The sky had already dawned, and Hu Caijun, who had been sitting silently in front of the window all night, suddenly stood up and walked out with his head held high.
Although he is not a righteous gentleman, as long as he makes up his mind, he will never back down, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, no matter what others say about him.
This was true when he did anything to get the first place, and it was the same when he taxed the prince, and now he mustered up the courage to oppose the family's decisions.
Hu is the surname of Mengcheng, and Hu's family is Hu Tianhua, the grandfather of Hu Caijun, and Hu Tianhua is also Hu Tianci, that is, the brother of Tianci Daoist.
Hu Tianhua, who was in his sixties, had already gotten up, as an old man, he slept very little, and almost as soon as it was dawn, he had already gotten up to practice the technique of breathing that Hu Tianci had passed on to him.
This technique of vomiting can only be regarded as a subtle technique, and it is not even a secret that is not transmitted, but Hu Tianhua feels that after practicing this technique of vomiting, his spirit is much stronger than before.
In fact, it is not surprising that the aura between heaven and earth is so scarce, and the old man's own vitality is constantly dissipating.
"Grandfather!" Hu Caijun entered the middle hall, bowed slightly, and greeted the old man.
"Gang'er. Seeing Hu Caijun, Hu Tianhua smiled, the Hu family is a big business, but among all the grandsons, he still likes Hu Caijun the most, not just because Hu Caijun is the eldest son and eldest grandson, but because this grandson does have real talent and learning, and has the value of praise.
Although Hu Caijun had to leave Mengcheng Mansion last time because of Zi Baifeng, under the operation of the Hu family, he quickly left the small village and returned to Mengcheng to find a good messenger.
Hu is handsome and exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and the relationship between all parties is handled well, which makes Hu Tianhua very pleased.
So at this time, seeing Hu Caijun coming in, Hu Tianhua stopped his technique and got up from the soft couch.
"Grandfather, the grain merchants in Zhongqushan have been waiting at the dock for five days, and Boss Ma said that if they don't buy grain again, they will sell it to others. Hu Caijun lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice.
"Isn't this matter already agreed?" Hu Tianhua frowned when he heard this, "The matter of buying grain has been put on hold for the time being, and now the entire Hu Ji is fully assisting you Tianci Second Master in purchasing jade, and you can buy as much as you can." ”
If there is anything that the people of Mengcheng learned from the previous battle between Bird and Mouse Guan and Zi Baifeng, it is that they know how powerful the immortals are. They who have really seen the big battle at the beginning, and know many of the insiders, also hope that they will also have a strong enough immortal behind them at this time, so they will be almost invincible.
And the arrival of Hu Tianci gave them new hope. Hu Tianhua is not an immortal cultivator, he doesn't understand the difference between the outer disciple and the inner disciple, but seeing the skills that Hu Tianci once revealed, and then hearing the prospects he described, Hu Tianhua decided to fully support Hu Tianci to purchase jade in order to win this assessment and obtain the qualification to become an inner disciple.
This is an investment, and Hu Tianhua has already staked everything.
"Grandfather, Hu Bao Township is the foundation of my Hu clan, and it is also the foundation of our Hu clan's foothold in Mengcheng. The purchase of grain for disaster relief is a matter that has already been decided, and if it is temporarily canceled, the other branches of the Hu clan will not easily agree. What's more......" Hu Caijun couldn't help frowning when he thought of what his uncle had done yesterday. Moreover, the people who come forward to collect the jade now are all from the Hu family, and those who are pointed at and poked at the backbone are also their Hu people!
If the duel with Zi Baifeng taught him anything, it is that there are some means, it is better not to use them, because if you use the means, you don't know when the Daoist people will retaliate back.
He could see this kind of thing clearly, but his uncle couldn't see it clearly, which made him very puzzled, was the immortal really so high, really so omnipotent?
And if not, will Hu's investment be a waste at all?
What's more, after meeting Zi Baifeng last time, he saw that the two soldiers behaved too strangely, and he was too respectful and afraid of Zi Baifeng, so he found an opportunity to get the two of them drunk and made clichés from the mouths of the two.
Although his words were unclear, Hu Caijun vaguely knew the truth of the original truth.
Hu Tianci and his senior brothers didn't know who they were dealing with, but Hu Caijun knew what he was dealing with.
He still remembers that he was slapped in the face by Zi Baifeng, Zi Baifeng is definitely not a person who swallows his anger, if you take advantage of him, he is afraid that he will return it a thousand times.
This is true for oneself, and this is true for non-infested sons, so what about Hu Tianci? Will they swallow their anger?
How can it be!
"You don't have to say any more. Hu Tianhua was a little displeased, "I'm not old and confused, Hu's affairs, it's not your turn to be in charge, if you can be more promising, it will save me a lot of worry now." Hu Tianhua saw that Hu Caijun wanted to say something more, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Go out!
Hu Caijun still had a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word, he silently saluted his grandfather, turned around and retreated.
