After confirming that Wang Sui was the God of Dinghai on the eastern front of Beimang, although Xu Fengnian looked calm and breezy, his heart was full of turmoil. The news was really shocking. Minister Gu Ming, no less. In Luchen, the Central Plains, countless heroes were swept away by the waves, either devoted their allegiance to the country, or escaped from the world, or entered the temple of Liyang with the notoriety of slaves of two surnames. No name, the eleventh Wang Mingyin in the world, Gu Dazu, the number one general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Su Su and Lu Xiufu, the princes of Western Shu who escaped from Beimang, and the only orphan of the Han family in Jizhou who fell into bandits in Beimang, were all like this, if not for Xu Fengnian Walking into the rivers and lakes and stirring up troubles, they may just stay silent in small mud ponds day after day and year after year, and will not break into the eyes of the world again. Wang Sui's comeback, his birth after 20 years of dormancy, is undoubtedly the most prominent, especially if this person chose Beimang, it will inevitably have a huge and far-reaching impact on the pattern of the entire world. Because this romantic and suave Dongyue son-in-law, one of the four famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period in the past, used soldiers the most superbly, and was best at defeating powerful enemies with a small number of troops. Standing side by side with Ye Baikui, a military strategist, and discussing matters on a case-by-case basis, Xu Xiao, who had not yet been crowned king at that time, was more famous for his invincible Xu family's iron cavalry, and his personal deployment of troops could not be compared with Ye Baikui's king. Xu Xiao never concealed himself in front of his children. Ren Tu, who rarely praised his peers, even never concealed his appreciation for Wang Sui. Wang Sui, who is good at sneak attacks, likes to transfer troops in a large amount, is good at combining cavalry with flexible use, and never fights to the last stand, the Xu family's soldiers and horses can't complete the encirclement of the Battle of Xileibi.
It was a great misfortune for Wang Sui to be in Beimang. But luckily among the misfortunes, Wang Sui did not appear on the frontal battlefield of Liang Mang, but instead contained Gu Jiantang's 300,000 taels of Liao frontier army on the eastern front.
According to the laws of Liyang suzerain, there is a rule that the vassals are not allowed to see the vassals privately, but earlier, when Dongyue Guozuo still existed, there was already an interesting story about the king not seeing the king. The son-in-law of the city, surnamed Wang, is the son-in-law of the emperor of Dongyue, who also happens to be surnamed Wang. Wang Xianzhi and Wang Sui, a master of the rivers and lakes who has never cared about the prosperity and decline of temples, and a real power son-in-law who is a drunk beauty who wakes up on his knees and wields the world's power, the two irrelevant people are in an argument for some reason.
Seeing Xu Fengnian's silent and increasingly dignified face, Jiang Ni said flatly, "Uncle Cao and I visited Wang Sui during our trip to Beimang, and Uncle Cao persuaded Wang Sui, hoping that he could serve Great Chu. But was rejected, Wang Sui said that Dongyue's loss to Liyang was the general trend, and it was not a crime of war. The second great humiliation after Wang Xianzhi, he will fight Gu Jiantang again when the strength of the army is quite equal."
Xu Fengnian said to himself: "They are all sixty years old, why are they still so childish? The military affairs are not children's play games. If you punch me today, I will kick you again tomorrow." " Jiang Ni looked strange, "Wang Sui mentioned you. After he heard that you practiced swords, he made a bet with Uncle Cao. Wang Sui bet that you would definitely become a great master of martial arts in the future."
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "What's there to gamble about? Isn't it a sure thing? Your uncle who waits for chess is also willing to bet on it. Isn't he being a money-scattering boy and taking advantage of it? What is the bet?"
Jiang Ni said unhappily: "Uncle Cao didn't say that you can't become a master, but just put your achievement on the same level as his own, but Wang Sui said that you can fight Wang Xianzhi."
Xu Fengnian stroked his unshaved beard, "Wang Sui has a unique vision. If there is a chance, I must invite this old guy to drink. Just because of his vision, I can do it first for three cups."
Jiang Ni said with an unprecedented smile: "Do you know why Wang Sui is so optimistic about you who were only in the vajra realm at that time?"
How could Xu Fengnian guess what Wang Sui, a thousand-year-old bastard like Wang Sui, was thinking, so he said casually, "Appearance?"
