Yan Tianlu quietly looked at the stranger in front of him. This person should be one of the soldiers of the Dakang Navy who had just returned to Mangjiao Island with the supply ship. After examining it for a moment, he whispered: "You are..."
"My Excellency, Yang Yuanqing, is the deputy commander of Mr. Hu's fleet for this expedition."
Yan Tianlu's eyes were full of suspicion: "It turns out to be General Yang. I wonder why you came to see me?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and presented a letter and said: "I have been entrusted by someone to send a letter to the Lord of Yan Island to personally express it."
Yan Tianlu nodded, reached out to take the letter, opened it in front of Yang Yuanqing, unfolded the letter, and found a strand of red hair hidden in it. Yan Tianlu's eyes suddenly widened, he pursed his lips, and suppressed his inner feelings.
I read the letter with excitement, then twirled the strand of red hair and read it carefully for a while, and finally my eyes returned to Yang Yuanqing's face: "Are you from the Dakang court?"
Yang Yuanqing clasped his fists and said, "The emperor can guarantee Yan Xuanming's life, but she has to exchange one life for another."
Yan Tianlu stood up, his majestic body carrying an innate pressure of a king. Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel his breath suffocating, and his eyes did not dare to look directly at Yan Tianlu, and quietly dropped down.
Yan Tianlu said: "I never thought there would be a traitor like you around Hu Xiaotian!"
Yang Yuanqing said: "What is loyalty and traitor? Yang earns a salary from Dakang and is loyal to Emperor Dakang. Apart from the emperor, Yang will not be loyal to anyone else!"
Yan Tianlu sneered. He raised the letter in his hand and said, "How can I believe your words? How do I know that you will definitely fulfill your promise?"
Yang Yuanqing said: "Island owner, please forgive me, you don't seem to have any other choice."
Yan Tianlu threw the letter aside and said disdainfully: "Hu Xiaotian also promised me that he has sent people to rescue Yan Xuanming, and there will be news in the next two days."
Yang Yuanqing said: "His words will not have any effect in Kangdu. Island Master Yan is concerned about the safety of his beloved son, so he will inevitably make the mistake of seeking medical treatment in a hurry. The island owner may not know that Hu Xiaotian and the emperor have always been at odds.
This time it was the emperor who ordered the investigation of Yan Xuanming's case. No one except the emperor could save Yan Xuanming. And the person Hu Xiaotian sent to find Princess Yongyang this time was Princess Yongyang. If the island owner is willing to risk all Yan Xuanming's wealth and life,
I have nothing to say if I put my money on the princess."
Yan Tianlu looked at the strand of red hair in his hand, hesitant in his heart.
Yang Yuanqing said: "Even if you cooperate, you must choose someone who can help you. If everything goes well with Hu Xiaotian, news of Yan Xuanming's release will come soon, and the emperor will turn a blind eye to it for the time being.
Hu Xiaotian would think that this was done, but he was totally wrong. The reason why the Emperor allowed Princess Yongyang to release Yan Xuanming was just to paralyze them, so that the island owner could take advantage of this opportunity to attack Hu Xiaotian."
Yan Tianlu secretly scolded Yang Yuanqing for being cunning and cunning. But he also understood that the mastermind of this matter was Emperor Dakang.
Yang Yuanqing said: "If the island owner wants the emperor to remain indifferent to this, then it depends on what the island owner does next."
Yan Tianlu said coldly: "After I help him do this, what good will I get?"
Yang Yuanqing said: "Yan Xuanming's life is safe, and the emperor can guarantee that he will be reinstated. The emperor also promised that the island owner will never invade Mangjiao Island as long as he is alive."
The seemingly tempting conditions made Yan Tianlu feel sick, so he invaded the Mangjiao Island? With Dakang's current strength, what ability does he have to invade the Mangjiao Island? He whispered: "If you are sincere, send my son here.
Python Island. I will try to catch Hu Xiaotian and pay for it with his life!"
Xia Changming arrived at Mangjiao Island at dusk. He brought the news of Yan Xuanming's release. Hu Xiaotian was convinced that Yan Xuanming had been taken away from the Ministry of Punishment by Qiqi and was currently settled in the Yongyang Palace. He breathed a sigh of relief and brought
Qiqi sent his personal reply to Yan Tianlu.
Yan Tianlu had been waiting for this news. After hearing what Hu Xiaotian said, he frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Of course I am sure, this is an autograph letter written by Princess Yongyang to me. If Lord Yan doesn't believe it, you can read it in person. Now Yan Xuanming has been temporarily placed in Yongyang Mansion, under the protection of the princess, his
Safety can definitely be guaranteed." This matter obviously went much smoother than Hu Xiaotian expected.
Yan Tianlu took the letter from Hu Xiaotian and read it from beginning to end. He was convinced that his son was fine for the time being, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Island owner, don't worry, Her Royal Highness the Princess has promised that when the situation eases, she will arrange for Yan Xuanming to leave the capital, and then you and your son can be reunited."
