Chapter 079 – Northern Liang Adds Guns

Wine shop business is getting better and better, a few tables are filled with drinkers, which makes the boss’s wife smile, which in the past days is not a common scene, while yelling at the side of the wine on the meat, the heart is playing a small calculation, today earned a few pennies of silver and a few coins, thinking of that the youngest in the private school of the family baby, always yell to buy ink and brush, you can go to the home where to afford this expenditure, otherwise which good women will be happy to come out! Show your face, not all would rather face the dirt back to the sky, now finally let that child as you wish. The table is full of people, the back is still constantly on this side to ask for wine to drink, and do not want to immediately leave the intention, the boss lady had to even a few stools have been moved out, good thing that those men do not feel shabby, just focus on big bowls of wine and big chunks of meat, if it is the past, in the restaurant settled in the man more than will be measuring the boss lady to tease a few words, the Northern Liang women are not inferior to the men’s bravado, the boss lady as long as those men’s hands and feet, but not fire, handing out drinks, and the boss lady is a good person. As long as the men’s hands and feet are not too hot, when handing over drinks to pinch and pinch, she will not turn her face away, but today those drinkers are coincidentally glancing to the east side of the stage road, as if they are waiting for someone. It did not take long, this side of the restaurant gathered no less than twenty people, so, that alone a table of Jun brother appears particularly eye-catching, the beginning is not someone thinking of drinking at the table, but somehow, see the young man’s appearance of the temperament, they are subconsciously avoided, and now the boss’s wife to see more and more drinkers come, but also more rich people wearing satin, she was a little worried about the young man. The boss’s wife is not concerned about the young man so that he earns a few jugs of wine and a few kilograms of meat, but she is afraid that he will get into trouble and suffer, so good-looking Jun brother, if you give someone a bruise, she can not see past. The boss’s wife was about to put on a smile and talk to him.

The boss lady is about to squeeze out a smile with the young man to open that mouth, did not want to be afraid of what comes what, a group of waist sat on the knife of the strong man stared at the table that empty three positions, the woman can be really afraid that the young man does not know the danger of the jianghu, afraid that he felt the face of the folding to be exported to hurt people, at that time, swords are blind, even if a little bit of the family rely on how, in the north of the Liang for so many years, which year did not hear a few readers to hit the half dead? What’s wrong with having a little bit of family background, even if you have a little bit of family background? In Beiliang is not like other places in Liyang, wearing a Confucian shirt is not good at all, the young man who wears a Liang knife to deter the jianghu people, but the boss lady also heard, it seems that our young king of Beiliang issued a “holy decree”, now even the children of the generals do not dare to wear a Liang knife privately, and it’s even difficult to see someone riding a horse in the downtown area, the boss lady doesn’t know what to worry about the country and the people, she only thinks that Beiliang is a very important country. The boss’s wife does not know what to worry about the country and the people, but only think that the world in Northern Liang is really better. The boss’s wife was relieved, because the young gentleman looked not very old, jianghu experience is not shallow, take the initiative to chat with those fierce and fierce man a few words, then smiled and she asked for ten pounds of green ants wine, the five do not look like in the serious line of work to make a living in the middle-aged man to see the young man sense of humor, but also more than a few points of a smiling face, go out in the country, as long as it is not those who will be the seed of the children and grandchildren, but also not anyone who dares to be in the territory of the North Liang Drawing the sword to start the provocation, not to mention that the children will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, how much the father’s official hat to lead how many soldiers, each determines whether they are in a county within the rampage or can be in a state to show off their power, for the Beiliang jianghu people, almost everyone ate those who will be the children of the bitterness of the children, and even from time to time someone to stare at for no reason, and find a lame reason to say that slaughtered on the slaughter, and the official report afterwards, is nothing more than a A small man holding a skill to commit murder, we are the descendants of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry’s generals and schools, how can we dishonor our family style, when the road to see the injustice and pull out the sword to help. The government forces the people to rebel, the people have to rebel, but rebel, is a word of death. When in the human butchery under the rule of the northern Liang three states, in addition to those immortal real cultivation place of Wudang Mountain is still famous in the field, enough to be in the martial arts in the large faction, which outside of no one can claim to be the jianghu big clan, the reason why so, are not to the as many as the seed will be the scourge of the family? Really have hard style deep martial arts jianghu masters, are hired to be a watchdog, in turn for the tiger to do evil to suppress the identity of the jianghu without the backing of the scattered people, you state has a gun fairy with the king of embroidery the same hometown of the Sun family, the children are tied a good hand gun, but is because of the reluctance to rely on the government and will be kind of portal, until the head of the family died, soon to rely on a general’s enemies with the troops to kill, reportedly all up and down the family! It is said that the whole family, more than forty people, escaped two or three people.

Seeing more drinkers come and go, the boss’s wife in fact, occasionally think, like her, selling wine to make money is not easy, those who are mixed rivers and lakes, usually look at the bold and dry, in fact, it is estimated to be even more difficult.

