Chapter 143 – The Emperor Meets in the Wind and Snow

I’m afraid that this Beiliang parade is twenty years after the Xu family to take over Beiliang, the most concise and shortest time, but also is the most group of generals gathered talents in full bloom once. Wu Lou a cadre of meritorious veteran generals are watching almost old tears, because they know better than anyone else military cohesion of the difficulty of military heart, military heart is like the soul of the people, once gone, it will be difficult to recruit the soul and return, like Liu Yuan Ji no matter how much scolded His Highness, why not in worry about their hard work to build the foundation, in the Li Yang by the Zhao room before the spoiled, has already been given to the losers to squander all the money? The more utilitarian ones, such as Han Yuzhi, were afraid that the new king would not be able to convince the people, not to mention his heart and even his mouth, so did they really want to move their families to the Central Plains, which was full of enemies? Do they really want to move their families to the Central Plains, where their enemies are all over the place, and have their scores settled by the Zhao family? When the Zhao family is happy, he will reward them with some scraps of food, and when he is not happy, he will cut off a few heads to buy people’s hearts? So when His Highness the Prince wearing the world’s only jade white python robe jumped over the ice river, to the school martial arts platform shouted out the word “draw sword”, 100,000 soldiers in Beiliang jointly unsheathed their swords, everyone in fact knew in their hearts, Xu Fengyen will be the rightful King of Beiliang. Then these old people will be at peace, and will even think, the great general did not go north to break the north mang, then in the hands of the young king of north Liang, is there this possibility? With this would have been haunted for many years of thought, then they can not afford to die, but also do not want to turn a blind eye to watch their own family will be seeded children and grandchildren to go broken, in fact, many old people are not really old and demented, such as Liu Yuanji really can not see the children and grandchildren for the scourge of, but can not believe that the Xu family flame inheritance, to be able to more in the moment to fish some of the family of the Xu family into their own pockets some of the what harm? But from now on, will have to re-plan properly.

Wulou is not too many ups and downs, after all, most of them are accustomed to seeing the battlefield kill the old man, the literati side of the field of scholars can be really trembling, and before that is what I heard about the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry battle strength champion of Liyang, as for how powerful, the heart does not have a plan, if those who came from the Yanzhi Guangling two Road of the reading public, more or less have seen the two feudal kings of the armies with the wrist, but also not too much faith in the Northern Liang battle strength can really exceed the A big cut, but when you see with your own eyes the black pressure of the endless iron armor formation, even if it is to climb the building to look at the distance, that kind of cold breath also let a person suffocated, especially 100,000 soldiers together with the cool knife sheathed, as if the sky and earth wind and snow had to be halted, the building of most of the characters are the body of the body shivered violently. And earlier a good person a school martial arts stage on the generals, each name like thunder, when the ten people side by side on the knife and stood, let a person again do not believe in what the North Liang green and yellow ghost words, the school martial arts stage that the wordless majesty, so that the people of the cultural building could not help but ask themselves, resigned from the Ministry of war Gu Jiantang to fight over the North Liang iron cavalry? Can Yan Zhi Wang, who is second only to Xu Snapdragon among the feudal lords, really resist? Even if the prominent python robed man could not stand up to his father’s height in this life, as long as he Xu Fengyen has 300,000 elites, is it true that he can be bullied by anyone? Yu Luan knife does not have these chaotic thoughts, he only saw that a distinctive python robe, saw him jumping horse throwing spears in the glacier, saw him picking up the steps to the platform when the slow pace, fingers in the famous sword “big Luan” hilt of the Yu Luan knife, suddenly feel that there seems to be no need to ask what.

