Chapter 422 [Brotherhood] (I)
Qiqi's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately understood the reason for this, Mrs. Xu was afraid that openly providing fleets and trade routes for the imperial court would bring a catastrophe to the Xu family, so she publicly rejected the emperor, but behind her back, she quietly asked the Hu family to show favor to the imperial court, and exchanged a trade route for the imperial court's understanding of the Xu family, but in this way, the Xu family would not openly intervene in the royal affairs.
Qiqi said: "Is this route reliable?" After Shun LĂŹ arrived in Luozon, would they be willing to sell grain to us? â
Hu Xiaotian said: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is suspicious, you can be a small heaven and say nothing. â
Qiqi said: "Organize the fleet now, you should be able to come back before the autumn, as long as this trade route can be implemented before this winter, the grain can be continuously transported into Dakang, and you can get through this difficult winter, but ...... Who should I send? â
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am willing to go to Luozon in person." â
Qiqi's eyes were full of suspicion, and he traveled thousands of miles to Luosong, Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to ask Ying to do this, but he was afraid that he had other plans, did he want to take advantage of this opportunity to escape from the sea? Completely get rid of the royal family's control over him?
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed from Qiqi's hesitation that she must doubt her intentions, which was also something he had expected before he came, he just wanted to use Qiqi's suspicion to achieve his own goals. He said in a low voice: "This trade route must be carried out by me personally. â
Qiqi said indifferently: "What are you anxious about?" Her gaze fell on the nautical chart, and she stared at it for a long time before she said, "Let me think about it." â
Hu Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "This matter is very important, Her Royal Highness the princess must not disclose it to others, including the emperor." â
Qiqi nodded.
Hu Xiaotian didn't push too hard, said goodbye and left the palace, with his understanding of Qiqi, Qiqi would never let him go to Luosong in person. This trade route was provided by Mrs. Xu, and he also hinted to Qiqi that no one except their Hu family could handle this matter, Qiqi would not let him go, and the remaining choice was only Dad, as long as Dad and Lao Wei took advantage of this opportunity to go to Luoscht. I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Hu Xiaotian did not return to Shangshu Mansion directly, but came to Baofeng Hall, but got a pleasantly surprised news that his eldest brother Zhou Mo and others came back together.
Zhou Mo saw Hu Xiaotian's face full of shame, and he hugged his fists and bowed deeply to Hu Xiaotian: "Third brother, big brother can't stand you!" Hu Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arms and said, "Big brother, why do you need to be like this, brother?" â
Zhou Mo sighed and shook Hu Xiaotian's hands vigorously, and Gao Yuan, Liang Yinghao and others also came over to see Hu Xiaotian together.
After the pleasantries. Zhou Mo and Hu Xiaotian came to Xiao Tianmu's study, obviously to explain Long Xiyue's matter to Hu Xiaotian in detail, although Zhanpeng had explained it to Hu Xiaotian in detail before, but Zhou Mo still said it again from beginning to end, he paid attention to commitment, and promised Hu Xiaotian to help him take care of Long Xiyue, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the end, and the chagrin and guilt in his heart were really difficult to describe in words.
Hu Xiaotian comforted Zhou Mo and said: "Leaving is her own choice. Not to mention Big Brother, even if I'm there, I still can't stop her. â
Zhou Mo said: "Let's let Zhanpeng come back first to report the news." He stayed in Haizhou for a few days to look for him, on the one hand, he searched around in Haizhou, and on the other hand, he went to the wharf to investigate whether there were any ships sailing out to sea in those days. â
Hu Xiaotian nodded, although deep down he was extremely concerned about Long Xiyue's whereabouts. But he couldn't express himself in front of Zhou Mo, the more anxious he was, the more guilty Zhou Mo would become, Hu Xiaotian didn't want him to continue to blame himself for this incident, and Zhou Mo was not to blame for this incident at all.
Zhou Mo said: "First, she lurked in Haizhou and waited for us to leave after leaving. There is also a possibility that she left by sea, and on the day of her disappearance, a passenger ship went south to Tianxiang Kingdom, although Tianxiang Kingdom is only a subject country of Dakang, but the queen of Tianxiang Kingdom is the eldest princess of Dakang in the past, Long Xuanjiao, I suspect that she may have gone to Tianxiang Country to join her aunt. Third brother, don't worry, as long as the eldest brother still has a breath, he will definitely get someone back for you. â
Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently: "Brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes, aren't they just women, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come." Zhou Mo stared at Zhou Mo when he said this, and he didn't agree with Hu Xiaotian's words.
