Chapter 324 – A rod of plum wine, white clothes back to Northern Liang
Xu Fengyen suddenly stood up, Chu Lushan only realized something was wrong a little later, Xu Fengyen softly said, “It’s fine, don’t worry, even if it’s the worst result of tearing my face off, I can still cope with it at the moment.”
A delicate figure suddenly swept into the courtyard, the woman bodhisattva born of green silk, it is the Rotten Mountain six beads on the master, when the woman who pulled Xiangfan City 100,000 lonely souls out of the city immortal master.
Only at this time the scene is a bit shocking, this western region master’s robe bloodstained, pale face, after seeing Xu Fengyen and Chu Lushan, sadly said: “There is a guy called seed sandalwood with the North Mang emperor’s imperial decree to ascend to the Rotten Mountain, under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, I can escape, or the two masters spelled out the result of their lives. I believe that soon there will be a decree issued to those thousands of monks and soldiers in Liuzhou to return to Ruoduo Mountain, Xu Fengyen, prepare yourself earlier, even if your Liuzhou succeeds in forcibly retaining the monks and soldiers, I’m afraid that you will only be left with a hidden danger.”
Xu Fenian and Chu Lushan glanced at each other, their moods were both a bit gloomy, the victory brought by Dragon’s Eye Child Plains was returned so quickly at Rotten Mountain in the Western Region. Rottoshan total of 20,000 monks forces, although not the kind of Liang Mang war can be called a hammer in the existence of, but this one to and fro, is almost 40,000 people difference, the original strength of the North Mang can withstand the Rottoshan fell to the North Rang, not to mention out of thin air more than 20,000 people to hold down the ballad of the two towns of Fenghuang, but more importantly with the Huang Song Pu army a left and a right, on the flow of the state is enough to form a pincer force on the strength of this The absolute disadvantage of Northern Liang is like adding frost to snow.
Xu Fengyen stood up and asked: ”What is the general process? How did Seedan convince the dozens of monks at Rottoria Mountain with just an imperial decree from Beimang? Even if there was an insider, Rotten Mountain should have continued to sway and wait and see for some time.”
Sixth Pearl Bodhisattva covered his heart, “That holy decree not only named several masters as the state masters of North Mang, but also promised that North Mang would regard the inheritance of Mount Rotor as the foundation of the country, and would help Mount Rotor to promote Buddhism, and be equal with Daode Sect, and in the future, we will share the power of Buddhism in the Central Plains. At the same time, seed sandalwood alone on Mount Rotor, but to know the foot of the mountain, but there are 10,000 North Mang cavalry attacked, agreed to, the guests and masters happy, do not agree to, in the seed sandalwood that madman died, both sides of the jade and stone burned together. Xu Fengyen, do you think Rotten Mountain will agree or not? I originally wanted to kill Seed Tan to end the retreat, but I did not expect that the two monks who had long ago become the inner circle of the North Mang had spelled out their lives to block it down, and now still tends to be the Rotten Mountain monks of the North Liang ……”
She smiled miserably and pointed at herself, “I’m the only one left.”
Xu Fengyen pondered for a moment, first letting this Six Jeweled Bodhisattva who had fled for thousands of miles recuperate at ease, then turned his head to Chu Lushan and said, “Lin Rhythm City Herdsman Cai Anshan and Liuzhou Vice General Ma Liuke, whose residence is located in the Fengxiang military town, can’t be trusted to be appointed, the two of them aren’t characters of small wealth, use the six hundred mile expedited stagecoach to give the Liuzhou Assassin’s residence a secret letter to let Xie Xiyan take over the position of Cai Anshan. The first hand of the Lin Rhythm military town, although Ma Liu Ke has been hollowed out, but in the old part of the prestige is still there, so that Qing Cang City to send troops to this person ‘escort’ to our Liangzhou Qingyuan military town. At the same time give Xie Xijian Kou Jianghuai two people the right to act cheaply in the Western Region and Liuzhou respectively!”
Chu Lushan nodded, “In addition to that, only Yu Luan Blade’s 10,000 Yu Cavalry rushing to Liuzhou is already not enough, even with Ning Emei’s supplemented 4,000 Iron Floaters, I’m afraid we have to let Shi Fu, the new Liangzhou General, step in.”
Xu Fengnian was a bit helpless, “In this case, Xie Xijian’s suggestion will have to temporarily become a major strategy for our Northern Liang.”
