Hu Shouxin's expression was complicated. He glanced at Qin Hui, who had a miserable expression and was anxiously waiting for him to seek justice for him.
Brother, you might have encountered a fake monster … "
He never showed himself.
His strength was astonishing.
Like a cat playing with a mouse.
Shouting words that no one could understand.
Cowardly.
He thought of Qin Hui's mission and the current situation.
Obviously, there was no one else who could do such a crazy thing, other than a certain bastard who always said, "For the sake of the country's life and death, why should I avoid it for the sake of fortune and misfortune?", but even in his dreams, he wanted to raise the flag of rebellion and seize the position of the Emperor.
This guy … he did something like this behind my back again!
Hu Shouxin felt his head swell. The evil fire in his heart burned. Although I knew this guy was not easy to get along with, I never thought he would do such a thing!
Old Hu glanced at Qin Hui. Although the suspect had been locked in, this person's identity could not be known by Brother Qin.
He remembered the gaze Sun Lang had given him that day when he had warned him and his heart chilled slightly. He had known Sun Lang for a long time and knew whether or not Sun Lang was joking.
If Brother Qin knew that Sun Lang was alive, then Sun Lang would indeed kill him … no one could persuade him otherwise.
Thinking of this, Old Hu's head hurt even more.
Sun Lang had beaten up the imperial envoy and the entire imperial envoy guard. This was actually not a big deal. In any case, this guy was very astute and cleverly disguised himself as a monster, putting the blame on the yao race. Even if the imperial court was furious afterward, they could only direct their anger at the group of monsters … in any case, those monsters had always been outwardly united with the empire and had recently been very restless. If they were dealt with, then they were dealt with. In any case, they were not human.
But the key problem was that based on Old Hu's understanding of Sun Lang, this guy would not stop here … destroying the imperial envoy's carriage, beating up the imperial envoy guard, and chasing the imperial envoy around for an entire night could only be considered an appetizer. This imperial envoy had entered Mingzhou and could be considered to have walked into the tiger's mouth.
This bastard had been crazy outside for two years. Who knew how many evil plans and tricks he had come up with, but he was too embarrassed to use them on the people he was familiar with. Coincidentally, an imperial envoy he had always disliked fell from the sky. It was like a young chick who had just come out to receive a guest and met a ruffian who had just returned from the army after more than a decade …
Thus, Hu Shouxin looked at Qin Hui and a kind of humanistic concern suddenly rose in his heart. No, I can't watch brother Qin fall into the devil's claws like this. I have to protect him …
Old Hu made up his mind and immediately stood up. Facing Qin Hui, he said solemnly, "Brother, I already know the situation. There's no time to lose. I'll go out and patrol. While the monster hasn't gone too far, I'll see if I can find any clues. As for you, brother, you've been running around all night and should rest first. As for the imperial envoy business, there's no need to worry. You and I are brothers, so I'll do my best to help you with the Mingzhou matter … the two of you should go take a bath, change your clothes, eat some food, and rest for a while …"
He glanced at Wan Yuanzhong and clasped his hands. "That's right, I still haven't asked for this brother's name."
Wan Yuanzhong hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Wan Yuanzhong, following beside brother Qin and temporarily serving as the imperial envoy's flag bearer. Greetings, General Hu!"
Hu Shouxin nodded. "So it's brother Wan … please rest for a while, I'll go."
Qin Hui suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Brother, please wait. I still have a few things to ask of you.
First, my companions and attendants were separated last night. I told them to run away separately and gather at the Ranger Guild in Mingzhou City. I sincerely ask you to send a Ranger to take care of them. Second, I'll write a letter and ask you to send it to the Provincial Governor and the Chief of Armed Forces of Wuxing Mansion on my behalf to reassure them. Third, the Emperor's order is important and I dare not delay it. I want to discuss the regulations with you … "
Hu Shouxin just nodded. "It's fine, it's fine. I'll ask my subordinates to do it … That monster is the real threat. I'll go and take a look first."
"The monster is the real threat?"
Wan Yuanzhong frowned inwardly. "Ming Province is an important town in the north, where there are many experts. You, General Hu, are also a fierce general of Heaven's Origin, a fierce man who has fought against the Extraterrestrial Demons. With you here, those demons are nothing.
In comparison, His Majesty's order is much more important. Why can't you distinguish between the priorities and go and catch some monster? "
Wan Yuanzhong couldn't help but want to say something. Qin Hui secretly pulled him away and shook her head slightly with a strange light in her eyes.
