Hu Xiaotian said: "There is no prejudice. The rise and fall of the Li family has nothing to do with my money." After venting, he actually felt that the tightness in his chest was relieved a lot. He said to Xiyan again: "Also, you
Remember, whether you want to kill Xue Daoming or Wanyan Chixiong, it has nothing to do with me, and I will never participate in any of your plans again. I will leave Yongdu on your wedding day.
Run away as far as you can.”
"you……"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It was just for the sake of the people of the Central Plains to stop you from causing trouble, and also because I have a little bit of affection for you, and it can be regarded as a little bit of selfishness on my part. Since you don't appreciate it, why bother using my enthusiasm?"
I’ll put my face against your cold ass!”
Xi Yan's pretty face heated up because of this guy's rude words. It was so rude to actually say such shameless and dirty words.
Xi Yan said: "You are not afraid..."
Before he could finish his threatening words, he was interrupted by Hu Xiaotian: "What is there to be afraid of? If you are not afraid of being a eunuch, why should you be afraid of death?". "Nothing" "Wrong"
Xi Yan said: "Do you think you can escape?"
"Then I won't bother you."
Xi Yan said: "I'm afraid there's something you don't know yet. Your mother is not in the capital right now!"
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this. He looked at Xiyan doubtfully and said, "How do you know?"
Xi Yan said: "She has returned to her parents' home in Jinling. Ji Feihua had someone escort her back."
Hu Xiaotian sneered, his eyes full of suspicion.
Xi Yan said: "You have always been so suspicious. Look back and think about it. When have I ever harmed you?"
Hu Xiaotian was secretly wondering. Ever since she came to Yongdu, she had never left the house and stayed in Qichen Palace all the time. Where did she get the news? Did she deliberately create a smoke screen?
Is it true that she wants to disturb her state of mind? Is there someone inside Chen Palace who is behind this incident?
Seeing the doubt on Hu Xiaotian's face, Xi Yan knew that he didn't believe her words. She said softly: "Whether you believe it or not, the only one who can guarantee the safety of your family is me..." Perhaps she realized that she had said something wrong,
She added: "We are the Five Immortals Sect."
Hu Xiaotian looked at her quietly, making Xiyan feel a little weak in her heart. She bit her lips and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Why would a girl get involved in these things? Fighting for the throne and the world is a man's game. How about you find a man to marry, how good will it be to have a husband and raise children?"
Xiyan pursed her lips and said, "You are such a treacherous person. You have already moved on to someone else. I don't want to marry you."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Women are too scheming to be cute, too smart to be cute, and those who play politics are even more unlovable. Xiyan, for women, power and wealth are the most illusory things. Find someone you like.
A man who treats himself well is the real winner in life."
Xi Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Are you giving me soup?".
Hu Xiaotian said: "All good things to say, you still have to choose for yourself where to go. In short, don't try to force me to do anything." After he said that, he turned and walked out of the door.
Xiyan looked at the back of him who left resolutely, her eyes were a little crazy. She felt that Hu Xiaotian was so handsome at the moment when he turned around and left.
As night fell, Liang Yinghao still didn't come back. This made Zhou Mo a little worried. Before he left, he said he would come back before dark, but he didn't know why he was delayed? After discussing with Hu Xiaotian, he decided to talk to Xiong Tianba
The two of them went out to look for each other. The closer they got to their wedding, the less they wanted anything to go wrong.
After dinner, Hu Xiaotian rested for a while and began to practice swordsmanship. He held the Tiangfeng in his hand and began to slowly deduce the swordsmanship drawn in the sword manual. The real subtlety of the swordsmanship hidden in the Xuantie card lies in the teaching of swordsmanship.
Externally, Qi training is the main focus, and swordsmanship moves are secondary. Although Hu Xiaotian practiced diligently, he still could not control the sword Qi freely. The more he practiced, the more he felt that the swordsmanship in this map was broad and profound. Even the beginning of it
He still hasn't fully mastered the essence of the first move, and Hu Xiaotian has not continued to practice. Youdao is always trying to bite off more than you can chew, and it is best to practice steadily. However, the set of spiritual snakes that Xumitian taught him
He has mastered the Nine Swords now.
Zhou Mo went with Xiong Tianba for an hour but still didn't come back. There was no news about Liang Yinghao who had left before. Hu Xiaotian felt a little anxious. He put away his hidden front and went outside to see the situation. He happened to meet the former
Yang Xuan came to see him, but someone came from the palace. The eunuch who came was Bai Desheng, the eunuch of the Great Yong Palace. Although he was not the prefect of the ceremonial department, he was one of the top figures in the ceremonial department. He came with him.
There are also two eunuchs.
Hu Xiaotian originally thought that Bai Desheng came here because of the wedding, but he never thought that Bai Desheng came here because of Emperor Dayong's affairs.
After everyone had retreated, Bai Desheng said: "Hello, Mr. Hu. I am the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Bai Desheng, who used to serve the emperor. Tonight, I have specially invited Mr. Hu to enter the palace in accordance with the emperor's order."
