The garrison outside the pass in the Jubei City area began to evacuate the idle people in the market town. The scholars who were on study tours, recited poems and composed poems, and the heroes who led the fairies to ride their horses and howl in the west wind, gradually returned south together with the swans in the sky above their heads. At dawn, among the team, a group of more than forty people stood out. They were all Jixia bachelors from Shangyin Academy. They were all Jixia bachelors from Shangyin Academy. They were the best scholars in the world.
After the cavalry team crossed the river south, a carriage stopped on the river bank, and two women, one large and one small, got out. The girl wore two braids and held a bloated big white cat in her arms. The woman has a graceful figure and an astonishing appearance, like a plump peony that takes away the color of the whole country. Her youth is perfect and she is in full bloom. She looked to the north, and at the end of her field of vision, it happened to be the head of the southern city of Jubei City. She could vaguely see the armor, but not the python robe of the feudal king. The little girl with crotch braids who was once personally praised by someone in Shangyin Academy as "unparalleled in boxing skills and invincible in leg skills" pouted her lips, stood in for her sister and said, "Sister Yu, you are a heartless and heartless person, what is there to worry about?" ,Hum hum! It must have been that I was blind and mistakenly thought that other people were ugly. In fact, I was not as good as that big idiot Qi Shence! "
The woman with enchanting appearance but cold demeanor remained indifferent.
The little girl tugged the neck of the big white cat in her arms, raised her head and asked cautiously: "How about we go to the gate of the mansion and curse? Don't worry, as long as I take action personally, I will scold that guy until his head is bloody! What nonsense? The great master of martial arts and the best person in the world are no match for me!"
The older woman was Yu Youwei, Mr. Yu Youwei from Shangyin Academy. She rubbed the little girl's head and said with a soft smile: "Some things are worse than not fighting. Being distracted will only cause trouble."
The little girl put her hands on her hips and dropped the white cat with a slap without mercy. She raised her little head and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Sister Yu! How can there be such a magnanimous woman in the world? We are just women. Why don't you go and do it yourself?" If you see me and ask, why are you just a deserter who retreated from the battle? History books say that treacherous villains like to deceive Tian Ting. Maybe that person named Xu doesn¡¯t even know that you have been here. Rejecting Beicheng, you returned to the Central Plains in anger without saying hello. Aren't you being taken advantage of by those vixens who occupy the magpie's nest? No, absolutely not, I must uphold justice for you!"
As soon as the angry little girl took a step forward, Yu Youwei held a braid that reached the sky and gently pulled her back to her original position. The little girl wrinkled her little face and said pitifully: "You really don't want to go?"
Yu Youwei smiled and said: "No need to go, I know he knows I have been here."
The little girl was still angry, "I don't care what you know and what he knows, I just can't get angry. Talking about letting each other work together is worse than forgetting each other in the world. It's all lies. How can it be compared to the love between a talented man and a beautiful woman, the love between a couple of gods and gods?!"
The little girl looked at Sister Yu with a calm face. The young child who didn't know what love was began to cry. She gently kicked away the big fat white cat at her feet, raised her slender arm and wiped her With a childish face, she sobbed: "No wonder my mother dislikes the movie "The First Snow" the most. She always talks about many of the words in it. It's so prophetic that women in the world can't even have the slightest feeling of lovesickness, especially The phrase 'passionate is always misunderstood by ruthless' is the most hateful!"
"As expected, both her ancestors and fathers were well-educated scholars from Shangyin Academy. The little girl's conversation was not very elegant, but it was definitely not comparable to that of the ordinary Central Plains elementary school children.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded above the little girl's head, ""Snow in the First Field" is full of nonsense. May all lovers in the world finally get married. This sentence is the most hateful. But little girl, what you said is that 'passionate people are always misunderstood by ruthless people.' , can be called good words of gold and jade.¡±
The two braids were tilted back. The little girl's eyes were dim with tears. She blinked her watery spiritual eyes. She raised her head and looked at the uninvited guest who seemed to have fallen from the sky. The woman was tall and tall, just like the literati's travel notes that spared no effort to describe. The Mount Emei is extremely beautiful. In the eyes of the little girl, this fairy sister is extremely beautiful in purple clothes, especially her pointed chin, which is like an ice pick hanging under the eaves during heavy snow. The little girl didn't know why she fell in love with this purple-clad sister at first sight, but she was also very afraid and confused.
Yu Youwei asked politely without being warm or distant: "I wonder if the leader of the Xuanyuan Alliance is here unexpectedly. What advice can you give me?"
