No matter what Murong Zhan thinks or looks at it, the fact is the fact after all. This time he and Hu Xiaotian came on the same road and were envoys of the Great Kang. ↑Hu Xiaotian’s words with ulterior motives still played a certain role after all. Murong Zhan learned that
Learned many things that I never knew before.
More and more news is reaching Hu Xiaotian's ears. Various signs indicate that the Xichuan army is much more stable than he expected. Li Tianheng's death did not have much impact on this army. Hu Xiaotian still does not believe it until now.
Li Honghan has the ability to control the situation in Xichuan. If it weren't for him, then there must be another force behind him. Although Hogg helped with the investigation, no news about King Zhou was found. As for Li Wuyou, he has been working for his father.
Keep filial piety.
Although Hu Xiaotian has never met Li Wuyou, he can already conclude that this filial piety Li Wuyou is the paralyzed girl he saw last time, and she is definitely not Xi Yan.
After some deliberation, Hu Xiaotian decided to show up publicly. The fact that the two countries were fighting each other without fighting was certainly one of the reasons. Moreover, given the current situation in Xichuan, Li Honghan should not dare to act rashly. If he offended Dakang and himself at the same time, the Xichuan regime would
It will surely face destruction.
The atmosphere in the Marshal's Mansion was solemn, and everyone in the mansion was dressed in mourning clothes. Hu Xiaotian and Murong Zhan led four accompanying warriors to the Marshal's Mansion. They had already sent greetings to the Marshal's Mansion, and the Marshal's Mansion had already made preparations. In front of the Marshal's Mansion,
The streets were under martial law, and soldiers on both sides were heavily armed with sentries at ten paces and one sentry at every five steps, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
Hu Xiaotian and Murong Zhan walked between the guarded teams. The two looked at each other, showing disdain for each other. The scene in front of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy proved that Li Honghan was not friendly. It seems that today's meeting may be possible.
There are huge variables.
Hu Xiaotian held his head high and walked at the front, Murong Zhan was half a step behind him. Both of them looked intently at the brave warriors standing on both sides as if they were nothing. When they arrived in front of the handsome man's house, a white-haired man
The pale old man was waiting there.
Hu Xiaotian recognized the old man at a glance as Qiu Yuanchang, the general manager of the Shuai Mansion. If it was a private visit, it was not unusual for the general manager to go out to receive him. However, as Hu Xiaotian was the king of Zhenhai and the special envoy of Dakang, Li Honghan should send his senior officials even if he was filial.
Senior officials came to greet him, but he asked a commander-in-chief to come out to greet him, which was obviously a sign of contempt and had fallen behind in terms of etiquette.
Murong Zhan frowned, showing an unhappy expression.
Hu Xiaotian disagreed.
Qiu Yuanchang stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists, bowed deeply and said, "See you, your honorable envoy!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Uncle Chang, is the Fifth Miss here?"
Qiu Yuanchang was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the first thing Hu Xiaotian said after meeting was to ask about the whereabouts of the young lady. He then remembered that the last time Hu Xiaotian came to Xizhou to pay his birthday, he had led him to meet the fifth young lady Li Wuyou.
, no wonder he asked this question. He replied respectfully: "The fifth lady is chanting sutras in the mourning hall."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is Madam okay?"
Qiu Yuanchang sighed and said: "She fell ill due to excessive sadness, so the young marshal sent her to Shadow Moon Villa for rest." He made an invitation gesture and said: "Your Majesty, please come in!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am here today as a private person to express my condolences to the Marshal. Uncle Chang does not need to adhere to etiquette."
When Murong Zhan heard what he said, he already understood that Hu Xiaotian was obviously not going to bring up official matters today. Since he did not come as a special envoy, it would not be considered rude for Qiu Yuanchang to greet him today. Murong Zhan knew that Hu Xiaotian had always been resourceful and resourceful, and he wanted to do so today.
There is no need to say anything when I accompany him here for the first time. It just depends on how he handles it.
Qiu Yuanchang led the two of them to the mourning hall. Although Li Tianheng had been dead for many days, the funeral was never held. The body had been incinerated. It is said that it was according to Li Tianheng's wishes during his lifetime. Li Tianheng was worried that he might be infamy after his death, so he did this
The decision was a wise move for him. After all, it avoided the possibility of his body being dug up and exposed after his death. Now the ashes of Li Tianheng are enshrined in the mourning hall.
Li Tianheng has a total of one son and five daughters. Among the daughters, except Li Wuyou, who has disabled both legs, several of them are already married. One of them is married to a man from Sharjah. The other three daughters are all married to the generals of the Xichuan headquarters. Four of them are married.
The daughters were all chanting sutras for salvation behind the curtain.
Li Honghan stood up slowly after hearing the announcement, came to the door, and met Hu Xiaotian face to face who had just walked into the mourning hall. His eyes were fixed on Hu Xiaotian coldly, aggressively, with no intention of giving in.
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, this guy really has a hard-core nature and is narrow-minded and cannot be put on the stage.
Li Honghan said coldly: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be you!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "As a son of a man, you should understand the word filial piety and brotherhood. Marshal Li's body is still cold. Should the young marshal let him watch what you did in heaven?"
