Chapter 163 – Spring and Autumn is a field, there is an old farmer beside the field
Xu Fengyen entered Wang’s mansion in the night color, and had an eye-opening experience, among the four major counties in Huangnan, the Water Scripture King was pressed down by the Long Yi King, but the mansion’s bookish atmosphere was strong but not greasy, the carvings and paintings were very exquisite, even the maids and maidservants of the mansion seemed to have a bit more bookishness than other mansions, clear and beautiful, and the light make-up was pleasant to look at. Wang Xihua opened the ceremonial door, personally lead the way, the head of the family is not only a lifelong enemy of the Lord Secretary, but also the National Scholarship left priest Yao Baifeng’s friend, Xu Fengyen’s perception of him has always been good, thanks to the Wudang old master Wang Chonglou once to Wang Xihua Observation prophecy, evaluation is very high, and now the Wang Gongcao’s son, Jiao Wuyi, into the general’s residence in Lingshou, among the ranks of the fourteen real power lieutenants, so that both military and civil Wang’s reputation in the Shuijing greatly enhanced! If not for Li Gongde has a good son who is very competitive in the border sands, Long Yi Wang may really be overtaken, this world is no more snobbish, the children and grandchildren who have no talent go out and rely on their fathers to make a difference, and the aspirations of the great valves of the family rely on the descendants to feed the family with their successes and fame. Wang Xihua has four wives and concubines, but the children are obviously too yin and yang decline, the only son of Wang Yunshu is not in the house tonight, not in the past night and day drunkenness, but serious military enlistment, this year into the spring after the fox and dog friends of Huangnan County almost can not find the body of this good brother, because the talk is not what the military affairs, the guests and masters of the cordiality, although there is no Wang Yunshu this bootlicking presence, but the daughters of the Wang Xihua are Walking horse to see once, as to who in the end is a feast for the eyes, it is hard to say.
Anyway, Cao Wei sat next to Xu Fengyen, straightened his back, holding the hilt of his sword, and could not wait to use his eyes to scrape off a couple of pairs of meat from the body of those wonderful women, but unfortunately, these postures are not bad girls, none of them took him seriously, stained with water mist eyes are put down in the body of the young king of Beilang, I think Wang Xihua Wang Yunshu, father and son at home chatting, did not talk a lot about Xu Fengyen, the newly appointed by the imperial court, the Lord Shangzhu Guo. This Cao Wei exasperated to seven orifices of smoke, several times intentionally coughing, also did not see how much he attracted the line of sight, coupled with Xu Fengyen did not go to the grand introduction of what he is, Cao Wei to the end of the broken cans, as long as Xu Fengyen opened his mouth, he is either a snort cold grunt, or a ghostly face skimming the mouth, finally, one of the youngest daughters of the Lord of the Gong Cao amused, hiding behind the two sisters laughing and cupping their bellies, Cao Wei half-dead and alive immediately have a The spirit of the spirit, and knocked the jianghu Langzhi in the roadside stalls selling low-priced altar aphrodisiacs about the same, Wang Xihua how old, in fact, do not even need to Xu Fengyen how to introduce, it is clear that the appearance of this unimpressive knife short man is not simple, or who dares to the king of Beiliang in the hall, and also dare to tear down the stage against the dry? The big Beiliang, the assassin Xu Beihao counts one, the traveling crossbowman Li Hanlin can only be counted as half. However, their Wang family is the premier economic and academic family in Beiliang, the house of all high-minded, not to mention by Yao Baifeng praised as the world’s top three interpretation of the “Yi” Wang Xihua, did not need to use their own daughters to attach to the powerful and wealthy, of course, among the powerful and wealthy, Xu Fengyen must be excepted. Wang Xihua has a heartfelt reverence for this not-so-young Northern Liang human lord. If any of his daughters were really selected, not to say that it would give the Shui Jing Wang Clan snow, but it would certainly be a great thing to add to the cake. As for the short man with a sword, if there is a daughter and he sees eye to eye, Wang Xihua is happy to see it.
