His Royal Highness gritted his teeth and said a happy word, but the whole pavilion was cracked inch by inch. Cao Guanzi accompanied Jiang Ni, who had regained her status as Princess Taiping, walking slowly with her back to the pavilion, waiting for Xu Zhihu, the old sword god, etc. People rushed over after hearing the sound, only to see Xu Fengnian sitting in the dust and debris, with an expression of embarrassment or resentment that couldn't be seen on his face. Xu Zhihu, who loves his younger brother the most, couldn't hide his anger. He wished he could mobilize soldiers to encircle and suppress that rebellious official Cao. Two major events happened in Yangchun City in the past two days. , and the confidantes of Gu Jiantang's old subordinates led troops into the city, no doubt to target the son of Beiliang. With Xu Zhihu's accumulated contacts on the Jiangnan Road over the years, it is not impossible to use his strength, and at the worst, it will make Cao Changqing unable to continue to idle. Ting casually played tricks.
But Xu Fengnian, who was warned by the destroyed pavilion, did not frantically confront Cao Changqing. He got up and went to the eldest sister Xu Zhihu, shook her hand, and smiled, which made Xu Zhihu feel even more uncomfortable, but she finally managed to hide With angry looks on their faces, the two siblings went back to the Xiyi Garden room and sat down. Not long after, Qingniao stood at the door and reported: "Princess Chang, Your Highness, Jiang Ni and Cao Changqing have already left in the carriage arranged by Tangxi Sword Immortal." go."
Xu Fengnian asked: "Li Chungang followed?"
Qingniao shook his head and said: "No, the old sword god asked me to send a message to His Highness, and he will leave when he returns to Beiliang."
Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "It's a big reassurance."
Xu Zhihu hesitated for a moment, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "It's really a leaky house and it's raining all night, your second sister just sent a letter, telling you not to go to Shangyin Academy, even if you go, She also didn't see her behind closed doors. It seems that this time I'm really angry that you came to Huting County first instead of her, what should I do? How about my sister begging for you?"
Xu Fengnian smiled wryly and said: "No, don't add fuel to the flames. At worst, I'll take a detour to Longhu Mountain to find Huang Man'er. Since I didn't go to see my second sister first, at least I'll make up my mind to use Shangyin Academy as the finale." Be honest, otherwise the second sister will definitely shut me down when she says she doesn't see me."
Xu Zhihu mentioned that Xu Weixiong is also a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, after all, he is a real sister, nodded and said softly: "Your second sister has a high spirit, and Dudu cares about you very much. After you see Huang Man'er, don't send me a message." The letter said that I would visit the academy and give her a surprise, so she wouldn't be able to show it to you with a straight face."
Xu Fengnian's thoughts deviated, and he frowned and asked, "Will I make a big fight in Yangchun City this time, will it embarrass Lu Daolin?"
Xu Zhihu said confidently: "It doesn't matter. Of course, the position of the Guozijian's sacrificial wine is noble, but it is not as real as the six books. In the past, you have to be concerned about the demeanor of Confucian scholars, and you can't let go of your figure to do it. This time, you have suffered a disadvantage. Say no It will be a blessing in disguise, and my uncle has already made up his mind to serve in the Ministry of War. Although the rich and powerful are fighting for power, they have not been able to get any favors from the Ministry of War where Gu Jiantang sits. This time, even if the uncle is on the wrong side of the Lu family, he probably has to hold his nose and nod in agreement. If the head of the Lu family can take charge of another department, the Lu family will be considered a step up, and he won't be the same as before. The little daughter-in-law is angry at both ends. The bachelors of the major palaces, the chief officials of the two provinces, six ministers, and more than 20 people from the six ministers, these types can be called the first-line Beijing officials. Is it possible to occupy one or two positions here? Because the Zhongshu Province has long been reluctant to let go of the Zhongshuling, more than a dozen Dahuangmen have their own hills, and the one in the capital does not allow these people to form a group. Instead, it is not as good as the Shangshu Sixth Division Gain momentum."
Xu Fengnian sighed, "Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
Xu Zhihu asked: "Just let them leave like this?"
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "Cao Changqing is an old sparrow on Chunshen Lake. He has never seen such a big storm. He didn't take action against me because of Jiang Ni's face. There are two roads in front of me, one is to place my hope on Li Chungang used all his strength to pull Zhao Gou and the three major forces of the government and the army to kill Cao Changqing together. If he offended Cao Changqing to death, Cao Changqing's overall situation would be ruined. Once he escaped, not to mention me, even Xu Xiao might be killed I have to bite the bullet and deal with his assassination. I know that there is no solution to this kind of sneak attack by a master. A girl has put my life on the line several times. Whoever Cao Guanzi wants to kill is the one in the capital who can barely hold on. The other one is out of sight, out of mind, resignation to fate, there is nothing you can do about who makes yourself inferior to others. Jianghu is dangerous, so people are floating in the arena, how can they not be stabbed, this is what Wen Hua said, really him Damn it makes sense. Otherwise, I'd like to proudly say to Cao Guanzi that I have the ability to cut each other with my son, but can I? If I can't finish my sentence, I will be kicked with my head."
