Chapter 374: The Son Says
In the dreary night, the young feudal king who just gave a kick off the small wooden bed, moved a bamboo chair to sit under the eaves, he did not treat himself too badly, not forgetting to carry a pot of green ant wine and a plate of peanuts out, the wine didn’t drink, a small plate resting on the robe, slowly one grain at a time thrown into his mouth, the long night, save a little bit of eating it.
Xu Fengnian sighed, anxious to eat hot tofu ah, thought to help her earn so much copper, she was obviously in a good mood, in fact, did let him touch the crib, but when his claws just covered a certain “finally not peaceful” place, the results did not come to savor, and immediately suffered a terrible disaster.
Xu Fengnian glanced down at his crotch and said sadly: “A righteous young man in the jianghu, you can enjoy the blessings, I will carry the difficulties! Enough righteousness, right?”
After muttering, Xu Fengyen leaned against the back of the chair, his hands clasped the back of his head, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
It was autumn, the night was as cool as water.
During the daytime, the encounter between Gu Jiantang and the white-robed monk, and the commotion that Tantai Calm caused in the two Lotus Peaks of the size afterward, he could sense it, and even the fact that Gu Jiantang and Tantai Calm ended up meeting each other at the bottom of the mountain, Xu Fengyen knew all about it.
Some things, can not care, also can not care, really want to calculate, will only add to the trouble.
Outside Liangzhou Pass, the northernmost Tiger Head City, the most heavily fortified North Mang middle road army three lines of march, strict rules and regulations, not a drop of water.
The good thing is that Cao Wei Xie Xijian two people join hands, in the western region of the Miyun mountain pass to fight that unexpected victory, just Xie Xijian under the banner of the two towns of cavalry, and Han Wenbao Chai Dongdi collected horse thieves, almost lost. Huai Yang Guan Palace has ordered Xie Xijian to be promoted to Liuzhou Vice General, temporarily overseeing all the troops in the two towns of Lin Yao Feng Xiang, and 20,000 monks and soldiers of Ruoduo Mountain are also handed over to Xie Xijian for scheduling. Xie Xijian department cavalry loss is not big, Qingliang mountain and the capital after a hasty temporary resolution, decided to let Xie Xijian lead the army to the north, and has been close to the north Mang Junzi Hall around the Yu Luan knife department Youzhou elite cavalry, forming a left and right echo of the trend of marching in tandem, directly attacked the south of the western capital!
Youzhou gourd outside the mouth is still calm, Liang Mang two sides know very well, this battlefield will no longer be the decision of the general trend of the winners and losers, will only be some small fights. That set of more than twenty riders from the Wu family sword mound of swordsmen, just take this opportunity to lead a small group of cavalry tours outside the pass, although it is just a painless icing on the cake, but at least it is also a good thing.
To the north of Qingcang City in Liuzhou, Huang Baner and Kou Jianghuai’s two cavalry armies were ready to go.
This afternoon is considered to have reached a verbal agreement with Su Crisp, 20,000 Shu Zhao foot soldiers can not be said to be a drop in the bucket, but it can only be used as a surprise army outside Liangzhou Pass, a battle with very little room to maneuver, to the point of needing to go sideways with the sword, is never a blessing, Xu Fengyen immensely hope that in the end there will be no need to use the 20,000 to rush to the battlefield. As for Wei Miao help to Chen Zhi Bao message, said will not block the old man Zhao Dingxiu’s soldiers and horses across Shu into Liang, credible, but not fully believe. Now Guangling River near the north and south of the border, a mess, Yanzhi King Zhao Bing, Shu King Chen Zhi Bao, Jing’an King Zhao Xun, the three feudal kings of Liyang common rising, perhaps loyal to the Zhao room of the Liyang dynasty will still feel that there is a Gu Jiantang the sea god pin, will think that the court is still occupying the advantage of a little, but Xu Fengyen knows that Gu Jiantang and the Tai’an City Zhao family’s destiny has been exhausted, son-in-law Yuan Tingshan in the Spring and Snow Building celebration of the banquet of the defection from the court, the son-in-law is the old man’s father-in-law, but he is the old man, and he is the old man. Outsiders seem to be giving old father-in-law Gu Jiantang a hard time, but that ambitious mad dog, how is it not a kind of heart to follow the trend.
Now Xu Fengyen in addition to the war on the string outside the Guanwai trend, really worried about the court before the promise of the grain into the cool matter, with his “friendship” with Jing’an Wang Zhao Xun, plus Zhao Xun is now about to be pushed to the position of the dragon chair, if the court grain can still be transported to the Lingzhou is a strange thing.
