Chapter 306: Spring Rain Has Arrived and Autumn Winds Will Rise

The rain is most bitter during the Qingming Festival.

In the drizzle of the Northern Liang stage road, there are constantly large groups of Youzhou cavalry rushing to the Liangzhou Pass, coupled with those who previously galloped to support the Qingcang City of the Liangzhou territory cavalry has not returned to the station, which means that almost all of the main force of the Northern Liang field, especially the cavalry force has surfaced to become the absolute main force of the next Liangmang war, which will be evolved from the city of the war of attack and defense to become an unprecedented large-scale cavalry killing. In the northern nomadic civilization and the intense collision of the central plains farming civilization, a movement and a static, the difference is clear, the former rely on the number of war horses to knock off the advantage of galloping, the latter rely on the city of the bow and crossbow defenses, the history of the countless outside of the plug and close to the edge of the city are submerged in the tide of the cavalry in turn, the sound of the northern horse hooves, the two words of the lonely city and the massacre of the city like a shadow followed. So much so that over the past twenty years, countless civil servants have secretly “dreamed” in the courtroom, thinking that if the two elite cavalry armies of Liyang, the 100,000 or so Northern Liang iron horsemen and the nearly 100,000 border horsemen of the two Liao regions, were able to cooperate and join forces to fight the enemy, and compete with the Northern Mang barbarians on horseback, what kind of majestic and magnificent scenery would it be?

In the Rouge County bordering the two states of Youliang, on a road covered with mud and boots, two riders stopped at a fork in the road to make way for a caravan of merchants and travelers. The young man was dressed in a green shirt, wearing a cool sword at his waist, and his mount was one of the few A-word warhorses in the Youzhou army, while the woman in white was carrying a long, striped cotton traveling bag, and also had a sword hanging from her waist. The young man horse Liang knife, stop the horse to make way, the side of the same age woman is so beautiful like heavenly fairy, this makes the caravan is responsible for opening the way of the head of the guards heart trembling, hurriedly let his men dial horse message to the caravan behind the gang of the arrogance of the guys who are used to the meat speech, don’t be trouble out of the mouth, can’t rely on with the northern Liang border army has some affinity with the unscrupulous, a young man dares to open up the new type of Liang knife of the generals of the species of the private hanging openly A young man who dares to wear the new type of Liang sword openly and privately is by no means something that these second and third-rate characters of the Fish and Dragon Gang can provoke. Probably because of this leader’s prior warning, although the eyes of the merchant guards were hot, but at least no one made a flirtatious remark or whistled at the woman.

The caravan of horses slowly went forward, suddenly there is a horseman turned around and galloped, handsome young rider in the distance from the pair of men and women more than ten paces away from the horse to stop, smile brightly, to the woman in white to let their own shocked by the sky fist smile: “In my fish and dragon gang Chen Jianzhai, dare to ask the girl’s name? Miss don’t worry, I have no ill intentions, I just can’t stand the encouragement of my friends in the gang, they made a bet with me, betting that I would definitely not be able to find out the girl’s name, and if they lost, they would have to treat me to drink half a year’s worth of green ant wine.”

The young handsome man from the Fish Dragon Gang grinned and said understandingly, “If you are not comfortable telling me the name of the girl, you can just tell me any one of them.”

Unfortunately, even if Chen Jianzhai backed down a step, the woman was still indifferent, looking at her own eyes very calm, neither the usual Central Plains girl facing the annoyance of a denizen, nor the Northern Liang girl out of the countryside wanderer’s angry eyes.

In the drizzle, hair slightly wet Chen Jianzhai smile sunny face, did not retreat meaning.

The young man wearing a sword who was deliberately ignored by Chen Jianzhai laughed, “Her name is Jiang Bai Cai Cai, the Bai Cai of Chinese cabbage.”

The stunningly beautiful woman who was addressed as cabbage by her fellow man glared angrily, “Your name is Xu Persimmon, the persimmon of rotten persimmons!”

Chen Jianzhai, who was now a little famous in the Fish Dragon Gang, was a little hurt, thinking to himself that this kind of seemingly rivalry gag between the two of you, in the eyes of a bachelor bachelor dog like me, was really more excessive than flirting ah.

That young man who was scolded as a rotten persimmon smiled and asked, “I heard that your gang leader Liu Nirong is going to give up her position to someone else?”

