Chapter 396 [Awakening from a Dream] (I)
Ji Feihua saw that his expression was different, and said softly, "What are you thinking?" ”
Hu Xiaotian did not hide it, and whispered his suspicions to Ji Feihua.
Ji Feihua said: "It's very likely, but why did he ask you to accompany you to Tianlong Temple?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm also inexplicable, I haven't dealt much with the old emperor." He and He Hong Beimo are even more ignorant in their lives, why would these two people calculate on their heads.
Ji Feihua said: "Long Xuanen is scheming, he can't let you accompany him for no reason." After pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice: "If he wants to get out of today's predicament, he must rely on the help of the Xu family in Jinling, could it be that he brought you to Tianlong Temple, but the real intention is to give the Xu family a signal?" ”
Hu Xiaotian didn't speak, but he also had a general idea in his heart, after Ji Feihua told him about this old incident, he suddenly understood that there was a complicated relationship between the Chu family, the Xu family and the royal family.
Ji Feihua said: "Long Xuanen is finally going to attack the Xu family in Jinling. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "He claimed to borrow grain from the Xu family, and his purpose was to ask the Xu family to provide him with this overseas trade route. ”
Ji Feihua laughed and said, "Old Mrs. Xu may not be willing to agree. ”
Hu Xiaotian was slightly stunned, how could Ji Feihua say so surely? Suddenly remembered that he had asked his mother to return to Jinling before, and entrusted her to bring a letter to his grandmother.
Ji Feihua said: "Although I want to destroy the Long family, but I never thought of dying Dakang, even if there is no Long Yelin usurping the throne, Dakang's country will inevitably end up in the waning West Mountain, Long Xuanen is obsessed with the way of immortality, and has no intention of ruling at all, and appointing traitors." Listening to slanderous rumors, he has squandered his ancestors' family business for decades, and the society is in danger, and at this time he will become desperate, and he will no longer have any scruples. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you saying that he is already determined to attack the Xu family?" ”
Ji Feihua said: "Old Mrs. Xu is an extremely strong person, she can lead a group of orphans and widows to create such a big family business. Her extraordinary ability can be seen, after the Chu Yuanhai corruption case, she parted ways with the Dakang court, although Long Xuanen coveted the Xu family's property, but because of the void, he still lived in this world, and never dared to attack the Xu family. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "What are you asking my mother to go back to deliver the letter?" ”
Ji Feihua said: "It is not only Long Xuanen who covets the wealth of the Xu family, but also Long Yelin, Dakang is full of famine, mourning is everywhere, and the treasury is empty. If you want to get out of this predicament, you can only rely on the Jinling Xu family, and Mrs. Xu has never said anything from beginning to end, and even when the Hu family was raided, she never stood up to say a word for your family. ”
Hu Xiaotian sighed in his heart, his grandmother was really ruthless enough, and she was wise enough to protect herself, and in order to avoid implicating the Xu family, she even ignored her own daughter and son-in-law.
Ji Feihua said: "Many courtiers have already proposed to deal with your mother in order to put pressure on the Xu family. I promised you to take care of your parents. But a person's energy is limited after all, and I was worried that there would be an accident, so I asked Wu Renxing to send Mrs. Hu to Jinling Xu in advance, and by the way, I helped me bring a letter to Mrs. Xu. ”
Hu Xiaotian was quite curious about the content of Ji Feihua's letter, and asked in a low voice, "What did you write in the letter?" ”
Ji Feihua didn't answer, and said softly: "Dakang wants more than just the wealth of the Xu family. More importantly, the Xu family's trade route to overseas, of course Mrs. Xu understands this, if she agrees to the request of the imperial court, she will inevitably offend many enemies, such as Dayong, such as Xichuan Li. In their eyes, Dakang has become a lamb to the slaughter. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that if Dakang is finished, isn't the Xu family also finished?" ”
Ji Feihua said: "It seems that you don't know about the Xu family, the Xu family in Dakang is nothing more than a house, Mrs. Xu is far-sighted, she has already turned the center of her business overseas, and the Xu family's property is also distributed in other countries, even if the imperial court orders the Xu family, you can only get a small part of the Xu family's property, and the real wealth of the Xu family is not gold and silver land, but the business routes and relationships that have been operated over the years." Even if the imperial court takes away all the property of the Xu family in Dakang, as long as there is one person in the Xu family, it will be able to restore its former glory in a short time, which is the strength of the Xu family. ”
Although Hu Xiaotian knew that his grandmother was powerful, he never thought that she would be so powerful. However, judging from the experience of the Hu family in the past two years, my grandmother did not attach too much importance to their life and death. Since she was able to bring the Jinling Xu family to the current situation, her mind and vision must be beyond everyone, maybe she had expected that the imperial court would not dare to kill the Hu family lightly, maybe she was not willing to involve the entire Jinling Xu family in this turmoil for the sake of the Hu family.
At this time, Hu Xiaotian's stomach gurgled, but he had not eaten since he had two steamed buns at noon, and he was forced to do hard labor for so long in the afternoon, and he was already hungry, Hu Xiaotian was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, I'm so hungry that I drum." ”
Ji Feihua couldn't help but sigh, and said softly: "I still have some food here." He got up and walked to the corner, and took out a cloth bag from the alcove with steamed buns and a gourd for water.
