Chapter 233 True Ability
The four lieutenants walked straight in and searched the little Hu's house carefully. Even the two dog holes were bent down to look at the living creatures, but they looked at them as if nothing had happened. Hu Guiyang stood at the door of the living room with a big cake, trying to say hello but couldn't find the gaze that was willing to look at him.
After the search was completed, the four corners of the yard of the lieutenant branch station.
The two young eunuchs and two servants also came to the housekeeper without invitation, without opening their mouths, signaling them that they needed this place with their eyes.
Hu Guiyang and Da Ping made a few steps away. The servant put down the armchair in his hand. The little eunuch laid a soft cushion and a hand warmer, and covered it with a layer of cushion to keep the heat.
Hu Guiyang had seen Wang Zhi many times. This was the first time he had seen some of his pomp, and he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, thinking that the treatment of the West Factory Mansion was really not comparable to that of an ordinary lieutenant.
After a while, Wang Zhi led several people into the yard in a hurry.
Everyone saluted, and the two eunuchs next to the chair immediately picked up the upper cushions and hand warmers.
Wang Zhi sat down, and his entourage arranged to both sides and squeezed Hu Guiyang to the kitchen door. Da Ping had never seen such a formation before. He fled into the kitchen with his tail and never came out again.
Wang Zhi frowned slightly, as if he was having something to worry about. After a moment, he nodded his head and followed Huo Shuangde and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's start."
Tong Feng was already ready, walked to the end of the courtyard, first bowed to the factory, and then waited for his opponent to enter the venue.
Hu Guiyang leaned over and looked at Wang Zhi, "It's not yet evening."
Except for Wang Zhi, everyone looked at him with accusation and cold eyes. Hu Guiyang smiled, "It's okay to compete in advance, I just confirm."
Hu Guiyang cleared his throat and walked to the other end of the courtyard. He wore a long coat he had bought with Jiang Erpi. He moved his shoulders and said to Tong Feng opposite him: "New clothes, please be gentler. You can slap your face, try to touch your body as little as possible."
The hem of the robe was almost hanging to the feet, and there were not many places to start. Tong Feng glanced at Wang Zhi.
Huo Shuangde took a step forward, "This is a competition, not a joke. Except for not being able to use weapons, you can fight anywhere. Whether you live or die, it depends on your ability."
"So serious?" Hu Guiyang showed surprise.
"Hey, do you understand?" Huo Shuangde never liked Hu Guiyang and sneered, "Hu Guiyang, if you have low skills, why should you do things in the West Factory? If you practice magical skills secretly, even if you have the ability to understand the sky and the earth, you have to use it for the factory. How can you hide it?"
"My skills are not high or low, and I can't do anything, but I am enough to serve the factory." Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
Huo Shuangde's face sank, "Speaking cleverly is awesome, Hu Guiyang, it's useless to say more. Today I want to see your true skills."
"You really don't have to be a master of martial arts, right? For example, you didn't leave much skill in Yunyang City, right? You just can flatter me, so can I."
Huo Shuangde's face became even more ugly, "I am the factory's personal entourage, and I am loyal, can you compare to?"
Wang Zhi finally couldn't bear it and cursed, "Sit here for a long time, just listening to you two, is it over? Hurry up and start, I'll go back to the palace before dark."
Huo Shuangde's face turned red. He stopped talking to Hu Guiyang and called Tong Feng to signal that he could make a move.
Tong Feng did not show off his posture, took a step forward, accumulating energy in his body, and crackling joints.
"Wait." Hu Guiyang stretched out his left arm to stop Tong Feng from coming, and slowly entered his arms with his right hand. "I will put the weapon aside first to avoid accidentally using it later."
Huo Shuangde looked angry and glanced at Wang Zhi without saying anything.
Hu Guiyang first took out a dagger and placed it on the snow pile by the wall, and then took out a few small things one after another, "Don't break it."
Finally, his arms were empty, Hu Guiyang turned around and looked at Wang Zhi, and said with a smile: "Does the factory man need a clerk? I can also be considered aware of the words and have learned some ways to be an official from my adoptive father."
Wang Zhi didn't say anything, Tong Feng approached again. The yard was not very big. He walked in a few steps and his right fist flew. When Hu Guiyang dodged, he punched his left fist and hit his chest in front of him.
Tong Feng's moves were extremely simple, which was extremely fast, accurate and ruthless. Hu Guiyang flew backwards like a paper man, hit the wall, and then fell heavily, not moving for a long time.
Tong Feng was quite surprised that the opponent was really vulnerable, so he turned his head again for instructions.
Wang Zhi still said nothing, Huo Shuangde laughed briefly, "It's so weak. It seems that he has not left any skills, but he is not worthy of working in the West Factory..."
"What a hard fist." Hu Guiyang, who was lying on the snow pile in the corner of the wall, actually stood up slowly, rubbed his chest, and said in a hoarse voice: "Fortunately, I have been practicing martial arts hard for a while recently, and I can finally bear it..."
Before he could say far, Tong Feng made another move. He had roughly figured out Hu Guiyang's background, basically without using false moves, and greeted him one by one without any mercy.
Hu Guiyang leaned against the wall, barely able to fall down, and was beaten more often. He occasionally used a move, and he couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
After more than ten punches, Tong Feng stopped, took a few steps back, turned to face Wang Zhi, with a hint of surprise on his face.
Huo Shuangde was also surprised, "No one has ever been able to get more than five punches from Tong Feng, Hu Guiyang...Is this a special thing?"
"What's the ability to get beaten? The West Factory is the yamen for arresting people, not the prisoner who was arrested." That's right, Wang Zhi also felt strange, "Come here."
