In the night, Xu Fengnian walked alone to the Yellow Crane Tower on Qingliang Mountain. The white background Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door of the mansion, and the lanterns in the mansion were also all white. There was no joy or displeasure until the entire Beiliang Road learned that after the young feudal lord defeated Wudicheng Wang Xianzhi in one fell swoop, the atmosphere in Qingliangshan took another big turn, and many hanging thoughts were put down at once. Thinking and moving turned quiet, and the haze covering Beiliang Palace was swept away. After Xu Fengnian entered the mansion, he did not go to the Indus Courtyard where he spent his entire youth, but sat in the deserted and clean room of Xu Xiao for a long time. With the mottled general's armor, outsiders will think that it is reasonable for Xu Xiao to care about the latter. After all, Xu Xiao, a single-handed national thief, has reached the peak of being a minister by relying on military exploits, but few people know that Ren Tu actually cares about that A vassal king's robe is by no means sniffy as outsiders mistakenly think. Xu Fengnian is well aware of this, what Xu Xiao cares about is not the vassal status symbolized by the python robe, but the credit behind it, which is the "reconstruction of the Zhao family" that many powerful officials in the temple have deliberately forgotten. It is an alien barbarian dynasty in the north, with all the heroes rising together, the feudal towns are separated, and they can't take care of themselves. In the big country of the Central Plains including the Great Chu, who would regard this guy who has endless internal strife as a strong enemy? It was Xu Xiao, the spoiler, who went south to the two Liaos, forcibly helping the first emperor of Liyang to twist the dynasty in his hands, and there was no internal friction. This laid the foundation for the subsequent Jinglue Spring and Autumn Period. The reason for Xu Xiao's clear distinction between love and hate is that most of the elders of the clan who were close to the late emperor were in the undercurrent of the temple after the world was settled. Most of the old guys in the same line have suffered large and small injuries on the battlefield, so they died earlier than some clan relatives who lay down and enjoyed their blessings, and their descendants were mostly not the same as today's emperor and Bi Yaner who is in power. To deal with it, it is impossible to get ahead at all, and there are long-standing serious differences within the clan. This group of nominal sons and grandsons can be said to be lingering, so that this expedition to the south and west Chu has no part for them at all. A group of young Tianhuang nobles swaggered and followed several old generals to the south to gain merits. Anyway, their parents and grandparents got up by relying on this kind of trick. This is probably a family tradition, and practice makes perfect.
Xu Fengnian walked slowly on the mountain road, and then stopped on the mountainside to look at the dimly lit lights in the city of Liangzhou. One place went out, and occasionally new lights lit up elsewhere, quiet and serene.
Xu Fengnian turned around and continued to climb the mountain. During the time when he was rushing back to Beiliang, Fushuifang had been delivering concise and concise information to him. Except for Lu Shengxiang who failed to seize power and was still stranded as a minister of the Ministry of War, he was stationed at Youluguan. The mighty team headed by veteran veterans of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun, together with Youluguan, built three awls, pointing directly at Western Chu, echoing each other with Jingnan vassal kings or Zhao Zhu, and forming a powerful team for Western Chu A huge encirclement that seems to be watertight. Xu Fengnian sneered, besides the trick of killing the rooster to scare the little monkey, why didn't the emperor of the Zhao family not have the dirty idea of troubling Shuinan to lead Yanchi King? On the east side there is Guangling King Zhao Yi sitting in town, on the west side there are Huainan King Zhao Ying who is determined to die, and Jingan King Zhao Xun who has ulterior motives. Iron cavalry, in the west there is the old Xishu where Chen Zhibao ruled. Since ancient times, the road to Shu has been difficult to reach the blue sky. In the south, there is Zhao Bing, king of Yanzhi. Zhao Zhu, who has a few cavalry, and the southern border is particularly vast. Under the premise that Western Chu cannot go north, the only way to survive is to spread south. Among the several vassal kings, Zhao Yi, who really has military power, is a brother of the present day, and he is in Guangling Road, so there is no need for the one who sits on the dragon chair to make too many calculations. There are Beimang in the north and Xishu in the north, which is equivalent to already Being suppressed, only Zhao Bing was left to deal with. In the current dynasty's move to cut down the vassal, there was Xu Xiao's top tank in the past, and the court naturally paid attention to Beiliang. Now that Xu Xiao is gone, it is naturally the heaven's turn. Emperor Gao is far away from Zhao Bing. Moreover, a new secret letter from Tai'an City stated that after Zhang Julu's