Chapter 173 old pawn

This side of the restaurant at first are still a little afraid of the knife boy, but when he got up, but also do not see how he was furious to let who look good, so stupid to hold the lute to tell the story of the woman’s side, naturally to be treated as a heart to save the beauty of the heroes but do not have the strength to pull out the sword to help the embroidered pillows, such a small courage of the rich boy, in the north of the Liang can be uncommon, that a few tables to throw the money to smash the people of the military gangsters most of the some family rely on, otherwise they would not dare to come to the restaurant to drink and eat meat to listen to the book. The most important thing is that they are not able to get the money from the people, otherwise they would not have dared to come to the restaurant to drink and eat meat and listen to the book, furthermore, they are responsible for monitoring the children and grandchildren in the city whether they violate the law and discipline of the soldiers, it can be said that as long as the boy dares to pull out the knife, they can be captured, and then thrown into the prison, dozens of whips, without two or three hundred silver do not want to fish themselves out of the house. Embracing the lute Eryu looked up at the lax-eyed gentleman, although the appearance has changed, but she is sure that he is him, that traveled to North Mang and her grandfather sat at the same table with the gentleman, I do not know how long, the self-proclaimed king of North Liang he seemed to wake up, dead eyes returned to the glittering, turned his back to her. Xu Feng Nian said calmly to Xu Yan Bing who exuded a look of relief, “Guard the gate, Huangfu Ping will arrive soon.”

The woman with green silk pulled up, summoning six phantoms still failed to stop the celestials from traveling far away, her face was odd, as if she had recognized this man for the first time. Xu Yan Bing wanted to speak again and again, in the end he didn’t make a sound, walked to the door of the restaurant, closed his eyes and stared, there were drinkers who sensed that the situation was not good, and wanted to wipe their feet, but just before they could get close to the door, they were given to be knocked out. Xu Fengyen slowly walked to the tables have risen up near the armored soldiers, fingers pressed a handle from the waist to unclasp resting on the table of the Northern Liang knife, that should be in the city to control the son of the world’s families of the Youzhou Rangers, make a milky effort were not able to draw away from the saber, more than a dozen of armored soldiers to a stout lieutenant as the leader, his eyesight is not bad, know that bumped into a solid goods, but also did not intentionally show weakness, sullenly said: “This gentleman, this Lieutenant Huang Yi, born in Yihe County Huang Clan, you weigh it yourself. You and I each give up one step today, this lieutenant can still treat you as a brother, out of this restaurant, you can drink again in the territory of Yihe County, to ensure that you do not need to spend a copper plate.”

Xu Fengyen said expressionlessly, “You can tell Huangfu Ping about this later.”

The lieutenant from Yihe County was shocked and was about to open his mouth when he heard a rush of hoof beats from outside the restaurant, listening to the horses to know the soldiers, this is the skill that all the old soldiers should have, this lieutenant, although his style is domineering, but he is not sloppy in his battlefield martial arts, even if the Youzhou soldiers are the second best in the territory of the border army, it’s still countless times better than that of the Greenland State. Lieutenant clenched his teeth, grim cold smile: “Youzhou general is the official big, but my father followed Yan generals south and north for many years, but not Huangfu Ping want to mess with can be messed with!”

Xu Yan Bing let Huangfu Ping, who was wearing the official uniform of a military general without armor, stride into the building, and for the second time today, he saw the Northern Liang Vassal King, and without words, he threw himself on the ground, kowtowed and knelt down.

Xu Fengyen lifted that ordinary Beiliang sword, ignoring the building full of appalled drinkers, walked to Huangfu Ping’s body, asked: “I only ask you, the matter of the restaurant, do you know?”

Huangfu Ping slumped to the ground and said in a trembling voice: “The official residence is only three and a half streets away from here, and the last general has heard about it! It’s just that as a general of Youzhou, the last general only dares to govern a state’s military affairs, and doesn’t dare to cross the line to meddle in a state’s political affairs.”

Xu Fengyen smiled, “What a competent general who abides by his duty, handing over the military power of Youzhou to you, it is hard for this king to be uneasy.”

