It was indeed the idea that Fan Dajian gave Xiaocao. When he entered the cabin, he put down the wine and meat. He smiled bitterly: "I was also soft-hearted for a while. I saw that she was very pitiful, so I suggested that she ask Lord Shang for help. I think there must be a reason for Lord Shang to invite you to accompany you. It would be better if Xiaocao was passing on a message there. How about her there?"

Hu Guiyang stared at the old Taoist, "Xiaocao is a guard for Lord Shang's family."

"Hey." Fan Dajian exclaimed, "Excellent, the little girl is very awesome."

"you do not know?"

"I just suggested that she go to Mr. Shang for help, but I don't know anything else." Fan Dajian was so angry that he was staring at Hu Guiyang, and added: "Of course, how could the little girl meet Mr. Shaobao? I helped a little and recommended her to meet Qian Gong."

Hu Guiyang was still staring at him.

Fan Dajian was a little anxious, "It's gone, that's all the process. I haven't done anything to sorry for you."

Yuan Mao, He Wu Madman, Zhao Aqi, and Zhang Wuchen walked up from the cabin. Seeing the wine and meat on the table, he cheered in unison. He Wu Madman rushed to the table first, lifted the mud seal of the wine jar and sniffed it deeply, "Why did we bring it here at this time? We have eaten, but it doesn't matter, we can still drink a little wine."

Hu Guiyang never acted arrogantly. These people were not restrained in front of him. Without waiting for invitation, they sat down one after another, snatched wine in bowls, snatched meat with chopsticks, and had another meal.

Hu Guiyang was unwilling to let go of his luck and happened to have no lunch, so he rushed to eat.

The wine and meat were quickly swept away, and the fleet had already set off. Yuan Mao and He Wu went to the deck to get some breath, Zhao Aqi and Zhang Wuchen went back to the cabin to sleep, but Fan Dajian did not dare to leave, claiming to stay and clean up the mess.

The bowls and chopsticks were stacked together, and Fan Dajian called a boatman in and asked him to take them out and wipe the table.

When there were no outsiders, Hu Guiyang said, "What have you thought about?"

Fan Dajian is considered a fairy-like figure, but his face was full of helplessness at this moment, "What do you want me to say? I didn't hide it. If you don't believe me, go and ask Xiaocao."

"I just ask you, are you familiar with Qian Gong?"

"Uh... I met several times, and you also know that when I was in Lingji Palace, I was often invited to do rituals for various prefectures. The Shang Dynasty has been there two or three times, and the ones who received me were Qian Gong. This man has no position in the mansion, but he has always served Lord Shang, which is his confidant."

"You haven't told me this."

"Is this matter very important? I have known many people in Beijing. I talk about it one by one, and I can't finish it in three days... What exactly did Xiaocao do? Is it so angry?"

"Angry? Why am I angry?" Hu Guiyang smiled, stood up and stretched, "I just felt that being weak and having the help of the young security guard would be like a timely help."

"It's like a tiger adding wings." Fan Dajian added.

"Well, although the Shaobao Lord has retired and returned home, the 'charcoal' he sent is not so pure and the 'wings' he added are not so powerful, but it is better than nothing."

"Yes, I think so too." Fan Dajian smiled apologized, feeling a little relieved.

"Okay, just do whatever you need, and don't hide it from me again in the future."

"Absolutely not." Fan Dajian almost swears.

Because of the tables, chairs and other items in the cabin, there was only one bed. Hu Guiyang slept here alone, and the other five slept below.

That night, Hu Guiyang went to bed early and the others were resting one after another. Only Crazy Man He ran out to see the night view. He came back soon, muttering while walking, complaining that the scenery was too bad.

After sleeping until midnight, Hu Guiyang suddenly sat up from the bed. He slept well and was full of energy. He planned to do something in the middle of the night.

The snoring sounds from the cabin are coming one after another. He Wu Madman and Zhao Aqi occasionally say a few words of dreams, which are usually the content of the Fire God Art. It is really a bit difficult for Zhao Aqi to pause his practice.

