Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth [The Sound of the Wind] (Part 1)
Li Tianheng had completely calmed down at this time, and slowly put down the cooled tea cup in his hand. He stared at Zhang Ziqian with a deep gaze and said, "What do you think, Brother Ziqian?" The person he relied on most in Xichuan was Zhang Ziqian. Every day
Whenever he faced a major moment of decision-making, he would seek advice from Zhang Ziqian. It was precisely because of Zhang Ziqian's help that he was able to get where he is today.
Zhang Ziqian said: "The commander-in-chief must make a decision."
Li Tianheng said: "That's why I want to ask what you mean."
Zhang Ziqian said: "The longer it is delayed, the easier it will be for something to happen. We must make a decisive decision and suppress the generals who want to rebel without hesitation. We cannot let the matter continue to spread. We must find out the root cause and find out their accomplices.
And we will catch them all." At this point, Zhang Ziqian paused and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, this matter must be related to Dakang. The imperial court also understands this truth. If the commander is under control, perhaps he can regain control.
To control the situation in Xichuan, the commander-in-chief needs to be careful."
Li Tianheng remained silent. Although Zhang Ziqian said it tactfully, Li Tianheng already understood what he meant. Although Xichuan was under Li's control, his foundation was not solid. In the past, the soldiers were convinced and the people's support was because of his victory.
Under the banner of loyalty to the imperial court, once the army and the people discover that his true purpose is to rebel and stand on his own feet, internal divisions will be inevitable. With the power accumulated over the years, he may be able to suppress this group of soldiers and people, but if he becomes a traitor,
It's hard to say what will happen.
Li Tianheng stood up and walked slowly for a few steps, and whispered: "How should I treat King Zhou?"
Zhang Ziqian said: "Your Majesty is fatuous. The reason why Dakang is today is all because of his fatuousness. Why not let the King of Zhou write an edict of conquest, enumerate the crimes of the fatuous king, support the King of Zhou as the emperor, and eradicate the traitors under the banner of supporting orthodoxy?
?”
Li Tianheng's expression seemed a little hesitant, and he said without concern: "But your Majesty is the orthodoxy of the country of Dakang."
Zhang Ziqian said: "In the past, there was Ji Feihua who disrupted the government, and today there is Hong Beimo usurping power. If I want to write about it, I can write down thousands of their crimes and make them the target of thousands of people in the world!"
Li Tianheng was very happy when he heard this. He nodded heavily and said: "I have brother Zi Qian's help, like a fish in water. If brother Zi Qian hadn't given me some guidance, Tian Heng wouldn't have known where to go!"
Zhang Ziqian said respectfully: "The commander-in-chief is destined by fate, and heaven has given him a great responsibility. I hope the commander-in-chief will seize the opportunity in front of him and never be indecisive. Make a clear decision and save the land of Xichuan to benefit the people."
Li Tianheng nodded repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to catch all those traitors tonight, and I want to see what they are capable of!" He originally wanted to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish, and find out who Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang were.
All his comrades would start to attack later. But Zhang Ziqian's words made him suddenly change his mind.
This night in Xizhou was quite uneasy. Hu Xiaotian did not notice the changes outside. After returning to the post house, he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. He first found a mirror and looked at his face. Last night
The punch that the man in black armor gave him was really not light, but after a night's rest, there were only a few bruises left on the skin on his face. If you don't look carefully, you can't notice it. It seems that his face has resisted a lot.
His fighting ability is pretty good.
There was a gentle knock on the door from outside, and after receiving the answer, Xiong Tianba and Tang Tiexin walked in together. As soon as Xiong Tianba entered the door, he shouted: "Uncle Third, something big happened outside, there are armed soldiers everywhere.
"
Hu Xiaotian was shocked: "What?" He thought he was coming towards them.
Tang Tiexin added: "They didn't come for us. I heard that someone wanted to do harm to the envoys who came to congratulate them, so they were arrested by Marshal Li."
Hu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Who is it?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
Xiong Tianba couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw the armor on the ground. He stepped forward, grabbed a piece of armor and marked it on his body: "Uncle, this armor is good, where did you get it from?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Picked it up!"
Xiong Tianba said with envy: "How come such a good thing hasn't happened to me?"
Hu Xiaotian knew from the look on his face that he liked this set of armor, and said with a smile: "This set of armor is missing a breastplate. If you don't mind it, just use it."
Xiong Tianba was overjoyed: "Thank you, third uncle, I don't need a breastplate, I have a sledgehammer! No breastplate is as strong as my sledgehammer!"
Hu Xiaotian yawned and said: "You continue to inquire about the situation. If you have any news, report back as soon as possible. Remember, don't make trouble!"
Not long after the two left, Xiong Tianba came back and informed Hu Xiaotian that it was Princess Xue Lingjun who had arrived.
Hu Xiaotian had just finished washing up and nodded to Xiong Tianba to invite her in.
Xue Lingjun is still dressed in men's clothes this time. For a charming and delicate woman like her, even a man's clothes can't hide her charm.
