When I saw my mother's face was red, her hands on her hips, her eyes were filled with tears of excitement. Hu Xiuwu knew that his mother had misunderstood.
She wasn't angry, but worried. This was what she looked like when the news came back that her eldest brother had been selected to join the special forces and was about to go on a mission.
He has never told Hu's mother about the stranger. She is afraid that she may misunderstand that he is working as a spy or an undercover agent, which requires confidentiality and is highly dangerous, so she is worried about Hu Xiuwu's safety.
She didn't want Hu Bayi to go to the front line, and she didn't want Hu Xiuwu to participate in dangerous things.
Hu Xiuwu smiled and said: "A loving mother like you will definitely be protected by all gods and be protected from evil spirits."
"Don't change the subject for me. You're talking about nothing." Hu's mother nodded Hu Xiuwu's head angrily: "I think you have been in Maoshan for a long time, and you don't even know how to flatter him."
Hu Xiuwu missed this feeling of being cared for very much. He came to his mother, and relying on his height, which was already a head taller than his mother, he put his arm around his mother's shoulders and brushed off the dust from her collar, hoping to sweep away her worries. :
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. I'm not a big-headed soldier like my elder brother. I have many people under my command."
"Otherwise, dad won't make room for me. The most dangerous time has passed."
Hu's mother really misunderstood. She didn't ask any more questions. She just slapped Hu Xiuwu's hand away in disgust and muttered: "You are confusing me, an old woman."
Hu Xiuwu happily watched Hu’s mother nagging at the side.
I'll leave the more detailed explanation to my father. If I say anything, my mother will be angry with me again.
Dad has experience. He is not afraid of his mother being angry with him. He just has to eat takeout for a few days. Anyway, the old man is used to it.
Besides, I have other things to be busy with here.
Ding dong,
The electronic doorbell at the entrance of Hu's small courtyard suddenly rang.
"Did the old man forget his key again?"
Mother Hu wiped her hands on her gardening apron out of habit and prepared to open the door.
No, this is not my dad. If Xiao Hutian was locked out, he would have opened the door by himself by pressing the password.
Their small courtyard maintains the ancient style on the outside, but it has been modernized on the inside, making it smart and comfortable. Even the courtyard door is smart and can be opened not only with a key, but also with a password. Electronic peepholes are also connected to mobile phones.
So the door hadn't opened yet, but through the program on his phone, Hu Xiuwu had already seen who was coming.
······
"Zhao Fangxu."
Zhao Fangxu, who was always approachable and affable, took out his business card and handed it to Mother Hu who was leaning at the door of the courtyard with a wary look in her eyes, her smile unchanged:
"This is my business card. I'm also an employee of everywhere."
Mother Hu took the business card and said enthusiastically: "Oh, are you my boss's colleague? Are you here to see my boss? He hasn't gotten off work yet."
Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses and said warmly: "No, no, I'm not here to see Bayi, I'm here to see Hu Xiuwu."
Mother Hu became suspicious: "Xiu Wu? What are you doing with him?"
"Isn't this Director Zhao? What kind of wind did you bring?"
Before Zhao Fangxu could explain, Hu Xiuwu came over to help him out, gently pushed Hu's mother, and said jokingly:
"Mom, this is the chairman of my brother's company. He is my brother's immediate boss. Why don't you invite someone in quickly? Be careful that Director Zhao puts on my brother's shoes."
"Oh, it's Mr. Zhao, please come in quickly, please come in."
Seeing that Hu Xiuwu had confirmed Zhao Fangxu's identity, Hu's mother opened the courtyard door and hurriedly welcomed Zhao Fangxu home.
Zhao Fangxu smiled as he walked: "Hu Bayi has made a lot of achievements in Tongtong over the years. He is brave enough to work hard. With the relationship between our families, how can I give him small shoes?"
Mother Hu said: "What does it matter? The old man has retreated a long time ago. Just look at him normally. This child in Bayi has a straight temper and is prone to getting into trouble. You still deserve to be punished and beaten."
"Xiuwu, please take Director Zhao to your room, and I'll make you a cup of tea."
As soon as Hu's mother left, Hu Xiuwu stopped pretending to smile and said in a neutral tone:
"Please, Director Zhao."
After speaking, he turned his head and put his hands behind his back, like an inspection leader, leading the way.