The Yuzhou general, who was of the third rank and was so powerful that he couldn’t be more powerful, was lying on his back in such a way that he didn’t dare to breathe a bit. Xu Fengyen stretched out a foot, directly put Huangfu Ping originally close to the cold ground of the head a foot step down, thumping sound, the nearby spectators saw the Youzhou general’s face touching the ground, dripping blood, but this once in the early spring Hulukou parade on the stage on the general, is still a motionless. Xu Fengyen’s eyes looked indifferently at the back of Huangfu Ping’s head, muttering to himself, “Gave you the authority, since you don’t dare to offend, this king will do it himself.”

Xu Fengyen suddenly stretched out an arm, before he could knock to see the king of northern Liang’s lieutenant Huang Yi, robust body involuntarily was pulled forward a wretched stagger, the northern Liang knife out of its sheath, the ground more than a head, Xu Fengyen casually pushed away the decadence of the headless body of the front flopping, those who are even more stupid know that encountered the new king of the Liang armored soldiers, pulling out their swords to fight with each other is to kill are not dare to, the identity of the king of the northern Liang is enough to make them dare not move, not to mention that this private visit! The King of Northern Liang of Youzhou is said to be a master who killed the fifth raccoon of Tibing Mountain with his own hands. Their family backgrounds were inferior to that of Captain Huang Yi, and they had nothing to hold to save their lives, so they had no choice but to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. Xu Fengyen lifted up the northern Liang knife, the blade is as bright as a polished mirror, although it has not been replaced with the new nickname “Chongsun” of the sixth generation of the Liang knife, is still deservedly the world’s sharpest first sword, with Xu Fengyen’s fingers wiped, those kneeling riding armor one by one, the head crashed to the ground, together with the first victim of the lieutenant of the Yellow game, sixteen people, died in a clean sweep. Died completely. Xu Fengyen sheathed the cool sword in his hand and threw it at Huangfu Ping’s side, dropping a sentence in passing that you’ll be fine kneeling, then said to Xu Yan Bing, “Call the vice general of Youzhou, Le Dian, in.”

A green and strong general quickly walked into the restaurant, kneeling near Huangfu Ping, did not dare to look at the scene of split bodies all over the ground, not to mention to look at that under the kneeling black pressure a large number of drinkers, only to listen to the king of Beiliang lightly put down a sentence of speech, “all people in the building, family property copied, as long as it is a government official in the body, immediately dragged out to be killed. These ranger bodies on the ground, you send someone to hang on the shadow wall of the Youzhou general’s residence, you put the word out, the king is sitting on the general’s residence, who wants to see the king, collect the body or not, plead for mercy or not, the general’s residence door over there will not stop.”

Xu Fengyen walked over and took Eryu’s hand and walked out of the restaurant, the woman was holding the lute in her arms, she was eerily speechless.

Sitting in the carriage, slowly driving towards that Youzhou general’s residence, Xu Fengyen was sitting upright, didn’t bother to look at the woman, just softly said, “It’s not worth it to speak for me. I just this trip out-of-body travel, is to know your grandparents, a ride on the life, a ride on the chastity of the woman, or to speak for the Northern Liang, worth it or not, I went to a lot of places, the answer is no, until the last place, saw a family who do not know what the world’s situation only know the hard working people of the Northern Liang, only to feel that a lot of things can not talk about the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value of the value. I have already sorry you, can not go to apologize to those good people. Er Yu, I don’t dare to expect you to open your mouth and ask me for a return, in order to make me feel at ease for a few minutes, I only want to promise you, and your dead grandfather, I will definitely defend the border, I just need to stay alive for one day, so that the people of Beiliang, such as you, will have one more day of peace and security, and one day is good.”

The bitter woman with no complaints and even less grievances, smiled sweetly, raised her head, looked at his side face, was about to speak out in honor of the King of Northern Liang, but immediately put it away, shook her head and softly said, “Mr. Xu, you don’t owe us anything. My grandfather said that you are a good person, and I also feel that this is the case, Er Yu believes that my grandfather will not feel any regrets if he knows in his grave. I won’t go to the general’s mansion, let me get off?”

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at this young girl. Her smile was clean, her eyes clear, and she covered her mouth and laughed softly, “Did Mr. Xu forget? Er Yu only speaks books to people ah.”

The carriage stopped, the young girl jumped off the carriage and walked out for a distance, turning around, she held the pipa in her arms and slightly curtsied towards the carriage side to give a million blessings.

The huh girl, who had been jumping on a nearby roof, squatted down, crouched on the tiles, carrying the withered pole of sunflowers that she was unwilling to leave, and was silent.

