Chapter 258: After the matter whisks the clothes (I)

Xiangfu two years of late fall of this day, destined to evolve countless strange and bizarre sayings, qin tianjian side of the sun and moon rise, the sound of the Buddha curls, several times a long rainbow hangs in the air, immortals hanging in the air. And the capital of the southern army camp, is also a horrifying scene, the two land fairy general ten thousand enemies, figure as fast as the dragon into the sea, the two sides killing process, the whole camp torn to pieces, where they passed, like a bamboo, especially the new Secretary of the Ministry of War General Wu Chongxuan’s lineage of soldiers and horses suffered the most serious, more than a thousand dead and wounded. The so-called “not suited to the soil”, but also is not well, like Wu Shangshu these elite under the command of the loss of arms and legs, and even the life is gone, rare. The key is that almost no one recognized the real identity of those two silhouettes, and this is what made the Gyeonggi South Army feel so helpless.

And the culprit Xu Fengyen walked down the altar of the Jikji, the Li family armor in the Li Shou Guo and Li Changliang father and son led, swore to defend the gate entrance, put out to walk out from more than 1,000 corpses of the decisive posture, but in fact, outside the gate on the street more than half of the heavy cavalry army, has been in the Andong general Ma Zhongxian almost crazy fast horse after the transmission of a secret order, quietly withdraw from the street, but in order not to disturb the inner and outer city But in order not to disturb the people of the capital, not to cause greater panic, this has not been put into the two Liao sand field will be greatly wounded cavalry, and did not immediately out of the city to the resident. Ma Zhongxian was in a hurry to leave his father’s couch in the residence of the General of the North, not even in time to put on the official robe of the military ministers, not to mention the iron armor, the Andong general of distinguished origin turned his head to look at the remnants of this sad atmosphere enveloped in the heart of the heart is dripping blood.

Especially the incomparably well-versed in the capital officialdom of Ma Zhongxian know, wait until the family bad news spread out of the residence, spread to the temple and the city, and soon the Tai’an City dynasty and field will say that his father sooner or later, precisely in the north of the King of Liang made a mess of the Ministry of Ceremony and the Chintian Supervisory Commission when the last breath, was scared out of his wits, is the surname of the young man Xu alive and scared to death!

In a large piece of iron armor clanging in the unorthodox Ma Zhongxian clenched fists, eyes red, hate to turn the horse’s head with a command, the surname Xu chopped into mush!

A cloth-clothed old man passed through the Li family armor’s “weak” infantry formation, Li Shouguo wanted to speak out to remind, the old man smiled and waved his hand, and walked straight to the King of Beilang, who stopped at the edge of the altar of the gods of earth and grain, the old man didn’t stand in front of the young man, the two men were side by side, but one was facing the north and the other was facing the south.

Xu Fengnian said blandly, “Originally I thought it was Tantan Weng of the Gate Province who came here to be a lobbyist, but I didn’t realize that it was the Lord of the Central Book Order who came here to sing the white face.”

Qi Yanglong, the chief official of the Zhongshu Province, looked up at the high altar and said with a smile, “It’s a pity that the Qin Tian Supervisor was destroyed just like that.”

Xu Fengnian said, “Bei Liang died more than 100,000 people outside the Pass, people died facing north, it’s not a pity?”

Qi Yanglong nodded and said in a deep voice, “In my opinion, it’s all a pity. The Chinatrust is ruined, I, as a scholar who likes to read history, find it a pity. The Northern Liang generals died in battle by hundreds of thousands, as a citizen of Liyang, I find it a pity, and honorable. It’s just that now that I’ve gone to the capital to ask the court for a robe to put on, I’m compelled to come here to nag Your Highness.”

Xu Fengyen’s sword-wielding left hand was disheveled because his shoulder was pierced by that long rope, his arm sagging, blood continuously flowing out of the sleeve tube and dripping along his fingers onto the ground. The face because of the manic qi in the body, a moment pale bloodless, a moment into a purple-gold glitter, as for the crack in the center of the eyebrow, blood sliding down the bridge of the nose, but also for the young feudal king’s handsome face added a few points of heavy hostility.

This young man who had caused the entire capital to be shaken twice in one person said expressionlessly, ”Three thousand people, for every death, I will deduct a thousand stone of grain and grass from my Bei Liang’s grain transportation, it was Zhao Zhuan himself who said that. Then I might as well directly tell Lord Zhongshu Ling now as well, three million stones of grain transportation, if you dare to undercut me by one stone, there will be 30,000 Northern Liang iron horsemen going south into Guangling! Anyway, it’s only right for a feudal lord to pacify a disaster, if your court doesn’t care about the deaths and lives of the people of Northern Liang, I, Xu Fengyen, am very good at talking, and I don’t mind letting you, Liyang, understand what it means to be ‘loyal to the core’!”

