Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty Sixth [Life Is Dying] (1)
Wan Tingsheng laughed softly and said, "What are you afraid of? My father went to my uncle's house as a guest, and my brother went to Lanxiangyuan and has been living there for more than half a month."
Li Xiangzhi couldn't help but sigh again and said: "This wolf-hearted thing has lost his soul after being seduced by that little bitch."
Hearing this, Hu Xiaotian screamed inwardly that it was not good. It turned out that none of the Wan family's father and son were here. His eyes turned to Xiong Tianba and Liu Kuohai, who were quietly approaching this side. He hurriedly made a gesture, asking them to wait patiently and listen to the couple.
What do adulterers and adulterers say?
Wan Tingsheng said: "My sister-in-law is really passionate about him."
Li Xiangzhi spat: "That heartless thing can't compare to you."
Wan Tingsheng chuckled and said, "How can he be inferior to me?"
Li Xiangzhi said delicately: "I can't compare to you anywhere. You have strengths that he doesn't have!" The dissolute feeling was palpable.
Wan Tingsheng said with a lewd smile: "Then sister-in-law, tell me, what are my strengths?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, everyone in the Wan family, young and old, was nothing.
Wan Tingsheng pulled Li Xiangzhi into his arms and rubbed her chest with his big hands.
Li Xiangzhi said: "Don't worry, wait until I turn out the lights."
Wan Tingsheng said: "You don't have to turn off the lights, I just like to see my sister-in-law's white body."
Li Xiangzhi gasped as he kneaded her, but at the critical moment she grabbed his hand and said, "Did I hear that you are going to South Vietnam next month?"
Wan Tingsheng was interrupted by her and nodded: "Yes! My father asked me to go to South Vietnam to do a big business."
Li Xiangzhi said: "How about I come with you?"
Wan Tingsheng said: "Xiangzhi, the time is not yet ripe. It would be bad if my father and the others find out."
Li Xiangzhi pushed Wan Tingsheng away and sighed: "You think I don't understand your thoughts. All of you Wan family members are just those who just wipe their mouths and run away after they are full."
Wan Tingsheng said: "But it's obviously my sister-in-law who is eating me." He stepped forward and hugged Li Xiangzhi. Li Xiangzhi cursed and did not break away this time. He grabbed Wan Tingsheng's hand and said: "This time
When you go to South Vietnam and pass Qingyun, can you take my brother with you? Let him learn how to do business with you."
Wan Tingsheng shook his head and said: "No!"
Li Xiangzhi was so angry that she pushed him away again: "Why not?"
Wan Tingsheng said: "Don't you know, sister-in-law, that my father and Yan Kui of Tianlang Mountain have turned against each other, and the passage from Tianlang Mountain can no longer be unobstructed. This time I go to South Vietnam to detour from the south of Xichuan to reopen a trade route.
.”
Li Xiangzhi said: "Why should we turn against each other?"
Wan Tingsheng said: "It's just that Yan Kui is greedy and wants too much. If we agree to his request, all of us in the Wan family will become his coolies and work for him in vain."
Hu Xiaotian used to suspect that Wan Boping and the horse thieves had colluded, but now it was finally confirmed. No wonder Wanjia's business has been able to run smoothly in Tianlang Mountain. But for this reason, Hu Xiaotian quietly retreated to Xiong Tianba and his two men. Liu Kuohai lowered his voice
The voice said: "Sir, how is it?"
Hu Xiaotian entered the secret passage through voice transmission: "Wan Tingchang is not here..." At this moment, he suddenly felt something moving on the roof, and hurriedly motioned for the two of them to hide, but he saw five black shadows appearing on the roof on the west side. Five black shadows appeared on the roof on the west side.
The shadows were all dressed in black and masked. They held bright long knives in their hands. One of them made a gesture, and the five of them split up. One of them ran directly to the east wing where Li Xiangzhi lived.
Xiong Tianba and Liu Kuohai were confused by the scene in front of them. How dare someone else sneak into Wanjia besides the three of them?
Xiong Tianba said impatiently: "Third uncle, shall we come too?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Watch patiently!"
At this time, screams were heard from inside the room. The five people had obviously started killing.
Hu Xiaotian told the two of them not to interfere, and quietly retreated with them. When they came outside, Hu Xiaotian said: "Wan Tingchang is in Lanxiang Courtyard."
When Liu Kuohai heard the news about his enemy, he immediately said: "Sir, let's go over and kill that bastard right now!"
Hu Xiaotian turned around and looked in the direction of Wanfu, and saw that Wanfu was already on fire. The killers who sneaked into Wanfu set the house on fire after killing people. Judging from the methods of this group of people, they should be skilled in this kind of robbery.
Bandits, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the conversation between Wan Tingsheng and Li Xiangzhi just now. Could it be that the horse bandits from Tianlang Mountain were tracking this?
Hu Xiaotian and the others went to Lanxiangyuan, but did not enter it. Instead, they chose the only way from Lanxiangyuan to Wanjia to ambush. According to Hu Xiaotian's estimation, the news of the fire in Wanjia would soon reach Wan Tingchang's ears.
As expected, as Hu Xiaotian expected, the three of them had been lying in wait for a long time before they saw Wan Tingchang getting into a carriage from Lanxiang Courtyard and hurried away in the direction of Wan's family.