When she heard the name Xuanyuan Alliance Leader, the girl with braids' eyes suddenly lit up. She was no less serious than the civil servants and generals. After hearing His Majesty the Emperor, she mustered up the courage to take a step forward. She sneakily stretched out two fingers and pinched them secretly. The woman in Daxueping who achieved immortality overnight turned her head and said with joy: "Sister Yu, Sister Yu, the purple dress she is wearing must be the one worn by the ancestor of dragon veins on the top of Kunlun Mountain, as rumored in the world. Weaved from the silk spun by ice silkworms, it is smooth and soft, and feels extremely comfortable! It is said that it is invulnerable to water and fire. This piece of clothing is priceless. Our XuanyuanThe owner spent half of Daxueping's financial resources before asking a certain Mohist scholar who was not born to make four pieces. He wears one piece each in spring, summer, autumn and winter. When he goes out, he flies here and there and crosses famous mountains and rivers without his feet ever touching the ground. , all flew by in a swish, with purple clothes floating, looking very domineering! "
Those young handsome men in the distance who had heard the name of Daxueping Xuanyuan Ziyi for a long time but had not seen him in person were fascinated by his outstanding style and secretly compared the martial arts leader with the fish master. On the other hand, they sincerely admired the braided man The young gentleman is so bold. Everyone in the government and the public knows that the head of the Xuanyuan family has an extremely weird temper. He is really more moody than those dim emperors who have left eternal infamy in the history books. They are all worried that the little girl will be slapped to pieces by Xuanyuan Qingfeng. These Ji The bachelor traveled all the way west to the border of Beiliang, spending time with the little girl. In addition, he had already doted on the child in the academy. Even though he was extremely afraid of Huishan Ziyi's illustrious reputation, seven or eight people still moved forward together. Walking out has the tragic meaning of dying generously.
" However, Xuanyuan Qingfeng only glanced sideways, and the academy scholars who were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness couldn't help but retreat neatly. In an instant, they were all covered in sweat.
No wonder a well-known martial artist once said with a smile that there are countless charming pomegranate dresses in the world, but the Huishan purple dress is the most difficult to kneel down. If you want to or dare to do it, you have to have the ability.
The little girl who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth suddenly patted the purple clothes in anger, then trotted all the way to the crowd, laughed loudly, and said proudly: "You all saw it, I fought against Huishan Ziyi! How about, You didn¡¯t believe me when I said in the academy that I had sparred with Xu Fengnian, but you should believe it this time, right?!¡±
Everyone was dumbstruck, and some timid young scholars had already begun to wipe away cold sweat, fearing that they would witness a cruel scene of bloody flesh and blood next moment.
"Yu Youwei said softly: "Childlike innocence, childish words are unscrupulous, I hope Leader Xuanyuan can forgive me."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng glanced at the little girl who had her back turned to him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. After quickly calming down, he turned to Yu Youwei and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not as knowledgeable as a child."
Yu Youwei felt relieved, her stiff body gradually softened, apparently her heart was not as calm as her face. Xuanyuan Qingfeng, who is only a piece of paper away from the land gods, naturally understands this clearly, but he is too lazy to care about it, let alone care about it.
Since her debut, this woman has never lacked news in the world, and she has shocked the world time and time again. The latest one is related to the Taibai Sword Sect, which has recently emerged as one of the ten major sects in Liyang. The banished immortal Chen Tianyuan arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain but did not Participating in the Wudang martial arts debate, during his travels to the Central Plains, he unfortunately encountered this purple-clad man who had already become famous all over the world. Rumor has it that the unexpected encounter was so fierce that it could be said that the fight was so intense that the ghosts and gods were shaken. Half of Hezhou was shaken. According to legend, Chen Tianyuan breathed seventeen times and fired three thousand swords. In the night, the light of the sword illuminated half of the state like daylight, but it was still unable to harm Ziyi in the slightest. After this battle, the reputation of Chen Tianyuan, the banished immortal, did not decline, but soared. Xuanyuan Qingfeng even went after King Xinliang. He praised Huishan so much that he firmly believed that the title of No. 1 in the world belonged to him. I am afraid he would have to fight to find out. , the neutral position of the busybody also feels that the worst thing is that this female alliance leader can join the ranks of martial arts masters, becoming the lofty fifth person, behind the Huyan Grand View of the sect, who is the only one in Beimang.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng clasped his hands behind his back, and looked northward at the unfinished border city with Yu Youwei. The northwest sky was high and windy, and the strong wind blew against their faces, making the two women's sleeves sway and make a hunting sound.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked forward and suddenly sneered: "How can a person named Xu be willing to miss such a spectacular sight?"
