Six young girls danced out from behind the screen one by one. They all pointed on the ground with their toes. Huo Xiaoru was not among the six, but when Hu Xiaotian saw their dance steps, there was a buzz in his mind. Huo Xiaoru had been in the dust for a long time.
The beautiful image suddenly poured into his mind, and he could conclude that Huo Xiaoru was in Kangdu.
Xima, who was sitting on Hu Xiaotian's right, noticed the change in his expression at this time, and was quite surprised. A song and dance actually touched Hu Xiaotian so deeply? It was also the first time for her to see someone dancing on pointe, and Xima herself was also
A master of dance, I am very interested in this.
Wanyan Liexin glanced at Hu Xiaotian with a smile: "What do you think of this dance, Your Majesty?"
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that you had asked the right person. This pointe dance was choreographed by Huo Xiaoru after being inspired by me. He praised: "The music is good, the dance is good, and the people are good! He responded to the sentence, this song
It only exists in heaven, and how many times can you hear it in the human world?"
Wanyan Liexin praised: "I have heard for a long time that the prince is very talented. He is indeed well-deserved. He can pick up astonishing quatrains at his fingertips!"
Hu Xiaotian was secretly wary, could the scene in front of him be just a coincidence? Yesterday, he asked about Xue Shengjing. Wanyan Liexin only said that he had no contact with Xue Shengjing, but why did this scene happen before him? Was it Wanyan Liexin?
Deliberately arranging it? Where is Huo Xiaoru? If she has arrived in Kangdu, why doesn't she want to meet him? Hu Xiaotian had a lot of thoughts for a while.
Xima said: "Central Plains singing and dancing really have a unique flavor. I have never seen dancing on pointe before."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The culture of the Central Plains is extensive and profound, and pointe dancing is only a small part of it."
Wanyan Liexin said: "Speaking of singing and dancing, Her Royal Highness is also a master of this art."
Xima actually seemed a little embarrassed by his praise and said softly: "The singing and dancing in our clan are very different from those in the Central Plains."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If there is a chance someday, can you let me see it?" He thought that Sima would shyly refuse, but unexpectedly, Sima actually nodded and replied readily: "Okay!" This Hu girl's temperament is indeed true.
Straightforward.
Hu Xiaotian became very interested in this Huiwei Building because of what he saw in front of him. He called the waiter and asked: "Is your shopkeeper here?"
The waiter nodded: "Yes."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Then let me invite him to come over and get to know him." As the King of Dakang Zhenhai, he took the initiative to invite the restaurant owner to meet him. It was a huge honor for this restaurant. The waiter smiled and said: "Sir, it's true.
Sorry, our shopkeeper has a rule, no matter who comes, he will not come out to socialize."
Before Hu Xiaotian could speak, Xima could no longer hold back: "Your shopkeeper is so arrogant..."
Wanyan Liexin coughed and interrupted Xima's next words. He smiled and said: "Second servant, go and tell your shopkeeper that this is Prince Dakang Zhenhai."
The waiter had just found out Hu Xiaotian's identity at this time, and he was immediately in awe. He hurriedly saluted Hu Xiaotian and said: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old. I am blind and can't see Mount Tai. I will report it right away. It's just that our shopkeeper has a weird temper. Can you
I can’t guarantee it.”
Hu Xiaotian laughed. There was no need for him to embarrass a waiter. He said to the waiter: "You just go and report it. I won't blame you whether you come or not."
The waiter went in a hurry, but the boss didn't come for a long time. Xima couldn't help but said: "The Central Plains is really different from our place. A small shopkeeper in a restaurant can actually ignore the prince."
Wanyan Liexin was afraid that Hu Xiaotian would be embarrassed, so he whispered: "Maybe the shopkeeper is really in a hurry?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Actually, there is no difference between the prince and the shopkeeper. They are both human beings and will suffer from aging, sickness and death. It is just a different position. In this life, I am the prince and he is the shopkeeper. In the next life, maybe we will exchange places? It's like the princess.
If you were born into the Khan's family, you would be a princess. If you were born among the people, you would be an ordinary girl. Do you think that's right?"
Although his words were spoken simply, they contained the concept that all people are inherently equal, which is an amazing thing to say in this era.
Wanyan Liexin fell into deep thought because of Hu Xiaotian's words. He was just the adopted son of Khan Wanyan Lu Xi. Up to now, he didn't even know who his biological parents were, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. If Khan hadn't adopted him, then what would happen to him?
He might just live a mediocre life and never stand out, let alone become the black-bearded King of the North Campus. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty has extraordinary insights and every word is thought-provoking."
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Brother Wanyan really praises me too much. I just expressed my thoughts, not that I have any extraordinary opinions."
At this time, a middle-aged man with a pale appearance walked slowly into the room. He smiled and said, "I'm late. Your Majesty, please don't be offended!"
Hu Xiaotian heard that the voice seemed familiar. He took a closer look and found that the middle-aged man turned out to be Xiang Shancong from Yanxi Hall. He had met this person before in Bohai Country. At that time, Xiang Shancong was commissioned by Huo Xiaoru to send a special painting.