opinion was rejected, he decided to settle for the next best thing. They were also slyly tricked, as long as there are local stabbing forces who refuse to accept the restraint of the imperial military department, they will all be sent to the outskirts of Western Chu secretly. Gu Lu, who has planted disciples all over the world, is naturally the first to bear the brunt of the storm. Gu Lu is already on the verge of collapse, and Zhang Julu obviously still refuses to let him go. If Gu Jiantang was still in Beijing and personally presided over the military affairs of the dynasty at the Ministry of War, maybe there would be some countermeasures for this decree, but Gu Jiantang has already assumed the title of Dazhu Kingdom to lead the military affairs of the North, and Zhang Julu intentionally or unintentionally gave the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period the only remaining fruits. The great general dug a hole and spoke to him in the temple, convincingly that only Gu Jiantang himself led the troops to the south to put down the chaos in Western Chu, almost elevating the veteran Minister of the Ministry of War to the lofty position of one man governing one country. In this way, Gu Jiantang, who suffered an indiscriminate disaster, would not be able to
This is also Bi Yaner's consistent conspiracy, always serving the country and the people, without any selfishness. Zhang Julu's technique of checks and balances is pervasive, the incessant civil and military disputes, the early disputes between foreign relatives and internal eunuchs, the resurgence of party disputes in various places, and even factional disputes among cronies. Wang Xianzhi is Wu Wudi, so Zhang Julu is the more sophisticated Wen Wudi. For example, the official department, the head of the six departments, tossed and turned between Yu Lian and Zhao Youling, who had betrayed Zhang Lu, several times. Looking at the flowers outside the temple in the mist, it was like a child's play, but inside it was all Zhang Julu's unanimous decision. Things, under his nose, whoever does things beyond the limit, has to pack up and get out. If it is said that Zhao Youling is a student of Biyan'er and lacks natural confidence, one must know that Yu Jiankang, the old patriarch of Jiangxin Yu's family, is Yu Lian's father, and he is a big brother from the same school as Zhang Julu's teacher and Sun Xiji of Xichu. The masters of the world's family ranks are the instigators of Hong Jia's north run. An understatement written by the old guy can make the family jump into the dragon's gate, and a low word means that the whole family will fall into the dust together. The Jiangnan scholar group with intertwined roots, together with the Lu family including Lu Daolin and Lu Baijie, and the Longxiang General Xu Gong of the Gumu Xu family, must be the only one to look forward to. But for so many years, Zhang Julu has never sold this old man any face.
Xu Fengnian walked to the top of the mountain unknowingly. There were stone tables and benches downstairs, but he saw a guy he didn't expect. Xu Fengnian was sitting opposite him, there was a large pile of green ant jugs on the table, even the wine glasses were two, obviously waiting for him.
Bai Hu'er said with a slight sarcasm on his face: "First rank and four realms, you have collected all four false realms, there must be no one before or after. This is more admirable to me than you killing Wang Xianzhi."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "It can make you admire, it's worth it."
With an unprecedented face, Bai Hu'er poured him a glass of wine, pushed the glass, and asked, "Have you ever thought about the fact that Huang Longshi disrupted the rivers and lakes, and ended up using Han Shengxuan and you to end the official? You might as well count them, and die in the human race." The cat and the first-rank masters in your hands, do you add up to twenty? How many first-rank masters could there be in any century-old rivers and lakes in the past? It’s just this number if you die, right?”
Xu Fengnian raised his wine glass, laughed at himself, and then drank it down in one gulp. When he reached out to ask him for a drink, he shook his head and said, "I really didn't think about this."
Bai Hu'er threw him a jug directly, and said: "I promised Mr. Li that I would help you once, but you killed Wang Xianzhi on my list of enemies, which means that my Nangong servant owes you twice. But beforehand It is agreed, when I finish reading the book on the last floor of Chao Pavilion, I will go to Beimang first, and this promise will only be made if I can come back alive."
Xu Fengnian asked: "Could it be trouble for Bodhisattva Tuoba?"
The white fox nodded.
Xu Fengnian said with emotion: "Wang Xianzhi and Tuoba Bodhisattva, what an enmity. You bitch..."
Bai Hu'er interrupted with a cold face: "I'm a man!"
Xu Fengnian laughed it off, reasoning with women is not reasonable in itself. However, Bai Hu'er's face guesses that he really regards himself as a leader, or is he really a real man, but he is just a virtuous man with the indistinguishable Murong Tonghuang who has fled far away in Beimang
Bai Hu'er raised his head and took a big gulp of wine boldly, jokingly said: "If you were a woman, I would really marry you."
