At first, the restaurant was a little jealous of the man with the saber, but when he got up, he was so angry that he wanted to make someone look good, just beside the woman who was so stupid holding a pipa and storyteller, he was naturally regarded as a hero who wanted to save the beauty The embroidered pillows that don't have the strength to draw their swords to help, such a cowardly rich kid is rare in Beiliang. Come to the restaurant to drink and eat meat and listen to people's stories. Besides, they are the soldiers in the city who are responsible for monitoring whether the general's grandson violates the law and discipline. Ten whips and then thrown into the prison, there is no way to get yourself out without two or three hundred taels of silver. Eryu, holding a pipa in her arms, looked up at the young man with slack eyes. Although his appearance had changed, she was sure that he was him. The young man who traveled to Beimang and sat at the same table with her grandfather, after some time, claimed to be the king of Beiliang He seemed to wake up, his lifeless eyes returned to brilliance, and he turned his back to her. Xu Fengnian said calmly to Xu Yanbing who showed a relieved expression: "Keep the gate, Huangfuping will be there soon."
The woman with the black hair curled up, summoned the six Dharma images, but still failed to stop the heaven and man from traveling far away, her face was strange, as if she met this man for the first time. Xu Yanbing hesitated to speak, but finally remained silent. He walked to the door of the restaurant, closed his eyes and concentrated on it. Some drinkers sensed that the situation was not good and wanted to rub their feet with oil, but before they could get close to the door, they were knocked out. Xu Fengnian walked slowly to those tables of soldiers who had stood up one after another, held down a Beiliang knife from his waist and put it on the table with his fingers, the Youzhou Ranger, who was supposed to control the family in the city, made No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't take away the saber. A dozen or so soldiers were headed by a burly lieutenant. He had good eyesight and knew that he had encountered something difficult, but he didn't deliberately show weakness. He said in a deep voice: " This son, this captain, Huang Yi, was born in the Huang family of Yihe County, you can make up your own mind. You and I will each make a compromise today, and this captain can still treat you as a brother. When you leave this restaurant, you can drink in Yihe County again. Guaranteed that you don't need to spend a copper coin."
Xu Fengnian said expressionlessly: "You can tell Huangfuping about this later."
The captain from Yihe County was shocked, and was about to speak, when he heard a rush of horseshoes outside the restaurant, listening to horses to know soldiers, this is what an old soldier should have, this captain Although the style is domineering, the martial arts in battle are not sloppy. Even if the Youzhou soldiers are inferior to the frontier soldiers, they are still infinitely stronger than the Lingzhou soldiers. Du Wei gritted his teeth, and said with a gloomy sneer: "General Youzhou is an official, but my father followed General Yan in the South and North for many years, but Huang Fuping is not someone who can be provoked if he wants to!"
Xu Yanbing allowed Huangfu Ping, who was wearing a general's official uniform but no armor, to stride into the building. When he saw the Northern Liang feudal king for the second time today, he kowtowed and kowtowed without saying a word.
Xu Fengnian brought up the ordinary Beiliang knife, ignored the appalled drinkers, walked up to Huangfuping, and asked, "I just want to ask you, do you know about the restaurant?"
Huangfu Ping lay on the ground, tremblingly said: "The official residence is only three and a half blocks away from here, I will hear about it at the end! It's just that the end general is the general of Youzhou, he only dares to manage the military affairs of a state, and dare not cross the border to meddle in the government affairs of a state."
Xu Fengnian smiled, "He's really a competent general who abides by his duty. It's hard for me not to worry about entrusting Youzhou military power to you."
The majestic general of the third rank and the real power of Youzhou, who can no longer have real power, is so arrogant and dare not take a breath, lying on his stomach. Xu Fengnian stretched out his foot, and directly stepped on Huangfu Ping's head, which was already close to the cold ground, and there was a bang, and nearby spectators could see blood dripping from the ground touched by General Youzhou's face, but this once The general who appeared on stage at the Hulukou Grand Parade in early spring remained motionless. Xu Fengnian looked at the back of Huangfuping's head indifferently, and said to himself: "I have given you authority, since you dare not offend anyone, I will do it myself."
