Night arrived unknowingly. When Hu Xiaotian walked out of the palace, the sky was already full of stars. Looking up at the stars in the sky, his father's face appeared in front of his eyes. According to the time, his father should have gone to sea to Luosong, and there were still many people traveling with him.
There are Xiao Tianmu, Zhan Peng and Murong Feiyan. This trip to Luosong is to open up the maritime food transportation channel, but how many things is his father still hiding from him? Why can he know that navigation chart at a glance? About the chart
Why did grandma not even tell her biological daughter, but told him instead? Is it just that she didn’t want to worry her mother?
Hu Xiaotian had never doubted his father's motives before, but after the conversation with Li Tianheng, past events came to his mind. He suddenly found that too many things could not withstand scrutiny, and there were doubts about too many things, but he had always chosen
Just ignore it.△,
In the middle of the court, not only did he have to face the foolish and ruthless emperor, but he also had to be wary of his colleagues around him. Such a shocking environment created his father's deep scheming. Deep in his heart, Hu Xiaotian tried to explain to his father, but he
I can never give a reason why my father deceived me.
Even if he didn't have time to explain to himself at the beginning, after the emperor pardoned him, he had many opportunities to explain clearly to himself. Even if he had too much hesitation, he should have told himself before going to Xichuan as an envoy this time.
However, his father never said anything. Hu Xiaotian shook his head, with a wry smile on his lips. His father was more complicated than he thought.
If Long Xiyue's departure made Hu Xiaotian doubt love, his father's behavior this time undoubtedly made him shaken about family ties. If a person has the ambition to seize the throne, then family ties will be in his mind again.
How much weight does it occupy?
There were light footsteps behind him. Hu Xiaotian turned around and saw Yan Nujiao appearing behind him. She was holding a small blue calico parcel in her hand. She stood in the night wind, because she had worked hard all day.
Because of this, his expression looked a little tired and his face was a little pale, making him look as pale as a chrysanthemum.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What are you doing?"
Yan Nujiao said: "His Highness's condition has stabilized. I can't help you much by staying here. So I want to go back as soon as possible to avoid worrying my second brother."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'll give it to you!"
Yan Nujiao shook her head and said, "No."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's getting late, I'm not worried about you going back alone."
Yan Nujiao hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Before Hu Xiaotian left, he went to visit King Zhou again. After blood transfusion and surgery, King Zhou's condition stabilized and he slept very peacefully in bed. Zhou Wenju was always by his side. Hearing that Hu Xiaotian was going to send Yan Nujiao back, he ordered
He nodded and said: "Master Hu, just go back, I will take care of you here. Judging from the pulse, His Highness King Zhou should have passed the dangerous period and his life is safe." Zhou Wenju also breathed a sigh of relief. If King Zhou
If something happens, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape.
After Hu Xiaotian confessed, he left Qiuhua Palace with Yan Nujiao. Li Tianheng had made it clear before that he would not embarrass them, and agreed that he could leave Xizhou at any time as long as Hu Xiaotian was willing. However, he should still tell him face to face before leaving.
Li Tianheng was not surprised at all when Hu Xiaotian left. Everything had been expected by him, so he smiled and said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "His Royal Highness King Zhou's injury has stabilized. There is no use for me to stay."
Li Tianheng said: "If you are worried that the emperor will hold you accountable if you go back like this, you can stay in Xichuan. As far as I know, Mr. Hu has also left the capital."
Hu Xiaotian was surprised by Li Tianheng's well-informed information. It seemed that he also had internal contacts within the imperial court. Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "What value do I have if I stay in Xichuan?"
Li Tianheng heard something in Hu Xiaotian's words: "It seems that my nephew has great ambitions."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't have any lofty ambitions. But the situation is pressing. I know clearly that the emperor will be unfavorable to me, but I have to go back. My mother is still in Kangdu. How can I abandon my mother and ignore her as a son of a human being?"
Li Tianheng praised: "You are indeed a filial son."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Since Li Shuai let me go, I'd better tell Li Shuai something." He told Li Tianheng the conversation between Hoge and Xue Shengjing that he heard in Dayong Posthouse.
once.
After hearing what he said, Li Tianheng's face became extremely solemn. He had never believed in Hoge, a foreign son-in-law. He had been fighting with the Sharjah people in Xichuan for decades, and he knew the temperament of the Sharjah people. This was a
For a nation full of ambition and aggression, marriage can only provide temporary relief, but it will never bring about permanent peace.
Li Tianheng said: "Xiannephew, are you worried that I will form an alliance with Dayong?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, Li Shuai should know better than me. If Dayong destroys Dakang, the next target will be Xichuan."
Li Tianheng sighed and said: "I have no ambition to expand. I just want to stay in a corner and keep the peace of the people in Xichuan. It is enough. I have no intention of intervening in Dakang's affairs, nor will I take the initiative to attack, let alone join forces with Dayong."
."