Xu Fengyen was slightly intoxicated with wine, and was quite excited about the conversation, Wang Xihua did not dare to get carried away, and only left his innocent little daughter to pour tea and wine, Xu Fengyen mentioned to Wang Gongcao that Cai Junchen had some antique paintings and calligraphy on hand, and wanted to sell them in the near future, and Wang Xihua nodded her head softly, and laughed that there were a number of valuable paintings and calligraphy on the house, but all of them had been covered by Xu Fengyen in the most prominent inscriptions of the world-known “Fake”, and he said, “I’m sorry…”. The word “fake”, Xu Fengyen unprecedentedly blushed a little, once he was young and foolish, Wutong courtyard had several precious private seals, one of them was a small seal of Da Qin, engraved with the word “Fake”, the treasured paintings and calligraphy of the royal family of the year in excellent quality did not escape His Highness’s clutches! Xu Fengyen had long been exposed to Li Yishan’s academic work, and had worked hard on the appraisal of the paintings and calligraphy, and his vision was so accurate that those “forgeries” were all authentic without exception, and Xu Fengyen’s rebellious nature in the past could be seen, but it was a coincidence that no matter how much the Central Plains scholars hated the Northern Liang, if there was a piece of calligraphy and painting with an inscribed “Fake” in the seal, it would be a “fake”. However, no matter how much the Central Plains scholar hated the Northern Liang, if one had a painting or calligraphy with the word “fake”, it was a beautiful thing that could guarantee a good income and at the same time, one could show it off to others. Before Xu Fengyen left the house, Wang Xihua sent a piece of calligraphy, which was written in her own handwriting at the time of hibernation, and can be regarded as a copy of a mutilated version of the Shui Jing Wang family motto, “Three confidants, three strangers,” “Those who are superior to themselves, those who are virtuous, and those who are interesting can be confidantes. Those who have different aspirations, those who have no temperament, those who emphasize grudges and forget favors, those who are not enemies will be strangers.” This is slightly different from the complete Wang’s family training, such as confidant in less outspoken, strangers in less virtue of thin people, which is probably Wang Xihua himself studied the study of two things for many years, the unique insights. In particular, the previous chat to the dynasties of feudalism, eunuchs for the trouble, cronyism camp three major stubborn diseases, Wang Xihua also had some not fall into the mold of the high opinion, Xu Fengyen in the past on the readers do not have a small prejudice, a few trips after the trip, and gradually get better, this night with Wang Xihua open chat, so that Xu Fengyen introspection a few points.
After going out, Cao Wei saw the girl killer boredom around the carriage wandering slowly, she did not follow into the house earlier, at this time carrying that funny withered pole walking, Cao Wei is now really afraid of the death of this eccentric girl, with Yang Guangdou’s words this is called the evil people have their own evil people to grind.
Sitting in the carriage, Xu Fengyen asked: “Wang Xihua just mentioned that Beiliang appoints officials, making merit is not as good as making a mistake, Yang Lao how do you think?”
Yang Guangdou patted his cuffs and laughed: “Originally, this was said three months earlier, it is just standing and talking without waist pain, as many as hairy magistrates and officials, more than a corpse, fewer able to do real work, to be replaced by scholars and scholars, it is the general trend of Northern Liang, Wang Gongcao’s intention is just worried about the Northern Liang pattern of turbulence and uncertainty. However, since the land of the displaced people to create a new state of displaced people, this argument makes sense, could it be that Lord Gongcao also touched the clues? Tree move dead people move live, since it is not easy to go away a Song Yan, have not been able to make Huangnan County Sheriff, then it is better to run to the flow state to find a chance, moreover, Wang Gongcao is not a pedantic scholar, he went to the flow state, in their own in the northern Liang, are good things. The officials who made mistakes in the old three states of Beiliang Dao, a brain throw to Liuzhou, there is a skillful governance and excellent reputation of Wang Xihua to appease people’s hearts, who will sell him a face, and there is a young king’s 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army to sit on the town, maybe Wang Xihua can really become the next Liuzhou Assassin.”
