Chapter 195 – The Central Plains Have Never Been Less Magnificent

A reunion after a long goodbye, in the two people each drink up the pot of wine, so the clouds and lightheartedly dispersed. Consumptive Shen Changgeng unprecedentedly did not say a word from beginning to end, until the woman put on the backdrop hat that hid her face and walked straight into that town, only then did he snap out of his trance and carefully elbowed Xu Fenian, curiously asking, “Acquaintance?”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “Sort of, she, ah, was never a pleasant twat.”

Shen Changgeng hurriedly sat upright and said in a serious tone, “Looking like such a scourge, it’s only right that her temper is almost as bad as it should be. I say a word of conscience, this kind of colorful women, after this village is not this store, don’t miss this thing for the sake of face, what brother is the hand and foot of the woman as clothes of bullshit, we listen to a listen also even if it is really can be lack of heart! If I say ah, the hand can be broken clothes do not take off is the right reason!”

Xu Fengyen couldn’t help but say, “I think you will definitely find a daughter-in-law like a flower, then the fairy couple hand in hand in the river and lake.”

A mesmerized Shen Changgeng rubbed his hands and said, “I borrow your good advice.”

Xu Fengyen suddenly saw a familiar figure walking alone with a sword case on his back in the distance, hesitated for a moment, got up and said goodbye to Shen Changgeng, leading his horse far away. When Xu Fengnian apologized again and again, said the word “lend me a hand”, began to approach the depressed attitude of the youth carrying the box, perhaps the latter due to the spirit of the rhinoceros, soon turned his head to look at, after seeing Xu Fengnian, with a shocked expression like seeing his own ancestor floating out of the grave, originally quite eye-catching arrogance of the world’s son of the style, suddenly broke completely, hurriedly jogging towards Xu Fengnian, if not worried about their own kneeling down to kowtow If he was not worried that his kneeling and bowing behavior was too shocking, this young man with four famous swords in his box would have done it long ago, and at this time, he only cupped his fists with red eyes and whispered, “Youyan Villa Zhang Chunlin has met you, Your Excellency!”

Xu Fengyen was with Han Shengxuan before the battle of death, snow blocked the road, with Wang Xiaoping Xuanyuan Qingfeng and others borrowed the Youyan Villa, during the period of straw raincoat fishing encountered a group of white-clothed qi practitioners who fluttered like a fairy, there was a road to see the injustice of the intent to help, it is considered to save Zhang Chunlin’s parents, and afterward, also took away the Dragon Beacon flint and fine waist and other swords. Now Youyan Villa time to turn around, the knot is untied Zhang Jieling and his wife teamed up to re-open the furnace casting sword, more than ten sharp and unparalleled sword have come out, the villa’s reputation, and became one of the new top ten clans, along with Xu Fengyen’s world-famous, Youyan Villa also by virtue of the traces of Xu Fengyen’s hidden identity, the longing for the rivers and lakes of the Zhang Chunlin naturally Xu Fengyen as a benefactor and the Immortal, out of the parents’ wings shelter to leave the villa. This time, out of the wings of his parents sheltered from the mountain village, is to go to the northern Liang territory to look for that he once mistakenly thought was a crane-haired boyish face but a hundred years old “sword immortal senior”, want to for his parents and the mountain village in person to the northwest frontier of the young king to thank, as for that even buried deep in the bottom of the heart, even the parents did not tell the intention of the journey, Zhang Chunlin more and more Firm.

Xu Fenian joked, “At that time, I was fooling around with a full head of white hair, it’s hard for Mr. Zhang to still recognize it.”

Zhang Chunlin subconsciously blurted out, “I can recognize it even if it turns into ashes!”

Then this young lord of Youyan Villa was dumbfounded, hating himself for slapping him twice to relieve his hatred, it was hard to hold it in. Xu Fengnian laughed it off and casually asked, “How is it a person?”

Zhang Chunlin who almost didn’t know where to place his two hands blushed and said, “I also met some high sect jianghu children, but the gathering is fast and dispersed fast, in the end there are only two or three confidant friends left to talk about, but unfortunately, near this town, those people must follow the clan elders to travel with them, and I’m really not used to seeing something that has already been agreed upon, and I just found an excuse to to get away.”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “When one is in the jungle, it is inevitable that one has to follow the customs.”

