Chapter 389 The customer is Huo Xiangu
389 Chapter 389 The customer is Huo Xiangu

Back in the room, my little brother took me to the coffee table in the living room area, picked up my notebook that he had placed on it, and then took me to the work table.

He put the notebook on the table of the workbench, pulled out a chair and sat down. He held the mini me in both hands and sat there for a moment in a daze before turning on the desk lamp.

He slowly opened the book to the blank page, bent his left arm, held my hand and pressed it on the book, picked up the pen next to the pen bag on the table with his other hand, and began to draw something in the book while recalling it.

Wu Xie understood that it was probably impossible to find out what he wanted to know from these two people, so he proposed to the two people the idea of ​​interviewing the customer. Both of them looked embarrassed after hearing this. no respond.

Wu Xie asked: "I just want to know why your customer wants to buy this drawing and what is the use of this drawing."

The man surnamed Ruan seemed to be the more vocal of the two. He said to Wu Xie: "Our customer is very mysterious. He is a big shot and usually does not meet outsiders."

Wu Xie said: "Old man, among the big names in this industry, the most famous one is probably Jiumen."

The old man said: "Yes, the nine admirals of old Changsha are known to everyone in the eight professions. If you want to do business in Changsha city, you can only choose one of the nine major forces, nothing else. There’s a way to go.”

Wu Xie said: "If you put it this way, it seems that your patron must be one of the nine sects. Our Wu family is also one of the nine sects. I wonder which of the nine sects your patron is?"

As soon as these words came out, the two men finally relaxed and said: "Our customer is a woman. Others call her Mrs. Huo, nicknamed "Huo Xiangu"."

Wu Xie said "Oh" and said, "It turns out to be the Huo family of the lower third door. The Huo family is in charge, Mrs. Huo. Please tell me if you can give Mrs. Huo some noodles to meet her."

The old man said: "The Huo family of the old nine sects in Changsha, the first of the three lower sects, and the only woman among the nine sects, Mrs. Huo of Baishajing, disappeared after the Huo family's wife was found out.

This Huo Xiangu is her third daughter. I have met her once. What a fate. "

As he said that, the old man took out a name tag from his pocket and handed it to the two people, and said to them: "You two, this is my name tag. I hope you can tell me that it is Zheng Fuzhong from Xishan. I think it can be used." Need to meet." Wu Xie also handed him a business card.

This time the two of them nodded and said, "If we are related, we can give it a try. We look forward to good news." After saying that, they left as if they didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

After the two people left, Wu Xie said: "Does the old man need to be so arrogant? You are too old-fashioned, and you are handing out a sign?"

The old man smiled and said: "That's a figure from the Laojiu Sect. People who started out as walking gangs eat this way. This Miss Huo Xiangu, Miss Huo San, is over 80 years old. She lives in seclusion on weekdays and has no choice but to do antiques. If you don't like her, , I’m afraid she won’t pay attention to you at all.

It's not convenient for me to accompany you here. I have to remind you of something. It is said that your grandfather Wu Laogou and Miss Huo San have a close relationship. I don't know whether it is good or bad, but to be on the safe side, you'd better not talk too much.

You are a descendant of Wu Laogou. You are going to represent the Wu family, and you still have to bring a few people with you. You cannot show your shortcomings in front of others. "

Wu Xie replied: "Well, thank you for your advice."

The little brother had to think carefully before he started painting, one stroke at a time, so the speed was a bit slow. While I was waiting, I nestled in his hand, held his thumb and dozed off until I felt When I was lifted up, I smelled the delicious food. Bai Hao had come to deliver food. It was obviously noon.

I rubbed my eyes, watched him draw the pattern, and muttered: "This guy looks so fierce, with dragon horns, tiger head, big wings, Qiongqi, that person's tattoo is Qiongqi, then... It’s clear that he is definitely not the same person as us, so if we continue to explore the Zhang Family Ancient Building, this guy will definitely cause trouble and even kill people, but his whereabouts are elusive, so this is a big bomb.”

