Chapter 190 – Battle of Two, Battle of Two Countries (IX)

After determining that Wang Sui was the lynchpin of North Mang’s eastern front, although Xu Fengyen appeared to be cloudy, his heart was in turmoil, this news was too shocking, no less than learning that Qi Yanglong of Shangyin Academy had entered the capital to become a Minister of Guanwang. The Central Plains land sinking, countless heroes and heroes by the big waves, either for the country’s loyalty, either to avoid the world to escape the Zen, or bear the two surnames of the family slaves of the infamous into the temple hall of Liyang, there are a lot of people on this anonymity, in the forest and grass in the mountains and the city of the streets of the unknown, the world’s eleventh Wang Mingyin, the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty Gu Dazu, the far away from the North Mang of the Western Shu Prince Su Su Su and Lu Xiufu, in the North Mang of the grass as a pirate in the Jizhou Han’s only! Orphans, are so, if not Xu Fengyen into the jianghu, stirring up the storm, they may be so day after day, year after year, in a small pond of silence, will not once again break into the world’s eyes. Wang Sui’s comeback, his sudden emergence after twenty years of hibernation, is undoubtedly the most prominent, especially since this man chose Northern Mang, which will certainly have a huge and far-reaching impact on the pattern of the whole world. Because this suave East Vietnam extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, one of the four great generals of the Spring and Autumn period in the past, with the military is the most extraordinary, the most adept at a small number of troops to defeat the powerful enemy, is the Spring and Autumn period of the military family “Chu Yue Qizheng” in the that odd, truly and military Ye Bai Kui stand shoulder to shoulder, as a matter of fact, at that time, has not been crowned king of the Xu Snapdragon, more with the The invincible Xu family iron horsemen are famous in the world, personal deployment of troops, can not be compared with Ye Baikui Wang Sui two people, Xu Snapdragon in front of their children from no cover, rarely praised the peer figures of people Tu even never hide their appreciation of Wang Sui, even Li Yishan also said that if you take the king’s division of the self-proclaimed Ye Baikui, replaced with a master of sneak attack, like to move troops, good at combining horse and foot If you replace Ye Baikui with Wang Sui, who is good at sneak attack and running attack, likes to move his troops, is good at combining horseback and foot, and never fights backwater battles, there is no way for Xu’s soldiers to complete the encirclement of the battle of Xibibei.

It was naturally unfortunate that Wang Sui was in North Mang. However, it was fortunate that Wang Sui did not appear on the front battlefield of Liangmang, but was on the eastern front to restrain Gu Jiantang’s 300,000 Liangliao border troops.

According to the feudal law of Liyang Zong, there is a rule that a vassal king is not allowed to see the vassal king in private, but even earlier, when the kingdom of Dongyue still existed, there was already an interesting story about a king not seeing the king, a son-in-law of a certain city on the shore of the East China Sea, surnamed Wang, and a son-in-law of the Emperor of Dongyue, who happened to be surnamed Wang as well. Wang Xianzhi and Wang Sui, a jianghu master who never asked about the glory and decline of the temple, a drunken beauty’s knee wakes up in charge of the world’s power of the emperor’s son-in-law, the two people who are not related to each other somehow got into a stalemate.

Seeing Xu Fengyen fall into silence and more and more gloomy face, Jiang Nai flatly said: ”Back then, that trip to North Mang, uncle Cao and I visited Wang Sui, uncle Cao persuaded Wang Sui, hoping that he can serve for Chu, but was refused, Wang Sui said that East Vietnam lost to Liyang, is the general trend, not the crime of war, as for the destruction of East Vietnam, he did not have any unresolvable knots, but the loss of Gu Jiantang, is the most serious crime for him Wang Sui. Gu Jiantang, is his Wang Sui’s second great shame after losing to Wang Xianzhi when he was young, he wants to fight Gu Jiantang once more with comparable forces and comparable momentum.”

Xu Fengnian muttered to himself, “All of you are in your prime, why are you still so childish. Military and state affairs, it’s not a child’s playground, today you punched me, tomorrow I’ll have to kick you more.” Jiang Nai looked odd, “Wang Sui mentioned about you, after he heard that you practiced sword, he made a bet with uncle Cao, Wang Sui bet that you can definitely become a great master of martial arts in the future.”

Xu Feng Nian laughed, “What’s there to bet on, isn’t it obvious that it’s a done deal? Your uncle Chess Waiting Royalty is also willing to follow the bet, isn’t he being a scatterbrain ingrate? What is the bet?”

Jiang Nai didn’t have the heart to say, “Uncle Cao didn’t say that you couldn’t become a grandmaster, he just put your achievements at the same height as his own, but Wang Sui said that you could fight Wang Xianzhi.”

