Chapter 371 – A Breath of Freshness
Xu Fengyen slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, which had been pent up for a long time.
For the old man who is bent on supporting the Su clan in Xishu, Xu Fengyen does have grievances, if not they rushed to Shu Zhao to erect the flag of restoration, many Northern Liang secretly buried in the pawns there will not surface so quickly, even if left unused, it is also far better than the current embarrassing situation, if not Chen Zhi Bao didn’t completely tear his face off with the Northern Liang, those who once consumed countless energy and financial resources of the Northern Liang spies to be Ten does not exist one, to know in the master Li Yishan’s established strategy, once the Liyang court in the future of Liangmang war decided to drag their feet, the northern Liang will be bluntly pointed to Shu Zhao, as a strategic backyard of the northern Liang successor to the source of grain and grass, so for Shu Zhao two places of the continued infiltration of the northern Liang said that spared no effort, far more than the Central Plains more attention, so a certain county king’s house conscientiously a diligent steward, the ancient plate of the preaching and teaching of the private sector, and the northern Liang is the most important thing to do, so that it is not a good time. The old-fashioned private school teacher who teaches, the peddler who runs around in the marketplace, the charming flower girl who winks at the customers in the greenhouse, and even the powerful lieutenant in the army of Shu Zhao, may be the dead soldiers of the water flick room.
Back a million steps, Shu Zhao and North Liang due to Chen Zhi Bao cut off, even if the Xu family iron cavalry in the end did not hold North Liang, so that those who whisked the water room chess pieces to the end can not be built, but the least, those who, can only with a kind of unrecognized regrets, slowly die of old age in the Shu Zhao two places. Not like now, such as wandering ghosts, exposure in broad daylight, not only Chen Zhi Bao know their identity, and even I am afraid that even the Liyang Zhao hook began to quietly record files, just waiting for the future to facilitate the settling of scores.
For Su Shu, Xu Fengyen can not talk about how to hold a grudge, this young man is not even counted as a puppet of the strings, under the general trend, but also can only go with the flow. In Shu Zhao two places Su Shu pulled blind zither master pretending to be a young warrior devil, wandering the world wantonly, is not a kind of similar to drink to drown their sorrows. And for the sword maker surnamed Qi who once gifted his new sword “Spring and Autumn”, Xu Fengyen only has admiration.
In the end, Xu Fengyen was angry at Zhao Dingxiu for turning against him, but he was even more resentful of his own carelessness.
At some point, the king’s word can make a country or die, the historian’s word determines whether a person will remain in history or remain in infamy, and the military general’s word is even more decisive in determining the victory or death.
Soldiers, the country’s major events.
It is not a joke.
Perhaps simple-minded Su pastry just guilty of his and the old man’s perfidy, simply can not think of those rooted in Shu Zhao for many years of the Northern Liang dead, can not think of a deeper pattern of the Liang-Mang war, the young man from the noble family, after all, from the time he understood only know that he is a common relics of the Northern Mang waiting for death to eat and eat, only to know that the old man is a pedantic and harsh, uninspired old scholar, Uncle Qi is nothing more than a Uncle Qi is just a blacksmith with more strength. What bells and whistles, what kings and goddesses of earth and grain, what Xishu imperial uncle died fighting in the city gate, what Xishu and the country to die together with the ministers of the crown of the Spring and Autumn, in addition to swaddling clothes wrapped up the young child’s gold and yellow dragon dragon brocade, he did not wear a day Prince python suit, so he completely do not understand those impassioned.
Su Su Su secretly sniffled, showing its weakness of character, no kingpin nature can be said.
He only longed for the rivers and lakes, and did not like the strange temple officialdom.
After the death of Su’s old courtiers to see their own kind of tears, the kind of kneeling salute, but will not let this young man with no ambition to feel happy, he will only feel a thousand kilograms of heavy burden on his shoulders.
Privately, he once said to his favorite blind female zither player to laugh at himself: a hundred useless is Su Crisp.
At some point, there was no Wei Miao Miao woman who came here with Su Crisp’s trio, and the couple had already stood behind the Qi Sword Casting Master, invariably separating the crowd. Especially when the dress gorgeous eye-catching Miao women smilingly wringing a denizen’s palm, the crowd just to Wudang Mountain incense burning good men and women began to birds and beasts scattered, some conceited martial arts in the body of the jianghu people but most did not go far away, but also separated from the distance cautiously cold-eyed look on.
