Chapter 743 [Ground breaking on the head of Tai Sui] (1)
Back then, Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to break off the engagement. Now that the relationship between the two parties has just shown signs of easing, this guy sent a wedding invitation. His real intention was to humiliate Qiqi and anger Qiqi. Quan De'an was worried about Qiqi but at the same time he was a little lucky. The authorities were confused.
Bystanders knew that he had always thought that Qiqi's love for Hu Xiaotian was still lingering, and it was not easy to persuade him about such a sensitive matter, for fear of offending the cold-tempered little master. But now that Hu Xiaotian is doing this, if he takes the initiative to cut off his love,
It's not a bad thing for Qiqi.
When Shi Xuedong went out, Quan De'an said cautiously: "Your Highness, why not go for a walk and relax!"
Qiqi nodded and walked down slowly. Quan De'an followed her respectfully. The two of them left the palace gate one after another. Qiqi raised his eyes to look at the gloomy sky and whispered: "It seems to be going on."
It's raining."
"Spring rain is as precious as oil and is a good thing for crops. It seems that this year will be another good year."
Qiqi said: "I wonder if it will rain on the eighth day of May?"
Quan De'an didn't know that the eighth day of May was the day of Hu Xiaotian's wedding, so he couldn't help but be startled.
Qiqi said: "He invited me to attend his wedding, his wedding to Princess Yingyue!" Although her tone was calm, she felt her heart twisting every time she said a word. She clearly realized that
He was jealous, but Hu Xiaotian had successfully stimulated him.
Quan De'an said: "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
Qiqi said: "You are right. I have been trapped in this palace for too long. It's time to go out for a walk."
Quan De'an was shocked: "Is Her Royal Highness the Princess really planning to attend his wedding?"
Qiqi said: "If he can successfully hold it!"
Hu Xiaotian basically spent this time at Shazhou Racecourse. He lived a carefree life. He read books and practiced martial arts on weekdays. In his free time, he rode horses and went outing with Long Xiyue, Tang Qingxuan and Jian Rongxin. Jian
Since Rong Xin left Dayong, she has become much more cheerful.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Long Xiyue and Jian Rongxin were nestling next to Hu Xiaotian, sitting on the grass hill of the Shazhou Racecourse, quietly looking at the stars.
Long Xiyue said: "Sister Shengnan has gone to Northern Xinjiang, so she should be almost there."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Jian Rong thought: "I really don't understand why she refused to let Mr. Xia see her off?" She came here from Dayong thanks to Xia Changming's escort. She rode a snow sculpture all the way and experienced that incredible experience.
After the flight, Jian Rongxin's perception of distance was greatly subverted.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I always feel that Shengnan seems to have something on her mind. She went to Northern Xinjiang not just to visit her adoptive father."
Long Xiyue bit her lips and said, "When you say that, I'm a little worried about her."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shengnan's martial arts have improved very quickly, and his archery skills are outstanding and his intelligence is superb. He has the ability to protect himself even if he encounters danger."
Long Xiyue said: "I really envy Sister Shengnan. She can be on her own and doesn't have to cause you trouble all the time."
Hu Xiaotian burst out laughing: "Your dog-beating stick skills are also very good, but you are indifferent and aloof from the world. Otherwise, with your understanding, how difficult would it be to become a top master?"
Jian Rong felt secretly ashamed that he was the one who caused Hu Xiaotian the most trouble. He barely understood martial arts. Moreover, he had been married before, so what qualifications did he have to be on an equal footing with others.
Long Xiyue was extremely thoughtful. Seeing Jian Rongxin's expression, she knew that her words had made her think too much. He reached out and took Jian Rongxin's hand and said, "Sister Xin, let's go to the spring to get some water. I
A little thirsty."
Hu Xiaotian smiled as he watched the two girls leave together. Jian Rongxin still had an inferiority complex deep in her heart, but Long Xiyue was generous to others. With her help, I believe Jian Rongxin would be able to untie her knot soon.
At this time, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats caught Hu Xiaotian's attention. He raised his eyes and looked up, only to see a horse galloping towards his position in the distance. She was dressed in black and had a hot figure. It was Tang Qingxuan.
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart. Tang Qingxuan originally agreed to go out with them to play, but she stayed because of something unexpected at the racecourse. Now it seems that the matter has been completed. This girl is always so impatient.
But when Tang Qingxuan came closer, Hu Xiaotian saw that her face was full of tears. He couldn't help being startled, and stood up to greet her.
Tang Qingxuan turned over and dismounted, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaotian, my eldest brother... eldest brother... he..." She fainted before she could finish her words.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly hugged her and stretched out his thumb to press her body. Tang Qingxuan finally woke up leisurely and said sadly: "My eldest brother was killed...even his head...was cut off."
..." At this point, she couldn't go on anymore, buried her head in Hu Xiaotian's arms and cried loudly.
