Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth

Hu Guiyang picked up the receiver and took it seriously. He also smiled and said, "Please keep the things. There are enough rooms in Zhao's house. You two go and arrange your residence for everyone, and then reassign the order of using the golden elixir, draw lots and stick-scissors, and ensure that everyone has a share."

"That's all?" Jiang Dongxia was a little surprised and felt that it was meaningless to be a "leader".

"After the arrangement is made, I will choose two guards for me, the kind that can go out with me."

Jiang Dongxia nodded, "Well, the situation is critical now, and Captain Hu does need bodyguards."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "My life is not worthy of the protection of two aliens. They need to be protected."

Hu Guiyang took out two red jades and placed them on the table, "In the past, they were hung on the dog's neck, and from now on I will keep it myself, so as not to kill the dog and seize the pill on a whim."

Jiangdongxia, Guan Mutong's expression changed at the same time, and returned to normal at the same time. Guan Mutong raised his head and smiled: "I'm talking too much, two guards are probably not enough. Li Xingtian is not an ordinary person. Before, the seven of us worked together and they were killed by him..."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that Li Xingtian does not lack golden elixir at all. He is more skilled than you. Perhaps it is just using the power of golden elixir?"

Jiang Dongxia frowned slightly, "It's not that I didn't think about it, but all the best golden elixirs in the world came from five pill acupoints, with less than 200 total. Hu Xiaowei, Gu Zhongxian and the imperial court each took away a batch. The remaining golden elixirs were not of very good quality. Where did Li Xingtian get a large amount of golden elixirs?"

"This is another problem. Li Xingtian's skills are higher than others, and they can only be related to the golden elixir. In short, I guess his ambition is not to grab the golden elixir. You just choose a good guard for me."

The two of them should have stood up and prepared to leave.

Hu Guiyang smiled at Yuan Mao standing by the wall, and Fan Dajian said, "If you have something to say, don't wink at me."

Yuan Mao's face turned red, Fan Dajian stepped forward and pretended to be fearless, "That Guan Mutong, what's the anti-poem you recited in Tongxingpu before? What's the matter with 'killing the head of a rooster with one knife, and the world will never be clear from now on.' Are you going to kill the emperor and destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

Guan Mutong smiled and said, "How can I have this courage? Actually, this is Li Xingtian's sentence. Does it mean to rebel? You should ask him, I just borrow it and attract two of you to follow me."

Jiang Dongxia said: "Li Xingtian loves to write such a crooked poem the most, he is arrogant and unruly, arrogant and arrogant, and there is also 'Heaven does not follow my wishes, I am Xingtian,' and 'There is no fair thing in the world, Xingtian dances with anger' and so on.'

"This is a madman." Fan Dajian murmured, "Why didn't the court arrest him?"

Guan Mutong smiled bitterly, but Jiang Dongxia replied: "Li Xingtian had been walking in Jiangnan before. He only followed Yiren to the capital a few days ago. In fact, he followed many soldiers behind him. He escaped several times of encirclement and suppression. The government was seriously injured and dared not chase him too tightly."

"Hey, this person is very interesting. I really want to meet him." Hu Guiyang smiled.

Guan Mutong hurriedly said, "Person Hu must not have this idea. Li Xingtian regards human life as a mustard. If he meets him, there is no good thing. Even if a stranger acts as a guard, it will be difficult to keep his safety."

"Didn't Li Xingtian claim to kill only two aliens at a time? My two guards are just enough."

Guan Mutong was stunned, Jiang Dongxia said: "Person Hu likes to joke. As the saying goes, "Person Hu dares to take in Yiren. There is a perfect way for us to worry about it."

Guan Mutong smiled and bowed to Jiang Dongxia.

After the two of them closed the door and walked away, Yuan Mao said, "Do you have a perfect way?"

"I don't even have the method of 'all-round'." Hu Guiyang put away his jade pendant and stood up, "Let's go and bring Mrs. Hua and the others in."

"You hope to attract a real stranger, but you have no plans in your heart?" Yuan Mao was a little angry.

"For more than twenty aliens, we must first eliminate the suspicious ones." Hu Guiyang still looked indifferent.

Yuan Mao was even more angry because he and Fan Dajian once risked their lives to eavesdrop on the battle between Yiren, and now it seems worthless. "Are you so sure there are spies among Yiren?"

"Look at me, then look at the big cake." Hu Guiyang pointed at himself and the dog, "If you were Yi Ren, would you willingly come to join us?"

"Wang." Da Ping shouted.

Fan Dajian was honest, "Definitely not, but there are four aliens here, so I will come and check it out."

"That's right, so no matter what I do, whether it is passion or cold, it will not affect the final result. Naturally, someone guides these Yiren to accept all my performances and persuades them to stay. The imperial court had long wanted to attract Yiren, but it has not been successful. I happened to return to Beijing and became the best tool to attract him."

There are many rumors about Hu Guiyang, and it is indeed more susceptible to the trust of Yiren.

Yuan Mao looked ashamed, "Sorry, I shouldn't doubt you."

"Don't, keep your suspicion, it's important at any time. Come on, let's learn from Li Xingtian, and let's do a "get rid of the false and keep the truth" first."

The courtyard and the alley were all empty, and a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the alley. When Hu Guiyang and the other two walked out, they immediately started to talk.

Wei Ying was more courageous and took a few steps, asking with a puzzled look: "Is it done?"

"Well, more than twenty aliens are allocating rooms. Everyone can go back, pack up their things and prepare for dinner."

Lady Hua squeezed out of the crowd, "Is the house still there?"

