The old Wu Hu Gui sent someone to secretly follow the assassin last night, found his place of stay, and immediately arrested him.

Of course, Hu Guiyang refused to miss such an opportunity, "Is it time to set off?"

"After half an hour, you prepare and I'll call you later. That's our brothers, there are no outsiders." Hu Guijian gave a special reminder, then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Hu Guiyang had nothing to prepare, so he carried the card and wooden sign with him. He found a handy waist knife. When he returned to the front hall, he saw the eunuch Yun Dan still there and said, "It's nothing wrong today. When will I interrogate Li Zilong?"

"It's tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's more troublesome to bring Li Zilong out of the palace, so you need to arrange it."

"Very good, please inform me any time if you have any news."

"Okay." Yun Dan still had no intention of saying goodbye.

"You have something to do?"

Yun Dan hesitated for a moment, "Did the assassin of last night really mention the Sacrifice Peak?"

"Many people have heard it. What else do you know? We are better off taking the same boat together now."

"That's right. Speaking of the Sacrifice Peak, I remember some rumors from many years ago and didn't take them seriously at that time."

Hu Guiyang sat down, "The rumors about Duan Tengxia?"

"Yes, at that time, the army besieged Duanteng Gorge. It is rumored that the reason why the rebels dared to fight with the officers and soldiers was because they were about to invite heavenly soldiers and generals, or attract thunder and earth fire. So the officers and soldiers also transferred a large number of monks and Taoists from all over the country to work together to suppress the arrogance of the thieves and protect the safety of the officers and soldiers."

Hu Guiyang couldn't help but smile.

Yun Dan said: "Of course, no matter how you explain this, your adoptive father thought it was a farce, but no matter what, after the monks and Taoists performed a ritual for several days, the officers and soldiers went all out of fear, and then they broke through the thief camp in one go."

Hu Guiyang put away his smile, "It's fairer not to help each other."

"The traitor doesn't think so. It is said that the thief leader was very angry. He killed a large number of mages in anger. After the officers and soldiers broke through Duan Teng Gorge, they killed another group, and only less than ten people were captured alive. Later, they were all beheaded and displayed in public. Before these mages were executed, I participated in the interrogation."

Yun Dan paused and tried to recall the details of that year. "Others confessed honestly and begged for forgiveness, with only one mage exception. He was arrogant and refused to surrender after being severely tortured. Instead, he claimed that the evil sacrifice did not fail, but it was a little late and would take effect sooner or later. In short, he said many ruthless words, but who would take it seriously? He simply killed it. Looking back now, the assassin's words last night were somewhat similar to the mage."

"What is the name of the wizard?"

"He is a Han Chinese, and his surname should be Wen. I can't remember what he is named. At that time, he was just one of the many prisoners. Perhaps I was thinking too much. The assassin probably came to assassinate Lord Hu just to protect the demon fox. He heard that Lord Hu came from Duan Tengxia, so he just made a fool of himself. Anyway, he was almost the same when he talked wildly."

Hu Guiyang thought for a while and smiled, "Thank you for your memories. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so honest."

"Because I really want to find out the demon fox and find out whether he is a human or a demon."

"Aren't you always sure he is a demon?"

"I am sure of Lingji Palace, but Taoists...ah, do you still remember the jade I mentioned?"

"I met the evil-resistant jade that turned into a fever?"

"Yes, I went to Lingji Palace again yesterday, and the Taoists finally told the truth."

"They've tampered with jade?"

Yun Dan's face turned pale and was obviously very angry. "They applied medicine on the jade in advance. As long as they rubbed it with their hands frequently, they would get hot over time. After all, they would return to normal. When Mr. Wang saw Lord Hu that day, he happened to get hot."

"The Taoists also said that the evil-proof jade often has fever now."

"Lingji Palace is afraid that it will not be explained clearly, so it simply applies more medicine and claims that the magic weapon fails. Alas, for so many years, I have always believed in Lingji Palace, but everything ends up being fake."

For Yun Dan, the most serious blow was the monster hunt that night. The demon fox that had been agreed upon had nothing to do with Hu Guiyang at all. The Taoist priests ran away in a panic, which disappointed him.

"So you don't believe in ghosts and gods now?"

Yun Dan showed a hint of surprise, "Of course I believe it, and I am more determined than before, but I no longer believe in Lingji Palace. There must be ghosts and gods in the world. Otherwise, how can I explain the adventures that Lord Hu has come these days?"

"I?"

"I saw the thunder and white light that night with my own eyes. I thought Lord Hu would die, but you were still alive. And the assassin last night, who could control others by seeing thin threads? Who can still be alive after controlling them?"

The old eunuch looked at Hu Guiyang with a few more flashes, as if he was respectful and greedy.

Hu Guiyang was so angry that he was staring at him, "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes, it seems like I am... a precious medicinal material."

"How could it be? The world is like a flood. Some people make medicine and some people make medicine. Lord Hu has got rid of his identity as 'doing medicine' and is a noble person in medicine."

"You said you no longer believe in Lingji Palace, and your speech is the same as theirs."

"The Taoist priests in Lingji Palace are not good, but the sutras and treatises they passed on still make sense. Lord Hu, if I read it correctly, you are at least half-immortal, but you have not yet awakened. Once you are enlightened by the master, you will definitely achieve something."

Hu Guiyang stood up and looked at Yun Dan up and down, "I just said you are honest, you are a little scared by me now."

"I only have a heart to seek immortality, and I have no other intentions."

