Quan De'an nodded slowly: "It doesn't matter what others say, the key is how to do it. Will you accept this imperial edict or not?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly: "Eunuch Quan is still as strong as ever, are you ready to force me?"
"Don't dare. You are now the overlord of one party. Even Xingzhou has fallen into your hands. Who dares to force you to do anything?"
Hu Xiaotian put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly: "You are really well informed. I just captured Xingzhou and you guys came here. Did you come from Yunyang?"
Quan De'an shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to go to Dongliang County to see you, but I heard the news that you sent troops to Xingzhou, so I came here." Hu Xiaotian's capture of Xingzhou was indeed something they did not expect.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at the imperial edict and said, "Are you trying to deceive children with this thing?" The memory of Qiqi's frame-up of him in Kangdu was still fresh in his mind, and he would not believe that this girl would find out in her conscience that she took the initiative this time.
Showing kindness to yourself must have ulterior motives behind it.
Quan De'an said: "If His Highness really wants to deal with you, all he needs to do is join forces with Dayong, and you will never be able to gain a foothold in Yongjiang." He still spoke aggressively and acted extremely forcefully.
Hu Xiaotian smiled disdainfully and said, "Then you might as well give it a try. Joining forces with Dayong is like dancing with wolves. We don't know who will suffer the greater loss in the end."
Quan De'an saw that Hu Xiaotian was not afraid of his intimidation at all, and his arrogance was not as arrogant as before. He picked up a tea cup and drank tea silently, adjusting the rhythm of the conversation to dilute the tense atmosphere just now.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If Eunuch Quan is here just for these things, please take it back with me. By the way, help me tell your master that if she doesn't bother me, I won't mess with her. As for King Zhenhai,
It’s a lie, she can give this account to whomever she likes.”
Quan De'an slowly put the tea cup back on the coffee table, sighed and said: "Actually, we don't understand why His Highness is so tolerant to you. It's a pity that Your Highness is so sincere to you but you misunderstood it. Think about it.
It’s really not worth it for His Highness.”
Hu Xiaotian looked at Quan De'an coldly. These words were simply confusing right and wrong. Is Qiqi being tolerant to him? The last time he returned to Kangdu, he almost died in her hands. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have turned into a pile of bones by now.
, Quan De'an's coming this time must be due to the needs of her political interests.
Quan De'an took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Hu Xiaotian with both hands: "This is a letter written by His Highness!"
Hu Xiaotian looked at the letter and hesitated for a while, then finally took it. He did not open the letter, but stared at the beautiful small words on the envelope.
Quan De'an looked at him expectantly from the side. He was also curious about what was written inside. In the end, Hu Xiaotian did not open the letter. He placed the letter on top of the imperial edict and said softly: "I have accepted this imperial edict. You
Help me tell her that I will not read this letter unless she explains to me face to face that I have accepted this prince and that she can write whatever articles she wants. I can guarantee that Dakang will have no worries in Northern Xinjiang.
"Although Hu Xiaotian didn't read the content of the letter, he knew that the reason why Qi Qi took the initiative to show her kindness was simply to maintain the status quo with him and hope that they would not start a fight.
Quan De'an was originally quite disappointed when he saw that Hu Xiaotian refused to read the letter, but he didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse. Hu Xiaotian actually agreed to accept the order and also agreed to the title of Zhenhai King. This meant that he and Wu Jingshan's trip was not in vain and went smoothly.
Mission accomplished.
Quan De'an did not hesitate, stood up and hugged Hu Xiaotian, saying: "Your Majesty, a thousand years old, we say goodbye."
Hu Xiaotian did not try to persuade him to stay, and said calmly: "Have a good journey, and I won't send you far away!"
After Quan De'an left, Hu Xiaotian immediately ordered the news that the Dakang court named him King of Zhenhai widely spread. Hu Xiaotian was not a person who bowed his head easily. Accepting the reward from Dakang was equivalent to acknowledging that his territory was still under the jurisdiction of Dakang.
However, it is the most realistic choice for Hu Xiaotian at the moment. He was originally planning to reap the benefits and take advantage of the battle between Su Yuchi and Xichuan and Xingzhou to seize Yunyang, but Hu Xiaotian did not expect Su Yuchi's combat effectiveness.
In fact, it was not just him, but almost everyone had not thought that it was so powerful. Although Hu Xiaotian had a killing weapon like Hong Tian Lei, he still couldn't use it unless necessary. What's more, the Hong Tian Lei he designed based on his impressions also had
There are many shortcomings and shortcomings. Since the Tianji Bureau can provide Su Yuchi with weapons such as the Zhentian Crossbow and the Turtle Armor Chariot at critical moments, there may be weapons with greater lethality.
There is actually not much difference between Yunyang's hands in Su Yuchi's hands and his own. Li Tianheng and his army were trapped in Xichuan. After the defeat of Yunyang, Li Tianheng will definitely stay dormant for a while to recover his strength.
to readjust its strategy.
He did not suffer any losses in this war. Guo Guangbi's strategic shift made him successful. He captured Xingzhou effortlessly and could form a double-team on Yunyang in the future.
I have to admire Qiqi's foresight here. She may have realized that there was no benefit in continuing to stand in a stalemate with her, so she suddenly changed her strategy. Not only did she forgive herself for all her past sins, she also made an exception and made herself a king with a different surname.
King! In this way, he announced to the world that the two men had reached an understanding again.
The most important reason why Hu Xiaotian agreed to accept the throne was because of Dayong. Previously, Dakang and Dayong had continuously sent out signals to attack him. Now all the rumors have been self-defeating as he has been crowned king. Both sides on the Yongjiang River
The navy is still in a stalemate, and Dayong's army has advanced to fifty miles away from Xingzhou.
He will attack Xingzhou at all costs.
Although Hu Xiaotian is ready for the battle, deep down in his heart he does not expect to fight this battle. His current strength is not strong enough to compete with Dayong. The reward from Qiqi is of great significance to him in a sense.
It was a timely rain. On the surface, Hu Xiaotian bowed his head, but the signal sent out was that he and Dakang had settled their differences and rejoined forces, which would make Dakang re-examine the current situation.
What Hu Xiaotian needs is not war but time. Only enough time can give him enough room for development. He also understands that Qiqi, like him, also needs time. It is precisely because of this that the two parties have the possibility to cooperate again.
, not because of feelings, just because of the immediate interests, he is very clear about this.
Because I came back too late, this chapter only has 2,000 words. I hope you can forgive me. Octopus will be able to resume normal updates starting next Thursday. Fortunately, this month has not passed. Thank you for your support and understanding! (To be continued.