To the east in the direction of Youzhou raised his eyes, only to see the end of the post road raised a dust, the boss lady only lightly glanced, often on the post road, the Northern Liang cavalry passing, she has long been pondered out of the door, looks like, is more than a hundred riders of the situation, which is in our rich iron horsemen and big horses in the Northern Liang is really not a matter of fact. The boss lady saw inside and outside the restaurant whether sitting on chairs or stools, are like a burning buttocks, all stood up, eyes hot, than to see a woman’s springtime is more fascinated, which makes the woman a little puzzled, can not be what big shot is coming? She is just a countryside village woman who can only afford to sell green ants wine, jianghu or temple, a lot of things even if you listen to the ears are never in mind, a daily counting so a small pile of coins on the contentment of the woman, do not want to go to worry about the king of the Northern Liang military affairs not? This period of time to listen to more drinkers chatter what Wu family sword mound and so on, she also just as the wind in her ears, she stared hard at all the drinkers who left the position, for fear that they take the opportunity to wipe the oil on the bottom of the foot, the wine money to escape. The boss’s wife party busy half a day, finally can rest a breath, and have the heart to measure that asked for a number of green ant wine young man, she pursed her lips and smiled, who said that only men are allowed to look at that beauty, the woman also like to look at a few more handsome men, at this time that person also followed the stand up, standing in the shade of the big acacia tree next to the wine table by the stagecoach road, hands caged cuffs, she looked at the side of his face, envied that he was born with a pair of hooked eyes, and when he looked at her, he didn’t have the same look, but also had the same look as other people, and he had a pair of hooked eyes, and he had no more than a pair of hooked eyes. And look at her when there is no unusual hanzi kind of hate to eat people’s eyes, clean, just like the village of the age of the well, fishing up the well water perennial exceptionally clear, scooped up a scoop to quench the thirst is also good to use to make wine is even better. The woman couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the thought, thinking that I don’t know which family’s little sister-in-law has this blessing, every day can give such a handsome little brother to stare at, in her place, she would have to eat less food, save up money to buy that never used rouge and powder on the face.

The boss’s wife is not wrong, is indeed a hundred riders from here to the Liangzhou territory, but even she this kind of never know what the jianghu is a woman, all see that a hundred riders of unusual. Riders are people with swords, neither like the Northern Liang cavalry that like armor negative crossbow, also not like the big man’s escorts like bright clothes, everyone’s face is as hard as a stone, many swordsmen look to have seventy years of age, but when riding through that waist pole with the vertical military guns and spears, that the spirit of the spirit of the spirit of the village old man can not have. Especially when the one hundred riders almost at the same time looked at the restaurant, not only she the boss lady scared backward, almost everyone retreated, but for some reason, more than one hundred swordsmen at the head of the horse without looking at the horse galloped past, did not stop the horse, the boss lady as a sigh of relief, do not stop only good, otherwise she really do not dare to charge them money for the wine.

The young feudal lord who gave the Wu family a hundred horses deliberately ignored put down his arm and finally did not make a sound, inevitably a little embarrassed. He Xu Fengyen of course knows more than the people present, when the first ride Wu Liuding had the intention to turn a blind eye, after that the sword slaves could only follow this sword crown to continue traveling. Xu Fengyen did not have any annoyance, sat down and continued to ask the boss lady for half a catty of green ant wine, anyway, his own heart to the Wu family hundred riders do not appreciate it does not matter, you can not have to take the hot face of the cold ass to go it? If it was not for the sake of the Wu family’s great-grandmother, who he had only met once, he would not have waited on the border of Liangzhou. Since Wu Liuding this kid wants to put on airs, let him put on airs, Xu Fengyen is not going to give him any small shoes.

Xu Fengyen face calmly sipping wine, the heart weighs the Wu family’s hundred horsemen’s combat power, Wu Liuding and the second rider Cuihua after the six or seven, are called into the product of the top experts, if in the battle stalemate between victory and defeat is only between a line of the critical moment, to give the hundred horsemen hundred swords a direct insertion into the enemy generals where a flat line, who can stop it? Tuoba Bodhisattva does not need to consider, this North Mang martial arts god as long as the body in the battlefield, simply do not need who protect him, Hong Jingyan should also be able to cope with it, Murong Baoding is estimated to be difficult. However, the two armies against each other, this kind of army in the bush to take the head of the general’s legend, in the Spring and Autumn is very rare, especially with the emergence of several easy to assemble and amazing crossbow, it is difficult for someone to be able to do as in the novels to kill through the battle array and even a few into a few out of the feat, we must know that a number of sharp soldiers to step on the combined efforts of a fish mallard to step on a crossbow, the power of the jianghu known as the “half-hundred Flying Sword”, that is, in the fish eider crossbow to potential has not weakened too much within the range of 50 feet, a fish eider crossbow is a sword fairy flying sword! It is difficult to avoid, let alone fight against it.

If not broken by Wang Xianzhi Gao Shulu body words …… Xu Fengnian thought of this, smiled to himself, there is no if in the world ah.

