Xia Changming originally thought that Hu Xiaotian was going to leave Xichuan and return to Dongliang County, but Hu Xiaotian wanted to go to Qingyun to visit. There was indeed a complex at work. Qingyun was his first step in traveling around the world, and it was also his first step in this era.
His first official position left him with many memories. Xia Changming and Hu Xiaotian agreed to meet him in Qingyun one day later and then return together.
Fei Xiao sent Hu Xiaotian and Long Xiyue outside Qingyun City, and also went with Xia Changming.
At dawn, Hu Xiaotian and Long Xiyue walked side by side to Qingyun County. The Qingyun Bridge on the Tongji River has been repaired. Walking on this bluestone-carved bridge, they suddenly remembered that when they came to Qingyun at the beginning of the year, the Qingyun Bridge was broken.
Zhang Ziqian used a small boat to ferry them across, but now they were separated by life and death. Hu Xiaotian held on to the railing of the bluestone bridge, looked at the long river, and said softly: "The two crossings at the head of the south bridge are like shuttles, weaving the beautiful scenery across the river."
Long Xiyue looked at him with some surprise. She didn't know why he suddenly became so literary that he started to write couplets. Just when he was about to think about the second couplet, he heard Hu Xiaotian say again: "The tower at the end of the west bank is like a pen, writing articles from the sky."
Full of sentimentality.
Long Xiyue didn't know why he was so sentimental. After asking, she only found out about the past events between Hu Xiaotian and Zhang Ziqian. She sighed softly and said: "In fact, people in this world each have their own destiny and destiny, and so do you."
There is no need to force it, if Mr. Zhang is knowledgeable and knows that you are here to pay homage to him, he will definitely feel gratified in his heart."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, Zhang Ziqian was a great talent in Xichuan, but it was a pity that he was devoted to assisting Li Tianheng and devoted himself to the Li family. The reason why he assassinated him was not because they had any hatred, but because the two sides were in different positions. Zhang Ziqian was Li Tianheng
He is the think tank, right-hand man, and one of the masterminds of the invasion of Hongmuchuan. Only by getting rid of him can we smash Xichuan's conspiracy to invade Hongmuchuan. Hongmuchuan has just stabilized. If it encounters an army of 60,000 at this time, it may not be possible at all.
Without the power to resist, assassination was Hu Xiaotian's last resort.
It’s just that Hu Xiaotian didn’t expect that there were many internal conflicts in Xichuan. Feng Xianlin’s assassination of Zhang Ziqian was obviously under the instruction of Yang Daoyuan. What was Yang Daoyuan’s purpose of assassinating Zhang Ziqian? After a little thought, it is not difficult to deduce that Yang Daoyuan should have wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
Getting rid of Zhang Ziqian's surveillance and gaining the power to command an army of 60,000 people can be seen from this matter Yang Daoyuan's ambition. Even if they captured Hongmuchuan, Yang Daoyuan would take the opportunity to become independent and get rid of Li Tianheng's control.
This incident made Hu Xiaotian feel unprecedented pressure. Hongmuchuan fell into his control, which was equivalent to blocking the southern access to Xichuan. No wonder Li Tianheng would make a desperate move.
Long Xiyue held Hu Xiaotian's arm and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not sad, it's just a pity that a talent like Mr. Zhang should not have ended up like this." The two continued to walk towards Qingyun City Gate. There were not many troops stationed on Qingyun side.
In Gu County, the generals and supervisors were assassinated, and the grain and grass camp was burned. This matter had spread a lot, and Yan Hucheng made a decision to postpone the advance to Hongmuchuan. The army temporarily retreated to Xiezhou, while he went to Xizhou at starry night.
Report this news to Marshal Li Tianheng.
Hu Xiaotian thought that he would become famous all over the world after this night. After all, he appeared in front of Yan Hucheng in his true colors. But what he didn't expect was that the news spreading outside was that Yang Daoyuan colluded with Tianlang Mountain Horse.
The gangsters assassinated Zhang Ziqian, but in the end it had nothing to do with him. It would have been a good thing to have someone to blame for the murder. But Hu Xiaotian was actually a little disappointed, and the chance to become famous all over the world again was so inexplicably gone.
Long Xiyue saw his disappointment, held his hand and smiled: "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. Of course it's best to have someone to help you handle this kind of thing."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yan Hucheng helped me cover it up. It seems that he has some ideas." Thinking of Zhang Ziqian's words before his death, it would be great if Yan Hucheng really heard it. Yan Hucheng was so filial, maybe
He really knew how to fight with himself. Perhaps it was his last words that made Yan Hucheng believe him. He might have really had a different intention, otherwise he would not have covered up the assassination for himself. But Yan Hucheng was suspected of self-defeating, Hu Xiaotian
Since I dared to appear in front of him with my true appearance, I wanted to make this matter bigger and let Li Tianheng know that his territory would never be allowed to be interfered with by others. The expected deterrent effect was not achieved.
Although he has been away from Qingyun County for many years, the situation here has not changed much. Even the county government is still the same as before. Hu Xiaotian took Long Xiyue around the county town and finally came to the ruins of Huichun Hall and Fulai Inn.
