Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, there will be a place for you even in Wuxing County." Hu Zhongyang is a man of merit, and Hu Xiaotian will of course give him a reassurance.
Hu Zhongyang said: "Thank you City Lord!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How did you start your business?"
Hu Zhongyang couldn't help laughing, and then lowered his voice and said to Hu Xiaotian: "To be honest, these hands are my assets. Extending my hands is my strength, and shrinking my hands is my advantage."
Hu Xiaotian understood somewhat. This Hu Zhongyang was most likely a robber who robbed homes. No wonder he had accumulated so much wealth. He was about to speak but his eyes were fixed in the distance. Two knights were coming towards him, dusty and dusty. Those two were also there.
Seeing Hu Xiaotian at the same time, the expressions on their faces were extremely excited. They dismounted from their saddles and knelt on the ground at the same time, saying in the same voice: "Master, we finally found you!" These two people turned out to be Zhan Peng and
lofty.
Hu Xiaotian could not suppress his inner excitement. He immediately got off his horse, came to the two of them, spread his arms and embraced them into his arms. Both Zhan Peng and Hu Xiaotian's eye circles were a little red, and Gao Yuan even burst into tears with excitement.
Zhan Peng said: "Master, I'm sorry..."
Hu Xiaotian patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "It's good to come back! It's good to come back!"
After several people returned to the mansion, Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan told what happened after they left. After they boarded the ship with Hu Buwei, they went to Luosong to open up a maritime food transportation channel. After replenishing supplies at Nanjin Island, the fleet changed.
After setting the course, Zhan Peng, Gao Yuan, Murong Feiyan and others originally thought they were trying to avoid the wind and waves, but then they were drugged with anesthetics in their food and imprisoned in the bottom cabin. Only then did they know that something had happened on the way. When they saw the light of day again
At that time, it was discovered that the fleet had arrived in Tianxiang Kingdom, and the person in charge of the fleet was Xiao Tianmu.
At first, they were worried about Hu Buwei's whereabouts. Later they realized that Xiao Tianmu and Hu Buwei had conspired to design this trap. Several people were imprisoned in the dungeon of Tianxiang Kingdom. They thought they would die. But between the two
Months ago, they were suddenly released.
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought that according to the time calculation, maybe Zhou Mo had also arrived in Tianxiang Kingdom. Could it be that he was responsible for releasing Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan?
As expected by Hu Xiaotian, Zhan Peng said: "We met Zhou Mo and just found out that he and Xiao Tianmu have always worked for Mr. Hu." Although he knew that Hu Buwei had betrayed Hu Xiaotian, Zhan Peng couldn't express it well.
Excessive anger is still worthy of Mr. Hu.
Hu Xiaotian said: "What did Zhou Mo say?"
Zhan Peng said: "He didn't say anything, he just took us to see Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Is he okay?" Thinking of what Hu Buwei had done to himself and his mother, Hu Xiaotian was filled with rage. How could he be worthy of being a father if he was so ruthless?
Zhan Peng said: "He let us go, told us the news about the young master, asked us to come to the young master, and asked us to bring a message to the young master."
"What words?"
Zhan Peng said: "He said..."
"say what?"
Zhan Peng bit his lip and said, "He said he was sorry for you mother and son!"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips. Hu Buwei pushed himself and his mother into a desperate situation, and now he said he was sorry in an understatement? Maybe he still felt a little guilty in his heart, but this didn't mean that he felt sorry for himself.
He has feelings for his mother. Hu Xiaotian slowly walked to the window, pushed open the pane, took a deep breath and said, "Where is Fei Yan?"
Zhan Peng said: "When we left, Brother Zhou..." He and Zhou Mo had known each other in the past, and almost called out Brother Zhou out of habit, but he immediately realized that something was wrong and changed his words: "Zhou Mo said that she and Brother Zhou
Princess Anping is not dead. The Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom, Long Xuanjiao, is Princess Anping's aunt and loves her very much. Both of them should be under house arrest. But there is absolutely no danger."
Gao Yuan said: "Master, I never thought that Zhou...Zhou Mo and Xiao Tianmu would do such a thing!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled lightly. During this period of time, he didn't even want to think about these two sworn brothers. The biggest concern in his heart was Long Xiyue and Murong Feiyan. Now that he knows the news that the two are safe, he feels much more at ease.
, although Lao Yan separated, at least he knew that they were still living in this world. Zhou Mo should have played a certain role in Hu Buwei letting Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan go. Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan were not that important in Hu Buwei's plan.
Murong Feiyan and Long Xiyue were different. Both Xiao Tianmu and Hu Buwei knew how important they were to them. Leaving Long Xiyue behind may have something to do with Long Xuanjiao, the Queen Mother of Tianxiang Kingdom, but Murong Feiyan was
Hu Buwei was detained in Tianxiang Kingdom because he either wanted to use her against himself, or he wanted to use her to blackmail Murong Zhan.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the sky outside the window. A lost lone goose was flying through the sky, trying its best to fly to the south of the Yangtze River. It was flying very slowly, and he didn't know whether it could support its smooth destination. Hu Xiaotian said softly: "Just come back.
