Knowing that Li Hanlin, the leader of the upstream crossbowman, had returned from the border after he had made great achievements at the border. Since he was not in the palace, this kid might be in the brand-new mansion of the Economic and Strategic Envoy in Lingzhou. Xu Fengnian made a detour and entered Biliangzhou In the romantic Lingzhou, every time Li Hanlin used to be the host on his own land, entertaining their friends who grew up together, Xu Fengnian was never disappointed. Xu Fengnian still remembers that besides Yan Chiji, the old-fashioned nerd, Kong Wuchi handed over here for the first time. The oiran gave a very strong big red envelope afterwards, Kong Wuchi blushed in embarrassment, and was so moved that he almost wanted to marry the happy woman who only knew some ways of the world, and Li Hanlin tried to tell this stupid cow not to do stupid things.
Xu Fengnian's hair was dyed black by the blue bird, and he rode a horse.
When Xu Fengnian first entered Beimang, how he cared about post road beacons and farming and nomadism, Xu Beizhi did the same thing. He just sighed: "Compared to Beimang, Beiliang is still too small. If the territory is bigger, for example, it will be faster than thunder." Annexing the two places of Western Shu and Nanzhao in a deceitful manner... "
Xu Beizhi didn't continue talking.
After Xu Fengnian and his younger brother Huang Man'er reunited, they never talked much. The two brothers still get together more and more often these years. Such steamy words, if he meets Li Hanlin, Xu Fengnian can guarantee that his first sentence will be "Brother Feng, Huqiu Tower, let's go!" Huang Man'er has obviously grown up a lot, and his smile has gradually faded , the more silence there was, the occasional hint of firmness between the brows. Strange to say, Huang Man'er has not been close to their second sister Xu Weixiong since she was a child. She is probably a very intelligent person with more hearts, and a foolish one with less hearts. Xu Zhihu is only relatively close to each other. Since childhood, he has only had a tacit understanding with his elder brother Xu Fengnian. He is not afraid of the sky, the earth, his father, or his father, but he is afraid that this elder brother will not take him to play.
This time Huang Man'er descended from Longhu Mountain, he knew that he would go to Shangyin Academy to visit his second sister first, and even gave his beloved Hu Kui to Xu Weixiong, which surprised Xu Fengnian.
Before arriving in the city of Lingzhou, I learned from the chats of the people in the tea shop and tavern that Li Hanlin and Li Dahao had changed his mind after being trampled by war horses. He really made a lot of military achievements on the border. Even once, he didn't go to the brothel, and didn't stay at home for a few days, so he went to another place with several soldiers. This made the frightened common people in Lingzhou lament that they can't understand the world. At the beginning, the four sons of Beiliang, except His Royal Highness, were still cynical. Guang Lanting resigned from office and became a noble Huangmen Lang, of course only Xiaohuangmen, the Big Huangmen has its own Xiaohuangmen with sufficient qualifications to replace Jin Lanting. Kong Wuchi joined the Imperial Forest Army, and now even Li Hanlin, who was so pampered by the Jinglue envoy, has great prospects. The great son to be our King of Beiliang
Since Li Hanlin was not at home, Xu Fengnian would not go to the mansion to bother Mr. Li, who was promoted to the second rank, but there was also Li Chengzhen who disdained him even with cold eyebrows. boring.
The Yulong Gang is in Lingzhou, not far away, but Xu Fengnian doesn't have the leisure to flaunt his status.
Beiliang obviously has a lot of travel-worn monks from other places, most of whom can only live in small temples, and there are many begging for alms bowls.
Xu Fengnian and his party walked along the spacious post road leading to the capital of Beiliang, walking in a hurry. Xu Fengnian diverted from the post road on the border between the two states for more than ten miles, and stopped at a well-known stopping horse temple.
The reason for the monastery's weird and uncommon name is that someone in the market said that when the Xu family entered Beiliang, Xu Xiao and the princess stopped their horses and went to the temple to burn incense.
Today is not the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, and it is an unpleasant noon time, the sun is scorching, but it seems that there are more monks than pilgrims.
The buildings of Tingma Temple are towering into the sky, with scattered eaves and teeth, and the tinkling of iron horses can be heard when the wind blows.
Before entering the temple, Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Xu Beizhi shook his head and said: "Most of the monks in the temple are actually idiots who claim to see through the world of mortals, and they are far from seeing through. Especially in this kind of big temple where incense is still at its peak, there are few real virtuous monks. I don't believe in Buddhism. But I don’t believe it either. I remember that the "Agam Sutra" said that there was a venerable for eighty years and never saw a woman. I have also been to the Buddhist caves outside Dunhuang City, and I saw paintings on the walls that cut flesh to feed tigers and gave up their lives to feed eagles, etc. Many images of Buddha Jataka, for me, are really unattainable realms. I have also been to the Taoist temple outside the Tianmen Gate of Daodezong to read scriptures, and I didn’t have too many ups and downs. My grandfather said that the old monk’s mouth is full of The taste of wine talks about Buddhism, young prostitutes earn money to buy Huang Ting, children steal rouge to paint their faces, this kind of informality is valuable. Among the three religions, Confucianism has relatively few rules and regulations, and I think it suits me better."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Then can you go in and burn incense?"