"Yu Youwei only felt that the clouds were covering the fog, and she didn't know what kind of attack Huishan Ziyi was playing.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng made the last sentence, "Whether you argue or not, it depends on your mood. But you have to speak clearly, hide it, and drag your feet. I just feel that the other party has failed to live up to the deep love and good intentions. In fact, it is not your own fault."
Yu Youwei laughed it off, and when Xuanyuan Qingfeng disappeared in a flash, Mr. Jishang from Shangyin Academy said to himself: "You are not me, and I am not you."
A purple rainbow fell into Jubei City.
The little girl with crotch braids picked up the big white cat again and looked at the sky, dazzled, and exclaimed: "How domineering, how awesome, I will be like this when I grow up!"
When Yu Youwei got into the car and leaned over, she finally realized what Xuanyuan Qingfeng's so-called spectacular scene was, and she smiled helplessly.
Now that Yu Youwei remembered it, she didn¡¯t find it ridiculous, but rather a bit bitter.
With these words, even if he had stopped him back then, he would haveHe knows how to say it, but if he is asked to say it now, I'm afraid he is no longer in the mood to say it.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
I don¡¯t know when it started at the feudal prince¡¯s mansion. Many high-ranking official figures, mainly the military counselor, would jog three times around the walls of the feudal mansion every morning, and then walk in front of the meeting hall and the sixth branch room. They practiced boxing together in the open space. It is said that the boxing technique was created by Hong Xixiang, the former headmaster of Wudang. After the young feudal king deleted and consolidated it, it changed from the orthodox one hundred and eight postures of Wudang Mountain to the simplicity of the Beicheng feudal residence. The essence of the thirty-six postures practiced by everyone is still there, which reduces many complicated postures that are difficult for ordinary people in the mountains to perform. The movements are rapid and slow, like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is most suitable for stretching the muscles and bones, strengthening the foundation and nourishing the qi.
Over time, led by King Lifang Jijiu and Song Changsui of Gongfang, they took the initiative to participate in it, running and boxing in the morning with the officials of the feudal estate. Due to his weak eyesight, Tofang Baiyu would stand under the eaves of the wing every day, smiling and squinting. see. Since the official office led by Mr. Li, the manager of the strategy, was leaderless, Li Gongde developed the habit of walking around the city before dawn every day. As a role model for the older generation of civil servants in Beiliang Dao, Li Gongde could not compete with those who built the city. The mud-legged craftsmen sat on the sand and chatted together, but they did not want to hang out with a group of juniors in the officialdom, so they would not be confused among them. Of course, the officials in the Li's Office gave up, and the officials on duty in the two offices were not required to do so. This is used to strengthen the body and not join in the fun. But even so, the morning in the feudal residence already gave people a lively and lively atmosphere.
Today, the young feudal prince stood at the top of the steps with Mr. Bai Lian, watching more than two hundred people boxing together. Among them were Lu Chengsong and Lu Chengqing, the two children of the Lu family. Lu Chengqing did not follow the family leader Lu Dongjiang back to Guannei Lingzhou, but He stayed in Jubei City and became a green-shirted counselor with no rank for the time being. The person who led the fight was none other than Wudang master Yu Xingrui, who had just entered the city last night. In addition, behind Yu Xingrui, there was also Long who jointly visited the feudal residence at that time. Hushan Little Heavenly Master Qi Xianxia, ??and Dongyue Jianchi Chai Qingshan. Real men from two Taoist ancestral courts in the north and south, the leader of a sword pool, and three masters, were leisurely boxing together in the open space of the feudal residence. Perhaps it is no exaggeration to describe it as a grand event.
Bai Yu, who stood calmly side by side with the young vassal king, did not squint his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in addition to the three in front of me, according to the intelligence of the execution room, the three masters of Southern Xinjiang, Mao Shulang, Cheng Baishuang and Ji Liu'an, are also on their way to Jubei City. It seems that the third Wei Miao, a master of Nanzhao, did not return to his hometown with his wife after coming down from the mountain. In all likelihood, he came to our city. On the other side of Zikou, people from Han Laoshan also sent a secret report. This woman also did not go south with Su Su, the prince of the old Western Shu. As for Tong Shanquan, the owner of Jincuodao Village, Li Houzhong, the master of Xuelu Spear, there were also Without losing count, one after another came here to join in the fun. My lord, do you plan to hold a new martial arts conference for the head of the Huishan family in Daxueping?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "After joining in the fun, everyone goes back to their respective homes, what else can I do? Can I still convince these martial arts masters to go to the battlefield to kill barbarians? Didn't your junior brother Qi Xianxia make it clear that he will leave for Difei Mountain soon? Furthermore, Killing the enemy on the battlefield has nothing to do with the world."