Chu Lushan laughed, “Fighting in the sand is not a scholar’s examination, temporary clutches are often of great use.”
Six pearls Bodhisattva did not hurry to leave the small courtyard, listening to the two did not deliberately cover up the words, still like listening to heavenly books in general.
Xu Fengyen asked Chu Lushan to take Sixth Jewel Bodhisattva to find a secluded place to recuperate, and stayed in the small courtyard alone.
Then an all too familiar white robe appeared at the door.
Surprisingly, it is the face of the white fox child who went and returned, hands pressed on the left and right waist above the embroidered winter spring thunder, the face is indifferent, but that kind of invisible qi like an enemy, divulged undoubtedly.
This eighteen stops after the body before no heavenly person martial arts master, can let this person so solemn and cautious treatment, naturally is not the relationship is still quite good Xu Fengyen.
Xu Fengyen took a deep breath, turned around, and saw a slender back figure, standing beside that coffin, silent.
That man who was dressed in white like White Fox’s face was seemingly casually carrying two cloth pouches of different sizes, one hiding the barrel of the gun and the other hiding the head of the gun.
The name of the gun was Plum Wine.
The man in white reached out and covered the coffin, as if talking to himself, “Qi Dangguo, before leading the troops to go out to war, once wrote me a letter, saying that in the future, in case he died in battle, let me take the time to return to Beiliang to see, in the letter he also foolishly hoped that I would be able to play for Beiliang, saying that as a brother, there is no threshold to step over. After I received the letter, I knew that Qi Dangguo’s ‘just in case’, nine times out of ten would come true, so I made an exception and came back here, just thinking that I could make him not really die. I didn’t expect you, Xu Fengnian, to bide your time for so many years, it’s not easy for you to finally practice martial arts and become a Martial Assessment Grand Master, but you’re still half useless, you couldn’t even save a single person on the battlefield.”
Whether it is in that spring and autumn battle in the Xu family army, or in serving as a capital protector for more than ten years in the North Liang Road, or in the Western Sichuan Road where the king was sealed as a vassal, the always silent white man, today unprecedentedly said a lot of words.
White fox child face both hands thumbs respectively embroidered winter spring thunder push knife out of the sheath more than inches.
Xu Fengnian stood in the doorway between the two white clothes.
At the same time, the Six Pearl Bodhisattvas also stood outside the courtyard, and the entire Huaiyang Pass began to smell the wind, and the iron armor clanked and resounded through the streets of all sizes.
Chen Zhi Bao, who had returned to Beiliang carrying plum wine, turned around and asked bluntly, “Who killed Qi Dangguo?”
Xu Fengnian replied, “Hong Jingyan.”
Chen Zhi Bao asked rhetorically, “Did Tuoba Bodhisattva make a move against Qi Dangguo?”
Xu Fengnian did not continue to answer.
Between him and this white-clothed soldier saint who had returned to the Liyang court, he could not actually say anything, as was the case when the white-clothed sent off His Royal Highness the Shizi to leave Liangzhou, and as was the case the last time they were reunited in a battle on the Guangling River.
Under the black pressure of a large swath of iron armor embraced Chu Lu Shan alone strides into the small courtyard, walked to Xu Feng Nian side, threw the jug of wine in his hand high, did not have the good sense to say: “Surname Chen, less here to talk about the sarcasm, to the old Qi has sacrificed the wine, to the old man to hurry to get out of the way!”
Chen Zhi Bao raised his hand to catch the jug of green ant wine, squatted down in front of the coffin, opened the jug and slowly poured the wine on the ground.
Who do not know, noble and conceited as Chen Zhi Bao, this life is really regarded as friends and brothers, not the same as Xu Snapdragon’s son and the reputation of the Yuan Zuozong, not the treacherous but talented Chu Lushan, and not the current general of Liangzhou Shi Fu, who was once extremely high praise of him.
But this lying in the coffin of Qi Dangguo, a man in the North Liang in Liyang in the North Mang are not well-known.
