Li Changxing couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard his son say these words. He thought that his son was just studying behind closed doors and didn't know much about other things, but he didn't expect that his son could see so deeply and far. He whispered:
"Your Majesty must have some unavoidable reasons.○"
Li Mingju said: "The reason for the last resort? I don't think so. The king has always wanted to get rid of the big trouble in his heart, but doesn't he understand that there is no need to rely on external help for family affairs? Trying to use the power of outsiders to solve the internal affairs of Bohai Country is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. In the end
The result must be that the gain outweighs the loss.”
Li Changxing was horrified when he heard this and shouted: "What nonsense are you kidding?" He opened the door and looked outside in fear. When he came back, he opened the window and looked around, making sure that no one was around.
, and then he felt relieved. Although he also criticized the current leader's actions, he kept these opinions in his heart and would never dare to mention them in front of the leader. The newly appointed King of Bohai, Yan Tianzheng, wanted to eliminate the possible existence of
Hidden danger, the initial attack on his two brothers set off a bloody storm in the Bohai country. The national destiny of the Bohai country suffered a heavy blow. The current leader of the country, Yan Dongsheng, is a figure who lacks domineering and responsibility.
The subjects are not bad, but this is not a good thing for the leader of a country.
Li Mingju said: "Father, you don't have to be afraid. This is at home. I have ordered my servants not to come near this place."
Li Changxing said: "You must know that walls have ears, and trouble comes from the mouth."
Li Mingju said: "My child has made a note and will not talk nonsense outside."
Li Changxing nodded: "Your trip to the Central Plains..."
Li Mingju shook his head vigorously and said: "My child will not go! My parents are here and I will not travel far. Do you want your child to violate the teachings of the sages?"
Li Changxing said earnestly: "I'm not asking you to go against the teachings of the sages, but I want to leave a way out for our Li family in advance."
Li Mingju said: "Dad, there is no need to discuss this matter further. My child has a request. Please fulfill it."
"Say it!"
"Haier recently met a friend. He is a relative of the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai. I would like to meet the shopkeeper. I wonder if it is convenient..."
"No!" Li Changxing flatly refused.
Li Mingju asked: "Can't we just meet in person?"
Li Changxing said: "The king attaches great importance to the matter of Jubaozhai. There is already evidence that there is a connection between Jubaozhai, Yuan Tianzhao and Mangjiao Island. Mingju. You must not go into this muddy water."
Li Mingju said: "My child can not go through this muddy water, but can my father stay out of it?"
Li Changxing was speechless.
Hu Xiaotian quietly left the Li Mansion under the cover of night. When he returned to the inn, he found that Xia Changming had returned. Xia Changming smiled and said, "Where did the shopkeeper go? I'm still waiting for you to eat."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's okay to be idle when you are idle. Ask around for news."
Xia Changming asked: "How was the harvest?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Let's go eat first and chat while eating!"
Xia Changming said: "Let's go to Haiyun Tower. I just passed by there and saw that business is very good."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. The two of them left the inn together. Xia Changming asked someone to bring in the two horses he had just bought. Although they were not rare horses, they were both powerful and tall horses. Hu Xiaotian
He chose a black horse and got on it. Xia Changming rode on another bay-red horse. The two of them walked side by side along the street. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of his Flying Owl: "Changming. Where do you think the Flying Owl will stay?"
"
Xia Changming smiled and said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, they are absolutely fine."
Haiyun Building is not far from Cyclamen. It is located at the north and south ends of Tonghai Street. Haiyun Building is located in the north. When we got there, we saw a lot of traffic in front of the door. Xia Changming was thoughtful and had already reserved a seat at Haiyun Building in advance.
, otherwise they would definitely be in vain if they came here now.
The two came to the room on the second floor and sat down. Hu Xiaotian picked up the menu and looked at it, and ordered a few specialties at random. Xia Changming whispered: "Shopkeeper, did you notice that someone was following us on the way?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded. In fact, he had noticed it as soon as he walked out of the gate of Cyclamen. He secretly guessed that the people following him were most likely a few scholars who had been tricked by him. They must be unhappy, so he
Following him and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, these nerds can't make any trouble at all.
Hu Xiaotian briefly told Xia Changming what he had experienced today. Xia Changming couldn't help laughing when he heard the funny part. Hu Xiaotian's method was really superb. He would never have thought of playing tricks on others like this.
Xia Changming said: "I just went to the market today, bought a few horses according to the shopkeeper's instructions, and ordered a carriage. The carriage needs to be decorated before I can pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with him and said: "No rush, we have to stay here for a while anyway."
Xia Changming whispered: "I also tried to inquire about the news, but the people in Wanghai City are obviously very shy about Yuan Tianzhao's case. I have inquired for a whole day but I haven't heard any results."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Tomorrow I plan to go to the Tanah Lot Temple to look for the host there. Ma Qingyun once gave me some hints. The host should be an insider they installed here."
