Chapter 023 – The Two Words Emperor on the Table

“Xu Fenian.”

A woman at the doorway softly shouted out, her face was but flat, yet she was not angry. Beside her stood a young man who had some resemblance to Grand Prince Zhao Wu, but compared to Zhao Wu’s rough breath, there was a lot more introverted Confucianism and elegance, and it seemed to be an extremely knowledgeable veteran of jade cultivation. Humiliated by the heavens, should be infuriated by the reckless Zhao Wu, a trace of arc at the corner of the mouth fleeting, only Xu Fengyen keen to capture, I’m afraid that even the woman who is fixated on the son of Beiliang did not pay attention to. Xu Fengyen originally wanted to throw the rod to fish out the hidden head and tail of Han Diaoji, but did not think it was Empress Zhao Zhi and the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan surfaced, smiled and slowly loosened Zhao Wu’s neck, turned around and bowed slightly, the tone of respect, but the address is a great irreverence to the extreme: “nephew has seen Auntie Zhao.”

Zhao Zhi complex expression, pressed in the depths of the guilt are floating to the heart, coldly said: “is the first time you so shouted the Palace, is also the last time, good for you.”

Xu Zhao two families in the last generation has been broken, the original Xu family there is a trace of compassion Zhao Zhi, but also completely personally extinguish that point of fluctuating incense, suddenly turned his head to look at the gloomy face of the white head of the man again smile and warm spring breeze, which makes Zhao Zhi heart swept through a touch of unknown haze, she is not afraid of this young man to become the second Xu Snapdragon, Xu Snapdragon power, is the hooves of the spring and autumn under the six achievements of the six kingdoms of the man, and later people again want to By virtue of the war heroes, it is as difficult as heaven, Zhao Zhi is not afraid of him with the woman’s open character, only afraid of him regardless, with the crazy wild dog general biting. Zhao Wu helped up the two Golden Sword guards who were injured in various degrees of severity, Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan stepped forward to assist one of the less injured, making that Dainai retainer instantly grateful, the two royal sons with the same father and mother silently looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Wu even turned his head and grinned, making a bloody gesture of a knife slashing his neck towards the Beilang Shi Zi Zi, Zhao Zhuan gently pressed down on Zhao Wu’s hand, slightly apologizing to Xu Fengyen and gave him an apologetic smile.

Princess Zhao Fengya of Sui Zhu lowered her head, unable to read her expression. Chen Yu, who had taken a fall, remained cloudy and lighthearted, and her nurturing was not bad.

The three women were seated in the carriage, with Grand Imperial Prince Zhao Wu and Fourth Imperial Prince Zhao Zhuan riding to escort them.

Such a convoy was truly astounding.

Princess Sui Zhu smiled from the corner of her eyes, but on her lips, she scolded, “A reckless man!”

Zhao Zhi shook his head and said, “The ladder was set up by your fourth brother, and Xu Fengyan was smart enough to do so, so that both families walked down the ladder.”

Zhao Fengya was confused and said, “I don’t understand.”

Zhao Zhi lifted the curtain and glared at his smartass son Zhao Zhuan, who playfully made a face.

Zhao Zhi said flatly, “Xu Fenian took this opportunity to tell our Zhao family that the Xu family will only guard the country’s gates for the people of Liyang from now on, and it has nothing to do with the Zhao family.”

Zhao Fengya angrily said, “The guts are too fat!”

Zhao Fengya especially did not feel relieved and snorted coldly, then laughed to herself, almost bursting into tears, “Mother, if only I had Li Chun Gang’s skills, I would learn from the old Sword God to go to the edge of Northern Liang and shout a few times, ‘Money come,’ ‘Horse come’ If I had Li Chun Gang’s skill, I would be like the old Sword God who went to the edge of Beiliang and shouted ‘money’, ‘horse’, ‘sword’, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and Xu Fengyen’s fortune would be gone! Or we can follow the white-robed monk to hang a yellow river over his head, and drown him with a crash!”

Zhao Zhi lovingly touched his daughter’s head, “Childish, never grow up.”

Zhao Fengya asked curiously, “Who’s the boss’s wife, last time I came here with Uncle Xu to eat mutton, we also talked and laughed.”