Xu Fengnian suddenly stretched out his arm, and before he could meet Huang Yi, the captain of the King of Beiliang, his robust body was involuntarily pulled forward and he staggered forward. The headless corpses that fluttered, those soldiers who knew how foolish they had met the King of Xinliang, would not dare to kill them even if they drew their swords. The King of Beiliang in Zhouzhou City is said to be a master who personally slaughtered the fifth raccoon dog in Tibing Mountain? Their family backgrounds were not as good as Captain Huang Yi's, and they didn't have any life-saving talismans, so they had to kneel down to forgive their sins and beg for mercy. Xu Fengnian raised the Beiliang Sword, the blade was as bright as a mirror. Although it had not been replaced with the newly released sixth-generation Liangdao nicknamed "Great-grandson", it was still the well-deserved No. 1 sharp sword in the world. With Xu Fengnian's After wiping with two fingers, the heads of those kneeling ranger soldiers fell to the ground one by one, including the captain Huang Yi who was the first to suffer, sixteen people died completely. Xu Fengnian put the saber in his hand back into its sheath, and threw it beside Huangfuping, and said to Xu Yanbing, "Call in Yuezhou Deputy General Le Dian."
A young and strong general walked into the restaurant quickly, and knelt near the Huangfu Ping, not daring to look at the scene of corpses being dismembered on the ground, let alone the crowd of drinkers kneeling in the dark, and only listened to the King of Beiliang's understatement. The next sentence is, "Everyone in the building, their family property has been confiscated, as long as they have an official position, they will be dragged out and killed immediately. You send someone to hang the dead horses on the ground on the screen wall of General Youzhou's mansion. When you go out, this king will sit on the general's mansion, and anyone who wants to see me, whether it's collecting the body or begging for mercy, will not be stopped by the gate of the general's mansion."
Xu Fengnian walked over and took Eryu's hand and walked out of the restaurant. The woman was holding a pipa in her arms, and she was speechless.
Sitting in the carriage, he drove slowly towards the Youzhou general's mansion. Xu Fengnian sat upright, did not look at the woman, but said softly: "It's not worth it to tell a story for me. I just went out of my body and wanted to know about your grandchildren. Two people, one with life, one with a woman's chastity, still have to speak for Beiliang, whether it's worth it or not, I went to many places, the answer was no, until the last place, I met a family who didn't know what The general trend of the world only knows the hard-working people in Beiliang, so they feel that many things are not worthy or not. I have already let you down, so I can't let go to those good people. Eryu, I dare not expect you to talk to me Ask for something in return, so that I can feel at ease. I just want to assure you and your dead grandfather that I will definitely stick to the border. As long as I live for one day, people in Beiliang like you will have one more day of peace, one more day That's fine too."
The miserable woman with no complaints or resentment, smiled sweetly, raised her head, looked at his side face, and was about to call out to be the king of Beiliang, but she stopped immediately, shook her head and said softly: "Mr. Xu, you don't owe us anything!" .My grandfather said that you are a good person, and I also think so. Eryu believes that Grandpa Quanxia knows, and he will not feel any regrets. I will not go to the General's Mansion, let me get off?"
Xu Fengnian turned to look at the girl. Her smile was very clean, her eyes were clear, she covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Mr. Xu forgot? Eryu can only tell stories."
The carriage stopped, and the girl jumped out of the carriage, walked for a while, turned around, embraced the pipa, and slightly bent her knees toward the carriage to cast a blessing.
Haha, who had been jumping on the nearby roof, squatted down on the tiles, carrying the withered sunflower pole that did not want to leave her body, silent.
Six-Jeweled Bodhisattva waited for the girl to go away before entering the carriage, and sat opposite the Northern Liang King. The latter put his fists on his knees and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
The fairy teacher from Mount Lantuo was not angry, but calmly said: "The freedom of oneself is a small freedom, and there is still a greater freedom to be sought."