Xu Fengnian was speechless.
Bai Hu'er suddenly said: "I used to practice martial arts, and I always felt that there were countless heads of masters who could not kill endlessly, but now I climbed up every step of the way, and I was preempted by you, and I found that killing all over the place is meaningless. Could it be?" In the end, will I have to fight to the death with you to live up to this life?"
Xu Fengnian took a sip of his wine and said in a bad mood, "Have a little conscience, okay?"
Bai Hu'er put the wine bottle on half of his cheeks, and asked with a playful smile: "You mean the most poisonous woman's heart?"
Xu Fengnian was probably the first time to travel the rivers and lakes. The only real master he saw was this one in front of him. He still has some shadows in his heart. Even if everyone in the world can fight now, he still feels a little involuntarily apprehensive.
Xu Fengnian glanced at Bai Hu'er's face's chest, thinking that just by taking a look, with his piercing eyes trained in the flowers, even if this woman deliberately hides her charm, she probably won't be able to escape the "prosperous and peaceful" scene, right
Bai Hu'er said with a smile on his face: "Are you courting death?"
Xu Fengnian said flatly: "I didn't scare you too much. Even if I lost Gao Shulu's body, I also lost most of my energy, but it's not easy for you to kill me."
Bai Hu'er frowned, "Yo, you're really promising."
Xu Fengnian suddenly swooped back three or four feet with the wine jug, and angrily cursed: "Baihuerlian, you really turn your back on it when you say it?!"
Bai Hu'er squinted his eyes, full of murderous intent.
Xu Fengnian sighed, and beckoned to the entrance of the mountain. Wang Sheng blushed and trotted over, still obediently carrying a sword case and binding famous swords, and explained with his head bowed: "Master, I can't sleep. Just got here."
Xu Fengnian hummed, turned his head to look at Bai Hu'er's face and asked, "When will you leave the building for Beimang?"
Bai Hu'er said calmly, "It's three months at least, half a year at most."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Then bring my second apprentice, Wang Sheng."
Bai Hu'er nodded, but did not refuse.
After Xu Fengnian got the answer, he said softly, "Sleep early after going down the mountain."
The tall girl with dark skin turned and left silently.
Bai Hu'er looked at Xu Fengnian who was sitting back, and asked with a frown, "Such a good uncut jade, are you willing to be the shopkeeper?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "Staying by my side will not improve you. Martial arts practice will be useless without tempering. If you don't go back and forth a few times at the gate of hell, no matter how good your talent is, it will be useless."
Bai Hu'er was still staring at Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian said embarrassingly: "You can probably see that this girl can either learn from you and become a man with aura like a rainbow, or she can only be dissatisfied in Beiliang and become a man who can't talk about any aura, but can only be regarded as a girl. A graceful woman with an orchid breath, it’s okay for an ordinary girl to say, but it doesn’t match her Wang Sheng’s character. In fact, among the three disciples, I have the most selfishness towards her and have the highest hopes for her. It’s just that I can’t say this kind of thing, once I say it Come out, her mind is far more delicate than Lu Yunchang, the pressure will be greater, and she may be crushed directly. Wang Sheng follows you through Beiliang, and when you arrive in Beimang, you can take advantage of the unique vigor and masculinity of the frontier fortress. It is more direct and effective than any verbal teaching and browsing through cheat books.”
Xu Fengnian spun the wine glass and smiled, "The three apprentices, Yu Dilong, I will take with me, otherwise don't worry. Lu Yunchang will be thrown to the Fish and Dragon Gang for a while, and then thrown to the border. As for Wang Sheng, with you."
Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the place further north than Beiliang, and said softly: "Bei Mang, I have been there, and I know that the sky is high, the clouds are hanging down, and the ground is wide. Moreover, there is a man who practiced swords there."
Bai Hu'er looked at this man who was not yet thirty years old, staggering around the rivers and lakes with a sword in his hand, talking about it just for revenge. Next, drink horses to the north, what is the picture
Xu Fengnian slapped his forehead and ran down the mountain.
A contemptuous look appeared on Baihu'er's face, what else could this guy do when he was in a hurry to go down the mountain, Wutong Courtyard was full of Yingying and Yanyan.
