Chapter 87 Appointment(1/2)

Hu Guiyang was lying on the ground and slept soundly. Even if the sky fell, he probably wouldn't wake up.
The other three couldn't sleep and sat side by side against the wall, waiting for news from the palace as anxiously as if they were burning.
Fan Dajian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, still in a real-life style. He suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "Let's just strangle him to death. Maybe he will be forgiven by the eunuch Liang Fang, the sect."
Lai Wangxi was so scared that his voice trembled, "This, isn't this possible? Mr. Hu is the Jinyi Captain promoted by Governor Wang, and he is also a good person."
Fan Dajian sneered and expressed disagreement with the judgment that "people are not bad."
Yuan Mao was indifferent and said coldly: "Okay, let's do it in real life, let's give you a wind."
Fan Dajian sneered again, "We are too brave and are taken by Hu Guiyang."
Lai Wangxi admitted that he was timid, "Yes, yes, we are timid and cannot do big things. If we follow Mr. Hu, he is brave and has many ideas."
Fan Dajian closed his eyes again, "If you are deeply trapped in the quagmire in the future, you must remember that there was such an idea on this night, but you did not agree."
"I can't do such a thing." Lai Wangxi shook her head constantly.
Yuan Mao suddenly stood up, held the ground with both hands, and quietly crawled towards Hu Guiyang sleeping opposite him.
Lai Wangxi was shocked, but he didn't say anything to stop him. Fan Dajian opened one of his eyes, looked at the figure in the dark, and whispered: "If you dare to do it, we will listen to you in the future."
Lai Wangxi made a series of strange sounds, unable to tell whether he agreed or wanted to wake up Mr. Hu.
"Don't make trouble." Fan Dajian whispered.
Yuan Mao climbed to Hu Guiyang, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and walked back to his original place to sit down.
Lai Wangxi was so scared that she was so weak that she couldn't speak.
Fan Dajian asked in confusion: "What's wrong? I don't have the courage?"
"I just went over and saw if he was really asleep."
"ah?"
"I fell asleep, and it seemed that I was still talking in my sleep. Guli was strange and I couldn't understand."
Fan Dajian snorted coldly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
After a while, Lai Wangxi finally recovered and whispered: "Young Master Yuan, you, you have learned bad things from Mr. Hu."
Lai Wangxi was very polite to everyone, so he called Yuan Mao the son.
Yuan Mao laughed, not seeming to think this is a belittlement, "Only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things."
"It may also die very quickly." Lai Wangxi continued, sighed, fell to the ground, and wanted to try to sleep for a while, but he was full of worries and rushed out to interfere. It was difficult to close his eyes, so he had to sit up again, "What do you think Mr. Hu is doing this for?"
"To survive." Yuan Mao did not appreciate Hu Guiyang, but he knew more about him than others. "He offended too many people, both inside and outside the palace. At this moment, I don't know how many people want his life."
Lai Wangxi glanced at Fan Dajian beside him, "There is one here."
"If Hu Guiyang wants to save his life, he must make himself valuable and of great value, but in this way, he can only continue to offend more people."
"It's not easy for Mr. Hu," Lai Wangxi sighed, and couldn't help but feel sympathy.
"The three of us are unlucky and are involved in a conspiracy. We can't survive. If we want to climb out of this deep pit, we can only follow Hu Guiyang. When he goes out, we will go out too. If he falls, we will definitely be affected."
Lai Wangxi was speechless for a long time.
Fan Dajian didn't open his eyes and said, "You are really a natural loyal servant, and you always think about your master."
Yuan Mao ignored him, Lai Wangxi defended him: "Old Taoist, a person like you has no courage or strategy. He has no other ability except pretending to be a god or a ghost. At least he must have a loyalty. Otherwise, who would take you out of the pit?"
"My ability is not just pretending to be a ghost..."
Hu Guiyang suddenly turned around and shouted twice for no reason. Fan Dajian immediately shut up and dared not say another word.
Lai Wangxi was even more disdainful of the old Taoist.
Hu Guiyang suddenly spoke a few words at a very fast speed, then snoring sounded and he slept very sweetly.
In the dark night, he was locked in the narrow "cell" of Nansi, Jinyiwei. The person who was leading the nonsense made strange noises, and the other three were somewhat scared.
After a while, Lai Wangxi whispered: "Mr. Hu... what are you talking about?"
"This is what I just heard, I didn't understand." Yuan Mao heard only whispers before, but he shouted clearly, and he felt a little creepy.
"This is a spell." Fan Dajian said affirmatively.
"Can you understand?" Lai Wangxi asked.
"I don't understand, but I have practiced for many years and can hear that this is the so-called mantra, and it has the characteristics of both Buddhism and Taoism..."