After walking a few steps, he turned his head and glanced at Hu Tianhua again, Hu Tianhua waved his hand, not wanting to look at him more.
Hu Caijun shook his head, turned around, walked directly out of the gate, and went straight to the dock, never looking back.
At noon, six or seven people and three dogs came from outside the Hu family.
At the front were three dogs, two large and two small, who sniffed on the ground all the way to the door of Hu Ji, and barked wildly inside.
"Looks like it's here. Zi Baifeng followed behind Slender Legs and Dashan Xiaoshan, and standing next to him was Yan Lao Wu, who was waving a half-truncated sleeve in his hand, "I just said that they did a good thing, and there was no need to let Slender Legs go out at all." ”
The old man was full of energy, waved his hand, and was full of spirit.
Behind Zi Baifeng were Liu Lie and Li and the two, they pressed steel knives in their hands, one left and one right to protect behind Zi Baifeng, and behind them, Yan Dafu and another villager, that was the patriarch of Xiaoyan Village. Further back, there are small stones that follow to see the excitement and are not afraid of trouble, and the pillars that are dragged by the quilt Baifeng as a thug.
Early this morning, Zi Baifeng ordered each village to investigate, and in less than an hour, there was a message to return back, and the other villages had nothing to do, only the box in Xiaoyan Village was missing.
Zi Baifeng ordered all the villages to be on guard, and then went straight to Huji.
For the sake of prudence, Zi Baifeng also let the thin legs sniff the half of the sleeve that was used as evidence by Yan Lao Wu, and sure enough, he came all the way from the city gate to the gate of Hu Ji.
"Come on. "Since this is the case, then what else is there to say, Zi Baifeng tilted his neck, Liu Lieli took two people to step forward, took a breath, and put on a shelf-
"Listen to the thief inside, your grandfather is here, quickly return the jade stolen last night, and then kneel in front of grandpa and kowtow and beg for mercy, call Grandpa Yan three hundred times I was wrong, grandpa may be able to give you a whole corpse!"
was preempted and held in his throat in one breath, Liu Lieli and the two of them were almost suffocated to death, but Yan Lao Wu stretched out his hand and crossed his waist, his face full of red light.
"Cool, it's so cool!" If it weren't for the image, Yan Lao Wu would have laughed at this moment, he fantasized about shouting like this last night, he would have seen these bastards unhappy a long time ago.
Liu Lieli and the two of them glanced at each other helplessly, looked at Zi Baifeng, Zi Baifeng tilted his head backwards, and the two of them simply retreated to the crowd of onlookers to pay attention to their vigilance, leaving the home field to Yan Lao Wu.
"And your little stone grandfather!" Little Stone also jumped up, this is a master who is not afraid of things.
Zi Baifeng looked at it with a smile from behind, and did not stop it.
One of his eyes was fixed on the upstairs, and he could see two clouds of aura moving slowly upstairs, apparently checking the situation below.
"Which bastard, who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to be in-" A middle-aged steward rushed out, half of his face was still wrapped in gauze, who knew that when he saw Yan Lao Wu outside, he immediately swallowed the rest of the words back into his throat, almost choking half to death.
"You kid with a mouth full of feces!" Yan Lao Wu didn't plan to let him go, he picked up his slap and slapped him, now it's okay, his cheeks are bulging high, symmetrical, "Get out of the way, let your housekeeper come out!"
"Senior brother, it's him!" On the second floor, Hu Tianci was taken aback when he saw a group of people downstairs, and pointed to Yan Lao Wu below: "Yesterday, the old man at the front released the flying sword, if I hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid my life would be gone!"
Although Tianxuan Daoist is also an outer disciple, his cultivation is higher than his own, and he went in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't bring weapons, and with his senior brother here, Hu Tianci's courage is also much stronger.
"It's him, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a master...... "Although his cultivation is not enough, he can't see the aura, but the basic eyesight of the senior brother Hu Tianci still has it, although Yan Lao Wu is healthy, he doesn't have the slightest feeling of being a cultivator, no matter how he looks at it, he is just an ordinary old man.
"It's really him......" Hu Tianci looked left and right, it was indeed this guy last night, but this guy was indeed not a cultivator.
"Could it be that some master is teasing you?" Tianxuan Daoist shook his head and said, "I'll give him a try......"
He walked to the window, gently lifted the window a slit, bent his finger, and waited to pop out, who knew that at that time, he saw the young man in the crowd below raise his head and smile at the second floor.
At that moment, Zi Baifeng thought of the terrifying strength of the "one eye like a knife" he saw last night, and he fantasized that his eyes were like electricity, shooting out endless killing intent, and directly nailing the other party to the second floor.
Zi Baifeng does not have the killing intent of a knife, and he does not have a glance like a knife, but he has the wisdom of being a human being in two lifetimes, the transcendence of overlooking the world, the agility of the aura of the whole body, and the majesty of the head of a township.
