Chapter 270 – The Sun Is Warming Up Outside the Building
Beiliang pass outside the flat ground up male city, and this has just been officially named the refusal of the north of the new city further south, there are also a few points of flat ground up high building weather, appeared a small-scale market, sparrow but small, all the organs, restaurants and tea restaurants inns pawnshops and gambling houses, there are all kinds of, there are merchants and vendors to look for business, there are scholars far away from the border, there are jianghu people call friends to this tour, some people here to tell a book, and there are also some women to do the not to see the light of the skin business, and there are some women to do the business. There are also some women doing the unseemly business of skin and flesh. About the new city’s name, there is a lot of discussion, the foreigners feel that refused to the north of the city of this statement is not strong enough, as opposed to the original call for a very high kill barbarians to the city to be dry and sharp, so far not yet in the north of Liang as an official in the academy of the scholars, it is generally believed that feel that the capital of the city of the city of view is more appropriate, although a little heavy heavy gas, but probably more than a year to stay in this northwestern, the Romans, go to the cool of scholars are also beginning to cool the people infected with the custom, such as water into a sand pit, it is no longer the same. Like water into a sand pit, it is no longer a hidden mountain clear spring, but like a cloudy wine.
At the beginning of the second year of Xiangfu, the groundbreaking of Rejecting the North City, both in terms of strategic significance and symbolic significance, can be said to be one of the most important things in Northern Liang, and there are rumors that not only is the capital government going to be moved into the new city at the end of the year from Huaiyangguan, but also a certain new Liangzhou Buyei will be constructing an official office here, and will become the “Guanwai Assassin” who will be vested with both the military and political power of Liangzhou. The new city is so important, but the elite border troops stationed around the new city is still the pattern of the north is strict and the south is loose, this can be seen from the market without any ranger patrols, at first the scholar to the Liang was puzzled about this, after the local merchants originally explained that the original fighting outside the pass, but inside the pass is calm and peaceful, the northern Liang has been more than 20 years.
Near midday, the blazing sun, Xu Fengyen walked alone in the marketplace nicknamed Little Sparrow Town, no White Horse Guards around him, not even accompanied by Xu Yan Bing. The residents of the market are mostly outsiders, excluding the people of Liangzhou state capital and Yan Wenluan’s set of Northern Liang elders, in fact, the ordinary people of Northern Liang who are really familiar with the new Liang King’s appearance are actually not many, tens of thousands of Hutou City generals are familiar with it, but unfortunately, together with the main general, Liu Yunu, were all killed in battle. With Xu Fengyen as robe of the Youzhou ten thousand cavalry is also familiar, but the second battle of Hulukou, more than half of the dead and wounded, in addition to the Yu Luan knife, more will not appear here.
At this time Xu Fengyen’s face is a little pale, this is the aftermath of the battle of qintian supervisor, qi jiajie’s sword qi originally after xuan yuan qingfeng “transfer” conditioning, has been suppressed in the three orifices, this is also xu fengyen able to fight with deng tai’a cao changqing soundly in the lower mawei stage pavilion of the premise, now the flood water breaks down the dyke general in the body to roam freely, such as army Crossing the border, the iron riders tread on the ground, Xu Fengnian’s body such as a burst of drums and muffled thunder, if it is replaced by a Taoist saint who specializes in internal vision, I’m afraid that the matter of longevity will be completely despairing.
Xu Fengyen picked a building with a lot of people seated in the restaurant, three times in the jianghu, the first and last two times have been living in the days of catty, know that a penny is hard to die heroes, accustomed to have money in the hands of the heart is not panicked. Weighing the money bag, Xu Fengyen asked for a pot of wine, two bowls of rice and three kinds of dishes, he sat in the window seat, took off the cool knife and put on civilian clothes, just like an ordinary scholar who traveled to the border. The restaurant is not big, but the business is good, more and more diners pouring in, there are people playing up the intention of the table dinner, the store assistant with a difficult face ran to say to Xu Fengyen, Xu Fengyen smiled and nodded and said it’s fine, but asked for two pots of green ants wine has to be calculated according to the price of a pot, store assistant in the heart of the calculation, the business is still profitable, on his own initiative to help the owner of the restaurant agreed to down. With Xu Fengyen table with five people, a woman and four men, four men with very different temperament, hero and scholar, also do not know how to get together a bunch of, hero’s ho, obvious, like one of the thirty-something years of age of the tall man, the scabbard of the sword is made of gold, and the scholar’s aroma of the book, the text towel Confucian shirt not to mention, but also each has a rosewood sprinkled gold folding fan, fan pendant texture are thousands of gold can not buy the strange nan, only Xu Fengyen’s Eye how old, one person heather fan pendant is honey knot a person is the lower grade of iron knot, then two people’s family high and low will be water fall out, obviously the latter is in the swollen face to fill a fat man. A table with four benches, two luxury customers and two scholars sitting side by side on the left and right of Xu Fengnian, only the young and beautiful woman sitting alone opposite Xu Fengnian. People rely on clothing Buddha rely on gold, probably are not dressed plain Xu Fenian as a scallion, speech without fear, the woman is Jiangnan accent, soft and sticky, not much to say, but not attached to the man, two warrior gas is very full of men a Jizhou accent a Liaodong accent, the readers are from the central plains of the Qingzhou and the south-east Jianzhou respectively.
