Chapter 164 – Sitting on the ground with Cao Changqing and discussing the river and mountain
Xu Beihao said in the stopping horse temple that the layman is afraid of the fruit, the bodhisattva is afraid of the cause. Xu Fengyian also said in the face of Yang Taiyou fell, like grass seeds thrive born in the mountain stone cracks, such as the round mirror broke open a crack, the more intense, and then want to break the mirror to reunite, it is much more difficult. The two surnamed Xu’s two words, bilingual are prophetic.
Xu Fengnian retracted his sight, not to look at the six-jeweled master who gave birth to three thousand green threads. This batch of eight hundred white horses from the war horse are carefully screened, in the run before it will get rid of the Northern Liang army logo, at this time to go without worries, not afraid to be caught obvious handle, even if there is a high person to follow the melon, Xu Fengyen can also say that it is a Western monk soldiers planted the evidence to frame the blame, to decide the direction of this kind of quarrel is not the moral rightness, is not the truth, but the game of chess both sides of the hand to talk about the character behind the soldiers of the war power. Xu Fengyen took the silver bottle from the hand of the green bird that was carried out from the carriage brocade box, seemingly smiling but not laughing.
Yuan Zuozong lifted his spear and stretched his horse half a horse behind Xu Fengnian, his face grave. According to common sense, the son who killed the old monk Yang Taiyou should be mentally depressed, or unconscious is also expected. But at this time Xu Fengyen galloped wildly, glowing, without a trace of fatigue, on the contrary, a powerful aura climbed to the peak. Especially that hilt to spring and autumn morale forged as a metaphysical tire of the spring and autumn sword, sword qi rushed skyward, unsheathed, is still vaguely all sorts of dragons, such as the nine evil sculls overturning the river. Yuan Zuozong sighed in his heart, this interception victory can be described as tragic ah. Moreover, there are many still hidden underwater undercurrents, Yang Tai Sui died in battle, Prince Zhao Kai cut his own throat and died, in this way, Northern Liang and the court’s love is considered to be completely emptied.
Yuan Zuozong smiled and looked towards Xu Fengnian’s back. Next time, if there is a war, he will be the one to lead his group of Northern Liang soldiers to fight in the four directions, right?
Miles of yellow sand, see for a long time is a boring scene, but in the eyes of the crowd is abnormal full of desolation, shocking, it is really a veritable heaven and earth, a circle of thirty miles, torn out of countless channels of varying sizes of gullies, the sky was cloudless and thunder, until this moment only gradually sound attenuated down, well before His Highness Thunder Pond Sword Formation to kill the means of old monks to do the pad, at this time, White Horse Boxer from the same! Not how shocked, just one by one tighten the gun spear cool sword. Possessing Xu Fengnian Yuan Zuozong Xu Longxiang six-armed shadowy creature and green bird, this battle strength can only be described as nearly invincible cavalry along the gully curved around, finally came to the edge of a bottomless chasm as wide as 20 feet, there stood a middle-aged, green-shirted Confucian, standing with his hands in his hands, with frosty temples, and the style of a man who captured the top of the world.
It was Cao Changqing.
This deceased Confucian sage who became a land god in the Western Basement Wall laughed aloud and said, “It’s all gone.”
Xu Fengyen lifted his arms, excluding the Yin Dan baby with the newborn arms, the rest were led by Yuan Zuozong around the chasm. Xu Fengyen threw the bottle that should have been worth a fortune but now could only be priced by the catty and swept across the chasm, while the Yin creature held the silver bottle in one hand and leapt across with both arms holding the horse. Anyway, it just has a lot of hands. It is said that it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and against such a one with six arms, it is estimated that no one’s heart is in the right place. Even Cao Changqing, who had read ten thousand books and traveled ten thousand miles, couldn’t help but look at it a few more times. Seeing Xu Fenian’s corner of the eye wandering, Da Guan Zi Cao Qing Yi smiled and said: ”Your second sister Xu Weixiong was seriously injured, and was sent by the Princess’s imperial sword to the Beiliang King’s Mansion. As for that Chen Zhi Bao who doesn’t know how to call him, he has already gone to Xishu alone, I believe that soon all up and down Liyang will know that there is a second king with a different surname, but it is lower than the earliest six vassals with the title of Prince, and it is only the County King of Shu Di.”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Cao Changqing sighed, walked forward, flexed his finger and flicked it on Xu Fengnian’s brow, “Your False Realm Fingers Xuan, self-realization of breaking off longevity, but breaking off someone else’s longevity is not breaking off your own longevity. Your reckless return to the light, do you really want to die before Xu Weixiong?”
Xu Fengyen’s original strong and erected aura, after a snap of his fingers, it suddenly dipped like a rainbow, his entire handsome face was twisted to a hideous extent, Cao Changqing smiled at the head of the Yin creature and said, “I’ll trouble you to hold down his heart chakra, don’t stop until we get to Beiliang King’s Mansion, I’ll pass on a piece of oral recitation to you later, you’ll help him to guide his qi to go down to the Kunlun slowly, don’t let go of his hand, remember.”