Chen Jianzhai’s face instantly became a bit grave, finally looking squarely at the guy who dared to hang Pei Liang Dao without authorization. Fish and Dragon Gang Fish and Dragon Gang, the name is really visionary, the degree of fish and dragons mixed, better than all the other nine major clans and gangs in Liyang, gathered nearly 20,000 of the people of the rivers and lakes of the grassroots, so in the number of people in the behemoth, fish and dragon gangs up and down all know very well, if the fish and dragon gangs are not a big man in Northern Liang personally support up the puppets, never to expand to this point today. But the fish and dragon gang those follow the old master together with the fight, have been washed their hands, and after the main person has changed a crop, so about the fish and dragon gang’s insider, a variety of things, there is said to be the former lingshou assassin XuBeiHao the fish and dragon gang of the original no name of the little maid, corrected for the north liang martial arts for the main palace of the lady. There are also said to be the original emperor of Lingzhou, the last general of Huaihua Zhong Hongwu tried to collude with the forces of the jianghu, but the fish dragon gang master Liu Nirong counterattack, climbed up the Qingliang mountain, with the old general’s head to do the surrender. Now even more people privately rumor Liu Nirong is actually wutong courtyard a private pet, the implication is that Liu Nirong is not qualified to preside over the future of 20,000 people, a big gang can be with the government brow to brow, but absolutely can not be married into the high family as a concubine, so the undercurrent of Liu Nirong’s resignation of the gang leader is in this context out of the rumor. He Chen Jianzhai as roughly belongs to the fourth set into the fish and dragon gang’s rising star, for this matter the mood is more complex, deep down, admire the master of Liu Nirong’s hospitality, but the same do not want to fish and dragon gang with the government and the border army too much to do with the relationship between the jianghu is the jianghu, the jianghu people do jianghu, or is it in the second Liangmang war, once the war outside the customs is urgent, they are more than 20,000 fish and dragon gang to go! Guanwai killing fighting for their lives? The head chained to the waistband of the pants to fight for their lives, that is the small gangs do not have land no silver when the thing, now fish dragon gang can be said to have been in the northern Liang deep-rooted, vaguely have the momentum of the clan towns, but also in the territory of Lingzhou away from the border garrison is relatively weak, Chen Jianzhai believe that the fish and dragons mixed with a large fish dragon gang, there will be a lot of people’s minds in the pan.

Chen Jianzai’s long silence, so that the man with a sword laughed it off, did not continue to wait for the patience, turned his head and said to the woman to go, clamped the belly of the horse, the two two riders and Chen Jianzai rubbed shoulders. Chen Jianzai did not stop them from leaving, slowly turned his horse’s head, gazing at the back of the two far away toward the Liangzhou territory.

The two riders were none other than Xu Fengnian and Jiang Nai, who had entered Youzhou from outside the Jibei Pass.

Jiang Nai unobtrusively glanced at Xu Fengyen, the emergence of the Fish Dragon Gang had many versions of secret stories in the Central Plains Jianghu, and she knew that during his trip to North Mang back then, he seemed to have traveled out of the pass with a group of the Fish Dragon Gang.

Guessing what she was thinking, Xu Fengyen laughed: “When I was young, I didn’t have any worries about life and death, and when I was younger, I often listened to my mother’s advice, saying that the women of the world are lovely and pitiful, and that they should be more compassionate. So at that time always feel so good woman, why I do not like. If I can have, why don’t I. I used to like to collect rare ancient Chinese character posters, for example, spent a lot of silver to collect a complete set of four seasons character posters “ten miles of spring breeze stickers”, “rain watering summer stickers”, “high branches of the autumn cicadas stickers” and “fast snow first clearing stickers”, and even the “frost stickers” within the twenty-four seasons stickers, but also only three short of it. At that time, I only cared about liking the women I liked, must like me, and hoped that they were like those famous and lonely character posters, all of them were in my Wutong courtyard, the character posters were able to be stored well, without wind and rain or insects, while the women were able to live without any worries and without any upheaval.”

Jiang Nai tsked, “I see that at that time, when Gu Jiantang wanted to help you become the emperor, he was actually stealing joy in his heart, right? When the emperor, you can rightfully three palaces and six courtyards, courtiers crying out for help to find concubines, and then while saying that this is not proper it while painfully accepting, what the four seasons to post the twenty seasons to post, a hundred posts are less.”

