Chapter 159: God of Towns
"Big brother...... , how could it be?" Guo Fu clenched his jade hand tightly, and stood up unconsciously, his eyes were full of anxiety and sadness.
Lu Youjiao is an elder of the beggar gang, fair, capable, deeply loved by the beggar gang, and is also the right-hand man of the gang leader Huang Rong, who usually assists him in handling help, so he often goes back and forth to Guo's mansion, and is very good to Guo Fu's three sisters and brothers.
Xiao Yuesheng's face was cold, the golden light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, and he let out a long sigh, feeling a little pity in his heart.
In his opinion, he is a rare managerial talent, but his qualifications are not enough, and it is difficult to become a big tool, but it is enough to use it to block one side and control one side, but it is enough, and the beggar gang is under his management, and the speed of decline is not fast, which is also a rare credit.
Although his mother-in-law Huang Rong is witty and smart, her surname is slightly remote, her wisdom is enough, her mind is insufficient, and her pattern is not broad enough.
Moreover, the woman's body, after all, has a lot of inconveniences, and the beggar gang has declined under its control.
Xiao Yuesheng stood up, paced back and forth in front of Guo Fu a few times, stroked his black and shiny beard, and groaned.
"Send a few more people to the other courtyard, and pay attention to the other elders of the beggar gang, alas...... , make up for the dead!" Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand casually and commanded Xiaoyu.
Xiao Yu's watery gaze kept following Xiao Yuesheng's body, and when she heard this, she agreed, and said softly, "I have already asked the disciples closest to Xiangyang City to rush over. ”
Xiao Yuesheng nodded absentmindedly, glanced at Guo Fu, who had a bleak jade face and was about to cry, shook his head, stopped, sat back in the chair, and said slowly: "Fu'er will go and change her clothes first, let's go over and have a look." ”
Xiaoyu saw that Guo Fu was sad, so she went with her.
Watching the light and graceful bodies of the two open the bead curtain and walk out, Xiao Yuesheng's mind turned like lightning.
It's a pity that it's too late to get the news, after a day and night, Lu Youjiao's five souls and six spirits are afraid that they have dissipated, even if they have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, they are powerless.
All he can do is avenge him, alas, the fragility of human life is really vulnerable, the world is impermanent, and life is precious!
It's just a sigh, Xiao Yuesheng is not a selfless person, and his treatment of relatives and friends is very different from that of others.
Theoretically speaking, Lu Youjiao's death has nothing to do with Xiao Yuesheng, they are only a one-sided relationship, even if they are general friends, at most they go to the coffin to worship and pay tribute, which can be regarded as benevolence, but there is a relationship with mother-in-law Huang Rong, and the two sisters Guo Fu and Guo Xiang have a close relationship with him, so Xiao Yuesheng only had the intention of asking.
As for the perpetrator, although the three words of the Sa Ding Sect immediately rose in his mind, he expelled them from his mind, and he did not personally observe them, and could not draw conclusions, so as not to affect his clarity and cover his eyes.
When the bead curtain swayed, Guo Fu and Xiaoyu quickly entered the room again, bringing in a burst of elegant aroma, and the two sisters standing in front of Xiao Yuesheng were wearing plain white Luo shirts and silk silk around their waists, like two ice carved lotus flowers, revealing the charm of ice and jade.
Guo Fu's thin eyelids are a little white and red, she must have cried secretly, there is a thick sadness between her eyebrows, and her jade face and red lips are extremely touching.
"Big brother, do you want to bring Xiang'er with you?...... She had an excellent relationship with Elder Lu. Guo Fu looked at her husband with some moist eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Don't tell her yet, but talk about it later, lest she be sad." Xiao Yuesheng thought about it, shook his head, and stood up.
"Xiaoyu, don't go over yet, just stay in the village, and if there is any news over there, let me know in time. ”
"Well, okay. Xiaoyu nodded, she also had this intention.

Xiangyang Chengguo Mansion
The night sky was as dark as ink, the stars were gone, the cold wind was blowing strongly, cold as a knife, and with a whining roar, it stopped and stopped.
