A reunion after a long absence, after the two drank up the wine in the pot, they broke up so calmly and unhappy. For the first time ever, Shen Changgeng, a chatterbox, didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. It wasn't until the woman put on the drapery hat that concealed her face and walked straight into the small town that he suddenly woke up from the trance, and he was very careful. Hitting Xu Fengnian with the elbow, he asked curiously, "Acquaintance?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "Well, she has never been a pleasing girl."
Shen Changgeng hurriedly sat upright, and said earnestly: "It's right to be so disastrous to the country and the people, and to have a bad temper. Let me tell you a word of conscience, such a brilliant woman, after passing this village, there will be no such shop. Don't do it for the sake of face." I missed it, what kind of nonsense that brothers are brothers and women are like clothes, let’s just listen to it, but it’s really lack of heart! If you want me to say it, it’s the truth that you can’t take off your clothes!”
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but said: "I think you will definitely find a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower and jade in the future, and when the time comes, the gods and gods will join hands in the rivers and lakes."
Shen Changgeng rubbed his hands with fascination and said, "I'd like to borrow your blessings."
Xu Fengnian suddenly saw a familiar figure walking alone with a sword box in the distance, hesitated for a moment, got up and said goodbye to Shen Changgeng, and led the horse away. When Xu Fengnian apologized again and again and said "excuse me", he began to approach the sad-faced young man with the box, perhaps because of the latter's consonance, and soon turned his head to look, and after seeing Xu Fengnian, he followed his old man. The ancestor came out of the grave with a similarly shocked expression. The original aloof and aristocratic demeanor that was quite eye-catching suddenly broke down completely. He trotted towards Xu Fengnian in a hurry. The young man with the four famous swords in his possession had already made it, and now he cupped his fists with red eyes and said in a low voice, "Zhang Chunlin of Youyan Villa has seen benefactor!"
At that time, before the life-and-death battle with Han Shengxuan, Xu Fengnian stayed at Youyan Villa with Wang Xiaoping, Xuanyuan Qingfeng and others when the road was blocked by heavy snow. Seeing injustice, he pulled out his sword to help, and he was able to save Zhang Chunlin's parents. Afterwards, he also took away the Longxu Fengsui and the thin waist and other swords. Now the time is turning around in Youyan Mountain Villa. Zhang Dongling and his wife, who have untied their knots, have joined hands to re-forge swords. More than a dozen unparalleled famous swords have been released one after another. Knowing that Xu Fengnian is famous all over the world, Youyan Villa also deduced Xu Fengnian's hidden identity by virtue of clues. Zhang Chunlin, who had longed for the world, naturally regarded Xu Fengnian as a benefactor and a fairy. Looking for the "Sword Immortal Senior" who I mistakenly thought to be a hundred-year-old "sword fairy" in the Liang territory, I want to thank the young vassal king of the northwest frontier on behalf of my parents and the villa. There was no plan to tell, and Zhang Chunlin became more and more determined along the way.
Xu Fengnian joked: "At that time, I was fooling people with white hair. It's hard for Mr. Zhang to recognize it."
Zhang Chunlin subconsciously blurted out, "Even if it turns into ashes, I can still recognize it!"
Then the young owner of Youyan Mountain Villa was dumbstruck, wishing he could slap him twice to relieve his hatred, he felt uncomfortable. Xu Fengnian laughed it off and asked casually, "Why are you alone?"
Zhang Chunlin, who hardly knew where to put both hands, said blushingly: "I also met some high-ranking Jianghu disciples, but the gatherings quickly dissipated, and in the end there were only two or three people who could talk to each other." Boss friends, it’s a pity that it’s so close to this small town, those people have to go with the elders of the sect, I really can’t understand some things that have been agreed, so I found an excuse to get out.”
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "When one is in the Jianghu, it is inevitable to go to the village and do as the Romans do."
Xu Fengnian didn't want to talk too much about these old-fashioned preaching words with a person of his age, so he quickly changed the subject, "The four swords in the box, except for the rootless Tianshui I saw back then, are the three new swords from Longyan Sword Furnace?"
Zhang Chunlin stretched out his hand and patted the sword box behind him, grinning brightly and said, "There are two incense burners cast from Longyan, named Chusi and Senglu, and the Shuilongjian Sword Stove, which has not been opened for 120 years, was also started at the end of last year. Well, the sword body is as clear as ice and snow, and the sword body has a natural curvature that seems to break the rules. In memory of benefactor, I dared to name it Frost Knife. It sounds really nondescript, which made benefactor laugh."
There are still two hundred steps away from the entrance of the town, there are many tents, and it is becoming more and more difficult to walk, especially Xu Fengnian is not leading the horse at the right time, which is naturally eye-catching. When the benefactor apologized to others, Zhang Chunlin, who was young and naturally energetic, was still a little angry. He just felt worthless for his benefactor, but at the same time warned himself not to miss the important event of benefactor. When Xu Fengnian couldn't pass through the sea of people alone, he said to Zhang Chunlin, "I won't send you into the town, I'm going back to Liangzhou."
