Chapter 161: The promise of a penny

There are still stones thrown from outside the fence into the fence, the stone size is getting bigger and bigger, some tall and strong Northern Liang teenagers also join in, brawn is bigger, this is not a playful game, in the transit deputy ambassador official residence of the Liyang soldiers still do not dare to fight back, but only dare to look at each other angrily, of course, they will not be afraid of the young children and sturdy teenagers, but behind them the Northern Liang pestle. What’s more, the deputy ambassador Gu Dacheng three orders, not allowed to official residence of anyone to provoke the local people, violators will be stripped of armor off the official body. A lieutenant-like small leader saw his men were smashed in the iron armor, splashing a string of blinding sparks, about the mud Buddha also has three fire, with an iron spear secretly picked back a stone, swept to the fence, intentionally or unintentionally, the stone from the gap smashed back to a young boy in green cotton, teenagers can not dodge, subconsciously closed his eyes, to be smashed by the stone out of a face full of blood at the juncture, was a waist hanging double knife handsome son reached out to hold, the boy opened his eyes, his face, his eyes, his face, and his eyes, and the young boy, and his eyes. The young man opened his eyes and smiled coyly and gratefully. The lieutenant saw the young family, only as an ordinary rich children, did not think much, but when his eyes wandered, stopped in the waist of a short man next to the son, suddenly scalp exploded, a real Northern Liang knife! Today’s Northern Liang, regardless of past merit, as long as it is not military armor, are not allowed to privately wear the Liang knife, any of your family elders have a few miscellaneous generals, or who play the role of assassins and county guards, was dedicated to the supervision of the matter of the patrol of the city cavalry guards once found, all on the spot to capture, flogging fifty, thrown into the prison for three months to half a year, so the spring of this xiangfuyuan year, the territory of the lingzhou dungeon exceptionally lively, has been crowded with Large and small will be seeded children, one by one open flesh, these bumped into the new assassin Xu Beihao gun on the tip of the spear, in addition to the private Pei Liang knife, there is the street horse, but these hard brothers, in prison together without delay by the relationship to drink on the wine and eat meat, a piece of squatting in prison Kantian Kandi, friendship instead of the past than the previous to be better than a few points. Gu Dacheng under this officer lieutenant lazy to care about the situation in northern Liang is good or bad, but to say that he messed with a qualification in northern Liang does not take the rules seriously will be seeded children and grandchildren, that will not be Gu adults peeled and cramped, if then harmed by the transfer deputy ambassador official residence by their own spillover, to the northern Liang iron cavalry to a horse stampede camp, he ate a small lieutenant of the salary of the Liyang, how to live?

However, the lieutenant was a bit puzzled, with the temperament of the Northern Liang barbarians, he didn’t even mean to make a big deal out of it. The gray-haired male directly turned around and left, and the short man who had the audacity to wear a cool sword also did not how unforgiving, after the robbery, the lieutenant hesitated for a while, and felt that there was a need to inform Lord Gu, so as not to be settled in the future. Gu Dacheng is a very easy to remember officials, no matter how much fish and meat, were born thin and bony, self-titled Mr. bag of rice, always hanging a red silk bag full of rice at the waist, rumor has it that before the Gu family fortune, Gu Zhui is relying on others to give alms to a bag of rice to survive, Gu family old and young are given to the soldiers and horses scared to the bone, and do not forget their roots after the flight of fortune, father and son, two Pixi have the habit of hanging a bag of rice, this In the Liyang canal this line of a string of officials grasshoppers in the middle, after dinner has been a joke, there are rumors that last year when Gu Zhui into the capital, made a special trip to visit has been the main official of the Central Book Province Tantan Weng, who thought that such a notorious from the third grade officials, where can cross the threshold of Huan Laozi, did not think that Tantan Weng not only let the Gu big braves into the door, but also left that bag of rice, said that coincided with the family without rice under the cooking. After that, the officials who made fun of Gu Zhui, who was appointed as the minister of the household department on the second day, were obviously fewer, and the laughs gradually became elegant talks. When the lieutenant reported the situation outside the fence, Gu Dacheng was sitting alone and sipping tea, listening to the meticulous return of his beloved, at first, Lord Gu did not pay too much attention, suddenly the spirit of the rhinoceros, asked in detail about the appearance of the son of the world family who wore the double swords, and even the horseman did not fall behind, the lieutenant said from memory, said that the young man had gray hair and a slender figure, with a woman’s like eyebrows and eyes, as for the horseman, he was far away, knocking not really, and he could only He could only say that he was about eight feet tall.

