Chapter 271 You Only See What You Don’t See

Xu Fengyen finished the last glass of wine, gently put down the glass, due to the table, with the big wine and meat over there continuously served, his dishes and bowls were squeezed together, looking miserable, the turtledove is no better than this.

As if he was afraid that this eyesore would salivate over his beauty and shyly ask the shopkeeper for an extra pot of wine, so when Xu Fengyen put down his wine glass, the four men all threw not-so-polite glances at him.

Xu Fengyen smiled, and was about to settle the bill wisely and leave.

Because that Xu Beihao who had somehow found his way here was actually standing behind that woman, he had previously refused Xu Fenian’s eye gesture to take a seat, and had already stood for two cups of wine, gloating and laughing whenever he heard those two readers sneering at Xu Fenian.

Xu Fengyen to this own hands from the northern mang abducted to the northern Liang young strategist, in fact, is very guilty, Xu Beihao with Chen Xiliang Xu Chen dispute, in the master Li Yishan in the world on the ambush, for the two pieces of diamond in the rough, Li Yishan also for Xu Fengyen Kam Kam, put forward insights, “Xu Beihao such as a woman of the great valves, even if the middle man’s posture, has its own everyone’s temperament. Need to be carefully carved from the details, get rid of negative pride, can slowly see the heavenly fragrance of the country, gradually into the good.” “Chen Xiliang is like a poor beauty, although extremely beautiful and moving, ultimately lacks the natural richness. Need to give the chi from the big place, open pattern, can be rounded as desired, charming but not demonic.”

So over the years, Xu Fengyen tried to bring Chen Xiliang “on the side”, first let it preside over the Beiliang salt and iron, and later even let Chen Xiliang responsible for the Beiliang local military and political reform, but instead of Xu Beihao threw out, away from Qingliang Mountain, in the Lingshou officialdom slowly climb, until the Liangmang war is imminent, had to rush to take down the Zhonghongwu, Xu Beihao just Fire promotion, now two people trend just reversed, Chen Xiliang far away in the western region flow state, Xu Beihao in Qingliang Mountain Wang Fu, have to say is the creation of a man. From the bright side, Xu Beihao when Lingzhou assassin, is pragmatic frontier officials, now winning the North Liang Road transit, although it is slightly reticent, but like away from the Yang’s state and county officials to the capital as the six ministers, if you can go through another outside the local and back to the central, it is almost a nail in the coffin of the First Minister of the Second Minister. On the contrary, Chen Xiliang, salt, iron, transport, military and political affairs, two failures and a success, the official position has always been high but not low, in the flow of the state of Qingcang City is so far only to do not drive, even Xu Beihao’s Lingshou assassins are low, as if Xu Beihao is far behind, but in fact, within the northern Liang benefited from the reformation of the power of those who have the power of the generals, such as Wang Zhixi Huang Xiaofei Jiao Wuyi’s stream, Chen Xiliang this behind the scenes are more or less reading a love, especially the The battle to defend Qingcang City, more Chen Xiliang pushed to a transcendent position, the Northern Liang officialdom and to Liang scholar, Chen Xiliang’s pen to the military is extremely respected. A temporarily not yet recognized by the court from the second grade transfer ambassador, a popularity and step by step and down to earth Liuzhou Farewell, a “hiding” in the backyard of Beiliang assassin, and then continue to deal with taxes and foodstuffs of the transfer ambassador, a personally heard the hooves of the North Mang, personally seen the North Mang iron armor of the Liuzhou backbone of the civil officials, the two future achievement The future achievements of the two will not be judged by their official rank.

In Xu Fengyen’s heart, Xu Beihao, who has a great talent in the whole situation, is only “snowed in” in Lingshou because of his need for a hereditary replacement, otherwise Xu Beihao should preside over the situation in Youzhou or Liuzhou, and the position of assassin of Yang Guangdou or Hu Kui, one of which should have been handed over to Xu Beihao. Unfortunately, the second Liangmang war is coming soon, Xu Fengyen still needs Xu Beihao to stay away from the battlefield, to win a solid rear for the Northern Liang Border Army. Such a sand field without smoke, the common people are destined to be invisible, and even the Beiliang officialdom will ignore it. Naturally, it was far less colorful and bright than Chen Xiliang who was on the frontline of the border.