Wei Miao took a few steps forward and opened the door, “The King of Shu asked me to deliver a message to both of you that there is no harm in crossing the border.”
Xu Fenian realized that the Qi Sword Caster frowned, and with a clear understanding in his heart, he asked, “When did he hand you this message, before the Spring Snow House change, or after?”
Wei Miao indifferently said, “I won’t say, it doesn’t matter.”
Xu Fengyen no longer paid any attention to this infamous Nanzhao No.1 Grandmaster, he looked towards the Qi Sword Casting Master, “Also give a message to Old Master Lu for me, the relationship between Beiliang and Shu Zhao is not comparable to the relationship between Beiliang and other parts of the Central Plains, once we can’t hold onto Rejecting the North, Shu Zhao is destined to need to face the iron cavalry of the Northern Mang very soon, so twenty thousand is the minimum, and it must be the elite, or else it will only help and be a send-off when it comes to Beiliang. help and only send them to their deaths.”
The Qi Sword Caster nodded.
As the dust settled, Su Shu was just about to turn around and leave, when she heard the young Clan King ask with a smile, “After smashing so much capital, this is the most expensive marriage sign under the sky, don’t you want to try your luck?”
Su Shu still insisted on leaving, but unexpectedly the cuffs were tugged, turned his head and looked, although her eyes were closed, but obviously full of hope.
Su Shu suddenly heart a soft, face back to the table, hold up the bamboo tube, a burst of violent shaking, finally shook out a bamboo stick.
Xu Fengnian reached out and picked up the bamboo stick, glanced at it, and then exuded a look of pity.
Su Shu’s mood instantly fell to the bottom.
After the previous storm of deep internal injuries, the young man who had added insult to injury at this moment no longer had any semblance of cynicism, and reddened his eyes again.
Xu Fengnian sighed.
Su Su Su turned her head and squeezed out a smile at the blind female zither player, “Let’s go, this sign doesn’t work.”
Xue Songguan smiled and nodded.
Xu Fenian raised an eyebrow, “Not spiritual?!”
Su Su Su lost even the essence of fighting, pulling up her hand and about to leave.
Only to hear a sentence coming from behind, “The thirty-ninth sign, ‘The one who wants it, the one who wants it.’ The upper sign. Oh, so it’s not working.”
Su Shu was struck by lightning and turned around to snatch the marriage sign in Xu Fenian’s hand with the speed of thunder and lightning.
Xu Fengyen’s arm holding the sign dodged high, “Pay first, 100 Wen!”
Su Shu glared angrily at him, “Still charging money?!”
Xu Fengyen’s other hand’s thumb and forefinger gently twisted, “Pay if you like, read if you like.”
Xue Songguan smiled, silently pulled out a woven brocade embroidered showy money bag, about to give money.
Su Shu held her wrist, stared hard at Xu Fenian, gritted her teeth and said, “Really good sign?”
Xu Fengnian lazily put down a sentence, “Love to believe it or not.”
Even the mute sword maker surnamed Qi was a little bit reluctant to do so, our Crown Prince met this young feudal lord, it was really bad and suffered.
Xue Songguan still gave a hundred Wen, but she extended her hand and spread out her palm.
Sign, no matter how good or bad it is, she is going to collect it.
Meanwhile, the blind zither player whose attainments in the Finger Xuan realm of the current generation were second only to Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a, had a strong aura.
She did not give the young feudal lord half a chance to replace the bamboo sign.
The stick, no matter up or down, she wanted the real one.
Xu Fengyen smiled and handed out the bamboo sign, Su Su grabbed it in her hand first, then was stunned.
Xu Fenian let out an alas.
Xue Songguan’s gloomy look flickered.
Noticing her subtle changes, Su Shu immediately snapped out of it and furiously said, ”Surname Xu! You thousand-dagger son of a bitch!”
Xu Fengnian laughed out loud, “Wrong reading, wrong reading, it’s the 81st sign, it’s even better than the last sign, a sign of great fortune!”
Xue Songguan raised her head violently, facing Su Shu, her face was full of unbelief.
Su Shu hugged her fiercely, with a crying voice, said, “It’s a really good sign, really!”
Xu Fengnian leisurely shook his head and said, “Eighty-one sign, ‘Wifeable too’!”
Xue Songguan slightly broke away from Su Cui’s embrace, she turned sideways and actually broke into a blush, then solemnly gave a Wan Fu to the young feudal king.
Perhaps it was gratitude that he had set up a stall here to interpret the sign, allowing Su Crisp to shake out this good sign that she had never even dreamed of.
