Although Hu Xiaotian only met Tang Boxi today, he has already seen that this guy is not as reckless as he seems on the surface. In fact, he is a wise and foolish person. But what really made him wary was Li Chenzhou. Li Chenzhou gave him the gift when he first appeared in front of him.
I had a good impression. I thought Li Chenzhou was reasonable and gentle, but I didn't expect that Li Chenzhou suddenly killed a Dakang warrior. His temperament was changeable, complicated, and elusive. Judging from the current situation, Li Chenzhou's murder may be to frighten their gang.
Member of the Dakang Mission.
Now Li Chenzhou had completely regained his composure, stood up and said, "Eunuch Hu, Master Wu didn't come with you?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled calmly and said: "Thanks to the favor of my emperor, I let Hu serve as the deputy of the wedding escort team. If the two generals are not seen, you can call me by my name directly. If you think highly of me, you can call me Brother Hu."
Okay." He came to the table and sat down, his expression calm and not showing any fear at all.
Tang Boxi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this little eunuch still had some courage, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant. No wonder the emperor of Dakang would send him as an envoy.
Li Chenzhou winked quietly, and Tang Boxi finally understood, and said loudly to Hu Xiaotian: "Hey! You haven't answered my brother's question to you yet!" His voice was loud, like a thunderous explosion, which an ordinary person would have feared.
I had been so frightened by him that I sat down on the ground.
However, Hu Xiaotian remained calm, without even looking at Tang Boxi, he smiled and said: "Your army is well-disciplined and the camp is neat. Mr. Wu soaked in the river for a long time, was frightened again, and now has a headache. I let him stay
Resting outside, Mr. Wu asked me to say hello to the two generals on his behalf."
Li Chenzhou smiled and said: "I have no other intention in inviting the two adults here. The two special envoys came from Dakang, and General Tang specially set up a banquet to calm down the two adults."
Tang Boxi said in a rough voice: "Yes! I want to help you come here, but it's not convenient for the princess to invite you. I invited you two over, but only one came. You don't give me face at all!" He put a pair of
The tiger's eyes are wide and round, and the beards on the sides of its cheeks stand up one by one, describing it as powerful and frightening.
Hu Xiaotian cursed secretly, it turned out that there was no good banquet, and he deliberately set up the Hongmen Banquet to scare me. He smiled and said: "What kind of face does General Tang want? Is it possible that Mr. Wu is sick and comes to apologize to you? Mr. Wu is in Dakang.
The official title is Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official. I wonder what rank the generals of the Tang Dynasty lived in?"
Tang Boxi was asked by Hu Xiaotian that in terms of official rank, he was now just a fifth-rank Dingyuan general. Although Wu Jingshan was the Minister of Rites of Dakang, it was unreasonable to seek face from others.
Li Chenzhou smiled and said, "Don't blame me, Mr. Hu. My elder brother always likes to joke. You must not take it seriously."
Tang Boxi laughed loudly, stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan and slapped Hu Xiaotian hard on the shoulder twice. He wished he could slap Hu Xiaotian on the wine table, but he didn't expect that the eunuch's shoulders were actually quite strong. He couldn't move even after receiving his two slaps.
, Tang Boxi said: "I'm joking, please don't take it seriously, Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I knew General Tang was joking, hahaha, I like to joke too. A friend with your bold temperament is easy to make and deal with!" He also raised his hand and put it on Tang Boxi's shoulder.
Two slaps, come and go, I can't get your two slaps in vain.
Although Tang Boxi was rough-skinned and thick-bodied, Hu Xiaotian's two slaps were not light. They hurt his body. Tang Boxi knew that Hu Xiaotian was deliberately retaliating, but he provoked the trouble first, and now he could only knock off his front teeth and swallow it.
Li Chenzhou coughed, and a guard came over to pour wine for them. Li Chenzhou picked up the wine bowl in front of him and whispered: "More than twenty corpses have just been recovered. According to the number of people you provided, there are still three hundred missing."
The rest of us, I think these people are in danger."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "I didn't expect that we would suffer such a bad luck. This leaves us with no shame in going to see the emperor."
Li Chenzhou said: "My condolences. If Mr. Hu needs our help, just let us know. As long as we can do our best, we will do our best." His words were full of sincerity.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I would like to ask the two generals to send a ship to take us back to Wuxing County."
Li Chenzhou said: "You can't go back when you get married! Don't you understand this truth, Mr. Hu? Although this unreasonable disaster caused heavy losses to the Dakang mission, after all, Princess Anping is fine, and March 16th is the day when she and His Highness the Seventh Prince will get married.
This matter cannot be delayed."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It is only the fifth day of February, and it is still early before the wedding day. I have consulted Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she also wants to go back to Wuxing County to pack her clothes first. After all, most of the dowry brought by this trip has fallen into the water."
