Beiliang Wangfu is located in Qingliang Mountain, with thousands of households and extremely prosperous civil engineering.
As the only surviving king of a different surname in the dynasty, Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, has received mixed reputations in temples and rivers and lakes. Cover the sky, turn the clouds and rain.
No wonder the adults in the imperial court who disagreed with this king of different surnames would scold Xu Manzi politely in private, and those with ulterior motives lost their title of "Second Emperor" even more cruelly.
The palace is very lively today. The high-ranking King of Beiliang personally opened the middle gate, unfurled a splendid guard of honor, and greeted an old man with a sense of immortality. People in the palace only heard that he was an immortal from the Taoist holy land of Longhu Mountain. It is a great blessing to be accepted as a retreat disciple by the foolish and foolish little prince. The Northern Liang Palace even explained that foolish people have foolish blessings.
No, the little prince has never cried since he was born, he can't read and write, he can only speak at the age of six, and his name is mighty and imposing, Xu Longxiang, it is rumored that the old god of Longhu Mountain gave it to him back then, and he promised to come back in twelve years Accepting apprentices, this will come as promised.
In a courtyard in the palace, the Daoist ancestor at the first level of Longhushan master twirled a snow-white beard, frowned, and carried an unusual small Zhongkui-style mahogany sword on his back. Matching his appearance, he was indeed worthy of the dust Two words, anyone who reads it must sincerely praise the world's master.
But this time recruiting apprentices has obviously encountered a lot of obstacles. It's not that there is any objection from the palace, but that his future apprentice has become stubborn, squatting under a pear tree, and using his ass to deal with him The top three cheap masters, as for martial arts, ahem, there should be some in the top thirty.
Even the majestic King of Northern Liang of the Dazhu Kingdom had to squat there to persuade him with good words, with a hint of abduction in his persuasion, "Son, go to Longhu Mountain to learn a skill. If anyone dares to say you are stupid in the future, you will beat him up, third grade!" Civilian and military generals below are not afraid of being killed, father will support you."
"My son, you are very strong. It would be a pity if you don't learn martial arts and get one of the top ten masters in the world. When you come back from your studies, father will give you a riding captain Dangdang, riding a streaky horse and wearing heavy armor. It's very impressive."
The little prince didn't pay any attention at all, and stared at the ground with great interest.
"Huang Man'er, don't you like to eat candied haws? You can pick and eat wild hawthorns everywhere in Longhu Mountain. Zhao Tianshi, right?"
The old fairy squeezed out a smile and nodded repeatedly. It's so embarrassing for the recruiting apprentice to receive this offer, and the whole world still laughs at him if he tells it.
But even though the mouth of Dazhu Kingdom, which is a dignified super-first-rank official and has a lot of promises in the twelve counties, is dry, the boy still doesn't respond, probably because he is impatient and thinks his father is talking loudly, so he tilts his butt and poofs After farting loudly, he didn't forget to turn his head and grin at his father.
The king of Beiliang was so angry that he raised his hand and made a gesture to hit him, but he raised his hand in a stalemate for a while, and then gave up. One is that he is reluctant to fight, and the other is that it is meaningless to fight.
This son is really worthy of the name, Xu Longxiang, which is taken from "The dragon's power is the strongest in water, and the elephant's power is the first in land. It is as powerful as a king kong, so it is called a dragon elephant." Don't look at the stupid son who is nicknamed Huang Man'er. So far, Dou can't read big characters, his skin is sickly dark yellow, and his figure is thinner than his peers, but his strength is first-class and terrifying.
Xu Xiao joined the army when he was ten years old, killing the Xiongnu in Jinzhou in the northeast, killing more than 70 cities in the south, and suppressing sixteen tribes of barbarians in the southwest. I have never seen such a strong general with amazing physical strength, but he is as natural as his youngest son. There is really no one with copper tendons and iron bones to pull mountains and rivers.
Xu Xiao sighed softly in his heart, if Huang Man'er can be a little bit smarter and open his mind a little more, he will definitely become the unparalleled warrior who is the first in the battle in the future.
He slowly got up and turned his head to smile awkwardly at the Taoist priest with high seniority in Longhu Mountain. The latter's eyes indicated that it was okay, but his heart was inevitably sad. It is not a big deal for an apprentice to receive this offer. Once it spreads Before being laughed at by people all over the world, there is no need to put this old face in front of the large group of disciples and grandchildren in Longhu Mountain.