In front of Guo's house, two snow-white lanterns were hung, and the original red lanterns were replaced.
In the back garden, where only a few lanterns hang high, the light is slightly dim, but you can also see the flowers and leaves, and the sparse shadows on the ground are constantly changing, giving this place a layer of psychedelic color.
Next to the small practice ground, suddenly, two figures suddenly appeared, Xiao Yuesheng was holding Guo Fu's slender willow waist with his right arm, Xiao Yuesheng was wearing a snow-white mink fur coat and a mink hat, looking graceful and chic, Guo Fu was a plain snow-white shirt, glowing with a faint white light in the night.
She has a glittering blue hairpin on her head and a heart bracelet on her wrist, and the cold air can't invade her body at all, which can be said to be cold and hot.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, they are in the bedroom. ”
"Well, let's go over. ”
"Who?!" A deep shout sounded, coming from the corner of the wall, the sound was not loud, but there was a faint power to shake the eardrums, and the internal force was deep.
"Is it Lu Yun?" Guo Fu asked in a slightly low voice, soft and close, which made people can't help but relax, she was influenced by Yan Ping and Xiaofeng, and her tone and tone of voice were soft and pleasant, as if she was happy in the sound.
"It turned out to be the eldest lady...... It was Lu Yun who was here. From the flowers in the southeast corner of the wall, a young man with a face like a crown of jade walked out, wearing a dark robe fluttering in the wind.
He pressed the long sword in his hand, and in the dim night, his eyes were like bright stars, shining with essence, indescribably handsome, like a jade tree standing in the wind.
Just took two steps and left the flower bush that hid his figure, Lu Yun stopped, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed to Xiao Yuesheng: "I've seen my uncle!"
Xiao Yuesheng nodded in greeting, smiling silently, Guo Fu stroked the green silk hanging from his ear, and said softly: "Is it your shift?"
"Yes, it was me in the first half of the night, and Xiaojie came to change me in the second half of the night!" Lu Yun replied respectfully in the face of the whining cold wind, and the respect in his remarks was far greater than that of Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Yuesheng couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass, it seemed that his wife had a lot of admirers, and he suddenly felt proud.
"Today, the Huang gang leader keeps talking about my uncle, where is the villain's duty, I can't go to report, or the eldest lady will go over in person. ”
Lu Yun spoke seriously, so respectful that Xiao Yuesheng kept laughing secretly, quite cute, but it was difficult for him to understand the feelings of such a young man.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Guo Fu nodded slightly, smiled reluctantly, turned to look at her husband, and said softly: "Big brother, let's go quickly?...... It seems that my mother expected you to come. ”
Xiao Yuesheng said "um", hugged his fists and smiled at the arrogant Lu Yun, hugged her soft and slender willow waist and turned away, as if it was slow and fast, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
In the howling cold wind, Lu Yunguan's jade-like face behind him showed bitterness, smiled at himself, exhaled deeply, put away his frustrated thoughts, and turned back to the flowers.
The cold wind was howling outside, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong were sitting opposite each other inside the house to eat.
Guo Fu married to Mission Hills Villa, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu also left with Master Yideng to go to Mission Hills Villa to find their eldest sister, and only Guo Jing and Huang Rong were left in the Guo Mansion.
When their children are at home, the two of them will be upset from time to time, and the eldest daughter has reached the flower letter, but still refuses to marry, just like a flower, before it opens, it will wither, which is pitiful, and they are worried when they think about it.
The eldest daughter, who was silent and silent, got married, and the family suddenly seemed to be a pillar, empty, and the husband and wife did not go to the wide hall to eat, so as not to be too desolate.
Today's day is unusual, Huang Rong saw that her husband was unhappy and worried, so she personally cooked and copied two small dishes and served wine to Guo Jing.
"Brother Jing, don't think about it anymore, people can't be resurrected after death, and if you want to complain, you can only complain about Elder Lu's bad life. Huang Rong sighed when she saw that her husband had just put down the wine glass, and the word "Chuan" was about to wrinkle between her eyebrows, so she comforted softly.
