Although Hu Xiaotian was a little disappointed by Xue Lingjun's departure, he did not have too many expectations for the eldest princess, even if Xue Lingjun refused to admit it, he could also conclude that Xue Lingjun's trip to Xichuan was by no means as simple as traveling, this eldest princess of the Dayong Dynasty won the trust of the emperor, and this trip must have her political purpose.
He came on behalf of Dakang, and in the current situation, the interests of Dakang and Dayong conflicted with each other, perhaps this was the real reason why Xue Lingjun was unwilling to help him.
Yan Nujiao said, "Do you guess they will come back?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at this girl with a strong temperament, and a trace of inexplicable pity suddenly appeared in his heart, not only because of the relationship between Yan Nujiao and him, but because the daughter of this Xichuan bandit has a lot of shining points, Hu Xiaotian smiled at Yan Nujiao and said: "Don't worry, Du Tianhuo and his wife were all killed by me, and no one will trouble you in the future."
After speaking, he paused and said, "Even if someone dares to trouble you again, I will protect you."
This sentence made Hu Xiaotian feel very gentlemanly and responsible.
Yan Nujiao's heart warmed, but she turned around and said indifferently: "No need" At this time, there was a sudden sound of horses outside, and then there was a thunderous roar: "Third uncle, are you there?"
Hu Xiaotian really heard Xiong Tianba's voice, and he laughed and said, "I'm in Xiong Kid, I'm in it."
The bear child rode a big black horse, wearing the phosphorus fire armor given to him by Hu Xiaotian, holding a double hammer and rushing in from the broken courtyard wall of Gushan Temple, and behind him were Liang Yinghao and Tang Tiexin, and the three of them were all relieved to see Hu Xiaotian unharmed.
Hu Xiaotian was still wondering how they came over, thinking that it was the eldest princess who asked people to go back to report the news, but when he saw Xiao Ash under Tang Tiexin's crotch, he immediately understood that it must have been Xiao Ash who found out that the momentum was wrong and fled back to the city and led them over.
Tang Tiexin's words really verified Hu Xiaotian's guess: "Mansion master."
It was Ash who showed us the way to find this side. ” Xiong Tian said domineeringly: "We arrived at Qingyun Villa, it was still burning over there, I thought that the third uncle you were trapped inside, but after looking for a long time, I didn't find your shadow, and then I found that there was also a fire here, so I came here to try my luck."
Hehe, I can't imagine that we really found it, third uncle, I'll just say you'll be fine. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Is there anyone else coming?"
Liang Yinghao said: "I also brought a carriage and waited not far outside." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, Liang Yinghao has always been calm and thoughtful, the reason why he asked this is because there is a wounded person inside, Yan Boguang's current condition is not able to walk freely.
Hu Xiaotian returned to the meditation room and saw Yan Nujiao carefully removing the golden needle from his brother's body.
Judging from Yan Nujiao's performance tonight, she still has a lot of research on detoxification, I don't know if she is learning from Meng Zizi in these skills Yan Nujiao realized that Hu Xiaotian's arrival did not look back, and said softly: "You go, I can take care of him." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's better for you to go back with me first, the matter here in Qingyun Villa will soon alarm the local government, and it is likely that there are killers ambushing around." ” Yan Nujiao didn't speak.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I won't harm your second brother."
He is not suitable for a long journey now, so let's go back to the city together.
After his body is completely recuperated, it is not too late for you to take him away, what does Miss Yan think?"
Yan Nujiao thought for a moment and finally nodded.
The group carried Yan Boguang into the carriage, and when they arrived in Xizhou, the sky was already bright, the city gate was wide open, and Hu Xiaotian was not interrogated after revealing his identity.
Smoothly returned to the inn.
Hu Xiaotian took a hot bath and changed into dry clothes.
At this time, Yang Lingqi heard that he was back and hurried over to meet him, today is Li Tianheng's birthday, and from the morning onwards, all the envoys will go to pay their respects one after another, but Hu Xiaotian disappeared all night last night.
This group of subordinates is also worried.
Yang Lingqi said: "Yesterday, the lord of the mansion and the eldest princess have not returned since they went out, and someone from Dayong has come to ask. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "When" Yang Lingqi said: "In the evening, I haven't been here since. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, it seems that Xue Lingjun really only cared about fleeing by himself and forgot about him completely, this woman is really unrighteous.
Yang Lingqi said in a low voice: "The arrest operation in Xizhou continues, and it is said that the Xizhou generals Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang are the leaders, and they are charged with intent to rebel, and it is said that there are nearly 30 people involved. ” "I don't know if it's Li Tianheng or the Dakang Imperial Court who is rebelling" Hu Xiaotian had a mocking smile on the corner of his lips, and he vaguely guessed the conspiracy of the old emperor Long Xuanen.
