Chapter 558: Gratitude and grudges

 “Master Hu is auspicious, may Master Hu be blessed and make a fortune...”

“Douguan paid his respects to the master. We haven’t seen him for three to five days. The master has become more handsome. Douguan first kowtows to the master...”

 “Head…head…”

　　　…”

When Huma returned to Zhumen Town, before Huma was even two miles away, countless little angels suddenly swarmed in front of him, vying to come and pay homage to him.

The most diligent ones rushed to the front, one was a lame kid, kowtowing as if pounding garlic, and kowtowed four or five times in an instant. The other was a cheerful kid wearing a small official uniform. He was respectful and dignified, and kowtowed seriously. .

Behind them, there was a group of weird looking guys, including Xu Xiangzhu's, bald old Zhang's, and I couldn't tell who they were from, but these brats were because the first two performed too well. , suddenly felt ashamed and forgot to speak.

At the end, you can see a little headless ghost, which also wanted to come and report the news, but the paper head was blown away by the wind, and it is chasing after it. When the wind blows, it takes a few steps and circles twice. I couldn't keep up, so I forgot to say hello to Hu Ma.

"No need to say it, I know everything. Just go back and make your master feel at ease."

Hu Ma also had a headache when she saw so many little heads buzzing around. She didn't have time to ask them one by one, so she comforted them and asked them to disperse. At the same time, she reached out and took out a piece of blood food for the lame kid.

So the lame kid jumped up and went away happily, only attracting envious looks from the other kids.

We entered the town without disturbing others along the way. From a distance, we could see outside the town, square camps and clusters of soldiers and horses. They were well arranged and lined up for twenty or thirty miles. They were divided into front and rear camps. It looks like it has some military majesty.

As we walked further in, we arrived at the Zhumen Town. I was surprised to see that it had only been missing for a day. Not only was there no sign of the man going to suppress Kongkong, the Zhumen Town actually looked more orderly and even more domineering than the camp outside.

It makes sense when you think about it, the general is protecting the food outside, but everyone knows that the general is protecting the Red Lantern Lady, so shouldn’t the temple temple in this town have to be stricter than the outside?

Not only were there people guarding every intersection, but there were also people with swords and armor patrolling everywhere. The only thing that was a bit awkward was that because the guards were so tight, it didn't look like they were protecting the Red Lantern Lady, but like they were locking her up. I came here to avoid her sneaking away.

Arriving in front of the guard, Hu Ma wanted to smile and say something nice so that he could enter the town, but unexpectedly saw Xu Xiangzhu coming out of the town, with a serious expression and a sad face. When he saw Hu Ma, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately indulged. The horse came after him.

Two or three feet away, the man had already rolled off the horse, looked at Hu Ma, opened his mouth, but did not speak, just looked straight at him.

Hu Ma smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Xu Xiangzhu looked at him with a serious expression and lowered his voice: "I don't want to beat around the bush. Now that I'm talking to you, do I need to kneel down and kowtow? How many times?"

 “Kowtow to what?”

Hu Ma looked surprised: "I always call you uncle."

 “You are by that noble man’s side…”

Xu Xiangzhu had an anxious look on his face and lowered his voice as he spoke. He was nervous, excited, and obviously confused with a bit of surprise. It was really hard to see so many expressions on a person's face at the same time.

Hu Ma looked at him and suddenly said: "What noble man?"

"ah?"

Xu Xiangzhu glanced at Hu Ma's waist. The smiling mask was still tied there. Moreover, he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. But since they didn't recognize him, he had no choice but to take a long breath and said, "Understood." , I know all the rules.”

“Xian…nephew…brother…hey, it’s okay to call me grandpa…”

"But no matter what, you have to tell me everything. If you say a word in Zhuangzi, I will call a bunch of old guys here, join this food protection army, and fight a few stupid battles without thinking. , but how could I have imagined that now that we have reached here, it will be difficult to enter the city..."

　　　…”

Looking at Xu Xiangzhu’s anxious expression, hesitant to speak, Hu Ma laughed in a low voice and said, “Uncle Xu, you are not an outsider, and you have something to say, as a gift…”

As he spoke, he leaned over and bowed slightly, then said: "...I can't say too much about people who are running errands for people. Now is the critical time for the food security army to enter the city. The situation is naturally dangerous, but do you think it is the things in the city that are powerful? Is that noble man powerful?"

Xu Xiangzhu's brows suddenly relaxed, and he whispered: "So, who knows everything here?"

"Haha, I can't say whether that person knows. Anyway, when those people from the city come, the noble man will know it. Otherwise, can I persuade Xu Shuqian to lend a hand?"

“Just remember, don’t be distracted by the movements on those faces, or lose your focus at the critical moment. When this happens, we will meet in Mingzhou City, that’s it.”