The helpless King of Beiliang made up his mind, he said, "Huang Man'er, your brother came back from the parade, and it seems that he has already entered the city by the time, why don't you go out and have a look?"
The little prince suddenly raised his head, his expression remained rigid for thousands of years, but his normally dull eyes burst into a rare brilliance, which was very stinging, and he grabbed the old man's hand and rushed out.
It's a pity that this Beiliang Prince's Mansion is famous for its hundreds of winding corridors, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate a "Listening to the Tide Pavilion" that was criticized by upright officials and bureaucrats in the court. Xu Xiao, whose hand was painfully held by his son, had to remind him several times Going the wrong way, it took a full incense stick of time before he came to the outside of the mansion.
Behind the father and son and the old fairy, followed by a group of servants carrying boxes of all sizes, all of which were to be taken to Mount Longhu. The king of Beiliang was as rich as an enemy, and he always doted on his children.
When he arrived outside the mansion, the little prince saw the empty street, where his elder brother was nowhere to be seen. He was disappointed at first, then angry, and let out a deep growl, hoarse and irritable. It was the father, otherwise Xu Xiao's fate would have been like the unlucky Hei Bo who met Xu Longxiang in Qiushou not long ago, and was torn in half by a single-handed twelve-year-old boy. He glared at the guilty father angrily, turned around and left.
Xu Xiao, who didn't want his achievements to fall short, had no choice but to give the old god a look. Master Longhushan smiled slightly, stretched out his arm like a dry bamboo, but only put two fingers around the wrist of the young prince, and said softly and kindly: "Xu Longxiang, don't waste your rare talent in a hundred years, follow me Go to Longhu Mountain, at most ten years, and you can go down the mountain to make meritorious deeds."
The young man didn't talk nonsense, he snorted, and continued to go, but the strange thing was that he found that he couldn't break free from the seemingly calm shackles of the old Taoist priest, and the step he took to hang in the air failed to land no matter what.
The king of Beiliang was relieved, this master with an unreasonably high orthodox seniority really has some skills, knowing his son is like a father, Xu Xiao didn't know the strength of his youngest son, he was so domineering that he didn't dare to arrange more servants and maidservants For my son, I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will break my arms, legs and feet. There are countless tables and chairs that have been smashed and smashed in the courtyard over the years. Thanks to the strong family background of the Beiliang Palace, the usual wealthy family has long since gone bankrupt.
The little prince was stunned for a moment, then got angry, gave a soft drink, and forced the old fairy to take one step forward, two steps, three steps. The real person with the yellow crown on his head and the Taoist robe just let out a slight snort, not angry but happy, and quietly increased his strength to stop the young man from moving forward.
As a result, Xu Longxiang was really angry, his face was ferocious like a wild beast, he stretched out his free hand, held the old Taoist's arm with both hands, his feet sank, clicked, and stepped on two holes on the white jade floor, With a flick, the old Taoist was thrown out.
Xu Xiao of Dazhu Kingdom squinted his eyes, not afraid of causing a murder case at all. If the Taoist priest didn’t have this ability, he would have died if he fell. Did you ever have the slightest awe of Jianghu sects? What about Longhushan, the leader of the Taoist system in the world? Although the several great sects in the territory under its jurisdiction are not comparable to Longhu Mountain, they are also first-class in the dynasty. For example, Wudang Mountain, which has been competing with Longhu Mountain for hundreds of years, is detached enough in the world, right? Didn't they take the initiative to send people to send three or four furnaces of precious medicines every year
The old Taoist floated gently onto a two-person tall white jade lion at the entrance of the palace, full of immortal spirit. With this hand alone, if it is placed in the market, it will not win the applause of the whole house.
According to the well-known saying of the eldest son of Xu Xiao, the prince of Beiliang, that is, "it should be rewarded, this work is not easy, it is a technical work", maybe it is a reward of hundreds or thousands of silver tickets, thinking back then Before His Royal Highness came out of Beiliang to harm others, how many brothels or swindlers got his generous rewards.
The highest record is a foreign ranger who fights against local swordsmen on the street. He fights from the street food stall to the lakeside and finally to the roof of the largest kite Yixiang building in Liangzhou by the lake. The obscene son was woken up, and immediately ignored the young oiran lady, who was as white as suet and beautiful jade, and shouted hello at the window. Afterwards, with His Royal Highness's intervention, the government not only did not pursue it, but almost sent the ranger to Liangzhou. For the man's big brocade card, he asked his servant to deliver a large pile of 100,000 silver bills quickly.