It was true that Xu Fengnian went to Wutong Courtyard, but he really didn't have any dirty ideas. The two future concubines of Qingliang Mountain, who were named only under the second sister, Wang Chudong, went to an academy in Liangzhou to give lectures. Lu Chengyan has to work a lot because of the worry-free family burden, so she can only stay in Wutong Courtyard to accumulate merits for a large group of Lu's children, which seems to make up for the past. Even Xu Weixiong had mentioned earlier that Xu Fengnian must go to the yard to take a look at the poor sister-in-law who is currently unfavorable outside the mother-in-law's family. Xu Fengnian walked into the elegant and quiet courtyard where the lights were always on every night, feeling a little sentimental, thinking of the exquisite and translucent maids, green ants, and the others. Only cold intrigue and treachery. Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry to enter the house, looking around the familiar yard lit up like daylight, the smiling faces of those young women couldn't get away, and he didn't know if they had been playing here year after year, whether they were really happy.
Tonight, Lu Chengyan and a third-class maid, Xian Ge, were on duty to approve the awards. Three desks were piled up like a mountain. Pen, this pen contains deep ink but spit ink evenly, it is easy to write for a long time, and it has always been the hard pen that Xiange loves, probably because she encountered some hesitant affairs, she dared not write for a long time, dipped the tip of the pen in ink on her face Already painted ink blots of different shades of old and new, she is unconscious, like a painted cat. In addition to Xiange, there is another fresh face. Xu Fengnian knows that she is a girl carefully selected by the second sister. Her name is Junqiu. She is a newcomer to Wutongyuan. Holding the other wrist with five fingers and turning it gently, he soon saw the figure of the King of Beiliang, was shocked, and was about to bounce up to salute solemnly, Xian Ge also came back to his senses, Xu Fengnian made a gesture to them With a gesture of silence, he quietly walked to the innermost table, and saw that young woman who was more unfamiliar than familiar was sleeping at the desk, with slender shoulders and a slight snoring sound, she must be exhausted.
Xu Fengnian gently moved a chair and sat beside her, looking at the piles of official documents that had been approved and neatly arranged, and carefully sorted into categories. She pressed an unwritten document with her arms, Xu Fengnian looked down, it was An official job in Liuzhou is exactly what is going on in secret at the moment. Groups of refugees moved to Lingzhou in an orderly manner, and then resettled in other places where there were no seats to sit in the officialdom of the three states of Liangyouling Scholars entered Liuzhou as officials. Xu Fengnian withdrew his gaze and carefully looked at this Qingzhou woman whom he had always been alienated from. She was wearing a brocade dress with small flowers, which was far inferior to the layers and tenderness of Jiangnan women's attire. She hung a light green smock to keep out the cold, probably because she fell asleep in a hurry and forgot to put it on, so she subconsciously hugged her arms tightly when she slept, probably because she didn't sleep well. Xu Fengnian sighed, carefully pulled out the gown, and helped her cover it. Of course Xu Fengnian knew that this was the girl from the Lu family whom Lu Feichi of Shangzhu Kingdom doted on and admired from the bottom of her heart. Lu Chengyan was very smart, and it was because of her intelligence that she could feel the Xu family from Xu Xiao to Xu Weixiong, and As a husband, he was more partial to Wang Chudong than to her. But such a woman who has never shown any grievances and resentment even made an act of drawing a sword outside the Lu family's new ancestral hall, not only those Lu family members, but even her father would probably be dissatisfied. The girl who went out was inevitably the water that was thrown out, but her elbows were too bent towards the Xu family, and she didn't let the Lu family take advantage of her mother's family in the slightest. Everyone would inevitably slander her, so why did she, Lu Chengyan, marry into the Xu family? The Xu family? The Lu family has gone through untold hardships and came to this impoverished place to take root, shouldn't they enjoy some blessings
Xu Fengnian sat beside Lu Chengyan, and began to annotate one by one official documents with his own handwriting. During this time, the third maid, Xian Ge, approached on tiptoe, and said softly that Miss Lu asked him to wake her up in half an hour. Xu Fengnian waved his hand.
In the dead of night, only the strokes of the brush stroke the rice paper, rustling gently.
Occasionally, the new maid, Junqiu plucks up her courage, and turns her head to take a sneak look at the young man who is extremely wealthy in the world.
When the sky outside the window turned pale, Xu Fengnian walked out of the Indus Courtyard silently after finishing the approval of large and small official documents.
Junqiu didn't feel sleepy all night.
I peeked again and again, but I didn't see how this suave and suave young feudal lord could kill the Lord of Wudi City. He was a hundred-year-old monster!
Xian Ge, who had been afraid to make a sound all this time, took a wad of waste paper and hit the ignorant girl, who stuck out her tongue playfully.
When Lu Chengyan woke up in a daze, Xu Fengnian had already left the city and rushed to the border.
All she saw was the big mountain on the table, which had been emptied.
