Hu Xiaotian carefully climbed back to the ground from the roof. Now he realized the benefits of martial arts. Even if he had money to hire a bodyguard, it was impossible for the bodyguard to follow him 24 hours a day. After all, there were times when he was alone.
Fortunately, Xi Yan had no intention of harming him. Otherwise, with Xi Yan's martial arts, he would have died if he had no choice but to pull his neck.
Hu Xiaotian pushed open the door in the dark, took out the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp on the table, yawned, and was about to go to bed to rest, but found a gray-haired old man sitting on the bed. Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he jumped three feet on the spot.
How high, I opened my mouth to scream, but I felt like my chest was poked by someone. I opened my mouth wide, but no sound came out.
The old man was dressed in gray clothes and had a thin figure. He sat motionless on the bed, looking directly at Hu Xiaotian, like a wax figure, or to put it worse, more like an erect corpse.
Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. This time he was even more frightened than when Xi Yan teased him just now. When he saw the old man's appearance clearly, he realized that the old man in front of him was also an acquaintance. He was actually An, who had been rescued by him in Lanruo Temple.
Dequan. Thinking of the seventeenth prince Long Yefang who came here tonight, and thinking of Qiqi who has a royal status, Hu Xiaotian can almost conclude that Dequan's appearance here should be related to Zhou Wang Long Yefang.
Back then, he personally performed an amputation operation on Ande Quan's right leg at Lanruo Temple, and also discovered the secret that Ande Quan was a eunuch. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian became more and more frightened. Old An was here to kill people and silence him, right?
Andequan whispered: "You don't have to be afraid, I have no ill intentions towards you." He raised his right hand and pointed a finger in the air, and a burst of inner energy shot to Hu Xiaotian's chest through the air. Hu Xiaotian felt a pain in his chest and couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest.
With a sigh of relief, his throat could finally make a sound. Ande Quan could actually press acupuncture points in the air. This skill was truly unfathomable.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think about when the old eunuch came here. But he didn't know if he was already watching them when he just talked to Xiyan. Although Hu Xiaotian was Andequan's savior, he didn't expect the old eunuch to be able to
Repaying kindness, throughout the ages, the more people in the palace, the more complicated the human heart. The old eunuch will not appear here for no reason. Hu Xiaotian was secretly wary in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, smiling: "Old man, your injury
alright?"
Ande Quan said with a dull expression: "Do you think I have already taken away the lonely ghosts from Lanruo Temple?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You are blessed with great fortune, I have known for a long time that you will be fine." He secretly calculated that it would only be more than a month since he left Lanruo Temple. The old eunuch's body recovered so quickly that he was able to do it without even noticing it.
Entering his room. Hu Xiaotian looked around to see if anyone else was there except Ander Quan.
Ander Quan said: "What are you looking at?"
Hu Xiaotian asked: "How did you get here?"
"Of course I came here!"
"Your leg!"
Hu Xiaotian has already amputated Ande Quan's right leg, and now he sees that both of Ande Quan's thighs seem to be there. Both of his feet are on the ground. Could it be that the old eunuch's thighs can be regenerated like a gecko's tail? That's not right.
, if the thigh can regenerate, why does the thing in the middle not grow back after being cut off?
Ande Quan seemed to have guessed what Hu Xiaotian was thinking, and slowly unzipped his pants. Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and saw that his right leg was completely made of metal, and the deep reflection of metal flashed in the shadow. Sure enough, it was.
A prosthetic limb.
Ander put his pants down again and whispered: "What you lost will never come back."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and did not answer, but he didn't know whether the old eunuch was lamenting his thighs or his lifeblood.
Ande Quan slowly stood up and walked towards Hu Xiaotian step by step. Although he had good control, he still limped when walking. He came to sit next to Hu Xiaotian. He looked at the young man in front of him by the light of the oil lamp and lowered his head.
He said: "Thank you for what happened in Qiqi. I said I owe you a favor."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter." He didn't know why, but he felt disgusted with the old eunuch from the bottom of his heart. He just hoped that An Dequan would never find him.
Ande Quan asked: "Is that piece of Panlong Jade Pendant still with you?"
Hu Xiaotian was startled. Could it be that Ande came here through mountains and rivers just to ask for the jade pendant from him? He shook his head and said, "I lost it. On the way from Xiezhou to Qingyun, we encountered another situation."
Robber, I lost my jade pendant while escaping. I feel really sorry when I think about it."
Ande Quan sighed with regret and said, "Lost?"
"Ah!" Hu Xiaotian would not return the jade pendant to him honestly. I worked hard and almost died to help you deliver the person to Xiezhou. The jade pendant was obviously your hard-earned money for giving it to me. Now what happened
It's over, and you actually want to take things back. How can anything be so cheap in the world? Besides, I don't have the jade pendant here. I gave it to the little widow Le Yao. I won't be afraid even if you search her.
