Chapter 012 Less Jiangnan old Liangmang
Xu Fengyen walked out of the village, looked back, remembered his master Li Yishan had “sword and guts chapter” mentioned the marketplace, probably means to say that travelers see a few points of starbursts, think carefully, only to know that the weaving lady picking lamp embroidery. Thinking of this, His Highness smiled, the teenage years often hundreds of taels of silver to buy psalms, buy all is some of the wind and snow moaning, now look back, or Li Yishan, these similar to Xiao Niang Xu Qing home porridge and vinegar cabbage poems, to warm the stomach and sweetness.
See no one in the four, His Highness violently qi surging up, the figure like a flying deer in the snow, swept to the inverted horse pass. Huangfu Ping this person of course has real talent, the key is ruthless enough, anyway, the family is broken, can be disowned, only to do a clear break the qualifications of the game, but really let His Highness moved, or Huangfu Ping that a hand of the transfer scheme, is about to anticipate that his son’s nature is simple and mellow, can not hold up the beam of the Huangfu family in the future, or to the older brother’s guilt, and decided to choose to let their own son to replace his nephew, Huangfu! Qingfeng to death, so ruthless to let a person’s teeth cold cold jianghu lords, even if to the officialdom dyestuff tank, like a fish in water.
A positive four general title of the fruit of the Yi lieutenant, said big not big, said small not small, big, for example, holding the tiger symbol commanding half of Youzhou military power Huaihua general, I’m afraid we must cause the Youzhou military spared no effort of violent rebound, small, give a fifth-grade Lang will be excluded from the family alone, talking to speak full of blisters no one is happy to listen, so the Northern Liang Royal Prince His Highness weighing under the throw out of the a Fruit of the Yi lieutenant, and after the Huangfu Ping is a thousand miles of good horse or bad horse donkey mule, pull out to walk on the know, Xu Snapdragon heard after the face is obviously very pleased. For Youzhou, a carrot, each position is to fight to the head, but for the Northern Liang Wang Fu that has been cold-eyed father and son, who climbed up and who fell down, not simply a clean official sitting position corrupt officials get out of the way so non-black or white.
If the clean official is a mediocre official, if the corrupt official is a capable official, which one is more favorable to the foundation of Beiliang? All need to be carefully calculated, just like this inverted horse pass storm, Xu Fengyen stood in the position of His Highness, more appreciative of the Zhou Ziru father and son of the means, rather than save the fish and dragon gang of Han Tao, but in this case, the former should be left behind? If this deputy lieutenant of the folding and surnamed Chen have a thousand relations, to the reverse horse pass favorable, to the northern Liang Xu family is a rotten sore hidden trouble, and how to dispose of it? Everything affects the whole body, everyone has a backing background and favorites, the whole Beiliang entangled into a mess, is not Xu Fengyen a knife two or three knives can be split cleanly?
Sage Zhang Fu Zi famously said that the rule of the big country such as cooking a small fish, for the politicians, in fact, is the light said beautifully light, belonging to the standing yell not waist pain ah.
Xu Fengyen near the inverted horse pass, slowed down the body, to the inn only to know the fish and dragon gang has gone to the pass, rushed to trot to see waiting for a long time a face of annoyance of the gang, Xu Fengyen apologized and smiled, from the hands of Wang Dashi took the reins of the steed, and a group of people today, without incident smoothly over the pass, so that the fish and dragon gang is not a good thing is not only last night to lead the soldiers to kill the Zhou Ziru, there are also the deputy lieutenant of the folding and flushing Zhou Xian, a come to the personal! Instead, the biggest talisman of the Fish and Dragon Gang, Lieutenant Han, is nowhere to be seen. Xiao Medaka continued to walk side by side with Liu Nirong, observed the face of this pleased disciple, glanced at Xu Fengnian behind him, and softly said: ”Last night’s private killings of the soldiers of the Inverted Horse Pass by the family name Xu, the master seems to be letting him go out to take the blame, but in fact, he wants to let the Inverted Horse Pass to test the depths of this Lingshou general’s appendage, to do a big business that can’t afford to lose money like this, if you don’t even know about each other’s family backgrounds, you’re not very secure. Not very stable, Nirong you need to know the good intentions of the teacher ah.”
Liu Nirong said expressionlessly, “The second gang master is too serious, this heart, Liu Nirong naturally know.”
