Many people probably didn't remember who Hu Shuanzi was. Even Jiang Wang might not have an impression of this name if he suddenly heard it.
Most of the ordinary people in this world had such a sense of existence.
When Hu Laogen was still alive, perhaps some people still remembered Hu Shuanzi, this simple and honest young man. But after Hu Laogen died, he became even more silent.
As the saying goes, when a man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Hu Laogen, the former village constable, had no children, so he got Hu Shuanzi, who was somewhat related to him, into the town hall to take care of him.
In fact, during this period of time, Hu Shuanzi also did a lot of things. Maintaining order, transporting supplies, publicizing the strategy to prevent and control the plague … In short, he did everything he could do.
He also especially consulted the guarding warriors of the mine (now incorporated into the Qingyang Town Hall) about martial arts, and practiced hard every day.
Although Jiang Wang gave Dugu Xiao power, she needed to work hard to win it.
Hu Shuanzi was the most resolute executor of any command of Dugu Xiao. At first, it was under his leadership that other people slowly began to recognize Dugu Xiao's command.
But that was all. No matter how much he wanted to do, his strength was limited.
Naturally, he was the first to notice the change in Dugu Xiao's mood.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he swayed in front of Dugu Xiao several times before he finally plucked up the courage to say, "Xiao Xiao, are you happy today?"
Dugu Xiao raised her head and smiled at him, "Yes, Brother Shuanzi."
That was all. She didn't explain why she was happy, nor did she want to share her happiness with him.
Of course, she knew Shuanzi's feelings, but she had already said what needed to be said.
In a world where extraordinary power ran rampant, ordinary people had no future.
She used to think that she also had no future.
So she tried her best to keep up with Jiang Wang's footsteps and tried her best to show her value. It was all because of the lack of a sense of security, all because of the anxiety of precarious life.
She was afraid that she would be abandoned without hesitation if she was even a little bit slower. She would fall back into that gray world again.
But now, with Jiang Wang's promise, she even began to look forward to the future excessively.
In that colorful world, Hu Shuanzi naturally didn't exist.
She was willing to act a little closer to Hu Shuanzi because she was grateful for his kind intentions. Using such an attitude to make others respect Hu Shuanzi more was an equal return in her eyes.
There was neither too much nor too little.
Seeing that Dugu Xiao didn't have any intention to say more, Hu Shuanzi laughed foolishly, "Then you can continue with your work."
To him, this smile was enough.
In fact, Dugu Xiao rarely smiled. She wore a cold face most of the time, which made her look more mature.
The others might not know, or they might not care.
But he knew that he cared.
Walking out of the town hall and across the courtyard, he walked past Xiang Qian, who was sunbathing on a lounge chair. The hard work he had put in previously was like the final radiance of a dying man. After the plague was brought under control, he quickly reverted to his old ways. If he could sit, he would never stand. If he could lie down, he would never sit.
"It's useless," Fang Qian suddenly said as Hu Shuanzi walked past.
Hu Shuanzi did not dare to be negligent. He stopped and turned around, respectfully asking, "Master Xiang, do you want to talk to me?"
Fang Qian didn't even lift his eyelids, but clearly, there was no one else there. "Give up. You don't belong to the same world. You can't reach her even if you stand on your tiptoes. It was like this in the past, and it will be even more so in the future. "
Hu Shuanzi probably understood, but he didn't say anything.
"The road ahead is long …" Fang Qian sighed. "Shuanzi, why don't you not go?"
"I don't know if Lu Man is man or not, or if she's far away, Master Xiang," Shuanzi said seriously, "I'm just looking. It's already very good."
The sunlight was really good, making people feel that the world was bright and beautiful.
"Since you've made up your mind, then work hard. I'm talking about real hard work, not running around like a headless fly like you are now. "
Fang Qian lay on his back and opened his eyes to look at the cloudless sky. In a daze, he had an illusion that the whole sky was about to collapse. "When you've really worked hard, you'll understand … that working hard is useless."
"Okay, Master Xiang."
Hu Shuanzi seemed to understand, but in fact, he left in confusion.
Everyone saw the world differently.
Fang Qian could sunbathe leisurely, but Hu Shuanzi only felt that … it was really hot.
…
…
Hengyang County was the head of the three counties in Yang Country, and the country's capital was naturally in this county.
The capital of Yang Country was called "Zhaoheng." The original name was "Tianxiong." It was only changed to "Zhaoheng" after it bowed to Qi. That was something that happened many years ago.
At this moment, in the palace of Zhaoheng City, an ordinary-looking young man was sitting in a side hall and waiting.
Not only did he look ordinary, but his temperament was also very ordinary. Even though he was wearing luxurious clothes, he looked a little out of place. In short, he didn't look noble.
If Jiang Wang was here, he would recognize this person. It was the self-proclaimed number one assassin in the Eastern Region, Ah Ce, whom he met at World Tower in Cang Feng City.