Previously in Beiliang, Chen Zhi Bao only that far away in the yellow sand desert outside the Guanwai remote mansion, but also only Qi Dangguo many times to visit, the two people never talk to each other happy scene, just silent drinking, Qi Dangguo is a pot of pots of booze, has always been dislike of alcohol Chen Zhi Bao accompanied by a few small cups of wine. Every time Chen Zhi Bao returned to Liangzhou state capital, almost never live in the Qingliang Mountain royal residence, will be borrowed to live in Qi Dangguo’s mansion, even if Yao Jian Ye Xizhen two people kindly invited, but also can not do this. White Feather Light Cavalry old master Wei Fu Cheng and Iron Pontoon last commander Dian Xiong Animal can not figure out, can not figure out why they are pleased to sincerely worship General Chen, will be happy to deal with a only know how to charge the small folding Lieutenant, even in the Qi family house when drinking in private, General Chen was the big old man through the intention to “teach” a few words, but also not angry, but only showed a few words, but also a few words. Not angry, but only show a few helpless smile, the two follow the white soldier saint out of the cool to Shu’s direct line of generals, so many years has been clearly remembered a New Year’s morning, borrowed to live in the Qi family of General Chen early in the morning was Qi Dangguo shouted up, had to pull together to go to the posting of Spring Festival couplets and fortune, General Chen had to follow the size of the courtyard ran once again, the Weifucheng and Dianxiong animal gas almost on the spot to be with the eyesight of the force In their opinion, General Chen’s willingness to stay in your Qi family is already a great honor, but how dare he step out of line, this is not looking for a cut? But somehow, in the face of every posting of a couplet a blessed word to be tirelessly read a good Qi Dangguo, General Chen has not been half a bit different, only in the posting of crooked time to remind a, and then think through the head also did not understand Dianxiong animal boldly went to ask General Chen, is not early in the Spring and Autumn battlefield Qi Dangguo saved General Chen, so it is so remember the old feelings? Chen Zhi Bao smiled and shook his head, saying that following the great general to fight in the north and south to destroy the six countries, only he saved others, like the battle of the Princess Tomb to save Yuan Zuozong, especially to save Qi Dangguo as many as six times, only three times in the battle of Xibibibi. Dianxiong Animal was even more strange, but no matter how much he tried to get to the bottom of it, General Chen did not give a reason.
Chen Zhi Bao poured wine extremely slowly.
After pouring a jug of wine, he gently placed the jug at his feet, looked up at the brand new coffin containing that deceased person, and pursed his lips.
When the Xu family army was making a name for itself in the Liyang court but had not yet achieved great power, it had fought too many bitter battles, and whenever it lost a battle and needed someone to take the rear, there would always be a simple young man who wasn’t good with words who would take the lead and say, “I’ll do it!”
Whoever grabbed it from him would be in a hurry.
His reasoning is that my life is not worth much, when in the chaos of war and survived is already earned, die a relationship!
Spring and Autumn War, war, the emperor will die, peddlers will die, the sand field of martial arts naturally more likely to die, so at that time life and death is a small matter, is commonplace, but like that young man as afraid of their own not die in battle guys, in fact, not much.
At that time the young man surnamed Qi, in the chaotic world really can not live before choosing to join the army, relying on outstanding brawn and fearlessness step by step to do on the Xu Snapdragon personal bodyguard small leader, and then in the ghost gate again and again to retrieve the life when he dreamed of carrying the standard of the people.
Liyang fixed the world, the Xu family army generals entered the city of Tai’an in style, then the city was full of rumors, all rumors that he Chen Zhi Bao to be sealed with a different name king on the southern border or two Liao, and then the young man surnamed Qi, who has just become the general’s son, carried a wine to find him, slammed it on the table, and put down a vicious sentence, “Chen Zhi Bao, if you dare to leave the Xu family army, in the future, I do not treat you as a brother. ”
At that time, the sound like the early white monk Li Dangxin body in the city of Tai’an Chen Zhi Bao, crying and laughing at the same time, but also some inexplicable heartache.
This is actually a glance at a very colorful guy, put out the words of the implication, in fact, I Qi Dangguo know that I am not worthy of you to take me as a brother, but that’s your ChenZhiBao thing, I still take you as a brother anyway.
At that time, Chen Zhi Bao did not have the good taste to give him a “wine to stay, people get lost”.
Qi Dangguo subconsciously oh a sound, to the door when the hindsight to run to him again, open the wine, very seriously said:””.
When Chen Zhi Bao decided to leave Beiliang before, also carrying a jug of wine to find Qi Dangguo, the latter seems to be aware of it, smiling bitterly, probably remembering the scene of that year, Qi Dangguo asked, “The wine stays, the people, can they also not go?”
