After using breakfast, Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan cleaned up the bowls, chopsticks and food boxes and put them back in their original place, reorganized the hut they lived in, and then closed the door and led Xiaohui to leave quietly. In fact, Hu Xiaotian still had some questions in his heart and wanted to ask Master Yuanmu in person, but since they didn't want to meet, of course he couldn't force it. ︾Less︾Wen︾Xiao︾ said | You must know that the more you are, the more strange your temper and personality are. It's better not to force some things.

Lingyin Temple is the turning point on their way this time. Compared to the bleakness of the clouds, the mood of the two of them had turned into sunshine and joyfulness when they left. Although the horse-riding became Huo Shengnan and the walking became Hu Xiaotian, they had a sense of rebirth in their hearts. Hu Xiaotian was regained freedom and was happy when they were happy, while Huo Shengnan also swept away the haze in his heart because of this experience. She threw all the blame behind her. Whatever was wrong? Leaving Da Yong, he knew that his life would not be more exciting. With Hu Xiaotian, a living treasure by his side, it seemed that every day was different than in the past.

The two left Grizzly Valley and went to Shao Yuan. Because Huo Shengnan's human skin mask was destroyed, Hu Xiaotian had no extra to use, so Huo Shengnan had to dress up in men. After all, he was still in the territory of Dayong, and Huo Shengnan's sea capture documents were everywhere. The two did not dare to be too arrogant. The plan to adjust their rest for a while was decided to give up, bypass Shao Yuan and go east, and take Dongliang County to take a boat down the Yongjiang River to Wuxing County.

There was no danger along the way, neither the Da Yong official army nor the Sword Palace blocked them. Their luck began to improve since Lingyin Temple. Hu Xiaotian deliberately slowed down his pace so that Huo Shengnan could recover. When he arrived in Dongliang County, both of them had recovered completely. Although they still had constant quarrels along the way, they were definitely not unpleasant to each other's eyes. Later, they became more and more flirting.

The two reached a merchant ship from Dakang in Xiasha Port in the south of Dongliang County. They took the merchant ship and went south along the water and arrived at Wuxing County at noon tomorrow, which was the area under Dakang's jurisdiction.

Hu Xiaotian placed the horses in the cattle bar in the bottom cabin, and then walked on the deck. He saw Huo Shengnan lying on the railing alone, staring at the direction of the north. The two countries of Da Yong and Da Kang were bounded by Yongjiang. The ships passed through the center of Yongjiang and left Da Yong. Although Huo Shengnan was no longer as sad as they had been a few days ago, he would inevitably feel melancholy when he left. After this separation, he didn't know when he could return to the land of Da Yong.

Hu Xiaotian came to her side and smiled and said, "Did you miss home?"

Huo Shengnan sighed quietly and said, "I'm already homeless, but I suddenly felt something. This place is still Da Yong. I'll arrive in Da Kang in a while."

Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked at Dongliang County not far away: "Actually, this is already Dakang's territory?"

Huo Shengnan said in surprise: "What?"

Before Hu Xiaotian came, Emperor Da Yong Xue Shengkang specially summoned him to the palace and gave him a big gift to Da Kang, and returned it to Da Kang as his apology for Princess Anping's death.

Huo Shengnan frowned. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was willing to give Dongliang County, which had just been taken away by the lives of countless soldiers. Dongliang County is one of the fortresses along the river in Dayong. Wouldn't giving it to Dakang be equivalent to opening the door of his country to the other party? But Huo Shengnan thought about it carefully but this matter was not that simple. With Xue Shengkang's wisdom, he would never do such a fool, and there must be his intention in it.

Hu Xiaotian said: "I have to say that your Majesty has made a perfect plan."

Huo Shengnan smiled and said, "I don't understand what you said, it seems that you are still a little dissatisfied with him?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "On the surface, he gave Dakang a city, but in fact he played a secret chess move. If my emperor took over this city, would you send troops to garrison this city?"

Huo Shengnan said: "Which city does not have a guard? Of course, it will send troops to take over."

Hu Xiaotian said: "In name, Dakang took over. But the lonely city stayed on the north bank of Yongjiang River. When will Emperor Da Yong want it? It would be fine if my Majesty could see through his intentions. If he really thought he had given him a cheap one and had increased the defense in Dongliang County, it would be a matter of meat buns and dogs to beat him but not return."

Huo Shengnan had actually noticed Xue Shengkang's intention for a long time, but it was inconvenient to say it out. After listening to Hu Xiaotian's analysis, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Look, you have completely understood your thoughts. Dongliang County may have gone but never returned after hitting a dog with meat bun."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh together.

At this time, many people boarded the merchant ship, and one of them was quite eye-catching. Both of them looked noble in their clothes. The man was handsome and upright, and the woman was charming and handsome. It was indeed a perfect couple. However, the woman still showed a little panic. After climbing onto the deck, she kept looking back. The man hugged her slender waist and whispered to her a few words.

