Chapter 020 – Killing people to enjoy the snow
In the first month of the new year is again over the river of distinguished visitors one after another with gifts to the door, Lingzhou pastor Yan Jiexi and children arrived together, Fengzhou assassination governor Li Gongde followed, naturally brought along the reputation of the strange baby son Li Hanlin. Because of the two sons and His Highness is a childhood friend of the reason, the two state pastor adults have a deep relationship, has been fortunate to be the king of Beiliang high regard, the governance of the occasional mistakes in the government, are able to be gently brought by the great pillar.
Among them, Yan Jiexi also has an advantage that outsiders can not envy, Yan state pastor has a talent and appearance are first-class daughter, even the great pillar country are praised, personally commented on “stability and peace, the exhibition of the generous ocean,” many people were convinced that this woman will enter the Beiliang King’s House, it is estimated that His Highness is too loose point, there has been no substantial movement.
Today the big pillar country personally received two state pastor, Li Hanlin’s ass can not sit, has long been stupid, the big pillar country waved a big hand and said a roll word, Li Hanlin immediately as if amnesty pulling not forget to bow and salute the diehard Yan Chi set run out.
Fengzhou pastor Li Gongde long pouting short sigh, this brat is too inappropriate, the big pillar state smiled and said that Hanlin this nature is good, Li Gongde only then relieved, the big pillar state light sentence, can be more useful than the state scolded a hundred times.
Yan Jiexi daughter Yan Dongwu also politely excused, to go to the house for a walk. The woman who can get the praise of the Great Pillar State is very rare, she was recognized by the Northern Liang scholars, “female scholar”, zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song are proficient in everything, the instrument color Shao Chieh, bright and beautiful, if not by the Northern Liang the first wonder woman Xu Weixiong pressed a chip, but also famous.
But since the first time she saw Xu Fengyen, she has no good feelings, the son of his highness as the empty stomach of the straw man, and never hide. And Xu Fengnian is a pinpoint, said Yan Dongwu is a reputation of the female Lu ghost, on the surface of the peace, in fact, the city of the world, looks gentle and harmless, but the knife, who married her is to hold a sharp knife home, the family is unfortunate.
In short, the two have not been dealing with these years, each other do not see eye to eye, can not meet on not meet, so each other, meet do not greet. Her younger brother Yan Jiexi had hoped to be close to Feng’s brother, and then saw that it was hopeless, but also dead.
In the twilight, Yan Dongwu walks on the path through the secluded, heart sneer, this half a year do not hear His Highness the son of the world strange, I heard that it is forbidden to read the sages, she does not believe that the great pillar state can forbid Xu Fengnian’s feet, may be again broke into what a big trouble.
Yan Dong Wu heard a burst of conspiratorial words, “Yo, this girl has good courage, dare to tour single in Xu straw bag’s territory, not afraid to be robbed by that straw bag to wantonly abuse?”
She didn’t need to raise her head, she knew that it was that deadly rival of fate, His Highness, who couldn’t do anything great on the exam.
Yan Dongwu did not bother to pay attention, accelerating her steps, wanting to leave as soon as possible, out of sight, out of mind.
Xu Fengyen relentlessly blocked in front of her, not a proper form of teasing: “Girl, do you want me to protect your flowers? Don’t be poisoned by the hands of the Xu straw bag, when the chastity is not guaranteed, who to marry you? I heard that there is a small prince in the capital who is in love with you, is it possible that you are preparing to be a royal consort?”
Yan Dong Wu’s phoenix eyes stared angrily.
Her face cold, some small surprise in her heart, in front of the rogue goods more than three years do not see, seems to be dark and robust many, just can that share of the river and mountain easy to change the nature of the nose dude gas, or the same abominable. Her mind is delicate, see this Liangzhou biggest male brother not fancy sword, changed a knife, not sat on the waist, carry in the hand, not classy.
Yan Dong Wu retreated a step back, and Xu Feng Nian pulled away, mouth out of words ridiculed: ”Can’t learn that wearing a hideous big-faced swordsman’s skills, so you only have to learn the easiest to wear a sword? Your Highness Shizi is so ambitious!”