Xu Fengnian stroked the solid scruff that he hadn’t shaved for a little over half a decade, “Wang Sui’s insight is unique ah, when I have the chance, I must invite this old guy for a drink, just because of his eyesight, I can drink three big cups for the first time.”

Jiang Nai broke into an unprecedented smile and said, “Do you know why Wang Sui was so optimistic about you, who was only in the first-line Vajra realm at that time?”

Xu Fengyen couldn’t guess what Wang Sui, a thousand year old savant, was thinking, and casually said, “Looks?”

Jiang Nai seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and held his breath so much that he was speechless.

Xu Fengyen was shocked, “Wang Sui is really judging people by their appearance?”

Jiang Nai was in a bad mood and was unwilling to speak again.

Xu Fengyen began to think to himself, “Wang Sui comes from a high family of scholars, when he was young, he let loose, he was a chivalrous man, and only after the crown did the prodigal son turn back, he practiced martial arts for only five years, and he was perfect in all eighteen martial arts of swords, guns, bows, and especially his sword skills are not bad, and even Song Nianqing of Sword Pond and Chai Qingshan also praised him quite a lot. When Wang Sui was young, he was also recognized as a beautiful man in East Vietnam, and those women in the court who are outstanding women like to be nicknamed Danglang. In that case, with me is the same way ah, no wonder no wonder ……”

Jiang Nai can not help but to kick on a foot, Xu Fengnian had expected, turned his head is a glare. Probably was bullied in the early years used to, even now is like a land god immortal wind Royal Thousand miles of women sword immortal, also subconsciously retracted the foot on the spot. Xu Fengyen still exasperated: “Say, who did you learn this problem from? Is it Cao Changqing, or is it old master Sun Xiji?”

Jiang Nai coldly muttered in a low voice, “What do you care?!”

Xu Fengyen rubbed his buttocks, not long ago that kick in the alley, let him easily managed to run out of expert demeanor ruined, suddenly full of indignation, grunted conspiratorially, “I heard that your Western Chu temple there is a young white boy, surnamed Song, name is very big, so big that even Tai’an city ‘heard that his face to the white, the beauty of the posture, xiao xiaosu suu like a clear wind under the pine, high and Xu xu, and the wind under the pine. The wind under the pines, high and Xu lead’, a lot of people ate their fill saying that this guy often traveled the mountains and rivers, by the village woodcutter mistakenly thought that the immortal descended to the earth. Even Qi Yang Long also in front of Zhao Zhuan for his name and reputation, said that the surname of Song brilliant, the world’s young scholars generation, poetry and articles, as the dragon palace to explore the black dragon, only this person won the pearl, the rest is just the claws of the Lin. So now there is a dragon chapter phoenix posture in Liyang, that is to say that this guy’s literary talent, as well as ……”

Jiang Nai pretends to look confused, interrupting Xu Fengnian’s rambling, “Dragon chapter I have heard of, Song Maolin well, the youngest bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in the history of Da Chu, if it is not Uncle Cao’s beads in the first place, he will also be the youngest Chess to wait for the imperial decree, but as for what ‘dragon chapter Fengzi’ ah what ‘North Xu South Song’ ah, what Song Maolin’s article so-and-so’s posture interplay ah, I am all unaware of it.”

Xu Fengnian laughed in exasperation, “That little white boy also has the nerve to be juxtaposed with me? I can take down a thousand Song Maolin with one hand. It’s just a sloppy diatribe, I think it’s just so-so… Exiled Immortal my ass!”

Jiang Nai still had the same innocent look in her eyes, “If I remember correctly, Elder Master Sun complimented him that a single diatribe can be used as 100,000 soldiers.”

Then she began to lower her head and wiggle her fingers, “Liyang Zhongshu Ling (离阳中書令) Qi Yanglong (齐阳龙) said that he has a good writing style and has the style of an exiled immortal, Tantan Weng (门下省坦坦翁) said that this person’s level of the imperial examinations and system of arts doesn’t lose out to Sun Yin (孙寅), and Yao Baifeng (姚白峰) the left priest of the State Prince Academy (国子监左祭酒) said that he ‘knows the books and has a good understanding of the reasoning’, and together with the Elder Elder Elder Teacher of our Da Chu (大楚), who said that his diatribe is written with a great deal of momentum. Uncle Cao said that his chess skill is only inferior to Fan Chang Hou by a thread, ten of the most learned people under the sky, that’s five people who said good things about him, I’ll count again, it seems like there’s …… more.”

Xu Fengyen blankly said, “Stop stop stop, that little white man is also in the scholarly and literary world has a little bit of fame, you look at your so-called so-and-so?”

Jiang Nai intentionally looked left and right, just not looking at Xu Fenian, “Who is it, where where? Why can’t I see it?”

Xu Fengyen reached out and gently pressed Jiang Nai’s forehead to prevent her from shaking her head.

