He reminded himself that he must be calm, and after calming down, he looked at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Why did you come to me, I don't know what I can help you."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although you have been dismissed, you still have a lot of friends and brothers in the Xichuan Army, and it must be much easier than others to find out the situation." ” "Why should I help you" Hu Xiaotian laughed: "It's not to help me, but to help yourself, and at the same time to help the military and civilians in Xichuan."
If Xichuan falls into the hands of Yang Haoran and the conspirators behind him, the life of the people will inevitably be much more miserable. ” Yan Hu said: "You don't want to take Xichuan for yourself" Hu Xiaotian said: "Xichuan originally belonged to Dakang, and it fell into the hands of Dakang, at least the people of Xichuan can be treated equally." ” "Can you guarantee that the people of Xichuan can live a happy life?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded, and said in an accentuated tone: "I can guarantee it" Zhou Mo sighed: "Should I go or not" He just received an invitation from Hu Xiaotian and invited him to go to Baicaotang that night for a gathering.
A pale smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Tianmu's lips: "Go, why don't you go and I'll go with you" Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, he thought that Xiao Tianmu would choose to avoid it.
Xiao Tianmu said: "What should come is always coming, and there should be a break between us." ” Xiao Tianmu came uninvited, obviously not what Hu Xiaotian expected.
In comparison, Xiao Tianmu is scheming and wise, much more difficult to deal with than Zhou Mo, Hu Xiaotian was able to catch the apology from the depths of his heart in his eyes when he reunited with Zhou Mo, and he couldn't see any expression on Xiao Tianmu's face at all, not to mention that he was originally blind.
Xiao Tianmu said softly: "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time" His voice was flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest apology or feeling, as if nothing had happened between them.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Second brother, I haven't seen it for many years, and your eyes still can't see anything?"
Xiao Tianmu heard that there was something in his words, and his eyes couldn't see it, but he understood it in his heart, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't see it in this life, but fortunately, I'm used to it." ” Hu Xiaotian said meaningfully: "Although the second brother's eyes can't see, his heart is much more clear than many people. ” Xiao Tianmu laughed: "In this world, the more you understand life, the more painful it is, otherwise there will be a rare and confused statement" Zhou Mo could naturally hear the hidden edge in the words of the two, and coughed: "The second brother heard that the third brother also came to Xizhou, so I must meet the third brother." ” Xiao Tianmu said: "The third brother won't blame me for coming uninvited."
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "How could it be that the three of us brothers reunited after a long absence, just as they were in the same breath, living and dying together, and saying this kind of thing is to see the outside."
He invited them to sit down and asked for a pair of chopsticks.
After filling the wine glass in front of him, Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and said, "Our brothers haven't sat together to drink for a long time, let's make three glasses before talking." ” Zhou Mo nodded, picked up the wine glass in front of him and did it first, Xiao Tianmu also drank it, but as soon as he drank a glass, he coughed violently.
Hu Xiaotian heard from his coughing voice that he was likely to have lung disease, and said softly: "Second brother, if he is not in good health, he can not drink." ” Xiao Tianmu took a breath and said, "These three glasses of wine must be drunk no matter what." ” Zhou Mo looked at Xiao Tianmu worriedly, he knew that Xiao Tianmu's physical condition had not been good recently.
Xiao Tianmu insisted on drinking three glasses of wine, covered his mouth and coughed a few times: "It's an old problem." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If you have a disease, you have to be treated, and you can't blindly delay, otherwise the small problem will become more and more serious, and there is even no cure." ” Xiao Tianmu smiled and said: "Do you remember the scene when our brothers met in Qingyun?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I remember everything that happened between our brothers clearly. ” Xiao Tianmu said: "Does the third brother have a lot of things to ask in his heart, take this opportunity today, you might as well say them all." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It doesn't make sense to say it now.
He poured a glass of wine for Zhou Mo and filled it himself, but he didn't pour it for Xiao Tianmu, since Xiao Tianmu was not in good health, there was no need to force it.
He touched his wine glass with Zhou Mo and said, "This glass of wine, thank you big brother." ” Zhou Mo picked up his wine glass, the expression on his face was quite embarrassed, he didn't think he had anything worthy of Hu Xiaotian's gratitude.
After Hu Xiaotian drank this glass of wine, he said: "If it weren't for the help of the eldest brother, Xiyue would not have escaped from Dayong smoothly." ” Zhou Mo's face was a little hot, this matter was exactly what he couldn't do with Hu Xiaotian the most, he didn't take Long Xiyue to the agreed place according to Hu Xiaotian's instructions, but secretly kidnapped Long Xiyue to Tianxiang Country, and made up lies to make Hu Xiaotian mistakenly think that Long Xiyue betrayed him, now Hu Xiaotian's words should be the opposite, he is mocking himself, Zhou Mo coughed dryly and said: "Third brother, in fact, I have always wanted to say sorry to you all these years, I" Hu Xiaotian interrupted him: "Big brother, you don't need to say that, I can see some things, and you are forced to do some things helplessly," the more he said this, the more Zhou Mo felt unhappy in his heart.
