Chapter 008 – Robbing People

Rouge county county close to the Qing case county, Xu Fengyen this under the county main thin at first did not pay a visit to the governor Hong Shandong, this time rushed to the county, still another plan, now he is not even a horseman around, Xu Yan Bing went to the gourd mouth of the Youzhou, the big material, as the northern Liang border passes as one of the eight lieutenants, the main is still to deter the border army with the Youzhou will be the kind of door family has a relationship with the big names, Xu Yan Bing among the new martial arts evaluation of the fifteen people. This alone can make people afraid, not to mention was Xu Snapdragon’s beloved retinue, in the Spring and Autumn period, as the master, to the beloved especially those who come from the reckless direct lineage give surname, very common, but in Xu Snapdragon’s side of the handful of people, when Liu Yan Bing is one of them. It is said that once a son, once a minister, Xu Yan Bing in the northern Liang two dynasties are the king of northern Liang rely on as a beloved, in the eyes of outsiders, even if it is the commander of the infantry Yan Wen Luan should sell this Xu lieutenant a few points of face. Now the world’s sixth new Liang King, was said to be a person as two thousand riders, who else needs to escort? Xu Fengyen led the horse into the city with Xu Qi’s household ultimatum, and recorded official body, since it is unimpeded, Xu Fengyen entered the county, saw many young men and women in brocade clothing, but also honestly dismounted and walked through the gates of the city, even if they passed the city cave, re-turned on the horse, but also do not dare to gallop, and then there is no previous arrogance and wantonness, and even more so, none of them dared to privately wear the Beiliang sword, I think it must be the whole of the Youzhou! I think it must be because of the smell of blood in the whole Youzhou, which has not been dispersed so far. Beiliang warriors from ancient times and natural fresh clothes and angry horses, to the hard half removed. Xu Fengyen after entering the city, still leading the horse slowly, towards a rare mansion with mountains and water, in Beiliang look at the gate high and low, only need to look at the amount of water, the number of mouths of wells, winter snow cellar, can be near the lake is even better, as for Qingliang Mountain sits on a listening to the tide of the lake, since the head of the family surnamed Xu, there is no need to say anything more.

Rouge County city, Hu Bai is a spy, is still very young, but as early as the teenage years by the previous generation of spies have high hopes, Northern Liang by the spy turned into an official is not common, but as a matter of fact, certainly not difficult, Hu Bai is very handsome, do not read much, but born with a sense of bookishness. Rouge County’s turtle spy was his master’s men, Hu Bai is more silent care, so he sent him a pile of efforts do not have to much, but very pleasing and conducive to the future of the good errand, at first Hu Bai heard that it is a woman as a stalking eyes, and not happy, just follow orders, is a spy vocation, but when Hu Bai became a new shopkeeper on the street satin store young and gold, when he saw the woman one side, there was no resentment, and the woman was a good man. After a woman, there is no complaint he even a little resentment, Huber has seen many beautiful women, or as beautiful as peony, or as fresh as white lotus, he even tasted the taste of the big green house flower girl, the state of mind is always calm, but never seen such a moving woman, and her appearance outside the things, more so that Huber difficult to let go of, Huber follow the original points, one step do not dare to go beyond the minefield, do not take the initiative to see her, she appeared on the street, she is the only person who can see the woman. See her, she showed up on the street very few times, from the Silk House appeared to disappear, is a door away, Hu Bai will not even look up, can only use the corner of the eye to measure the moment, and occasionally late at night lying on the roof to drink wine, look at the not far away from the dark courtyard, know that she lives there, on the contentment. Hu Bai also did not explore her bottom, only thought to be able to guard like this, not far, not close, a day is a day, can have a lifetime that is the best. He only knew that the woman surnamed Pei, living in deep simplicity, from nothing with the rouge county dignitaries have had a social event, her temperament, always cold and clear, is that this will inevitably give people twilight suspicion of the feeling, but also the same let a person stunning, more than the nearby rouge county powerful personage’s mansion, is not without a keen sense of smell of the guy smelled the wind, Hu Bai in a dark and windy night, personally knocked out even with a dozen masters with the servants, the bloated As a pig’s military priest to him by the neck, lifted a foot off the ground, the brain hit the alley wall, fainted on the spot, and that night to hear about the matter of the county magistrate Hong Shandong fire get up in a hurry, annoyed with the storm, even is the mobilization of a large number of people to quickly mobilize the city 30 armor armor, dragging away a dozen guys, the next day, the military priest adults not to mention the loss of the official, the entire family was expelled from the county, after that. After that, no one dared to “martial arts fight”, want to “cultural fight” to win the beauty of the sweet smile of the guy is still there, but also did not see the door opened, and then I do not know what the county magistrate said, the luxury family in the high family like to attach to the elegance of the prodigal son also disappeared overnight, the alleyway, back to the pure and clean. That alleyway, back to clean, still the same without a trace of fireworks.