Xu Fengyen smiled and nodded, the first generation of Liuzhou assassin’s candidate has long been finalized, far away from the sky near the eye, it is the re-emergence of Yang Guangdou, Xu Fengyen originally intended to Chen Xiliang, just this seems to be willing to hide behind heavy curtains head of the cold man insisted on refusing to do, Xu Fengyen can not be forced to press the head of the bull to drink water, but to be honest, Chen Xiliang at this time there is also a “high hand, low” suspicion. “Suspicion, if there is no Liangmang war in the background, Liuzhou handed over to him to stew slowly, but since soon as a year or two years long border will be smoke, Xu Fengyen really do not dare to Liuzhou whole entrusted to Chen Xiliang. Yang Guangdou in the carriage is both understanding of power and change, and humane, when Xu Fengyen and then give a Xu Snapdragon “posthumous edict” of the blindfold, the old man’s age and qualifications are clearly laid out on the table, far more than the “hairless mouth” Chen Xiliang more convincing, eager to eat Xu Fengyen is afraid of pulling the seedling to help it grow, this young scholar, not only is he personally abducted from the Jiangnan Road to Northern Liang’s talents, but also the second generation of Northern Liang’s backbone of strategists that his master Li Yishan greatly valued!
The little girl sitting in the corner of the carriage to entertain herself, a moment to squeeze out a fingertip against the face of the “charming” smile, a moment to do up the hand holding the heart slightly frowning posture, or else is to learn that the big girl convergence sleeve sitting. Cao Wei again thick skin like a city wall, has been completely unable to defeat this killing power not less than the power of the land gods, silently left the warm carriages, sitting next to Xu Yan Bing sighing, complaining that they should not go out of this trip, I knew that in the back of Qingliang Mountain to stay there, but also can be less to receive a few hand knife. Xu Fengyen looked at Oh girl there to imitate from the street downtown on the woman on the body of a thousand, do not comment, warm eyes, even the old man Yang Guangdou looked at this pair of men and women to get along with the situation, are a little elusive, the former Shizi His Royal Highness or, nowadays the king of Beilang or, regardless of how the Qingliang Mountain mountain outside the comment, Yang Guangdou know that this young man, as long as did not come into his eyes, in fact, cool and unfeeling to a very large extent, but it seems to this little girl before us. However, it seems to be in front of this little girl, extra favor. Yang Guangdou after meeting the girl killer, especially clear her relationship with Huang Sanjia, several times implied Xu Fengyen from her mouth to pull out more secret information, because even if she casually uttered a few words or a name, may be able to affect the future pattern of Northern Liang trend, but Xu Fengyen is not willing to do so, Yang Guangdou can do nothing about it, now Xu Fengyen body has a lead but not hair of the deep accumulation of power, both from the great general and the Wangfei inheritance, but also from the general and the Wangfei. From the great general and the princess inherited nature, but also Li Yishan’s cultivation, as well as the accumulation of many trips and dangerous killings, Yang Guangdou constantly cautioned himself not to regard Xu Fengyen as that willful and arrogant young man again. Zhong Hongwu is a clear evidence, the old Liang King is not willing to clean up the mess, the new Liang King to clean up without fear, and even the great general was not willing to tear the face with the Liyang Zhao room, in the hands of the new Liang King, has created a kind of Northern Liang can be cut off from the vague trend of self-sufficiency, and I’m afraid that this is also the court wriggle and finally loosened the hand of a few points of the root of the CaoLiang grain. The new Liang King and the new Northern Liang have begun to let the court understand one thing: Xu Snapdragon gave me Xu Fengyen’s burden, I carried it, and we are willing to defend the gateway for the court, which is the bottom line, if you come back to three times nauseating temptation, first weigh how much you have to pay.