!" It seemed like he was talking to Zhan Peng and Gao Yuan, or he was talking to himself.
Zhan Peng said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely rescue Miss Murong." He was deeply trusted, but he failed to complete the mission assigned to him by Hu Xiaotian, so he naturally felt ashamed of Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The reason why they dare to touch my people is because they think I can't do anything to them. I want them to realize our strength, to make them afraid, to make them fearful and not dare to hurt me again."
My relatives, my friends!”
On the day he left Dongliang County, Hu Xiaotian made a special trip to Zhuge Guanqi's home. Zhuge Guanqi was digging out the soil from under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and taking out the jar of fine wine that had been stored for many years.
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "Brother Guanqi doesn't want to call me if he wants to drink!"
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "This jar of wine was taken out just to give you great strength!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "How do you know I will definitely come?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "I don't know, so I prepared it in advance."
Hu Xiaotian said meaningfully: "Is there anything in the world that can be hidden from Brother Guanqi?"
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "Guanqi is also a mortal. If he can see through everything, how can he be so poor?"
"Some people are willing to live in poverty. Brother Guanqi's realm has long been transcendent!"
Zhuge Guanqi laughed loudly, took the jar of wine out of the pit, placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, and said loudly: "Ling Xue, bring the bowl!"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "No, I'll drink this wine when I come back to celebrate."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded: "That's fine!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm leaving now. Brother Guanqi, do you have any suggestions?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "No matter how perfect the plan is, it still depends on God's will."
Hu Xiaotian said: "In your opinion, what is God's will?"
Zhuge Guanqi raised his head and saw that the blue sky was high and vast, with not a single cloud in the sky.
Hu Xiaotian followed his example and raised his head and looked at the sky: "The weather is good!" Suddenly he remembered the jade Pixiu he gave to Qi Qi. If he wore it, he could predict wind and rain. The weather was too good, but it was not a good thing.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The day after tomorrow is the day when the last batch of prisoners will be exchanged?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It's probably the time of the decisive battle."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "It's not a possibility, it's a destiny. Things destined by God are difficult to change."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Guanqi, haven't you heard of the saying that man can conquer heaven?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The world is infinite, life and death are limited, why do you have to fight with the sky? Instead of fighting with the sky, it is better to let the sky and time be on your side."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's endless fun to fight against the sky!"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Actually, everyone is fighting with themselves. If it snows tomorrow, can you let the snow stop?"
Hu Xiaotian was startled for a moment, and his eyes brightened: "Will there be snow tomorrow?" He raised his head and looked at the sky again. There was no cloud, and it didn't look like snow. However, Zhu Guanqi had not accurately predicted the westerly wind before.
Will it become a northwest wind?
Zhuge Guanqi said: "You can't change the things destined by God." He smiled and said: "I always feel that God is really good to you, but why do you want to fight against God?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly and said something that stunned Zhuge Guanqi: "I have abused God a thousand times, and God treats me like my first love!"
Zhuge Guanqi suddenly understood the true meaning of destiny, and that some things were really related to luck.
Hu Xiaotian hugged Zhuge Guanqi and said, "Brother Guanqi, please wait for me to come back. Keep this jar of wine to celebrate your victory!"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "My lord, you have eight thousand men to defend the city. Have you ever thought about how long Dongliang County can defend the city if the three fronts of Dayong attack the city at the same time?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Six hours should be no problem."
Zhuge Guanqi shook his head and said: "If Qin Yangming attacks with all his strength, I think Dongliang County can defend for two hours at most."
Hu Xiaotian frowned, this was not good news, but Zhuge Guanqi was a bit too pessimistic.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The north and east gates of Dongliang County are the weakest. Although there is a moat, Dayong has bridges, ladders, and battering rams. The most optimistic estimate is that Dongliang County can defend it for two hours."
Hu Xiaotian said: "After the hostage exchange, I will take action immediately."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Your Excellency has such an idea, and the opponent also has such an idea, so time control is the key. No matter whether the Excellency can capture Dongluo Cang, when Yong's army launches an attack, he must launch a sneak attack on Dongluo Cang."
News from the warehouse."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. If news of the sneak attack on Dongluocang was released at the beginning of the battle, Qin Yangming would definitely send some troops to Dongluocang for emergency rescue. If the emergency march from Dongliang County to Dongluocang would only take two hours, then Zhao Wusheng
Wouldn't it double the pressure with the 5,000 troops led by Xiong Tianba?
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Baila's mouth is the key. The news must be leaked out skillfully. Qin Yangming should pay enough attention to it and allocate half of his troops, so that Dongliang County can defend it longer."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If they mobilize a large army, how can these five thousand people stop their attack?"
