Hu Xiaotian said: "You said some incomprehensible things, but I don't like them very much! The people of the Xu family are indeed unsympathetic and unjust!" This sentence includes Hu Buwei, but it cannot be generalized, at least.
His mother, Xu Fengyi, was a good person, and her kindness and care will never be forgotten by Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Buwei laughed. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but did not finish the drink: "She looks very similar to your mother, but her temperament is completely different. The Xu family has always been used to being strong."
Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "She even thinks that I did it when Yang Longjing disappeared!"
Hu Buwei said oh and put down the unfinished glass of wine again: "Who would be stupid enough to use such a method to blackmail Tianxiang Kingdom into betrothing Princess Yingyue to him? Even if the blackmail was successful at the time, who would know afterwards?
Will Tianxiang Kingdom go back on its word? What if it incurs double retaliation afterwards?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "But she still doubts me."
Hu Buwei said: "What do you suspect of you? Do you suspect that you will use this matter to retaliate against me?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Why should I take revenge on you? What is your relationship with Yang Longjing? Are the rumors outside true?" A son who can ask his father such a question has lost the most basic understanding of him.
respect.
Hu Buwei looked at Hu Xiaotian quietly, and he actually nodded. Then he grabbed the wine bottle and filled Hu Xiaotian's wine proactively. I poured the wine for my son. Such a low posture was obviously a sign of weakness, and it also proved that he was also the same.
Focusing the doubt on Hu Xiaotian, although there is doubt but no evidence, there is no evidence but still doubt, what a contradictory feeling this is.
Hu Buwei said: "Actually, there is no conflict between us. Even if we break up as father and son, we should still have the possibility of cooperation."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Anyone has the possibility of cooperation. As long as the conditions are attractive enough, enemies can become friends, let alone the former father and son." He used the word "ever" to show that he had long been with Hu Buwei.
The relationship between father and son has been severed.
Hu Buwei laughed. Hu Xiaotian is a sensible person. But does he really think he has the capital to negotiate terms with him on an equal footing? Hu Buwei whispered: "Can you help me rescue Long Jing?" Knowing that Hu Xiaotian is the biggest suspect.
, but still can't pierce this layer of paper, human nature is so hypocritical.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since he is my half-brother, I should do my best." Hu Xiaotian is not afraid of exposing the matter. Anyway, you, Old Hu, are shameless, so why should I save face for you.
Hu Buwei's expression looked slightly embarrassed: "As long as Long Jing can be rescued, I will facilitate the marriage between you and Princess Yingyue."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that you have already promised me this!" The price for sending back the blue skull was that Hu Buwei helped him facilitate this matter, and Hu Buwei was good at fishing in troubled waters.
Hu Buwei said: "Then you might as well put forward other conditions."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't have any conditions, because I have nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end. The reason why I came here tonight is to take a look at you because of our old friendship. After all, you are now
I'm definitely not in a good mood, but you seem to be much stronger than I thought!" He finished the glass of wine and stood up: "It's late at night, I should go!"
Hu Buwei stared at his retreating back in astonishment. He thought he had almost reached an agreement, but Hu Xiaotian suddenly left. He was basically teasing him. Hu Buwei finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart. He grabbed the table and put it on the table.
All the food and wine were knocked to the ground.
For Piaoxiang City, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Just as the whole city is on guard to search for the whereabouts of Yang Longjing, another unexpected thing happened. King Fu Yang Longyue was assassinated during the night patrol and was shot by a cold arrow.
, an arrow pierced the throat, this incident shocked both the government and the public. First, the king disappeared, and then King Fu was killed. In just one day and night, two major events related to the fate of the country happened in Tianxiang Kingdom.
Hu Xiaotian did not expect that King Fu died so suddenly. He was awakened by Zhan Peng early in the morning and told him the news of King Fu's assassination.
Hu Xiaotian's first reaction was that Long Xuanjiao did it. Yang Longjing disappeared. Among the many princes in Tianxiang Kingdom, the most promising person to succeed the throne was King Fu Yang Longyue. Yang Longyue himself was beginning to make moves, so Long Xuanjiao wanted to prevent changes in the court.
Strike first and get rid of Yang Longyue. At this time, most people will not suspect her, and will mistakenly think that the assassin of King Fu and the one who kidnapped the king are the same force. Long Xuanjiao considers herself a victim, so she can be ignored
Suspicion can eliminate the hidden danger of King Fu.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, Yang Longyue had been planning for so long, but in the end he still fell short. As the saying goes, the devil is only as good as the Taoist. Long Xuanjiao's approach to nip problems in the bud was so vigorous that even he had not expected it. Political struggles are comparable.
Who is more ruthless, whose methods are more vicious, and who is more decisive? Yang Longyue's hesitation in this regard caused him to miss a good opportunity, and he will never have a chance to make a comeback in this life.
