Zhou Qinhu didn't want to have too much interaction with Xu Qi, who was covered in clouds and mist, so he glanced at the two strands of gray hair under his red fox fur hat, and thought about making an excuse to leave. She has a woman's natural pity in her heart, all martial arts practitioners know that thinking too much will consume energy and blood, make it difficult to replenish the bone marrow, and make the temples gray when they are young. Zhou Qinhu also has self-knowledge, the martial arts she has practiced will definitely not catch his attention. While hesitating, he saw a young ranger with a flagon hanging from his waist striding forward, slapped Xu Qi on the shoulder, laughed loudly, shouted Xu Qi's name, and then turned his head to compliment her: "Miss Zhou's Huangmei sword is like thunder in the ears of Huang Quan, an anonymous disciple of Xia Chengxin Tower."
Xu Fengnian saw Zhou Qinhu looking suspiciously, and explained with a smile: "Brother Huang is a friend I met on the road to Kuaixue Mountain. He is an old man. He has taught me a lot of ways by precept and deed. He is kind and worth making friends with." .”
In fact, Huang Quan was watching the situation just now. When he saw Xu being played and applauded by those heroes, he completely lost the intention of saying hello, for fear of causing trouble to his upper body. But I didn't expect that Zhou Qinhu, who had become famous with Xu Zhan recently, would take the initiative to walk to the horse by the lake, and suddenly became a little enthusiastic. Hearing that the surname Xu said he was kind, Huang Quan accepted it without any guilt. After Zhou Qinhu heard Xu Fengnian's words, he greeted this flamboyant Jianghu knight-errant politely. Xu Fengnian picked up the reins and prepared to walk along the lake to find Lin Hongyuan, who used to hold an ivory white wat in Dragon Palace and pretended to be a ghost. In addition to the dispensable rubbing of the stele to point out Xuan, Xu Fengnian also has a new interesting secret that he wants to interview Lin Red Ape. Just don't give Xu Fengnian a chance to escape, Xu Zhan and Deng Maolin have come together, this bastard son of the Feng family in Liaodong obviously sold Xu Zhan's face, and took the initiative to ask his young beloved son to apologize to Xu Fengnian, and then said that he would board a board together. A colorful boat to watch the new round of battles on the lake in Ziyi, Huishan. Several arenas are built on the lake several miles away from the lake. You need to watch the battle by boat. The number of boats is limited. Relying on his status in the world and his family's reputation, every boat has famous prostitutes from Xiangfan City's brothels performing arts. In order to build momentum, the owner of the Kuaixue Villa, Yuchi Liangfu, has put a lot of money and thought into it. Most spectators in the rivers and lakes are not able to board a boat, so they can only rent small boats to fit in between big boats, but there is a world of difference between taking a small boat and taking a building boat, and the feeling of being inferior is not good.
On the way to the ferry to wait for the boat, through Xu Zhanyan's concise but ingenious recommendation, Xu Fengnian knew that Feng Maolin was from a wealthy family in Liaodong. There is an insurmountable thunder pool with the family, but it is not easy for most of the reckless people in the rivers and lakes. It is like being a romantic prostitute, and official prostitutes are naturally more valuable than private prostitutes. When Huang Quan and Xu Fengnian were traveling together, they knew everything about astronomy and geography, but now they were very reserved and timid, and dared not speak loudly, especially when Mao Sui hadn't finished his self-recommendation, he was interrupted by Deng Maolin and changed the subject Huang Quan didn't take it seriously, and obediently followed behind everyone's buttocks, taking advantage of the fact that the upright masters in front couldn't see him. When boarding the ship, Xu Fengnian was in a bit of trouble. He wanted to lead the horse to board the ship, but the little steward of Kuaixue Villa, who took care of all the affairs of the building ship, didn't take the Liaodong Feng family seriously at all. It's annoying to have a bad horse on a boat, not to mention how much money a seat can sell for today? This class C ship costs four hundred taels! And it’s priceless! Xu Fengnian didn't have any incidents. After everyone got on the boat, he handed over the reins of the horses to a handyman in the villa, stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, and said to him: "I am Zuo Jing from Dragon Palace, please, brother." Let me go and inform a woman named Lin Hongyuan in Dragon Palace, and tell her that I am on this C-shaped boat, and if she has time, she will wait for me at this ferry."
When the servant heard the word "Dragon Palace", he immediately looked up at the young master. Dongyue Jianchi Chuntie Thatched Cottage and Yanbao left one after another. At this moment, the Dragon Palace in the village is considered to be the top sect. Even if it is a cat or a dog, he is not something he can offend. He quietly restrained his arrogance, weighed the money, and deliberately looked embarrassed: "Mr. Zuo, the young one is a hard worker, and he may not be able to get away for a while. I'm afraid of delaying the son's important event."
Xu Fengnian smiled and handed out the second piece of silver, "Brother, please."
