Chapter 429 – A jungle in the snow, someone has a beginning and an end

[One of the paragraphs is from the previous chapter of Pearl Curtain Chapter – Little Groundhog I Found You.]

Xiangfu four years.

Youzhou rouge county is very famous, the fame of the great, even the entire Central Plains have heard of, especially in the early years in the scholar’s popularity of the Jiangnan Road and the rich and powerful Guangling Road, and of course, not to mention the city of Tai’an, the most interested in the rouge county.

Because of rouge county aunt, especially water, should be that woman is really made of water, colorful but not vulgar, naturally charming and sentimental, even if it is growing in the poor countryside of rouge county women, still have a charm.

Only rouge county also has many not famous town, on which in a small county, but lived a once on the list of rouge evaluation of the beauty.

Pei Nanwei, the old Jing’an Wang Wangfei who should have died in love.

She is now guarding that not big but picked up clean small mansion, she rarely go out, raised a cage of chickens, and then often sit under the eaves, watching that the high and mighty old hen, with a luscious and lovely little chickens, blindly wandering around the yard, here peck there point, over time, she is a little boring, but she rather feel that such a boring day, it is really living life.

There is an inconspicuous young woman and the wind that the old crone, living far and near, the former will occasionally help to pour water into the tank, or send some of the town is destined to have the money can not buy small objects, rouge ah powder ah hairpin ah, bits and pieces, a variety of Pei Nanwei also accepted, the world’s women, regardless of the rich and poor, which do not want to be more beautiful some of their own. The face of the vicissitudes of the old woman is not to send things, just every now and then to the family door as a guest, there is a sentence without a sentence chat about trivial things, said the town which satin store Shu satin sold, but the old woman quickly said that eighty percent of the cheat, the pit of those silly girl’s private money it. Said the town’s southernmost blacksmith store son Liu Missy’s ugly daughter-in-law, even hooked up with the broken Causeway Lane, a young boy surnamed Zhang, it is difficult to say who took advantage of the end. The old woman also said that a kite had fallen from the roof of her house, and that the children were really naughty and mischievous.

The children are really naughty, up to the room to take the kite is just, there is a little brat standing on the roof towards the yard to pee, the result to her to the children’s door a good scolding.

Pei Nanwei listened patiently every time, but she mostly couldn’t remember, and forgot what she had heard.

Finally, one day, someone broke this quiet peace, is that child called Yu Di Long, he one person riding a horse unannounced, waist wearing a war sword, over the mountain dismounted posture, clean, fart-sized child looks extraordinarily old, she watched from the door with a smile, feel a little funny.

When Yu Di Long shouted out that title of master’s wife, Pei Nanwei laughed even more happily, not in a hurry to lead the child across the threshold of the small courtyard, asked, “Little bug, how many people have you shouted master’s wife?”

In fact, this child a few times before, are shouting Aunt Pei, now changed the fresh call, but also …… did not let her feel annoying.

Since that allusion of holding up the wall and walking away, it seems like it spread throughout Qingliang Mountain overnight, Yu Di Long has been on the saying that trouble comes out of the mouth, so profound that it can’t be any more profound.

However, facing Pei Nanwei, this child really couldn’t grow a memory, stretching out three fingers and grinning, ”Just three! But you, senior mistress, are the eldest mistress!”

Pei Nanwei glared and feinted, “Won’t you just say half a sentence?”

Yu Di Long looked surprised, “Huh? Just three?”

Pei Nanwei gave a hard knock on the head of this child who was just growing in size but not in heart, laughing in anger, “All learned from your master!”

Yu Di Long, whose face was so dark that it was almost as dark as charcoal, hemmed and hawed, his feet so cheerful that he walked into the courtyard with his master’s wife.

Yu Di Long liked to treat this place as his own home, that’s why he discussed with his master’s wife last time, in the future, when he saved enough money, he must build another house.

There were two small benches that had been placed under the eaves of the house, she did have the idea of buying a small bamboo chair, but then thought better of it, she had other plans.

After the two sat down, Pei Nanwei joked: “Little bug, what is the name of your master’s great disciple? Master’s mom forgot it.”

The originally lazy Yu Di Long immediately straightened his back, a bit vain, and whispered, “She ah, called Wang Sheng, that guy Lu Yun Chang said that it’s a dirt-cheap name. But I think it, actually okay.”

Pei Nanwei urgently pursued, “So what if Wang Sheng likes your master, just not you?”

Yu Di Long’s mouth opened wide in bewilderment.

She plowed on, “Hmm?”

Yu Di Long scratched his head, stared down at the tips of his shoes, and whispered, “I can’t beat Master either.”

Pei Nanwei cackled with laughter.

Yu Di Long quickly raised his head and said in a serious manner, “Senior Mother, if Wang Sheng she really likes Master, I will fight Master, but I’m not doing it to snatch Wang Sheng away!”

Now Pei Nanwei was really a bit puzzled, “How so?”

The child was filled with a serious look and held out a fist, “I just want Wang Sheng to know that you can like our Master, but it’s possible for a little bug to beat Master.”

Pei Nanwei was noncommittal, looking up at the courtyard entrance, softly saying, “Little Bug ah, to say that you’re stupid, you can be stupid, and to say that you’re smart, you’re also right.”

The child seemed a little depressed, hands resting on his chin, lost in thought.

Pei Nanwei rubbed his head and comforted, “It may be soon, but it may also be a long, long time before you realize one day that when you like someone, only that person doesn’t like you, although it’s not as good as two people liking each other, it’s a lot more fortunate than if you didn’t even have a favorite person.”

Yu Di Long scrunched his face and said pitifully, “Senior Mother, why does it sound so miserable.”

Pei Nanwei laughed and asked, “Do you think that Senior Mistress is happy or sad?”

She added, “If you answer correctly, Shifu Auntie will teach you how to pursue Wang Sheng.”

Yu Di Long carefully said, “Silly happy?”

The corners of Pei Nanwei’s mouth twitched.

Yu Di Long clutched his head in a swift motion, “Master Teacher! This is what Master unintentionally said!”

Pei Nanwei said in a pleasant manner, “You answered correctly.”

Yu Di Long was filled with surprise.

Pei Nanwei laughed, “But little bug ah, you’d better be an honest bachelor for the rest of your life.”

Surprisingly, Yu Di Long wasn’t sad, he just tilted his head and pinched his chin with two fingers, as if he was thinking very hard about something.

The boy coldly sat up straight, then slapped his thighs, “Forget it, it’s better to wait until I come back from Hulukou alive!”

Pei Nanwei was startled, “What’s wrong?”

Yu Di Long pulled out a money pouch and solemnly handed it over to Pei Nan Wei, “Shifu Niang, this is my soldier’s pay after I became the captain of the Youzhou cavalry, so you might as well continue to save it for me. Shi Niang! If one day you hear that I died in battle outside of Guanzhou, remember not to grieve for the little worm.”

Pei Nanwei frowned, “You’re going to fight outside the pass?”

Yu Di Long looked around and lowered his voice, “Senior Niang! This can’t be said, leaking military information, according to the Northern Liang law is to be clicked a bit! I’m a Scout Captain, I have to set an example!”

The child made a wiping his neck and rolling his eyes motion in passing.

Pei Nanwei put away the money bag, “Alright, I’ll keep it for you.”

Yu Di Long stood up, “Senior Mother, if I die, don’t tell Wang Sheng that I like her.”

Pei Nanwei laughed and asked, “Then if you come back alive, Shifu Niang will tell her?”

Yu Di Long hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Don’t, don’t, don’t even say it!”

Pei Nanwei asked, “Anyway, it’s all about Shifu Auntie not telling her, so what do you want by mentioning this?”

Yu Di Long was suddenly confused, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Pei Nanwei got up and poked the child’s head hard with her finger, “Little bug, with this paste brain of yours, you will be that land scaly dragon in the future?!”

Yu Di Long was resentful, striding down the steps, turning his head and waving his hand, “Master Maiden, don’t send me off ah!”

Pei Nanwei didn’t have the good sense to say, “Go go go, hurry up.”

After Yu Di Long walked out of the gate, Pei Nan Wei suddenly heard the child’s surprised voice, “Master? Why are you here? The battle is over?!”

Pei Nanwei subconsciously then walked quickly down the steps, and just as she was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, she snapped out of it, stopping her figure as she laughed loudly and cursed, “Little bastard!”

The child outside the mansion laughed loudly and steered his horse away, yelling, “Let’s go! Auntie misses Master!”

Now at the turn of spring and summer, the woman who came from the Pei Valve in Spring and Autumn suddenly remembered a small poem, the content of which was word for word, but she forgot the title of the poem and the author’s name.

Quietly looking at the green wall, leisurely looking at the green forest. The warbler has nothing to do, the sound is far away from the shade of Ficus.

The green wall, the green forest, the warbler, the pumice.

I think the reason why she remembers, because of these lovely scenery of Jiangnan, are a young girl, and she is close at hand, the more within reach, the more I do not know how to cherish.

After becoming the consort of the king of Liyang, imprisoned within the high walls, tired of poetry, only gradually come into contact with some of the past do not like the border poems, just those words in the verse back and forth, the draftsman, the frosty moon, Qiang flute, reed pipe, wild geese.

At this time Pei Nanwei looked around, yellow mud walls, green sparse, no birdsong, already hot summer.

High-rise boudoir of the people?

That also need to have a tall building to live.

Pei Nanwei thought of here, then really some anger, she is alone in this small county town wood, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar and tea, of course, can only be related to money.

Since the last time and that is nominally a county chief of the guy to go to the county office of Bishan County, successfully asked to owe a long time of twenty taels of silver salary, the county magistrate Feng Jade for some reason soon to be transferred, replace the original chief of the “Xu Qi” position Yang Gongshou will be succeeded by the county magistrate, the county lieutenant is still with the new magistrate from the same adults from the Green Deer Cave Academy of the Zhu Tassel, both are going to the Liang scholar. Both of them are the scholar who went to Liang. At that time she and he went to the county government office that trip, ran into two scholar, Yang Gongshou also hired someone to play a hero to save the poor play, but unfortunately at that time surnamed Xu a glance on the see through, with his words is that I’m a playboy in the line in the founding fathers, when the northern Liang I do not know how many anointed son of the dust in the back of my ass to eat ash, like to learn from the example of the picture of a tiger like a dog.