“Basically complete.”

"More than twenty people? There are not so many things at home, and there are not even enough beds."

"Buy it, you can spend the money anyway, the West Factory will bear it anyway. Right, Wei Baihu?"

Wei Ying said with a gloomy face. Things went smoothly, but he was not very happy. He first said to a lieutenant: "Let everyone go." He then whispered to Hu Guiyang: "Please talk to the store, the factory has sent someone."

Everyone dispersed and kept talking. The closer the residents to Zhao's house, the less they dared to go home. They wanted to stay on the street and observe for a while.

In the small teahouse next to him, the shopkeeper and the guy were not there. Huo Shuangde sat alone at the table, disdaining the tea provided in the store.

"Mr. Huo, long time no see, why are you free to come today?" Hu Guiyang smiled and greeted him, sat down without hesitation, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp, "It's really thrilling, I almost couldn't get out, right? Is it worrying to Manager Huo?"

Huo Shuangde snorted coldly and said reluctantly: "The factory man said, 'If you can keep all the strange people safely, Hu Guiyang has done a good job and made a contribution. If something unexpected happens, Hu Guiyang will come to see you."

"The factory man really understands me." Hu Guiyang smiled, "Are you going to reward me for merit now, or will you talk about it later?"

"Of course I'll talk about it later. The factory asked me to ask you, is the case progressing?"

"Don't Wei Baihu hand in handing out a note every day?"

"The factory said, you must have done a lot of things on your back, and asked you to tell me in person, and you must not hide it."

Wei Ying stood at the door of the store and turned red when she heard this.

"The factory man wronged me, and even more wronged Wei Baihu. He stared at me firmly and didn't even let go of my dreams."

Wei Ying's face turned redder.

"If there is no progress, please tell me, I will reply to the factory as it is." Huo Shuangde was quite impatient.

"There's a bit. The news I just got was that there was an arrogant boy named Li Xingtian who killed several strange people, but he only arrived in the capital a few days ago, so it's probably irrelevant to the previous murder case."

"That's that there's no progress?" Huo Shuangde was not surprised at all by the name "Li Xingtian".

"Yes, the two assassins are likely to be in contact. If you find Li Xingtian, you may be able to find the assassins in the capital."

“What’s the connection?”

"The two assassins are both bright and dark, but they all think of themselves very well, and they must feel a sense of mutual appreciation, either joining forces or fighting against each other."

"This is your guess, not to count as progress."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "Masters must pay attention to each other. Not only are martial arts, but they are not exceptional in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays. Even the factory owner wants to compete with the East Factory?"

"Rareless!" Huo Shuangde slapped the table and stood up.

"Is it presumptuous or not? Is it considered progress? Let the factory decide, so General Manager Huo tells me if it is true."

"Hey, do you think I'll cover it up for you?"

"Haha, it's better not to hide it, but it's not like me if you hide it. Is there anything wrong with General Manager Huo?"

Huo Shuangde waved his hand, and Hu Gui raised himself to the door, "Let's go, Wei Baihu, we still have some serious things to do."

"What are you doing?" Wei Ying's face changed.

"The Lantern Festival is over. Let's continue to go to the Princess's Mansion to knock on the door. Maybe the housekeeper will let me in."

Wei Ying didn't say anything, Hu Shuangde said angrily: "Hu Guiyang, are you done? If you go to harass the princess, the factory will not be able to protect you."

Hu Guiyang turned around and smiled and said, "I have a premonition that the death of Prince Lou must be related to Yiren. If I don't check it clearly, I feel uneasy and can't convey it to the factory. The factory can protect me the best. If I can't, I'm wrong and entered the wrong yamen."

Huo Shuangde laughed furiously, "You said it, I will transfer it to the factory without saying a word."

Hu Guiyang bowed and said, "Thank you."

After walking out of the store, Hu Guiyang said to Yuan Mao who was waiting outside, Fan Dajian: "I have a lot of people here, so you two will go home first. Come and come to me if you have something to do. You can come and have a drink if you have nothing to do."

The two understood that they wanted to continue to investigate whether there were strange rituals inside and outside the capital, so they bowed to their goodbye together.

Most of the people on the street dispersed. Hu Guiyang looked at the Shi House opposite and asked, "Has Shi Baihu not come back yet?"

"I don't know." Wei Ying behind her said coldly.

Hu Guiyang didn't care, and waved to Jiang Erpi in the distance and Zheng Sanhun, "You two are still here, go and lead two horses."

"The house... is really safe?"

"Miss Hua is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

The two of them had no choice but to leave but had no place to spend the winter, so they had to go to the alley slowly.

Huo Shuangde took his people away, and the entrance of the alley became more deserted. Wei Ying took a step closer and bowed: "Sorry, I have to hold on in front of General Manager Huo. Actually, I really admire Captain Hu. The factory man really has vision. If someone else changes to these strange people."

"Hey, you pretended to be like this just now."

"Person Hu doesn't care about anything you can do."

"My heart is empty, I have nothing, and I can't let go of anything."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and neither believed in each other.

Jiang and Zheng came back with a horse with a stiff expression and a stiffer pace, like two walking puppets, because they not only brought horses, but also followed two people.

"My name is Xiao Tan." The young man bowed.

The other one is Zhao Aqi, "Is it okay for us to serve as guards for our senior brother?"

"Yes, if you need to take action, you will fight you. I will take responsibility."

The two of them said in unison.

Wei Ying whispered: "Aren't we going to the princess's mansion? This is..."

"It's lively." Hu Guiyang replied casually, feeling that the excitement was coming.
