Chapter 152: Serving the Table

Vastly, holding a silver bottle across the West.

Zhao Kai walked a road exactly like the white-robed monk who traveled 10,000 miles to the west back then.

Zhao Kai and his entourage, in addition to two hundred riders primrose feather forest guards, there are more than a dozen waist tie yellow belt wear gold sword of the inner guards, young strong and ginger each accounted for half of the old ginger, casually take out an old ginger block of years, are more than twenty years ago, the famous one side of the martial arts leader. In addition, there is that in the palace by his majesty and a knee without heir to the mother very net weight of the Tantric female Dharma King, shaved off three thousand trouble silk, but did not reduce her posture temperament, but rather let her face that can not be said to be soft and charming or dignified more and more compelling, worthy of the body of six phases of the six pearls of the bodhisattva.

Zhao Kai has just walked through the world’s most dangerous sword pavilion known as the yellow crane fly but, rubbed his buttocks, looked back and asked the side of that indeed do not need to eat earthly smoke and fire of the female bodhisattva, “Longhu Mountain Tianshifu’s” Huanhu Jing “is not to say that the Taoist ancestor from here to the Western Region? Also said that the old gentleman left three thousand words, then incarnated Buddha west to the quicksand, how come I did not feel what immortal gas, nor what Buddha gas?”

The woman who once extradited ten thousand ghosts out of Xiangfan in front of Beiliang Shizi and the old sword god Li Chungang did not ride a horse, and has been like an ascetic monk insisting on walking, and said flatly, “There is purple qi coming from the east to the west, just that you don’t know the mountain when you are in the mountain.”

Zhao Kai hey, pointing to his nose, “said I? You really don’t say, before I met you over at Xiangfan City, there was a very fairy old-timer in the reeds who boasted that my qi was second only to a deceased princess in Western Chu. Wise eyes like a torch!”

She ignored this imperial prince’s complacency and swayed forward in a plain robe.

Zhao Kai subconsciously looked to the north, licked his dry lips, his face gloomy, according to the second master’s statement, the reason why the northern Liang was handed over to Xu Snapdragon to defend the town in the first place, is really a helpless move, Liang Gan corridor is the throat of the northwest, once this mouth is open, the northern Mang millions of iron cavalry will be able to easily from the Huangshui Valley with the momentum of a lion wrestling with a rabbit, swooping down on the Central Plains! Bei Liang set up defense is not easy, most of the border line without barriers to rely on, like inverted horse pass north of the horn-shaped outward expansion of the wilderness, if not by the Bei Liang iron cavalry stationed, with any army brigade to change the defense, I’m afraid that has long been to the North Mang’s iron cavalry crushed into a broken bamboo basket, leaking water everywhere. And Liang Mang advantages and disadvantages is that the North Mang vast territory, has almost equal to the entire Central Plains of the great depth, which formed the thick wall of the situation on the game of Go, is the narrowness of the North Liang can not be comparable, so the North Mang lost up to several major defeats, the North Liang is a loss, a loss, a loss of all the disk.

Zhao Kai said to himself, “If Xu Snap is not the earth emperor, who can be? Gu Jiantang? Maybe he can’t even sustain it for five years.”

Zhao Kai bristled and rode closer to a carriage, lifting the curtain to take a look.

It was the only remaining Rune General Golden Armored Man.

Zhao Kai laughed, “The Grand Master can be much more generous than the Second Master.”

Zhao Kai put down the curtain and a lingering haze floated in his heart. From ridiculing and slandering the Buddha to exterminating the Buddha, was expected to become the world’s Buddha head of the second master has been unheard of, stood by and watched, the last few years have simply seen no sign of it. The big master in the palace head seems to have a crisis, their trip to the west is forced to move the tree to death, people move to live ah.

Throat smoke Zhao Kai swallowed hard, remembered that destined to become a life and death enemy of his peers, whispered: “Dare to kill me a kill?”

He then looked back at Jianmen Pass, which should be the easiest place to set up an ambush, “Xu Fengnian, it seems like you don’t have a chance.”

Zhao Kai craned his neck and sneered, “I’ll be damned, you don’t even dare to go to the gambling table!”

※※※※

Yauchou personally sent a message to Huangfu Ping, and this scorchingly powerful Goi Lieutenant immediately traveled to Bamboo Blade City to respectfully wait.