Xu Fengnian exhaled a breath of air, the wine shop those who came here to take their chances after a full stomach, are happy to come and go, many people in the checkout time are more out of some wine money to the woman who sells wine, and soon the wine shop is gone clean, the few satchel knife stout man before leaving, do not forget to treat the drink Xu Fengnian show goodbye with a clasp of the fist. Xu Fengyen still sitting and drinking, although from time to time with the woman nagging some of the crop harvest of trivial words, but naturally not to the boss lady have any non-sexual thoughts, that charming woman is not naive enough to think that the young man has any reverie, lending words, at the moment there is no business need to wait for, she sat on the opposite side of the table, carrying altar of green ants and a few plates of homemade dishes, said to be a gift to him to drink, anyway, it’s not worth A few coins. As the two chatted, three more guests finally arrived, an old man and two young men, both carrying bags and wooden poles, sat down at the table next to Xu Fengyen’s, not a rich family, the old man only needed half a catty of green ant wine, the two young men could only sniff the aroma of the wine, and watched with bated breath as the elders of the family squinted and drunkenly drank the wine.

A burly teenager who had some green scum on his chin vaguely asked in a low voice: “Grandpa, that group of swordsmen we saw just now, are they really the swordsmen from the Wu Family Sword Mound?”

The old man nodded.

Another clear-eyed teenager was born not vulgar, red lips and white teeth, like a woman, if some years ago to those who prefer the male style of the general species of children unfortunately encountered, it would really be worse than death, good thing that nowadays in the territory of Beiliang many state and county prison, still squatting many domineering children in the prison meal it, compared to the former Beiliang is really to speak too much rules, and then again many rich people have moved out of the Beiliang, this day more than a flow of state The Beiliang Road, really a rare peaceful world. The boss’s wife greeted the three shy guests, sat back in her seat, looked at the showy teenager, subconsciously turned his head to look at the table across the gentleman, well, or this handsome in front of the many, this casual glance, I did not want to give the gentleman caught in the right place, the woman to see that he seems to be a little helpless, she could not help but be handsome, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about, are soon to have a daughter-in-law of the woman, the face of a thin not to go, the woman straight laughed and said, the woman is a little too thin, but the woman is a little too thin to go. The woman laughed and said, “Sir, you look better than the most beautiful girl in our village, your parents must also look good, I look at you a few more times, sir, you can not be angry.”

Xu Fengnian laughed: “Boss lady, if you look at me, I don’t care about your eyes, but can you omit the change from the checkout later?”

The woman laughed and said, “That’s not possible, I’ve given you a jar of good green ant wine, and I can’t afford to lose a single copper coin for the wine later. If the male son can let me touch and pinch twice, I can consider it.”

Xu Fengnian said helplessly, “Boss lady you’re doing this business, it’s really not a loss in any way.”

The woman smiled brightly without hiding it, Xu Fengyen looked at her smiling face and smiled along with her. Northwest border women, compared to the Jiangnan side of the women who grew up in the smoke and rain, naturally less of that tenderness, but also more only this side of the water and soil can be raised out of the heroic, Xu Fengyen like the woman in front of him such a smile, just like he likes the same in Beilang. For Xu Fengyen, who grew up in Beiliang, his ancestral home in Liaodong, on the contrary, has never been able to call the word “home”.

Next door, the young man listening to the conversation between Xu Fengyen and the woman, a little frowned, the tall boy secretly glanced at the boss’s wife’s breasts “bumped” on the edge of the table, swallowed his saliva. Xu Fengnian and the old man sitting side by side with a calm expression, holding a bowl of wine, every drink of wine before closing his eyes to smell the wine, if you look closely, the old man and the two teenagers, the palms of the tiger’s mouth position has a thick callus, obviously touching more than the object’s sake. Xu Fengyen naturally have long seen, but did not want to go deeper, poor study rich practice martial arts, these three people are clearly perennial gun practice, as to why so shabby and downtrodden, even the practice of shaking the gun’s gun barrel are the most shoddy ash rod, who has not been willing to turn the page of the difficult to read the scripture book again?

The pretty boy lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said, “Grandpa, I heard that the Xun family moved to the Central Plains, the devil surnamed He must have followed, what should we do?”

The old man’s eyes were complicated, he lowered his head and took a sip of wine, raised his head and said in a bland tone, “Practice your spear skills first, even if he stands in front of you right now, and lets the two of you stab a hundred times, there is no way for you to injure him in the slightest.”

The teenager froze, his eyes moist.

The robust teenager whispered, “How did I hear that Surname He joined the Fish Dragon Gang? He even got a helmsman as a helmsman, he’s even worse to be messed with than he was in the Xun family.”

The old man glared, the sturdy teenager immediately silenced, the pretty teenager’s eyes lit up, the old man immediately said in a deep voice: “Whether you go to the Central Plains or in the Fish and Dragon Gang, your priority is to practice your guns, as long as grandpa is still alive, whoever of you dares to sneak off and go to him to take revenge, I’ll evict you from the house!”

The tall teenager muttered in a small voice, “Moon Stick Year Blade for a lifetime of guns, with my talent, I won’t be able to practice guns in ten lifetimes.”

