41: There is a ghost in Wang's house
But when Liu Long saw that the great master had arrived, he jumped up reflexively, stood behind Han Huohuo with his head down, and looked a little flustered. Gou San was startled, didn't understand the situation, and quickly followed suit and stood up.
As soon as Wang Zizhong entered, being knowledgeable, he immediately recognized who was the Boss and who were the followers.
He recognized Hua Mulan and knew that she was the Barbarian King's beloved General, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect her, but who was this young man sitting so calmly?
Although the young man was also dressed in rags, his temperament was clearly different. At first glance, he was the kind of person who had been in a high position for a long time, giving orders.
"Oh, General Hua, what a rare guest. Why are you free today and back at our Wang family? Could it be that there's a clue about that treasure?"
Hua Mulan sneered, "Are you so poorly informed? Don't you know that I suffered a defeat in the Ten Thousand Mountains, didn't find the item, and my troops were wiped out? That's why I fled back here to you. What, you don't welcome a defeated General like me?"
Wang Zizhong looked serious, "How could I dare? This is not the General's fault. There are quite a few hidden bandits in the Ten Thousand Mountains. I heard that even the Grand Commandant suffered a great loss there. That cursed place has high mountains and dense forests, it's difficult!"
Seeing that Hua Mulan didn't speak, Wang Zizhong cautiously asked, "How should I address this young brother?"
Hua Mulan glanced at Han Huohuo, thinking about what identity would be best to arrange for him.
Han Huohuo suddenly smiled and introduced himself, "Haven't you heard of Fire Barbarian God? That's right, I am the famous Fire Barbarian God, the sworn brother of the Barbarian King. I just happened to save General Hua on the way and came here with her to take a look. I always heard the Barbarian King talk about you, and I thought you were some important figure, but why are you so impolite?"
Han Huohuo looked at Wang Zizhong mockingly. Wang Zizhong's heart pounded. He had never heard of this Fire Barbarian God. Could he be very famous among the Barbarians?
But looking at his physique, he was quite strong among humans, but how did he look like a Barbarian?
Seeing Han Huohuo's arrogant tone, he was both surprised and uncertain, but he didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "I've long admired you, I've long admired you. May I ask, Lord Fire Barbarian God, why do you say I am impolite?"
Hua Mulan was so awkward that she could dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room with her feet. This guy opened his mouth and said he was the Barbarian King's brother, which was too much, but she couldn't expose him, so she could only endure it.
Seeing that Hua Mulan didn't deny it, Wang Zizhong became even more nervous, thinking that a big figure from the Barbarians might have really come. Seeing General Hua's respectful attitude, it didn't seem fake.
Han Huohuo naturally knew that people are like this; sometimes the more outrageous the lie, the more others dare not disbelieve it, because the cost of disbelief is very high.
Han Huohuo said seriously, "General Hua and I fled in embarrassment in the Ten Thousand Mountains. This journey has been so arduous. I heard from Brother Barbarian King that your family is generous and hospitable, and has trade relations with him all year round. Since we've already come, why don't you let us wash up and have a big meal to fill our stomachs? Is it possible that your large Wang family is out of money?"
Wang Zizhong laughed loudly, "So it was just a small matter like this. It was my neglect. I will arrange it right away!"
He slapped the table!
"Wang Ming, quickly arrange for someone to take a few distinguished guests to wash up and change into clean clothes. Prepare lunch immediately. Today, our Wang family will feast the distinguished guests!"
"Yes, Master. Please, everyone!"
Gou San's eyes were full of admiration as he looked at his Lord. My Boss is indeed different. He arranged everything in just a few words.
Soon, maids and servants came and took the few people to bathe and change clothes first.
Wang Zizhong saw Han Huohuo swaggering at the front, with Hua Mulan only able to follow behind him. The other two looked like followers and only dared to walk at the back.
Is this person really the Barbarian King's brother? There was a sharp glint in his eyes; he didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed a little flustered.
I love taking a bath, blowing bubbles...
This was the first bath Han Huohuo had taken in seven days, and it was comfortable. After the bath, the bathtub was like mud. After all, the Wang family was a wealthy family, and new clothes were quickly prepared, which was a loose robe.