To be able to hang the signboard of an assassin organization in a big city and make it more lively than ordinary restaurants, World Tower was naturally not simple. At least, they had some connections in the local government.
But Jiang Wang probably didn't expect that Ah Ce was not simple to the extent that he could enter and leave the palace as he pleased.
He was actually the fifth and youngest son of the current king of Yang Country. His surname was Yang, and his name was Xuance.
As the saying goes, "The royal family loves the eldest son, the people love the youngest son."
It wasn't clear whether it was true or not, but Yang Xuance was extremely disliked.
The Yang Country was only so big. When he was born, most of the things that should be shared and occupied were taken by his brothers. He didn't even get any leftovers, so he simply gave up on the idea of going to the palace.
Being an idle prince was one thing, but he also went to establish an assassin organization and called himself the number one assassin in the Eastern Region. He spent money to hire a bunch of idlers to visit the organization all day long and pretended that business was good. In fact, he was losing money all the time.
This little prince didn't do things well, didn't look good, and didn't have a good family background.
His mother was just a lowly palace maid. His birth was the result of a drunken whim of His Majesty.
That pitiful palace maid, after giving birth to Yang Xuance, died for no apparent reason. There was still no explanation.
Some said it was because the Empress Dowager, who was still alive at that time, didn't like it. Some said it was because of the Empress … It was unclear.
In short, it was a mess.
He didn't hesitate to open the letter left by Jiang Wang. After all, World Tower wasn't a place that cared about reputation.
Originally, he just thought it was something interesting. After reading it, he immediately came to Zhaoheng City.
No matter how many people scolded him for being insensible, he could understand how terrible the plague that ravaged the Yang Country was. If the White Bone Path had any further movements, the Yang Country would be on high alert.
He didn't like Zhaoheng City. He didn't like it at all. Whether it was the streets or the air here, there was a kind of coldness that made him feel suffocated. So he would rather hide in Cang Feng City and run his unsuccessful assassin business.
But no matter what, his home was still here. He was born here and grew up here.
But he didn't expect that when he finally went back to the palace, he would drink a cup of tea for several hours. He didn't even get to see his father.
His Majesty was really busy! Yang Xuance thought to himself in boredom.
The crown prince could see the king at any time. He was also a son, but if he wanted to see the king, he had to report it repeatedly.
He wanted to leave, but when he thought of the letter …
"How long do I have to wait?" He couldn't help but tap his cup.
The young eunuch serving him said submissively, "This servant … this servant really doesn't know …"
"Then what do you know?"
"This servant is guilty. This servant deserves to die." The young eunuch was flustered and only knew how to kneel and beg for mercy.
"That's all you have to say." Yang Xuance was indeed a bit angry, but he held it in. "I won't make things difficult for you. Go ask Eunuch Liu. How long will my father be busy? I have something important to talk to him about! "
The young eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground. "This servant will go ask him right away."
He left and didn't return.
Tea, tea, tea. He hadn't left yet, but the tea had already turned cold.
He had the royal bloodline! Was he some poor relative trying to curry favor with nobles?
Even though Yang Xuance had long been used to being ignored, it was still unbearable to be ignored to this extent and so thoroughly.
He didn't fight or snatch. But that didn't mean he didn't have to give up the most basic respect!
He simply got up and left the side hall, ignoring the prohibition and the palace maids' attempts to stop him. His sleeves fluttered as he walked straight to the Yangxin Palace Hall, where the king of Yang Country dealt with state affairs.
Let's see who dares to stop me! He sneered inwardly.
As soon as he arrived at the Yangxin Palace Hall, a kind-looking beardless old man appeared silently in front of him.
"Your Highness, where have you come from?"
This person was the eunuch Liu Huai, who was the king's most trusted aide and often served him.
Even the crown prince of Yang Country didn't dare to slight him.
Seeing that it was him, Yang Xuance could only restrain his anger. "I'm here to see my father."
Then, he added, feeling even more humiliated, "I have something important to talk to him about!"
"I see …" Liu Huai seemed to have just found out about this. He smiled politely. "Your Highness, you've worked hard."
"Why would I complain about working hard for the sake of the country?" Yang Xuance said, then reminded him, "Is my father in the hall right now?"
"Ah, His Majesty is here."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to inform him," Yang Xuance said.
"This is a difficult time for the country, and His Majesty is busy every day. When he's done with this, I'll definitely pass on the message for Your Highness. "
Liu Huai said respectfully, "The sun is scorching hot. Your Highness, why don't you have another cup of tea?"
Tea … Another cup of tea.
Another wait.
His face was full of respect, but his heart was full of contempt.
Smack!
Yang Xuance finally couldn't hold back anymore. He tore off the jade ornament on his waist and smashed it in front of this person.
He shouted sternly, "Liu Huai! Are you trying to stop the royal father and son from meeting and isolate the Yang Family? "
…
