Chapter 585 I'm Sorry for Lying to You

Someone who knew him came forward to persuade him, "Old Hu, those are all grudges from your previous generation. It's been more than 20 years now. You have avenged your enemies and killed them. It's time to let it go. Now..."

Before he could finish, Hu Dakuan spat in his face: "Bah! Your parents were killed, and you just let it go?"

"What else?" The person trying to persuade him was also unhappy: "There are so many officials in the world, can you kill them all? Shen Shouyan is also an official, he is here today, why don't you kill him! The emperor's own son is still here, if you have the guts, yell at him! Why are you yelling at Jingcheng? Are you bullying people who are weak?"

Seeing that he couldn't drag him away, Guo Jingcheng also said: "Old Hu, every wrong has its perpetrator! Your revenge has been taken, and it's time to let it go! Besides, there are good officials and bad officials in this world, and you can't generalize. We are in the underworld, and we have been ruffians all our lives, but Jingrui is young, he has the heart and the ability. If he can pass the exam and get the third place, our family will be very happy."

Hu Dakuan stared at him with his eyes fixed on him: "So, you have made up your mind to disown your brothers and take this road of wealth and fame?"

Guo Jingcheng said in a deep voice: "This road is the right way! I don't think Jingrui did anything wrong. I would like to advise everyone present to take this road! Who wants to be a gangster all his life if he has the ability?"

He put one hand on his shoulder and said from the bottom of his heart: "Old Hu, you were unlucky to be in a bad official position, but instead of hating all bad officials, why don't you try your best, pass the military examination, and become a good official yourself, isn't it..."

"Get lost!" Hu Dakuan slapped his hand away. "Stop talking nonsense to me! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! I was blind and misjudged you! For the sake of our past friendship, I won't bother with you this time. After today, we'll be enemies!"

He turned around angrily, kicked the table next to him and broke it, then walked away angrily.

Guo Jingcheng looked sullen and did not chase after him. He just asked someone to take the broken table down.

The man who spoke earlier couldn't help but continue, "Jingcheng, no wonder the old people always say that you can't tell a person's character until he gets into trouble. This Hu Dakuan, I thought he was a straightforward and righteous man, but look at him... he remembers grudges but not kindness!! Your family has been taking care of him for so many years, and your father has been so kind to him, but when he got angry, his eyes didn't even turn red! It's as if someone owed him something!"

Guo Jingcheng glanced at Xinbao, with a lot to say but couldn't, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The young man who was reading had been listening quietly, as if thinking about something. Then he looked up and interrupted, "Jingcheng, when Brother Lu mentioned Shen Shouyan, he didn't respond. When he mentioned the emperor's son, he didn't respond either. He hates officials so much but doesn't dare to do anything to them... For so many years, apart from drinking and making trouble, he hasn't done anything like robbing the rich to help the poor or killing corrupt officials. Could it be that he is venting his hatred on you? You are all grown up, not just three or two years old. Could it be that you are still here, you are nice to me, and you have to hate what I hate, otherwise we will break up, this set of tactics?"

This young man seemed to have some status. When he spoke, everyone responded in unison.

Someone said: "This is purely due to being spoiled. If others don't spoil him, he won't dare to say anything. Jingcheng treats him as a brother, and he will make trouble with a snort."

"That's right! Jingcheng, don't pay any attention to him. Didn't he say he wanted to break up with us? When he hits a wall in the underworld, who will he turn to for help?"

"If he really went to find Shen Shouyan, I would have looked up to him, but he is clearly a bully with a gun in his pocket!"

"After so many years, to be honest, the pain has faded, but he always mentions his parents. It's really painful. He doesn't talk about them every day!"

Everyone was talking at once.

Hu Dakuan, who was standing at the corner, just waiting for Guo Jingcheng to come over to explain and comfort him, heard every word. He was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly and walked away after a long while.

Guo Jingcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then sat back down and said to Yuan Shenjue, "Old Hu...his father knew my father, and later his parents got into trouble, leaving him alone. He was only seven years old at the time, with no one to take care of him, so my father took him in. He lived in my house until he was fifteen, before he was taken away by his father's senior brother..."

Yuan Shenjue just nodded: "A little bit of kindness, a big bit of hatred, you don't have to be too sad."

Guo Jingcheng didn't know what else to say.

After all, when Hu Dakuan became successful in martial arts and went looking for his enemies, they also helped him... But he didn't mention it, and it was difficult for him to explain, and he didn't know what to explain.

After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and spoke to the young man who was reading a book next to him: "I really didn't expect you to come."

The young man said, "I happened to be passing by here on business, and when I heard about this, I turned around."

He paused and said, "Your house is really lively today. Jingrui is a capable person."

"Yes," Guo Jingcheng said, "I really didn't expect it beforehand. He took the exam secretly and didn't tell anyone. Later, when he passed the provincial exam, my father was surprised..."

As the two were chatting, Xinbao couldn't help but look back, and then look again.

Guo Jingcheng noticed it, and suddenly something came to his mind. He smiled and said to the others, "You don't know him, do you? Brother Gu is also good at medicine, especially at treating external injuries. He is known as the Life-Changing Cat Demon."

When he heard the word "also", the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, then put down the book and bowed to the three people: "Gu Banmei, you are polite."

Yuan Shen Jue and the others also stood up to return the greeting and glanced at him.

His eyes are actually fox eyes. The inner corners of his eyes are very sharp and slightly hooked. However, because they are big and clear, and the color of the pupils is slightly lighter, they look more like cat's pupils. No wonder he is called a cat demon.

Xinbao asked: "Why do you want to change your life?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Guo Jingcheng was obviously waiting for this, and explained with a smile: "Because Brother Gu's health is not good, every time he treats someone's injury, he is exhausted. It is like exchanging his life for another's, so he is called the Life-Swapping Cat Demon. It's a pity that a doctor can't heal himself..."

Xinbao glanced at him secretly again.

Gu Banmei raised his head, looked at her and smiled faintly.

When their eyes met, Xinbao was suddenly stunned.

The San Sheng Stone in my mind suddenly grew larger, and was surrounded by clouds and mist.

The next moment, she stepped into the wilderness. She knelt in a pool of blood, exhausted and in pain. The blood blurred her eyes. The figure in front of her was already covered in blood, but was still fighting hard... She shouted at the top of her lungs: "Although Yan Zeti is my enemy, he is a good emperor, but you are not even human! You are worse than beasts!"

He used up his last bit of strength to stab the sword into the other person's body, but he was also hit by the sword. He looked at her and murmured, "I'm sorry, Xiao Huan'er, I lied to you. The person you are looking for is me, but don't worry..."

He died before he could finish his words.

Xinbao's eyes opened wide.

In her subconscious, she knew that what he said just now was very important.

But at this moment, she was completely overwhelmed by the situation before her and couldn't think at all.

That "Yan Shihuan" was extremely shocked and in pain, separated from his loved ones by death; and this "Xinbao" was wondering hard what his unfinished words were, which seemed very important, so important that they could not be ignored.
