Nothing comes for free in this world. If he wanted Hu Xiaotian to give in and join forces, Liu Yuzhang must have made an offer that he could not refuse. Hu Buwei's heart was filled with ups and downs at this time. There are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal friends.
Interests, not to mention that he and Liu Yuzhang only use each other. Although he doesn't know what Liu Yuzhang's final motivation is? But the relationship between them should be that Liu Yuzhang uses him more. If Liu Yuzhang chooses to cooperate with Hu Xiaotian, then
Doesn’t it mean that I have lost my use value in his heart? No! If so, he would not come to see me. Does he still want to get something from him?
Liu Yuzhang said: "I promise to give him Xichuan!"
Hu Buwei was shocked in his heart. Xichuan was clearly under his control. Although Liu Yuzhang played a certain role in it, it could not be regarded as a key role. Now he actually wanted to give Xichuan to Hu Xiaotian. He really thought that everything was under control.
Among his masters, Hu Buwei was extremely calm on the surface and said with a smile: "Sir, don't you think this kind of sacrifice is really too much?"
Liu Yuzhang laughed loudly: "How can we make him willing to cooperate with us without showing some sincerity?"
Hu Buwei said: "Sir, do you want me to take the initiative to hand over Xichuan?"
Liu Yuzhang shook his head and said: "There's no rush, it's just a promise, it doesn't have to be fulfilled." He changed the subject and said, "But the skull is going to be handed over to me."
Hu Buwei nodded without any hesitation and said: "That's fine, it won't be of any use to me anyway."
The moonlight was like frost, and Yu Qingbao Tower was outlined with a silver outline by the moonlight. Xu Fengmei and Hu Buwei looked at each other. Xu Fengmei's eyes were filled with unwillingness. She whispered: "Although I don't know what is in that skull."
It's useful, but I worked so hard to get it, and now I have to give it back to him, which makes me feel a little unwilling."
Hu Buwei smiled calmly and said: "That thing originally belonged to him. Now that it has been returned to its original owner, I have nothing to say."
Xu Fengmei said: "He is asking you for the skull today, and he will ask you for Xichuan soon. As long as he can achieve his goal, even if Hu Xiaotian asks him to hand over your life, he will not hesitate at all!"
Hu Buwei stood up slowly, silently walked to the window, pushed open the pane, and cast his gaze into the dark night, searching for the location of the crescent moon, and soon settled on the crescent moon that looked like the crescent of Mount Emei.
After a long silence, he whispered: "He has been using me all along. I knew this day would come from the beginning."
Xu Fengmei said: "He promised to help you dominate the world, but now that his promise has not been fulfilled, he has changed his mind and cooperated with Hu Xiaotian!"
Hu Buwei said: "Promises can never be kept! I have never placed all my hopes on him."
Xu Fengmei said: "Why should we be afraid of him? With our current strength and status, you control the power of Tianxiang Kingdom and sit on a large area of land in the south. I have the wealth of the Xu family in my hands. If we join forces, what is there to be afraid of in the world?
thing?"
Hu Buwei said: "I'm not afraid of him! Aren't you curious? He took this skull to cooperate with Hu Xiaotian, saying he wanted to open the door to the underground palace. What exactly is in this underground palace?"
Xu Fengmei shook her head vigorously and said: "I'm not curious. In fact, people may not get everything in this life. No matter how big the country is, it will only be a place to live in. In fact, everything we have is enough, why bother to fight for it?
These fearless things, Tianxiang, Xichuan, and Hongmuchuan, as long as we stick to this large territory, are enough to become the foundation of the country. The future things will be left to future generations. We are not young anymore. Why spend our lives for power and ambition?
"It was a little difficult for her to say these words, because she knew that the man in front of her had unfulfilled ambitions, and she knew that it would be difficult for her to convince him.
Hu Buwei said: "Descendants? Who are our descendants?"
Xu Fengmei bit her lip. Hu Buwei's words hurt her heart. In fact, from the moment she fell in love with Hu Buwei, she was willing to bear children for him and carry on the family line. However, although the vision was good, it was difficult to realize.
She was even jealous of Xu Fengyi and Long Xuanjiao. Although they were not loved by Hu Buwei, they both had Hu Buwei's flesh and blood after all.
Hu Buwei also realized that his words were a bit harsh and would inevitably cause Xu Fengmei to misunderstand. In fact, how could she know the pain in her heart? He turned around, held Xu Fengmei's shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "
Maybe you’re right, I shouldn’t be too persistent about some things!”
After the spring came, Heihu did not organize troops to go south to attack Dayong, even though Dayong was at its weakest after the founding of the country after the regime change. Of course, one of the reasons for this was because Heihu Khan Wanyan Lu Xi died of illness in March.
Xima burst into tears over this matter, but due to her current situation, she could only stay in the south of the Yangtze River to worship her father Khan. Her third brother, Wanyan Liezu, officially accepted Heihu. Although Heihu's subjects were against
The Wanyan family is very loyal, but regime change always requires a period of stability. This period of time is also the process for the new Khan to become familiar with the regime. Xue Shengjing, the king of Yongyan, also adopts a low-key approach to the relationship between the two countries, although it does not appear to be the same on the surface.
