Xue Lingjun said: "So we have never thought about splitting Dakang and Xichuan. We came here just to celebrate birthdays. We will not do something as simple as a waste of effort." She paused: "Dayong doesn't
Doing it does not necessarily mean that your wish will come true. I heard that even Long Yefang, the king of Dakang Zhou, has been under house arrest in Xizhou. Maybe Li Tianheng doesn't mind keeping one more person." Mei Mu gave Hu Xiaotian a meaningful look and said
: "You seemed to have almost become Li Tianheng's son-in-law in the past."
Hu Xiaotian said: "When Sister Jun said this, I felt that I was really in danger in Xizhou."
Xue Lingjun said: "Now you know that I really care about you, right?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I've always known it." He raised his head and saw the setting sun in the west. Only then did he realize that it was already late when he was just talking to Xue Lingjun, so he hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun said softly: "If you don't want to leave, you can stay with me."
Hu Xiaotian already knows Xue Lingjun's temperament very well. She is always using her charm skills. If she takes it seriously, she is afraid that she will be fooled. Hu Xiaotian said: "I still have some important things to do. I will come to visit Sister Jun when I have time another day."
And big brother."
Xue Lingjun seemed reluctant to leave and kept sending Hu Xiaotian to the gate. Hu Xiaotian got on his horse after bidding farewell to Xue Lingjun. Liang Yinghao and Tang Tiexin were guarding him respectively. Tang Tiexin couldn't help but said: "This eldest princess is so beautiful!"
Hu Xiaotian showed a smile, whipped his horse and galloped towards the post house where he was staying.
The peace in Xizhou has not changed because of the arrival of envoys from various countries. The people live a prosperous and healthy life, and their days are still spent according to their inherent rhythm. If anything has changed, it is that there are slightly more conversations in the streets.
Xizhou tries its best to treat envoys from all countries equally. It can even be said that they receive Hu Xiaotian and his party with higher standards. Xuanning Posthouse is the one with the highest status and the most complete facilities among the major posthouses in Xizhou. In the past,
Emperor Dakang once lived here when he came to Xizhou. In this sense, it was the emperor's palace. The hospitality given to the Dakang envoys was considered to be meticulous.
Hu Xiaotian knew that the peace and tranquility in front of him was only a temporary phenomenon, and perhaps starting from Li Tianheng's birthday, everything would change drastically.
Two days before Li Tianheng's birthday, Xuanning Inn welcomed a very special guest. An old friend who had always been remembered by Hu Xiaotian, Zhou Wenju, the genius doctor of Xichuan, came to pay a visit.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zhou Wenju in front of him and could hardly believe his eyes, and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou..." Before he finished speaking, he knelt down with a pop. Not kneeling was not enough to express his gratitude to Zhou Wenju. At the beginning,
In Xiezhou, if Zhou Wenju hadn't rescued him righteously and sacrificed his life to replace him, then he would have had no chance of escaping from Li's control. In the end, he was either killed or under house arrest. He had no chance to go to the capital or see his parents, let alone
There is no need to talk about rescue. Zhou Wenju is his great benefactor and the benefactor of their Hu family. This kindness will never be forgotten by Hu Xiaotian.
When Zhou Wenju saw that Hu Xiaotian actually knelt down for him, he hurriedly stretched out his arms to help him up and said: "Master Hu, get up quickly, how can Zhou bear this!"
Everyone accompanying Hu Xiaotian was shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. Hu Xiaotian didn't even need to kneel down when he saw a noble person like Princess Yongyang, but when he saw Zhou Wenju, he actually gave such a grand ceremony. There must be a reason for this.
Hu Xiaotian stood up and held Zhou Wenju's hands, pursed his lips, turned around and said to everyone around him: "Everyone, remember, this is Mr. Zhou. He is my savior. Without Mr. Zhou, there would be no me, Hu Xiaotian."
today!"
Everyone understood, and all bowed and saluted: "See Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Wenju chuckled and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."
Hu Xiaotian invited Zhou Wenju to the post house and sat down under the grape trellis of his courtyard. After Liang Yinghao presented him with a pot of fragrant tea, everyone left.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zhou Wenju. Zhou Wenju looked a little older than before. He had obviously gained a lot of white hair on his temples, and he was also much darker and thinner. However, judging from his mental state, his health should be worry-free. Hu Xiaotian respected
He said: "Sir, are you okay?"
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Fortunately, Marshal Li thought I had medical skills and issued a pardon before Li Honghan wanted to kill me."
Hu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, sir, he is fine, otherwise Xiaotian would definitely regret it for the rest of his life."
Zhou Wenju said: "After Master Hu left, I heard some news about you one after another. You are young and promising, which made Zhou very happy."
Hu Xiaotian smiled modestly and said: "Xiaotian is today all thanks to Mr. Xie. After escaping from Xiezhou, Xiaotian also asked about Mr. Xie everywhere, but never got any definite results until he went to Dayong as an envoy at the beginning of the year. It happened that
Only when I met Xu Baichuan, the imperial physician of Dayong, did I know that my husband had escaped a disaster."