Xu Zhihu patted the back of His Royal Highness's hand, and comforted: "If you master the Beiliang iron cavalry early, no one will be afraid."
Xu Fengnian smiled, "Sister, don't worry, the six thousand miles I walked with Lao Huang was not in vain, and my heart is not so easy to break. Wenhua dogs can't spit out ivory, but how can they not get stabbed Another word, very chewy."
Xu Zhihu asked curiously: "Let's listen."
Xu Fengnian laughed and said: "People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they always be stabbed!"
Xu Zhihu laughed out loud, burst into tears, he didn't know if he was amused or sad.
Today is the second time Xu Fengnian helped the eldest sister wipe away tears, and said softly: "Sister, it's almost time for me to leave, if I cry again, I won't be able to leave."
Xu Zhihu suppressed the reluctance in his heart, and pretended to be magnanimous: "Go, go, I wanted to introduce you to some beauties with innocent backgrounds. The women on Jiangnan Road are all beautiful. It's better for you to leave, so as not to waste money." My Er Qiao is out of her mind."
Xu Fengnian couldn't help laughing and said: "Er Qiao, that girl is crazy or blind, will she fall in love with me?"
Unknowingly, tears welled up in Xu Zhihu's eyes, and he laughed angrily with a weeping tone: "Do you think everyone has no conscience with that girl Jiang Ni?! Leave as soon as you say, even if you raise a dog, you will develop feelings." Already!"
Xu Fengnian sighed and said, "Sister, this is too much."
Xu Zhihu let out a heavy breath, and said indignantly: "It's not easy for her, she has to carry the whole of Xichu on such a small shoulder. After all, Cao Changqing is not a thing. If you want to say that she has been in the palace three times these years He looks very heroic, but in the end he still has to take a little girl like Jiang Ni as the top of the vat, she really will lose her fame for the rest of her life!"
Xu Fengnian got up and said, "I'll go for a walk."
Xu Zhihu worried, "Are you okay?"
Xu Fengnian made a pig's face, and Xu Zhihu let him go.
The blue bird didn't follow, Xu Fengnian walked to the gate of the courtyard alone, retracted his feet, and walked back to a wing room in the courtyard, it was elegant and clean, and there was a large bookcase in the corner of the room, Xu Fengnian saw a dozen copper coins scattered on the table , After sitting down, pick up one by one and hold it in the palm of your hand. Back then she walked into Beiliang Prince's Mansion alone, and today she walked out of the courtyard without anything. Xu Fengnian stacked the copper coins on the table, his chin rested on the table, and was dazed in a daze. When he noticed that his chin was a little wet, he suddenly came to his senses, gave a wry smile, and then his eyes became firm. , went to the stable to lead the horse, and rode out alone.
On the official road, he caught up with the carriage driven by Cao Changqing who was the groom himself.
Cao Changqing stopped the carriage slowly, and did not deliberately embarrass this disrespectful His Royal Highness again.
It is enough sincerity to come alone.
Cao Changqing could even kill His Majesty the Emperor, how could he really care about a word
If he hadn't been shocked to find out the truth, Cao Guanzi could have ended his official life slowly, so that he wouldn't be in the worst scenario where both sides seem to be in peace, but they are both in danger.
Cao Guanzi may not care about the eyes of the whole world, but he does not want Princess Taiping to bear grudges.
Xu Fengnian waited for Jiang Ni to raise the curtain and poked his head out, and sent out the sword box containing the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow, and said lightly, "For you."
Her eyes were distracted, she didn't reach out her hand, she was about to put down the curtain, and she didn't even look at the red sandalwood sword box.
Xu Fengnian bent down and placed it behind Cao Changqing, in front of her eyes.
There was also a string of copper coins on the sword box, His Royal Highness said with a smile: "I really don't have the habit of carrying silver with me, I owe the rest of the copper coins first, when will I be so poor that I can't open the pot, come to Beiliang to find my son, and take care of it. Revenge is revenge, two different things."
The little clay figurine stared blankly at the copper coins on the sword box, his eyes lit up.
Although Cao Changqing with frosty temples turned his back on the two of them, he still sighed softly.
Xu Fengnian took a deep look at Princess Taiping who couldn't wipe off the tears, and said jokingly: "It's time to say goodbye. With Uncle Qizhao by your side, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone to bully you in the future. Why don't you laugh?"
Jiang Ni stared subconsciously, but she couldn't get angry or laugh.
Xu Fengnian straightened up on the horse's back, without further hesitation, turned the horse's head, rode the horse and walked slowly, the horse took a few steps, His Royal Highness pulled the rein, stopped the horse and said in a deep voice: "Cao Changqing!"
Guanzi Cao in Tsing Yi didn't need Xu Fengnian to speak, he calmly said: "Zhao Gou is nothing, before the princess was not here, Cao Changqing let them jump around, this trip, let them die."
Xu Fengnian said no more, and galloped away on his horse.
Jiang Ni sat back in the carriage with the sword box in her hands, and quietly put a copper coin that was tightly clutched in the palm of her hand, which was stained with sweat, with the dozen or so coins.
Cao Changqing murmured: "This kid is grand."