Today, Hu Bai in the silk store in the masterful coping with those rich women wearing gold and silver, earning under the sky the best earned silver, between the sale, do not know who wiped who’s oil, he is with two like a wolf like tiger age of the women flirting, suddenly glimpsed outside the door of the horse led by someone walking through the blink of an eye, the person from head to toe are measured a pass, even the horse and saddle material did not miss, did not notice any Hu Bo also intends to take back the line of sight, unexpectedly that person intentionally or unintentionally looked sideways at the store, coincidentally with the Hu Bo glance, the two almost at the same time, a slight smile, Hu Bo waiting for that person steering the horse walked, disappeared in the field of vision, frowned, but thought of this street hidden hidden stakes are quite a lot, not a lack of more than he has the hands of the masters of martial arts, do not go to worry about the day, hooked the corners of his mouth, thought that the young man was The young man is extremely good-looking, in the Rouge County which produces beautiful women but scruffy men, it is indeed not rare. Several women in the store saw the smile on Hu Bo’s face, more and more willing to throw money, but when they pinch the satin material, in Hu Bo’s arm on the back of the hand brushed the palm of the hand, the force is also quietly heavier a few points.

Pei Nanwei live in this courtyard, left two hands and feet fastidious wonderful age maid, personal service, but not intimate, she is only in a good mood, only with them a few jokes, are some of the identity of women who have been there to say out of the teasing words, ask them if they have a sweetheart, whether she needs to matchmaking a few sentences, they are always flushed cheeks, hem and haw don’t know how to answer, Pei Nanwei laughed and turned around and forgot, not really want to do that! Forgotten, not really want to do that the moon old man, over time, the two maids also roughly understand the nature of the yard hostess, at first they thought it was rouge county which official master’s golden house, and then didn’t see any man can walk into the yard, there is no such speculation, even they can’t move their eyes of the big beauty of the woman, really if anyone who fell in love with the foster here, where to throw is not to come to the favor of a few months! Love and affection? Today, the maid Zhu Hai heard a tireless knocking, at first did not want to pay attention to, only as a guy who is not open-minded, will soon be dragged away like a dead dog, but the whole half tea, knocking did not stop, Zhu Hai wondered, the county town head is really not afraid of death of the heroes and heroes? She hesitated for a while, thinking that anyway, the female master in the backyard over there can not hear the movement, go to see what kind of God so do not know how to die, open the door to see, she immediately froze, Yo, is a handsome brother, good to see like the talented novels on the reader out of the books, and he opened the door, but also on the threshold of the maid across the threshold of the bamboo sea smiled, smiled at the bamboo sea heart like a deer, only think than the neighboring street satin house Hu He only felt that he was more gentle and handsome than Hu, the shopkeeper of the neighboring street.

Xu Fenian softly said, “My name is Xu Qi, I’m the main secretary of Bishan county, you Miss Pei knows, please bother the girl to go and inform.”

The maid was a little difficult, Bishan county she knows, a county chief minister so official she also knows the size, but to say that this person said that he knows his own miss, she will die not believe it. Xu Gongzi you look good-looking again, is not the reason to let you waltz into the courtyard ah. Where she dared to really go to bother Miss Pei for this, if it is everyone since the registration number has to report a report, this courtyard has long been rouge county’s group of denizens stepped through the threshold of the alley floor of the lapis lazuli bricks have to be replaced. Bamboo sea face skeptical and questioning, just not willing to move their feet, so wide-eyed, are not willing to turn around. Xu Fengyen also took this conscientious little maid a little helpless, thought for a moment and said, “County governor Hong Shandong let me come, if you tell Miss Pei, if she still says she doesn’t see guests, girl you take a broom and hit me, okay?”

In Rouge County, Hong Shandong is already the biggest official, to be able to work in this courtyard, the maid Zhuhai also knows the lightness of the situation, thinking for a moment, said in a serious tone, “The slave girl will go and talk to Miss Pei, and will not close the courtyard door, but you are not allowed to walk into the courtyard without authorization ah.”