In the dark night, the carriage rushed towards the south of Xiezhou City. Hu Xiaotian winked. Xiong Tianba and Liu Kuohai tightened the rope at the same time. The rope was always on the road. The two horses pulling the carriage
The strong horse was caught by the rope and neighed. The horse lost its front hoof and fell to the ground with a plop. The carriage rolled over due to inertia, with the wheels facing up and fell to the ground. The driver was thrown aside, and Wan Tingchang in the carriage was thrown to the ground.
He was beaten to pieces and was dizzy. Before he could figure out what happened, a strong hand pulled open the car door and dragged him out of the car.
Wan Tingchang panicked and said in a trembling voice: "Hero... spare your life... I will give you whatever money you want..."
Poof! Liu Kuohai spat in his face, then pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into his heart.
Wan Tingchang's body twitched several times and then stopped moving. Liu Kuohai couldn't help but shed two lines of hot tears in his eyes when he saw that his great revenge was finally avenged. Hu Xiaotian was worried that the night would be long and the things here would be different soon.
Alarming the guards in the city, he patted Liu Kuohai on the shoulder. Liu Kuohai then threw down Wan Tingchang's body, turned around and disappeared into the night with them. I think this time Wan Tingchang was killed and Wan's family was on fire.
Everything was recorded on that group of killers. In all likelihood, that group of people should have come from Tianlang Mountain and tracked them to Xiezhou just to take revenge on Wan Boping.
After Hu Xiaotian helped Liu Kuohai get his revenge smoothly, the group met in Sanhe Town, crossed Pengyin Mountain and headed straight to Kangdu. After entering Dakang, everyone relaxed and hurried back while admiring the scenery along the way.
The scenery was beautiful, but what they saw mostly were scenes of people displaced, mourning everywhere, and fields desolate.
Although we did not encounter any dangers along the way, everyone's mood became extremely heavy after seeing the suffering of the people in Kangdu. It was still summer when we left, but it was already late autumn when we arrived in Kangdu.
Hours and minutes.
The official road outside Kangdu City was covered with fallen leaves. From a distance, it looked like it was paved with a golden passage. Such a beautiful late autumn scenery, but I had no intention of admiring it because of my mood.
Visa rode a rouge horse and rode alongside Hu Xiaotian. Seeing Hu Xiaotian's solemn expression and frowning, he asked softly: "Master, Kangdu is ahead, why do you look unhappy?"
Hu Xiaotian raised his head and looked up. With his eyesight, he could already see the majestic walls of Kangdu, but there was no joy in his heart. Returning to Kangdu did not mean that the mission was over. There was definitely a battle waiting for him.
Unprecedented storms, the old emperor failed to get his wish to take back Xichuan, and a new conspiracy will definitely be born against him. I wonder if his father will go well after going to sea?
Hu Xiaotian has been having the same nightmare these days. He dreamed that his father's fleet encountered storms at sea. He dreamed of Murong Feiyan's pale face and dull eyes. Hu Xiaotian didn't even dare to think about it in detail, and he felt relieved.
He said in one breath: "We're almost there."
Yang Lingqi rode up from behind and said in a low voice: "The palace master is worried about the emperor's attitude, right?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have completed the mission he taught me. Even if he wants to trouble me, he still needs a high-sounding excuse."
Yang Lingqi said: "The palace master should go and see Princess Yongyang first."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. He thought the same way. If he wanted to get through this crisis without any trouble, Qiqi must step forward. His little fiancée probably didn't want to become a widow so early.
Someone was galloping towards them on horseback. The first person Hu Xiaotian recognized was Liang Dazhuang. He couldn't help but wonder, how did this guy know that he was back? They tried to keep a low profile on their return trip and did not reveal the specific return journey to anyone.
Liang Dazhuang ran up to them, got off his horse, knelt down in front of Hu Xiaotian's horse with a plop, and said breathlessly: "Master, you are finally back... Madam... Madam... she can't survive..."
Hu Xiaotian felt as if he was struck by a thunderbolt from the clear sky and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Liang Dazhuang said with tears: "A few days after the young master left, my wife became ill, and then the master left again, and the wife's condition continued to worsen. I asked someone to deliver a message to Xichuan, but for some reason I couldn't find the young master. We called in famous doctors, and my wife
However, her situation has never improved. The situation has been getting worse and worse in the past two days. If she hadn't been waiting for the young master to come back, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to support her now. So I stayed outside the city and waited for the young master to return. The Emperor has eyes.
Master, you..." It was as if a whirlwind was blowing around him, but it was Hu Xiaotian, riding his horse and whipping his whip, riding Xiao Hui like a gray lightning bolt towards the direction of Kangdu City.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't believe that his mother was in good health when she left. How could she suddenly become ill and become so serious? His mother's kind face appeared in front of his eyes, and he thought of his mother's sadness when he left home.
Face, Hu Xiaotian was heartbroken. If he had known that things would be like this, he would never have gone to Xichuan. These days, he has always been in a heavy mood. It seems that he had a premonition in his heart. Why was his return so slow? If he had been a few days earlier,
It would be great to come over here.
Hu Xiaotian ran all the way back to Shangshu Mansion. He still galloped on horseback after entering the mansion gate. He was so startled that a group of servants ducked out of the way. When he came to the courtyard where his parents lived, Hu Xiaotian turned over and dismounted and said loudly: "Mother! Mother! The unfilial son Xiaotian is back.