Guo Jing wiped his face with his big hand, his big eyes were faintly bloodshot, and there was a blister on the right side of his lips, he shook his head, and sighed deeply: "Alas-...... When someone assassinated me and didn't succeed, we should have thought that we should have prevented them from dealing with others, and we should have let Qiu Feng follow him!"
"They will definitely refuse!" Huang Rong's face was much younger than before, like a young woman, her hands were white and tender, she held the silver pot in her hand, and while pouring wine for Guo Jing, she said: "These two brothers were assigned by Guanlan to protect the two of us, and you instructed them not to move!"
"Ahh,......h This Guanlan!" Guo Jing sighed and smiled bitterly, he was really helpless against this uncle, he had no ambition for him, and he was very angry.
"Now, Brother Jing, you don't have to think about it, just look forward to Guanlan coming over quickly to see if Elder Lu is still saved, although the Soul Rejuvenation Pill has not saved him, but his body has become soft and not stiff, maybe,...... And saved!"
Huang Rong is very satisfied with this uncle, her daughter is married to the right person!
Originally, she wanted to pass on the position of the gang leader to Elder Lu, although Lu Youjiao's qualifications are not better than her husband's, and she does not have her husband's perseverance, and her martial arts can only be regarded as a second-rate master, but looking at the entire beggar gang, she can be the leader of the gang, and she really can't find a second person.
But after her daughter left the cabinet, she changed her mind, and a flash of inspiration flashed into her clever and unparalleled head. Huang Rong is preparing to convene a martial arts conference to elect a gang leader from among the heroes to revitalize the beggar gang, and this burden should also be lifted! This is also the approval of her master Hong Qigong.
Guo Jing smiled bitterly again, no breathing, no heartbeat, if there is still salvation, then what hell...... However, the medicinal power of the Soul Restoration Pill is indeed terrifying, and it can turn a cold body into a living person's softness, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to believe.
"Daddy, Mommy, we're back!" the two were talking, when they suddenly heard a familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice.
"It's Fu'er!" Huang Rong left her seat abruptly, her beautiful face full of surprise.
"It's her. Guo Jing nodded calmly, he was not good at expressing his feelings, although he was no less surprised than his wife, his face remained calm, and he raised his voice outside: "Fu'er, come in!"
The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and the lights shook for a while, and a figure rushed in with a fragrant breeze and got into Huang Rong's arms, Guo Fu hugged her mother hard, so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Xiao Yuesheng also followed into the house, closed the door with his hand, isolated the cold outside, and under the warm light, he had a warm smile on his face, which made people feel warm.
"You're finally here!" Guo Jing hurriedly put down his wine glass and left his seat, walked to Xiao Yuesheng, who was bowing and saluting, helped him up, and said softly: "No need to be polite, sit down quickly, drink some wine with me, and warm up!"
"No,...... Father-in-law, where is Elder Lu now?" Xiao Yuesheng arrived in Xiangyang City, and his heart beat inexplicably, as if he saw a trace of vitality, which was an extremely mysterious feeling.
Guo Jing nodded vigorously, with a commative face, Huang Rong hugged her baby eldest daughter, her beautiful face showed a heavy look, nodded her head, and said softly: "Elder Lu is placed in the helm, and he should indeed let Guanlan go to see it first." ”
"Let's go. Guo Jing walked out first, his steps were calm, but he was very fast, obviously anxious.
The beggar gang rudder is located in the southwest of Lin'an City, the westernmost part of the street of Guofu is, it was originally a wealthy businessman's house, because of Huang Rong's relationship, the beggar gang bought it and used it as the helm, not far from Guo's mansion, which is convenient for Huang Rong to deal with help.
But from the outside, it is hard to believe that this is the helm of the world's largest gang, except for the two squatting stone lions, the rest of the place, with a shabby, only two lanterns, so that the light at the door dimmed, in the flickering cold wind, these two white paper lanterns seem to be in danger of being blown away at any time.