Xu Fengnian nodded.

The maid turned around to leave with confidence, not forgetting to turn her head to see if the young male is really honest, seeing that he didn’t move at all, only then did she speed up her steps and boldly went to the backyard to tell Miss. Xu Fengyen sat on the threshold, back to the mansion, looking at the street that is not a good horse is not bad horse mount, as for the hidden several pairs of patience very good cold line of sight, it should be to get the order of the head of the county spies, not to intervene to stop, Xu Fengyen can easily and clearly sense their heartbeat, for their scrupulously abide by their duties, Xu Fengyen has some feelings, the outsiders mentioned the Northern Liang, the first impression must be invincible in the world! The first impression of outsiders is definitely the invincible iron cavalry, as well as the white horse scouts, but Chu Lushan single-handedly built out of the Northern Liang spies, not familiar with, in fact, so many years, the two armies on the sands of the battlefield is not much, but the Northern Liang and the Northern Mang Spider Web as well as the Liyang Zhao Hook of the exchange of life, but there has been no interruption. Xu Fengyen back to God, turned his head to look, laughing and joking, that maid Nizi even really raised a broom, angrily ran to, dare to really want to sweep him out of the door before giving up, do not have to guess all know Pei Nanwei this bitch to their own trips.

Xu Fengyen stood up, looked at the maid with teeth and claws with a broom to make the long lost dog fighting method in the jianghu, rushed away from the courtyard door, retreated to the bottom of the steps, towards the courtyard door gas laughed and said: “Surname Pei’s, counting on you to be ruthless.”

The maid stood furiously at the door, waved the broom, turned his head violently, saw his own young lady standing in the courtyard on the steps, with a smile like a flower that has never been witnessed, where there is still the cold ice when listening to his own report of the situation earlier, Zhuhai realized that he mostly made a big mistake, turned his head, crying, pitifully looking at the foot of the steps that the young man called Xu Qi, almost being broomstick pouncing young man smiled and walked up the The young man who was almost pounced on by the broomstick smiled and walked up the steps, not annoyed, took the broomstick from her hand, crossed the threshold and glared at the gloating Pei Nanwei, “It’s fun?”

The moving woman who had previously lost her status as Princess Jing’an and now didn’t even have a place for her in the Rouge Judgment of Beauties, resumed her cold face.

The maid, Zhuhai, stood timidly behind Xu Fenian, at a loss for words. Another maid stood behind Pei Nanwei, looking at the young man whose clothes were not glamorous, like Bamboo Hai, she was puzzled, their young lady in Rouge County had casually refused a visit from the county guardian, and when Lord Hong heard about it, not to mention he was furious, he didn’t even let out a single fart, and when he waited for an answer at the entrance of the courtyard, he directly turned around and walked away. Since this is the case, I am afraid that only a feudal official like the assassin of Youzhou is qualified, but where did such a young and highly placed big shot come from? The first eldest son of the Lord Secretary of the Imperial Strategy Envoy, the number one official in Beiliang Road, Li Hanlin Li, the prodigal son, who has built up his career on the border, but I heard that he is not only a standard bearer of the crossbow rider? Pei Nanwei face with ridicule, soft cold laugh: ”Bamboo sea, Mei Zui, still do not pay respect to our this micro-visit rouge county of the king of northern Liang. You have to know that after this village, there won’t be this store anymore, the youngest Lord Upper Pillar State of Liyang Dynasty is not something that anyone can meet if they want to.”

The two maids didn’t care to recognize the truth, they were so scared that they fell straight to their knees, especially that maid Zhuhai who had only been violent with a broom, her tears burst into tears at once.

Xu Fenian softly said, “All get up, don’t listen to your lady’s nonsense.”

The maids dared not get up, they preferred to believe in what they had rather than what they didn’t, who dared to joke with their own lives. If that murderous newcomer slaughtered the Northern Liang King, killing their two maids would be as simple as breathing out a sigh of relief. Besides, the entire Northern Liang is tsk-tsking the new Liang King’s world’s sixth master, that is not happy to let the iron horsemen under his command to kill people, not happy to do it themselves? Xu Fengyen put away his broom and said to Pei Nanwei: “I’m now the chief of Bishan County, I’m short of a cook, do you have any ideas?”

Pei Nanwei categorically said, “No!”