Hu Xiaotian was startled in his heart, and immediately understood that Xue Shengkang must have wanted him to enter the palace for follow-up consultation. He smiled and said: "How is the emperor?"
Bai Desheng said: "Very good, thanks to Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian's question just now was quite clever. It did not clarify Xue Shengkang's condition, but it was also intended to test whether Bai Desheng knew about what he had done. Judging from Bai Desheng's answer, there should be no problem. It seemed that Bai Desheng already knew
After learning the inside story, Xue Shengkang told himself yesterday that he would keep the matter of the operation on him strictly confidential. Since he could tell Bai Desheng, it proved that this eunuch was definitely someone he trusted.
Bai Desheng said respectfully: "Master Hu, the carriages and horses are already waiting outside. Let's leave quickly. Don't keep the emperor waiting."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why didn't Commander Shi come tonight?"
Bai Desheng smiled and said: "There are other things in the palace for Commander Shi to do, so the emperor asked me to come."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. He asked Bai Desheng to go out and wait. He came to Yang Xuan and whispered: "General Yang, the emperor has summoned me to the palace."
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Master Hu, just go and I will take full precautions for the princess's safety."
Hu Xiaotian said: "When some of my men come back, tell them where I am going and don't make them anxious." Because he didn't know when he would be back from the palace tonight, Hu Xiaotian said this.
Yang Xuan said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian left Qichen Palace and got into the carriage prepared by Bai Desheng. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the imperial city. This time he went to the imperial palace, which was not as tightly guarded as last night. Hu Xiaotian opened the curtain and
Looking at both sides of the road, it was getting late and there were few pedestrians on the road. Looking up, there was no moon and no stars tonight, and the weather was a bit gloomy.
Bai Desheng rode up to the carriage, looked at Hu Xiaotian with a smile and said, "Master Hu, it's still a long way to the imperial city. You might as well take this opportunity to rest in peace."
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Has your Majesty had dinner?"
Bai Desheng smiled and said: "I have used it. Your Majesty has a good appetite tonight and has eaten a lot."
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this, how could it be possible? He had clearly told him that he could not eat until a day later. From the time of the operation to now, it had been less than a day. Even if Xue Shengkang recovered quickly and could eat something, it would still be impossible.
Yes and yes, he also ate a lot of food. Was it Xue Shengkang who didn't follow his doctor's orders or was it Bai Desheng who just said what he said?
Hu Xiaotian said casually: "Is the emperor's appetite okay?"
Bai Desheng smiled and said: "It's okay, okay, he's feeling much better today. I asked the imperial kitchen to stew a pigeon for him."
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, what the hell? Bai Desheng's words were full of loopholes. How could Xue Shengkang eat such greasy food after his gallbladder had just been cut?
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It seems that the emperor's illness has been completely cured." He looked around and saw that everything was covered in night. He was not familiar with the geographical conditions of Yongdu, so he deliberately tried to test: "Eunuch Bai, this seems like
This is not the way to the palace."
Bai Desheng said with a smile: "The roads in Yongdu City extend in all directions. You can reach the palace from any road. We are taking a shortcut today because we want to get to the palace quickly so as not to worry the emperor."
Hu Xiaotian said: "That's bad, I actually forgot something important."
Bai Desheng asked: "What happened?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I promised to go to the eldest princess's house to meet her tonight, but look at my memory, I actually forgot all about it."
Bai Desheng said: "There's no rush, I'll take you there when I see the emperor."
At this time, Hu Xiaotian could almost conclude that Bai Desheng must be deceitful. The eldest princess Xue Lingjun was still taking care of the emperor in the palace at this time. Since Bai Desheng came under the emperor's order, it was impossible not to know about her presence in the palace.
Why do people deceive themselves? What is his intention? Hu Xiaotian put down the car curtain, feeling uneasy in his heart. It seems that the so-called summons tonight is just a scam. These people want to do harm to themselves, and they will remove themselves from Qi Chen Palace
Maybe the purpose of cheating is to get rid of yourself.
Because he was going to the palace to meet the saint, Hu Xiaotian did not bring any weapons. He listened carefully. Apart from the sound of horse hooves and the wheels rolling on the bluestone road, there was also the sound of water flowing in the distance. There should be a small river nearby.
.
As the sound of water flowing became clearer and clearer, they should be gradually approaching the river bank. Hu Xiaotian opened the curtain again and said: "Oh, it's broken. My stomach hurts!"
Bai Desheng pretended to be concerned and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian clutched his stomach with a look of pain on his face: "Maybe it's because of the bad food at night... Oops, I can't hold it in anymore, I can't do it anymore, I have to find a convenient place to park the car! Stop the car quickly!" Bai Desheng could only ask people to stop.
The carriage stopped, Hu Xiaotian opened the door and walked out, only to see a small river not far away. Their carriage was only ten feet away from the arch bridge on the river.
Hu Xiaotian held his stomach and ran towards the river bank. (To be continued...)
