Chapter 080 – The Leaves Are Red

Xu Fengyen quietly returned to Qingliang Mountain, just as Fan Xiaochai intuitively predicted, North Mang indeed began to drive troops south, and still divided into three, each pouncing on the three states of LiangYueLiu, which is different from the original North Liang side of the difference between the expectations, because the enemy camp more than a temporary seize the power of the throne of fat man dong, living in the south of the court of the king’s seat, because of the north of the court of the king in the death of xu huainan has been hanging empty, the original even can not even be said to be a big official of dongzhuo became a person under the top of the people, and the people. The North Mang this army, Xu Fengyen is not sure whether it is from the Taiping order to strategize the elaborate handwriting of the North Liang, or Dong Zhuo deliberately for the nonsense, many times it is said to respond to changes, is a smart person good at the stupid method, but this involves the final pattern of the two dynasties in the military affairs, like the masters, not only than the competition of the depth of internal strength, but also to test both sides of the heart of the set the trap, especially for the Avoid being greedy and losing big, winning a series of battles but losing the big picture of the previous experience, do not have to go too far to turn over the history books, close to the feet of the Spring and Autumn period, the reason why Xu Fengyen has such a headache, in the final analysis, or the bottom of the family of Northern Liang is far less than the Northern Mang, Muyong empress can be confident that the three ways of blossoming, one side of the Tuoba Bodhisattva led the army suppression of those prairie grasslands in North Court big Xixi ticks, while the South Dynasty elite cavalry army with “Ruffling” Beiliang, and even can be divided into a large number of people to the eastern front, Gu Jiantang single-handedly built out of the two Liao border eyeing, of course, fools also know that the final confrontation on the eastern front, Liyang and Liangmang three parties are aware of, just to put on a show, otherwise it would not have even the three trade towns in the northern pass of Jizhou have not been closed. Sitting alone in the pavilion in the heart of the lake, Xu Fengyen thought of this, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but raise a bitter smile, he here took out the soldiers to force Tai’an City to give in, had to relax the embargo on the grain into the Liang, as well as a disguised recognition of the flow of the state’s rightfulness and the unauthorized official position of Song Dongming, the imperial court immediately returned the favor, and simply did not even bother to look for a piece of cloth to cover up the shame, it is said that the border trade in the north of the state of JiZhou is more than the usual many more bustling, while That was once threatened by Xu Fengyen to peel the skin off Yuan Tingshan, in the changing winds and clouds, after being thrown into the border of Jizhou by his righteous father Gu Jiantang, but also a rising star, and now have already achieved the hands of 4,000 northern artichoke old pawns pounding the horse colonel, under the command of the size of the guards of the E Fort more than 20, while at the same time, the three counties of the ruling power, the jurisdiction of the frontier more and more towards the north of the Liang closer and closer to the son of the hands of the huge power, almost equivalent to half of an assassin plus a solid power general, which is undoubtedly the most powerful general in the world, and the most important thing is that he has been a great leader in the north of the country. This is undoubtedly a kind of silent mockery of Xu Fengyen, the Northern Liang Vassal King, by the Zhao family in Liyang. Especially after Li Huoli, the eldest son of Yan Castle in Jizhou, died violently in Quick Snow Villa, Yuan Tingshan, who is very popular in the border area of Liyang Dynasty, is going to become the son-in-law of Yan Castle and marry the famous woman nicknamed “Li’s Falcon”, and Yuan Tingshan has a close relationship with Zhao Wu, the grand prince of Liaodi, so Yuan Tingshan has already had his wings enriched, and even Tai Liang’s family has been very close. It can be said that Yuan Tingshan has already had his wings enriched, and even the Tai’an City dignitaries no longer simply regarded Gu Jiantang’s son as idle, Yuan Tingshan, as a lost dog, has just spent two years, and has just become a shining star of the dynasty, and there are even people who have secretly pushed Yuan Tingshan to the position of being regarded as Xu Fengyen’s arch-enemy.

Xu Fengyen sat on a bench in the pavilion, two boxes of chess on his knees, holding a dozen rounded and lovely chess pieces, over time, soaked with his body temperature, no longer cool.

Xu Fengnian thoughts drifted to the seat of that childhood deep inside both hate and fear of that Tai’an City, smiled, just like when he was a child, he always felt that Qingliang Mountain is already the highest mountain under the sky, and so out of Liangzhou City, only to know that Wudang eighty-one peaks, out of the Northern Liang, but also to witness many majestic mountains and broad waters, with the increase in experience, when many deeply rooted thoughts of the heart thoughts can not help but lighten up.

