Chapter 694 [Unexpected Reward] (I)


Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "You don't have to be afraid, if you are willing to submit, I can integrate you into the army, if you refuse to stay, I will also let you leave freely." ” Luo Shifeng was relieved when he heard this, they were actually abandoned by Guo Guangbi, when they rebelled from the imperial tomb, they were chased and killed by Su Yuchi's army all the way, and fled to Xingzhou, I thought that I could escape the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect that the world was as black as a crow, although Guo Guangbi held high the banner of righteousness and shouted the slogan of being the master of the people, in fact, he only cared about his personal interests, and did not see the suffering of his subordinates and the people at all.

Coming to Xingzhou still did not solve the problem of food and clothing, not only that, but also robbing the people against conscience, Luo Shifeng and these people were originally from the poor people, and they naturally couldn't look at Guo Guangbi's approach, and they had already betrayed their hearts, if it weren't for this, Hu Xiaotian would not have taken Xingzhou so easily.

Hu Xiaotian asked Xiong Tianba to temporarily incorporate Luo Shifeng and others into the engineering battalion, these people were originally stonemasons, and letting them enter the engineering battalion just happened to give full play to the strengths of these people.

Luo Shifeng saw that Hu Xiaotian was so tolerant of them, and he felt comforted in his heart, and revealed a secret to Hu Xiaotian, there was a basement in the garden of Guo Guangbi's mansion, and there were a lot of treasures in the basement, Hu Xiaotian asked Luo Shifeng to lead his men into the garden to excavate.

In the afternoon, the door of the basement had been opened, and Hu Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised that there were still a lot of treasures hidden in the basement.

Just Hu Xiaotian rectified Xingzhou.

When the spoils of war were counted, there was a confrontation between the Dayong Naval Division and the Yongjiang Naval Division led by Li Yongfu near the Yongjiang Nanyang Water Village, but although the two sides were tense, there was no battle until now.

Meanwhile.

A large army composed of Shao Yuan and Jingbei assembled to complete the rapid advance to Xingzhou, in fact, this army had been activated when Hu Xiaotian captured Xingzhou, the real intention was the same as Hu Xiaotian, and he also wanted to take Xingzhou with lightning speed, but this team received the news that Hu Xiaotian had taken the lead in capturing Xingzhou halfway through.

This also put the team in an extremely embarrassing situation, in a dilemma, if they continue to move forward, they will face a big battle with Hu Xiaotian.

But there was still no message from the top to let them withdraw from the army.

After repeated deliberations, the commander of the army, Qin Yangming, asked the army to continue to speed up its march and set up camp fifty miles north of Xingzhou City.

Waiting for the order from above, the Nanyang Naval Division, which was originally planned to advance with them by land and water, was blocked by the Yongjiang River, and is still in a confrontation with Hu Xiaotian's naval fleet.

Huo Shengnan commanded the deployment on the city wall.

Hu Xiaotian quietly came behind her.

Coughing slightly, Huo Shengnan realized his arrival, turned around and smiled: "Aren't you busy digging for gold, how can you come up when you have time?"

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I dug up a lot of treasures, and there are a lot of jewelry, you can pick some when you go back." ” Huo Shengnan said: "I'm not interested in jewelry. ” There was a sound of carving in the air, and the eyes of the two were attracted at the same time, and when they looked up, they saw a white light flying towards them.

However, it was Xia Changming who returned from probing the enemy's situation, and the snow sculpture hovered in the sky for a week and then slowly landed.

When there was still a height of three zhang from the ground, Xia Changming jumped into the air and landed lightly in front of the two of them, and the snow sculpture quickly climbed up and flew due east.

Xia Changming hugged his fist to Hu Xiaotian and said: "See the lord" Hu Xiaotian smiled: "How" Xia Changming said: "On the river east of Nanyang Water Village, our fleet and the Nanyang Naval Division are facing each other, and at present, both sides are maintaining restraint and there is no fighting.

Dayong's army has now advanced to the north of Xingzhou, camping fifty miles away from Xingzhou, with a total of about 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Huo Shengnan whispered: "I want to be caught by land and water" Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "If they wanted to fight, they would have rushed over a long time ago, I don't think this battle can be fought." ” Xia Changming said: "Do you want to inform Chang Fanqi and send troops to Shao Yuan to give them some pressure?"

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Don't worry, if they don't take the initiative to attack, we will brake quietly, now Xingzhou is in our hands, we have the initiative, robbing the city and attacking the city are two different things, Dayong should not take the initiative to provoke a war in the current situation." ” At this time, Xiong Tianba came over, but it was the envoy of Dakang who arrived.

Hu Xiaotian was stunned in his heart, since he and Qiqi canceled the marriage contract, Dakang has cut off contact with him, but this time there are Dakang envoys coming, I don't know what happened.

He whispered, "Who is the envoy?"

Xiong Tianba grinned and said, "Old acquaintance, Wu Jingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ” Hu Xiaotian frowned: "Hasn't he already returned to his hometown?"

