Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Fourth [Peak and Turn] (Part 1)
Huo Shengnan said: "Actually, what Mr. Hu wants to do can be done by other means. There is no need to use this method to attract other people's attention."
Hu Xiaotian heard what Huo Shengnan meant, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips of tea, which could slow down the pace of the conversation. He thought to himself that it seemed that Huo Shengnan had seen through his purpose of causing trouble in Qichen Palace.
Huo Shengnan said: "When you went to Ci'en Garden before, you could have told the Queen Mother frankly about your encounters after coming to Yongdu. Why did you say nothing about it?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I went to Ci'en Garden to treat the Queen Mother's illness, and I was a disciple of the Shennong Society at the time. If I tell the truth, wouldn't the Queen Mother suspect that I have other purposes?"
Huo Shengnan said: "But you will also have a chance in the future."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "General Huo, to tell you the truth, since our mission came to Yongdu, it has been treated coldly and humiliated all the time. Xiaotian once thought that Dayong is a great country with etiquette.
, how can you act like this? Maybe some things are caused by others. Maybe everything will get better after the Dayong royal family knows about this matter. Based on the idea of trying not to harm the diplomatic relations between the two countries, peace is the most important thing and tolerance is the most important thing.
First of all, I didn’t expect that I have been in Yongdu for many days. Not to mention being summoned by your emperor, not even a decent minister came to receive me. Is this behavior called disrespectful? How can people not be angry? "
Huo Shengnan's eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a look of shame on his pretty face. Although these things were not done by her, from Dayong's point of view, all of this was indeed extremely disrespectful.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although it is still early before the wedding day, we can also see that these things are unusual. I found the envoy stationed in Dayong and tried to confess the matter to the emperor of your country through him. Unfortunately, there is no way to complain.
, I also thought about explaining this matter to the Queen Mother. But then I heard that this series of things was probably done by Concubine Shu and her son, so I hesitated again."
Huo Shengnan said: "Why are you hesitating?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are too few people in the world who can help or not help relatives. I'm worried that it will be useless to speak out."
Huo Shengnan said: "The Queen Mother is not the kind of person you think. Hu Xiaotian, the Queen Mother already knows about your affairs. I am here to tell you that from today on, I will fully take over the security tasks of Qichen Palace."
Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard this. What Huo Shengnan said meant that the Queen Mother had decided to intervene in the wedding, but the joy in his heart was only fleeting. Princess Anping was simply a fake. This matter was not terrible, but it was really terrible.
But what happened was that she was not Zijuan but Xiyan. Thinking of Xiyan's purpose of impersonating him, Hu Xiaotian felt chilled in his heart. She most likely wanted to harm the seventh prince Xue Daoming. If she succeeded, Dayong and Dakang would definitely turn against each other.
It is very likely that a war will start because of this. Hu Xiaotian originally wanted the Yong royal family to intervene in this matter, but now it finally attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, but at this time his state of mind has changed drastically.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Seriously?"
Huo Shengnan said: "Why should I lie to you? The Queen Mother is very angry because of her indifference to your mission. She has sent people to investigate. As long as the initiator of this matter is found out, he will be severely punished."
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Huo would like to thank the Queen Mother for me."
Huo Shengnan said: "I will speak to the Queen Mother. But I still need Mr. Hu to explain what happened just now."
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be confused and said, "I wonder what General Huo is referring to?"
Huo Shengnan said: "Gathering people and horses to fight with the three brothers of the Dong family in the street, do you think Dayong has no royal law?".
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Huo said this just to bully me, an outsider. It wasn't me who gathered people to fight with the Dong brothers, but the three brothers gathered people and surrounded Nanfeng Inn, saying they wanted to avenge Fang Lianye.
If General Huo hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid nearly a hundred lives of our mission would have been lost in their hands."
Huo Shengnan said: "If you hadn't led everyone to Qichen Palace to cause trouble, how could you have given the Dong brothers an excuse to take revenge?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "In the end, it is our own people who are against our own people. Since General Huo said this, Xiaotian has nothing to say."
Huo Shengnan said: "I know something about you. When the mission first arrived in Dayong, there were only thirty-six people including Princess Anping, but now you have nearly a hundred people. Mr. Hu, can you tell me how many people you have gathered?
What exactly do the centaurs want to do?”
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Huo, our mission encountered a shipwreck in the Yongjiang River. There were many casualties and many missing people. Later, these missing brothers were found one after another. It was necessary to escort the princess to Yongdu to get married.
Our responsibilities are ours, can General Huo understand what I say?"
Huo Shengnan said: "It doesn't matter whether I understand it or not. Let alone more than a hundred subordinates, even if Mr. Hu brings a delegation of ten thousand people, he won't be able to cause any trouble in Yongdu." What she said was categorical.
It's loud and clear.
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "I am leading the delegation here for the purpose of marriage between the two countries, and I am here with friendship. Does it mean that General Huo doubts my sincerity?"