"Can you hear this?" Lai Wangxi's trust in the old Taoist has been declining, and there is not much left now.
"His strange pronunciation is obviously an ancient Buddhist saying, probably from India, but he also has the movement of knocking teeth and stirring his tongue. This is the Taoist kung fu, and I know it too well. But Hu Guiyang practiced it wrong, too frequently, I am afraid that it was the evil martial arts he learned from where he learned it. If this continues, it will be very easy to get possessed. When he wakes up, I have to give some advice."
Yuan Mao didn't understand these things and didn't speak.
After quieting for a while, Lai Wang said happily: "I think it's better to keep this matter confidential."
"Why? Do you think I'm not worthy?" Fan Dajian was a little angry.
"No, I mean..." Lai Wangxi stopped talking.
Yuan Mao said on the side: "Hu Guiyang finally got rid of the suspicion of the demon fox, so let's not cause trouble."
"I only said to Hu Guiyang, I won't tell... Oh, I understand, okay, everyone keeps it secret, no one can say it."
Fan Dajian is not stupid. Once he was given a tip, he understood that Hu Guiyang, who did not believe in ghosts and gods, would actually recite strange spells. He didn't know what secret was hidden behind him. It would be better not to expose it before climbing out of the deep pit together.
Accompanied by Hu Guiyang's snoring, the three of them had their own thoughts and did not fall asleep one after another until the second half of the night.
As soon as the lock-opening sounded outside, three people woke up almost at the same time, and were all frightened, afraid that the person who came would directly declare the charge.
Hu Guiyang was already awake and was looking at them with a smile: "Are you sleeping well? Nansi's floor is actually more comfortable than my bed."
The door opened, and the one who came in was the fury Liang Xiu.
The three of them felt cold and sat there blankly without getting up.
"College Hu Guiyang, I have met the Lord of War." Hu Guiyang clasped his fists and said without any fear.
Liang Xiu looked at his captain coldly, his body straighter than ever, "It has nothing to do with waiting for you."
Only Yuan Mao stood up, Fan Dajian and Lai Wangxi rolled and crawled out from behind Liang Xiu. When they arrived outside the Geng Room, they saw the yard full of Jinyiwei with knives. The three of them were so scared that they dared not move. They stood obediently at the door, and Fan Dajian gently closed the door.
In the compartment, Liang Xiu was still looking at the disobedient captain. Hu Guiyang accepted calmly, with a seemingly nonsense smile on his face.
"We are not enemies." Liang Xiu finally spoke.
"Of course, the adult is the boss, and I am the subordinate."
"Nansi is a small yamen, with few people in total. They all serve the emperor, so there is no need to divide the whole family in private."
"That is the adults and the wise and the nobles."
Liang Xiu forced a smile, "I have just arrived in Nansi and is just the time when I am employed. I have a little impatient temper. I hope you won't care."
"I'm not concerned. I just said that Nansi's floor is more comfortable than my bed."
"I know that you are a free and easy person. Well, Guifang is still under your control, but there is no need to sweep the floor anymore."
"I like to sweep the floor very much. Seeing the floor is clean, I feel that my whole body is much cleaner from the inside out."
"No, sweeping the floor is really useless. I have other uses for you."
"Assigned by the adults."
Liang Xiu was silent, as if he was thinking carefully, and after a while, he said, "There is a demon thief named He Baiwan who is extremely guilty. It is said that you know this person more well."
"This person was originally named Liang Tiegong, and he had the same surname as the adult. He was my adopted father's enemy. Later, he changed his name to He Baiwan. I had a few encounters with him, so I know him."
Liang Xiu ignored the saying of "the same surname" and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Guifang will be responsible for pursuing this thief."
"I have no choice."
"But there must be a time limit."
"Please give me ten years. Within ten years, I will capture this thief."
Liang Xiu almost had an attack again, so he forced himself to hold it back, "Ten years are too long, I can only..."
"Then it will be five years." Hu Guiyang took the lead.
“Too long.”
"Three years."
"too……"
"Two years, at least two years. Sir, He Baiwan is an old man. If he is still in the capital, he has been arrested now and has nowhere to go. He must have escaped into the wilderness and defected to the king of the mountain. It will take a lot of time to find someone. If he finds it, he may not be able to catch it immediately."
Liang Xiu originally wanted to give him only one month, but Hu Guiyang robbed him, but it was difficult to say it. He frowned and said, "In a year, not only can He Baiwan be arrested, but he also has to find out the truth about Tianji Technology."
"Okay, sir, really put a burden on me." Hu Guiyang responded reluctantly, feeling very satisfied. "I am the only one in Guifang at the moment, and I am weak. Please allow me to replenish my staff."
"The Nansi Captain will be called by you."
"No need, I have three helpers, please transfer them to the Jinyiwei."