It's really lonely in the beautiful Lingzhou without His Royal Highness who likes to play with eagles and dogs. The decent girls finally dare to go to the street to buy rouge beautifully, the second-rate playboys are finally gone to compete with them to bully the devil, and brothels, big and small, can't wait for the top son to spend a lot of money up.
Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, had two daughters and two sons, both of whom were wonderful.
The eldest princess got married, and Lian Ke's three husbands became the widow with the most handsome face and the most dowry in the dynasty. She was well-known in the five counties of Jiangnan Province, and her style was unrestrained.
Although the second princess looks mediocre, she is erudite and versatile. She is proficient in warp and latitude. She studied under Han Guzi and Master Han in Shangyin School, and became the junior sister of Xu Huang, a master of military art, Sima Can, a warlock, and other celebrities in the empire.
Xu Longxiang is the youngest son of the King of Beiliang, relatively unknown, while the eldest son is a guy who has a great reputation even in the capital. Whenever Xu Xiao of Dazhu Kingdom is mentioned, the eldest son Xu Fengnian will definitely be involved, and he will "praise" a tiger The father has no dogs and sons, but it is a pity that Xu Xiao is brave on the battlefield, but his son is fighting for his strength in the prodigal family.
Three years ago, His Royal Highness Xu Fengnian was rumored to be kicked out of the palace with a sword around his neck, and he was forced to learn from the young descendants of the rich family in Guanzhong and the routine tour before the crown ceremony. It took three years in a flash, and there was no news at all. Lingzhou still remembers When His Royal Highness went out of the city, the touching scene of tears in the eyes of more than a dozen big dandies and dozens of big and small oirans on the city wall was just an insider saying that when His Royal Highness left the city, the banquet at the Hongque Tower would last all night. The wine was poured into Hanoi, and the whole city could smell the wine.
Back at the palace, the little prince with a closed mind ran towards the jade lion, as if throwing an old man was not enough, this time he wanted to throw the old Taoist who was an eyesore together with the weighty lion.
But as soon as he shook the lion, the old Taoist of Longhu Mountain floated down, took the young man's hand, and used his real kung fu, using the obscure "moving mountain" technique of the Taoist sect, to move the kneeling and half-squatting young man ingeniously. Pulling up, he smiled lightly and said, "Huang Man'er, don't make trouble, just follow me as a teacher."
The young man held the corner of the lion's base with one hand, his five fingers were like hooks, and penetrated into the jade, refusing to let go, his arms stretched like apes, and he shouted hoarsely: "I want to wait for my brother to come back. My brother said he would bring me back the number one under heaven." If a beautiful woman is a daughter-in-law, I will wait for him!"
Xu Xiao of Dazhu Kingdom, who is an extremely human minister, couldn't laugh or cry, he had no choice but to look at the old Taoist Huang Guan, and sighed heavily: "Forget it, wait a little longer, anyway, it will be soon."
Hearing this, the old Taoist smiled strangely, but he still let go of the little prince's arm, and smacked his tongue in his heart, this little guy is not only born with supernatural power, he is simply the descendant of Taibai Xing.
However, that little bastard named Xu Fengnian is really coming back? This is not good news. I think he came back to the palace for the first time back then, but suffered a lot. First, he was treated as a charlatan who swindled and swindled, and then the seven or eight-year-old bastard directly let a group of vicious dogs to bite him. Later, he finally explained clearly. After entering the mansion, the little bastard became wicked again, and sent two charming and beautiful ladies to knock on the door in the middle of the night, saying that the weather was cold and the quilt was warm. , Now that I occasionally think about it, I regret that I didn't chat with the two girls all night about "Dadong Zhenjing" and "Huangting Jing".
In the dusk, the figures of an old man and a young man on the official road were elongated by the afterglow. The old man was carrying a long bag wrapped in rags, with ragged clothes, white hair and a few pieces of thatch, squatting on the ground with a broken bowl You can beg, leading a skinny lame horse. The young one is actually quite old, with stubble all over his face, dressed in hemp clothes from the market, like a refugee fleeing famine.
