Eight hundred and seventh chapter scrambling to the next
This is not good news for Xue Lingjun. Her original plan had to be overturned. The target of the negotiation changed from Qiqi to Hu Xiaotian, and she would rather face Qiqi, who is as big as a kid.
She also didn't want to face the playful and smiling Hu Xiaotian. When facing Hu Xiaotian, she actually felt like she couldn't hold her head up.
No matter how bad you feel, you have to face what you have to face. Xue Lingjun understands that the purpose of her trip is for the future of Dayong. Since she and Li Chenzhou teamed up to seize power, Dayong has not gone as they imagined.
Although they are strong, their strength is not enough to sweep the government and the opposition.
Before coming to Kangdu this time, Li Chenzhou specifically asked her to visit Wen Chenghuan, the grand master of Dakang. Wen Chenghuan has always been a peacemaker when it comes to dealing with the relationship between Dakang and Dayong, and between the two countries,
Wen Chenghuan personally participated in many negotiations between the two. After Xue Lingjun came to Kangdu, after some deliberation, she decided to start with Hu Xiaotian first. After all, this is other people's territory. From the time she entered the territory of Dakang,
Her every move may be under surveillance by others.
Hu Xiaotian had long expected that Xue Lingjun would come to visit him first, so he did not embarrass Xue Lingjun and asked Liang Dazhuang to invite her to the back garden.
With Xue Lingjun's identity, Hu Xiaotian had to wait at the second gate even if he didn't go out to greet him. But Hu Xiaotian's behavior today was obviously a bit rude. Xue Lingjun secretly thought to himself on the way that Hu Xiaotian probably didn't go out to greet him on purpose. It seems that this guy
I still regret my past.
Following Liang Dazhuang into the back garden, Xue Lingjun secretly admired the exquisiteness he saw along the way. The south of the Yangtze River is really rich in treasures and the scenery is pleasant. Every step you take when you enter the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion is a sight to behold. Everywhere you go is pleasing to the eye. You can hear the sound of rushing water in front of you, but...
It is a silver-dragon version of the Triple Falls flying down from the rockery. Although the scale of the waterfall is not large, it is refreshing to be able to see this scene in the summer. The water of the waterfall flows into the pool, and then winds from the pool into the pebbles.
Xue Lingjun knew that all this was made by man, and he couldn't help but marvel at the paved stream. He walked forward along the stream and entered a green bamboo forest. The bamboo shadows were swaying, and it was extremely cool, like the scorching heat.
Completely isolated.
Xue Lingjun walked along the bamboo path, with Liang Dazhuang in front of her leading the way, and behind her was Shi Kuan, the commander of the Golden Scale Guard. Before Xue Lingjun and Hu Xiaotian turned against each other, she probably would not have let Shi Kuan go with her, but this time she did not refuse Shi Kuan.
The request to come with her was also due to her lack of confidence.
.
Xue Lingjun said softly: "It is really a quiet and elegant place. Your Majesty really knows how to enjoy it."
Liang Dazhuang smiled slightly, but before he could speak, a string of hearty laughter came from the depths of the bamboo forest: "Sister Jun still can't get rid of her habit of saying bad things about me behind my back."
He could only hear his voice but not see his person. When Xue Lingjun heard Hu Xiaotian's laughter, his heart beat faster.
Turning around the Xiuzhu in front, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw a small pavilion made of green bamboo where the stream meandered. A handsome young man in white stood outside the bamboo pavilion, looking at the direction they were coming with a smile.
This handsome young man in white clothes is naturally Hu Xiaotian.
Xue Lingjun secretly thought that Hu Xiaotian would wear a white robe with such a dark complexion. According to her inherent concept, wearing white for people with this skin color would expose their shortcomings. However, Hu Xiaotian was wearing a snow-white robe, and it didn't look out of place at all.
Not only that, but his complexion is bronzed and his whole body is shining. He looks very sunny and healthy.
Hu Xiaotian clasped his fists and saluted, "Sister Jun has come a long way from here. It's really rude for me to miss her from so far away."
Xue Lingjun flattened his lips and said delicately: "Since you know it's rude, why do you do it knowingly?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and made an invitation: "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. If I go to greet Sister Jun, I won't be able to make good tea. The weather is hot, and Sister Jun has come all the way, so she must be very thirsty.
Sister Jun's desire for water must be more than mine now.
Xue Lingjun chuckled and said: "It's always your reason." She pointed to Shi Kuan behind her: "Commander Shi, you are old acquaintances."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's right for old friends."
A smile appeared on Shi Kuan's dull face, but it came and went as quickly as it came.
Hu Xiaotian invited them to take a seat.
Liang Dazhuang picked up the teapot and poured tea for several people.
Xue Lingjun took a sip of tea, looked around and said, "It's quite cool here."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Kang is not as good as Yongdu. It is the dog days of summer, the hottest day of the year. Can Sister Jun survive it?"