After an hour’s parade, everyone returned their swords to their sheaths. Python robe man then disappeared, martial arts building side by the general Yan Wenluan to greet, rank equivalent Yuan Zuozong, although both the general’s son, but also the cavalry commander, but still walking in Yan Wenluan half a body position, only with the spring and autumn of the southern tang general Gu Dazu side by side. The seniority is not enough people’s popularity of Huangfu Ping fell at the end, appearing to be some single, and not far away from the old Youzhou General “Kam Partridge” Zhou Kang, but there is no any words sight intersection, but since this person has occupied a place in the school martial arts stage, there is no one who dares to save with the Huangfu Ping in the surface, as for the secret of the As for the secret, the Eight Immortals each show their skills, certainly not less, the key is also to see when Huangfu Ping can successfully eat the military power of Youzhou.

The building is by the north of Liang Duwei Chu Lushan boarded the building, when those foreign students see Chu fat man outside the building rolled over and dismounted, are scared half to death, but also perceived that even if it is the Secretary of the Li Gongde such as the second grade of the border officials, see this big devil who eats people without spitting bones, the smile on the face is also a little bit far-fetched, in the building is also Mr. Wang can be done as usual, Huang Shang this kind of from the Liyang of the bones of the literati, is simply out of sight, out of mind, out of mind. The heart is not disturbed, avoiding it. Draped in a heavy armor of Chu Lushan climbed the stairs, this new building also creaked badly, let a person worry about whether the ladder can withstand the weight of this one person and one armor, good in this stout as a mountain of fat pig ascending to the fifth floor, not bother to waste energy to go up the stairs again, met downstairs to the fifth floor of the hu kui, nodded to each other, glanced at the side of the governor of the cool state of the Yu Luan knife, the northern Liang Du Gui to hit the road back to the house, wait until the Chu Lushan finally mounted the horse! Departure, the scholars and scholars as a relief, if the notoriety of His Royal Highness in the past, but only in the northern Liang territory to do playboy behavior, then Chu fat man’s notoriety can be outrageous, cut breast skinning, open the skull and pour the wine, which should not be subjected to the wrath of God? But this fat pig is still smiling and happy when the biggest official in Beiliang, really a scourge to leave a thousand years ah! Chu Lushan back on the way, called the tour crossbow Li Hanlin and Lu Dou two people, a person is His Highness wore a pair of pants grew up brother, a person dipped in the light of that will soon be married to the Xu family Lu family in Qingzhou, can not be considered unusual Northern Liang armor.

Chu Lushan dispersed behind a dozen riders beloved escort, only with Li Lu two people walked to the glacier, the ice is already broken, Chu Lushan tugged the cotton collar within the armor, looking into the river, a long time did not make a sound. The Qingliang Mountain Royal House as their own home Li Dajiong and Chu Lushan dealing with not less, just when often have to trade lives with the North Mang horse fence after the crossbowman, look back and then look at this year to arm in arm to talk about joy of the fat man, more than a few points of reverence, it is difficult to like the past as a heartless joke, not do not want to, but really do not dare to. Only have a personal experience of the smoke of war, and hundreds of enemy troops will live and die in contact with the war, only to know that this easy to open Shu’s three hundred pounds of fat pig, is how ruthless, in the Northern Liang army, recognized the battle of the following 10,000 people, no matter how dangerous cruelty, Chen Zhi Bao can do the most battle, Yuan Zuozong can do the least battle losses, and the literary talent in front of this all by Hirsch’s reputation for fat people, you can The fastest time to let the war end! Chu Lushan once in the Northern Han Bashui battle, in just half an hour to eat up the Northern Han elite 3,000 people, their own 2,000 pawns died 1,800 people! This kind of bloody battle, in Chu Lushan hands countless, rumor has it that Chu Lushan with new recruits, will say a congratulations to the guys, either tomorrow will die, or the day after tomorrow when the lieutenant rolled elsewhere to enjoy the blessings. After Xu Snapdragon sealed the border and cracked the land, Chu Lushan, who is the son of the righteous, only led troops on the border for the first five years, and after that, he left the border, and then very few people can remember such a fat pig, the first to board the city to insert the flag of the number of times in the Xu family generals ranked first, and so far, still no one can break this record.