Hu Xiaotian wiped his hands on his body, took a steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp, ate two mouthfuls and drank a sip of mountain spring water, saw Ji Feihua sitting on the side and looking at himself, and said a little embarrassed: "Brother Ji, why don't you eat?" ”
"I'm not hungry!"
Hu Xiaotian put the steamed bun into his stomach in a few bites, and didn't eat the second one, there are only two steamed buns in this cloth bag, if he eats them all, wouldn't Ji Feihua be hungry.
Ji Feihua guessed his thoughts, handed him the second steamed bun and said, "You eat, I'm really not hungry." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not hungry anymore, these steamed buns and water were all sent to you by the evil monk?" ”
Ji Feihua nodded.
"You've known him in the past?"
Ji Feihua shook her head and said, "I also came here to meet him, and offered to use martial arts in exchange for him to help me do things." ”
"Infernal Affairs?"
Ji Feihua smiled: "You seem to know a lot of things. ”
Hu Xiaotian pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "Do you have anything for me to help do?" ”
Ji Feihua shook her head and said: "You can't help me with my affairs, and no one can help me, you just don't meet me, only when I'm dead, after you go back." You must remember that Long Xuanen is by no means a good type, Hong Beimo is even more ambitious of wolves, judging from the current situation of Dakang, their only hope for reviving Dakang is placed on the Xu family in Jinling, so ......" Clear eyes stared at Hu Xiaotian's eyes: "If you have a chance, go as far as possible." Staying in Dakang can only be their bargaining chip. ”
Hu Xiaotian's heart was moved, Ji Feihua really cared about himself, even if he had fallen to this point, the first thing he thought of was still his own safety, thinking about the many things he had hidden from him before, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, he made up his mind and said: "Actually, I also had something to hide from you in the past." ”
Ji Feihua said indifferently: "In that environment, it's normal for you to distrust me, let him pass the past." Needless to say. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have long known that Li Yuncong is the old emperor's person. ”
Ji Feihua was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and then showed an indifferent smile: "He must coerce you to help him do things." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you remember the secret passage under the Siyuan Bureau, one of which leads to the Library Pavilion, I accidentally discovered this secret, and was broken by Li Yuncong, he originally wanted to kill me, but he changed his mind afterwards." Instead of killing me, he gave me the inner strength. Help me resolve the ten-year internal force that Kwon De-an forcibly injected into my body. In exchange, let me help him go to the Ethereal Mountain to find out about the old emperor. ”
Ji Feihua narrowed her eyes: "You should have accompanied Princess Anping Long Xiyue to the Ethereal Mountain Lingxiao Palace on the thirtieth day of the lunar month last year." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Ji Feihua said: "The inspection in Lingxiao Palace is very strict, Murong Zhan is shrewd, how did you hide from his inspection?" ”
Hu Xiaotian understood that Ji Feihua was referring to the fact that he was pretending to be a eunuch, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Quan De'an taught me the kung fu of holding yin and yang in one hand when he sent me to the palace, and I have never practiced it. But at that time, I was worried about the exposure, so I tried it, and it actually succeeded. ”
Ji Feihua nodded and said, "Murong Zhan's betrayal of me should have been after that day, and I haven't figured it out. Why did Murong Zhan betray me, and how did Long Xuanen get in touch with the outside world, it seems that the problem was with you from the beginning. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "But I didn't send a message to the old emperor at that time. ”
Ji Feihua said: "If you don't have it, it doesn't mean that others have." ”
Hu Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this, he had never suspected Princess Anping, how could Long Xiyue be so simple and kind to hide from him to do such a big thing? Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Impossible, Long Xuanen almost killed Princess Anping at that time, if I hadn't rushed in in time, I'm afraid he would have strangled his own daughter to death." ”
Ji Feihua said: "Where does that tunnel connect?" You can find out, can't Li Yuncong find out? There is only one person who has the ability to rebel against Murong Zhan and can hide from my eyes, and that is Long Xuanen, who pretended to be crazy and stupid in Lingxiao Palace on the surface, but he has been waiting for an opportunity, and the time Princess Anping went to visit, he must have sent him a message outside the palace. And then there is Qiqi, I have always been on guard against those princes and grandsons making trouble, but I didn't expect that after all, it would be a hundred secrets. ”
said that Qiqi would use the opportunity of the visit to get in touch with the old emperor and collude with each other Hu Xiaotian to believe, but saying that Long Xiyue would also do the same, he still couldn't believe this fact, but deep down he understood that Long Xiyue did have a reason to do this, Long Xuanen was her biological father after all, seeing that his biological father was in prison, how could a child be indifferent? But if she really did that, why didn't she tell herself the truth? Did she never really trust herself?
First of all, I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival, send two more again, the octopus doesn't know whether it should be counted as two more or four more, or don't count, everyone look at the number of words I updated this month, that's a hard standard, this plot has been written very hard recently, and the speed has slowed down, but it has taken more effort than in the past, seeking affirmation and recognition, and asking for a monthly pass!