The old man slapped his wine bowl and said angrily, “Bullshit! Back then, Wang Xiu practiced the spear for only forty years, and he was one of the Four Great Masters alongside Old Sword God Li! How many years of sword practice? Gu Jiantang practiced for only one year and became the world’s number one swordsman? Our king who ascended to the first throne in the world after Wang Xianzhi ……”

Saying this, the old man was suddenly speechless as the old man snapped to realize that that young feudal king really didn’t seem to have practiced the sword for too many years.

The tall teenager snickered, and even that clean-cut teenager was amused, and the original thick gloom on his face faded a few points.

The old man shook his head and continued to drink.

“Grandpa, our Liang knife, and the northern barbarians’ scimitar, plus the waist knife of King Yan Zhi’s army in the southern border, and is called the world’s three most famous knives, you give a say?”

“Practice your gun! Even if it’s a good famous sword, it’s someone else’s, even if you only have a wooden gun, it’s still in your own hands.”

The tall teenager was very curious, and even more dreamy about the Central Plains Jianghu, and said aggrievedly, “It’s not like I’m going to lose a piece of meat if I talk about it.”

The other north south phase of the teenager to be a lot of peace and quiet, just asked: “Grandpa, last time you said that our northern Liang army’s practice of the gun method can not be, this is why?”

Tall boy hehehe laughed: “Grandpa this is bragging about it, our Northern Liang army but there are Xu Yan Bing Han Laoshan these two gun fairy master brother, where it is our grandfather’s turn to say three things.”

The handsome boy said angrily: “What’s wrong with our grandfather? The Wu Jinling, who was even more powerful than Wang Xiu at the time, just practiced the gun at that time, and also taught our grandfather the art of holding the gun!”

The tall boy made a face, “God knows if it’s just grandpa bragging.”

The old man was not angry, drinking heavily, deep in thought.

Finally leisurely back to God, softly lamented: “Not to mention that the whole of Northern Liang is considered the best talent Wu Jinling, gun fairy Wang Xiujiu and Xu Yanbing Han Laoshan three brothers, on the attainments of the gun and gun skills high and low, grandpa was much worse than them when he was young, and the gap is only getting bigger and bigger, there is nothing to be ashamed of admitting. Only you have to remember one thing, under the sky, no matter what weapons, are for people, masters have masters of the use of ordinary martial arts people have ordinary people practice. That Wu Jinling, nine years old into the martial arts, twelve years old into the second grade, seventeen years old among the King Kong, the gun in his hands, as was endowed with magical powers in general, casually play can have an innate spirit, but even so, at the age of fourteen that year, or encountered a threshold, Grandpa is also at that time casually said a few words holding the gun insights, after that, Wu Jinling will be enlightened, and began to practice the gun, but it is a pity, ah, the sky is jealous! The heroic talent.”

Xu Fengyen who has been listening to the side smiled and opened his mouth, “Wu Jinling’s premature death, it is not necessarily all heavenly jealousy of genius, practicing martial arts, too much smooth sailing is not a good thing, there is a frenemy in the jianghu, often hostile to each other, two people, more in the realm of martial arts steadily climbed, regardless of the speed of how to always be in the advancement, probably because of the whetstone, the gun fairy Wang Xiu if not go to a trip to North Mang. A trip to North Mang, also may not have the future achievement of the sect master. And I have also heard people say, in martial arts, it is very taboo to prefer to be the head of the chicken not to be the tail of the phoenix, practicing the sword and practicing the sword or practicing the gun, after reaching a realm, they don’t talk about what the world’s top three swordsmanship or the first few with the sword, they are all directly running to be the first person in the jianghu, or else in the one year of the year when Wang Xianzhi sat down in the city of the Wudi, there wouldn’t be so many people going to make a fool out of themselves.”

The old man smiled, did not say anything, reason this thing, as long as it is a martial arts family, which elders are not open mouth, in the old man’s view, those who have a false name of “master”, a hundred can not be compared to a “bright teacher”. Moreover, to the old man this age, young have more ambition, year after year has long been worn out, especially hear those nebulous world’s first and second of the first few, but also can not raise interest. However, the old man out of courtesy, or face to the mouth of the young man, raised the hands of the wine bowl, is a toast, the young man also followed the bowl, each drink.

Tall boy is not afraid of the fear of the newborn calf nature, see this not very old guy even heard of Wu Jinling, a stomach of doubt, after all, although Wu Jinling in their hometown over there was mentioned times not less than the gun fairy Wang Xiujiu, but because of the early death, but also the drunken death of the street so a dishonorable death, and separated for many decades, in the rest of the Northern Liang are very few people know this name. The teenager could not help but ask: “How do you know Wu Jinling?”

Xu Fengnian smiled, “I heard a friend mention it.”

The handsome teenager, perhaps having just seen this guy frowning with the boss’s wife, was very disgusted and turned his head to look at the stagecoach road to stare at it alone.

Xu Fengnian glanced at the three ash wood poles of varying lengths, and suddenly blurted out, “Old sir, two juniors, one should have changed his pole half a year ago, three inches longer, and the other should have gained six taels of weight right then and there.”

The two teenagers listened in confusion, the old man’s eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed, and said matter-of-factly, “There is no money.”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “A penny is hard to beat. Old sir, I do have some money left for drinks, why don’t I treat you to two more jins of wine?”

