Qiqi said: "For some reason, I always feel that this situation is unprecedentedly serious."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "It must have been planned for a long time."
Qiqi said: "Do you think Hu Xiaotian knew about it a long time ago? He conspired with the Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom to stage such a good show?"
Zhou Ruiyuan pondered for a while and then said: "I thought Hu Xiaotian would not do such a thing. In this accident, he lost Hongmuchuan. Although Hongmuchuan is only a small area, its strategic significance is extremely important. It strangles Xichuan in the north.
Controlling South Vietnam in the west, connecting with Tianxiang in the east, and facing the sea in the south, the geographical location is unique. Hu Xiaotian also spent a lot of effort to obtain Hongmuchuan. There is no reason to return it to Tianxiang Kingdom so cheaply. What's more, he already controls the northeastern part of Xichuan
Our territory is located along the Redwood River. In the future, if we attack from the north and the south, it will be possible to capture the entire Xichuan."
Qi Qi nodded slowly and said, "I also think that he would not do such a thing."
According to the map Li Wuyou gave him, Hu Xiaotian went to the Five Immortals Sect General Altar. When passing through Qingyun County, Hu Xiaotian made a special trip to the Hu Mansion, only to find that the former magnificent mansion had now been reduced to rubble. After asking
Only then did I find out that there was a fire in Hu's Mansion last year and the whole place was burned down. As for the family and servants in Hu's Mansion, not a single one of them was seen. It was said that they were all burned to death inside, but not even a corpse was seen at that time.
Of course Hu Xiaotian was not worried that Xumitian would be killed in a fire, and he believed that the fire was definitely not an accident. It should be that Xumitian set the fire intentionally, probably because he did not want to come to her himself. He asked the time, and the time of the fire happened just right.
In the month after he left, he decided in his heart that the matter had something to do with him. Hu Xiaotian subconsciously touched his chest. When he broke up with Xumitian, she once gave him half a jade pendant and made an appointment for three years.
Most of the period has passed now. On September 16 next year, she asked herself to go to Xianyun Pavilion in Duanyun Mountain, and I think I should be able to see her.
Hu Xiaotian did not find Xumitian in Qingyun, so there was no need to stay there. He immediately left Qingyun County, fifteen miles out of the county, and headed west. When he arrived at Heishizhai, night had fallen. Because Meng Zizai had once
Living in seclusion here, Hu Xiaotian originally wanted to bypass Blackstone Village and try to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But Hu Xiaotian looked at the map and found that the road pointed by the map had to pass through Heishizhai. After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to pass through Heishizhai. This time he came to disguise himself in advance, and even with his current appearance
He didn't even recognize him, so as long as he didn't meet a master of Meng Zizai's level, nothing would go wrong, and he had no intention of stopping at Blackstone Village.
Entering the gate of Black Stone Village, four strong black Miao men stationed at the gate stopped him. The leader said in a loud voice: "Hey, who are you? Why did you break into Black Stone Village without permission?"
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "This brother, I am a traveling merchant. I happened to pass by the treasure land. I just wanted to borrow a road to go. I have no other intention."
Four black Miao men surrounded him and looked him up and down. One of them pointed at the sword on Hu Xiaotian's waist and said, "Take it and take a look!"
Hu Xiaotian usually carried the Black Iron Sword, but he did not bring it this time. The main reason was that the Black Iron Sword was too conspicuous. Hu Xiaotian did not want to attract attention, so he changed it to another one. This sword was naturally not considered outstanding among his collections.
, but it is also a rare sword in the eyes of ordinary people. Hu Xiaotian didn’t think much, he directly took out the sword and handed it to the other party.
The black Miao man held the sword in his hand and slashed back and forth in the air a few times. He stopped and praised: "Good sword, good sword!" After praising him, he had no intention of returning Hu Xiaotian's sword. Another black Miao man
Then he pointed at the package behind Hu Xiaotian: "We need to check it."
Hu Xiaotian cursed secretly in his heart, these black Miao people are really pushing their limits. If he agrees to them, shouldn't he have to search his body next? He smiled and said: "Brothers, I'm just passing by. Please don't embarrass me. With that sword, you
If you like it, just take it and treat it as my passing money."
Several black Miao men laughed at the same time when they heard this. They took another step closer to Hu Xiaotian, clearly intending to stop him from moving forward. One of them reached out and grabbed the package behind Hu Xiaotian and said: "So nervous, what's inside?"
What kind of treasure is hidden?"
Hu Xiaotian came to Heishizhai before and felt that the Hei Miao people were warm and straightforward, and extremely hospitable. Why did each of them act like robbers on the road this time? If he remained indifferent and allowed them to do whatever they wanted, these people would definitely get worse. Hu Xiaotian was thinking
Sighing secretly, he could only choose to take action and knock down these four people in the shortest time. Just as he was about to take action, he heard an angry shout from the distance: "What are you doing?"
Hu Xiaotian followed the sound, but saw that it was the leader of Black Stone Village, Teng Tianqi, who was tall, but much thinner than before, and his back was a little hunched. Hu Xiaotian was secretly relieved, but fortunately the leader was in time.