　　　…”

Hearing this, Xu Xiangzhu's face turned red with excitement, and he raised his hands to Hu Ma: "From now on, please don't call me Uncle Xu anymore. You call me nephew, and I just call you uncle. I didn't expect that my old Xu is in trouble." After so many years in the world, he still has such a good life. "

Hu Ma was speechless when she heard this. She also knew that with these words as a foundation, if the Red Lantern Empress wanted to leave the food protection army, then the following shopkeepers and incense owners would probably not agree, so she also said a few words with a smile. .

Then he was not polite and asked nephew Xu to help him find a secluded house in this town.

He didn’t say who he was waiting for, he just opened one door and left one open. Then he sat in the hall and waited. He only wanted a pot of tea and drank it slowly. This is the rule of not eating cows.

As soon as he returned to the town, the disciples who didn't eat cows knew that he was coming, but they didn't know if it was convenient for him to come directly to see him.

　　Open one door and close another door. They will see you and come.

 “Uncle Master has great supernatural powers, and his wonderful kindness has opened his eyes...”

As expected, after drinking less than half of the bowl of tea, someone came, it was Fairy Miaoshan.

She personally led a horse, and behind it was a cart. The cart was filled with things. When she entered the yard, she came forward to kowtow. When Hu Ma spared her the gift, she quickly got up and got out of the cart. A beautifully carved wooden box the size of a wine jar was taken out.

Hand held it over with both hands, Hu Ma took it in his hand, opened it, looked at it, put it under the table, and then looked at the car behind her: "Why did you bring so many things?"

"ah?"

Xiangu Miaoshan was startled for a moment, but she felt a little embarrassed: "These are all my luggage, the clothes I carry with me, the things I am used to, the money to buy rouge, needles, thread, etc..."

“…This is the only box that brings to my uncle for business.”

　　　…”

"All right…"

 Hu Ma was a little helpless, thinking that this person is here to do something important, do you think he is moving directly?

Seeing that the Miaoshan fairy girl saw him, her brows were full of joy. She peeked from time to time and said with a smile: "Why do you praise people when you come up?"

Fairy Miaoshan quickly lowered her voice and said: "I knew that the leader was extraordinary, but I could only see through it before. Now I know that the leader has such good means and actually got into the side of that silly young master in the mountains..."

 “Wonderful, I really respect the leader...”

　　　…”

Hu Ma was not surprised after hearing this.

In the past few days, some people have arrived at Bu Shi Niu. Maybe some people came early as soon as he arrived in Zhumen Town. They also saw the scene where he appeared as a ghost hunter. According to these people Being smart, he had found out this identity a long time ago.

So he tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried about me?"

Miao Shanxiangu was startled: "Why are you worried?"

Hu Ma thought about it, but it was hard to say too carefully.

The name of the Hu family’s Zhenzhou Mansion comes from the idea of ​​suppressing the evil spirits of reincarnated persons. Logically speaking, the Hu family should have a deep hatred for the reincarnated persons.

But it seems that both the Erguotou and Miss Baijiu they know just treat the Hu family as ordinary people with the ten surnames. Of course they are afraid, but they are only afraid of the ten surnames, rather than being particularly afraid. Hu family.

It would make sense to say that the reincarnations of this generation are just too low-key and do not know what happened in the past. However, Buchi Niu is a disciple of the reincarnations of the previous generation, and the reincarnations of the previous generation should have suffered losses from the Hu family.

It would be normal if the hatred in the hearts of the reincarnations of the previous generation was transmitted to Bushi Niu, but now it seems that Bushi Niu actually has no special emotions towards Zhencheng Mansion?

　　‘Is it the **** Miao Shan who doesn’t know, or the disciples who don’t eat cows don’t know? ’

Originally, Hu Maliang's identity as a runaway ghost was a deliberate one, and he had thought about how to explain it. But now that Miao Shan didn't care about it, he didn't explain it specifically, and just smiled and said, "I told you about the Mingzhou meeting." Lively, what do you think now?"

 “Amazing.”

When Fairy Miaoshan heard this, she became happy and praised: "We have been running Yiqianjiao for many years. We have made friends with well-known people and wealthy families. We are also always concerned about the situation in the world. We hold the Lantern Festival to earn fame. To build momentum and achieve great things.”

"Unexpectedly, while we were still preparing, Mingzhou fell suddenly became popular, and the momentum was stronger than ours. When the brothers and sisters came over, they were all pleasantly surprised, and they were gearing up to make a big move. Let’s do something…”

　　　…”

 At this point, he paused briefly and said, "They are all waiting everywhere. Does Uncle Master want to summon them as the leader?"

“…It’s not that they don’t come on their own initiative, there are rules in the church, but they don’t have enough status and cannot be seen unless they are called.”

　　　…”

“No need for now, just help me if I have something to say. With my status, it’s not easy for me to meet too many people.”

Hu Ma waved his hand, took a serious look at Fairy Miaoshan, and said, "Don't just say nice things. Don't you see the difficulty here?"

"this…"

Xiangu Miaoshan was startled, and when she spoke, she seemed to lack confidence. She whispered: "Uncle Master, let me tell you straight, the food protection army has no chance of winning."