As Xu Fengnian got up and called for the store boy, Xu Beihao didn’t know which tendon was wrong, took a few steps forward, smiled and patted the woman’s shoulder, and when she turned her head in dismay, asked, “Dare to ask for your name?”

The two foreigner scholars who had traveled from afar both glared angrily at this denizen, and the magnificent warrior from Liaodong even got up violently, pressed his sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice, “Kid, I advise you to take your dog’s paw off of Miss Lu’s shoulder!”

The four of them only saw that young man resentfully retract his hand, but immediately afterward he raised his hands and heavily high-fived.

Soon there was a Northern Liang martial artist clad in iron armor striding into the restaurant, and the lobby fell silent.

And this military general, at a glance, was not an unusual soldier, maybe guessing that it was a border army captain that was even small.

Xu Beihao is like a very powerful dude, that “dog paw” on the woman’s shoulder, the other finger pointed behind, laughed: “How, do not serve?”

The burly military general with a murderous aura stood behind Xu Beihao, although his aura was amazing, but his eyes were helpless. Damn it, I’m a powerful lieutenant of Lingshu, but I’ve become the kind of dog who helps his own son to bully men and women? The key is that this is also in front of the King of Beiliang!

Xu Fengnian, who was in the process of paying the bill, had a headache, and the shopkeeper hurriedly took the money for the drinks and ran away.

The Liaodong hero immediately loosened the hilt of his sword, and although he did not speak words of bowing down to the man, he was clearly already thinking of putting the matter to rest.

Xu Beihao suddenly turned his head to look at the Jizhou man, took two steps forward, slapped the guy on the head, and cursed: ”Listen to the accent from the Jizhou side? Jizhou, right? I’m almost going to go to your Jizhou to be a strategic ambassador! Fuck you Jizhou ……”

If according to Xu Beihao’s meaning, the Northern Liang Iron Riders will really have to “borrow food” from Hezhou and Jizhou, and will push all the way to the western part of the capital.

This grudge, Xu Fengyen is a thick-skinned great master, Xu Beihao out of gas can not, today is finally caught a chance to make up.

That Jizhou warrior really want to cry without tears, the person who messed with you is not me, I was just busy cleaning up that greasy chicken leg, want to give Miss Lu a pat on the back have missed, simply did not have the time to glare at you ah, you have the right to be angry at me ah.

In addition to the Lingzhou lieutenant, seven or eight armor-clad soldiers soon caught wind of the move, so Xu Beihao’s “bullying” became more and more obvious.

Xu Fengyen got up, walked around the table, held Xu Beihao’s hand and said softly, “Let’s go.”

Xu Beihao waved away Xu Fengyen’s hand and said angrily, “Let’s go! You just know how to back off! When will you part with a single ounce of your vigor against the Northern Mang, the Liyang court wouldn’t dare to let Wen Taiyi and Ma Zhongxian go to Jing’an Road to take over the canal transportation! I, Xu Beihao, was in Lingzhou, given to talk about being an assassin who buys rice, and now that I’m in Qingliang Mountain, I’m a transit ambassador, or a grain-buying official! It doesn’t matter, but we, the Northern Liang Iron Horsemen, do!”

Xu Beihao, who had already accumulated countless grievances, finally became furious and slammed his fist on Xu Fengnian’s chest, “Liyang wants the world to die less, I, Beiliang, promise! But if Liyang wants me to have more deaths in Northern Liang, I, Xu Beihao, will be the first to say no!”

One Wen Taiyi Ma Zhongxian, plus that “I Xu Beihao”.

It wasn’t just the two readers who had just flirted with Beiliang about the transportation of water, who were scared into silence.

The entire restaurant did not dare to breathe a single breath.

