Hong Beimo looked at Long Xuanen as he spoke. Tianxiang Kingdom is the southernmost country on this continent. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The Yunling Mountains in the north form a natural boundary with Dakang. Although the two countries are bordering each other, they have very little contact with each other.
However, there is an extraordinary relationship between Tianxiang Kingdom and Dakang. The Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom, Long Xuanjiao, is Long Xuanen's biological sister. After the death of the king of Tianxiang Kingdom, Long Xuanjiao has already taken control of the power of Tianxiang Kingdom.
It's just that the relationship between the brother and sister was extremely cold. After Long Xuanjiao married into Tianxiang Kingdom, she was never heard of returning to Dakang's natal family or having any contact with Dakang.
Long Xuan'en, who was short of food in Dakang, also sent someone to ask for help from Tianxiang Kingdom, but the envoy never returned. It is said that he disappeared mysteriously without even having a chance to see the Queen Mother.
Long Xuan'en said: "Then send someone to investigate. We must get to the bottom of this matter."

The death of Xu Fengyi still caused quite a shock in the court. Officials came to express their condolences one after another. Of course, most of them were for the sake of Princess Yongyang Qiqi. Hu Buwei has not yet been reinstated. Hu Xiaotian is also a
The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard cannot attract much attention given the current status of the Hu family.
Few people know about Hu Buwei's whereabouts. Qiqi goes to the DPRK to handle the government affairs every day during the day, and at night he comes to the Hu Mansion to accompany Hu Xiaotian to watch the vigil. Hu Xiaotian doesn't say anything, but he is quite touched in his heart. This little girl
As I grew older, I became more sensible.
Although Long Xuanen did not come in person, he sent Wang Qian to express condolences on his behalf and wrote an elegiac couplet personally. However, the Jinling Xu family did not send anyone over, which confirmed Xu Fengyi's words from the side.
The authenticity of the words also allowed Hu Xiaotian to see clearly the indifference of the Xu family. He had unknowingly developed deep resentment towards the Xu family. Hu Buwei still had no news, so Hu Xiaotian began to help Xiao Tianmu.
Zhan Peng, Murong Feiyan and others became worried. If this trip to sea was all a conspiracy planned by their father for a long time, wouldn't Xiao Tianmu and others have become innocent victims?
After burying his mother, Hu Xiaotian found Qiqi. According to the custom of Dakang, when a parent dies, a son must observe filial piety for three years. This is a good opportunity for Hu Xiaotian to escape.
After Qiqi heard that Hu Xiaotian was resigning to observe his filial piety, he was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you going to ignore my affairs?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Highness Princess, please don't misunderstand. It is the duty of every child to watch over the deceased mother's body. Xiaotian is just resigning, not leaving Kangdu, so how could he be indifferent to the princess's affairs.
"
Qiqi said: "Three years... I don't know if Dakang can survive for three years with its current situation. You know, except for you, I can't trust anyone else in this court."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Royal Highness, the reason why Xiaotian resigned is to keep filial piety for my mother, and secondly because of my father's affairs. The emperor has already doubted me. How can he trust me? If your Royal Highness insists,
Appointing me will only displease the emperor."
Qiqi said: "I don't care what he thinks. The reason why Dakang is in the current situation is not because of him. Do you want to leave, do you want to take this opportunity to leave here forever and never come back?" She
His expression was tense and he was obviously confused.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Qiqi. Things will not end like this. Do you think the emperor will let me leave? There is still no news about my father. If I leave Kangdu now, the emperor will definitely think that my father and I are conspiring to betray each other."
.”
Qiqi said: "You mean, Mr. Hu will not come back?"
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips and said: "Although I really want him to come back, the truth is often cruel. The reason why my mother died of illness was because of sadness and despair."
Although Hu Xiaotian did not say why Xu Fengyi was sad and despairing, Qi Qi had already guessed that Xu Fengyi must have understood the fact that Hu Buwei would never return to the sea, so she became ill and finally died in depression.
Qiqi said: "He is him and you are you. Even if he never comes back, you don't need to be responsible for his affairs."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I finally understand that people who want to achieve great things cannot have feelings." He looked into Qiqi's eyes and said: "The emperor is very special, he knows the situation of Dakang better than anyone else.
"
Qiqi said: "I understand, I know, he only thinks of me as a puppet!" Her chest heaved violently. This was the first time she had shown her true feelings in front of others.
Hu Xiaotian stared at Qiqi blankly, with some doubts in his eyes. Since Qiqi already understood Long Xuanen's true intention, why was he willing to be used by him? He just wanted to remind Qiqi to beware of Long Xuanen, an ambitious leader.
, this kind of person will never take into account any family affection. As long as he needs it, he can sacrifice his closest relatives at any time. There is no existence of family affection and friendship in their hearts. Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of his father who had never heard from him. Why didn't Hu Bu Why?
in this way?
Qiqi's beautiful eyes were filled with expectation: "Are you still willing to help me?"