Beiliang has been displaying troops on the eastern front, refusing to return the holy decree of granting a posthumous title. The court seems to be infuriated, immediately return the color, not to take away the love. But at the same time, but also had to make the sealing of the title and the ban on the two-handed compensation, during this period, if Xu Fengnian intentionally, once again refused to go on the pillar, I’m afraid that the court would rather rot in the Xiangfan grain silo, will not be a grain of grain transported into the city of Feishou, and may also be a thunderous means to block the neighboring states into the Liang major post road.
All these are the collusion that requires both sides to carefully weigh the pros and cons. There would only be more of this kind of back and forth in the future.
The little girl said coldly, “Over the years, Old Huang has taken me to stop at more than a hundred places, he said that they are all farmlands where he has planted crops, some of them are deserted, some of them are still green, some of them are not good for harvesting, but in the end, they are harvesting.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “My master and Chu Lushan both see Huang Longshi as the biggest and most powerful spy in the Spring and Autumn, whoever can take over his entire spy system will have the upper hand. But none of us know how he operates, how he selects the rice seedlings, how he draws water for irrigation, how he pays attention to the growth, how he harvests the rice in the fall, no one knows how Huang Longshi does it.”
The little girl said seriously, “Dabble, drink, chat, curse, cheat, leave. Change places and do this again.”
Yang Guangdu held his forehead and sighed. Heaven’s greatest difficulty, Spring and Autumn’s greatest secret, was given to the little girl’s twelve words of truth so sloppily carried over.
The little girl tilted her head and asked, “You don’t ask me where those hundred places are and who the hell are those people?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and laughed, “Northern Liang is too busy to take care of itself, it doesn’t have the energy nor the ability to go and fight with all the lords of the world.”
The little girl heckled, “If you ask me, I can’t remember a few.”
Yang Guangdou felt that it was really a sin to spend time with these two, and somewhat understood Cao Wei’s miserable mood.
Xu Fengnian stretched out his hands, jokingly stretching the young girl’s slightly rounded cheeks.
The young girl was not angry and said vaguely, “I don’t understand what you said about the merging of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, but Old Huang said that there is a pair of medicines on you.”
Xu Fengnian thought for a moment, “I see, Longshi Huang should be talking about the bowl of blood that that Dragon Tree Monk gave me to drink, but I haven’t been able to feel it for the past two years, so I didn’t take it seriously.”
The young girl tried her best to think about it and added, “There was a Gao Shu Lu four hundred years ago, the one you talked about some time ago, I just remembered, Old Huang mentioned him, saying that this guy is half dead, half alive, somewhere in Tai’an City, and is a life preserving talisman for the Zhao family, originally used to suppress Wang Xianzhi. Tiger Dragon Mountain seems to …… meh, this matter forgotten.”
Xu Fengnian withdrew his hand and flexed his finger to nod on her forehead again, “It’s Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
The young girl let out an oh.
Xu Fengnian and her side by side against the car wall, softly said, “others can not figure out what Huang Longshi so flipping figure, I understand a little bit, cultivate the body and the family to rule the country and calm the world, has always been Confucianism purpose, but Huang Longshi is obviously to be a step higher, because he does not have the emperor in his eyes, he is all alone, would not be able to use to cultivate the body and the family, do not put the emperor in his eyes, and also do not have to go to help the Emperor to rule and pacify the world, that’s why he can be different from anyone, he probably just wants a peaceful world that none of us can see or even think about.”
The young girl nodded and reached out to point at her knee, “Yeah, that’s probably what it means. There’s also Old Huang who just said that this thing isn’t for kneeling.”
Xu Fengnian fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, “This old farmer who overturned the entire Chunqiu field.”
The young girl bent her knees and rested her chin on her knees, “Old Huang said that he is also going to die.”