The dual phase Yin creature gently stretched out an arm to press Xu Fenian’s heart chakra after hearing this.
Xu Fengyen said grimly, “My sister?”
Cao Changqing calmly said, “Stabbed through her chest by Chen Zhi Bao and turned green to purple by the plum wine, her life is hanging by a thread. Wanting to survive, it depends on how the desire for survival is in her nature.”
Xu Fengnian spat out a mouthful of purple-black bruised blood and fell backward, fortunately, there was a Yin creature ringing his arms to support him.
Cao Changqing was not shocked but pleased and smiled, “It’s good to spit it out. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t die, nine times out of ten, Xu Weixiong won’t die. It is said that all things in the world, there is injustice, like me this kind of reader injustice is to ascend the poem, in the end, the way of life, or to speak of a person must not be hostile too much. You ah, hard to hold back too many years. You know why Li Chungang senior always said that your talent is not as good as the princess? The princess is naturally more transparent than you, of course, this also has to do with the fact that she is a woman.”
Xu Fengyen’s vision blurred before his eyes, vaguely seeing Cao Qingyi’s green shirt broken, and even more blood wrapped around his body, he endured the pain that pierced into his bone marrow, gritting his teeth, he asked, “Chen Zhi Bao being the King of Shu is a backhanded move that Zhao family’s son of heaven improvised? As long as I dare to intercept Zhao Kai, he will be willing to let Chen Zhi Bao go to Western Shu to be the king? Or did he have a promise agreement with Chen Zhi Bao long ago?”
Cao Changqing again knocking finger to continue the long life, qi Xu Xu down Kunlun, Xu Fengyen feet soles suddenly blood like a spring, soaked to seep into the yellow sand, slowly said: “Zhao Kai is a chess piece, but is not the first is to seduce you into the jar of the discarded son, that the emperor did not have this kind of desperate boldness, unless it is the Zhao Kai’s grandfather is more or less, he ah, a little inferior, the Lord of the success of the most of them, otherwise would not have been sitting in the dragon chair, the emperor is the only person who has the right to kill, and he is the only person who can do it, and he is the only person who has the right to kill. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit on the dragon chair. Zhao Kai is both trying to slay the dragon later a live child, but it is not impossible to give up, depending on how you North Liang to deal with it, without this interception, give Zhao Kai ten years, in the West Shu West region of the two places to gain a firm foothold, cut off the retreat of the North Liang, with the money, Zhao Kai may be able to really ascend to the throne to sit in the dragon chair, but in case, Zhao Kai was, especially if you blocked the death of the West region, the capital side must have a backhanded move, because Chen Zhi Bao must also walk out, as long as you get up, he has no reason to stay in Northern Liang. Chen Zhi Bao and your father is the same person, the bottom of the heart is still very much miss each other’s love, when the old emperor so forced Xu Snapdragon, the great general as not against, is this reason. As long as one side did not die of old age, it will never cross that line, conspire against. This kind of thing, has nothing to do with right or wrong, people live a breath, without this mouth to carry out a lifetime, do not want to have great achievements. I, Cao Changqing, am naturally no exception. Xu Fenian, if you don’t feel that there is no master’s temperament, let’s sit and talk?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded, only the smile was worse than crying is all.
The Yin Object helped him slowly sit on his knees, and Cao Changqing also sat down frankly.
Cao Changqing laughed and asked, “Not only is this interception of yours, the general situation of Liyang and Beiliang is equally interlocked. This game of chess, you are in the middle of the game, you can see seventy-eight out of ten, it’s already not easy. If I had told you earlier that the Huang Long Shi who killed three million people with three inches of tongue, and the figure known as the number one strategist during the Spring and Autumn period were in the middle of the involvement, would you still run headlong into the Iron Gate Pass like this?”
Xu Fengnian nodded without hesitation.
Cao Changqing didn’t find it strange either, looking towards this chasm around him that had been cut and drawn by Plum Wine, he softly lamented, “Truth be told, Chen Zhi Bao almost made me leave most of my cultivation here. If he and I were to fight to the death without any worries, I could live, he would die, but my entire cultivation would be wasted, and then I would really be a useless scholar with no power in my hands.”
Xu Fengnian’s speech was slurred due to his severe injuries, “I won’t be surprised even if he enters the Land Gods.”
Cao Changqing let out an oh of surprise and asked with a somewhat curious smile, “You think so highly of Chen Zhi Bao?”
Xu Fengyen rested his hands on his knees and said flatly, “Chen Zhi Bao regards me as a grass and straw, I regard Chen Zhi Bao as always invincible in both literature and martial arts.”
Cao Changqing shook his head and said, “Chen Zhi Bao values you more than anyone else. Before he left, he said that sooner or later in the future, he would fight you squarely one day. Chen Zhi Bao also said that he also held this in his stomach for twenty years.”