Xiao Tianmu, who was listening on the sidelines, had already understood Hu Xiaotian's intentions, he was obviously worried that Zhou Mo would blame himself for this matter, so he expressed his attitude that he didn't care about Long Xiyue's departure, in fact, Hu Xiaotian's feelings for Long Xiyue They all understood, if it wasn't for his true feelings, how could he take such a big risk to do something like stealing from the sky and stealing the beams and changing the pillars, the price and hard work paid are really unimaginable, the greater the loss, Xiao Tianmu knew that Long Xiyue's farewell would inevitably be a great blow to Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian's sudden illness two days ago should be directly related to this incident.
Zhou Mo said: "Maybe she should have a last resort to say goodbye this time, third brother, I think she has a deep affection for you." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "Although the third brother's words are biased, in my opinion, if the feelings are really deep, why do you need to say goodbye in such a way?" Why does a husband have no wife? The third brother is just young, he should be ambitious and create a shocking career, how can he be entangled in the love of his children? â
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "What the second brother said is that I came here to discuss important matters with you, and now that the eldest brother and they are back, it is naturally the best." â
The three brothers came to the table together, Hu Xiaotian took out a nautical chart, Xiao Tianmu was blind, of course he couldn't see what was drawn on the map, Hu Xiaotian told the ins and outs of the matter from beginning to end, and his plans and ideas were also unreservedly told the two sworn brothers.
After listening to this, Zhou Mo said in a low voice: "This trade route can't help but be related to the survival of Dakang's society, and also related to the livelihood and happiness of thousands of people, this matter must be cautious." â
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have proposed to Princess Yongyang that I personally open up this trade route and transport grain from Luozon to Dakang by sea, but with her suspicious temperament, she will definitely not let me go in person, and since this trade route is provided by my grandmother, it must be implemented by our Hu family to Luozon." â
Xiao Tianmu said in a low voice: "You mean that Old Lady Xu will arrange for someone to answer at Luo Song's side?" â
Hu Xiaotian said: "She will definitely help in secret, otherwise even if she arrives in Luozon, she will not be able to solve this grain trade." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "As you said, Princess Yongyang will probably not let you go, then her choice is only Uncle Hu, and this trade route can only be implemented by Uncle Hu." â
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I just want to use this opportunity to get my father and mother out of the control of the Dakang royal family." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "It is indeed an opportunity, if you master this grain transportation route, it is equivalent to controlling the future fate of the Dakang Dynasty in your hands, even if the court is rampant, they will not dare to touch your father and son." â
Hu Xiaotian said: "The distance from Kangdu to Luozon is far away, and the sea voyage alone will take two full months, and it will take nearly half a year to go back and forth, and I really can't bear to let my father work for a long time, not to mention that it has begun to enter the summer, and there are many typhoons at sea. â
Zhou Mo said: "Third brother, why don't I accompany Uncle Hu on this trip." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "I'll go!" â
Both of them were slightly stunned, Hu Xiaotian's original intention was to want Zhou Mo to protect his father, plus Zhanpeng and those people went together, they should be able to sit back and relax, but they didn't expect Xiao Tianmu to actually propose to go.
In Hu Xiaotian's opinion, Xiao Tianmu's scheming and wisdom are all superhuman, but the biggest regret is that Xiao Tianmu is blind, and it is really unbearable for him to sail to sea.
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said: "Don't worry about my body, although I can't see with my eyes, but I am more accurate than anyone with eyes to discern the direction, this time to Luozon to open up a trade route, the significance is not trivial, our Baofengtang can just do some business with it, such an important thing, I really can't rest assured if I don't go, since Xiaotian is prepared for the worst, the eldest brother must stay in Kangdu, in case something happens, with the eldest brother's martial arts, you can take care of it." Zhanpeng and Gao Yuan will follow me, plus other good players, even if we encounter any trouble, we can deal with it. â
Zhou Mo nodded: "Okay!" Just do what the second brother said. â
At this time, Gao Yuan came over to ask Zhou Mo to eat, they had just come back, and they didn't even bother to eat.
After Zhou Mo left, Hu Xiaotian came to Xiao Tianmu's side and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, second brother." â
Xiao Tianmu smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for?" â
Hu Xiaotian said: "What happened just now. â
Xiao Tianmu said: "You just said that you just didn't want the eldest brother to carry too much burden in his heart, in fact, I know that you have a deep love for Princess Anping, and it is not so easy to let go." â
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Maybe the second brother is right, we are young, we should be ambitious, and create a shocking cause, how can we be entangled in the love of our children." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "The third brother really wants to serve the Long family for the rest of his life? â
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have long lost hope in the Dakang Dynasty, Long Xuanen is mediocre, Dakang has reached this situation, he still thinks about only his own posthumous affairs, and still fantasizes about immortality, under the leadership of such a mediocre monarch, Dakang is not far from the death of the country." â
Xiao Tianmu said: "Since you have seen the results, you have to lay out in advance, this time is a great opportunity for you." â
