Chapter four hundred and sixteen flattery(1/2)
Hu Guiyang held the wine glass with a smile on his face, and the out-of-time smile was like an inappropriate person who was under-drinking but insisted on drinking a big bowl.
Fan Dajian put down his wine glass, "Why are you looking at me with this kind of eyes?"
"You want to find the divine jade?"
"Everyone wants it."
"Retrieve the divine jade, are you handing it in? Or keep it yourself?"
"We are all from the East Palace, so of course we will leave it to the East Palace."
"There are many people from the Eastern Palace, who should I give it to?"
"Who else can I have besides the prince?"
"Then what?"
Fan Dajian was asked guiltyly, "Then... you are such a smart person, can't even understand such a thing?"
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I don't understand at all."
"Of course, it was the prince who absorbed divine power and became the unique alien in the world. From then on, his status was consolidated and there were no more troubles. The Eastern Palace also rose with its status, and we will get benefits immediately."
Hu Guiyang showed a sudden enlightenment, "So that's it. I thought you were going to incite the prince to rebel."
Fan Dajian also suddenly realized, "What are you talking about? Besides, the prince is not that kind of person. Hu Guiyang, your problem is that sometimes you are too smart."
"Come on, drink." Hu Guiyang drank it all in one go.
The two of them drank three drinks in a row, and Fan Dajian said, "Just listen to me, you haven't answered me yet, agree or disagree?"
"Well...I'm thinking about one thing."
"What do you think?"
"After the prince absorbs divine power, he will be valued and favored by the emperor, and he will have no worries from now on, right?"
"Yes, although Your Majesty has several princes, which one can compare with the Prince of Ingenuity?"
"What if you have divine power?"
"I?"
"Imagine that Lingji Palace is still working hard to make medicine, other monks and Taoists are still trying to pretend to be a god, but you are the only living god in this world, and you are respected by everyone. Will your status be more stable than serving the Eastern Palace?"
Fan Dajian really thought for a while and was moved, but he was not so confused that he could not hear the sarcasm, so he put down his wine glass, "Do you think I am also greedy, and I refuse to hand it over after I get the divine jade?"
"Is it considered greed if you didn't send me a single or two in the money you promised me?"
Fan Dajian laughed, "Hu Guiyang, Hu Guiyang, as for what it is, just turn a little money into such a big bend, don't worry, keep the money as a gift when you get married. But I understand what you mean, we can find the whereabouts of Shenyu and ask the prince to pick it up in person, wouldn't it be safe?"
"We are safe. What if that is a trap? Who can be responsible for something happening to the prince?"
Fan Dajian was silent for a long time, "Do you don't plan to contact Shenyu again?"
"No, the farther away from it, the better. Old Taoist, you don't have to give me a gift, just ask me for an antidote from Lingji Palace."
"Are you poisoned?"
"It was Zuo Yu. He lied to me to take the medicine from Lingji Palace and said yes..."
"Two portions of the antidote, take one first, and then take one more portion?"
"Do you know what medicine this is?" Hu Guiyang was overjoyed.
"You have been having stomachache recently, feeling panic and weak, aren't you?"
"The more you say it, the more you become."
"Ah, it's okay, there's no need for an antidote, that's laxative. The biggest harm is that it lasts for a longer period of time, it's going to last for a month? It'll be better in two or three days."
Hu Guiyang was shocked, "Lucidation...but I was panicked, what's wrong with my body's weakness?"
"I feel panic because you think you are poisoned and afraid; physical weakness is simpler. Even if you are a god, you will feel weak in your body every few days."
Hu Guiyang was stunned for a while, "I always remind others not to believe in the trick of pretending to be a ghost, but I was deceived. Zuo Yu is so calm at ordinary times, but he will also... Forget it, he is dead and there is nothing to complain about."
After drinking two more drinks, Fan Dajian said, "I still want to find the divine jade. Can you give me some tips?"
"Where did I get the prompt?"
"A little bit is enough, at least tell me whether Shenyu is in Tongzhou or in the capital."
"Beijing." Hu Guiyang said affirmatively.
"Really?" Fan Dajian's eyes lit up.
"You must choose a place you are familiar with to hide treasures, so as not to be left by unrelated people, like the mistakes I made before. Chen Xun lived in the capital for a long time, so naturally he must be in the capital."
"That's right, you're right, give me a little more tip." Fan Dajian was so excited that he almost begged.
"Well... his family must have been turned over by the Jinyiwei, and his house cannot be escaped, so both of them are not treasures."