Pei Nanwei angry place is Yang Gongshou won the county magistrate, Bishan County, the position of the main thin did not routinely continue to fill the vacancy, but re-hang up the name of Xu Qi, but Bishan County Yamen side gave a “Xu Qi” since not to go to the dawn on duty, then the salary halved the argument. It is said that this is still the lieutenant Zhu Ying and the new county magistrate at all costs to argue with the result, otherwise to Yang magistrate’s intention, the main Xu Qi not even want to get a coin in hand. Probably the magistrate’s mind is figured out by the magistrates, especially those who work in the magistrate’s office as a woman, she is the main wife is treated like an enemy, oil, rice, salt, cloth and other things, to her, all more expensive. The young woman of unknown origin originally wanted to purchase on behalf of the purchase, but was Pei Nanwei refused, Pei Nanwei preferred to buy their own, but also intentionally bring a few heavy silver ingots, of course, silver can not be used, store side can not be found, but when the

When the women were looking at the silver ingots, Pei Nanwei’s heart was soothing.

That kind of feeling is like saying, bully my man is not there right, but my man can leave his woman so much silver, he also dare to rest assured, but you these long-mouthed women’s men, have this ability?

Pei Nanwei’s exasperation also lies in the fact that your disciple Yu Di Long has been able to earn so much silver, and you, as a master, don’t know to send some slightly to your home?

As long as she thought of having to use up a certain silver ingot for copper, her heart ached terribly.

Out of the corner of her eye, Pei Nanwei caught a glimpse of the old hen in the yard, as if she was a great general patrolling the territory with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, she was immediately furious and walked quickly towards them, stomping on the ground as hard as she could, scaring the hens and chicks into scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Pei Nanwei snorted coldly and crossed her arms, a little smug.

There was a young man who happened to be standing at the entrance of the courtyard, who happened to see this scene after his eyes froze and he was in a trance.

He looked at the shapely back that had its back turned to him, and his hand, which was holding a cloth bag, had sweaty palms.

He is now named Zhu Ying, is one of the thousands of scholars who followed the Shangyin Academy Palace Wang Priest to rush to Northern Liang, if the scholars at that time to the Yu family first eldest grandson of the Yu Luan knife is the most famous in the world, in fact, if he uses his real name, his fame is by no means in the Yu Luan knife under the Yu Luan knife.

The world of science, South Zhu North Yao!

Yao Baifeng, the master of science, has stepped down as the left priest of the Imperial College and returned to his hometown to continue his lectures.

And Jing’an Road Zhu’s children, has always been reluctant to serve, “Zhu Ying” grandfather in the Spring and Autumn will be known as the “Divine Monarch”, and the Palace of Qi Yanglong deep relationship, Zhu Ying’s father’s generation of this area, the seven jointly famous scholarly circles, known as the Zhu’s Seven Dragons, but also with that year’s “The seven men of Zhu’s father’s generation were known as the Seven Dragons of Zhu’s family, and they were also listed alongside the “Lu’s family of Jiangnan, with a wide range of colors.

Zhu Ying’s real name is Zhu Ying, Zhu’s eldest grandson!

Even if it is incognito, alias Zhu Ying, pretend to be Zhu’s side branch of the concubine son, Zhu Ying by virtue of their own knowledge and vision, still in the Qinglu Cave Academy, a number of times, the master of the academy, Huang Shang invited to go to the Qinglu Cave lectures on Confucianism, have been forced by Zhu Ying to get off the stage, woeful, and even an old Confucianism but also to the hall to ask the question to Zhu Ying to solve the puzzle. Only Zhu Tassel in the Liang scholars in the reputation is not obvious, at most some arrogant and noble reputation, but his articles that have not been made public, such as the young king at that time and Pei Nanwei said, has long been in the whisking water room desk, and even Xu Weixiong were alarmed, will be highly regarded as a not familiar with Xu Beihao Chen Xiliang too much of the young talent, Zhu Tassel in the whisking water room code name “Phoenix Zhu Ying’s codename in the Waterworks was also known as “Phoenix”, which was already on par with the “Great Luan” of Yu Luan’s sword!

Zhu Ying, or rather Zhu Ying, realized that her lips were dry and she did not know how to speak.

Unlike Yang Gongshou, who was amazed by her when he first saw her, Zhu Ying only felt that her face was not bad, but he did not have any charming thoughts, except that once in the street after the rain, he overheard her squatting by the side of the street, breaking a piece of dry cake in his hand and gently feeding it to a yellow-brown kitten covered with mud.

It was hard for him to let it go again.

He knew that even though he was not the first grandson of the Zhu Clan, it was unreasonable to think of a lonely woman who lived alone.

But he couldn’t help it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, the woman had turned around, frowned at him, and asked, “Who are you?”

Zhu Ying’s heart was instantly like ashes.

A year, although never spoke, but after all, or close or far to see each other times, fifteen or sixteen times?

Zhu Ying’s face is pale, lips trembling, can not say a word.

He wanted to raise the money bag in his hand, wanted to say that this is that the Xu main thin last month’s salary, I Zhu Tassel as Bishan County Yamen colleague, just come here to send silver money for the lady.

Foggy Pei Nanwei nonchalantly reached out and pointed at this dumb chicken, “What’s wrong with you? Get lost!”

She ran to the corner and copied a broom, glaring angrily and aggressively.

The young reader, eerily turned around.

Pei Nanwei naturally didn’t know the young man’s journey of heart, would just because of that move she made on the wheel street, would be emotionally unaware.

But with Pei Nanwei’s nature, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care, I’m afraid she would still repeat her previous thoughtless words: there is something wrong with it.

As for many years later, clearly in the northern Liang official rise of Zhu Ying, why eventually in the Liang party as the time of the day, resolutely rebelled from the Liang party, to the identity of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice, with the dynasty and the field known as the “iron bones” of the celebrity style, and hard many times to press down the Liang party’s rising stars of the officialdom of the advancement, no one knows! No one knows why Zhu Ying, the “Iron Squire”, acted in such a way and why he knew that his disobedience would stop at the position of Squire. Eventually soon to the official minister Zhu Ying, gave up the family to join hands with a number of parties in exchange for the opportunity to give up the Ministry of Rites to serve as a minister, resigned but did not return to his hometown, but to go to the North Liang Road can be said to be full of political rivals, in the state of Youzhu to open the school, become a generation of science master, the reputation of the former dynasty, not lost to the Yao Baifeng. And Zhu Ying’s life, in addition to the marriage of the family marriage, only in the rouge county of Youzhou in the late years of a concubine, the concubine is young and beautiful, at the age of 28 years, Zhu Ying has long been gray hair.

Has been gray hair, this move also makes Zhu Ying quite criticized by the Central Plains, was a poem “a branch of the pear blossom pressure begonia” ridicule, Zhu Ying do not think, died of old age in Beiliang Road, the court posthumous name Wenzhen.

Until Zhu Ying resigned and died in Beiliang, the pattern of all parties in the court to counterbalance the Liang party, is still not reversed.

Once in Bishan County over Zhu everyone head of the county magistrate Yang Gongshou, but through the identity of the cool party official fortune, and finally became the two Huai Road Secretary, and Zhu Ying has been a good relationship.

In rushed to the northern Liang Youzhou to pay tribute to his friend, Yang Gongshou suddenly saw that the young woman wearing mourning clothes, and the two of them early in the town of Bishan County to see that woman, as if the eyebrows are similar to four or five points.

Originally in the best friend’s spiritual hall only showed a little sadness, the Lord Secretary General, suddenly came from grief, full of tears.

At this moment, with a broom to drive away the unknown “dengtu zi” woman, sitting under the eaves, the old crone soon came to visit, and began to ramble, but compared to the previous parents of trivial trivial, the old crone said more hearsay from the war outside the Guanwai, said that the North Mang barbarians almost can not hold out, Liangzhou refused to the north side of the city, the war from last fall to this summer, the war was over. From last fall to this summer, I do not know how many thousands of dead barbarians, once the summer, not to mention the start of the siege, just piles of corpses will be difficult to deal with, even more difficult to get through. Pei Nanwei listened absent-mindedly, a little sleepy, yawning, suddenly saw the younger woman walked into the courtyard, sitting on the dirt steps at their feet, the old crone suddenly eyes stern up, the young woman sheepishly lowered her head.

Pei Nanwei had always been called a fool by someone, but a woman from a powerful warlord who was able to become the consort of a feudal king, of course, would not be truly stupid, just too many things to bother about.

Probably too bored, Pei Nanwei used her finger to poke the back of that beautiful woman, opened her mouth and asked with a smile: ”Something on your mind? Tell me about it, maybe I can help you.”

The pretty woman’s head lowered even further.

The crone hurriedly spoke out to stop, “Pei Niangzi, how can Xiao Yang have anything on her mind, she is a daughter of a small family ……”

Pei Nanwei smiled and said, “Okay, she is still a small family ah, the roots belong to that Qingliang Mountain woman, maybe even that guy has heard of the name, otherwise there is no way to sit here with granny you. Today, let’s treat this as a normal neighborhood, no whisking rooms, no eagle houses, no feudal lords, no Mount Qingliang, how about it? Just say some whispered words between women, no harm, anyway, the three of us do not say it, no one knows. Little Yang …… will first take your surname Yang well, say it, like it, Pei sister and Zhao granny together to give you a plan plan.”

The young female dead soldier raised her head and looked at the old woman apprehensively, and the latter sighed and nodded, “Only this time, not allowed to have a next time!”

The former timidly said, “Sister Pei, I like ……”

She couldn’t say any more when she got here.

The old woman grunted coldly with a stern face, “Yang Gongshou, the county magistrate, an embroidered pillow, but also claimed to be some kind of poetic sword fairy, last year spent twenty-six taels of silver to hire someone to be in front of the king and Pei’s girl, and don’t mind the disgrace! You are blind to look at this kind of worldly son!”