The gate was open, but the tall mahogany threshold was polished to a shiny finish, almost illuminating the surrounding bluestone.
But the seemingly deserted mansion is heavily guarded inside, and the gate at the entrance of the cave is like a giant beast that wants to choose people and devour.
The murder of the most prestigious elder in charge of the stick was an extraordinary blow to the beggar gang, and the seemingly loose beggar gang was like a sleeping lion being awakened, and every gang in Xiangyang City and near Xiangyang City was in high spirits and tracked down the enemy.
Of the four elders of the year, only Elder Liang, the only surviving Elder of the year, is here, and the rest of the dead are rebellious.
Dressed in a gray robe with patches at his elbows, Elder Liang, who was emaciated, sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at Lu Youjiao, who was ruddy in front of him, like sleeping feet, and his heart was indescribably desolate.
He was in a spacious and warm hall, with more than a dozen cow candles, illuminating the hall as bright as day, and the expression on his face was clearly visible.
Beside him, there were two elders of the beggar gang, Chen Song, who succeeded the original Peng Jian, serving as the law enforcement elder and the palm bowl elder respectively, and after the two elders, there was a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, holding a green bamboo stick in his hand and eight cloth bags tied around his waist, only one bag less than the three elders.
This person's name is Yan Chenfeng, he is a close disciple of Elder Song, with outstanding talent, and adventures, a body of martial arts far beyond his teacher, there is a great tendency to be better than the blue, in recent years, he has made great contributions to the beggar gang, and he was promoted to eight bags of disciples, and he is the first person among the young disciples of the beggar gang.
The whining cold wind outside the hall is blowing, the hall is silent, Lu Youjiao is fair and loyal, and he is deeply loved by the gang, almost a deputy gang leader, but now he is separated forever, and his voice and smile seem to flash in front of their eyes.
The felt curtain in the hall was lifted, the cow candle at the door swayed a few times, and a middle-aged man in a hundred clothes came in, with a mediocre appearance and a light step like a tanuki, silently came to the young eight-bag disciple, bent down and whispered a few words in his ear, and then quietly withdrew.
"Elder, the helper and Guo Daxia are here!" the young man with eight bags leaned forward and whispered in the ears of the two elders.
The two elders of Chen and Song suddenly woke up from their daze, hurriedly stood up from the futon, and were about to go out to greet them, but they saw that the felt curtain had been lifted, the lights were flickering, and Guo Jing, Huang Rong and his wife, Xiao Yuesheng, Guo Fu and his wife walked in one after another.
"Guo Daxia, help master!" that Elder Liang also woke up from his grief, and led everyone to turn around and salute Guo Jing and his wife.
"The three elders don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" Guo Jing stepped forward to hold up the three of them, his face was calm, he didn't want to say more, and came directly to Lu Youjiao, who was lying flat on the low couch.
"I've seen Uncle Liang, Uncle Chen, and Uncle Song!" Guo Fu, who was dressed in a plain white Luo shirt, greeted him softly.
"The eldest lady is back, alas...... , let's take a look at Elder Lu!" Elder Liang, who had gray eyebrows, smiled reluctantly, wiped the corners of his eyes with his thin hand, and turned his head, as he got older, the arrogance of his youth was no longer there, and he was also extremely sensitive to birth, old age, sickness and death.
Guo Fu also had a sour nose, and wanted to cry, but she couldn't hold back, but her bright eyes were already moist, and she looked like a pool of autumn water contained in it.
"Ah, my uncle is here too! Please!" Elder Liang was sad in his heart, and his expression was a little dazed, only then did he realize that Xiao Yuesheng was standing behind the eldest lady.
Xiao Yuesheng, who was wrapped in snow-white sable fur and had a dashing bearing, hugged his fists, his face was calm, but he just nodded at everyone and was silent.
The two elders of Chen Song were also busy clasping their fists in return, and their expressions were respectful, which made Yan Chenfeng, who was following them, a little uncomfortable.