If you don't make concessions, you can make a lot of concessions privately.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that the northern border has ushered in a long-lost peace. After Wanyan Liezu ascended the throne, his diplomatic strategy was obviously much gentler than that of Wanyan Lu Xi, and he sent a large number of envoys to neighboring countries.
The two countries concluded an alliance and used the banner of friendship everywhere.
The past two years have been going well for Dakang, and because Hu Xiaotian and Qiqi renewed their engagement, this ancient kingdom suddenly showed a flourishing atmosphere. In fact, the subjects have understood that Dakang's country is no longer under the control of the Long family.
Now, the person in charge is Princess Yongyang, and she will soon marry Hu Xiaotian and become his wife. Even if Hu Xiaotian is not ready to become emperor and is willing to become the man behind Qiqi, his strength is the most powerful in Dakang
One, from now on their children will be the future owners of Dakang, which means that the future owner of Dakang must be named Hu.
This kind of change is something that everyone understands, but most people can also accept it. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as the country can be stable. Of course, it is not ruled out that some pedantic veterans and royal descendants are unwilling to accept it, and have organized several rebellions.
However, the incident was suppressed by the imperial court vigorously and resolutely before causing any trouble. Those who participated in the rebellion were severely punished. They also took the opportunity to eradicate some royal family elders. After several purges, the royal faction in the true sense no longer existed. Even though
The ministers who had dissent felt frightened when they saw the fate of these people, and began to accept the reality and settle for the status quo.
There was unprecedented stability within Dakang. After taking control of Yulan Country, Hu Xiaotian successfully built it into a western fortress. Not only did he control the trade routes between the east and the west, but he also cut off the important channels for Heihu and Sharjah to jointly advance eastward.
, it is no longer possible for Heihu and Sharjah to form an alliance. Although Xue Shengjing of Da Yong successfully took control of power, he had to face various chaos in the country. Although he defeated Xue Daoming and Li Chenzhou, the people who lacked food and clothing had long accumulated dissatisfaction.
Finally, it erupted like a volcano. Since the beginning of spring, rebel armies have risen up one after another in Dayong. Dayong has devoted most of its domestic troops to quelling the chaos. Xue Shengjing has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he care about Dakang's affairs?
On the contrary, the relationship between Bohai State and Dakang became closer and closer. Bohai State became a vassal to Dakang and paid tribute year after year. The business exchanges between the two countries also reached an unprecedented peak.
The relationship between Tianxiang Kingdom and Dakang is about to reach its lowest point in history. After Hu Xiaotian captured Yulan Kingdom, he significantly increased the strength of the troops in the northeast of Xichuan. Everyone has seen that it won’t take long for Dakang’s army to
It will start with Nishikawa.
June is the hottest season in Kangdu. After Hu Xiaotian finished handling military affairs and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Qin Yutong, he received news from Zhou Ruiyuan that the case of Grand Master Wen Chenghuan had been fully investigated and was scheduled to be held in the autumn.
After asking Zhan, Wen Chenghuan made a request and wanted to meet Hu Xiaotian alone.
Zhou Ruiyuan only had no intention of mentioning this matter. He didn't think that Hu Xiaotian would go to see a prisoner. Now Wen Chenghuan is no longer the same as before, and Hu Xiaotian has become the King of Zhenhai and the actual controller of Dakang's military power. Unexpectedly,
Hu Xiaotian actually agreed happily.
Seeing Wen Chenghuan again, Hu Xiaotian could hardly recognize him. Wen Chenghuan had white hair and a haggard appearance. He suffered a stroke not long after he was imprisoned. He is now half-paralyzed. Judging from his appearance, he might have died before Qiu Houwenzhan.
It's time to go to bed at the end of his life.
When Wen Chenghuan saw Hu Xiaotian come in, his eyes actually showed some sparkle. He nodded and said, "You are indeed here!" His speech was quite clear.
Hu Xiaotian smiled at him and said, "Master, are you okay?"
Wen Chenghuan said: "No matter how bad the prisoners are, how bad can they be?" The loss in his heart was beyond words.
Hu Xiaotian nodded behind him, and someone brought specially prepared food and wine.
Wen Chenghuan asked: "Is this wine poisonous?" Before Hu Xiaotian could answer, he shook his head again and said: "How could you give me such a decent way to die, and how could you waste precious poison on me.
"
Hu Xiaotian picked up the jug, poured him a glass, and handed it over with both hands. It was not that he pitied Wen Chenghuan. Although Wen Chenghuan was Dayong's undercover, Hu Xiaotian still admired the old man's integrity.
Wen Chenghuan took it with trembling hands and wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but most of it spilled out. Hu Xiaotian took the empty cup and refilled it for him.
But Wen Chenghuan sighed and said: "I'm old! I can't even drink a glass of wine..."
