Chapter 344 – Stormy Weather, Both Seeing a Gentleman
“Since I entered the palace, I haven’t taken a step away from Suian City, I occasionally show up, I don’t have many encounters with people, and the people I remember, are even fewer. In the recent decades, that scholar called Cao Changqing is very ……”
The young eunuch suddenly fell silent, as if he didn’t know how to describe the Western Chu Confucian scholar with the abundant god Jade Lang in his memory.
In the end, the young eunuch did not cover the coffin for Cao Changqing of Xichu, and passed it off, raised his head, looked at Xu Fenian, and for the first time really opened his mouth to ask: “Will you usurp the throne and ascend to the throne to be the emperor?”
Xu Fengnian frankly said, “Because of Xu Snapdragon, I won’t be an emperor. But if Xu Snapdragon leaves and my master is able to live for another ten years, I will fight for him.”
The young eunuch stared into Xu Fenian’s eyes and nodded, “You and I are both sincere.”
The sincerity of Xu Fenian, the king of Beiliang, was to be straightforward, while the sincerity of this eunuch was to take the initiative to leave the capital and come to Beiliang.
At that time, when Xu Fengyen was killing people inside and outside of the Qintian Supervisor, the reason why the young eunuch did not make a move was that the situation in the Central Plains at that time was not so bad as to allow Beiliang to be related to the world’s family name at the drop of a hat.
Sure enough, the young eunuch laughed, “If I had known this, I would not have let you leave when I was in the capital.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “It wasn’t too easy for you to leave me behind at that time.”
The young eunuch pondered for a moment, “At that time, with the residual soul of Hong Chuanxiang at your side, and with Deng Tai’a watching the battle from the side, it was indeed not easy.”
The young eunuch stretched out his hand.
Xu Fengnian also sat on the mouth of the well obediently.
The young eunuch sighed, “To be able to sit down and reason well with a calm mind, such people are becoming fewer and fewer. I’ve seen many people with my own eyes, the higher the official position and the heavier the military power, the more they can’t hold their hearts, almost all Liyang emperors, even more so.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “When you say such words, your murderous aura is all gone, but your murderous heart is up, it’s not quite appropriate, is it?”
The young eunuch looked calm and said, “Why am I not talking about myself?”
Xu Fengnian helplessly said, “Not to mention the level of force, you and I can be considered as rivals in chess with our thick skin.”
The young eunuch tilted his head up, and in the twilight, he saw dark clouds hanging low, as if a storm was about to come.
He turned his head and looked at Xu Fengnian, “In Tai’an City, just in these few decades, I’ve seen the young Xu Snapdragon, as well as Zhang Julu, and neither of them, I like very much. Xu Snapdragon who entered the palace for the first time, at that time was still a miscellaneous general, all over the body, there is a kind of meet God kill God meet Buddha kill Buddha’s sharpness, Hanlin Academy as many years of Huangmenlang Zhang Julu, when he walks in the procession of retreating from the dynasty, even if he was at that time the rank was very low, you will see from him that the world is muddy, I am only clear of the arrogance of the world. Cao Changqing entered the palace three times, all of which I knew about, but did not show up.”
“In contrast, I look at Huan Wen a bit more pleasant, top smart a person, but pretended to be confused all his life, everywhere with people, so I have twice alone with him in the palace to meet, separated by almost twenty or thirty years, right, the second time he still recognized me at a glance, but pretended not to recognize, smiled and said hello to me just.”
“Among the successive emperors of Liyang, the current young Prince Zhao Zhuan is considered the most elegant. Of course, this is only in comparison to his father’s ancestors.”
Hearing this quietly, Xu Fengyen smiled, “That’s why you had this trip to Northern Liang?”
The young eunuch shook his head, “As long as the surname Zhao is still Zhao, it doesn’t matter at all if it’s Zhao Zhuan.”
The young eunuch then said flatly, “Not coincidentally, your surname is Xu, not Zhao.”
As these words were finished, a drizzling rain happened to fall on the street, and the entire silhouette of the small verdant stone-paved street seemed to soften.
This water well was located at the corner of the straight street in front of the post house, so Chen Wang was able to see the scene from the post building.
Although the night was rainy, Chen Wang still recognized the identity of the young man who appeared next to the water well.
Chen Wang hesitated for a moment, but still walked down the post building, only not waiting for him to walk out of the gate of the post house, he realized that Xu Beihao had already sat on the threshold early, blocking the way.
Xu Beihao carried another jug of wine from somewhere, as if muttering to himself, “I said I wouldn’t come, and then I came again, and then I didn’t see the main man in the end, so it seems that this horseman, who usually looks like he has a normal demeanor, is not to be trifled with.”
Chen Wang said in a deep voice, “Xu Beihao, you’d better not stop me. That person’s cultivation is definitely beyond your imagination, not even your king’s!”
Xu Beihuan’s face was as normal as he took a sip of wine, “Oh?”
“Xu Beihuan, perhaps Xu Fengyin doesn’t need to fear anyone in the world, but the person he’s facing right now is the exception!” Chen Wang’s tone was anxious, it was obvious that it was definitely not a small matter that could make Chen Shaobao, who was known for his composure in the imperial court, lose his temper like this.
Xu Beihao twisted his head and asked with a smile, “Do you want a drink to calm your nerves?”
Chen Wang was almost about to break into a rage, but looking at those clear eyes, Chen Wang sighed heavily, took the wine jug, and fiercely poured a mouthful of green ant wine.
