Chapter 48 It's Really You (Part )
The night is like water.
On the streets, fallen leaves were blown up by the autumn wind, and in the distance came the sounds of night watchmen's clappers and long shouts.
"It's dry, be careful with fire, everyone please be careful!"
"It's dry, be careful with fire, everyone please be careful!"
Deep inside the Governor's Mansion, Hu Jinghui stood in his bedroom, changed into the Viper costume for the last time, and slowly inserted the Youlan Sword into the scabbard.
Hu Jinghui took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought for a while. When everything was ready, he blew out the oil lamp and prepared for action.
Hu Jinghui cleverly avoided the patrol team he had arranged and quietly went to Li Yuanfang's room to check the situation.
It was dark in Li Yuanfang's room, but he could vaguely see a figure on the bed.
Hu Jinghui breathed a sigh of relief. The medicine was still working. The burden in his heart was slightly lifted, and he quickly turned to Di Renjie's bedroom.
However, when Hu Jinghui arrived at Di Renjie's bedroom, he found that the door was locked with a copper lock.
But this lock could not stop the killer Viper. He gently drew out the Youlan Sword, and with a flash of sword light, the copper lock broke.
As soon as the copper lock was opened and the door was pushed open, Hu Jinghui's feet seemed to be equipped with pulleys and he floated towards the wooden bed where Li Er was hiding.
Hu Jinghui floated to Li Er's bed, stopped and opened the drawer under the bed.
The moment the drawer was opened, the person inside did not show his head, only the lower half of his body, and he was wearing a pair of shoes on his feet.
Hu Jinghui immediately realized that something was wrong. This was definitely not Li Er. He pushed the drawer back with a "clang".
He drew out the Youlan Sword, made a sword flower move, and stabbed it right in the middle of the wooden bed.
But the sword missed.
The sword was drawn out, shining coldly but without a trace of blood.
Hu Jinghui's attack failed and he was stunned.
At this moment, a sword came out from the side of the drawer and slashed towards Hu Jinghui's feet.
Hu Jinghui dodged the attack and flew away.
The wooden bed suddenly moved forward, and then stood up like magic.
If there was a knowledgeable passerby here, he would immediately recognize that this was the combo that Tuoluo Digui Wen Zhong used in the battle against Li Yuanfang, except that he used a coffin.
Hu Jinghui was quite surprised when he saw this and was in a trance for a moment.
A moment later, he reacted, held his sword horizontally, kicked off the ground, and flew towards the wooden bed.
However, a chain knife suddenly flew out from the wooden bed, forcing Hu Jinghui to retreat, with the blade nailed to the window frame on the wall.
Now Hu Jinghui was even more surprised, because the chain knife was Li Yuanfang's weapon!
Just as Hu Jinghui was hesitating, the wooden bed suddenly rushed towards him, lifted him up, smashed the wooden door of the west room, and flew out of the west room into the lobby.
Hu Jinghui was no ordinary man after all. He grabbed the chandelier in the lobby and used the momentum to stab the wooden bed, breaking it into pieces.
Behind the wooden bed, Li Yuanfang had already retracted the chain knife, swung the knife to block Hu Jinghui's sword, and fought while retreating.
At this moment, Li Yuanfang suddenly split into two, and one of them stabbed Hu Jinghui with a sword.
Hu Jinghui was caught off guard and narrowly avoided the vital points, but was stabbed in the shoulder.
The other man turned over and kicked Hu Jinghui hard.
Hu Jinghui was finally unable to dodge, and after being kicked, he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood. His body flew backwards like a kite and he fell to the ground, unable to struggle.
Two figures, each holding a sword, came in front of Hu Jinghui, one was Li Yuanfang and the other was Zhao Ji.
"You didn't expect that we would meet again, old friend?" Li Yuanfang said to Hu Jinghui.
Before Hu Jinghui could answer, Di Renjie, who was hiding behind the scenes, slowly walked out.