It became a piece of rubble. Thinking of the voices and smiles of those kind-hearted people in the past, Hu Xiaotian felt a pity in his heart.
The two of them came to Hongyan Tower, the most famous restaurant in the city, at noon. Hu Xiaotian ordered a few special dishes. The fish here was the best, but Long Xiyue didn't eat meat and only picked vegetarian dishes. The two chatted while eating.
Long Xiyue burst into cheerful laughter from time to time as she recounted Hu Xiaotian’s interesting stories from the past.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, but a beggar came to the door to beg for food, and was kicked to the ground by the waiter.
Long Xiyue became angry at the first sight. She rarely gets angry, but she is the leader of the Beggar Clan. Most of the beggars in the world are members of the Beggar Clan. As a leader, how can she be indifferent when she sees the gang members being bullied? Long Xiyue is angry.
Said: "Stop! How can you hit an old man?"
The white-haired old man raised his head. Long Xiyue wanted to help him, but unexpectedly, the old man looked at her lustfully and said: "Beauty...Beauty..." and stretched out his hand to grab her.
Long Xiyue was so shocked that her face turned pale. Hu Xiaotian came to her and pulled her over. The old beggar crawled over like a dog: "Beauty...Beauty..." Hu Xiaotian pressed his forehead with a scabbard,
Then he raised his chin with the scabbard. Hu Xiaotian recognized that the old beggar in front of him was actually Wan Boping, the richest man in Qingyun. He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, but he didn't know how this former richest man fell to the point of begging on the street, and he seemed to be crazy.
Already.
Wan Boping smiled very strangely: "Hehe...hehe...beauties...I like beauties..."
Long Xiyue no longer sympathized at this moment and hid behind Hu Xiaotian.
The waiter from the shop came over and stuffed him with two steamed buns: "Get out! Get away! Damn it, you used to be domineering and bully men and women, and you are here today too."
Wan Boping refused to leave after getting the buns. He stared straight at Long Xiyue. The waiter finally couldn't help it and kicked Wan Boping in the stomach, causing Wan Boping to fall to the ground. The buns in his hand also fell to the ground.
Get away, this attracted his attention. He hurriedly chased the bun, but before he could catch the bun, a wild dog rushed up and took the bun away. Wan Boping chased the wild dog while yelling.
went.
Everyone laughed, and Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wan Boping reduced to such a state. Only Long Xiyue didn't know the reason, and thought to himself that this old beggar was so pitiful, why didn't anyone sympathize with him? He returned to the table and started again.
After sitting down, Hu Xiaotian just told her the whole story. Long Xiyue nodded and said: "In this way, he has received the retribution he deserves, but now that he is like this, everyone is also
There is no need to embarrass him."
The waiter came over and poured tea for the two of them. Hu Xiaotian said: "Waiter, when I just passed by Wanfu, I saw that there are still people living in Wanfu."
The waiter smiled and said: "There is no such thing as Wanfu. Now it is Hu's house and was bought by the Hu family."
Hu Xiaotian and Long Xiyue looked at each other, and both felt that this was a coincidence.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I wonder who this master of Hu Mansion is?"
The waiter shook his head and said: "I have never met the master, but I have met the madam a few times. I just know that there are many female relatives in this family."
After the two of them finished eating, Hu Xiaotian settled the bill. When he and Long Xiyue passed the gate of Wan Mansion, they stopped to take a look and found that the plaque in front of the door had indeed been replaced by Hu Mansion. The door was closed tightly and there were no servants outside the door.
Long Xiyue said: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Wan family's garden is quite well maintained. Forget it, let's go."
The two of them passed by the corner of the street in front of them and saw Wan Boping sitting in the sun catching lice. When he caught one, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Long Xiyue felt disgusted and could not help frowning.
Get up and urge Hu Xiaotian to leave quickly.
Hu Xiaotian asked her to wait aside. He came to Wan Boping, took out a piece of gold and threw it on the ground. Wan Boping hurriedly picked it up from the ground, bit it with his teeth, then raised his head and looked at it with gratitude.
Hu Xiaotian, it seems he still recognizes gold.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Outside ten thousand people, do you still recognize me?"
Wan Boping's eyes were confused and he shook his head vigorously: "I don't remember... Could it be... that you are the prostitute at Lianxiang Tower?"
Hu Xiaozhen was dumbfounded. He pointed to the mansion behind Wan Boping and said, "Do you still remember your home?"
Wan Boping turned around, looked around, and scratched his head: "Home? My home...is under the bridge..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Didn't your family live there in the past?"
Wan Boping looked back again, but suddenly he seemed to remember something: "Ghost... ghost... there is a female ghost who wants to kill me... and I will take my life..." He was so frightened that he picked up a pile of rags on the ground and turned around.
He ran away. When Hu Xiaotian saw that he had such a strong reaction, he was even more surprised. What on earth is Wan Boping afraid of? Female ghosts? How could there be female ghosts in Wan Mansion?
