Xu Fengnian walked out of the village, looked back, and remembered that his master Li Yishan once mentioned all kinds of things in the market in "Sword and Gallbladder", which probably meant that he saw a few sparks in the humble house of Jilu. Thinking of this, His Royal Highness smiled. When he was young, he spent hundreds of taels of silver to buy poems, and all he bought were romantic and moaning. Looking back now, it is still Li Yishan's poems that are similar to the white porridge and vinegar cabbage in Xu Qing's house. Stomach is sweet.
Seeing that there was no one around, His Royal Highness suddenly surged with energy, and his figure was like a flying dragon stepping on snow mud, and flew towards Daomaguan. Of course, Huangfuping has real talent and learning, the key is being ruthless. Anyway, the family is ruined, and only his relatives can deny him, so he is qualified to be a chess piece that can break the game on the bright side. But it is Huangfuping's trick that really moved His Royal Highness Maybe it is because his son is simple and mellow, he will not be able to support the Huangfu family in the future, or because he feels guilty about his elder brother, he decided to let his only son die instead of his nephew Huangfu Qingfeng. The big lord of the rivers and lakes, even in the big dye tank of officialdom, can still feel like a fish in water.
A Lieutenant Guo Yi with the title of a fourth-rank general, if he says he is not big, he is not small, but if he is big, for example, General Huaihua, who holds a tiger amulet and commands half of the military power in Youzhou, may cause a violent backlash from the Youzhou military. , I’m too young, if you give a fifth-rank general, you’ll be ostracized and lonely, and no one will listen to your froth, so His Royal Highness of the Northern Liang Palace threw out a Captain Guoyi under the balance, after which Huangfu Whether Ping is a thousand-mile horse or a bad horse, donkey and mule, you can know if you take it out for a walk. Xu Xiao's face was obviously very pleased when he heard it. For Youzhou, every radish is a hole, and every position has to be fought for. But for the father and son in Beiliang Palace who have been watching coldly, whoever climbs up and who falls down is not simply an upright official position. Corrupt officials get out so black and white.
If an honest official is a mediocre official, or if a corrupt official is a capable official, which one is more beneficial to Beiliang's foundation? They all need to be calculated carefully, just like this time when Xu Fengnian stood in the position of His Royal Highness, he admired the methods of Zhou Ziru and his son more than Han Tao who saved the Fish and Dragon Gang. Under the former? If this Deputy Lieutenant Zhechong is inextricably related to the person surnamed Chen, which is beneficial to Daumaguan, but a hidden danger to the Xu family in Beiliang, how should we deal with it? Everything affects the whole body, everyone has a backing background and human relations, the whole Beiliang is entangled into a mess, how can Xu Fengnian be able to clean it up with a single blow
The sage Zhang Fuzi famously said that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. To those in power, it is actually just a beautiful and easy way to say it, which belongs to standing and shouting without back pain.
Xu Fengnian was approaching Daomaguan, so he slowed down. When he arrived at the inn, he realized that the Yulong gang had already gone to the pass, so he hurried to trot away. When he saw the gang members who had been waiting for a long time with annoyed faces, Xu Fengnian smiled apologetically. Taking the reins of the steeds in their hands, a group of people passed the pass without any surprise today. What made the Yulong Gang feel uncomfortable was that not only Zhou Ziru, who led the troops to kill last night, but also Zhou Xian, the deputy lieutenant of Zhechong, came to see him off in person. It was Han Xiaowei, who was supposed to be the biggest talisman of the Fish and Dragon Gang, missing. Xiao Qiang continued to walk side by side with Liu Nirong, observed the face of this proud disciple, glanced at Xu Fengnian behind him, and said softly: "Last night, the surname Xu privately killed the Maguan soldier, as a teacher, it seems that he was asked to go out to top the vat. Actually, I want Daomaguan to test the depth of this Lingzhou general's vassal. If you do such a big deal that you can't afford to lose, if you don't even know the other party's family background, it's not safe after all. Nirong, you need to know the hard work of being a teacher Be careful."
Liu Nirong said with a blank expression: "The leader of the second gang is serious, and Liu Nirong naturally knows this kind of thought."
Hearing the cold and alienated title of the second gang leader, Xiao Qiang's eyes showed displeasure, but seeing that she didn't let go of his little braid that was running away, he forcibly endured it. If he doesn't have this bit of concentration, how can he sit still? The second gang leader has been in the past twenty years. He, Xiao Qiang, is a grasshopper tied to the Fish and Dragon Gang. If he wants to lead his family to live a good life with ample money, he will have to deal with Liu Nirong. It is worthwhile to suffer a little anger now. It doesn't matter whether she admits to the master-student relationship or not. Xiao Qiang is very accurate in seeing people. He knows that Liu Nirong is just like the old gang leader. In the front, you can see the clues. Besides, this business is related to the rise and fall of the Yulong Gang in the next ten years, without his Xiao Qiang's help, can it be done? Just relying on Gongsun Yang's elm bump that can't beat a fart with a few sticks
Wang Dashi felt that he was lucky enough to have shared weal and woe with Mr. Xu, and today he no longer cared about the expressions of his brothers, trotting along behind Xu Fengnian's horse, and whispered embarrassingly: "Mr. Xu, I finally memorized four or five hundred words. , but after carrying it on my back, I forgot some more."
Seeing the guilt and annoyance in the young man's eyes, Xu Fengnian smiled and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, just let nature take its course. It's not good if you pay too much attention to things like endorsement. Instead, it's easy to forget. Take your time. Anyway, stay in Beimang." It will take some time to go down to the city. But before the ugly words, this formula is worthless, but it is also a relatively complete set of martial arts formulas. Remember not to be overheard, and you will not be able to wash it off even if you jump into the river. If you have the habit of talking in your sleep, I advise you to seal your mouth before going to bed."