After arriving, Teng Tianqi, as the leader of the village, should not let his subordinates do whatever they want.
As expected, the four black Miao men stopped surrounding Hu Xiaotian and looked at Teng Tianqi. One of them said, "It turns out he is the leader of the village!"
Teng Tianqi limped over, and Hu Xiaotian discovered that his right foot was lame. He was holding a wooden crutch under his right arm and slowly came to a few people. Several people came up to meet him, and one of them said: "It turns out:
It's the village leader, why are you so angry today?"
Teng Tianqi glanced at Hu Xiaotian, sighed and said, "I'm just a passing merchant, so why do you need to embarrass me?" His tone actually revealed the meaning of discussion.
Several people nodded and said: "The village leader taught you a lesson."
Hu Xiaotian also discovered that Teng Tianqi's clothes were torn in many places and were covered with filth. He secretly wondered why, as the leader of the Black Stone Village, he could be so informal?
Two black Miao men supported Teng Tianqi on one side and the other on the right. One of them said: "Master, I'm supporting you."
Teng Tian prayed: "No need, I am not your village leader anymore."
Several black Miao men laughed at the same time. Suddenly one of them pulled Teng Tianqi's crutches away, and another walked around behind him and pushed Teng Tianqi hard from behind. Teng Tianqi lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
He got up, and several black Miao men rushed up like wolves and tigers, punched and kicked Teng Tianqi on the ground, and angrily cursed: "You blind old man, do you think you are still the leader of the village?"
Teng Tianqi was beaten by several people and was unable to backhand, so he could only hold his head and face.
When Hu Xiaotian saw the scene in front of him, he realized in his heart that Teng Tianqi had lost power in Black Rock Village. He hated the villains who add insult to injury the most in his life. He was originally very angry with these big black men, but when he saw how they treated a disabled old man,
Unable to suppress the anger in his heart any longer, he rushed forward like a leopard, using his fists and kicks. It was not easy to deal with these people with his martial arts. He almost knocked down one of them with a single strike. In the blink of an eye, all four of them were knocked to the ground by him.
.
Hu Xiaotian picked up his sword, then picked up Teng Tianqi's crutches, came to him and helped Teng Tianqi up, and asked with concern: "Master Teng, are you okay?"
Teng Tianqi looked at Hu Xiaotian with some surprise. He had never seen this strange face before and said in surprise: "Do you recognize me?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Master of Black Stone Village, who in Qingyun doesn't recognize him?"
Teng Tianqi sighed. He had fallen to such a low level and was no longer the leader of the village. He leaned on crutches and glanced at several of his compatriots on the ground. He found that they had been knocked unconscious by Hu Xiaotian. He asked Hu Xiaotian
Tiandao: "You'd better leave as soon as possible. Once you alert other people in the village, it will be too late to leave."
One of the black Miao men moved his hands and feet, as if he was about to wake up again. Teng Tianqi raised his cane and hit the man on the head hard, knocking him unconscious, and then said to Hu Xiaotian: "Follow me.
!”
Hu Xiaotian followed Teng Tianqi into the Black Stone Village. Although Teng Tianqi had a disabled right leg, he was familiar with the roads in the village. He led Hu Xiaotian to the northwest, entered a remote path, and meandered through the bushes.
After walking about two miles, they had already passed Heishizhai. Teng Tianqi pointed ahead and said: "You keep going forward until you reach the banyan tree and then turn south. Walk five miles forward and you will hit the main road.
"
Hu Xiaotian hugged Teng Tianqi and couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the leader of the village?"
Teng Tianqi waved his hand and said, "No need to ask, you can go."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your daughter Teng Zidan was once kind to me, so the leader of the village does not need to treat me as an outsider."
When Teng Tianqi heard his daughter's name, tears welled up in his eyes. He sighed and said: "Zi Dan is no longer here..." At this time, the firelight flickered in the direction of the village gate. At a rough glance, there were about a few
Ten, it should be the other people in Blackstone Village who have been alerted.
Teng Tianqi urged: "Let's go quickly. If it's later, it will be too late."
Hu Xiaotian is not afraid of the people in the Black Stone Village. Even if the entire village comes out, he can handle it. He is also a little worried that Teng Tianqi will get into trouble because of this matter, and he is a little hesitant in his heart.
Teng Tian prayed: "Go away quickly and don't worry about me. They won't do anything to me."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and thought to himself that if Teng Tianqi wanted to leave, he would have left long ago. It must be that he couldn't let go of Black Stone Village deep in his heart, so he chose to stay. Hu Xiaotian hugged Teng Tianqi and said, "Hurry up."
Walk forward.
When he arrived under the banyan tree, Hu Xiaotian turned around and looked back, only to see that the fire had gathered at the place where he and Teng Tianqi broke up just now. Teng Tianqi must have been tortured again for letting him go without permission.
Heishizhai's tough guy who always said he was a tough guy has now ended up like this, which makes people sigh.
