Following Murong Zhan this time were the Sixteen Horsemen of the Whirlwind. These sixteen people were the most elite warriors around Murong Zhan. The mounts they rode were also horses that could travel thousands of miles a day. Only then could they ride in just two days.
From Kangdu to Yunyang.
However, their horses were of no use on the rest of the journey. They entered the mountainous area seventy miles west of Yunyang. The roads in the mountainous areas were rugged and steep, and many roads were interrupted due to the Xichuan earthquake not long ago. Unless these horses gave birth to twins,
Only then could he fly over the mountains and reach Xizhou.
Hu Xiaotian was mentally prepared for this and handed his mount to Liang Yinghao, who escorted them all the way.
Murong Zhan was deeply puzzled by their choice of this road, and couldn't help complaining to Hu Xiaotian: "If you follow my route, it will be much easier to go south and go around this road."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "This road is safer." He entered the hinterland of Dakang to the south. He was not that stupid. He accompanied the group of people deep into it, and he didn't know what kind of variables there would be. Although this road is steeper,
But it doesn’t pose much of a difficulty for warriors like them. When summer comes, Fei Xiao routinely flies to the north to escape the summer heat, leaving Hu Xiaotian without the fastest means of transportation. However, this is also beneficial, as he can investigate on the way.
The situation after the Nishikawa earthquake.
Although many refugees have fled to Hu Xiaotian's territory, it does not mean that the northeastern area of Xichuan is no longer empty. There are still some residents stationed there. Hu Xiaotian also previously sent a team of 20,000 people to the disaster area for rescue.
At the same time, they were also taking the opportunity to invade Xichuan's territory.
The two largest cities in the northeast of Xichuan, Fangjing and Qingluan, are now under Hu Xiaotian's control.
After trekking in the mountains for two days, they arrived at Qingluan City. Almost all the roads from Qingluan to the southwest were destroyed, but the straight-line distance from Xizhou was only three hundred miles.
Qingluan was almost completely reduced to ruins. Soldiers who had just arrived here were stationed in the few remaining buildings in the city. Upon hearing the arrival of Hu Xiaotian and his entourage, the garrison hurriedly greeted them and vacated the most complete courtyard that night for Hu Xiaotian and others to rest.
After dinner, Hu Xiaotian went out for a walk and met Murong Zhan who was also going out. The two met their eyes and nodded slightly as a greeting. Although they had been walking together for the past few days, they had not exchanged more than three sentences with each other. Murong Zhan.
He has a cold temperament and is usually taciturn. What he saw along the way showed that Hu Xiaotian's power has penetrated into the northeastern part of Xichuan. From the current point of view, Hu Xiaotian is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of the Xichuan earthquake.
Murong Zhanzhan looked at the guard in front of the door and said: "At first, I didn't understand why the prince chose this path? Now I understand that the prince has already planned it."
Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said: "The Xichuan earthquake, the mountains collapsed, the roads were damaged, the people were displaced and struggling on the verge of death. As the King of Dakang Zhenhai, how can I turn a blind eye to these people?"
Murong Zhan secretly sneered in his heart. He said it so grandly, but he took advantage of the opportunity to seize the territory.
The two walked out of the courtyard together and saw that the city was full of ruins and devastation. Except for the occasional soldiers walking by, there were only some old people searching among the ruins. These old people were unable to leave and could only guard the abandoned building.
's city.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and the power of God is unpredictable!"
Murong Zhan said: "The prince is so young but he seems to have seen through the worldly things."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's not that I see through it, but I feel sad. The fight is just for the word power. Even if you truly become the only king above, what benefits will it bring to the people? In fact, why should everyone fight to the death?
? Put aside your prejudices, join hands with each other, and live a peaceful life for a few days. Wouldn't it be happy?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Murong Zhan's lips: "Fights have never stopped since ancient times. What you said only exists in ideals."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you were given a chance to start over, would you give up your current power and status and choose to live a peaceful life with your family?"
Murong Zhan was stunned by his question, his gray eyes dimmed, and he was silent for a while before saying: "There is nothing in this world that I care about."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I feel sad for Fei Yan!"
Murong Zhan said coldly: "She doesn't care what you think, to her you are just a passerby!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if I am just a passer-by, she will always remember me. She may have forgotten your existence in her heart."
Murong Zhan realized that Hu Xiaotian was deliberately provoking his anger, so he laughed: "Don't be too greedy as a person, greed is always harmful."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have always suspected something."
Murong Zhan said: "What do you suspect?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are there really parents in this world who don't love their children?"