Mr. Bai Lian retorted shamelessly: "If I remember correctly, during the ten-year offensive and defensive battle in Xiangfan City, countless martyrdoms helped Wang Mingyang resist your Xu family troops."
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Bai Lian is right."
Bai Yu joked: "No, I'm not the transshipment envoy who dares to punch the prince if he disagrees with you, so the prince doesn't need to be so cautious and careful to please."
Xu Fengnian chuckled, with a smile on his face. He obviously learned seven or eight points of the essence from Jia Jiajia, "Bai Yu, it's a good thing that you are not a member of the world, otherwise I would have to compete with you."
Bai Yu suddenly changed the topic and asked softly: "Can I ask about the movements of Yu Groom and Lou Huang, two disciples of Wang Xianzhi?"
Xu Fengnian did not hide it and said: "Lou Huang stays by Li Hanlin's side, it's about the groom, guess what."
Bai Yu had a clear idea in his heart, "That's the same as Xu Yanbing hiding in Huaiyang Pass. I understand. Your Majesty, there is something you don't know whether to say or not?"
Retaliation for retaliation, Xu Fengnian said without leaving any room: "I advise you not to say anything."
Bai Yu turned his head and pretended to be surprised: "Why, does anyone dare to openly beat the governor of a state in front of the public? What's more, he is the governor of Liangzhou. He has visited thirty states in the north and south of Liyang, and he is the only one who obeys A second-grade high-ranking official deserves to be the governor!"
Xu Fengnian still laughed, "It's a pity that Mr. Bai Lian doesn't practice swordsmanship."
Bai Yu smiled knowingly and did not continue to ask.
He originally wanted to ask if Xie Xiqiao died in the blocking battle of that corridor even though he was escorted by his bridegroom, then what would happen to Xu Fengnian, the King of Northern Liang?He will not have any grudge against Liuzhou General Kou Jianghuai because of this.
¡°After all, he, Bai Yu, Yang Shenxing and Kou Jianghuai, the three of them are considered to be figures on the same mountain.
Just like the deputy manager Song Dongming has a close relationship with Wang Linquan, nicknamed the "God of Wealth in Northern Liangwu", they are no different.
??Also like Chen Xiliang, who had a sworn relationship with Yang Guangdou and the Liuzhou army, Xu Beizhi was quite friendly with Lingzhou, Hanlaoshan, Youzhou Huangfu Ping, for the same reason.
The process is different, but the result is the same.
"Gentlemen are friends but not cliques, and scholars stick together to form a forest. This is nothing more than an elegant saying that scholars are more particular about."
How about Zhang Julu becoming an official? He is almost flawless, almost a saint, but he has Tantan Weng Huanwen beside him, and behind him are Zhao Youling, Wang Xionggui, Yin Maochun, Yuan Guo, and Han Lin, all the important officials from the Spring of Yonghui?
Thirty years of concentrating on cultivating Taoism on the mountain, in the final analysis, is nothing more than cultivating the word "heart". After Bai Yu came down from the mountain to become an official, he saw it far more clearly than many old oilmen who had been climbing in the officialdom for decades.
That small set of Wudang boxing techniques, even for a layman, will still be pleasing to the eye. Bai Yu said with emotion: "If you can replace it with the Taoist breathing technique, whether it is the entry formula of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion " "Song of Embracing the Pure and Returning to True Truth", or the mental method of Yuzhu Peak in Wudang Mountain, can make people's body and soul match each other, both externally and internally. Not to mention how to prolong life, it can always cure diseases and strengthen the body."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "If you and I have another chance in the future, you, the governor of Liangzhou, will take the lead in promoting it within your jurisdiction. I will say hello to you over at Wudang Mountain."
Bai Yu suddenly felt a breeze blowing from the side for no reason. He heard his voice before seeing his face. His voice was as cold as a heavy winter snow. "Song" can also be used? Even the most popular guests in Huishan disdain it."
Bai Yu looked hard and saw a slightly blurry face, but the dazzling bright purple color was correct.