The person who snored the loudest was Zhang Wuchen, who was overwhelming the strongest, as if a powerful general was charging into battle, riding a horse and a knife, running in front, and behind him were the generals and soldiers.

The only soldier from the cabin was Yuan Mao, who hadn't fallen asleep. When he turned over and opened his eyes, he glanced at the figure. He couldn't help but be shocked and whispered: "Personnel Hu?"

"Well, it's me, wake up the old Taoist and take it outside." Hu Guiyang replied in a low voice.

The cabin is not quiet either, the frogs are screaming and the insects are connected together, the bow of the boat and there are no figures on the shore, which is suitable for talking about secrets.

Hu Guiyang didn't wait long, Yuan Mao brought Fan Dajian out. The old Taoist was sleepy and suddenly woke up when he saw Hu Guiyang, "Didn't he explain it clearly during the day?"

"It's still a little bit." Hu Guiyang led the two to the side of the boat and looked down. The river was dark and bottomless.

Yuan Mao didn't understand, so, "I'll go down to sleep."

"No, stay and be a witness." Hu Guiyang paused for a while, "After all, we are the only three of us in the same group. The others just met by chance and joined forces temporarily."

Yuan Mao nodded and stood aside.

Fan Dajian found that Hu Guiyang was more serious than usual and was a little scared, "Person Hu, we are in the same group. I have never done anything sorry for everyone. If you don't like me, I will introduce Xiaocao to Master Shaobao. I will no longer meddle in other people's business in the future..."

"You still won't tell the truth."

"These are all the truth, there is really nothing. Yuan Mao, come and judge, what's going on?"

Yuan Mao didn't say anything. He didn't understand it very much and didn't want to talk too much.

"You don't plan to explain what you are going ashore to buy alcohol?"

"Buy wine is to buy wine, everyone is willing to drink..." Fan Dajian's voice became weaker and his eyes swept around Hu Guiyang and Yuan Mao, "Hu Guiyang, you are too suspicious. Since you don't believe me, let me go ashore. This place is not too far from the capital. I will walk back by myself and no longer participate in your affairs."

Hu Guiyang smiled and hugged the old Taoist's shoulder, "Don't you understand my temper yet?"

Fan Dajian hummed twice, and he was a little angry because he knew too much.

"Okay, you go ashore." Hu Guiyang gently pushed the old Taoist back.

"You, are you really doing it?" Fan Dajian suddenly realized that he did not have enough understanding of this Jinyi Captain.

"Think about it carefully, it is not very useful for you to stay here with me. Yuan Mao is my storefront and can stand up for me to take care of my boss. Zhao Aqi and others are all very skilled in martial arts and are important helpers. Zhang Wuchen does not know how to do martial arts, but it must be strange if he was given a fortune-telling incense burner. As for you, the Taoist priest who was removed from the Lingji Palace is useless except for memorizing large passages of scriptures. So, please go back to the village to support him or ask Lingji Palace to take care of him. You can do it yourself."

Fan Dajian opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. When he spoke again, his arms were trembling with anger, "Hu Guiyang, you, you are really not a fucking human!"

"Go together and part with each other." Hu Guiyang smiled and pushed again, "The three people in Gaojia Village still have to be fostered at your house for a while. If you really don't want to, go to my house to find Jiang Erpi and ask him to help arrange it."

"You abandon me like a waste, and you still want me to care about such a mess?" Fan Dajian was furious. If he hadn't felt that he was not an opponent, he would have punched him long ago.

"Well... you'd better take care of it. When I return to Beijing from Yunyang Prefecture, I will make great contributions. I dare not say that I am promoted, but Wang Zhi must obey my advice."

When Wang Zhi was mentioned, Fan Dajian's anger disappeared. Just because of Wang Zhi's words, Lingji Palace sent him to the palace as a mortal demon. This incident had a great blow to him and made him even more frightened.