Gu Dacheng exudes a face of toothache expression, trembling fingers pointing the lieutenant, cursed a thing that is not enough, jumped off the brocade couch, do not care about wearing boots, a smoke run out of the residence, was the vice ambassador of the transit Lord chased to the line that stayed at the pier, just Gu Dacheng stopped suddenly, hesitation, finally did not come out of the residence, did not go with the new cool king polite pleasantries, Gu Dacheng tip-to-toe Turning back to his residence, he called out to the two older staff members and asked them to quickly write a stamped postal letter to notify all the transportation officials between Feishou and Xiangfan to move, but not a big move, but under the pretext of blockage of several major rivers and canals, he “did his best” to enlist and deploy a small number of canal boats to transport 30% of the previous year’s grain into the Liang at a rapid pace. Two staff are somewhat puzzled, Gu Dacheng but not for them to solve the puzzle of the mood, back to the tea room, tea has long been cooled, Gu Dacheng sighed, the family has a difficult to read the scripture, he knows for the official ability to have a few kilograms, making money is still considered a good hand, but the two years of the imperial court so much dazzle big action, he and his father can only see the flowers in the fog, well in the last time that my father went to the capital to rely on the Huan master, Tantan Weng some! Pointing out, Gu Dacheng this is the “hereditary replacement” of the transfer of the throne of the deputy ambassador, coupled with the old man, father and son, son to make money in the local area, the old man to go to the court when a big official, so the Gu family this time ironically to the court as a villain, and the North Ryang head-on clash, Gu Dacheng, etc. is to hold the heart of the death of the town of Fatshoucheng, are to the Tantan Weng repayment, but after all, Master Huan is Master Huan, and even personally for Gu Dacheng preaching, sent Gu family a life preserver, that is, as long as the Northern Liang side Xu Fengyen himself did not get angry, everything is to the dead pressure of the southern grain of the canal ship does not budge, the only day that this young feudal king can not hold back, personally, Gu Dacheng has a response, Master Huan has already greeted Xiangfan City side, can give 30% to the Northern Liang, and can be given to the court. He can give 30% of the grain to Beiliang at that time. Gu Dacheng although follow the meaning of the Huan masters to play this amulet, but in the end how the Northern Liang side of the calculation, Gu Dacheng heart bottom, in fact, the last time to let Chen Xiliang difficult to get down, Gu Dacheng is very apprehensive, others do not know that the Northern Liang on the importance of this shabby man, when the Huan House interviews, Tantan Weng several times mentioned in the language, said that this person is not to be underestimated, and can be allowed to let it late one day to make a difference is a good thing. Gu Dacheng, who is not very old but is old enough to show, thought of his own hard times in Feishou City in the last half of the year, touched the rice bag on his waist, and laughed bitterly: “Old brother, the rich and powerful, the Gu family has a rich, the errand is done, and later on, we will peacefully seek the noble. To death do not go to deal with the Northern Liang barbarians, now even the Feishou City’s least famous cleaners are not willing to earn my silver, really have no place to spend the money, how a miserable word ah.”

A young girl carried a dead wood pole stood at the river side of the ferry, laughed, then turned his back to the muddy river water. Northern Liang women are also many male high extraordinary, Cao Wei easily caught a shorter than him girl, see with the surname Xu some origin, want to go up to get close to, Xu Fengyen in the public and private did not want to stop, and then the martial arts Cao Wei is not bad little girl simply and efficiently slapped into the river, Cao Wei can not be too late to draw the knife, and can be said that even half a bit of the crisis did not notice. Giant son Yang Guangdou had a puzzled look on his face, Xu Fengyen softly explained: ”In the battle of Reed Swing, the eleventh Wang Yin in the world at that time of Liyang martial arts evaluation was killed by her with a single strike. Later on, when Artemisia Liu’s master fled Shenwu City, he should have also been slaughtered by her in a sneaky manner.”