Shangyin Palace of Science, Qi Yanglong, a great priest into the city of Tai’an, and then the slow-witted officials, but also perceived a hint of the wind and rain to come, Qi priests, although temporarily only in the State Children’s Palace as an idle errand, the rank of the official rank and even far worse than the right priest Jin Lanting this post-graduate, even more difficult for people to figure out is that the State Children’s Palace jurisdiction of the seven schools, in the Ministry of the Gu Jiantang out of the Ministry of War to be able to pass through the new martial arts, and the learning of the high Qitian Gao! Qi big priest, even on the side of the least popular martial arts supervisor, on the flow of goods, barely with the State Children’s College straight talk equivalent, on the original seat in the State Children’s College chair, the door of the cold down of the martial arts master, compared to quite powerful State Children’s College officials, difference of a whole capital Royal Road so far, but in fact, those days ago is still considered the capital of the stream of celebrities straight talk to Qi Yanglong mention shoes are not worthy of this period of time. Not to mention the State Children’s Palace to Jin Lanting as the head of the six school size officials nearly 100 people, even the State Children’s Palace of tens of thousands of students are anxious red-eye, the family family belongs to the top high-grade, overnight from the State Children’s Palace of the Imperial College into the martial arts, the family is only counted as the middle of the capital, they do not need to cry to enter the martial arts, the family’s fathers and mothers have long since started to point the doorway with the silver to send the silver commonplace, but the Liyang dynasty is so strong, created a thousand years have not been The situation of the world’s prosperity, the capital is rich people gathered in the world’s best city, who still do not have a few rare paintings and calligraphy? Especially those that are printed by someone with the word “fake”, is the best knock on the door to smoothly enter the Ministry of Rites of the big men of the best knock on the door, do not care how the people of the capital mouth how to scold the young man in the territory of Beilang, involved in the authenticity of the authenticity of the matter, that guy’s discerning eye is very convincing, as long as he wasted spoiled as “fake” of the object, ten percent ten is the The real thing. Besides, although the young man’s surname is Xu, not Zhao, but now at least has become a serious side of the feudal king, and won the recognized invincible Wang Laoqi, as long as there is his seal, regardless of whether it is a square or round, a painting or calligraphy, in the capital here on the board will be able to sell a person smacked his lips sky-high price.

Xu Fengyen can’t talk about any feelings on this matter, more still concerned about the “Dragon and Deer Contest” of the killings, according to the secret report, this is praised as a person can be a million armor of the great priest, is not really in the martial arts in the State Children’s Palace of that acre and a third of the land of the small, but began to start compiling a new scripture under the authorization of the Prince of Zhao, even as a government official, for Zhao’s son, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture, the new scripture. Even as an official, for the first time the Zhao family complete exposition of Confucian saints scriptures, seemingly for the imperial examinations to add flowers, in fact, is to shake the foundation of Zhang Lu, this time Qi Yanglong led the compilation of the classics, just look at the auxiliary arm of the two people can be seen in the emperor’s degree of importance, science master of the State Children’s Elementary School left priest Yao Baifeng, the imperial family relatives of the University of the University of the Yan Jiexi, both of which are only the auxiliary compilation of the official of the Qi Yanglong. Is Qi Yanglong really just compiling a few volumes of books? He was making rules for all the readers in the world for hundreds of years from today.

Xu Fengyen gripped the chess pieces in his hand and said to himself: ”It’s good that Biyaner lost, anyway, Zhang Lu has always been hostile to Northern Liang, if Qi Yanglong can still suppress Biyaner, the situation of Northern Liang will only get worse and worse in the future, right? Is it possible to expect this Qi saint, who is destined to accompany the temple, to look at Northern Liang differently? Mr. Wang, who lost the debate between the heaven and the earth, said that Qi Yanglong has always had a deep sense of hatred towards all the feudal lords, including Beiliang, and said ‘it’s okay to seal the king, but it’s not okay to split the earth’. A look is a for the king to seek imperial teacher goods ah, but compared to his student Xunping, Qi Yanglong this teacher is undoubtedly much more sophisticated and smooth, know what should not go out of the mountain when it should go out of the mountain, in any case, alone and to help the world, are what he said. First the Northern Mang Peace Order, then Qi Yanglong, can’t there be a few less opponents like this?”

Xu Fengyen sighed and withdrew his sight, Tai’an City does not let people worry about it, the Beilang Royal Mansion under his own feet is not a scene of a small courtyard dissolving the moon and shallow pools with a light breeze ah.