Six Jeweled Bodhisattva waited for the young girl to be far away before entering the carriage and sitting opposite this Northern Liang King, who rested his fists clenched on his knees and said in a deep voice, “Get out!”

The woman Immortal Master of Ragged Mountain did not get angry, but instead calmly said, “Self-containment is a small self-containment, there is still a great self-containment to seek.”

Xu Fengnian raised his head and sneered, “Get out of your mother’s big self!”

This day Youzhou general’s residence, one after another will kind of family went to either collect the body and or advise, then the shadow wall of the more and more corpses hanging, Yihe Huang is a breath of half dead, soon Yihe outside the city of a series of mutiny to blow up the camp, the vice general Le Dian led a thousand elite soldiers to kill the hands of the soft, kill to the end, can not bear to lift the sword, is a very strange to the Youzhou for the man with a spear to take the place of the work, and then killed to the Youzhou The two lieutenants also almost mutinous behavior to the point of pulling out the camp rushed to the state capital of Youzhou demonstration, Huangfu Ping’s troops had to surge from 1,000 riders to 3,000, continue to infighting on the kill, the victory or defeat is no suspense, the two lieutenant’s head to hang in the city of Yihe city wall of the main gate, and then killed to the majority of the Yihe power and wealth of the rich and powerful either kneeling in the street outside of the general’s mansion, “forcing the palace”, or escape from the city! “or escape from the city to unite the in-laws and powerful nobles outside the city, together with all kinds of ways to force pressure on the person, the city’s powerful nobles without exception were stripped of the official body, all copied into the army, so much so that Huangfuping and Le Din’s battalion of soldiers also have people defected. At the end of the spring of the first year of Xiangfu, this top-down turmoil in Youzhou did not see any sign of calming down, because the military and political circles in Youzhou thought that the violent backlash had attracted eight thousand great snow dragon riders from Liangzhou! Deep into the hinterland of Youzhou. Coupled with Ling Zhou Wang Zhi’s newly added 3,000 full-fledged troops pouring out to attack the border of You Zhou! Not to mention the Tongmen Pass Captain Xin Yanma, who has never been out of the pass, has also sent out with 6,000 elite cavalry in a hurry. On top of that, Northern Liang’s General Chu Lushan personally deployed his troops, ordering Ning Emei to lead half of the Iron Butte’s heavy cavalry and 2,000 White Feather Crossbow Riders, and set out in force, stationing himself on the western edge of Youzhou, watching intently.

If the Huaihua general Zhong Hongwu was once the shadow master of half of Lingzhou, then Youzhou from the border army to the territory of the garrison, from beginning to end are considered Yan Wenluan general’s private retainer, known as the eight hundred generals of Youzhou, the vast majority of them are considered to be Yan Wenluan, the old head of the disciples of the children and grandchildren, their increasingly fierce resistance, finally let an old man sitting at the border can not help but he did not rise up to lead the army But he did not raise a large army and lead the troops southward, just light car simple, quietly came to the Youzhou Yihe City, the carriage parked outside the city, the blind old man walked into the city alone, walking in the street full of murderous air, the old man has been walking to the general’s mansion which has a heavy and incomparably bloody atmosphere. The old man had thought that the young madman will be arrogant to refuse to receive, even cleanly on the ground to capture him as the Northern Liang infantry leader, the least will also be hung out to dry him for a few days and nights before letting him enter, but the old man guessed wrong, the young man was sitting alone on the steps outside the mansion, seems to have been waiting for their own.

After the death of the human butcher, the old general whose prestige in the Northern Liang army was already unrivaled questioned, “Xu Fengnian! Why?”

Xu Fengyen caged his sleeves with both hands, did not bother to look at this Yan Wenluan who was bent on having Xu Snapdragon ascend to the throne and become the emperor back then, looking at the end of the street, he calmly said, “In the past, I have heard of a saying that the surname of Lingshou is Zhong, the surname of Youzhou is Yan, and only Liangzhou has the surname of Xu, which Xu Snapdragon has never put in his mind, which I know, and you, Yan Wenluan know it, but Zhong Hongwu might not know it too much, because as soon as Zhong Hongwu heard the imperial court As soon as Zhong Hongwu heard that the court not only intends to cultivate his son Zhong Chengxin, but also give him a great general, as long as the restoration of Western Chu rose up, Zhao room promised him to bring troops for the King of Huainan Zhao Ying, to share the spoils, so he began to incite the fire on Youzhou, wanting to pull you into the water, and then he took advantage of the chaos and fled from the northern Liang. These days, I’ve been having Eagle Falcon keep an eye on you, but you never moved, and in the end, you only entered Yihe City alone.”

