Xue Daoming summoned Li Shenzhou to the palace, there were many rumors outside, Li Shenzhou was extremely worried in his heart, he couldn't help but worry about his father's life and death, and worried that this fire would be burned on his body.
He thought that Xue Daoming summoned him over for this matter, but he didn't expect that Xue Daoming's real topic was the war in Northern Xinjiang, and it seemed that the incident that happened in Dakang did not attract much attention from him.
Xue Daoming said: "I summoned Li Aiqing to the palace for the sake of the military situation in the northern Xinjiang. ” Li Shenzhou heard that he didn't say anything about Wen Chenghuan, his heart was a little calm, and he said respectfully: "Northern Xinjiang has entered the winter break, and there will be no more troops for at least three months." ” Xue Daoming sighed and said: "I am worried that it is Wei Chichong, I summoned him back to Beijing to recuperate, and I was ready to reward him, but Wei Chichong repeatedly rejected my kindness. ” Li Shenzhou said: "Maybe the crisis in northern Xinjiang has not been cleared, and he doesn't dare to leave without permission." ” Xue Daoming said: "It's true that you support the army and look down on me. ” Li Shenzhou rarely said good things for Wei Chichong: "Your Majesty, I don't think that's the case.
Wei Chichong stationed in northern Xinjiang to resist Hei Hu made great achievements, and His Majesty needs to be more tolerant of him. ” Xue Daoming sighed and said: "I also know his merits, why don't I sympathize with his hardships, it's just that he is proud of his merits, and he no longer takes me seriously, I understand his difficulties, but he doesn't understand my difficulties at all."
He handed an urgent letter to Li Shenzhou and said: "You see, he sent someone to ask for grain and grass, I have done my best to raise this batch of grain and grass, in the past two years of Dayong disaster and famine, it is not easy for me to raise these grain and grass, but he has a lot of complaints. ” Li Shenzhou said: "Wei Chi Chong is in northern Xinjiang, and he is not clear about the situation here. ” Xue Daoming said: "I intend to go to Northern Xinjiang in person, I don't know what Aiqing wants."
Li Shenzhou was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, but Xue Daoming's trip to Northern Xinjiang was a great opportunity for him.
No matter what Xue Daoming's motive is, he can calmly lay out the situation during the time he left Yongdu, and it just so happens that the war in northern Xinjiang is in the winter break, and he has enough time to deal with it, although the impact of his father's affairs has not yet affected him, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it may not take long for this secret to be exposed, and he must take action.
Xue Daoming's trip to the north may be the best opportunity given to him by God, and he wants to save his father, unless he becomes the real king of Dayong and puts pressure on Dakang as the king of a country, he may still have a chance to rescue his father.
Although Li Shenzhou wished that Xue Daoming would leave now, he said: "It is about to enter a harsh winter, and it will be a long way to go to northern Xinjiang, which must be very hard, and Your Majesty still needs to take care of the dragon's body." ” Xue Daoming feigned anger and said: "What do you mean by this, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the northern Xinjiang, and they don't even want their lives, what is it a joke that I braved so much cold, you don't have to say it, I have made up my mind, I must go in person." ” Li Shenzhou thought in his heart, if you love to go or not, it's best not to go back, and it's best to die in northern Xinjiang.
Lone Eagle Fort is a town in the north of the Black Beard, most of the Black Hu live in the bitter cold place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there are no people around the Lone Eagle Fort for more than 100 miles, it begins to snow here every October, except for a few herdsmen in the local area, most of them are some Buddhist believers, even if the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, there will still be many Hu people from all directions to come against the severe cold wind and snow, in order to go to the Fanyin Temple to worship and pray for blessings.
Hu Xiaotian flew here from the north of Xinjiang by flying owl, although the flying speed of the flying owl was very fast, it still took three days, of course, Hu Xiaotian was still early from the time agreed with Liu Yuzhang, so he did not rush day and night, but flew during the day and rested at night.
After entering the Hu realm, what you see is a large expanse of land, the pasture grass has withered yellow, the cattle and sheep have been put into the barn, the entire black Hu empire with the arrival of winter presents a cold and desolate taste, this large piece of land will spend a long dormant period, until the spring of the next year, the spring flowers bloom, the grass and trees turn green, will restore her thriving atmosphere, but for the black Hu people such a vibrant day is too short, perhaps it is for this reason that they yearn for the warm Jiangnan, expect to live a life like spring all year round, so began the perseverance of the southward invasion year after year.
The flying owl let out a dull roar, Hu Xiaotian opened his eyes, looked down, and saw the chessboard-sized Lone Eagle Fort on the white snowfield below, the southeast of the Lone Eagle Fort is Fanyin Mountain, the ancient temple of Zhenguo Fanyin Temple is located on this mountain, the Lone Eagle Fort and the Fanyin Temple are one on the mountain, relying on each other, and have coexisted for hundreds of years.