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Xu Baichuan is my senior brother. We have always exchanged letters. At the end of last year, he came to Xizhou to purchase medicinal materials. I met him once. When we discussed medical skills,
I mentioned Mr. Hu. At that time, my senior brother didn’t believe in the medical skills I described, but now he must be convinced.” The implication was that Xu Baichuan had already told him about Hu Xiaotian’s treatment of Xue Shengkang in Yongdu.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there is no airtight wall in the world. When he operated on Xue Shengkang to remove his gallbladder to treat gallstones, he specifically asked Xue Shengkang to keep the matter secret. However, after he returned to Dakang from his mission, he immediately
When it reached the imperial court, it was basically trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Even Xu Baichuan couldn't keep the secret now. Fortunately, the crisis in this matter has been resolved. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Sir, please don't praise me. My superficial medical skills are not enough."
It’s generous enough to make people laugh.”
Zhou Wenju said seriously: "Master Hu, why do you have to be so modest? I have never seen such medical skills as yours. Only the ghost doctor Fu Cui can compare with you, but that senior and I have no chance to meet each other."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Sir, if you are interested, we have plenty of opportunities to discuss things in this area."
Zhou Wenju said: "It is really a great loss for the medical community that Mr. Hu did not choose to practice medicine." He has always taken it as his mission to save the world and save people, and devoted himself to studying medical skills. He believed that medical skills can strengthen the country and save the people, but Hu Xiaotian seems to be getting more and more on the official path.
Yuan, now that he has become the consort of a wealthy family, it is definitely impossible for him to become a doctor who helps the world and saves people.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Doctors save people, and officials heal the country. Although their professions are different, what they do ultimately leads to the same goal."
Zhou Wenju nodded and said, "Master Hu came here specifically to congratulate Marshal Li on his birthday?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty sent me here not only to celebrate Marshal Li's birthday, but also to make Marshal Li king."
Zhou Wenju had actually heard rumors about this for a long time, and now that he heard it from Hu Xiaotian himself, he must be right. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "It would be best if Marshal Li is willing to lead Xichuan back to the territory of Dakang." He had a deep understanding of politics.
Zhou Wenju didn't pay much attention to it. In his heart, Zhou Wenju always believed that he was still a Kangxi person. Xichuan was just the place where he was born and raised, and Xichuan was also a part of Dakang. His thoughts also represented the majority of Xichuan people.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I just came here under orders this time. As for the outcome, I can only do my best and obey fate."
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Yes, destiny cannot be violated!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll let someone prepare for it. My husband will stay for a drink tonight. You and I will meet again after a long separation. We must get drunk this time."
Zhou Wenju said: "Not today, I have to go to His Highness King Zhou. He has been feeling unwell recently, and today happens to be the scheduled follow-up date."
Hu Xiaotian was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhou Wenju would have a chance to get close to the King of Zhou. He wanted to ask him, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind. Zhou Wenju almost lost his life trying to rescue him, but now he can't give it to him again.
Looking for trouble and not allowing him to take any more risks, he smiled and said: "Since Mr. Zhou has something to do, we have to wait for another day."
Zhou Wenju smiled and said: "Tomorrow! You are a guest from afar. Tomorrow I will prepare wine and food under the house and invite Mr. Hu to come."
Hu Xiaotian happily agreed.
After seeing Zhou Wenju off, he saw a group of knights heading this way. The one in the center was his sworn brother, Prince Hogg of Sharjah. Since the humiliation at Baiweilou, Hogg had not shown up for the past two days. Hu Xiaotian originally thought
I went to visit him, but when I arrived at the place where he lived, he happened to go to the handsome manor again.
Hogg seemed to have been freed from the setbacks of that day, and said from afar: "Brother!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother!"
Hogg turned over and dismounted, with ten warriors behind him standing ready. Since Baiwei Tower, Hogg has become more cautious. Even in Xizhou City, he will encounter dangers at any time. Now when traveling, these ten Sharjah masters are all closely guarded.
Hu Xiaotian wanted to invite Hogg to sit inside, but Hogg grabbed his arm, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Brother, I specially asked you to come and drink together."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Where?"
Hogg lowered his voice and said: "Zhongxiang Tower!"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but stick out his tongue when he heard this. Although he had never been to Zhongxiang Tower, he had already heard about it. It is said that Zhongxiang Tower is the number one romantic place in Xichuan, and is even more famous than Huancai Pavilion in Xiezhou.
, it is said that when a man walks into Zhongxiang Tower, he will leave everything behind, including his family and money bag. You will not be willing to leave until you spend every last penny.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Zhongxiang Tower?"
Hogg smiled mysteriously and said: "Someone is treating me, so I asked my brothers to come with me." (To be continued...)
