Xiyan looked at Hu Xiaotian, who was immune to oil and salt, and felt a little helpless. At present, she was completely at a disadvantage. Hu Xiaotian was not inferior to her in terms of scheming, and Hu Xiaotian was hundreds of times stronger than her in terms of shamelessness. The only martial arts that could defeat Hu Xiaotian was now also used.
Qin Yutong restrained him, but there was no way he could use it. Thinking of Qin Yutong, Xiyan couldn't help but feel a sense of hatred in her heart. If she hadn't come out to disrupt the situation, she wouldn't have ended up being restrained everywhere. She said softly: "What are you doing to me?"
Do you know that witch?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed. In his opinion, the term "witch" should be more suitable for Xi Yan. Although Qin Yutong has an indifferent temperament, she is not as evil as Xi Yan.
Xi Yan said: "Do you know that she is from Xuantian Pavilion?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Xiyan sneered and said: "Xuantian Pavilion has always regarded itself as righteous. On the surface, it looks arrogant and arrogant, but in fact it is a lackey of the imperial court. It colludes with the imperial court and bullies its colleagues, which is why it has the respected status it has today. You helped her harm me,
It’s basically helping the tyrants to do evil.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't want to help anyone. I just want to arrive in Xiezhou safely all the way. It's best for everyone to be in peace. When I get there, I will hand over the work smoothly, snap my ass and leave, and everything in the future has nothing to do with me.
"
Xi Yan said: "Aren't you worried that she is the one who wants to kill King Zhou?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "As expected, you are very eloquent. Let me ask you, what is your purpose in coming to Xiezhou to attend my charity dinner regardless of the mountains and rivers? You obviously have martial arts skills, but you have to pretend to be weak and pitiful.
Who are you pretending to show?"
Xi Yan said: "I originally thought you could be considered shrewd even if you had to do it, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that. Have you ever thought about it, if I want to harm King Zhou, why don't I kill him in Wanfu? Instead, I have to wait for you to take adequate precautions.
Only then do you choose to act?”
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought to himself, fortunately you did not harm the King of Zhou that night. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind you. Every move you made was clearly seen by Ande Quan. Although you were highly skilled in martial arts, you were not aware of it. You were obviously not an old man.
If the eunuch's opponent really dared to attack King Zhou that night, Ande Quan would never sit idly by. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian was also a little confused. Since Ande Quan knew Xi Yan's identity so well, why didn't he take action to kill her?
If you capture him, you can eliminate this hidden danger in advance. Does this old eunuch have another purpose?
Xiyan said again: "Our Five Immortals Sect is not as evil as the rumors say. It is the so-called famous and decent people led by Xuantian Pavilion who deliberately smear us. We will not kill people for no reason. I will tell you the truth. The reason why I want to sneak in
The main reason among you is to seize a treasure from the Sharjah mission."
Hu Xiaotian was doubtful: "What treasure?"
Xi Yandao sighed and said: "Now that things have happened, I don't want to lie to you. The Sharjah delegation went to Kangdu for peace talks this time and brought a set of "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" to the old emperor. Someone offered us a high price to buy that
The scriptures were stolen."
Qin Yutong's soft sigh came from the side: "You are confusing people with your evil words. Now it seems that your tongue is the most powerful weapon."
Hu Xiaotian didn't realize that Qin Yutong had arrived.
Xi Yan giggled and said, "If you are open-minded in your heart, why bother eavesdropping?"
Qin Yutong said: "No matter how you whitewash it, the actions of the Five Immortals Sect will still not be exposed to the light of day."
Xi Yan said: "I have never said that I am a good person. No more than the disciples of your Xuantian Pavilion, they are all spotless white lotus flowers."
Hu Xiaotian saw the two people facing each other tit for tat. From this, it is not difficult to infer that the Xuantian Pavilion and the Five Immortals Sect are at odds with each other. When he turned to leave, Xi Yan stopped him again: "Hu Xiaotian, I advise you to be more cautious.
Don’t end up being sold out and have to help count the money.”
Qin Yutong smiled calmly and left. Hu Xiaotian picked up the rag that had blocked Xiyan's mouth. Xiyan frowned slightly and said pitifully: "I finally had a dinner, do you want me to vomit it all out?"
?Anyway, I promise you, I won’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Dinner has ended, and the people on duty have returned to their posts. The rest of the people have also returned to the camp to rest.
Qin Yutong sat down in front of the bonfire. The bonfire was blazing, her face was reflected red, and her eyes were as bright as stars under the bonfire.
Hu Xiaotian sat down opposite her, handed the big cake rolled with rabbit meat to Qin Yutong and said, "Eat it while it's hot!"
Qin Yutong shook her head: "I've eaten!" She stared at Hu Xiaotian: "Do you believe her words?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "You said she was deceiving the public with her evil words!"
Qin Yutong said: "It seems that you were persuaded by her."
Hu Xiaotian took a big bite of the burrito: "Do you think I am so easy to deceive?" Xi Yan's words cannot be believed or not believed. Xuantian Pavilion is not a charity, and Qin Yutong does not help others without expecting anything in return.
