Although there are many coincidences in this world, they never come one after another. Many people understand this truth, but only few people connect these coincidences. Hu Xiaotian has always been a lazy person, especially in such a hot summer,
He really wanted to find a shade tree and have a good sleep comfortably, but the situation prevented him from stopping.≥
After having a deep conversation with Hu Xiaotian, Murong Zhan became even more silent. He deliberately avoided Hu Xiaotian and was too lazy to deal with this kid again.
Hu Xiaotian is not worried that Murong Zhan will harm him. He can almost conclude that Murong Zhan and Hu Buwei have colluded for a long time. At least now there is no conflict between his and Hu Buwei's interests. Thinking of Hu Buwei, he can't help but think of Mrs. Xu
, is Murong Zhan also one of the fire types created by Mrs. Xu?
Although the old lady told him many secrets, Hu Xiaotian could not trust her. A clever liar would never lie. They would even tell you 99% of the truth, including only one lie, and this lie
It's exactly fatal.
Li Tianheng's death shocked many people. People came to express condolences one after another. The first person to express condolences was actually the horse thief from Tianlang Mountain. Li Tianheng and Yan Kui had been fighting for so many years, but in the end it was he who left first. Sharjah Kingdom
As the son-in-law of Li Tianheng, the eighth prince Hogg naturally came to attend the funeral. Before the earthquake in Xichuan, Li Tianheng sent people to ask for help. Hogg avoided the envoy and obviously had no intention of helping Xichuan. However, he did not bring his wife this time.
It is said that his wife came here because she heard that her father was killed and became seriously ill. She is now bedridden, so Hogg could only come alone.
South Vietnam, which had occupied most of its territory by the Sharjahs, also sent envoys.
On the day Hu Xiaotian and his entourage arrived in Xizhou, another wave of aftershocks occurred in Xizhou. Although the damage caused was not great, it still caused frightened people to flock to streets and squares and other open places. They would rather sleep outside than go back to live.
.
The Xizhou in front of me was very different from the previous memories. However, although the streets were chaotic, the queues of patrolling soldiers were very neat. It seemed that the soldiers in Xichuan were not disturbed by the death of Li Tianheng. After Hu Xiaotian entered Xizhou, he and Murong Zhan
After they separated, they agreed before entering the city to take two days to figure out the situation, and then decide how to express their condolences to Li Tianheng. Before that, the most important thing was to ensure the safety of King Zhou.
In fact, Hu Xiaotian and Murong Zhan both had their own things to do, and they lacked trust in each other. It was easier for each other to do things separately. The two agreed on a place to meet, and after entering Xizhou City, they went their separate ways.
Hu Xiaotian was no stranger to the city of Xizhou, and Meng Guangxiong was even more familiar with the Xichuan area. When he went to contact the disciples of the Beggar Gang in Xizhou, Hu Xiaotian went to Baicaotang alone to visit his old friend Zhou Wenju.
When I arrived at the door of Baicaotang, I saw a long queue. Because the earthquake caused too many casualties, Baicaotang was busy almost day and night during this period.
Hu Xiaotian saw that others were queuing up in an orderly manner. If he entered through the front door, he would definitely arouse public outrage. He walked around in a circle to the back wall, crossed the wall slightly and entered the backyard. There was no one in the backyard. He saw that there was no one on both sides.
Houses had collapsed. When they walked out of the backyard, they heard the medicine boy in front of them reminding everyone: "Please keep your voice down, sir. He hasn't slept for three days. He just fell asleep. Let him take a rest." Sure enough, it became quiet outside.
Zhou Wenju was highly respected in Xizhou. During this period, he worked tirelessly to diagnose and treat the people, and all the people saw it.
Hu Xiaotian took advantage of someone's unpreparedness and quietly climbed up the small building to the second floor. Sure enough, he heard slight snoring. Looking through the open window, he saw Zhou Wenju lying on the bamboo couch, sleeping soundly. Next to him sat a little medicine boy fanning him.
Hu Xiaotian quietly walked in and gently tapped the drug boy's sleeping point. The drug boy fell down softly. He caught the fan and fanned Zhou Wenju twice, and then decided to wake him up and patted Zhou Wenju's chest. Zhou Wenju turned around on the bed and was still asleep. Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to whisper in his ear: "Sir, a patient is here!"
This move was so effective that Zhou Wenju sat up from the couch in one fell swoop: "Is it an emergency?" He opened his sleepy eyes and realized something was wrong. After taking a closer look, he recognized that the person in front of him turned out to be a young man he hadn't seen for a long time. Looking at Hu Xiaotian, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and said with shock: "Is this a dream?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, don't you recognize me?"
Zhou Wenju said: "How could it be? How dare you forget!" His eyes fell on the sleeping child on the ground.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, I'm just trying to make this child sleep for a while."
Zhou Wenju sighed, picked up the medicine boy and placed him on the bamboo couch: "It's time to sleep for a while. Everyone in Baicao Hall has been very busy these days." He turned around and said with a smile: " Mr. Hu...uh, by the way, the common people should call you Prince now."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr. Zhou helped me save my life. Never say such kind words again in the future."
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Let's go next door and have a cup of herbal tea!"
