Chapter 029 – Burning paper is not easy to die easily

Only seven points left unopened His Highness, in the diligence of picking off the thousands of strands were implanted in the body of Huang Baozhuang refractory qi, the new opening of the ground cang point, with this time the body of the sword qi nurtured Rolling Dragon Wall, surprisingly, a one huh into the sword qi, destroyed a lotus flower. Lotus pond water shallow, unusual, daytime bathing and dressing with two maids asked, only to know that this lotus is a rare dry hibiscus, not only can not grow in the rising and falling in the running water, and aversion to moisture like dry, root dipping in the water will be too heavy corruption withered, pond water storage is extremely delicate, if cultivated properly, the flowering to be more than the unusual lotus in the morning for a few months, the flowering period is also long, a lotus value is not very expensive, and therefore there are ten gold lotus nicknames, and Harmonious name of the shrew lotus, the general affluent family can only cylinder plant one or two plants, even if remarkable, hundreds of ponds, neither the silver smashed up, but also do not have the energy to take care of over, see the Wei House of the family bottom of the thick.

After the mouth of the sword qi chopping green lotus, Xu Fengyen only feel comfortable body, qi running no longer half a point of stagnation, the great yellow court of the wonderful infinite, the most shallow and straightforward is the ears and eyes unusually, Xu Fengyen just seemed to be in accordance with the recipe for the eyes closed and concentrated, but in the heart of the heart to listen to the slow bloom of a budding lotus, in the process of the sword qi rolling dragon wall, along the veins of the raging flow, and the pool of that bud’s shyness is the opposite of the stretch, the sword qi rolls dragon wall, along the veins of the surging flow, and the pool that bud shyness is the opposite. It was a pity that His Highness the World Son had only supported it for an hour before he couldn’t hold on to the bursting of the majestic qi in his body. Thinking that after the opening of the six orifices, one can stay up all night to wait for the full bloom of a lotus flower, Xu Fengyen stretched his waist and laughed to himself, “A good man should be long lasting.”

Xu Fengnian sat back to the table, weighing the family’s bottom, those handles of flying swords, practiced to be considered valuable, but destined to be a pile of scrap metal in a short period of time, not useful, although the process of drinking blood into the tire is very hard, but now there is no sheepskin fur old man with two sleeves of green snakes, relying on this stupid method to raise the sword is also another kind of sharpening, the world to eat a few points of suffering to gain a few points of interest in good things, it is very difficult to find. Once the sword is complete, into the finger Xuan will not be as far away as it is now. The body of five Shu shy to build the skin, is very tricky side, quite practical, as for the body and wear a silk brocade armor, water and fire does not invade the knife and gun, what is nonsense, really on the first grade experts, will not hold out, but to deal with the unusual knife chopping and sword hacking of the sneak attack is still some benefit. Knife spectrum tore away six pages, the most useful, undoubtedly the latest page of detailed analysis of the sword rolling dragon wall, not only inadvertently help to break through a hole, and this period of time the qi diligently and unremittingly go busy not to go simple, only to realize that the initial obscurity stagnation is very difficult to get used to as a matter of nature, should really be the first bitter after the sweet of the old saying that old saying sincere not deceive people. At first, from the thousands of secret manuals to pick up the essence of the twelve strokes within the whale stacked thunder cover armor, every day in the mind repeatedly with the divine will to confirm, waiting for the day to be able to accumulate thin hair.