Xu Fengnian wanted to speak.

Xu Beihao suddenly looked like a disheartened late old man with a disheartened mood, mocking himself, “I know, you were finally able to make the court not lack a single stone of grain and grass into Beiliang, you, the king of Beiliang, have actually done a very good job.”

Xu Beihuan looked at this young vassal king, “But, I’m not worthy for you!”

Xu Beihuan turned his head violently and shouted at those five people in near fury, “Do you think that all of Beiliang are fools, and everyone of those names on those stone monuments are fools? Just for this son of a bitch contraption called Xu Fengnian, just so generously went to die in battle outside the pass?!”

Xu Beihao, who didn’t drink but looked like he was crazy, looked around, “If I were Xu Fengyen, this stifling son of a bitch, I would have hacked you guys to death a long time ago, you can’t even be considered a son of a bitch! To the south of Guanwai, it’s my Beiliang! Don’t forget, south of Northern Liang, is your Central Plains!”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said to the opening, “Orange, I’m not holding back.”

Xu Beihao looked at this guy in a daze, whispered bitterly, “I’m suffocating.”

Xu Fengyen laughed, picking up a pot of still unopened wine from the wine table, wrapping his arm around Xu Beihuan’s shoulder, “Alright, please drink.”

Xu Fengyen left with Xu Beihuan without saying a word, not forgetting to turn his head to the shopkeeper who was holding the copper coins that should have been paid to Xu Fengyen, but dared not go forward, and joked, “Charge the guests at this table less money for a pot of wine, just to clear the air.”

The powerful lieutenant following behind Xu Beihao as his escort is Wang Zhi, son of the old general Wang Shiqiu of Beiliang, who was responsible for the Micangling Road Lazikou on the border between Lingshou and West Shu after the battle of Jianmen Pass, and is now one of the fourteen powerful lieutenants of Beiliang. Hong Shuwen, who stood out in the Feng Zi Camp, is now serving under Wang Zhi, which shows Wang Zhi’s position in the young vassal king’s heart.

There are some voices that Fushui Room can hear, and Xu Fengnian can hear them as well.

Leaning on the mountain, a mountain, in Beiliang want to become a mountain, you need to push to the position of the head of the army, the least you can do is to get involved with the border army as well as military power. Otherwise, you can do Li Gongde such as the high position of the Secretary, in Beiliang also can not send enough weight of the voice. Before Xu Fengyen took over as the feudal lord, Li Gongde dared to glare at Zhong Hongwu? Not even Zhong Hongwu’s generals dared to do so. And the mountains of Northern Liang, in addition to Yan Wenluan He Zhonghu Chen Yuntui these veritable veteran generals, the rest like Huangfu Ping, Hu Kui also counts, because there is military power in the hand, and the official rank to be half a rank higher Liangzhou assassin Tian Peifang on the other hand, not. Chen Xiliang actually counts, because he has the advantage of being close to the Dragon Elephant Army, and in the battle of Qingcang City, he has a life-and-death relationship with Liuzhou General Kou Jianghuai. But Xu Beihao can not, as he left Lingzhou into the royal family, previously with Xu Beihao good relations Wang Zhi this set of young strong military generals, there will be some thoughts, so this time the northern Liang giants in the refusal of the north of the city of the meeting, Wang Zhi left the mouth of the Lazi north of the customs, in addition to Wang Zhi himself want to advocate for Xu Beihao momentum, how is not the Lingshou general Han Laoshan’s implicit authorization? Why is not the entire Lingshu military system, which has high hopes for Xu Beihao, a “voice”?