Qingliang Mountain up and down know came a hot big shot, is a from Jiangnan Road Luming County readers, not heard much before, inexplicably became the Deputy Secretary of the North Liang Road, which in the Liyang Dynasty dozens of Road is unprecedented high-grade official position, as a matter of fact should be the third grade and from the second grade in a, can be Tai’an City, Zhao room to turn a blind eye to this, neither reprimanded nor recognize it, seems to have decided to let this side of the North Liang, the king’s residence. It seems that they have decided to let the Northern Liang side fool around. Rumor has it that, Lingzhou Golden Wisp Weaving Bureau of the master Wang Luting big headache, do not know how to sew a meet “Deputy Secretary of the Lord” in line with the appropriate official robes, the official patch in the end is a product of the crane or the second grade peacock, so far, are still not sure. Qingliang Mountain has long seen this is not strange, the previous two age is even younger readers, from the North Mang Chinese Xu Bei Hoven is already the main official of Lingzhou, even the cold commoner son Chen Xiliang also became the flow of the state Qingcang city of the city pastor, and then a sudden power of the Song family of readers, but also so, not to mention that I heard that this person in the court pillar have surfaced and then carry the beam of the Yonghui years, and the current storage of the Prime Minister of the head of the Yin Maochun also contested for the first prize. The scholar, so a man of the wind, the start is going to be too much higher than Xu Chen two people, Beiliang nowadays, the change of atmosphere, the status of the readers gradually rise, has been the general trend, for the Deputy Secretary Song Dongming’s emergence is not so much gossip, when Xu Chen two people in this matter is to eat a lot of pain. Good in the Qingliang mountain even if it is a horseman cook, that is also seen the role of the world, for the arrival of Song Dongming, there is not too much to explore the mind, Song Dongming into this is located in the northwest of the dynasty’s magnificent Wang Fu, neither when Xu Beihao that debauchery and leisurely days, but also unlike Chen Xiliang as living in the depths of simple and very difficult to meet, there is no official robe, wearing an ordinary scribe shirt, usually live in the hillside a building of the elegant courtyard, consciously or unconsciously. Elegant courtyard, intentionally or unintentionally, enlisted a group of the original in the king’s house of the depressingly uninspired staff of the Qing guest, the small courtyard name HuaiGui, due to the harmonic HuaiGui, meaning is not good, it is easy to remind people of the “ill-intentioned” four words, taboo, so even if the view is very good, the weather when the bright, the window can be pushed to see the view of half of the city of LiangZhou, it is still After many years of abandonment, Song Dongming chose this place as a place to stay, and the servants in the residence only knew that he never set foot in the Wutong Courtyard where the “warbling swallows and swallows are in the red mud”, but there were often women in the Courtyard who held the power of the Phi Zhu to travel to and from the two places, and then unfamiliar faces constantly entered the Huai Gui Courtyard, with some of them leaving and some of them staying, the latter of which lived near the Huai Gui Courtyard, nestled in the hillside of a rolling courtyard. The latter lived in the courtyard stretched out on the hillside near Huai Gui Yuan, which could be very reminiscent.

Xu Fengyen is in deep thought, Song Dongming is not only to be used, and should be used greatly, just compared to the hearts and minds of Xu Beihao and Chen Xiliang, who are not complicated, Song Dongming will be too difficult to use.

Liang Mang war is imminent, as he is holding a large number of excellent texture of the chess pieces, the northern Liang also clutch a good chess pieces, military generals in the group of stars, Yan Wenluan, Jin partridge Zhou Kang, Gu Dazu, He Zhonghu, Chen Yuntui, Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong, Ning Emei, Wang Lingbao, Li Mofan, and so on, talented people, is simply inexhaustible. But what about civilian officials? Especially the kind of officials that can make the sun are greedy and salivating, only a few, not to mention with the Yong Hui years that a large wave of spring like the emergence of the temple loyalists, it is no wonder that the court of the sun like to sneer at the Northern Liang like to follow the example of the Xu Snapdragon crippled, and along with the entire officialdom of the Northern Liang is crippled, the civil-military imbalance, difficult to become a climate. Fighting, not that the martial arts can fight without fear of death on the line, especially the upcoming need to invest tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in a local battle, the literati first to do not drag their feet, if you can also complement the martial arts, can be a lot less deaths.

Xu Fengnian raised his head and frowned.