When I chose to sneak into the fish and dragon gang to go to the north mang, choose to stay in the city as a footing, one is the north of youzhou less war, more space in the jianghu, and then stay in the city pastor Tao Qianzhi is a person who must die, this person is not only familiar with the art of war strategy, force is superb, especially on the north liang military and political drilling deep, had already done in the south of the north mang Gusetsu state of the generals of the rush because of that bad luck to the extreme of the imperial clan parade, was Chen Zhi Bao with a strange force of the military, the army is not a good thing. Because of the bad luck to the extreme royal family parade, was Chen Zhi Bao with a force of strange troops to drive straight into a hit killed, was implicated, demoted to stay in the city to do the city pastor, in fact, the obvious depreciation of the dark promotion, the official position seems to be down a grade, but in the border to stay in the city of the hands of the military and political power, is considered to be out of the military cage by misfortune, as long as a little merit will be the Dragon Waist state to hold the order of the festival or even the North Mang empress green eyes in the eye, far more than the hierarchical North Mang army hard to climb up to the opportunity to be bigger.

According to the information searched for by Bei Liang, Tao Qian Zhi marching formation has unique insights, especially good at trickery, violent nature, the most Bei Mang dynasty and the field is known that this person every day to kill a Bei Liang soldiers to sleep, from Gusei state to stay in the city, do not bring a family, do not bring a penny of silver, do not bring a treasure, only with six prison wagons, imprisoned more than 40 battlefield captured Bei Liang soldiers, after a month will be killed! However, Tao Chengmu has a very close relationship with many of his fellow generals in the North Mang Border Army, and there are always new prisoners transported to the city of Leaving behind for him to cut off their heads with his own hands every day. It can be said that Tao Qianzhi is the North Mang court by all the forces are optimistic about the young and strong officials, both military tactics, but also has the popularity of the people, sooner or later will be carp jump Dragon Gate, become the future of the North Mang royal court an indispensable cornerstone.

According to the North Mang law, the city pastor can have sixty iron armor guards, Tao Qianzhi himself should have the strength of the second grade. Xu Fengnian weighed the weight of both sides and smiled grimly. Mutual assassination on the border of the two dynasties, very frequent, but most of them are dead soldiers, the possibility of getting it is not high, the North Mang once put down blood money to create a team of assassins, from the dynasty within the top clans were claimed two to three experts, and then with the military origin of the elite Jianzhu more than a hundred, a total of one hundred and thirty people, divided into three batches of infiltration into the Beiliang, avoiding the truth and avoiding the truth, the target of assassination are all the military and political in the Beiliang in the middle class, did not want to be Beiliang a watchful eye, not to be a watchful eye. Wanted to be a Beiliang wait for a rabbit, Chen Zhi Bao, Yuan Zuozong and Chu Lushan, three righteous son of the chest in three ways to three thousand iron horsemen mixed with the Beiliang Royal House of nearly a hundred eagle dogs, will be killed, leading to the North Mang dynasty and the countryside vibration, the female emperor is into a large-scale blood cleaning, head off a lot of, but in fact, only a few hibernation in the court of North Mang for many years of North Mang pawns, the funny thing is that the head is to Check to the head of the right phase of the North Mang, only to know that one of the phase of the cultivation of spies is a double-sided people, North Mang and North Liang business are all come to refuse, relying on the right phase of the House of the heavenly gold signboard, selling military secrets, so that the original right phase of the power of the temple to blame resignation, so far is still in the body of the white man to hide in the mountains.

Liangmang entanglement of grudges in two places, is not a couple of words can be said clearly, like an anvil, today smeared with your blood, tomorrow will add a layer of my layer, layer upon layer, has long been solidified into a disgusting blood monument.

Softly and softly knocking on the door, Xu Fengyen knew that it was one of the Qiu Shui Chun Lang arrived, said, “Come in.”

Is relatively more small and delicate physique some of the spring to get, fair skin, long a slightly rounded inconspicuous melon face, such a small woman, slightly harder on the couch to worry about rubbing the body, worthy of being worth fifty taels of gold of the little girl. Unfortunately, Xu Fengnian one day shall not be all the rhubarb court, to do a day of vegetarian monks, Wutong Court so many more than eighty Wen warblers, His Highness does not say that the cultivation of the other, just to say that the power of the good, is simply singable transcendent!

