Chapter seven hundred and sixteenth encounter on the street
An Zhai shook his head and said with an expression on his face full of grief and anger: "All the six brothers who were responsible for guarding him were killed and none of them survived. I checked their injuries and it seems that they all died from the big mudra of the Beiming Tantric Sect."
Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming looked at each other, and both of them thought of Gangbala, the Black Hu State Preceptor. Could it be that Gangbala followed Yuchichong all the way to Yongdu? If that was the case, Yuchichong's situation would be in danger.
Hu Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said: "Brother An, you immediately withdraw the manpower deployed around that place. Remember, you must not send anyone closer there. Also, the place where we are hiding now is not safe. Let's split up. Brother An, you can lead
Brothers, please find another place to stay, Chang Ming and I will go back right away."
An Zhai nodded heavily.
Hu Xiaotian added: "It's not safe here either. There's no need to come here to meet up for the time being. It's best for us not to meet each other in the next few days and wait until the time is right."
The three of them broke up immediately. Hu Xiaotian and Xia Changming went straight back to their hiding place. When they arrived, they found that Qin Yutong was not there. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but panic. He asked Qin Yutong to stay with Jian Rongxin while he was away.
I didn't expect that she actually turned a deaf ear to my words and left alone.
Hu Xiaotian hurried to the room where Jian Rongxin lived, knocked on the door, and felt relieved when he heard Jian Rongxin's soft voice: "Who is it?"
After getting Jian Rongxin's permission, he pushed the door and walked into the room. He saw Jian Rongxin writing in front of the desk. He came closer slowly and his eyes fell on the rice paper. What he saw was what Jian Rongxin wrote.
This article about missing my father is truly full of emotion and emotion.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why does Miss Jian stay here alone? Where did Miss Qin go?"
Jian Rongxin put down the wolf hair in her hand and turned to Hu Xiaotian, her eyes as bright as autumn water still filled with lingering sadness, she said softly: "Miss Qin went out for something urgent. She said you will be surprised when you come back."
she."
Hu Xiaotian smiled.
Jian Rong said in his heart: "Don't worry, since I promised you not to leave, I won't leave without saying goodbye. In fact, although the world is big, there is no place for me anymore."
Seeing that Jian Rongxin had regained her composure and rationality, Hu Xiaotian was naturally relieved. He comforted Jian Rongxin and said, "Miss Jian, please relax, there is still justice in this world."
Jian Rongxin slowly shook his head and said: "There is no justice and morality. My heart is dead and I have nothing else to ask for. I just hope that the young master can fulfill my one wish."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Miss Jian, please tell me."
Jian Rong thought: "I want to go to Donglin Academy and have a look."
Hu Xiaotian originally thought that she would make a request to pay homage to her father Jian Xihe, but he did not expect that she just wanted to go to Donglin Academy. This request was not too much.
Jian Rongxin opened a wooden box and inside was a human skin mask, which was a gift from Qin Yutong. She said softly: "Miss Qin may be going on a trip for a few days this time. She gave me this thing as a gift.
It can deceive people.”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said softly: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It's really time for us to change places."
Donglin Academy is not a royal academy, but an ordinary civilian academy in Yongdu City. When Xue Shengkang was in power, he vigorously promoted literary and moral education in the country. This matter was left to the university student Jian Xihe, and Donglin Academy.
Lin Academy is the first academy opened by Jian Xihe in Dayong. The significance of Donglin Academy is that from now on, children from the poor are eligible to enter the academy and can receive instruction from talented scholars from the Hanlin Academy. Famous people will be arranged at regular intervals.
Talented and learned scholars came to give lectures.
It’s just that this matter has not been implemented consistently. After Heihu attacked northern Xinjiang, the theory that studying in Dayong was useless once again became popular. Many scholars began to abandon literature and practice martial arts in order to protect their families and the country. The direction of the court also deviated.
Despite the original intention of running a school, even Donglin Academy fell into the predicament of suspension due to the neglect of the imperial court. Before his death, bachelor Jian Xihe still worked in many ways in the hope that the imperial court would pay attention to running a school. Unfortunately, his wish was not fulfilled.
If it is not achieved, people have already encountered unexpected events.
The snow has stopped for a few days, but no one has cleaned the snow at the door of Donglin Academy. The old man in charge of the door was also wrapped in an old cotton jacket and huddled in front of the stove in the ear room, taking a nap when he heard the third knock on the door.
When there was a sound, the old man reluctantly got up and opened the door, and saw a young man and woman in front of the door. The old man said sleepily: "What are you doing? There are no students in this academy anymore."
The visitors were Hu Xiaotian and Jian Rongxin after their disguises. Hu Xiaotian smiled, revealing a pair of straight white teeth. Although he had gone through the disguise, his smile was still infectious enough. Of course, he also had something that was easier to impress people.
