Chapter 346 – It Never Rains

If earlier the young eunuch looked at Xu Fengnian like a scaly dragon walking along a river and entering the sea, looking down on a giant python coiled in a deep mountain and big lake, then at this moment facing the iron cavalry behind the young feudal king, this eccentric eunuch who was the same age as the country, for the first time showed a look as if he was facing a great enemy.

Jianghu great masters have the battle of intention, earthly emperors have the battle of qi.

Coincidentally, the two sides that met on this small street were not monarchs of a country, but the young eunuch relied on the qi of the Zhao Room of Liyang to nurture the realm of celestial beings, and Xu Fengyen, as the eldest son of the Xu Family of Beilang, was even more heavily involved in the rise and fall of the Liyang Dynasty, so both sides had both.

The street leading to Ruyi post house is north-south direction, at this time, Mi Fengjie Fan Xiaochai, two big spies of water whisking room and old eunuch Zhao Siku are located at the end of the east-west street, the young eunuchs are standing next to the well at the intersection of the intersection, Chen Wang and Xu Beihao are sitting and standing at the entrance of the post house, and can only vaguely see the blurring figure of the young eunuchs through the gloomy rain curtain, and can’t find the trace of Xu Fengyen for the time being, and they can only see that the water is coming out of the well, which is as thick as a hugging huge tree. A water dragon as thick as a hugging giant tree, leaping up high beside the young eunuch, and then swiftly pouncing away, the dragon’s body was extremely long, as if there was no end to it, and it kept gushing out from the water well.

Xu Beihao laughed and asked, ”Green dragon out of the water? What is this eunuch’s relationship with the human cat Han Sheng Xuan?”

Chen Wang frowned in deep thought and for words.

Xu Beihao slowly got up, closed his eyes and opened them again, so repeatedly, murmured, “This side of heaven and earth …… is a little weird.”

Chen Wang softly said: “Taoism and Buddhism since ancient times both the name of the abbot, according to legend, in that abbot place, respectively, the achievements of the three Qing holy land and the Buddha country in the Western sky, in which each has supreme magical powers, like a general sitting in the sand, anticipating the enemy’s first opportunity to have the right place and the right time as early as possible.”

Xu Beihuan said worriedly, “According to you, the guy surnamed Xu was clearly on his own territory, but instead, that eunuch took away the advantage?”

Chen Wang replied, “Above a small street is not a convenient place for a large group of warhorses to gallop, so why would there be such a dense and heavy sound of hooves?”

Xu Beihao stood up and raised his eyes, “Don’t get me wrong, the guy surnamed Xu isn’t so insidious as to scheme against you, much less mobilize the Youzhou cavalry with great fanfare. Besides, when it comes to martial arts masters of their arcane realm, they still need the world’s cavalry to assist them? There is simply no point.”

Chen Wang nodded.

Above the small street, just at the moment when Xu Fengyen was about to collide with that water dragon, the grim-faced young eunuch sighed and extended his palm, somehow re-pressing the wheel of the well.

In an instant, there was no more rain between heaven and earth, and the original dim sky color seemed to clear up a few points, as if the light of day had gone backwards.

Xu Beihao realized that he was still sitting on the threshold, Chen Wang shook the wine pot in his hand, and the green ant wine that he had obviously already drunk all of was still left in a small half pot.

Mi Fengjie was filled with bewilderment, Fan Xiaochai looked down, his clothes were intact and not half damaged.

Elderly eunuch Zhao Siku even stood at the end of the street interfering, confused.

And Xu Fengyen did not know when he “re” sat on the well, as if he never got up, never fought with the young eunuchs in the rain.

As the old saying goes, the thunder is loud but the rain is small, this time it was simply loud but no rain.

But in fact, this was not the case.

For example, the cool sword at Xu Fengnian’s waist was indeed in pieces.

The young eunuch’s face was complex, and he let out a cold snort.

Xu Fengnian smiled, “I knew you wouldn’t dare to fight for your life.”

The young eunuch was puzzled, “When did you know that this was all within my divine sense?”

Xu Fengyen looked up at the sky and lamented, “When it was raining, I was somewhat aware that something was wrong, and I really figured it out when I grabbed a handful of rainwater from my street.”

The young eunuch said with a stern face, “You were seriously injured by Tuoba Bodhisattva, I fought with you, naturally I will not take advantage of this, in the midst of this rain, originally, no matter how grueling the battle was, in the end, you will only lose your divine intent and not really injure your physical body.”

Xu Fengnian did not speak, turning his head to look at this Liyang eunuch who slowly moved his palm away from the wheel with a playful smile.