Zhao Zhi’s face was covered with a layer of faint melancholy, shook his head and said, “The old account book that can’t be calculated clearly.”

Zhao Fengya flung herself in the arms of the current Empress and whispered with a bad smile, “Mother, you tell me the bottom, you are not younger than Uncle Xu by a few years, did you have a crush on Uncle Xu back then?”

Zhao Zhi froze, twisted the daughter’s ear of absurd speech, “lawlessness, early to marry you out to do!”

With mother and daughter two apparently very deep gap Chen Yu has not said a word, do not hear, do not ask, do not listen, do not say.

※※※※

There are places where swords are drawn.

There are places where it is happy.

Dragon Tiger and Wudang fight world Taoism ancestor for hundreds of years, perhaps many people have forgotten that before this, one hundred and twenty years ago there was a wild fox like a young Taoist in the city of Tai’an painting charm dragon, rumor has it that after the eye into the clouds, this rootless duckweed, calling wind and thunder, impeachment of ghosts, to their own power over the Dragon Tiger and Wudang, to get the then emperor of the Liyang valued, sealed as a great real person of the Taixuan auxiliary chemist, the general leader of the three mountains of the talisman, the head of the country’s Taoism! He was in charge of the three mountain talismans and was in charge of the Taoist religion of a country. He prayed for snow and rain by imperial decree, which was always effective. In the hands of the former emperor of Liyang system plus Chongde godfather, today’s son of heaven after ascending to the throne and grant the number of Taixuan Mingcheng big real person, layers and layers, I’m afraid that those old masters of Longhu Mountain are difficult to match. But after two kozi, the immortal with the same name as the son of heaven cultivation place will be gradually decay, incense burner not see inserted half incense, pine and cypress, in the winter exceptionally verdant, just no fairy gas, but instead looks gloomy, an old cypress tree under a small table, two people drink, behind the five maidservants, a rich maidservant warm wine, a thin maidservant to cook tea, pots of wine and tea pots, the row of the table and put, clear distinction, the drinker’s face withered and solemn, the drinker’s face, the drinker’s face withered and solemn. Drinking people face withered and solemn, look at about forty years old, probably because of the poor color, twilight. Tea drinker to be suave too much, elegant appearance, even if the mixed capital, there are few such temperament at a glance will give people an extraordinary feeling of colorful men, maintenance than women are also careful and careful.

Sixty-seven Yuan Benxi. Sixty-four Nalan Yuci.

Nalan Yuci five personal maidservants, the world is known, Fengdu Dongyue Xishu three corpses multiplied by Cu, nicknamed to obtain the gas swallowed ten thousand miles, the woman who cooks tea is the three corpses, warming the wine maid is multiplied by Cu.

Nalan right Ci lying on the sandalwood couch, shoveling spices, asked with a smile: “Yuan Benxi, really want to Jin Lanting that white-eyed wolf as the second blue-eyed child cultivation? Be careful not to lose your money. Although I have not personally heard and seen with my own eyes, but listen to its words and deeds, not like to let you feel at ease to entrust a great talent, a minister to hold up the dead. Poor gas to the bone, inflammation in the face, is not a good thing, let him auxiliary governance, you are not afraid of hard work for a lifetime, the pro full plate of loss?”

Yuan Benxi vaguely said: “the capital city things have my own management, don’t need you to be concerned.”

Nalan right Ci received a black glazed teacup, finger spinning the rim of the cup, smelling the refreshing aroma, as if the tea can also intoxicate people in general, squinting: “I see Jing’an King Zhao Xun under the strategist Lu Fang is good, you do not dig digging corners? Without a young blind man to assist, the control of the central plains waist brawn Xiangfan, is not all in your hands? Lu Dan can also take over your mantle of vertical and horizontal arts.”

Yuan Benxi was expressionless, drinking slowly.

Nalan Yuci slapped his own forehead, not only self-mocking or laughing, raised his eyes to look at the winter scenery in the courtyard, “Almost forgot, you Yuan Benxi have no heir, no different from eunuchs, and do not make enemies and not cronyism, this is to let the Zhao family to rest assured, if you have an heir, that is the day you Yuan Benxi will be dismantled and kill the donkeys. In that case, you should really envy me.”

Yuan Benxi glanced at this man who stood behind the curtain of Yan Zhi Wang.