The little maid walks into the house with her food box, her slender little legs quietly exposed from under the hem of her skirt, her movements playfully hooked on the door, seeing Xu Gongzi looks, red-faced smile, she puts the food box on the table, stands aside and lowers her head timidly and says: “Sister Qiu Shui said that she would let me come to warm up the bed tonight, I don’t know when Gongzi will be resting.” She didn’t have the cheek to say the words bed-servant and looked at her toes, her ears reddening. In fact, during the cold spring, it is very common for maidservants in large families to warm the bed and quilt. When it comes to the summer heat, the maid servant fan no matter how sore hands, according to the rules of the night are not allowed to doze off, she and Qiu Shui are carefully trained out of the Jasper, waiting for the master familiar, but they are in the Wei House, after all, few opportunities to show up, to see this is the master of the handsome son, love is far from love, a woman’s natural blush and timidity, it is true. Xu Fengyen opened the food box, pinched up a piece of melt-in-your-mouth jujube cake, looked up at the maid, face and figure only seventy communications, but had a pair of good eyebrows, double eyebrows charming, small age will be charm hidden, do not know that when the spring will be out of the horse everyone commented on the eyebrow charm alone worth thirty gold, His Highness the son of the long time in the flowers to see the beautiful flowers, eyesight naturally not bad.

Xu Fengnian reached out and picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to this girl, smiling: “No hurry, sit down and chat first.”

The little girl soft Oh a sound, slightly sideways to sit opposite Xu Fengnian, received the pastry is still lowered, small mouth slightly open and close, eat carefully and slowly.

Xu Fengyen said something that was a big spoiler: “You guys should leave behind this side of the city to pay homage to your ancestors and sweep the graves, right, where can I find a yellow paper seller? In two days it will be Qingming, I want to burn paper on the street corner to worship the south side.”

The pretty maid looked up and was about to speak, realizing that there was still pastry in her mouth, fearing that her vague voice would be disrespectful to Mr. Xu in front of her, she hurriedly swallowed, and stretched out her fingers to wipe away a few grains of pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes naturally contained spring, and softly laughed and said, “Mr. Xu, please just order, and Chunlang will be ready for Mr. Xu in the next day.”

Xu Fenian smiled and nodded, reaching out to wipe away the cake crumbs for her that he hadn’t actually wiped off, squinting his eyes and snickering, “Here it is.”

The little maidservant winks and lowers her head, not daring to see anyone.

Qiushui knocked on the door and entered, seeing this scene and blushing in passing. She brought over a dozen or so celebrity paintings and calligraphy, the master said that he wanted to ask Mr. Xu to take a look at them and identify the authenticity, most of the paintings and calligraphy were copper shafts or rosewood ebony shafts, none of which were lightweight. Xu Fenian got up to help move them to the table, Qiu Shui saw that Chun Lang was still dumbfounded, secretly nudged her forehead and gently reprimanded, “You don’t know to help the Duke add oil when the lamp is dimmed?”

Chunlang aggrievedly skimmed the corner of her mouth, seeing sister Qiushui slightly glaring, hurriedly smiled playfully and went to add more oil to an exquisite oil lamp in the style of a white jade Goddess of Mercy resting on a vase. Xu Fengyen on these small fights do not think, hands wiped the cuffs, after Qiu Shui will be removed from the food box, slowly spread on the table a painting and calligraphy, smiled, is the previous dynasty Chen Chun’s “cool summer flowers”, very coincidental, the real work is in the northern Liang Wang Fu, not in a hurry to give the truth, re-roll up on the corner of the table, open the second scroll, is Lv Ji’s “Gui Chrysanthemum mountain fowl map”, colorful, drop the brush is delicate, three hundred years! To blank the later collector’s seal cover densely packed, enough to prove the rarity of this painting and calligraphy, Xu Fengyen appreciation of the matter, with the national scholar Li Yishan ears and eyes for many years, the power is not shallow, even if there is no those a wide range of seals, but also know that it is the authenticity of the undoubtedly, once again closed, open the third, is the old Southern Tang Dynasty after the master of the “Plum under the horizontal qin map,” but is a fake, the interesting thing is that not to talk about the authenticity of the pen, only the pen, is clearly the The latter is a step higher.