Hu Shouxin knew nothing about this. He was leading the two to the guest room on the second floor and then ordered a capable subordinate to listen to Qin Hui's orders. After bidding farewell to the two, he left Zhongyi Tower.
The Ranger said politely, "The Guild Leader has ordered you to take a bath, rest, and eat. If you need anything, just ask. I'll be waiting outside."
Qin Hui thought for a while and smiled. "My brother left in a hurry. There are some things he wants to ask you, sir. I wonder …"
After hearing this, the Ranger smiled. "I'm just a lackey of the Guild Leader. I'm a vulgar man who knows nothing. I only know how to follow orders. What can I know?
The Guild Leader will be back later. If you have any questions, you can ask him yourself. If you ask me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed … I won't disturb you. "
Qin Hui was slightly startled, but still smiled politely. "I'm sorry for being rash."
"You're too kind."
The imperial envoy and the Ranger smiled hypocritically and then closed the door. The closed door covered the cold light that flashed through his eyes.
As soon as Hu Shouxin stepped out of the door, his face darkened. He strode toward the Immortal Fishing House aggressively, as if he was going to denounce them for their crimes.
As he walked, he thought, angry and amused, in a moment, this bastard will definitely deny it. I wonder what kind of ridiculous expression he will put on to pretend to be pitiful. Hmph, pretend my ass. In this big country, other than you, who else would do such a thing?
Especially that word, I knew it was you as soon as I heard it …
However, reality proved that even though they were close comrades who had fought side by side for many years, Old Hu couldn't guess Sun Lang's tricks.
When Hu Shouxin arrived at the Immortal Fishing Tower, he found that the door was closed and locked. He called out a few times, but no one answered. The people inside had all run away.
If that was the case, it would be fine. Looking at Hu Huishou's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, he knew that things were not so simple.
There was a large sign hanging on the door. On it, there was a line of words.
There is no film here for three hundred seconds.
This was the so-called confession without being pressed.
Hu Shouxin was so angry that he laughed. He cursed loudly toward the inside. As expected, no one responded. Listening carefully, there were no whispers. He found a neighbor and asked. Only then did he find out that the pretty boy of this house had been taken away with great fanfare by a wealthy family. He asked which wealthy family it was, but he didn't know.
It didn't matter if he didn't know. Hu Shouxin sneered — even if it was Zhang Yinluo's father who met that bastard, he would most likely be angered to death in just half a day. Who else but Miss Zhao Feihuang from Marquis Jingan fu would have the guts to bring that kind of pretty boy into their household?
Old Hu immediately changed directions and ran toward the Marquis of Jingan fu.
The gatekeeper of the Marquis fu had sharp eyes and recognized that this was a fierce person of Tianyuan Empire who was in charge of Ming Zhou. How could he dare to slight him?
He hurriedly went in to report and led Hu Shouxin to the reception pavilion to sit. Not long after, Miss Zhao Feihuang personally led the stewards of the fu over.
Miss Zhao was dressed in formal attire. When she saw Hu Shouxin, she directly bowed and gently said: "Greetings to Uncle."
The corner of Hu Shouxin's eyes twitched. This Miss Zhao really didn't treat herself as an outsider. She directly considered herself to be that bastard's wife … …
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling person. Moreover, even though Miss Zhao was a bit blinded by lard and took a fancy to that kind of bastard, to the extent that she directly considered herself to be his wife and called him Uncle, he couldn't directly shout and wrangle. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Miss Zhao … …"
Zhao Feihuang's white and slender hands personally poured tea for Hu Shouxin and offered it with both hands. She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't treat me as an outsider. Just call me sister-in-law."
… … The way this woman took advantage of him was quite compatible with Sun Lang.
Hu Shouxin choked on his words and hummed for a while. He wasn't that thick-skinned and felt that it was a bit strange to directly call her sister-in-law. Old Hu hesitated for a long time and finally came up with a clever idea: "I'd better call you Miss Zhao … … After all, you're not married yet … …"
Unexpectedly, Miss Zhao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She stepped forward and said in surprise: "Uncle, you're willing to be the matchmaker for me and Sun Lang!?"
… … How did you get this conclusion from my evasive words just now?!
Miss Zhao's strange imagination and enthusiastic attitude made Old Hu unable to resist. For a moment, Hu Shouxin was already in a dilemma. Although he felt that agreeing to be the matchmaker and tricking Sun Lang seemed to be a very satisfying thing, in the next moment, his rationality stopped him from seeking death.
— — Are you kidding me? If I do this, I'll be hung naked by that guy at the South City Gate tomorrow … …
So he hurriedly denied it. Zhao Feihuang was disappointed and continued to plead, making it harder for Hu Shouxin to resist. After two or three rounds, Old Hu had unknowingly fallen into Miss Zhao's trap. The aggressive momentum that he had when he came to find Sun Lang had unknowingly dissipated.