Jiang Ni seemed to have been severely injured, and she was so breathless that she could not speak.
Xu Fengnian was shocked and said: "Wang Sui really judges people by appearance?"
Jiang Ni was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk anymore.
Xu Fengnian began to think about it on his own, "Wang Sui was born in a noble family, he was a hero when he was young, he was a hero, and he turned around after he was crowned. He has only practiced martial arts for five years, and he is proficient in all eighteen martial arts with swords, guns and bows. Especially His swordsmanship is good, and even Jianchi Song Nianqing and Chai Qingshan praised him a lot. When he was young, Wang Sui was recognized as a handsome man in East and Vietnam. Those women and girls with outstanding backgrounds in the court all liked to be nicknamed Tanlang. So Come on, I am a fellow of the same people, no wonder no wonder... "
Jiang Ni couldn't help but was about to kick, Xu Fengnian had expected it a long time ago, and when he turned his head, he just stared. Probably because she was used to being bullied in the early years, even if she is now a female sword fairy who is like a land fairy, she subconsciously retracted her feet on the spot. Xu Fengnian said angrily, "Tell me, who did you learn from? Cao Changqing, or the old grand master Sun Xiji?"
Jiang Ni muttered with a cold face: "You want to care?!"
Xu Fengnian rubbed his buttocks, the kick in the alley not long ago ruined the master demeanor he managed so hard to manage, suddenly his face was full of anger, and he hummed strangely: "I heard that there is an old man in your West Chu Temple. Gentle little white face, surnamed Song, with a big name, so big that even Tai'an City "smells that his face is white, beautiful, and Xiao Xiao is as solemn as a pine breeze, tall and Xu Yin", many people are full and supportive It is said that this guy often traveled to mountains and rivers, and was mistaken by the villager and woodcutter for an immortal. Even Qi Yanglong made his name and reputation in front of Zhao Zhuan. The article is like the Dragon Palace exploring Lilong, only this person gets the pearl, and the rest are just claws. So now Liyang has a dragon chapter and a phoenix appearance, which means this guy's literary talent, and... "
Jiang Ni pretended to be dazed, and interrupted Xu Fengnian's ramblings, "I've heard of Longzhang, Song Maolin, the youngest academician of the Imperial Academy in the history of Great Chu, if it wasn't for Uncle Cao's pearls and jades, he would be The youngest one is waiting to be edicted, but as for the "dragon and phoenix posture" or "Northern Xu and Southern Song" or what Song Maolin's articles complement each other, I don't know."
Xu Fengnian laughed angrily and said, "How dare that little boy stand side by side with me? I can knock down a thousand Song Maolin with one hand. Isn't it just a so-so essay? I think that's the way it is. What a fart the immortal is!" "
Jiang Ni still had that innocent look in his eyes, "Well, if I remember correctly, Mrs. Sun once praised him as a hundred thousand soldiers for a single article."
Then she began to lower her head and wriggle her fingers, "Qi Yanglong, ordered by Liyang Zhongshu, said that he has a good literary talent, and he has the style of banishing immortals. Tan Tanweng, the minister under the door, said that this person's level of imperial examination skills is not inferior to that of Sun Yin. Zuojijiu Yao Baifeng It is said that he is 'knowledgeable and reasonable', plus our Grand Master Sun of Dachu said that he wrote his essays with momentum, and Uncle Cao said that his chess skills are only inferior to Fan Changhou's first-line, the ten most knowledgeable people in the world. There are already five people who have said good things about him, I will count again, it seems that there are more... "
Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said: "Stop it, stop it, that little boy has a little bit of fame in the scholarly literary world, so look at your so-and-so?"
Jiang Ni deliberately looked left and right, but did not look at Xu Fengnian, "Who, where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Xu Fengnian reached out and gently pressed Jiang Ni's forehead to prevent her from shaking her head.
Jiang Ni slapped his paws off, and said contemptuously: "Are you bored or not, why don't you care about a Guangling Dao scholar who is far away in the sky? Beimang's million-strong army is all on the border of Beiliang, can you take care of it?"
Xu Fengnian looked into Jiang Ni's eyes, and asked softly: "It is said that most of the civil servants in your Western Chu Temple have suggested that the surnamed Song be with you..."