After Qi Yang Long heard these sharp words, he didn’t pretend to be angry, his smile didn’t diminish, “Beiliang King, to be honest, I Qi Yang Long, no matter where my ancestry is, I have always regarded myself as home when I was in the Shang Yin Academy within the Guangling Road, Yang Shen Xing and Yan Zhen Chun have already tortured my family’s land once, that son of a bitch Song Kasa and Kou Jianghuai tortured it once more, and it’s going to be Wu Chongxuan and Lu Shengxiang’s turn to do the same. Wu Chongxuan and Lu Shengxiang, these so-called famous generals, to say that they can be a quick battle is just a matter of time, no matter who wins or loses, as long as the split is a good thing for the people of Guangling Road, I’m afraid of such a stalemate, put together all of the young and strong to put together the veterans, okay, in case of putting together all of the soldiers, is not to take the lives of the people to fill up the pit? Isn’t that right, King of Northern Liang?”

Xu Fengnian was silent.

Qi Yanglong is not like a central minister, but like a bad old man with a belly full of grievances, it’s not easy to catch a young student who can pour out his heart, then he can’t shut the box completely, “Cao Changqing has a knot in his heart, he can’t cross his own threshold, Duke Diffractive Sage couldn’t persuade him, of course I’m not happy to waste my breath, as for those who help the court to lead the army to war, I, the The Secretary said more immovable, and the world’s martial arts in the sand to build a career, horse leather or, Marquis worship will also be, each according to their ability, each peace of God only, are their reasoning, I can not be because I say that their own compassion for the world’s living, go to them to talk about, say something to them to put down the butcher’s knife of the empty words of the big talk, take a step back to say that, to persuade the Lu Rising Elephant Wu Heavy Xuan, surely there will also be a horse Rising Elephant Song Heavy Xuan After all, I ah, after all, can’t stop the world’s momentum.”

Qi Yanglong suddenly turned his head and gazed at the bloodied young man from close range, “But I think it works to talk to you. I can’t help it, you are the son of Xu Snapdragon, that guy Xu Snapdragon has always been very reasonable, otherwise in order to let Wei Xiong that little girl enter the academy, can give my family to use gold and silver to smash a lake embankment of more than ten miles long? Before I entered the capital, I had to walk it every morning and evening, rain or shine! I don’t know if Xu Snapdragon has told you, when he led his troops to the jianghu, he passed by the Shangyin Palace from Longhu Mountain, had a private visit, blocked me in the house as an old man, took off the cool knife …… Well, if not mistaken, probably this is the one that you are hanging now, and slammed it to my desktop, asked me The name ‘Xu Fengnian’ is good, of course, I thumbs up said yes, is really quite good. Then your father immediately and happy, said I Qi Yanglong really is a scholar with university knowledge, but also twisted his head and your mother asked the four words ‘full of tactics’ for me, I am very happy, of course, not this is not the level of horse’s fart, but to the end of the day, your father did not take a knife to cut me.”

Xu Fengnian raised his right hand and wiped his face.

Qi Yanglong continued to look at the far-reaching symbol of the altar of the Gods of Jigong, “You surely can’t even imagine that lake embankment, how much silver did Beiliang send, a long embankment is even longer, the manpower and material resources of the Shangyin Palace of Literature and Forestry are all placed there, and a few silver is needed? But your father to cover up how much sent, know, is a whole three million taels of silver! So on the Yin Palace is not only more willows of the lake embankment, but also in the following five years, sneak out more than a building of the top of Jiangnan’s library, no less than two hundred sets of Feng version of the books. In addition to that dial can be piled up into a mountain of silver, in fact, there is a light letter to my hands, those words really I have seen the most ugly, but so more than a decade, I often take out when I have nothing to do to look at, the letter said, his eldest son, is certainly a piece of reading material, later to come on the yin school palace to study, perhaps later to his old Xu family to get a scholar, it is really shining family, if the son of a vassal king shall not be allowed to be a scholar, the son of a vassal king shall not be allowed to be a scholar, the son of a vassal king shall not be allowed to be a scholar, but the son of a vassal king shall not be allowed to be a scholar. If the son of the feudal king shall not be an official for a term, then the examination of the scholar as a decoration is not bad …… first read the letter, I would like to write back to ask him, you a kill countless reading seeds of martial arts, ate his fill to let his son be a man of letters? Your Xu family in your generation is a great person, the great pillar state and hereditary recklessness are in the hands, really lack of a scholar title? I’d like to ask him, what’s three million taels of silver? How many people died in the eight countries and how many scholars died? This silver can compensate for the broken mountains and rivers in the Central Plains land sinking? You’re a human butcher, you don’t want your son to be a feudal lord, what’s the matter with you?”