Only to see that from the foot of Qingliang Mountain, there were constantly fish eider crossbows shooting out into the air, the closer to this Listening Tide Lake where he, the King of Northern Liang, was taking a nap, the crossbows and arrows became more and more dense, after Xu Fengyen personally returned from Northern Mang carrying the two heads of Xu Huainan and the fifth raccoon of Tibing Mountain, the jianghu magnates who dared to the King’s residence of Northern Liang to carry out an assassination were completely vanished, after all, the jianghu people who were able to mix to the extent of making a name for themselves, regardless of the body of the After all, to be able to make it to the top, no matter how much hatred they have, they are not fools who are willing to throw themselves into the net, especially after Xu Fengyen’s battle with Wang Xianzhi proudly in the martial arts world, many of the dead warriors of the Chunqiu valves who have been hiding in Beiliang for many years, along with those who will be the kind of rich gentry to leave the country together in silence, this group of people is really disillusioned. Xu Fengyen can’t think of anyone who can completely hide his aura to the foot of Qingliang Mountain and then rise up and break into the mansion, even Xu Fengyen can’t clearly capture that blurry figure, as a matter of fact, Zhao room now wants him to go to fight with the Northern Mang, he can die, but he can’t die too early, as for the side of the Northern Mang, Hong Jingyan and Muyong Baoding appeared in the Liujhou only earlier, there shouldn’t be anyone else who’s full of energy to come to the trouble single-handedly, Tuowu The Bodhisattva has this strength, but the state of mind of the North Mang military god has always been more inclined to build a career on the sand field in a dignified manner.

Just as Xu Fenian was wondering, he saw a figure sweeping out of the Hearing Tide Pavilion not far away.

Xu Fengyen had a momentary lapse of concentration.

When he hadn’t gone to the mountains to practice his sword, he brought back that White Fox face, it was a winter season with goose feather snow, White Fox face was “walking on the lake”, at that time, Xu Fengyen really thought that this was the world’s most powerful sword technique. Now look back, White Fox Face’s knife potential knife intention knife law is still superior, but I’m afraid that after the Tai’an City saw Gu Jiantang and Cao Changqing tit-for-tat Fangchun Lei, there is still a gap between the fire level. But the white fox face is always his three years of travel on the road for the first time confirmed unmistakable jianghu masters, of course, after that, the old yellow, from the bottom of the lake out of the knife old Kui, the old master Wang Chonglou, the old man sheepskin fur, these people gradually appeared in the field of vision, each with their own style, none of them do not let a person admire the gods and god, the jianghu’s awe of the heart of the oil came out.

White fox face with single knife out of the building with that tall figure in the lake pavilion a hundred feet away from the wrong side.

Xu Fengyen stood up, and after the assassin’s imperceptible pause, he immediately recognized the identity of the visitor, an old-timer who was totally unexpected.

A nameless swordsman with a penchant for eating swords, Sui Shiaogu.

It was the old man’s borrowed sword that allowed Xu Fengyen to retrieve his life from the hands of the human cat, Han Diaoji.

Xu Fengyen stood to walk out of the pavilion, not waiting for him to walk down the steps, the old sword eating ancestor came near the pavilion, the one-armed old man who exchanged an arm with Li Chun Gang lifted the cuff of the one with the broken arm, which was cut off most of the way, and tsked: “Gu Jiantang at this age, can’t have this kind of powerful blade, one blade is roughly equivalent to Gu Jiantang from eight years ago, with two blades, it’s still a lot more than that? ”

Xu Fenian stepped down the steps, smiled and said, “I have met Elder Sui.”

The old man opened the door and said, “Your family’s hospitality is not to be counted, your kid owes the old man a life, first send seven or eight good swords to start the appetite, after that, how to repay the favor, count slowly. Your kid snatched all of Wang Xianzhi’s belongings from Wudi City there, I think the old man will have a blessed mouth this trip.”

Xu Fengnian laughed: “Unluckily, the Sword Mound family master previously blocked the road over in Hezhou, those famous swords destroyed seven or eight of ten, but since it is the old senior who has come to the door, there is still a treasury in the house, the good swords are always less than the senior that is, live for a day, just manage to have enough for a day.”

The old man glanced at this young man at the beginning of their own can still look down from a height, haha laugh: “you kid on this point most people hate not up, although not what good bird, but there is a say a, also not petty.”

The old man stepped into the lake pavilion, Xu Fengyen followed behind and asked in a low voice: “Deng Ta’a didn’t enter Northern Liang with seniors?”

Sui Xianggu said with blank eyes, “He is not happy to interfere in the temple disputes, so is the old man, but Tantai calm that bitch is the only obstacle in the old man’s heart, have been thinking about it for eighty years, since she came to Beiliang, the old man naturally have to keep an eye on her, in case she goes out of the wall, the old man can also immediately kill people.”

Xu Fengyen cried and laughed, for this kind of entanglement that is longer than a normal person’s lifetime, naturally, he can only stand idly by.