Wang Dashi rejoiced secretly: "Fortunately, I slept to death, and I couldn't be woken up by thunder. It's just that I snored very loudly, but luckily I can't talk in sleep."
Half an hour after leaving Daomaguan, there was a roar of horseshoes behind him, which made the jittery Yulong Gang look at each other and hurriedly lined up. A burst of scalp tingling.
However, after realizing that Zhou Xiaoyan only brought two personal guards and cavalry, he felt a little relieved, it didn't look like a post-autumn settlement. After Zhou Ziru stopped his horse, he raised his arms, showing the aristocratic demeanor that the young members of the Fish and Dragon Gang envied. In front of Liu Nirong and Xiao Qiang, Zhou Ziru looked directly at Liu Nirong, smiled calmly and said, "This is Zhou's compensation for last night's misunderstanding, and I hope Ms. Liu will accept it. Guaranteed that there is no need for any roads to guide officials, and the gates of the city will be opened wide, unimpeded."
Liu Nirong's eyes were red, and she clenched the reins tightly with both hands, but in the end she forced a smile on her face, words came out from between her teeth, and said slowly, "Liu Nirong thanked Mr. Zhou on behalf of the Fish and Dragon Gang, regardless of past suspicions."
Zhou Ziru sniffled his nose, smiled with the corners of his mouth upturned, then turned around and walked away slowly.
Liu Nirong looked at those gang members who only had fear in their eyes but little hatred, her eyes were gloomy, and she said in a deep voice: "Take the box and continue on your way."
It is said that the rivers and lakes are full of grievances, but the world is unpredictable. Once they get involved with the government, there are several martial arts sects who can only lose their heads if they don't bow their heads, especially after the king of Beiliang stepped into the rivers and lakes. , established the bloody rules of Jianghu biography, even more so. In addition to the sects with aloof status like Wu Family Jianzhong Dongyue Jianchi in Longhu Mountain, all the other sects, large and small, have their household registrations recorded in the rivers and lakes. The old man who is an official is too lazy to ignore you, and he will chop you up for nonsense, and fly away again." The reckless arrogance has long since disappeared, the wind is always blown away by the rain, and the heroism is completely flattened by the iron horseshoe.
Even the top ten tycoons were tossed to pieces by Beiliang's iron cavalry. What is a rivers and lakes that are fighting each other all day long.
Wang Dashi asked softly: "Mr. Xu, what does the Northern Barbarian look like? Are his eyes like copper bells and hands like cattail fans, each of them is eight or nine feet tall, and as strong as a cow?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled and said, "That's the thing, there won't be an extra arm or a leg. After half a decade, you'll be able to see the northern barbarians all over the street, and you'll know that the girls there are just as delicate. Rou, it’s a pity that you don’t have idle money on you, otherwise you can go to the brothel in the city and find a girl to try it out, which is also considered as our Liyang Dynasty riding a horse to kill the enemy on another battlefield.”
Wang Dashi flushed with a tender face that hadn't experienced any weather, and he murmured.
Unfortunately, Liu Nirong rushed over to discuss some business with Xu Fengnian, when she heard this, she turned around and left in anger.
Going on further, there is no official road to speak of. It is just a road stepped on by merchants from the two dynasties, but it is still flat and wide enough to accommodate two horses.
The Yulong gang found a high loess slope to rest at noon, and a slightly larger team went out for a walk. It is common sense to stop high and keep low. The gangsters are condescending and there will be countless deaths and injuries if they rush down. As for the small group of people, they don't have great skills. It is meaningless to stand on the top of the mountain when they meet you, and they will be robbed of their wealth and lives. Xu Fengnian still has a reclusive temper. After the Yulong Gang suffered a blood loss in Daomaguan, they hated and disliked the culprit of the Beimang trip even more. Of course, Liu Nirong and Xiao Qiang, who had a little contact with the inside story, did not like him even more. Xu Fengnian He was also happy that no one would bother him, gnawed on a piece of crumpled dry biscuit, squatted on the edge of the slope and looked into the distance, his eyes were full of desolation, and he murmured: "If you don't go to the south of the Yangtze River, don't go to the wild."
Wang Dashi came to Xu Fengnian and squatted down, curiously asked: "Mr. Xu, I have never read a book. What do you mean?"
Xu Fengnian explained with a smile: "This is from a love novel "Snow on the Head". It said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the gentle township is a hero's tomb. Aspiring to make contributions. The desolate frontier is dilapidated and desolate. The old people are easy to feel the world, and the chest is full of sorrow. When the hero is old, he will be sad and hurt his lungs."
Wang Dashi snorted, scratched his head and said, "Mr. Xu barely understands what he said."
Xu Fengnian joked: "Miss Liu must love that book "Snow on the Head". If you have a chance, go to the restaurant and listen to the book gentlemen, and you will know a thing or two about the nature of women."
Wang Dashi almost choked on the meatloaf he was swallowing, coughed, and said with embarrassment: "I can't drink wine."
Xu Fengnian smiled, took a sip from the water bag, moistened his throat, and stopped teasing this young man who might not have the chance to go to Jiangnan in his life.
Wang Dashi was always ashamed of himself in front of Mr. Xu, so he didn't stay too long. After a while of silence, he left knowingly. A pocket dagger flew out from the middle.
Piercing his finger with the dagger, blood dripped and soaked the sword.
If it was an ordinary short sword, the blood beads would slip off, but this green two-inch long sword was like a mysterious living creature, sucking blood into the sword.
Deng Tai'a has twelve flying swords, and this one is Qingmei.
Xu Fengnian took three drops before taking back the short sword Qingmei.
Raise a sword.
If one day wants to wield a sword to kill people, then at least a thousand days must not be slack.