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, Li Tianheng would be wrong if he really thought this way. In today's troubled times, it's not that if you don't provoke others, others will give up the idea of invading and annexing you. The geographical location of Xichuan is so important. It guards the southwest gateway of the Central Plains, Sharjah.
They have always been eyeing Xichuan. If Dayong once sends his troops south, Sharjah is likely to take the opportunity to defeat the Yulan Kingdom. When the time comes, he and Dayong will attack from both sides, and Xichuan will probably not be able to survive.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Li still needs to be more careful. This is what my nephew said." He must remind Li Tianheng to beware of Sharjah's actions behind his back. This is not only related to Xichuan, but also related to the future situation of the Central Plains. This
It was the first time he called Li Tianheng uncle after the birthday party.
Li Tianheng looked at Hu Xiaotian, nodded slowly and said: "You are a good young man, but sometimes you want to do big things, so you shouldn't worry too much."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "In Uncle Li's eyes, to do great things, do you have to be alone and disown all your relatives?"
Li Tianheng pursed his lips and sighed: "I won't hide it from you. In fact, someone once entrusted me to keep you in Xichuan."
Hu Xiaotian was startled. Could it be that Li Tianheng was talking about his father? It seemed that his father still cared about him, but in doing so, did he consider his mother who was still in Kangdu? He was not afraid that the emperor would kill his mother in anger.
Kill? In revenge for the departure of their father and son? He whispered: "Who is it?"
Li Tianheng said: "Old Mrs. Xu! Your grandmother!"
Hu Xiaotian was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. Which mother in the world would be so cruel as to send her daughter to a dead end? This grandmother of hers was really different. It was unbelievable.
Li Tianheng said: "Xiaotian, if you are willing to stay, I can still marry Wuyou to you." His eyes were full of sincerity, and his words were enough to show his love and appreciation for Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
"Is it possible that you dislike Wuyou's disabled legs?"
Hu Xiaotian bowed deeply to Li Tianheng and said: "Uncle Li, you will never forget my great kindness and virtuous nephew. Xiaotian has no intention of despising Sister Wuyou, but my mother is still waiting for me in the capital. If I don't go back
, my mother will undoubtedly die."
Li Tianheng said: "Even if you go back, you may not be able to change her fate. You..." Li Tianheng stopped talking and let out a long sigh.
Hu Xiaotian was vaguely aware that Li Tianheng must be hiding something about himself. He remembered that Li Tianheng and I had accidentally told him about his father's departure from the capital just now. This matter was extremely secretive. Even if the emperor knew about it, he had no reason to leak it to Li Tianheng, let alone Qiqi.
Could it be that his father leaked the secret himself? Hu Xiaotian thought of the letter he gave to Li Tianheng. He regretted a little and regretted why he didn't take a peek in advance. Mrs. Xu, father and others behaved very differently. What is the relationship between them?
What secrets are they hiding from their mother? Is her mother simply insignificant in their eyes? If even my mother is like this, what about me?
Li Tianheng saw that Hu Xiaotian had made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him. Before Hu Xiaotian left, Li Tianheng said: "Wuyou likes you very much. If you encounter any trouble in Kangdu, you can come back at any time."
Li Tianheng's words always echoed in Hu Xiaotian's ears, making him a little touched, but what brought him more confusion was that he and Li Wuyou had only met once, why could Li Wuyou have such emotions?
Li Tianheng's love for him was obviously influenced by Li Wuyou. In the past, Hu Xiaotian might have been shameless and attributed everything to his own charm, but the recent events had made him recognize the reality and deal with feelings.
, women are always more rational than men.
When escorting Yan Nujiao back to her footing on Xiangyang Street, she was also cautious, for fear of being followed by someone. Fortunately, no one was found following her along the way, and she returned to her footing smoothly.
When the two went back, Yan Boguang was leading a group of men who were having a conflict with Xiong Tianba and others. However, Yan Boguang saw that his sister had not come back after following Hu Xiaotian for so long, so he went out to look for her, but Xiong Tianba stuck to his principles.
Always remember what Hu Xiaotian said, no one is allowed to leave until he and Yan Nujiao come back. Although Yan Boguang is afraid of Hu Xiaotian, he does not buy it for his subordinates, not to mention that his subordinates are coming one after another.
When we meet here, we already have the numerical advantage.
Yang Lingqi and Liang Yinghao certainly didn't want internal conflicts to occur at this time. They were trying to persuade each other when Hu Xiaotian came back.
Yan Boguang was relieved when he saw his sister returned safely. He pointed at Xiong Tianba and threatened, "Little monkey, be careful." Seeing that Xiong Tianba was dark and thin, he called him that.
Xiong Tianba had a violent temper and couldn't bear the insult from this guy. He roared angrily: "Damn it, I'm going to beat you back into your mother's womb right now!" When he was about to charge with his fist, Hu Xiaotian stopped him.
Yan Nujiao also grabbed the troublemaking brother.
The first update is here, please! (To be continued...)
