Hu Xiaotian said: "I know Mr. Hong's background to some extent."
Hong Beimo stared at him: "Your Majesty, is this what you came here to tell me tonight?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just feel strange that a talented person like Mr. Hong has worked hard on one thing for decades without success."
Hong Beimo squeezed out a smile from the corners of his lips and said, "Time is also destiny!"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and leaned towards Hong Beimo: "That's because you have always chosen the wrong partner to cooperate with." He picked up the wine pot and filled the two glasses of wine on the table.
Hong Beimo glanced at the two glasses of wine and whispered: "What do you want?"
Hu Xiaotian said softly: "This prosperous country still needs a man to be the master of the country. Mr. Hong is a scholar of heaven and man, how can he not know what I want?" He worked step by step, leading Hong Beimo into his carefully designed trap.
, he wanted Hong Beimo to think that what he was really interested in was the country of Dakang.
Hong Beimo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, but did not rush to get the wine glass. He whispered: "Do you know where you are now? As long as I give the order, you will not see tomorrow.
sun."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know what Mr. Hong wants, and I'm not interested. I only know that what Mr. Hong wants is definitely not a wealthy country. On this point, you and I have no conflict." He paused.
He said at once: "Everyone takes what he wants so that everyone can be happy."
Hong Beimo's expression returned to its previous calmness, his eyes as deep as the sea: "What can you give me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am the only one in the world who can influence the princess. I can let her continue to cooperate with you, and I can also hinder her!"
Hong Beimo laughed, and pointed at Hu Xiaotian unceremoniously with his hand: "Bad guy! Do you want to do something like this that harms others and does not benefit oneself?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, the night you had the banquet at Yunyao Terrace, I also went to Longling Scenic Area."
The smile on Hong Beimo's face disappeared again. Hu Xiaotian's words explained well why Qiqi was so nervous. At that time, Hong Beimo suspected that there was another mystery behind it. Now that this guy has told it frankly, it seems that he has already come here this time.
Be fully prepared.
Hong Beimo naturally discovered the cave entrance under the water. He whispered: "It seems that you have encountered a lot of trouble down there."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "There is another secret passage in Longling Shengjing. When I entered it, Ren Tianqing and Mrs. Meizhuang were waiting."
Hong Beimo nodded: "The excavation is still going on. Have they died inside?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Usually bad guys don't die so easily, but Quan De'an is already dead." He paused and added: "Killed by Ren Tianqing."
Hong Beimo said: "That night I discovered something was wrong with Ren Tianqing, so I had someone follow him out and catch him."
"Have you found out who the imposter is?"
Hong Beimo slowly shook his head and said: "He has a very tough mouth." After saying that, he picked up the glass of wine on the table and took the initiative to touch it with Hu Xiaotian: "If the prince is sincere, I will be interested."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Of course I am sincere." The two drank the glass of wine together.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There were originally two skulls in the Dakang Palace, and the other one is now in the hands of Hu Buwei. As for the skull that Her Royal Highness the Princess placed in the Qibao Linglong Pagoda, it was originally from the Five Immortals Sect that I
The income gained by the general altar was later robbed by Ren Tianqing and Meizhuang together."
Hong Beimo sighed and said: "Hu Buwei's strength is not what it used to be. Tianxiang Kingdom, Xichuan, and Hongmuchuan are all under his control." In the past, Hu Xiaotian knew so many inside stories.
Hong Beimo's first thought may have been to get rid of him, but the situation is different now. Hu Buwei's strong rise forced him to consider joining forces with Hu Xiaotian, and now Hu Xiaotian's strength is also extraordinary. If he continues to choose to cooperate with
If he is an enemy, in the end it will only end in a lose-lose situation for both sides. In the end, the one who gets the advantage must be Hu Buwei.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although his strength is extraordinary, as long as we work together to deal with it, we will not be at a disadvantage."
Hong Beimo shook his head slowly, with a wry smile on his lips and said: "You don't know the Xu family. The reason why Hu Buwei dared to do these things must have received the full support of the Xu family."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that no matter how powerful the Xu family was, it was just a wealthy family. At most, it could rival other countries. Could it be that the Xu family could compete with a country militarily?
Hong Beimo said: "You should have seen the old lady, what does she look like?" He did not ask what the old lady Xu told Hu Xiaotian, but what the old lady looked like.
Hu Xiaotian said: "She has a childish face with crane hair. Although her hair is all white, she looks like she is fifteen or sixteen years old at most."
Hong Beimo said softly: "No matter what she told you, I can definitely conclude that it was a lie."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Actually, she just said some guilty words, and said that she once had a brother-like person who later betrayed her."
Hong Beimo's pupils suddenly shrank, and the muscles at the corners of his lips twitched. Then he laughed: "Have you ever thought about why a businessman's family can fight against the imperial court? Why has no one dared to go in these years?
Provoke the Xu family?"
Hu Xiaotian's heart moved. If it wasn't that Mrs. Xu had extraordinary strength, then it was because she might have the leverage of the imperial court.