The little brother didn't react at all, but he seemed worried. Bai Hao said, "Who are you talking about? Qiongqi? Oh! The one with slumped shoulders appears?"

I said "yes" and said, "A Ningling informed us, so we hurried over. In addition to discovering that he had Qiongqi tattoos, we also found that he had two right fingers that were as long as each other. With these two characteristics, It can prove that he is indeed an elite on the enemy's side. This kind of person has been hiding in the mountains for decades, looking like neither a human nor a ghost. I don't think he dares to show up easily, but there are some things he has to take care of. He Although he is fierce, he seems to be afraid of something."

Bai Hao said: "It makes sense. Moreover, I think his organization may not even know that he is still alive. Maybe it is his organization that he is hiding from."

I looked up at Wu Xie's spiritual video screen that had been standing in the air in the room. The word "record" was flashing on the screen. This spiritual word was used to view the catalog abbreviation of Wu Xie's sounds and images recorded by the insect. icon.

Click on the word "Lu", and some entries will appear, including Zhang Qiling, Menyouping, Xiaoge, Sanshu, Wu Sansheng, Jiumen, Tomb, Zhang Family, Archaeological Team, etc. There are many related entries for these things, so You can only listen to the information related to the event. If Wu Xie triggers one or more entries, the word "record" will pop up, and the relevant entries will be lit by him.

I just added the entry for Style Thunder the night before. I thought there would be new clues about it in the near future. Unexpectedly, just one night later, Wu Xie triggered the entry for Style Thunder, as well as the Nine Gates, I was curious about what those entries about the Huo family were about. I reached out and shook my little brother and said, "There's some new news. Listen?" Then I looked at him with curious and expectant eyes.

He glanced at the entry and said "Yes", and I waved my hand and read the record. I learned that Mrs. Huo had the idea of ​​​​a weapon in Wu Xie's hand.

After separating from the old man, Wu Xie thought that in fact, he didn't know much about the relationship between his grandfather and Huo Xiangu, but he knew that it was an emotional debt. This Huo Xiangu was probably not a good-natured old lady. Now I have a headache.Moreover, the old man was right, he had to bring a few people with him. He was coming forward as a member of the Wu Family of the Nine Sects, so he had to be well prepared.

I already have a lot of experience in the field, but the human heart is far more sinister than gods and ghosts. I don't know the rules of these rivers and lakes affairs. I really can't handle it by myself, so I need to find someone who knows the ropes.

However, there are not many people left for Third Uncle to lead, and he only has Wang Meng, a layman who is not as good as himself. Taking him there is asking for trouble, and dragging him into the water is not very honest.

Lao Hai from Hero Mountain is a cunning old man. He will definitely not do such a high-risk thing that is not good for him.

Pan Zi was actually the most suitable candidate, but he decided to retire. After so many years of life and death, he finally had a good death, and he was determined not to ruin the good thing.

After thinking about it, the people around him who can help him are Xiaoxun and Fatty. Xiaoxun has a large family, and his brothers and sisters are also very reliable. Qilin Pavilion is also very powerful, so it would be easy to ask Qilin Pavilion to help him. It’s not inappropriate, but I’m afraid it might cause some trouble for others.

In fact, the most suitable person to accompany him is Fatty, but this person is too unreliable, dragging him into the water will definitely lead to unrest, but he is also quite famous in BJ, so it won't be a bad thing after thinking about it.

Next, everyone knows that Fatty has a bad temper. If something happens, it should be considered normal, and it will be better to have an excuse when the time comes.

Wu Xie thought a lot and finally made a decision, so he contacted Fatty, and heard Fatty say on the phone: "Oh, innocent, you miss me, Fatty."

Wu Xie chuckled and said, "No, I have something to do. I'm thinking that Fat Brother is the best person to handle this matter with me."

