Chapter 107 – Falcon Swimming
Li Negative Zhen closed his eyes as if he didn’t dare to face the destruction of the Song family. Xu Fengyen looked calm, unable to tell if he was happy or sad, he said to Song Yan, “Lord Song, there are some things to discuss with you.”
After saying this, Xu Fenian turned around and walked down the steps, Song Yan, who had previously lashed out at Song Huangmei in a big way, instead quietly pressed his hand against his daughter who was in trouble, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile, signaling her not to be alarmed. Turning around and crossing the threshold, Song Yan exhaled a long breath with some coldness.
Quickly follow the Lingshu general, Song Yan has been in a high position for a long time, for the perception of the city, compared to the ordinary people who are not worried about food and clothing is also much deeper, many of the anointed children in fact, not all are also some of the villains of the bullying, usually ushered in, on the top, dealing with Song Yan, these officials who hold the real power, but also quite gentle and thrifty, on the bottom, but also quite a master of the art of the people, pretending to be deep, words and deeds of the yin-yang and scorn people, but This kind of city, in the view of Song Yan can not be counted as a realm, not for the interests of the move, not for the world to move, no matter how big or small, can be calm and quiet, is really the city, Song Yan is afraid of Xu Fengyen is afraid of the former, when the wind is smooth, it is very good to talk, and do business with the people is also considered fair, but a little bit not to their own will, to reveal the fang, do not treat people as a human being, Song Yan does not think that a governor of Huangnan County, will make the “family Beilang”, but also to make a good deal of money, and to make a good deal of money. Song Yan doesn’t think that a Huangnan County governor can make the “family Beilang” His Royal Highness angry and do things with all the scruples.
Xu Fengyen slowed down his pace, walking side by side with Song Yan, softly snickering, “In the past you scolded Xu Snapdragon, now your daughter scolds me, Song family has a grudge against the Xu family?”
Song Yan was a bit embarrassed.
Xu Feng Nian laughed: “I came back this time, I want to talk to you, earlier your daughter and a servant girl blocked me from leaving the house, and suffered a bit, this matter is justified in the Song family, but I’m afraid that if a woman holds a grudge, she will be unreasonable, and talk nonsense, so that the Taishou Lord will hold a grudge against me, and I think it is necessary to come back to make it clear. However, if only this matter, I actually do not bother to return to make a fuss, the main thing is that Huangnan County has a few North Mang hidden for many years of thieves nest, this time a large number of scholars to go to the cool, mixed with a lot of camouflage deep spies dead, and even some of the original rooted in the central plains of North Mang spies began to take advantage of the opportunity to penetrate into the northern Liang, the night will be cleaned up a little Huangnan County, I leave tomorrow morning, so I feel the need to talk to you first to say a word to save you to the time! I’m leaving tomorrow morning, so I thought I needed to tell you first, so that you wouldn’t be in a hurry. When I was returning to the mansion, I saw that the Wild Ape House side had started moving books.”
Song Yan didn’t dare to make that overnight enmity with the young man beside him, not caring about honor and etiquette, he directly asked, “Your Highness really won’t be annoyed with your daughter’s rudeness?”
Xu Fengyen asked rhetorically, “It’s better to curse a few times in your own home than those who stabbed you in the back in Lingzhou, I can still be patient with the latter until now without making a move, what are you worried about? If you really feel guilty, just send me five hundred more Wild Ape House Collection books.”
Song Yan sighed, “It’s my humble servant who has measured the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a small man.”
Xu Fengnian laughed to himself, “What kind of gentleman am I, you guys, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a well rope. With my bad reputation in Northern Liang ……”
Song Yan turned his head violently and saw the daughter of the Lord Secretary of the Jingliang running hurriedly, stopping to look at them, with no intention of leaving. Xu Fengnian hesitated and said softly, “Lord Song, I’ll have a few words with Miss Li, you go to the back door and wait for a moment.”
Song Yan nodded and left quickly.
Li Negative Zhen didn’t take another step closer and asked with a cold face, “What are you going to do to the Song family?”
Xu Fengnian did not beat around the bush with her and said, “You actually want to ask what I plan to do to Song Huangmei, right? Don’t worry, I ……”
Li Negative Zhen interrupted Xu Fenian’s words and laughed coldly, “Do you believe that I can really rest assured?”