"It's not just about the bottom of the sky, but it's really a three-foot-thick-dive. The entire Nansi Outer Office has moved. No place where Chen Xun often goes to avoid disaster, but he just can't find any clues about Shenyu."
"If you can't find a place, you have to find someone."
"Look for someone?"
"Chen Xun may have handed over the divine jade to someone to collect, so he is not in the place he often goes to."
"The East Factory has reviewed Chen Xun's acquaintances, and even the neighbors are not spared. Now there are still people in prison, but there are still no clues."
"Maybe the person who hides the treasure doesn't know that it is divine jade, so he can't confess."
"That's difficult. Unless Chen Xun is resurrected from the dead, who else can find the divine jade?"
"That's all the tips I'll give you."
"This is not called a prompt, this is a guess." Fan Dajian smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, and sighed, "I have always been thinking recently, what a good opportunity, if I could find the divine jade..."
"We might as well start a rebellion. I will be the military advisor, you will be the national tutor, Yuan Mao will be the emperor, and let Liu'er be the..."
Fan Dajian's face suddenly changed and he hurried over to cover his mouth, "Ancestor, don't talk nonsense, this is the capital, not the wilderness village."
"You were the ones who thought about it first." Hu Guiyang pushed away the old Taoist's hand.
"Okay, I won't say anything. We're just drinking. You don't have to worry about the antidote and Shi Guida. I don't even cheer up the god of gods. I'm OK?"
Fan Dajian returned home drunk and did not mention the divine jade again.
Hu Guiyang slept until almost noon. Lao Qiang brought the basin in and smiled and said, "The master is awake, the carpenter is here to ask for wages."
"carpenter?"
"The carpenter who built a house in the mansion."
Hu Guiyang quickly washed up, and Lao Qiang nagged, "Master, don't blame me for being timid and afraid of things before. It's really... there are too many Jinyiwei, whoever is afraid of seeing anyone. But Mrs. Hua is right. Even so many Jinyiwei didn't capture the master, that's all..."
"Take me to meet the carpenter." Hu Guiyang said.
The person who came was the elder Bai Sheng. He chatted for a few words and waited for the servant to leave, and immediately said: "We thought Captain Hu would not come back."
"You have chosen the leader again?"
"No, I've been looking for Shenyu."
“Not found yet?”
"We have been searching many places and asking many people before the Jinyiwei, but we found nothing. Instead, we attracted the attention of the Dongchang Factory and sent someone to warn us once."
"So you gave up?"
"I didn't give up, and I was still looking for clues in secret. Captain Hu, it's good that you come back. Everyone discusses that this matter must be presided over by Captain Hu, and no one else can do it."
“Is it good to host this?”
"Of course, the position of the leader..."
"I am already the leader of the sect, but you don't recognize me, and I still call me "Captain Captain". And I have thought that I am an outsider and I am not familiar with you in the sect. Even if I become the real leader, I will most likely be undermined, which is meaningless."
Bai Sheng smiled and said, "Person Hu, no, Master Hu, who dares to underestimate you when you have the divine jade?"
"Will you find the divine jade be delivered to me?"
"Of course, the divine jade belongs to the leader, and the leader is definitely willing to share it with us, right? We don't want much, it's enough. Just be an ordinary alien."
Hu Guiyang nodded, "This is fair. You should step down first. Let me think about it. Chen Xun is just a clerk. Can he still hide the divine jade in the sky?"
"The leader takes action, and this time I will find jade will definitely succeed." Bai Sheng said happily.
Hu Guiyang pretended to be airs, did not get up to see the guests, and sat in the hall and murmured: "Forget it, Bai Sheng was originally a man, but he also learned to flatter for the sake of Shenyu..."
The matter was not over yet. Hu Guiyang had just had a few bites of food, and someone came to visit him again. This time it was Wei Ying from the West Factory.
Wei Ying was full of spring breeze, and as soon as she entered the hall, she bowed and smiled: "I heard yesterday that Captain Hu returned to Beijing. I thought that Captain Hu would have to rest more time, so I waited until today to visit."
Hu Guiyang pointed to the food on the table and said, "Do you want to have something?"
"No." Wei Ying waved her hand and sat down by herself.
Hu Guiyang ignored him and ate on his own. Wei Ying sat down for a while, feeling a little embarrassed. Seeing Hu Guiyang put down his chopsticks, he hurriedly said, "I'm here, one is to visit, and the other is..."
"Wait." Hu Guiyang picked up the spoon to drink the soup, then continued to eat, neither too late, until the rice in the bowl was left, and then he smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with Wei Baihu?"
