Chapter 266 [Feast without a good banquet] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "I drink to drown my sorrows, but the two generals are so kind. If Hu doesn't drink anymore, he doesn't know how to show appreciation. Two generals, Hu is the first to do it first." He picked up the wine bowl and drank.
He drank up the bowl of wine in one breath, put the empty bowl on the table, and looked at Tang Boxi quietly with his eyes. He didn't mean anything else. You are so energetic, it's your turn to drink.
Of course Tang Boxi would not show weakness in front of a young eunuch, so he picked up the bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Chenzhou caught the smile on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips and knew in his heart that this guy had the advantage after all. He took a sip of wine and put down the wine bowl.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why doesn't General Li drink?"
Li Chenzhou said: "Li is very drunk. If he drinks, he will definitely be drunk and unconscious."
Hu Xiaotian cursed in his heart, just now he said that he would get rid of all his worries by getting drunk, but he just wanted to get me drunk without you taking a sip.
Tang Boxi said: "Eunuch Hu, my brother can't drink, don't force him."
Hu Xiaozhen couldn't laugh or cry. I can't drink it but you have to force it. If your brother can't drink it, no one else is allowed to force him to drink it. Are all the generals of Dayong Kingdom so unreasonable?
Li Chenzhou said: "That General Wen who unfortunately died in the line of duty was the son of Dakang Taishi Wen Chenghuan?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."
Li Chenzhou sighed and said: "I have heard for a long time that a young talent with both civil and military skills has recently emerged in Dakang. I have also admired General Wen for a long time. I thought we could take this opportunity to get to know each other and make friends, but I didn't expect General Wen.
It is really sad to die so young."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The misfortune of General Wen is really a great loss for our country. He was both civil and military, and he was highly valued by the emperor. He was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor at a young age. In preparation for the establishment of the Shence Mansion, heroes from all over the world came to seek refuge. He is truly an unprecedented person.
The general, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China all regarded him as the hope of prosperity and the pillar of the country, but they never expected that Heaven would be jealous of the talented man. He had just entered the territory of Dayong and encountered such a misfortune..."
Tang Boxi interrupted him unceremoniously and said: "Hey! Eunuch Hu, don't talk nonsense. Wen Boyuan died in your Dakang and has nothing to do with our Dakang." He seemed rough and reckless, but in fact he died in Dakang, your country.
Not confused at all.
Li Chenzhou's heart was as sharp as a knife but he still managed to remain calm. Thinking of his tragically dead brother, he was suddenly so sad that he couldn't speak.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't get me wrong, General Tang. I don't mean to shirk responsibility. I just said that General Wen's body is here. Isn't this the territory of Dayong?"
Tang Boxi was stopped by his question again, scratched his head and said: "Although the bodies are here, their deaths have nothing to do with our Dayong."
Li Chenzhou said: "Now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. Mr. Hu, do you know who ambushed you?"
Hu Xiaotian complained endlessly: "If I had known, I would have informed the world earlier, and I would have killed all these cruel thieves. But from beginning to end, I didn't even see a single enemy."
Tang Boxi curled his lips and secretly cursed the Dakang people for their pustules. So many people had died without even seeing the enemy.
Li Chenzhou said: "Your ship will not sink for no reason."
"Of course it was not for no reason. When the boat reached the middle of the river, three fishing boats suddenly floated in from upstream. When we were trying to prevent the fishing boats from hitting them, suddenly countless rocks fell from the sky. General Wen led us to fight back bravely.
Several vultures were shot down. It should be that these flat-haired beasts were flying high into the sky carrying rocks, and then throwing the rocks down from the sky to attack our ships."
Li Chenzhou frowned. If what Hu Xiaotian said is true, then these vultures did not appear above the Yongjiang River by chance and launched an attack. Instead, there were people behind the scenes. Being able to control such a large vulture army to launch an attack must be extremely clever.
What the beast masters did, although there are many beast masters in the world, there are only a handful of them with such abilities. As long as you follow this clue, it should not be difficult to find out the person behind this massacre.
Tang Boxi also thought of this: "There must be a beast master controlling it."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I think so too."
Li Chenzhou said: "I asked the rescued warriors. It is said that the ship Princess Anping was on caught fire in the middle of the river, and then the two ships collided again?"
Hu Xiaotian was secretly on guard. It seemed that Li Chenzhou had already gone through some investigation. He was a very thoughtful person, and we had to be extra careful not to expose any flaws in front of him. Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's true. At that time, we were because of those vultures.
The attack was chaotic, and suddenly the ship on which the princess was traveling was found in flames."
Li Chenzhou's eyebrows moved: "Eunuch Hu didn't go on the same boat with the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian had already expected that he would find out about this and did not hide it: "Not bad!"
Li Chenzhou said: "Eunuch Hu is the general manager of Zilan Palace in Dakang, and his duty is to serve the princess personally. Why didn't he choose to go on the same boat with the princess?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "It's all because I accidentally offended Her Royal Highness the Princess when I was in Cangmu, so the Princess asked me to go to another ship."