Xu Fengnian raised his head and said with a sneer, "Go away, motherfucker!"
On this day in the Youzhou General's mansion, the general family went to collect the corpses and persuade them one after another, and then more and more corpses hung on the screen wall, half of the Yihe Huang family died in one breath, and soon outside the Yihe city A series of mutiny bombed the battalion, and the deputy general Le Dian led a thousand elite soldiers to kill him softly. In the end, he couldn't bear to raise his knife again. It was a man with a spear who was very strange to Youzhou who did it for him, and then killed him in Youzhou The two school lieutenants also almost rebelled and had to pull out their camp and rush to the city of Youzhou to demonstrate. Huangfuping's soldiers had to increase from 1,000 to 3,000. The head of the school lieutenant was hung on the wall of the main gate of Yihe City, and most of the dignitaries and dignitaries in Yihe who killed most of them would either kneel on the street outside the general's mansion to "force the palace", or escape outside the city to join in-laws and dignitaries outside the city Together, they used various methods to forcibly pressure that person. Without exception, all the dignitaries in the city were stripped of their official titles, and all their homes were confiscated and sent to the army. Even Huangfuping and Yue Dian's pro-barracks also defected. At the end of spring in the first year of Xiangfu, the top-down turmoil in Youzhou showed no sign of subsiding, because the self-righteous rebound from the military and political circles in Youzhou attracted eight thousand snow dragon riders from Liangzhou! Go deep into the hinterland of Youzhou. In addition, Wang Zhi's newly added 3,000 direct descendants from Lingzhou were dispatched to the border of Youzhou! Not to mention that Xin Yinma, the school captain of Tongmenguan who had never been out of the customs, also dispatched urgently with 6,000 elite riders. In addition, Chu Lushan, the Protector of Beiliang, personally dispatched troops and ordered Ning Emei to lead half of the iron Buddha heavy cavalry and two thousand white feather crossbow cavalry to set off in a mighty manner, stationed in the west of Youzhou, and watch over them.
If Huaihua General Zhong Hongwu was once the shadow master of most of Lingzhou, then Youzhou, from the frontier army to the garrison in the territory, was regarded as the private nursing home of General Yan Wenluan from the beginning to the end, and it is said to have 800 generals. In Youzhou, most of them are the apprentices and grandchildren of the old army leader Yan Wenluan. Their intensified resistance finally made an old man sitting in the border gate unable to sit still. In Yihe City, Youzhou, the carriage was parked outside the city, and the old man who was blind in one eye walked into the city alone. Walking on the street full of murderous aura, the old man walked all the way to the general's mansion, which was extremely bloody. The old man thought that the young lunatic would be so arrogant that he would refuse to see him, and he would even arrest him, the commander of the Northern Liang infantry, on the spot. At worst, he would hang him out for a few days and nights before letting him in, but the old man They all guessed wrong, and the young man sat alone on the steps outside the house, as if he had been waiting for him.
After Rentu's death, the veteran general who had unmatched prestige in the Northern Liang Army asked, "Xu Fengnian! Why?"
Xu Fengnian covered his sleeves with both hands, and didn't look at Yan Wenluan who wanted Xu Xiao to ascend the throne and become emperor. He looked at the end of the street and said calmly: "I heard a saying before that the surname of Lingzhou is Zhong, and the surname of Youzhou is Yan. Only Liangzhou has the surname Xu, and Xu Xiao never took it to heart. I know this, and you Yan Wenluan knows it, but Zhong Hongwu may not know it, because when Zhong Hongwu heard that the imperial court not only intended to cultivate his son Zhong Chengxin, but also gave him his son Zhong Chengxin. He is a great general, and as soon as the Western Chu Kingdom rises up, the Zhao family promises that he can lead troops for Huainan King Zhao Ying to take a share of the pie, so he started to stir up flames in Youzhou, trying to drag you into the water, so that he can take advantage of it. Fleeing from Beiliang indiscriminately. These days, I have kept falcons staring at you, but you have remained silent, and in the end, you entered Yihe City alone."
