The one who is shameless and not ashamed to ask questions is Fatty Wang; however, each of his jokes is just right, which shows that he is no ordinary person.
…………
"Let's split up here. That's the inner passage, you go that way."
Jie Yuchen obviously knew more than Wu Xie. After he helped guide the way, he followed Huo Xiuxiu to another passage.
drop
Check the guest’s identity - Wu Xie, the eldest grandson of the Wu family’s eldest branch, belongs to the sixth branch, and is allowed to pass.
"It really works, and it's so smart that it can confirm your identity without showing your ID card. But you're in, what should I do, Fatty?"
drop
Check the identity of the guests - Wang Banyue, Wang Kaixuan's nephew, Chen Yulou's godparents, they all belong to the first house, and are allowed to pass.
"Fatty, are you hiding well enough?"
"Oh my god, Fatty, I am from the eldest house, how come I don't know it?"
Wang Banyue really didn’t know when she was assigned to the eldest wife’s house.
"You are all from the Governor's Mansion. Please follow me to the third floor box."
"Girl, we are looking for Mrs. Huo, can you take us to her place?"
Wu Xie went straight to the point.
"Go to the private room on the third floor and have some snacks first. Mrs. Huo is meeting a distinguished guest on the fifth floor. I will notify you as soon as she comes down."
"Oh, thank you for your help, girl. We will be waiting for your news on the third floor."
After entering the Crescent Hotel, Wang Banyue looked straight ahead, looking like a good boy.
...............
There are eight private rooms on the fifth floor of Crescent Hotel, namely Qian Tian, Kun Di, Zhen Lei, Xun Feng, Dui Ze, Gen Shan, Li Huo and Kan Shui.
It was in Lihuo Pavilion that Fairy Huo met Huo Jinxi.
"I should have told you a long time ago not to bother me with the Huo family's affairs. I've helped you deal with enough troubles over the years, haven't I?"
Time flies, and the niece who was once well-behaved and sensible has long become hateful in Huo Jinxi's eyes.
"Aunt, I'm not here to see you about the Huo family, but about Xiuxiu. This girl is quite clever, and I want her to stay with you as a maid. This way, you don't have to change maids every once in a while..."
"Do you regret... regretting being the head of the Huo family?"
Huo Jinxi looked straight ahead.
"Yes, I regret it. I have regretted it since forty years ago. Every day when I wake up and look in the mirror, I regret it when I see my face getting older.
Why was I blinded by the identity of the head of the Huo family and missed such a good opportunity in vain…"
Immortality seems illusory in the eyes of others, but Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinlian use their own examples to prove that it is true. How could Huo Xiangu, who missed the chance to become an immortal, not regret it?
"Grandma, what are you doing..."
Huo Xiuxiu followed the instructions and came to the box, but was surprised to see Huo Xiangu kneeling on the ground.
"Xiu Xiu, kneel down. This is your grandmother. Hurry up and call someone..."
In order to help her granddaughter regain the immortal fate she had lost, Fairy Huo put a lot of effort into it.
"Grandma?"
Huo Xiuxiu's knowledge of Huo Jinxi and Huo Jinlian came only from her grandmother's description. Looking at the girl in front of her, she found it hard to associate her with the word "grandmother".
However, she obeyed Huo Xiangu's orders and knelt down as ordered.
"Everyone, get up. I shouldn't have come to see you out of weakness."
"Thank you, auntie, thank you, auntie..."
In Huo Xiangu's view, Huo Jinxi's words seemed to be an agreement with her request.
"Take off the human skin mask..."
"what?"
While Huo Xiuxiu was puzzled, Huo Xiangu beside her did not hesitate at all. She took off her mask and revealed her true face. She did not look old at all and looked like a young girl.
"You...you are not my grandma, what did you do to my grandma?"
Huo Xiuxiu lost her voice.
"It seems that you have taken away Wu Laogou's dog talisman, but is it interesting for you to live like this now?
"Every day I feel like my body and mind are being torn apart by a knife. Isn't it hard to live like this?"
"It's really hard, but my aunt is willing to take Xiuxiu in. Once I finish taking care of the Huo family's affairs, I'll be free."
Huo Xiangu is obviously not a person who is afraid of death.
Chapter 465 Discussion
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
Seeing Huo Xiangu in such a state, Huo Jinxi finally softened her heart.
"Take out the dog charm."
"what?"
"I said you took out the dog charm."
"Yes, aunt."
Knowing Huo Jinxi's abilities and skills, Huo Xiangu was not worried at all that the other party would try to steal this thing.
"This is the last time I'll help you clean up your mess."
As he spoke, Huo Jinxi took off a pendant from the bracelet on his left hand. The pendant, which was originally only the size of a middle fingernail, instantly turned into a token as long as a girl's arm.
away from fire
The words on the token are exactly the same as the name of the private room.
Huo Jinxi took the Lihuo token and tapped the bronze dog talisman lightly, and Huo Xiangu began to age at a speed visible to the naked eye; in less than a minute, she changed from a young girl to an old and frail person, and her appearance was 90% similar to when she was wearing the human skin mask.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Although she has grown older, Xiangu Huo does not necessarily blame Huo Jinxi. Instead, she only feels sincere gratitude towards her.
Because this was the most comfortable day she had felt in the past ten years.
This process seems very advanced and metaphysical, but it is actually very simple.
It is like Li Chengqian opened a loan shark company, and Huo Xiangu borrowed high-interest loans from this company. She has reached the point where she can no longer repay the money, and has been subjected to violent debt collection.
Huo Jinxi was the elder after all, and couldn't bear to see her niece suffer, so she took out the bank card given by Li Chengqian and paid back the money.
