The sky of Piaoxiang City was covered with dark clouds, but there was no wind in the sky. It was hot and dull. A carriage slowly drove into Yuqing Baozhuang, and a man got out of the car. He was dressed in a green shirt and had an elegant manner.
It's Hu Buwei.
After the showdown with Long Xuanjiao, Hu Buwei no longer had the need to hide his relationship with the Xu family. He went to the backyard and saw a **** standing on the small building leaning on the railing. It was Xu Fengmei, the manager of the Xu family.
When Hu Buwei's figure appeared in her sight, Xu Fengmei's expression suddenly became charming and gentle.
Hu Buwei raised his head and looked at her, then showed a faint smile.
The wind came suddenly, blowing the treetops, and the clouds quickly gathered in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye. Raindrops the size of a soybean fell down. Hu Buwei quickened his pace and quickly walked into the small building that could shield him from the wind and rain.
When Hu Buwei came to Xu Fengmei's side, the rain outside had begun to fall heavily.
Xu Fengmei held her chin and looked at the rain outside the window quietly, with an expression like a little girl, and murmured: "I remember watching the rain like this when we were children." A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and a thunder sounded on the ground. Xu Fengmei was frightened.
She trembled for a moment. Then she felt an arm on her shoulder, and Hu Buwei's gentle voice echoed in her ears: "Fengmei, after so many years, are you still afraid of thunder?"
Xu Fengmei nodded, then leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. When the thunder sounded again, she was no longer so scared and said softly: "You walked in so arrogantly, you are not afraid of being known by that tigress."
?”
Hu Buwei laughed: "She rejected the proposal to capture Hongmuchuan."
Xu Fengmei opened her eyes: "Are you going to give up?"
Hu Buwei said: "After waiting for so long, how could I miss this opportunity?"
Xu Fengmei said: "Aren't you afraid of disobeying her orders?"
Hu Buwei said: "She should have understood that she is not the one in charge of the power of Tianxiang Kingdom now."
Xu Fengmei looked at Hu Buwei quietly, her eyes full of admiration.
Hu Buwei smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Fengmei whispered: "I'm used to it. I've been used to looking up to you since I was a child. Although I'm old, this habit has never changed."
Hu Buwei's fingers gently stroked her hair and said softly: "In my eyes, you will always be the little girl you were back then."
Xu Fengmei sighed softly and said: "I also want to stay at that time forever, but unfortunately everyone will grow old." She held Hu Buwei's hand and pressed her cheek against his palm, and the two of them stared at each other affectionately.
After a long time, Xu Fengmei let go of Hu Buwei's hand, straightened her hair, and said softly: "The old lady should be aware of our affairs."
Hu Buwei smiled disdainfully and said, "So what? Does she think she can still control the Xu family?"
Xu Fengmei said: "I don't know what kind of evil skills she has practiced, and she has become smaller and smaller, almost like a little girl. However, her physical condition is getting worse and worse. I don't think she will live long."
Hu Buwei said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, but what the eyes see may not be true. I always feel that something is not right about the old lady."
Xu Fengmei smiled and said: "What's wrong? Hasn't she already handed over all the Xu family's properties to me?"
Hu Buwei said: "Why should she attend Hu Xiaotian's wedding?"
Xu Fengmei said: "Maybe it's because of her sister's affairs that she feels guilty."
Hu Buwei said: "She knew clearly that Hu Xiaotian was not my son at all, so why did she still go to see him? What exactly did they talk about in that meeting?"
Xu Fengmei said: "The old lady avoids me, and Hu Xiaotian is extremely alert, so I don't dare to act rashly."
Hu Buwei sighed regretfully.
Xu Fengmei said: "Normally, there won't be anything special, otherwise the old lady wouldn't have handed over all the properties to me to manage after she returns."
Hu Buwei said: "I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong."
Xu Fengmei smiled gently, stretched out her hand to gently touch Hu Buwei's heart and said: "You are too suspicious. We have suffered so many grievances and experienced so many hardships over the years, and finally we can keep the cloud open."
See the moon, don’t think so much, no one can stop us now.”
Hu Buwei nodded and whispered: "As for Xichuan, our influence has already penetrated into all levels of their army. For Xichuan, they will follow whoever can keep them fed."
Xu Fengmei said: "The Xu family is rich in the world and can definitely help Xichuan tide over the difficulties." She has now been officially appointed by Mrs. Xu as the head of the Xu family and can freely control all the Xu family's properties."
Hu Buwei said: "Whether it is Dakang, Shajia, or Hu Xiaotian, none of them would have thought that Xichuan and Tianxiang Kingdom are already under our control."