The old general said angrily, “The great general can still not oppose Liyang for his entire life, I will not oppose Northern Liang for my entire life since! What kind of dog shit is he Zhong Hongwu, can he be compared to me, Yan Renmou? You Xu Fengyen are so impatient for me Yan Wenluan to roll away from the border, so that your beloved can take up the position? Do you really think that Yan Wenluan is greedy for power because he’s holding on to his position as the commander of the infantry? Do you really think that anyone can sit on this chair, and anyone can sit securely? If not I respect you Xu Fengyen still have the courage not to receive that bullshit imperial decree, finally did a thing that has not insulted the general of the right thing, has long led the army 100,000, a move to the south, when the cavalry army infantry split, what do you when the king of Beilang? What will you take to resist the stupid Northern Mang iron cavalry?!”

Xu Fengnian smiled, “I know the old general won’t do that.”

The old general was so exasperated that he was almost about to make a move and slap this cunning brat to death.

Xu Fengyen patted the steps beside him, signaling the old general to sit down and talk and chat, Yan Wenluan grunted coldly, Xu Fengyen didn’t insist, and continued, “My master fought with Bieye’er for the entire second half of his life, does the old general know which point of Zhang Julu’er my master admires the most?”

Mentioning Li Yishan, Yan Wenluan’s emotions smoothed out a few points.

In the entire world, Li Yishan is the most blameless in Northern Liang.

Although Yan Wenluan was the backbone of Yangcai Zhao Changling’s line of martial arts generals, for Li Yishan who was only a different path, he still did not have half a bit of disrespect.

Xu Fengyen said softly: “Not what the old general imagined Zhang Julu to repair the Zhao family world is flourishing, nor is it his sole control of the temple power of the wrist, but when he made a fortune but not yet accomplished the great power, he moved his parents and family to the city of Tai’an as early as possible, and did not give anyone the opportunity to accuse him of Zhang Julu, because this chief minister of the Lord at that time, already knew that, as long as he became the head of the world’s The first official, no matter how clean he is, after all, he still has a family, there are relatives, there are children, once the two sides are thousands of miles away, there will always be someone to borrow his name in the local authority, even if all the people up and down the field can only be slandered, still do not dare to impeach in front of the impeachment, but the support of Zhang Julu governance of the world of the stock of the air, inevitably, it is going to be weaker. So this is my master most admire Zhang Julu place, and then look back at our Beiliang, Xu Snapdragon, my master, in fact, do not expect all of you have Zhang Julu such breadth of mind and vision, Xu Snapdragon before his death, but also do not rest assured, said to me to have a heart to tolerate others to tolerate others to make a mistake, before, I do, in the officialdom of Lingshou, I endured, did not kill people, not killed a single one. ”

Yan Wenluan’s face was still gloomy, just a point or two better than before.

Xu Fengyen continued to say to himself: “But I found that Xu Snapdragon is not wrong, but also not all right, the Beilang under our feet, nominally is the Xu family, in the end it is still the people of Beilang their own, I Xu Fengyen in fact can not mind at all how lawless you are, as long as to give me Xu family in the sands of the life of the enemy will be enough, I am the king of Beilang when this when the heart of the king of Beilang is also when the heart, maybe even thus in the heart of the king of Beilang, I can not mind, I can not mind. I’ll be the king of Beilang and I’ll be happy with that, maybe I’ll be able to make a name for myself in the history of the world, not to mention the history of the world, but in the history of the world, I might be lucky to have a few good things to say. They say that since I tied my head to the waistband of my pants and fought the world, then sitting in the world is what I deserve, I Xu Fengnian did not say that you shouldn’t enjoy the blessings, but enjoying the blessings is right, cherish the blessings is not a bad thing, right? Old General, you and I, or just talk to Xu Snapdragon, you state, Lingzhou, and Liangzhou, these generals’ descendants, how many of them treat the people as human beings? I am not staying in the Qingliang Mountain King’s residence to shut the door to talk about the sarcasm, but personally in the Youzhou walk and stop, which step by step to the Yihe City. In fact, I would like to say to all the officials of the Northern Liang Road, rely on their own skills as an official or rely on the shade of their fathers as an official, to enjoy the blessings, you relax and enjoy the blessings to go, do not harm people too much, just this kind of words, but can not be released to the public. And this kind of words, even if I sincerely say to Zhong Hongwu listen, he will only think it is a big joke is not funny, I can how? If he seeks death himself, I’ll just have to let him die, oh right, the person who denounced Zhong Hongwu is none other than the Long Qing County County Guardian Lord, his son Zhong Chengxin.”

