Chapter 432 [Face-to-Face Showdown] (I)
"Why?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister once had a marriage contract with Li Wuwu, the daughter of the Li family, in the past, and was implicated because of the self-reliance of the Li family in Xichuan, and the minister thought that he was not a suitable candidate to go to Xichuan as an envoy." ”
Long Xuanen said: "I know this matter, the reason why the Xichuan Li clan was self-reliant was to send troops to the king, Li Tianheng has always been loyal, how could he be a traitor who is scolded by others?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "In this case, why is he still reluctant to return to Dakang?" ”
Long Xuanen smiled: "It's just because he has doubts and is worried that I will hold him accountable for separating Xichuan in the past." He took out a letter from his sleeve, shook it in front of Hu Xiaotian, and said: "I decided to send you to the envoy because I received his secret letter, in which Li Tianheng made it clear that he was willing to join Dakang. ”
Hu Xiaotian was stunned, but he hadn't heard of it, and Li Tianheng actually took the initiative to write a letter expressing his willingness to surrender.
Long Xuanen said: "Looking at the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, there are not many people who can really make me trust, this time I went to Xichuan with heavy responsibilities and made Li Tianheng the king, I need a person with the right status, I think about it, and it is only suitable for you to go in the past." ”
Hu Xiaotian scolded in his heart, it's strange to believe you, who knows if the letter in your hand is true?
Long Xuanen said: "Xichuan is not only the southwest gateway of Dakang, but also an important granary of Dakang, Xichuan can alleviate the food shortage of Dakang, Hu Xiaotian, are you willing to serve Dakang, are you willing to be loyal to me?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty and die forever!" ”
Long Xuan'en was delighted, stroked his beard and said, "I know that you will not let me down." ”
Coming out of the old emperor, Hu Xiaotian went straight to the library pavilion, wanting to inquire about some news from Li Yuncong, the relationship between the old eunuch and the old emperor is extraordinary, maybe from him can learn the true purpose of Long Xuanen.
Li Yuncong's complexion has obviously improved much compared to before. It's just that because of the loss of one eye, his expression is no longer as kind as in the past, and he looks a little hideous, seeing Hu Xiaotian coming, Li Yuncong smiled and said: "It turned out to be the future master of the horse, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here today." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "You are always making fun of me!" ”
Li Yuncong said: "Don't dare, don't dare." The miscellaneous family is just a slave in the palace, and Commander Hu is now a concubine of the dynasty, how dare the miscellaneous family ridicule the future concubine. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who knows what will happen in the future?" Just as a man does not know when he will get sick or when he will die. ”
Li Yuncong's eyes flashed with an extremely complicated light: "Your words seem to be very pessimistic." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Others don't know, you can still not know, I only have half a year to live, even if I am engaged to Princess Yongyang, I may not be blessed to live to marry her." He paused and said, "This qiē is all thanks to your old man." ”
Li Yuncong sighed and said, "I can't imagine that you still hold a grudge against me in your heart." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I can't complain about others with my life, Xiaotian came here this time to resign to Gonggong Li." ”
Li Yuncong was stunned and said, "You want to leave?" ”
Hu Xiaotian could see that his expression did not look like a fake. He probably didn't know that the old emperor sent himself as an envoy to Xichuan, so he nodded and said: "The emperor sent me as an envoy to Xichuan to congratulate Li Tianheng on his fiftieth birthday, and by the way, he was crowned king, what?" Father-in-law Li doesn't know? ”
Li Yuncong frowned and said: "It has been many days since the emperor re-ascended the throne, and Li Tianheng not only led his troops to surrender, but also did not even say the slightest word, what?" This time, the emperor actually took the initiative to canonize him as king? And send you to congratulate him on his birthday? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't understand it either." The emperor said that Li Tianheng had sent a letter expressing his willingness to return to Dakang and reintegrate Xichuan into the territory of Dakang. That's why they sent me. ”
Li Yuncong shook his head and said, "I don't understand the affairs on the political calendar, and I never ask about it. He also guessed that the purpose of Hu Xiaotian's visit was to find out the news from himself.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Gonggong Li is loyal to the emperor, if it weren't for the father-in-law's forgetting to die, the emperor would not have re-ascended to the throne." ”
Li Yuncong said: "The miscellaneous family doesn't dare to take credit, the emperor can have today is his own blessing." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "The king's heart is unpredictable, and it is difficult to say whether the emperor sent me to Xichuan this time is a blessing or a curse." ”
Li Yuncong looked at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Do you doubt that the emperor will be unfavorable to you?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not that I'm too careful. It's that I'm afraid that the emperor will be too careful, and I'm worried that the emperor will be angry with our Hu family because of the refusal of the Xu family in Jinling to borrow grain. ”
Li Yuncong said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if the emperor is really angry, the miscellaneous family can't help." ”
Hu Xiaotian suddenly asked: "Does Gonggong Li know that the emperor and Chu Fufeng were sworn brothers back then?" ”
