Qiqi said: "For some reason, this palace always feels that the situation this time is unprecedentedly serious. ” Zhou Ruiyuan said: "It should have been planned for a long time. ” Qiqi said: "Do you think Hu Xiaotian would have known that he had conspired with the Empress Dowager of Tianxiang Kingdom to stage such a good show?"
Zhou Ruiyuan pondered for a moment before he said: "The minister thought that Hu Xiaotian should not do such a thing, in this accident he lost the Hongmu River, although the Hongmu River is only a projectile land, but its strategic significance is extremely important, the north chokes the Xichuan, the west controls South Vietnam, the east connects Tianxiang, and the south looks at the sea, the geographical location is unique, Hu Xiaotian also spent a lot of scheming in order to get the Hongmu River, there is no reason to be so cheap and return it to Tianxiang Country."
What's more, he has already controlled the territory in the northeast of Xichuan, sitting on the Hongmu River, and in the future, it is possible to occupy the entire Xichuan even if he is attacked from the north and south. ” Qiqi nodded slowly and said, "Bengong also thinks that he shouldn't do such a thing." ” According to the map given to him by Li Wuwu, Hu Xiaotian went to the main altar of the Five Immortals Sect, and when he passed through Qingyun County, Hu Xiaotian specially went to Hu Mansion to take a turn, but found that the former magnificent mansion has now been reduced to a piece of rubble, and after asking, he learned that last year, Hu Mansion caught fire and burned down here, as for the family members and servants in Hu Mansion, none of them saw one, it is said that they were all burned to death inside, but at that time, they did not even see a corpse.
Of course, Hu Xiaotian would not worry that Sumeru would be buried in a fire, and he thought that this fire was by no means an accident, it should be Sumeru's intention to set the fire, probably because he didn't want to come to her by himself, and asked the time, the time of the fire happened to be the month after he left, and he concluded that the matter was related to himself.
Hu Xiaotian subconsciously touched his chest, when she broke up with Sumeru, she once gave herself half a jade pendant, about three years, and now most of it has passed, and on September 16 next year, she let herself go to Xianyun Pavilion in Broken Cloud Mountain, presumably she should be able to see her.
Hu Xiaotian did not find Sumeru in Qingyun, and naturally there was no need to stay in the local area, so he immediately left Qingyun County, went out of the county seat for fifteen miles, traveled all the way west, and when he came to Heishi Village, night had fallen.
Because Meng Zizi used to live in seclusion here, Hu Xiaotian originally wanted to bypass the Black Stone Village and try to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But Hu Xiaotian looked at the map, but found that the road pointed to by the map must pass through the Black Stone Village, after a little consideration, he finally decided to pass through the Black Stone Village, this time he came to change his appearance in advance, with his current appearance even if he didn't even recognize himself, as long as he didn't meet a master of Meng Zizai's level, there should be no mistakes, and he didn't plan to stay in the Black Stone Village.
Entering the gate of the Black Stone Village, the four strong men of the Black Miao stationed at the gate of the village stopped him, and the first one of them said angrily: "Ah, who are you and why did you trespass on the Black Stone Village?"
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "This brother Tai is a foot merchant below, and he happened to pass by the treasure land, but he just wants to borrow a road to go, and he has no other meaning." ” Four black Miao men surrounded him, looked up and down, and one of them pointed to the saber on Hu Xiaotian's waist and said, "Take it and take a look."
Hu Xiaotian originally often carried the Xuantie Sword, but he didn't bring it this time, mainly because the Xuantie Sword was too conspicuous, Hu Xiaotian didn't want to attract attention, so he changed it, this sword is naturally not excellent in his collection, but it is also a rare blade in the eyes of ordinary people.
Hu Xiaotian didn't think much about it, and directly took out his saber and handed it to the other party.
The black Miao man held the sword in his hand, slashed back and forth in the void a few times, stopped and praised: "Good sword, good sword" After he praised it, he did not mean to return Hu Xiaotian's sword, and another black Miao man pointed to the package behind Hu Xiaotian: "We need to check it." ” Hu Xiaotian secretly scolded in his heart, these black Miao people really have to make inches, if he promised them, should the next step be to search his body He smiled: "A few big brothers, I am just passing by, please don't embarrass me, if you like that sword, just take it, and it should be my passing money." ” Several black Miao men laughed at the same time when they heard this, and they took a step closer to Hu Xiaotian, obviously to stop him from moving forward, one of them reached out and grabbed the package behind Hu Xiaotian and said, "So nervous, what kind of treasure is hidden in it?"
Hu Xiaotian came to Heishi Village before, feeling that the Black Miao people are warm and straightforward, and extremely hospitable, this time how can they be like robbers blocking the road and robbing them, if they are indifferent and let them do whatever they want, these people will definitely get worse, Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart, he could only choose to shoot, knock down these four people in the shortest possible time, and when he was about to make a move, he heard an angry shout from afar: "What do you do" Hu Xiaotian followed the prestige, but he saw Teng Tianqi, the owner of Heishi Village, who was tall, but he was much thinner than in the past, and his back was a little hunched.