These four men both chat about the situation under the jianghu anecdotes, the words of the Liyang dynasty mixed reputation, think the capital temple on the various government offices in charge of the walk, is a new phenomenon of the Xiangfu new dynasty, but it is a pity that Lu Shengxiang this group of southern military generals do not strive to make the rebels take advantage of the situation in the Guangling Road to sit on the big, but without exception, the entire Liyang dynasty tends to be in full bloom and have no doubt about the national trend of the Liyang dynasty, one to the north of the Liang beat the North Mang, the northwest gateway is as stable as a rock, in addition, Gu Jiantang and the other two are not the same as the men. Rock, and Gu Jiantang’s two Liao border army finally took the initiative to attack, played a series of inspiring victories, before this, the two like to compete with the Northern Liang iron horsemen, Zhao Bing, King of Yanzhi, and Zhao Yi, King of Guangling, under the command of the elite are a big disappointment, good in the great pillar Gu Jiantang in such a time to come forward, so that the dynasty and field of the people as a sigh of relief, the original us Liyang, not in addition to the Northern Liang border army is no one can fight with the The North Mang barbarians are the only ones who can fight with the North Mang barbarians. One of the two Liao and for the Son of Heaven to patrol the border of the Ministry of War Minister Xu Gong, the scholar from the Central Plains “light-hearted” said that his father’s generation and Xu Lang relationship, early years is a fellow student, and later it is a colleague, Longchamp General into the Beijing to go to his office, his father’s generation of several people are in the send-off procession, and so far there are still letters to and from. Hearing this, the woman who had been glancing at Xu Fengnian from time to time, suddenly reared up.
Xu Fengyen eats slowly, but also two bowls of rice and three dishes, and then slowly also have eaten when finished, good at hand there is a pot of green ants wine, so put down the chopsticks, open the jug and pour a cup of wine. In fact, not only his table in the high talk, nine out of ten in the restaurant are in the pointing, eating two or three silver a table of dishes and drinks, manipulating the heart of Tai’an City Palace or Northern Liang Qingliang Mountain Royal House. Xu Fengyen smiled as he listened to the buzzing around him, raised his wine glass and turned his head to look out the window at the great sunny day. I do not know when, the iron knot heather carving Maitreya fan pendant Jianzhou readers, talking about the new Liang King never met, I do not know whether it is drunk, or intentionally in front of the woman in the heart of the amazing speech, words between some of the punch, drink a cup of wine will be snickering: “Who knows that the old Liang King’s eldest son, the early years of His Highness as a very bastard, playboy asshole for ten years, infamous, for the first time, the old Liang King’s son, the old Liang King’s eldest son, the early years of His Highness when very bastard, playboy bastard for ten years, infamous, for the first time, the new Liang King’s son. Years, infamous, the first time to show up, is the old Liang Wang died before letting him participate in that parade outside the Beiliang customs, obviously this is in the hereditary recklessness of Beiliang king to pave the way. Nowadays, Bei Liang city folk are saying that when the new Liang King was concurrently serving as the General of Lingzhou as the World’s Son, he gave that discharged General of Huaihua Zhong Hongwu a hard cleanup, and it was a great success, is that really the case?”
The beautiful woman asked curiously, “Mr. Song, what is the explanation for this?”
