Xuanyuan Qingfeng handed over a famous wooden thorn made from the heart of a thousand-year-old laurel tree in Huishan, and was then taken into the Northern Liang Palace by the steward. He came to the corridors and buildings, and finally came to the pavilion halfway up the mountain to Tingchao Lake. With hair like frost, she casually tied a red rope into a knot, sitting on the fence near the water, leaning against the golden lacquered pillar, playing with the famous thorn that Xuanyuan Qingfeng handed over to the palace. Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood on the lotus stone pier embedded in the water outside the gazebo, walking all the way, with mixed feelings, when Wuzhou Lantern Festival was admiring the lanterns, this handsome young man stayed with a rogue, after the dispute, he was caught by her At that time, Xuanyuan Qingfeng only regarded him as a boring man with no prospects in a shabby household, with no knowledge and no hope of imperial examination, so he could only deceive Xiaojiabiyu who had some vases by his appearance. Thinking of that farce, he only guessed that his mother must be a great beauty who gave birth to such a good-looking son. How did he know that when he reunited in Huishan, he transformed into the notorious son of Beiliang, leading a hundred soldiers into the dragon and tiger. It can be said that because of him, the master of Guniu Dagang was able to be replaced by her. It's just that Xuanyuan Qingfeng has never been able to link him with the man who is going to be the hereditary king of Beiliang. It wasn't until she stepped into Qingliangshan Prince's Mansion that she gradually had a clear outline. The second king with a different surname in the Yang Dynasty.
Xu Fengnian stroked the famous thorn cut from the heart of osmanthus in his hand, and smiled at the woman who had come all the way from Jianzhou to the northwest of the dynasty. There are many thousand-year-old osmanthus on Mount Zhaoyao, but they have gradually died in the past century. The last Tang osmanthus is no exception, and the osmanthus wine in Huishan has become a swan song. Xu Fengnian waved his hand and asked softly, "Apart from more than a hundred secret books, have you brought osmanthus wine?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked into the gazebo, took a seat farthest from him and sat down, without looking sideways, he said flatly: "There is not much left in Huishan, but if the prince wants to drink, I will bring you an altar next time."
Xu Fengnian put the famous thorn on his knee, with an unconcealable tired look on his face, he closed his eyes and rested his mind, not to mention the way of hospitality. Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't have any resentment or complaints. In her opinion, as long as he is the eldest son of Rentu, he has the right to be arrogant. She asked calmly: "I've always heard that the Beiliang Palace's security is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and they took the assassins in the Jianghu as fat fish. Why is Your Highness willing to let me enter the pavilion without fear that I'm also an assassin?"
Xu Fengnian snapped his fingers, jumped out of Tingchao Lake in a red robe, jumped over the roof of the pavilion, fell into the lake, and disappeared in a flash. The scene is beautiful, like a red carp jumping over the dragon gate.
In addition to the red-robed ghosts who like to stay in the lake "surfacing", there is a maid tray from the house slowly coming in the distance, containing bait for viewing, Xu Fengnian waved his hand, signaling to hand it over to Xuanyuan Qingfeng.
Xu Fengnian opened his eyes, sat back on the satin-padded bench, and said, "I've heard about the movement in Huishan. But even if your realm is advancing by leaps and bounds, if I let you sit shoulder to shoulder, you want to kill me , it’s not easy.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered and said, "Beiliang Palace really does not lack masters."
Xu Fengnian glanced at Youzai Youzai, who was playing in the water of Chaohu Lake, and said with a smile: "This master of the celestial phenomena realm, I traded my life and luck, and you get what you pay for. Xuanyuan Qingfeng , stop being sarcastic."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't throw any bait into the lake, and said expressionlessly, "Don't dare."
Xu Fengnian didn't care about this kind of thing, and asked: "With a hundred secret books that are icing on the cake, you just want me to support you as the leader of the southern rivers and lakes. Are you a little greedy? You are not my wife, why do I lose money like this?" business?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng grabbed a handful of bait from the broken-branched peony plate with turquoise glaze all over the body, and was not in a hurry to throw it into the lake to enjoy the world-famous tumbling scene of thousands of carp, and said slowly: "I can send charcoal in the snow."
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said: "There are many people in Huishan who are eager for success and rich in real talent and learning. Hong Piao is one of them. These gangsters are not lacking in skill and ambition, but only in ways. As long as Beiliang dares to accept , Lured with enough bait, they are willing to take the bait, but Xuanyuan Qingfeng has to agree on one thing, they enter Beiliang and they ask for officials and money, but they will not be willing to risk their lives. If you want them to enter the Beiliang army, go They are absolutely unwilling to fight on the border, but as a lieutenant who is a sixth- or seventh-rank official in Beiliang, as long as he is an official, it doesn't matter if he is an official or a casual official, it is enough for them to do things for you."
Xu Fengnian sneered: "Xuanyuan Qingfeng, your official hat is a Chinese cabbage on a roadside stall?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng dropped a handful of bait into the lake, and said flatly: "The fact that Chen Zhibao entered Shu to become the king is well known to all women and children in the world. Most of the confidantes of this soldier saint also resigned and went to Shu, and there are a large number of generals of the sixth and seventh ranks who are ready to move." , when the time comes, who will you give these newly vacated seats? It's better to give them favors. The characters I give you are all young but long-established first-class players in the rivers and lakes. You only need to give them one or two Even though I, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, have never been an official, I still know a little about the art of manipulating people. Once the emperor and the courtiers, if you want to be the king of Beiliang, you need some people of your own. Fish and dragons are mixed together."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Your little knowledge, that is, the art of controlling people with a little superficial knowledge, can't be called the art of controlling people. It's the same as controlling swords and controlling swords."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't refute, just poured the whole plate of bait into the lake with a cold face, and the koi splashed into the water, making a lot of noise.
