Chapter 096: Heroes are always late

The yellow dragon warship not see iron armor, the bow of the ship in addition to a slightly hunchbacked old man, around only a pair of naturally born silkworm eyebrow majestic man, his eyes always give people the feeling of a tiger snooze, behind a little far away from the middle-aged man stood with a spear. Xu Fengyin lightly floated behind, and the old man glanced at each other, then greeted Yuan Zuozong, did not forget to nod his head in salute with the distant retinue called Liu Yanbing, this person as Wang Xiu’s junior, has always been living in the shadow of the spear immortal, reputation shall not be manifested, never had a shocking feat, so Liu Yanbing’s cultivation is how to be, profound and unfathomable. Light vehicle out of Beiliang Xu Snapdragon led Xu Fengyen to walk to the railing next to the railing, laughed: ”Remember the last time on this Chunshen Lake, or with Xiangfan City’s Wang Mingyang death struggle, this trip to take the opportunity to see a few eyes, the lake is still the same, that is, compared to the year when the dead bodies floated in the lake starving people everywhere scene, lively too much, there is life. This way to see with my own eyes, only to know Zhao Heng Zhao Xun this pair of father and son, governance jurisdiction of the size of the political affairs is really not ambiguous, in the city casually drink a tea and wine, can hear the people of Jing’an King’s praise. I have always felt that in the dynasty as an official, if the speech officer slam impeachment, may not be really corrupt officials, but if the people in the territory said good, most likely is really good.”

Mentioned that once he was kicked into the spring god lake young king, Xu Fengyen sneered: “also thanks to his side of a first-class strategist, otherwise Zhao Xun has long been given to the green party to eat the bones left, rely on the embrace of the green party to become a matter of a few folded by the zhang julu tossed into the disintegration, has been completely unable to fight with zhang party gu party, can deal with a prestige is not enough to suppress qingzhou zhaosu zhao xun, it is not! The name of Liyang is Zhao, but the name of Xiangfan City and Qingzhou is not Zhao, who cares? Is someone to help him sort out the veins and relationships, to those old foxes to know the benefits and harms, throw down to marry the consort within a few bait, and deliberately not moving, to help a green party big brother’s son in the city of Tai’an to a real power in the capital, and only afterward under the pretense of other people’s mouths to say the truth, Zhao Xun does not have these real bait and favors, will only be reduced to the king of Huainan with a line of virtues.”

Xu Snapdragon grabbed the railing with both hands and laughed: “It’s that blind Lu Yan who bet with you on chess in Yongzi Lane, right, the two sparse fourteen strategies come from his handwriting, and I’ve read it, surprisingly, even I’m a reckless person can read it, it’s not simple. Zhao Heng this bitch all his life in the big things make mistakes, only this hand to the orphan beautiful, in the words of Yi Shan is no fireworks, water to the end of the line. So this person ah, can’t be too smooth, too smooth, really to the desperate situation that can only rely on themselves, all still have to die face, unwilling to dog jump over the wall.”

Xu Fenian asked, “How did you think of leaving Northern Liang? Yuan Erge and Luqiu’er these new people for the old generals, Beiliang see in the eyes of anyone is a turbulent light, plus borrowed the Beiliang iron horsemen stepped through the border last time the east wind, the North Mang side of the Dong Zhuo and Hong Jingyan are not bound by the past, you are not afraid of the North Mang return the color, and hit us a surprise? In case there is someone within Beimang ……”