The fat man said "please", "What's the interesting thing? I'm so busy."

Wu Xie told him the ins and outs of the matter, and the fat man agreed without any hesitation. He also boasted to him: "Don't worry, I'm an expert in negotiations. You can leave it all to me. I'll take care of you." When the time comes, you will be respectable, so when will you come? Come early, and I will treat you to a drink."

After hearing what he said, Wu Xie on the phone suddenly felt a little regretful. Hearing the fat man's words sounded so energetic, he felt that it was not very reliable. After all, he could only believe half of what this guy said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was If you are not too impatient, you should ask Xiaoxun first, but you have already made an appointment, so you can only resign yourself to fate and say to him: "I'm also waiting for the letter. I don't know if the old lady will give me face. I'll let you know as soon as I get the letter. .”

The fat man said, "Okay, no problem."

In the past few days, I have been looking for some information about the Huo family, especially Huo Xiangu, for my brother to read. However, he didn't seem to remember anything. I only met her once, the time they cheated my brother.

However, I have met Huo Jinxi a few times. Women in the Huo family who can be the head of the family must have something in common. After thinking about Huo Sanniang and the Huo Xiangu I met briefly, I said to my brother: "I In summary, this Huo Xiangu is much more clever than Huo Sanniang, and she is more decisive and ruthless in her actions. It is almost impossible for people to catch her weaknesses. She is a difficult person. The incident between Huo Xiangu and Gou Wuye back then It seems that the trouble is not very pleasant, Wu Xie will definitely be bullied if he goes there, hey, it’s like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth.”

Bai Hao said: "It has been so many years since the relationship between the older generation and Master Gou is gone. She has her own family and career long ago, so she shouldn't hold grudges until now."

I said, "Who told you? Brother Chi Yan said that Huo Xiangu had some other purpose in getting close to Fifth Master Gou, but later she fell in love with Fifth Master Gou. After the accident with Fifth Master Gou, she and Huo Xiangu Their best friend, Grandma Wu, got married. When Huo Xiangu found them, Grandma Wu was already pregnant with the eldest brother, Wu Yiqiong. For Huo Xiangu, this was enough to make Huo Xiangu hate her out of love.

Therefore, although there is a reason why the fifth master Gou's matter happened like this, it is indeed inappropriate. Huo Xiangu is the head of the Huo family. If she gets into trouble with the fifth master Gou because of this matter, it will cause more harm to herself and she will be accused of not being able to protect everything. He was dumped by Mr. Gou Wu. We are all people with status in the world. If we didn't break up on the spot, it would be the last face given to us. That way everyone would look good.

From then on, she had nothing to do with the fifth master Gou, and they had no contact with each other for a long time. However, she was holding back her anger and had nowhere to vent it. There was always a thorn in her heart. Wu Xie, the little lamb, was brought to her by himself. This is miserable. "

At this moment, the brother's cell phone rang, and he picked it up. After a moment, he replied "Okay" and then hung up.

I guessed and asked, "What? Wu Xie?"

The little brother didn't respond, so I asked again: "Fat man?"

He looked at me. I thought I was right. Bai Hao also understood. He grabbed me from my younger brother's hand. I was hanging in the air. He said to me: "Hurry up and recover in the next few days." , it looks like I’ll be quite busy in the next few days.”

I said to him: "Put me down first."

Bai Hao pretended to let go to scare me, which scared me so much that I yelled at him: "I hate it."

Bai Hao laughed and put me back in his little brother's hand and said: "Change back quickly and practice walking after dinner. Otherwise, if I meet them in a few days, if they ask, oh, why is Xiaoxun injured?" I'll tell them clearly that you were spanked by my brother."

I knew that he was deliberately angry with me, so I gave him a "hum", turned my head and instantly became the size of a baby, hugged my little brother, and buried my little face in him. The little brother hugged me tightly and patted me gently. My back, he picked me up and walked to the dinner table.