Chen Zhi Bao shook his head.
Qi Dangguo sulked and finished the wine, and finally said, “As long as you don’t make an enemy of Northern Liang in the future, then you will still be a brother, but if you can’t do it, when the time comes, the first person from Northern Liang that you kill with the plum wine, will surely be me, Qi Dangguo, and that’s not just booze talk nonsense.”
Chen Zhi Bao pulled out the letter from his bosom, clutched it in his hand, held it into a ball, and when he let go, it turned into broken pieces of flotsam and jetsam, “The letter has been received, but there are some things you said in the letter that I can’t do.”
That tall and simple young man, no matter how many people killed in the sand field and how many war achievements, there is no Chu Lushan’s lordly gas, Yuan Zuozong’s heroic gas, Yao Jian’s talent gas, Ye Xizhen pedantry, always always always carry a rustic gas.
So much so that even after the death of the cypress coffin, looks like lying with the person generally rustic.
Chen Zhi Bao stood up, did not turn his head, coldly laughed: ”North Liang 300,000 iron horsemen died out, in the end, just to keep Liyang Zhao room a peace? Xu Fengnian, you are truly marvelous!”
Xu Fengnian wanted to speak, but in the end, he still did not refute anything.
As Chen Zhi Bao turned around, he took off that long traveling bag behind his back, revealing the true appearance of the plum wine gun body.
The room was full of cold air.
“If this Northern Liang is replaced by me, there will be a day ……”
Chen Zhi Bao mouth corner floated full of ridicule smile, sight slightly deflected, looked at Chu Lushan, blandly said, “You Chu Lushan is not want to be a civil official leader want to be beautiful posthumous Wenzhen? I give you.”
Chen Zhi Bao’s line of sight crossed over Chu Lushan and Xu Fenian, crossed the courtyard gate, and could vaguely see the Northern Liang iron armor there, “Yan Wenluan, Yuan Zuozong, He Zhonghu, Chen Yuntui, all these old Northern Liang Xu family members, everyone is crowned king.”
“Shi Fu, Hu Kui, Han Laoshan, Ning Emei, Dian Xiongzu, Wei Fucheng, these Northern Liang generals, everyone is a public vassal.”
“Even if they die in battle before the world is at peace, everyone will be able to die beautifully posthumously.”
Chen Zhi Bao retracted his sight and finally looked squarely at Xu Feng Nian, “What about you? How much have you brought to the Northern Liang Iron Knights? Just 300,000 stone tablets?”
Chen Zhi Bao casually wiped off the cloth pouch, holding the gun body of the plum wine.
Chen Zhi Bao took off the small cloth pouch again and mounted the spearhead, “Although you killed Hong Jing Yan, you and I both know in our hearts that Qi Dang Guo died because of you. I don’t care how many of Beiliang’s 300,000 iron horsemen died, but a dead Qi Dangguo, I have to settle the score with you, the rightful King of Beiliang.”
Xu Fengyen looked at this white-clothed soldier saint who had come to raise the offense, “Chu Lushan, you take everyone out of Huaiyang Pass and bring along the Six Jeweled Bodhisattva.”
Six Jewel Bodhisattva hesitated for a moment and did not insist on staying.
The white fox child face standing at the entrance of the courtyard frowned, “I’ll stay, but not interfere.”
Xu Fengnian shook his head, “You go too, no discussion.”
The king of Shu with plum wine in hand was indifferent, allowing Chu Lushan to leave the courtyard with an ironized face, then the six beads Bodhisattva, and finally the white fox child face that looked deeply at Chen Zhi Bao.
Chen Zhi Bao who did not immediately strike seemed to be waiting for Chu Lushan to leave Huai Yang Pass with his troops, and asked with a good smile, “In about two quarters of an hour, you will be dead, do you have any last words to say?”
Xu Fengnian began to close his eyes and rest his mind, waiting for the last Northern Liang border trooper to leave Huaiyang Pass.
Chen Zhi Bao also stopped talking, letting the vassal king in front of him comb his chi, he squinted his eyes, his thoughts drifting away.
The young Liang king was still wearing the boots with the badly worn soles.
The King of Shu, who traveled all the way from Guangling Road to the Liangzhou Pass, is not much better.
There was once a prophecy circulating in the court, Western Sichuan and Northern Liang rats eat food, and the scaly dragon and white clothes are chopped together.