Xu Fengyen hmmm’d a few times, turned to carry Xiudong on his shoulder, resting his hands on it, showing more of a gangly demeanor, and said with a smile, “The female scholars have heard of that swordsman’s feat? Do you think I should go and reward him with thousands and thousands of taels of silver? I have heard that there will be a fight outside the city tonight, and I am looking for how much silver to bring, ma’am, you are quite good at calculating, do you want to give a plan to plan?”
Yan Dongwu sneered, “You dare to see that bloody scene? How much silver to give is your highness’s private matter, Dong Wu would like to kindly remind your highness to remember to bring an extra set of clothes.”
Xu Feng Nian tsked, “The female scholar is really calculating, all calculated that I am going to pee my pants, awesome, awesome. In the past, I said that you don’t care about yourself and don’t open your mouth when you ask and shake your head, but now it seems that I really misjudged you.”
Yan Dongwu lost patience with Xu Fenian and said in a cold and hard voice, “Get out of the way!”
Xu Fengyen hitched his embroidered winter sword and said in a dangling manner, “Female scholar, do you dare to go with me to meet that swordsman?”
Yan Dongwu categorically said, “I dare not!”
Xu Fengyen teased, “Are you afraid to see my ugly face, or are you afraid to see the swordsman and can’t help but run away with him? I heard Yan Chiji say that you always love to read some ranger’s biographies, so I really don’t wonder what kind of hero is behind that hideous big face?”
Yan Dongwu was revealed to be a private person, but without embarrassment, he remained silent.
Xu Fengyen said with a regretful face, “Forget it, it’s better for me to be happy than to be happy alone.”
Carrying the embroidered winter sword, he passed by Yan Dongwu.
Yan Dongwu suddenly wrinkled his nose, turned around and took the unprecedented initiative to ask: “Are you really going to be the wronged Good Fortune Boy?”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “There are two horses in the stables.”
Eventually, the two riders left the city.
Yan Dongwu, who wore a thick fur to hide her eyes, was furious in her heart as she galloped her horse, how could she have been mesmerized by this Xu? She had thought that there would be iron horsemen in the royal residence, but after 20 miles out of the city, there was still no sign of them, so she asked curiously and shouted, “Xu Fengyen, where are you taking me?!”
Xu Fengyen single-handedly carried his sword, turned his head and laughed: “After another twenty miles, you will know. Are you still afraid that I’ll take you to the middle of nowhere to have an affair? Don’t worry, the melon that is twisted by force is not sweet, this is a truth that I understand better than anyone else nowadays.”
In the starlight of the night, Yan Dongwu saw a face that seemed unfamiliar.
Traveled another twenty miles.
He saw a campfire flickering on the opposite side of a small hill.
Xu Fengnian took the lead and jumped onto the slope.
After Yan Dongwu steered his horse to the top of the slope, his face turned pale.
At the bottom of the slope, there were a dozen or so big men with big bowls of wine and big chunks of meat, all of them with gloomy faces, after seeing Xu Fengyen, it was like seeing a big fat goat, and then looking at Yan Dongwu who was dressed in luxurious clothes, his eyes were full of hot obscenity, after being thrown into this shit-hole of a place where he was scared and frightened, there was a tender and tender flesh of the beauty sent to his mouth, it was only a curse if he didn’t eat it.
Yan Dongwu looked at the side of Xu Fengyen’s face in a daze, this dude is going to take revenge on himself by using this vicious and underhanded method?
Xu Fengyen stared down the slope, gently laughed: “Miss Yan, don’t bite your tongue in a hurry, Xu Fengyen can’t be as dirty as you think, hand you over to a group of dead people, Yan Ji Ji will not be able to break up with me, how to calculate it is a loss of money to the grandmother’s house.”
Xu Fengnian exhaled a long breath, in the cold season, this white mist was especially clear in Yan Dongwu’s eyes.
Then she saw this wandering Shizi His Highness pull out a hideous mask from his bosom, cover his face, draw his sword, and thrust the sheath into the soil. A series of silent movements caused his entire aura to change instantly.
Yan Dongwu covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
It is a good time to kill, in the days of drifting snow, the body will soon become the eaves of the house ice cream general, does not show dirty, especially a puddle of dirty blood, frozen with the woman embroidery general, this makes the temporary killing can only speak of swift and fast Xu Fengnian is very pleased.