The young woman pursed up her lips, a bit grumpy, but didn’t dare to retort.

Pei Nanwei, however, was amused and couldn’t help but encourage the young girl, saying, “This is what the books say about a talented man and a beautiful woman, it’s quite good. Xiao Yang, don’t give Zhao Granny scared, although you are all surnamed Yang, if you are outside of the North Liang Road, especially in similar Jiangnan Road this kind of bookish family more places, there is some trouble, why is it, because before the Great Qin does not suspect that the marriage of a family name, but after the Great Qin began to eliminate the marriage of the same family name, that is to say, after the Great Qin, the same family name is not intermarried, it has become a successive generations of the court does not care, but the readers love to manage the unwritten rules. Unwritten rules, but after the Spring and Autumn eight countries, even the top ten valves are gone, not too much attention to these. However, the magistrate surnamed Yang, I guess the size of the Central Plains side is also a family, otherwise it is not qualified to come to us in Northern Liang, and even more so quickly when a county parents, so small Yang you ah, if the elders of the family do not mind, it is best to temporarily change the surname …….”

Marriage from the family name all the way to the Central Plains family style, and then to the courtyard deep in the women fighting for favor, and finally to the high walls of the various houses of the fight, talking about the mother by the son as well as the common people for the unattainable those enjoined wife.

Pei Nanwei in the end is when the high Pei valve carefully cultivated out of the woman, the academic reasoning told in depth, not only the young women listen to concentrate, even the original attitude of listening to the old woman, are listening to some of the fascination.

Pei Nanwei said spirited, young female soldiers listen to the glowing eyes, the old woman listened to frequently nodded.

Especially Pei Nanwei hand in hand to teach the young girl, how to pretend to be a woman of the scholarly family, how to talk about how to pay attention to the bite of the words, which poems and books should be read, and how to talk with the man you like to talk about, how to talk about it, the age difference between the two spies are very eye-opening, only to feel that the same is to be a woman!

The woman named Pei Nanwei is a first-class master. Worthy of being the first person in the world who can make our king “hold up the wall and walk away”!

Pei Nanwei said glowing, is trying to say that the woman’s boudoir the most obscure matter of raw rice, the result of the back of the head gently received a chestnut, from behind her came a warm voice, “no you so shameless woman! Your man is also too ignorant of the rules and regulations of the family!”

The two spies of the water whisking room, like being struck by lightning, got up violently, and then quickly went to the bottom of the steps, kneeling down on one knee, not daring to breathe a single breath.

Their eyes stared at the ground, in addition to the panic of being caught off guard, there was also reverence from the bottom of their hearts, and the heat that arose from the bottom of their hearts.

Ten years to cultivate Song Yushu, a hundred years to cultivate Xu Fengnian, a thousand years to cultivate Lu Dongxuan.

Not to mention that life happens to be just a hundred years.

Pei Nanwei gamely did not turn her head.

The man squatted down beside her and smiled softly at the two Water Flushing Room elites in the courtyard, ”Get up, I’ve worked hard on the two of you these days. Don’t be formal when you arrive here in the future, it’s quite good to still be like today, so as not to be dead.”

The two of them stood up and nodded.

The man looked at the blushing young dead man, “Yang Gongshou, right? Don’t worry, I will help match you up, turn around and give you a new scholarly identity first, but for the time being, you need to stay in Bishan County.”

He nodded to the old crone, who understood and left the courtyard with Da Fu from heaven’s whisking water room latecomers.

Pei Nanwei still did not turn his head, “Is the battle over?”

He sighed, “Rejecting the North City has held, the Northern Mang barbarians are not quite able to injure the fundamentals, and the remaining less than 200,000 troops have always retreated without chaos, so it is estimated that we will still have to fight one more time, but the victory is already on our side of Bei Liang. I’m going to make a trip outside of the Jizhou Pass to meet that old East Vietnam’s extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, and by the way, there are some other people I need to greet as well, I don’t feel at ease with other people going.”

She suddenly turned around and hugged him over, holding him in her arms as hard as she could.

With red eyes, she childishly cried, “I won’t let you go!”

A slurred voice came out from between her majestic breasts, “Then you don’t want to smother me …… here ……”

Her face was red in an instant, and she fiercely pushed away this son of a bitch who had gotten the better of her.

Xu Fengnian was pushed out at the same time, casually waved his sleeve and flicked a finger into the distance.

On the courtyard wall, Lu Yun Chang, who was originally squatting there to watch the show, was hit in the forehead by that finger flick and landed with a thud, falling in the alley outside the courtyard.

The young girl Wang Sheng had her sword case on her back with her hands around her chest, and she sneered when she saw the wretched Lu Yunchang standing up.

Yu Di Long who stumbled upon his master’s trio outside the town only had to return together, very tangled in his face, neither daring to look at Wang Sheng more than once.

Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Come with me to the town’s restaurant and buy wine for Master!”

Yu Di Long let out an oh and didn’t think much about it.

Lu Yun Chang said with a bad smile, “You two just go and buy the wine, I’ll stay here and keep an eye out for Master in case the assassins sneak in.”

Wang Sheng, who carried a box and wore a sword, reached out and pressed the hilt of one of the swords, and Lu Yunchang raised his hands, “Get it, get it, I’m afraid of you.”

Yu Di Long looked bewildered.

Lu Yun Chang shook his head and sighed, “Yu earthworm ah, why do you think you are not enlightened?”

Yu Di Long’s aura changed abruptly, “One on one?!”

Lu Yun Chang had a bit of a headache, he really couldn’t beat this earthworm.

Just at this moment, only to see the master teacher’s mother has walked out of the courtyard door together, Wang Sheng eyes hidden at the bottom of some inexplicable delight.

Pei Nanwei sent all the way for the master and disciple four to the corner of the alley, then she quickly turned around and left.

The four of them walked on that rolled street, and only Yu Dilong, who originally needed to immediately rush to the gourd mouth of Youzhou, led his horse.

Xu Feng Nian suddenly said, “Yu Di Long, nowadays, there is a kid named Gou You Fang in Wudang Mountain, you should pay more attention in the future.”

Yu Dilong was surprised, “Ah? Why?”

Xu Fengyin played with the flavor: “Xie Guanying, Deng Tai’a, and the Zhang family’s first sage, all count as half of his master, and in the future, he may have to add half of the Wudang Sect Leader Li Yuaxe, why do you think?”

Yu Di Long gave a salty oh, obviously still not much care.

Xu Fenian coldly grunted, “Lu Yun Chang, I remind you not to make bad intentions, remember?!”

Lu Yun Chang made a face and clasped his hands to the back of his head, “Got it.”

Xu Fengnian smiled, “Your opponent, too, will come.”

Lu Yun Chang instantly jumped up, “What kind of god?!”

Xu Fenian inexplicably said, “A character who has the potential to become the third in the world, and younger than you.”

Xu Fengyen was prophetic.

And the chair of the third expert in the world was always held in the hands of a woman with a sword.

Her surname was Tao.

Xu Fengyen looked back and shouted, “At most three or four more years, go to Jiangnan together.”

In the alleyway, Pei Nanwei, who had been hiding in place and had not left, the corner of her mouth secretly curled up.

She spread out her arms, her fingertips gently touching the walls of the alley, her footsteps briskly walking towards the small courtyard.

Because she felt that it was only three or four years, she wasn’t old then.

On the Guangling River, on top of a brightly lit Yellow Dragon Houseboat, a pair of men and women stood side by side on the bow enjoying the scenery.

The young man wearing the python robe of the Clan King of Liyang said softly, “I’ve let you suffer.”

The stunningly beautiful woman gently held his hand and shook her head as she smiled gently.

The young vassal king slapped heavily on the railing, “This Song Kasa, bold and daring! Wait for this king ……”

She suddenly covered his mouth.

The young vassal king held her hand, looked sad, turned to stare at her face that no matter how to look at it, he squeezed out a smile, “Don’t worry, I Zhao Xun is not so bad as to be demoralized!”

Liyang three major feudal kings, Yan Ci Wang Zhao Bing, Shu Wang Chen Zhi Bao, Jing An Wang Zhao Xun, three people join hands in rebellion, in which Zhao Bing to get the most curses, Chen Zhi Bao is most feared and scorned, and Zhao Xun is most people’s wrists sigh.

Even if the court all know Zhao Xun future will be pushed by the remaining two major vassal king on the throne, but there are still many away from the Yang Wenchen, firmly believe that the young vassal king is in the Chunxue building mutiny in the forcible imprisonment, is the Zhao Chen two people used to deceive the world’s poor puppets.

Tai’an City in fact only guessed half right, Zhao Xun is not willing to start a rebellion is true, but to say that Zhao Xun did not usurp the throne to ascend the throne of the heart, is false.

Vassal jurisdiction is located in the central plains of the waist brawn of the Jing’an king two generations of the vassal king, from Zhao Heng to Zhao Xun, never have stag the world’s ambition. This point, two generations of the king of northern Liang know, Liyang former emperor Yuan Benxi know, once served as a staff in the king’s office of the blind Lu Dang know, today’s Nalan right Ci also know.

Zhao Xun regretted why he did not want to believe the paper, the handwriting on the paper, he is not unfamiliar, is the handwriting of the blind man’s side maid, want him Zhao Xun in Wu Chongxuan to pacify the war in the Guangling Road, quickly move to return to the jurisdiction of the Jing’an Road.

But Zhao Xun would like to personally take the woman around him to enjoy the scenery of Guangling Road, and would like to have a good relationship with those who are bound to rise in the court. That’s why he decided to leave Guangling Road after attending the celebration banquet at the Spring and Snow Building.

Then it is today’s situation, at first Zhao Xun also think it is a blessing in disguise, because someone personally told him that he will help him Zhao Xun to call himself emperor, Zhao Xun, no matter what the conspiracy, choose to believe, after all, that person said this kind of words, more than the Yan Ci Wang Zhao Bing personally said, but also can make people believe.