Yang Guangdou was appalled plus dazed, it was only natural that Cao Wei, whose martial cultivation was miscellaneous but not refined, suffered defeat at her hands. Xu Fengnian walked to her side and asked, “Why are you coming to Beiliang now, if I remember correctly, it’s not yet time for the earlier appointment I made with Huang Sanjia ah?”

The young girl was silent. Xu Fengyen didn’t know how to make small talk that would be appropriate, smiled and said, “Then do you want to follow me? However, at this moment, there are no experts in Beiliang that are worth killing, if not for this, I wouldn’t be able to open this mouth, there is the suspicion of killing someone with a borrowed knife. I just want to walk around in the northern Liang territory, before I met you have been in Lingzhou by loitering for a month, these two years ah, really often miss your soy sauce beef.”

The young girl who did not know whether to be called Jia Jia Jia or Jia Jia Jia Jia heckled a bit. Xu Fengnian looked at the dried up pole of sunflower, then looked at her qi color, reached out to hold the young girl’s arm to check the flow of qi, and softly said, “Whether it’s Huang Sanjia’s missteps or a miraculous plan, I have to tell you the good news, when you first endured the qi transgression of Old Bastard Zhao on my behalf, I’ve already got a six-point certainty that I’m able to help you solve it. Of course must admit one thing, on my own also have great benefits, I am currently in addition to slowly cultivate Han Sheng Xuan residual red silk, the body more Liu Artemisia master carefully cultivated for half a lifetime of dozens of purple thunder, plus with the North Mang state master Yuan Qingshan to do business with a bun earned, from Confucianism and Taoism merge is still a line of separation, if there is again Zhao Xuan Su left behind the Dragon Tiger Mountain purple and gold qi, into their own, even if it is complete, and then continue. Depends on the chance, can draw the essence of Buddhism, by then the three religions merge, as long as the self into a small thousand world, I do not do not land immortals can not be said, may also be able to with four hundred years ago, the great devil GaoShuLu’s heavenly immortal realm, as well as at present with the force to prove the way of the WuDiChengWangXianZhi, all have a spell, but to get to this step, I do not know the years of the ox is it. Anyway, I don’t hide anything from you, there is one to say, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes.”

Yang Guangdou a little bit at first glance, the king of northern Liang really is not this killer girl as an outsider, these secret things, the old man is also the first time to hear, pass out the words, ten percent to set off an uproar in the rivers and lakes. Spring and Autumn three big devils, people butcher Xu primrose old death, people cat Han Sable Temple “violent death in the palace”, has three to two, Huang Longshi god of the head of the tail, most likely in hiding behind the scenes to stir up the situation, is not around the young king of the clan not only want to be the power of the Northern Liang co-owners, but also after Han Sable Temple to become a power of their own to make the whole jianghu silenced by the big Devil? In the past, Northern Liang relied on its iron horsemen and falcons to keep the jianghu people at bay, but it seems that in the future, the new King of Liang will be able to make the jianghu around Northern Liang bow down and listen to him alone?

Oh girl retracted her arm and pointed her finger at her stomach. Xu Fengnian smiled, softly said, “OK, coincidentally I am also hungry, let’s go into the city to find soy sauce beef to eat, if you dare not to eat, we will not pay!”

Cao Wei, who was dripping wet, leapt onto the bank from the river, jumped his feet and said angrily, “Didn’t we say we wouldn’t stay in Feishou City, I’m going to Huangnan County, where there are so many greenhouses and chu houses! Surname Xu, you dare to see color and forget righteousness, believe it or not I will take a knife and chop you to death!”