Hu Guiyang had a bruised face and a bloody corner of his mouth. When he heard the call, he stepped forward, left the wall and walked slowly, and his face was still trying to show a smile, "It's just a fist, it's not a knife, it's okay to take a few strokes."
By the side of Tong Feng, Hu Guiyang suddenly made a move and hit Tong Feng on the cheek with his right punch. The punch was fast enough, but Tong Feng's reaction was faster. He avoided the sideways and grabbed Hu Guiyang's wrist.
"Let me try to see the six directions. It's not bad. Walking outside in the future can block the sneak attack." Hu Guiyang grinned.
Tong Feng let go of his hand and took two steps back.
Hu Guiyang walked to Wang Zhi, and stood there shakingly, with a smile on his face as if he had just sneaked out of the underworld execution ground, "Does the factory think I am okay?"
Wang Zhi's brows became tighter and tighter. You are quite good at beating, but what's the use? What the Western Factory lacks is a powerful person who can break into the den of a dragon's and a tiger's den, not a meat cushion.
"If the factory doesn't carry a cushion one day and it's very cold, won't it be for me?" Hu Guiyang said with a smile.
"This is not like what you can say, Hu Guiyang, aren't you usually very arrogant? The first time I heard you speak soft words." Wang Zhi was a little surprised.
"The factory man really scared me. His life is at stake. I don't dare to act arrogant anymore." Although Hu Guiyang smiled ugly, he became more and more flattering.
Huo Shuangde whispered: "This kid refused to kneel down when begging for mercy. I haven't seen him kneel down to the factory. He obviously was dissatisfied and underestimated the factory."
"Yes, I am the Xichang Factory Mansion designated by Your Majesty himself. The cabinet ministers saw that I was still polite. You are so many of you? You are just a small lieutenant. How dare you stand up and not kneel down?"
"The factory inspected the situation clearly, it was not that he didn't want to kneel down, it was because he was beaten too much, and his legs were painful and stiff, so he couldn't kneel down."
"It's all excuses. If it were me, I would rather lie on the ground than stand and reply to the factory." Huo Shuangde did not gain any skills in Yunyang Mansion, and his ability to fan the flames increased a lot.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to lift up the hem of the robe and bend his legs slowly, "I tried my best to meet the factory."
"Let me hear what this is called, and I pay homage to the factory, and I actually say I am trying my best. This person is not upright in his mind and will be..."
Hu Guiyang's knees were about to touch the ground, so he jumped up, and pounced on Wang Zhi, pushing him to the ground with his chair.
No one expected that such a scene would happen. Wang Zhi had to cover the sky with his hands in the West Factory. Not to mention a lieutenant, even if there were hundreds of households, he would have to wait for death after offending the factory. He would never dare to resist openly, let alone attack directly.
Among the entourages brought by Wang Zhi, the highest martial arts master was Tong Feng, but he took a few steps in a row just now, and he was too far away. Although he jumped in a flash, he was still one step late.
Hu Guiyang turned over and lay on the ground, blocked half of his body with Wang Zhi, strangled his neck with his right hand, held a dagger in his left hand and lowered the other side of his neck with his left hand, and sternly said: "Everyone retreat!"
When he was knocked down just now, he secretly hid the dagger in his sleeve, and no one noticed it.
Everyone then realized that their faces changed. They did not dare to go forward or leave. They were in a hurry for a moment.
"Back back!" Hu Guiyang shouted again.
Wang Zhi was so slammed that he rolled his eyes and couldn't speak. Huo Shuangde finally woke up a little, spread his arms and ordered everyone to retreat, and said in a trembling voice: "Hu Guiyang, don't do anything randomly, this is the crime of killing the whole family."
"Haha, I'm a single man, and there's only one dog at home. Where can I get the whole family?"
Huo Shuangde was stunned, "Then don't do anything randomly. Do you want to suffer from Lingchi's suffering from thousands of swords?"
"I'm dead, I still care about the way to die?" Hu Guiyang said more and more ruthlessly, completely dying. He was talking to Huo Shuangde, but his eyes were staring at Tong Feng. As long as this person had any abnormal movement, he would stab the dagger in.
Huo Shuangde was helpless and was very scared. If the factory owner died here, their followers would also be unlucky. "Let the factory owner go, and you will be spared."
"What you said doesn't count, I want to listen to Wang Zhi's words in person."
Huo Shuangde had a bitter face, his legs weakened, and he knelt down, "My Grandpa Hu, you are about to strangle the factory to death, why do you ask the factory to speak?"
Hu Guiyang then realized that he had used too much force, and he let go of his right arm a little, and did not forget to remind him, "The factory must not struggle, the dagger does not recognize anyone."
Wang Zhi took a few breaths, but did not struggle, but cursed.
Hu Guiyang was not angry at all and advised: "The factory owner wants to kill my ancestors? He has to find who my ancestors are first. I don't even know what my biological parents look like. If the factory owner can find it, it would be a big help."
Wang Zhi was tired of scolding. Seeing that Hu Guiyang still refused to let go, the dagger was pressing against his neck and became colder and colder. He had to force himself to say, "I won't kill you, okay? Get out of the West Factory for me, don't let me see you again from now on."
"Speak for sure?"
Wang Zhi scolded a few more times, "So many people testify, can I fart when I speak?"
"Thank you for not killing the factory." Hu Guiyang slowly let go of his arm and moved the dagger away.
Eunuchs such as Huo Shuangde rushed forward and helped the factory up. Tong Feng and other guards stepped forward at the same time, standing between Hu Guiyang and Wang Zhi, ready to wait at any time.
Hu Guiyang stood up with great effort and smiled at Wang Zhi through the wall: "The ability to be beaten is useless to the Western Factory. Go deep into the tiger's den and take the enemy's ability? Will the factory still drive me away?"
Wang Zhi was rubbing his neck, and when he heard this, he was stunned.