Hu Xiaotian stroked the feathers on the neck of the flying owl, and then patted it lightly to signal it to land downward, the huge size of the flying owl will become the focus of attention wherever it goes, so if you want to enter the lone eagle castle in a low-key manner, you have to temporarily separate from it, but fortunately they will not be separated too far, the flying owl will find a suitable place to hide and rest, waiting for the next call from the owner.
According to the map of the Lone Eagle Fort obtained earlier, he didn't spend much effort to find the Huangsha Inn, this inconspicuous inn is located in the southwest corner of the Lone Eagle Fort, and there is not even a signboard at the door, only a string of red lanterns as a sign here.
Judging from the condition of the carriage and horses in front of the door, there should be no guests here, Hu Xiaotian entered the courtyard, saw that the door of the lobby was closed, passed through the courtyard, pushed open the door, strode in, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, guests are coming" The young man who was squatting by the fire in the corner turned around, revealing a look of surprise, he was Xia Changming, originally Hu Xiaotian did not ask him to come over this time, after all, he was seriously injured and just recovered, but Xia Changming insisted on accompanying Hu Xiaotian, in his opinion, even if he couldn't help much, he could make a start, and it was always okay to arrange to take care of Hu Xiaotian's life, under his repeated requests, Hu Xiaotian promised to let him come with Xiong Tianba, they originally set off together from Dongliang County, But Hu Xiaotian was delayed in northern Xinjiang for a few days halfway, so they asked them to come directly, Xia Changming and Xiong Tianba were worried about delaying Hu Xiaotian's big event, so they rode a snow sculpture day and night to come here, speaking of which was three days earlier than Hu Xiaotian, and the two were not idle, they directly bought this Huangsha inn and arranged to stop until Hu Xiaotian arrived.
Although the separation time is not long, but the old friends are also very cordial to see each other, Xia Changming was busy beckoning Hu Xiaotian to come to the stove and sit down: "Lord, please take a seat, the temperature has plummeted in the past two days, and it is too cold outside, you must have suffered a lot all the way."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "It's not the same, what about the bear child" He looked around, and didn't see Xiong Tianba's figure, so it was a little strange.
Xia Changming said: "He went to buy, and he heard that there may be a snowstorm tomorrow, so he must stock up on more food. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, counting that there are still three days left in the agreed time with Liu Yuzhang, and he can just use these three days to figure out the surrounding situation.
He couldn't help but think of Ji Feihua, Ji Feihua should be almost there, the two of them have been separated from Kangdu for three months, and not only did he forget Ji Feihua in three months, but her figure became clearer and clearer in his heart.
In fact, she didn't have to be separated from herself, Hu Xiaotian didn't know if it was her own delusion, she always felt that Ji Feihua seemed to be deliberately avoiding herself, there was something about her body that scared her, maybe Ji Feihua was not afraid of herself, but she would have inseparable feelings for herself.
But he is not the same, he always lacks courage in front of Ji Feihua, he should show her his true thoughts, Hu Xiaotian secretly thought in his heart, when he saw Ji Feihua this time, he would definitely not miss the opportunity again.
The cries of cattle and sheep sounded outside, Xia Changming smiled and said: "It must be that the bear child is back" Before the words were finished, Xiong Tianba had already knocked open the door, this guy was wearing a sheepskin jacket and a mink hat, and he looked like a Hu man, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Lao Xia, look at how many things I bought" His eyes fell on Hu Xiaotian's body, and he smirked: "Third uncle, I'll just say it, I'll say that you should come too" Hu Xiaotian got up and walked towards Xiong Tianba, punched him in the shoulder, then held his shoulder, and praised: "The stinky boy is strong again." ” "That is, every day I eat beef and mutton, and drink mare's milk wine, I can't think about getting fat."
All three laughed at the same time.
Xia Changming took Hu Xiaotian to see the room prepared for him, as well as the local clothes specially prepared for him, Hu Xiaotian changed into a fur coat and a mink hat, although not many people here know him, but after all, he still needs to have more eyes, and he has changed his appearance with a makeover, and he has used the makeover perfectly, and he has turned himself into a high-nosed and deep-eyed Hu man.
Xiong Tianba admired his kung fu so much that he threw himself to the ground, Hu Xiaotian didn't hide his selfishness, and when he saw that he liked it, he taught him, as for how much he can comprehend, when he will practice depends on his own understanding.
After lunch, Hu Xiaotian was accompanied by Xia Changming to the town to hang out, the Lone Eagle Fort is very small, boxy, horizontal and vertical is two miles, there are not many locals, there are many hotels in the town, most of them are born because of the endless stream of believers.
Xia Changming told Hu Xiaotian that there are many fewer believers now, and it is the most deserted time of the year in Lone Eagle Castle, and the total number of aborigines and believers in the town does not exceed 1,000.
Wherever the two passed, from time to time they saw devout prayerful believers, prostrate and bow in the direction of Fanyin Temple.
Xia Changming sighed and said: "Many people have finally come here, but the weather has turned cold in the past two days, although I saw Fanyin Temple, but I froze to death before I got closer."
