Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out. Will Xue Daohong deliberately send Xue Lingjun to Bohai as an envoy during this sensitive period, thereby taking the opportunity to push her into trouble, killing two birds with one stone, and removing these two elders at the same time? If so
If the latter is the case, then there is the possibility of joining forces between himself and Xue Lingjun.
Xia Changming asked: "What did the shopkeeper gain?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I have established a connection with the people from Mangjiao Island. I estimate that Yan Tianlu will contact me in the next two days."
Xia Changming nodded: "By the way, you asked me to inquire about Yanxitang. So far, I have not heard that King Bohai has taken action against Yanxitang. Yanxitang's main business is shipping business, at least on the surface.
Everything is business as usual.”
"Have you found out who the boss of Yanxi Hall is?"
Xia Changming said: "It is said that his surname is Xiang, and his name is Xiang Shancong."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. He originally thought that the boss of Yanxi Hall was Huo Xiaoru, but now he has become an old man. Xue Shengjing really hid things deeply. Although he took the initiative to ask for help, he did too much to understand the real situation.
It seems that he has already made two preparations for concealing it. It would be best if the Bohai State cannot find Yan Xitang. If they find it, it is expected that Hu Xiaotian will not sit idly by for Huo Xiaoru's sake.
Thinking of Huo Xiaoru, Hu Xiaotian suddenly felt a little disappointed. Since Dayong's departure, Xiaoru has never contacted him again. He wonders what position he occupies in her heart? If she says that she has no self in her heart, why did she treat her so badly in Dayong?
With such endless love, if she said she had me in her heart, why did she disappear like a yellow crane after leaving, and there was no news from her again?
Hu Xiaotian is an open-minded person. Those things that are lost to him are just floating clouds in the sky, drifting away with a wave of his hand. Although the reason for his coming to Bohai Country this time is Xue Shengjing and for Huo Xiaoru, he still has
A more important mission, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to come to Bohai Country. To expand his influence in Bohai Country, helping Xue Shengjing is actually helping himself. He wants to establish a strong opponent for Xue Daohong in Dayong Country.
To conquer the powerful Dayong in a short period of time, strength alone is not enough. Only when Dayong is divided from within can he take advantage of it.
Xia Changming added: "Yanxi Hall does not have a branch in Wanghai City. The main hall is in Jeju, which is more than two hundred miles away from here."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Changming, you'd better go to Jeju yourself and help me check the situation there."
Xia Changming said: "I'm getting ready to go."
Hu Xiaotian found a painting from his luggage and handed it to Xia Changming and said, "When you get there, give this painting to Xiang Shancong. He should understand it when he sees it." This painting was hand-painted by Hu Xiaotian himself.
The portrait, the protagonist of the portrait is of course Huo Xiaoru.
Later that day, Yu Wanli also brought two pieces of news to Hu Xiaotian. One was that Princess Xue Lingjun of Dayong had arrived, and the other was that Dayong’s special envoy Li Chenzhou also arrived at Wanghai City today.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be a little confused. Xue Lingjun came here under the banner of promoting the friendship between the two countries, and why did Li Chenzhou come? Thinking of the relationship between Li Chenzhou and Xue Daohong, the new king of Dayong, it is not difficult to guess that Li Chenzhou should have come here to carry out Xue Daohong's plan.
Purpose, from this point of view, Xue Lingjun did not come on behalf of Xue Daohong's interests, which means that Xue Lingjun's appearance in Bohai Kingdom was probably intentional by Xue Daohong.
Hu Xiaotian asked where Xue Lingjun was currently living. Yu Wanli was indeed very capable and had clearly investigated where Xue Lingjun was staying. However, the place where Xue Lingjun lived was well-defended, and it would not be easy for outsiders to sneak into it.
After Yu Wanli left, the waiter in the store sent a letter to Hu Xiaotian, but it was sent by Feng Laodao. There were a few big characters written on it, waiting for you at Huanghua Port tonight, and the signature said "Lao Dao"
Character.
This letter was really a bit confusing. Hu Xiaotian laughed dumbly and did not say the specific time. He looked out the window and saw that night had fallen. So Hu Xiaotian asked someone to bring his horse and asked for the location of Huanghua Port.
Let's go.
Huanghua Port is the largest port on the Fugui River, the internal waterway of the Bohai Sea. The Fugui River is a canal that runs through the north and south of the Bohai Sea. After goods from the north and south coasts land on both sides, they are continuously sent to the Bohai Sea through this canal.
Wanghai City, the capital of the country.
Because of Huanghua Port's important geographical location, it has become the busiest place in Wanghai City. Even though night has fallen, there is still a lot of traffic here, and there is an endless stream of carriages transporting goods. The migrant workers loading and unloading goods at the dock are still sweating profusely and burning the midnight oil.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Huanghua Port, where there were many cargo ships, and couldn't help but feel dizzy. This Feng Laodao was really a clueless idiot. He wrote an unclear letter to himself, and trying to find him here was tantamount to
Looking for a needle in a haystack, when Hu Xiaotian was looking around, he saw a boy carrying a bamboo basket coming to him and raising his voice: "Are you Uncle Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled, looked at the boy's dark eyes and said, "Do you know me?"
