Chapter 182 What can be contested
This is a house built randomly with scrap wooden boards and cut branches. With a light jump, you can touch the roof. There are no tables, chairs and other decorations, and there are no lights and candles. There are only a pile of hay, like a weed shed without cattle and horses.
Hu Guiyang poured onto the haystack and adjusted the most comfortable position, "I'm so tired."
The grass also jumped onto the haystack and landed beside Hu Guiyang. She grew up in the mountains and had the word "grass" in her name, so she didn't feel dirty at all, but felt very friendly. She took a deep breath, "I haven't smelled this fragrance for a long time."
Shi Guida stood at the door with a reserved attitude, pretending to peek out the door, but it was pitch black outside and could not see anything.
Hu Guiyang put his hands behind his head and smiled and said, "Stop looking, we are now sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Except for waiting for the tiger to show mercy, it is all wrong to do anything."
Shi Gui turned around and stood at the door, "Do you really have a friendship with Juren Guo? He is now one of the thief leaders and can save our lives."
"Of course there is friendship. I once informed him and stopped you from chasing the villagers of Gaojia Village. Did you catch up later?"
Shi Guida was silent for a while before saying, "I caught up and killed some people, but not many of them. They had masters to save them, but instead killed many of them."
"Save a master?"
"Wenjiazhuang has obviously taught his disciples in the mountains for a long time. These people protected the refugees and retreated from village to village. There were many officers and soldiers, and they approached step by step, and did not dare to disperse the confrontation. Later, the Wen family suddenly appeared, taught the Fire God Art among the officers and soldiers, and gave some golden elixirs to some others. Therefore, some masters appeared among the officers and soldiers, who could compete with the refugees. This is probably the case."
Xiaocao snorted heavily, Hu Guiyang grabbed her hand and slowly let go.
"Does Guo recognize you?"
"I should not recognize it. I am the captain of the Xichang school and am not responsible for commanding the battle. I just send people to find ways to find enemies. But he may know my name because there are many people under my command who practice the Fire God Art and often confront the masters among the refugees."
"Then you'd better not say anything later." Hu Guiyang suddenly remembered something, "When I was at the entrance of the village before, I seemed to have obtained a lot of golden elixirs from what I meant by you. Where did it come from?"
"Are you interrogating me?"
"In such a place, only others will come to interrogate us. I'm just bored, otherwise you can ask me."
Shi Guida thought for a while and said, "There are several villages that retreat more urgently. We found some jade pendants. It seems that they have been forgotten by the villagers for a while. Later, when they heard the dwarf telling the past, they realized that they had been interacting with refugees a long time ago, but at that time they themselves did not understand the various uses of jade pendants."
Hu Guiyang suddenly laughed.
Shi Guida used to not like the inexplicable laughter of Brother Thirty-sixth, and now he doesn't like it even more, and asks coldly: "Why are you laughing at?"
"I suddenly remembered something. We were all kidnapped since we were young and gave it to Wenjiazhuang. We first went to Jingxiang and then to Duan Tengxia to try various techniques for them. The more we die, the less we live."
"Um."
"Maybe our parents are all refugees in Jingxiang."
Shi Guida couldn't deny it or admit it, "Little Mudan said that my original surname was Shi..."
"She is not called Xiao Mudan now, but has changed her name to Wen Kuyu. She and Zhao Aqi are double-sleeping and flying together to find a way to treat hidden dangers of the golden elixir."
"Hidden danger?"
"Didn't you feel hot?"
Shi Guida didn't want to talk about this matter, "Even if we are children of refugees, it doesn't matter. Refugees should submit to the court, but we are destined to take the lead."
Hu Guiyang laughed again, Xiaocao leaned closer, and whispered: "I think you are from the mountain."
Hu Guiyang laughed.
"Shh." Shi Guida at the door turned around and looked outside.
Hu Guiyang put away his laughter and heard the buzzing sound outside, which became louder and more solemn, as if accompanied by the heavy rain of thunder.
"The Fire God's Art." Hu Guiyang made a judgment after only hearing a few words.
"Well. They are absorbing the essence of the Dan acupoint." Shi Guida slowly circled around, stopped quickly, and looked out through the gaps in the wooden board, "I saw that the Dan acupoint here was also bulging and still glowing."
Hu Guiyang also became interested and stood up and walked to Shi Guida.
He also saw that red light emerged from the well in the distance, several meters high. The light was not very strong, and could only illuminate a very small area. The wellhead was more than ten meters above the ground. There were people standing around him, reciting the Fire God Art together.
"How many people are there?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.
"At least one thousand people." Shi Guida was also surprised. He was generous. After obtaining the golden elixir, he tried his best to share it with everyone. However, after occupying the elixir, no one was allowed to approach. He had to wait for the factory to arrive. However, the refugees did not have these restrictions and all shared the elixir.
"If you can't persuade refugees to surrender, that battle tomorrow..." Shi Guida began to worry about the officers and soldiers.
Xiaocao also came over to peek, "These people are a little scary."
"So never accept the golden elixir, and don't get close to the elixir acupoint." Hu Guiyang reminded him whenever he had the chance.
"I know." Xiaocao was tired of the frequent reminders, "I'm just looking at it, aren't you watching it?"
Shi Gui took a big step back, "Everyone is eager for the golden elixir, why are you not affected at all?"
"Because I'm a lazy person." Hu Guiyang still looked out against the slit of the board, "I don't want to be an official, nor do I want to practice martial arts."
Shi Guida yelled and suddenly turned around and looked at the door.
