Chapter 387(1/2)

The people who want to meet Du Yong are naturally barefoot old ghosts, because Du Yong has only one sworn brother.

I haven't seen each other for many days, and the old barefoot ghost has changed a lot.

He used to be unkempt, but now he has cleaned his face and his hair is meticulously combed.

He used to wear casually, but now he is very luxurious, just like a grandfather. His clothes almost drooped to the ground, covering his signature big feet, revealing only a piece of brand new deer leather boots.

Overall, he looks like a nouveau riche, but he is still very imposing and his skills should be improved.

"Ghost Brother!"

Du Yong quickly greeted him and hugged the barefoot old ghost enthusiastically.

"Brother Du!"

The barefoot old ghost laughed, then greeted Yang Jin and others.

After a greeting, the barefoot old ghost sighed: "I didn't expect that just so much time has passed, you took back Huaili City, and you are still as solid as a god."

Du Yong had a bitter face: "It's not as solid as a soup, it's a headache!"

The barefoot old ghost said curiously: "The city wall has been raised so much, there are many defenders, and the combat power is very good, and it is quite responsible. What else do you have to worry about?"

Du Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry about those, we brothers haven't seen each other for many days, so we have to have a few drinks."

"That's right!"

The barefoot old ghost was not confused, turned to the guards at the city gate and said proudly: "I told you that I am Du Yong's sworn brother, should I believe it now?"

The guards didn't mind either, and nodded with a smile, then asked Du Yong: "Sir Du, what is your sworn brother called?"

Du Yong said happily: "Call him, Master Ghost, he is a rare master!"

"Ghost Master!"

The guards bowed and greeted him respectfully.

The barefoot old ghost returned the gift and chuckled, "Hello!"

Say goodbye to the guards and walk home.

The barefoot old ghost asked casually: "Brother, did you get the title because of taking back the credit for Huaili City?"

Du Yong said lightly: "The credit is actually very difficult. I took the initiative to ask for the title. Fortunately, Your Majesty is generous."

"oh?"

The barefoot old ghost was very curious and glanced at Du Yong, waiting for the following text.

Du Yong explained: "At that time, I was in the capital and I went to visit General Manager Nie with my uncle. His Majesty suddenly arrived. I originally thought that His Majesty wanted to discuss major issues with General Manager Nie, but he didn't know that he specifically asked me what reward I wanted, so I took the initiative to ask for a small title, the reason was to revive my third house in the Du family."

Who is the barefoot old ghost? I immediately understood Du Yong's profound meaning and said, "Your reason for revitalizing the third house of the Du family was said in front of the emperor and your uncle. This is to be insulated from your Du family's iron hat."

Du Yong spread his hands: "It's just an iron-hat marquis, not a prince, what's there to argue about?"

The barefoot old ghost stared at Du Yong and suddenly asked, "The Du family has had internal strife because of the iron hat?"

Du Yong sneered: "It's all your business!"

"Hey!"

The barefoot old ghost showed a smile on his chest and raised his hand to surrender: "Since you are inconvenient to say it, I don't ask."

After saying that, he looked away and observed the streets casually.

The city was originally very empty, but because more than 2,000 new people were brought in, it was still lively.

Although these people had Du Yong to provide food, they were not idle. Instead, they took the initiative to do things within their ability, either helping the soldiers improve their defense facilities or helping build houses in the south of the city.

The barefoot old ghost said, "When Mu Feixiong occupied Huaili, there were almost no ordinary people inside and outside the city. I didn't expect that you would be coaxed back so much by you just in such a short time. What did you do?"

Du Yong rubbed his fingers and said, "Silver, I support these 2,000 ordinary people in the city now."

The barefoot old ghost was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh: "You guy, you are so brave. You can raise so many people and the censor can just write to you more than a dozen books."

Du Yong smiled bitterly and said, "County Magistrate Nie Wentao is my old boss. Can I not take it seriously when he asks me to come? Moreover, these more than 2,000 people are the first to return. Even if it is difficult, they have to stay. I don't care about the censor's part, and they don't want to care about it. They can participate if they want to. Can they still go to jail, and at most they will be exempted from my title."

The barefoot old ghost gave a thumbs up.

Yang Jin changed the topic: "Brother Ghost, look at your outfit, you have been doing well recently!"

The barefoot old ghost said proudly: "I have done a big business recently, so I am quite affordable. With this outfit, I spent dozens of taels."

Du Yongzheng was going to ask what big business he said, but he changed his question: "Brother Gui, have you found Wei Shan?"

The barefoot old ghost raised his eyebrows: "I thought you would ask right away."

Du Yong sighed softly: "I didn't forget, I was a little afraid to ask. I was not worried about Weishan's safety, but I was afraid that he would not find his wife and children and would lose hope for his future life. He seemed careless and usually acted fiercely and was not afraid of death, but he also had weaknesses."