Yan Wenluan’s face was cloudy.

Xu Fengyen looked into the distance and bit his lip, “It’s Huangfu Ping’s fault for not being able to manage Youzhou, and it’s even more your fault, old general. Of course, if you can’t defend Northern Liang in the future, in the end, it’s still my fault.”

The old man hesitated and walked up the steps, sitting on his butt on the steps a few steps below Xu Fengnian’s feet.

Xu Fengnian suddenly laughed, “I heard Xu Snapdragon say that the old general had dreamed of riding a horse back then and strutting into the Tai’an City Palace like he did earlier when he entered the Northern Han Imperial City.”

The old man with his back to the King of Northern Liang grinned and laughed silently.

Xu Fengnian said softly, “This old general won’t be able to do it. However, I traveled out of my body a few days ago to the Beimang Palace, and it’s not much worse than Tai’an City, old general, why don’t you settle for the second best? Let’s strive to go there to steer our horses?”

Yan Wenluan turned his head and asked, “Really?”

Xu Fengnian smiled in turn and asked, “I just have this idea, as for whether or not I have the ability, old general, do you really think I can do it alone?”

Yan Wenluan froze for a moment, lowered his head, and cursed, “Damn it, the same as the Great General when he was young! Back then, he lied to me and said that as long as I mixed with him, I would be able to ride a horse until my ass was worn out. I was really stupid to take the bait …….”

Yan Wenluan paused for a long time, raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured, “But the Great General really didn’t lie to me, did he?”

The old man retracted his sight, stood up fiercely, and said in a deep voice: “If there really is that day, even if I, Yan Wenluan, am too old to ride a warhorse, I still hope that you, the King of Beiliang, will let someone carry me, and if I’m already dead, since the King of Beiliang can agree to give a coffin to Xu Yongguan, an old pawn of the Fish Drum Battalion, he wouldn’t mind carrying the coffin of Yan Wenluan, would he?”

Xu Fengyen followed and rose, calmly saying, “Xu Fengyen thanks Old General Yan.”

The old man walked down the steps, turned around, faced Xu Fenian, cupped his fists and said in a chorus, “Fish Drum Battalion Cavalry Pawn Yan Wen Luan, Xu Chung Guan Robe, see the King of Northern Liang!”

The old man then turned around and went straight away, leaving the Yi River, leaving Youzhou, far away from the border.

Xu Fengnian sat back on the steps and rubbed his cheeks.

On the side, Xu Yan Bing said with emotion, “When the battle of West Base Wall was fought, there were only sixteen people left in the Fish Drum Battalion, and even I didn’t know that Yan Wen Luan was one of them.”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “Xu Snapdragon didn’t even talk about it.”

Xu Yan Bing said, “Horse treading on North Mang, why don’t you count me in as well?”

Xu Fenian laughed, “It’s not like robbing a daughter-in-law, what’s there to rob.”

Xu Yan Bing laughed it off. Sitting near this Beiliang King, his eyes resolute, he slowly said, “Don’t worry, with you, Beiliang will have more than just 300,000 iron cavalry.”

The two were silent for a long time.

Oh girl didn’t know when she sat behind Xu Fenian, somehow that sunflower pole that followed him like a shadow was already nowhere to be found, she rested her hands on her cheeks and looked at his back peacefully and quietly.

“A million households in Northern Liang Senjie, how many of them have iron clothes wrapped in withered bones?”

Xu Yan Bing began to slap his knees and sing.

Magnificent.

Which young man doesn’t envy that green shirt and sword walking the river?

Which son does not long for that yellow sand miles fight fame?

“Good men, do not say that the world’s heroes into my frightened.

Little lady, don’t hide that adoration in your belly.

Come, come, come, try to hear who is playing the drum of beauty.

Come, come, come, try to see who is the human butcher in the world.

Come, come, try to ask who is with me to chase deer ……”