Originally, these things are not things, even if Zhao Xun really put on the dragon robe, after all, just a marionette, able to say, but certainly can not really sway the situation, even if the Yanzhi King Zhao Bing on the Northern Liang also fear, but as long as there is a Zhao cast on the other side, ultimately be able to maneuver one or two.
But since he met Lin Hongzuo, Xu Fengyen had to do the worst possible thing, that is, Northern Liang, in the true sense of the word, ushered in the biggest dilemma of the enemy on the back!
Xu Fengyen chewed a grain of peanut rice, calmly said, “Zhao Casting, this is what you forced me to fight with you, even if I don’t sit in that chair in the future ……”
Xu Fengnian sighed and did not say any harsh words.
Today at dusk, that head of the sea east green from the wutong courtyard of Qingliang mountain sent a hidden message, a few four words.
“It has arrived in Liangzhou.”
These four words, is the second sister Xu Weixiong’s handwriting, and at a glance, you can tell that she was writing extremely heavy.
This is a pile of planning for a long time secret, even whisking water room eagle room are not involved at all.
From beginning to end, only Xu Weixiong layout.
A few years ago, Xu Fengyen traveled to the rivers and lakes for the second time, and there were quite a few people around him, in addition to the old man in sheepskin fur and the little mudman, and then died in the reedbed Lu Qiantang, and there was Shu Shy, who is now very likely to be the queen. Among them, the plump woman holding the white cat was quite inconspicuous. In the end, she was “borrowed” by Xu Weixiong from Xu Fengyin and brought to the Shangyin Palace, at that time, Xu Weixiong said a very strange words, saying that he wanted to use the original name of fish xuanji fish young Wei as a bait, from the bottom of the lake sludge to catch a thousand years old trumpet. In fact over the years Xu Fengnian did not think deeply, almost forgetting about this matter. Until this year, fish Youwei to the identity of the school palace Jixiang Mr., leading a group of Jixian students rushed to the north of the Liang tour, began in the north of the Liang major academies back and forth to preach and teach, Xu Weixiong only then told him about that year’s events. It turns out that fish Youwei is not only the life is not so simple, as the people of Chu Li Chungang once casually mentioned that the generations of Chu have a woman sword service, with brilliant sword dance in the world, the cultivation is not high, but the intention of the long, it is really a strange thing. And fish young Wei’s mother is the last of the Chu odd sword service, and the state master Li Mi’s chess skills and known in the world, as to why so strange, that is a confusing piece of Chu Jiang’s secret, with the end of the battle of the Western Wall, will be lost in the dust of history, the world naturally do not know.
Xu Weixiong in the Shangyin Palace of learning those years, only three people respectfully referred to as Mr., two teachers, one is the disciples almost all of the literary world of the master of the bag by the Northern Liang, Han Guzi, one is the earliest defection to the Northern Liang Xu family’s Wang priest, but also that field of scholars to go to the lead of the people in the Liang.
The last one, Xu Fengyen only heard is a blind old zither master, perennial knot and live in the moral forest of the Shangyin Palace.
Xu Weixiong’s news “has arrived in Liangzhou”, it is this person.
A man of the world is still on earth.
Ordinary martial artists would think this is nonsense.
But ever since Xu Fengyen met that Tai’an City eunuch who was the same age as the country, or perhaps earlier, after he met the real celestial Gao Shulu, he began to understand a truth.
Now there was another Tantai Calm in the world who could not be measured by common sense.
This sentence, where was it any nonsense, it was clearly a falsehood!
The readers who can be among the Confucian saints, since the northern Zhang family saints, to the western Chu Cao Changqing, there is almost no one who has a good end.
The same as the three religions, Buddhism and Taoism, but almost from generation to generation, someone succeeded in proving the way, or perfect, or ascension.
Why is it that Confucianism is the only religion that does not have a “good end”?
Tantai Calm once explained it as the way of heaven in her capacity as a Qi Practitioner.
Xu Fengyen felt that she had a point, only that she did not make it complete.
The spiritually wandering Xu Fengnian suddenly remembered something, put down the wine pot and saucer, got up and ran to pick up water. In the dead of night, the side of the Elephant Wash Pond should be quiet, so fill up the water tank.
But Xu Fengnian just pushed open the bamboo fence, he couldn’t help but jump and curse, this late at night, there are still two groups of people coming to the side of the Elephant Wash Pond!