"It's your 'intellectual seeking immortality' that is a bit scary. Go back, bring Li Zilong out quickly." Hu Guiyang emphasized his tone slightly. Yun Dan was not angry, but instead showed a hint of joy. He bowed and stepped back, and then stood up straight after leaving the door.

"No wonder the emperor likes eunuchs." Hu Guiyang had to admit that although he still did not trust Yun Dan at all, the old eunuch's servitude and respectful eyes did make him relax some of his vigilance.

Thirteen Lang Hu Gui didn't come, and someone else was looking at the door.

"Come in if you have something to do." Hu Guiyang shouted.

Several people outside pushed each other, and finally Li Banzhu came in alone in the ward. After saluting, he said, "Do you have time? There is something... this... I want to say it."

"It's the matter with that guard? I'm so sorry, I almost forgot that he has family, and I'll pay for the resettlement fee."

"Xiao Zhangfei is alone and has no relatives in the capital. And since he is in the hospital guard industry, how can he not have any faults? Last night's incident was considered a poor life, so he was buried properly. We... have something else."

"Please say it."

Li Bantu looked back and Hu Guiyang also looked at him. Not only the people hiding outside were guarding the yard, but also the chefs and other newly recruited servants.

"We hope to quit our job." Li Bandu finally said it.

"Do you think the wages are low?"

"It has nothing to do with wages, we don't want the money for the past two days. It's just... it's just..." Li Bandu said embarrassedly again.

Someone outside said to him: "We can only serve living people and cannot deal with monsters."

Hu Guiyang understood and smiled and said, "So that's it. Okay, I won't force it. The salary for this month is calculated as per the month. I will go out later. I will send it to you when I come back."

Li Bandu waved his hand quickly, "We haven't been here for a few days in total..."

Another voice came from outside the door, "If it is a reward from the Lord, we will be disrespectful."

"Yes, it's a reward. You guys wait for me... I will come back before dark."

Li Ban was unable to stop and waved to the people outside, "Since that's the case, why don't you come in and thank the master for your kindness?"

More than a dozen people came in one after another, thanked Hu Guiyang together, and then withdrew one by one. Li Bantu stayed and explained a few more words, "Mr. Hu, it's really not that we don't want to stay, it's really... there are too many strange things, and it's useless for us to stay. Just like last night, we didn't work at all, and we couldn't even issue a warning in advance, and we were just wasting silver and food."

Hu Guiyang clasped his fists and said, "At the critical moment, you didn't leave, which shows your loyalty. I hope you can recruit you to be a guard in the future."

Li Bandu didn't dare to give a positive answer, but just thanked him blindly.

After sending Li Bantu out of the front hall, Hu Guiyang sat alone for a while and said to himself: "It's so fast, I'm lonely again. No, there are two people in the backyard. Let's see how long they can last."

When Hu Guiyang said the word "persistence", he immediately thought of He Sanjie'er, and always felt that he must have been very familiar with her back then, "Has we ever made a baby marriage?"

Shisanlang Hu Guijian came and said at the door: "Let's go, don't bring a knife."

The fifth old Hu Guimeng personally took action, but did not lead too many people, only the Thirteenth Lang Hu Guijian, the Sixteenth Lang Hu Guiqi, the Thirteenth Lang Hu Guiyang, and the Thirty-Nineth Lang Hu Guida.

Hu Guida had already defected to his elder brother Hu Guishen, and was both surprised and nervous about being selected. He rode on the horse and said nothing, and did not say hello when he saw Brother Sanliu.

The five people got on the horses separately, and Hu Gui said fiercely: "Follow closely, you are not allowed to take action without my order."

Although Hu Guiyang was the emperor's investigator, he was no different from other brothers at this time, and he should have the same voice.

Hu Guimeng took the lead, and five people rode out of Guanyin Temple Hutong, turned south, and left Chongwenmen, and soon turned to Shenmuchang Street.

Hu Guiyang recognized this road and guessed that they were going to the Temple of Fire.

Sure enough, Hu Guimeng stopped at the gate of the Fire God Temple and jumped off his horse.

A beggar ran over at the door and took the reins.

Hu Guimeng looked around and asked, "The person has arrived?"

The beggar replied, "I'll wait for the Lord to show it."

The horses were tied up, and the beggars led the way. Five adopted sons of the Zhao family walked into the Fire God Temple and walked around the back.

There were no people in the temple, but there were more than a dozen people. Hu Guiyang recognized these people at a glance, all disguised officers and soldiers.

"Are you ready?" Hu Gui asked in a hurry.

One person stepped forward, "Everything is right, the thief is still in the underground secret room and has not come out."

“There is no other exit?”

"The secret room is small and there is only one exit."

"Okay." Hu Guimeng faced more than a dozen officers and soldiers, "This thief is very skilled and is especially good at light skills. Don't take it lightly."

"Yes." The officers and soldiers replied softly.

Hu Guimeng waited for a while and "set a magic gun."

The three officers and soldiers opened the long bag they carried with them and took out the weapons from them.

Hu Guiyang knew that this thing was a bird gun, also known as a magic gun, and was specially used by the soldiers of the Shenji Camp. The fifth brother could even mobilize such a magic weapon, which was beyond his expectations.

"Fifth brother is capable." Hu Guiyang secretly praised in his heart, and at the same time he was wondering, the Fire God Temple was investigated by officers and soldiers a few days ago, so why did the nameless assassin hide here?