The reason is very simple, that person, called Nalan Right Ci.

Just recently this period of time, Zhao Xun had a very stifling depressed, that was once the spring snow building origin of the general Song Kasa, was once all in the Guangling Road in the departure of the Yang officials, rank second only to the section minister Lu Baijie, the Secretary of the King Xionggui’s deputy section minister. Now in the northern line of war success, more and more arrogant and domineering, even not long ago boarded the building ship, smiling open, shamelessly ask for their own side of the woman!

Zhao Xun was so angry that his body trembled, but in the end did not say half a harsh word.

After all, Song Kasa did not dare to openly snatch the building ship, the city was scolded by Tai’an “three surnames of family slaves” Xiangfu famous generals, but also did not forget to disembark before the “kind” to remind the young king: “to the old Wangfei’s age, and then face permanent, and can have a few years of elegance. I’d rather give it to me, Song Kasagin. Why don’t you give it to me, Song Kasa, and I’ll pay you back!”

The world has known for a long time that there is a general named Song in Guangling Road, who is not only the beloved of Zhao Yi, the King of Guangling, but also regarded as a blessed general by Zhao Yi, and is fond of collecting beautiful women from all over the world. After the restoration of Western Chu, the army of Liyang court finally broke through the capital of Western Chu, Song Kasa naturally harvested a lot of money, and sent out the feeling of “I hate that Jiang’s empress has died in the Western Wall”. Then Zhao Bing’s army occupied this ill-fated city, Song Kasa even with the Liyang Zhennan General’s prominent position, decisively chose to rely on the King of Yan Ci, Song Kasa can not be empty-handed? Rumor has it that even King Zhao Bing of Yanzhi jokingly asked “General Song, do you need to buy a mansion to keep a beautiful woman?” during one of his reward banquets. The highly respected Song Kasa replied with one sentence, which made all the men in the audience sigh with admiration, “Both of them are more than enough!” Yan Zhi Wang even clapped his hands and made a promise on the spot, “I will never let General Song down in this life! In the future, when the Central Plains Rouge Review comes out, there will be one of the most beautiful women on the list to be sent to the Song residence!”

Besides, Song Kasa was not only trusted by King Zhao Bing of Yanzhi, who boldly granted him military power, Song Kasa and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Zhui of Yanzhi had a close relationship, and they called each other brothers and sisters.

In the face of Song Kasa such a red man, empty title of a feudal king Zhao Xun, and how to deal with?

Zhao Xun frowned, looking out over the river those sailors ship starry lights.

She reached out to help him smooth his forehead.

He smiled, “Go, back to the cabin!”

The two returned to the luxury of the cage, there is a beautifully crafted carved hanger in the cabin, on the hanger, is a rich and magnificent yellow dragon robe!

When Nalan Yuci came to the door as a guest, the only surviving strategist of the Spring and Autumn Period, followed by a handmaiden holding a dragon robe.

This period of time since, Liyang Clan King Zhao Xun time and again stroked the dragon robe, time and again eyes obsessed, silently counting that a golden dragon.

Tonight, he once again came to the hanger, reached out and touched the golden dragon on the dragon robe, and finally even squatted down and touched the bottom of those “seawater Jiangya”.

This young man suddenly raised his head to look at her, asked with a smile, “Do you know, this dragon robe four positive dragons and four rows of dragons, clearly see only eight golden dragons, the number of why is not the nine in the nine of five?”

She thought for a moment, “the emperor is the real dragon son of heaven, wearing a dragon robe is nine?”

He got up and laughed, reached out and pinched her cheek, shook his head and said, “You’re wrong, the last golden dragon is embroidered on the inner lapel, if you don’t believe me, go and lift the lapel and take a look.”

She hesitated for a while, never touching that piece of clothing that all men in the world dream of.

Zhao Xun suddenly took down that dragon robe and told the woman to stand still, then he actually helped her put on that dragon robe!

She was frozen on the spot from beginning to end, not knowing what to do.

After Zhao Xun meticulously helped the woman to correct the lapel of the dragon robe, he took a few steps back, his eyes reddened, and laughed softly, “I know, there are a lot of people in the Jing’an Road to scold you for being some kind of female feudal king, saying that you are a scourge of the red-colored woman, but I don’t care.”

She wanted to say something.

Zhao Xun let the tears flow, “I know you are not her, not her …… I also do not care who you are who is planted in my side of the spy dead, at first care, now do not care at all …… Why? I like you ah, I just like you ah. Even if you change a face now, I still like you ……”

Shu Shy bit her lips and seeped out wisps of blood.

Zhao Xun suddenly revealed a smiling face, bent down and bowed, and softly said, “Husband has met your mother.”

The candle flame inside the room was bright.

She wore a dragon robe, like a woman wearing a wedding dress.

She slowly gave a ten thousand blessings and said in a gentle voice, “Your Majesty.”

The same was on the surface of the Guangling River, the same was in the Yellow Dragon Houseboat.

Dressed in civilian clothes, King Zhao Bing of Yanzhi was sitting on an embroidered stool and was raising his cup to sip.

Although the old man was not wearing a feudal king’s python robe or iron armor, he had accumulated a great deal of power, in fact, among the many royal sons of Liyang who participated in the seizure of the throne in that year, it was Zhao Bing who had the most notable battle achievements, and he was the first person of the Zhao clan that deserved the title of the first person of the Zhao clan.

Legend has it that Zhao Bing, on his way to the feudal king’s residence from the capital, when he was crossing the Guangling River, he raised his whip and looked northward, and asked the strategist beside him with a smile, “Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, Zhao Heng, the king of Jing’an, Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, and Zhao Suo, the king of Jiaodong, all of these guys put together, is half of the military function of me?”

A handsome and extraordinary middle-aged man leaning against the window, looking sideways toward the monstrous river, three fingers holding a cup gently twisting.

In the southern frontier civil and military heart how to kill and decisive Yan Zhi Wang, Zhao Bing sighed heavily, rather helpless: “Sir, can’t let go of those two brats? At least leave them alive, they won’t be able to toss up waves in the future anyway.”

Nalan Righteousness did not turn his head and said blandly, “Rabbit cubs? Both of them are your Zhao Bing’s own sons, why are you cursing yourself?”

Zhao Bing was speechless.

Nalan Righteousness continued, “The two sons of the hallowed King Yanzhi, deliberately leaking military information to Tai’an City, almost letting His Royal Highness the Shizi die in battle on the southern battlefield of the capital, not to mention the two sons, even if their old man dared to do so, I would have to have someone beat them to death.”

Zhao Bing rolled his eyes and said in a jarring voice, “I’m afraid of you.”

Nalan right Ci finally turned his head and said: “Do you want a steady sitting in the dragon chair of the only son, or do you want to wear the dragon robe not a few years of work, as a second death of the country’s ragged founding emperors?”

Zhao Bing is very headache look waved his hand and said: “Mr. said! Damn reasoning, I can win over Mr. once in my life.”

Nalan Yuanci smiled and asked, “Then I’ll pass the order down and bring two cups of wine for the boy to drink.”

Zhao Bing again immediately blushed in embarrassment and bowed his head.

Nalan Yuci also does not force this vassal king to decide immediately, turning his head again to look out of the window, as if talking to himself, “After all, a tiger’s poison does not eat its child, if you can even do this kind of thing without any hesitation, I, Nalan Yuci, would not have assisted you to this point today, and, of course, I would not be able to live now.”

Zhao Bing put down his wine cup, clenched his hands into fists, and heavily exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, “Just follow what mister said! I, Zhao Bing, will pretend that I never gave birth to these two sons!”

Nalan Righteousness nodded, “You, with such a good son as Zhao Zhu, you should be content. Look at the old Jing’an King Zhao Heng’s son, that Zhao Xun who dreamed of being an emperor, in the end, he couldn’t even protect his beloved woman. You look at the son of the king of Beiliang Xu Snapdragon, Xu Fengnian …….”

The first half of the sentence is quite warm-hearted, but this second half? Zhao Bing couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “Stop stop stop! Shame on you, isn’t it? You readers have a bad taste in your mouths!”

Nalan Yuanci laughed it off.

Zhao Bing mood a few points better, gently advised: “The river wind, Mr. body and …… all in all, or do not stand in the window blowing the wind.”

Nalan right Ci sat back on the stool, poured a cup of wine for Zhao Bing, said slowly: “The ancients are the most interesting, that is, kind of piles and pieces, most of them have a pain to the heart of the story. Unfortunately, ah, rouge in the most famous red cheeks, is tribute, the people have money can not buy. It’s also a pity that the daughter’s red in the flower carving is actually not good at all.”

Zhao Bing took the wine cup, drinking the cup of daughter red that is said to be buried in the ground for more than ten years, deeply thought: “This wine is not good to drink!”

Nalan Righteousness lamented, “The use of a reader is to take all the ‘interesting’ of the ancients, drink it, eat it, read it, write it, and pass it on.”

Zhao Bing asked, “Then people like me and Cripple Xu?”

Nalan right Ci laughed: “You ah, let the reader’s day do not he comfortable, the only use, is to not let the reader forget to forget it.”

Zhao Bing reached out and picked up a piece of soy sauce beef of the small dishes under the wine, chewing slowly, silent for a long time before nodding: “Some taste!”

Nalan right Ci bluntly said: “Do not pretend to understand, almost thirty years, or dog can not change to eat shit.”

Zhao Bing did not think, laughed loudly, “again to Mr. poke through!”

Reminiscent of the year, the two first met in the capital city of Liyang, when Liyang is still just a corner of the northern barbarians of the country, Zhao Bing is only one of the many princes of low prestige.

At that time in the seat of four people, three familiar, Prince Zhao Bing, miscellaneous general Xu Snapdragon, cold Li Yishan, Nalan right Ci.

Among the four, on the contrary, it is the luxury valves from Nalan Yu Ci reputation is the most prosperous, Zhao Bing Xu Snapu are far inferior, as for Li Yishan is not comparable.

