Huangfu Zhong didn't think he was stupid and analyzed it for him: "You know the relationship between Shi Zairong and Huangfu Huijue. If I hadn't been careful and eavesdropped on him while he was talking to his men, I really wouldn't have known that this person actually wanted to get rid of us and hand us over to the Huangfu family once the Gu worm was finished."
Although Huangfu Xiong couldn't believe what Huangfu Zhong suddenly said to him, he had made up his mind since he came out and betrayed the Huangfu family for him. No matter what Huangfu Zhong did, even if it meant murder and arson, he would follow Huangfu Zhong: "How could this be? Where should we go now?"
Huangfu Zhong looked at the bronze tripod in his arms and said, "As long as we have this queen insect in our hands, we can go anywhere. With this thing, we don't have to worry about this life or the next."
Huangfu Xiong said worriedly, "But, this is something that goes against the will of heaven and earth. I'm afraid..."
What Huangfu Zhong hated most was his timid and cowardly appearance. If he hadn't always been like this, he wouldn't have been gifted in Gu arts since childhood. However, he always felt that he was a bastard and didn't dare to compete with others. Instead, he was trampled under the feet and ridiculed by those with mediocre talents. "Afraid? If you're afraid, go back. I don't want to wait there to die. Now that I have this little darling, the Huangfu family, ah, the Huangfu family means nothing!"
Before the words fell, a leisurely chuckle came from behind the two of them: "Yes, the Huangfu family is nothing. You two are young and promising, and you really have a bright future."
Huangfu Zhong saw that the masked man who suddenly appeared behind him was probably a pursuer, so he quickly protected Huangfu Xiong behind him and asked, "Who is it?"
"Don't worry, I just heard that you two have some incredible things in your hands, and I want to see them." After saying that, several people suddenly jumped out from behind the visitor and surrounded the Huangfu brothers.
Huangfu Zhong may not be good at other things, but his ability to read people's expressions was a skill he had cultivated since childhood. Judging from the crowd's appearance, they were probably here for the item in his hand. Their words were disrespectful to the Huangfu family, and they didn't seem like Shi Zairong's people. So, there was only one possibility: "Are you from Tianshu Tower?"
The visitor saw that Huangfu Zhong was still a useful talent. With a slight wave of his right hand, the black-clothed men who had surrounded them just now disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared at all. "Brother Huangfu's vision is really sharp."
Huangfu Zhong looked back at Huangfu Xiong, who was holding his hands in fear. He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and asked, "Tianshu Tower is unwilling to be under the command of Shi Zairong. I guess your Pavilion Master wants to use the power of my two brothers?"
The visitor said with a smile, "Exactly. Now that we've come to this, I wonder if we'll be lucky enough to ask you two for help. It just so happens that we just got some good stuff, and we'd like to ask someone who's familiar with Gu worms to help us out a little bit."
Huangfu Xiong hugged Huangfu Zhong's arm tightly. He didn't want to be with Tianshu Tower. He had heard about what this group of people had done before when he was at Huangfu's house. Even though they made many sacrifices for Nanyue's attack on Liang State, this group of people were not good people.
As for Shi Zairong, although his fate might not be good, at least he was the Imperial Master and a gentleman. The worst that could happen to him was that he would be "returned" to the Huangfu family after being used. He wouldn't end up in disgrace after his death. "Brother..."
Huangfu Zhong knew that he had no way out now. He would die anyway, so he might as well go alone. Huangfu was in such a bad state that if he told others about what happened today, everyone would naturally think that he had forced him.
"I'll go with you. As for him, he's useless. I was the one who made this poisonous insect in the first place. He can't help me now, so there's no need for him to follow me and get in the way." After saying that, Huangfu Zhong snatched back the bronze tripod that he had just stuffed into Huangfu Xiong's arms, threw a large bag of gold and silver on the ground, and prepared to leave with the people from Tianshu Tower.
Huangfu Xiong looked at the gold, silver and jewels scattered on the ground and was stunned: "Brother, you..."
Huangfu Zhong looked down at him with disdain and said disdainfully, "This money is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. You can't go back to the Huangfu family. I have to thank you for helping me find the Gu worm. Anyway, you are of no use to me anymore, and there is no need to follow me anymore. You are just a burden."
When Huangfu Zhong and the people from Tianshu Tower turned to leave, Huangfu Xiong finally reacted and hurriedly chased after them. He hugged Huangfu Zhong's calf and refused to let go. "Brother, I know I'm stupid, but you promised to protect me!"
Huangfu Zhong fiercely injected several needles into Huangfu Xiong's hand, then took advantage of the numbness in his hand and kicked him aside:
"I've already told you that you're a burden. Stop following me. Are you deaf or dumb? Get out of here!"
Huangfu Xiong looked down at his hands, which had suddenly swelled up and were completely powerless, then looked at Huangfu Zhong, still in shock: "Big brother..."
"Get out!"
Hearing this yell, Huangfu Xiong picked up the gold, silver, and jewelry on the ground, hugged them tightly to his chest, and ran away yelling: "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The man sent by Tianshu Tower to intercept the two brothers stood behind Huangfu Zhong and clapped his hands: "Tsk tsk tsk, I never knew that the two Huangfu brothers really have such a deep brotherly love."
Huangfu Zhong looked at him coldly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
The visitor immediately stated, "Brother Huangfu, don't worry. We only want you and this bronze tripod. We don't want people like you."
Huangfu Zhong looked at Huangfu Xiong's gradually disappearing figure, then turned around and said, "...You'd better remember what you said. If anything happens to him because of your Tianshu Tower, I will make you pay a hundred times the price."
The visitor leaned slightly to the side, bowed, and said, "Look at what you're saying, Brother Huangfu. Tianshu Tower has always been a company that values its word. Brother Huangfu, please come this way. Pavilion Master Xiahou is awaiting your arrival."
…Shi Zairong was standing by with a gloomy face, watching Lianguang deal with the living dead in the dungeon. Xiao Liang was quick, and soon returned with useful information: "Grandmaster, we've found Huangfu Xiong!"
Shi Zairong was stunned. When did Xiao Liang become so efficient? How did Xie Zhuangshui train him? Happiness came so suddenly that she was a little overwhelmed. "So fast!"
Xiao Liang hurriedly explained honestly: "Huangfu Xiong ran back by himself."
In fact, when they first said they wanted to look for someone, they had no direction and could only assign people to look in various possible directions.