Yang Lingqi said: "Mansion Master, I don't think our situation is good. ” At this time, Liang Yinghao also walked in, and after saluting Hu Xiaotian with a fist, he said, "Mansion Master, just now I noticed that there are a lot of suspicious characters near the post house, as if they are supervising our movements. ” Hu Xiaotian laughed and said, "It should be Li Tianheng's people, let them go." ” Yang Lingqi said: "The mansion master needs to prepare in time. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The imperial court asked me to come to Xichuan is a big pit."
Yang Lingqi and Liang Yinghao glanced at each other, and both saw the deep worry in each other's eyes.
Yang Lingqi said: "Mansion master, I think this large-scale arrest in Xizhou is no accident, I heard folk rumors, saying that Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang, the two generals, have won the trust of Li Tianheng in the past, and have served under Li Tianheng's account for a long time, and have made great contributions to the protection of Xichuan, it is rumored that they want to subvert Li Tianheng's rule and lead the Xichuan army and people to return to Dakang." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor is far-sighted, and he has long seen that if he wants to save Dakang, the only way out is to recover Xichuan. ” Yang Lingqi said: "Doesn't the lord of the mansion suspect that this turmoil in Xichuan is related to the imperial court?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "It must be related, the emperor sent me to Xichuan to congratulate him on his birthday, and asked me to read out the edict of the king, do you think Li Tianheng is still willing to bow down and be a vassal now?"
Liang Yinghao shook his head and said: "Li Tianheng is already full-fledged, Xichuan is fertile and beautiful, and the fertile soil is thousands of miles, and he already has the strength to compete with the world, how can he obediently send back the fat that he swallowed in his mouth." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "We can think that the emperor must have already thought that he has already understood that being crowned king alone is not enough to calm Li Tianheng's ambitions, let alone return Xichuan to his rule, so" Hu Xiaotian paused, his eyes became extremely bright and said: "The only way left for the emperor is to eradicate Li Tianheng, because he knows that the people of Xichuan are unstable, and most of the people and soldiers think that they are still the people of Dakang, and the biggest obstacle to Xichuan's return is Li Tianheng, as long as Li Tianheng is dead, Nishikawa's return will become a logical one. ” Yang Lingqi nodded, he definitely agreed with Hu Xiaotian's idea.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Maybe the imperial court has already contacted the Xichuan generals behind their backs to divide their interior. ” Liang Yinghao was full of confusion and said: "But since he is ready to eradicate Li Tianheng, why do you want the mansion master to take such a big risk to come here?"
Yang Lingqi sighed and said: "The imperial court needs a high-sounding reason, if Li Tianheng is killed for no reason, then it will arouse the hostility of the Xichuan army and people, which is not conducive to the return of Xichuan, because Li Tianheng has never publicly declared that he wants to establish himself as the king, and the lord of the mansion is the identity of the future concubine, and he is the envoy of Dakang, if something happens to the lord of the mansion in Xizhou, then Dakang has a reason to speak righteously." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, looking at Yang Lingqi full of appreciation, he said in a low voice: "I am a chess piece, if I have an accident in Xizhou, the court will accuse Li Tianheng of not being allowed to resist the decree and murdering the horse, Li Tianheng will lose his morality, and he can no longer raise his head in front of the Xichuan army and people, and these generals who intend to return to Dakang in Xichuan will have a reason to act for the heavens." ” Liang Yinghao realized that the situation in front of him had reached such a serious point when he heard the analysis of the two, and he couldn't help but gasp, and said in a low voice: "Since the mansion master has already seen through the thoughts of the imperial court, why do you still want to come?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor has never trusted our Hu family, if I don't come, he will definitely deal with my parents, when I come, he will take action against me, weigh the two, I still take the risk myself, I will never let this old thing get his wish." ” Yang Lingqi said: "Of course he won't get his wish, he underestimated Li Tianheng's strength too much, Li Tianheng has been able to rule Xichuan for so many years is not just by luck, his power has already penetrated into every corner of Xichuan, and it is no accident that those generals rebelled." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't think Li Tianheng has a reason to kill me, last night's assassination should be related to the imperial court." ” Liang Yinghao was furious and said: "This faint monarch is really shameless, he dares to murder the lord of the mansion, such a ridiculous court, why should the lord of the mansion serve him, it is better to do the opposite, as long as the lord of the mansion provokes the banner of rebellion, I Liang Yinghao will be the first to respond, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire."
Yang Lingqi's face changed when he heard Liang Yinghao's words, Yang Lingqi is a scholar, and the idea of loyalty to the imperial court has long been ingrained in his heart, although he has a lot of complaints about the emperor's approach, but he thinks that it is because of the emperor's mediocrity, and he never thought of subverting the Dakang court.
Hu Xiaotian noticed Yang Lingqi's face, and he smiled: "Yinghao, after all, we are Dakang ministers, and the emperor is confused, but we can't say such radical words."
In fact, he was completely dead to the Dakang Imperial Court at this time, and secretly thought, Long Xuanen, Long Xuanen, since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to you, even if Lao Tzu completely changes the color of your Dakang country, what can you do to me The first update is to be continued