That time we met, after drinking, Zhao Bing will step on the bench, as much as possible to show the arrogance of the loud laugh: “I knew that drinking to pee, do not know the first time to drink pee!”

Then Nalan Ruoci, who was as graceful as a god, laughed coldly: “If you knew you had to shit for dinner, why didn’t you eat shit in the first place?”

Zhao Bing could not sit still and fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Zhao Bing only remembers that at that time Xu Snapdragon extended his thumbs toward Nalan Yu Ci, and Li Yishan shook his head without saying anything.

His day in another year, this year at this time.

Two of the four had already died, and fortunately for the two who were alive, not only were they alive, but they were also able to sit opposite each other and drink together.

Zhao Bing looked at this strategist whose style still captured people’s eyes, and softly said, “Sir, the greatest good fortune in Zhao Bing’s life is to have you with him for thirty years.”

This Spring and Autumn strategist never married and had children in his life.

Regardless of Nalan Righteousness’ original intention, Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing knew in his heart that if this Mr. Nalan had an heir, the world in the future, there would be a lot of variables, just like Xu Snapdragon’s case of the capital white case immediately after he had his firstborn son.

Zhao Bing might not be as ruthless as the old emperor, but he would definitely be like a fish in the throat.

Zhao Bing poured a glass of wine for Nalan Yu Ci, “There is a young general named Guo Dongfeng under Lu Shengxiang’s hand, it’s quite tricky. Even Zhang Dingyuan and Gu Ying suffered losses one after another.”

Nalan Righteousness laughed, “You are allowed to have a great general, but not a good general in Liyang?”

The Southern Border Infantry Generals Zhang Dingyuan and Gu Ying, Yuanzhou General Ye Xufeng, Heshu General Liang Yue, and Tanghe Li Chunyu under Wu Chongxuan’s command were all quite impressive generals.

Together with Song Kasa, Yuan Ting Shan and Qi Shen Ce, a large number of court generals, as well as that white-robed soldier saint under the hands of Deng Xiong Zu, Wei Fu Cheng and others, absolutely enough to defeat the Li Yang that the city of Tai’an!

On the other hand, under the hands of young Zhao Zhuan, there are only Lu Shengxiang, Tang Tieshuang, Xu Gong, Yang Huchen, and so on, just to name a few.

Of course, there are many others in Tai’an who know how to manage the army, but they may not have the chance to lead the army, such as King Zhao Yang of Changshan, Duke Gao Shizhi of Yan, and Marquis Song Daoning of Huaiyang.

When it comes to the world, the general trend is the most important thing!

A drum north of the Guangling River, is the big trend, pulling together Jing’an King Zhao Xun, again is the big trend, successfully turned against Wu Chongxuan, or the big trend!

In fact, in this process, Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing did not consume much strength, but as long as is clear-eyed people, know that the world trend has been reversed to his Zhao Bing.

Of course, the real battle bitter war dead war still have to fight, want to finally seize the world, especially the rebellion, never what once and for all a hammer business, even after sitting on the dragon chair, may also be repeated for more than ten years.

However, all this, Nalan right Ci have long been given to respond to the policy, may not be able to do not drop waterproof all, but Zhao Bing is not really as rumored that, just a marionette like mediocre vassal king, his title of the vassal king, only worse than the different surnames of the king of the gold of the Xu Snapdragon only!

To put it bluntly, if Zhao Bing can still lose after Mr. Nalan single-handedly created this great situation, he would really go eat shit.

Zhao Bing suddenly lowered his voice and asked, “Is it true that Chen Zhi Bao is allowed to lead 80,000 troops to attack Jizhou?”

After Chen Zhi Bao rushed to the Central Plains, totaling 60,000 Xi Shu foot soldiers, this time Zhao Bing gave this white-clothed soldier saint another 20,000 elite cavalry, and it was a well-deserved 20,000 elite cavalry.

Nalan Righteousness said flatly, “Under the sky, under the sky, there is no more room for him, not even that standing place.”

Zhao Bing frowned, “Dare I ask sir, how can I see that?”

Nalan Yuanci replied, “What kind of light was Zhang Julu in the temple hall of Liyang before his death?”

Zhao Bing slowly drank and pondered over it, finally looking up and laughing to himself, “Can’t quite figure it out, but since Mr. said so, I’ll think so.”

Nalan Yuanci sighed and said with a complex expression, “Zhao Bing, there are so many lords in the world, but why is it that you are the last to get the world, not without reason.”

Zhao Bing grinned and asked, “Sir, are you praising me?”

Nalan Yuanci said in a bad mood, “There’s no more wine.”

Zhao Bing then stood up and whispered, “Rest early, the big picture has been decided, so mister shouldn’t work too hard and take too much trouble, this king still has to return to Tai’an City with mister.”

Nalan Righteousness nodded.

After Yan Zhi Wang walked out of the cabin, he murmured to the five stunning maidservants outside the house, “Take care of mister!”

Dongyue, Xishu, Fengdu, the three corpses, and multiply the shoes.

The five maidservants softly led the order.

After Zhao Bing walked out a few steps, he turned his head to one of the women and reminded, “Multiply the Cake, hurry in and add a fur to Mister!”

That maidservant smiled sweetly and hurriedly left to fetch the expensive sable fur that this Vassal King had ordered to be sent to him only a short while ago.

When Nalan Yu Ci walked out of the house with a pot of wine, the maidservant just happened to bring the sable fur, after putting it on, he and the five maidservants walked to the deck of the ship together, walked to the bow railing.

Nalan Yuanci held a jug in one hand in front of him, one hand behind his back, narrowed his eyes and murmured.

“One Zhang Julu, seeking his own death. Half Gu Jiantang, desperate.”

“Next is Chen Zhi Bao, and finally it will be your turn, Xu Feng Nian.”

That maidservant who had been to Beiliang Refusal North City, softly asked, “Sir, why don’t you go to the Northwest to see for yourself?”

Nalan Righteousness shook his head, “No need.”

A long silent stillness, the only sound in the world was the sound of the river.

He suddenly threw the wine jug in his hand into the Guangling River, then spoke, “Go and call Lin Red Ape over from Spring Snow House.”

About an hour and a half later, Lin Hong Ape from the Southern Border Dragon Palace came to this building ship.

Nalan Righteousness had already returned to the cabin, and after Lin Hongzaru closed the door, he reached out and gestured for this woman to sit across from him.

Lin Hongzaru was sitting upright.

Nalan Yu Ci smiled, “After deceiving your beloved, are you filled with guilt?”

Lin Hong ape suddenly reddened and defended, “Sir, I didn’t like ……”

Nalan Righteousness softly said, “Like or not like, indeed quickly learned, but on top of like that feelings, may not be instantly known, you are still young, may be many years before you will know. If in the meantime, you like someone else, another story.”

Lin Hong ape’s hands and feet were at a loss, and his heart was frightened.

Back then, at the foot of Wudang Mountain, in that restaurant, that intrigue that invisibly dragged many people down, that interlocking encounter and assassination, it was from the layout of this Dragon Palace Palace Master, or to be precise, this Mr. Nalan sitting across from her.

Both targeting the young Vassal King and the young Prince.

Not in killing, but in executing the heart.

Nalan Righteousness looked a little exhausted, his voice lowered, “Lin Hong ape, in the future, if you have the chance, go and say sorry to that person, both for yourself, but also as a favor to me, Nalan Righteousness.”

Nalan Yuci softly repeated, “If there is still a chance.”

Lin Hong ape blankly left this building ship.

Finally Nalan Yu Ci let all five maidservants walk into the house and softly smiled, “The Empress is not a possibility, after all, there is a Zhang Gaoxia, but according to the Li Yang law the Harem can have four imperial consorts, among you, whoever does not want to be an imperial consort, step forward.”

Nalan Yuanci did not ask who wants to be, but who does not want to.

This is to point directly to the hearts of the people.

All five people took a step forward.

Almost simultaneously.

Almost.

Only one person’s footsteps were slightly slower.

Nalan Righteousness didn’t point out anything, just smiled and said, “Mister knows, all go down.”

Since the four silly girls were unwilling to be the bird in the cage, then it was her.

However, Nalan Yu Ci also knows that it is not the most intelligent among the five who really wants to be that imperial concubine, it is only because she is afraid that if she dies as a gentleman without an heir, she will be reckoned with by some people recklessly in the fall in the future.

Shi Zi Zhao Zhuo, and Emperor Zhao Zhuo.

Would be two people.

It was no wonder that Zhao Casting, the heart of this His Highness, the son of the world, was actually thick and pure enough.

Even if Xu Fengnian became the emperor, it would still be the same.

Nalan Righteousness was lying on the desktop, sleepy eyes.

Some heartache for her.

The world of men and women in love, after using love to the depths, probably the one who lives longer, often have to be more painful.

Nalan Yuci slowly closed his eyes, murmured in a small voice, shouting a name.

Yi Shan.

The world’s great women, all only hate themselves is a daughter body.

But I Nalan Yu Ci, but only hate myself is a male body.

Love is a word, I do not know where to start, I do not know where to live. I don’t know where it starts, I don’t know where it lives. I don’t know what it ends up. I don’t know where it goes, I don’t know where it ends.

I don’t know what you know, I don’t know what to stop.

Autumn wind is killing.

In the northeastern part of the border between the rich Jiangnan Road and the barren Lianghuai Road, a dozen horses stopped at the top of a mountain.

In the past, one of the four teeth of Northern Liang, Deng Xiongqiu and Wei Fu Cheng, were among them, and the horse between them was a young general who had followed them to leave Liang for Shu.

A white-robed man, diagonally carrying the famous spear Plum Wine.

The one riding beside this white-robed soldier saint was none other than His Royal Highness, Yan Zhi Wang’s son, Zhao Chu, who clasped his fists and said aloud, “Your Highness, King of Shu, I’ll not see you off!”

Chen Zhi Bao merely nodded, clipped his horse’s belly, and rode ahead, steering his horse along the ridge road to the north.

Dian Xiong Zu and Wei Fu Cheng followed closely behind, both of them smiling and patting the young man’s shoulder fiercely.