Xu Fengnian said bitterly, “Am I supposed to be happy?”
Cao Changqing was happy to see this kid eat his words and laughed comfortably, converging his smile, “The matter of the two dynasties’ destruction of the Buddha made the Dragon Tree Monk pass away, once this Buddhist saint was gone, Chen Zhi Bao took advantage of the situation, he otherwise didn’t enter sainthood so quickly.”
Xu Fengnian laughed heartily, “Xu Snap is not too fond of talking about axiomatic reasoning, but there is a saying that I remember very clearly, one must eat one’s own suffering and enjoy one’s own blessings, but one must also look at other people’s good. So I have always thought that there are so many good and cheap things under the sky, we can’t just hold them all in our own hands, which is also unrealistic. Just like there are so many beauties, there are only a few you can marry home, isn’t that right, Uncle Cao?”
Cao Changqing’s eyes were pleased, but a finger flicked on his hand, “Don’t call me uncle Cao, our friendship is not that good.”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “Indeed, otherwise you wouldn’t have let Chen Zhi Bao go to Western Sichuan. After all, you and I that little bit of thin love to count, you can block Chen Zhi Bao to go to Iron Gate Pass even if twelve points of generosity. Chen Zhi Bao went to the West Sichuan, is the capital to kill the enemy a thousand self-folding eight hundred of the insidious hook, to the Northern Liang buried the root of the trouble, away from the sun is no better. Since you want to restore Western Chu where the Qi is still alive, it’s always a heavenly good thing.”
Cao Changqing smiled sparingly and did not deny it, “I don’t want him to take charge of Northern Liang, but I want to let Chen Zhi Bao go to Western Sichuan to claim the throne, because if Western Chu wants to restore the country, it can only be a matter of taking chestnuts out of the fire and profiting from the chaos. The more chaotic the chess game, the better, and a Bei Liang where you are, is far from enough.”
Xu Fengnian tsked, “Afraid of you readers.”
Cao Changqing hesitated for a while, but still said, “Xu Fengnian, there is a sentence I still need to remind you, in his position and seek his own politics, you being the king of Beiliang and being the son of Beiliang is a very different stance, before this, you went off the edge of the sword and won narrowly with a strange army time and time again, but in the future, it is still necessary to be positive and strange and use them together to be able to do so. As if this pull a hair move the whole body of the interception, in the end many things, not only is the Zhao family son of God, away from the Yang dynasty Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang those old foxes and monsters also know, just Xu Snapdragon in Li Yishan under the authorization of the years to go more is the way of the sun, can not be blamed, only to have the foundation of Beiliang today, you do not let down the old generation of Beiliang people’s expectations. Zhao Kai lost this time is not the luck, but lost in his want to fight with a small, monstrous rich and powerful, but he has forgotten one thing, he is a prince, is to compete for the role of the emperor, but in the middle of peace and prosperity, often step by step close to the dragon chair of the dragon son of the dragon grandson, are all talking about a submerged dragon in the abyss of bao hui. Over there in the capital, the eldest prince has gained great apparent power, the fourth prince has gained great hidden power, you must be careful of both.”
Xu Fengyen slightly bowed in respect, “Sincerely appreciate.”
Cao Changqing gently waved his sleeve and folded it on his knee, “To be honest, before I didn’t like you as a person, sentimental and thin, now that I’ve seen some things with my own eyes, instead, I have a few optimistic views. Last time to go to the North Mang South Dynasty’s Gusei dragon waist, passing through the North Liang, with the great general had some secret talks about the agreement, this time according to the agreement to act to block down Chen Zhi Bao, is considered to pay off a sum of Western Chu owed to your Xu family’s old debt, after that is the two don’t owe each other the most appropriate, the kill you when I would as well not hesitate to go out.”
Xu Fengnian laughed: “Not afraid of your princess scolding you?”
Cao Changqing froze for a moment, flexed his finger and flicked it on Xu Fengnian’s brow, causing the latter to draw cold air.
The Yin creature’s joyful phase face actually smiled a heartfelt smile.
Xu Fengyen muttered to himself, “It’s almost winter, she should get frostbite again.”
Cao Changqing was dumbfounded, then laughed, “Right, it’s time to tie straw men to scold you again.”
Xu Fengyen was helped up by the Yin creature, “I’m rushing back to see my sister, your Princess Highness is definitely unwilling to see me, Uncle Cao, are we going our separate ways, or are we going to walk together for a while?”
Cao Changqing got up and brushed off the dust, “Each go their own way, you kid less close to me.”
Xu Fengyen gave the yin to float towards the horse, clasping his fists and bidding farewell to this Confucian Sage Cao Qingyi.
One ride away.
Cao Changqing stood in place.
This time Xu Snapdragon appeared at the border clad in his general’s armor instead of wearing the Liang King’s python robe.
Thus, Cao Changqing was currently watching the young Northern Liang King leave.