Xu Fengyen raised his leg in a gesture to kick Cao Dwarf to fall into the river again, and to enter the palace for a second time, Cao Wei, who was very good at finding his own way down, cursed as he ran towards the carriage. The carriage is not big, and piled up with geographic atlas, more a little girl, more narrow, good thing Cao Wei is very sensible, sitting next to Xu Yan Bing, busy wringing sleeves and squeeze water. This way traveling, Xu Fengyen has been with Yang Guangdou in the carriage to deduce the direction of the war, in which Liangzhou and Guseizhou confrontation on the western front there are two, Youzhou inverted horse pass outside the gourd mouth is also counted as one. Out of the carriage, Xu Fengyen this month in Lingzhou stop and go, not all the dignitaries will be “fortunate” to summon, according to Xu Beihao nineteen layers of officials of the realm of the division of the Wutong courtyard carefully written out a temporary still rough Northern Liang official evaluation, only emphasis on merit, light learning and reputation, thin background, Xu Fengyen only in the dark to meet with officials who honored to be on the evaluation, the trip met seven officials. Officials, this trip to see seven or eight people, hope and disappointment roughly half, the size of the officialdom, like a sieve in every household, in the hands of whoever, the person’s taste is destined to the specific way of screening, the Zhao family son of God is in the management of Zhang Julu and Zhao right age under the screening of the world, in the hands of Xu Fengyen is to screen the Beiliang, compared to the court of the Liyang, a few minutes less calm and relaxed, and a few minutes of utilitarianism, in the hands of Xu Beihao and then retired. In the hands of Xu Beihao, then the second, can only screen Lingshou, and so on, layer by layer screening, and ultimately be able to venture and sit in a fishing boat, will not be a fool. Xu Fengyen once strolling through the lingzhou, then go to youzhou, if Liangzhou is the first son of the northern Liang Dao, rich lingzhou is the mother of the extremely talented commoner son, then than Liangzhou military power to be small at the same time than lingzhou poor two do not rely on the youzhou, to the brother two state highlights the status of the status of the awkward, but the youzhou is the real focus of Xu Fengyen’s trip, in fact, it is indeed the youzhou of the king of the north of his resentment of him! The biggest, especially in Xu Fengyen accepted the title of pillar state, not like the last refused to accept Xu Snapdragon posthumous name again refused to return the imperial decree, Youzhou is very much some of the military officials jumping vigorously, and Lingzhou suffered from the disaster of prison will be kind of the door of the family vaguely echoed the trend, Xu Fengyen when he was a general in the Lingzhou, unprecedentedly did not open a wide range of killings, and who are quite good to talk to many people think that a woman’s heart, this time to go to the Yan Wenluan single-handedly hold the Youzhou, Xu Fengnian felt that he was the king of Northern Liang. This time, when he went to Youzhou, Xu Fengnian thought it was time to cut off some heads. Want to play with him, can, have to take out life to play.

The teenage assassin suddenly asked, “Do you recognize someone called Zhao Zhu?”

Xu Fengnian froze for a moment, “Of course, very familiar with him, this guy is the son of the Yanzhi King, likes to take other people’s heads to build a capital view, and we met on the Chun Shen Lake not long ago.”

The little girl with her hands up on sunflower poles said casually, “There’s also a person surnamed Nalan, I’ve seen them all.”

Yang Guangdou couldn’t suppress the trembling of his hands and looked at Xu Fenian dead on.

Xu Fengyen gave a hmmm and did not follow up.

She had met them, which naturally meant that it was Huang Sanjia who had met with Zhao Cu and Nalan Righteousness in secret.

Previously, Xu Fengyen also teased Yang Guangdou Cao Wei that Cao Changqing would be coming north to Tai’an City, then Nalan Yu Ci secretly hid in the several thousand light cavalry of His Highness Zhao Cu, and ran to meet with Huang Longshi in secret, how can it not be a more silent but more shocking northward movement?

The young girl speech is not shocking, careless lazily said: “the old yellow drunkenly said, today Zhao family son of heaven is not bad, is the son can not, good and great, and …… huh, I gave forget …… ”

Yang Guangdou’s mouth twitched.

Xu Fengnian’s heart turned over, why did Yuan Qingshan use one of the most expensive buns in the world to ask him for that copper coin? It was because when this land god was free to leave Yang, that closed disciple was none other than Zhao Casting!

Nowadays, Zhao not only has the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of his father, King Zhao Bing of Yanzhi, as his family background, Nalan Yuci’s support, but also has the “one coin contract” with Northern Liang, plus Huang Longshi has in all likelihood already placed a huge bet on this guy!

Xu Fengyen laughed: “Nalan Yuci’s painstaking management of Yan Zhidao has already given Zhao Zhi the advantage of geographical location and people’s harmony, and he has been waiting for the time of the day to come, and now it’s finally the destiny of the heavens.”

Xu Fengnian then asked himself, “But Yuan Benxi will wait with folded arms? Impossible.”