The woman was of course happy for the drinker to have a few more bowls of wine, especially the handsome looking young man in front of her, without waiting for that old man to reply, she went to carry the wine on her ass, which invariably gave the old man a step down, probably believing that his vision sharpened by many years of upheaval was trustworthy to this young stranger, he clasped his fists and smiled, “Then the old man will be thankful for it. ”

Although the old man has been through the ups and downs, but also still is the temperament of the temperament, let the tall teenager to change a bench to sit, invited Xu Fengyen to sit on the hand side of the seat, the boss’s wife added some wine and meat, the plate is not big enough portion is not enough, but at least it is don’t want people to silver, or else she is a loser woman.

The old man wiped the wine with his sleeve and laughed: ”This gentleman’s opinion is accurate, very accurate. Can’t you also practice guns? Generally speaking, without ten or twenty years of kung fu, you can’t really see the depths of my two grandchildren.”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled, “I don’t practice guns, but there are some people around me who are experts in this field, so I know a little bit about it after watching it for a long time.”

The old man joked, “In that case, your son should be even more of an expert.”

Xu Fenian also joked, “Probably a little bit higher.”

The young man snorted coldly, while the tall teenager held back his laughter, he really had never seen such a shameless character.

The old man also did not think, get along with people, not afraid of those who put a small problem to others, afraid of those who have a deep heart. The old man sighed, lamented: “Don’t look at how prevalent in the military nowadays away from the Yang how ash pole gun, in fact, in the gun spectrum on this material has always been the next lower class, the wind rating is extremely poor, too soft, that the toughness of the stock are false, the layman to play up seems to be able to shake out some beautiful gun flower, but those who are selling the style of the street, what the top of the throat of the gun, the gun body bent out of a big arc, which is not a pole! Which one of them is not a white wax spear? If you give him a Northern Liang spear, would you dare? Speaking of this, we really put a lot of blood, the world’s famous gun-making wood, preferred the red and white two-color ox sinew wood on the Guangling Road, the old South Tang’s sword spine wood and red prismatic wood, as well as a little inferior to the tea strips, are all good, but none of them are in our Beiliang, and in the end, our Beiliang rarely see that from the Yuandong Plain of the ash gun, but the other clans in the territory of the popularity of a while, for what? Why? It’s not because the material is cheap, the soldiers get used to it quickly, and it looks good when practicing martial arts. I heard that our border troops, not to mention the heavy iron gun, regardless of riding, are as strong as the iron of the good wood, the money alone, I do not know how much real money spent, especially from elsewhere to be transported into Beiliang in order to make the gun, it is even more expensive, a good gun maintenance, but also a big eat silver things, after all, every year so much to raise the gun of the tung oil is estimated to be unable to escape. So say ah, our Northern Liang iron cavalry’s majesty in the world, can not only because of the Northern Liang warriors born brawn is so simple.”

Xu Fengnian thought deeply, took a sip of wine and nodded his head, “Exactly.”

The old man talked about the energy, drink also fast, speak also not too much concern, slightly out of focus said: “The world knows that the cavalry charge when the lance to bring the impact of the power, the power is amazing, but often ignored the art of charging the lance of the cavalry itself damage, if the two armies charge is a hammer deal, that’s just, but our Northern Liang against the North Mang barbarians, but also not that easy to get along with the generation of nah, which is extremely test the cavalry holding the gun. Extremely examine the cavalryman holding a gun to kill when the surplus handle trick, and this fire, and from person to person, Beiliang not lack of mounted combat generals and gun skills of the high people on this symptomatic medicine, but in the old man’s opinion, it seems to have been done well enough, but it is not really perfect.”

Xu Fengnian asked, “Old sir, what is the explanation for this?”

The old man hesitated for a moment, seemed to be afraid that he had violated the taboo of making shallow conversation, only to think that the two sides of a casual encounter, why need to be so wary? Not to mention also rubbing wine drink is not? Continued: “I have inadvertently seen four or five kinds of Northern Liang gun, material weight length varies, based on the different types of soldiers holding guns, height, arm length, brawn, etc., really has been quite subdivided, compared to the military over there in Liyang, to be too good, just here there are still things can be deeper planing, for example, nicknamed ‘Shu Fei’ Miao Fei, a woman who was a member of the military. Shu Concubine’ Miao bamboo lance, although it has been treated and is not so easy to crack, in the old man’s opinion, its head should be increased by another one or two and a half, while the ‘Iron Cicada’ lance used by the foot soldiers, the body of the lance of two inches is still not enough, and it has to be abated again by this much length.”

Speaking here, the old man stretched out two fingers and gently gestured.