Chu Lushan thought for a while and finally opened his mouth, “There are some things, it’s better to let the King of Beilang tell you personally.”

When Xu Fengnian wore the clan king’s python robe on stage, it meant that Beiliang had already changed its king today. This is of course a serious violation of the Liyang clan etiquette, and the Zhao family, who relies on the Xu family to enjoy the kingdom, dares to say a word of disapproval? Even if the Zhao family son of heaven is fed up and wants to ask the North Liang, then also have to ask the North Liang knife to do it.

Being tricked to go to the South Dynasty and almost kidnapped to Jizhou Li Hanlin squatted down, holding the helmet in his arms, grinning: “Roughly the situation, before the parade I will be that old man was forced to ask the question stammers, the end of the general is not stupid, has guessed seven or eight.”

Li Hanlin continued to laugh, “Brother Nian those this word ah, I don’t love to hear. Don’t think that if you become the King of Northern Liang, you won’t be the brother of the untalented Li Hanlin, there is no such good thing. Anyway, in this life, I made up my mind to follow Brother Nian to mix food and drink, in case I mix out of the hall, he dared not to give a heavenly official hat, see I do not roll with the splash.”

Chu Lushan stretched out a palm, rubbed Li Hanlin’s head, laughed: “When the traveling crossbowman is a good thing, but don’t die ah, otherwise it is your highness to take me this Beiliang Du Gui out of anger. Hanlin, you and I are our own brothers, I’ll say the ugly words in advance, you kid dare to die in front of your old man, I dare to take it out on your father!”

Chu Lushan waved his big hand and scolded with a laugh, “Dead boy, get lost!”

Li Hanlin very nonchalant a smoke run away, born with a vision of heavy pupils Lu Dou did not forget to salute farewell.

Chu Lushan looked to the east, all the way to the east is that the world’s first good Tai’an City, coldly laughed: “What a big piece of fat meat!”

Chu Lushan lowered his head as he walked towards his warhorse, letting out a burst of jiejie laughter, “Eating meat and whatnot, our fat man likes it the most.”

In the wind and snow at the border, the two carriages finally met.

The horsemen were the young man who had only just become the king of Beiliang, and that Northern Mang Army God’s Tuoba Bodhisattva.

The man and woman riding in the carriage, can be imagined what kind of earthly supreme status.

The Northern Mang Murong Empress, the old Liang King Xu Snapdragon.

The carriage stopped at the same time, Xu Snap even North Liang deservedly the first person of martial arts Xu Yan Bing did not piggyback, only with a change of ordinary clothing first eldest son. In the end, it is still two carriages, two against two.

Xu Snapdragon bent down and lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, the opposite side of the carriage in the crone very tacit understanding at the same time out of the car, Xu Snapdragon squinted glanced at the second highest rated man, looked at the “slowly coming” of the old woman, tsk tsk sneer: “Murong, back then, so miserable, a shameful and shameless crying and crying with me to ask for pie to eat the woman! Nowadays, you can be really elegant ah, all let Tuoba Bodhisattva give you as a horseman, look at me, also brought their own son, can not compare to your frame.”

The old woman draped the old fur, not wearing a sable hat, let the wind and snow hit in the vicissitudes of face, listening to Xu Snapdragon’s sarcasm, but also do not refute, smiling, such a look, in the vast north and south of Beimang dynasty, can let a person live to stare out a pair of eyeballs.

Xu Snap snorted coldly, ”Have a fart quickly put! Old me is not in the mood to drink wind and eat snow with you.”

The old woman reached out and gathered her snow white hair on her forehead and laughed, “Old cripple, how many times have I told you, my surname is Murong, not Murong.”

Xu Snapdragon said sharply, “Where did Lao Zi know that a person’s last name could still have two words! I didn’t know it before, and I still won’t know it afterward.”