"I, I..." Fan Dajian's face became redder and redder. It was too embarrassing to give in. He pretended to be arrogant and had no courage. He simply left with his sleeves. The board of ships that were on the deck was placed on the deck. He put it on himself and walked towards the shore with big strides.

Yuan Mao watched coldly, feeling both frightened and a little difficult to understand at Hu Guiyang's determination and relentlessness. When the old Taoist figure disappeared, he whispered: "You really drive him away?"

"It depends on the situation."

"What else is there?" Yuan Mao watched the old Taoist figure disappear into the night.

"If he is really angry and returns to the capital, it's okay. This trip to Yunyang Prefecture is very dangerous and it is indeed not suitable for him. If he goes to someone else to discuss countermeasures, he will come back soon."

"Who else can he find?"

Hu Guiyang refused to answer and smiled and said, "Please put away the boat board and look at it. When the old Taoist comes back, he will take him to see me. I'll make up for it."

Hu Guiyang walked into the cabin, and Yuan Mao called him, "Person Hu, can I ask you something?"

"Of course." Hu Guiyang stopped and turned around.

"Does everyone use what you said just now... are they true?"

"It's true. If there is no danger to go to Yunyang Mansion, then I guess it's all wrong. If there is a disaster, everyone must work hard and everyone is useful. I have no ability to protect everyone."

"Haha, Captain Hu is really straightforward... I'm too much, please go back to the cabin to rest, I'll be here to guard."

"It's a labor." Hu Guiyang entered the house with a smile.

Yuan Mao stood there for a while and murmured, "I don't know if there is such a boss, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky." Thinking of what the former owner Yuan Bin did, he nodded, feeling that it was easier for people like Hu Guiyang to deal with.

Yuan Mao suddenly remembered that the boat board was not closed. He walked to the side of the boat and just bent down, he heard someone on the shore laughing: "Brother Yuan, it's so insignificant. If you don't talk to me, you'll have to remove the boat board."

The old Taoist Fan Dajian is back and only walks a hundred steps forward and back.

Yuan Mao stood up straight, "If you are interested, you will not hide anything from us."

"Hey, do you believe what Hu Guiyang said?"

"I believe that during the day, everyone had lunch, but you went ashore to buy wine and meat. It was obviously an excuse. Who did you meet with? Qian Gong from Shang Mansion or from Wenjiazhuang?" Yuan Mao also wanted to understand what the flaw of the old Taoist was.

"Don't talk nonsense, can I collude with Wenjiazhuang?" Fan Dajian pretended to be angry, which was equivalent to admitting that he had met Qian Gong, "Can I get on the boat?"

Yuan Mao asked aside, "Did you think about how to tell Captain Hu? The shipboard will not be kept for you all the time."

The old Taoist strode to the boat and smiled at Yuan Mao, "Didn't Hu Guiyang say I'm useless? I'll give him some use, no, it's a great use."

"He is waiting for you in the cabin." Yuan Mao pointed to the cabin, not planning to follow him in, so he should avoid suspicion.

"This Hu Guiyang..." Fan Dajian smiled and shook his head, walked towards the cabin. As soon as he entered the door, the smile on his face disappeared.

Hu Guiyang did not lie down, and was sitting on the stool in a daze.

Fan Dajian saw the figure through the moonlight outside and coughed, "Don't you think you are weak? I'll bring you a large group of people. They have already rushed to Yunyang Mansion in advance. When you arrive, you will all follow your command. In fact, you don't have to worry. You will know the truth when you arrive in Hangzhou at the latest."

Hu Guiyang did not show any joy, "The court sent four teams to find Wenjiazhuang. My team is the weakest. Why did Lord Shaobao have to help me? I must have something to ask for."

Fan Dajian took two steps forward, "Simple, Qian Gong told me that the same jade pendant, Master Shaobao wants one hundred."

Hu Guiyang slowly smiled on his face, and Lord Shaobao, who said through Xiaocao that he did not believe in ghosts and gods, was still quite interested in immortality.