Xu Fengyen, who was originally just thinking of chatting casually with someone for a few moments, fell into deep thought and did not immediately jump to conclusions. Miao bamboo gun head weight exactly should be how, Xu Fengyen is not good to say, but as far as the iron cicada gun is concerned, Xu Yanbing did say once, in the past, this kind of heavy gun was for that armor strong western chu iron cavalry in the spring and autumn battle, especially in the battle with halberdiers have made a great achievement, almost every north liang veteran soldier who participated in the battle of jinghe has a deep love for this gun, in that battle which is second only to the western basilica wall a battle. In the middle and late stages of the battle, the Xu family army can directly use the Iron Cicada gun as a stick and hammer, Xu Yan Bing reason why this is because the North Mang army, although there is also heavy armor, even after more than 20 years of rich and strong military, only to the system of armor in terms of the heritage, is still not as good as that year’s Chu dynasty, North Mang and the light cavalry in the majority of the Iron Cicada gun does not have to be so heavy, just the conversion of the matter, involves, not just inextricably linked to the interests of the border army, and the most headache of feelings There is also the most headache feelings, many cavalry veterans, in the Wutong courtyard in a series of specific matters involved in the reform, there is no lack of people rebound violently, which has this iron cicada gun, an old general directly with “I’m used to holding a plump old daughter-in-law, to get a lightweight pussy, I’d rather not, who likes to take it, anyway, the old man’s soldiers did not have a willingness to take it! “Such a vulgar reason strong rebuttal, when the Wutong courtyard in a large number of approvals sent to Xu Fengyen read, see this article, Xu Fengyen or as a quite can wake up a small joke view, thinking that let nature take its course is, there is no tough to implement the idea of going down.

The old man said, words have no boundaries, but also do not care whether Xu Fengyen is interested in, self-conscious said: “I inadvertently saw this year, the small Tu compiled the “military preparations series”, is a two-volume remnant of the straggling folk, not expensive to sell, only six taels of silver, only the old man still can not afford to buy it, can only be cheeky to look at it not to buy it, a full 100,000 words, it is really every cent counts! Ah, look let a person breathtaking, I’m such a person who has never been to the battlefield, looking at, actually give a person like they are in the martial arts assessment of the masters against the enemy of the chills, the cold air, the hall of the white soldier immortal, even His Majesty also love the big man, even the barracks in the thatched latrines built in the rules of the rules, are written in the book, he brought out of the soldiers, almost anything as long as the rules to do it, also! No wonder when the Western Chu Soldier Saint Ye Bai Kui said that ah, and this person against the battle, once lost power, there will be no recovery.”

The tall boy blinked and asked, “Grandpa, what does it mean?”

The old man lamented, “It means that if you fight against this person, as long as you are taken the lead, regardless of whether you still have the advantage in terms of strength, you can only wait to lose after this. This reasoning is actually the same as our martial arts combat. It’s just that you haven’t reached that realm yet and won’t understand.”

The old man fiercely poured a mouthful of wine and said in exasperation, “How can such a majestic book of war flow into the folklore? Aren’t you afraid of giving it to the northern barbarians to take it? How many more people will die in our Northern Liang when the time comes?”

The old man sighed, did not even want to drink, murmured: “Chen Zhi Bao is indeed lost to the current king of Beiliang, did not become the master of Beiliang, but this is not a reason for the Beiliang army to spoil his efforts ah, our new king of Beiliang, do not care about it? Or is there a personal grudge, deliberately! If this is really the case, it’s really going to be belittled by this old man of mine.”

Xu Fengyen’s expression changed slightly, this “military preparations” has not been deliberately banned in the northern Liang army, Xu Snapdragon and Chen Zhi Bao had no objections to this, this is probably where the self-importance of the top generals in northern Liang, Xu Fengyen did not because Chen Zhi Bao’s departure from Liang to the capital as well as going to Shu to be crowned king, he has no intention of denigrating Chen Zhi Bao’s book of arms, in fact, even Chen Zhi Bao’s old ministry is still treated with favor, and also dealt severely with a few cases of intentional Suppression of Chen Zhi Bao’s old lieutenant promotion events, just Xu Fengyen in this small half a year to hand-pen Phi red and carefully read through the approval of not 10,000, there are eight thousand, there is really not a person an article mentioned the “martial arts summary” of the stray marketplace. But this still made Xu Fengyen very self-condemnation, at this time he subconsciously picked up the wine bowl, drank a mouthful of wine, and then gently said, “Beiliang King in this matter, indeed a great fault.”

The old man laughed it off, how dare they, the peasants of the city, point their fingers at the feudal king? Are they tired of living? Besides, who was the recognized number one person in the world after King Xianzhi of Wudi City? I am afraid that even the most ill-informed women and children in the countryside within Beiliang knew about it.

Xu Fengnian raised his head and asked, “Old sir, with your insight in gun skills, why don’t you go and join the border army?”

The old man showed a pained look that was hard to hide, and tried his best to make his tone light, “It is not true that my family is accustomed to using a big gun, but before my family fell, I did not like to get involved with the rich and powerful, and I only hope that my family will be able to practice martial arts at ease, and one day, I can promote my family’s gun skills, and as for other things, I never think about them much. As my ancestor said, practicing the gun lies in refining the heart. If your heart is mixed, you can’t practice a good gun, and for those of us who use guns, it’s tantamount to sacrificing the fundamentals to seek the end.”

Xu Fengyen said three words with a calm face, “Sun Family Gun.”

The old man who was originally kind and benevolent like a neighbor elder’s aura suddenly changed, even lowering his hand to grip the ash pole resting on the bench, his cloudy eyes glittered, full of murderous aura.

