Li Chenzhou did not hesitate and nodded readily: "I agreed to this matter, but I also want the commander to promise me one thing. After I help rescue Liu Yucheng, the commander must ensure that he leaves Dayong. He will not be allowed to leave Dayong in this life."
Set foot in Dayong's territory." His words were decisive and there was no room for maneuver.
Yuchi Chong was secretly happy. As long as Li Chenzhou could release Liu Yucheng, this was not a harsh condition at all. He expressed his attitude in a low voice: "I will return to Northern Xinjiang immediately after solving this matter. As for Liu Yucheng, I will send someone to take him away."
Send Dayong away, and if he appears in Dayong's territory again, I will never care whether he is dead or alive."
Li Chenzhou smiled slightly, and the two of them had reached an agreement. In fact, it was only a temporary measure to stabilize Yuchichong. Both Dayong and he had to rely on Yuchichong to block the Black Hu people's attack. Once he waited for him to defeat the people in Dayong,
When the situation stabilizes, he will immediately start depriving Yuchichong of his military power and use his own confidants to replace Yuchichong. By then, Yuchichong will be worthless.
Yuchichong asked again: "Why does King Yan want to harm me?"
Li Chenzhou said: "He is probably colluding with the Black Hu people!"
Zongtang took Hu Xiaotian and Yuchi Pinting along the trail to the Imperial Forest. Looking at the location of the work shed from the hillside, Li Chenzhou and Yuchi Chong talked for a long time but did not come out. Yuchi Pinting couldn't help but feel worried and said: "
I wonder what they are talking about? Will Li Chenzhou be harmful to my father?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Li Chenzhou is such a shrewd person. He came to see the commander-in-chief most likely to persuade him to return to northern Xinjiang to fight against the Black Hus."
Yuchi Pinting looked at Hu Xiaotian. She had never seen Hu Xiaotian's original appearance. Now Hu Xiaotian appeared in front of her in a disguised form. Although he was tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his skin was dark, and his whole body was
With a sense of rusticity, Yuchi Binting thought to herself, I wonder why my sister Shengnan fell in love with him? He doesn't seem to have anything outstanding? He couldn't help but think of Liu Yucheng. Compared with Liu Yucheng's elegant style, Hu Xiaotian is so different.
Far.
Hu Xiaotian felt a little uncomfortable being looked at naked by Yuchi Pinting. He coughed dryly and said, "Why is Miss Yuchi always staring at me?"
Yuchi Binting said: "I just want to see why my sister is so obsessed with you." After a pause, he added: "It doesn't look like there's anything outstanding about it!"
This girl was so outspoken that Zongtang couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile, looked up at the imperial mausoleum, and said softly: "This mausoleum should be the largest one?"
Zongtang nodded and said, "Not bad."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems to be a mountain?"
Zongtang said: "In the past, this place was called Niutoushan. After Emperor Jingde took a fancy to this place, he dug out the belly of the mountain to build an imperial mausoleum."
Yuchi Binting suddenly interrupted them and said: "He's gone, he's gone!"
Hu Xiaotian and Zong Tang looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Li Chenzhou leaving the work shed with a group of subordinates. They did not return to the work shed until the figures of those people completely disappeared in the dusk, and saw that Yu Chichong had already begun to clean up.
, Yuchi Binting said in surprise: "Dad, do you plan to leave?"
Yuchichong nodded and said: "The situation in Northern Xinjiang is not optimistic. The Governor asked me to prepare as soon as possible so that I can receive the imperial edict soon." Yuchichong knew very well that Li Chenzhou's meaning represented the imperial court's meaning, no matter what Xue Daoming liked.
Or not, it has become a foregone conclusion that he will return to Northern Xinjiang. Yuchichong returned to Yongdu not only to express his attitude, but also to observe the current political situation in Dayong with his own eyes. Only by seeing with his own eyes can he make a correct judgment. He turned to Zongtang Dao
: "Li Chenzhou has promised me that he will let Liu Yucheng go."
"Really?" Yuchi Binting was even more surprised. Now everyone could see that her feelings for Liu Yucheng were definitely extraordinary.
Yu Chichong nodded and said to Hu Xiaotian: "I have a few words to say to you alone."
Zongtang and Yuchi Pinting withdrew knowingly. Hu Xiaotian and Yuchi Chong were the only two people left in the work shed. Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Father-in-law, please speak."
Yuchi Chong sighed and said, "I understand what you are thinking, but do you understand what I am thinking?"
"Juniors are all ears!"
Yuchichong said: "I only want to do things with a clear conscience in my life. However, after more than half my life, I have just discovered that I have not done anything well. In the eyes of Dakang, I have been branded as a traitor. In the eyes of Dakang, I have
I am not a loyal minister either. I came to Yongdu this time to meet with the emperor. The emperor has high hopes for me, hoping that I can protect the Holy Emperor, eliminate traitors and revitalize Dayong, but I dare not agree."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. It was a wise move for Yu Chichong not to agree to Xue Daoming's request. If he agreed to stand on Xue Daoming's position, he would definitely become Li Chenzhou's enemy. Li Chenzhou would never allow such a powerful enemy to live in the world.