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart. Ever since the Tang family ran the Shazhou Racecourse for him, Tang Tiehan had been mainly responsible for selling horses. Over the years, he had made great contributions to Hu Xiaotian through ups and downs. Not only that, he was also Hu Xiaotian's brother-in-law. Unexpectedly, he would fall into the trap.
He ended up with his body and head in a different place.
Hu Xiaotian waited until Tang Qingxuan's mood stabilized before continuing to ask. It turned out that Tang Tiehan went to Yulan Country to sell horses and passed through Ankang Grassland. Unfortunately, the horse team encountered horse thieves. Not only were the horses they trafficked robbed, but the other party also placed a price on them.
After receiving the killing order, Tang Tiehan led his soldiers in a bloody battle, but in the end they were still outnumbered by the enemy. Tang Tiehan was shot to death by random arrows and his head was cut off.
The few soldiers who were lucky enough to escape escaped and went back to pick up his body. In the end, only six of the 300-man horse team escaped death. The rest were all beheaded by horse thieves and abandoned in the wilderness.
.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but became furious when he heard this, and he immediately returned to the headquarters of Shazhou Racecourse with Tang Qingxuan. Tang Wenzheng was in tears when the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away. The third son, Tang Tiexin, had not come back because he was out on business, and the second son, Tang Tiecheng, was in the office.
He was furious, his eyes were red from crying, and he was gathering people to go to Ankang Grassland for revenge. No one could persuade him to stop him.
Although Tang Tiecheng had a violent temper, he was very fond of Hu Xiaotian. When he saw Hu Xiaotian coming back, he immediately calmed down a little. He wiped away tears and said: "Master, my eldest brother was killed, and there are nearly three hundred brothers. I want to
Go to Ankang Grassland and drive out all those thieves."
Hu Xiaotian reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "Tie Cheng, calm down first." He came to Tang Wenzheng and saw that Tang Wenzheng seemed to be much older instantly. He sighed softly and said: "Uncle Tang,
Please express my condolences and please take care of yourself."
Tang Wenzheng raised his head and looked at Hu Xiaotian. Before he could speak, he burst into tears again. He turned around and wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said sadly: "Who can be so cruel that... he didn't even leave the whole body...
…”
Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Uncle Tang, please deal with Brother Tang's death first. You don't have to worry about other things. I will definitely give you justice."
After Hu Xiaotian comforted the Tang family, he went outside and called the six soldiers who had narrowly escaped. These six soldiers also had bruises and swollen faces. However, they were not injured in the battle in Ankang Grassland. Instead, they took Tang Tiehan with them.
After the body of Tang Tiehan came back, he was beaten up by the violent Tang Tiecheng. Speaking of which, these people were also innocent. They took the risk to escort Tang Tiehan's headless body back. Instead of receiving a reward, they were beaten severely. However, they
Don't hold any grudges, after all, Tang Tiecheng lost his brother, so it's understandable that he would behave like this out of control in his grief.
Several people came to Hu Xiaotian and knelt down: "Master, we failed to protect Mr. Tang, please punish me!"
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed what happened when he saw the looks on their faces, and sighed: "I can't blame you for this. You worked so hard to get back the body of Manager Tang, and escorted it here in a dusty way. Not only did you have no fault, but you also made merit.
"
When several people heard what Hu Xiaotian said, they felt relieved. Thinking of their dead brothers and the grievance of being beaten up just now, they all shed tears.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You guys will tell me in detail what happened, and do you know where these horse thieves came from?"
Most of the situations they described were similar to Tang Qingxuan's. One of them said: "Those horse thieves were all dressed in black and masked. We didn't see their faces clearly. Some of them talked nonsense."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. This was a clue. He asked: "Nonsense? Do you understand which language it is?" Several people shook their heads at the same time. The interpreter in their cavalry also died in this robbery.
, none of them could understand the Chinese language.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Did you resist at that time?"
One of them said: "At that time, when we saw that the other party had a large number of people, Manager Tang said that the goods could be lost, and at least we could find a way to get them back in the future. He told us to stay calm and not act rashly. He said that the horses and property could be taken away by horse thieves.
But we never expected that those horse thieves would kill us all. After they started killing us, we rose up to resist... Mr. Tang is in charge of him..."
Hu Xiaotian was filled with anger. The methods of these horse thieves were really cruel. If you think about it for a moment, this incident was unusual. His horse team had always been doing business openly. No one on the road to the west knew about him.
With Hu Xiaotian's reputation, no one dared to take advantage of his goods, let alone kill all his men after snatching the goods. It was most likely a long-planned revenge.
Prime Minister Hu Xiaotian was thinking of Jicheng. After Guo Guangbi was defeated in Xingzhou, he led his remnants to settle down in Jicheng. He relied on the Ankang Prairie to engage in horse thieves and took over Xingzhou, his hometown. Could it be that he planned it?
To avenge himself for this massacre? The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more likely it became. He couldn't let go of Tang Tiehan's matter, not only because of his relationship with the Tang family, but also because he wanted to prove to the world that no one dared to touch him. Hu Xiaotian
Those who do this will be punished and retaliated tenfold!
