Chapter 269 [Bad News Comes] (I)
Li Shenzhou said: "This knife is called Huluo, and it is a relic of General Wen. â
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I look a little familiar." "My heart said that no matter how thick-skinned you are, after all, you are a famous general of Dayong, and you will not be greedy for a knife from a dead man.
Li Shenzhou didn't mean to return the tiger spirit to Hu Xiaotian, and said softly: "This knife is owned by Feng Xingyun, and I have some friendship with him, and I am ready to return this tiger spirit to him with my own hands." â
Hu Xiaotian sighed: "Actually, it's the same for returning the relics to General Wen's parents." â
Li Shenzhou said: "Lord Hu should not know the origin of this knife, this knife is the blade that swept the world when Feng Xingyun was young, since he handed over the tiger spirit to General Wen, it proves his preference for General Wen, and now General Wen has been killed, it is precisely this knife that killed him, I believe that Feng Xingyun will never give up, and will definitely take this knife to find out the real murderer, and cut him with a thousand knives." Speaking of this, a deep chill appeared between his teeth, and his gaze burst out with cold murderous intent.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but shudder in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded with empathy, and said angrily: "General Wen and I have come all the way here, if I let me know who killed him, I must kill that thief with my own hands." â
Li Shenzhou suddenly said: "Does Master Hu know martial arts?" â
The sudden question made Hu Xiaotian slightly stunned, and he didn't know what the purpose of Li Shenzhou's words was, so he turned his mind and immediately replied: "I have learned some means of self-defense, if it is martial arts, I am afraid it will be laughable and generous." â
Li Shenzhou said: "General Wen became famous as a young man, and he is a popular disciple, the martial arts of the murderer who can kill him are by no means general, I give Master Hu a piece of advice, if you really find the murderer, it is better not to be impulsive." â
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "What General Li said is true. To be a man, you have to be self-aware, and with my little three-legged cat kung fu, I can only send the real murderer to death. â
Li Shenzhou said: "Master Hu must have experienced a lot of risks all the way from Kangdu, right? He knocked on the sidelines and tried to come up with some useful clues.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dakang is quite peaceful, plus there is General Wen's protection along the way, so I didn't encounter any big trouble." "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, even if Dakang has become a pot of porridge, he can't tell Li Shenzhou, an outsider.
After breaking up with Li Shenzhou. Hu Xiaotian came to the cabin with seasickness medicine, saw Zijuan sitting in front of the window reading a book, and heard Hu Xiaotian's footsteps, she raised her head, put down the scroll, and stared at Hu Xiaotian coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Hu Xiaotian was a little uncomfortable by her, presented the medicine bottle in his hand, and said respectfully: "The seasickness medicine that General Li just sent." â
Zijuan said, "Why did you suddenly send me this thing?" â
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "It's all because I let out the wind to the outside world, saying that the princess is seasick." â
Zijuan said: "I'm very good. Take this thing back, I don't need it. â
Hu Xiaotian said in a low voice: "Princess, can't you trust me?" â
Zijuan looked disdainful and said, "Do you think you can be trusted?" â
Hu Xiaotian said: "If I can't be trusted, I won't be able to find a credible person in the world." â
Zijuan said: "For some reason, I always feel in my heart that she is still alive. Although she didn't say her name, Hu Xiaotian understood that what Zijuan was talking about must be Long Xiyue.
Hu Xiaotian reminded Zijuan: "The past has passed, the princess still doesn't have to think too much, it's the right thing to pay attention to the present." â
Zijuan said, "Aren't you afraid? â
"Afraid of what?"
Zijuan stood up. walked towards Hu Xiaotian step by step, and said in a low voice: "If the matter is revealed." All people will die without a place to be buried. â
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "Xiao Tian is optimistic, and his luck has always been good. â
Zijuan said: "If I marry the Seventh Prince of Dayong, don't you worry that I will kill you all in order to keep this secret?" â
Hu Xiaotian looked at the murderous intent that burst out of her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, damn it! I really didn't see it in the past, this Nizi was so vicious. The little palace maid became a fake princess, and an accident completed the counterattack from a slave to a master, could it be that this change also changed her temperament? You still need to be more careful with Zijuan, Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I thought about this possibility, so I will leave the Xiong family father and son." so as not to be killed in the confusion of Yongdu, and it is impossible to spread the truth. â
Zijuan bit her lip and said suspiciously: "You will tell others about these things?" â
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "As long as the princess doesn't think nonsense, Xiaotian won't talk nonsense, in fact, everyone is sitting in the same boat, and they should be in the same boat, although Xiaotian is just a palace person, but he is loyal to the princess." â
"If you are loyal, when you arrive in Yongdu, you will stay there for the rest of your life." Zijuan turned around and returned to her seat to pick up the book again.
Hu Xiaotian already had murderous thoughts about Zijuan in his heart, this woman is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, but now that the situation has developed to such a point, it is no longer under his complete control, and it is not so easy to get rid of Zijuan.
