After the luncheon, Hu Xiaotian and Wanyan Liexin broke up in front of Huiwei Building. Hu Xiaotian was still thinking about Huo Xiaoru. After walking a few steps, he decided to turn back to find Xiang Shancong. When he came to the door of Huiwei Building, he saw the waiter smiling.
He stood waiting at the door. When he saw Hu Xiaotian, he said cheerfully: "I knew the prince would come back."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing: "I don't know that you actually have the ability to predict the future."
The waiter said: "Young man doesn't have that ability. My shopkeeper asked me to wait for you here."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. Xiang Shancong must have guessed that he had too many things to ask him alone, so he was sure that he would turn around and meet him again.
The waiter led Hu Xiaotian from the side alley to the back of Huiwei Building and entered through the back door. After passing through two entrances, he came to the small courtyard behind Huiwei Building and saw Xiang Shancong standing by the fish pond throwing bait into the pond.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Shopkeeper Xiang is so elegant!"
Xiang Shancong threw in all the remaining fish food in his hand, turned to Hu Xiaotian with a smile and said: "Sitting around eating and waiting to die is my life now."
Hu Xiaotian burst out laughing.
Xiang Shancong invited Hu Xiaotian to sit at the stone table under the shade of the tree. He went to wash his hands. The waiter brought the tea set. Xiang Shancong made tea for Hu Xiaotian himself. After sitting down, he said: "Actually, I heard that the prince returned to Kangdu.
I have been thinking about going to visit me, but I was worried that it would be too presumptuous, and I was afraid that the prince would forget me."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "My memory is not that bad."
Xiang Shancong smiled and said, "Noble people often forget things."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Some things are not so easy to forget..." After a pause, he added: "Some people are even less likely to forget!"
Xiang Shancong knew who the person he was talking about was, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said: "Miss is also in Dakang."
Hu Xiaotian once again felt ripples. He and Huo Xiaoru had only met three times in total, but Huo Xiaoru's impression in his heart was indelible. He had also considered the reason, perhaps because Huo Xiaoru came to this world for him.
He was the first woman to fall in love with her, so he was particularly profound. He even suspected that Huo Xiaoru was in Kangdu, perhaps secretly spying on him somewhere in the Huwei Building, but he just didn't want to show up to meet him.
Hu Xiaotian controlled his emotions very well, and said with a calm expression: "Is she okay?"
Xiang Shancong nodded: "Very good, I have experienced a lot in these years, so I have changed a lot. The lady also said that if you see her again, you may not recognize her."
Hu Xiaotian's eyes were a little confused: "I can't forget it."
Xiang Shan Cong said: "The prince must be wondering why I bought this place and opened a restaurant here?" He paused and said: "Actually, it was all what the lady meant. She said this was the first time she and the prince met.
This place is the best memory in her life and is of great significance to her."
Although Xiang Shancong's tone was flat, Hu Xiaotian could feel Huo Xiaoru's full affection for him. How could it be so deep if it weren't for true love? But since Huo Xiaoru has always been thinking about himself, and even values the place where they first met so much,
But why has she never taken the initiative to look for him in so many years? What happened after she left Bohai Country? How was her life affected by Xue Shengjing?
Hu Xiaotian looked at Xiang Shancong and said, "Please help me tell her that this place is equally important to me."
Xiang Shancong smiled and said, "I will bring the prince's words to you."
Hu Xiaotian picked up the tea cup and quietly tasted the cup of tea. The fragrance lingered in his throat and the aftertaste was endless, just like the feeling Huo Xiaoru made him feel.
Xiang Shancong said: "Your Majesty should know that Jubaozhai and Yanxi Hall are both the property of King Yan, and also know about the relationship between the young lady and the Prince?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If it weren't for your young lady, I wouldn't go to Bohai Country to take a trip through the muddy waters."
Xiang Shancong laughed: "The young lady is very grateful to the prince for everything he did back then. She asked me to thank him in person on her behalf."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "There is no need to say thank you between me and her. As long as she lets me know if anything happens, I will show up as soon as possible and try my best to help."
Xiang Shancong sighed: "It would be best for her to thank you in person for your kindness towards my young lady."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, there is another thing she doesn't know. In order to persuade me to go to Bohai Kingdom to help solve the problem, King Yan promised to betroth his daughter to me."
Xiang Shancong was slightly startled, he had never heard of this.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, I will save Xiaoru regardless of whether this happened or not. However, King Yan has not fulfilled his original promise so far. Does Mr. Xiang think that I need to repay my father's debt?"
Xiangshan Chongming seemed a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and said: "I can't make the decision on this. Why don't you go and ask Prince Yan directly? Or you can go and ask my young lady if she is willing?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I would like to ask her in person, but it's a pity that she refuses to give me a chance to meet."
Xiang Shancong said: "Although I don't know why the young lady refuses to meet the prince, I do know how to meet the young lady."
When Hu Xiaotian heard what he said, he immediately became energetic and leaned forward: "I would like to owe the shopkeeper a favor!"