The boy smiled and said, "I don't know you, but someone knows you." He pointed to a small boat parked in the port and said, "People are waiting for you inside."
Hu Xiaotian turned around and looked around. He estimated that he had been nailed when he went out from Cyclamen. He didn't notice it this time. After all, he was in the light and others were in the dark. Tigers also take naps, not to mention this time.
There are so many people around, it is difficult to spot the stalker immediately.
Hu Xiaotian turned over and dismounted, and the boy said: "Uncle Hu, just leave the horse to me, and I will watch it for you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and threw him a piece of broken silver. The boy took the broken piece of silver and bit it with his teeth. He suddenly smiled widely.
Hu Xiaotian had already walked quickly to the front of the boat, jumped onto the boat lightly, came to the cabin door, and said respectfully: "I wonder if I have an appointment with an old friend? Can you show up to meet me?"
No one responded inside. Hu Xiaotian looked back and saw the boy holding his horse and tying it to the flagpole. Hu Xiaotian listened and heard soft breathing coming from the cabin. Someone should be there.
, he pushed open the cabin door, only to see red candles swaying in the cabin, and a dazzling and beautiful woman sitting there, with a bit of joy and a bit of anticipation on her pretty face, it was Yan Nujiao.
Hu Xiaotian did not expect that she would appear here, so he smiled and said: "Nu Jiao, it's you!"
Yan Nujiao said: "What? Don't you want to see me?" He had already determined his identity from his voice.
Hu Xiaotian burst out laughing and walked over. Yan Nujiao had been thinking about him all the time since leaving Mangjiao Island, but when she saw him, she felt a little embarrassed. She pointed at his face and said, "Take it off!
"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I am a fake?" He took off his mask.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian's handsome and resolute face, Yan Nujiao's heart stirred up. Hu Xiaotian smiled and opened his arms. Yan Nujiao bit her lips, and finally plucked up the courage to throw herself into his arms. The two hugged each other for a long time before they separated. Yan Nujiao whispered.
: "I thought I would never see you again." His words revealed his dissatisfaction with Hu Xiaotian for leaving without saying goodbye.
Hu Xiaotian stroked her hair, kissed her forehead gently and said, "I encountered some troubles, so I had to deal with them, and I was afraid that you would worry about me, so I had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye."
Yan Nujiao nodded: "I didn't expect you to come to Wanghai City."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I didn't expect you to come either. We are probably just like what is often said about a thousand-mile marriage."
Yan Nujiao blushed and was embarrassed to admit it, but she had already made a secret promise.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is your uncle here?"
Only then did Yan Nujiao remember her main mission, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I almost forgot." As the saying goes, her daughter's family is naturally outward-looking, and even before she got married, she had already forgotten her uncle.
She walked out of the hatch and waved lightly. Someone immediately came over from the fishing boat next to her, took up the oars and rowed the boat deep into the port. The boat passed through rows of large ships. There were thousands of large ships in Huanghua Port, and the ships were
The waterway is separated by boats, and walking in it is like a maze. If there is no one to guide you, you will most likely get lost in it.
Yan Nujiao sat with Hu Xiaotian in the cabin, leaning her head on his shoulder, listening to the sound of the oars paddling, feeling an indescribable warmth and solidity even though she was silent.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why come here to take risks?" In fact, he had already guessed that the reason why Yan Nujiao came to Bohai Country was probably for her brother Yan Boguang. It seemed that Yan Tianlu had already got the news about Yan Boguang, and it should be Yan Tianlu
There is no way to stop Yan Nujiao from coming.
Yan Nujiao's answer really confirmed this matter. According to various signs, Yan Boguang is currently in Bohai Country. This is the reason why she insisted on coming together.
The small boat they were riding in came to a giant merchant ship. A rope ladder had already been put down on the ship. Yan Nujiao led the way and followed the rope ladder to the deck.
As soon as Hu Xiaotian boarded the deck, he heard a burst of rough laughter from above: "Boy, you are so fast? Could it be that you came here on a bird?" Hu Xiaotian looked up and saw Yan Tianlu on the second floor of the merchant ship holding his hands.
He was leaning on the railing and looking towards him.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You are fine, old man. Is your body still strong?"
Yan Tianlu sighed and strode down the gangway. Hu Xiaotian greeted him and saluted him with fists. Yan Tianlu smiled and grabbed his arm and said: "You didn't help me with what you promised me." What he meant was to give him a gift.
The matter of son Yan Xuanming’s return to Mangjiao Island.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "My legs are on his body, and he refuses to recognize you as me. I can't tie him up and take him over."
Yan Tianlu smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "It's okay to stay with you, I don't worry!" At that moment, he and Hu Xiaotian entered the second-floor cabin hand in hand. Food and wine were already placed in the cabin. After the two sat down, Yan Nujiao filled the glasses for them.