Never thought that the young servant was also a character with a keen eye, pushed back the second piece of silver, and said with a casual smile: "The little one took ten taels of silver from Mr. Zuo, it's one thing not to feel sorry for the money, but to think about it Take the opportunity to soak up the fairy spirit, if you want it again, it will be because of lack of people's hearts and money. Our Kuaixue Villa has strict rules. If the manager finds out, you must not interrupt the little hands and feet. You must not dare to ask for more. Mr. Zuo, don't worry, the younger one will report to you. The younger one will also drop by the stable to feed the young master's precious foal."
This is the background of the noble family. A servant is deeply influenced by his ears and eyes, and his behavior in the world is more or less leaky. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the people who were allowed to sit on the dragon chair were changed one after another, and the top ten wealthy families were always allowed to rise and fall. Seeing the young handyman leading the horse away, Xu Fengnian suddenly had a thought, such a guy who is good at drilling, who was born in poverty, will one day have a little romantic life with a lady like Yuchi Duquan? Xu Fengnian shook his head and turned back to board the boat. The double-decker colored boat retracted its ladder, broke through the quiet green lake, and slowly sailed towards the arena. Among the seven or eight colored boats in the distance, two of them had three floors. It was reckoned to be a second-class boat. Putting up sleeves, silently resisting the bone-chilling chill of the breeze blowing on the lake, Huang Quan was thick-skinned, unable to please those unapproachable couples, so he went to play with three children, the child who kicked Xu Fengnian said he wanted to ride a horse, Huang Quan went Hands and feet on the ground like a cow or a horse, being ridden on the waist by a child, with a bright smile. like a dog. Xu Fengnian used to laugh at Huang Quan's clumsy show off in his stomach, but this time he couldn't laugh alone.
Zhou Qinhu couldn't bear Xu Zhan's group's utilitarian jokes, so he came out to take a breath and stood by the railing near Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Miss Zhou has earned the name of Huang Meijian?"
At first Zhou Qinhu thought he was laughing, but when he saw his calm smile and didn't know how to answer, he didn't answer. Although she understands the ways of the world, she is unwilling to do things against her will and speak against her will, which makes people feel cold and distant. In fact, she can escort Huang Chang to Beijing, and it can be seen that she is a warm-hearted and kind-hearted woman. Xu Fengnian hid his hands in his sleeves, leaned lightly on the railing, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I always wanted to be a famous hero, the kind where women fall in love with me everywhere I go. So I often discuss with my two older sisters what nickname I should choose when I venture into the rivers and lakes. At the beginning, I wrote dozens of them densely on the paper, and I felt that they were not satisfied. They were either not majestic enough or too subtle. It’s good to be a heroine’s daughter-in-law, but I later learned that it’s not easy to be a heroine. I’ve practiced martial arts all year round, and it’s hard to be thin and tender. Not to mention, riding a horse looks so majestic, and my buttocks are covered with calluses. I have to worry about those followers who prostrate themselves under the skirt of pomegranates. In case I encounter a skilled flower picker, or a dude who specializes in heroines, it will be a headache. I remember the first time I went to the rivers and lakes, I saw a little Famous ones, with heavy makeup that can be smelled miles away, from the hairpin on the head to the rouge on the face to the bracelets on the hands, the clothes on the body to the boots on the feet, they all have backgrounds. I have to pay her one or two hundred taels of silver. Over time, I don't believe in any heroines anymore, and I feel that calling a woman a heroine is like scolding her."
Zhou Qinhu smiled sweetly.
Xu Fengnian said with emotion: "The rivers and lakes are actually very similar to the old Western Shu. Before the chaos in the world, Shu will be chaotic first, and the world will be settled in Shu. The spring river is warm, and the temple center is turbulent. It will inevitably affect the local area. Even before the dust settles in the center, the rivers and lakes There has been a lot of turmoil in the world. Those big and small gangs in the martial arts, find their in-laws early and enjoy their blessings. Those who marry late often do not have the support of the family, and most of them will suffer. Small fish and shrimp gangs, big No one was spared in the Youyan Mountain Villa of the sword-making family. I heard that the young King Jing’an in Xiangfan City intends to accept a concubine, and I don’t know how long the Kuaixue Mountain Villa can last.”
Zhou Qinhu suddenly cut to the chase and asked: "Mr. Xu, may I ask, is it related to you that Dongyue Jianchi Chuntie Thatched Cottage and Yanbao left the villa together?"
Xu Fengnian asked back: "Miss Zhou thinks highly of me so much? Why don't you just ask if I hired Emperor Zhenwu?"
Zhou Qinhu was about to speak, when Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "By the way, I am temporarily a young man from the Dragon Palace of the old Southern Tang Dynasty. My name is Zuo Jing. If anyone with good deeds asks me in the future, Miss Zhou will answer like this."