The two teenagers also almost at the same time stood up, dead clenched in the hands of the wooden pole.

This made the boss’s wife, who was originally stoned on melon seeds, startled and frozen on the spot.

Xu Fengyen gently lifted the wine bowl, did not rush to drink, smiled and said: ”I have no malice, since I have a friend who is an expert with a gun, of course I know about the famous Sun family who is in the same hometown as the Gun Immortal Wang Xiu, and the old mister said so much without saying anything, I am just making a wild guess. Sun family’s encounter, I also heard one or two, when a young man called He Wushu door to learn the art, the Sun family masters see him very good bones, just bad character, it did not pay attention to the results of He Wushu was rejected after a few encounters, all the way to the top, became a border general XunDaNiu guard yard instructor, this person’s nature, Jairi must be compared to the Sun family has always been a grudge, in the death of the Sun family masters, on Xun family background and accumulated over the years of the officialdom. After the death of Master Sun, relying on the Xun family background and years of accumulated official contacts, to the Sun family to a rebel Liang the crime of collaborating with the enemy, more than forty mouths of the old and young, only escaped out of the six people, including two children in infancy, which more than ten years, three of them three of the Sun family members have died under the HeWuShu gun, the two are not as good as the others, a person is a secret betrayal of the Sun family, but after the incident, but not to get the glory and wealth, is still being grudges HeWuShu over the river to destroy the bridge, a gun shot to death on the wall, the Sun family is the only one of them, the Sun family has a lot to lose. A gun shot to death on the wall. Sun Qingqiu Sun old man, am I right?”

The old man’s face sank like water, coldly laughed and said in a pale tone, “Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.

While saying goodbye, the old man threw his eyes to those two teenagers, the implication of asking the two children to flee in spite of themselves could not be refused. Just how the teenager can escape at this moment, feet rooted to stand in place, not an inch back, which makes the old man do not know whether to feel happy or pathetic.

Sun family gun, people do not die gun does not retreat ah.

Xu Fengnian, still holding his wine bowl, laughed to himself, ”Elder Sun, do I look like He Wushu’s lapdog? Or do I look like a killer coming after you? But is there anyone under the heavens that I would buy someone a drink before killing them like this?”

The tall teenager said angrily, “You son of a bitch must have poisoned the wine!”

The boss’s wife was not happy at that moment, she roughly heard a little bit of clues from the conversation, she could half believe that the male was an outlaw, who made him look so handsome? She slapped the table and said in annoyance: ”What are you talking about, does this look like a dark store to me? I personally served you all this wine, it’s freshly opened, what eye of yours saw that the gentleman poisoned the wine?”

Xu Fengyen opened the door and asked, “Master, do you really think that the three of you are a match for me alone?”

The old man did not say anything, not half a bit of relief, but his expression was disheveled.

Walking the jianghu for most of his life, especially more than a decade of being an outlaw, the old man had practiced a pair of fiery eyes and a keen intuition of crisis perception, just in the moment he reached out to hold the pole, the young man beside him who originally had a Qi like a normal person, that flickering and passing of the astonishing Qi made the old man have to admit that he was not a rival to him at all.

Xu Fengnian asked, “Old man, I have an unkind request, I want you to go to the border army to become a chief instructor of martial arts who teaches gun skills, but I won’t be in charge of your Sun family’s feud with He Wushu, I guess you, old man, won’t be willing for others to meddle in it either.”

The old man laughed coldly: “This is a son of unknown origin, don’t think that some martial arts evening body, on the tone than the sky, the old man is not that yellow mouth child, also know that our Beiliang army martial arts officer chief instructor that is still the fourth grade of the general, if you say that the unusual position of the head of the instructor, the old man is also when you are the status of the general’s son of the uncommon, believe you one or two, hey, the chief instructor, is that you say that give can be given? Do you consider yourself to be the son of the Lord Secretary Li Hanlin?”

Xu Fengyin couldn’t help but smile, he didn’t realize that this Li Hanlin guy is now so famous on the Northern Liang Road? It sounds like it’s still some good reputation.

The young man who stood on the side of Xu Fenian as if he was on the verge of an enemy looked at this guy’s abominable smile and could not wait to beat him to death with a rod.

Xu Fengyen really does not know how to persuade Sun Qingqiu, but this old man is very likely to be a huge treasure for the Beiliang army, with a good, can make the border army strength of a hundred feet further, it can be said that a show of hands and feet will be the whole life attainments completely inculcated to the Beiliang Sun Qingqiu, even if it is only a third grade strength and with the growth of the age of the old man is more and more river day, and even more than the present day as a vice general of the lingzhou Han Laoshan Wangxiu’s younger brother, but also more beneficial to Northern Liang! Of course this is all still just possible, but if missed, then it is not even possible anymore. Xu Fenian raised his hand, this action soon incurred the old man’s swift gun, this wax pole did not see how to start, on the diagonal downward accurate and ruthless stabbing Xu Fenian’s throat, crisp and clear, and through the most essential Sun family gun of a forward-thinking.