Xu Beihao didn’t bother to pick up the wine pot that Chen Wang handed back to him, but instead looked back towards the end of the street and muttered, “I killed my way back to Beiliang from Beimang with that guy, and during that time, I died many times, such as being blocked by the fifth raccoon of Mt. Tibingshan, but I didn’t have any doubts about being able to come to Beiliang alive. Deep down, I always felt that as long as I followed that guy, even if the sky collapsed, he would curse and be the first one to take the top, in short, he would die first before we would die.”
Xu Beihuan grinned, “Just like this guy won’t tell me how the Liyang court values me, I won’t tell him that either.”
Suddenly Xu Beihao slapped his thigh, “Damn it! The time I arm wrestled with Zhong Hongwu in Longmu County of Lingzhou, I was so drunk that I was unconscious, and this guy carried me back, so don’t tell me that the wine talk was all over the place!”
Chen Wang couldn’t help but laugh and cry… What time is it now, and you’re still thinking about this kind of thing?
At this time, Chen Wang remembered the Ministry of households file, about Xu Beihei a very easy to ignore the trivial trivial, is in the northern Liang, the relationship between the irreconcilable Xu Fengyen and Xu Beihei in fact, never brother and brother, but Xu Fengyen is a persimmon, Xu Beihei is an orange.
If not only in Beiliang Road, but in a dynasty temple, two people relationship, probably can be called the model of the gentleman and the courtier appropriate it.
Chen Wang thought of the current emperor.
Will smile.
He also sat on the threshold and drank wine to himself, a very unfamiliar flavor, after all, he hadn’t drank this kind of hometown wine for more than a decade.
But still felt
Bei Liang hometown has the grace of nurturing, Li Yang court has the grace of knowing.
In this world, there are two ways to make both ends meet, the family and the country are not to be disappointed.
Will they both fail in the end?
Just like failing her?
Chen Wang violently tilted his head back and drank all the green ant wine in the jug in one gulp.
Xu Beihao suddenly laughed, “Lord Chen, in fact, maybe in the future you will return to your roots one day.”
Chen Wang gripped the wine jug tightly and said softly, “Never return.”
Regrettable things in this world often begin with the word goodbye.
And the fortunate things in the world often lie in the time of the real goodbye afterwards.
It was a pity that there were many regrets and few fortunate things.
Chen Wang repeated, “Never again.”
The young eunuch slowly stood up, one hand pressed on top of the water well wheel, “Your father, Zhang Julu, Cao Changqing, and you, together with those long forgotten old men from the former dynasty of Liyang, are actually all a kind of people that I don’t like, but ask yourself, the reason for disliking them, surprisingly, is that I envy you.”
The young eunuch fell into reminiscence, “When Liyang was founded for a few years, that room of diligence that preached and taught for the children of the Zhao family existed for a few years, and I admired the readers so much a long time ago that I often went to listen to the sound of those readings there.
Both see the gentleman!
After the young eunuch came back to his senses, he looked down at this young feudal lord who was still sitting on the mouth of the well and laughed, “In my heart, Cao Changqing and the others are gentlemen, and so are you, so no matter if it’s life or death, I’m very happy.”
The raindrops on the small street were getting heavier, and the young eunuch’s smile intensified, “Perhaps being considered a gentleman by an unknown eunuch is not considered anything to be happy about, is it?”
Xu Fengnian stood up, “Being treated as a gentleman, of course it’s worth being happy. It’s just that I can’t be happy to see you.”
The young eunuch smiled, “If you are not happy, then fight?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and replied, “Just what I want. Things that can be solved with your fists are best not to harp on them, if you can’t beat them, we can sit down and continue reasoning.”
The young eunuch’s eyes sighed in admiration, “No wonder he said he has a considerable thickness of cheek, I’ve seen it.”
Xu Fengyen tilted his head up and looked at the gray sky, “Someone taught me, walking in the jianghu, not having a thick skin is not appetizing.”
Right at this moment, in the distance, Fan Xiaochai seemed to be unable to bear the thought of being reduced to a spectator, slowly drew out the cool knife on his waist and began to run wildly in the rain.
Mi Fengjie could not stop him at all.
On this street, a drop of rain is a true meaning.
Dot by dot.
Fan Xiaochai’s seven orifices began to bleed scarlet blood, but this stubborn woman continued to charge forward frantically, and the sound of her feet stamping on the ground became more and more dull and stagnant every time.
Xu Fengyen, who had his back to Fan Xiaochai, casually waved his sleeve, and she immediately flew backwards, crashing into a wall.
Tightly pressed against the wall’s back, blood and rainwater some slid down.
Mi Fengjie looked back at Fan Xiaochai who had gone and returned, his eyes helpless and fearful.
The young eunuch stretched out his arm horizontally and spread out his palm, all the drops of rainwater that fell on his palm did not turn into rainwater, but instead bounced up one by one, nor did they bounce straight up, but rather, they flew around and drew arcs over and over again, eventually gathering into a circle.
The young eunuch laughed, “I’m actually not very good at fighting, but …… haven’t lost.”
Xu Fengnian this time directly used his left hand to press the cool knife on his waist, “I am not as old as you, but the number of fights is definitely more than you, and I …… haven’t died.”
Haven’t lost, of course the blandness see domineering.
Haven’t died, on the other hand, sounds like a joke, but definitely makes people laugh.
A small street, two land gods.
One is the youngest, one is the oldest, because the age difference is hundreds of years.
Rain or shine, both see the gentleman.
But still a fight.
The old eunuch couldn’t help but have some impulse to jump and curse his mother, didn’t he say that a gentleman moves his mouth and doesn’t do anything?
