Since there were too many officials traveling, Haotian's thoughts were basically tied to Tiezhen and others, so he could not put too much energy into other people. However, among these officials, Haotian was particularly interested in one young man.
Attention, this young man is Li Xiaomo.
Li Xiaomo is the eldest son of the Li family on Qinchuan Road and one of the most outstanding young heroes of the Li family. Haotian has heard of his name a long time ago. This is a handsome and almost enchanting young man.
She looks very similar to Li Xiaoran, but they are obviously different in temperament. Although Li Xiaoran is also polite, smart and capable, he obviously has the bloody smell of battlefield battles. On the battlefield, he is definitely a
A warrior who charges into battle. Li Xiaomo always has a faint smile on his face, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart. Many times, his eyes are gentle and calm, but inadvertently
It took a moment to see the changes in his eyes, and only then did people realize how extraordinary he was. What Haotian didn't understand was that the relationship between the three major aristocratic families and the imperial court had always been at odds. The person who came to greet him this time was obviously Pang Pang.
The power of the royal family represented by Ye and others, Li Xiaomo, the prince of Qinchuan, why is he here?
"Jingbei Marquis, Your Majesty has given you a mansion, and you can move in immediately. However, these soldiers under your command." Pang Ye paused slightly. He had already heard about Haotian leading 30,000 soldiers to Beijing.
He also discussed with Tie Zhen and others, so there was no surprise on his face. It’s just that Tiandu Shengjing is the residence of the royal family after all. Except for the Imperial Guards, Royal Forest Army and Dragon Rider Corps, there are no soldiers who can stay in Tiandu Shengjing.
stationed.
Haotian said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Imperial Adviser. I think the Imperial Adviser already knows the purpose of bringing them here this time. In the important place of the imperial capital, I will lead a thousand soldiers into the city according to the rules, but these soldiers still ask the Imperial Guard to
Master, please make some arrangements."
Tie Zhen, the Minister of War, interjected and said: "Well, there is a barracks three miles away from the north gate. If the Marquis of Jingbei doesn't mind, he can bring the army there. As for daily needs, I will allocate them according to the Imperial Guard Corps."
Haotian quickly nodded his thanks and asked Jiang Chenzhou, the commander of the Honorary Army, to follow an official behind Tie Zhen to the camp, while he and a thousand soldiers followed Tie Zhen and others into the Holy Capital of Tiandu.
Haotian's residence is located in the west of the city. It is basically the residence of important ministers in the court. It is not far from the residences of Pang Ye, Tie Zhen and others. It was originally the residence of a minister, but the minister was convicted and executed.
, the house became vacant. However, the imperial court paid special attention to Haotian, and actually spent a lot of effort to renovate the entire house. And the person responsible for the renovation obviously had some skills, so although the mansion was not big,
But there is a unique sense of wealth and nobility everywhere. And under Pang Ye's care, everything is included, including the maids who serve.
After entering the house, Zhan Shutang led a thousand soldiers to patrol around, while Haotian and Luo Xiang entered the hall under the leadership of their maid.
Looking at the splendid hall, Haotian suddenly thought of the dilapidation of the six states of Hetao, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "The imperial court is willing to spend money in this aspect. If the money can be spent on the national economy and people's livelihood, I don't think that Qingfeng will be able to do anything."
Let’s sink to this level.”
"Ahem." Luo Xiang coughed violently, and Haotian immediately came back to his senses. This is the Holy Capital of Heaven, not his own territory of the six states of Hetao. If these words reach the hands of the young emperor, I am afraid that he will be punished.
Reprimand, or at worst, a crime of conspiracy. There are at least hundreds of maids and servants in the Jingbei Hou Mansion. God knows how many of them are spies planted by other forces. It is better to be careful when saying this.
After the screen retreated, leaving only Haotian Tianyi and himself, Luo Xiang said: "My lord, the Holy Capital of Heaven is no better than our six states in Hetao. If you can't say anything, don't say it. My subordinate just checked.
, among the hundreds of maids and servants, more than half have martial arts skills, and some of them are extremely sophisticated. Imperial Master Pang Ye really has good intentions."
Tianyi asked in confusion: "Why did you say this, sir?"
Luo Xiang said with a gloomy face: "Although I don't know which force they belong to, these servants are all managed by Mr. Pang Ye. With the shrewdness of the Imperial Master, there will never be so many miscellaneous people mixed in.
The Imperial Preceptor did not tell the lord about this matter, which was obviously meant to be a test. After all, no one can rest assured about a local upstart who suddenly appeared without any background. These servants can usually monitor our words and deeds.
, if the lord does not like them one day, he can also be used as an assassin. Hey, their calculations are quite good, but are we so easy to get along with?"
Haotian pondered for a moment and then said: "The Imperial Preceptor treats me with utmost sincerity. I think he definitely doesn't mean this. Besides, the imperial court is in the midst of employing people now, and the Imperial Preceptor will definitely not do such a thing that would make one's relatives angry and the other's enemies happy.
.But if these maids are from other forces, it would be hard to tell."
Luo Xiang sighed in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "My lord, now we are in danger, and we must be on guard against these things. Although my lord's soldiers are all invincible warriors on the battlefield, but
In this case, it will not be of much help to the Lord's safety. Therefore, my subordinates think that we should train some masters."
Haotian said: "Sir, please elaborate."