The old general said angrily: "Even if the general can never turn against Liyang all his life, I will never turn against Beiliang all his life! What kind of bastard is he, Zhong Hongwu, who can be compared with someone like Yan?! You, Xu Fengnian, are so impatient to ask for it!" I, Yan Wenluan, flee from the frontier so that your confidants can take up the position?! Do you really think that Yan Wenluan dominates the shackles of the infantry commander and is greedy for power? You Xu Fengnian really think who is this top spot? Anyone who can sit on it, and anyone can sit firmly? If I respect you, Xu Fengnian, and have the guts not to accept that bullshit imperial decree, I have finally done a right thing that has never humiliated the general. I would have led 100,000 troops to the south , When the time comes, the cavalry and infantry will split, what kind of king of Beiliang are you?! What can you use to resist the ready-to-moving Beiman cavalry?!"
Xu Fengnian smiled, "I know the old general wouldn't do that."
The old general was so annoyed that he almost wanted to do something, and slapped the cunning bastard to death.
Xu Fengnian patted the steps beside him, motioning for the old general to sit down and talk, Yan Wenluan snorted coldly, Xu Fengnian didn't insist, and continued: "My master has fought with Bi Yan'er for the rest of his life, the old general knows that my master admires you the most. What about Zhang Julu?"
Speaking of Li Yishan, Yan Wenluan's mood calmed down a bit.
In the whole world, Li Yishan is the most worthy of Northern Liang.
Even though Yan Wenluan was the backbone general of Yangcai Zhao Changling's lineage, he still did not show any disrespect to Li Yishan who did not conspire with each other only because of his different ways.
Xu Fengnian said softly: "It's not Zhang Julu that the old general imagined that made the Zhao family prosperous, nor was it his wrist that monopolizes the power of the temple, but when he made a fortune but failed to achieve great power, he put his parents' family together early. Moved to Tai'an City, and didn't give anyone a chance to criticize Zhang Julu, because the chief assistant already knew at that time that as long as he became the head of the world's officials, no matter how clean he was, he still had a family, relatives, and My son, once the two sides are separated by thousands of miles, there will always be someone who will use his name to dominate the local area. Even if everyone in the government and the opposition can only slander, they still dare not impeach in person, but Zhang Julu can support Zhang Julu to rule the world. It is inevitable that you will become weak if you have a bad temper. So this is what my master admires Zhang Julu the most. Looking back at our Beiliang, Xu Xiao, my master, I don’t really expect all of you to have Zhang Julu’s mind and vision. Before Xu Xiao died, he was worried and told me to be tolerant and to allow others to make mistakes. I used to do this. In Lingzhou officialdom, I endured it and did not kill anyone. "
Yan Wenluan's face was still gloomy, but it was a little bit prettier than before.
Xu Fengnian continued to say to himself: "But I found that Xu Xiao was not wrong, but he was not completely right. Beiliang under our feet belongs to the Xu family in name, but in the final analysis it belongs to the people of Beiliang themselves. I, Xu Fengnian, can actually I don't mind at all how lawless you are, as long as my Xu family works hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, I can feel at ease when I am the king of Beiliang, and maybe I can leave my name in the history because of it. Let’s talk about it, there may be a few good words in the unofficial history. It is said that since Lao Tzu tied his head to his belt and conquered the world, then I deserve to be in the world. I, Xu Fengnian, did not say that you should not enjoy the blessings, but you can That's right, cherishing blessings is always not a bad thing, right? Old general, you and me, or just say a word of conscience to Xu Xiao, Youzhou, Lingzhou, and Liangzhou, how many of these grandchildren are grandchildren? Ordinary people see it as a human being? I didn’t stay in Qingliangshan Prince’s Mansion behind closed doors to make sarcastic remarks, but I walked around Youzhou myself, and then I walked to Yihe City step by step. As an official, it doesn't matter if you become an official by your own ability or by relying on the merits of your parents. If you want to enjoy the blessings, you should relax and enjoy the blessings, and don't hurt others too much. It's just that you can't let go of this kind of words. I opened it to make it public. Moreover, even if I tell Zhong Hongwu this kind of thing sincerely, he will only think it is a big joke that is not funny. What can I do? He wants to die by himself, so I have no choice but to let him die, oh By the way, the person who reported on Zhong Hongwu is none other than the governor of Longqing County, his son Zhong Chengxin."