After Xu Fenian finished reading all of it, he softly said, “Qiu Shui Chun Lang, fetch a pen and paper.”

Qiu shui two fingers lift sleeve, one hand grinding, spring get dare not lazy, help in the cooked XuanXuan cover on a side of paperweight, Xu Fengyen pen slowly, has a leisurely leisurely calm calm, Qiu shui and spring get a glance at each other, from each other’s eyes to see the stunning, they obviously did not expect Xu Gongzi write a handful of beautiful words, vaguely to the level of the hidden clumsiness, they think that another ten years of hard work can not be written out. Eleven calligraphy and painting, Xu Fengyen deliberately identify not three true and false, pretending not to dare to say, recognize the wrong two out-of-the-way, the rest of the six accurate, the latter eight, are given why it is the real fake detailed reasons, as well as the relative valuation, which valuation and the real situation and each have the wrong right, since the old fox Wei Feng intention to test, His Royal Highness can not be too honest, as for the pen written more than a hundred words of the lower case, the pen will of course be covered up. Of course, there will be some cover, this kind of horse foot how will not reveal. When the ink is slightly dry, Qiu Shui hands on the lowercase love, carefully put into the pocket, stooped down to hold up the heavy calligraphy and painting, will go back to the master side of the work.

Xu Fengnian smiled at Chunlang and said, “Go and give Qiu Shui a hand, you don’t need to warm the blanket today.”

Chun Lang’s heart was half relieved and half lost, her eyes widened with a puzzled look.

Xu Fengnian gently patted her cheek and said, “Let’s talk after Qingming.”

Qiu Shui and Chun Lang both held the calligraphy and painting out of the house, in the corridor there was another maidservant of the same age who held the umbrella for Qiu Shui when she came, she was taken aback when she saw Chun Lang, the original jealousy quietly faded away for a few moments, and the smile in her eyes was immediately sincere and much more, from the master’s study to here in fact, there is no need to hold an umbrella to block the rain, only that the calligraphy and painting in his arms did not know the price of a few, solemn, before there was an extra oil paper umbrella. Three maids walk back together, naturally a few sentences between the women teasing and laughing, autumn water spring from the same horse breeding everyone’s hands, love as biological sisters, and that came from a different way of the maidservant some subtle disconnect, but intelligent women get along, are born with a thick mask of heavy makeup and colorful.

Xu Fengnian closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed. The second time he went out with Li Chun Gang little mudman to travel, as long as there is a bed to sleep, most of the time it is such a self-inflicted posture, and do not remove the soft armor, the house must be adjacent to or looking at the old sword god Li, it can be imagined that His Highness is afraid of death to what kind of realm.

After being reported, there are thirty elite soldiers of the city pastor’s office broke in, and the bloody head was hung on the flagpole in the school martial arts field. The official has a small background, and his clan sued to the side of the deputy order of the Dragon Waist Prefecture, and the result was sunk into the sea, and no one in the city dared to bully the General Tao who was new to his post and was not familiar with the territory anymore.

Tao Qianzhi did not bring his family, but the city pastor who was the fourth-grade military general of the city is not a rigid man, every few days will spend money to invite the city’s greenhouse red man to come to the House of warmth, how much silver to spend never go a penny, at first some of the greenhouses do not dare to want to be forcibly stuffed into the hands of the city past a period of time in fear, did not see the city pastor adults have to settle scores with the signs of this is a sigh of relief, plus The general’s courageous deeds continue to spread into the city to stay, the perception of Tao Qianzhi also gradually word-of-mouth praise like a tide, many green houses have taken the initiative to send the first-class flower girl to the city pastor’s house, this is a night of dozens of gold price, only open the price of a few tens of silver, Tao Qianzhi is not overly concerned about the details, more and more appear to be a general’s temperament, so that originally afraid of thieves to come such as combing the official over the city to stay such as the razor’s people peace of mind a lot.