Jiang Ni once again interrupted Xu Fengnian's words, her face was as usual, her tone was flat, as if she was talking about a trivial matter out of the way, "Before, someone suggested Kou Jianghuai, then Xie Xizhen, and then Song Maolin."
Xu Fengnian's face was gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is Cao Changqing doing? If he is too busy to take care of you, the princess of Chu, and he has not seen him fight all the way to the foot of Tai'an City. If he is busy, So you can’t even control a few broken mouths in the temple? That’s it, and you still want to restore the country?”
Jiang Ni shook her head and said, "Uncle Cao is already fine."
Xu Fengnian hesitated to speak.
Jiang Ni exhaled lightly, and looked into the distance of the dimly lit street, "What should I say? Should I take the initiative to fight, or wait for them to come to the door?"
Xu Fengnian instantly regained his carefree appearance, "It took me a long time to build up such an aura before, but it was kicked by you. Then just wait, Snow Lotus City is not big or small, there is probably still a while. "
Jiang Ni asked suspiciously: "Don't go? Anyway, we all escaped all the way, don't you care about this time?"
Xu Fengnian didn't speak, turned back and walked back to the alley, Jiang Ni silently followed behind. The daughter of Majiabao immediately bowed, and the poor boy Hong Shuzhi was still there, and the Central Plains swordsman also stayed on, obviously not giving up on the snow lotus tree. Seeing the return of the sword fairy "senior" and the beautiful woman with the box on her back, the expression on his face was complicated. The middle-aged man knew well that the two immortals were also rushing to the snow lotus, and they would never be able to snatch it. Most likely he couldn't ask for it, but when he thought of her who had to rely on the Liaodong old ginseng to hang her life every month, the man gritted his teeth and said to Xu Fengnian: "Senior, can I give up that snow lotus tree? Junior Shao Mu, would you like to take it?" Live in exchange!"
Xu Fengnian froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I must have this snow lotus, there is nothing to discuss."
Shao Mu looked miserable, closed his eyes and then opened them suddenly, and said resolutely: "Then I have to ask senior for advice!"
Xu Fengnian waved his hands and said with a smile: "You might as well wait one night, if I stay in the city at dawn, you can exchange your life for the snow lotus in Liu Huaixi's mansion, if I have already left the city, you can do business with that child again , It’s nothing more than helping him go to Majiabao, with your second-rank little grandmaster’s strength, it shouldn’t be difficult to pick up a private fort at will.”
A girl with a strange name dared to retort: "The head of our Majiabao Nursing Academy is called Wei Tieqiang. It is a reed leaf spear made of fine iron. Inches, it’s amazing! I’ve seen the head of Wei’s gun piercing through three armors with my own eyes! Besides, I have a cavalry army that comes and goes like the wind in Majiabao! Even the mansion of General Liu in Xuelian City can’t Dare to underestimate our Majiabao!"
Shao Mu laughed it off.
On the other hand, Xu Fengnian squatted on the steps next to Shao Mu, and said with a smile, "It sounds like your family is very strong and powerful. Let me ask you a question, were your ancestors locals, or did they migrate from the Central Plains?"
The girl said cautiously: "Why do you ask this?"
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Xu Fengnian stopped asking and began to concentrate.
Shao Mu hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking curiously: "Could it be that senior really wants to compete with that Beimang Tuoba Bodhisattva?"
Xu Fengnian hummed.
Even Shao Mu, who thought he was used to strong winds and waves, was speechless.
Since he can compete with the Northern Mang Army God, at the very least, he should have a level of Zhixuan cultivation, and he might even reach the threshold of the legendary Celestial Phenomena Realm, right
Jiang Ni's original intention was that he couldn't understand this guy's pretentious sophistication, so he snorted coldly and said: "Has it been more than half a decade or a month? It's not that there is no winner!"
Both of Shao Mu's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and he swallowed.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said nothing.