Jiang Nai slapped off his paw and scornfully said, “Are you bored to care about a Guangling Dao reader who is far away in the sky? Beimang’s millions of troops are all pressed headlong against the Northern Liang border, you can’t be bothered to care?”

Xu Fenian looked at Jiang Nai’s eyes and asked softly, “It is said that most of the literary ministers in your Western Chu temple have suggested that the surname Song is related to you ……”

Once again, Jiang Nai interrupted Xu Fenian’s words, her face as usual, her flat tone, as if she was talking about a small matter that was out of the picture, “There was also someone who suggested Kou Jianghuai before, followed by Xie Xiejian, and then him, Song Maolin.”

Xu Fengyen’s face was somber as he asked in a deep voice, “What is he, Cao Changqing, doing? If it’s that he’s too busy to care about you, the Princess of Da Chu, and I haven’t seen him fight all the way to the foot of Tai’an City. If it is said that he is very idle, then even a few broken mouths in the temple hall can’t control? With this, you still want to restore the country?”

Jiang Nai shook his head, “Uncle Cao is already very good.”

Xu Fengnian wanted to say something.

Jiang Nai gently exhaled and looked towards the far side of the street where the lights were dimming, “How do you say it? Should we take the initiative to meet the battle, or slowly consume it and wait for them to come to our door?”

Xu Fengnian instantly resumed his hangdog demeanor, “It was hard to build up so much momentum earlier, but you kicked it away. Then wait, Snow Lotus City is not too big and not too small, there are probably still a few hours left.”

Jiang Nai was puzzled, “Not leaving? We’ve escaped all the way anyway, we don’t care about this time, right?”

Xu Fengyen did not say anything, turned back and walked back to the alley, Jiang Nai silently trailed behind. The young lady of Ma Family Fort, the bow on the horse, and the poor young man, Hong Shuji, were both still there, and the Central Plains swordsman also stayed on, obviously not dead to the snow lotus. Seeing the sword fairy “senior” and the face of the beautiful back box woman returned, complex, middle-aged man knows that the two immortals are also running to the snow lotus, rob is absolutely can not be robbed, begging is also most likely to beg, but he thought of that every month must rely on Liaodong old ginseng to hang on to her, the man clenched his teeth, to Xu Fengyen cupped his fists and said: “Senior, can that snow lotus be given to me? Senior Shao Mu, I am willing to take my life in exchange!”

Xu Fenian froze for a moment and shook his head, “I must have this snow lotus, there is nothing to discuss.”

Shao Mu looked miserable, closed his eyes and then snapped them open, resolutely said, “Then I have no choice but to ask senior for some advice!”

Xu Fenian waved his hand and laughed: “You might as well wait for one night, if I still stay in the city by dawn, you can take your life to exchange for that snow lotus in Liu Huaixi’s residence, if I have already left the city, you can then do business with that kid, it is nothing more than to help him make a trip to the Ma family fortress, with the strength of your second grade minor sect master, it must not be difficult to take a private fortress at will. ”

A young girl with an odd name boldly retorted, “Our Ma Family Fort’s guard instructor is known in the jianghu as Wei Iron Gun, a reed-leaf gun, cast in fine iron, one zhang two long, with the head of the gun alone being a foot and three inches, powerful as hell! I once saw Instructor Wei pierce through three iron armors with one shot! Besides, my Ma’s fort has a cavalry that comes and goes like the wind! Even that General Liu’s residence in Snow Lotus City wouldn’t dare to underestimate our Ma Family Fort!”

Shao Mu laughed it off.

On the contrary, Xu Fengyen squatted on the steps beside Shao Mu and said with a smile, “It sounds like your family is very strong… Let me ask you a question… Is your ancestor a local, or did you migrate from the Central Plains?”

The young girl cautiously said, “Why are you asking this?”

Seeing that she was not willing to answer, Xu Fengyen stopped pursuing the question and started to concentrate on his qi.

Shao Mu hesitated for half a day and finally couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Does senior really want to compete with that Northern Mang Tuoba Bodhisattva?”

Xu Fengnian gave a hmmm.

Even Shao Mu, who thought he was used to seeing great storms, was staggered.

Since he was able to fight with the North Mang Military God, he should at the very least have the cultivation of a First Grade Finger Xuan, and might even be able to touch the threshold of the legendary Heavenly Image Realm, right?

Jiang Nai intended to look at this guy’s pretense of sophistication, coldly grunted and demolished the stage: “Has already fought for half a decade or a month to come? It’s still not a winner or a loser!”

Shao Mu’s two eyes almost burst out of their sockets and swallowed his saliva.

Xu Fengyen smiled and did not say anything.