Zhang Chunlin once again froze on the spot out of his wits, "Don't benefactors go in?"
Xu Fengnian laughed at himself and said, "I'm not going to join in the fun. The border war is in a hurry. You should have heard that I was driven all the way to the south by Tuoba Bodhisattva. I have to go back immediately."
Zhang Chunlin hesitated to speak, his eyes turned red from the base of his ears to his neck, his eyes wandered, obviously he was at war between heaven and man.
Xu Fengnian seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a carefree smile: "If you say that you want to join the Beiliang Frontier Army because you think you need to repay your kindness, I'm honest, but you don't need it. Once you came to Youyan Villa, you donated swords twice, and you are not indebted. What about me, besides, Jiang Hu Er Lang Jiang Hu is old, and border guards die at the same time, from ancient times to the present, this is the same truth."
When Zhang Chunlin was about to speak, two groups of people arrived as scheduled. Behind them was Shen Changgeng, whom Xu Fengnian had met by chance, and the three who walked out of the small town were Zhang Chunlin's rare congenial friends. The status and identities of the two parties were very different, and their attitudes were different. There is also a huge gap in demeanor, so when the three of them stood beside Zhang Chunlin, and the stage-frightened Shen Changgeng stood beside Xu Fengnian, the two circles were clearly separated. The distance of one step seems to be far away in the sky. Xu Fengnian didn't have any regrets about this. Even if Chen Xiliang, a poor scholar, sat at the same table with those famous people with prominent clans, why wasn't that the case? Although Zhang Chunlin said that he was inseparable from those three people of the same age, he never revealed Xu Fengnian's identity. When talking about the battle of immortal flying swords that took place on the mountain lake, Zhang Chunlin only said that he met the anonymous senior sword fairy, Bai Hair like frost, countless flying swords, an out-and-out fairy.
Shen Changgeng tugged at Xu Fengnian's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "You want to go north? Why don't you take me with you? As for me, I can't help here anyway. Take a look over at Liang. Along the way, I heard many people say that Beiliang Palace not only has an arsenal and Tingchao Lake, but also has 30 new monuments behind the mountain. I used to only hear people scolding Beiliang. I also heard that Youzhou in Beiliang was defeated. They were defeated in a row. They lost their helmets and armor, and they were defeated. In short, they were beaten to the door by the barbarians in Beimang. This trip to the Western Regions mainly passed through the northern part of the West Shu Road. It was only when I was close to the northern Lianglingzhou area that I realized that some things might be different. I began to be skeptical, and what I heard with my own ears was different. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. Even if I'm unlucky. If it's not like that, when I go back to Yanglu County, I want to say something that no one else has said."
Thousands of people from the Central Plains entered the Western Regions in three ways. Shen Changgeng and his group lived in the middle and crossed the border of the West Shu Road and the North Liang Road. The group led by Huang Fangfo walked the West Shu Plank Road, and the last group was Under the guidance of Yulong Gang Liu Nirong, who was doing his best as a landlord, he passed through Lingzhou.
Xu Fengnian looked at Shen Changgeng with a dignified and sincere expression, shook his head and said, "Don't go, people die on the border every day, there's nothing to see, and besides, all places outside Beiliang Pass are heavily guarded, you can't reach the tiger head in the northernmost part of Liangzhou." City or Xiaguang City in the south of Hulukou.”
Shen Changgeng scratched his head, turned his head and glanced at the group of men who belonged to the strangers in the distance, "I casually mentioned to them that you are a local from Beiliang, for some reason, they heard that someone Leading the way, I don’t mean to go to Beiliang to wander around. I said that I have already gone to the Western Regions anyway. It would be too shameful not to go to Beiliang. It’s not good to go back to my hometown and boast to others that I have seen the 300,000 cavalry in Beiliang. Hey, I just have the problem of bragging and not writing drafts, and now I am riding a tiger, or you just take us to the southern border of Beiliang, and then we will go by ourselves?"
Of course, Xu Fengnian would not be able to procrastinate for them, and it would be impossible to slow down his pace towards Hutou City, so he could only shake his head, "If it weren't for the current situation, one and a half years earlier, not to mention the northern and southern borders, I would just take you to Liangzhou It’s not a problem to see the scenery outside the Great Wall.”
Shen Changgeng was not annoyed, he patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, laughed and said, "It's all right, I'll go back and let them know. That's fine! Just treat it as if you owe me a drink, how about it?"
Shen Changgeng turned around and trotted out for a dozen steps, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, if we go to Beiliang in the future, how can we find you for a drink?"
Xu Fengnian was about to speak, but Zhang Chunlin had already looked at Shen Changgeng, who was belatedly aware, and said with a laugh: "Coincidentally, I'm going to Liangzhou soon, if you don't mind, let's go together?"
Shen Changgeng was a little stunned, and asked tentatively, "Will you not bother me?"