Perhaps it was gratitude for the fact that he didn’t die in that assassination in the rainy alley in Beimang back then, allowing himself to recognize Su Crisp.
Perhaps it was gratitude for his last minute retention, which was tantamount to helping Su Crisp untie the dead knot in her heart.
Xu Fengnian waved his hand and joked, ”Miss Xue, to speak from the bottom of my heart, this pastry really doesn’t deserve you. If he shakes the lot, of course it will be a good lot of luck, but you, Xue Songguan, are really not a good person, so if you were to shake the lot, I dare to say that it will definitely be a bad lot.”
Su Jiao had long been tossed by Xu Fengyen to the point where he had no energy left, and even the phrase “let go of your mother’s dog’s ass” also sounded weak and feeble.
Xu Fengyen beat the dog: “Crispy cake, since it’s a good sign, give another 100 Wen, what a joyous event, this small amount of money can’t be saved.”
Without saying a word, Su Shu led Xue Songguan away.
Although it is second only to the old master Zhao Dingxiu’s minister of supporting the dragon, but Qi surname sword maker to Shu Zhao, but never involved in military and political affairs, he said goodbye to Xu Fengyen with a clasp of the fist, Xu Fengyen similarly stood up to clasp the fist to send off.
Since the meeting in the jianghu, then don’t in the jianghu.
There is only Jianghu, no temple.
After the Spring and Autumn, there were two patriarchal battles that most mesmerized the Liyang Jianghu.
One was the battle between Li Chun Gang and Wang Xianzhi on the East China Sea.
One was when the New Liang King Xu Fengnian, the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai’a, and the Great Official Son Cao Changqing, the three of them fought chaotically in Tai’an City.
As for the battle between Tuoba Bodhisattva and Deng Tai’a, or Xu Fengyen and Tuoba Bodhisattva’s battle for thousands of miles in the western region, due to the lack of bystanders, it was far less powerful than the former.
And today, before the hut, it was even more lonely. There are only a few three spectators, and are not the kind of Taoist people who like to move the lips, I think in the end, most of the jianghu will not hear about this peak of the conflict.
However, the two sides, one was once white into the Tai’an early to enjoy the earth to the reputation of the Taoist monks, one is holding half of the dynasty’s military power of the country’s pillar, certainly do not care about those jianghu fame.
Gu Jiantang suddenly lost his smile, withdrew his palm, shook his head, wanting to speak again.
Bai Yu squinted his eyes, unable to really see, and asked in a low, curious voice, “Why aren’t we fighting yet?”
Immortal Warrior Qi blandly said, “The fight is over.”
Bai Yu stares blankly, “How come, nowadays it’s more popular to fight faster than to argue?”
Qi Xian Man’s figure stood straight under the eaves of the house, from his direction, although he could only see the white-robed monk’s back, Qi Xian Man was still able to be as fast as running thunder with the subtle trembling of that snow-white robe, only to be forcefully suppressed by Li Dangxin.
Abode Heaven and Earth.
A robe, that is, a small thousand world.
That world is just Bai Yu Han Gui can not see clearly, if once in it, it is really the sky and the earth.
In short, Gu Jiantang seems to be lightly even as if not out of the power of a knife, if replaced by another person to carry, in the foot of the majestic mountain, it will be open mountain peaks, in the mouth of the river, the river will be seawater backed up dozens of miles.
The string of hanging beads on the chest of the white-robed monk slowly quieted down.
Just at this moment, a large peak in the north of the Great Lotus Peak summit crumbled, the sound was as heavy as thunder.
Gu Jiantang said helplessly, “Li Dangxin, this isn’t appropriate, is it?”
The white-robed monk laughed, “I’m sorry, after the poor monk went up to the mountain, he watched the Taoist priests boxing every morning, and he also gained some insight, and learned that four-two-thousand-jin.”
He said he was sorry, but the middle-aged monk really didn’t look half as embarrassed as he realized.
Gu Jiantang snorted coldly.
The white-robed monk hesitated for a moment, and said with a serious expression on his face, “The force is great, and Wang Xianzhi’s one force is similar to the same thing, if Wang Xianzhi were to carry it, you would be able to injure him as well, but of course wanting to beat Wang Xianzhi with this is still unrealistic.”
Gu Jiantang calmly asked, “Only that?”