Although away from the Central Plains Jianghu news blocked Snow Lotus City stayed for a few years, Shao Mu really can not figure out who has this heavenly ability, it is hard not to be their own eyes without pearls, sitting next to the senior, is that Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a? Otherwise, the sword masters, the sword pool Song Nianqing and the southeast of the first swordsman Chai Qingshan is an old man, Tongxi sword fairy Lu Baijie is not enough to have this ability, the age is still not right. Shao Mu from the Central Plains to the Snow Lotus City, in the Western Sichuan territory heard that the Wu family sword mound of the sword crown Wu Liuding, with a woman sword service began to walk the rivers and lakes. The old man who died under the sword of his “senior” just now also made the same guess, mentioning the raising of swords and flying swords, but Shao Mu does not think that Wu Liuding can reach the height of fighting with Topaz for half a decade in just a few years, and then the amazing martial arts geniuses, without a life-threatening fight, and without experiencing the “feeding strokes” of many of the top martial arts masters. The “feed the move”, with talent among the first grade realm is not difficult, but has a martial arts assessment of ten cultivation, is still as difficult as heaven.

Half an hour later, the young girl was drowsy, and the teenager was holding on to his eyes. Xu Fenian raised his arm, the head of the six year phoenix pierced through the night sky and fell down diagonally, Xu Fenian took out the secret letter inside the slender bamboo tube, as if he was relieved.

Jiang Nai cast an inquiring glance.

Xu Fenian cheerfully said, “Xu Yan Bing left everyone behind and single-handedly killed outside of Snow Lotus City, at most half an hour later he can enter the city.”

Jiang Nai let out an oh, “Then I will wait for half an hour.”

Xu Fenian shook his head, “No need, since Xu Yan Bing arrived so much earlier than I expected, then you can return to Guangling Road without worry.”

Then Xu Fenian turned his head and said to the teenager and Shao Mu respectively, “Hong Shuji, go and bring that snow lotus, I will naturally help you fulfill your wish. Shao Mu, at the latest tomorrow morning I will be able to get you the one from Liu Huaixi, remember to rush to Beiliang immediately after delivering the snow lotus, you can protect your name at any post station in Youzhou or Lingzhou, someone will bring you to me at that time, all in all, I accept this life of yours, Shao Mu.”

The teenager was half fluttering and half apprehensive, his face reddened, “Really?”

Xu Fengnian gently lifted his arm, letting that Haidongqing return to the night sky before nodding, “You’ve seen with your own eyes how good my swordsmanship is.”

The young man jumped up with joy, and went to the house in a hurry to bring out an iron box, the box stored ice, ice wrapped snow lotus. Xu Fengyen took the box and handed it over to the puzzled Jiang Nai, “For you.”

Xu Fengyen pointed to the wound on her neck, and pointed to his own cheek, smiled, “Snow lotus is probably the best thing in the world for a woman to nourish her face.”

Not giving Jiang Nai a chance to refuse, Xu Fengyen looked at her and calmly said, “Also, take a message to Cao Changqing, just tell him to rest assured that there are some places that the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is familiar with.”

Xu Fenian blinked, “If you don’t mind taking another message for me, please say one more thing to that little white boy surnamed Song, what kind of Feng Shen Yu Lang’s banished immortal man, I will beat him so much that his parents won’t even recognize him.”

Jiang Nai hugged the box and didn’t say anything.

Xu Fengnian laughed: “Just hold on for half an hour, I actually need to face Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi alone to fight, I want to make Tuoba Bodhisattva’s state of mind completely damaged, so that the next time they fight each other, they will have more chances of winning. Don’t worry, once the opportunity is not good, I want to run easily. I’ve been recuperating throughout this journey, enough for me to play cat and mouse with them for half an hour.”

Jiang Nai was still silent.

Xu Fengnian snickered, “What, don’t want to leave?”

Jiang Nai pooh-poohed.

Xu Fengyen waved his hand, “Go go go.”

Jiang Nai’s expression was stiff and cold, she turned around, the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow flew out of the purple sandalwood sword case and floated horizontally in front of her body, she gently leaped onto it and passed away like a rainbow in an instant.

Shao Mu was once again dumbfounded.

It’s another fucking sword fairy!

When did we have a land sword fairy like this in the Jianghu of Liyang?

The teenager grinned at the young girl and said, “I told you, it’s really a fairy sister!”

The teenager stepped on the teenager’s instep, and the teenager stood on his own, baring his teeth.

After about half an incense stick, the teenager looked at the man who stood on the steps always looking at the direction the fairy disappeared and asked softly, “You lied to her, didn’t you?”

Xu Fenian smiled, turned to Shao Mu and said, “Take the two children to Snow Lotus House, say that I promised to give you a snow lotus, and that Mrs. Song will do whatever it takes to help you ask for it from Liu Huaixi, and then let Snow Lotus House settle them down. Let’s go, through the back door.”

As Shao Mu left with the teenage girl, he vaguely heard the sound of a horse’s hooves coming from a distant alley.