Hu Guiyang and Xiaocao also turned around and saw that there was one more person at the door.
"This is just the beginning." said the person at the door.
"Ju Ren Guo?" Hu Guiyang couldn't see the human face clearly and vaguely remembered the voice.
"Um."
Juren Guo took two steps forward, Hu Guiyang also took two steps forward, and Shi Guida retreated to the back.
There was still no one lit the lights, and Juren Guo continued: "Soon, an unprecedentedly powerful army will be born here, which will be invincible in the world. Not only can it defeat the officers and soldiers, but it will also attack the capital and ask the emperor for an explanation."
"Wow, when we met last time, your ambition was not so great." Hu Guiyang was not angry because of the other party's arrogance.
"Liu Bang became a minor official, and Zhu Yuanzhang was just a poor monk. The emperor took turns to do it, and everyone had a chance."
"I don't." Hu Guiyang smiled, "I think being an emperor is too tiring. I have to be a busy day and have to be wary of someone who usurps the throne every day."
Juren Guo sneered, "What are you here? I remember that you once had the right to report your message. I won't kill you, but I won't let you talk nonsense. If you want to persuade you to surrender, please put it away."
"You will soon have an invincible army, and I will persuade you to surrender."
Juren Guo laughed again, and had a good impression of swearing, "You are aware of the current affairs."
"Of course, but you know what's going on with the Dan acupoint, right?"
"I've seen a dwarf, and I heard him say something strange. We are not afraid. Even if half of the people die, we are still invincible."
Shi Guida could no longer help and said, "You only have a pill cave, and there are four places for officers and soldiers."
"Haha, this is the stupidity of the officers and soldiers. You occupy the Dan acupoint but are reluctant to share it. Instead, you surround it and wait to seek credit from your superiors. We are willing to share that the mountain people are all brothers, and everyone can absorb the essence of the Dan acupoint. Tomorrow we will attack outside the valley and seize all the Dan acupoints. Before July 15th, it is enough for us to become masters."
It's also tomorrow. Hu Guiyang thought that tomorrow would probably be very lively, "Congratulations to Juren Guo, you will be the founding emperor in the future, right?"
Shi Gui frowned. Although he had known that Hu Guiyang was brave and that this place was a traitor, it was too much to say such words.
Juren Guo was even more surprised than Shi Guida, "How could I be the founding emperor? Heroes emerged among the mountain people, where is my turn?"
"Who could it be?"
Juren Guo immediately alerted, "What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, it's purely curious. Who do you choose to be the chief leader? Is the smartest? The one with the most powerful martial arts? The one with the highest prestige? The one with the oldest age?"
"It's not yet reached this point. The mountain people come from different villages and have their own subordinates. After defeating the officers and soldiers and the situation is stable, we will discuss it."
"No chief yet?"
"No."
"But there must be a few candidates?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, just like when I went to the mountains to inform you, I also inform you this time. I would like to remind you: You think the election leader is still early, but I'm afraid that someone will think it's time."
Juren Guo sneered, "Did you think of us as sinister officials in the court?"
"You just said that when the sacrifice is held on July 15th, you are not afraid of half of the mountain people dying. Isn't anyone more cruel than you? Take action in advance and kill a few more people? Anyway, this does not affect the strength of the mountain people."
Juren Guo was stunned for a while, and a series of swear words appeared in his mouth. He turned around and left, closing the door from outside.
When there was no sound outside, Shi Gui Avenue: "Person Hu is still so good at sowing discord."
"I was provoked in the past, but I never provoked others. Looking back, I still learned this trick from He Baiwan. If I want to provoke a group of people, I will throw it to them a fight. The mountain people want to be emperors, but they already have the desire to compete. There is no need for me to provoke, just point it out."
"I'm afraid that the distance will not quench my thirst, and the officers and soldiers will attack tomorrow morning, and the rebels will also seize the Dan Cave. The battle is imminent, but we can't do anything."
"You are worried about the officers and soldiers, but I am worried about these mountain people. They rely entirely on the Dan Cave. After seizing, they will inevitably divide their troops to guard them. They will not leave easily. They will also take time to absorb the essence every day. The two factories will soon bring a large number of soldiers. If they defeat each one, the mountain people will be defeated."
"What should we do? I think the provocation has been completed, so there is no need to persuade me to surrender. It's better to escape now. I think I can break the wooden wall." Shi Guida took the golden elixir and was quite confident in his skills.
"Wait a little longer, maybe I can persuade them to stay away from the Danzu, or retreat back to the mountains, or surrender on the spot, and settle for the people."
"No one can resist the temptation of the golden elixir except you."
"You said you want to try."
Shi Gui was speechless.
Xiaocao was not interested in the conversation between the two and kept looking at the Dan hole outside, and said, "The red light has weakened, and everyone is dispersing."
Hu Guiyang said: "On the contrary, the red light will weaken when the crowd disperses."
Xiaocao was stunned and became more and more unable to tell what was first and what was later.
The door was opened again, and the person who came in was not Guo Juren, but Yuan Mao, "Prince Hu."
"Hey, you are not dead yet." Hu Guiyang happily greeted him.
Yuan Mao was not dead, but became a prisoner, and he did not show any happiness when he saw Hu Guiyang. "There is a man named Gu Zhongxian who asked you to come over and meet him."
"The Immortal in the Valley? He is not dead yet?" Hu Guiyang was shocked.
Many years ago, it was the immortal of Guzhong who collected many children and brought them from Jingxiang to Duan Tengxia. His understanding of the past was more detailed than anyone else.