Bai Yu suddenly smiled bitterly and remained as silent as a cicada.
Mr. Bai Lian is rarely afraid of anyone. For example, he is not afraid of Xu Fengnian at all, because this young vassal king seems to be extremely arrogant, but in fact he is the most reasonable when faced with people who are willing to be reasonable.
"But Bai Yu also knows that in the world, there are many wonders, but there is indeed a small group of people who completely don't like to reason.
It just so happens that the woman next to Bai Yu happens to be the most unreasonable one among this small group of people.
Every time there is an exchange of letters, Zhao Ningshen, the contemporary headmaster of Longhu Mountain who lives in seclusion in Difeishan, the first Taoist cave of heaven, will definitely complain in his letters about how arrogant, domineering and unreasonable the young woman named Xuanyuan in Huishan is. present. For Zhao Ningshen, an easy-to-talk Taoist priest, to comment like this, Huishan Ziyi can be regarded as an unreasonable person. After the popularity of Daxueping in Huishan increased, pilgrims from Longhu Mountain were not allowed to go up the mountain to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Secondly, all Taoist priests named Zhao from Longhu Mountain were not allowed to approach Huishan within ten miles. Thirdly, they were not allowed to go to any Tianshi Mansion. Taoist priest Huang Zi came into her sight! In addition to these three inaccuracies, she also brazenly had dozens of ancient trees transplanted from Longhu Mountain, which were at least three hundred years old, including four osmanthus trees and three ancient cypresses. Silver, less than ten taels of silver! If she is in a bad mood or bored, she will even throw some large objects at Longhu Mountain for no reason. Although she has not hurt anyone, every now and then, a huge object will pass over her head, and then smash out a Dakeng, those who practice Taoism seek purity on the mountain, who can bear it?
However, Bai Yu knew very well that the real trouble with the complaints of Zhao Ningshen, his best friend, was the sloppiness deep in the heart of the young headmaster of Longhu Mountain.
Lovesickness has already arisen, but there is no place to stay.
A person who practices Taoism has a sword of wisdom in his hand, and his love is easy to cut. It's a pity that some people don't want to be killed.
The Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is too close to Daxueping in Huishan.
Only Difei Mountain is neither far nor near, just out of reach and just right.
Why is Zhao Ningshen, who has been blessed with great fortune and has been recognized as an ancient person since childhood, so hostile to the new King of Liang? Is it just because of the grudges of the previous generation? Is it just that people slaughtered Xu Xiao and led his troops to trample dragons and tigers? of course not.
At this time, when Bai Yu thought about the misery and helplessness of the young master of Difei Mountain, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He hesitated for a moment, looked at the woman, and finally couldn't help but said bluntly: "Leader Xuanyuan, do you know Zhao Ningshen?" ¡¡±
Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked indifferent, interrupted Mr. Bai Lian's words, and sneered: "Do you want to say that he likes me? I have known it for a long time. I have troubled Mr. Bai Lian to send a message to this guy hiding in Difei Mountain, so that he can Come and tell me face to face, and then I will let him know how to write the word regret."
??The young vassal king who had a big feud with the headmaster of Longhu Mountain did not hide his feelings.The old man with such a handsome face probably would have been impressed on the spot if a bookcase had been placed in front of him.
Bai Yu held his forehead and was speechless.
Today, Mr. Bai Lian would not dare to confess to Zhao Ningshen in a letter even to death.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Is it really appropriate for a carefree little governor like you to stand side by side with a vassal king?"
Maybe one thing comes down to another.
Bai Yu took a deep breath, turned around and left, sighing, probably feeling that the world was declining, people's hearts were not as strong as before, and women were as fierce as tigers.
Xu Fengnian turned around, looked at the girl who was sitting on the edge of the roof with her legs crossed, and winked at her in silence.
¡°Hehe, the girl just laughed. She was obviously more gloating about Zhao Ningshen¡¯s misfortune than Xu Fengnian had before.
Xu Fengnian knew that the little clay figurine with little ambition had three thresholds, neither high nor high, nor short nor short. She would never cross them in her life. One of them was related to the princess embarrassment. Xu Fengnian had worked hard in Wudang Mountain before. Ku helped her earn so many copper coins, and she has given up a little. One is related to a certain allusion of "supporting the wall and coming out". Wang Jijiu, who leaked the secret, has already suffered a lot. During that period, whenever the young feudal king had nothing to do, he would drag the old guy who couldn't talk about it to play chess. The opponent was so killed that he lost his armor, and the old man almost vomited blood when he saw the chess piece and the chess box. The third threshold is related to moving and delivering books. Over the years, the little clay figurine has always felt that the most difficult thing in the world is moving books like moving a mountain! But someone actually sent a large box of secrets to Daxueping, Huishan? !
