Chapter 17 Persuading to quit

(On Sunday update, please forgive me. I have to keep some extra effort, but I will not stop updating.)

"This family is all liars." Hu Guida saw clearly, "And it was a kind of scammer who had no ability, and could only fool fools and stupid women. When he was a child, he met a god? Hey, nine and a half of ten liars said this. The Prophecy Mr. Storyteller became mute within three days? This was clearly a partnership between two scammers in the world, which was to sell houses. He Tiezui was famous for it and gained a foothold in the capital. Luo Hongshui was going to change the place and re-tell the Three Kingdoms and sell a favor."

Of course, Hu Guiyang was not unfamiliar with these methods, but he just smiled and didn't speak until he entered the city.

"Brother Sanliu, you are still thinking too much. The He family obviously recognized you and deliberately acted in this scene. I guess He Wu's crazy man chased people, and He Sanjie threw stones. They were all for us to show. How could she, a girl, have such great strength? As for He Baiwan, saying these words is nothing more than to upset you."

"Why did he upset me? I am just a godson of Zhao Ying, a hundred households in Jinyi. He is not outstanding among the forty brothers. He is not as good as the eldest brother in terms of popularity, and is not as good as the fifth brother in terms of calmness. He is not as good as the sixteenth brother in terms of martial arts. He is not as good as the thirteenth brother in terms of talent. He is not as good as the thirteenth brother in terms of..."

"Okay!" Hu Guida seemed a little excited, "Even if your doubts are true, shouldn't you find a way to save yourself and others? We will help you."

Hu Guiyang stopped and let the pedestrians passing through the streets open, "Help me? I don't even know who to believe."

"You can trust me." Hu Gui's big eyes were sincere, hoping to get the trust of Sanliu Ge.

Hu Guiyang smiled, "Do you still have the energy to help me with your elder brother and fifth brother at the same time?"

Hu Gui's big face turned red all of a sudden. It was too late to hide it. He was both ashamed and angry, so he left with his hands.

Hu Guiyang caught up and walked side by side with his brother Sanjiu for a while, saying, "You misunderstood. I have no other meaning. Do you remember? That day I asked you to please Wang Zhi."

Hu Gui walked out again with a grand manner. Seeing that he was about to reach Guanyin Temple Hutong, he stopped and his face was a little red, but it was not shame and anger, but excitement. "I am doing things for my elder brother and fifth brother at the same time. I followed you to monitor you, so what? The adoptive father is gone, everyone is looking for a way out, and of course I am no exception, and... Moreover, you always say something strange and do something strange, and everyone is not at ease, so I let me follow you."

Hu Guiyang punched Hu Gui on his shoulder and smiled and said, "Do you work hard, you will definitely become the Jinyiwei, but you must be careful. You can't always step on two boats. Brother, the fifth brother will go his separate ways sooner or later - it's really one east and the other - the later you choose, the less you pay attention to."

Hu Gui was stunned and said after a while: "Where is Brother Sanliu? Choose the East or the West?"

"Me?" Hu Guiyang walked forward and said a few steps later: "If I have to choose, I will let them compete to choose me and see who gave the better conditions."

"Haha." Hu Gui laughed unnaturally, with mocking and enviousness, "I'm afraid the East and West Factory will not be willing. There are many people who want to go to these two places. There are a large number of Jinyiwei, let alone those of us who just stood at the gate of Jinyiwei?"

"If you can turn me into a demon fox, someone will rush to ask for you."

"I'm not that kind of person, and I don't have that ability." Hu Guida denied seriously, "No matter whether I choose to follow my elder brother or my fifth brother in the future, I will never harm another person, nor will I harm my third and sixth brother, because we are brothers, we are all the godsons of our adoptive father. We grew up together and have experienced so many things. We can go their own ways, but we can't harm each other. I...I..."

"I believe you." Hu Guiyang did not laugh, and walked forward again, watching the sky getting dark, "Go home quickly."

Guanyin Temple Hutong is still deserted. When he was about to reach the gate of Zhao's house, Hu Guiyang said: "Brother Sanjiu, I want you to do me a favor."

"You said, I will definitely help." Hu Guida was very happy.

"Watch me sleeping. If something happens to my brother again, you must testify for me."

"Okay, actually everyone believes in you... Okay, I'll look at you. Brother Sanliu, don't sleep in the coffin, the kang in my room is big enough."

"No, I have to sleep there, maybe I can find clues about the body of my adoptive father."

Zhao's house has also returned to normal. The Sixteenth Lang Hu Guiqi woke up and had no worries about his life, which made everyone relieved. The twenty-fourth Lang Hu Guixiao personally apologized to Hu Guiyang and admitted that he had made a mistake. The Three Ninth Brother could not have both rested at home in the capital and ambushed his brothers outside the city.

More than thirty adopted sons gathered together for dinner. First, they poured wine to their adopted father and Sanlang Hu Guijing to pay tribute to them. The eldest eldest Hu Guishen said a few words, but they were nothing more than missing their adopted father and the meaning of brotherly unity. Then the fifth old Hu Guimeng said more and more realistically. The main content was revenge, claiming that he had found important clues and could launch a counterattack within a few days.

Hu Guimeng didn't say what the clue was, but his affirmative tone inspired everyone's confidence and morale.