Back in his cabin, Zhou Mo was tidying up the bed there, and said to Hu Xiaotian with a sound transmission: "Li Shenzhou has arranged a lot of eyeliner on the ship, we have to be careful with every move." â
Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard that he is the first fierce general of Dayong, but he seems to be a weak scholar, I don't know what the real martial arts are?" â
Zhou Mo said: "There is no vanity under the fame, no matter what, let's try to be as careful as possible, and wait until we get to Yongdu and contact your second brother, and then consider a plan to get out." â
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "I just don't know if there will be danger along the way." â
Zhou Mo said in a low voice: "Are you worried that Ji Feihua still wants to get rid of Princess Anping?" â
Hu Xiaotian said: "This is no longer his sphere of influence, he shouldn't take the risk of doing this, I just heard that the internal disputes in Dayong are also extremely fierce, and there is a peaceful mass between the princes on the surface, but they can intrigue behind their backs, and they are all coveting the position of the crown prince, among which the seventh prince Xue Daoming and the eldest prince Xue Daohong have the loudest voice." â
Zhou Mo said: "If the Seventh Prince and Princess Anping marry Shun LĂŹ, it will be of great benefit to him to compete for the position of the crown prince." â
Hu Xiaotian said: "That's exactly what I'm worried about, will anyone want to destroy this marriage?" You must know that these princes and grandsons of them have made all kinds of despicable means for the throne. â
Zhou Mo said: "Which camp does Li Shenzhou preside? â
Hu Xiaotian shook his head: "For us, leaving safely and not being implicated is the most important thing." â
In the dead of night, the lights were still on in the official prisons of the Dakang Palace. The door slammed, and Ji Feihua walked out of it, and the big red cloak floated up with the night wind, burning like a flame in the dark blue night. His face was as pale as snow, his lips were like flames, and two long eyebrows flew diagonally into his temples. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he raised his head to look up at the bright moon in the night sky, and his eyes seemed to melt in the moonlight, flashing with tears like stars.
"Who?" Ji Feihua suddenly shouted.
A phantom shadow flashed among the flowers, and in an instant, he had already come to a foot in front of Ji Feihua, and knelt down on one knee: "Lord Admiral!" â
The man was dressed in a gray night suit, with only one pair of eyes on his entire body.
"Xin Yi! Your illusion transformation is so perfect that even the miscellaneous family was almost deceived by you. â
The gray-clothed man said: "The subordinates did not mean to hide, but they didn't expect the Admiral to come out at this time." â
Ji Feihua turned her back. Whispered: "Say it! â
Xin Yi said: "It has been confirmed that two ferries sank in the Yongjiang River, and Dayong dispatched a naval force to rescue them, and it is reported that more than 30 people were rescued. â
Ji Feihua frowned a little impatiently and said, "Keep it simple." â
"Wen Boyuan is dead, Princess Anping is rescued!"
Ji Feihua nodded slowly.
Xin Yi said again: "Hu Xiaotian and Wu Jingshan escaped this catastrophe and are currently in Nanyang Water Village. â
Hearing this news, Ji Feihua's eyes showed a look of relief, and she said softly: "I didn't expect them to be fateful." â
Xin Yi said: "Long Xiyue is now under the protection of the Yongjun. It won't be easy to get rid of her. â
Ji Feihua said coldly: "When did the miscellaneous family say that she must die?" This matter is put aside for the time being, and you stop taking action. â
Xin Yi said: "I believe that the news will reach the capital soon." â
The corners of Ji Feihua's lips showed a faint pleasure: "I wonder how Taishi Wen will react when he hears this news?" â
The next day's pilgrimage was held in an atmosphere of sorrow. Because of the civil unrest in the north, the transmission of news has been affected a lot, and the specific situation is not very clear, but some things can still be determined, the two boats escorting Princess Anping to cross the river sank in the Yongjiang River, and there were heavy casualties. More than half of the 800 people have died, and the number and identity of the dead cannot be confirmed for the time being.
Long Yelin was shocked when he heard this, stood up from the dragon chair, and said repeatedly: "How can this be? How so? â
The huge Tianhe Hall was silent, and all the civil and military officials had been shocked by this sudden news. However, most people feel regret and do not feel too much pain, after all, the group of people who died without their relatives, the marriage itself is dispensable, and no one will believe that the two countries will be at peace forever because of a marriage.
Only the relatives of the deceased who really feel grief are among them, Long Yelin is not among them, even if Long Xiyue's sister drowned in the Yongjiang River, he doesn't feel anything, it's a big deal to find one of the many princesses to marry, and the family affection in the royal family is much more indifferent than that of ordinary people.
When Wen Chenghuan heard the bad news, his eyes went dark, and he instantly felt that the sky was spinning, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he was weak, but fortunately, the ministers around him supported him in time: "Master Wen, Master Wen!" â
Wen Chenghuan nodded, and forced himself to calm down, after all, there is still no definite news, and it may not be known that his son escaped this catastrophe, but he knows that his son is not water-savvy, and his heart is extremely disturbed.
Dakang Zuocheng Zhou Ruiyuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be confirmed at present, what we need to do now is to implement the news as much as possible and find out what happened in Yongjiang that day...... His voice just fell, but he heard a shrill voice outside: "It has been investigated!" â
Send two more, and then ask for a monthly pass! It's Saturday, and I'm already very diligent! (To be continued......)