"Although the lord's personal soldiers are loyal, brave and fearless people, it is difficult for them to exert their due fighting power in front of the top masters in the world. If someone really has ill intentions towards the lord, send some top masters to assassinate them.
My lord, these thousand soldiers are simply not enough to protect my lord."
Haotian nodded with enlightenment. He obviously remembered the Blood Killing that swept through thousands of armies with one man's power. Back then, the iron cavalry outside the Great Wall were tough and good at fighting, but they were still full of loopholes in front of the Blood Killing Butcher's Knife.
, if two more masters like Xue Sha were caught by surprise, not to mention a thousand personal soldiers, even ten thousand soldiers might not be able to stop them. But what Haotian doesn't know is that although there are many masters in the world,
But there are definitely no more than ten people who can compare with the blood killing. After all, the direct disciples of Yingwu Lay, the world's top master thirty years ago, are definitely not comparable to ordinary masters.
After thinking about this, Haotian still hesitated. This is easier said than done. Although the martial arts world is prosperous nowadays, many masters already have masters. And among the remaining people, it is inevitable that there will be some people with ulterior motives. If
If you raise a few master-devourers, you will probably die faster.
Luo Xiang seemed to see through Haotian's worries, so he continued: "My lord, don't worry. I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a while, and I have made a few friends. They also have a good relationship with your father. It's just that it has been many years.
Missing, and they don’t know the master’s life experience. When the time comes, my subordinates will personally invite them, and I think they will not refuse. Besides, there are many outstanding talents in the six states of Hetao. It is only due to the invasion of aliens that we entered Hetao.
The time has not been long, so no one has come to serve for the time being. After the lord truly turns the Hetao into his own territory, I believe that many people will come to the lord's door, and we can also secretly recruit some dead people here.
scholar."
Haotian waved his hand: "Let sir take care of these things. With sir taking charge, there won't be any surprises. Well, there is one more thing. I am in Beijing this time, and I don't know when I will be able to go back. Sir
Immediately Fei Ge sent a message back to Hetao, asking General Chu Xiangcheng to take charge of the government affairs in Hetao, no matter how big or small, don't worry about it. As for the military adviser, let him pay more attention to the military aspect, especially the whereabouts of Xue Sha and others. They have entered the outside of the Great Wall.
It should have been a while, but there has been no news for so long. Our cavalry has all come out, and the Hetao army is being reorganized now, so don’t let the villains take advantage of the loophole."
Luo Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, but looking at Haotian's appearance that he didn't want to continue the topic, he had no choice but to nod. At this moment, a young eunuch came in under the leadership of Zhan Shu Tang, holding an invitation.
hall.
"My servant Liu Zhi pays homage to Marquis Jingbei." The young eunuch was obedient and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.
"My father-in-law, please get up." Haotian helped him up with one hand. With his current status, he naturally did not need to do this to these little eunuchs. However, he had been familiar with history books since he was a child and knew that although these people were of low status, it was best not to treat them like this.
Those who are easily offended should be treated with courtesy.
"I don't dare." Liu Zhi kowtowed again before standing up and saying, and then presented the invitation in his hand to Haotian with both hands.
Haotian signed the invitation and handed it to Tianyi beside him. He turned around and asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, I don't know what is going on?"
"How can I know this because I have such a humble status?" Liu Zhi was also a smart man and rolled his eyes: "But I heard from the emperor's father-in-law Qian that it seems that the emperor is going to hold a banquet for the Marquis to welcome him. Apart from the Imperial Master and the Grand Master,
The old marshal and even the heads of the three major families were present."
"Oh?" Haotian was slightly surprised: "The heads of the three aristocratic families? Have they also come to the capital?" Although he saw Li Xiaomo at the city gate just now, what Haotian didn't expect was that the heads of the three aristocratic families
The heads of the family actually came to Tiandu Shengjing together. However, these three people are all cunning and cunning people. I don’t know what conspiracy they have in gathering at Tiandu Shengjing.
Liu Zhi bowed and replied: "The three princes have arrived in the capital two days ago. They are just tired from the journey and have been resting in the mansion. At this banquet, it seems that the emperor hopes that the marquis can get to know the three princes."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Haotian nodded and said. Liu Zhi also understood that Haotian was seeing off the guests, so he stopped staying and turned around to follow Zhan Shutang to receive the reward.
Haotian waited for Liu Zhi's figure to disappear from sight, and then asked Luo Xiang: "Mr. Luo, what do you think the banquet is about tonight?"
Luo Xiang held the invitation handed over by Tianyi, and after reading it for a long time, he said: "I also feel a little strange. If it is really the emperor who receives the favor for the Marquis, it seems that there is no need for this method. Moreover, the imperial court and the three major aristocratic families have always
No, this time they even invited the head of their family. Could it be that they have something to discuss? But since the emperor personally came forward, it is naturally not the Hongmen Banquet."
Haotian nodded: "I think so. It's just that I don't know why, but I always feel inexplicably worried. It seems like something will happen tonight."
"In this case, we'd better be careful." Luo Xiang said with a slightly moved expression. He had heard that many people with extraordinary talents always have a superhuman premonition of danger, which is a kind of intuition about danger.
.Although there is no trace of this, you can always feel its existence. You may not believe in some things, but they do exist. Luo Xiang is not willing to risk Haotian's life.