The young cavalry general had a face full of tears, but from beginning to end, never spoke.

Zhao Zhuo sighed and scowled at the young cavalry general, ”Che Ye! How come it feels like I’m a dude who forcefully robbed the people’s women, it’s a very sinful feeling.”

The young man named Che Ye gave a cold snort, and quickly returned to his hard and rigid face, worthy of being the guy who was known as the “Little King of Shu” in the Western Shu Road, and had been truly inspired by Chen Zhi Bao.

Zhao Cui is quite fond of this guy, there is no way, not to mention that he is handsome and handsome, he is even more ferocious in leading the troops to fight in the war, even his own group of beloved generals, such as Zhang Dingyuan Gu Ying, etc., are all convinced of this person, such talent, how can Zhao Cui not be moved, so when Chen Zhi Bao decided to leave Che Ye to himself, Zhao Cui decided to leave him to the army.

So when Chen Zhi Bao decided to leave Che Ye to himself, Zhao Casting almost even had the heart to go and set off a few strings of firecrackers to celebrate. Whether Che Ye was guarding the Lazikou on the border with Northern Liang Lingzhou in Xishu Road, or following Chen Zhi Bao’s charge in Guangling Road, or attacking Lu Shengxiang’s army, Che Ye has demonstrated his amazing talent for troop transportation.

Zhao Zhu often joked, “Che Ye, if you are willing to defect to His Highness the King of Shu, I will let you be the number one general under my Zhao Zhu for a hundred years”, and said, “If you are willing to defect to His Highness the King of Shu, I will let you be the number one general under my Zhao Zhu for a hundred years!

Che Ye stayed behind, following His Highness the son to stop his horse at the top of the hill, Liang Yue, the general of He Zhou, and Ye Xiu Feng, the general of Yuan Zhou, both of them felt very relieved.

Zhao Zhuo turned his head to look at the tall and handsome looking young woman, and hehehe laughed, “Gaoxia, I told you, I’ll definitely bring you to kill Tai’an City, so don’t forget that oath when the time comes, huh?”

Zhang Gaoxia, whose ears were red, said expressionlessly, “Wait until you enter Tai’an City!”

Zhang Gaoxia, was none other than the daughter of Chief Minister Zhang Julu who had fled the country after her death.

The two martial arts masters who had stayed by Zhao Casting’s side since leaving Wudi City, Gong Hanque and Lin Crow, the women’s boxing master, looked at each other and smiled.

After a long period of contact, both of them were satisfied with His Royal Highness, the Prince of Yan Zhi Wang, who was both a hero and a lord.

To put it simply, he was a bright master!

A scholar does not tire of learning, so he can become a saint. A wise lord doesn’t tire of people, so he can become a powerhouse!

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Zhui caught a glimpse of the silent knight, who seemed especially out of place compared to Liang Yue or Lin Crow who were approaching in twos and threes.

Surname Jiang.

However, Mr. Nalan’s words revealed the truth, this jianghu person called Jiang Axe Ding is actually the illegitimate son of Yuan Benxi, the emperor of Liyang.

Zhao cast only know boxing everyone Lin Crow and he is an old acquaintance, and blind people can see the proud woman master, than she is younger than a small ten years Jiang axe Ding, there is a kind of strange feelings, only do not know why the two sides, obviously two love each other, but are not willing to poke that layer of windowpaper.

Zhao cast are anxious for them, several times in person to help speak, are not good, once directly by the infuriated Lin crow a fist “gentle” smashed in the face door, and then bruises and swollen face for a whole half a decade time, then as long as he Zhao cast in the army show up, there is bound to be know the roots of the first line of generals is very

It is “sad” to say, “I never thought that the battle situation is so tragic, Your Highness in the front line to kill hard!” “I just hate that I can’t share your worries with His Highness, I can’t build up my career on the battlefield, I can’t escape from my death penalty!” Every time he was teased by those big old men, the young Prince would laugh and call his father-in-law by the hand.

Their hands on the shouting old man, threatened that he turned back to the cave to the round, which looks handsome general Gu Ying family only young son and no daughter, according to the theory can escape, not expected His Highness the world son will be serious to come to so a sentence, “to the old man Gu’s appearance of the air, I Zhao Zhi endured a little bit, wait for the child four or five years, is not not impossible! ” It’s not easy to equal to almost bruise elimination of His Highness the son of the world, then received another punch.

Is the front line leading the army to kill Gu Ying Zhang Dingyuan, and follow Zhao cast to this place Liang Yue Ye Xiu Feng, and even once Wu Chongxuan’s subordinate general Tang He Li Chun Yu and so on, as long as it is the southern frontier generals origin, for the son of his highness Zhao cast, without exception, are very appreciated.

Nalan right Ci once had a capper on this young man, “Winter warmth, warm but not burn, who will not like?”

So although Zhao Casting was the first son of Yan Zhi Wang Zhao Bing, he was not the first eldest son, but back then, when the Southern Border was registering the vassal king’s son, Zhao Bing neither chose that elder brother of his, nor was he the youngest son who was most doted upon by the royal consort.

Zhao Casting sighed softly in his heart.

For Jiang Axe Ding, he actually had a grudge against him.

Because whether it was in the Jianghu or the temple, this person had a deep hatred with that person.

But Mr. Nalan, after the arrival of Jiang Axe Ding, privately laughed with him Zhao Casting: you this son of His Highness in the future position can be how high, Jiang Axe Ding now under your command how high the status of a leaf, you may wish to weigh their own.

Finally, Nalan Yuanci even opened the door to ask: “In the future, if you are in Tai’an City sitting in the north and facing the south, can you allow Yuan Tingshan, Jin Lanting and so on, just under the eyes of your Zhao Zhuo’s career?”

Zhao Casting did not give an answer at that time, not knowing whether he was unwilling or unable.

Perhaps he was afraid that he would let Mr. Nalan down.

But perhaps it was more afraid of letting himself down.

Zhao Casting sat quietly on the back of his horse, looking out over the northwest.

Not only because the three patriarchs of their southern border, Cheng Baishang, Mao Shulang, and JI Liu’an, stood in that place at the same time that year.

There, there was once a person of the same age who would call himself Little Beggar.

Above the top of the mountain, Lin Crow and Gong Half Que also looked so far away.

Yu Xinlang and Lou Wilder of the same school were both there, although Yu Xinlang, the eldest senior brother, was still alive, Lou Wilder had already died in battle in that Guanwai battle in Refuse North City.

Jiang Axe Ding is also the same, his best friend, the late emperor Zhao Dun illegitimate son Zhao Kai, died in the hands of that young feudal lord, and his father, most of his life against the man’s father, two generations of grudges, so far there is not a clean break!

Che Ye was naturally no exception, although he was born in Northern Mang, he had once fought alongside that white-clothed Soldier Saint as one of the 300,000 iron horsemen of Northern Liang in the Guanwai there.

Liang Yue and Ye Xufeng also looked there, as a military general, how can they not yearn for that kind of breathtaking and magnificent sand field!

For thousands of years, riding battles were uniquely characterized by the Northwest Guanwai!

Zhao Casting slowly retracted his sight, turned his head and asked loudly, “Mr. Jiang, that family letter from the Gumiao Xu Clan has almost been handed over to Arch Xu, right?”

Jiang Axe Ding nodded.

Zhao Casting suddenly rolled over and dismounted, and in full view of everyone, squatted down and plucked out a small, half-yellow, half-green, nameless grass, and laughed as he chewed, “The king wants the subject to die, and the subject doesn’t, that’s being disloyal. The father tells the son to die, if the son does not die, it is unfilial. Now it’s up to this Lord Sectional Minister to see if he will do his loyalty first or do his filial piety first.”

Then Zhao Cui bared his teeth and said, “Yang Huchen and Han Fang, these two Jizhou generals and vice generals, they are also too shameless, directly house arresting Ma Zhongxian Wen Taiyi, who treated them with courtesy, seizing the military power of Jing’an Road, and occupying the hinterland of the Central Plains in one go, it’s a bit of a headache ah. When I have the chance, I must find them to drink and talk about their arms!”

Zhao Casting liked to call out to a lot of acquaintances, and those who were more familiar would hook up with each other, never caring about the other person’s status of poverty or high or low.

Zhao Casting raised his head and smiled at all of them, “You guys wait for me at the bottom of the mountain, half an hour at most.”

In the end, only Zhang Gaoxia stayed behind, everyone else rode down the mountain.

Zhang Gaoxia stood beside the squatting young Shizi and softly said, “Is it because you are afraid that you will turn against his brother in the future?”

Zhao Zhuo bristled, “That guy, he’s such a generous person. Wouldn’t bother with me, right?”

It could be asking himself, it could be inquiring about Zhang Gaoxia, who he was in love with, or it could be asking that person across thousands of mountains.

Zhao Zhuo simply sat cross-legged, raised his head, and said softly, “If you’re really angry, just punch me twice and promise not to fight back! Haha, but little beggar me ah, by then at least is the person who is the emperor, we brother and sister private competition on the line.”

Zhang Gaoxia looked down, it was hard to imagine that such a tough-minded young man would show such a weak posture.

At this moment, she seemed to really recognize this man called Zhao Zhu.

She squatted down and gently wiped away his tears, never knowing how to comfort others, she had to say, “I’ll be by your side from now on.”

The young man gave a hmmm.

The world was not peaceful.

Fortunately, Hu Jia City is the major town in the northern part of Baobao Prefecture, since it has not been affected by the war in full swing yet, coupled with the influx of many high ranking families who scampered straight up from the north of Southern Dynasty, instead, Hu Jia City presents a morbidly prosperous scene. The destruction of the South Dynasty is imminent, the North Court to the grassland nomadic majority, the North Mang Dynasty’s household system also collapsed most of the time, there is no road guide has nothing to do with the chaotic world, with real money than anything else, want to enter a city to seek refuge, no matter what identity, have to honestly pay a large amount of money to the tolls, tolls of the amount of money, and often with the walls of that town directly linked to the height of the city. At this time, a southern dynasty scribe-like man sandwiched in the flow of people walking slowly, no side of the manservant strong escort, the ivory-colored white satin robe has long been dusty gray, the road pedestrians are not surprised, the southern dynasty, countless descendants of the family are this side of the Phoenix is not as bad as the chicken’s woeful appearance, in the fleeing road, and even many of the beauty of the concubine and the wonderful maidservant are personally handed over to the hands of the military power of the northern court of the power elite. This scruffy man has neither sword nor saber, but if there is still leisure to look closely, to a certain age more familiar with the affairs of men and women women may be able to see that the man shaved off the beard, there will be an extremely handsome and well-traveled face.

