Chapter 61 Cousin
(Please collect and recommend)
"The power of the Emperor's Fire, the sorrow of heaven and earth." Hu Guiyang waited silently after saying that.
He Wu clumsy muttered, but Hu Guiyang couldn't hear it clearly, so he had to take two steps forward and vaguely heard words such as "sky card", "land card", etc. It turned out that He Wu clumsy was still gambling in his dream.
"The power of the Emperor's Fire, the sorrow of heaven and earth." Hu Guiyang raised his voice slightly.
He Wu's madman stopped muttering, and even his breathing slowed down. After a while, he said a few words, and every word was clear, completely different from dream talk, but Hu Guiyang couldn't understand at all.
"What?"
He Wu recited himself. It was not so much a mantra, but rather a collection of strange sounds. There were also various small movements such as knocking teeth, smacking tongue, moving throat, bulging abdomen, and deep sucking.
Only then did Hu Guiyang understand why He Sanjie asked him to only learn ten sentences at a time. According to He Wumai's approach, he could not even make a sentence, let alone recite strange sounds, and cooperate with those strange actions.
When Hu Guiyang followed his adoptive father to capture the demon thief, he had seen many so-called practice methods and had a little understanding of teeth knocking. Otherwise, he would have no way to learn it.
The Fire God Art is very similar to those methods, but it is more complex and obscure. The usual method is to recite a passage of scripture, which can be fully understood, and then knock on your teeth and smack your tongue. It is not like the Fire God Art, which has strange words and has no meaning.
He Sanjie said it easily, but in fact he had assigned an extremely difficult task.
If Hu Guiyang had never suffered such suffering in the past, he would rather sleep. But he had just promised not to be lazy, and he really had no reason to be lazy. The enemy's masters were like clouds and he would send someone to him, but he was no match for him. He could not escape by accident every time.
The recitation of He Wu's madman became weaker.
"The power of the Emperor's Fire, the sorrow of heaven and earth." Hu Guiyang recited it again.
He Wu started over, Hu Guiyang focused and only learned the pronunciation at the beginning of two or three times, thinking that everything was difficult at the beginning. Since He Sanjie could learn it in this way, she could do it herself.
"The power of the Emperor's Fire, the sorrow of heaven and earth."
Whenever the voice weakens, Hu Guiyang will redirect him. He Wu is not tired and recites casually, and he doesn't wake up. He looks more at ease.
Time flies, Hu Guiyang has not yet understood the trick. The sky outside is about to dawn, and the dawn shines through the doors and windows. He Wu stretches his waist, as if he is about to wake up.
Hu Guiyang hurried back to his bed, feeling dry mouth, numb cheeks, and drowsy in his mind. He sighed secretly that there was no magical skill that could be easily practiced, and it was so difficult.
"I hope the He brothers didn't lie to me." Hu Guiyang thought, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
He dreamed of the Sacrifice Peak again, but he didn't see the new content. It was still the same scenes, especially the fierce and evil face of King Wen Tian, getting bigger and closer, and finally even stuck out his tongue to lick it. Hu Guiyang couldn't hide it...
He woke up suddenly and found that there was indeed a tongue licking him. It was not the dead King Wen Tian, but the alive yellow dog cake.
The pancake is a wild dog. She slept outside last night. When someone came, she didn't yell. But during the day, she stumbled into the house and licked the owner's face.
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to get up, push the pancake away, and yawned. The sun was not rising too high outside, so he had only slept for about an hour, dizzy and stiff joints.
The pancake sticks out his tongue and turns around in front of him.
"Go, there is no food." Hu Guiyang stood up, there was no one in the room. He looked up and didn't know if He Sanjie was there.
Da Ping ran out and came back soon, holding a bone in his mouth and put it in front of Hu Guiyang.
"You weren't a monster, right? You can understand what I said." Hu Guiyang bent down and touched the dog's head twice, "Eat it yourself."
Dapian ran under the table with his bones in his mouth.
When he came outside the building, Hu Guiyang saw He Wu Crazy Man. He was practicing boxing on a small open space. Although his moves were not complicated, they were full of vigor.
"It's early." Hu Guiyang greeted.
Crazy He Wu stopped his power and was full of energy. "I thought I wouldn't sleep if I changed my place, but I didn't expect that I would have a little dry mouth until dawn. By the way, what should I eat for breakfast?"
“No one delivers breakfast?”
"No, Dabing got a few meat bones from somewhere."
Hu Guiyang went out of the garden and went to the front yard to find the madam, "Didn't you agree to serve three meals a day? Until now, I haven't even sent a basin of face washing water."
The madam greeted her with a smile, "Oh, why did Mr. Yang come in person? These dead girls are as lazy as greedy as they are, but they don't know how to do things. I will send someone to deliver water and food immediately."
The madam's promise was indeed effective. Not long after, the two maids brought clean water and food. As soon as they entered the building, they looked around and said, "Young Master Yang got up so early, why don't you let the servants serve you?"
"Those two bad servants, one is disobedient, the other is even more ridiculous. They must say there is a banshee here. They came to trick him into opening the door last night. Fortunately, he was not fooled. Are you laughing?"
The two maids laughed apologetically, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they said goodbye in a hurry.
Crazy He Wu received instructions and tried to hide when outsiders came. At this time, he asked from behind the stairs: "Is there really a banshee?"
"Don't worry, there is really a banshee, and it's not your fault."
"Then I'll be relieved." He Wu's crazy man didn't wash his face and went straight to the food.
"Give your sister one first, and there is water."
