Li Tianheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but his mood was not as relaxed as he said, he didn't know anything about the arrival of Xue Lingjun, the eldest princess of Dayong, and he didn't know anything about the assassination of Hu Xiaotian and Xue Lingjun, if what Hu Xiaotian said was true, then this series of things would never be so simple, and the real target of instigating these things in Xizhou should be himself. Li Tianheng remembered the rebellion instigated by Lin Zefeng and Zhao Yanjiang, and according to the preliminary interrogation, the two had already confessed that this matter was related to Dakang's secret rebellion.

Li Tianheng's eyes fell on Hu Xiaotian's face again, the purpose of Emperor Dakang sending Hu Xiaotian to come made him speculate, Hu Xiaotian was the identity of the future concubine, and on the surface he looked proud, but now it seems that this kid is just a pawn of the imperial court. If something happens to him in Xizhou, then the Dakang court can use this opportunity to accuse himself, Li Tianheng gradually understood the emperor's intentions, although the old guy is old, but the depth of his scheming is rare in the world, this time he killed two birds with one stone. Li Tianheng said: "Have you offended anyone?" If you think about it carefully, if something like this happens in Xichuan, I will inevitably find out. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "There are countless people who have offended, speaking of which, I still owe Uncle Li an explanation." ”

Li Tianheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "What explanation?" I'm a little confused by what my nephew said. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Regarding the marriage between me and Ling Ai, I broke the marriage contract without informing Uncle Li at the beginning, and I hope that Uncle Li Haihan." ”

Li Tianheng was not angry, put the teacup down again, stood up, paced a few steps in the room, sighed and said, "I don't blame you for this. At the beginning, the situation in the court changed, your Hu family was in trouble, I was dedicated to the king, of course Long Yelin wanted to kill me as soon as possible, and your Hu family was really helpless to make such a choice in order to protect themselves. ”

Hu Xiaotian listened to it at first, but he couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard it at the end. What do you call our Hu family in order to protect themselves, let's talk about you Li Tianheng still thinks that the responsibility for the divorce is ours, Hu Xiaotian bowed his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with my father and mother, but the little nephew is in charge of his own affairs, all because I chose to enter the palace to atone for my father's sins, so I am afraid of delaying the youth of Ling Ai, it is true that in that situation, I am under pressure to show my attitude to the court and draw a line with Uncle Li's family." Forced by the form, many decisions are forced to be helpless. ”

Li Tianheng heard the meaning of this kid's words, turned to look at him and said: "The virtuous nephew is not wrong, he has always been stronger than people, in fact, I repeatedly told Honghan that he must leave you in Xichuan." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Li's kindness is appreciated by Xiaotianxin, but my father and mother were in the capital at the beginning, how can I sit idly by and ignore my father and mother in trouble, and people can be disloyal in their lives." But it is impossible to be unfilial! ”

Li Tianheng was stunned by Hu Xiaotian's words, in today's era, everyone regards loyalty and filial piety as extremely important. It seems that loyalty and patriotism should be ranked before filial piety, it is precisely because of this that Li Tianheng does not want to be infamous through the ages, Xichuan's self-reliance has always been like holding the pipa and half-covering his face, and he has not publicly announced it so far, Hu Xiaotian actually said it so bluntly. This kid isn't insinuating me, right?

Li Tianheng said: "I should be glad not to have a son like you." ”

Hu Xiaotian took out the edict entrusted to him by the emperor at this time, and did not put on the posture of an envoy, pretending to ask Li Tianheng to accept the edict, and presented it to Li Tianheng with both hands: "The emperor's edict, Uncle Li might as well take a look." ”

Li Tianheng has been waiting for this moment. Although he had already guessed the content of the edict, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes after all, according to common sense, he should kneel down to receive the decree, but Li Tianheng did not do this, he just stretched out his hands to take the holy decree and slowly unfolded it.

Hu Xiaotian quietly watched Li Tianheng's every move, and knew in his heart that Li Tianheng's heart of secession was unswerving, and it was impossible for him to accept Dakang's canonization, even if it was superficial, he might not do it.

Li Tianheng finished reading the holy decree, closed it and put it on the coffee table, slowly walked to the window with his hands behind him, looked out the window, and was silent for a long time before saying: "The emperor wants to crown me as a king with a different surname!" ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Li, congratulations to Uncle Li!" ”

Li Tianheng Huo Ran turned around and stared at Hu Xiaotian with deep eyes: "What a joy?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Dakang has never had a history of dividing the king with a different surname in the past two hundred and thirty years, and the emperor is really gracious to Uncle Li, which is really gratifying!" ”

Li Tianheng said: "In your opinion, this is a good thing? ”

Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "It is not a bad thing to be promoted to the rank of official in short. ”

Li Tianheng smiled and said, "Very good!" His eyes swept over the decree and said, "I have accepted this decree for the time being." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "How is Uncle Li going to let me reply to the emperor?" Li Tianheng hasn't given him a clear word until now.