For such a rude move, Zhao Fangxu just smiled bitterly and followed Hu Xiuwu honestly.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, Hu Xiuwu is no longer the little Taoist boy who just came down the mountain who needs to be careful to deal with Zhao Fangxu's temptations and is easily threatened by him.
When Hu's mother asked Zhao Fangxu to go to Hu Xiuwu's room, she didn't mean to go to his bedroom, but to the wing where Hu Xiuwu lived. When Hu Xiuwu grew up, he did not live in the same room as his parents, but had a private room to himself.
The wing room covers an area of 70 to 80 square meters, which is more than enough for one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom.
A pot of fragrant tea, two people sitting opposite each other.
"His Majesty came back and didn't even say a word to us."
After Mrs. Hu brought the tea and went out, Zhao Fangxu took the lead in speaking, putting his position very low in his words.
Hu Xiuwu said: "If I don't tell you, I don't know if I have access to everything. I just came back yesterday, and today Director Zhao is sitting across from me."
Zhao Fangxu was shocked and speechless for a moment.
He didn't refute my title!
Hu Xiuwu was sitting in front of him.
He is really the new Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu! The Yin Lord of the Underworld who is in charge of reincarnation!
Hundreds of thousands of bull-headed and horse-faced men were hunting around the world to capture the souls of the dead. How could Tongtong not find even a single trace of such a huge battle?
Not only was it accessible everywhere, but all alien management organizations around the world were shocked.
The posthumous messenger in the story suddenly became a reality, so it was natural to investigate clearly.
Those who can arrest souls can kill people. There are traces of Yinsha in every corner of the world. In other words, this unknown underworld has the power to turn a prosperous city into a ghost overnight. Who can not be afraid?
During this time, the legends of several countries in the Pan-Asian cultural circle were read over by all the alien organizations in the world.
After all, it is not difficult to trace the origin of such a distinctive feature as an ox head and horse face.
Nadu Tong has been busy searching for the origin of the underworld these days.
When exploring ghosts and gods, one cannot avoid Taoism and Buddhism. After this investigation, it was found that Shangqing had proposed to change the name of the emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, so naturally he could not hide it.
It turned out that the people in the Taoist Association just thought that Shangqing wanted to improve their own magic of inviting gods. With the endorsement of the Celestial Master, when Zhang Chulan noticed the eyes of all the strangers at the Luotian Dajiao, the modification was successful.
The great emperor of Fengdu in Beiyin was Hu Xiuwu.
Everyone was deceived, and Zhao Fangxu was no exception.
The secret of the Jiashen Rebellion covered up all the abnormalities in Hu Xiuwu before.
Under the Fish Bone Temple in Longling, the tomb of Li Chunfeng disappeared after Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi left; the time travel of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo in Kunlun in the Western Regions;
All Hu Xiuwu's unexplainable actions can be attributed to the secret of Jiashen and the snake god, so that no one will think much about it.
However, before Zhao Fangxu came, everything was just speculation.
After all, it is too hard for people to believe that a boy in his twenties is the ruler of the underworld.
The Shangqing had been planning for thousands of years, but the final operator was actually a young boy who was still immature.
It is obvious that Yang Ming, the leader of Shangqing, or Tianshi would be more suitable.
At this time, on Hu Xiuwu's left side, a gap opened like a door. On the other side of the door was the flaming Luofeng Hell. Zhang Qiling led a group of bull-headed and horse-faced people, walked through the door, knelt on one knee in front of Hu Xiuwu, and handed over a Zhezi.
Hu Xiuwu took it, glanced at it, and said calmly: "I understand, let's go down."
The gap closed, and Zhang Qiling and the hell map disappeared together.
Zhao Fangxu knew clearly in his heart that this was Hu Xiuwu's implicit proof of his identity. He stooped slightly and said, "I would also like to thank His Highness for your consideration for Tong Tong, who has fallen out with Tong Tong everywhere."
After Hu Xiuwu revealed his identity, Zhao Fangxu immediately figured out why Hu Xiuwu suddenly rebelled against Quan Xing.
If you have a good relationship with the underworld, it is not a good thing.
What would happen if there was someone who couldn't refuse and asked for help anywhere? I hope Director Zhao and Hu Xiuwu would beg for mercy and live a little longer.
Hu Xiuwu would not agree to these things. He would only get a lot of resentment from anywhere, and it would be difficult for Zhao Fangxu to do things.