Li Yuncong was stunned when he heard this: "What? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard this news from a blind monk in Tianlong Temple. ”
Li Yuncong said with a gloomy face: "Why didn't you say it at the beginning? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Gonggong Li didn't let me sneak into Tianlong Temple to explain his true intentions. If you want others to be sincere, you have to show sincerity yourself, don't you say? ”
Li Yuncong snorted coldly and did not speak, but he knew in his heart that this kid must have discovered some secrets in Tianlong Temple, and there must be many things to hide from him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "That monk's legal name is called Buwu, which is the strange person I told you, he asked that after the Tianlong Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion lost three secret books, he killed the fake emperor and left, it was he who told me about these things, and said that there was a void in the sky that was worshiped with the emperor back then. ”
Li Yuncong said: "These things have never been heard of. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Is "Qiankun Kaiwu" really so magical? The emperor and Hong Beimo actually spent so much energy to find it, did the missing Danding chapter really record the way of immortality? Otherwise, why would they have been looking for forty years? ”
Li Yuncong said coldly: "What else have you heard?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you don't realize that your martial arts are very high, you almost killed me, and it was he who discovered that my cultivation was Void Dafa instead of some Phaseless Divine Skill." ”
Li Yuncong couldn't help but change color on his face when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "What else did he say?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "He said that the reason why he was trapped in Tianlong Temple for 30 years was all due to his own brother, when his brother killed his family and tricked him into Tianlong Temple, causing him to be trapped by monks, and his brother took the opportunity to steal a few cheats from Tianlong Temple. "By now, Hu Xiaotian can be completely sure that Li Yuncong is the person who killed and didn't realize it back then, and he is the brother who didn't realize it.
Li Yuncong looked at Hu Xiaotian with murderous intent: "What did you say?" ”
Hu Xiaotian's face was not afraid, and he said with a smile: "He told me that his brother is called Mu Yuming, and asked me if I have seen this person?" However, at that time, he didn't know what secrets Tianlong Temple had lost, let alone that it included the "Void Dafa", otherwise I might not be able to leave Tianlong Temple alive. ”
Li Yuncong said: "Very good......"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Muzi is Li, Yu is born from the clouds, extremely smart, if he is really smart, he will not give such a simple name, people can think of his real body after a little thought." ”
Li Yuncong gritted his teeth and sneered.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He also said that his brother's crotch is very big, and it is not easy to hide such an obvious thing, but if a person wants to save his life, everything is done, maybe he will swing a knife from the palace, and he will kill it, Gonggong Li, are you right?" ”
Li Yuncong squeezed out two words from between his teeth and said, "Not bad!" He already understood that Hu Xiaotian already knew his identity well.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do you really want to kill me now?" ”
Li Yuncong nodded and said, "I want to, it's like the extreme." ”
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "It's a pity that you were injured by Ji Feihua, not only became a one-eyed dragon, but also greatly reduced your martial arts, although I only have half a year left in my life, but I went to Tianlong Temple by chance, and the internal strength of martial arts has increased several times. Speaking of this, he shook his head again and said, "If you are not afraid of death, why should you endure humiliation and stay in this palace for thirty years?" ”
Li Yuncong said with a smile: "You forgot one thing, thirty years can change a lot of things, the miscellaneous family may have been afraid of death back then, but now they are fearless." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "The country is easy to change and difficult to change, but you don't have to be afraid, although you tricked me and harmed me, but in the end I still repaid my grievances with virtue, and when I didn't realize and asked me where I learned the Void Dafa, I sued him......"
Li Yuncong heard the sudden interruption of the key point, the expression on his face suddenly became anxious, and his breathing became short, with his cultivation is really undeserved.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I said it's Hong Beimo!" ”
Li Yuncong said in a low voice: "Really? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I say your name, do you think you will live in a chic way until now?" If you don't realize it, you can come and go freely in the Tianlong Temple, where there are many masters, and you can't stop him like a palace. ”
Li Yuncong was silent, the secret that had been hidden for thirty years was unexpectedly exposed by a teenager in person, and at this time he had all the flavors in his heart. Hu Xiaotian is not wrong in what he said, with his current situation, even if he wants to kill Hu Xiaotian, he is powerless. Hu Xiaotian is well versed in the way of attacking the heart, only by holding the secret in his hands can he become a weapon to coerce the other party, he did not make this matter public, in fact, Li Yuncong's secret is not harmful to him at all.
Li Yuncong pondered for a long time, the murderous aura on his body had disappeared into invisibility, and he sighed and said, "So the miscellaneous family owes you a favor." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Not just one, you owe me too much." (To be continued......)