Xu Fenian calmly said, “Li Negative Zhen, if I remember correctly, I never owed you anything.”
Li Negative Zhen gritted his teeth and said, “If something happens to Hanlin on the border, I will hate you for the rest of my life!”
Xu Fenian turned to leave, and ended up stopping that Song Huang Mei again, but the sword-playing woman learned from her mistakes this time, and timidly said, “Your Highness, one person does everything for one person, don’t make things difficult for my father.”
Xu Fengnian reached out and pinched her cheeks, “You scolded me, I mooched, let’s call it even.”
Song Huangmei stagnant on the spot, long after the soul, jumped up, ran to Li Negative Zhen, like a sparrow chirping, “Negative Zhen sister, you see, this highness really has a murderous aura, he flicked me, I did not dare to move just now, replaced by the general dengtu, would have given me a sword to cut off the dog’s claws! Sister, you do not know, he is accompanied by two guards are very powerful, I told you, the man wearing a cool sword is considered handsome. Alas, I now feel that those rumors, most of them are true, negative true sister you do not practice martial arts do not practice the sword, do not know the people of the jianghu have a bold thick intention enough to say, this son of His Highness is definitely a master! Just don’t know if you can fly with a sword out of sound scolding thunder.”
Xu Fengyen came to the back door of the mansion, Song Yan asked softly, “Sweeping Huangnan County at night, can I need my subordinate to do anything?”
Xu Fengyen shook his head, “No need.”
Song Yan said, “If Your Highness does not mind the deadness of this mansion, you may as well stay.”
Xu Fengnian laughed: “What, afraid that I will die violently in Huangnan County?”
Song Yan, who had his heart revealed, laughed, Xu Fengyen did not let Song Yan send him out the door, sat in the carriage and quietly drove out of the alley.
Xu Yan Bing drove to a private house located in the southwest corner of the county, Xu Fengyen pushed the door and entered, the small courtyard is narrow, the cold floor is densely knelt more than twenty people, Xu Fengyen crossed his fingers, in his heart he laughed to himself, finally a little bit of His Highness the son of the world, he said get up. These twenty people dressed very differently, there are rich and powerful gentleman sable fur, there are countryside villagers of coarse linen clothes, there are people hanging only with the official uniforms matching the jade pendant, Xu Fengyen went over to pull down the jade pendant, the official is not small, is under the ninth grade of the county on the Lord of the thin. After taking the jade pendant in hand, there was no hurry to give it back to him. The head of a person, is a plain-looking woman, only to stand up, and then kneel down, with an involuntary trembling voice, carefully keying in the words, slowly reporting military intelligence: “Your Highness, according to the fact-finding, Huangnan County City hides three Northern Mang spies nest, two of which have been operating more than ten years. According to General Chu’s arrangement, a set of royal peregrine falcons will enter Huangnan County at shenzhen time, and another set of Northern Liang eagle soldiers with crossbowman origins will arrive at a quarter to five o’clock at 5:00 p.m. Your Highness, you only need to give an order, and my subordinates will be able to uproot these three poisonous tumors.”
Beiliang spy members mixed, but really responsible for cleaning up the door are counted in the peregrine falcon, this peregrine falcon is responsible for inspecting Beiliang, to the north liang royal family bred jianghu masters mostly, lv qiantang shu shy and so on, as well as later intercepted to kill the emperor zhao kaifeng the batch of, are this kind of killing in exchange for martial arts secret manuals and glory and wealth of the dead, and there are also some is in liyang to commit the forbidden death penalty, and have to rely on Beiliang to seek a ray of survival of the Outlaws, but now the Northern Liang spy into two, from Chu Lushan’s hand half of the authority, fell into the hands of the second county Xu Weixiong, Xu Weixiong lazy mind in the old personnel on the waste of time, directly from the Northern Liang army called nearly a hundred of the elite crossbowmen, to become the eagle, and the falcons nominally act in concert, in fact, there is also the meaning of the mutual checks and balances within the meaning of the. Thus, the falcons and the eagles together wandered in the northern Liang land, choosing people to devour. As for the Guanwai affairs, the old spy leader Chu Lushan is still in control, and Xu Weixiong seems to have no intention of getting involved for the time being. Xu Fengyen for these two pieces of the most hide dirt organization, almost not involved, but the general setup has heard, for example, at this time in the yard spies, most of them belong to the perennial hibernation of a place is not allowed to move the nest of the “snappers”, there are a few slightly more flexible “anchovy”, regularly and regularly to and from Liangzhou, is responsible for the “shad”, and is responsible for the “shad”, and is responsible for the “shad”. Regularly and regularly to and from Liangzhou, responsible for bridging to pass military intelligence, a lot of snappers to old age and death do not know the identity of their accomplices, such as this today, greatly gathered together, extremely special, waiting for people, only to be nicknamed the Black Carp of the Huangnan spies leader of the woman, told that there is a big man on the top of the county to come to the Huangnan personally layout up the net, but almost no one thought that it would be the son of the North Ryang “visit However, almost no one thought that it would be the son of Northern Liang who would “come to visit my humble abode”, and all of them were a bit trembling for a while. They are not the people who only spread blackmail, for what His Highness the Prince has done, according to their seniority and status, they have seen some secret records and heard some secret things with their own eyes and ears to varying degrees.
