A team of 500 Tongguan elite cavalry escorted a carriage to the outside of Liangzhou City. The captain Xin Yinma who personally led the army did not meet the local garrison, but two leaders from Fushuifang in Liangzhou City came to take over. Then he led the carriage into the city quietly, and went straight to the mansion of the Vice-Jiedu Envoy, where the Spring and Autumn veteran Yang Shenxing was in charge.
Stepping out of the carriage was a graceful woman wearing a veiled veiled hat, but compared to the ladies in the Central Plains who were renamed "Shanlu" by literati and refined scholars, the woman's veiled hat with bamboo brims looked extremely rough. She was followed by three strong followers, with a calm demeanor, looking forward to being as majestic as a tiger or wolf, with weird hair accessories that did not look like those from Beiliang. Fortunately, the street outside the mansion of Beiliang Road Deputy Jiedushi was empty at this time, otherwise it would inevitably arouse people's daydreams.
A middle-aged strong man closest to the woman looked at the style of the mansion, whispered to her and asked her a few words. After getting the answer, his face was full of anger, and the woman with special status immediately reprimanded him in a low voice. Dissatisfied, whispering, without stopping. Under the veil, the woman seemed to be quite helpless about this. The guards of Qi Xue were all descendants of the dignitaries in the North Court of the Grassland, and this one beside him was even more unusual.
She was actually a bit curious about the place where the young vassal king put the meeting place here. According to the spider web information in Xijing, General Yang Shenxing of Liyang was not having a good time in Beiliangdao, and he was temporarily hanging in the mansion under the old general's name. She shouldn't have taken on such important military tasks, but since Qingliang Mountain had already arranged this, as a guest from afar, she could only be forced to accept it. In fact, the worst situation she expected was very likely that she didn't even see the outline of Liangzhou City, and a group of four died quietly and violently on the way. Now that the young feudal lord is willing to show up, it is already a good result. Her familiarity with Qingliang Mountain and Beiliang cavalry is far from being comparable to the three arrogant and cowardly Xue Wei around her. Those servile survivors of the Southern Dynasties have dealt with each other, and their knowledge of the Northern Liang frontier army only stays on the paper of some rough military espionage.
The person who led the way for them was a kind-hearted middle-aged man, well-dressed, not luxurious, but delicately ironed. The middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge of the mansion was accompanied by a young maidservant with a delicate face, but It is a seductive figure with big breasts, wasp waist, fat buttocks and long legs. If she is lying on the bed, she may look like a rouge horse. Even the woman in the veiled hat couldn't help but glance at the servant girl in the mansion, not to mention the cowardly guard beside her, who didn't hide his hot eyes, swallowed, suddenly smiled, quickened a few steps, stretched out his hand He was about to touch the maidservant's slender waist, and the veiled woman had no time to stop her, but the burly and cowardly Xue Wei didn't succeed either. The middle-aged steward who didn't know when to turn and stop gently held his arm, and the man struggled hard After a while, he couldn't move, he felt as if he was facing an enemy, and there was no slightest contempt in his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't break free from the white fingers who were more like a scholar in charge.
The middle-aged steward did not look at the cowardly guard at all, but looked at the woman in the veiled hat, and said with a smile: "This is not your Beimang, there has never been a custom of giving beautiful concubines and maids, if you have the ability to make a woman fall in love at first sight, that is If you don’t have real skills, this girl, you should constrain the people around you honestly, otherwise we in Beiliang have treated Beimang with hospitality in the past twenty years, I believe you are no strangers.”
After saying these words, the middle-aged man let go of his five fingers calmly. The red-faced and burly man was caught off guard, and one staggered and fell backwards. Hold, this is the only way to stand firm.
The embarrassing Bei Mang man was furious, and he reached out his hand to hold the white rainbow knife in a golden peach-skin sheath that only the king's clan could hang on his waist, and was about to draw it in a fit of anger.
The middle-aged man was indifferent to this, and his face was still calm and pleasant. He glanced at the strong man in Beimang who seemed to have only muscles but not a brain, and said with a smile: "If you want to use this to test our lord The bottom line, then I, as a servant, can't help but advise you, this move is meaningless and meaningless."
The burly man immediately restrained his irritable expression, but still held the gorgeous saber, staring at the hidden martial arts master in front of him.
At the same time, the bruise on the wrist holding the knife disappeared instantly.
Obviously, the middle-aged steward is very skilled, and this cowardly Xue Wei, who was deliberately embarrassed before, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The woman in the veiled hat asked indifferently: "This gentleman is not the person in charge of the vice-jiedushi's mansion, is he?"
The middle-aged man didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "I'm working in Qingliang Mountain, doing some chores, welcome and see you off."
She suddenly realized, her tone was more respectful, and she asked with a smile: "But the Song chief steward who was born in Wutongyuan of the Wangfu?"
Both father and son served the middle-aged man of the Xu family in Beiliang. They first signaled the maidservant to continue leading the way with their eyes, and then walked side by side with the woman in the hat who recognized him, and said with a smile: "I never thought that the princess would listen to him." told me."
