The heavy snow in the south of the Yangtze River has finally gradually subsided. The two carriages drove slowly on the post road. Along the way, there were many pagoda tree willows on the side of the road that were overwhelmed and crushed by the snow. The young man with a distempered temper also gradually became less talkative. According to the geography map, the city ahead is more than 800 miles away from the capital. Everyone knows what this means. At dusk, the horse-drawn carriage stopped at one place without encountering a resting place since we set off early in the morning. It was a rather brand-new temple. In the freezing weather, there was still an endless stream of pilgrims. Everyone in the carriage wanted to I went to ask for a vegetarian meal to satisfy my hunger. After getting out of the car, the middle-aged Taoist priest with three long swords on his back suddenly smiled knowingly when he saw the plaque. The two mountains of Dragon and Tiger Wudang, regarding the dispute of the Taoist ancestral court, the latter is undoubtedly at a disadvantage. I never thought that in the south of the Yangtze River, there would be a Taoist temple to worship Emperor Zhenwu. After entering the temple and taking a seat, maybe the Taoist in the temple saw the visitors wearing the Taoist robes of Wudang Mountain, and their extraordinary bearing quickly alarmed an elderly Taoist with a high status in the Zhenwu Temple, who personally received these distinguished guests. Knowing that Wang Xiaoping, who is one of the highest generations in Wudang Mountain, came in person, it was really shocking. After that, the whole old face burst into smiles, and he said many times that he was full of glory. As well as the background of several Yuyiqings, who are self-respecting, but in the eyes of the world, the approachable Wudang Mountains, especially the few real people on the Great Lotus Peak who never go down the mountain easily, are also masters of the Tao In the style of a fairy, Wang Xiaoping traveled the rivers and lakes, holding a magic tea talisman sword and killing countless demons and ghosts all the way, which has long been widely spread in the rivers and lakes. When Xu Fengnian and his party had dinner, they chatted with the Taoist, and then they realized that this Zhenwu Temple was destroyed in the Spring and Autumn War, and was built by the local tyrants and wealthy families at the expense of tens of thousands of taels of silver. It's just that Shenwu City is widely loved by the old temple, and the parents and officials are happy to see its success, so they turn a blind eye.
After eating the vegetarian meal, the old Taoist personally led the group of outsiders to the Zhenwu Hall. The east and the west have separate halls. In the main hall, Emperor Zhenwu stepped on turtles and snakes. The walls on both sides are covered with clouds. After burning a stick of incense, he was stopped by Wang Xiaoping. The old Taoist glanced at it without thinking deeply. Xu Fengnian stood in front of the futon, thinking of the time when four siblings boarded Wudang, the eldest sister wandered around, and the second sister dragged him sneakily Sui walked around behind the statue of Zhenwu, and saw with her own eyes that she carved the small characters "sent for three thousand miles" with the dagger in her sleeve. Xu Fengnian looked up at the statue and let out a long breath. It was the first time for the old Taoist to see such a young pilgrim with gray hair. For some reason, the pilgrims were all gathered outside. At this moment, the hall was strangely silent. In his eyes, the young son was covered with frost and snow, and he was dressed in white. Against the backdrop, the main hall seemed to be in a trance It seems that the statue of Emperor Zhenwu has some inexplicable immortal aura, and the vicissitudes Taoist who has always turned his curiosity towards Wudang sword idiot Wang Xiaoping couldn't help saying in his heart that it's strange.
Xu Fengnian, Xuanyuan Qingfeng in purple clothes in Huishan, Wang Xiaoping with three swords on his back, Qingniao who quietly hides under the carriage as a shaft in a flash, young man Wu, and Liu Wenbao who is full of blood and wants to go to Beiliang to fulfill his ambitions, these six people came out In the Zhenwu Temple, which was full of incense, he walked towards the carriage and got into the carriage. Xu Fengnian suddenly said to Xuanyuan Qingfeng: "You stop here, the descendants of the Liu family who secretly moved to the capital from the south of Master Liuhao, go and kill them once. Kill as many as you can, don't be too reluctant, it's best not to reveal your identity, and don't wear purple clothes, after all, your foundation is still in Huishan, which is under the jurisdiction of Guangling Dao."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng faced each other with a cold face, and his long eyes were full of undisguised anger.
Xu Fengnian said disapprovingly: "Since you have decided not to make a move, it's better to part ways temporarily than to distract me at that time."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng asked with a sneer bluntly: "Are you resenting me for not helping you stop Han Diao Temple? Or are you afraid that I will turn around and stab you in the back?"