Rainy, Tao Qianzhi sitting in the empty shabby study, picking the lamp at night to read a book of war.

A lieutenant brought from the Gusei state stood in the doorway and respectfully said: “Jade toad state Hongyan county princess visited in the rain.”

Tao Qianzhi frowned and said blandly, “If she enters the mansion alone, she will not be seen.”

A sable-covered, plump woman appeared beside the lieutenant, followed by a brocade-clothed old man with his hands in his sleeves; she crossed the threshold and put her hands on the jade belt granted by His Majesty the Emperor, saying daintily, “Yo, General Tao is so official, or is he afraid of causing gossip?”

The valiant and extraordinary City Pastor Lord frowned and put down his books, he was actually not the least bit scornful of this imperial clansman with a waist-buckled Xianbei head, and coldly laughed, “County Lord’s reputation for voluptuousness is far-reaching, and she prefers to keep a face, so a small left behind City Pastor wouldn’t dare to be in the eyes of the County Lord.”

The brocade-clothed old man gave a heavy cold snort.

The corner of Tao Qianzhi’s mouth curled up, his eyes full of disdain. Hand carrying a satin umbrella sable over the forehead of the Hongyan County Lord waves of laughter, flamboyant, waving his hand to indicate that the county king’s old retinue do not mind, staring at the rude and unreasonable middle-aged city pastor, winks such as silk, said: “General Tao, originally, this county lord does not want to go into this mansion, every day to kill people, the yin qi is too heavy, this county lord is not as good as the Tao General such yang qi is vigorous, I’m afraid of being wronged by the ghosts! Stalking, and it’s almost time for the Qingming Festival ……”

Tao Qianzhi coldly said, “If the county princess does not have a serious matter, forgive me for not seeing you off.”

This rich beauty in the top class of Yu Chuan State has been rushed several times, but still does not see anger, smiled and said, “Well, not to go around in circles with General Tao, it is someone who let this Sheriff’s Master to pass a sentence to General Tao on behalf of the county, eight words, on Qingming Day, don’t go out.”

Feeling teased, Tao Qianzhi’s anger was rampant, and the study was full of killing opportunities.

The brocade-clothed old man’s double sleeves tumbled like waves.

The Sheriff gently patted her cheeks and apologized, “Yaaaa, this Sheriff this stupid mouth, blindly say what miles, say wrong, it is indeed eight words, Qingming time, should not go out. General Tao don’t believe it, say these eight words of people, this county master dare not have any disobedience.”

Behind Tao Qianzhi’s body, his tone did not have half a point of ups and downs, coldly said, “Do not send!”

County Mistress Hongyan flung her rain-stained satin flower umbrella and smiled, “This County Mistress keeps in mind Tao Chengmu’s hospitality today.”

Under the eaves of the courtyard, the brocade-clothed old man whose force was definitely higher than Tao Qianzhi’s took over the umbrella and tilted it towards this female master before indignantly saying, “Sheriff, why don’t you let the old slaves take action to teach this unkind little fifth-ranked city pastor a lesson?”

The sable-covered woman who didn’t rush to step into the rain curtain stretched out her palm to catch the rain, didn’t answer the question, but just said with mesmerized eyes, “What’s the heavens crying for?”

Two days later in the morning, the rain is getting heavier, the road is full of mud, the city pastor Tao Qianzhi brought thirty of his own riders to the outside of the city, to visit the grave of a soldier who died in the war and whose ancestry was left behind in the city.

Qingming heavy rain.

It’s not easy to burn paper and it’s easy to die.