Xu Fengyen laughed it off, walked over and picked up this bitch, and walked towards the courtyard door, Pei Nanwei only chaos, shouted: “Quickly come to the people ah, someone robbed the people’s daughter ah!”

No one pay attention to her fanning the flames, two maids secretly look up, looking at the cold nature of their own miss with the fire into the general shouting, they are young, not familiar with love affairs, but after all, the same woman, but also smacked some flavor, did not dare to get up, watched the lady by the young man that may probably may really be the king of Northern Liang captured.

To the door, Xu Fengyen dropped her on the back of the horse, leading the horse out of the alley.

Spy Hu Bai walked across the alleyway, then gently looked at the woman who sat on the horse without saying a word, he lowered his head and continued to walk forward.

The word wish starts in the heart and then dies in the heart in an instant.

Xu Fengyen turned his head to look at the back that could hardly hide his despondency and did not say anything.

County Chancellor Zuo Jing heard the county court up and down are talking about this matter, finally could not hold back, the first time to take the initiative to bring wine to come to the humble abode, really amazing, just that woman all thorny hairpin cloth dress, really is to Xu Qi this family will be the fall of the species of the son of the pit, in his place, left the adults, it is not as a female bodhisattva to serve? Just that look like a first-time woman, to whom all ignore, to the Bishan County, just the first two days after pulling the Xu main thin bought a lot of tea, rice, oil and salt bottles and jars, at ease with the family, meet the drunkenness is not wine visitors, she is also only to the identity of the hostess of a small courtyard slightly show up, barely not lose etiquette, and then there is no more warmth, can only see her moving those worthless potted plants, and feed the corner of a cage of chickens and ducks. A cage of chickens and ducks. Zuo Jing how slippery, played a careful eye, intends to let the chief Xu Qi in the county government office to deal with some inconsequential old cases, the woman will also carry a food box slowly come, and so Xu Qi ate a steaming meal, and then carry back to the food box, just so simple, can be in the county government office in the eye hooked to the ground, want to be stepped on by her a few feet only good. Even if it has always been high above the top of the county magistrate Feng Jade, also began in the midday, punctual punctual with Xu Qi, the subordinate official gossip on a few sentences, but wait for the woman to show up, on the initiative to leave, as for the County Lieutenant Bai Shang Xique, these days still did not get close to the Xu Qi, just clothes every day to change. I do not know who started a head, called the woman a Mrs. Xu, was her nod and a smile, Mrs. Xu this call gradually in the county Yamen, apparently thanks to Mrs. Xu’s blessing, the Lord finally have some official look, three days two to three people invited him to drink, Xu Qi also came to refuse, each time full of alcohol to go home.

This day, is the summer solstice, in the twilight, Xu Fengyen looks drunk but clear-eyed back to the courtyard, sitting at the table, even if you have already eaten, is still with her at the same table eating a simple meal of more vegetarian than meat, these days, are all this scene, not much to say to each other during the day, the night is even less envied by outsiders to share the same bed, Xu Fengyen is considered to be hitting the ground running, which is going to be spread out, surely a big relief for those who have lost their souls The great lords are relieved.

Xu Fengyen sat in the courtyard to cool off, Pei Nanwei had cleaned up the dishes and laid down on the refreshingly cool bamboo bench beside Xu Fengyen, gently shaking a reed fan.

Pei Nanwei said, “Summer solstice?”

Xu Fengnian gave a hmmm.

Pei Nanwei stopped the fan and asked, “Over there in Guangling, many people are going to die?”

Xu Fenian was silent.

Pei Nanwei tilted his head up, looked at the twilight, and laughed softly, “The good people in the history books, one by one, are all flawless and perfect, and the bad people, it seems like it’s impossible to have done a single good deed. If you die one day, is it true that no one will write a good word about you either?”

Xu Fengnian squatted on the small bench, still not speaking. He just took the fan in her hand, he was not as stingy as her, after shaking the fan, both of them could get cool.

Pei Nanwei turned sideways, gazed at him and said, “Aren’t you the sixth in the world, if you can change one or two acres of reeds for me, I’ll let you sleep in the bed at night.”

Xu Fengnian said flatly, “I don’t have this ability even if I were a land god. Besides, what’s the difference between letting me sleep on the bed and you hitting the floor?”

Pei Nanwei hilariously laughed, then winks, “You, ah, the sixth most powerful in the world for nothing.”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “Who says otherwise.”