Xu Beihao is so, in fact, almost all the border army generals, are so everyone can not help it. Why is Zhou Kang, the left cavalry commander, so adamantly resistant to the division of troops? Is it really the partridge’s own greed for power? Naturally not so simple, Zhou Kang has a lot of support in the local generals family, Zhou Kang often need to consider their interests, as long as the cavalry vice marshal Zhou Kang still want to further in the border army, no doubt need to give those behind the pill, only Xu Fengyen is too strong, in front of all the people in the city head when he was caught by surprise, the partridge had to bow down only. So down the head of the city, the same was divided away from the soldiers and horses of the right cavalry He Zhonghu shouted Zhou Kang drink together, for these actions, Xu Fengyen are in the eyes of the heart, as long as the partridge does not make radical moves, it is also even so, there is no reason to strip people of the right to soldiers, but also not allowed others do not whine a few words.

Nominal Northern Liang border army first Chu Lushan, this time to stay in Huai Yang Pass House, from beginning to end did not show up, why not this villain even his Chu Lushan want to do not do? Instead of futile and annoying people, simply close the door to repair the clean.

The first emperor of Liyang, Zhao Dun, killed Zhang Julu.

Then one day, in case the North Mang is really defeated, will Xu Fengnian also have to make a choice between Xu Beihao Chen Xiliang and some big picture?

In the same way, Xu Beihao Chen Xiliang like to make a choice between the king of Northern Liang and certain ideal dreams?

Maybe not, maybe yes.

This “maybe”, it has been very people do not relax and uncomfortable.

Eating buns of the common people, the bells of the princes and lords, their respective pain and comfort have the pattern of high and low points, but the weight of the pain and comfort, from the size of the difference.

The free rivers and lakes of the gods and goddesses, small places of talent and beauty, the poor countryside of the white head of the old, love may have their own magnificent and gentle points, but the mutual feelings are in fact no more or less different.

Xu Fengyen and Xu Beihao walked up to a wall not too high on the periphery of the marketplace on the wall stacks, Wang Zhi very sensible did not follow.

Xu Fengyen squatted on the small wall, eating the naan he just bought from the vendor, bought two, Xu Beihao did not appreciate it, so he stacked the two together and nibbled on them.

Xu Beihao sat cross-legged, his hands clenched fists propped up on his legs, lost in thought.

Xu Fengnian asked vaguely: ”Orange, why are you suddenly so angry? Aside from me, who else messed with you?”

Xu Beihao slowly said, “This world has messed with me, and you’re spitting on your own nesting virtues, of course I’m not happy.”

Xu Fengyen ate naan eating to the cheeks bulging, turned his head to slander winks and smiled, “In fact, I’m also unhappy, it’s possible that the skin is too thick, you can’t see it.”

Xu Beihao did not turn his head, “If one day, Beiliang defeats Beimang and takes over the world, I won’t go to the Central Plains, I will go back to Beimang.”

Xu Fengnian surprised ah ah, “That would be a real pity, let me tell you, in the past, big sister in order to trick me to go to Jiangnan, always said that the soil and water there is good, raise a street full of delicious girl water spirit little lady, I did not believe it at that time, and then ran to take a look by myself, but it is really alas. If it is not our northern Liang at least have a rouge county women to support the face, I really can not give up the Central Plains Jiangnan. Even if you’re not happy to be a Liyang official, you should go and take a look.”

Xu Beihao looked up at the sun, squinted his eyes and said, “Not going, in this life, from north to south, walking to Beiliang Lingshou is already south enough.”

Xu Fengyen leaned his shoulder against Xu Beihuan, “Tangerine, don’t you have a girl you like in Lingzhou? If there is, and the girl doesn’t agree, I’ll help you grab her.”

Xu Beihuan turned his head to look at this young prince who had no proper form, and solemnly said, “If you become the emperor, don’t let Chen Xiliang become the chief minister, it’s good for both of you.”

Xu Fengnian froze for a moment and laughed, “Don’t worry, I won’t be the emperor.”

Xu Beihao added, “Then don’t let Chen Xiliang be the second Zhang Julu of Liyang either.”

Xu Fengyen patted his chest and said, “If we really win North Mang, without worries, who I want to die and who I don’t, it’s not as difficult as you think.”

Xu Beihao shook his head, “Zhang Julu wanted to die on his own.”

Xu Fengyen fell into deep thought.