Xu Fengyen stopped here, Xu Snap waved his hand and laughed: “Countermeasures from the inside and outside? Father can’t wait for those sores and pus to leak out by themselves, always hiding it is disgusting. Some people, after all, half a lifetime of life and death in there, Dad can only turn a blind eye, promised them in the early years of this life as long as they did not die in the sand, how to get the woman silver official hat are together with the soft hand, Dad owes a lot of this life to the dead, but the living, self-confessed that there are not really a few owed. Like that Zhong Hongwu, dad and his first meeting, but also just a captain, then dad jokingly asked him how much he would like to be an official, Zhong Hongwu said to be a lieutenant on the contentment, under the command of seven or eight hundred strong brothers, able to see who do not see eye to eye to cut who, his life will be worth it. And Yan Wenluan, young, how interesting a young man, always read with me that he will be a horse trader, so that even if you die, you can also die on the back of a horse, if you are a peaceful official with no worries about food and clothing, he said that after a long time after a lot of age will not be happy to ride a horse, I’m afraid that I will die in the belly of a woman. Some times, the father looked at those high-ranking officials gradually fat old guys, suddenly feel a one do not recognize. When there are brothers who dare to scold the father face to face, saying that the old man if the general will only be better than you Xu Snapdragon, there are old brothers willing to go crazy in the middle of the night, carrying a jar of wine ran to the father’s military tent said to fight fight, there are also old brothers playfully threatened with the father that if you don’t bet on a baby, there is no way to do brother. At that time, Li Yishan and Zhao Changling were still there, Zhong Hongwu Yan Wenluan, a large number of people are not old, Chen Zhi Bao Yuan Zuozong these children, not to mention. At that time, my father liked to fight the most, and was never afraid of death, my father himself was not afraid, who dares to be afraid? If you don’t have the guts, you can go back to your mother-in-law’s bed before it’s too late. So as long as there is a war to fight, the whole person is crazy, no war to fight, but also to die to go with those big officials begging for a war to fight, you want silver? I’m not good at this, I’ll give you as much as I can, I’ll give it all to you, you think it’s too little? Then first on credit, when I won the war, you let the whole box whole box with a carriage to pull away is! You want military honors? Okay, just give me a little leftovers, don’t treat the brothers who went to fight for their lives, your children and grandchildren as long as they come to a field, when the war is a hundred thousand miles away from the battlefield is fine, afterward the same big military achievements are sent to them for nothing. Who wouldn’t be happy to do business with dad? It’s a fool’s errand. Then the court began to know that there was a young barbarian named Xu, from a poor background in Liaodong, who, after a lucky break, was not greedy for money or credit, but just wanted to die on the battlefield. In the end, the court officials who are on good terms with dad are happy to give horses and men and weapons, thinking to rely on dad’s military achievements to let them speak loudly in the temple. The enemies who are not on good terms with dad are more than willing to let you Xu Snapdragon get tired of living, so let him go and gnaw on the hardest bones, and fight the hardest dead battles. Then, dad so fight to fight all the way south, the court those high on the pillar pillar, has been looking down on dad’s powerful family, finally happy to lift up the curtains so a look, only some afraid of, unknowingly Xu barbarians how to soldiers and horses strong?”

Xu Snapgrass grinned and stretched out a palm, “50,000 iron horsemen. Father used 50,000 iron horsemen to destroy Northern Han. The young emperor of Northern Han screamed at your father back then, saying that the surname Xu was not worthy of your mother, Wu Su, and that your mother was blind and not worthy of practicing the sword at all. Dad did not argue with him, and finally took six hundred elite iron horsemen and burst directly through the gates of the imperial city and rushed into that golden palace. That guy went limp on the dragon chair and pissed his pants in fear.”

Xu Fengyen’s eyes warmed and smiled, this pile of deeds had actually long been so familiar that he had heard it in his cocoon, but unlike in the past when the impatience was directly expressed on his face, nowadays as long as Xu Snap was willing to talk, he was willing to listen.

Xu Snap suddenly smiled awkwardly, obviously thirsty, waving his hand towards Yuan Zuozong who deliberately stood far away, “Go get two jugs of white wine, don’t need to warm it up, the more you burn the knife the better.”

Yuan Zuozong quickly carried two jugs of wine, Xu Snapdragon and Xu Fengnian had one jug each, Xu Snapdragon stopped talking about those past events of his after such a pause, softly said, “Han Shengxuan died, Liu Artemisia division also died, almost only half a tongue Yuan Benxi and Zhao Huangchao are left. What father couldn’t do, son did, father is more than happy. Father left Beiliang this time, in addition to giving Yan Wenluan and others a last chance, in fact, the main thing is still want to walk the road you walked back then, halfway to the Jin family’s mansion, and did not think about how to make things difficult for them, but I heard that Jin Lanting Jin right priest’s old man, after knowing that father passed through the door and did not enter, that day, he gave a living scare to death.”