Xu Fengyen rarely did not go toe-to-toe with her, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, seemed to be feeling the coolness of the drizzle, said to himself, “Then I realized that all the women in the world who are worthy of being relatable and lovely, in fact do not have to make a fool out of me at all, can live well, and even if I do not stall me, maybe I can live a better life. Sycamore courtyard outside the world even more chaotic, may not be worse than that no wind and rain on all sides is the wall of the small courtyard. How can women be the word post of those dead things? And how can they be bound to the Wutong courtyard or Qingliang Mountain. Listen to the tide of the lake is big, but the river lake is bigger ah. I also very later realized that if you can start over, probably still in the heart like them, but certainly will not go to tease them again. For example, Xuanyuan Qingfeng of Da Xue Ping is living a very free life, and Yu Youwei is working as Mr. Jixiang in Shangyin Palace of Learning, so I think she is also very comfortable. But there are some people that I don’t regret, like receiving Chen Yu to Northern Liang and rescuing Zhao Fengya out of Tai’an City, I don’t have crooked thoughts about them, I just simply want them to live for themselves.”

Jiang Nai huffed, “The reasoning is all yours anyway, but I know that I just can’t say it!”

Xu Fengnian hurriedly and wisely changed the topic, lamenting, “If your uncle Chess Waiting for the Emperor had been able to hold hands in the Da Chu army earlier back then, instead of living in a remote location on the south side of the Guangling River, my father might not have been able to win the Battle of the Western Bastion Wall. At that time, both sides were actually fighting over whose last breath was gone first, and if Cao Changqing had succeeded Ye Baigui in raising the flag, the breath of Da Chu would still be there. This time, I was able to talk to Wang Sui, and finally succeeded in linking the two Liao, Jibei, Beiliang and the western region of this long border defense line of Liyang, my master, and Cao Changqing, plus you, the three of you deserve a lot of credit. Under this general trend, King Zhao Suo of Jiaodong, Cai Nan of the Two Huai Sectors, Han Lin of the Secretary of Strategy, and Han Fang of the Vice General of Jizhou will also become indispensable and important figures, and of course there are also Yu Luan Dagger, Kou Jianghuai, and Xie Xiyuan, as well as Xu Huang and other outsiders from Beiliang. As for the 20,000-man Fish Dragon Gang, it may have to play a role in the future as well, except that if that big battle is fought to the point where the Fish Dragon Gang is needed to rush to the battlefield after the young and strong of Liuju, it will mean that both sides of Liang and Mang have already suffered a great deal of vitality.”

Jiang Nai couldn’t be bothered to mourn the death of Chess Waiting Uncle, and worriedly said, “There are really a lot of Northern Mang barbarians, Munchkin.”

Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded, “It’s a lot, but it’s not like I don’t have a backhand on the North Mang side. Just wait, as long as Beimang doesn’t have the means to break through Reject North City in one fell swoop, I’ll be able to set their backyard on fire.”

As a result, Jiang Nai came with a bullheaded, “That Chen Yu, pretty?”

Xu Fengyen bared his teeth, pretending to be stupid, just not opening his mouth to answer this question, some words, opening his mouth is wrong, saying more is more wrong.

Jiang Nai seemed to be talking to himself, “This rouge rated great beauty who was hidden in the golden house, just how beautiful is it? I must admire it when I have the chance, alas, I’m afraid I’ll be ashamed of myself when the time comes.”

Xu Feng Nian suddenly turned his head and said, “Although I know that this request is excessive, and you will definitely be unhappy when you hear it, but I’m still going to say it out loud, that is, if one day I’m no longer around, you take them with you and leave Beiliang, the farther away the better.”

Jiang Nai was filled with anger and said bluntly, “Can’t be done!”

This answer was completely within Xu Fengyen’s expectations, so he did not look any different.

Xu Fengyen pinched his somewhat stubbled chin and laughed to himself, “The thought that if I die in battle, I will never see you guys again, the moment and the crotch are both very melancholic ah.”

After teasing, Xu Fengyen’s eyes gradually gazed up.

Wherever there is a place of jingoism, there is bound to be a place of standing corpses.

Once this year’s spring is over, there will be at most one more fairly peaceful summer, and when the autumn winds pick up, outside the Liangzhou Pass and the entire Liuzhou, I’m afraid that people will die so much that it will be too late for people to collect their corpses.

Among the four great masters of martial arts, excluding the unattached Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a, there is Cao Changqing in Western Chu, Tuoba Bodhisattva in Northern Mang, and Xu Fengnian in Northern Liang.

The latter three all belonged to those who would surely die when they lost the big battle.

Right at this moment, Xu Fengyen heard Little Mudman say a phrase that he did not expect even if he broke his head.

Her words were not too auspicious, but her tone was resolute.

“If there really is that day, then wherever your Xu Fenian’s corpse is, I will stand!”