Hu Xiaotian and Murong Zhan met at Pingjiang Tower as scheduled. Murong Zhan still had the same dead face, looking at Hu Xiaotian with a sinister look and said: "What news did the prince find out?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "What news can I have? I drank a few drinks and had a few teas. There are ruins everywhere in Xizhou, and the streets are full of refugees, and there is not much to do. Besides, you, Murong, have magical powers.
Guangda, I am waiting for your news with peace of mind."
Murong Zhan knew that even if he found out something, he would not tell the truth to him, so he said softly: "After Li Honghan came to power, he used his sworn brother Yang Haoran. This Yang Haoran was also very capable. He actually stabilized the morale of the army in a short period of time, and...
..." At this point, he paused deliberately.
Hu Xiaotian was quite unhappy with Murong Zhan's betrayal. He took a few steps forward and came to the railing outside, looking at the Qingsha River in the distance.
Murong Zhan's next words shocked Hu Xiaotian's heart.
"Tianxiang Kingdom has agreed to lend food to Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian turned around with a doubtful expression on his face. Tianxiang Kingdom is one of the initiators of the Golden Jade Alliance. He had previously negotiated with Long Xuanjiao to purchase grain from Tianxiang Kingdom at a price that was 10% higher than the market price.
Could it be that Tianxiang Kingdom sold grain to him here, but borrowed grain from Xichuan over there? If this was true, wouldn't he have spent so much effort in vain?
Murong Zhan saw Hu Xiaotian's doubts and said calmly: "This matter has been confirmed. Tianxiang Kingdom's special envoy Zhou Mo and Yang Haoran signed a food loan agreement. Not only did Tianxiang Kingdom agree to borrow food, but they will not charge any interest."
Hu Xiaotian heard that Murong Zhan was trying to stimulate him, and he laughed and said, "Such a good thing can happen."
Murong Zhan said: "It is said that there were three people who assassinated Li Shuai that day. One escaped, one committed suicide on the spot, and one was arrested. He insisted that he was sent by the Dakang Tianji Bureau."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I had known this, I should have asked Hong Beimo to come here and see if the murderer was from their Tianji Bureau."
Murong Zhan said: "Even people from the Tianji Bureau may not be sent by Hong Beimo."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "That's right, there's no need to blame someone if you want to!"
"When do you plan to see Li Honghan?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Anytime!"
Murong Zhan said meaningfully: "Aren't you worried that he might do something bad to you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What's so scary about having Commander Murong as your companion?"
Murong Zhan said: "Your Majesty is indeed very courageous!"
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly: "Now that I'm here, I have to meet Li Honghan. Otherwise, wouldn't it be betraying the trust of Her Highness the Princess?" He changed the topic: "How long have Commander Murong and Hu Buwei known each other?"
Murong Zhan's expression changed. When faced with a question he didn't like, it was best to remain silent.
But Hu Xiaotian had no intention of letting him go, and said softly: "When I went to Tianxiang Kingdom, Hu Buwei once threatened Fei Yan's life to ask me to do something for him."
When Murong Zhan heard that this matter was related to his daughter, he naturally paid special attention, but he didn't know whether Hu Xiaotian was lying.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He asked me to go to Qingxuan Temple to help him steal something." At this point, he deliberately glanced at Murong Zhan. Although Murong Zhan's expression was as cold as usual, it could be seen from the fluctuation in his eyes.
What he said had attracted enough attention from him.
Hu Xiaotian continued: "If it hadn't been for that trip, I wouldn't have known that the original owner of Qingxuan Temple was Su Yujin. She was not only the national master of Tianxiang Kingdom, but also Feiyan's mother."
Murong Zhan was not interested in why Hu Xiaotian knew this secret. What he was really interested in was why Hu Buwei sent Hu Xiaotian to do such a thing? Hu Xiaotian just stopped talking at this time, and Murong Zhan couldn't help but ask:
"What did he ask you to steal?"
"Skull, a blue transparent skull."
Murong Zhan was shocked. He pretended to be calm and said: "Where in the world are there any blue and transparent skulls?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Anyway, I stole the skull and used the skull to buy Fei Yan's safety." What he said was half true and half false. Murong Zhan had no way of verifying it anyway. The real purpose was to make Murong Zhan
Suspicious of Hu Buwei, Hu Xiaotian was almost able to conclude that there must be an unknown connection between the two people.
Murong Zhan said softly: "Respected father is really amazing."
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "From the day he abandoned our mother and son, I have severed ties with him. How can a person who can betray his own family be trusted?"
Murong Zhan said nothing and looked into the distance.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If it were Commander Murong, would he disregard the lives of his family?"
Murong Zhan still did not answer his question.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I believe you and him are not the same kind of person!"
Murong Zhan stared at Hu Xiaotian's face with his gray eyes and said word by word: "You and I are not the same person!"
Maybe it was because of the weather that I felt quite depressed today, so I finally insisted on writing a chapter. This should be the only chapter for today.