Xu Fengnian also did not want to talk more about these old-fashioned didactic words with a person of the same age, and quickly changed the topic, “The four swords in the box, in addition to the rootless Tianshui that I saw back then, the three new swords are all from the Longyan Sword Furnace?”

Zhang Chunlin reached out and patted the sword box behind him, grinning broadly said: “cast from Longyan incense burner has two handles, named as a young bull and monk hut, that one hundred and twenty years have not been opened in the water dragon sword burner also at the end of last year, the sword body as transparent as ice and snow, the sword body and a hint of the rules of suspicion of the destruction of the natural arc, in order to commemorate the grace of the public, I dare to take the name of the frost knife, it does not sound like the same, let the grace of the public joke. I’ll let you laugh at me.”

From the entrance of the town there are still two hundred paces, tents standing, more and more difficult to walk, especially Xu Fengyin also anachronistically holding a horse, naturally cause people to look at, simple family culture, Zhang Chunlin has always been a young man who knows what he knows and is kind to others, but to see the grandfather apologized, young and rightfully exuberant Zhang Chunlin is still a little bit of gas, just for the grandfather to feel unworthy of at the same time, but also always cautioned himself not to He just felt bad for him and at the same time, he always warned himself not to miss the great event of his grandfather. When Xu Fengyen was unable to pass through the sea of people with one person and one horse, he said to Zhang Chunlin, “I won’t send you into the town, I still have to return to Liangzhou.”

Once again, Zhang Chunlin froze on the spot with his brain not being useful enough, “Could it be that Your Excellency is not going in?”

Xu Fengnian laughed to himself, “I won’t join in the fun, the border war is in full swing, you should have heard that I was whisked all the way to the south by Topaz, I have to rush back immediately.”

Zhang Chunlin was about to speak, from ear to neck, his eyes wandering, obviously in a heavenly battle.

Xu Fengyen seemed to see through his mind, and laughed sagely, “If you think you want to enter the Northern Liang Border Army because you want to repay the favor, I’ll tell you from my heart, in fact, there’s no need to do so, for one thing, you Youyan Villa has gifted me with a sword twice, you don’t owe me anything, and then again, the children of the jianghu are old in the jianghu and the generals of the border gate are dead in the border gate, it’s all true from the ancient times to the present day.”

Zhang Chunlin was about to speak, before and after the two groups of people as promised, behind them is with Xu Fengyen accidental acquaintance of Shen Changgeng, from the town out of the three is Zhang Chunlin rare like-minded friends, the two sides status status has a world of difference, temperament style is also a huge gap, so when the three stood next to Zhang Chunlin, stage fright Shen Changgeng stood next to Xu Fengyen, the two circles, clearly distinguishable, even if those three young Even though the three young men do not have a slight look of contempt, but with Shen Changgeng but just a few steps away, as if far away from the sky. Xu Fengnian did not have any sighs, Jiangnan Road Temple of the water goblet, the humble Chen Xiliang even with those prominent celebrities sat with the clan, how can it not be the same? Although Zhang Chunlin and those three peers are close friends, but has never revealed the identity of Xu Fengyen, told the story of that took place on the lake in the mountain village of the immortal flying sword fight, Zhang Chunlin only said that he encountered the anonymous sword immortal seniors, white hair like frost, flying sword countless, the authentic immortal.

Shen Changgeng tugged on Xu Fenian’s sleeve and whispered: ”You want to go north? Why don’t you bring me along? I, anyway, can not help much here, no one wants to wave the flag, just want to go to the North Liang side to take a look, this way, listen to some people say that the North Liang Royal Palace not only has a library of weapons have to listen to the tide of the lake, the same behind the mountain has thirty new monuments, always heard people curse the North Liang, the beginning of this year’s spring that moment also heard that the North Liang Youzhou side of the debacle, a series of defeats, what ah what ah what ah what ah to defeat the North Mang barbarians to the doorstep, this trip to the doorstep, this trip to the doorstep, this trip to the doorstep, this trip to the doorstep of the North Mang barbarians. To the doorstep, this trip to the western region, mainly through the northern part of the Western Sichuan Road near the northern Liang Lingzhou area, only to know that some things may not be the same, I began to half-believe half-doubt, personally heard the different, want to see with their own eyes, if unfortunately encountered a long drive into the northern Mang barbarians, to the hooves of the horse trampled into the mud, even if I was unlucky. If in case that’s not the case, back in Yanglu County, I want to say something that no one else has said.”

