Chapter 373 [Ill-intentioned] (I)
Hu Xiaotian said: "The adult has won the award, and the miscellaneous family is ordered by His Majesty to escort the princess to Yongdu to complete the marriage is simply a matter of duty, I thought that the princess would be happy for a lifetime after marriage, and the two countries of Dakang and Dayong could also tie the same relationship forever, but I didn't expect the princess to encounter misfortune in Yongdu for no reason......" Speaking of this, he looked sad and put down the wine glass he picked up. Although there is no merit, but there is no responsibility for himself, as far as this mission is concerned, it should be regarded as a successful completion, as for the death of Princess Anping, it is what happened after arriving in Yongdu, and Dayong should be fully responsible.
Zhao Dengyun said: "It is said that Huo Shengnan, the general of Dayong, killed Princess Anping because of jealousy and hatred? β
After the assassination of Princess Anping, Dayong announced the results of this investigation, which is now known to the world.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The murderers who assassinated the princess were all ambushed on the spot, but Huo Shengnan had already escaped without a trace. β
Zhao Wusheng on the side said: "This Huo Shengnan is the first female general of Dayong, and she once made great achievements for Dayong, but she didn't expect her heart to be so vicious that she dared to murder Princess Anping." β
Zhao Dengyun sighed and said: "The princess is kind-hearted, but she has a bad fate, and finally fell into such a bleak end, which is really embarrassing to think about. β
Zhao Wusheng said with grief and indignation: "If I catch that Huo Shengnan, I will definitely cut her with a thousand knives to relieve the hatred in my heart." β
Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart, + You are to say, if you really dare to be unfavorable to Shengnan, Lao Tzu will not let you go first, but this Zhao Wusheng should not be simple, since Ji Feihua attaches great importance to him, Cheng DΓΉ should not be inferior to himself, he let him answer him here, and secretly moved his hands and feet, he is the culprit who led the sinking ship. is full of vigilance against Zhao Wusheng and Hu Xiaotian, after all, this person is likely to know that Wen Boyuan's death is related to him. He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank a glass of wine and said, "Since the incident has happened, there is no way to undo it." The miscellaneous family now only wants to escort the princess's ashes back to Kangdu and hand over to the emperor, no matter how the emperor punishes me, the miscellaneous family will not have any complaints. β
Zhao Dengyun said: "It's not that Lord Wu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also sent an envoy with Gonggong Hu, why is it only Lord Hu who has come back?" β
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's hard to explain this matter in a word, and I'll explain it to the emperor when I return to the capital." "The implication is that you, Zhao Dengyun, are not qualified to know about this matter. However, he had already asked Wu Jingshan and others to return to Dakang in advance. Judging from Zhao Dengyun's question, Wu Jingshan may still not have come to Wuxing County, or he may have come but did not dare to make the road public.
Zhao Dengyun said: "Gonggong Hu still doesn't know? β
Hu Xiaotian said: "What do you know? β
Zhao Dengyun slowly put the wine glass in his hand on the table and said, "Something big happened in the capital!" β
Hu Xiaotian was most concerned about this aspect of the matter in his heart, and he wished that Zhao Dengyun would take the initiative to mention this matter, so he pretended to be nervous and said, "What's the big deal?" β
Zhao Dengyun lowered his voice and said: "The emperor has lost his heart and gone crazy!" β
Hu Xiaotian had already learned the news. Naturally, he was not surprised, and he had to pretend to be very concerned on his face: "How can this be? How so! β
Zhao Dengyun said: "It's not that I was killed. β
Hu Xiaotian gasped and said, "Who dares to be so bold and dare to murder the emperor?" β
Zhao Dengyun said: "Who else?" Except for Ji Feihua, the eunuch with wolf ambitions, who has such guts? β
Hu Xiaotian's heart sank, Zhao Dengyun openly insulted Ji Feihua in front of him, if it weren't for Ji Feihua's accident, he would never have had such courage, thinking of the news he heard on the deck of the merchant ship yesterday. There was an extremely bad premonition in my heart, could it be that Ji Feihua really had an accident? In Hu Xiaotian's heart, he has always regarded Ji Feihua as an almost invincible being. Not only because Ji Feihua has a martial arts that has been perfected, but also because he has a wise mind and a ruthless iron-blooded wrist, it is not easy to deal with such a person.
After Zhao Dengyun scolded this sentence, he quietly observed Hu Xiaotian's expression from the corner of his eye, and scolded Ji Feihua for being a eunuch, and Hu Xiaotian was also a eunuch. And almost everyone knows that Hu Xiaotian is a celebrity under Ji Feihua, and the reason why he was able to become this deputy marriage history is that Ji Feihua personally sponsored him, and Ji Feihua is Hu Xiaotian's backer, and now the backer has fallen. Let's see where you little eunuch should go?
Hu Xiaotian's face was indeed not good-looking, and there was no need to hide it, there was no point in pretending to be calm, he pursed his lips and said, "What does Lord Admiral mean?" β
Zhao Dengyun smiled: "It is said that Lord Hu is exquisite in the palace, so he can meet the source left and right, and he can stand out in the palace in such a short time after entering the palace, not only to get the trust of Ji Feihua, but also to win the trust of the emperor, don't you understand what I mean?" His words were not flattering, but distinctly sarcastic.