He did not dare to alarm the local government and garrison, light car simple, only with a team of Northern Liang Wang Fu specially allocated to his brave escort, Huangfu Ping is sitting alone in the carriage, think of all kinds of response. Huangfu Ping now the reputation of a sharp turn down, as the Jianghu on the ranking of the top of the top sects of the top of the martial arts, some years ago to give up their lives with the Northern Liang Wangfu kowtow, the Jianghu are to thumbs up to praise a really good man, to his defection to the Northern Liang Wangfu become a dog, the Northern Liang this piece of the jianghu are scolded him is not a thing, in order to their own one person to rise to the top and make a fortune, the whole family life is almost completely lost not to mention that a few generations of people have been saving up for a long time! That piece of gold signboard are smashed to pieces, but the honor and disgrace of the jianghu is one thing, the Beiliang military and political is very different from another file of things, Youzhou up and down are quite terrified of this head of the jackal, Huangfu Ping itself is not a low official price, serious fruit of the Yidu Lieutenant, Youzhou is the first class of the real power of the general, coupled with the Huangfu Ping and the old farmer to check the crops as much as the large Youzhou diligently walk a whole, Youzhou military town will do wall grass, may not be able to take the character and behavior, but also the quality of the people, the people and their families. Possibly character and conduct really can not take the stage, but not necessarily all will only flatter and flatter the straw bag waste, down to Huang Fu Ping’s many lieutenants there is no lack of military service is not small green strong faction, these goods in Huang Fu Ping screwed together around the rope, there has been a climate, the state of Youzhou a few official hat with the fruit of Yi lieutenant generals of the general size of the last name of the Huangfu realized that this, is not purely come to the state of Youzhou over the field to fish for oil and water, it is determined to compete for the military power to come with them. Competition for military power to come. The official field of a carrot, a pit a fortune, you over the boundary, want to embrace the past to dominate a few pits, which is more than a wife of hate to pull the heartache, this half a year since a few of the same gas even branches of the generals in a joint gang to Huangfu Ping trips, fruit of the Yi Lieutenant is also decisive time and time again to the color, the two sides played hot, if not cool Mang war opened, may have to be the real sword on the firefight.

Rumor has it that some generals have put out the word: “Even if you, Huangfu Ping, are the newest redhead beside the Great General, can you blindly grab land without rules? I was born and died with the General back then, and the General is not a person who hates the old and likes the new. If we really break the skin, we can all be kidnapped to the royal residence together, I don’t believe that the Great General will really favor you, a guy whose family background is almost as dirty as a latrine!”

Huangfu ping side of a brocade box, inside a rare fan carved fan bone, bamboo knife city is known for bamboo carving, the city officials and gentry to give each other a fan of the prevalence of the wind, the fan cost Huangfu ping three thousand taels of silver, from the goldsmith Huang Wenhou’s hand, bamboo peony square inches between the shallow carving of more than 10,000 words, the font tiny, but also all the law of the famous post charm. Huangfu scales from the martial arts high valve, when young is also qinqiqi calligraphy and painting are all fine elegant gentleman, vision naturally first-class, the reason why the choice of bamboo fan, in addition to the fan itself elegant and uncommon, Huang Wenhou is the industry to play fan fan appreciation fan known as the eyes of jing jing over the people, Huangfu scales but know that this does not show the mountain does not show the old guy is a real practitioner, Huangfu scales to buy the fan of the money of the money is not less than the Huang Wenhou, but if your surname is yellow! But if you, Huang Wenhou, won’t sell your life for me, then 3,000 taels of silver is the money to buy your life. Huangfu Ping intuitively think that sooner or later the jianghu of Northern Liang will be someone in the bag, he is only touching the stone across the river to explore the road, if it is the best to bet on the treasure, betting on the wrong, spend some of the silver will not hurt. Huangfu Ping even face and family do not want, but also care about those who do not come to death do not take away the yellow and white things outside the body?

Huangfu Ping gently smiled, he has been waiting outside the bamboo knife city for a morning, not once lifted the curtain.

I, Huangfu Ping, dare to spend my family’s money on the gambling table, do you, the generals who have been promoted and died with their wives, dare to do so?

The car and horse slowly turned around and drove to the city, Huangfu Ping lifted up a corner of the curtain, looked at the front of the simple carriage, and gently put it down.