As a result, the two teenagers saw that the wax pole’s “head” stopped a few inches away from the man, and then the wax pole, which conformed to the Sun family’s unique “no return” momentum, instantly squeezed out a large arc, and then collapsed on the spot!

After Xu Fengnian raised his hand, a young woman in tight black clothes appeared in the shade of the tree without a trace, and after seeing this scene, her exquisite figure was completely expressionless.

She was none other than the dead soldier Fan Xiaochai who had only withdrawn from the water whisking room not long ago.

Sun Qingqiu carrying half of the wax pole, palm cracked full of blood, spare the old man has already determined that he is not this person’s enemy, but his shot so useless, or too let the old man shocked and frightened.

He recognized that this shot, even those who usually see the dragon and not see the tail of the second grade masters, can not be treated so lightly, not to mention this sitting young man does not move, and even the slightest qi are not different flow!

Xu Fengyen did not look at Fan Xiaochai, just said, “You don’t need to follow this period of time, take the old gentleman to the Liangzhou border, find Lu Qiu’er, the official position I’ve already set, exactly how to use the Sun family’s gun technique, you let Lu Qiu’er decide for himself.”

Then Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, “Old master, keep the money making no-budget business, you really don’t do it?”

The old man is in the end an open-minded person, after a little thought, he sighed: “Anyway, it’s all out of my control, it depends on whether God is going to kill my Sun family or not, in the bottom of my heart, I don’t believe that He Wushu, a Fish and Dragon Gang helmsman, will be able to make a move to move you, gongzi.”

Xu Fengyen sighed in relief, and tentatively asked, “Why don’t we finish our drinks, and then you guys move again, old man?”

The old man sat down on his butt, “Drink, why not!”

The two teenagers sat back in their original seats with fear and trembling, especially the clean-cut teenager, were dumbfounded, as for the rash tall teenager, full of worship.

It should be true that he had met the legendary worldly superior!

It turns out that earlier this young man’s so-called a little bit high, is really high ah?

After this leaping incomparable teenager sat down, asked in a hurry: “Masters of the gentleman brother, my grandfather always said that I practice martial arts talent is not good, you must be higher than my grandfather’s vision, not to help me take a look at it? Could it actually be a martial arts practicing wizard?”

Xu Fengyen looked at the teenager and said flatly, “As a matter of fact, when you reach the old man’s age, you are still a long way behind.”

The teenager’s mouth was wide open, still not dead, crying and asking, “What? Highly skilled gentleman, you must not look away ah, and then give a closer look?”

Xu Fengyen shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s harder to lose sight than not to lose sight.”

The teenager sighed, drooping his head and stopped talking.

The clean-cut teenager hid his mouth and snickered, only when the expert who was not as repulsive as he was at first looked his way, he subconsciously glared.

Xu Fenian laughed: “Practice your gun well, you will have great success, no one said that a woman can’t practice fierce and invincible first class gun skills.”

The “teenager” reddened.

The boss’s wife, who has been shocked many times, looked at the “teenager”, no wonder she looked like a little girl.

The woman was really stupid and bold, jokingly joked, “Masters, you can’t be a master and not pay for your drinks.”

Xu Fengnian pulled out a small piece of silver, placed on the table, the boss’s wife laughed: “Yo, it really did not give out a penny more silver, masters of the gentleman brother, you are a master, can not be more generous, not afraid of losing the masters of the style ah?”

Not far from the dead soldier Fan Xiaochai recalled his own encounters, began to admire this village wild woman’s boldness and courage.

Xu Fengyen laughed: “When the family only know that oil and salt is expensive, nowadays there is no such thing as a swollen face.”

Xu Fengnian suddenly saw the circling green and white falcon above his head, slowly got up and said, “Master, I have to go beforehand, let’s look for you for a drink at the border of Liangzhou, I believe there should still be a chance.”

Sun Qingqiu followed and stood up, nodded without saying much.

Xu Fengnian flickered away after he finished speaking.

Again, it made the woman and the two Sun teenagers think that they had encountered a fairy or ghost.

Only then did Fan Xiaochai say coldly and stiffly, “Finish your drink and rush to the border immediately.”

Sun Qingqiu gave a hmmm.

The tall teenager looked at this sister with wide eyes and couldn’t move his eyes away.

The young girl who was dressed as a man was a bit envious, what a good looking to the extreme sister, just giving off too much of a cold feeling.

The boss’s wife sitting at the next table patted her chest vigorously and tsked, “Today is really an eye opener.”

The old man took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and said softly, “Who says otherwise.”

Fan Xiaochai stood in the green shade and closed her eyes.

Her intuition told her that it should be Northern Mang sending out troops.

She was not half interested in the ups and downs of the fate of the three Sun family members. As for that He Wushu of what’s-her-name Fish Dragon Gang, perhaps for the three of them, it was a foe that she originally feared she would want to kill in her lifetime but couldn’t.

But the gap between herself and her enemy was even more different.

She knew that she would never be able to kill this man with her own hands in her life.

After all, even Wang Xianzhi had failed to kill him.

But that didn’t mean the man wouldn’t die.

Because of the entire Northern Mang that he had to face.
