Politics, like life, is a process of constant falling out and reconciliation, forming alliances for the sake of interests, and breaking up for the sake of interests. Common interests can bring both parties together quickly, but for the sake of interests, they can also fight with swords and even fight to the death. Life is a war.
Experience, only if you experience more, will you understand that there are fewer and fewer things in this world, and precisely because of this, you must know how to cherish it. The more you experience, you will learn to hide your likes and dislikes, and your joys and anger will not be visible.
Sex is the most basic requirement for every politician.
Although Hu Xiaotian doesn't like Hogg, and even though he has been sworn sworn friends for a long time, he still remembers that when he came to Xichuan to pay homage to Li Tianheng, Hogg and Xue Shengjing teamed up to murder him.
The most trustworthy person was Hogg. Hu Xiaotian intuitively felt that there must be a mystery behind Tianxiang Kingdom's sending of people.
Hogg stayed at the Xuanning Posthouse this time. This posthouse was also a place where Xizhou entertained distinguished guests. However, the treatment he received when he came here was still different. In the past, he stayed directly in the commander's mansion. On the surface, it seemed that
It had something to do with his wife not coming with him, but in fact it was a kind of neglect towards him.
Hogg was keenly aware of the changes here. After arriving in Xizhou, he also rationally chose to be cautious in his words and deeds. Except for going to Li Tianheng's mourning hall once to express his condolences, he never took the initiative to enter the Marshal's Mansion.
Although Li Tianheng died many days ago, his funeral was never held. It is said that he was waiting for his daughter who was married to Sharjah to come back. This time Hogg came on behalf of his wife, only to find that things inside Xichuan were far more complicated than he imagined.
Much more.
Hu Xiaotian's appointment was a timely blessing for Hogg. He also needed someone to join forces. Although Sharjah has never stopped infiltrating Xichuan over the years, after all, as foreigners, it is not that easy for them to truly integrate into this land.
Easy. Sharjah showed considerable sincerity by sending a viewing group when Hu Xiaotian got married. According to Sharjah Khan Sangmuza, nothing can be accomplished overnight. If Sharjah wants to complete the feat of taking over the Central Plains, it must be patient.
With their temper, they spent ten or even decades clearly proposing a strategy of distant friendship and close attack. Their current main target is South Vietnam. They have now occupied more than half of the land of South Vietnam. According to the current war situation, one year
Within a short period of time, they could complete the plan to destroy South Vietnam. Xichuan was just their next target, but before they had time to launch their plan to invade Xichuan, the situation in Xichuan suddenly changed dramatically.
The purpose of Hogg's trip is definitely not to express condolences. He is tasked with finding out the situation in Xichuan. Compared with South Vietnam, Xichuan is the real fat. Sharjah must not just watch this piece of fat be used by other forces.
carve up.
When Hu Xiaotian came to Xichuan to pay homage to Li Tianheng's birthday, he had stayed at Xuanning Inn and was quite familiar with everything there. He asked Meng Guangxiong to deliver a personal letter from him to Hogg.
After receiving his handwritten letter, Hogg did not hesitate at all and came to the Baiwei Building opposite the post house as promised, where he and Hu Xiaotian had met last time.
The entire Baiwei Building was empty. There were no other guests except them. Hu Xiaotian booked the entire Baiwei Building in advance today.
Hogg walked into the private room and saw a man standing in front of the window with his back turned, looking out at the street scene. He recognized Hu Xiaotian from the figure. He couldn't help laughing: "My good brother, you are so good today."
Big deal!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and turned around: "Brother, are you okay?"
Perhaps because of the wind and sun on the plateau, Hogg looked much weathered compared to the last time we met. There was actually a little white hair on his temples, and there were multiple shocking scars on his eyebrows.
Hogg said: "It's not bad."
The two sat opposite each other and drank three bowls of wine first. Hogg wiped the wine stains from his lips and said, "Although you and I are worlds apart these years, Brother Yu is always paying attention to brother's news and every achievement of brother.
, every happy event makes me, the eldest brother, proud and happy!"
Hu Xiaotian filled the wine bowl, picked up the wine bowl and said, "I would like to toast this bowl of wine to my eldest brother. Thank you so much for sending a viewing group all the way to my wedding."
Hogg picked up the bowl of wine and drank it, and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to go there in person, but unfortunately the war in South Vietnam was intense, and I really couldn't get away, so I had to ask Herdan to go on my behalf.
I hope brothers don’t blame me!”
"how come!"
Hogg slowly put down the wine bowl, looked Hu Xiaotian up and down and said, "Brother, you are really brave. You dare to come to Xichuan under such circumstances."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why don't I dare to come?"
Hogg said: "My father-in-law is said to have been assassinated by assassins sent by Dakang." The implication is that you are the king of Dakang Zhenhai, and you dare to show up at this time. Are you risking your life?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother said it was just rumors, but after thinking about it, there is no evidence. Although I accept the canonization of Dakang, I have never asked about the affairs of the Dakang court. Brother must be aware of this."
Of course Hogg knew it. He looked at Hu Xiaotian quietly. The purpose of what he said just now was nothing more than to elicit Hu Xiaotian's real motive for coming to Xichuan this time.
Hu Xiaotian didn't intend to hide it, and said softly: "To be honest, brother, I came here this time to do something for the Dakang court."
Hogg groaned, leaned forward and said, "What's the matter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Condolences to the commander-in-chief for his loyal soul, and posthumous title of commander-in-chief as king!"
Hogg's eyes lit up, and then he whispered: "Is the Dakang court trying to cover up the truth?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The Dakang court is unwilling to take the blame. Otherwise, given the current situation in Xichuan, Dakang would not have to expend much effort to regain the lost territory, so why would it need to do such unnecessary things?"
Hogg laughed: "Brother, are you saying that Honghan recognized the wrong person?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It should be a fact that the commander-in-chief was assassinated, but according to common sense, if the assassin succeeded in the assassination and escaped unharmed, would he be stupid enough to report himself?"
Hogg said: "If you say so, the killer might be deliberately framing him."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Maybe the killer didn't say anything."
Hogg heard the implication of Hu Xiaotian's words. He was clearly doubting Li Honghan. In fact, Hogg also had doubts about this, but it was difficult to say things without evidence. He shook his head and said: "Honghan is concerned about this matter."
It can’t be fabricated out of thin air, right?”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know him. He is your brother-in-law. Who is he? You know better than me."