Hearing the second master of this cold and detached name, Xiao Medan eyes surfaced a touch of displeasure, but see she did not seize his own braid not let go, but also forced to endure, if this point of determination are not, how to sit steadily in the second master of the twenty years. He Xiao Medaka is tied to a line of grasshoppers with the Fish and Dragon Gang, and later want to drag his family to live a good life with a broad hand, it is inevitable to deal with Liu Nirong, and this time to suffer some anger, but also worth it. Regardless of whether she recognizes the relationship between master and disciple, there is no big obstacle, Xiao Medan see people very accurate, know Liu Nirong and the old master of the same is a knife mouth tofu heart, the big thing is approaching, hard not to be able to heart, last night, the storm, Liu Nirong do not care to stop the ground in the front, can be seen on the end of the line. Besides, the business of this trip is related to the rise and fall of the Fish and Dragon Gang in the next ten years, without his Xiao Medaka to take care of it, can do it up? With Gongsun Yang, this piece of elm that can’t produce a fart with a few sticks?
Wang Dashi realized that he was fortunate to share a difficult situation with Xu Gongsun Yang, and today he no longer cares about the face of his brothers and sisters, and he trotted along under Xu Fengnian’s horse, and whispered with some embarrassment, “Xu Gongsun Yang, it was hard to memorize four or five hundred words, but I forgot some of them when I memorized them.”
Seeing the guilt and chagrin in the teenager’s eyes, Xu Fengyen smiled and comforted, “It doesn’t matter, just let nature take its course, memorizing this kind of thing, it’s not good for you to care too much about it, instead, it’s easy to forget it, take your time, anyway, there’s still a while to go before we arrive at the Northern Mang left the city behind. But the ugly words in advance, this section no longer valuable, but also a relatively complete and complete set of martial arts recitation, remember not to be heard, then you jumped into the river also can not be washed. If you have the habit of talking in your sleep, I would advise you to seal your mouth before you sleep.”
Wang Dashi secretly rejoiced, “Luckily, I’m a dead sleeper and can’t be woken up by thunder. It’s just that the snoring is very loud, so it’s good that I don’t talk in my sleep.”
Half an hour after leaving the inverted horse pass, behind them came the roar of hooves, which made the windy fish and dragon gang look at each other, hastily arrayed, when they saw the figure of the inverted horse pass Tianzhi Gongzi Zhou Ziru, even the old geezer such as Xiao Dang had a burst of scalp numbness.
However, after recognizing that Zhou Xiaoyan only brought two of his own guards, he was slightly relieved, and did not look like he was settling scores. Zhou Ziru after stopping the horse, raised his arm, a wave of young members of the fish and dragon gang envied by the world’s son style is obvious, a sturdy cavalry behind the satchel on the horse’s back of the two boxes unloaded, put in front of Liu Nirong and Xiao Medallion, Zhou Ziru looked at Liu Nirong, calmly smiled and said: “This is the Zhou Mou on the misunderstanding of the last night of the little compensation, but also hope that Ms. Liu to accept. In the future, if the Fish and Dragon Gang passes through the Pouring Horse Pass again, Zhou Mou guarantees that there is no need for any road guide official disk, and the city gates will be opened wide, unimpeded.”
Liu Nirong’s eyes reddened, her hands clenched the reins, but in the end, she still managed to squeeze out a smile, one word at a time bursting out from between her teeth, slowly saying, “Liu Nirong thanked Mr. Zhou on behalf of the Fish and Dragon Gang for not taking into account the former suspicion.”
Zhou Ziru huffed, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile, then slowly patted his horse and turned around.
Liu Nirong looked at the gang members who only had fear in their eyes but less hatred, her eyes were bleak and she said in a deep voice, “Take the box and continue to rush.”
It is said that the jianghu grudges jianghu, but the world is unpredictable, once dipped into the official government, there are a few jianghu sects can not bow down, do not bow down the head, also can only lose the head, especially after the king of the north Liang year horse trampled the jianghu, the creation of the jianghu passed the head of the bloody rules, it is more so. Nowadays, in addition to the jianghu Longhu Mountain Wu family sword mound East Vietnam sword pool of these superb status of the clan, the rest of the large and small factions, everyone’s household records in the register, live really are not moist, decades ago that “you are an official old man lazily bird you, nonsense on the chopping up of you, and then far away” of the recklessness of the heroic, has long since evaporated, the wind flow always be Rain and wind blowing away, heroism is also all by the iron horse hooves trampled flat to go.