Xu Beihuan lamented, “Chen Xiliang, is not suitable for the center of the temple, he only made it as an official to a state assassin, at most, far away from the capital of a line of strategic envoys, probably in order to enjoy his old age peacefully, to be able to have a day with his grandchildren.”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “I will bring the words to you when I have the chance in the future, but as for what Chen Xiliang himself thinks, I won’t stop it, and I guess I can’t stop it either.”

Xu Beihao extended his hand.

Xu Fengnian wondered, “What for?”

Xu Beihuan glared, “Naan!”

Xu Fengyen pulled off half of the remaining naan and handed it to Xu Beihuan.

Xu Beiheng finished the naan in one big bite and wiped his mouth, “Persimmon, I can still take it out on you if I’m not happy, but what about you if you’re not happy?”

Xu Fengnian said without thinking, “Fight the Northern Mang barbarians!”

Seated on the ground, Xu Beihao closed his eyes and clapped his hands on his knees.

Xu Fengnian followed the beat and whistled.

A persimmon, an orange.

Accompanied by the persimmon’s light whistling, the orange suddenly said aloud, “Jun only see, Jun only see Hearing Tide Lake Ten Thousand Carp Jump Dragon Gate!”

Persimmon followed and laughed aloud, “The only thing you don’t see is Qingliang Mountain, the famous stone monuments don’t count!”

“You’ve only seen Hulukou’s head building the capital!”

“I don’t see any dead people’s skeletons under the high wall!”

“You’ve only seen the horses in the north of Liangzhou and the wind in the west.”

“I don’t see the southern border, but the sound of books coming out of a broken hut!”

“You’ve only seen 300,000 iron horsemen!”

“I don’t see the people of Northern Liang, all the families are onyx!”

Many years later, the Northern Liang King’s Mansion on Qingliang Mountain had long since turned into the residence of the Northern Liang Road Secretary.

In the middle of the night, a gray-haired old man leaned on his crutches independently on the windy and snowy night, looking at the end of the street.

The old man surnamed Chen, who was known as the number one border minister of the new dynasty of Liyang, has been guarding this mansion behind him, which was originally surnamed Xu, for forty years.

Forty years.

For this reason, he had also refused to be recruited by the new emperor of Liyang’s ascension to the throne at the end of last fall, refusing to become the chief minister of the new dynasty.

Therefore, he is the same as the “Wenzheng” posthumous name refused to the door.

Liyang dynasty and field all know, this rise in the northern Liang officialdom and then never left the northern Liang step of Jiangnan scholar, before entering the Liang will have a “death when the posthumous Wenzheng” ambition.

He just resigned yesterday.

Now, the dying old man, frosty hair and the wind and snow with the same color.

Just in the blurred vision of the old man thought not to wait for people, a carriage leisurely arrived.

The old man trembled and walked down the steps.

On the carriage stepped down an old man with the same gray hair.

The old man who had come from afar was obviously not as fit as the old man surnamed Chen from that large mansion; surnamed Xu, he was clad in a heavy fur coat and needed the assistance of the carriage driver, who was also surnamed Xu, to walk in front of Lord Chen.

The three of them walked up the steps together and turned to look out at the street where the snow was falling.

Across the center, the most ageless person, Chen Xiliang, who had served as the Beiliang Road’s strategic ambassador for more than thirty years and refused to move, leaned forward slightly, turned his head to look at the other old guy, and laughed softly and hoarsely, “I’ve helped the king guard the Beiliang Road and this Qingliang Mountain for forty years, so you’re not as good as me, are you, Xu Beihao?”

That old man with a thick fur cloak took out all his energy and snorted coldly, “You won …… you won, okay?”

Position in the center of the old man, although the age of similar, but looks to be only forty years of age, he held Chen Xiliang and Xu Beihao’s hands left and right, laughed softly, “Don’t argue.”

The emperor of Liyang changed, the year number changed.

But the three old men, Xu Fenian, Xu Beihao, and Chen Xiliang.

Only this night, they watched a heavy snowfall in Northern Liang.
