Chapter 173 – Ballad
Already can see the Qinglong Stream that the free view, the boat and the raft together slowly docked, before the raft, Huang Baner bent down, turned his head to look at Xu Fenian, signaling to carry this brother, Xu Fenian smiled and shook his head. The old Taoist Zhao Xituan heart, Zhong Ding family, dumping cold-blooded, there are a few brothers so close to each other, think about it certainly have the Xu family thinning the reason, the second son of Xu Longxiang was born stupid, the two counties of course, is the life of the water to marry, in this way, the Northern Liang royal family, but in the incense on the link will not give outsiders to leave a gap to intervene, anyway, the board is the eldest son of Xu Fengyi hereditary recklessness, His Highness! How idle and unresponsive, there is no suspense. On the other hand, the first family of the Southern Kingdom of Tianshifu Zhao, although there is an ancestral motto “non-Zhao not Tianshi”, but fifty years ago there is Qi Xuanzheng force Tianshifu, and now in the generation of the word of the Immortal Dao, Mr. White Lotus, martial arts have Qi Xianman, are all outsiders, whether it is the chance or the Taoist law, Zhao’s family can not be shoulder to shoulder at all, the period of these years of hooking up with each other, may not be less than the world family, if it were not for the Tianshi family, the Zhao’s family would have been the most important family in the world. Less to go, if not the Tianshifu worried about the main weak branch strong, Zhao Danping why go to do that funny green rhetoric prime minister. In Zhao Xituan worried sigh, a group of people along the green slate path to the free view, in the past, the old master of the Taoist temple alone, there is no this slate road, Xu Longxiang on the mountain, an old man and a small idle, only paved and become. Zhao Lao Dao hesitated for a moment, approached the old man in sheepskin fur, and laughed in a low voice: “Old Li, goodbye ah?”
The old Sword God snorted coldly. Li Chun Gang this life twice to visit the Dragon and Tiger, not coincidentally are met by the age of Zhao Xituan, the results were deadbeat pestered, the first time or Zhao Xituan lead the way to the demon platform, for this year at the same time by the old master and Qi Xuan frame valued guy, Li Chun Gang talk about bad feelings, the Master of Heaven’s House one by one antiquated with the clay statues almost, neither immortal nor mankind, Li Chun Gang long ago scolded the inhuman not ghost, remembered The first time down the mountain, this fairy house Zhao family is not easy to emerge from a young Taoist who is not formal, they are dying to follow him to break into the world, with a few months.
Old Taoist Zhao shyly said, “Old Li, my martial arts is a hundred thousand miles worse than you, but how about this disciple of mine?”
Li Chun Gang thought of Jiang Nai, thought of his own bumpy road to accepting an apprentice, all of a sudden was poked in the dead center, was infuriated, pointed at Xu Feng Nian, stared at the nonsense: “Here, my new apprentice, even if Xu Long Xiang can be invincible in the future, do you think that he can beat the old man’s apprentice?”
Zhao Laodao at first just angry when the mountain yellow crown nuns heard Li Chun Gang on the mountain, each with a crazy like flocking to the devil under the platform, screaming with the immortal down to the general, Zhao Xituan self-confessed when he was young, I also counted the jade tree to a mess, although Li Chun Gang, this guy’s martial arts than their own so high, handsome so, fame so, this group of this should be purely minded to concentrate on the Yellow Court of the mother-in-law is not so! The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of a fight with him, and I thought he was a good guy, but he was a good guy, and I thought he was a good guy! But a thousand calculations, did not count on the old Li moved out of the son of His Highness, the old Taoist immediately deflated, can not be compared ah, Xu Longxiang even if really hard even Wang Xianzhi dared to pull down the horse, may be with His Highness play cross?
See Zhao Xi Tuan defeated, Li Chun Gang mood, patted the shoulder, comforted: “Xu Longxiang may be the reincarnation of Emperor Wu, this good thing, fingers plus toes counting, there must be a minimum of seven or eight hundred years have not appeared it, your kid is lucky, picked up a big bargain.”
The old sword god turned, smiled and said: “Married to the water spirit little daughter-in-law you honestly in the nest secretly happy, if you still dare in front of the old man Arthur, hmm?”
Hearing a rising tone of the word hmm, once with the sword god Li Chun Gang in the same era of their respective rivers and lakes at large, Zhao Xituan, immediately saw the wind at the helm of the fawning said: “Li old brother, this is said out of the ordinary is not it, our brother and sister can be a good many years of friendship.”
Li Chun Gang nonchalantly said: “Sense with the old man to set close, and you do not have half a coin of friendship.”