Yuchi said: "Li Chenzhou came to see me just now, intending to test my stance. You should be able to guess what I said."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. My father-in-law is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. No matter what decision you make, my son-in-law will support you."
Yuchichong smiled bitterly and said: "I am neither a hero nor a person who cares about the overall situation. All I want in my heart is to protect myself, my relatives and friends. Morally, I should choose to contend with him, but if I do that
Choice, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to return to Northern Xinjiang. If I don't return to Northern Xinjiang, the morale of the troops in Northern Xinjiang will inevitably be weakened. Even if we can withstand the Black Hu people's attack, our soldiers will suffer heavy losses."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The dispute in the court is just a trivial matter. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Da Yong is not Da Yong of the Xue family, and Dakang is not Dakang of the Long family. The land of the Central Plains does not belong to them."
The real master of any one of them is the millions of people who thrive on this land. The choice made by my father-in-law is the overall choice. If you don’t lead the army to block the Black Hu people’s cavalry, let alone Dayong, there will be no one.
Even the people throughout the Central Plains will be slaughtered by war."
Yuchichong smiled calmly and said: "Listening to what you said, I feel a little better. Li Chenzhou's courtesy to me is just a temporary measure. His real intention is to stabilize the defense line in northern Xinjiang. Only in this way can he free up his hands to strengthen it."
From the perspective of power in Dayong's country, wouldn't I have become his accomplice? A hundred years later, how could I have the face to face my adoptive mother and the late emperor?" Although Yuchi had made his choice clear,
Chong was still suffering in his heart.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Commander, you don't need to think too much, just do the things in front of you and do your job well."
Yuchi Chong nodded and said: "I am nearly sixty years old, and my deadline is not far away. Whether I am loyal or an adulterer will be judged by others after my death. Xiaotian, since you call me father-in-law, I will recognize you as my son-in-law. I will accept you as my son-in-law."
The most cherished things in my life are my two daughters. Shengnan is now out of danger. She knows how to advance and retreat. Now that you are by her side, I have nothing to worry about. As for Bingting..." Yuchi...
Chong paused here.
"Bingting has a straightforward and simple temperament. She has been growing up under my protection. She does not understand the hardships of the world at all. It is not convenient for me to take her with me when I go to northern Xinjiang, let alone leave her in Yongdu. Everyone knows that she is me
If you want to harm me, you must start with her first." Yuchi Chong's eyes were filled with a layer of deep worry.
Hu Xiaotian already understood that Yuchi Chong obviously wanted to entrust Yuchi Pinting to him.
Yuchi Chong said: "She and Liu Yucheng had a good impression of each other. Mr. Liu expressed his intention to marry me many times during his lifetime, but I have always been reluctant to let go of this daughter, so I did not agree. Now that Mr. Liu has passed away,
I am ready to help him fulfill this wish. Li Chenzhou promised me that I would release Yucheng, and I would arrange for my subordinates to escort Yucheng to Dongliang County. As for Bettinging, I want you to bring her to Shengnan and reunite with Yucheng."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Xiaotian will make arrangements for this matter, but Pinting may not be willing to follow my arrangements."
Yu Chichong said: "I will discuss our interests with her, but we are going to Dongliang County, where the mountains are high and the rivers are long. I'm afraid there will be trouble on the way."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I have a way to take them away safely." With a snow sculpture and a flying owl, it is not easy to transport two people out without anyone noticing.
Hu Xiaotian and Yuchi Chong had been talking about the twilight that had just ended. He did not bring up the idea of making Yuchichong defect. From Yuchichong's arrangement of these things, it is not difficult to see that Yuchichong had already planned everything carefully and he was unwilling to intervene in Dayong's court.
The war between Tang and Tang does not mean that he is willing to betray Dayong and seek refuge with him. Returning to Northern Xinjiang is Yuchi Chong's best choice.
Zongtang was always waiting for Hu Xiaotian outside. When Hu Xiaotian came out, he and Hu Xiaotian bid farewell to Yuchi Chong together. After leaving the work shed, Zongtang whispered: "I will show you something."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zong Tang with some surprise. He thought they were leaving the imperial mausoleum now. Zong Tang's behavior was a bit abnormal today. It seemed that coming to the imperial mausoleum was not just about bringing him to see Yuchi Chong.
Zongtang said: "Do you still remember that time the winged armor warriors raided the blacksmith shop?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Of course he remembered that if he hadn't helped that time, Zong Tang's craftsmen would have suffered heavy casualties. After repelling the winged armor warriors, he and Liu Yucheng worked together to treat many injured.
Zongtang said: "Follow me!"
Hu Xiaotian followed Zongtang and left the imperial mausoleum construction site, picked up their horses and headed west.
Hu Xiaotian didn't know where Zongtang was going, but he trusted Zongtang very much and knew that Zongtang would never harm him. The two of them ran all the way to the foot of the mountain about ten miles northwest of the imperial mausoleum, where they had left the protection of the mausoleum.
In the area where the guards were on guard, night had completely fallen. Zongtang pointed to the mountain in front of him and said, "This is called Black Camel Mountain!" (To be continued.) m.