Hu Xiaotian was very clear-headed and immediately heard the man say, "Don't be afraid, they will never catch up after the ship drives." He was secretly surprised in his heart, and his eyes were chasing the woman's figure. Seeing the man take a ingot of gold and throw it to the ship owner, the ship owner immediately bowed his head and led him to the upper cabin.

Huo Shengnan saw Hu Xiaotian staring at the woman's back and glared at him and said, "Luxurious!"

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"

Huo Shengnan said: "It's up to you? Haha!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm much better than that little white-faced person!"

The merchant ship finally got anchored, and the deck was filled with people waving goodbye. Although they were walking with each other, Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan were in a completely different mood. One of them returned to their hometown and the other was leaving their homeland. Hu Xiaotian knew that Huo Shengnan was still calm at this moment, so he stopped disturbing her and searched around. After looking at it for a while, he could not find the shadow of the young man and woman just now.

The merchant ships were traveling far away. After leaving the dock, most of them returned to their cabins. Several people were still watching the scenery on the deck, and they couldn't help but talk. Even though the world was in the world, one of them spoke to Hu Xiaotian. He was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He waved a folding fan and shook his head and said, "I heard that the emperor of Dakang is crazy. Have you heard that? Now the eldest prince is in charge of the government affairs, and Empress Jian is in charge of the government behind the curtain."

Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh. It was already a matter of the calendar, and this Confucian scholar even preached everywhere as news.

However, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's words attracted a lot of surprises. It is far from the information age. It is already news that what happened to Kangdu a month ago was spread here. A group of people kept talking and talking. The owner of the ship came over and said, "Don't talk about state affairs, so as not to cause trouble."

Everyone said, "I'm not afraid here. The center of Chuanxing Yongjiang is neither Da Yong nor Da Kang, and no one can control us." A group of Confucian scholars laughed.

The owner of the ship shook his head and was too lazy to care about the idle talk of these scholars. At this moment, a man in rags lying on the side of the ship laughed and said, "It's useless to be a scholar. After talking for a long time, he was full of nonsense."

When the scholars heard him speak like this, they all became indignant and surrounded the man and said, "I'm waiting to talk here, but you eavesdrop on the side. Even if you eavesdrop, you still hurt people with bad words. Why is this?"

The man had big ears, purple face, and his hair and beard were slightly red. His appearance was full of strength. He looked at the scholars coldly and said, "Have you heard that there has been a change in the new Kangdu Imperial City."

A group of scholars laughed and said, "What are the changes? Ji Feihua is still the leader of the family after changing." It seems that Ji Feihua's name has long been spread all over the world.

The man shook his head and said, "Just say that you scholars, a group of scholars, have not only studied hard but also read books. From there, they heard some old news and were widely publicized. Ji Feihua attempted to murder the emperor and committed suicide. Now his body is hung outside the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, Hu Xiaotian was particularly shocked, but he immediately denied the man's words in his heart. How could it be possible? Ji Feihua's martial arts have reached a state of enlightenment and has always firmly grasped the authority of the Dakang royal family. What's more, he also has the 100,000 Yulin Army in the Imperial City as a backing. He is very scheming and wise, who can defeat him?

The scholars had a general idea. The Confucian scholar who spoke first said, "It's simply sensational. He deliberately released some fake news to attract everyone's attention. Who is Ji Feihua? He is the biggest celebrity in front of the emperor today. How could he assassinate the emperor?"

A group of scholars nodded and said, "It's simply nonsense, and rumors should be made up like some."

They didn't believe the man's words at all.

The man was too lazy to argue with the scholars, and continued to turn around to see the scenery on the river.

Hu Xiaotian was curious about what he said just now, walked over and came to the man and said, "Brother, did you just say that Ji Feihua was dead?"

The man glanced at him and said unkindly: "Do I know you very well?"

Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Everyone in the world is brother!"

The man sneered: "I don't have a brother like you. I don't study well if I don't learn well. I'll be careful of abducting good women."

Hu Xiaotian was slightly stunned. The man glanced at Huo Shengnan in the distance, and obviously he had seen that Huo Shengnan was dressed as a man.

Hu Xiaotian was really amused and crying. Unexpectedly, he was regarded as a disciple who had taken a good woman to elope. The man didn't want to talk to him much, so he turned around and walked towards the bottom cabin.

The bottom cabin was occupied by ordinary people, and the real wealthy financial owners were arranged in six top-class cabins on the boat.

Hu Xiaotian was not short of gold, so he naturally chose the cabin with the best conditions. Seeing that the weather began to become gloomy again, he took out his jade Pixiu and deduced that a storm was coming, so he asked Huo Shengnan and the others to go back to the cabin. (To be continued)