Zhan Peng saw that Hu Xiaotian had not spoken for a long time, so he reminded him in a low voice: "Will the Lord go to King Fu's side?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Go, of course!" After all, he and Fu Wang Yang Longyue were sworn brothers. Although the starting point was based on each other's interests, they still met in the end, and without Yang Longyue's help, he would not have
Being able to abduct Yang Longjing from the summer resort so smoothly and unnoticed, he should go there because of both emotion and reason.
When they came to Prince Fu's Mansion, not many people came to express their condolences. When Prince Fu was alive, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was not on good terms with him, so they tried their best to avoid suspicion in public. Now that Prince Fu is dead, no one wants to be regarded as a close friend of Prince Fu by the court.
Or accomplices, after all, there are the Queen Mother's spies everywhere in Piaoxiang City, and no one wants to cause trouble at this time.
The person who handled the funeral for King Fu was Prince Jing Yang Longxiu. He was also one of the princes of Tianxiang Kingdom. However, he was indifferent to the world and had no ability. Many times in the life of the royal family, there was a saying that no talent is a virtue, except for the emperor.
In addition, the more incompetent and mediocre people are, the longer they can live. It is precisely because of incompetence that they do not pose a threat to the emperor. It is precisely because of incompetence that they have no desire to fight for power and gain, so they live in peace and ease.
Hu Xiaotian also met a few acquaintances in Prince Fu's Mansion, Wang Qizhi, the minister of Honglu Temple, and Rong Feiyan, the commander of Feng Lingwei. The two of them had no friendship with Prince Fu, and they all came here on orders.
Hu Xiaotian sent a wreath, burned incense and knelt down in the mourning hall, and felt sad in his heart. Yang Longyue also died before his ambitions were fulfilled. Fighting in the court is not only reflected in the grasp of opportunities, but more importantly, having a ruthless heart.
He never hesitated at the critical moment. Long Xuanjiao accurately grasped the opportunity and eradicated Yang Longyue before the crisis broke out.
After Hu Xiaotian paid his respects, he asked to take another look at Yang Longyue's appearance. When he came to Yang Longyue's body, Murong Feiyan was also on the side. There was also an execution officer beside her who was inspecting Yang Longyue's body.
Hu Xiaotian went over to take a look, and saw that Yang Longyue's neck had been shot through by an arrow. The arrow was so powerful that it penetrated his throat, and the tip of the arrow shattered his cervical vertebrae. It was so powerful that it was rare.
Hu Xiaotian first thought of Luoying Palace. In his impression, they were the ones who were good at long-distance bow and arrow assassination. He looked at the feather arrow that was going to kill Yang Longyue. What surprised Hu Xiaotian was that from the production of this feather arrow,
Judging from the craftsmanship, it came from Luoying Palace, and the marks on it were also deliberately erased, which means there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Hu Xiaotian immediately thought that if it was Luoying Palace, they would not be stupid enough to use bows and arrows made by their own craftsmanship. After all, their arrowmaking craftsmanship was different. Anyone who knew a little bit about Luoying Palace would be able to see that.
The imprint is meant to cover up, but it proves that this matter has little to do with Luo Ying Palace. It is just to confuse the public and make the situation more complicated.
Hu Xiaotian didn't say anything. After seeing King Fu for the last time, he came to greet his family. King Fu had four wives and concubines and seven children. Seeing his family members burst into tears, Hu Xiaotian also felt sad in his heart. He who has become a king is king.
The loser is the bandit. If you cannot control your own destiny, your loved ones will suffer a tragic fate.
When Princess Fu heard that it was Hu Xiaotian who was coming, she tearfully took Hu Xiaotian aside, wiped away her tears, and said with red eyes: "The prince once said before his death that if something unexpected happens to him one day, Mr. Hu is the person he can entrust to his care."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "If the princess has anything to do, just tell me clearly."
Princess Fu said: "As early as when my son was young, he was fostered outside. I hoped to take him back one day, but now it seems that there is no hope. I have asked him to be sent to Dongliang.
The county surrenders to the young master, and hopes that the young master will take care of his offspring and help him grow up!"
King Fu had already left a way out for possible failure before his death. He sent his eldest son out of Tianxiang Kingdom to be fostered at an early age just in case. If one day he failed, he could at least preserve the blood of the family.
After King Fu's accident, Princess Fu had a premonition that their family might not be able to be saved, so she asked Hu Xiaotian for help.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, Princess, I will do my best on this matter." He did owe something to King Fu Yang Longyue, and raising King Fu's son could be regarded as compensation for his sworn brother.
When he came out of the mourning hall and met Murong Feiyan, Hu Xiaotian said: "We meet again, even if you don't believe in fate!"
Murong Feiyan said: "Everyone leaves to express their condolences. Not many people came to express their condolences today."
Hu Xiaotian turned around and glanced in the direction of the mourning hall, sighed and said: "The world has always been cold and cold, and human relationships have always been like this. That's why we should cherish the present and cherish each other. Life only lasts a hundred years, so why miss out on a great thing because of anger?