Thousands of Jianghu people from the Central Plains entered the Western Region in three ways, Shen Changgeng’s group was in the center, crossing the border of the Western Shu Road and Northern Liang Road, Huang Fangfo’s group leading the way took the Western Shu Trestle Road, and the last group of people passed through Lingshou, with Liu Nirong of the Fish and Dragon Gang doing his best to lead the way as a landowner.

Xu Fengyen looked at Shen Changgeng who looked grave and sincere, shook his head and said, “Don’t go, people are dying on the border every day, there is nothing to see, besides, the security is tight all over the Northern Liang Pass, you can’t go to the northernmost Tiger City in Liangzhou or the southernmost Xiaguang City in Hulukou.”

Shen Changgeng scratched his head, turned his head and glanced at the far side of the gang belonging to the group of people who do not know each other, “I casually mentioned to them, said you are the local people of Beiliang, I do not know how, they heard that someone to lead the way, but also said that they want to go to Beiliang to break into the world, said that in any case to the western region, do not go to the Beiliang would be too bad, not good to go back to his hometown with people to brag about their own to have seen that the Beiliang three hundred thousand iron cavalry. I can’t even go back to my hometown to brag about having seen the 300,000 iron horsemen of Northern Liang. Hey, this person, I just have the problem of bragging without a draft, this moment is riding a tiger hard to get down, or you bring us to the southern border of Beiliang into, after that we will go on our own?”

Xu Fengyen of course could not drag his feet for their sake, it was impossible to slow down the pace of rushing to Tiger’s Head City, still he could only shake his head, “If not for this current situation, a year and half a year earlier, not to mention the southern border of Beiliang, even taking you guys to Liangzhou Pass to see the scenery of that foreign countryside is not a problem.”

Shen Changgeng was not annoyed, patted Xu Fengnian’s shoulder and laughed, “It’s okay, I’ll go back and let them know. Okay, let’s! As you owe me a drink, what?”

Shen Changgeng turned around and jogged out a dozen steps, then suddenly turned his head and asked, “By the way, if I arrive in Beiliang in the future, how can I find you for a drink?”

Xu Fengnian was about to speak, Zhang Chunlin had already looked towards the after-thought Shen Changgeng, and laughed out loud, “Coincidentally, I’m also going to Liangzhou soon, if you don’t mind, let’s go together?”

Shen Changgeng was a bit stunned and asked tentatively, “It won’t bother you?”

Zhang Chunlin’s smile was intoxicating, and he said in a cheerful and loud voice: “Keep a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine all the way, how?!”

Then Zhang Chunlin turned his head to look at his three friends gloatingly, “Chen Zhengyong, Qi Xuezhi, Cai Yongjia, what do you say, dare to follow the pre-arranged appointment, when this time is over, go to the Liangzhou border with me?”

Among the three people, Chen Zhengyong, who has the strongest meaning of jade tree, smiled and said, “What do you dare not do?”

The young man with the most conceited look between his brows wrapped his arms around his chest, “I dare to kill barbarians in person, but I wouldn’t dare to go to Liangzhou? If that feudal king really had the feat of personally leading his troops at Hulukou, if there is a piece of his Xu Fengnian among the 300,000 stone tablets in Qingliang Mountain, there is no harm for me, Qi Retreating, to lead his horse in the future!”

Another Confucian-shirted young man with a scholarly air smiled and said, “Rouge County’s nymphs and such, I like them the most. As for fighting, I don’t like it too much, but I’m not afraid of it either.”

Xu Fengnian smiled and bid them farewell, leading his horse away.