Xu Feng Nian laughed: “Black Carp, stand up and speak, originally said it was your top boss Wang Tong Bird who came to Huangnan County, this Shizi is on a temporary basis, took Wang Tong Bird’s place, don’t you guys dislike a layman telling you what to do, tonight’s action, this Shizi will just watch from the sidelines, and not intervene.”
That woman who had been in charge of the specific affairs of Huangnan County’s espionage was relieved, stood up, and was about to make a few polite remarks, but ended up being pinched by His Royal Highness with one hand, and with a click, twisted off, and then casually slammed aside by His Royal Highness, who’s smile remained unchanged. Xu Fengyen continued to laugh, ”I forgot to mention, the reason why Wang Tongquiao didn’t come to Huangnan County is not because he didn’t want to come, it’s because he couldn’t come, because he had already been slaughtered by Chu Lushan’s people on his way here. This Black Carp, with the North Mang a rod Lord eye to eye for some years, Huangnan County from beginning to end is rotten, this son knows that in addition to her, in fact, there are a few people in the courtyard to rely on the North Mang Spider Web, this time we are raising a large number of people, originally to the end of the death of the minions is also some insignificant, this can not be done.”
The remaining people in the courtyard looked at each other in dismay, the peyote “armor fish” that had become an official of Bei Liang took a step out, gently looking towards the black carp corpse, with a somewhat resigned and desolate smile, and also a bit of sadness over the death of the rabbit.
Xu Fengyen ignored this spy who exposed his identity and left it to dry, walked to the steps, hands in sleeves, leaving only the jade pendant rattling around outside the cuffs, smilingly asked: “Is there anyone who wants to die a quicker death? Waiting to be pulled out by this son personally, there is no black carp this treatment.”
The courtyard was dead silent, obviously no one responded to His Highness’s good intentions, Xu Fengyen slowly reported three names, all three were cut off on the spot by Hong Shuwen’s swift sword.
Xu Fengyen said: ”According to the secret report, in the courtyard, there is also a deeply hidden Northern Mang dead soldier, identity unknown, but it does not matter, Huangnan County’s espionage organization, was going to overthrow and start over again, in order to save the trouble, but also in order not to leave any future problems, can only kill them all. Huangnan County is the North Mang spider web under the great effort hard to operate out of the feng shui treasure, this son believes that the big fish, his life is worth more than all the North Liang spies in the yard combined. This is a deal that Bei Liang will not lose.”
A bloated rich man was actually too agile for words, a toe light step, about to leap out of the courtyard wall, was Hong Shuwen a short halberd inserted in the back, the body hung heavily on the wall, Hong Shuwen walked over and grabbed the legs, pulled back into the courtyard.