Hu Xiaotian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the owner of the village arrived in time, Teng Tianqi, as the owner of the village, should not let his subordinates be willful.
The four black Miao men really stopped encircling Hu Xiaotian and looked at Teng Tianqi, one of them said: "It turned out to be the owner of the village."
Teng Tianqi limped over, Hu Xiaotian found that his right foot was lame, and his right arm was holding a wooden cane, and he slowly came to several people, several people greeted him, one of them said: "It turned out to be the owner of the village, why are you so angry today?"
Teng Tianqi glanced at Hu Xiaotian, sighed and said, "People are just a passing merchant, why should you embarrass others."
The tone was deliberative.
Several people nodded again and again: "The master of the village has learned a lesson." ” Hu Xiaotian found that Teng Tianqi's clothes were torn in many places and covered with filth, and he secretly wondered in his heart, as the owner of the Black Stone Village, why could he be so informal Two black Miao men supported Teng Tianqi on the left and right, and one of them said: "The owner of the village, I will help you." ” Teng Tian prayed: "No, I'm not your village master anymore." ” Several black Miao men laughed at the same time, and suddenly one of them pulled Teng Tianqi's crutches away, one went around behind him, and pushed hard behind Teng Tianqi, Teng Tianqi lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, before he could get up, several black Miao men rushed up like wolves and tigers, punched and kicked Teng Tianqi on the ground, and scolded angrily: "The old thing that doesn't open your eyes, do you think you are still the owner of the village?"
Teng Tianqi was beaten by several people and had no backhand, so he could only hold his head.
Hu Xiaotian saw the scene in front of him, and only then did he understand in his heart that Teng Tianqi had lost power in Heishi Village, he hated this kind of villain who fell into the well the most in his life, and he was originally annoyed by these black Miao men, seeing them treat a disabled old man like this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and rushed up like a leopard, fists and feet together, it was not easy to deal with these people with his martial arts, and he almost put down one of them, and in an instant, all four of them were knocked to the ground by him.
Hu Xiaotian picked up his sword, then picked up Teng Tianqi's crutches, came to his side and helped Teng Tianqi up, and said with concern: "Master Teng Zhai, are you okay?"
Teng Tianqi looked at Hu Xiaotian with some surprise, he had never seen this unfamiliar face, and said in surprise: "You know me" Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "The owner of Heishi Village, who doesn't recognize this Qingyun area" Teng Tianqi sighed, he had fallen like this, and he was no longer the owner of the village, on crutches, he glanced at several of his fellow clans on the ground, and found that they had been knocked out by Hu Xiaotian, he said to Hu Xiaotian: "You better leave as soon as possible, once you alarm the other people in the village, it will be too late to leave." ” One of the black Miao men moved his hands and feet, as if he was about to wake up again, Teng Tianqi raised his crutches and slapped the man's head, knocking him unconscious, and then said to Hu Xiaotian: "Follow me" Hu Xiaotian followed Teng Tianqi into the Black Stone Village, although Teng Tianqi had a disabled right leg, he was familiar with the road in the village, he led Hu Xiaotian to the northwest, entered a remote path, meandered through the bushes, walked about two miles of the road, had passed the Black Stone Village, Teng Tianqi pointed ahead and said: "You keep moving forward, turn south after walking to the banyan tree, and walk forward for five miles on the main road." ” Hu Xiaotian hugged Teng Tianqi and couldn't help asking, "What happened to the owner of the village?"
Teng Tianqi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to ask, you can go." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Your daughter Teng Zidan once had a kindness to me, and the owner of the village doesn't have to treat me as an outsider." ” Teng Tianqi heard his daughter's name, tears welled up in the tiger's eyes, he sighed and said: "Zidan, she is no longer there" At this time, the direction of the gate of the village flickered, and there were about dozens of them at a cursory glance, and it should be that the other people in the Black Stone Village had been alarmed.
Teng Tianqi urged: "Hurry up, it's too late." ” Hu Xiaotian is not afraid of the people in this black stone village, even if the whole village comes out, he can cope with it, and he is a little worried that Teng Tianqi will cause trouble because of this matter, and he is a little hesitant in his heart.
Teng Tian prayed: "You go quickly, don't worry about me, they won't do anything to me." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, if Teng Tianqi wanted to leave, he would have already left, it must be that he couldn't let go of Heishizhai in his heart, so he chose to stay, Hu Xiaotian hugged Teng Tianqi and walked forward quickly.
When he came to the banyan tree, Hu Xiaotian turned around and looked back, but saw that the firelight had gathered in the place where he and Teng Tianqi broke up just now.