When Hu Shouxin reacted, his spirit had been severely dampened. He didn't even have the confidence to speak: "That, Miss Zhao, I'm here to find Sun Lang … …"
Zhao Feihuang showed a sad and melancholy expression. She shook her head and sighed: "In broad daylight, who knows where my husband is fooling around. Why would he stay at home obediently?
Uncle came to ask me, but I also want to ask Uncle … … "
The girl showed a sad expression and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Her words were full of sadness: "You said that this dead man has a beautiful wife and beautiful family at home, thousands of acres of fertile land, countless land deeds, and countless gold and silver treasures. If he likes good food, there are chefs in the mansion to cook for him. If he likes music, there are unparalleled musicians in the mansion to play the zither for him. If he likes beauty, there are beautiful concubines in the mansion for him to enjoy … … This little girl manages the family business and earns so much money, isn't it all for him to enjoy and squander as he pleases?
But he doesn't care about these things. He doesn't use his beautiful wife and concubines at home. Instead, he fooled around with women of unknown origin on the streets. Today, he brought back a cow spirit, and tomorrow, he brought back two little girls … … "
"… …" Hu Shouxin was speechless.
— — Motherf * cker, what should I say!
I'm also very desperate!
I don't know how to respond to this kind of words!
This Miss Zhao's shamelessness is almost as shameless as Sun Lang in the past!
On the other side, Miss Zhao had completely turned on her complaining wife mode. She talked endlessly about how Sun Lang didn't care about the family, how he fooled around outside all day, how he refused to live a stable life with her at home, how he refused to be a good husband who spent all day indulging in sensual pleasures, eating, drinking, gambling, and spending money like water. As a result, not only did he leave her alone in the boudoir, but he also made her hard work of managing the family business and accumulating wealth completely meaningless. Anyone who heard it would be sad, and anyone who saw it would cry … …
— — As if!
Hu Shouxin listened to it and felt that his desire to complain was rising rapidly. He looked up at the several stewards in the Flower Hall. Everyone's heads were lowered, and he didn't know if it was because of shame or because they were choking. Finally, Old Hu was still thinking about the business. When Miss Zhao stopped talking, he carefully interrupted, "Well, Miss Zhao, you don't know where Sun Lang went?"
Zhao Feihuang smiled and said, "My husband goes out all day to fool around. Now he's probably fooling around in some brothel."
… … Brothel?
Fooling around?
Bah, fooling around in a brothel?
That's murder!
Hu Shouxin rolled his eyes and asked patiently, "Was he at home last night?"
Miss Zhao nodded and said, "Of course he was at home. If he didn't go home at night, where else could he go?"
Old Hu still didn't give up and asked, "What was he doing at home last night?"
Miss Zhao's face turned red, and she glared at Hu Shouxin coquettishly, "Uncle, you're so rude!
What else could he be doing? "
"… …" F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, f * ck!
He couldn't ask this question!
He couldn't ask!
Hu Shouxin suddenly stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Since Sun Lang isn't here, I'll take my leave. Miss Zhao, sorry to disturb you."
"Uncle, don't be in a hurry to leave. It's rare for you to come here. If you leave now, my husband will definitely blame me for being rude when he comes back."
Miss Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, why don't you sit for a while? I'll send someone to look for my husband. When he comes back at noon, I'll personally cook a few dishes, and you two brothers can have a few drinks …"
Dammit, if I stay here and chat with you until noon, I'm afraid I'll lose ten years of my life …
Hu Shouxin insisted on leaving, but Zhao Feihuang tried to persuade him to stay. The two of them were in a deadlock. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Hu Shouxin's mind, and his expression changed abruptly.
The sizzling sound of electricity rang out from Old Hu's body, and the light of thunder flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, the stewards all took a step forward, but Hu Shouxin didn't even look at them. He looked deeply at Miss Zhao and said in a cold voice, "Miss Zhao, the matter of the imperial envoy … you take care of yourself."
Zhao Feihuang's expression changed slightly, but she met Hu Shouxin's gaze without fear. She swept away her previous weak posture and gracefully bowed, "Since uncle has already seen through, then I won't keep you … I'll remember uncle's teachings in my heart. With Sun Lang here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Hu Shouxin huffed coldly. His body was like lightning. With the roar of thunder, he rushed out of the Flower Hall and headed in the direction of Zhong Yi Tower.
Dammit, luring the tiger away from the mountain …