Xu Fengnian waited for the lake to return to calm, and then he said helplessly: "When will you change your bad temper? Back then when Wen Hua and I met you, even though we couldn't control our mouths and teased us, there was a mistake first, but there is A few ladies who are so fussy about you are now the head of the Huishan Patriarch and want to dominate the Jianghu. With your poor energy-raising skills, even if you become the most top-notch martial arts master, you are doomed to be lonely , who is not good for me to cultivate, but I support you? It is destined to waste money and energy. It is true that we do not know each other, but when we sit down to do business, we must have the rules of doing business."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stared at Xu Fengnian, and said indifferently: "Xu Fengnian, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
Xu Fengnian, who hadn't rested much after arriving at the palace, leaned against the pillar again, and said softly: "I only talk to you about these unflattering things when I'm half a friend. I don't want to listen."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered, "Can you and I open the skylight and speak honestly?"
Xu Fengnian clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, since I have something to ask for this trip, I will tell you straight to the point. I have a friend who has been fighting Han Diao Temple in the Western Regions for some time. I have also sent some dead men to help, but the effect is not great. Now that your cultivation base has skyrocketed, why don't you go warm up your hands? Just treat it as a dangerous martial arts training. By the way, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, do you have a crush on him? If not, it’s just right, my friend is the number one beauty in the world, named Nangong Pushe, and Chen Yu, who ranks second, has a four-character comment on the rouge list that is ‘not to lose to Nangong’, that’s Nangong. I’m used to calling her He has a white fox face, but remember, don’t call him that, you will be beaten. Assassinating Han Diaosi, the leader of the world, is also your vote of honor for us in Beiliang. Only when there is no way out can I trust you for a long time. The Patriarch of Huishan who is thousands of miles away."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered and said, "This is your art of manipulating people? It's really not the slightest bit of proficiency."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "I'm just like you, I can only control people, and I'm a newborn calf in the 'official world'."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng glanced at the prince's bald head like snow, smiled, and asked, "Xu Fengnian, what's going on?"
Xu Fengnian stroked his hair, and said flatly: "To put it nicely now, it's a pseudo-mysterious realm. To put it bluntly, the fall has been a mess. You can see that even if I'm cured, my internal strength cultivation is even at the second-rank realm. It’s gone. But it’s true that in the blink of an eye, I can already use the false celestial phenomena to control the sword. So you don’t have to pity me, if you want to pity me, you have to wait until you really enter the Zhixuan of Consummation.”
This girl has such a bad temper, she didn't even bother to hide her gloating, she laughed loudly: "It's a fake finger Xuan and a fake celestial phenomenon, so it just sounds like a scare. Xu Fengnian, don't you think you've survived all your life?" Is it the Vajra Realm? I really want to feel sorry for you!"
Xu Fengnian looked at this smiling face and laughed, "I just said, you look better when you are smiling."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't deliberately strain his smiling face, and laughed wantonly, "I'm really happy to see you so miserable."
Xu Fengnian threw the famous thorn back to Xuanyuan Qingfeng, "Although we are not familiar with each other, we are not unfamiliar with the point where we need to hand in the famous thorn when we come to my house as a guest. When you come here again, don't say you don't need to go through the gate, you can go over the wall and enter. As long as it is from the Western Region The good news I want comes, and I promise you that Huishan will not be short of money or people."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng took the famous thorn and put it on the blue and white plate, suddenly restrained his smile, and asked solemnly: "Xu Fengnian, are you a man who speaks kindly when he is about to die?"
Xu Fengnian laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, can't you say something nice that doesn't hurt people?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said: "When do you want me to go to the Western Regions to kill Han Diao Temple?"
Xu Fengnian stood up and waved towards the shore. Immediately, a young man with a huge iron-tired bow came running.
Xu Fengnian pointed to the young dead man Wu who was brought back from Beimang to the palace, and smiled at Xuanyuan Qingfeng: "This kid is nicknamed 'Dian Yi'. He took you out of Beiliang, and there will be someone from the Western Regions to take care of you."
The strong young man said softly: "Young master, next time you introduce me to others, can you stop talking about it, my name is Wu."
Xu Fengnian slapped him on the head, "You little two hundred and five, don't you always say that you want to be the most outstanding soldier, and you sign up for yourself when you meet people, don't you feel ashamed?"
The boy froze for a moment, scratched his head and grinned, "That's right."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Go, take an aunt to the Western Regions."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng took a deep breath silently.
The young man said yes, turned around and left, peeking at the woman next to him from time to time, aunt? How old must that be? Almost thirty? Dare to maintain well
Xu Fengnian said behind Xuanyuan Qingfeng: "I will arrange Hong Piao's whereabouts."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng turned his head and said with a smile, "Nephew is so good."
Xu Fengnian laughed it off, she is really a girl who does not want to suffer.
After laughing, Xu Fengnian walked to the courtyard where the second sister Xu Weixiong was. The smell of the medicine filled her nose and sat down on the bed, but she was still unconscious.
These days, except for sloppy cleaning and changing into clean attire, Xu Fengnian has been staying in this room without closing his eyes, and the color has gradually faded to reveal his white hair. He thinks it is troublesome to dye, so he let Qingniao just wash up and give up. .
Xu Fengnian gently held her hand, and the room was silent.
The fire is big and smokeless, the water is smooth and silent, and the people who suffer the most are speechless.