Li Chenzhou smiled and said: "Money is something external to the body. How can our great country care about the dowry? What we really care about is Her Highness the Princess. As long as Her Highness the Princess is safe and sound. Besides, I just received the news that Wuxing County
There is a civil unrest, and the hungry people have surrounded the outside of Wuxing County. Even if you are sent back, you will not be able to enter Wuxing County. The surrounding areas of Wuxing County are full of smoke and turmoil. If the princess makes a mistake, not to mention that you will not be able to explain it, even we will not be able to explain it to Your Majesty.
Explain."
Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized that there was no possibility of turning back. In Dayong, Li Chenzhou would not let them leave easily.
Li Chenzhou saw Hu Xiaotian's thick eyebrows furrowed and knew that he still hadn't given up the idea, so he said softly: "Master Hu, don't worry about the dowry. General Tang has already sent an order to send the navy to salvage the ship in the waters where it crashed. It has been salvaged now."
There is a lot of luggage, and I believe there will be dowries that will be salvaged one after another. Mr. Hu can just rest here peacefully. After the salvage is completed, count the items. We will help you repack the boxes and escort you to Yongdu. I don’t know what Mr. Hu wants.
how?"
Li Chenzhou has reached this point, and Hu Xiaotian cannot say no. The situation is forcing him to make a choice. The only way out now is to escort the fake princess Zijuan to continue to Yongdu to get married. Thinking of this, Hu Xiaotian
He nodded and said, "Thank you two generals."
Li Chenzhou said calmly: "After Princess Anping and the Seventh Prince get married, the two countries are one family, so why should we be so polite." He had completely calmed down at this time, and he was a completely different person than when he killed someone just now.
Hu Xiaotian even suspected that there was a different person in front of him and became more wary of Li Chenzhou, fearing that his flaws would be exposed in front of him.
Tang Boxi said: "Drink, drink!" He picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian only touched his lips once and then put it down.
Tang Boxi's eyes widened and he said: "What? Why don't you do it? Are you looking down on us?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "General Tang, General Li, the tragedy that happened today is still vivid in my mind. Thinking of so many brothers and friends who died, Hu is really sad. They will never see the sun of tomorrow again, but Hu
Sitting here drinking...I can't drink this wine no matter what..." Hu Xiaotian slowly placed the bowl of wine on the table, raised his sleeves, and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Tang Boxi looked at Li Chenzhou, then suddenly put the wine bowl on the table, and the wine was splashing everywhere. He yelled: "Eunuch Hu, I, Tang Boxi, kindly invited you to drink. If you don't want to drink, you won't drink. And you still talk about these bad people's moods."
What you said is nothing more than looking down on me and not giving me face, Mr. Tang!"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, you Tang Boxi simply looked at Li Chenzhou's eyes and acted. You were startled here. One of them was a good guy and the other was a bad guy. You really thought I was a little eunuch in the Dakang Palace. I was so scared.
Yes! Hu Xiaotian said: "General Tang has misunderstood. Hu never meant to look down on you. If General Tang had not led his troops to rescue him today, Hu would have drowned in the middle of the river. How would he have the chance to sit here and drink?"
Tang Boxi was still angry and said: "Does that mean you suspect that my wine is poisonous? Are you worried that I will harm you?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Da Yong and Dakang are both big countries. How can such a big country have such a small person? If General Tang wanted to kill me, why bother to rescue me? Even if he saved me, he regretted it, and now
If he wanted to kill me, General Tang would definitely draw his sword with dignity, given his temperament. How could he use such despicable, shameless and dirty methods?"
"Uh..." Tang Boxi didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to be such a sharp-tongued guy. He was stunned by what he said and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Li Chenzhou showed appreciation. Although he initially guessed that Hu Xiaotian was entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Dakang at such a young age, he must be outstanding, but he still lacked an accurate estimate of his abilities. There will be a banquet tonight.
, taking the opportunity to sing a good show with Tang Boxi, trying to get more information about the shipwreck from Hu Xiaotian and Wu Jingshan. However, Wu Jingshan claimed that he was ill and did not come back. Although Hu Xiaotian was just a eunuch, he was an extremely difficult character to deal with.
Li Chenzhou said: "Master Hu, I express my condolences to you. Now that what has happened, no matter how sad you are, it will not help. The only way is to cheer up, revive your morale, escort Princess Anping to Yongdu as soon as possible, and complete the mission of your country's monarch."
.”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "What General Li said is absolutely true." He picked up the bowl of wine in front of him, slowly spilled it on the ground, and said in a low voice: "I only use this thin glass of wine to commemorate the heroic spirits of the fallen soldiers." As he spoke,
, squeezed out two tears, and seemed sincere.
Tang Boxi said: "What are you doing if you spill the wine?" He was also a heavy drinker, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw Hu Xiaotian spilling the wine.
Hu Xiaotian had just put down the empty bowl when the guard came over and filled it for him.
Li Chenzhou picked up the wine bowl and said: "Master Hu, a drunkenness will relieve a thousand worries. After drinking this bowl of wine, you will feel better." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
