Before leaving, Hu Xiaotian came to his parents' residence to say goodbye. His father had been invited to the household department early in the morning. Only his mother was there. When Hu Xiaotian arrived, his mother was chatting with Murong Feiyan. The two seemed to be getting along extremely well, and they were talking to each other.
He laughed from time to time. When he saw Hu Xiaotian coming in, Murong Feiyan stopped laughing, stood up and said: "Mrs. Xu, I'm leaving first, so I won't delay you two chatting."
Xu Fengyi nodded. When Murong Feiyan passed by Hu Xiaotian, she didn't even look at him.
Hu Xiaotian's eyes followed her beautiful figure, and he didn't turn to his mother until Murong Feiyan's figure disappeared outside the door.
Of course Xu Fengyi could see her son's disappointment and smiled: "What? Are you having trouble?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's not the case, it just feels like she has been deliberately alienating me these past two days."
Xu Fengyi said: "Feiyan has a strong personality. Your engagement to Princess Yongyang is a big blow to her, but my mother can still see that she still likes and cares about you in her heart. She just said
You are talking to me about your affairs."
Hu Xiaotian said cheerfully: "Mom, what are you talking about about me?"
"You've been living with dementia for sixteen years, and suddenly you've become smarter!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Wouldn't it be exposing your son's shortcomings?"
Xu Fengyi smiled and said: "The sky has eyes and has given me a son who is smart, wise and brave. The Zhou family canceled our marriage at first, but now they regret it."
Hu Xiaotian secretly felt ashamed. Xu Fengyi would never have the chance to know that he had just borrowed this body to be reborn. His consciousness and mind were not that fool at all. The danger of going to Xichuan was hidden in the hearts of Hu Xiaotian and his father. Of course, Hu Xiaotian did not want his mother to worry.
, so although Xu Fengyi felt a little reluctant to leave, she did not have the same feeling of separation and death as when Hu Xiaotian was on his mission to Dayong. Today, Hu Buwei left early in order to dilute the sorrow of separation and make his wife think that his son's trip was not
What a big deal.
Xu Fengyi took out a letter and said: "This is what your father left behind. I asked you to hand it to Li Tianheng when you arrive in Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian took it solemnly. Hu Buwei and Li Tianheng had a close relationship. If Long Yelin hadn't tried to usurp the throne, the two families might have become one family. When Hu Xiaotian went to Qingyun to take up his post, Li Tianheng asked his chief adviser Zhang Ziqian to investigate.
Understanding this future son-in-law shows that he attaches great importance to this marriage. Later, Hu Xiaotian escorted King Zhou to Xiezhou and was trapped by Li Honghan. If he had not been able to escape from Xichuan at that time, he did not know what the final outcome would have been.
Xu Fengyi said: "After all, our Hu family and Li family were engaged first. Although you are favored by the emperor and have Princess Yongyang betrothed to you to become Dakang's future consort, there are some things that must be made clear. The emperor has granted Li Tianheng the title
As the king, that means Li Tianheng and your father will probably still be in the same palace and ministers in the future. Even if they can't become in-laws, there is no need to break the relationship. Your father has written everything clearly in this letter. You can go to Xichuan to see you.
After arriving at Li Tianheng, I must explain it to him properly."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
Xu Fengyi said: "Feiyan has decided to accompany your father to Luosong. I wanted to persuade her to stay with me, but this little girl has a very stubborn temperament."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's a good thing that she made this trip. The imperial court already knows that she was rescued from the imperial mausoleum. An official arrest warrant has been issued and she is listed as a key criminal. She will be in great danger if she stays in Kangdu."
Xu Fengyi sighed and said, "Go and see her. We'll say goodbye this time. I don't know when we'll meet again next time."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, and after bidding farewell to his mother, he came to the place where Murong Feiyan was temporarily staying. He saw Murong Feiyan standing in the courtyard, as if he had been waiting for him.
Hu Xiaotian coughed lightly to attract Murong Feiyan's attention.
Murong Feiyan did not turn around and said softly: "I have been thinking about what happened in Qingyun these two days, and suddenly I realized that that time was the happiest time in my life."
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are so many unsatisfactory things in this world. Simple things like wanting to settle down in a corner and enjoy peace and happiness have become a luxury."
Murong Feiyan slowly turned around, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes: "Take care of yourself all the way!"
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, strode forward and embraced Murong Feiyan's delicate body into his arms.
Murong Feiyan's pretty face pressed against his cheek and she said tremblingly: "Promise me that you will come back safely!"
Hu Xiaotian nodded heavily: "Same for you!"
Just after leaving the west gate of Kangdu City, the sky started to fall and rain began. Hu Xiaotian secretly cried out that it was bad luck. Does the bad start mean that his trip was full of twists and turns? Xiong Tianba rode up from behind on a big black horse and rode up with Hu Xiaotian.
OK: "Third Uncle! It's raining, should we take shelter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "No need, put on your rain gear and continue on your way."