When he came to the study room next door, he poured a cup of herbal tea for Hu Xiaotian and handed it over with both hands. Hu Xiaotian took it respectfully.
Zhou Wenju asked: "Master Hu came here this time for Marshal Li's affairs?" The two biggest events in Xichuan during this period were the earthquake and the death of Li Tianheng.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Yes, I came here to express my condolences on the order of the Dakang court."
Zhou Wenju didn't care much about politics. He just knew that Hu Xiaotian was already the Zhenhai King of Dakang and had recently married a princess. As for the relationship between Hu Xiaotian and Dakang, he didn't know much about it. Zhou Wenju said: "Young master, maybe you shouldn't come here." trip."
"Why?"
Zhou Wenju said: "Don't you know that the young master is now spreading rumors everywhere that the commander-in-chief was killed by killers sent by Dakang? The young commander has already threatened to lead his army into Kangdu to avenge the commander-in-chief."
Hu Xiaotian sneered. Although Li Honghan’s slogans were loud, it now seemed like they were just wishful thinking. With Xichuan’s current situation, it was difficult to protect oneself, let alone break into Kangdu. Hu Xiaotian was still very fond of Li Honghan, his brother-in-law. You know, this man is narrow-minded, cruel and selfish. When he fled Xiezhou, he almost died in his hands.
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Have all the Marshal's family returned?" What he really wanted to ask was Xiyan. Xiyan's real name was Li Wuyou, and she was Li Tianheng's daughter.
Zhou Wenju said: "I'm not sure, because the commander-in-chief was assassinated, so the commander-in-chief is investigating the matter. The commander-in-chief's mourning hall does not allow outsiders to come to express condolences. In fact, even if allowed, the people of Xizhou would not be in that state of mind." In the past few years, Xizhou has been deteriorating under the management of the Li family, so Li Tianheng's prestige and public support have also become worse and worse. The people are not as sad about his death as they imagined. In fact, many people are looking forward to the defeat of Xichuan and the return to Dakang as soon as possible. After all, the economy is recovering, and the people's eyes are bright.
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "Why did Li Honghan believe that the person who murdered his father was the killer sent by Dakang?"
Zhou Wenju said: "Evidence should have been found, otherwise he would not have concluded so. By the way, the young commander was also poisoned at that time."
"Poisoned?"
Zhou Wenju nodded and said: "To be precise, it should be a kind of drug that can make people feel soft all over."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Do you know the ingredients of this drug? Can you find out the source?"
Zhou Wenju said: "It should be Su Gu Powder from the Five Immortals Sect!"
Hu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The first thing he thought of was Xi Yan. But Xi Yan had no reason to harm her brother. What happened in this? Maybe we need to find the answer to all this from the Five Immortals Sect.
Li Honghan must also know about it. Hu Xiaotian did not think about it for the time being. He whispered: "Sir, do you have any news about King Zhou?"
Zhou Wenju shook his head and said: "I haven't heard anything about King Zhou for a long time. I only know that he lives in Qiuhua Palace.
Meng Guangxiong and Hu Xiaotian met at the agreed teahouse. Meng Guangxiong contacted his brothers at the Xizhou branch during the day and basically found out the general situation in Xizhou. After Li Tianheng's death, the overall situation in Xizhou was relatively calm. Li Honghan inherited
Afterwards, the power reused his sworn brother Yang Haoran and suppressed a group of peace negotiators headed by Yao Wenqi. Now most of these people have been thrown into prison on suspicion of colluding with Dakang to murder the family head. Another major event is the successive arrival of envoys from all parties.
, Sharjah, Nanyue, and Tianxiang all sent envoys to express their condolences.
South Vietnam's national destiny was already in jeopardy due to Sharjah's invasion, which did not attract much attention from Hu Xiaotian. Sharjah came to express condolences, which was expected. On the contrary, Tianxiang Kingdom came to express condolences, which made Hu Xiaotian a little curious. Tianxiang Kingdom and Xichuan
There is no land bordering each other, and the Hongmu River in the middle is Hu Xiaotian's own territory, and I have never heard of any interactions between them in the past. I wonder why Tianxiang Kingdom attaches great importance to this matter this time? What makes Hu Xiaotian even more puzzled
Yes, the envoy sent by Tianxiang Kingdom this time turned out to be Zhou Mo. Zhou Mo was his sworn brother in Xichuan and his most trusted friend in the world. However, he later betrayed him and single-handedly killed Long Xiyue.
He was kidnapped and taken to Tianxiang Kingdom, which was a huge blow to Hu Xiaotian. Although he and Long Xiyue finally got married, the rift between Hu Xiaotian and Zhou Mo has never been healed, and perhaps there will be no reconciliation in this life.
possible.
What really alarmed Hu Xiaotian was Tianxiang Kingdom's appointment of Zhou Mo. Various signs showed that Zhou Mo was undoubtedly Hu Buwei's man. Tianxiang Kingdom used Zhou Mo as its envoy, which can prove that Tianxiang Kingdom's Queen Mother Long Xuanjiao and Hu Buwei were
The relationship between them is still unbreakable. If all this is carried out under the control of Hu Buwei, then Tianxiang Kingdom, as the most important ally in the Golden Jade Alliance, will have great hidden dangers.