Xiao Tianmu didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, they haven't seen each other for many years, their little brother is much more restrained than before, but this doesn't mean that their meeting today will be full of grudges.
Hu Xiaotian invited Zhou Mo here, it shouldn't just be to shake hands and make peace, Zhou Mo has an upright temperament, and he has always felt guilty about turning his back on Hu Xiaotian back then, if Hu Xiaotian knew that he was also in Xizhou, maybe he wouldn't have set up this dinner.
Xiao Tianmu secretly thought in his heart that this little brother should want to find out the purpose of their coming to Xizhou from Zhou Mo's mouth.
Zhou Mo said: "In short, I'm sorry for you" Xiao Tianmu laughed, and his laughter interrupted Zhou Mo's words again, Xiao Tianmu said: "Big brother really doesn't have to care too much, the third brother is broad-minded, since he is willing to sit with you and my brother, it proves that he has let go of the things of the year, and it is not good for us to mention it again, besides, although the third brother and Princess Anping have a lot of good things, but in the end, there is a lover who eventually becomes a family, and the wrong things we did against our hearts back then still did not cause bad consequences after all, and the two of us who are brothers can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ” Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed that Xiao Tianmu was cunning, and he was expecting some words to come out of Zhou Mo's mouth, but today's arrival of Xiao Tianmu seemed to make his plan fail.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The eldest brother came on behalf of Tianxiang Country this time, and I heard that an agreement has been reached with Xichuan that Tianxiang Country will lend grain to Xichuan for free."
Xiao Tianmu quietly kicked Zhou Mo under the table, reminding him not to talk casually.
Zhou Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Yes, it's true."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does the eldest brother know about the Jin Yumeng?"
Xiao Tianmu preemptively said: "Naturally, I've heard of it."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You may also know that I bought grain from Tianxiang Country at a price one percent higher than the market price, and the Queen Mother also agreed to me. ” Xiao Tianmu said: "Is the third brother very short of food?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "This grain is to relieve the Xichuan disaster victims who have fled into my territory, otherwise my food reserves are enough for the people to eat." ” Xiao Tianmu said: "The people are the foundation of the country, almost everyone knows this sentence, but there are few people who can really understand the meaning, the third brother has received a lot of refugees this time, as long as you help them get through this difficulty, these refugees will become a huge force in the hands of the third brother in the future." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I don't have so much ingenuity to rescue them, I just feel that the people are innocent, and the internal turmoil in Xichuan can't take care of their affairs, if I don't take action, I don't know how many people in Xichuan will die from this natural disaster." ” Xiao Tianmu said: "The third brother is really kind-hearted. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "But your country's approach has made everything changeable.
He paused, stared at Zhou Mo and said, "Is the decision to lend grain to Xichuan the Queen Mother herself?"
Zhou Mo was a little afraid to face his gaze, and when he was hesitating whether to answer this question, Xiao Tianmu said: "Yes" Hu Xiaotian categorically vetoed: "Impossible, if the Queen Mother made this decision, she should not have sent her eldest brother to Xichuan as an envoy, and her lending food to Xichuan for free is equivalent to breaking the covenant she made with me." ” Xiao Tianmu said: "What kind of covenant is the covenant that the third brother refers to is to work together with the Jinyu Alliance to take Xichuan, isn't it, didn't the third brother just say that he has no ambition for Xichuan?"
Hu Xiaotian did not answer his question: "If I guess correctly, the eldest brother came to Xichuan because Hu Buwei sent him, with my understanding of the Queen Mother, she should not turn her back on the Jinyu League, that is to say, there is only one possibility, the Queen Mother has been controlled by Hu Buwei, such as today, the power of Xiangguo has fallen into Hu Buwei's hands" When Xiao Tianmu and Zhou Mo heard this, they praised at the same time in their hearts, this little brother had really become more and more mature in these years of tempering, he had already seen the essence of the problem, and deduced that there had been a change in power within the Tianxiang Kingdom.
Xiao Tianmu said: "Actually, Tianxiang Country has not changed substantially. ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Li Tianheng was suddenly assassinated, I can't think of the mastermind behind it when I think about it, but now I finally understand a little." ” Xiao Tianmu said: "Who does the third brother think did it?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Whoever gets the most benefits will be the most suspicious in this matter."
After Li Tianheng's death, Li Honghan inherited his position, this person is narrow-minded, his eyes are low, he has no such courage and means, there must be someone behind him to support, after Li Tianheng's death, there was no turmoil in Xichuan, it seems that someone had arranged everything before Li Tianheng's death, and even quietly replaced all the backbone generals in the generals, and the food problem that bothered Xichuan the most was also solved by Tianxiangguo, the second brother thought that these things were all coincidences?