Yan Wenluan's face was cloudy and uncertain.
Xu Fengnian looked into the distance, bit his lips, "It's Huangfuping's fault if you can't manage Youzhou well, and it's your fault, old general. Of course, if you can't keep Beiliang in the future, in the final analysis, it's still my fault."
The old man hesitated for a moment, walked up the steps, and sat down on the steps a few steps below Xu Fengnian's feet.
Xu Fengnian suddenly laughed and said: "I heard from Xu Xiao that the old general dreamed of riding a horse, just like he entered the Northern Han Dynasty before, and swaggered into the Imperial Palace of Tai'an City."
The old man with his back to King Beiliang grinned silently.
Xu Feng said in a youthful voice: "I don't want to think about this old general. But a few days ago I went out of my body to travel to the Beimang Palace, and there is not much worse than Tai'an City, old general, why don't you just settle for the next best thing? Let's Trying to ride the horse there?"
Yan Wenluan turned her head and asked, "Really?"
Xu Fengnian turned around and asked with a smile: "It's just that I have this idea. As for whether I have the ability, old general, do you really think I can do it alone?"
Yan Wenluan was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and cursed: "Damn it, you have the same virtue as the general when you were young! Back then, he lied to me that as long as I hang out with him, I can ride a horse until my butt is polished. I really took the bait so foolishly..."
Yan Wenluan paused for a long time, raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured: "But the general really didn't lie to me, did he?"
The old man withdrew his gaze, stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "If there is a day, even if I, Yan Wenluan, am too old to ride a war horse, I still hope that you, King of Beiliang, can let someone carry me. , since the king of Beiliang can agree to carry the coffin for that Yuguying veteran Xu Yongguan, then you don't mind carrying Yan Wenluan's coffin once?"
Xu Fengnian got up and said calmly, "Xu Fengnian thanked Old General Yan."
The old man walked down the steps, turned around, faced Xu Fengnian, clasped his fists and shouted, "Yuguying cavalry soldier Yan Wenluan, Xu Yongguan robed Ze, see the King of Beiliang!"
The old man then turned around and went straight away, leaving Yihe, leaving Youzhou, and heading for the border.
Xu Fengnian sat back on the steps and rubbed his cheeks.
Xu Yanbing on the side said with great emotion: "At the time of the battle at Xileibi, there were only 16 people left in the Yugu Camp, and even I didn't know that Yan Wenluan was one of them."
Xu Fengnian nodded, "Xu Xiao didn't even mention it."
Xu Yanbing said: "Ma Ta Bei Mang, or count me in?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "It's not about robbing a wife, what's there to rob."
Xu Yanbing laughed it off. Sitting near the King of Beiliang, with firm eyes, he said slowly, "Don't worry, with you here, there are more than 300,000 cavalry in Beiliang."
The two were silent for a long time.
Hehe, the girl sat behind Xu Fengnian at some point, and for some reason the sunflower pole that followed him like a shadow had disappeared. She rested her chin on her hands and looked at his back quietly.
"There are millions of households in Beiliang, how many of them are covered with dry bones?"
Xu Yanbing began to clap his knees and sing.
Strong and intense.
What kind of boy doesn't envy that green shirt walking around with a sword
Which family doesn't yearn for fame and fame in the yellow sand
"Good man, don't say that the hero of the world has entered my coffin that day.
Little lady, don't hide your love and thoughts deep in your belly.
Come, come, and try to hear who is beating the beauty drum.
Come, come, let's see who is Yangjian Rentu.
Come, come, let me ask who will compete with me..."