Even the top ten valiant valves have been tossed to pieces by the Northern Liang iron horsemen, a day to day fighting in the jianghu counts for nothing.
Wang Dashi softly asked: “Xu Gongzi, the northern barbarians look like what ah? Will they have eyes like bronze bells and hands like bushels, all of them are eight or nine feet tall and strong as oxen?”
Xu Fengnian shook his head and laughed: “It’s just like that, there won’t be an extra arm or leg. When you are half a decade later, you can see the streets full of northern barbarians, will know that the little ladies there are just as delicate and supple, it’s a pity that you kid don’t have any free silver on your body, or else you can go to stay in the city’s green house to find a girl to taste fresh, it is also counted as riding to kill the enemy for our Liyang Dynasty on another battlefield.”
Wang Dashi reddened a tender face that was still untouched by the weather and hemmed and hawed.
Unluckily, Liu Nirong rushed over to talk to Xu Fengyen about some official business, and when she heard this, she angrily shot her horse and turned around to leave.
Further on, there is no official road to speak of, just two dynasties of merchants and traders to and fro stepped out of the road, but still quite flat and wide, can accommodate two horses and gallop.
Fish and Dragon Gang at noon to find a high slope of loess to stop for a rest, a little big big team go out walking, stop high non-stop low is common sense, otherwise in the horse bandits rampage across the border of North Liang and North Mang, was a dozen riders of bandits condescending to a rush will be killed or injured, as for the small group of people, no great ability, met you are standing on the top of the mountain is meaningless, the same was robbed robbed of his life. Xu Fengyen is still out of the group of temperament, fish and dragon gang in the reverse horse gate ate a bloody loss, the culprits of the trip to the north of Mang is more hate and dislike, a little bit of contact with the inside of the Liu Nirong and Xiao-clang of course, he is even more not good, Xu Fengyen is also happy that no one disturbed, nibbling a piece of crumpled dry cake, squatting at the edge of the slope to look into the distance, the eye full of desolation, muttering a sentence: “less not go to Jiangnan, old not going to Liangmang.”
Wang Dashi came to squat beside Xu Fengnian and asked curiously, “Mr. Xu, I’ve never read a book, what does that mean?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and explained, “This is from an erotic novel ‘First Snow’, it says that Jiangnan has a good scenery, the gentle land is a hero’s mound, the young man is not firm in his heart, and when he sees the charming flavor early, it is hard to have the ambition to build a career. Liangmang border is dilapidated and depressed, the older people, it is easy to feel the world, full of chest gully are pathos, the hero is late, it will be sad and hurt lungs.”
Wang Dashi let out an oh, scratched his head and said, “When Mr. Xu said this, I barely understand a little.”
Xu Fengyen joked, “Miss Liu must be fond of that book ‘The First Snowfall’, if you have the chance to go to a restaurant and listen to the storytellers, you will be able to know a little bit about women’s mind.”
Wang Dashi almost choked on a mouthful of meatloaf he was swallowing, coughed, and said with an embarrassed face, “I can’t drink wine.”
Xu Fengyen laughed, picked up the water bag and took a sip to moisten his throat, not teasing this teenager who might not have the chance to go to Jiangnan in his life anymore.
Wang Dashi was always ashamed of himself in front of this Mr. Xu, he didn’t stay longer, after a moment of silence, he left in a wise manner, Xu Fengyen put away the dried cakes and water bag, turned his head to see the Fish and Dragon Gang still resting and chatting, without seeing how he acted, he flew out of his sleeve with a pocket-sized short sword.
He stabbed his finger with the short sword and dripped a bead of blood onto the sword body.
If it is an ordinary short sword, the blood beads will slide down, but this body of turquoise two-inch-long sword, actually seems to be Tongxuan living things, the blood will be sucked into the body of the sword.
Deng Ta’a had twelve flying swords, this one was a green plum.
Xu Fengyen dripped three drops before retrieving the short sword Qingmei.
Nurture the sword.
If you want to kill someone with your sword one day, then you must not slack off for at least a thousand days.