Xu Fengyen helplessly said, “Also not letting people have a good year.”

Xu Snapdragon laughed it off, looked to the northwest and slowly said, “Father has been thinking about one thing for the past two years, if the Northern Mang is really determined to disregard the overall situation and insist on going south, then in the end, how much of the family’s wealth has father handed over to you. Father has fought so many battles in his life, winning and losing, losing less and winning more, but when losing that is really bad, a defeat, there are two times is almost counted as a total loss, so bad that no one thinks that father can still rise again. After the defeat of the war, see those who were blackened by the smoke of the young face, see the father can still smile, do not feel that with the wrong person, father will be suffocating panic, then swore that even if the old man was lucky to become a big official, have a son, but also must let the boy in the future to go to the battlefield in person! Only in this way, father felt affordable to those soldiers, heart only a little better. But really wait for their own son, like when the Zhao family to recruit you to go to the capital as the emperor’s son-in-law, in fact, the father did not think to agree to down, then the father thought, to guilt on the guilt of the father alone, the father later to the ground, and then with the old brothers to make amends that is it, the heart is still very selfish to think of their own son do not suffer from the crime, and then the father carries a bottle of wine to listen to the tide of the pavilion to find the Yi Shan drink, you know, the Yi Shan directly threw the wine outside the house, it is later he heard that you have to go to the battlefield, and then he heard that you had a son, but the son of the son of the king. Outside the house, it was later he heard that your son ran off to wander the world, I went to find him to drink again, Yishan only had a smile, drink to the father can not persuade. So over the years, many old generals in Beiliang roots later, many old son hero son coward, the son broke out a lot of trouble, let them wipe their asses, some people still left a bit of face, came directly to Qingliang Mountain I begged for mercy, some thought I could not see, sneaky do something even more wrong, kill and destroy the root and branch, the means is not at all worse than the war in the Spring and Autumn period, and there are some more straightforward, that the old man Some more straightforward, that the old man and Xu Snapdragon broke down today’s military family business, their own children to kill a few people to bully a few women count a big egg, murder and arson has become a natural thing, also do not think about it, why would be happy to put his head on the waistband of his pants with the last name of the Xu go to fight for their lives, why kill up the official so without hesitation.”

Xu Snapdragon viciously poured a mouthful of wine and asked with a smile, “Father originally wanted to let Yishan do something, but Yishan said that you were dead set against it, what did you think?”

Xu Fengnian calmly said, “You’ve been infamous all your life, don’t you have enough curses? You are not afraid of being scolded by others for not remembering your old love, but I am afraid. Before the new emperor took the throne, the former emperor rushed to help first pull out the old man of the emperor’s heart, you do not use in the northern Liang body. Change me to do, you can more or less peace of mind a little bit, I have nothing more burden, Zhong Hongwu is just to make an example of the monkey, in the future in Beiliang, humane is humane, the rules are the rules, who take the humane with me bad rules, I will let him roll the cover and get out of the house. This time back to Beiliang, when I first go to the western desert, enlisted the hundreds of thousands of horses can fight the sinful people, and then I have to go all over the Beiliang jurisdiction, I don’t believe that away from the Yang Jianghu walked, the northern Mang also walked, but also walked down a home of Beiliang.”

Xu Snap nodded gratefully and just drank.

Xu Snapdragon swallowed the last mouthful of spirits, shook the empty jug, and said softly, “When you arrive in Beiliang, don’t rush to collect those sinful people forces that Yi Shan has fostered, first accompany father to see the Beiliang iron horsemen, okay?”

Xu Fengnian bit his lip and laughed, “What kind of father always asks his son if he can do it?”

Xu Snapdragon threw the wine jug into the lake and laughed as well, “What kind of father asks his son to go out and take risks three times?”

Xu Snapdragon put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the sky, squinted and said, “Last time, I was probably too busy killing people along the way to feel it, but this time I realized that it was cold to the bone in the south, and that dad is old.”

Xu Fengyen silently took off his red fox skin cap, pressed it on Xu Snap’s head and gently pulled it down tightly to cover the old man’s ears.

The old man moved his lips and turned around violently.

It seemed that he didn’t want his son to see his old tears, his heroic lateness.