Hearing what he said, Tang Boxi couldn't help laughing. He patted Hu Xiaotian's shoulder without using too much force: "Eunuch Hu, it seems that being a eunuch also has its own difficulties."
"Isn't that right? When you are serving people, you must pay attention to the master's face."
Li Chenzhou said: "Mr. Wu is also on the same boat as Mr. Hu. None of the three remarriage histories are on the same boat with the princess. Is it a coincidence? Or does this arrangement have a deeper meaning?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised Li Chenzhou. This person's mind is really extraordinary. It's not that easy to fool him. Hu Xiaotian said: "I am also extremely puzzled when it comes to this matter. I originally thought that General Wen would be on the same boat with the princess, and because of this
I asked General Wen about this, but General Wen said that water and land are completely different. On land, you can protect yourself closely, but on the water, you must keep a distance. Once an unexpected situation occurs when crossing the river, our ship will
It can protect the princess from danger." At this point, he paused deliberately, his eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes: "It's just that we never expected that the danger would come from the sky."
Li Chenzhou said: "Even if they were attacked by vultures, the casualties would not be so heavy. Why did the two ships collide? Why did the boatmen make such a low-level mistake?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Li, actually I haven't figured it out yet."
Tang Boxi asked: "Is it possible that there are spies mixed in?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know either. How can you talk about things without evidence? But one thing I can be sure of is that if someone wants to harm the princess, they must not want her to marry the seventh prince of your country."
Li Chenzhou was shocked by these words. In fact, he had already thought of this level.
Tang Boxi said: "The princess of your country marrying the prince of our country is a match made in heaven. Who wouldn't want them to get married?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Perhaps some people do not want Dakang and Dayong to enter into a marriage relationship, and intend to murder my princess and destroy this marriage."
Tang Boxi said: "Maybe your princess has offended someone, so someone wants to kill her."
Hu Xiaotian said: "My princess has been raised in a deep palace since she was a child. She has never even stepped out of the palace gate. How could she offend anyone? Maybe your seventh prince offended someone, so someone wanted to take revenge on him.
That’s when he came up with the idea to murder his fiancée!”
Tang Boxi said angrily: "How presumptuous!" He slapped the table with his palm, causing all the dishes and chopsticks to jump up. He pointed at Hu Xiaotian's nose and shouted: "We are so kind to save you, but you eunuch actually
He wants to put all the responsibility on us, his heart is so cruel and his intentions are evil, it is so shameless and despicable!"
Hu Xiaotian showed no fear at all, and sighed: "Why is General Tang angry? We are not analyzing this matter. I just said it was possible, and I did not say it must be someone from your country."
Tang Boxi couldn't help but said rudely: "What the hell are you doing to us? Hu Xiaotian, it's obvious that you failed to protect yourself and were careless. If you were the ministers of Dayong, my emperor would definitely chop off your heads and leave none of you alive."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Listening to what General Tang said, Hu was lucky to be born in Dakang. My Majesty is kind-hearted and reasonable. He will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong and give us a clean slate."
Tang Boxi heard that he was sarcastic about himself every word, but he couldn't speak to him. He was so angry that he suddenly stood up from the chair, reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and yelled: "You bastard, you really piss me off."
"Yeah, I want to take your life now?" He said he would fall out.
Hu Xiaotian was still sitting there, with a sneer on his lips: "General Tang was very majestic and domineering. Although Hu was just a palace official of Dakang, but this time he came with the emperor's order and he was the envoy of Dakang.
There are family rules and state-owned laws. Even if I, Hu Xiaotian, am guilty, I have violated the laws of the country. It is not your turn, a general from another country, to tell me what to do. Hu heard that the people of Dayong are simple and simple, and the people are well-educated and sensible. Seeing what General Tang did today
Pai, it seems that seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times!"
"You..." Although Tang Boxi held the handle of the knife, he did not pull it out of the sheath.
Li Chenzhou stepped forward to stop him and said: "Brother, you have drunk too much!"
Tang Boxi snorted coldly: "Damn it, I'm a man and I don't know as much as you, a neither-male nor female thing!" He just acted according to the plan agreed upon with Li Chenzhou. Seeing that he couldn't scare Hu Xiaotian, he just stepped down now.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You can't call a man a man just by growing a thing. How can you know that someone who looks majestic on the outside is not a strong man on the outside? There are many deceivers and robbers in this world, and there are even more bluffs, and there are countless silver pewter spear heads."
Tang Boxi was so angry that he was speechless. When it came to eloquence, even ten of him were no match for Hu Xiaotian. He still wanted to get angry. Li Chenzhou quietly winked at him and said: "Brother, Mr. Hu is the envoy of Dakang and our country of Yong."
As a distinguished guest, you must not be rude after drinking. Please send General Tang back to rest."
Two guards came up and helped Tang Boxi leave. Tang Boxi was so angry that his head was big. If Li Chenzhou hadn't stopped him, he would have killed the little eunuch with a knife today. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and updated novels.