Just now, Xuanyuan Qingfeng broke into the Jubei City feudal residence like a rainbow piercing the sun. In fact, Xu Fengnian had already accepted his fate. Jiang Ni must have been alarmed. It was a blessing in misfortune that he did not see the flying sword killing people. Xu Fengnian tried to bribe Jia Jiajia, but he was dying. Just a struggle.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng turned a blind eye to this and always stood proudly at the top of the stone steps. Of course she knew that there was a Western Chu woman named Jiang Ni in this feudal mansion.
She asked softly: "How do you think the man named Wen is doing now?"
Xu Fengnian was stunned and silent for a moment, "I think about it occasionally, but I don't dare to think too much."
She added: "If there is an opportunity in the future, will the three of us get together? It's a pity that I didn't beat him hard enough with my own hands."
Xu Fengnian grinned and said, "Okay, but make sure you agree in advance that I will definitely stop you when the time comes."
She narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her chin slightly, and laughed softly: "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, we will have the stingy guy named Wen treat us to a drink and kill him severely."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "I will never stop this matter!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked around and said, "I can find a place to live at random. If I want to go back to the Central Plains anytime, I don't need to see him off. I guess you won't be able to care about it then. When I go back, I will help you find someone named Wen first. It¡¯s big, but after all, it¡¯s all mine.¡±
Xu Fengnian said in a young voice: "Thank you."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng smiled and disappeared. They come and go without a trace, like wild geese treading on snow and mud.
Her figure appeared under the north wall of Jubei City, walking slowly.
May all lovers in the world get married eventually.
She said this to another woman, which was the most hateful thing.
But she never said it, and this was the most promising thing to say.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Xu Fengnian stood there in silence. After coming back to his senses, he found that the people in the square were looking at him with different expressions. Even the swordsman master Chai Qingshan was whispering to the Wudang master Yu Xingrui, with particularly cryptic and playful eyes.
Xu Fengnian was naturally helpless about this, and he didn't want to explain more. It was like there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
When Xu Fengnian came to the front yard of Ertang, he was quite distressed when he saw Deputy Governor Yang Shenxing standing next to a one-armed old man with white eyebrows, white hair and white clothes.
Xu Fengnian glanced at the old guy who was more immortal than the Taoist gods on the hanging statue, and was also very distressed, "Sui Xiegu, last time in Qingliang Mountain, I made you eat the 'Wanhe Lei' in one go. There are three famous swords inside. Even if this Jubei City is turned upside down, there will definitely not be a good sword that suits your old man's taste. I beg you, please don't mess with me."
The old sword-eating ancestor with two long snow-white eyebrows almost hanging down from his knees twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Don't you know that I have been coveting the two swords of 'Fuji' and 'Shu Dao' in Chao Pavilion for a long time? I am traveling north this time. , I plan to make a deal with you. I will help you kill 2,000 Beimang barbarians outside the pass, at least 2,000 horses. You will give me the two swords of Fuji and Shu Dao, how about it?"
Xu Fengnian flatly refused: "I have said before that my second sister has been in love with those two swords since she was very young. She was not even willing to take them out of Tingchao Pavilion, so she took the red sword to Shangyin School. After traveling around the palace to study, I took a step back and said, even if I am willing to exchange my two swords, do I dare?? "
Sui Xiegu sarcastically said: "Indeed, even if I had to lend you Xu Fengnian a hundred more courage, I wouldn't dare."
Xu Fengnian approached and whispered: "Although the two swords of Fuji and Shu are among the top ten famous swords in the world, there are eight other swords in the Central Plains. Later I will get you swords that are not inferior to these two swords. how?"
Sui Xiegu sneered and said, "It's hard to say whether you will survive until the end of this autumn. How can you find the confidence to help me get a sword from the Central Plains to Beiliang?"
Xu Fengnian naturally put their arms around each other and said: "This is not easy. If I can't get two peerless swords that are on the same level as Shu Dao, I will exchange them for twenty inferior swords! There are still some left in Tingchao Pavilion. I¡¯ll buy seven or eight handles, and let the Fish and Dragon Gang in Beiliang use their strength. Then I¡¯ll ask someone for a favor, and I¡¯ll be able to get twenty handles, how about that?¡±
??As long as it involves business transactions, the young feudal lord is quite arrogant and has no shame.