Now the North Mang up and down is filled with a kind of big trouble in the face of the wind in time to have fun, take advantage of the South Dynasty clans in distress, many like to keep the head of the rich women of the North Court, everyone gained a lot, I do not know how many young people in the South Dynasty to become their bag of playthings. Just like this time, a carriage drawn by two majestic horses lifted the curtain, revealing a woman’s face is not even in the posture of the woman, eyes wandering, such as a falcon catching prey, a circle down, selected the two companion of the feeble scholar, as she reached out to point, the stout maid in the carriage quickly went to the master “to solve the problem! The stout maid in the carriage quickly went to “solve the problems” of her master, called out to the leading knight of the eight-horse escorts, and whispered a few words.

That knight nodded, steered the horse galloped wildly, without fear of rushing to disperse the crowd, to the two young men in front of the hasty and disoriented, this stout knight sitting high on the horseback, gently rotate the sword, scared those two face white, wait until the knight straighten out their master’s identity and intentions, and then point the tip of the sword that the carriage, the two young people hesitate a little bit, the knight will smile coldly and pull out the sword, two fingers rubbing the tip of the sword. the tip of the blade. The two men quickly resigned themselves to their fate and followed the knight from the general’s house to that carriage, and when they sat down in the carriage, there was both the embarrassment of insulting their family’s honor and the relief of selling themselves for peace. The woman who still carried the curtain glanced at them, the corner of her mouth curled up, thin arms and thin legs, although the arms may not yet be as thick as her, but this is after all the taste of the readers ah. She retracted the line of sight, looked to that just a glimpse of the slender back, hesitation is not to incorporate a male pet, but at the moment has been slightly crowded carriages let her dispel this charming idea, continue to move forward when the carriage beyond the man, she thought for a moment, since he temporarily did not have that mind, always feel that it can not be cheap in the city of those who are always like to fight with their own jealousy of the ladies, what if this person accidentally fell into their hands, they will not be able to get away with it, but they will not be able to get away with it. If this person accidentally fell into their curtain guests, then how twisted? What you don’t want, no one can get.

So she asked the strong servant girl to send a message to the team of escorts, to kill that man who looked quite comfortable a moment ago.

In the chaotic world, people’s lives are not as cheap as a peaceful dog, and life and death are only in some people’s thoughts. As the wife of a powerful general, she lowered the curtain and pricked up her ears to wait for the pleasant sound of a sword stabbing into the chest or simply chopping off the head. If it is only because her husband is one of the ten thousand captains in Baobao State, she naturally wouldn’t dare to act so badly, but when her man is sitting in this position because of her family’s honorable name, then in Hu Jia City, there are not many people who dare to say anything because she snatched a few refugees and killed a few pariahs on the street by mistake.

However, she waited for a moment, but she didn’t hear the expected wonderful sound, she lifted up the curtain in doubt, the centurion of her personal guards came back to the window, bowed down and said with a shocked face: “Madam, that guy has suddenly disappeared!

The woman said in annoyance, “How could he have escaped? Can that guy’s two legs still be faster than a warhorse’s four legs?!”

The centurion’s trepidation was not because of the woman’s anger, but because of his own treacherous encounter, he panicked and explained, “Ma’am, my subordinate had already rushed in front of that person to slash him down, but that guy just disappeared out of thin air!”

The woman frowned and muttered, “Did you see a ghost in the daytime? Could it be a deeply hidden martial arts expert? It doesn’t make sense, our Northern Mang jianghu experts have all been fought over in Northern Liang, even if there are fish that escaped the net, they either continue to serve in the military or are absorbed by the Southern Dynasty’s great clans to serve as guards.”

Although the woman and her clan were the best of the best among the local forces of the Baobao State, they were not so arrogant as to mess with those exotic warriors who were said to be flying around in strange ways, those peak battles on the Liangmang border where both sides had all their experts, although there were not too many details circulating, they also allowed the world to finally understand the blood-soaked truth that a ten-thousand man enemy on the battlefield might not be able to decide the direction of a large-scale battle, but two or three, the Or even dozens of martial arts great masters of the joint appearance, North Mang two or three million iron cavalry is simply not enough to kill, even 200,000 troops want to push further, will be as difficult as heaven! The woman, who could be said to be proud of the state of Beimang, had a gloomy face and cursed the stubbornness of the Northern Liang barbarians, especially the King of Northern Liang, who had made Beimang suffer so much, was even more scolded by her.

When the woman decided to put the matter to rest, waved her hand to indicate that the loyal centurion do not need to pursue that person, put down the curtain, suddenly noticed an unreasonable breeze on the face, not only the woman, the carriage stout maidservant and the two goat into the tiger’s mouth of the scholar were dumbfounded, the woman realized that she was sitting next to an uninvited guest, her chest violently rising and falling, waves, hard to turn her head, looking at that is exactly the previous That dusty but hard to hide the temperament of the eccentric man, sitting on the embroidered pier of the woman is worthy of being a woman from a powerful family, even if her fists are clenched, slightly trembling, but her face is still squeezed out a sweet smile, and raised his hand to stop that female servant girl back to God’s death to protect the driver, smiled and said: ”This master, is it robbing money or robbing the sex ah? Regardless of which one, just because of the master’s courageous spirit that deeply impressed my slave, it is both robbed, my slave is also resigned to fate.”

The man laughed and said softly, “Let Mrs. Shentu disappointed, I only want the map of Hu Jia Shi Bei two cities, to be very detailed kind.”

The woman asked with a delicate smile, “Master is a Northern Liang spy? The slave’s courage is small, in case he is pressured on the charge of colluding with Northern Liang, that is to exterminate nine clans.”

The man’s look seemed to be a little impatient, but his tone was still kind, saying, “My time is precious, I believe Mrs. Shentu’s life is also very precious, in half an hour can not get the map, I do not mind ……”

The woman pretended to be a small woman gesture patted her chest, interrupted the man’s words, Chu Chuxiang said: “Slaves scared to death ah, master you are the top of the heroic heroes, why with a weak woman overly difficult? Of course, the two maps for the slave, is not too important rare thing, as long as the master went to the slave house …….”

The next moment, the woman who was looking around could no longer say a word, because her head and body were dead against the back wall of the carriage, like a thin piece of paper being nailed into the wall, and the whole person’s face quickly turned from red to pale and then to iron blue, like a fish being ripped onto the shore, with her life hanging in the balance.

That female maidservant even fainted long ago, like mud paralyzed on the ground, life and death unknown. The remaining two young men who managed to escape from Longzhi State to Hu Jia City were silent, they tried their best to shut up, afraid that even one breath of theirs would annoy this devil of unknown origin.

They saw that man was a bit “absent-minded” and “lost in thought”, as if he was feeling something, then he was a bit disappointed and said calmly to the woman: “Maybe I didn’t make it clear earlier, my time is much more valuable than Mrs. Shentu’s life, in fact, my time is much more valuable than Mrs. Shentu’s life. Madam’s life, is actually much more valuable. Blink your eyes for a moment and it will be taken as a promise from madam to hand over the two maps, I will count to three, if I don’t get an answer, then madam will have to be carried into the general’s mansion today.”

The woman who was about to suffocate to death used her last essence to hurriedly blink her eyes.

She had never realized until today that it was such a strain for a person to blink.

The truth that made her feel the most despair was another thing, her real life preserver was not the eight-horseman escort that was so high and mighty on the surface, but the old horseman who didn’t show his face, the actual second grade Little Master, but the horseman didn’t notice this change of events in the carriage from the beginning to the end, and during that time she intentionally or unintentionally raised her voice to “flirt” with the man beside her. “, according to the old man’s second grade realm should have been aware of what happened behind the near things, but the result is that the carriage is still steady forward. Could it be that this man, who should be less than thirty years old, is a First Grade expert? Is there such a character in the North Mang Jianghu? The North Mang Jianghu is not like the Liyang Jianghu where the dragon hibernates away from the court, there are no secrets to speak of.

The man sitting cross-legged without any action, your Shen Tu family first daughter of the woman will be able to regain breathing, the man calmly said: “Mrs. Shen Tu, your horseman used to be a second grade perfect realm of martial arts, with a left-handed knife, but unfortunately in the forty years of age or so internal organs have suffered a serious trauma, these years with the Dao De Zong precious medicine bait into the tonic, only to be able to maintain the second grade realm, have I ever said wrong?”

The woman’s face was uncertain, treating him as an enemy of the Shentu family that had been lurking for many years, knowing the roots of her own family, otherwise how could she have said in one breath that the old horseman’s heritage was broken?

The man said with a slight sneer and laugh, “The reason why I’m telling this is to tell Mrs. Shentu one thing, if there are any extraneous problems and delays, it really isn’t difficult to make a small general’s mansion with no chickens and dogs left behind.”

The woman drew a breath of cold air.

She sat upright, removed all her disguise, turned her head and asked in a deep voice, “This gentleman, is it true that you only need two maps? Not to kill me, nor to kill indiscriminately within the city?”

The man nodded and then closed his eyes.

The carriage came to a stop outside that general’s mansion, Mrs. Shentu had planned to let the old coachman fetch the maps and stay in the carriage herself as a hostage, but that eccentric man was so conceited as to let her out of the carriage, and even only needed to let the servant deliver the maps, not even needing her to show her face again. The woman inevitably staggered, let that should become the new face of the two weak scholar get lost, she was silent and walked into the mansion, less than an incense burner effort to retrieve two axes of North Mang military maps, respectfully handed to the man still sitting in the carriage, the latter opened the map, carefully browsed through.