Many adopted sons have tasks, so they cannot do their best to drink. They drink two or three bowls of each, eat a full meal, and say goodbye one after another.

Hu Guiyang was light and walked a little later. After returning to the front hall, he asked the servant to bring a bucket of hot water, take a shower, and change into comfortable clothes before he was ready to rest.

Hu Guida came with the bedding, but refused to approach the coffin and set up a shop near the wall.

Hu Guiyang lay in the coffin, found the word "Yang", gently stroked it, chatting with Sanjiu brother in a row, waiting for the candle to go out naturally.

The sound was a little dull across the coffin, and both of them had to raise the point.

"Brother Sanliu, did you say you want to go to the south?"

"Well, you still remember."

"Of course, you mentioned it when we went to Jinyiwei together, and said that we had already collected enough travel expenses. If we were a private salt dealer for a few years, we could buy a piece of land to live a leisurely life."

"Yes, that's what I said, why are you moved?"

Hu Guida was silent for a while, "Or, you can go to the south now."

"Haha, you are even more anxious than me." Hu Guiyang was also silent for a while, "Who is this what it means, eldest brother or fifth brother?"

"Don't worry, you don't care anyway. I can get you some money. Not much, a few hundred taels. You can do anything in Jiangnan, and you don't have to sell salt."

"No matter who's the idea, I believe he has good intentions, but - I don't think I can leave, let alone go to Jiangnan."

"If you don't try, how can you know you can't leave? No one is watching you now. You have hands and feet. Don't be too arrogant. Go out of the city in secret and you won't be discovered."

"The net has been scattered. Brother Sanjiu is a big net, and I am just a small fish. It's okay if I don't struggle. Once I struggle, I will not say my pain, and it may also cause more people to be affected."

Hu Gui's loud voice sounded from his head. He walked to the coffin and looked down at Brother Sanliu inside, "Why are you always... not motivated? When you were a child, your adoptive father praised you. In terms of intelligence, only Brother Thirteen can compare with you. Everyone thought you would be one of the first brothers to become the Jinyiwei, but who knew... Alas, when you were looking for the body of your adoptive father, you thought you could cheer up, but as soon as your third brother died, you turned back to your old appearance."

Hu Guiyang smiled and was about to speak when the candle suddenly disappeared. The last ball of residual light shaking and disappeared quickly. Hu Gui hurriedly retreated to the wall and moved away from the coffin.

"I think... I'm just too lazy." Hu Guiyang had many things to say, but he didn't want to say another word, so he yawned a big yawn. "Just talking about the word "lazy", I feel sleepy. Okay, I won't have to chat anymore, I'm going to sleep."

"No, Brother Sanliu, you must cheer up. Some strange things have indeed happened these days. The capital is no longer safe enough for you. At least you can hide outside for a while. Even if you don't think about yourself, you can think about others. If someone really wants to make you a demon fox, you will definitely continue to attack your brothers."

"Do you believe my suspicion?"

"There is no harm in adding more prevention." Hu Guida avoided the question, "It's just that you can't be a hundred households, and Lord Yuan will be angry, but you don't care, right?"

"Yuan Bin only loves official position and power. He doesn't care about his adoptive father, let alone us. Of course, I don't care about his anger. Maybe all this is the conspiracy he planned. He said that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but as long as the emperor speaks, he will believe in anything."

"Forget the conspiracy and leave the capital." Hu Guida advised again.

"Okay, then try it. It's best to be able to stay away from right and wrong."

Hu Guida cheered softly, "I will arrange it tomorrow. If you are quick, you can set out tomorrow night. Of course, it cannot be too late, otherwise the city gate will be closed. You have to prepare a good horse..."

"Ah... I'm sleepy, please be careful, don't let me go out of the house, it's better not to let me dream. He Baiwan said that my dream is very dangerous."

"Don't listen to him. The He family must be bribed. Wait. In a few days, I will take someone to take their whole family out. A little scammer dares to interfere in our family's affairs. It's really bold. Brother Sanliu, have you seen the daughter of the He family? It probably won't look good. Matchmaker Zhang's mouth... Brother Sanliu, are you still awake?"

Hu Guiyang was already asleep and snored slightly.

Hu Gui couldn't sleep. He had experienced a lot in the past few days. The originally clear path and prospects were becoming more and more blurred, but he didn't want to escape and still planned to become a member of the Jinyiwei and then surrender to his more powerful boss.

Unlike his adopted father Zhao Ying, Hu Guida doesn't believe in ghosts or gods. He accepts his adoptive father's later views. Catching demons and seeking immortals is just a means to support his family. Since this is the case, he believes that the higher the status, the more solid the family business is, the more stable it is.

The eldest brother defected to the West Factory, and the fifth brother relied on the East Factory. Hu Guida began to seriously consider his choice, "I can't wait any longer." He whispered to himself, but he still couldn't make a decision.

A gust of wind blew past him for no reason, and Hu Gui got goose bumps all over and sat up all of a sudden. After thinking about it carefully, he had indeed closed the doors and windows, so there shouldn't be a wind in.

"Brother Sanliu." Hu Gui shouted.

There was no response in the coffin. Hu Gui waited for a while and was about to lie down when he heard a scream outside the house.