Hong Beimo whispered: "She is the most terrifying woman I have ever seen in my life..." At this point, he suddenly stopped and seemed to remember something.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where is Ling Jiazi?"
Hong Beimo looked at Hu Xiaotian in astonishment. It seemed that Hu Xiaotian knew much more than he expected.
The conversation between the two did not continue because Qiqi came back from Qibao Linglong Tower.
The two of them stood up at the same time to greet Qi Qi. Qi Qi glanced at them, then looked at the food and wine on the table, and said calmly: "It seems that you guys were enjoying your chat. I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Hong Beimo said hurriedly: "No, no, the prince and I were just chatting casually. If your highness doesn't mind, please come and take a seat. We have already asked people to prepare the food and wine. Let's change it now."
Qi Qi shook her head and said: "Forget it, Eunuch Quan is still missing, and I am not in the mood to drink."
Hong Beimo said: "Your Highness, don't worry. I have asked people to dig out with all their strength. I believe that the truth will be revealed soon." He glanced at Hu Xiaotian secretly. Didn't this guy tell Qiqi about Quan De'an's murder? To say Quan
De'an is the most loyal person around Princess Yongyang, and his death must be a huge blow to Qiqi. Hong Beimo immediately secretly screamed that something was not right. Qiqi had lost Quan De'an as a support, and she would have to find someone else to rely on.
A trustworthy person. Judging from her attitude towards Hu Xiaotian, it seems that the two of them have settled their differences. No wonder Hu Xiaotian has such confidence to come to her for cooperation.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Your Highness, even if you are in a bad mood, you still have to eat some. If you starve your body, won't you worry me?"
When Qi Qi heard what he said, her eyes actually softened. Hu Xiaotian very gentlemanly opened the chair for her and asked her to take a seat.
Qiqi sat down here, and Baobao led the waiters over to change all the food and drinks.
Hong Beimo stood up and poured wine for Qiqi. Qiqi looked at the starry night sky and thought to himself, I heard that for every person who dies on the ground, there is one more star in the sky. I wonder if there are any stars in the sky.
Isn't there the one that belongs to Quan De'an? The stars in the black velvet night sky are twinkling. Qiqi seems to feel hurt when she sees Quan De'an's kind and concerned eyes. She reaches out to pick up the wine glass, but is stopped by Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You haven't had dinner yet. Drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health."
Qiqi wanted to retort and ask you to take care of me, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back.
Hu Xiaotian took the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and drank the wine for her.
Hong Beimo sighed secretly when he saw this situation. It seemed that the old relationship between the two had rekindled. Hu Xiaotian just said that he could influence Qiqi. There should be no doubt that he had someone bring a bowl of white fungus and bird's nest porridge.
Qiqi finished the bowl of porridge and said softly: "Mr. Hong, I plan to spread the news widely about placing the skull in Qibao Linglong Tower."
Hong Beimo knew what she was planning. The skull was placed here to serve as a bait. Ren Tianqing would definitely not be reconciled to losing the skull and would most likely come to steal it. Qiqi's approach also avoided risks.
He led all the troubles to the Tianji Bureau. He said respectfully: "I will arrange this matter."
Qiqi nodded and said: "Ren Tianqing colluded with Xue Shengjing, King of Yongyan, to betray Dakang's interests. He is actually a treacherous traitor, and his crime cannot be punished. This palace is ready to thoroughly investigate Xuantian Pavilion. This matter..." She has not finished her words yet.
After saying that, Hu Xiaotian already clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to go!"
Qiqi said: "That's fine, Mr. Hong is busy with all kinds of official duties, so there is no need for him to take action on such a small matter."
Hong Beimo secretly sighed in his heart, you are basically taking the opportunity to help Hu Xiaotian establish his prestige. Although it is just a small matter, it can be seen that Qiqi is giving Hu Xiaotian more and more power, and Hu Xiaotian is also obviously actively involved in government affairs, but Xuantian
There shouldn't be any secrets in the museum. In Dakang, it was just used by Ren Tianqing to hide his identity.
It was already dead of night when Hu Xiaotian escorted Qiqi back to the palace. When passing by Yaochi, the two of them stopped at the same time and looked up. The water in Yaochi had been drained. There were more than a hundred people around Piaomiao Mountain still searching. On the bank of Yaochi
There were palace guards stationed and patrolling nearby, and Murong Zhan was among them.
Seeing Princess Yongyang arriving in person, Murong Zhan hurried forward to greet her.
Qi Qi waved her hand, signaling him not to disturb too many people, and asked in a low voice about the current status of the search.
Murong Zhan said: "Several passages leading to the interior are blocked by Dragon Broken Locks. It will take some time to open them."
Qiqi already knew about Quan De'an from Hu Xiaotian, and had no interest in the final situation of the excavation of Longling Shengjing. The Purple Orchid Palace was not far away, so she told Hu Xiaotian not to continue sending him off. Accompanied by the palace people,