Hu Xiaotian did not answer Qiqi's question directly, but whispered: "I will let Brother Zhou and Yang Lingqi continue to follow up on the matter of Shence Mansion. I will not leave Kangdu for the time being."
Qiqi felt warm in her heart. Hu Xiaotian left these people in Shence Mansion to continue to help him. Maybe now is not the time to discuss future plans with him. He needs some time to repair the wounds in his heart.
Xu Fengyi was buried in Luoyun Mountain, southeast of Kangdu, ninety miles away from Kangdu City. It happened to be located at the center of the imperial mausoleum and Kangdu. The reason why Hu Xiaotian chose this place was not only because of the beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery, but also because of the beautiful scenery here.
The geographical conditions are particularly suitable for underground excavation.
Hu Xiaotian bought a manor at the foot of Luoyun Mountain as his base outside Kangdu City, and named it Fengyi Villa after his mother.
The villa itself is not big, covering an area of more than ten acres. However, Liang Yinghao led his former brothers from the Muddy Waters Gang to renovate the villa. In just one month, the villa was criss-crossed and dug in all directions.
After experiencing the emperor's frame-up, his father's betrayal, and his mother's death from illness, Hu Xiaotian had completely given up on the Dakang Dynasty. Although he wanted to find the whereabouts of Murong Feiyan, he also understood that although the old emperor agreed to his resignation
Keep your filial piety, but you will never let him go too far away from Kangdu. If you find that you have plans to stay away from Kangdu, you will most likely kill yourself.
After learning from the painful experience, Hu Xiaotian already had clear plans for the future. He no longer wanted to escape reality. He wanted to use everything he had to retaliate against the careerists who conspired to design him. He wanted to truly control his own destiny.
in hands.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Hu Xiaotian settled down in front of his mother's grave and spent most of this time practicing martial arts. Zhao Chongwu and Tang Tiexin had gone to the south to inquire about information a month ago and still have not returned. Hu Bu
The last news came from Nanjin Island. From then on, it seemed as if the world had disappeared, and there was no news from the fifty-man fleet.
Today is the fifth day of his mother's life. Hu Xiaotian was burning incense and paper in front of the grave. When he was kneeling down to worship, he saw two figures coming up from the mountain. They were Huo Shengnan and Visa. Every day during this period, Visa would come to deliver meals to Hu Xiaotian. Huo Shengnan
However, he followed Hu Xiaotian's instructions and presided over the construction of the Shence Mansion in Kangdu City. Despite this, he would come here every seven days.
Hu Xiaotian has obviously become darker and thinner, and has grown a thick beard under his lips and chin, which makes his temperament much deeper and more restrained. His eyes are bright, and his gaze seems to be deeper and more penetrating than before.
Huo Shengnan presented the tributes he had brought, then lit the paper money and worshiped at Xu Fengyi's grave with Visa.
After paying homage, he came to Hu Xiaotian and said softly: "It's already passed May 7th, how long do you want to live in this thatched cottage?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled lightly: "What news is there in the capital?"
Huo Shengnan knew that what he was most concerned about was still the news about Hu Buwei and the fleet. He shook his head and said: "There is still no news. It seems that the fleet did not go to Luosong."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yang Lingqi and I have studied the charts carefully these days. If we don't go to Luosong, there are only three islands in this route that can accommodate fifty warships. According to recent news, these three
The islands have been basically eliminated, which means they should have changed their route. After replenishing supplies from Nanjin Island, if they don’t go to Luosong, the most likely place to go is to turn back to the southwest and enter the Tianxiang Kingdom.”
Huo Shengnan said: "But there is no such news from Tianxiang Kingdom."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If my guess is true, there must be someone in the Tianxiang Kingdom who cooperates, and this person has considerable power, and can even cover the sky with one hand in the Tianxiang Kingdom."
Huo Shengnan said: "There was a civil unrest in Haizhou. The local people captured the government office and killed all the governors of the state."
"The government forces the people to rebel, and the people have no food to eat, so of course they have to rebel." Hu Xiaotian has heard a lot of news about people's rebellion recently, and he is no longer surprised. He believes that such things will only increase in number.
Huo Shengnan said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess really wants you to go back. She asked us to persuade you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It doesn't matter whether I go back or not."
Huo Shengnan glanced at Xu Fengyi's tomb and whispered: "Even if Aunt Quanxia knew it, I don't want you to stay here forever."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't want to stay here forever, but I want to calm down. I'm thinking about what I should do in the future."
Huo Shengnan said: "The emperor is ignorant and immoral, the people are revolting one after another, and the powerful powers are surrounding him. The crisis is about to break out. You should plan carefully."
Hu Xiaotian was about to speak when he saw another group of people coming up from the foot of the mountain. It turned out that Princess Yongyang had arrived on Qiqi. It was difficult for her to remember that today was the day of Xu Fengyi's May 7th, so she came all the way from Kangdu to pay homage. At the same time, she thought it was for
Meet with Hu Xiaotian and persuade him to go back with him.
