Hu Xiaotian asked Li Yuncong to help bring it into the palace is Liang Yinghao, although this secret passage through the Siyuan Bureau, Yaochi, Zilan Palace, and Library Pavilion has been known by many people, but there is still something that can be used, in the hands of Liang Yinghao, an expert in holes, it is not impossible to turn waste into treasure and re-form a hidden underground passage.
The most important thing is that they have been planning to dig a secret passage from outside the palace to the palace to let Liang Yinghao go deep into it, also in order to re-plan.
After Hu Xiaotian entrusted Liang Yinghao to Li Yuncong, he also gave him Xiao Dezi's mask by the way, Liang Yinghao is alert and good at digging holes, plus Li Yuncong's care, he should not encounter any danger.
In the past few days when Hu Xiaotian mixed into the palace, Zhanpeng and they had already bought a few houses outside the palace, and Liang Yinghao led the subordinates of the Muddy Waters Gang to open up the underground of these houses, which was still the method he learned from the gang of horse thieves in Tianluo Mountain when he went to Xichuan, but Liang Yinghao improved it on their basis, and did not buy the adjacent houses, but bought them at intervals, according to his accurate calculations, excavated from the houses, and connected them through the underground.
The drainage outlet that is ready to be excavated into the interior of the palace has also been selected, but the moat is tightly controlled, and it is not so easy to enter it, they thought of several plans and finally rejected them because the risk was too great, and Hu Xiaotian's return gave Liang Yinghao a chance to conduct a field trip.
Hu Xiaotian and Zhan Peng came to the room, Zhan Peng briefly told them about their progress in the past few days, and they have now contacted Yang Lingqi, but according to Hu Xiaotian's instructions, he did not disclose his visit to Kangdu for the time being.
Hu Xiaotian also told some of what he had seen and heard in the palace, and asked Zhanpeng to immediately arrange for someone to go to Tianlong Temple to spread the news that the monk was hiding in the palace. asked Zhanpeng to invite Yang Lingqi to Yanyun Tower for dinner at noon, it was time to tell this old friend the news that he was back.
At noon, Yang Lingqi and Zhanpeng came to Yanyun Tower together.
This place is not far from Yi Yuantang, in the past, Hu Xiaotian and Zhanpeng had a fight here, saved Fang Zhitang's father and daughter, and also had a grudge with Shi Buchui, the son of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Xiaotian came here and couldn't help but think of the past.
The world is unpredictable, and now Yanyunlou is still the same, but the fate of several parties has changed dramatically, he has changed from a vague Yanai to a powerful man in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, and Zhanpeng has also become his loyal subordinate, as for the blind girl Fang Fang at that time and Zhanpeng became engaged to become his fiancée, the worst one is Shi Xuedong, although he has achieved a small success in the palace, but after all, he will inevitably become a eunuch.
For a womanizer, this is already the greatest retribution.
When Hu Xiaotian was sitting in the private room and pondering, he heard a gentle knock on the door, and after receiving an answer, Zhan Peng and Yang Lingqi walked in.
Although Yang Lingqi knew that Zhan Peng must have something important to do when he came to find him, when he saw the unfamiliar face in front of him, he couldn't remember that he had seen it there for a while.
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Brother Lingqi, sit down" He did not hide his voice, and Yang Lingqi was even more stunned when he heard his voice.
He was stunned for a while before he reacted, his eyes still staring at Hu Xiaotian's face.
Although it was Hu Xiaotian from the voice, there was too much difference between his appearance and figure, so Yang Lingqi didn't dare to conclude.
Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "Brother Ling Qi doesn't even know me anymore, I didn't see you so surprised when I met in Tianbo City." ” Yang Lingqi heard him say this before he dared to conclude that the person in front of him was Hu Xiaotian, and he hurriedly said deeply: "Ling Qi has no eyes and no beads to disappoint the son."
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "If you recognize me at a glance, I will be disappointed."
He beckoned them to sit down.
Yang Lingqi stared at Hu Xiaotian's face again.
Secretly wondered in his heart, Hu Xiaotian is really powerful, in the past, he had also heard that people could change their appearance, but he never thought that people could change their figures.
After the three of them drank a cup together, Yang Lingqi said, "When did the son come back?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Just arrived."
It's just that I don't want to show my face in public just yet. ” Yang Lingqi nodded, he could understand Hu Xiaotian's intention to come in a low-key manner, and sighed and said, "Childe shouldn't have come back." ” Hu Xiaotian slowly put down the wine glass and said, "Brother Ling Qi, what do you say?"
Yang Lingqi said: "Didn't the prince hear about the Three Emperors Sun Longting Town?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "This matter has been spread, I'm afraid that the whole world will know about it soon, how can I not know." ” Yang Lingqi said: "Princess Yongyang has taken the initiative to resign from the throne to the emperor, not only to return the palace to Longting Town, but also to hand over the Shence Mansion, and in three days, she will move her things out of the palace and go to the palace to live." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Has she discussed it with you?"