Crazy He Wu was very obedient. He held a bucket in one hand and a food plate in the other, nodding, "It's okay, I know that thinking about my sister, I have a better impression of you."
After Hu Guiyang finished washing up, he had a few bites of food and left, and came to the front yard to see the madam again.
The madam apologized in the passage, and Hu Guiyang expressed his concern, and then took out a ingot of silver and placed it on the table. It was twenty taels. The madam's eyes lit up and immediately reached out to hold it, then retracted it in her sleeve. The gecko did not swallow the mosquitoes so quickly.
"It turns out that he is the young master of a wealthy family. The adults don't remember the villain's fault and give so much reward."
"Do you know what I rented your house but didn't meet Ren Liu'er?"
"Young master escaped from home and didn't want to see anyone, I understand."
"It's not just that, in fact..." Hu Guiyang wanted to speak but stopped.
The madam took the money and wanted to flatter her. "Young master, but it's okay to say that. She is a cheerful person. She can do it and she can do it. If she can't do it, she will never pretend to take on things."
Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "With your words, I will tell the truth. I was forced to escape from my home because I offended my father, but my father and son are in love and want to go home again."
"That's certain."
"But my father is a very difficult person to talk to..."
"Oh, I understand. Ling Zun must be a romantic figure. The young master wants to offer Buddha with flowers and ask my daughter to plead for you."
"Bah, how can I do this kind of thing in this world for my son?"
The madam laughed, "It's not without... the young master continued."
"I have a cousin who is highly valued by my father. I asked him to plead with love. This cousin once mentioned Miss Liuer to me, saying that she had admired her for a long time, but she had never been able to meet her."
The madam suddenly realized, "Stop talking, I understand. Mr. Yang, go find a cousin. As long as you can invite him, there will be no man who my daughter will say he is dissatisfied."
Hu Guiyang clasped his fists and said with a smile: "You saved me, okay, I'll go and invite someone now."
The madam stood up and gave her to her, "However, the ugly words are ahead. The three hundred taels that Mr. Yang gave before was only one month's house payment."
Hu Guiyang took out another ingot of silver, "After the matter is completed, I will thank you very much."
The madam smiled happily and sent the guests away. She immediately went to find Ren Liuer to explain the whole story. The whole family felt at ease and no longer thought that the guests were too weird.
Hu Guiyang reassured the madam. He was indeed looking for a "coon". Wang Zhi was recruited back to the palace, and the old eunuch Yun Dan was not trusted. This road was temporarily blocked. Hu Guiyang could only seek support from Yuan Bin first. It was not feasible to go directly to the former Governor's Office or Yuan's Office. Therefore, he had to wait for people halfway.
It was almost noon, and there were few pedestrians in our alley, and the whole street seemed to be still in a deep sleep. Hu Guiyang suddenly understood why no one delivered breakfast, because the madam's family did not expect that a customer would get up so early.
Hu Guiyang first went to Shijia Hutong and took a look at his small home from a distance. Everything was normal. There were no officers and soldiers or strange people guarding him. He went to Guanyin Temple Hutong and stood further away, without seeing any abnormality.
His "escape" did not seem to cause any abnormal movement.
Hu Guiyang knew the location of Yuan Di, calculated the route from the former military governor's office to Yuan Di, and found a secluded teahouse along the way, sat by the window, asked for a pot of tea, and wait while drinking.
The weather was still cold, and the shopkeeper was unwilling to open the window, so Hu Guiyang asked for a few more snacks to exchange for a gap.
The money accumulated over the years was spent like flowing water, and Hu Guiyang felt heartbroken.
The capital city scattered yamen is relatively late, and it is often dark. Yuan Bin is high and is not bound to go home at any time. Therefore, Hu Guiyang must keep an eye on the street and be prepared. If he can't wait today and come back tomorrow, he just doesn't know if there is still a chance.
The fifth brother and others must be looking for his whereabouts, but they have not made any big fuss yet.
Hu Guiyang was very bored and silently recited several pronunciations he learned last night, but he was unable to make corresponding actions.
As dusk approached, Hu Guiyang saw the oncoming team.
Yuan Bin was old and an old minister of the previous dynasty. Although he was a military officer, he was allowed to ride a sedan chair and walked slowly. There were more than a dozen entourages in front and behind, with signs and sticks in front, and pedestrians gave way.
Hu Guiyang had already paid the money and got up and left, and the shopkeeper did not stop him.
After following the team for a while, no one followed him. Hu Guiyang accelerated his pace and walked along the street, gradually leveling with the sedan chair.
The person who was following the sedan chair was Yuan Mao.
Just walking not far away, Yuan Mao turned his head and finally saw Hu Guiyang. His face showed a look of surprise. He immediately restrained himself and said nothing.
Hu Guiyang slowed down.
Yuan Mao whispered a few words to the sedan chair, nodded repeatedly, attracted another follower to support the sedan chair, retreated to the side, and watched the team go away, then turned around and looked at Hu Guiyang with a look of guard.
"Let's go, I'll invite you to drink and introduce another beauty to you." Hu Guiyang smiled.
Yuan Mao still had a cold face, "Stop coming, let's talk about what's going on first. Everyone says you have escaped from the capital."
"Didn't say why?"
"There are many rumors, but it's the same as the demon fox."
"But you should believe that I didn't frame Lord Yuan, right?"
Yuan Mao was silent for a moment, "Let me tell me first why you came to me."
"For the truth." Hu Guiyang put away his smile, "This is not a place to talk. Let's go to a hidden place. By the way, please be my 'cousin' for a while."
Yuan Mao agreed reluctantly, always feeling that seeing Hu Guiyang again was an ominous sign.
