Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "How come you are such a smart brother and do such a stupid thing? Please give me a piece of advice to brother, never let your achievements overwhelm your master. Although brother has good intentions, it will be very bad if he is misunderstood by others."
Ma Qingyun said: "Your Majesty always does things in a measured way, but I will definitely bring it to you if Mr. Hu says it."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. At this time, Liang Dazhuang came over to serve tea. He took the tea cup and took a sip: "Master Ma, coming here this time is not just as simple as greeting me, right?"
Ma Qingyun smiled and said: "I followed the prince's order to come here for a visit, and to give Mr. Hu a little special gift." He presented a scroll he had brought.
Hu Xiaotian reached out to take it, unfolded the scroll, and saw a graceful beauty painted on the scroll. Hu Xiaotian had seen this painting before in the Foxiao Tower of Prince Yan's Mansion, and the beauty in the painting was none other than Huo Xiaoru. Prince Yan asked people to
What does it mean to send a portrait of Huo Xiaoru to him all the way? Hu Xiaotian thought of the last time Huo Xiaoru assassinated King Yan, and later he rescued her from King Yan's palace. However, in order to rescue Huo Xiaoru, he also paid a lot of money.
Small price.
Thinking of Huo Xiaoru, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart. There had been no news from Huo Xiaoru since Yongdu. Looking at Huo Xiaoru in the portrait, he seemed to see Huo Xiaoru standing among the flowers, looking back with a sweet smile that made the flowers lose their color.
Thinking of Huo Xiaoru's peerless grace, I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat.
Ma Qingyun quietly observed the changes in Hu Xiaotian's expression. People's feelings cannot be hidden in many cases. Even as advanced as Hu Xiaotian, there are times when his true feelings are revealed. Ma Qingyun admires King Yan's decision more and more. If it were anyone else, he would not be able to lie to others.
To solve the immediate problem.
Hu Xiaotian rolled up the portrait again and put it away, and said calmly: "Master Ma is here to tell me the news about Miss Huo?"
Ma Qingyun said: "Miss Huo is in Bohai Country and is currently in trouble."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Ma Qingyun and said, "Why didn't she tell me herself when she was in trouble, instead of going through you?"
Ma Qingyun smiled and said: "Master Hu may not know the relationship between Miss Huo and the prince. Last time, the prince wanted to kill Miss Huo, but later he found out that Miss Huo was the daughter of an old friend. Someone deliberately slandered the prince and killed her parents.
.That’s why Miss Huo did the thing of assassinating the prince.”
Hu Xiaotian had long felt that Xue Shengjing was too cooperative in releasing Huo Xiaoru. Considering Xue Shengjing's character, he should be vengeful, and Huo Xiaoru almost killed him. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. Neither Xue Shengjing nor Huo Xiaoru has done anything to him.
Tell the truth.
Ma Qingyun said: "The prince also entrusted me to send a letter to Mr. Hu." At this time, he took the letter out of his arms and handed it over respectfully.
Hu Xiaotian first looked at the envelope and made sure that the paint mark on the top had not been touched before opening the letter. There were only three names written on the letter: Li Tianheng, Li Wuyou, and Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little confused at first glance. What does Li Tianheng and Li Wuyou have to do with this matter? Li Tianheng almost became his father-in-law, and Li Wuyou was his fiancée who was once engaged to him. Could it be that their affairs with Bohai Country were related to
Related? No, Xichuan is so far away from Bohai State. Li Tianheng's instigation of political changes in Bohai State will not be of great benefit to him. Xue Shengjing asked Ma Qingyun to send these three names all the way here for no purpose.
Hu Xiaotian thought silently, regardless of the relationship between the Li family and his daughter, judging from these two names alone, their relationship was that of father and daughter. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian suddenly became enlightened, and was immediately shocked by his own thoughts. Oh my God
Is Xue Shengjing hinting to himself that he and Huo Xiaoru have a father-daughter relationship?
The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more likely it became. No wonder Xue Shengjing let go of a dancer who murdered him. No wonder Huo Xiaoru was tight-lipped about what happened in Prince Yan's Mansion and even chose to leave without saying goodbye, but Xue Shengjing knew her whereabouts well. But write the names of Li Tianheng and his daughter.
, what does it mean to add his own name? He thought secretly in his heart, Xue Shengjing should be hinting that he and himself might establish the same relationship as he had with Li Tianheng in the past, wouldn't it be tantamount to promising to marry his daughter to him?
Ma Qingyun said: "Does Master Hu have anything you want me to take back?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Please help me reply to my brother, just to say that I understand."
Ma Qingyun smiled brightly and said: "I will definitely bring Master Hu's words to you." He cupped his hands to Hu Xiaotian and said: "Farewell"
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "I won't send it away."
After Ma Qingyun left, Hu Xiaotian fell into deep thought. Xue Shengjing and Huo Xiaoru were most likely to have a father-daughter relationship. What should be certain was that Huo Xiaoru encountered a lot of trouble. This trouble was probably caused by Xue Shengjing.
Why don't you want to take action personally? There must be a last resort in this. There should be an internal problem in Dayong.