Hu Xiaotian took advantage of this moment to drink a bowl of clear porridge. When he saw Xue Lingjun coming in, he stood up to greet him and said, "Sister Jun is here so early!"
Xue Lingjun smiled coquettishly and said: "I'm not like you men, who have to go out to have fun at night. I go to bed early, so I naturally get up early."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled. From her words, it can be inferred that Xue Lingjun must have known about King Yan's invitation to them to drink wine at Zhongxiang Pavilion last night.
Xue Lingjun said: "Looking at you, you must have had a lot of fun last night!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If we hadn't been interrupted midway, we would have been happy, but it's a pity that a blind bastard disturbed our enjoyment of the wine."
Xue Lingjun was observant and noticed the bruises on Hu Xiaotian's face. He reached out and touched Hu Xiaotian's face without hesitation, as if he was distressed: "What's wrong with you? How could you be hurt here?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart. Neither Xiong Tianba nor Tang Tiexin noticed that his face was injured.
He saw the road clearly and hit his head against a pillar."
Xue Lingjun was not suspicious and sighed leisurely: "Does it hurt? Wouldn't it be a pity if such a handsome face was damaged?" He held Hu Xiaotian's face with both hands. Hu Xiaotian felt like he was being taken advantage of, looking at it from a close distance.
Xue Lingjun's beautiful face and the tenderness in her eyes trapped Hu Xiaotian. Her beautiful eyes were so captivating that she said delicately: "I don't know why? I was dreaming about you all night long."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I also dreamed about Sister Jun all night last night."
Xue Lingjun's pretty face was slightly red, looking even more charming. Ruolan blew her breath and said, "What did you dream about me?"
"Sister Jun, tell me first!"
Xue Lingjun bit her lips and said with a lingering look: "I dreamed of you...well...I'd better not say it. Anyway, you are not a good person!"
Hu Xiaotian felt that he had some reaction somewhere, and quickly dismissed the unreasonable thoughts in his mind, Xue Lingjun, Xue Lingjun, you are indeed the number one person. Fortunately, I have extraordinary concentration. If it were another man, wouldn't I be killed by you?
He was so fascinated that he even forgot who his biological father and mother were. Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that Sister Jun and I had an idea. I also did something bad in my dream." He didn't say anything about the bad thing.
This kind of thing can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. Since you, Xue Lingjun, can express it, I can't be vague about it either.
Xue Lingjun raised his cheeks and spat: "I knew you were not a good person!" He stretched out his finger and tapped Hu Xiaotian's forehead.
Hu Xiaotian took the opportunity to reach out and grab her slender hand. It was soft and boneless, smooth and soft. It was really a great enjoyment. However, Xue Lingjun gently broke away from his grasp, turned around and sat down on the chair.
If Hu Xiaotian used force, there would be no chance for her to break free. But with Xue Lingjun’s identity, he wouldn’t dare to borrow Hu Xiaotian’s courage. He sat down with Xue Lingjun with a smile: “Sister Jun, is this the only reason why you came to me?
?”
Xue Lingjun said: "You are a bad boy. You took advantage of my sister as soon as we met. You made my sister so confused that she forgot all important things."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's only my fault that my sister was born so beautiful and charming. It really attracts people to commit crimes!"
Xue Lingjun's smile was as bright as a flower, with two shallow pear dimples appearing on his pretty face, and he said softly: "Do you want to commit a crime?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What is the serious matter that sister said?"
Xue Lingjun wanted to tease him for a while longer, but he didn't expect that this kid suddenly returned to his seriousness. From his clear eyes, he could infer that the way he acted just now was just a show. Xue Lingjun's teeth were itching, brat, actually
Come with me, I've been showing off my charm for a long time, but you're just perfunctory with me. People are very competitive. Xue Lingjun has always been conceited about her beauty. Over the years, I don't know how many men have fallen under her pomegranate skirt, and I don't know how many people have fallen in love with her because of it.
She died because of it, but now she met Hu Xiaotian, but she felt like she had met her nemesis. According to Jianping, Hu Xiaotian was a eunuch, but it was rumored that Hu Xiaotian was a normal man, and judging from his various behaviors, he didn't look like a eunuch. This made Xue Lingjun
Deeply confused, she stretched out her hand to tuck the hair around her cheeks and said seriously, "Do you know what happened in Xizhou last night?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know. I just heard that there were suddenly soldiers and horses in Xizhou City. I just asked someone to find out what happened."
Xue Lingjun said: "Li Tianheng's two capable men, Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang, conspired to rebel. The plan was discovered by Li Tianheng in advance, so he ordered all these rebel generals to be captured. It is said that more than ten generals involved were arrested last night. The entire Xizhou
The wind in the city is roaring, and people are in panic."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Let's not interfere with other people's affairs. After all, the purpose of our visit this time is just to celebrate birthdays."
Xue Lingjun stared into Hu Xiaotian's eyes and said meaningfully: "Others can not care, but you can't. This matter may have something to do with you."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh: "What do you mean, Sister Jun?"
