Long Xiyue looked at Qin Yutong sadly, wondering why there was such a gap between them.
Qin Yutong's eyes dropped and she said softly: "Hu Xiaotian has an unruly temperament. It's time for someone to take good care of him. Why doesn't Your Highness marry him?"
When the matter of getting married was mentioned, Long Xiyue's pretty face immediately turned red. In fact, she had never thought about it, but she once publicly told Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao in Tianxiang Kingdom that she would observe mourning for her father for three years.
Qin Yutong said: "Everyone in the world is selfish. Your Highness the Princess's kindness and weakness may become a reason for others to indulge."
Long Xiyue shook her head and said: "No, Xiaotian won't, he won't be sorry to me."
Qin Yutong sighed quietly and said: "Forget it, it's not my turn to say some things, and it's not my turn to ask about some things."
Long Xiyue blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Qin Yutong and whispered: "Why can't we go back to the past?"
Qin Yutong said: "Because we are not the same people we used to be!"
The pressure that Hu Xiaotian felt began to increase. Not only did Dayong continue to increase troops in Nanyang Water Village, but Dakang also began to take action. While they strengthened defense forces in the seven cities around Yunze, they also mobilized a group of troops.
An army of ten thousand people went to Yangquan, which was the closest city to Baiquan City. The news among the people that Dakang and Dayong had formed an alliance to join forces to exterminate Hu Xiaotian spread like mushrooms after a rain.
On the one hand, Hu Xiaotian sent people to actively pay attention to the opponent's situation, and on the other hand, he issued orders to make the soldiers on all sides be more vigilant and help each other. On the other hand, he followed Zhuge Guanqi's suggestion and began to station troops in Dongluocang.
It was not just bad news for Hu Xiaotian. Xue Zhenhai reorganized the Jiangbei branch of the Beggar Gang in a vigorous and vigorous manner according to the list he gave, and arrested all the rebels involved. Lu Sanfan was also captured alive by him, including those who participated in the attack on Shajiao Town.
All six key members were taken to Dongliang County.
With Long Xiyue's kind and gentle temperament, she couldn't bear to kill these people, so Hu Xiaotian asked her to leave everything to Xue Zhenhai to handle.
Xue Zhenhai had read all the vicissitudes of life and had a very clear and understanding view of the rebellion. He made a special trip to ask Hu Xiaotian for advice on how to deal with the relevant personnel.
After hearing him tell the story of the conspiracy, Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Are you saying that Qin Yangming was bewitched by Dayong?"
Xue Zhenhai nodded and said: "According to Lu Sanfan and others, Qin Yangming and Li Chenzhou, the admiral of the Great Yongshui Army, had a close relationship. Li Chenzhou promised that he would secretly support the Beggar Gang in the future and help Qin Yangming's Jiangbei branch draw a clear line with the Beggar Gang.
After independence, Qin Yangming became the leader of the Beggar Clan."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. Li Chenzhou is really not a simple guy. Back in Bohai Kingdom, he planned a conspiracy to kill the eldest princess Xue Lingjun and King Yan Xue Shengjing. At that time, he contacted many Jianghu sects and sword palaces.
Luo Ying Palace and him are inextricably linked. Unexpectedly, he would now extend his tentacles to the Beggar Gang.
Xue Zhenhai said: "I have initially found out that it was their idea to assassinate me and several other Beggar Clan elders. Sword Palace and Luoying Palace should have been involved, and the mastermind behind it was Li Chenzhou."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Xue."
Xue Zhenhai said: "It's not hard work. I should devote myself to the Beggar Clan and die. However, most of the brothers in the Jiangbei branch are loyal to the Beggar Clan. They were just deceived by the traitor Qin Yangming. These days, I have been suspected of being involved in the Beggar Clan."
All the key people involved in the rebellion have been arrested, the rebellion has been basically eliminated, and a new group of leaders have been appointed. I can ensure that the previous problems will not occur again."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Xue Zhenhai said: "I have something to ask you, sir. How should we deal with those people who participated in the rebellion?"
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "This is your beggar gang's own business. It would be bad if I interfered, right?"
Xue Zhenhai smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I know I shouldn't ask you these things, but when I asked the princess for instructions, the princess said she would spare their lives. Please forgive me, although these people have made contributions to the Beggar Gang in the past, they made a big mistake this time.
, according to the gang rules, he will be the leader of the gang and be shown to the public."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought to himself that Xue Zhenhai obviously did not dare to make the decision without authorization. Long Xiyue was soft-hearted and naturally refused to order these traitors to be killed without mercy.
According to Hu Xiaotian's wishes, all those who participated in the rebellion must be killed to avoid future troubles. However, if such an order were really issued, the outside world would interpret him as too much interference in the internal affairs of the Beggar Clan.
Hu Xiaotian thought about it for a while and then said to Xue Zhenhai: "Destroy their martial arts, put them in jail temporarily, and give them a chance to change their ways." But he had already made up his mind to wait until the limelight of this matter has passed before putting them in jail.
These people were executed one by one.