While Hu Xiaotian was meditating, a visitor arrived from Mangjiao Island. The person who came this time was Yang Zongtong, the law enforcement elder. In fact, when Hu Xiaotian left Mangjiao Island, Yang Zongtong came to Dongliang County on the order of the island owner Yan Tianlu. Although Yan
The news of Xuan Ming's safe release has reached Mangjiao Island, but Yan Tianlu had to witness with his own eyes that his son was fine. Only then would he give Hu Xiaotian's group of soldiers a release. Also returning with Yang Zongtong was Hu Zhongyang.
Yang Zongtong had already met Yan Xuanming just now. Because the young master was fine, Yang Zongtong was also smiling. The first thing he said when he saw Hu Xiaotian was: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I have sent a message to the island owner. In two days at the latest, the island owner will
You will receive my message and I will respectfully send you off."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "My brothers have been harassing me on Mangjiao Island for so many days, and they have brought you a lot of trouble."
Yang Zongtong laughed loudly and said: "Master Hu is really too polite. If Master Hu hadn't acted righteously, Mangjiao Island would have been in a lot of trouble this time. The island owner said that he and Master Hu will be friends from now on."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Yang must stay for a few more days when he comes to Dongliang County this time, so that Hu can fulfill his friendship as a landlord."
Yang Zongtong said: "No, it's not that I don't want to stay, but the island owner has urgent matters and needs to go to Bohai Country. I will go to Bohai Country to meet him."
Hu Xiaotian's heart couldn't help but move when he heard what he said, but he and the gang of pirates on Mangjiao Island have not yet reached the point where they can trust each other. He smiled and said: "Since Mr. Yang has something important to do, I can't force him to stay.
In this way, after we have lunch before we leave, I will ask someone to get ready, and then I will send Mr. Yang and the Young Island Master off to their party."
Yang Zongtong smiled and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. I will go over and discuss with the young master first to see how he is preparing."
Hu Xiaotian sent Yang Zongtong out of the door. Hu Zhongyang did not leave with Yang Zongtong. He followed Hu Xiaotian back to the flower hall. Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arms, trying to pull him away.
He helped him up from the ground and sighed: "Brother Zhongyang, why are you doing this? Why are you giving me such a big gift? Isn't it like killing my brother?"
Hu Zhongyang said with a face full of shame: "Master Hu, Zhongyang has sacrificed his soldiers because of his own selfish interests. This has caused Master Hu to travel long distances and personally go into danger, which has brought you many dangers and troubles. Zhongyang is really to blame for his death. Please Hu."
Even if you chop off Zhongyang's head, Zhongyang won't complain at all."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Zhongyang, why bother mentioning the past things again? You went to sea this time for business, and you had no intention of harming me. The incident on Mangjiao Island was a pure accident and was beyond your control.
"
Hu Zhongyang said: "To be honest with you, sir, Zhongyang has been working very closely with Mangjiao Island for more than ten years, helping them resell some stolen goods and make profits from them. Most of Zhongyang's family fortune has been accumulated from this."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everything in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profit. What Brother Zhongyang did is not a wrong thing. You should get up first. I have something important to do."
I’ll discuss the matter with you.”
Hu Zhongyang was convinced that Hu Xiaotian was not angry with him because of the incident on Mangjiao Island, so he felt relieved and secretly sighed in his heart. Hu Xiaotian's mind and vision were beyond the reach of ordinary people. He must be more honest with him in the future. Faced with this
For a man of great talent and strategy, playing tricks and scheming is seeking his own death.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just heard from Mr. Yang that Yan Dao is mainly going to Bohai Country. It seems that something urgent happened there? Could it be that Yan Boguang's whereabouts has been found?" Hu Xiaotian made some insinuations, trying to get some information from Hu Zhongyang, although Hu Zhongyang
He showed fear and loyalty in front of him, but Hu Xiaotian is still not sure who Hu Zhongyang will choose to stand with in the end between Yan Tianlu and himself, or he doesn't want to choose anyone and just wants to choose between the two.
Gain benefits in time.
Hu Zhongyang said: "Master Hu, do you know the origin of Lord Yan Island?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "I have heard about it. It is said that he is the uncle of Yan Dongsheng, the current king of Bohai. Because he failed in the fight for the throne, he had no choice but to escape to Mangjiao Island."
Hu Zhongyang said: "Your Excellency, you are right. The Lord of Yan Island is indeed the biological uncle of King Yan Dongsheng of Bohai. It is rumored that he failed in his bid for the throne. In fact, it was not the case. It was Yan Tianzheng, the previous king of Bohai, who knew that his time was coming and passed the throne to his son Yan Dongsheng."
, but he was worried that Yan Dongsheng could not control his imperial uncles, so he killed several brothers before he died. Two princes got the news in advance and escaped, one is the Lord of Yan Island, and the other is now in the
Xichuan Tianlang Mountain is also home to the powerful overlord Yan Kui."
I feel a little better today. I woke up in the afternoon and coded a chapter. I will continue coding in the evening and try to write at least one more update. Thank you brothers for your understanding. Octopus will work hard to continue.