Xia Changming nodded, wondering why Hu Xiaotian didn't ask him to go with him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "We'd better work separately here, I'm in the light and you are in the dark."
Xia Changming said: "I just can't figure it out yet. Where does the shopkeeper plan to start?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yan Tianlu and Hu Zhongyang will also come to Wanghai City soon. Once we meet them, everything will be easy. What we have to do now is to understand the situation here first and not fight an uncertain battle.
."
Xia Changming nodded and said: "According to the schedule, Yan Tianlu should have arrived here, but he will definitely not appear in public. With his identity, there must be many subordinates in Bohai Country, and we may not be able to contact him."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The purpose of his coming here is to rescue their second boss Ling Sanniang. Ling Sanniang has been lurking in Wanghai City doing business. She is a very famous figure. As long as we follow this clue to find Ling Sanniang
My subordinates won’t have to worry about finding Yan Tianlu.”
The two finished dinner quickly. Hu Xiaotian asked Xia Changming to live in another inn temporarily. Xia Changming simply stayed at Tingchao Inn next to Haiyun Building. Hu Xiaotian left Haiyun Building alone. Xia Changming reminded him: "The shopkeeper.
Still have to be more careful.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly, got on his horse and walked slowly towards Xian Ke Lai.
When the horse was walking, he suddenly saw a carriage rushing up diagonally and rushing towards him. Hu Xiaotian reined in the horse's reins and stood proudly in the middle of the street, looking at the carriage coldly. The big man driving it was still far away from him.
He restrained the two horses at a distance of ten feet and shouted: "Damn it! Don't you have eyes? How dare you block my way?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you have a good reputation. This street does not belong to your family. Why can you walk on it but I can't?"
The big man Jiejie smiled strangely, and when the car curtain moved, six strong men jumped out of the car. They all glared at Hu Xiaotian fiercely. The big man also turned over and got off the carriage, and said provocatively: "Boy, the accent doesn't sound like that.
Locals, do you want to fight?"
Hu Xiaotian actually nodded and said: "I think about it! I think about it very much! The weather has been gloomy these two days, I am in a bad mood, and my bones are itching." He turned over and got off the horse, and tied the mount to a tree trunk nearby.
"Okay, uncle, I'll help you loosen the bones!" The big man rushed towards Hu Xiaotian, raised his fist as big as a vinegar bowl and punched him hard in the face.
Hu Xiaotian's body swayed, his shadow flashed, and the big man's punch suddenly missed. He blinked hard and found that there was no one in front of him. Hu Xiaotian's voice sounded behind him: "Idiot, I'm here!"
The big man turned around hurriedly, and at the same time, his six companions gathered around him. Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly, but was not in a hurry to take action. He used the Eighteen Steps of Hide the Dog to get between the seven people. These seven people were ready.
They fought hard with fists and kicks, beating the tiger to death, but after spending a long time, they didn't even touch a piece of Hu Xiaotian's body. In the end, they were so tired that they all stood there, bowing their waists, covering their stomachs, and the leader
The big man panted: "You...don't run away if you have the guts..."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "If I hadn't run away, you would all be lying on the ground right now." His hand slowly fell on the scabbard: "I remind you, as long as I take action, you will definitely see blood!"
Most of the big men were too tired to speak. They knew that the man in front of them was definitely a master. When they saw him preparing to draw his sword, they couldn't help but feel a little scared. The big man in the lead said: "What are you afraid of if he is a Kang man? Brothers
...and...shoulder to shoulder..."
When several people were about to rush forward, they heard a deep voice coming from the darkness: "Stop all of them!" They saw a middle-aged scribe wearing a gray gown walking slowly out of the darkness.
Hu Xiaotian removed his hand from the scabbard. In fact, he had long sensed that there was someone hiding in the dark. This person was probably the one behind the scenes.
The middle-aged scribe came to Hu Xiaotian with a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, these brothers of mine are not sensible, and I will forgive you for any offence."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You are indeed ignorant. If you come out a moment later, I will wait for you to teach them a lesson."
The middle-aged scribe laughed loudly, looking at his subordinates who were as tired as dogs, and sighed in his heart that these guys were really useless, and said in a deep voice: "You guys, why don't you apologize to Hu Caidong quickly!"
Several big men apologized and left in a hurry. Hu Xiaotian looked at the middle-aged scribe with a smile and said, "It seems you know me very well."
The middle-aged scribe said: "I am Yu Wanli, and I have been operating in Fuguiwo in the east of the city."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "A rich man's nest? A gambling house or a brothel?"
Yu Wanli smiled and said: "In the gambling house, I can make a living by borrowing people's money." (To be continued...)