Chen Zhengyong glanced at Zhang Chunlin who was traveling all over the world and asked softly, “Who is it? At that time, when we met Fairy Liu of Jia Drum Stage, we didn’t see you so restless.”

Zhang Chunlin laughed: “You will know later.”

Just when Xu Fengyen was far away from the crowd and turned on his horse and galloped to the north, it was no longer a woman in purple dress standing on the top of the tall building.

Then this woman opened her mouth and said words that spread throughout the world in this late spring of Xiangfu 2nd year.

At this moment, she stood with her arms folded like a woman emperor sitting in the north facing south.

Near the soles of her feet lay six heads dripping with blood.

“There’s a guy, who was right beside you guys just now, has now secretly headed north, if I’m not wrong, he’s rushing to that Tiger Head City where the Northern Mang’s millions of troops are approaching the city.”

“This person, probably just fought with someone else from the north of the western region to the south of the western region, the two of them caught against each other for nearly a month, the whole more than a thousand miles of travel, and he was not able to win, so he did not have the face to see people.”

“His opponent, called Topaz Bodhisattva!”

“I’m not interested in the Liang Mang Great War either, and I don’t have any good feelings about him to Northern Liang, besides, I’m just the pussy in that person’s mouth, going into battle to kill the enemy, it’s never a man’s business, off my Xuan Yuan Qingfeng …… off my ass?!”

“Nearly four thousand people present, men have more than three thousand seven hundred people, except for the fish and dragon gang sixty-two people, there is no more a Beilang person.”

“This year’s Qingming Festival, there’s a place called Qingliang Mountain in Beiliang, and the monument forest behind the mountain, has been engraved with thirty-six thousand eight hundred and seventy-two names. And the Northern Mang barbarians, in Liuzhou, in Liangzhou, and in Youzhou, have died nearly one hundred thousand people!”

Speaking here, she kicked the six heads under her feet off the roof one by one.

“The six devils, I, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, have already slaughtered them, there’s nothing left for you guys. So I’m only asking you guys now, Northern Liang is only two million households, and already more than 30,000 people have died, so how many of us, Liyang, our Central Plains, have died in battle, and how many of us dare to die in battle?”

“If I don’t remember wrongly, my Liyang Dynasty, since the end of the Yonghui reorganization, there are still twelve provinces other than the Northern Liang Province, there are sixty-three states, and more than two hundred and seventy counties.”

“The Northern Mang barbarians are already right on the border with a full million young men, where are my Liyang men?”

Inside and outside the town, dead silence.

The woman on top of the building snorted a laugh that was unusually harsh.

Finally, a clear voice resounded heavily in one of the inns in the town, “Jing’an Road, Qingzhou Hanlin County, Fast Snow Mountain Villa Yuchi Read Spring, here! Willing to go to the border!”

The woman on the top of the building laughed up to the sky, “Strange! It’s actually a woman.”

Then someone at the entrance of the town said aloud, “East Vietnam Road, Wuzhou Zhang Chunlin is willing to die outside the Northern Liang Pass!”

“Jiangnan Road, Peach Blossom County, I am Chen Zhengyong!”

“Huainan Road, Horrified Prefecture, Qi Retreats, is only seeking death!”

“Cai Yongjia of Xiangfan City, Qingzhou, dares to die at the border!”

A voice that was slightly short of breath followed suit, but it was also more generous and mournful, “Jiangnan Road, Yanglu County, Shen Changgeng is here!”

“South Border Road, Bazhou Wenxian County, Xue Tao is here!”

One voice, one after another, stretched on and on, as if there was no end to it.

In the distance to the north of the town, a rider stopped his horse, but he never turned around.

This young man who dared to behead the dragon, the young man who dared to turn and fight with Topaz Bodhisattva for thousands of miles, at this moment, did not even dare to look back.

At the northwestern gateway there was Northern Liang.

Behind it was the Central Plains.

The Northern Liang Iron Horsemen are all over the world.

The spearhead is facing north, and it has been twenty whole years.

Only, not in the eyes of most of the civil officials in Liyang, the real Central Plains, why has there ever been less bravado?

This ride, began to run wildly.