After he said it, Li Honghan seemed to really feel a pair of eyes looking at him from behind, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He secretly reminded himself that his father was dead, and no one else in the world knew about it except his master.
The truth was that at this moment, Hu Xiaotian suddenly shouted: "Kneel down!"
Li Honghan was so frightened by his loud shout that he shivered, and everyone was attracted by Hu Xiaotian's voice. After Li Honghan panicked, he immediately felt angry. Who did this guy think he was? How dare he stand in front of so many people.
Make yourself kneel in front of the person, just when you are about to have an attack.
But I heard a weak voice coming from behind: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to express your condolences in person. Wuyou has a leg problem and is unable to perform the ceremony. I hope Your Majesty won't be offended!" It turned out to be Li Wuyou who came out accompanied by his three sisters.
She was dressed in plain clothes and her face was as pale as a white camellia. I really felt pity for her.
Li Wuyou's three sisters knelt down to Hu Xiaotian at the same time.
After Li Honghan reacted, his face suddenly turned red. What the four sisters did was a public slap in his face. In fact, Hu Xiaotian's request was not excessive. As a filial son, Li Honghan should kneel down and salute the guests who came to express their condolences, and he
There is absolutely no courtesy at all in what we did today.
Hu Xiaotian left Li Honghan aside and rushed over, saying hurriedly: "Four ladies, there is no need to be polite. The Hu and Li families are family friends. I came here today to express my condolences to Uncle Li in a private capacity."
Everyone present looked at the situation in front of them. Although they didn't say anything, they were deeply disdainful of Li Honghan's actions. The only man in the Li family was too stingy and narrow-minded, and he was not even as good as several members of the Li family.
daughter.
Hu Xiaotian came to Li Tianheng's tomb and knelt down to worship and offer incense, treating him as a nephew.
Li Honghan walked back in despair. At this time, he gradually calmed down and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knelt down and bowed in return.
After Hu Xiaotian offered incense, he came to Li Wuyou. He knelt down and showed enough respect for Li Wuyou. In fact, Hu Xiaotian had always had doubts about Li Wuyou's identity. When Kang Du rescued Xi Yan,
, he learned from Hong Beimo that Xi Yan was Li Wuyou, Li Tianheng's daughter, but Xi Yan never admitted it personally. Now that Li Tianheng was killed, and Xi Yan has not shown up until now, if Xi Yan is really Li Tianheng's biological child
Daughter, it doesn’t seem to make sense logically.
Hu Xiaotian stared into Li Wuyou's clear eyes and said, "Are you okay?"
Li Wuyou nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It would be more pleasant for you to call me Brother Hu."
Li Wuyou said: "Brother Hu!"
Hu Xiaotian showed a smile.
Li Honghan's cold voice sounded behind him: "Hu Xiaotian, you have seized my land in Xichuan, robbed my people in Xichuan, colluded with the Dakang court, and murdered my father. Now you actually dare to come to Xizhou. Are you really not afraid of death?"
Hu Xiaotian slowly straightened up and said calmly: "Young Master Li is talking nonsense, aren't you afraid of disturbing your respected father's spirit in heaven?"
Li Honghan said angrily: "It's a bunch of hypocritical bastards who disturbed my father's handsome spirit in heaven!"
When Murong Zhan heard this, his thick eyebrows furrowed. This Li Honghan was really narrow-minded, so restless, but he didn't know how to control the overall situation of Xichuan.
At this time, an announcement came from outside: "Prince Hoge of Sharjah Kingdom has arrived! Tianxiang Kingdom's special envoy Zhou Mo has arrived!"
Hu Xiaotian was already prepared for Hogg's arrival. In fact, he had already become close to Hogg before he came here. As for Zhou Mo's arrival, he did not expect it. Since he had come, there was nothing to be afraid of. Hu Xiaotian was open-minded.
, I don’t think I have anything to feel sorry for Zhou Mo. Even if they meet head-on, Zhou Mo should be the one who feels guilty.
Hogg was the first to enter the mourning hall. He had a special status. He was not only the envoy of Sharjah but also the son-in-law of Li Tianheng. He was also considered a member of the Li family. He entered the mourning hall and offered incense first.
Zhou Mo followed Hogg's footsteps into the mourning hall. As soon as he entered, he met Hu Xiaotian face to face. Sure enough, a trace of guilt flashed in Zhou Mo's eyes. Fortunately, Li Honghan walked up and knelt down to greet him. The same envoy met with a completely different experience.
treatment.
Hogg was quite enthusiastic towards Hu Xiaotian and said kindly: "Brother, you are here too!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother, are you okay?" The two had met before, but they pretended to be meeting for the first time.
Li Honghan secretly blamed Hoge. He clearly pointed out that Dakang sent people to assassinate his father, but Hoge still acted so close to Dakang's envoy, obviously not taking his words to heart.
After Zhou Mo paid his respects and was hesitating about how to face Hu Xiaotian, he didn't expect that Hu Xiaotian actually walked over to him and said with a smile: "Brother, have you forgotten me, brother?"
When Zhou Mo heard him calling him eldest brother, a familiar warmth flowed into his heart. The past events were still vivid in his mind. He actually always felt guilty towards Hu Xiaotian. He thought that Hu Xiaotian would never forgive him, and he never thought of Hu Xiaotian.