Huo Shengnan said: "A lot of things happened after Mr. Hu came to Yongdu. It's not that I don't believe Mr. Hu, but it's just that many things happened by coincidence."
Hu Xiaotian secretly wondered, could it be that they blamed him for the attack on the blacksmith shop by the Winged Warriors? If so, wouldn't he be unjustly accused?
Huo Shengnan said: "The Queen Mother will come out to preside over the wedding of the Seventh Prince and Princess Anping. Mr. Hu can rest assured."
Hu Xiaotian looked like he had a spring breeze on his face, but he was miserable in his heart. It was troublesome, it was big trouble. Now that Empress Dowager Jiang had come forward, no one would dare to embarrass them in the future. But if Xiyan, the witch, was really sent to the Seventh Prince
Xue Daoming's marriage is tantamount to pushing Dayong and Dakang into rupture and war. Although Hu Xiaotian does not care about so-called national affairs, when national affairs are closely combined with his own vital interests, he has to consider and have to go
Concern, if Xiyan harms Xue Daoming, then she has tricked herself. She must prevent this from happening at all costs.
When Huo Shengnan saw that Hu Xiaotian had not spoken, he thought he had other ideas, and said softly: "If Mr. Hu has any requests, just tell me directly. As long as Shengnan does his best, he will do it for Mr. Hu. I will do anything beyond my ability."
I will report it to the Queen Mother."
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Huo, if I understand you correctly, from today on you and your female soldiers will be responsible for the security of Qichen Palace?"
"Until the wedding in March." Huo Shengnan picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said: "So Mr. Hu does not have to worry about the safety of the princess, nor does he need to worry about your own safety. The Queen Mother asked me to tell Mr. Hu that it is better to move back to Qichen.
We live in the palace to prevent those who don’t know the truth from thinking that we, Dayong, have treated your country’s envoys lightly.”
Hu Xiaotian sneered in his heart, are you asking us to make up for it now? We were kicked out before, and now we are asked to go back. Who do you think we are? Are we just going to come and go as soon as you call them? Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. It's just us.
Brother Bang has always been free and uninhibited, and he is used to living in Nanfeng Inn, so it is best to continue living there."
Huo Shengnan said: "Master Hu really wants to reject the Queen Mother's wishes?" Her words were soft but hard at the same time, clearly hinting to Hu Xiaotian that you have to go to the Chen Palace this time, and you have to go if you don't.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since it is the Queen Mother's intention, it is disrespectful. My brothers and I will take care of things later..."
Huo Shengnan interrupted him and said: "Qichen Palace cannot accommodate so many people. I will be fully responsible for the safety of Princess Anping, and Mr. Hu does not need to worry."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What do you mean, General Huo? Are you going to let my group of people leave now?" In fact, he was eager to send most of his warriors back and said this just to test Huo Shengnan's intentions.
Huo Shengnan said: "Master Hu, why would you let others speculate?"
Hu Xiaotian slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, frowned and made a troubled expression. After a while, he said: "As General Huo said, except for those who must stay, let the others go back first."
Huo Shengnan smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Hu, for understanding my difficulties." She didn't know that Hu Xiaotian had already made preparations for most of his men to return first, but now that he was just pushing the boat, it meant that Huo Shengnan had given him an excellent reason.
, Aren't you worried that I will lead my men to cause trouble in Yongdu? Now that I have shown my sincerity and let most of the people go first, you should have nothing to say now.
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that after my subordinates leave, if someone bullies us again, then I won't be able to call the heavens for help, and the earth will be helpless?"
Huo Shengnan said: "Don't worry, Master Hu. From today on, anyone who dares to provoke Master Hu innocently will have trouble with me, Huo Shengnan!"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Okay, since General Huo has said this, Xiaotian won't say anything more. I will make arrangements later and go to Qichen Palace as soon as possible."
Huo Shengnan stood up with a smile and said, "It's time for me to go to Qichen Palace to take over the affairs there. Master Hu, I'd better hurry up and get there."
Hu Xiaotian sent Huo Shengnan out and just returned to Nanfeng Inn, Wu Jingshan came to Hu Xiaotian in a panic. Ever since the three brothers of the Dong family led their troops to besiege the inn, Wu Jingshan had been frightened to the point of losing seven souls and six souls. He had already made up his mind.
No matter what kind of face he has, he has to leave first no matter what this time. Although he considers that once the fake princess is exposed, he will probably be destroyed, but he can live one more day, and he doesn't want to
Since Hu Xiaotian was willing to bear the responsibility of dying in a foreign country without any explanation, he certainly couldn't ask for it.
Wu Jingshan said worriedly: "How? What did General Huo say?"
The second update is coming. I am also drunk with this monthly ticket. From yesterday to today, there is no one. There is something wrong with the system, or Octopus misunderstood. Please give me a monthly ticket to help Octopus escape poverty! (To be continued...)