Ander Quan said: "Since you've lost it, forget it, it's your thing anyway."
Hu Xiaotian came closer to him and said happily: "Old man, are you from the palace?" Now that things have happened, he is not afraid of asking the truth.
Andequan nodded slowly and said, "It's always been the case." His eyes were as calm as water, and the expression on his face was half-smile, making him look more and more unpredictable.
Hu Xiaotian made an insinuation and said, "Did you come here with His Highness King Zhou this time?" He pushed forward step by step, trying to find out the truth from the old eunuch. In his opinion, King Zhou's coming to support him this time should have something to do with the old eunuch.
Ander Quan stared at Hu Xiaotian's young face with his penetrating eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He had already heard Hu Xiaotian's purpose and knew what the boy wanted to ask, so he whispered: "No!"
Hu Xiaotian thought that the old eunuch was lying. Since Zhou Wang Long Yefang was entrusted by Qiqi to come to support him, and the old eunuch risked his life to protect Qiqi all the way to Xiezhou, they must have known each other, and their relationship was destined to be unusual.
Ander Quan said: "Do you really want to know Qiqi's identity?"
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "I'm not that curious! You always like to talk without telling me!" In fact, this guy is not only curious, but also very curious.
Ander Quan said: "Actually, if you ask me, I will definitely tell you frankly. You saved my life. I don't need to hide anything from you, my benefactor."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone should have their own secrets. I never force others to do anything."
Andequan smiled and said, "You should now know the true identity of the owner of the Zhou family in Yujin Lane, Fengze Street, Xiezhou?"
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, and for some reason he suddenly became nervous.
Ande Quan said: "He was once a high-ranking official of the current dynasty. He was worshiped as the Right Prime Minister of Dakang, the Crown Prince and Grand Master, and a Hanlin bachelor. He was ordered by Tongping Zhangshi, Zhou Ruiyuan of Shangzhu Kingdom, and Lord Zhou."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not too familiar with things in the imperial court." As early as when he sent Qiqi to the Zhou family, he already knew the identity of the owner of the Zhou family. The reason why he was eager to leave was that he had a premonition that Qiqi was being chased.
The killing was probably related to a thrilling political conspiracy. Hu Xiaotian was very cautious about protecting himself and did not want to get involved, so he rationally chose to draw a clear line with them. He thought that after coming to Qingyun, he would cut off contact with them, but he did not expect that the old man would
The eunuch actually saved his life and came here.
Ande Quan said: "Although you are not familiar with it, your father is very familiar with these things. I heard that you made a baby kiss with the Zhou family's daughter when you were in your mother's womb, but later the Zhou family heard that you were a
You are a fool, so you took the initiative to terminate the engagement. Is this the case?"
Hu Xiaotian's forehead began to sweat. The old eunuch found out all his details. I said, there is no point in beating around the bush in front of him. Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "The matter of Chen Guzi's rotten rice, please tell me."
If I didn’t tell you, I wouldn’t even remember it.”
Ande Quan said: "Three years ago, the emperor deposed the crown prince. Mr. Zhou argued hard, but in the end he offended your majesty, so he was demoted to a civilian position. You should also know this."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "The power of God is unpredictable, but I was young at that time and didn't care about the internal affairs of the court."
Ande Quan said: "That's right! His Majesty's thoughts are the most elusive."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am just a ninth-grade sesame official. I have never even seen His Majesty in person, and I may never have the chance to see him in this life."
Ande Quan said: "Qiqi said that if it weren't for you, she would have died on the way. The reason why she could reach Xiezhou safely depends on you. She owes you a huge favor, and she also said that she will definitely repay you in the future.
.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "This matter is over. Please tell her for me and don't take it to heart." He thought to himself, I am grateful to you for not causing trouble for me. I don't want any reward from you.
Ande Quan said: "I'm really surprised that Hu Buwei, who only has a single seedling like you, is willing to let you travel across mountains and rivers and travel thousands of miles to the southwest to suffer."
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father thought that I was drunk and causing trouble in the capital, so he asked me to come here to exercise."
“It’s only right to bully men and dominate women!”
Hu Xiaotian's face heated up. It seemed that the old eunuch had been working hard on himself.
Ande Quan said: "Qiqi is the daughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart. Although he had been prepared, he was still shocked by the truth. He blurted out: "Which prince..." After saying this, he immediately felt regretful. The current prince Long Yeqing was about to succeed.
It won't be long before he rules the world. Who dares to hunt down his daughter? This Qiqi is obviously the daughter of the deposed unlucky prince Long Yelin. But Long Yelin has lost power, and his daughter is being chased all the way.
But he inadvertently saved her. If this matter were spread, what would others think? Would it implicate his father? The more Hu Xiaotian thought about it, the more frightened he became. (To be continued...)