Murong Zhan looked at Hu Xiaotian with ridicule: "It seems that your respected father didn't send you any blessings on your prince's wedding." Hu Xiaotian's phone call just now was intended to reveal the scars in Murong Zhan's heart, so Murong Zhan would never mind this opportunity to retaliate in kind.
.It is a fact known to the world that Hu Buwei abandoned Hu Xiaotian and his mother and fled from Dakang. Murong Zhan’s answer was very appropriate.
Hu Xiaotian didn't mind at all and said: "But the majority is always good. When Feiyan and I went to Xichuan, you should have played a role behind it. Later, when she went to guard the imperial mausoleum, it was you to protect her. As for why she did it later?
When I boarded the fleet heading to Luosong, I couldn't figure out why it disappeared, but then I gradually understood it after I went to Tianxiang Kingdom."
Murong Zhan looked at him quietly and said, "What do you understand?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Her father still cares about her very much. He may have guessed what will happen to this fleet in the end."
Murong Zhan's expression turned gloomy.
Hu Xiaotian took a step closer to him: "Feiyan is living a good life in Tianxiang Kingdom, and she actually found her mother."
There was a hint of cold murderous intent in Murong Zhan's gray eyes.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although there are many coincidences in this world, when several coincidences happen at the same time, people have to think more about it. I would rather believe that Feiyan's father cares about her, so he prepares for her in advance.
Everything has been arranged.”
Murong Zhan sneered and said: "Listening to what you said, this father is really omnipotent."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "How can there be so many unpredictable things in this world! The unpredictable is based on judgment based on various clues, and the other is pre-planning. This is called strategizing, but I can't figure out if one of the links goes wrong.
The problem is that everything will inevitably be lost. For example, the Luo Song fleet should suddenly go to the Tianxiang Kingdom. Did Fei Yan's father even know about this in advance? "
Murong Zhan's face was covered with a layer of frost.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "So I made a very unreliable guess. Fei Yan's father and my father had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was extraordinary. This can explain why I went to Xichuan,
Feiyan will escort me, which can also explain why Feiyan boarded the fleet heading to Luosong. The fleet finally arrived at Tianxiang Kingdom, which happened to make her and Su Yujin meet. I thought it was a coincidence.
, now it seems that Su Yujin must have received the news in advance."
Murong Zhan gritted his teeth and sneered: "You really have a rich imagination!"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I was originally a person who was too lazy to use my brain, but gradually I discovered that the conspiracy and calculations surrounding me were far beyond my imagination. Living in such a world, if I continue to be lazy and refuse to move,
Isn’t my brain going to die?”
Murong Zhan snorted coldly and said nothing.
Hu Xiaotian added: "It doesn't matter if I die? But aren't my wives going to be widows?"
Murong Zhan snorted again.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I know you want to kill me, but you don't dare. Because you love Fei Yan so much, you don't dare to do anything that makes her sad."
Murong Zhan said grimly: "There is a limit to any patience."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No matter how displeased you are with me, you can't deny the fact that I am your son-in-law, nor can you deny what happened between me and Fei Yan."
Murong Zhan's eyes widened, almost popping his gray eyes out. Hu Xiaotian's words were undoubtedly announcing to him that his daughter and the scoundrel boy in front of him had already cooked rice.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You are shameless!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am so in love that I can't extricate myself. If it weren't for Fei Yan, do you think I want to recognize you as my father-in-law?"
Murong Zhan was so angry at this guy that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He turned around and wanted to leave. Since he couldn't kill this guy, he had no choice but to hide.
But Hu Xiaotian had no intention of letting him go. He laughed and said, "Don't leave in a hurry!"
Murong Zhan turned his head angrily, stared at the boy fiercely and said, "What are you doing?" He wished he could rush up and bite the boy hard.
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Do others know about your hookup with Lao Hu?" Without waiting for Murong Zhan's answer, he added: "I am just asking a redundant question. Others must not know. Everyone has their own position.
What is your purpose?"
Murong Zhan said coldly: "A person's life can be short-lived if he is too curious."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Kill me? It doesn't seem necessary, and you don't have the ability."
Murong Zhan said: "You always feel so good about yourself. Do you think you are smart? Can you see through everything?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not that I'm smart. In fact, I'm still a little bit behind-the-scenes. I should have seen the flaw in this matter a long time ago. Where do so many coincidences come from in this world!"
Last update, the weather is getting hotter. Please pay attention to your health and don’t catch a cold like an old octopus.