Zhao Xituan sighed with a despondent face. Embarrassed to stick the old Li’s cold ass, turned his head to measure the His Highness the son of man and horse battle, in addition to the old Li and a hundred light horsemen, as well as a few force is considered to be the top of the personal retainers, there is no more power to be driven. Look at the signs, there is no intention to make waves in Longhu Mountain? This is a good thing, otherwise poor Tao sandwiched in the middle of the two, inside and outside is not a thing. Zhao Xituan is muttering about his mind, glimpsed three women with curtain hats, and then saw the green-clothed maidservant behind His Highness, as well as the beauty of the cat, all of them are immortal women’s style, the old Taoist monk pondered His Highness, the blessing of this blessing, the southeast side, only the old man Xuanyuan, who enjoys the blessings of the land alone, and Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, who has picked up the world’s beauties and brought them into the palace, can be comparable. Xu Fengyen walked to the door of the Taoist temple, stopped, Zhao Xituan face embarrassed, self-confessed loss, it is not easy to go to the Xu Longxiang from the Northern Liang abduction to Longhu Mountain, the result is in this dilapidated Taoist temple in the head of the cultivation, really a little bit of face can not bear it, is thinking about how to explain to His Highness, did not want to think that the old celestial master as a high level of treatment of Xu Fengyen slowly turned around, face Zhao Xituan, a bow to the end.
Zhao Xituan’s hands were in a flurry, both with surprise and fear, he hurriedly assisted, “I can’t take your highness’ courtesy, it’s too heavy.”
Old Sword God cold eyes, the heart is still one or two points of surprise, Xu Fengyen’s heart how, weathered Li Chungang has long been touched through seven or eight, this is the next bow in the open, sincere, is to give enough face to Zhao Xituan and Longhu Mountain. Otherwise to Xu Fengyen soft and hard to refuse the pit stinky stone temper, no matter what you are Jing’an Wang Zhao Heng, what Jiangnan Taoist sub-group, messed with the head, is nothing more than a fight to the death to kill a fight. Fish Youwei will Wu Meiniang clamped between the chest, the white cat in a comfortable and cozy false sleep, half asleep and half awake, occasionally take the furry head rubbed a quite curved plump. Princess Jing’an didn’t know Zhao Xi Tuan’s identity, but only guessed from the words on the scene that the foolish young man was Xu Fengyen’s own younger brother, and would be the future Beiliang County King, she couldn’t imagine that two brothers in an imperial marquis’ family could be so amicable. As for why the titular young prince stayed with a scruffy old Taoist priest to cultivate in a broken Taoist temple at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Pei Nanwei did not bother to speculate.
What shocked Zhao Xituan even more was the next scene, after His Highness the son made a bow, followed by Ning Emei as the leader of the White Horse Guards they all held the hilt of the Beiliang sword with their right hand, their left hand crossed their arms across their chests, and retreated back one step at a time in order to show their respect.
The world knows that the Northern Liang iron horsemen, because of the war and arrogance, when the Spring and Autumn War, and Gu Jiantang or several major feudal lords military brigades along the way, are a horse first, no one dares to steal the road. Throughout the spring and autumn war, only a scholar led military brigade made great achievements, the Northern Liang army only gave way once. Within the Beiliang army, this tradition has been inherited and preserved, the small war heroes, all have to give way to the big war heroes, even the rank of the lieutenant, touching the outstanding elite armor, will autonomously give way. For example, with a barbarian head to accumulate reputation of the scouts, even if it is just a low-ranking armor, in the Beiliang military town, even if you run into the county guard level of the border officials, can not get off the horse, can not bend down, can be the official road first.
Zhao Xituan sighed in his heart, His Highness the son of the world has changed his nature, it is a good thing for himself, but for Longhu Mountain, especially the Heavenly Master, may not be a good thing ah. The old Taoist priest walked into the Taoist temple with his party in a complicated mood, Xu Fengnian, who was sitting with Xu Longxiang by the ancient well of Tongyi, smiled and said, “Trouble the old Heavenly Master to help arrange the Phoenix Character Camp.”
Zhao Xituan nodded, “This doesn’t require much from your highness, Longhu Mountain will naturally place it properly.”
Xu Fengyen joked, “I used to hear that this Taoist ancestral court Yuzhang Chenglin Xanadu is imposing, the ceremonial door is like a heavenly gate, but you, old celestial master, are here but your gate is cold and clear to a realm.”
Zhao Xi Tuan sweated and laughed: “Poor popularity, can’t do anything, let Your Highness laugh.”
Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, “Anyway, Huang Ban’er doesn’t care about this, I can see that he’s quite happy here, no worse than in the Beilang Royal Mansion. Isn’t that right, Huang Ban Er?”
Xu Longxiang grinned nervously.