The old woman was not annoyed, walked a few steps closer, softly said, “Your Central Plains Spring and Autumn has ten great valves, two of them have compound surnames, if I remember correctly, can be planted in the hands of your Xu Snapdragon, do not remember? They are all for you to eat? Xu Snapdragon, you’re getting old. It’s a good thing that you’ve never been handsome in your life, when you were young it was so, when you’re old it’s even harder to see.”

Xu primrose hemmed and hawed: “I’m a man with a woman than what posture, besides, you think in Liaodong that moment you are good-looking? Compared to my daughter-in-law, you are a hundred thousand miles away! It was only that old man from North Mang who was blinded by lard and blinded by his own eyes that he could see an ugly woman of your stature.”

The old woman is still half not angry, smiled and said, “When I was young, good looking or not, each flower into each eye, not good to say, but really not ugly. What’s more, the woman is old and gray, can still be a small dragonfly, just who believe that the world is still young na, Xu primrose, you say is not it?”

Xu Snapdragon put his hands in his sleeves, shivered and scoffed, “Sour, really sour.”

The old woman let go of the hand stroking the forehead, hands spread out in front of her, looked down, then looked up and stared at Xu Snapdragon’s face of the old man spots, calmly said: “We are old, I’m ugly, you also hunchback, don’t have to fight a high and low. I, this life is the only loss in the heart of victory and defeat too heavy, lost to themselves, is not good. You are too sentimental, also not good, even if you have long been in a position of greatness, but also still live not happy. Otherwise willing to lower my head, come to North Mang, where need to look at who’s face, you should know, even I, will not give you face.”

Xu Snap twisted his head and spat heavily in the snow.

Beimang empress smiled and said, “nothing big to discuss with you, back then in Liaodong, want to say the words are clear, this trip south, is want to take advantage of you are not dead, see still alive Xu Snapdragon, want to say just a small thing, I just made up my mind, wait for you to die, first crippled you Beilang, and then follow the trend of the south, and finally will be the city of Tai’an will be burned down, when you give you to your grave burning incense. I will burn Tai’an City to the ground as a tribute to your grave.”

Is this a trivial matter to pay with a few words and laughs?

I’m afraid that even Huang Longshan and the Zhao family’s son of heaven as well as Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang would have to feel that it’s too damn funny when they heard it!

Xu Snapdragon narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly, ”Then Bei Liang will be waiting for you. Don’t turn around and get chopped up by the Northern Liang iron horsemen all the way to your lair ah.”

The old woman one hand cupped belly softly laugh, looked up at FeiXue, “Liaodong respectively, on the body of this fur is you with twenty taels of silver to buy, I was then two times to turn back, are only see you XuShuiShu back, thing is not three, will not be willing to turn your head again. There are times when I wonder if I’ll turn around once more and see you turn your head and make a face.”

Xu Snapdragon turned around and left straight away, flatly saying, “No.”

A carriage first turned around and went away, fading southward into the heavy snow in the north.

The old woman stood still, silent, and when the coachman was about to open his mouth to persuade her, he only heard the Northern Mang Empress angrily say, “Shut up!”

The old woman held her face with both hands, it was hard to see her expression.

The wind and snow whimpered like a woman sobbing.

The old woman let go of her hand, raised her slender arm, straightened her frosty sideburns on both sides, and laughed in a low voice, “I don’t know where the human face is going, the peach blossom still laughs at the spring breeze, and laughs at it like a bereaved dog.”

South down the carriage, Xu Fengyen slowly driving the horse, idly, stuffed a piece of snow into his mouth, behind Xu Snapdragon asked him for it, Xu Fengyen ignored him.

Xu Snapdragon rubbed his cheeks and laughed, “Bringing a son to meet an old woman who pines for his old man is not quite the right thing to do.”

Xu Fengnian did not make a sound.

Xu Snapdragon reached out his hand and gently placed it on Xu Fengyen’s shoulder, also not speaking.

After a long time, Xu Fengyen said in a firm tone, “I can carry it.”