The white-robed monk laughed: “Of course, the most crucial thing is that this move of yours can damage people’s qi, if you give you seven or eight knives in a row, Wang Xianzhi will also have to fall rapidly, otherwise I wouldn’t have this knife of yours, tricky dialing to the back of that mountain peak.”
Gu Jiantang proudly said: “I can even twelve knives!”
The white-robed monk said in a tone of voice, “Do you think you have the celestial body that the one surnamed Xu inherited from Gao Shulu? And at the same time, you are also wearing the Wudang Great Yellow Court, which is characterized by an unending flow of qi? Wang Xianzhi can smash you to death with just three or four punches!”
Gu Jiantang laughed coldly.
The white-robed monk touched his bald head, “You really don’t believe me, there are only a handful of people in the world who truly know the power of Wang Xianzhi, Li Chungang, Xu Fengnian, at most, plus one Hong Zaixiang, the others can’t even comprehend thoroughly such as Deng Tai’a Cao Changqing, after all, those two people haven’t really had a life and death battle with Wang Xianzhi. Also, the poor monk even if you don’t use that Wudang boxing essence, stand still and let you cut twelve knives, the poor monk figure is still able to be immovable as a mountain. It’s just that I’m going to do something in person soon, so I can’t afford to lose my qi here.”
Gu Jiantang was silent.
The white-robed monk sighed, “Gu Jiantang, if you are able to focus on your sword without any distractions, you may not have the chance to fight for the number one person in the world.”
Gu Jiantang regained his normal color and laughed, “The sword, in someone Gu’s opinion, can only be a murderous weapon for killing people in the sand field, using it to compete for the name of the jianghu is too bad for it.”
Sword in the jianghu to get the wind flow, knife in the sand field to drink enough blood.
This was perhaps the true perception of Great General Gu Jiantang’s heart.
Gu Jiantang finally asked, “I want to know, who under the heavens can actually break your Vajra Body?”
The white-robed monk touched his head and stretched out three fingers, “Deng Tai’a’s Tai’a Sword.”
Gu Jiantang nodded, he had already guessed.
The white-robed monk continued, “The snoring of the poor monk’s daughter-in-law.”
Gu Jiantang took a deep breath.
He simply left without saying hello.
The third person, he already didn’t want to know at all.
The white-robed monk still chattered and said, “Then there is the small wooden mallet in the hands of the poor monk’s daughter, who likes to take her father’s head as a wooden fish to knock, the daughter does not know that her heart aches for her father, and it is natural that her father’s nature is really painful.”
Bai Yu and Han Gui looked at each other and smiled.
The world’s difficult things, to the white monk Li Dangxin front, seems to be not difficult ah.
Han Gui suddenly blushed bitterly and said, “Sir, that damaged mountain peak?”
The white-robed monk turned his head and smiled, “Find the surname Xu to ask for money to repair it!”
Han Gui thinks for a moment, “That’s a good idea.”
As the Assassin of Liangzhou, Bai Yu quickly waved his hand and said, “Don’t do it! We don’t have much silver in Northern Liang these days!”
Not long after Gu Jiantang left, the group that went to purchase rouge returned earlier than expected.
At the back of the little Taoist boy Qing Xin Yu Fu two children secretly happy.
In the front, Li Dongxin tugged on Wu Nan Nan’s ear, and Li Dangxin’s daughter-in-law tugged on her daughter’s ear.
The woman chagrined and angry: “Li, you or mother’s own daughter? If it wasn’t for you pulling Stupid North and South to listen to you talk about Jianghu and delayed, otherwise he would have gone to Jade Clearance earlier, could he not buy the Sheep Swallow Branch from Smoke and Willow Place?!”
Li stuff tugged on the ears of the stupid north-south, and exasperatedly said, “It’s all your fault! You’re the one who said what the Yan Yan Branch of the Smoke and Willow Place is! You didn’t know to tell me earlier!”
Wu Nan Nan aggrievedly said, “Auntie, Li Zi, I didn’t think that Master had hidden the silver at the beginning.”
The three of them looked at the white-robed monk together.
The middle-aged monk folded his hands, looked up at the sky, and muttered, “Buddha blesses that there will be food tonight.”
At this time, the people present, no one knows that the white monk Li Dangxin chest of the string of beads, in fact, stringing up one hundred and eight mahogany beads of the cord, both because of perennial wear and tear, but also because of the Gu Jiantang that knife, has been dissipated as smoke.
Although there is no rope, but the beads are still strung, but Li Dangxin with a breath.
The world is impermanent.
When the heart as usual.