Xu Fengyen soon waited for the news, the white fox child face not only out of the building, but also out of the city, only wearing a single blade spring thunder, without dragging the mud, directly with the help of the help of the back of the embroidered winter knife and bundled with seven swords of the Wangsheng rushed to the North Mang together, and the proximity of even a goodbye is not happy to talk to him, which makes Xu difficult to avoid Fengyen’s heart a little bit chilly.

After Sui Shiaogu sat down on his butt, one sentence was stone cold, “With Xie Feiyu’s help in capturing the big and small scaly dragons in Shu, Chen Zhibao will soon catch up with Wang Xianzhi.”

The old man said with a gloating face, “Xu Fenian, is it hard for you kid not to have an old grudge against all the guys with Chi in their names?”

Xu Fengnian shook his head with a bitter smile, but with a startled heart, he slowly nodded his head.

He remembered the most hidden shadow of the Great Qin Dynasty eight hundred years ago, who did not carry the word Chi in his name, but was called Cao Zhi.

The old man was just speaking casually, not really caring about this kind of irrational and confusing fortune telling.

With a somewhat gloomy face, Xu Fengnian leaned against the pavilion porch pillar and closed his eyes.

Then his face began to visibly improve, stood up and rose again to look into the distance.

Sui Shiaogu who had two long snow-white eyebrows stretched out his two fingers and twisted one of his long eyebrows, staring at this young man with a changed state of mind, slowly falling into contemplation.

From the southeast of the stream wind and rain to the yellow sand and wind of the northwest border, there is a pair of master and disciple walked ten thousand miles away, finally about to enter the northern Liang, about to approach the Wudang Mountain, which is unceasingly fragrant, and finally will be the end of this xiangfu yuan year, climbed the mountain in the snowy sky.

At this time, the young master carrying the exhausted young disciple, walking not fast.

“Master, when you become a Taoist priest, do you have to memorize a lot of books?”

“Not necessarily.”

“Master, Mr. Xu said that you are the biggest Taoist priest on the mountain, and since I’ve become Master’s disciple, I have to practice well and be dedicated to the Tao. I’m afraid I won’t do well.”

“In life, taking things as they come is cultivation and a blessing.”

“Master, I don’t understand, what does it mean to take things as they come?”

“It means stopping when you’re tired and walking again when you’re not. We Taoist priests seek the Way and ask for it, it’s actually never in the sky, it’s right under our feet.”

“Master, then let me walk by myself, I’m not tired.”

“That’s okay, Master will carry you again.”

“But Master, wouldn’t that be not going with the flow?”

“Yu Fu, remember, there are some things in the world that are more important than cultivation.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s like when you’re walking on the road and you see someone, even if you’re not tired, you don’t want to walk anymore, then you can stop and look at her. It may seem to be against the Way of Heaven, but the Master’s Little Uncle seems to think that things are going smoothly, and there is no violation of the Way. Why do I need someone outside of my own mind to come and say what I am saying if I am not saying what I am saying?”

“Alas, Master, it sounds so hard to be a Taoist. But Master, you have a Master’s uncle, too?”

“Of course Master has a Master’s Uncle, and Master’s Master’s Uncle will also have a Master’s Uncle. In the future, there will also be people on the mountain who will call you Master Uncle and Master Uncle.”

“Master, look, there’s a tree over there with red leaves.”

“Then let’s stop and take a look?”

“Yes!”

Wudang Daoist Li Yuaxe put his disciple Yu Fu down, held his hand, and together they looked up at the sumac tree with bright red autumn leaves like fire.

Autumn trees like a woman in red.

I don’t dare to count all the trigrams, just because the world is unpredictable. Love does not dare to deep, lest a big dream.

Li Yu axe lowered his head and looked at the child with a blank stare.

Little uncle, you really want to dream for 300 years?

Li Yu axe looked at heaven and earth separately, his eyes resolute.

The world’s witnesses seem to be witnessing the Tao of heaven.

Everyone under the feet has a great road to walk, but give forgotten.

The heavenly road and then high end of the top, the celestial man sitting high, the beautiful name is ranked in the class of immortals.

The road is endless.

Why need to be high up?

Li Yu axe smiled.

Junior uncle, back then, you said to me before the military dissolution not to walk your way, I have been thinking about not understanding.

Now some understand.

Li Yu axe loosened his hands, folded his hands, slowly made a bow and bent over three times. The first salute to parents and teachers, the second salute to heaven and earth, and the third salute to the Great Dao in the heart.

The entire Central Plains, muffled thunder rolling, but for some reason, no one muffled thunder blasted into the earth.