Nalan Yuci laughed, “Lu Dang is really a pawn of Huang Longshi? Is that Chen Yu who has a clear and honorable destiny?”

Yuan Benxi tilted his head back and quickly drank a cup of wine.

Nalan Yuanci knew this man’s temperament and didn’t bother to get to the bottom of it, changing the question, “You didn’t manage to catch Huang Longshi, the skewering rat, in your own yard?”

Yuan Benxi shook his head.

Nalan Yu Ci got a little cold and raised his hand, the servant girl Feng Du whose body was as smooth as congealed fat then bent down and gently held her master’s white jade-like hand and put it between her own warm breasts. Nalan right Ci this is lazy said: “think really funny, you Yuan Benxi single-handedly planned the capital white case, and persuade Zhao Zhi Zhuo that boy as a son-in-law, is the hope that the northern Liang generation and end. Now it is hard to hope for the Northern Liang son to the capital, in the capital can not be killed, but also as a son to protect, even Han Sable Temple are not allowed to enter the city to make trouble, only allowed him to intercept and kill outside the capital of five hundred miles.”

Yuan Benxi because of that year since breaking half inch tongue, slurred: “That Xu Fengnian consumed to win Chen Zhi Bao, this game of chess I will lose to Northern Liang, as I toast to Li Yishan.”

Nalan Yuci laughed heartily, “You are better than me in this point, you are willing to accept defeat, but I don’t have this kind of temperament. Otherwise, I can still be confidant with Xie, after his death, not to mention the toast, I hate to dig up his grave. I heard that he still has a remaining descendant, not with his surname, I dug up the ground and searched for a number of years but no news, thanks to that rouge review, I realized that the name is Nangong Servant.”

Yuan Benxi lifted his arm and stopped the cup, God traveled a million miles, simply did not take care of this one.

Nalan Righteousness laughed softly, “The vassal king is hereditary and reckless, according to the law of the clan, it needs three years to observe filial piety. I guess Xu Snapdragon will definitely start a border provocation before he dies, and fight another war with North Mang, so that his firstborn son can be crowned king smoothly, in order to prevent the night from getting long and dreamy. Yuan Benxi, I advise you to get started before it’s too late, take the payoff from the bottom of the kettle, and disrupt Li Yishan’s backhanded calculations left before his death.”

Yuan Benxi capped his sentence, “Do you know why you can’t compare to Li Yishan?”

Nalan Yuanci said in a calm voice, “Know ah, Huang Longshi scolded me can only plan ten years of gains and losses, you are half a mute, while I am half a blind man.”

Yuan Benxi laughed it off.

Nalan Righteousness frowned those soft woman-like willow leaf eyebrows, “That kid really went to North Mang alone and killed Xu Huainan and the Fifth Raccoon who was at the peak of his force?”

Yuan Benxi nodded.

Nalan Righteousness tsked, “Then you’re not afraid?”

Yuan Benxi shook his head, “Unless he is able to destroy Northern Mang, only then will he have the catty to borrow the sword of the Zhao family to kill me.”

Nalan Righteousness laughed, “If that’s the case, taking your life in exchange for a Northern Liang a Northern Mang, you’ve earned it.”

“Then Chen Zhi Bao, you do not worry about raising a tiger?”

“It is no longer Spring and Autumn, recklessness does not work. The world is not yet chaotic Shu is chaotic, the world has been leveled Shu is not leveled. Occupying Shu is no different from sitting in Northern Liang, with no hope of annexing the world.”

“Yuan Benxi, I have to remind you that this is the voice of experience of my generation of scholars. In the Spring and Autumn, who would have thought that a young general with only second rank strength could become a human butcher?”

“Not the same.”

Nalan Righteousness sighed, looked at the sky, and murmured, “Anyone who is in love can die, not only men and women who are infatuated. It is said that Northern Mang Li Mi Pil has a cage with butterflies, we are all still caged butterflies after all, only Huang Longshi, transcends the world. Yuan Benxi, have you thought about what he really wants?”

Yuan Benxi stood up, “Three Immortals in life, to establish speech, merit and virtue. Three great unities in one life, Shang Zhong Shang Wen Shang Qi. I’m afraid that hundreds or even thousands of years from now, only then will we be able to put a lid on Huang Longshi.”