Xue Lingjun smiled and said: "Although Yongdu is located in the north, the dog days of summer are also like this, but Kangdu is still more humid after all. I always feel very stuffy when I get here." Her chest rose and fell exaggeratedly.
Liang Dazhuang was pouring tea for Shi Kuan, and his eyes were attracted by Xue Lingjun's rising and falling chest. As soon as he was distracted, the hot tea poured onto his hand, which made the man scream and even threw the teapot, which went straight to Shi Kuan.
Kuan left, Shi Kuan's eyes were sharp, he reached out his hand and caught the teapot steadily. The hot teapot was held in his palm, but Shi Kuan seemed not to feel anything, and said with an indifferent expression: "Be careful!"
Hu Xiaotian glared at Liang Dazhuang and scolded: "You are useless, why don't you get out of here quickly."
"Yes!" Liang Dazhuang bowed and left with a red face. Before leaving, he still did not forget to steal a glance at Xue Lingjun's ****.
Xue Lingjun secretly scolded this slave for being bold. Really, every master has his own slave. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Shi Kuan slowly put the teapot back on the table. Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I am a servant who has always done things without a blink of an eye and with clumsy hands and feet. Sister Jun and Commander Shi must not be offended."
Shi Kuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, you're welcome, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Yes, everyone will make mistakes sometimes." He looked at Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun smiled and said softly: "The weather is so boring. Is it going to rain again?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "When it rains is God's business. Who knows when he will be unhappy?"
Xue Lingjun waited for Hu Xiaotian to ask her the purpose of coming, but the guy only talked about the weather and had no intention of getting to the point. She began to lose her temper. She didn't feel like this when she faced Hu Xiaotian in the past.
When I see Hu Xiaotian for the first time, I always feel that he has improved. The Hu Xiaotian in front of me is less youthful and impetuous than in the past, and more introverted and calm. On the surface, he is as friendly to me as ever, and even calls himself Jun.
Sister, but Xue Lingjun had a feeling of being so close yet so far away, like looking at flowers in the mist, unable to see through Hu Xiaotian's inner world.
Xue Lingjun quietly glanced at Shi Kuan. When she saw Hu Xiaotian, she already realized that letting Shi Kuan be present was a mistake, and some things should be said in private.
Shi Kuan understood what Xue Lingjun meant. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am very interested in the architecture of the palace. Can you allow me to visit it?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, called the housekeeper Hu Fo, and took Shi Kuan to visit the palace. In fact, everyone knew that Shi Kuan wanted to give Xue Lingjun and Hu Xiaotian a chance to talk alone.
After Shi Kuan left, Xue Lingjun smiled and said: "I heard that you went to that dangerous place in Xichuan, and I was always worried. Later I heard that you came back safely. This time I was on an envoy to Dakang. When I was going back, I passed by Dong
Liangjun went to see you, but I didn't expect that you had already arrived in Kangdu before me."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you very much for your concern, Sister Jun. Compared to Sister Jun, my younger brother is really too heartless. I have been so busy with everything during this period that I have not even thought about Sister Jun."
Xue Lingjun's hot face slapped a cold butt. This guy really didn't give himself any face. He didn't even bother to tell a high-sounding lie?
There are countless things to deal with, and it is normal to forget about me." This sentence was said sourly.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I am a lazy person. The more things happen, the less lazy I am to take care of them. If the princess hadn't asked me to come out to receive the envoy this time, I would rather hide at home and enjoy the coolness."
Xue Lingjun said to her heart, why don't you hide at home and enjoy the happiness? She sighed and said: "I didn't want to be an envoy, but there is no trustworthy person around the emperor. As his aunt, if I don't help
Who else is willing to help him?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed that this woman was telling lies. She was not on this mission for Xue Daoming. Who in the world didn't know that she had now formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Li Chenzhou, and the two of them joined forces to control the affairs of the Yong Dynasty. Although Xue Daoming also had his own power,
At present, it is not as good as the two of them. However, Li Chenzhou and Xue Lingjun did not expect that Xue Daoming was not as easy to control as they imagined. Since the Yongdu plague incident, Xue Daoming seized the opportunity and won a lot of people's hearts.
His identity as the savior has cured many ministers. He originally had many supporters in the court, but this time he won many wavering ministers, and his influence in the court is increasing day by day.
Xue Lingjun once suggested that Li Chenzhou get rid of Xue Daoming as soon as possible, but Li Chenzhou did not listen to her advice on this matter. Firstly, because the Black Hu people were pressing down the country with a large army in the north, and secondly, although Yan King Xue Shengjing escaped, there were still some leftovers in Dayong.
Although they have a huge power, Xue Daoming's threat is the smallest in comparison. If they attack Xue Daoming at this time, not only will it cause a bloody civil war, but the fight between the two sides will benefit Xue Shengjing who is lurking behind the scenes.
It will even have more serious consequences. The Black Hus are very likely to break through the northern defense line and attack Yongdu.