Yan Tianlu nodded and said, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I didn't expect it either."
Yan Tianlu said: "In a few days, when the tide rises, Lord Hu's fleet will be able to get out of trouble, and you can return to Dongliang County."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thanks to Island Master Yan for helping us this time, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
Yan Tianlu glanced at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Yes, you are indeed in big trouble!"
Hu Xiaotian heard something in his words, and he suddenly felt alarmed in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Does the island owner have something to say?"
Yan Tianlu stood up slowly, took two steps closer to Hu Xiaotian, stared into his eyes and said, "Someone wants me to kill you!"
Hu Xiaotian felt a fierce murderous intention surrounding him from all directions. His heart sank, but on the outside he remained calm. He looked at Yan Tianlu quietly and said, "Island owner agreed?"
Yan Tianlu said: "I agreed! But you must do things that you have not promised!" He handed over the letter that Yang Yuanqing gave him: "You will understand after reading it."
Hu Xiaotian took the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end. When he read the letter, cold sweat broke out on his back. He had thought that this matter went too smoothly before, but he did not expect that there was something behind it.
With so many conspiracies hidden, Qi Qi was obviously kept in the dark. The old emperor played a trick of mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. If Yan Tianlu hadn't taken the initiative to reveal the truth about this matter, he would have thought it was the case.
It has been done, so carelessness is unavoidable. In this situation, if Yan Tianlu plots against him, there is a high probability that he will succeed.
Yan Tianlu stretched out his palm and patted his shoulder gently and said, "Boy, you don't know people well!" He returned to his seat and sat down.
Hu Xiaotian's expression was more serious than ever before. There was obviously a traitor in his team. It should have been since he left Dongliang County that his every move was under the control of the court. He suddenly remembered the man in Dongliang County who pretended to be him.
I am afraid that Long Xuanen will know everything clearly. Hu Xiaotian quickly checked the suspicious person in his mind. The face of this person gradually became clear in his mind: "Yang Yuanqing?"
Yan Tianlu nodded.
Hu Xiaotian came and sat down opposite Yan Tianlu. The expression on his face was still calm. He looked at Yan Tianlu with a meaningful smile on his lips: "Why did the island owner tell me these things? Are you not afraid of Long Xuanen's confrontation with Yan Xuanming?"
unfavorable?"
Yan Tianlu said: "Princess Yongyang is your fiancée. If I kill you, I will not only offend her, but also offend tens of thousands of your subordinates. If Navy Yongjiang comes to Mangjiao Island to seek revenge at all costs, I will not do it either."
I am sure of winning. What’s more, I have always been a person who keeps my promises. Since I promised to cooperate with you, I will not go back on my word."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said nothing, but he understood in his heart that the reason why Yan Tianlu gave up on framing him was actually the result of weighing the pros and cons. He whispered: "Long Xuanen is a cunning and insidious person who does things unscrupulously and has no faith. Even if you do what he says, you can do it."
Even if he does, he may not be willing to fulfill his promise in the end!”
Yan Tianlu said: "This is not a problem. I can catch you first and then use you to exchange for my son's safety."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does the island owner think it can be successful?"
Yan Tianlu sighed and said: "I did have thoughts on this at the beginning, but after thinking about it, with your martial arts and mind, I am not sure. If I kill you, it will be equivalent to killing Long Xuan.
I don’t have any conditions to exchange with him for his kindness. I hate others threatening me the most in my life!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. Your young master's secrets are not kept well. Long Xuanen can use him to blackmail you to kill me now, and he can use him to blackmail you to do other things next time."
matter."
Yan Tianlu nodded and said, "Because of this, I gave up the idea of helping him frame you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The person is in the hands of Princess Yongyang, I can guarantee his safety!"
Yan Tianlu's eyes were blazing: "I hope you are worthy of my trust."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that you and I have to put on a good show together to make everyone think that you have taken action against me and that you have to use my life to exchange for Yan Xuanming's safety!"
Yan Tianlu said: "Tonight I will hold a celebration banquet, I will poison the wine, capture you and your subordinates and put them in prison. Then, on the condition of your lives, Yang Yuanqing will inform Kangdu and let
They released my son, and I will eradicate you only if they are sure that my son is safe!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I must leave tonight, return to Kangdu immediately, and rescue Yan Xuanming personally."
Yan Tianlu said: "Can you make it in time?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't forget, Xia Changming owns two snow sculptures."
Yan Tianlu said: "Will you lie to me?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Compared to Long Xuanen, I am more trustworthy!"
Yan Tianlu said: "If there is anything wrong with my son, all the thousands of people under your command will be buried for him!"
Hu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to Yan Tianlu: "As long as Long Xuanen thinks that I am still imprisoned by you on Mangjiao Island, then your son will naturally be safe and sound!" (To be continued.)