Nalan Yuci did not respectfully send Yuan Benxi off, sitting on the small couch, “It is best if Huang Longshi dies in your hands and mine, then I die in the hands of Xie family’s youngest child, and you die in the hands of Xu Fengyen, and the world will be at peace.”

Yuan Benxi suddenly turned around and laughed, “All die at the hands of Xu Fengnian, isn’t it more interesting?”

Nalan Righteousness cursed with a laugh, “Bad luck!”

Waiting for Yuan Benxi to walk out of the deserted Taoist temple, Nalan Yuanci thought for a moment, reached out and dipped his finger in the tea and wrote two words on the desktop.

Emperor.

※※※※

Sitting back at the table, Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered, “Letting you act on your will, were you framed by Grand Prince Zhao Wu, or were you pitted by that smiling fox, Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan?”

Xu Fenian calmly said, “Mostly the fourth Zhao family. Although Zhao Wu deliberately hid his stance, he shouldn’t have this kind of heart.”

“I heard that the Crown Prince is one of these two people, then aren’t you destined to offend the future Emperor of Liyang?”

“Who says otherwise.”

“Yo, even the Empress is really angry, but you don’t look worried at all, are you pretending?”

“I said I’m pretending, okay?”

“That woman is the rouge evaluation on the Chen Yu it, is to be a big prince consort, or the palace new mother?”

“Not interested in knowing.”

“I look at you and her relationship is not simple.”

“Blind guess.”

“My intuition has always been accurate.”

Xu Fengyen swished a few slices of mutton in the pot and pinched them into Qingdao and E’s bowls respectively.

The phase is born from the heart, a woman changes eighteen times, Xuanyuan Qingfeng was an eccentric woman Xu Fengnian had seen who still changed strangely after the age of twenty, the spoiled woman’s pampered qi, the yin and hostile qi after her family’s destruction, and the hoary qi after harboring the seal. Xu Fengyen had always been prejudiced against readers, the cold scholar Chen Xiliang that he met during his second tour was an exception, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng was even more so. Xu Fengyen of course on Xuanyuan Qingfeng has no extra thoughts, but I can not say whether it is honor and common mutual benefit, or each in a desperate situation with no way out of the same disease, for the proud all day peacock open screen Xuanyuan Qingfeng, always hold some more than the level of patience. Since the temple and rivers and lakes since ancient times are men fighting for fame and fortune, women are wrapped up in it, Xu Fengyen probably to those who are in the world of drift and stubborn women, always in the unknowingly give some more, inverted the horse off Xu Xiaoniang is so, the North Mang territory of the early death of his daughter’s alcohol selling Qingzhu mother is also.

Xu Fengyen seemed to remember something, smiled and called out towards the curtained inner room: ”Aunt Hong. You’re not such an elder!”

The woman made a gesture to spit, “pooh pooh pooh, little brat, only called that woman an aunt Zhao, where I can afford an aunt, be careful to let me lose my life. Come on, give me a closer look, tsk, looks really like Wu Su, thanks to not Xu Snapdragon that rough virtue, otherwise which girl blind to you as a daughter-in-law. I’ve been worried about you all these years, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get a daughter-in-law.”

“Aunt Hong, first time we meet and you’re being so sarcastic? I won’t pay back the money Xu Snap owes you for those few meals.”

“I’ll call you aunt, I’m old anyway, I’m not afraid of being called old by you. Also what silver, aunt Hong is not your thinly veiled aunt Zhao, she ah, calf protection, like an old hen, as long as into the family nest side, see people peck, what love are not talking about. Your mother and I, together with her, were three sisters, and she was the most shrewd and calculating of them all. It’s a pity that the sisterhood that wasn’t thick back then was squandered to the righteousness of the men of your two generations.”

The woman and Xu Fengyen squeezed on a bench, Xuanyuan Qingfeng silently leaned against the wall, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the woman reached out to pinch Xu Fengyen’s cheeks while she was talking, saying that she was in love with him, but he couldn’t stop him, so such an amusing scene could be a rare occurrence in a hundred years.

The woman rubbed Xu Fengnian’s white head and softly said, “These years have wronged you.”

Xu Fengnian pursed his lips and shook his head.