Zhou Qinhu nodded, Xu Fengnian turned around, and saw Huang Quan crawling in the distance on the outer corridor of the colorful boat, with a calm expression. Zhou Qinhu didn't see any fluctuations in his extremely beautiful eyes, not to mention the reasonable disdain and sarcasm, not even pity and sympathy. Zhou Qinhu said goodbye and walked into the cabin that was as warm as spring. Xu Fengnian lay on the railing again, bored, so he hummed softly an unknown little tune that was widely circulated in Beiliang. Don't you see fish floating tens of thousands of miles in Beiming? Don’t you see the man who rides lightly out of the cold to return the corpse, don’t you see the woman with red makeup leaning against the door to the white head...
Since Shi Shiyin was secretly escorting him, Xu Fengnian did not deliberately suppress the sleepiness that quietly appeared, and put his chin on the cuffs that were still warmed by his hands, and closed his eyes.
A small black boat quickly pierced through the calm lake mirror. A woman dressed in green and holding a white wat jumped onto the colorful boat, stood far away on the other side of the stern, with complicated eyes, and softly called out: "Young Master Zuo."
Xu Fengnian opened his eyes, turned his head without turning around, "Miss Lin Xiaogong is here, please welcome me here."
In the Kuaixue Villa, the young woman who had never appeared as Lin Hongyuan in this world, her eyes were filled with reverence from the bottom of her heart in addition to hatred when she first met her. In Lin Hongyuan's heart, Zhao Ningshen, the reincarnated talent of the first generation of Longhushan Patriarch, will definitely become the number one person in the world's orthodox system in the future, and with a combination of feathers and clothes, he is originally better than the bitter cold son of the north. Comes with weight. Lin Hongyuan is a woman who neither remembers well nor remembers beatings. It's just that when the beating is really painful, she will still have a longer memory. She was with the bastard surnamed Xu before, and every time she was tricked, she was seen through. Then The guy is even less sympathetic, and now Lin Hongyuan doesn't know whether to hate him more or be more afraid of him. Lin Hongyuan, who had changed the appearance of Zhang Longgong's female official, wanted to move, and Xu Fengnian made it clear, "I got a secret report that Yan Chi Wang Zhao Bing's eldest son is hiding in the Dragon Palace trip, so it shouldn't be that bearded man , so you really have the arrogance to let the dignified son carry the bed on your shoulders."
Lin Hongyuan suddenly turned pale.
Xu Fengnian looked at the Uppeng Xiaozhou following the colorful boat, Master Hao was an ordinary strong man, Xu Fengnian waved to him.
The young man hesitated for a moment, jumped onto the stern of the boat, and after he stopped covering up, he suddenly became heroic and domineering.
He waved to Lin Hongyuan, making the woman who was hesitant to speak fall silent.
In such a vast southern border, Nalan Youci could come and go with Zhao Bing, king of Yanchi, but he had eyes for His Royal Highness, and he regarded him as a friend of the same generation.
Commenting on the emperor's sons and the sons of several great vassal kings, in terms of reputation, His Royal Highness named Zhao Zhu is even better than the eldest prince Zhao Wu. If it was a few years ago, whoever compared Zhao Zhu with Beiliang Xu Fengnian, It is tantamount to insulting His Royal Highness, the eldest son of King Yanchi.
Zhao Zhu grinned and said, "Xiao Nian, do you still remember that little beggar who wanted to learn sword from your mother in Dantong Pass back then?"
Xu Fengnian said flatly: "I don't remember."
Zhao Zhu looked resentful towards his wife, squatting on the ground, biting his fingers, and sighed.
Lin Hongyuan was dumbfounded.
In southern Xinjiang, there was a secret word circulated in a small area, saying that the reason why Mr. Nalan was willing to stay in Yanchi Palace was because he had taken a fancy to Zhao Zhu's ambition to go north.
Zhao Zhu joined the army at the age of twelve, and since his father showed his military merits, he helped him build the first small tomb with several heads. Following Zhao Zhu's killings like hemp, the corpses of the enemies were gathered, and the mound was sealed up like a building In recent years, twenty-one Beijing temples have been built.
All the barbarians in southern Xinjiang surrendered.
Zhao Zhu's favorite thing to do is never to be arty, but to bring dozens of retinues and go south secretly, often going back and forth for a month, pulling out the hostile villages hidden in the savage places one by one, leaving nothing behind. live.
Whenever there is no banquet and event that His Royal Highness needs to attend, everyone will immediately understand that our son has slipped out to slaughter people again.
But facing Xu Fengnian at this time, Zhao Zhu didn't know why he was so gentle, courteous and frugal, he raised his head and said sadly: "Xiao Nian, you are no longer the good brother who took off his pants and compared himself to me."
Xu Fengnian scolded: "Are there any brothers who have owed money for more than ten years?"
Zhao Zhu laughed immediately, and threw a bag of copper coins at Xu Fengnian, "Give it back to you. When we parted, you said you wanted to be a hero, and you told me earnestly and earnestly that you must never become a beggar from a young beggar. But I have always kept it in my heart. I am not willing to spend a single coin of this bag of copper coins."
Xu Fengnian caught the badly mended cloth money bag, speechless.
