Chapter 432 [Great Gift] (II)
Everyone followed the prestige together, but saw that it was Princess Qiqi of Yongyang who appeared at the gate, and out with her, Prime Minister Zhou Ruiyuan, Taishi Wen Chenghuan.
Hong Beimo smiled and said: "Hong sees Her Royal Highness the Princess!" β
Qiqi said coldly: "Today, the Shence Mansion reopened its doors to recruit wise men from all over the world and select talents for the imperial court, but why did Mr. Hong come to the door to provoke?" β
Hong Beimo smiled and said: "The princess misunderstood, I came here this time to congratulate the Shence Mansion on breaking and standing up, opening the door, and specially sending the plaque of the emperor's imperial pen himself, I wanted to ask my subordinates to help replace it, but Commander Hu misinterpreted my good intentions." β
Qiqi said: "Mr. Hong's kindness is appreciated by the palace, this plaque is written by the palace himself, do you mean that you dislike the calligraphy of the palace can not be elegant?" β
Hong Beimo said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess misunderstood, the old man is just a piece of kindness, in this case, this plaque is left here, the old man's mind has arrived, farewell!" He bowed slightly to Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan, turned around and left.
Qiqi's voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Hong, don't you invite your secret weapon master to let me wait for you to see and understand?" β
Hong Beimo's footsteps did not stop, and said with a smile: "How dare you be presumptuous in front of the princess, he will have the opportunity to invite the princess to appreciate it one day." β
Looking at the back of Hong Beimo and his entourage, Qiqi's pretty face was covered with a layer of severe frost, Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan glanced at each other, and each other showed a gaze that could only be understood and unspeakable, Hong Beimo dared to come here openly to provoke, it can be seen how arrogant and arrogant his achievements are, the demons of the Dakang Dynasty are endless, get rid of a Ji Feihua, and one more Hongbei Desert, it can be seen that Dakang's luck has indeed come to an end, and this situation in front of him is endless. It cannot be reversed by one person alone. Although Princess Yongyang is smart, after all, she is still young, and her foundation in the court is shallow, and she can have today's power all rely on the emperor to support her.
As for her fiancΓ© Hu Xiaotian, he is not favored by Zhou Ruiyuan and others, because of the matter of the Xu family in Jinling. It is not known what the emperor's true attitude towards the Hu family is, don't look at the current temporary scenery of the Hu family, maybe one day the emperor will settle accounts with them if he is in a bad mood.
After Hong Beimo left, the guests who came to congratulate him also said goodbye and left, most people were still very jealous of Hong Beimo, Hu Xiaotian's smile was still the same, and when he was busy saying goodbye, Zhou Mo next to him suddenly said: "Mansion master, look!" β
Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and looked. However, he saw that from the south direction, a dark cloud quickly moved towards the location of the Shence Mansion, but he immediately thought that the clouds could not move so quickly, and looked closely, only to find that the so-called dark cloud was formed by a group of crows, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and thousands of crows had come to the top of the Shence Mansion in an instant.
The crow is often a sign of bad luck in today's day and age, and is often associated with the magpie gate. Especially when there is a happy opening, if the crow comes to the door, it is a sign of disaster.
Although Hu Xiaotian didn't believe this. However, most of the people around him believed that seeing the situation in front of him under the dark clouds, Hu Xiaotian's expression also became solemn, and he dared to conclude that these thousands of crows were by no means coincidental here, but were deliberately manipulated by the beast master. This matter should have been instructed by Hong Beimo.
The black clouds composed of crows shrouded the sky above the Shence Mansion, covering the sky and the sun, and the dark clouds were overwhelming, and the guests who came to cheer couldn't help but change color when they saw the scene in front of them, and hurriedly said goodbye one by one.
Qiqi looked up at the dark clouds hovering overhead. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Listen to them all, shoot me all these evil obstacles to death!" β
Hu Xiaotian didn't have time to stop it, the guards under Qiqi had already bent their bows and arrows into the sky, and for a while, the feather arrows were shot into the flock of birds, and dozens of crows fell down with a miserable cry after being hit by the arrows, this time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the crows that were originally hovering in the air were instantly ignited with hatred after their companions were shot, and they swooped down from mid-air one by one, frantically attacking the crowd below.
Even with the guests who came to congratulate them, there are only about five hundred people in the Divine Sense Mansion at present, and there are at least ten times the number of crows in the sky, and it is still increasing. In addition, there are many people who don't know martial arts at the scene, and the crows who saw this overwhelming attack were already frightened, covering their heads and just fleeing for their lives, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
Everywhere there was the terrible noise of crows, black feathers fluttering in the air, and the smell of bloody mixed bird feces filled the inside and outside of the Shence Mansion, which was disgusting.
Hu Xiaotian protected Qiqi and returned to the mansion for temporary refuge, Zhou Mo and Zhanpeng led a group of warriors to disperse the crows outside, in fact, these crows did not have much lethality, but they did it like this, making the sky dark, and the original festive event of the opening of the Shence Mansion made a big scene, Qiqi and Hu Xiaotian naturally lost face.