“Then read that letter again, for a long time, the letter paper is getting more and more wrinkled, but my heart is getting more and more flat.”

“During this period, heard in the old emperor’s death, you kid dared to sing and dance in Qingliang Mountain, full of city visible full of smoke and fire, can be heard full of mountain playing music, and then you gave thrown out of the king’s gate, which led to three years of traveling. At that time I knew that Northern Liang would not be peaceful. I had hoped that you could squeeze out Chen Zhi Bao while succeeding in hereditary reckoning as the Queen of Beiliang, but you were willing to be a peaceful vassal king, willing to let a certain great general of Liyang enter Beiliang, then Beiliang is Liyang’s Beiliang, the people of Beiliang are Liyang’s people, half of the country’s taxes go into the two Liao’s, and half of the country’s waterways go into Beiliang, and the world is greatly settled!”

Hearing this, Xu Fengyen pulled the corner of his mouth.

The old man smiled to himself, “This is certainly the wishful thinking of a pedantic scholar.”

The old man finally turned around, and together with Xu Fengyen, remotely faced the densely arrayed Li Clan armored soldiers, and asked with a smile, “How do these Liyang elites compare to your Northern Liang Border Army’s iron cavalry?”

Xu Fenian asked in return, “Do you really want to know the answer?”

The old man waited quietly for the following.

Xu Fengnian gave his answer, “Ten against ten, 50-50, hundred against hundred, I, Beiliang, will surely win, thousand against thousand, you will lose miserably, ten thousand against ten thousand, then there is no need to fight, right?”

The old man smiled and said, “Really?”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “I just read more than Xu Snapdragon and have a good temper.”

The old man nodded: “Yes yes yes, so today first went to the Ministry of Ceremonies to teach the two ministers of the Lord, and then single-handedly came here, even the face of the Empress Dowager did not give, in this Qin Tianjian inside and outside the killing spree, the heavenly immortals were given to the slaughter of a large gang, the king is really good-tempered.”

Xu Fengyen said in a bad mood, “Just set up a friendship, and then start leaning on the old, really think I don’t have a bit of energy left to go back to Lower Mawei?”

The old man laughed out loud, “Alright, it’s almost time to bring out Xu Snapdragon to get close to you, Your Highness, if I continue to talk more, I won’t be able to hang on to this old face myself. You Xu Fengyen can fight, the Northern Liang iron horsemen can fight, I also do not hide the mystery, to reveal the old bottom to you, whether it is the death of a person less than 1,000 stone of the threat, or three million stone of the transport of waterways of the grandeur, but all are the young son of God’s whims, I do not dare to be serious about the Secretary of the Central Bureau of the King, and also hope that the King do not take it seriously, but I dare to guarantee that, from the end of the fall of this year to the end of the next year’s summer, the Liyang and especially the city of Tai’an, even if it tightens the waistband of the pants will be given to the Northern Liang. waistband of pants will also send one million stones of canal transportation to Northern Liang, and if possible, another half a million stones, after this, there are only four words, do your best!”

Xu Fengnian frowned.

The old man lamented, “Let’s take it as it comes, both sides have a step down. Being in the temple, from the sesame and green bean sized officials, to the yellow and purple ministers, to those who wear python robes or even dragon robes, there has never been a fastidious person.”

Without waiting for Xu Fenian to speak, the old man sighed, “I don’t know if it’s an illusion, although there are more and more young faces in the imperial court nowadays, I’m in the middle of it, but I always have a feeling of twilight, maybe …… maybe after the white clothed monk Li Dangxin’s calendars were rejected, Zhang Julu also had my kind of Sadness, right.”

The old man turned his head to look at the heavily injured young man without turning his eyes, “Beiye’er that book of poems that may never be circulated, he said that there are two big fast things in life and one hated thing, in the jianghu, the desperate place of chivalry, is a fast thing! On the battlefield, it is a great pleasure to still carry a sword in the place of death! Every time in the books read to the historians like to pass over the ‘white bones’, ‘life and death’, is a great hatred!”

The old man smiled, “It’s a pity that this Bieye’er died early, not knowing that on that map of the Liyang Dynasty’s geomancy that he didn’t know how many times he had looked at it, there was a place where the names of the hundreds of thousands of dead people, one by one, were engraved on the stone monuments. The green history that generations of readers go through is no longer just the names of the successful kings and the defeated.”