Yan Chenfeng is a young man, very proud, and has admired the gentle and demure Guo Fu for a long time, and only hopes to marry him in the future, so he has been working hard to be worthy of her, but he didn't expect that he would bite the gold halfway, and snatch the goddess in his heart with a horizontal knife.
If he is a person who is stronger than himself, although he is bitter in his heart, he is also willing, and he wishes the eldest lady happiness. But the person she married was a married woman!
Seeing Guo Fu, who looked sad, but couldn't hide the radiant Guo Fu, Yan Chenfeng had mixed feelings in her heart, it seemed that she was doing well, alas-!
Xiao Yuesheng watched coldly from the sidelines, and smiled bitterly in his heart: This wife of his is really charming, and the young men around him are all in love with her, but they never expected it.
Guo Fu is already delicate, but because of her bitter love for Xiao Yuesheng, she has become quiet and silent, her expression is indifferent, in the eyes of outsiders, she is gentle and mysterious, unattainable, this kind of temperament is most likely to provoke the hearts of young men.
"Guanlan, aren't you coming?" Guo Jing's voice sounded, and he saw his son-in-law standing behind everyone, delayed, so he urged.
Xiao Yuesheng slowly came to the couch surrounded by everyone, and looked down to observe Lu Youjiao, whose face was ruddy, as if he was sleeping.
Since entering the hall, his mind-reading skills have been in operation, and the hearts of these four people have been fully understood, the so-called house thieves are difficult to prevent, and people's hearts are unpredictable, maybe the murderer is one of them. Xiao Yuesheng, who knows the dark surname and the ghost domain of people's hearts, has to take precautions.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him, these three elders and one eight-bag disciple were all innocent, and it seemed that it was indeed the work of outsiders.
Seeing Xiao Yuesheng's palm on Lu Youjiao's forehead, his eyes drooping slightly, everyone was stunned, and looked at his face without saying a word, for fear of missing a subtle expression.
"Guanlan, how's it going?, is there any salvation?" Huang Rong asked softly, a little breathless.
Xiao Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes and slowly swept over everyone, as far as his eyes could see, everyone felt stiff and unable to move, and the blood around his body stopped flowing.
That gaze seemed to be able to reach the Nine Shadows, and everything about himself was not hidden, showing under his vision.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuesheng's hand left Lu Youjiao's forehead and reached out to his waist, which were nine small cloth bags, woven from hundreds of trees, which were the identification of the status level of the beggar gang.
In the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, Xiao Yuesheng took out a hosta from one of the small cloth bags.
"Huh?...... Zhen Shen Hairpin?!" Guo Fu beside him couldn't help but snort softly and looked at her husband.
Xiao Yuesheng turned his head, a smile appeared on his face, and nodded to her, indicating that his judgment was correct.
"How come?" Guo Fuyu reached out of her sleeve, touched the top of her head, and found that the hosta was still there, and pondered slightly, and whispered to her husband: "I remember, Xiang'er also wears it on her head, how can there be a town god hairpin here?"
Huang Rongqiao, who was standing beside her, showed a little strange face, looked at everyone with some embarrassment, and whispered, "It was given to me by Guanlan...... Alas, Xiang'er, this little girl, secretly took it out to give favors!"
It turned out that Guo Xiang saw the power of the town god hairpin, and thought about the low martial arts of Lu Youjiao at the turn of the year, and his mother was protected by the Shenmu sword, so he didn't need it much, so he stole the town god hairpin and gave it to Lu Youjiao to defend himself.
Xiao Yuesheng will not be stingy with his mother-in-law, and once gave her two Zhenshen hairpins, which were taken by Guo Xiang to give to Lu Youjiao, and Huang Rong just turned a blind eye, after all, she didn't need it much.
Lu Youjiao thought it was too precious, and he didn't admit the owner with blood, and wanted to find an opportunity to return it to the helper.
Under the mistakes, Lu Youjiao's soul was not dispersed, and for Xiao Yuesheng, it was still alive.
Xiao Yuesheng's slight muttering just now was to consider whether to let the elders of the beggar gang know the mystery of the town god hairpin.
