"Should I call you Huo Xiu or Shangguan Mu?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
When he heard the words Shangguan Mu, Huo Xiu's expression was very calm and his expression was completely different from the behavior of Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe.
"Huo Xiu and Shangguan Mu are the same person. If you think of me as Huo Xiu, I am Huo Xiu. If you think of me as Shangguan Mu, I am Shangguan Mu."
When Huo Xiu was talking, he kept staring intently at the broken tin pot on the red clay stove, as if the temperature of the wine in the broken tin pot was far more worthy of his concern than the three masters who had seen through his true colors.
Su Yang said: "Huo Xiu is Lu Xiaofeng's friend. When he goes to his friend's place, he will be warmly entertained; and Shangguan Mu is a traitor to the Jinpeng Dynasty. Your attitude towards us depends entirely on our attitude towards you."
"Not bad." Huo Xiu raised his head and looked at Su Yang, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "You are very talented in doing business. If you think I am Huo Xiu, you can come and do business with me."
When these four words "do business" come out of Huo Xiu's mouth, their value is definitely not worth a thousand dollars.
Doing business with Huo Xiu is not much different from being an official with the emperor.
Su Yang shook his head and said, "No, I'm too smart. People who are too smart are often not suitable for business, because smart people are lazy."
Huo Xiu thought for a while and said, "Yes, you are indeed very smart. Very few people can find this place smoothly. When they see the word "Push" on the door, at least nine out of ten people will not push the door. They will not push the door.
You can't get in at all. If you don't turn when you see the word "Zhuan", no one can get out of my maze of nine twists. If you don't stop when you see the word "stop", even if you don't get shot into a hedgehog by random arrows, you will still fall into the frying pan.
Peeling skin. If I didn’t drink that wine, I would have been fascinated by it long ago. It’s a pity that such smart young men have to be in trouble with an old man like me.”
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, we never promised who King Jinpeng was going to kill. We just wanted to find out what happened. And Yan Tieshan died, Dugu Yihe died, and Huo Tianqing also died. It seems that
There is a hand pushing their death, I just hope you are not the one behind all this."
"How much do you know about what happened back then?" Huo Xiu asked unhurriedly.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You, Yan Tieshan, Dugu Yihe, and Shangguan Jin were all important ministers of the Jinpeng Dynasty. When the Jinpeng Dynasty fell, the three of you were ordered to bring the jewelry wealth in the inner treasury. Shangguan Jin came here with the little prince Jinpeng.
Middle-earth. But then you never found Shangguan Jin and the little prince, so you swallowed up this wealth..."
Huo Xiu had been listening quietly, but suddenly interrupted him and said, "You are wrong."
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Wrong?"
Huo Xiu said: "We did not swallow the wealth, but accepted it."
"accept?"
"Yes, although we didn't find him, he left us a letter, a letter that can only be written by direct descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty. The main message is that he will never meet us again, and the wealth will be given to us.
Give it to us as a reward for our many years of service to the Jinpeng Dynasty."
"Is he sick?" Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Huo Xiu's eyes suddenly showed a look of helpless sadness, and he said slowly: "Our little prince has been known as the 'Three Masters of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting' since he was a child. Such a person is naturally indifferent by nature.
He didn't care about the gain or loss of the throne. He just wanted to live a peaceful life with poetry and wine. What's more, the wealth that Shangguan Mu brought out was enough for him to live a happy life. But if he could bear this
If we have a small amount of wealth, we have to find a way to use this wealth to restore the country, endure a lot of hardships, and our lives may be in danger at any time."
"But over the years, he has spent money more and more lavishly. He has almost spent all his money, so he comes to you to ask for it?" Su Yang asked.
"Yes, if anyone can only spend money but not make money, no matter how much money he has, it will be spent one day. Sometimes a half-hour gambling game can make you bankrupt." Huo Xiu nodded.
"No matter what, the money originally belonged to him. How he spends it is his business. There is no reason for you not to repay the money." Su Yang said: "Then there must be a reason for you not to repay the money?"
Huo Xiu said coldly: "Yes, it's not like no one has come to see us before. You must have seen the four old men outside just now."
Su Yang said: "Presumably they are all pretending to be King Jinpeng to try to seize this wealth?"
Huo Xiu nodded and said calmly: "If they want to get rich, I will let them face those gold and jewelry all day long. If they want to pretend to be emperors, I will let them wear dragon robes and sit on the throne all day long. Although they want to
They cheated money, but I didn’t treat them badly.”
No one can say that what Huo Xiu did was wrong, and it couldn't be more appropriate to use this method to deal with that kind of person.
"After decades of not seeing each other, the person's appearance and voice have changed greatly. You must have some way to identify the real King Jinpeng?"
Huo Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, the real King Jinpeng, every generation of emperors in the Jinpeng Dynasty are people with strange visions. They all have six toes on both feet. And this time the King Jinpeng.
....”
He looked up at Lu Xiaofeng and said with a wry smile: "There are already several masters in Prince Jinpeng's palace, and Zhu Ding is there. I sent people there several times, but I didn't see his toes."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "So now as long as we can try to take off the boots of the Great Golden Roc King, and look at a few toes on his feet, we can tell whether he is real or fake."
"You have also seen the weapons and wealth outside. Over the years, I have been preparing for the restoration of the country all the time."
Huo Xiu nodded and said: "If the Great Golden Roc King is really the little prince back then, I can take off this burden from my shoulders, otherwise..."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Otherwise we will invite him here to keep company with the four emperors outside."
.........
After leaving the small building and walking in the morning mist, Huamanlou suddenly shook his head.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "What's wrong? Let's take off King Jinpeng's boots and see if we can find out. Taking off men's boots is at least easier than taking off women's pants."
"What he said may be true, but he did not tell the truth." Su Yang said: "At least he did not explain why he secretly arranged for Dugu Yihe to kill us several times, and how Huo Tianqing died."
"He can't explain these things clearly at all." Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Besides, no one knows whether there are really people with six toes on both feet in this world? What if there is no such thing in the world?
Man, even if what Huo Xiu said is not true, it has become true."
"Of the four heirs to the Jinpeng Dynasty's wealth, there are only two left now, so in the end when only one is left, everything will be revealed." Su Yang said: "Believe it or not, King Jinpeng must have a solution now.
So that we can't see his feet."