Even though he stayed in Xuelian City, which is far away from the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, and the news is blocked for a few years, Shao Mu really couldn't figure out who has such a supernatural ability. Could it be that he has no eyes, and the senior sitting next to him is the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a ? Otherwise, among the sword masters, Song Nianqing of Jianchi and Chai Qingshan, the number one swordsman in the southeast, are both old men, and Tangxi Sword Immortal Lu Baijie would not have this ability, and the age is still not right. When Shao Mu rushed to Xuelian City from the Central Plains, he heard that Wu Liuding, the sword crown of the Wu family's sword tomb, took a female sword attendant with him and began to walk around the rivers and lakes in Xishu. The old guy who died under the sword of the "predecessor" just guessed the same way, and he mentioned raising swords and flying swords, but Shao Mu didn't think that Wu Liuding could reach the height of fighting with Tuoba Bodhisattva for more than half a decade in just a few years. No matter how amazingly talented a martial arts genius is, he has never had a life-threatening fight, and has not experienced the "feeding tricks" of many top martial arts masters. , is still as difficult as climbing the sky.
Half an hour later, the girl was drowsy, and the boy squeezed his eyelids. Xu Fengnian raised his arm, and the six-year-old phoenix fell obliquely through the night sky. Xu Fengnian took out the secret letter in the slender bamboo tube, feeling relieved.
Jiang Ni threw it to ask for his sight.
Xu Fengnian said cheerfully: "Leaving everyone behind, Xu Yanbing single-handedly went out of Xuelian City, and he can enter the city in half an hour at most."
Jiang Ni snorted, "Then I'll wait for half an hour."
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "No need, since Xu Yanbing arrived so much earlier than I expected, then you can return to Guangling Road without worry."
Then Xu Fengnian turned his head and said to the boy and Shao Mu respectively: "Hong Shuzhi, go and get that snow lotus plant, and I will naturally help you fulfill your wish. Shao Mu, I can give you the plant that Liu Huaixi asked for at the latest tomorrow morning. Remember to rush to Beiliang immediately after delivering the snow lotus. You can protect yourself at any post station in Youzhou or Lingzhou. Someone will bring you to me at that time. In short, I will accept this life of yours, Shao Mu. gone."
The boy was half excited and half anxious, blushing, "Really?"
Xu Fengnian raised his arms lightly, let the sea dongqing return to the night sky, and nodded, "You have seen my sword skills with your own eyes."
The young man jumped up happily, and rushed to the house to take out an iron box, which stored ice and wrapped snow lotus in ice. Xu Fengnian took the box and handed it to the puzzled Jiang Ni, "For you."
Xu Fengnian pointed to the wound on her neck, then pointed to his own cheek, and said with a smile: "Snow lotus is probably the best beauty thing for women in the world."
Not giving Jiang Ni a chance to refuse, Xu Fengnian looked at her and said calmly: "Also, send a message to Cao Changqing, just to let him rest assured that in some places, Beiliang cavalry is familiar with the road."
Xu Fengnian blinked his eyes, "If you don't mind telling me another word, please tell that little boy surnamed Song, what kind of exiled immortal of Fengshen Yulang, I will beat him until his parents can't recognize him. "
Jiang Ni hugged the box and didn't speak.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "It's only half an hour, I actually need to face Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi alone to fight, I want to completely damage Tuoba Bodhisattva's mood, and I will have a better chance of winning the next fight. Don't worry, if something goes wrong, it's easy for me to run away. I've been resting and recuperating along the way, enough for me to play cat and mouse with them for half an hour."
Jiang Ni was still silent.
Xu Fengnian jokingly said, "Why, are you reluctant to leave?"
Jiang Ni snorted.
Xu Fengnian waved his hand, "Go, go."
Jiang Ni's expression was stiff and cold, she turned around, and the Great Liang sparrow flew out of the red sandalwood sword box, floating horizontally in front of her, she jumped up lightly, and disappeared like a rainbow in an instant.
Shao Mu was dumbfounded again.
And what the hell is a sword fairy? !
When did we leave the Yangjiang Lake with land sword immortals so full of streets
The boy grinned stupidly at the girl and said, "Let me just say it, you are really a fairy sister!"
The girl stepped on the boy's instep, and the boy stood alone, baring his teeth.
After about half a stick of incense, the girl looked at the man standing on the steps who was always looking in the direction where the fairy disappeared, and asked softly, "You lied to her, didn't you?"
Xu Fengnian smiled, turned around and said to Shao Mu: "You take the two children to Xuehe Building, and say that I promise to give you a snow lotus, and Mrs. Song will help you get it from Liu Huaixi at any cost, and then let Xuehe Building settle down. Good them. Come on, through the back door."
When Shao Mu left with the boys and girls, he vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes coming from a distant alley.
