Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Six [Fight and Fight] (Part 1)
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not because of fear, it's because I have love in my heart. I understand that there is true love in the world, and I'm not a cold-blooded animal that doesn't recognize its relatives."
Qiqi said angrily: "How dare you scold me!"
Hu Xiaotian blinked and said: "I didn't tell you. Others don't know, and I don't know. When you were in trouble at Lanruo Temple, you still had feelings for Quan De'an. Otherwise, why would you care about his life or death? You
It’s not bad for me.”
When Qi Qi heard what he said, the expression on her face softened slightly, and she said softly: "You still have some conscience."
Hu Xiaotian's next words made her furious again: "Although I also understand that you are just using me and think I have some value, otherwise you wouldn't help me."
Qiqi said: "What value do you have? Apart from being smooth-talking, I really haven't found any ability in you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you have the ability, you must publicize it so that everyone in the world knows about it? That's called offering treasures. A person with such connotation and depth as me disdains it."
"You..." Qiqi sneered.
At this time, the sound of neat footsteps came from downstairs. The two stopped talking and looked outside, only to see a team of hundreds of people passing by the road in front of the door. Since the civil unrest in the Imperial Tomb last night, the atmosphere in Kangdu City has changed.
It also became suddenly tense. In order to prevent possible civil unrest, the entire city of Kangdu began to impose martial law, and patrolling Habayashi troops could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that there is something wrong with the atmosphere today!"
The waiter happened to come in to serve the food, and Qiqi took the initiative to fill up the wine bottle for Hu Xiaotian. He also poured a glass himself, and Hu Xiaotian took the wine glass in front of her.
Qiqi said: "What are you doing?"
"Minors are not allowed to drink." Hu Xiaotian drank two glasses of wine one after another, smacking his mouth: "The wine is good!" Then he said to Qiqi, who looked stunned, "You drink tea!"
Qiqi shook her head helplessly.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What happened?"
Qiqi said: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? There was a civil unrest in the Imperial Tomb last night. Fifty thousand workers rebelled and annihilated the tomb guard. They are now heading north."
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be surprised and said: "Such a big thing happened, and you didn't tell me earlier."
Qiqi said: "There is already a storm in the city, don't you know?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have been in the house for the past two days and never left the door. How could I have known that such a big thing happened outside."
Qiqi didn't believe his lies.
Hu Xiaotian said: "How does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?"
Qiqi said: "He has already issued a kill order."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If all fifty thousand workers are killed, I don't know how many families will suffer misfortune. As a result, Dakang will have many more enemies."
Qiqi sighed and said: "I don't agree with him doing this either. We have sent people to the front to supervise the army. This matter must be handled with caution."
Hu Xiaotian secretly praised Qiqi. Although Qiqi was young, his mind was very mature and knew how to deal with the complex situation in front of him. He whispered: "The emperor is obsessed with the way of immortality. The situation in Dakang is so bad, he will do this again."
It seems unwise to invest so much money and manpower in the construction of imperial mausoleums."
Qiqi said: "He has a stubborn and extreme temperament. I tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Princess must never give in on important matters. Otherwise, I am afraid that foreign enemies will come and Dakang will be in chaos from within."
Qiqi said: "I am also worried about this matter. The imperial court of Dakang has changed frequently in recent years, and the hearts of the ministers are unstable. The treasury is empty, and natural disasters continue. The people are complaining. The civil unrest in the imperial mausoleum is just one of many civil unrest in Dakang.
The soldiers of Dakang have been working hard in the country for the past two years. Often, just after one civil unrest has been quelled, another one begins to break out. If things go on like this, the country will be ruined." She looked at Hu Xiaotian with a pair of clear eyes, and said sincerely: "I can
The power we have today is inseparable from the support of the emperor. Even if he is wrong, I can't use extreme methods to argue. Most of these courtiers are not thinking about political affairs. Although they don't say it, I learn from them.
It can be seen in their eyes that they all have long despised Dakang, and there are not many people around me who I can trust." At this point, Qiqi's beautiful eyes actually shed a trace of crystal tears. Everyone else saw it.
Who knows about her appearance in front of others and the tremendous pressure and pain she has endured these days. She is not yet fourteen years old. Girls from other families are still carefree at her age, but she has to do it for her.
Work hard to save this dying empire.
Qiqi suddenly understood the reason why she wanted to be kind to Hu Xiaotian. It was not because of his ability or his family background, but because she could find someone to listen to her when she was depressed and hesitant. Her purpose was only to use others.
, and using Hu Xiaotian is just an excuse.
Hu Xiaotian caught the trace of tears in Qiqi's eyes, and was actually touched in his heart. Qiqi's scheming and government tended to make him accustomed to ignoring her age. At this time, Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized that she was just a child.
Although she is mature enough, it does not mean that her immature heart can withstand all pressure and blows. Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, you don't need to be so tired."