Xiong Tian said domineeringly: "I don't know, this time he is not the only one who came over, there is also an old eunuch." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, unconsciously remembering Qiqi's appearance, this Nizi is absolutely extraordinary, I don't know what idea she is making this time, so she immediately followed Xiong Tianba to the General's Mansion.

This time, two envoys came from Kangdu, all of whom were acquaintances of Hu Xiaotian, one was Wu Jingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was Qiqi's henchman eunuch Quan De'an.

Seeing such a battle, Hu Xiaotian already understood in his heart that if it wasn't a major matter, Qiqi would not have dispatched these two people at the same time.

When Hu Xiaotian walked into the hall, Wu Jingshan and Quan De'an were drinking tea, and when they saw Hu Xiaotian coming in, Wu Jingshan stood up with a smile on his face, but Quan De'an sat there without moving, with a dark face.

Hu Xiaotian clenched his fists and smiled: "What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing you two distinguished guests over" Wu Jingshan said with a smile: "I came to reward you on the order of Your Majesty." ” Hu Xiaotian was surprised in his heart, Long Xuanen was dead, but Qiqi had never announced this matter to the public in some consideration, since he and Qiqi canceled the marriage contract, they had actually been out of Dakang's control, and of course there was no reason to accept Dakang's reward, this matter was really a bit abrupt.

Hu Xiaotian asked Wu Jingshan to sit down, and glanced at Quan De'an, Quan De'an didn't say a word from beginning to end, and didn't even say hello to Hu Xiaotian, but Hu Xiaotian knew that Wu Jingshan was just a puppet, and the real envoy was Quan De'an.

Hu Xiaotian sat down with a smile, took a cup of tea handed by his subordinates, sniffed the fragrance of tea, took a sip and said: "I remember that the emperor's reward has been listed as a rebel minister by the imperial court, Lord Wu should be mistaken."

Wu Jingshan said: "That's right, after investigation, it was proved that Lord Hu's previous charges were all framed by others, and they were purely false, so the court decided to give Lord Hu a clean slate, not only will announce this matter to the world, but also crown Lord Hu as the king of Zhenhai" He got up and took out the holy decree.

Wu Jingshan also understood that it was impossible for Hu Xiaotian to kneel, so he smiled and said: "The emperor said that Lord Hu does not have to kneel down to accept the order. ” Hu Xiaotian said indifferently: "Even so, Lord Wu doesn't have to read it, just show me the holy decree." ” Wu Jingshan handed the holy decree to Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian unfolded it and read it, and it really said that all his sins were forgiven, and he was named the king of Zhenhai.

Hu Xiaotian was secretly amused in his heart, Qiqi became really fast, do you want to use this method to appease yourself He closed the holy decree, put it aside casually, picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea.

Wu Jingshan saw that Hu Xiaotian did not express his position, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, looking at Hu Xiaotian, waiting for his next words, seeing that Hu Xiaotian had not spoken for a long time, he couldn't help but say: "What does Lord Hu want" Because Hu Xiaotian did not agree, so he can't be called the prince, in fact, Wu Jingshan also understands very well, now that Hu Xiaotian has full wings, how can it be so easy to let him bow to Dakang and be a minister, Hu Xiaotian may not be willing to give the court this face.

Hu Xiaotian didn't answer his question, but said softly: "I remember that Lord Wu has resigned and retired from his position. ” Wu Jingshan said with a smile: "It was the imperial court that asked me to go to the Ministry of Rites to help, if I leave like this suddenly, others will not be able to take over so many affairs at once, think about it or wait for all the things to be handed over, I didn't want to leave the capital, but this time the court said that it came to reward Lord Hu, knowing that Lord Hu and I had been born and died together, so I came."

He specially emphasized the experience of being born and dying with Hu Xiaotian, just to let Hu Xiaotian remember their previous friendship and not to be unfavorable to himself.

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The matter of you and I going to Dayong together seems to be just yesterday." ” Wu Jingshan nodded and said, "No, if it weren't for Master Hu's wisdom and bravery, I'm afraid that the old man would not have his life to return to his homeland." ” Quan De'an, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "I heard that Princess Yingyue is Princess Anping, I wonder if Master Hu can introduce us to our family and solve this mystery by the way."

Hu Xiaotian glanced at Quan De'an coldly, this old eunuch is the real envoy, Wu Jingshan is just a look, sure enough, as soon as Quan De'an spoke, Wu Jingshan immediately fell silent.

Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard that the emperor has already died, and the current emperor is an impostor, can Father-in-law Quan confirm this matter for me?"

The two looked at each other coldly, sharp, and the air in the room became tense for a while, Wu Jingshan was next to the two, and couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, he squeezed out a smile and said: "I heard that Guo Guangbi's back garden is very exquisite, can the old man want to visit it?"

Hu Xiaotian and Quan De'an ignored him, Wu Jingshan stood up and retreated silently.