The young scholar laughed coldly and said, “It’s just a matter of knocking a tiger from a mountain and tearing down a bridge, in the end, it’s not that the old King of Liang was afraid that his own son couldn’t convince the public, so he secretly authorized Li Gongde, who was in charge of the officialdom in Lingzhou, to punish Zhong Hongwu to make an example out of the monkey? Otherwise, with Xu Fengyen’s status and popularity at that time, would he really dare to provoke the highly respected commander of the Northern Liang cavalry? Who doesn’t know that General Zhong Hongwu has countless students in the border army, not only that, the rich A Beiliang’s Lingshou is laughingly known as the Zhong family’s backyard, Beiliang first forced Zhong Hongwu to leave the border army, and then took down the old army head, and at the same time, then in the reform of Beiliang’s army, it doesn’t touch the border army but only touches the territory’s garrison, all in one go, if you say that it’s not the old king of Beiliang’s layout before he was born, who’s going to believe it?”
The young man who claimed to have a friendship with Squire Xu nodded with a smile and said, “I should say that it is to kill the ‘old’ tiger to warn the fierce tiger, Zhong Hongwu is not in his position, such as a tiger with no teeth, the old Liang King took him to give his eldest son to ‘sacrifice the flag’, it is more than appropriate. The same is the general of the Northern Liang border army, the same is the emperor of the soil of Youzhou Yan Wenluan, because at that time the hands still hold the military power of Youzhou, the old Liang King moved? That His Highness the son of the world dared to move? The truth is that Xu Fengnian did not go to Youzhou at all before he succeeded the throne! Why Lingshu? Because compared to Youzhou, where a general’s fart is more important than a civil official’s words, the civil officials here can compete with the generals’ portals, and with Li Gongde’s official status as a strategy envoy, how can they dare not to die for the Xu family? Accurately speaking, Brother Song’s so-called three things in one go, the real ambush, is Li Gongde this at that time also led the assassin of Lingzhou’s Jingliu Envoy, if I am Zhong Hongwu, should have long been wary.”
Those two heroes said Jianghu said martial arts can boast, can say to this officialdom this temple that is dumbfounded, but listen to the very killing machine ambush look. The two looked at each other and smiled, weak readers in the hands of the pencil, why is not in the hands of the knife?
Song’s readers thought deeply, continued to sneer: “And regardless of Xu Fengnian’s identity of the great master is true or false, let’s just say that the Youzhou 10,000 cavalry appeared outside of Hulukou, and now Beiliang people say that this move has Xu Snapdragon’s style, but nowadays under the sky of the great man, there are people who are really in the battlefield in the front line of the soldiers? Even if there is, it is a valiant general who is the enemy of ten thousand men. Is it really appropriate for him, Xu Fengnian, to act as a vassal king? Doesn’t he know that if he dies outside the pass, there will be no need to defend Northern Liang at all? The old Liang King and his 300,000 iron horsemen have been defending the northwest gate for 20 years, just to let him, Xu Fengnian, go out of his way to add a few words of honor to himself?”
Speaking here, the young reader laughed loudly, “Northern Liang said that Great General Xu Snap never feared the world’s curses, they said that Xu Snap once said that Li Yang’s cursing saliva could fill thousands of vats, and that it would be enough to give him several lifetimes of foot-washing water. Now it seems, Xu Snap is not afraid of scolding may be true, but his son, want to leave a name in the history books, and it must be to leave a beautiful name, it is even more true ah!”
Another that young scholar snapped skilfully opened the folding fan, “New Liang Wang new northern Liang, refused to accept the holy decree of the feat, that has won the hearts of countless northern Liang people, awesome! Just don’t know whether it’s Xu Beihao’s intention or Chen Xiliang’s planning, to me, if it’s not Lingshou Xu Beihao’s vigorously buying food, and Chen Xiliang’s planning in Liushi Qingcang City, even if Beiliang has a border army of 300,000 iron horsemen, it won’t be able to hold back the Northern Mang millions of troops.”
Readers, naturally, are close to readers.
Of course the premise is that there is no direct conflict of fame and fortune between the readers and the readers, otherwise the readers scourge the readers and kill even more.
Xu Fengnian slowly sipped his wine, the meaning of the two young men is very shallow, he can have today, when he became the king of Beiliang, is relying on his father Xu Snapdragon and Li Yishan, and to hold the pass, is relying on Xu Beihao and Chen Xiliang. As for himself, he was just wandering blindly in Beiliang, seeking fame and cheating the people.