"Are you really my grandma?"
Everything that was happening before her eyes was too unscientific, and Huo Xiuxiu was still in a state of confusion.
"Silly girl, I am of course your grandmother. That was originally the effect of the dog charm. The dog charm can make people stay young and immortal, but they also have to endure the pain of immortality every day and night. Today I am free."
Huo Xiangu said happily.
"You probably have about two years left to live. During this time, let this girl stay with you. You can also take some time to teach her what she needs to pay attention to when doing things around me."
Huo Jinxi is somewhat hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. Otherwise, she could have learned from Huo Jinlian and not met them; she could also have learned from the Ren sisters and moved abroad directly after their relatives passed away, completely cutting off ties with the family.
...............
"Fatty, what's going on? We were just talking fine, why did she suddenly turn hostile?"
Wu Xie covered his left cheek with his hand, looking confused.
I was bored staying in the box, so I just wandered in the corridor for two days, and by chance I met a beautiful Miao girl with fair skin.
Fatty Wang approached and started a conversation, but the other party obviously liked Wu Xie more. The two began to chat happily, but unexpectedly, the girl suddenly turned hostile the next second.
Just because Fatty Wang deliberately sabotaged him, he stopped calling Wu Xie Xiao Tian Zhen and started calling him by his real name.
"You ask me, who should I ask? I guess the little girl saw through your perverted nature."
Fatty Wang is already in his early thirties. He finally met a fair-skinned, beautiful girl with long legs. He wanted to perform well and solve his personal problems, but Wu Xie, his wingman, was too unprofessional and directly stole his limelight. How could he still have a good face?
"No, you must know the reason..."
Wu Xie was just naive but not stupid. He could still see that the fat man was deliberately causing trouble.
"Just by looking at her attire, you should know that she is from the Shen family of Magu Cave. The Shen family is from the seventh branch, and they are irreconcilable with your sixth branch. You are still staring at her with lustful eyes, who else should I hit if not you?"
Wang Banyue said unhappily.
"The Sixth House and the Seventh House are irreconcilable. Why is that?"
"Why so many questions? It's just a matter of following the example of the superiors. The Sixth Madam and the Seventh Madam don't get along. Since the superiors are not right, the subordinates will naturally be hostile to each other.
After the military governor disappeared, the first wife was the one who put pressure on him. Otherwise, the people from your two houses would have fought each other long ago."
The only gossip in the world is the most popular.
"Sixth Madam, Seventh Madam, First Madam? They are all Li Dujun's concubines. Is that what you mean by Sixth and Seventh Madam?"
Wu Xie said uncertainly.
"What else do you think? Wait... Tian Zhen, what you mean by this is that you look down on your mistress. This is going to cause big trouble.
The most taboo thing in life is to serve others and smash their pots; if it weren't for the Sixth Concubine's protection, your Wu family should have been beaten forty years ago. If that had been the case, it's hard to say whether you would exist or not."
Seeing that Wu Xie really didn't understand these things very well and fearing that he might say something disastrous, Fatty quickly warned him.
"General Li was the first president of the Xingcheng Military Academy, and at the time he controlled the military power of the five southwestern provinces. I can understand that he was very powerful. But he had been missing for thirty years forty years ago, and his concubine still had such power; Fatty, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
Wu Xie looked disapproving.
“It’s not an exaggeration at all. Not to mention forty years ago, even now, the top military leaders are all controlled by the Hunan clique.
What is the southwest called? They call it an autonomous region. And the current head of the Southwest Military Region, do you know who he is? He is the grandson of Li Dujun's adjutant.
These Hunan people don't just obey the orders of Li Dujun's wives, but they also follow their lead. Do you still think they have no power?"
"Then tell me about the nine wives of the Governor's Mansion, so that I don't get beaten for no reason again..."
Wu Xie's true intentions were finally revealed.
"So you're waiting for me here? Okay, Fatty is in a good mood today, so I'll chat with you.
It is said that in the early years of the Republic of China, a strange man appeared in Hunan Province. No one knew his origins, but everyone who met him was impressed by his personal charm..."
"Fatty, are you telling me a story?"
Wang Banyue talked and gestured for more than half an hour, and finally pissed off Wu Xie.
"Young man, can you please be patient? I'm just about to tell you the origins of the nine ladies. Do you want to hear it?"
"Okay, you say..."
Wu Xie gritted his teeth.
"No one knows the origin of the eldest wife. It is said that she comes from the Western Regions; the second wife and the fourth wife are sisters and come from the Ren family in Hunan Province; the third wife and the fifth wife are also sisters. They come from the Huo family, the same as your childhood friend. , but it is said that due to some special reasons, the two parties have made a clean break and are no longer in contact.
The origin of your Sixth Madam is also very mysterious. It is said that she is not a human..."
Wang Banyue kept the secret.
"Not a human, what do you mean?"
"Aren't you well-informed? Have you ever heard of the Kar tribe?"
"There's a large tropical rain forest in Yunnan Province, and there are people from the Southwest Military Region stationed there all year round. They won't let us in. Is it because of Madam Six?"
Wu Xie suddenly realized.
"Smart, in fact, it's not just Yunnan Province, there are many places in China and abroad that have designated nature reserves, all because Madam Six wants to give her people living space; she is the true queen of the Kar tribe."
"The Governor's Office also has influence abroad?"
"How fresh! World War II only lasted for half a year in our country. The rest of the time we were out there bullying others. The troops stationed in Japan, India, and Australia are all from the Hunan faction. Do you think the Governor-General's Office has any influence abroad?"
Fatty Wang was very proud of it.