Xu Fengnian glanced at her indifferently, "All of them."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stared at Xu Fengnian, said three good words one after another, and left in a long way.
Xu Fengnian looked at the blue bird, and asked softly: "Is everything arranged?"
She nodded slightly. Xu Fengnian bowed his head and bent down to get into the carriage, sat cross-legged against the wall of the carriage, and went on two long trips, during which Lu Qiuer was always with him. Naturally, this dead fat man was not following behind to eat dust or to watch His Royal Highness make jokes. The Liangjiu tribe was scattered all over the place back then, and the battle of Tiemenguan was enough to see the greatness of the poisonous man Li Yishan, and more similar layouts are obviously not limited to one time and one place. The reason is that they are far away from the army, but many elites have chosen to hibernate for different purposes, and hide in the government and the public. Beiliang has completely torn off the last layer of skin with the emperor. Since Xu Fengnian will succeed in becoming the next king of Beiliang , it is time to take the initiative to pull out these chess pieces, and move closer to the barren land in Beiliang. Diao Temple alone!
A light cavalry with six hundred people.
A group of three hundred cavalry.
A mountain of grass bandits with two hundred desperadoes is the smallest in number but the strongest in combat power, because there are nearly 80 hawks and dogs that Beiliang absorbed and raised from the rivers and lakes.
Excluding the last hidden force that blocked the killing of Han Diao Temple, the emergency dispatch of the first two that violated the military law completely surfaced, caught the local people by surprise, and the state and county officials were all dumbfounded, but they did not dare to act rashly. The soldiers rushed to pass on the military information, one by one like ants on a hot pot, for fear that such a large number of elite soldiers would mutiny collectively, which would cause them to lose their official titles. In contrast, Song Tanglu, the chief eunuch in charge of internal officials in the capital city, suddenly became the seal of the chief eunuch, and Han Diaosi, the number one eunuch in the world, "died of old age" in the palace for no reason. To local officials, it was just far away The shocking news, after the huge ripples attenuated layer by layer, did not reach the fourth level of the local county, state, county, or county.
For the first time, Wang Xiaoping sat in the carriage where Xu Fengnian was, and asked, "Do you really want to fill that bottomless hole with hundreds or even thousands of lives?"
Xu Fengnian calmly said: "There is no way, I will not live in peace if Han Diaosi lives for a day, since he dares to stop me openly, of course I have to try my best to improve his memory."
Wang Xiaoping stopped talking, and his face was not very good.
Xu Fengnian put the Beiliang knife that accompanied Xu Xiao all his life in the army on his knees, and said softly: "Since I have come to this point, there is no turning back. I don't say such nonsense as not to be kind, but I really don't have the energy to get entangled with people outside Beiliang anymore, so I just come here to clean up, just like the scene outside the curtain, the vast expanse of whiteness, those who want to die, go to death, those who don't deserve to die, try to survive."
Xu Fengnian said to himself: "Xu Xiao said that unless it is absolutely necessary, Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry will never step on the Central Plains. Otherwise, if Beiliang has attached itself to Beimang and sent troops south together in the past twenty years, life will definitely be worse. You have to live well now. But to be a human being, you still need to have some bottom line. In Xu Xiao’s words, it means that a family has grievances, and it’s just a closed door. It's just a self-established family, a small courtyard, and a family that never sees each other. It doesn't matter whether there are thieves or bandits outside the door, as long as he, Xu Xiao, stands at the door for a day, there is absolutely no reason to open the door and bow to the robbers. "
Xu Fengnian smiled to himself, "At the beginning I was afraid of death, and some of them were also afraid that Xu Xiao had already gained so much infamy, and then he betrayed the Central Plains because of me, an unfilial son who couldn't afford it, and was scolded when he was old. House slaves with two surnames, if I die, I will really have no face to see my mother."
Wang Xiaoping remained speechless.
It is getting closer and closer to Shenwu City.
Six hundred horseshoes are fierce like thunder.
When Xu Fengnian got out of the carriage, the rider on the other side fell off his horse and knelt down to greet him.
Then three hundred riders and two hundred people arrived almost at the same time.
Xu Fengnian rode alone on an unmanned war horse and took the lead.
In the wind and snow, a man in black was vaguely visible, guarding the gate alone.
The next scene is terrifying.
Until this moment, Wang Xiaoping was really willing to hand out the three swords.
Han Diaosi, the tenth person in the world, stands in the way.
After seeing the white horse riding in front of him, he started colliding and galloping.
Xu Fengnian, one person and one horse, without stagnation, accelerated the horse and galloped wildly.