Xue Zhenhai nodded and left. Hu Xiaotian saw him out. After Xue Zhenhai left, he suddenly turned around and saw a tall figure standing in the corner in the distance. He was the former beggars' disciple.
Elder, Qiao Fangzheng, Long Xiyue’s mentor.
Qiao Fangzheng praised in a low voice: "Master Hu's insight is really amazing."
Hu Xiaotian laughed dumbly. His residence was well-defended, but it was still useless in front of a master like Qiao Fangzheng. He could come and go freely. However, the appearance of Qiao Fangzheng still brought Hu Xiaotian a lot of joy. Although the Jiangbei helm issue had been settled,
However, it is difficult to say that all hidden dangers can be eliminated through this operation. A strong figure must be in charge of the Beggar Clan, and Qiao Fangzheng is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I thought senior had left."
Qiao Fangzheng sighed and said, "I wanted to leave, but I didn't trust my apprentice, for fear that you would bully her, so I came back."
Hu Xiaotian laughed.
Qiao Fangzheng said: "Shangguan Tianhuo and his son will not give up. Maybe they will make a comeback soon."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll call Xiyue."
Qiao Fangzheng shook his head and said, "Why?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why?"
Qiao Fangzheng said: "Why do you want to keep those people alive?"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that this was what he was talking about. He sighed softly and said, "Xiyue is kind-hearted. She doesn't want to cause more killings."
Qiao Fangzheng said: "We must suffer chaos if we continue to do so. Since those people dare to rebel with Qin Yangming, they have already made up their minds to die. If we don't eradicate them even after making such a big mistake, it will only make some people in the Jiangbei branch even more serious."
Rampant, such people must be eradicated one by one without mercy, otherwise they will only cause endless troubles."
Hu Xiaotian did not tell Qiao Fangzheng his true thoughts. In fact, he agreed with Qiao Fangzheng's attitude, but it was just inconvenient to do so due to his status.
Qiao Fangzheng sighed and said: "Since you don't want to be this evil person, I can only take the responsibility."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Senior's current status seems to be inconvenient for him to come forward." At the Red Sea Conference, Shangguan Tianhuo publicly revealed the secret that Qiao Fangzheng had an affair with the wife of the previous gang leader and gave birth to a son. Qiao Fangzheng confessed at that time
, although Shangguan and his son became the public enemies of the Beggar Clan because of the usurpation of power, Qiao Fangzheng's situation was not much better. Apart from anything else, the crime of seducing his adopted sister-in-law alone made Qiao Fangzheng unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life.
Qiao Fangzheng said: "I have been in the gang for so many years and have a few friends. I don't need to show up at all."
Hu Xiaotian felt happy when he heard this. Yes, Qiao Fangzheng's influence on the Beggar Clan is still there. He used to be the elder of the Beggar Clan and taught his disciples all over the Beggar Clan. Countless members of the Clan benefited from him. As long as Qiao Fangzheng wanted to help,
Solving these things is not difficult.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Senior Qiao really intends to stay?"
Qiao Fangzheng's empty eyes turned to Hu Xiaotian and said coldly: "Do you dare to take me in?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I will ask Xia Changming to pick a good dog for you later!"
Xia Changming sent Fang Fang to Hongmuchuan and returned safely. After returning, he immediately found Hu Xiaotian. On the way, he happened to meet Dakang's team allocating military resources to Yunyang. Judging from the current situation, a war is inevitable
.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown when he heard Xia Changming explain what he had seen along the way.
Xia Changming said: "Lord, I have heard a lot of rumors along the way. It is said that Dayong and Dakang have decided to join forces."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The rumors may not be credible. Even if they really join forces, I won't be afraid." But in his heart, he always believed that this rumor was more of a threat to him. Although Dakang didn't want to get Yunyang, they didn't want Dakang to get it either.
Yong's real intention in acquiring Yunyang may be to put pressure on himself and disrupt his judgment.
Xia Changming said: "It may not be without reason."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "What's going on over there in Xichuan?"
Xia Changming said: "Xichuan's army is gathering towards Yunyang, but the marching speed is very slow." He was quite puzzled by this. Although Xia Changming was not a master of military art, he also understood the principle of speed, since Xichuan
If you decide to attack Yunyang, you should quickly launch an offensive before Yunyang is fully prepared, instead of marching slowly like now and waiting until all the military supplies in Yunyang are in place.
Hu Xiaotian pondered for a while and whispered: "They should be moving towards Xingzhou."
Xia Changming said: "You are saying that Xichuan and Xingzhou have not yet reached a tacit understanding?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xingzhou is short of food. Although the Xichuan Li family has food, they cannot send it out. Only by taking Yunyang can the two sides exchange what they have. Before that, Xingzhou Guo Guangbi can only rely on themselves."
Xia Changming said: "In this case, their attack on Yunyang is not optimistic."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Although on the surface it is a flanking attack, Xingzhou is powerless. They do not have enough military rations to support them. Once this war starts, there will be huge problems with logistical supplies, unless...
"
"Unless what?"
Hu Xiaotian's eyes lit up: "Unless someone is secretly helping Xingzhou!"