Qiqi said: "I also want to not care about anything and live as I please, but I am a descendant of the Long family. I cannot just watch the inheritance left by my ancestors be destroyed."
Hu Xiaotian said: "No one will live forever, and no dynasty can last forever."
Qiqi nodded and said: "Of course I understand this truth, but if Dakang dies, what kind of life will the subjects and people live? What kind of dignity can they have if they are conquered and enslaved by others? If people lose their
Dignity, what’s the point of even living in this world?”
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself, in fact, the earth will turn around no matter who it is. In the hearts of the Long family, only the Long family can give the people of Dakang the so-called dignity and dignity? Hu Xiaotian did not realize that the subjects of Dakang have any dignity at all. Due to the system,
Not only Dakang, but also the surrounding countries including Dayong, who can have real dignity except the monarch, but these words cannot be mentioned to Xiao Nizi.
Qiqi said: "I won't hide it from you. Because the Jinling Xu family refused your Majesty's request, your Majesty was so angry that he wanted to have your whole family prosecuted. I asked people to take your parents away. One is to protect them, and the other is to block the world."
Youyou's mouth is to prevent anyone from discovering the fact that Xu Jiaming built a plank road in Jinling and secretly visited Chen Cang."
Hu Xiaotian said: "My father worked hard for Dakang and fulfilled his responsibilities, but in the end he ended up like this. How can you not be heartbroken?"
Qiqi said: "Master Hu understands the righteousness well. I have told my intentions frankly, and he also expressed his understanding of my actions."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If my father implements the Dakang maritime trade route, can you let my father and mother free?" Hu Xiaotian did not ask for any reward, but asked for real freedom on behalf of his parents.
Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then bit her lips and said, "You don't want to help me anymore?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just want my parents to take care of themselves as early as possible. In fact, I have always believed that wanting someone to help you wholeheartedly is not to hold others' leverage and to coerce or induce them, but to convince them with virtue."
, treat each other with sincerity.”
Qiqi was silent for a while, thoughtful.
Hu Xiaotian thought that his words touched her heart, but he never thought that Qiqi would ask back: "What if he is an immoral person?"
Hu Xiaotian pointed to his nose: "You mean me?"
Qiqi nodded and said, "I can't trust your character!"
When the two left Xiao Jiangnan, they saw a beggar standing in front of the door begging for food. The beggar was over 10 feet tall and burly, and seemed to have a good face. When Hu Xiaotian thought about it, he actually stole their mount on the first day of the new year.
Zhu Dali also besieged them.
Qiqi also recognized this rude man. If Hu Xiaotian hadn't interceded last time, she would never have let these beggars leave. When she saw Zhu Dali, her eyes suddenly widened and she said coldly: "A dignified seven-foot man."
Don’t you feel ashamed if you are not diligent in all aspects of your life and don’t know how to separate grains from grains? You don’t know how to serve your family and country, but you are idle, lazy about food and work, and would rather beg for a living?”
Zhu Dali must have recognized them. He was secretly looking at Qiqi, but when he heard Qiqi say this, even a fool could tell that she was talking about him. Zhu Dali hit the dog beating stick in his hand on the ground.
, his two big eyes widened fiercely, and he snorted angrily.
Of course Qiqi will not be afraid of him. With Hu Xiaotian as a shield, and Quan De'an's gang following in the distance, she doesn't think it's a big deal: "Why are you so mean? I'm talking about you!"
Zhu Dali was so angry that he screamed and gritted his teeth: "A good man won't fight with a woman, I can't bear it anymore!" But his eyes were fixed on Hu Xiaotian fiercely: "Boy, you dare to laugh at me, don't you deserve a beating?"
Hu Xiaotian didn't say a word during the whole process, sighing in his heart, what the hell are you doing to me? Do you think you are picking persimmons? Only the soft ones? The problem is that I am not soft either. Not only that, I am very tough and very strong.
Zhu Dali pointed at Hu Xiaotian’s nose and said, “Boy, I’m talking about you!”
Qi Qi was really fooled by this guy. He was the instigator of the trouble. Instead of looking for her, he looked for Hu Xiaotian. Judging from the situation, he wanted to beat Hu Xiaotian to vent his anger. Qi Qi was not afraid of big trouble. He laughed.
Said: "Hu Xiaotian, everyone has bullied you, you really want to be a coward!"
Zhu Dali actually became happy when he heard what she said. He pointed at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Looking at your dog-like appearance, I didn't expect that you are actually a turtle with a shrunken head. Haha, this title really suits you."
Which is intolerable? Of course Hu Xiaotian understood that Qiqi was deliberately provoking trouble, but Zhu Dali, a rude man, really bullied others and really thought I was easy to bully. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother, please be careful when speaking.
Be virtuous, otherwise you will easily suffer losses."
Zhu Dali seemed to be convinced by Hu Xiaotian: "Suffering a big loss? I, Zhu Dali, am the only one who doesn't know how to write the word "lose" in my life. What? You have the guts to have a fair fight with me."