Zhang Chunlin smiled intoxicatingly, and said cheerfully: "How about keeping a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine all the way?!"
Then Zhang Chunlin gloated and turned his head to look at the three friends, "Chen Zhengyong, retreat together, Cai Yongjia, how do you say, do you dare to follow the pre-arranged agreement, and after this time, come with me to the Liangzhou border ?”
Among the three, Chen Zhengyong, who had the strongest sense of Yushu facing the wind, smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"
The young man with the most conceited expression between his brows folded his arms around his chest, "If you dare to kill a barbarian in person, Liangzhou would not dare to go? If that vassal king really had the feat of leading troops to Hulukou in person, if Qingliangshan's 300,000 There is Xu Fengnian's piece in the stele, so it doesn't matter if I give him a horse after I retreat!"
Another bookish young man in Confucian shirts said with a smile, "I like girls from Yanzhi County the most. As for fighting, I don't like it very much, but I'm not afraid of it either."
Xu Fengnian said goodbye to them with a smile, and led the horse away.
Chen Zhengyong glanced at Zhang Chunlin, who was traveling thousands of miles, and asked softly, "Who is it? At that time, we met Liu Xianzi from Jiagutai, and we never saw you so distraught."
Zhang Chunlin smiled and said, "You will know about it in the future."
Just when Xu Fengnian got away from the crowd and got on his horse and galloped northward, it was no longer a woman in purple standing on the top of a tall building.
Then what the woman said spread throughout the world in the late spring of the second year of Xiangfu.
At this moment, she was standing with her hands behind her back, like a female emperor sitting north facing south.
Near the soles of the feet were six bloody heads.
"There is a guy who was by your side just now, and now he has secretly gone north. If I guessed correctly, he is rushing to the Tiger Head City in Beimang where millions of troops are approaching the city."
"This person probably just fought with others from the northern part of the Western Regions to the southern part of the Western Regions. The two of them fought against each other for nearly a month, covering a distance of more than a thousand miles. He also failed to win, so he didn't have the face to face anyone."
"His opponent is called Tuoba Bodhisattva!"
"I'm not interested in the battle of Liangmang, and I don't have a good opinion of him towards Beiliang. Besides, I'm just a bitch in that man's mouth. It's always a man's business to go into battle. Xuanyuan Qingfeng... off My shit?!"
"There are nearly 4,000 people present, and there are more than 3,700 men. Except for the 62 members of the Yulong Gang, there is no one from Beiliang."
"This year's Ching Ming Festival, there is a place called Qingliang Mountain in Beiliang. Thirty-six thousand and eight hundred and seventy-two names have been engraved in the forest of steles behind the mountain. And the barbarians of Beimang are in Liuzhou, Liangzhou, and Youzhou. Nearly 100,000 people have died in the state!"
Having said that, she kicked the six heads off the roof one by one.
"Six devils, I, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, have already slaughtered them, so I have nothing to do with you. So I just want to ask you a question now. There are only two million households in Beiliang, and more than 30,000 people have died. Then we will go to Liyang. , In our Central Plains, how many people died in battle, and how many people dared to die in battle?"
"If I remember correctly, since the Liyang Dynasty was restructured in the last years of Yonghui, there are twelve Dao besides Beiliang Dao, sixty-three prefectures, and more than two hundred and seventy counties."
"Northern mang barbarians with a million young men are already on the border, where is my Liyang man?"
Inside and outside the town, there was a deathly silence.
The woman on the top floor sneered, which was extremely ear-piercing.
Finally, a crisp voice resounded from an inn in the town, "Jing'an Road, Hanlin County, Qingzhou, Yuchi Duquan, Kuaixue Mountain Villa, here! I wish to go to the border!"
The woman on the top of the building looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "It's weird! It's a woman."
Then someone at the entrance of the town said loudly: "Dongyue Road, Zhang Chunlin of Wuzhou would like to die outside Beiliang Pass!"
"Peach Blossom County, Jiangnan Road, I have Chen Zhengyong!"
"Huainan Dao Yunzhou all retreat, just begging for death!"
"Cai Yongjia, Xiangfan City, Qingzhou, dare to die and fight at the border!"
A voice with a little lack of energy also sounded, but it was even more generous and tragic, "Jiangnan Road, Yanglu County, Shen Changgeng is here!"
"Nanjiang Road, Bazhou Wenxian County, Xue Tao is here!"
…
One sound, one after another, stretches on and on, as if there is no end.
In the distance to the north of the town, a horse stopped, but he never turned around.
The young man who dared to slay the dragon, the young man who dared to fight with Tuoba Bodhisattva for thousands of miles, at this moment, he didn't even dare to look back.
There is Beiliang at the northwest gateway.
Behind is the Central Plains.
Beiliang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world.
It has been twenty years since the spear head was facing north.
It's just that it's not the Central Plains in the eyes of most civil officials in Liyang, the real Central Plains, how has it ever been less heroic
After this ride, he started galloping wildly.