The woman in the veiled hat is the Princess Qingluan of Beimang, whose pseudonym is Fan Bainu. Beiliang is widely spread.
She said softly: "The King of Shu mentioned Mr. Song's father many times in the chat."
Song Yu, the butler of Qingliangshan, frowned and did not answer.
Today in Beiliang, probably even many of the dead spies who entered the Fushui room a little later don't know that the old steward who had been coughing all year round was actually the same as Li Yishan in Tingchao Pavilion and Chu Lushan today. The founder of Fang, the old man at the bottom of the lake, was imprisoned at the bottom of Tingchao Lake in the first place, because he was no match for Jian Jiuhuang, but why Jian Jiuhuang stayed in Qingliang Mountain as a groom is another matter that has long been submerged in the Tingchao Lake. The secret in the depths of the Fushui room. After Xu Xiao became the king and became the fan of Beiliang, countless survivors from the Central Plains and rivers and lakes were as reckless as crucian carp crossing the river. They went to Qingliang Mountain to avenge the Xu family. At that time, Xiao had Xu Yanbing, Han Laoshan, and his younger brother Wang Xiu as his personal followers, so at that time, His Royal Highness Xu Fengnian, who often wandered around the three states of Beiliang, and the apparent servants around him, if they were said to be the same as the generals of Beiliang who were also not doing their jobs properly. It's okay for younger children to be jealous, but it's not enough to meet a real top assassin. Why is Xu Fengnian still alive and kicking to the point of being a hereditary successor
At that time, Song Yu, the steward of the Indus Academy, this humble person with a warm voice and a warm temper, seemed to be busy all day long in his early years, paying for the unscrupulous prince's wine and wine, and paying for those knight-errants who fell into the master's eyes. Presenting gold and silver plaques, like a harmless guy who only does some ass cleaning for His Royal Highness, is the truth of everything.
Before Bai Hu'er looked through and listened to the secrets of the Chaohu Arsenal, there was actually one person who took the lead in accomplishing this feat.
This person is Song Yu. Although he suffered a serious injury when he was young, he has suffered from an incurable disease, which has resulted in him only having the physique of a second-rank junior master, but no matter how high his vision is, he still has all kinds of clues after learning from the elders of many families. Song Yu is a well-deserved master of the realm secret technique.
The second person after Xu Fengnian in Liangshan.
When Fan Bainu was led by Song Yu to a lakeside pavilion, he almost recognized the young feudal lord at first sight.
There is no distinction between the subject and the guest and the superiority of the seats in the pavilion. Around the young feudal lord sits a handsome scholar in white clothes, a tall and majestic old man, and a middle-aged man who looks like the old man by half or half. .
After seeing Fan Bainu and his party, the young feudal lord stood up slowly, walked to the top of the steps, and greeted the enemy princess who had quietly sneaked into Liangzhou with a smile on his face.
Fan Bainu didn't know why, after seeing this scene, instead of feeling relieved, he hated this young man surnamed Xu even more.
She herself didn't know why, maybe it was this person who forced Chen Zhibao to leave Beiliang, maybe it was the identity of this person as the eldest son of Xu Xiao, or it was the aftermath of the tragic battle at Hulukou that was introduced into the king's tent of Beimang, maybe it was because of this person. The news of Hong Jingyan's death was just heard not long ago.
Fan Bainu quickly suppressed the disgust in his heart, and tried his best to keep himself calm. After all, if he showed a little strangeness in front of a master of martial arts like Xu Fengnian, he would be caught.
Although the four men were drinking at first, there was a table of small and exquisite huanghuali in the pavilion, and the whole tea set was readily available. Presumably this is also the way of hospitality in Beiliang, treating women outside the battlefield.
Sure enough, the beautiful and enchanting servant girl walked up the steps with Fan Bainu, with low eyebrows and light steps, sat on the side of the table, and started to make tea skillfully.
With the end of the Hongjia Beiben, there are many survivors of the Spring and Autumn Period who have the identity of Tianhuang nobles, bringing a piece of the Central Plains' elegant atmosphere of spring breeze and rain to the nobles of Beimang. Drinking tea is one of them. Before that, Beimang's respect for the Central Plains The impression of drinking tea is nothing more than the two actions of putting tea leaves and pouring tea water. Now, even the seven prohibitions and twelve admonitions, which are more elaborate than those in the Dafeng period, have become established rules, and they have a certain style.
Xu Fengnian took his seat again, and sat down with Fan Bainu who had taken off his veil, and introduced the identities of the rest of them to her. Yang Huchen, the son of the deputy general Yang Shenxing, is not an outsider to add at the end, so she, Princess Qingluan, can speak freely.
While Fan Bainu was carefully thinking over his words, Xu Fengnian suddenly looked at the three Beimang cowardly Xue guards outside the pavilion, turned his gaze away and said to her slowly: "If my king remembers correctly, the golden peach-skin sheathed white rainbow knife, It was supervised by the Yelu royal family thirty years ago, and there were no more than sixteen in total. Excluding the few in the Wangzhang treasury, the whole Beimang only gave nine. It seems that Dong Zhuo became the king of the South Courtyard and Zhongtan was promoted to Xia Nabo. People outside the pavilion can carry this knife on their waists, and it looks like an old thing that has been worn for many years. I believe that the status of the king will not be lower than that of the princess. Why don't you go to the pavilion to drink together and taste the green ants from Beiliang?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Fan Bainu's eyes, and she was about to speak, but the young feudal lord's next words almost made her get up angrily.