Hearing Hu Xiaotian ask like this, Yang Lingqi couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has been alienated from us a lot recently, and I haven't seen her for a while. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, in this way, Qiqi really became quite wary of herself, and she was very wary of the people she placed beside her, first she found an excuse to take Huo Shengnan away, and also snubbed Yang Lingqi, a wise strategist, in fact, she had all good intentions when she left these people by her side, but now it seems that she may not appreciate her kindness, remembering that Bao Bao told him last night about the secret of Hong Beimo and Qiqi joining forces, his mood became more and more heavy, before coming to Kangdu, He had calmly considered the relationship between himself and Qiqi, the best position between them was the collaborator, and then the husband and wife, but when he returned to Kangdu, he found that everything was not as smooth as he imagined, Qiqi's wariness of him was more serious than he expected, whether it was a husband and wife or a collaborator, the basis must be mutual trust, if the trust is lost, then the relationship cannot be stable.
Maybe it's time to talk to Qiqi face to face, and she must find out what she really thinks in her heart.
Yang Lingqi said: "Childe should talk to Princess Yongyang as soon as possible." ” Hu Xiaotian raised his head and glanced at Yang Lingqi, Yang Lingqi and himself thought of a place, the plan was not as good as changing, and originally planned to conceal his identity to investigate the situation in Kangdu, but now it seems that he has to show up in advance.
Zhan Peng, who had not spoken, said: "I'm afraid that Princess Yongyang will be unfavorable to the lord." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled dumbly, it seemed that everyone around him was hostile to Qiqi, of course, this hostility was because of the difference in his own status on the one hand, and a more important reason was out of concern for himself, in the eyes of most people, his coming to Kangdu to get married was tantamount to a gamble, a gamble with a very small winning rate.
Hu Xiaotian found that there was a kind of gambler's paranoia in his bones, even if there was only a glimmer of hope for victory, he still dared to give it a go.
Yang Lingqi said: "In my opinion, there should not be much uncertainty before the wedding, the imperial court is still afraid of the son, and they are most likely to find ways to keep the son in Kangdu." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat is naturally straight to the bridge, my luck has always been good, the court couldn't stop me in the past, and this time it was the same." ” Seeing Hu Xiaotian's confident gaze, Yang Lingqi and Zhanpeng thought at the same time, yes, Hu Xiaotian is by no means an ordinary person, not only has excellent martial arts but also outstanding wisdom, and this time with so many of them assisting, it is not so easy for the court to trap him, Yang Lingqi said in a low voice: "If the prince wants to control the overall situation, don't ignore the role of the courtiers." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "How to say" Yang Lingqi said: "Although Dakang is currently in charge of Princess Yongyang on the surface, the people who really lead the hundred officials in charge of the government are Prime Minister Zhou Ruiyuan and Taishi Wen Chenghuan, Zhou Ruiyuan is indeed superior in internal affairs, Dakang can be crumbling when the storm is shaking but several times to save the day, not only because of his own luck, and Zhou Ruiyuan's hard work also has an inevitable relationship, as for Wen Chenghuan, he is also a good hand in diplomacy, although buying grain from Dayong at a high price sacrifices some of Dakang's interests, But after all, it was to help Dakang alleviate the food shortage, and these two people were also the two most powerful in the Dakang Dynasty. ” Zhan Peng said: "Isn't the most powerful in the Dakang Dynasty the Hongbei Desert?"
Yang Lingqi said with a smile: "Although Hong Beimo has won the trust of the emperor, but he rarely cares about political affairs, the Dakang Dynasty is presided over by Princess Yongyang, but the specific responsible is these two people, these two are long-standing ministers, know how to correct their positions, since the emperor's restoration, both of them have been politically stable and conscientious. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to visit them." ” What Hu Xiaotian wanted to visit was by no means Wen Chenghuan, when he and Wen Boyuan escorted Princess Anping to Yongdu to get married, Ji Feihua made a plan to let him assassinate Wen Boyuan on the way, although Wen Boyuan did not die directly in his own hands, but he also had a great relationship.
Judging from all indications, Moon Seunghuan has already calculated this account on his own head and has designed to frame himself many times.
There is no longer any possibility for the two of them to release their previous suspicions and turn enemies into friends.
As for Zhou Ruiyuan, Hu Xiaotian and him don't have too deep a holiday, if you insist on saying that there is, it is also a baby set by his parents when he was a child, Zhou Ruiyuan dislikes him for being a fool, so he took the initiative to tear up the marriage contract, I don't know how Zhou Ruiyuan will feel when he sees his achievements today, after thinking about it, Hu Xiaotian decided to go to Zhou Ruiyuan first, maybe he will have some help for himself.
As Zhan Peng said, Zhou Ruiyuan's ability in internal affairs is superhuman, many years of political career, several ups and downs, let him see the situation very thoroughly, although the recent amazing news in the Dakang Dynasty one after another, but Zhou Ruiyuan has always been at ease, unless the emperor takes the initiative to find him, he will never take the initiative to ask about these things, especially the major events related to the fate of the imperial power.
It's Saturday, and there's an event tonight, and I'll send it away.