Xu Fengnian was actually not half angry, but instead a bit happy.
At least these two foreigner scholars, recognized the fact that two generations of the Xu family had guarded the Northwest.
The swordsman with the gold sheath wearing a sword lowered his voice and carefully said, “Two gentlemen, the walls have ears, I heard that this Northern Liang’s water whisking room spies, that’s a first class ear.”
The Jianzhou scholar surnamed Song laughed and said, “No matter, arresting them is just to prove that Xu Fenian’s temperament is not enough to take up the role of a powerful feudal lord guarding the northwest!”
Xu Fengyen immediately impressed this person, whisking water room spies in this town many, and everyone is a seasoned veteran, this guy came to such a sentence, seemingly unrestrained, in fact, is equal to their own stick a talisman, if that the name of “Xu Fengyen” know about this matter, after hearing the news should also be a laugh to put aside only right! Xu Fengnian said that he would buy a horse for a thousand dollars to buy people’s hearts and give an explanation to the scholars who went to Liang. Xu Fengnian sighed, lowered his head and drank a mouthful of wine, although this table is very jianghu, but he did not have a reason to ring back to the spring god lake, there is a young man who only entered the jianghu on the death of a young man, his name is he cast, and the northern Liang Xu family has a grudge, but in order to repay the kindness of Jia Jia Jia, but still seriously injured to the fast snow mountain manor to report to Xu Fengnian, and finally died in the mountain manor.
A promise of a thousand gold is light in life and death.
Xu Fengnian incomparable respect for such a person, and even deep down, will be this person, this kind of person, placed in the second only to the old yellow and sheepskin fur old man after the position, and even in the peach blossom sword god Deng Tai’a above.
It is not who you are, but what you have done.
Not what you have done, but put yourself in your shoes, as long as you do what I can not do, then I Xu Fengnian will sincerely admire you, if you can be at the same table, for you to pour wine and toast so what?
Back then, when he traveled the Jianghu for the second time, there was a swordsman escort named Lv Qiantang, who cursed at Xu Fenian before he died, saying “Your Highness, the son of the dog.
The meaning is very simple, if you are not the son of Northern Liang, not Xu Snapdragon’s son, not listening to the tide of the Pavilion have wanted the secret scrolls, I will fight for you?
So when Xu Fengyen sprinkled his ashes on the Guangling River according to Lu Qiantang’s last wish, he still felt guilty.
That is why Xu Fengyen always felt that she was a true warrior woman to the warrior woman who was shy to spar with others because of her ample breasts, the woman who was willing to show kindness even when he and Wen Hua were down and out, Xu Fengyen always felt that she was a true warrior woman.
Li Chun Gang’s jianghu is very big, big for a lifetime, so Daxue Ping sword to come, is for the green robe child, Guangling River bank broken armor, is for the former years of that elegance of the world’s crown of the green shirt swordsman, only for the two people have no regrets. Miles before death to borrow the sword, is to personally negate that “the sky does not give birth to my Li Chungang, the sword as long as the night”.
Old Huang’s jianghu is very small, his death at the head of the city of Wudi was for the master Sui Shiaogu, who liked to eat swords, to prove to his master that he had a not bad disciple. More for the young man who made him willing to call him a son, the young man who traveled the Jianghu together, the old man who was uprooted for six thousand miles together, the old man who was missing an incisor and carrying a sword box, before he did not think of Xu Fengyen as His Royal Highness the Prince, but like his own junior.
When Wen Hua folded his sword and left the jianghu, he must have taken Xu Fengyen only as Xu Fengyen, just the fox and dog friend who called him brother and brother and dog-plowed the jianghu together.
Because of these jianghu people in the jianghu, Xu Fengyen would lend his sword to that boy who longed for the jianghu in the Pouring Horse Pass, he would kill for Qingzhu Niang in Beimang in a fit of rage, and he would have no hatred for that devil couple in Duck Head Green.
So when these people gradually disappeared from the jianghu, Xu Fengyen became one of the four great masters of martial arts evaluation, but instead, he was indifferent to the jianghu.
Xu Fengyen always had good intentions towards this world, towards this Jianghu.
Just like the sun outside the building, the peaceful light, everyone thought it was the culprit of the hot summer.
But when it is winter, the sun will not not come because of people’s abhorrence in summer time, but it still makes people feel warm.