Xu Beizhi said flatly, "It doesn't prevent me from burning incense and worshiping Buddha."
After entering, Xu Beizhi stayed away from Xu Fengnian and the others, holding incense and worshiping everywhere.
When he lowered his head, the scholar had a sad expression on his face.
Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, and ordinary people are afraid of consequences.
After leaving the temple, Xu Fengnian saw dozens of pilgrims gathered pointing and whispering. He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he was pulled by the sleeves of the blue bird, only to find a familiar slender figure standing next to the tea stall beside her. Standing was a slender figure who could be called Yushu Linfeng, a scholar in green clothes, but he couldn't see his face clearly. According to legend, praying for marriage at Tingma Temple is very efficacious. Most of the people who come here are young men and women who have never been married. During the spring season, there is a lot of people and incense. Xu Fengnian just paused for a while, and learned from the pilgrims watching that when the scholar was buying water, he handed a book to an elderly man, saying that Mr. Guan had a rare bone, and he wanted to sell it to him at a low price for three taels of silver. . Originally, this kind of blackmail trick used by local idlers, hired an old man, half cheated and half cheated for money, as long as he gave a little copper money, he would deal with it as a bankruptcy and disaster relief, those rascals did not dare to make trouble It's too big, and the appetite is small. It is estimated that this scholar is lofty, with both arrogance and arrogance. Not only did he say something that made the broken skin unable to get off the table, it was nothing more than a report to the official, and he threw the broken secret book. , This annoyed a group of nearby local snakes who were waiting to collect money. They rushed up and rolled up their sleeves to beat people. In Xu Fengnian's eyes, it has come to the most exciting stage for the theatergoers. Well, when the scoundrels saw a young scholar with a flowery girl next to him, their mouths became dirty. That scholar is indeed a proud scholar, and they all said that he was a scholar who was useless, but this handsome scholar actually took the initiative to attack. , directly punched a burly man on the bridge of the nose, and then he was doomed to suffer a catastrophe. He was beaten and kicked by more than a dozen people. If it wasn't for the woman lying on the ground to protect him, I'm afraid he would have to lie down on the bed for a while. Days to walk.
I don't know if it's because they are afraid that they will be prosecuted by the government office. After the rogues beat them up, they swear and swear.
Xu Fengnian had seen enough excitement, laughed it off, and said softly, "Let's go."
Xu Beizhi frowned and said, "Is this gang of idlers so rampant?"
Xu Fengnian held back his smile and said, "Where can an idler be a good person? Does he not bully the weak, fear the hard, or bully the male and female? But you really didn't see it?"
Xu Beizhi understood everything, and laughed at himself: "Understood. The rascals who begged for money didn't take away their wallets after they did it, and none of them took advantage of it. Taking the opportunity to touch that girl a few times is unreasonable. This is the scholar and the scoundrel. What did you do together?"
After getting on the horse, Xu Fengnian said: "I got tired of this trick when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. I remember playing it with a famous lady in Liangzhou at first, but she saw through it at a glance, just didn't tell the truth. Of course not. Like this great lady, she cried until her heart was broken, and she wished she could give her body."
Xu Beizhi shook his head helplessly.
Xu Fengnian said flatly: "However, what you can't believe is that that girl is the daughter of Li Gongde, the envoy of Beiliang Jinglue. The scholar, this time he made a lot of money, and he didn't spend ten taels of silver. The article is still useful."
Xu Beizhi turned around and glanced at the woman who helped the scholar get up. It wasn't pear blossoms with rain. Xu Beizhi smiled softly, "You won't expose it? Aren't you familiar with Li Hanlin? You have known her for many years."
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself and said, "That's a lot of damage to Yin and virtue, and forcibly separated a pair of talented scholars and beautiful women in front of the Bodhisattva."
Xu Beizhi came to Qingniao on horseback, opened his mouth to ask for a few banknotes, seeing that his young master had curious eyes, Qingniao didn't intend to refuse, so he handed Xu Beizhi a stack of banknotes, Xu Beizhi galloped away, and intercepted the banknotes in the distance. Help Poppy, give the banknote, and say a few words.
Then the scholar really got a solid beating.
Xu Fengnian and Xu Beizhi drove side by side, and asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Beizhi smiled and said, "I said that I am Li Hanlin's helper. Mr. Li has long disliked that kid, so he wants me to come forward and ask all the good guys to help."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "This statement is really watertight. The scoundrels have no worries about beating up. Even if the scholar has some official status by relying on the Li family's chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven, he would not dare to call for injustice after knowing your statement. He took out the money and asked someone to really beat him. It's too aggrieved for myself. Are you hurting or not?"
Bluebird smiled knowingly.
Xu Beizhi said plainly: "Since ancient times, scholars have been the best at killing scholars."
After galloping out for a while, Xu Beizhi suddenly felt regretful, and asked, "Give them more than three hundred taels of silver, is it too much?"
Xu Fengnian laughed loudly, and pointed at this scholar with a bad belly far better than that dear friend with a horsewhip, and he really began to appreciate Xu Beizhi.