Four or five sets of kills, sloppy kills smoothly, there are some inconvenient to talk to people about the experience. But licking the blood walking in the jianghu, no one to support the confidant more lonely, otherwise why are the masters of the showdown picked on the roof of the mountain tops? The least is the crowded downtown?
Furthermore, Xu Fengyen has been displeased with Yan Dongwu for many years, displeased with the Yan family’s eldest lady’s attitude, her face and figure are actually very good, so he had bad intentions, and hooked her up to see the world. It was not easy to have a rare spectator other than the old Kui, Xu Fengyen felt the need to kill more attentively, more decisive and ruthless, and it was best to scare her out of her soul.
The leader of the bandits made a wink, let two powerful but not so beloved guys as the vanguard, they are naturally reluctant, I heard that on the mountainside, that special kill peer knife man’s hand is not gentle, the corpse is rarely complete.
But the chief has spoken: as long as you do away with the masked one, you can first taste the taste of that little bitch. This makes the two bandits who have been holding back for too long can’t even care about their lives, the key is that they were inexplicably thrown here, and then learned that as long as they kill the person who is going to kill them, they can be exempted from the crime of death, and get a huge reward not to mention that, but also can return to the army. This is a deadly situation of you die and I live, hot-headed, can not care a lot.
Embroidery winter and the hands of a fine machete collision, Xu Fengyen side sticky knife slipped, cut off the charging pawn several fingers, not waiting for that person crying parents, along the trend of a ruffled, will pick off a head.
Without stopping, Xiudong rolled over and killed the second rogue.
Xu Fengyen rushed straight into the formation.
Xiudong surged like a snowball.
Only a column of incense.
They died out, very few bodies were intact.
Xu Fengyen finally let out a long breath, the so-called one drum is extremely justified. Using a sword was the most avoidable thing to do with a flurry of qi, he was beginning to understand it somewhat.
Xu Fengyen took off the fanged green face that covered his face, his qi changed again, reverting back to that dangling handsome male, only to see him lightly shaking his wrist, flinging the beads of blood on the embroidered winter knife on the snow, lifting the knife up the slope.
Sitting on the back of the horse, Yan Dongwu shivered, gritted his teeth and insisted, seemingly refusing to lose the lofty aura he had accumulated over the years. Xu Fengyen glanced at her and wiped the embroidered winter knife on the fox-white fur that was worth thousands of gold on her body, leaving slight traces, a rough action that frightened the golden branch and jade leaf to cry out in shock, her delicate body shaking.
Xu Fengyen no longer scare this intelligent mind a blank of the great lady, will embroidered winter knife inserted back into the scabbard, walked a few steps, turned over on the horse, gently said: “Back.”
Returning to the city for forty miles, Xu Fengyen was in the front, Yan Dongwu with mediocre riding skills was in the back, following fortunately.
Xu Fengnian on horseback spent most of the time with his eyes closed, breathing long and hard.
Practicing the sword and killing people was only a secondary thing, the real sharpening was still waiting for him in the small courtyard of the royal palace.
The city gate lieutenant recognized His Highness’s face with his eyes wide open, and was busy yelling to open the city gate, fearing that if he annoyed this Northern Liang Demon King, he would have to go home to raise chickens and plant a field. Xu Fengyin sent Yan Dachanjin to the state pastor’s residence and smiled, “This horse has to be returned to me.”
Yan Dong Wu dismounted and remained ladylike and reticent, Xu Fengyen was not amused, and when he bent down to take the reins from her, he took the embroidered winter knife sheath and slapped her buttocks, teasingly saying, “Soul gone?”
Yan Dongwu’s face huffed.
Xu Fengyen took the embroidered winter knife and hooked up her delicate chin, slowly said, “Your father has a letter sent to Wang Taibao in the capital, which is on Xu Snap’s desk. So you put your foot down to take a trip out of the city to enjoy the snow with my virtue-less and classless Shizi Highness, and you didn’t go in vain.”
Yan Dong Wu’s eyes were flustered.
Xu Fengyen laughed frivolously and threw the green noodles in his arms to her, “Miss Yan is so appreciative tonight, as a return gift, I’m giving it to you. If you get annoyed with me again in the future, take it out.”