The living Lei Feng must have her own purpose in asking to accompany him this time.
Qin Yutong heard the implication of Hu Xiaotian's words and said softly: "Go to bed early, I'll be on duty at night."
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the dark night sky without any stars, and whispered: "I wonder if it will rain tonight?"
Qin Yutong said: "What is supposed to come will always come, and no one can avoid it!"
The sky above Kangdu was also covered with clouds. Lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time, outlining the majestic outline of the imperial city. After the lightning passed, all the scenery disappeared into the dense night. The iron-like dark clouds and this representative
The city of Dakang's supreme power center merged into one, surrounding the imperial city like an iron cage. A gust of cool night wind blew, violently tearing off the leaves of the catalpa tree, and the fallen leaves were curled in the wind.
It drifted away willingly but helplessly. It could only make a bleak sound, as if it was crying sadly.
Hu Buwei stood on the upper floor of Boxuan and stared at the dark night. The expression on his face was even more solemn than the night. Beside him stood Shi Buchui, the Minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs of Dakang. Shi Buchui held the railing with both hands and suddenly felt heavy
He took a shot on the railing and said: "Something is not right!"
Hu Buwei's eyes were still staring into the distance. There are too many things in this world that you cannot see through. He whispered: "Your Majesty has not gone to court for seven days, and Grand Master Wen is also ill in bed. What a coincidence.
Very good."
Shi Buchui lightly tapped the railing with his right hand and raised his head vigorously. This angle made his old cervical vertebrae crackle like firecrackers, and his gray beard was trembling in the night wind. He closed his eyes tightly and exerted all his strength.
He took a breath, as if to inhale the thick night into his lungs: "I heard that Mr. Ren from Xuantian Pavilion was summoned to the palace to meet the saint three days ago, and he still hasn't left." He slowly opened his mouth.
There was a cold light in his eyes, and the old attitude he had shown before was completely gone.
"Your Majesty is probably ill." When Hu Buwei said these words, his mood became heavier and heavier.
Shi Buchui said: "The information is strictly sealed. His Majesty has been staying in Renshou Palace for these seven days. Except for the Queen and Concubine Li, no concubines are allowed to enter. The eunuchs and maids are all silent about what happened in Renshou Palace."
Hu Buwei said: "I say it's to escape the heat, but the weather is not that hot!"
A bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky, and immediately an earth-shattering thunder exploded due to the south, where the Tai Chi Palace was located.
Both of them were shocked by the sound of thunder and looked towards the direction of Tai Chi Palace.
Shi Buchui said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be back." After saying this, he looked up at the sky again: "I should go, otherwise I'm afraid the rain will fall."
Hu Buwei said: "I'll give it to you."
Shi Buchui shook his head and said: "You don't need to send me away. It's better for one person to be soaked in the rain than for two people to be soaked in the rain."
As expected, Hu Buwei did not go to see him off. He watched Shi Buchui walk down the Boxuan Tower and quickly left through the back door accompanied by two guards. The wind had obviously increased a lot, but the rain still did not fall. The weather was so dull that
People were breathless. A black falcon appeared from the clouds and flew straight down in the direction of Boxuan Tower.
Hu Buwei stretched out his right hand, and the falcon flapped its wings and landed on the back of his hand. Hu Buwei took out a small bamboo tube from the golden paw of the falcon, took out a piece of paper, and moved it close to the lantern.
When I saw clearly what was written above, my face instantly turned as pale as paper...
"Father, the edict has been drafted. Do you need to take a look at it?" The eldest prince, Long Yelin, looked at his father quietly with his deep eyes. Now, Long Xuanen's face could no longer find the domineering look that once dominated the world.
His hair was completely white, and his face, which was admired by all, was already criss-crossed with grooves.
A sad smile appeared on the corner of Long Xuanen's lips, and he said hoarsely: "Is it necessary to watch it?"
Long Yelin said: "My father has been in power for forty-one years. During his reign, he has changed the Yuan Dynasty seven times. Since the founding of Dakang, in terms of the length of his reign, my father has been the undisputed number one. I dare to ask."
In the previous sentence, how do you think your merits are better than those of Emperor Taizong?"
Long Xuan'en said: "You are such a rebellious son, why do you have to humiliate me?"
Long Yelin smiled and said: "Forgive my son for speaking frankly, Emperor Taizong has the virtues of the three emperors, and his achievements are greater than those of the five emperors. He has swept across the country and dominated the world. Emperor Taizong cannot match it."
Long Xuanen snorted coldly and turned his face to the side.
Long Yelin asked again: "How is your father compared to Emperor Mingzong?"
Long Xuanen suddenly turned his face and glared at Long Yelin: "You can just say what you want, why beat around the bush."
Long Yelin said: "Emperor Mingzong saved the country from danger, suppressed the rebellion, and restored a bright and prosperous world to Dakang, so that the empire in danger could regain its glory. This is how Dakang has prospered for hundreds of years.
Neither can you compare to these two former emperors whose achievements are unparalleled and dazzling in history, and their reigns are not as long as your father!"
Long Xuan'en said: "You are so ambitious and plotting to usurp power. I only regret that I didn't kill you, you beast."