The young eunuch sneered, “The young emperor did not authorize me to split life and death with you, although he is the king of a country, he still does not have that qualification, and I do not have this boring mind.”

Xu Fengnian stood up and nodded, “At this moment, I’m afraid that even if I stick my neck out to Tai’an City for Zhao Zhuan to chop at will, he wouldn’t dare to kill me.”

The young eunuch was vaguely enraged, “If that’s the case, why do you still want to exorcize the residual souls of those Northern Liang martyrs who died in battle? What, to flaunt your power to me?”

Xu Fengnian said blandly, “If you hadn’t acted in such a manner, ask yourself, what would have happened in the future? If Northern Liang loses the battle, naturally everything will be over, the Xu family’s qi that affects the Zhao family will cease to exist, then regardless of whether I die on the Liangmang battlefield outside of Guanwai, you’ll most likely have to leave Tai’an City again to cut off the roots. If you win by any chance, regardless of whether or not the dragon chair of Liyang is still Zhao Zhuan’s to sit on, you will have a hard time sleeping and eating, you will not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, and you will definitely get rid of me, Xu Fengyen, as soon as you can.”

The young eunuch was surprised and said, “In that case, you shouldn’t have put your underhanded skills on the table? You and I now know that in Tai’an City, you can’t win against me, so you won’t be able to kill the Zhao Emperor, and in Beiliang, I can’t win against you. Once I take the initiative to leave the city, you have a better chance of winning, so why make me wary? Once I’m dead, there’s really no one else under the sky who can be the one you’re sick of winning. Wouldn’t you be able to do whatever you want at that time, and truly have your heart in the right place?”

Xu Fengnian smiled brightly and gave an inexplicable answer, “Both see the gentleman.”

The young eunuch was dumbfounded, “I regard you Xu Fenian as a gentleman along with Zhang Julu Cao Changqing and the others, could it be that you really treat people with such sincerity?”

Xu Fenian shook his head and repeated again, “Seeing both as a gentleman.”

The young eunuch was first puzzled, then realized.

When I see you Xu Fenian, I see a gentleman.

You Xu Fenian seeing me, both see a gentleman.

A gentleman’s friendship, a gentleman’s fight, neither of them change their original intention by being a friend or an enemy.

This is both the heart and the foundation of some people.

Beiliang e guarding the northwest gate, the original intention is naturally not for the Liyang court, not for the people of the Central Plains, then no matter how difficult the Liyang temple that is truly benefited by Beiliang, how the Central Plains turn a blind eye to, Beiliang will not change the original intention because of this?

The young eunuch laughed to himself, “I, a eunuch who is naturally hostile to you, can also become a gentleman in your heart?”

Xu Fengnian habitually folded his hands in his sleeves and softly said, “Those who can agree with those I agree with, then they are people of the same path. In my opinion, a person is limited by his or her life, knowledge and camp, so the cognition is naturally different, but some of the bottom line in the world is the same, for example, to understand the good and bad right and wrong, even if you are doing evil things, but you should also understand that what you are doing is by no means without a clear conscience, and for example, a person who has experienced ups and downs and has gone through a lot of hardships, and is aware that heaven and earth are not fair, but it is not appropriate to vent the hostility to all the people in the world, and the grass and the trees are growing in the direction of sunshine, and there is nothing wrong with that, and the way of heaven makes that happen. The way of heaven and earth, there is no excuse, but people standing in heaven and earth, have their own earthly rules to follow, Confucianism proposed scrupulous etiquette, both confinement, but also a shortcut.”

The young eunuch nodded and said, “In the final analysis, it is the three words of reasoning, the Confucian sages once said that ‘from the heart, do not overstep the rules’, how is it not a true obedience to the heart? I have been in the palace all over the Lu Zu advocating the unity of the three religions of the article, as well as successive generations of Confucian sages used to settle down and the rest of the two religions of the sages of the purpose of the exposition of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism roots, in fact, the different paths to the same destination.”

The young eunuch suddenly laughed out loud, “With all my guesses, I didn’t expect that I would be chatting with you, a rival feudal king, about these vague truths.”

Xu Fengnian laughed along with him, “If Beiliang is lucky enough to win against Beimang, I’m afraid there will be another meeting between you and I in the future.”

The young eunuch sighed, “Let’s hope it’s just a division of victory and defeat rather than life and death.”

Xu Fengnian sighed, “Actually, I envy those who are willing to be reasonable as well as obedient.”

The young eunuch laughed, “Are there really such characters?”

Xu Fenian nodded, “There are, Liu Yunu of Beiliang, Wei Jingtang of Jizhou.”

It’s a pity that both died.