He died, the yard can still stand in the armor and shad are relieved, if this guy refused to reveal the cloven foot, have to pull the rest of the dozen or so people together with the strain of wrongful death, they can only stick out their necks to be slaughtered, otherwise they would not dare to fight with the murderous Beiliang son, as the armor and shad, most of the old and young family members, if the death of this day, at least is considered a donation for the Beiliang to hate, to hate can only hate that a few! North Mang spies are too treacherous and cunning, but after they die, the whole family can still be clothed and fed later. Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Xu Fengyen followed Xu Yanbing’s finger pointing and stared at a face that was ancient, an unassuming middle-aged man, ”This fat man is willing to die for you in order to save you, it is evident that your identity is not bad. Otherwise, if I were him, I would just die and pull the rest of the people along with me. You are called Han Shang, right, before in the Youzhou border made several big things, is considered to be for the Northern Liang has made sweat and toil, these years with the black carp is very bad, by the black carp sidelined for many years nothing, originally you are considered to be the yard’s most innocent and innocent spies, but do you know when you reveal the cloven foot?”
Han Shang smiled grimly and looked at Xu Yan Bing, “I have long heard that the royal residence hides crouching tigers, but the ground-branching dead beside the king of Bei Liang have all struck out, except for a guy named Xu Yan Bing who has been doing nothing, making it impossible for people to probe the depths of the situation. The Northern Mang side speculates that this person is only in a higher realm than the Gun Immortal Wang Xiu’s senior brother, Han Laoshan. Now seems to be true, I clearly have suppressed the number of heartbeat, I think there is no half a crack, I did not expect to still be seen through. It’s a pity that I can’t get this message out. The mistake is that this time, I didn’t expect it to be His Highness the Prince himself, and there’s still Xu Yan Bing traveling with him.”
It wasn’t that Han Shang didn’t want to fight to the death, but being targeted by Xu Yan Bing, Han Shang, whose martial arts cultivation wasn’t low, knew that it was simply futile.
Han Shang’s eyes went black, and he fainted and passed out without even seeing how Xu Yan Bing struck.
Xu Fengyen threw the jade pendant back to the official and laughed, “Wang Tongquiao, Huangnan County has made up for its mistake.”
Wang Tongquiao took the jade pendant and wore it on his waist, tearing off a face, only a few people in the courtyard realized that this guy was the Wang Tongquiao who had been sitting on the first chair of spies in Huangnan County for more than a decade.
A man whose wife and children have not seen his true face for over a decade.
He followed His Highness, the son of the world, into the house and asked softly, ”Why doesn’t Your Highness let me continue to lurk in the shadows? Although Huangnan County is going to be much cleaner after tonight, there is no guarantee that there won’t be dirt accumulating in the future.”
Xu Fengnian said, “You don’t need to stay in Huangnan County, say goodbye to your wife and son, then go to Youzhou.”
Wang Tongjiao nodded without any objection.
Xu Fengnian suddenly said, “I know that you have cultivated a disciple with very clean roots, Chu Lushan holds him in high regard, you take him to Youzhou, sell your life for a few more years, and experience that young man, and when he takes over your mantle, you should stop being a spy, reunite with your wife and son, and later change your face, and live a peaceful life.”
Wang Tongjiao, who had long ago sharpened his sword and axe to a unchanged appearance, froze.
Xu Fengnian laughed, “Although when I say the word assured, most people will only be more uneasy. But this time, this Shizi still hopes that you can put your mind at ease for once, Beiliang did not treat meritorious ministers poorly in the past, and will not in the future.”
This man suddenly laughed: “Your Highness’s good intentions are appreciated, but Wang Tongjiao’s life is cheap, and he has long been used to hooking up with people, and for you to let my humble servant suddenly go to raise flowers and plant grass, this is really more difficult than killing my humble servant. Besides, our line of work, unlike mounting a horse and wearing armor to fight and kill the enemy, it is not useful after age, the older you are the more you do it.”
Xu Fengnian was speechless.
Wang Tongjiao unprecedentedly blushed and said, “Your Highness, my son who is only in his early teens listened to Mr. Storyteller’s narration, and admired Your Highness to the core, this kid played with small qi strength, and thought that he could go to Feng Zi Camp to be a White Horse Boxer in the future.”
Xu Feng Nian nodded his head and smiled, “Good, when he reaches the age, I will allow him to go to Feng Zi Camp.”
Wang Tongjiao suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice: “Your Highness, let’s plan for tonight’s annihilation?”
Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, “Just leave Han Shang to me, the rest of Chu Lushan’s established arrangements will remain unchanged, and Hong Shuwen will move with you at night. You get busy, the rest of those people in the courtyard still need you to pacify them.”
Wang Tongchiao answered with a promise and gently exited the house.