However, when he asked about Huo Xiaoru's whereabouts, Xiang Shancong kept it secret. This person must know everything about Huo Xiaoru.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be shopkeeper Xiang!"
When Xiang Shancong came to greet them, Wanyan Liexin said: "So the prince and shopkeeper Xiang have known each other for a long time?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "We know each other, we are old friends."
Xiang Shancong said: "Xiang is really ashamed. He didn't know that the prince was coming, so he hid in the backyard and took care of my flowers and plants. I just heard that the prince had arrived. Xiang hurriedly took a bath and changed clothes. I have been delayed for so long. I hope the prince will not blame me.
Please don’t blame these distinguished guests."
Wanyan Liexin said with a smile: "No one blames me. The shopkeeper seems to be an elegant person."
Xiang Shancong smiled and shook his head and said: "I know nothing except farming, so I can't be called an elegant person. I can't even be called arty."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why should you be too humble to shopkeeper Xiang? You are very good at doing business. After Yanxi Hall was disbanded, I lost your whereabouts. I didn't expect you to come to Kangdu without saying a word and open this aftertaste shop."
Lou, business is booming!"
Xiang Shancong said humbly: "Thanks to the blessing of the court and the blessing of the prince, my life is not bad." He asked the waiter to add a set of tableware, toasted to several people one by one, and said: "Since the prince is here in person today, there are a few other people.
The envoy is here, this meal is on my head, let me be the host, and let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Wanyan Liexin said: "How can you be so embarrassed?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Since we are sincere to the shopkeeper, we would rather be respectful than obey his orders."
When Wanyan Liexin heard what he said, he stopped insisting.
Xima said: "Xiang the shopkeeper, what was the name of the dance those girls danced just now?"
Xiang Shancong said: "Xiang doesn't know either. He just randomly invited a song and dance troupe to entertain the guests here. They changed a lot during the process. They didn't settle until they arrived. I only know that their performance was very popular. As for the rest,
I never ask."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You, the shopkeeper, think you are carefree and carefree. That's what the shopkeeper said."
Wanyan Liexin said with a smile: "The real business masters are all hands-off shopkeepers. They do everything by themselves and are very busy. There is a high chance that the business will not be successful."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Wanyan has true knowledge and insights, and every word of his words is wise."
Several people laughed at the same time, toasted Shan Cong with a round of wine, and stood up to leave. After all, it was not suitable for him to stay too long, so as not to affect other people's drinking bureaus. Sima asked him to take her to the singing and dancing troupe to experience it.
However, Hu Xiaotian saw that the Black Hu Princess was deliberately avoiding the situation in order to leave him and Wanyan Liexin a space to communicate alone.
After a few people left, Wanyan Liexin stood up, closed the door, returned to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Your Majesty, someone sneaked into the post where we were last night with the intention of assassinating him."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. The Black Hu Mission had encountered a lot of troubles. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Wanyan, why did you tell me now?"
Wanyan Liexin said: "Because we discovered it in time, we didn't cause any losses."
"Where's the assassin?"
Wanyan Liexin said: "Escaped, but I think it was most likely Dayong who did it."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Is there any evidence?" He was actually reminding Wanyan Liexin that it is best not to talk nonsense without evidence.
Wanyan Liexin shook his head, sighed and said, "Your Highness should know the purpose of my coming here this time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Wanyan doesn't seem to have explained your mission to me!"
Wanyan Liexin said: "To be honest, I have been ordered by the Great Khan to come to Kangdu to discuss an alliance with your court."
Hu Xiaotian said: "This is a good thing. Dakang has always adhered to the principle of peace as the most important and non-aggression with neighboring countries. However, Dayong also came here to form an alliance. Could it be that you have discussed it in advance and are all coming together to form an alliance?
Is that so?" He naturally understood that Dayong and Heihu were now at odds with each other, and both sides sent envoys to Kangdu just to win over this powerful force in the Central Plains.
Wanyan Liexin sighed and said: "We and Dayong have been fighting endlessly because of the border issue. Although we have repeatedly tolerated it, Dayong has been aggressive, invading our border and massacring our people. In the past, we also tried to fight with
Dayong negotiated peace, but Dayong not only showed no sincerity, but assassinated our fourth prince." He said this with a look of sadness and anger.
Hu Xiaotian knew very well what happened between Dayong and Black Hu. He was at the scene when Wanyan Chixiong, the fourth prince of Black Hu, was killed. Dayong pushed the matter onto Huo Shengnan, forcing Huo Shengnan to flee the country with him.
But in fact, this matter should be done by the Five Immortals Sect, but the matter has not been found out until now, and it has become an open case. Although Dayong passed the responsibility to Huo Shengnan, Black Hu determined that Dayong was the perpetrator.
The real culprit who killed Wanyan Chixiong. What's more, Black Hu Dayong has been grudged for a long time. Wanyan Tiebo, who was regarded as a genius of the generation, was assassinated by Lin Baitao, the founder of the Sword Palace. How can new and old grudges be so easily settled. (To be continued.)