Xu Fengyen hesitated for a while, no matter what, that gang of jianghu grassroots love what they want, really want to piss himself off, let that gang of bastards taste the taste of autumn high and cool water bath.
He picked up the stretcher and continued to travel that way.
Treading through the bamboo forest thin broken moonlight, close to wash the elephant pond, Xu Fengyen has understood a general, two sets of separate groups of foreign jianghu people, each has a person in the daytime incense burning when the conflict, due to the harsh laws of Beiliang, there has been a lesson in front of the blood, do not dare to brawl in public, the two sides agreed to late at night in the wash the elephant pond sparring, secretly set up a letter of life and death, but can not carry weapons, all life and death. Carrying weapons, all life and death at their own risk, and never have to inform the foot of Wudang Mountain, Beiliang local government, even if accidentally leaked out, but also to bite the bullet not to implicate others. When Xu Fengyen walked to the end of the bamboo forest, stopped, raised his eyes to look, only to see the two sides in the washing of elephants in the pool of the imposing two-phase confrontation, seven or eight against more than 20 people, the number of people disparity, but the former momentum is stronger, the latter superior strength, but it seems to be a little bit of silence, let the head of the seven or eight people in the first person almost pointing to his nose poking and prodding point.
Xu Fengyen turned his head to look, the pool that out of the water on the boulder, a originally lying on their backs shapely figure sat up.
This movement of the woman who was sunbathing on the moon in the middle of the night was not too big or too small, and after being discovered by some of the earliest and brightest of the jianghu warriors, the atmosphere was instantly awkward.
After she sat up straight, facing the two sets of dumbfounded guys, she opened her mouth and said, “You guys continue, don’t pay attention to me.”
The crowd fixed their eyes on the shaking pool water and the moonlight trance, only to see her sitting alone on the stone, a pair of boots neatly arranged on her left hand side, and a jug of wine separated on her right hand side.
Her posture is not outstanding, just at this time this scene, will set off her hazy, add color countless.
After she opened her mouth to speak, the wine is strong and courageous, beauty is able to strengthen the courage, that originally gave people pointing to the nose to reprimand the stout man suddenly voice thunderclap, heavy clenched fist beat on the chest, “Wang Songfeng! I have been in the jungle for dozens of years, relying on what? Relying on a word of righteousness! I don’t care who was right or wrong with Li Bangxian during the day, since he found me, he is treating me, Hong Mingtang, as a friend! Even if you have invited Tang Gangmaster and Song Warrior to help you, we will each be on our own today, and according to the rules of the road, whoever gets down in the end admits his fault!”
The short man across from him rolled his eyes and directly jumped up and dropped a big slap over.
Mixed jianghu, if said to hit people is to make a grudge, then hit people’s face is to make a death grudge.
So the two sides because the woman inserted a sentence, began to fight, at first some people still pay attention to the identity, to the end of the fight hard, ruffled yin leg black tiger hollowing out monkey picking peaches and so on not into the flow of moves, are used, and seems to use quite stove fire perfect. All kinds of donkey roll dog eat shit, but also endless.
Miserable!
Picked the bucket aside to watch the battle Xu Fengyen, for some of the heroes and heroines who were beaten feel pain.
Give someone a slap in the face, fanning the whole person in the air to rotate several times in the landing, can not hurt it.
Or give someone a kick in the crotch, after falling to the ground, hands clutching the crotch rolling around, but to grit their teeth and not to cry parents, can not be heroic?
Xu Fengyen, who did not attract attention, took the opportunity to come to the Elephant Wash Pond and filled two barrels of water.
The woman had already put on her boots and floated down beside Xu Fengyen with a wine bottle, her eyes odd.
Xu Fengyen stopped his hand movements and asked with a smile, “Tong Zhuangzhuang master so leisurely?”
The young female leader of the Golden Error Blade Villa said with a straight face, “Earlier, the king had a parting gift, and Tong Shanquan remembered it in his heart! Legend has it that the Elephant Wash Pond has always been the place where Wudang Sword Idiot Wang Xiaoping practiced his sword, and he once went to chop the waterfall with his bamboo sword, so he wanted to come here to try it out, only to have no luck.”
Xu Fengyen softly said, “Everyone has their own karma, there is no need to force it, especially when it comes to the kind of bottleneck that will be broken but not yet broken, it is even more urgent.”
Tong Shanquan, who had two famous swords, Wude and Tianbao, hanging on one side of her waist, nodded her head, clearly not having any heartache about returning from this night’s disappointment.