Silver. An ingot worth five taels of gold was handed to the old man's hand. The old gatekeeper hurriedly held it. It was cold, but his heart was filled with excitement: "This young man... what are you doing..."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's convenient for me, old man. I used to study in Donglin Academy for a few days in the past. Today I came to Yongdu to visit some teachers and revisit my old place."
The old man sighed and said: "Then what kind of teacher is there? There is not even a single student left. It's so cold and freezing, so what's there to see? The young master seems to be a kind person. I can't let you run away in vain after coming all the way."
One time." The old man opened the door and glanced at Jian Rongxin again. Jian Rongxin recognized this old man. She had no experience in disguise. She was worried about being recognized by the old man, so she lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
go.
Seeing her reaction, Hu Xiaotian already guessed her mental state at this time. He smiled and said to the old man: "Does the old man recognize his wife?"
The old man shook his head and said: "You are rude, little old man." Even though he is the gatekeeper of the academy, he also knows the principle of not looking at anything inappropriate. He yawned and said: "You two, you can just look at it, little old man, continue to warm yourself by the fire.
Go, help me close the courtyard door when you leave."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, and walked into the academy with Jian Rongxin. Hu Xiaotian certainly had no special attachment to Donglin Academy, but Jian Rongxin was completely different. She once lived in Donglin Academy with her father for a period of time.
, has deep feelings for every plant and tree here. When she came to the courtyard where they lived in the past, she couldn't help but burst into tears while stroking the arborvitae in the courtyard. This arborvitae was made by her and her father.
Planted, my father's character is like this arborvitae tree that is noble and would rather break than bend!
Hu Xiaotian looked at Jian Rongxin from a distance and didn't know how to persuade her. He didn't know what happened between Li Chenzhou and Jian Rongxin, and it was hard to imagine how this once loving couple could suddenly part ways.
And Li Chenzhou's cold-bloodedness and cruelty were even more unpredictable. If he hadn't happened to see Jian Rongxin walking alone in the snow that night, maybe Jian Rongxin would have died in the massacre.
A lot of time has passed since the palace incident occurred, and Hu Xiaotian also learned a lot of news. In addition to the palace incident that occurred in Ci'en Garden, there was also a group of veterans in Yongdu who had trouble that night, including Jian Xi.
He, and the Duke of Jing, Li Mingfu, but the difference is that Jian Xihe was killed, while Li Mingfu committed suicide. According to Li Chenzhou, Jian Xihe's murder was part of Xue Shengjing's plan to usurp the throne. And Hu Xiaotian was more willing to believe this.
Both incidents were related to Li Chenzhou, and this idea was confirmed by King Xue Shengjing of Yan. The deaths of these two people were related to their firm support for the Empress Dowager. Li Chenzhou decisively chose to remove obstacles, even at the expense of his relatives.
Hu Xiaotian asked himself that he was not as cold-blooded as Li Chenzhou, but he would not have done such a thing. Politics and power would make a person cold-blooded. He was used to seeing examples of this, but fortunately his change was not big.
, perhaps because he is familiar with history, because he can look at problems from the perspective of a bystander. Compared with most people of this era, he understands the laws of social development better. In the final analysis, it is because his ambitions are not imaginary.
Although powerful, he is still an outsider in this world.
Thinking of his own origin, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips. An outsider? He has long been gone. Now he has long been integrated into this world, his life, his feelings, his relatives, his friends, everything.
Everything about him has been deeply imprinted by this era. He never thought about changing the world from the beginning. He just wanted to live comfortably in this world. This seemingly simple request really made a difference.
It is extremely difficult to implement. If you don't experience it personally, who can imagine what it feels like.
Jian Rongxin stayed in Donglin Academy for half an hour. When leaving, Hu Xiaotian wanted to say goodbye to the old man. When he arrived in front of the door, he heard the old man snoring heavily. He was obviously asleep. Hu Xiaotian had no intention of disturbing others.
Meng, Jian Rongxin and Jian Rongxin left the academy quietly and closed the door. The place where they settled was the Nanfeng Inn not far away, so they chose to walk there instead of taking a car.
As soon as they left Donglin Academy, they saw a motorcade approaching in front of them. Passers-by ducked on both sides of the road, and the two of them also blended into the crowd. Passers-by whispered, and seeing the formation of the motorcade, they knew that they were no ordinary people.
Jian Rongxin raised her eyes and looked up. When she saw one person in the motorcade clearly, her eyes widened and her body trembled. Hu Xiaotian was keenly aware of her violent reaction and followed her gaze. What he saw was exactly
Li Chenzhou is wearing a black outfit and looks high-spirited. No wonder Jian Rongxin has such a reaction.
Hu Xiaotian screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He was worried that Jian Rongxin would lose control of her emotions. He hurriedly approached her, stretched out his hand, and held her arm. Only then did he feel that Jian Rongxin's delicate body was trembling slightly, not with fear but with anger.
Hu Xiaotian used the message to enter the secret and said to Jian Rong: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan!" (To be continued.)