Sui Xiegu's shoulders shook slightly, knocking off the young lord's arm. Then he stretched out his two fingers to twist a long snow-white eyebrow, squinting in thought and weighing the pros and cons.
Xu Fengnian struck while the iron was hot: "Senior Sui, you see there are so many Central Plains Grandmasters staying in Jubei City right now, and more top Grandmasters will come here later, it won't be difficult for me to find opportunities to get some good swords from them, anyway. , I promise to let the old man have some dishes to go with the wine first. What kind of friendship do we have? Back then, it was a life-changing friendship when we fought side by side with the human cat Han Sheng in a life-and-death battle. We are sincerely talking about it. You can't believe me, Xu Fengnian?"
Sui Xiegu stopped and stood at the door of the study, turning to look at the young vassal king, "Do I believe you? Then I might as well believe that old woman named Tantai!"
Xu Fengnian extended his thumb, "Senior Sui is indeed a man of the same generation as Liu Songtao of Zhulu Mountain. He has courage and courage! What a spirit! Even I dare not call Tantai Heping an old woman!"
Deputy Commander Yang couldn't bear to look at him, let alone listen to him, so he strode away directly.
Sui Xiegu cursed in a low voice, "I admit it, you are young and your face is stronger than my belly that holds hundreds of famous swords!"
The young vassal king accepted it calmly and said with a smile: "Senior, you are very flattering, and you are extremely complimentary."
After the two entered the study, Sui Xiegu really couldn't stand the young vassal king's pretentiousness, so he decisively moved a chair to sit down, because he knew that the more deliberately the bastard named Xu was attentive at the moment, the more likely he would be in the future. Ten will suffer a big loss.
Sui Xiegu calmed down and asked, "Is the Zuo Cavalry Army really gone?"
Xu Fengnian sat behind the desk and nodded.
Sui Xiegu frowned and said, "Should the Right Cavalry join forces with the Snow Dragon Cavalry to block another block, or should the Beimang army go straight to Jubei City?"
Xu Fengnian did not hide anything and said bluntly: "If we don't block it, we can't block it. Instead of using up our main field force in a meaningless way, we might as well just let the Beimang barbarians pile up corpses outside Jubei City. As long as we survive this autumn and winter, When spring starts next year, especially when spring turns to summer, the life of the Beimang Cavalry will become more and more difficult day by day."
Sui Xiegu smiled and said, "Actually, you also want to reduce the pressure on Fatty Huaiyang Guanchu, right?"
Xu Fengnian did not answer immediately, and the surprise flashed in his eyes.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The age of the Later Sui Dynasty is the shortest among the Nine Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn Period in China. The rich experience accumulated by the old man over the long years cannot be underestimated.
Sui Xiegu looked around the simple study room, which had no furnishings on the desk or even a piece of playbook, and said with a sigh: "It's not easy for the powerful vassal king to deal with your humble status."
Xu Fengnian laughed loudly and waved his sleeves, "With a bright moon on one shoulder and two sleeves on the Qingfeng family, it is certain that his name will go down in history."
Sui Xiegu said sarcastically: "Thank you for being able to laugh, and you don't mind losing your father's face."
Xu Fengnian put her hands on her sleeves, leaned back on the chair, and said with a faint smile: "No matter how promising my son is, no matter how disappointed Xu Xiao is, he can't scold me in person."
Sui Xiegu twitched the corner of his mouth and was noncommittal. The sword-eating ancestor who once exchanged arms with the sword god Li Chungang fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "I have lived for so many years, and I don't have a deep impression of the Beimang barbarians. It's just that compared to many People from the Central Plains who have only experienced the wars of the Spring and Autumn Period have witnessed with their own eyes the scene of large-scale raids by the prairie cavalry. I was only in my early twenties at the time, and I happened to be traveling to Jizhou with my sword in my hand. At a strategic point between the north and the south, the old Northern Han history books It should have been called 'Zhiguanxing' in the past, but it is unknown how the Liyang court named it now."