“Earlier there was a guy, said he had seen you, and showed off in front of me, in fact, if I were not this time the king’s order is difficult to disobey, I would not have run to take the heat, to see you Xu Fengyen what is good to see? I’m a bad old man, not one of those marvelous young ladies who are pining for the young warrior.”

“Hey, when I was young, I might have been even more handsome than you.”

Xu Fenian said, “Then it’s settled.”

The old man got an inch and asked, “Then when will the king leave the capital?”

Xu Fengnian walked forward, “The day after tomorrow.”

The old man looked at the back and asked with a smile, “Not today, can you do it tomorrow? There’s not much to see in Tai’an City.”

Xu Fengyen stopped walking, turned his head and said with a smile on his face, “Tomorrow? Yes, Mr. Zhongshu Ling wants to see the stone monument? Then this king will personally take you along.”

The old man’s smile stiffened, “The day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow! Early in the morning then, I’ll personally go knock on the door of the Lower Mawei Stage House!”

Xu Fengyen ignored this rogue old man and walked towards the gate of the Qin Tian Supervisor.

Behind him, the old man raised his hands and waved them to the sides, and the Li Family armorers quickly scattered left and right, leaving a spacious path.

Suddenly, the old man quickly followed Xu Fenian with a few arrow steps and pulled Xu Fenian’s right hand, refusing to let go.

Xu Fengyen turned his head to look at this old man whose expression suddenly became solemn.

The old man lowered his voice and said, “Xu Fengyen, must make this world, less death!”

Xu Fengyen wanted to turn around and walk away.

The old man did not know where the strength came from and clutched Xu Fenian’s hand with a red face.

Xu Fengyen could have waved his sleeve slightly to break free, but for some reason, Xu Fengyen sighed softly, nodded, and helplessly said, “Need to say?”

Only then did the old man unhappily let go of his hand.

After walking out a few steps, Xu Fengyen heard that old man whisper, “If we don’t do this, it doesn’t show my Qi Yang Long’s attitude of saving the living.”

The corner of Xu Fenian’s mouth twitched as he raised his right arm and extended his thumb before pointing downwards.

Looking at the young man’s back.

The old man added, “Well, there are a few moments of my youth.”

Probably because he felt that he was too far away for the young feudal king to hear his mutterings, so when that Bei Liang king suddenly turned his head, the old man turned his back in a swift motion, put his hands behind his back, and quickly walked up to the altar of the gods of the earth and grain as if he was in a hurry to browse the scenery there.

An old man and a young man, walking with their backs facing each other.

The old man collected his face and said in his heart: “Biyaner, if you were alive, would you have gritted your teeth and not banned one stone of waterway, or would you have argued to open all the waterways? No matter what, I am inferior to you.”

The old man stood at the top of the altar of the gods of society and saw those solid loose soil and slowly squatted down.

Xu Snap, Zhang Julu.

You two fought for half your lives in life, and when you die and go underground, you’ll actually drink together, right?

At the gate of the Qin Tian Supervisor, there was a huh girl, holding a scallion pancake in one hand and nibbling it, rubbing her sable hat with one hand.

Xu Fengnian walked over and bent down, helping her to hold her sable hat.

Then a large red dress like a butterfly fluttered and arrived in front of Xu Fengyen, ethereal spinning.

Xu Fengyen waited for her to stop before nodding his head and smiling softly, “Still looks good.”

Xu Fengyen picked up one person with one hand, “Go back to the post house first, and go home together the day after tomorrow.”

Xu Yan Bing had already returned to the carriage next to the entrance of the Qin Tian Supervisor at some point, and had already placed the shako gun.

Xu Fenian wiped the blood that had just seeped out from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and laughed, “Back so soon? This gun, it’s really fast.”

Xu Yan Bing who was puzzled for a while gave a hmmm, and waited until the young Vassal King sat in the carriage, and the carriage drove out a large distance, finally returning to his senses, Xu Yan Bing laughed and cursed, “Damn, cursing people without a dirty word!”

After laughing, Xu Yan Bing looked into the distance, somewhat lost in thought.

Wearing a sable hat of the young girl and wearing a backdrop hat of the vermillion-robed woman, for some reason did not sit in the carriages.

Inside the carriage.

That blood-soaked young man took off his cool sword, cupped the Vassal King’s python robe in both hands, and buried his head in it.

The shoulders trembled.

No expression was seen.

No cries were heard.