Zhao Wusheng said: "Ji Feihua conspired to rebel, but fortunately, the queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince saw through it in time and united with the important ministers of the court to crush his plan. β
Hu Xiaotian can now be sure that Ji Feihua is defeated, but he still doesn't believe that Ji Feihua will die so easily, let alone lose in the hands of Empress Jian and Long Tingsheng. Hu Xiaotian said: "As long as the emperor is fine!" At this time, he was in a state of turmoil, Ji Feihua, the strongest person in his heart, was defeated so suddenly, this news completely disrupted Hu Xiaotian's original plan to deal with it. If Ji Feihua is really dead, then his future is uncertain, and he doesn't know what fate he will face when he returns to Kangdu. Thinking of this, he suddenly lost the mood of drinking, and said two perfunctory sentences, and left the table to leave.
Zhao Dengyun didn't keep it, he looked at Hu Xiaotian's departing figure coldly, drank all the wine in the cup, and then slammed the empty cup on the stone table, and said to Zhao Wusheng: "Don't let him leave Wuxing alive!" β
"Yes!" After Zhao Wusheng finished speaking, he remembered one more thing: "But the princess's ashes are still in his hands." β
Zhao Dengyun said indifferently: "What's so difficult about this, just say that I want to keep a night for the princess to fulfill my duty as a courtier, and I don't think he will refuse." β
Zhao Wusheng said: "Uncle is really clever, let's let people ambush in the mourning hall in advance, as long as he puts down the ashes, he will arrest people." β
Zhao Dengyun nodded, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
Huo Shengnan also felt a little curious when he saw Hu Xiaotian come back so early, and said softly: "Why did you come back so soon?" Didn't have a few more drinks with your colleagues? β
Hu Xiaotian said: "The situation seems to be a little wrong, let's leave immediately!" β
"What?" Huo Shengnan was deeply puzzled, but since Hu Xiaotian had made such a decision, he naturally had his reasons, and immediately began to pack his luggage.
When Huo Shengnan was packing up his things, he had already heard the sound of dense footsteps outside the door, Hu Xiaotian was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect to come so soon, he was secretly annoyed in his heart, Zhao Dengyun is also a two-faced villain, just now he was drinking with himself, and he was about to attack himself in a blink of an eye, is it because of Ji Feihua? Arrest yourself as Ji Feihua's fellow party and send it to the court to receive a reward? Judging by the footsteps outside, at least twenty people were lying in ambush around the compound.
Zhao Dengyun still underestimated himself, thinking that he was just a powerless eunuch.
Back in the room, Huo Shengnan had already packed his bags: "How is the situation?" β
Hu Xiaotian said: "The outside has been surrounded. β
Huo Shengnan said: "It's a big deal, let's kill it!" β
Hu Xiaotian shook his head, secretly thinking in his heart that this Zhao Dengyun is so strange, even if I am Ji Feihua's cronies, he doesn't need to deal with me, after all, I still have the identity of Dakang's marriage history, and I still have the ashes of Princess Anping in my hand, is this just to show loyalty to the court?
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, but I heard Zhao Wusheng's voice say, "Is Master Hu here?" β
Hu Xiaotian was stunned in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Zhao Wusheng would dare to come over, did he really think that he was unaware of the movement outside? He glanced at Huo Shengnan, got up and came outside again, opened the door, and saw Zhao Wusheng standing outside the door with a smile.
Zhao Wusheng hugged his fists and said, "I'm really sorry to disturb Lord Hu's rest so late." β
Hu Xiaotian said: "The miscellaneous family has been sleeping late, it's not a disturbance, I don't know what General Zhao is looking for me?" β
Zhao Wusheng said: "Lord Admiral specially set up a mourning hall in the mansion to place the ashes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the heroic spirit of Her Royal Highness the Princess came to Wuxing County. β
Hu Xiaotian understood what he meant, this was to ask himself for Princess Anping's ashes, and after taking the ashes, he could do it to himself unscrupulously, sneering secretly in his heart, and was about to refuse.
But I heard Zhao Wusheng enter the secret with a voice: "Lord Hu, Zhao Dengyun wants to kill you!" β
Hu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, his eyes fixed on Zhao Wusheng's eyes, Zhao Wusheng did not avoid his sharp gaze, and looked at Hu Xiaotian calmly: "He was entrusted by Taishi Wen Chenghuan to kill you on the way back." According to his orders, I have ambushed twenty archers outside, Lord Hu don't panic, he won't do it yet, you send the princess's ashes to the mourning hall, he will take it personally, then it is the best time for you to capture him, take him hostage, and only then will you have a chance to escape from Wuxing County. β
Hu Xiaotian said in a secret voice: "Why do you want to help me? β
Zhao Wusheng said: "Gonggong Ji has a life-saving grace for me, I will tell you the details later, there are a total of 50,000 soldiers stationed in Wuxing County, unless you hold Zhao Dengyun, otherwise with the two of you, there will be no chance to escape." β
Hu Xiaotian was still a little hesitant in his heart, but he knew that Zhao Wusheng did not deliberately set a trap to paralyze himself.
Zhao Wusheng said: "Time is running out, now the four gates of Wuxing County are closed, and the major intersections leaving the Admiral's Mansion have been completely blocked, and this is all Wu Sheng can do." β
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, when he was constantly suffering, if Zhao Wusheng wanted to set up a game, he didn't need to come over in person, he came alone, he and Huo Shengnan had a chance to capture him and take him as a hostage, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