Xiang Shancong smiled and said: "Actually, it is just a simple task for the prince. The young lady would like to ask the prince to help save someone."
"who?"
"Rong Shi, the disciple of Mrs. Mei Zhuang, the leader of the Five Immortals!"
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this. He had certainly seen Rong Shi before, but it was at the main altar of the Five Immortals Sect. After the volcano erupted, he didn't know whether Rong Shi was dead or alive. Why would Xiang Shan Cong make this request? Exactly.
It was said that it was Huo Xiaoru who made the request. How could she know Rong Shi? Hu Xiaotian was suddenly suspicious. It was hard to say whether Huo Xiaoru made the request. Xiang Shancong used to be responsible for running Yanxi Hall, and Yanxi Hall was the king of Yan Xue Shengjing.
The core industry of Xue Shengjing, that is to say, Xiangshan Cong is a close confidant of Xue Shengjing. How do you know that the person behind this incident is not Xue Shengjing? After all, Huo Xiaoru did not show up.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't even know the whereabouts of this person. How can I rescue him?"
Xiang Shancong said: "This person is currently being held in Tianji Bureau."
"What crime has he committed?"
"Pretending to be Tian Qing, the director of the Xuantian Pavilion, he went to Yunyao Terrace for a banquet. His identity was discovered by Hong Beimo, who sent ten of his subordinates, the Dragon Group, to ambush outside the palace gate and captured him. He is now imprisoned in a black prison controlled by the Tianji Bureau.
among.”
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that on the night when he, Qin Yutong, and Quan De'an went to Longling Shengjing, Ren Tianqing and Meizhuang went to ambush them. At that time, Qiqi held a banquet at Yunyao Terrace, and among the guests at the banquet were Hong Beimo and Ren Tianqing.
Including, Hu Xiaotian later found out that Ren Tianqing who attended the banquet that night was just an impostor, but he did not know the identity of the impostor. Now that he heard what Xiang Shancong said, he fully understood.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Is it King Yan who made this request?"
Xiang Shancong shook his head and said: "She is my young lady. How can King Yan know what is happening here when he is in Heihu now?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I rescue Rong Shi, can you guarantee that she will be willing to see me?"
Xiang Shancong nodded and said, "This is the condition proposed by the young lady herself. Xiang is just conveying it on your behalf."
In the afternoon of the next day, Hu Xiaotian went to the palace to pick up Qiqi, and the two of them went to Fengyi Villa together. Although they were only out of the palace for one day, because they had to stay overnight at Tianlong Temple tonight, the Dakang Palace also made great efforts.
Murong Zhan, the commander of the guards, personally accompanied the guards.
Hu Xiaotian did not bring anyone with him, but asked Liang Dazhuang to follow him. It was not because Hu Xiaotian had any special trust in him. In fact, he had been suspicious of Liang Dazhuang for quite some time, so Liang Dazhuang had never been involved in the core secrets.
During this period of observation, Hu Xiaotian could not find any solid evidence from Liang Dazhuang. Either his suspicions were wrong, or Liang Dazhuang was a secretive master who could cover up without leaving any trace.
.So Hu Xiaotian changed his mind. Only by letting Liang Dazhuang get in touch with some inside information could he find his flaws. This was the reason why he took him with him this time. Of course, this was also related to Liang Dazhuang's extremely familiarity with Fengyi Villa.
Qiqi refused to ride in the carriage. In such hot weather, sitting in the carriage was simply a torture. Even if the palace people specially put ice cubes on the bottom of the carriage, it could not slow down the heat too much. Qiqi would rather sit with Hu Xiaotian
The bridle gallops.
The two of them were marching in the middle of the procession. Qiqi was also dressed in men's clothing, and she was actually wearing the same clothes she used to change into at the Zhenhai Palace. On the way, Hu Xiaotian told her about Rong Shi. If he hadn't mentioned it, Qiqi would have almost forgotten it.
this matter.
Qiqi frowned slightly and said, "I heard Mr. Hong tell you about this. He caught the thief who was pretending to be Ren Tianqing. As for what happened next, I forgot to ask. Why did you suddenly remember this?"
Of course, Hu Xiaotian would not tell everything honestly. He whispered: "It has been so many days and there is still no news about Ren Tianqing and Meizhuang. It seems that they may have been alert and will not be easily fooled.
.”
Qiqi said: "The two of them are nothing to worry about."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Ren Tianqing has great martial arts skills. Meizhuang is the leader of the Five Immortals. He is good at poisoning and has many disciples. If this matter is not solved, it will always be a hidden danger. I just found out that the thief pretending to be Ren Tianqing is Meizhuang's beloved disciple Rong."
Shi, maybe we can get some information from him."
"If I ask for any information, Mr. Hong will probably report it to me."
Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said nothing, but Qi Qi already understood what he meant. Hong Beimo still had reservations about doing things, and he would definitely not confess everything to himself. She thought for a while and said, "When we go back this time,
Just go to the Secret Bureau and pick them up and see what you can find."