This side of the conversation conversation mouths the highness Beiliang and that old heavenly master, the authorities of the cloud light, accustomed to it, the result of the outside of a pair of blindfolded Murong siblings to the frighteningly light. Although Murong Tong Huang has long been expected Xu Fengnian identity is very special, but no matter how to think big again, feel that can be ranked on a line with Chu Lushan have been shocked to the extreme, to the Spring and Autumn legacy of the people, specifically to the state, the most engraved on the Northern Liang army is undoubtedly the ghost city of Xiangfan, which was broken down after the massacre, but also is the western base of the wall is sitting in the sword state, Longhu and Xuanyuan east and west of each other, but will not forget the year when the Northern Liang iron armor bring the How will they forget the humiliation brought by the Northern Liang Iron Armor back then? Murong Wuzhu radiant, that is the wind and waves mistakenly thought to grasp a slender straw only to find that it is a sky-high tree of surprise, just like by chance to a poor scholar to fall in love with, elope only to suddenly realize that this scholar is actually the son of a powerful warlord. Murong Tong Huang couldn’t stop his body from trembling, his face flushed red, his eyes staring at His Highness the Prince in a complicated way.
To say that in addition to the master of that Wutong Palace far away in the sky, who in the world is the character that makes Jiangdong Xuan Yuan the most fearful, Northern Liang.
Horse treading on the rivers and lakes, the human butcher Xu Snapdragon.
Qingdao bird and fish young Wei went to the Taoist temple to clean up the house, Pei Nanwei people under the roof had to bow their heads, many times with the maidservant is no different, has long been resigned to fate. Ning Emei and the others were taken by the old celestial master Zhao Xituan to stay at the nearby Taoist temple, and the old sword god went to take a walk alone by the Qinglong Stream. As a result, only brothers and siblings with vastly different identities were left in the courtyard, Xu Fengyen stroked Huang Barbarian’s head and glanced at Murong Tonghuang who came looking straight at him, Murong Wuzhu was originally peeping at His Highness, but quickly looked down at his toes, His Highness said flatly, “Finally you know who I am?”
Murong Tong Huang bit his lips.
Xu Fengnian smiled, “Did you pee in fear?”
Murong Tong Huang was stunned.
Xu Fengyen laughed to himself, “If Wen Hua was there, he would definitely say that Laozi was scared shitless.”
Hearing this frivolous obscenity, Murong Wuzhu couldn’t afford to be disgusted, but was just too shy to bear it, red from ear to neck, not to mention not daring to look at the distinguished His Highness. Murong Tonghuang still managed to hold on, always locking eyes with Xu Fengyen.
Xu Fengyen thought about it and said with a bad smile, “I have a little grudge with the Xuan Yuan family, but you don’t think you can leisurely watch the big water on the well, when the time comes to go to the bullock dagang to disgust Xuan Yuan’s big family, trouble your siblings to cooperate, show some closeness to me, your siblings to commit to a little bit.”
Murong Wuzhu quietly raised his head and quickly lowered it.
Murong Tong Huang opened the door and asked, “Are you really the Northern Liang Shi Zi? The first eldest son of the King of Northern Liang?”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “Otherwise I would dare to take a hundred light cavalry to slaughter twenty Xuan Yuan cavalry?”
Murong Tong Huang smiled, truly more charming than a woman, and walked leisurely towards His Highness, the World Son.
Xu Fengyen hurriedly raised his hand, frowned: “Don’t come to this, I can’t stand it, I’m being winked at by a gentleman how is it. Well, at that time to go to the Hui Mountain, or your sister a point of condescension on the line, said in advance, as I mooching, this point is not negotiable. But if you have the cheek to snuggle up next to me, always feel that you are mooching, we both have goosebumps.”
Murong Wuzhu covered her mouth and let out a soft and light broken laughter.
Murong Tong Huang froze for a moment and turned around.
Murong had male and female, a laugh and a cry.
Perhaps to outsiders it was nothing more than a cry and a laugh, but to the Murong siblings, it was a bitter mourning that had simmered for a whole decade after they understood.
Xu Fengnian calmly said: “Don’t be in a hurry to be thankful, the reason why I helped you is that I just feel sorry for you. Of course, if you want to feel that there is no way to return the favor, it is also possible to give your body in return.”
Murong Wuzhu summoned up the courage to raise her head, and looked at her in a daze.
Xu Fengyen smiled, but soon couldn’t laugh, both cheeks clear of tears Murong Tonghuang turned her head and asked, “Can’t I?”
Xu Fengyen’s heart to kill was there, made a chopping gesture and said angrily, “Murong Tong Huang, if you fucking dare to disgust me again, I’ll click you there! When the time comes to go to Wutong Palace in the capital, I’ll make sure you’re on the right side of the name.”
Xu Fengnian’s heart snapped, remembering the prophetic song.
Tilting the country?
Back then, the eight countries, a feat that millions of armored soldiers couldn’t do, could it be that this guy could really do it?