This was also in line with Xu Fengyen’s impression of her, atmospheric.
Xu Fengyen habitually shook his stretcher, no different from a village man picking water in the countryside, and smiled at her as he parted ways, “If you don’t mind, I’ll have someone bring you one of Wang Xianzhi’s boxing manuals and some of my own sword techniques.”
Tong Shanquan was stunned, then asked bluntly, “Does the king need me for anything?”
Xu Fengnian nodded, “Of course!”
Tong Shanquan blinked his eyes.
Xu Fengnian continued, “In the future, practicing the sword and practicing a sword master who is even more powerful than Gu Jiantang, if at that time, Master Tong can say with people that he has been instructed by someone from Beiliang when he walks the rivers and lakes, it would be even better.”
Tong Shanquan smiled faintly and said dryly, “Good!”
At this time, someone sneakily felt their way over to the two of them.
Xu Fengnian turned his head and glared, loudly and angrily saying, “My father has been the chief scooper of the Northern Liang Green Forest for twenty years! How dare you mess with me?”
That guy to this bossy shocked dumbfounded, weighing the pros and cons, perhaps careful boat, gray turn around.
Xu Fengyin turned back, jokingly said, “I’m not wrong, my father was originally the head of black and white in Northern Liang.”
Tong Shanquan was speechless.
Xu Fengnian picked water and left.
Tong Shanquan looked at his back, and finally slowly turned around, gently pointing his toes, and swept away.
By the Elephant Wash Pond, the ground was full of chicken feathers.
Xu Fengnian returned to the hut and poured the water into the water tank.
When he turned to look, he saw Deng Tai’a.
Xu Fengyen did not raise an eyebrow, his face was heavy as he said, “I’ll go fetch the sword.”
Deng Tai’a nodded.
Xu Fengyen knocked on the door, picked up the cool knife from the table and gently left.
Not long after, Xu Fengyen and Deng Tai’a both stood side by side at the end of the top of the stone steps of the Great Lotus Peak.
Deng Tai’a calmly asked, “Do you know the identity?”
Xu Fenian shook his head, “Not sure.”
The Peach Blossom Sword God, who wore twin swords on his waist, stopped speaking and closed his eyes.
Xu Fenian said, “You don’t need to make a move until it’s absolutely necessary.”
Deng Tai’a remained silent.
At the foot of Wudang Mountain, an old man and a young man walked through the pagoda and slowly climbed the mountain.
The young man’s name was Gou Youfang, and he was once the most urbane and lowly character in the East Sea’s Wudi City.
Until the young man met a strange middle-aged man who entered the city with a bowl one day, and another middle-aged man who followed him with a mediocre appearance.
To this day, the teenager still did not know that the former was Xie Guanying and the latter’s name was Deng Ta’a.
After leaving the city of Wudi, the young man traveled around and met this hunchbacked old man beside him, and traveled west to Beiliang.
The teenager only knew his surname Zhang, so he called the old man Grandpa Zhang.
The old man was an old man who didn’t smile or talk, like a strict old school teacher. Fortunately, although the young man did not learn to read and write, but the nature of the simple and courteous, an old man and a small get along quite well.
Teenager in picking up the steps up, read the words: “The son said: the way of heaven and earth, Bo also, thick also, high also, bright also, long also, long also.”
Similar words and phrases, are all along the way when the old man wants to talk to teach the teenager, the teenager also just rote memorization, the meaning does not understand, do not understand, let go first.
When the teenager read out the sentence “The son said: angry and forget to eat, happy to forget to worry, do not know that old age will come”.
The old man could not help but sigh.
Old age will come, people will die.
Since the destruction of Qin, eight hundred years, generations of readers in the world, have to recite those in the book of sages densely packed in the “son said” two words.
Today, Liyang is a great popularization of the imperial examinations, more scholars, naturally, said even more.
This “said”.
That is, the Confucian saint Zhang said words.
At this time, the old man sighs and sighs, “So, I said so many words ah.”
The young man asked, “Grandpa Zhang, what did you say?”
The old man broke into an unprecedented smile and touched the teenager’s head, “Youfang, you are considered my closeted disciple, just call me sir from now on.”
The teenager was at a loss.
The old man took the teenager’s hand and continued to climb the mountain, blandly saying, “You have many senior brothers, the youngest one, is called Huang Longshi.”
The teenager habitually called out Grandpa Zhang, and curiously asked, “Is it the Huang Longshi who shares the same name as the Spring and Autumn Great Devil Huang Sanjia?”
The old man laughed it off.