"Don't worry!"

The barefoot old ghost gave Du Yong a reassurance and explained: "His wife and children are not dead, and they are indeed in the hands of human traffickers. The details are difficult to describe in detail in a short period of time. In short, Weishan has reunited with his wife and children, and now he lives in a small mountain village in Qiongzhou. I have settled them before I came to Huaili County."

"Thank you, Brother Ghost!"

Du Yong bowed to the barefoot old ghost and sighed: "I finally got my wish, it was my mission."

The barefoot old ghost smiled and said, "Your mission is my mission. Wei Shan asked me to thank you and made a promise that if you have anything to help in the future, he will go through fire and water with just a call."

Du Yong shrugged: "He was so difficult to reunite with his wife and children. What did I call him to do?"

The old ghost in the family said, "Maybe you will go to Qiongzhou in the future. Weishan is still a master of climbing the tower realm. It is more than enough to help you with a siege."

"Let's talk about it!"

Du Yong ended the topic and asked again: "Didn't you say what big business you have done yet?"

"What big business can Qiongzhou do? Just steal the ancient tomb."

The barefoot old ghost spread his hands and immediately said solemnly: "I found something very strange. The court seemed to have organized a tomb robbery team. Do you know this?"

Du Yong nodded and said, "I heard someone say something by chance. I thought it was fake news."

The barefoot old ghost raised his hand and signaled Du Yong to explain in detail.

Du Yong said in a deep voice: "The battlefield in Dongzhou is like an invincible cave. No matter how rich the imperial court is, it cannot withstand the consumption. Some people proposed to send money to death and send a professional gold-touching team."

Yang Jin and Pinyuren both agreed: "We also heard about it in brothels when we returned to Beijing last time. It is said that the court hired famous tomb robbers in the world to lead the team, and I don't know if it is true."

He Laosan laughed and said, "Even if it is true, the court will not announce it. How ugly it will be if it is spread."

Dahei smiled and said, "It's just digging ancient tombs. Every year, there are a lot of people going to dig. What's the bad thing?"

Du Yong asked: "What are the famous tomb robbers in the Jianghu people?"

The barefoot old ghost said lightly: "When it comes to the leader in tomb robbery, the Lu family is the first to be promoted in the world. The Lu family has always been mysterious, but recently a successor appeared in Qiongzhou, named Lu Peifeng, and is ranked on the list of talents in the world."

Du Yong had heard of the Lu family and the name Lu Peifeng, and said curiously: "Didn't the Lu family look at Feng Shui and design mechanisms?"

The barefoot old ghost smiled and said, "There are many mechanisms in the ancient tomb. It is said that the ancestors of the Lu family practiced mechanisms to rob tombs. Later, they helped people design houses for whitewashing. Over time, they became famous as Feng Shui masters."

Du Yong nodded and silently remembered it in his heart. He would remember all kinds of rumors about the world.

This Lu family should be quite interesting, maybe they will deal with it in the future.

Yang Jin also asked curiously: "Brother Ghost, have you ever seen Lu Peifeng?"

The barefoot old ghost Surong said, "I have seen a face from afar. I am in my twenties, thin and restrained in temperament, and look like a scholar. But from my intuition, he has experienced many life and deaths, has extremely rich combat experience, can challenge more than level, and can even counterattack."

Pinyuren said, "Is that amazing?"

The barefoot old ghost said for granted: "The Lu family is a big family, and Lu Peifeng is a little bit powerful. However, compared with Brother Du, Lu Peifeng should be a little bit worse."

Du Yong waved his hand and laughed: "I will be proud of you if you praise me so much."

While talking, I returned home.

Lingling and Qingyao came up and looked at the barefoot old ghost curiously.

The barefoot old ghost also looked at the two of them curiously.

Du Yong introduced: "This is an old friend, just call me Brother Gui. This Lingling and this Qingyao."

Qingyao and Lingling were blessed at the same time and said frankly: "I have met Brother Gui!"

"Hello!"

The barefoot old ghost smiled and nodded, looked at Du Yong, and asked ambiguously: "Are they all brothers and sisters?"

Du Yong spread his hands: "You can do whatever you want."

"You boy is so lucky!"

The barefoot old ghost laughed ambiguously, then blinked his eyes again, and asked, "Who is the big one and who is the small one?"

This was a joke, and Qingyao and Lingling both cared about it, staring at Du Yong closely, wanting to hear how he answered.

Du Yong smiled bitterly and said, "They are both big and big. I dare not offend me. Every day they join forces to command, there is no sign of a lord."

Qingyao and Lingling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and turned their heads again.

Everyone saw their little movements and felt a little funny.

Since there were no restaurants in the city, Du Yong led everyone to do it and quickly got a sumptuous table of wine and food.
