his head and said: "How can it be so simple, this young man does have a lot of potential, but he still has to sharpen and temper it to see if he can become a talent." However, he does have some friendship with Honglian, and today Honglian also came to help him support, if he is really talented, he may be a trusted candidate for her. ”
Gui Weichi said: "This is natural, it depends on him whether he succeeds or not, but it can enter your eyes, and it is also his creation." Hey, anyway, Yin Yang died for me, as long as his brother can come out, I can be regarded as slightly worthy of him. ”
After a pause, he said, "I'll transfer him out of the street management later, and arrange for him to ...... first Forget it, just come to my side as a guard for a while, and then go to the battlefield and experience it again......"
"Nope. Ji Hou interrupted him, his face was calm, but his eyes seemed to be a little cold, and said: "Let him go to the patrol team, the kind that patrols outside the city, and don't go to other places, just be in charge of the White Horse Tribe." ”
Gui Weichi sat up straight suddenly, his face changed slightly, and said, "What are you doing here? Are you going to cultivate him or kill him?"
Ji Hou sneered and said, "If he is really a talent, he can naturally survive the grinding, and if he dies so easily, he can only be blamed for his bad life." ”
Gui Weichi was silent, and sighed after a long time: "The great wilderness is full of dangers, and bandits are rampant, and it is too difficult for him to be a young man. ”
Ji Hou said coldly: "When I laid this foundation back then, it was ten times more difficult than him. ”
Gui Weichi shook his head and didn't speak.
Ji Hou pondered for a moment, lowered his voice again, and said, "In addition, if you look for him in private again, you can reveal some of my intentions today to him, and at the same time tell him that there are many strange things in the White Horse Tribe, which may not only collude with the desolate thieves to kill his brother, but also collude with other forces in the Holy City, openly surrender and submit, but in fact secretly plot to harm me." You let him pay attention to the investigation, if you can really find out the truth and the culprit, I will ensure that he will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime!"
Gui Weichi nodded, showed a smile, and said, "It turns out that your heart is here." ”
Ji Hou squinted at him and said, "What, are you still willing to let this little guy under your command gamble on this?"
"Bet!" Gui Weichi said without hesitation, "I was just afraid that he would die in vain before, but now that he has such a big benefit, how can he not gamble?
Ji Hou laughed.
Gui Weichi thought of something, and asked him again, and said: "By the way, there seems to be some trouble on the Yin family's side, and the family probably wants to abolish the longevity and let a child inherit the family business......"
Ji Hou snorted disdainfully and said, "You just tell him to do things well, if you really have the ability to make some achievements, who can still rob him?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something, looked at Gui Wei, and said: "When I brought this inheritance, I also brought a little blood, you will never forget it." ”
Gui Weichi nodded, lowered his head slightly, looked at the old and withered palm he put on the tea table, and after a while, he only heard him whisper: "Yes, back then, my hand was also stained with the blood of your surname Ji......"