Seeing Di Renjie, Hu Jinghui was terrified and struggled to avoid him, but he had just been seriously injured and could not struggle anymore.
Seeing Di Renjie getting closer and closer, Hu Jinghui wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but he couldn't move and could only lower his head. "Now, let us see your true face."
Di Renjie walked up to Hu Jinghui and tried to take off his mask.
Hu Jinghui was still dodging in vain, while Di Renjie, pinching the mask, also paused.
But everyone still has to face reality in the end.
The mask was taken off - Viper Tiger Jinghui was finally exposed.
"It's really you." Di Renjie sighed, his voice full of regret and disappointment.
Hu Jinghui also felt ashamed to see Di Renjie again, so he turned his head away and closed his eyes.
Di Renjie turned around and handed the mask to Li Yuanfang, then turned his back, unable to bear to look at Hu Jinghui any longer.
Zhao Ji was also quite touched by this scene. He bent over, picked up the Youlan sword with ancient patterns and handed it to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie turned around, took the sword and grasped the hilt, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
"I once suspected Yuan Fang, Da You, and even Li Er who was stabbed by you. But I never doubted you."
Hu Jinghui sighed and smiled helplessly: "It's really my honor."
Di Renjie was angry again because he didn't fight back, and asked, "Why, why did you do such a treasonous thing? The emperor has been very kind to you. You were less than 35 years old and you became the General of the Guards, a rank below the fourth rank."
"Why? I don't understand, what on earth are you doing this for?"
Di Renjie's voice became higher and higher, and he asked "why" several times. He really couldn't understand and accept the current situation.
Hearing Di Renjie's question, Hu Jinghui sneered.
"Hehe, sir, do you know why my last name is Hu?"
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were stunned when they heard this, only Zhao Ji crossed his arms, sighed and shook his head slightly.
Hu Jinghui said with a mocking look on his face: "Actually my last name is not Hu, my last name is Fu."
After these words were spoken, Di Renjie froze, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie in confusion, not understanding why he was so surprised and lost his composure.
"You...you are the descendant of Queen Wang?" Di Renjie pointed at Hu Jinghui in disbelief.
Hu Jinghui nodded and fell into reminiscence: "I am the nephew of Queen Wang. More than 30 years ago, Wu Zetian framed the Queen, and all the males over 15 years old in my Wang family were killed."
"My father and uncle were both torn to pieces by chariots. At that time, I was just one month old when Wu Zetian gave me the surname Fu and exiled my family to Lingnan. When I was ten years old, my aunt and sister died of plague. From then on, I drifted alone in the world, begging for food, doing hard labor, and doing everything..."
"Later, the Turks invaded the border and the imperial court recruited soldiers. I changed my mind and joined the army. Because I fought bravely and made many military achievements, I was promoted to General of the Leopard Guard. Once, Wu Zetian reviewed the troops in Nanyuan and praised my bravery and promoted me to General of the Thousand Bull Guards."
"So that's how it is." Di Renjie looked at Hu Jinghui with sympathy.
Hu Jinghui's eyes were gleaming with flames of hatred: "My Lord, the emperor has shown me great kindness, isn't he?"
"Hmph, I wish I could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin! To avenge my dead family!" Hu Jinghui said gritting his teeth.
Hearing about Hu Jinghui's tragic experience, Di Renjie's heart softened, and his tone also softened.
"Chengyuan, Yuanfang, help him up."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji and Li Yuanfang hurried over to help Hu Jinghui to the couch next to them.
After sitting down to catch his breath, Hu Jinghui asked:
"Sir, how did you find out that I am Viper? What happened to Yuan Fang? He was clearly shot with a poison needle, and I gave him a knockout drug, but now he is alive and well?"
Hu Jinghui didn't feel unwilling, he just didn't want to die in vain.
Thanks to the big boss "The Destroyer of Passing By the World" for the reward, and thank you all for your monthly ticket support.