Li Tianheng said: "I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, you are not in a hurry to leave, this matter will be discussed later." He paused and said, "Don't make any public announcements about this decree for the time being. ”

Hu Xiaotian understands that Li Tianheng is not going to accept this canonization, but he still does not openly draw a line with Dakang, such an ambiguous attitude is not what Hu Xiaotian wants to see, he would rather Li Tianheng give a good time, whether to return to Dakang or completely draw a clear line, and he can have an explanation when he goes back, of course, the premise is that Li Tianheng lets himself go back.

At this time, an old voice came from outside: "Dashuai, most of the guests have arrived." But it was Qiu Yuanchang, the head of the Shuaifu, who came to urge Li Tianheng to meet the guests in the past.

Li Tianheng said: "Uncle Chang, I'll go over now." ”

Hu Xiaotian got up to say goodbye, and Li Tianheng said: "Xiaotian, don't be in a hurry to leave, I want to see you without worry." ”

Hu Xiaotian was shocked when he heard this: "What? ”

Li Tianheng nodded and said, "She has something she wants to ask you face-to-face." ”

Hu Xiaotian squeezed out a trace of an embarrassed smile on his face and said, "This seems to be a little inconvenient, right?" ”

Li Tianheng said: "Even if the marriage fails, with the relationship between our two families, we can't turn our faces into enemies, Changbo!" ”

Qiu Yuanchang, who was full of white hair, walked in from outside the door, and he said respectfully: "What do you command?" ”

Li Tianheng said: "You take Hu Shinephew to see Wu Wu, she has been waiting for him these days." Calling Hu Xiaotian his nephew obviously didn't treat him as an outsider.

Qiu Yuanchang nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Hu Xiaotian would never have thought that Li Tianheng would have such an arrangement anyway, not that he was afraid, but that he felt a little embarrassed to meet Li Wuwu.

Li Tianheng obviously didn't care about Hu Xiaotian's thoughts, tidied up his clothes and left.

Qiu Yuanchang made an inviting gesture to Hu Xiaotian: "Hu Gongzi, please!" ”

Hu Xiaotian has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger at this time, it seems that this meeting with Li Wuwu is inevitable, since this is the case, it is okay to see this former fiancée, it is said that Li Wuwu has been paralyzed for many years, and his appearance is ugly, but he doesn't know what the truth is, but think that he was also a demented fool at the beginning, and it is more than enough for others to match themselves, and the two families can also be called the right person.

Following Qiu Yuanchang to the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion, Hu Xiaotian could judge from Qiu Yuanchang's steady pace and long breathing that this manager should be a martial arts master, Li Tianheng has dominated Xichuan for many years and the help of this group of talented people around him is inseparable, although his martial arts are strong now, but after all, he is alone, and he needs to be careful in Xichuan.

Hu Xiaotian took the initiative to break the silence and said, "Usually Miss they live here?" ”

Qiu Yuanchang shook his head and said, "Usually, only the eldest handsome and the eldest young master live here, and the young lady and the lady both live in the Shadow Moon Villa. Because today is the birthday of the handsome, so Mrs. Miss and they came. ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Madame is also there?" ”

Qiu Yuanchang said: "Madame has gone to greet the guests, and now there is only Miss Fifth in the garden." ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded, Li Wuwu is the fifth oldest daughter of Li Tianheng, Li Tianheng's other daughters have already married, and there is only this one among the boudoirs to be married.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Is Miss Five's legs inconvenient? ”

Qiu Yuanchang glanced up at him, his eyes were full of vigilance: "Hu Gongzi heard about it?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Although Miss Five and I have been engaged, we have never met, so I have heard all about Miss Five. ”

Qiu Yuanchang sighed and said: "Miss Fifth has been healthy and lively since she was a child, until she suddenly had a strange illness when she was seven years old. He pursed his lips and said, "But the fifth miss of our family is the smartest, most gentle and kind woman in the world, and whoever can marry the fifth miss of my family is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life." ”

"Uh......" Hu Xiaotian was speechless when he heard Qiu Yuanchang's words, didn't Qiu Yuanchang know his identity? How is it possible, it should be that this old housekeeper is angry but he quit the marriage at the beginning, so he deliberately said this, because he was not happy with his master.

Qiu Yuanchang didn't seem to be relieved enough when he said this: "Although my fifth lady is paralyzed in both legs, her heart is more transparent and pure than anyone else, and there is really no man in the world that she can look at." ”

Hu Xiaotian sighed secretly in his heart, Qiu Yuanchang is the protector after all, and in his eyes, of course his master is perfect, in fact, Hu Xiaotian also has a trace of apology in his heart for Li Wuwu, the ex-fiancée he has never met, whether he admits it or not, after all, his unilateral destruction of the marriage contract may have brought her some harm.