The car stopped in front of an ordinary inn in Bamboo Blade City, Huangfu Ping stepped down from the carriage, leaving behind that group of elite retainers who will never be truly loyal to themselves in this lifetime, and quietly followed. Along the way, Captain Guo Yi did not look askance, followed into the backyard of a single-family secluded mansion, Xu Fengyen sat down, letting the green bird go to purchase some dyes, his current appearance is too unseemly, beckoning Huangfu Ping standing in the doorway to enter the house, this burly general did not squirm as he knelt on the ground with five body parts, and the brocade box was placed in his hand. Xu Fengyen didn’t pretend to be easygoing gesture to let him get up, Xu Beihuan helped to take the box, Xu Fengyen opened it, snapped open the folding fan, squinted and looked, laughed: “It’s a shallow carving in the escapades, at a glance it’s the skillful knife work of the Jinling school, Huang Wenhou’s? Then wouldn’t General Huangfu have smashed his salary for a year into it?”

Huangfu Ping softly said, “As long as your highness doesn’t mind tainting your hands and eyes, it’s good.”

Xu Fengyen shook his bamboo fan, thinking that shaking the fan in autumn is too celebrity style, so he threw it to Xu Beihao who was quietly drinking tea on the side, and then said, “Huang Wenhou is very reputable in Bamboo Knife City, don’t look at him as a scribe who migrated to Northern Liang from the Southern Tang side, but he actually mixes well in black and white over the years, and the Wangfu has a list with his name on it, if you didn’t report yourself and didn’t press him with an official hat, this old man is afraid that he will not be able to get his hands dirty. If you have not declared yourself, not to take the official hat pressure him, this old man may not be willing to sell you this fan, right? His fan, it is said that a hand can be exchanged for a seventh-grade official in Bamboo Knife City. According to the market in Youzhou, how can a few thousand taels buy it.”

Huangfu Ping calmly said, “I did report my name before Huang Wenhou was allowed to hand over the fan.”

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, “There is a telling?”

Huangfu Ping replied, “Many big land ruffians in Bamboo Blade City have recognized Huang Wenhou, who is proficient in Feng Shui Taoism, as their masters, and the last general was thinking whether this local snake is sensible or not, after all, Beilang is Your Highness’s Beilang, and since they are here to mingle and fatten themselves up, they have to be able to put in a few hours of effort when they are due to do so. You can’t forget your roots. However, Your Highness, please rest assured that the end will go to the yellow family, did not pull the banner, just with Huang Wenhou calmly did two transactions, a trade is the bamboo fan, one is that I give him those righteous sons of all aspects of care, he gave me the three religions and nine streams of gossip, of course, if necessary, stained with blood, but also unavoidable, the end of the yellow Wenhou with the yellow Wenhou were directly said openly, talk about the power to deceive people. ”

Xu Fengyen, who was still talking about that jianghu matter not long ago, and Xu Beihao looked at each other and smiled.

Xu Fengyen nodded his head and said, “Get up and talk.”

Huangfu Ping did not dare to be pretentious and stood up, lowering his eyelids and always looking at his toes.

Xu Fengnian laughed, “The secret letter you sent to Wutong courtyard on time, I will read it when I go back. If you are satisfied …… haha, you should be satisfied.”

Xu Fengyen smiled and asked Huangfu Ping to sit down, “Captain Guoyi is standing and talking, it’s too unseemly to pass out.”

Huangfu Ping shook his head and said in a deep voice, “The last general is standing and talking, I don’t dare to be unbridled.”

Xu Fengyen joked, “You learned this from our Northern Liang Road’s ambassador, right, three sees and three don’ts, one of which is not kneeling without seeing the Liang King.”

Huangfu Ping was speechless.

Using words to show loyalty with this ill-natured His Highness is really futile, it is better to stand and do things properly.

Xu Fengyen waved his hand and said, “You go about your business.”

Huangfu Ping stepped back with sweaty palms and gently covered the door of the room.

Xu Beihao almost had a pair of eyes glued to the engraving on the fan bone, and without raising his head, he asked, “This is Yuzhou Fruitful Yi Lieutenant Huangfu Ping?”

Xu Fengyen gave a hmmm and said, “Why don’t I give you the fan?”

Xu Beihuan said nonchalantly, “Sure, deduct it from my salary.”

Xu Fengyen said with blank eyes, “Easy for you to say! How many years does it have to be deducted?”

Xu Beihao carefully stared at the yellow and fragrant bamboo peony, and rightly said, “Until I die.”