"Old Huang, hold on for a while. When you enter the city and come home, you will have a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine. Damn, I didn't think this kind of wine and meat was a rare thing before, but now when I think about it, I get hungry. Every day Even dreaming." The young man who couldn't see his real age was weak.
The slovenly old man with the appearance of a servant chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth with missing front teeth, making him look very simple and honest.
"Laugh at you uncle, I can't even cry now." The young man rolled his eyes and said, he really didn't have the energy to toss about.
On the 2,000-mile journey home, the only thing left was to beg along the road. I touched fish in the water, played hide-and-seek with rabbits up the mountain, and climbed trees to dig out bird nests. It was the most delicious meal in the world. During the period, I passed the village trying to steal some chickens and ducks, and was chased by a strong man carrying a hoe and stick for dozens of miles several times, and I almost died of exhaustion.
Which Gaoliang boy is not a majestic and majestic man in fresh clothes and angry horses
Look at yourself again, wearing tattered sackcloth, a pair of straw sandals, and a lame horse, he is not willing to kill and eat meat, and he is not even willing to ride, but he has an extra mouth for eating.
There are no more evil slaves. Just looking at Lao Huang's small body that has lived for a long time makes him flustered. He is afraid that one day he will be belching silently after walking two thousand miles. By then, he will not even have a talking partner. There are none, and it takes effort to dig a hole in the wilderness.
Before entering the city, there was a stand of apricot blossom wine not far outside the city wall. He was really exhausted, smelling the aroma of the wine, closing his eyes, sniffing his nose, his face was intoxicated, the fragrance of a real thief. Getting angry, he walked over to find the only vacant stool and sat down, gritted his teeth and shouted with the last of his strength: "Little Er, serve the wine!"
The drinkers who were going out of the city or taking a break in the middle of the city all disliked the poorly dressed master and servant, and deliberately sat far away.
The shop waiter who was busy with business originally wanted to echo "Okay" when he heard the voice, but when he saw the attire of the master and servant, he immediately lowered his face and came out to do business. The waiter was kind enough to pay for the wine, and he didn't chase him away immediately, but reminded him with a smiley face: "Our signature apricot blossom wine costs 20 yuan a pot. It's not expensive, but it's not expensive. not cheap."
If it had been before, the young man would have let the dog and the slave out if he had been looked down upon by such a dog. However, the world has been so cold for three years, and after getting used to living penniless, his airs and temper have restrained too much, and he gasped and said, "It's okay." , someone will come to check out, and your tipping money is indispensable."
"Reward?" The waiter opened his voice with contempt on his face.
The young man smiled wryly, put his thumb and forefinger to his mouth, and blew the whistle with the last bit of strength he had, then lay down on the simple wine table, snoring, and even fell asleep. The waiter in the shop just felt baffled, only the sharp-eyed person vaguely saw a shadow flashing above his head.
A falcon-like bird flew across the city like an arrow.
Probably when the drinkers drank a bowl of apricot blossom wine, the ground roared without warning, and the wine table shook. The drinkers stared wide-eyed at the wine swaying with the wooden table, and carefully picked it up and looked around.
I saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the city gate, stretching into two black lines, which seemed to have no end. In the dust, the tall horses are all heavy armored cavalry in the territory of Beiliang who can make a hundred people move the world. Look at the king's flag held by the general who is the head of the flag. It is as bright as blood, and the letter reads, "Xu"!
Obediently, the direct army under the command of the King of Beiliang.
In the world, who can compete with the Beiliang iron cavalry who galloped through the thirteen states in the north and south of the dynasty
In the past, the Western Chu Dynasty felt that its 120,000 euphorbia soldiers dared to go against its edge, but in the end, in the battle of Jinghe, the entire army was wiped out, and all the soldiers were killed, wailing like thunder.
Two hundred elite iron cavalry rushed out, mighty and mighty, like a rainbow.
A falcon full of spirit seems to be leading the way above the head.
The two hundred iron cavalry stood still for an instant, and their movements were exactly the same. This skill was far beyond the scope of ordinary soldiers in the army.
Captain Zhechong, the fourth-rank military general, got off his horse, saw the old servant leading the horse, and immediately galloped to the wine shop, knelt down to salute, and said respectfully: "The last general Qi Dangguo sees His Royal Highness!"
And the shabby young man who spoke wildly and wanted to give money just murmured in his sleep, "Little Er, serve the wine."