Everyone put on raincoats and bamboo hats. This time, there were twenty-six of them heading to Xichuan, including three carriages. Except for one for Yang Lingqi, the other two were all pulling dry food and luggage needed for the journey.
Hu Xiaotian thought it was a short shower, but he did not expect that the rain would get heavier and heavier. By the time he reached the Ten Mile Pavilion, it had turned into a downpour. Even if he had rain gear to protect himself, his clothes would get wet. Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to order everyone to enter the pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
When they came to the pavilion, they found that there were already two people resting in the pavilion. What surprised Hu Xiaotian was that these two people were actually old acquaintances. One was Meng Zizai and the other was Qin Yutong. The first thing that popped into Hu Xiaotian's mind was
One thought was that Qin Yutong made a special trip to see her off, but judging from the luggage on the two horses, they looked like they were traveling far away.
Meng Zizai couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Xiaotian and said: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Commander Hu here!"
Hu Xiaotian raised his hands and saluted: "Mr. Meng, where are you going?"
Meng Zizai smiled and said: "Where are you coming from? Although the capital is prosperous, it is not my hometown. I want to return to Qingyun Black Stone Village in Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Qin Yutong with a smile and said, "Miss Qin is here to see Mr. Meng off?"
Qin Yutong said calmly: "I will accompany my uncle there."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Doesn't that mean we are together!"
Meng Zizai said in surprise: "You want to go to Xichuan too?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Exactly! If Mr. Meng and Miss Qin don't mind, how about we go together? It's good to take care of each other on the way."
Meng Zizai stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, of course it's the best." Qin Yutong didn't say anything, and she didn't seem to object from the look on her face.
The rain stopped while they were talking, and everyone was on the road again. Hu Xiaotian asked Meng Zizai to get into Yang Lingqi's car and sit with him.
Although Qin Yutong was dressed as a man, she still covered her face with black gauze. Hu Xiaotian slowed down his horse and rode alongside her. He was quite curious about Qin Yutong's dress. She had given herself human skin masks several times.
With her ability to disguise herself, it was easy to get a human skin mask and put it on, but why had she never been seen wearing one? It was a coincidence that they met in Changting today. Hu Xiaotian had known Qin Yutong for a long time, but for this mysterious girl
We still know very little about her, except that she is the favorite disciple of Tian Qing, the director of Xuantian Pavilion. I remember the first time I met Qin Yutong. They met in Qingyun, and Qin Yutong took the initiative to accompany the team to escort King Zhou.
Thinking of all the previous events, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but become suspicious, and even suspected that this chance encounter in Changting was a careful arrangement by them.
Qin Yutong was the first to break the silence: "Why did Commander Hu go to Xichuan this time?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Congratulations on your birthday!"
Qin Yutong said: "Li Tianheng's fiftieth birthday is indeed a big event that shocked the world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did Miss Qin go to Xichuan?"
Qin Yutong said: "Is Commander Hu suspecting that we have another purpose?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "How could it be?" In fact, Qin Yutong exposed his thoughts, and he did doubt Qin Yutong's motives.
Qin Yutong said calmly: "Since you are suspicious, why would you invite us to come with you falsely? Commander Hu is not afraid that we will spoil your big event by following you."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Miss Qin's words are really interesting. Why don't you tell me, what's the big deal for me?"
Qin Yutong did not answer his question, but said softly: "I forgot to congratulate you, now you are the future prince-consort of Dakang."
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is nothing to congratulate. Marrying a princess is equivalent to bringing back an ancestor. You can't touch her, beat her or scold her. I don't think it's a happy event."
Qin Yutong said: "It's best not to let Princess Yongyang hear this, otherwise she will definitely want you to look good."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I can say whatever I want now."
Hu Xiaotian soon discovered the benefits of traveling with Qin Yutong and Meng Zizai. Meng Zizai was in the same car with Yang Lingqi. After contacting Yang Lingqi, he admired the young man's talent very much, and then came up with the idea of cherishing talents. Seeing that Yang Lingqi's hands were disabled, he became interested.
Sympathetic, Meng Zizai offered to treat Yang Lingqi's left hand. Meng Zizai's treatment method was to use golden needles to separate the adhering muscles, which could restore some of Yang Lingqi's finger functions. However, if he wanted to make a fundamental improvement, the ruptured tendon must be re-opened.
Suturing. After Meng Zizai's treatment, Yang Lingqi's left hand function has partially recovered, which created convenient conditions for Hu Xiaotian to perform future surgeries.
This trip to Xichuan was as smooth as Hu Xiaotian expected. He was sure that the old emperor would not be able to attack him on the way, and he could almost conclude that the danger would only begin after arriving in Xizhou. Qin Yutong was cold-hearted by nature. Although he was traveling with Hu Xiaotian,
The two of them rarely talked, so the group arrived in Xichuan smoothly.
After crossing Pengyin Mountain, it was time to part ways. Hu Xiaotian headed northwest to Xizhou, while Qin Yutong and Meng Zizai headed to Qingyun in the southwest.