Qiqi returned to the White Tiger Hall, his face turned pale with anger, he clenched his silver teeth, slapped it on the coffee table, and said angrily: "Hongbei Mo is really excessive, he dares to humiliate me like this!" β
Hu Xiaotian walked over, reached out and pinched a crow's feather from Qiqi's head, Qiqi glared at him angrily and said, "You're not angry? β
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of being angry?" The old turtle in Hongbei Mo has won the trust of the emperor, even if you go to the emperor to visit him, the emperor may not be willing to condemn him. β
Qiqi said: "This matter can't be left like this. β
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, our Shence Mansion has just been established, and we can't compete with the Tianji Bureau in terms of strength, not to mention that we have no evidence to prove that these crows are manipulated by Hongbei Desert." β
Qiqi nodded, and decided to follow Hu Xiaotian's advice and endure this breath for the time being.
When night fell, Hu Xiaotian and his father stood side by side on the Boxuan Tower, Hu Buwei also heard what happened in the Shence Mansion during the day, and sighed in a low voice and said: "Princess Yongyang asked you to come out to serve as the master of the Shence Mansion, which is equivalent to pushing you out and openly opposing Hong Beimo." β
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "She is quite scheming, she has been calculating and using me from beginning to end, and this marriage contract should also be her and the emperor's plan." β
Hu Buwei was worried and said: "The trip to Xichuan is full of risks, and I am worried that the emperor will be unfavorable to you." β
Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and stared at the stars in the sky, after this series of events, he has completely changed his original intention of coming to this world, coming to such a troubled world, wanting to live a carefree and peaceful life is just a fool's dream, if you want to go with the flow, you will inevitably be controlled by others in the end, and only by resisting can you truly control your fate in your own hands. Hu Xiaotian said: "I can't see through the emperor's true thoughts, whether he really wants to support Qiqi." β
Hu Buwei said: "Judging from his various appearances, it seems that he wants to pass on the throne to Princess Yongyang and make her the first empress of Dakang." β
Hu Xiaotian said: "Maybe it's just to hide people's eyes and ears, so don't underestimate his strategy, even Ji Feihua, a super smart character, is planted in his hands." β
Hu Buwei's eyes flickered: "You are worried that even Princess Yongyang is just a pawn of him." β
Hu Xiaotian said: "If he really wants to go all out to support Qiqi, Hong Beimo will not dare to do such an arrogant thing, I really can't figure it out, why would Hong Beimo be so loyal to him?" β
Hu Buwei shook his head and said: "Hong Beimo's background is mysterious, and few people know about his background. β
Hu Xiaotian said: "I thought that the emperor figured out that GuΓ² marriage enveloped our Hu family, and then pulled the Jinling Xu family to the same ship, but he immediately sent me to Xichuan to prove that he gave me this identity as a colt to prepare for this mission." β
Hu Buwei said: "If it was just to send you as an envoy, it shouldn't have to spend so much energy, could it be that the emperor has other plans?" He frowned, Huo Ran opened his eyes and said, "Not good! β
Hu Xiaotian nodded, his father should have guessed the old emperor's true purpose.
Hu Buwei said: "Does he want to get rid of you through this trip to Xichuan?" β
Hu Xiaotian said: "It is very likely that there is only one way to get Dakang out of the predicament at present, and that is to recover Xichuan!" β
Hu Buwei said: "Yes, only by recovering Xichuan can we alleviate the grain shortage in Dakang with the grain reserves in Xichuan." But Li Tianheng was ambitious, and he would never give Xichuan away lightly. β
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dad, if you were the emperor, what would you do?" β
Hu Buwei stroked his beard and looked at the moon, and pondered for a long time before he said: "Although Xichuan is under the control of Li Tianheng, he used to be independent in the name of King Qin, and he can be regarded as a famous teacher, and now the emperor has regained the throne, but he has not expressed his attitude for a long time, obviously unwilling to reintegrate into the territory of Dakang, and bow down to the emperor, which will inevitably confuse many soldiers in Xichuan." If Li Tianheng is dead, then it may not be impossible to recover Xichuan. β
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Yes, killing Li Tianheng is equivalent to half the success, the subjects of Xichuan are still the people of Dakang in their hearts, if Li Tianheng is ambushed, the subjects will return to Dakang as a matter of course, the emperor is eager to kill Li Tianheng as soon as possible, why did he send me to pass the decree to the king?" With his wisdom, doesn't it clear that if Li Tianheng is crowned king, it is equivalent to giving him an upright reason? The emperor will never be so confused. β
Hu Buwei said: "Li Tianheng also wishes that the emperor died, if the emperor died, the king of Zhou in his hands could play a huge role." β
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "If the horse is killed by Li Tianheng, then Li Tianheng will be convicted of rebellion." β
Hu Buwei clenched his fists and smashed it on the railing and said: "The old man is really insidious and vicious, and he actually thought of such a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone." Thinking that his son was designed like this by the emperor, Hu Bu was filled with anger and had no respect for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "All along, the emperor has been in the old formation, and no amount of borrowing grain can solve the fundamental problem of Dakang, and only by recovering Xichuan can Dakang turn the crisis into safety." β
The first one is sent, ask for a monthly pass! (To be continued......)