Damn it, this broken robe was wide and loose, making him look decent, but it was not convenient for movement at all. Han Huohuo tied his pant legs tightly, found a rope to tighten his waist, and tore off a piece of the sleeve cuff of his upper garment.
Ensuring that these clothes would not affect his movements.
The servants of the Wang family pursed their lips and smiled. That's right, this guy must be a Barbarian, otherwise, why would he have to make a perfectly good piece of clothing look like this?
After the few people finished bathing, they gathered together again.
As soon as Han Huohuo and Hua Mulan met, they were surprised to find that the other person was the same as themselves? They had all changed their long robes into short outfits.
Now it was even harder to explain; Han Huohuo was definitely a Barbarian.
Gou San and Liu Long were wearing the short outfits of servants. Old Master Wang recognized at a glance that these two people were not meant for polite society.
The wealthier the family, the more rules they have. It is impossible to prepare the same clothes for masters and servants.
Wang Zizhong saw Hua Mulan and Han Huohuo walking side by side, and seeing that their method of modifying their clothes was almost identical, he couldn't help but believe that these two really came from the Barbarian King.
Although Han Huohuo was young, his physique was indeed tall, just a little fair-skinned and tender, but if he was a Barbarian noble, it was barely acceptable.
Not to mention Wang Zizhong, even Hua Mulan began to be surprised and uncertain, wondering if her Lord was really the Barbarian King's biological brother by a different father and mother?
Although the people outside were suffering, it didn't affect the richness of this lunch at all. There was plenty of fish and meat, seafood and mountain delicacies, everything was available.
Although Hua Mulan was a Barbarian, she was still somewhat particular. Han Huohuo was not particular at all. It was hard to have a big meal, so he gobbled it down.
Wang Zizhong, however, became more and more surprised as he watched. Many people had never seen so many delicacies, but Han Huohuo was clearly different. He completely knew how to eat each kind of food, how to debone it. Although he looked messy, he was as skilled as if he ate it every day.
Really!
This is probably not the Barbarian King's sworn brother! This must be the Barbarian King's biological brother!
Sweat dripped from his forehead.
Han Huohuo just looked up, "Huh, is it very hot? Why are you sweating?"
Wang Zizhong's face was pale, and he wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "Lord Fire Barbarian God is joking. Winter is coming soon, how can it be hot? I'm just a little weak, a little weak."
Han Huohuo laughed loudly, "Haha, I understand, too many women."
Everyone laughed together.
There was something different in Han Huohuo's eyes as he stared at Wang Zizhong, then he glanced at Hua Mulan. Hua Mulan also seemed to have noticed something and returned a look to Han Huohuo, indicating that she understood.
The host and guests enjoyed themselves.
Wang Zizhong arranged for them to go down and rest.
Han Huohuo was taken to a guest room. Before he could rest, there was a sneaky knock on the door.
When he opened the door, Han Huohuo was startled.
A masked man in black stood in front of his door, followed by Gou San and Liu Long.
Han Huohuo quickly let the three people in.
He recognized at a glance that the masked man in black was Hua Mulan.
"What are you doing?"
Hua Mulan took out another set of clothes and threw them to Han Huohuo, "Put them on quickly. I suddenly found something wrong with the Wang family. Let's go and investigate."
Han Huohuo was speechless. This young lady was really a woman of action. He had only given her a look, and before he could rest, she immediately wanted to take action. She didn't waste any time.
Han Huohuo changed his clothes directly in front of several people, without any shyness. Hua Mulan naturally saw the Golden Silk Armor in Han Huohuo's underwear and the Ice Dagger he hid in his arms, and was surprised.
Her Lord has many secrets!
And he hides such treasures?
"You two don't need to go. Take the money to buy some clothes and cloth, then hire a carriage, and quickly take these things back to the camp. Be fast, understand?"
Han Huohuo gave Liu Long a large handful of gold coins. Liu Long nodded repeatedly, took the money bag, and took Gou San, quietly slipping out from the back door. He was very familiar with the Wang family, and sneaking out was not difficult for him at all.
Hua Mulan and Han Huohuo were both wearing masked black clothes.
They were going to gather intelligence in broad daylight.
Han Huohuo was speechless. This girl really dared to think. Shouldn't these clothes be worn out in the middle of the night? Wearing black clothes in broad daylight, are you afraid that others won't see assassins?