The old man's tone was calm, without any heavy or intense emotions, "I saw thousands of horses galloping into the pass. I, Sui Xiegu, am not from the Northern Han Dynasty. What's more, I have never had a weak concept of my family and country. I only aspire to reach the top of the sword. Regardless of world affairs, it is even more important for dynasties to compete for hegemony and change of national surnames.There was very little interest in it, so at that time I was not enthusiastic enough to hold the sword alone and do the feat of one man guarding the border. Then we went north to the Jizhou border fortress, and there were corpses all along the way. There were many Northern Han border troops, and there were also people who had no time to retreat. There were young women and children, and they died in different ways. Most of them died in these ways. You Beiliang cavalry follow The Spring and Autumn Period is familiar to me now, but there is one little thing that you may not have seen before. I saw a full-bellied jackal on the roadside, just like the pot-bellied rich man in the peaceful and prosperous times. Those beasts would not retreat when seeing people, but barked instead. At that time, I didn¡¯t have deep feelings about it. I just thought that the weak should prey on the strong, which was a natural thing. On the contrary, it made me more determined to aspire to the martial arts. But when I think about that scene now, I feel a little uncomfortable. "
This was actually the reason why the young vassal king did not expect the Central Plains Grandmaster to stay in Jubei City. As Xiegu himself said in the Sui Dynasty, thousands of people died tragically under the iron hoofs of the grassland, their heads were cut open with swords, and their bodies were shot. The corpse was carried with a spear in the air, and was shot through the body by a cavalry bow. No matter how many people died, how many people died? In the eyes of the group of martial arts masters who hoped and hoped to win the martial arts championship and finally become the independent leader, the same scene was the same in the eyes of the frontier soldiers. In the eyes of many Jianghu masters, there is a huge difference. There may even be people who are different from the young swordsman Sui Xiegu at the time. They will choose to stand up and take the initiative to intercept the prairie cavalry, but in the end, they will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties. And after trying his best to kill dozens and hundreds of prairie cavalry, he had a clear conscience.
Back then, Sui Xiegu had seen it and had seen it. Although he had a three-foot sword close to him, he chose to watch coldly and hide the sword in its sheath. Even now, he only feels uncomfortable.
Xu Fengnian couldn¡¯t do it.
It may not be because Xu Fengnian is far more Bodhisattva-hearted than Sui Xiegu, but because he was born in the Xu family and followed the lame man's surname Xu since he was a child.
Maybe not at Beiliang Border Pass, but somewhere else, such as Jizhou or Liangliao. When the Beimang Cavalry invaded from the south, if Xu Fengnian was just a great martial arts master who stayed out of the incident, he would be exactly the same as some martial arts masters, just happy and happy. Fighting for a while, and then retreating despite the difficulties, there will be no such thing as taking the initiative to fight to the death.
Chai Qingshan, Xue Songguan, Wei Miao, Mao Shulang, Cheng Baishuang, Ji Liuan, etc.
Why should Xu Fengnian want these Central Plains Grandmasters who are already in Jubei City or about to enter Jubei City to fight to the death outside the Liangzhou Pass and use their flesh and blood to resist the hundreds of thousands of Beimang's cavalry?
Sui Xiegu, who closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes, broke the silence, and whispered: "The sky can bring about all things, and it can also kill all things. Xu Fengnian, are you really not afraid?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Is this what Tantai said quietly?"
Sui Xiegu neither admitted nor denied it.
Sui Xiegu stood up and walked to the window. His burly back looked a little lonely. The old man laughed at himself: "I used to think that I couldn't defeat anyone in terms of swordsmanship and sword intention, but it's strange. I never like wearing a sword, but I like to waste everything. The sword is the food. Maybe Li Chungang was right when he said that I, Sui Xiegu, can't be considered a swordsman at all, so who am I? Having lived to this age, it's really ridiculous to ask myself this question again. "
Before Sui Xiegu left the study, Xu Fengnian proposed a new deal.
After being stunned, the sword-eating ancestor strode away without refusing or agreeing.
After the old man walked out of the study, he walked slowly in the corridor, and suddenly turned his head to look at the lush loquat tree next to the window in the courtyard.
The young feudal prince also left the study not long after, and handed a secret letter he had just written to the head of the Fushui Room in the execution room. The two walked out of the wing together, and the young feudal prince finally told him with a calm face: "You After handing the letter to him, I told him that if one day comes, I, Xu Fengnian, will ask him to do this."
The old spy gritted his teeth and said nothing. He just nodded vigorously and then took the order to leave the feudal mansion and leave Jubei City.
Xu Fengnian stood on the steps and looked into the distance quietly, the autumn wind passing by silently.
Beimang¡¯s army is about to attack Beicheng, and some people are doing things after death.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The young lord turned around slightly and looked up to see Miss Hehe and Xu Ying in red robes sitting side by side on the roof.