"The reason why I know the origin of this knife has nothing to do with the strong knowledge of Bo Wen, it's just that when I heard the real appearance of this knife in Chaoge, it seems that Xu Xiao personally handed it from the waist of a Yelu prince on the grassland in the early years. It was picked off, and Yang Yuanzan left another one at the mouth of the gourd last year."
She said with a sneer: "Of course the lord has outstanding military exploits, not inferior to his father's generation, but there is no need to use this saber to remind outsiders."
Xu Fengnian shook his head with a smile and said: "The Princess is thinking too much. If this king wants to show off his power with you, he will not meet the four of you here. Since you came from Youzhou, wouldn't it be easier for me to let you go straight to Hulukou save trouble?"
Fan Bainu stood up abruptly.
Xu Fengnian turned a blind eye to it, and when he reached out to pick up the wine glass, he said flatly: "I have traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou City, and the princess wants to sit down after leaving the table, but it is not as easy as before."
She smiled slightly, turned her head and said something in Beimang language to the knife-wielding Xue Wei who was hiding her identity, and the latter strode towards the gazebo, and she sat down calmly again.
Xu Fengnian asked straight to the point: "I am very curious, who is the big man who made the princess go south?"
She also replied bluntly: "It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xu Fengnian wasn't too surprised, so he hummed, "Then how much did he offer to buy the throne of your Emperor Beimang?"
Fan Bainu shook his head and said: "My lord's words are biased. Who will sit on the Beimang Dragon Chair in the future? The decision made by the lord today will indeed have a considerable impact, but it will not reach the meaning of the lord's words. to that extent."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Isn't it? Then what is the princess risking beheading to come to Beiliang to drink the northwest wind?"
Fan Bainu hesitated to speak.
The servant girl who had been watching the tea and concentrating on making the tea, after dividing the pots, was supposed to serve the tea, but she didn't dare to disturb the two parties, and seemed a little embarrassed.
Xu Fengnian made a timely rescue and said: "Princess, this is the new tea from Chunshen Lake this year, you can try it, but Liangzhou is not as good as Lingzhou, and there are not many wells, let alone looking for mountains and forests, so the princess will just drink it. "
Fan Bainu took the seventy percent full teacup with three fingers, bowed his head and took a sip.
Her waist is always straight.
She is of course a charming stunner, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable cool demeanor all over her body.
And this kind of aura that can reject ordinary people thousands of miles away is exactly in the arms of a certain type of superiors.
I believe that almost all men, when choosing between the princess and the maid, will choose the former.
It's just that Xu Fengnian's eyes were always clear, and he didn't pay attention to the cowardly Xue Wei who was standing behind Princess Qingluan holding his knife and looking down.
After she gently put down the teacup, Xu Fengnian said, "At first I thought it was Yeludong bed's instruction. After all, before returning to Beimang, this person made a special trip to Wudang Mountain to meet me with Deng Mao's company. He also drove For one price, Hong Jingyan’s Rouran Iron Cavalry was able to leave Hulukou with a complete system. Firstly, of course, he avoided fighting wisely. Mainly because Yang Yuanzan's main force is unwilling to waste troops on Rouran's iron cavalry. The king is so honest with each other, and behind the princess is His Royal Highness the Prince of Beimang who is more experienced than Yelu Dongbed. The next offer , I don’t think it should be lower than Yeludong’s bed at all.”
This news was earth-shattering in the ears of Princess Beimang.
It's not surprising that Yelu Dongchuang has ambitions, but before the dust of the first reckless battle has settled, he has dealt face-to-face with the King of Beiliang. Between the two surnames, there will inevitably be an unprecedented bloodbath.
As a result, Xu Fengnian's next joke didn't make her feel the slightest bit ridiculous, but she felt chills all over her body.
"For example, when I was the idler His Royal Highness back then, when I met those rangers who mistakenly thought they were masters of the rivers and lakes, I admired them very much. If they received less money, I would not only be unhappy, but even angry, thinking that I looked down on them. The identity of the 'His Royal Highness'. So this time your Royal Highness sent the princess to Beiliang, you must bring enough 'money'."
She exhaled lightly, staring at the young feudal lord for the first time, or looking at the young man squarely for the first time, but she was not in a hurry to speak.
Suddenly, Xu Fengnian raised his head and looked at the two ordinary and timid Xue Wei outside the pavilion, "Huh? They have murderous looks."
Princess Qingluan was taken aback for a moment, then her expression changed drastically, and she immediately turned to look.
But under the watchful eyes of all the people in the pavilion, the two cowardly Xue Wei all looked blank.
In an instant.
Someone in the booth drew a knife out of its sheath.
With one strike, the power is not weaker than Gu Jiantang's Fang Cunlei.