Mrs. Shentu boldly sneak a look at the man, his face has a softer profile than the North Mang Beiting men, but compared to the men of the Jiangnan Central Plains, but also more angles, so you can call it handsome at the same time but does not give people the feeling of femininity, especially his beautiful pair of danfeng eyes, squinting up to watch the maps, especially seductive. The man finished reading the map, closed his eyes and went through it in his head, after making sure he didn’t miss anything, he opened his eyes and handed it back to the woman and smiled, ”Mrs. Shentu is very trustworthy, and the more than forty private army escorts in the mansion didn’t have any hidden movements. I don’t have anything to thank you for your wife’s act of borrowing the map right now, but I believe there should be an opportunity to express my gratitude later.”

The woman had a moment of fear, fortunately when she left her man’s study, she decided that it would be better to do more than less, otherwise she feared that today would be the anniversary of the death of many people in the house.

Just as she was overwhelmed with emotion, the man suddenly disappeared like a land god.

The woman suddenly laughed, “It is said that that Northern Liang King is not only one of the best experts under the sky, but he is also very handsome, I think that this gentleman is not too far behind that Northern Liang King, right?”

If she knew that this person was none other than the Northern Liang King Xu Fenian, she would have been scared alive.

Xu Fengnian had initially gone to look for a needle in a haystack within the territory of Northern Mang’s Southern Dynasty, but quickly realized one thing, that he and Sweet Potato’s child might not have chosen to go directly south to avoid trouble in the first place, but rather did the opposite, entering the Northern Court in the north first, and then patiently waiting for and looking for the opportunity to go to Liang peacefully, and so he swiftly went north. But even if the child is really in Beiting, he does not know whether the child is on the prairie or in a city. Xu Fengyen could only rely on his remaining intuition to search for the child, and it was highly likely that everything would be in vain, in fact, if he could not find the child even after searching Hu Jia Shi Bei City, he would have to depart back.

Maybe the child is already gone.

But this kind of “maybe”, which was the most probable, Xu Fengyen didn’t dare to think about it at all, he didn’t dare to think about it at all.

Xu Fengyen was strolling in Hu Jia City, one moment he might be under the roof of a secluded restaurant, looking at the people on the street, the next moment he might be in a small alley with the sound of children’s laughter, and then standing on the roof of an inconspicuous high-rise building.

From the midday sun, to the sunset, to the dusk, Xu Fengyen sat on the steps of a dilapidated ancient temple in the northwest corner of Hu Jia City.

Along the way, he expected thousands of times, disappointed thousands of times, even so, he never died.

Xu Fengyen told himself, his own children, must be waiting for him somewhere, waiting for his father who has wronged them too much.

Behind the ancient temple deserted for many years, does not show the Buddha’s energy, only left the gloomy light.

There was a large open space in front of the temple.

Xu Fengyen was about to stand up, saw a group of children running not far away, there are three or four years old, there are also seven or eight years old, are the most common clothing attire in North Mang, they are carefree, most of them pulling in their hands are mostly their parents homemade poor quality bamboo bone paper kites. Seven or eight children played with kite fighting, the Central Plains Jiangnan area, rich or poor, children also like to fly paper kites, but that is flying kites, unlike this group of children playing is fighting kites, can be seen in the North Mang bones flowing that kind of blood. Children in the hands of the paper kite are long and square thin plate, from the back strangled into a tile shape, painting simple and crude, not tied to the tail and tied string, by virtue of running and strong wind into the air, buzzing, left and right, and other paper kite collision fight, if it is entangled together, they will have to cut each other, the loser can only watch the paper kite fell far away, and then go back to pick it up. Xu Fengyen looked up at the sky fighting kites picture, stunned, there have been a few kites broken line and fall, there are children wow a cry, ran to look for, the paper kite unfortunately hanging high on the branch, will be under the tree crying heart-breaking.

Half an hour later, it is time to eat, in the shouts of parents in the children dispersed one after another, fighting kite winners like a triumphant general in the sand field, the losers are discouraged, thinking of going back to steal some silk threads from their parents side.

In the twilight, Xu Fengyen stared blankly at a large open space.

Then a sound of tiny footsteps broke the tranquility.

In the distance, a short and skinny figure came bouncing, carrying a slightly damaged small paper kite in his hand.

With a distance of seven or eight feet from the steps, the scruffy child stopped, it turned out to be a small charcoal girl of about four or five years old, her face was dirty, in addition to the paper kite, there are some withered yellow leaves picked up from nowhere, most likely a beggar’s she stared at the roadblock sitting on the steps, showing a fleeting wariness, but soon resumed its cheerful bouncing posture, stepped up from Xu Fengyen’s side, and was about to walk into the ancient temple. Xu Fengyen smiled, he might be sitting at someone’s “doorstep”, no wonder she was a bit unhappy.

At this moment, the distance ran to four or five children, the leader of a eight or nine years old, holding a kite in the open space after the defeat of the paper kite hanging branches of the children, see Xu Fenian behind the little black charcoal, immediately after the noise, Xu Fenian behind the children have been alert enough, almost in the first time on the fierce will be the paper kite thrown into the courtyard, but unfortunately still fell into the gang of children’s eyes, the children rushed up the steps, the oldest child rushed up to the steps, the oldest child clattered and rushed to the temple. Rushing up the steps, the oldest one slammed his fist on the little girl’s shoulder with a cold snort and threatened, ”Thief, get lost and pick up my brother’s kite, then get on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Otherwise I’ll demolish your broken home!”

The girl who was viciously punched stumbled and almost fell, puffed up her chest and sneered, “Who’s a thief? Your whole family is the thief! The paper kite fell on the tree, I climbed up to retrieve it, and I didn’t see your names written on it!”

The much older boy slapped him, the little girl tilted her head to avoid it, and kicked the boy in the crotch, causing him to roll on the ground immediately. The rest of the gangs of children without saying a word began to beat up this has been very annoying girl, the result of a tangle down, all give her a good beating, each face swollen, there is a wrist are her teeth bite out blood, of course, the skinny little girl is even worse, all over the body by an unknown number of punches and kicks, but in the end, she is still proudly stood in the doorway of the broken temple, neither to escape, nor to cry, a kind of But in the end, she still proudly stood at the door of the broken temple, neither fleeing nor crying, with a look that she would continue to fight with them.

Those children in the end not as good as her bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes, mouth cursed “bitch”, “beggar” resentfully left, not forgetting to put a variety of harsh words.

Xu Fengyen turned his head and watched the little girl wait for all the people to go far away, painfully twitching the corners of the mouth seeped out of the blood of the tender face, and then vigorously open his mouth, stretching out two fingers, a hard pull, a shaky incisor pulled down!

it, carefully holding it in the palm of her hand.

She glanced at the astonished Xu Fenian, rolled her eyes, patted her butt, turned around and jumped over the threshold with her feet together.

Xu Fengyen was dumbfounded.

Xu Fengyen stood up and continued to search in Hu Jia City, searching for all the children who could vaguely see the face of that moving woman, it could be like her eyes, like her nose, like her lips, no matter what, as long as there is one point of resemblance, it would be good.

It was late at night, Xu Fengyen found nothing, stood at the head of Hu Jia City, sighed, and then prepared to head to the last city, Stone Tablet City.

For some reason, the expression of that little black charcoal pulling out her incisors appeared in his mind, Xu Fengyen couldn’t help but smile heartily and asked himself, why don’t we go and see her again?

The eerie temple, the house with broken window bars, the narrow little plank bed, the crooked little wooden stool, the small pot on the shelf, if you add the little bag of grain hidden in the ground, it’s all her belongings.

But she was still having a good time alone, and her dinner was the little pot of messy stew of leaves she had picked up from the market during the day, which she thought was very hearty.

She sat cross-legged on the small wooden bed furthest from the window, staring up at the stars, with a stitched and mended cotton doll in her lap, her only talking companion in the world.

She suddenly sniffed, whoosh, jumped out of bed, pushed open the door with a creak, stood still and squinted, she saw a strange scene in the yard, the guy who sat on the steps in the evening is now squatting in the yard grilling meat!

She didn’t go forward, just stood in the doorway and sized up the guy.

Xu Fengnian had set up a fire and was roasting a chicken, even though there were no spices, it was tossed by him and made golden and yellow, enough to make one’s fingers tingle.

The little girl swallowed her saliva, but she just clenched her teeth and didn’t move her feet, until the guy tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth, she still held back.

Until the guy ate half of the roasted chicken, she was still in a heavenly battle, when she saw that the guy was planning to lay his hands on the last fatty chicken leg, she slowly walked to the fire and stretched out a hand, the meaning was very clear, I want to eat the chicken leg, you give it to me.

Xu Fengnian ignored her and tore into the chicken leg, his mouth full of oil.

Little Black Charcoal took a heavy step forward and extended her hand once more.

Xu Fengnian squinted at her, biting into the chicken leg one bite at a time.

The girl’s eyes rolled with an aura of cunning, saying, “This is my home!”

Xu Fengyen said vaguely, “But I’m just borrowing a place, I’ll leave after eating.”

The girl angrily said, “Give me chicken legs!”

The girl added hurriedly, “There’s only half left!”

Xu Fengnian glanced at her, “Shouldn’t you add the word please for begging?”

He was about to add “Didn’t your parents teach you?” but thought better of it, it was too hurtful to say that to an orphan.

The dark and skinny little girl spat viciously at the fire, then walked back to the steps and sat down on her butt.

Xu Fengyin dropped the chicken bone, casually wiped his greasy fingers, glared at her, and did not forget to burp under his breath.

The stubborn little girl sulked, the cool breeze, although her hair was dirty and raw, her sparse bangs were still ruffled by the breeze, revealing her high forehead, which compared to her mud-stained face, appeared especially white and polished.

In the end, it was the little girl who was the first to lose and returned to the house to sleep.

Xu Fengnian sat in the courtyard, like an old monk in meditation, eyes closed.

During the period several times she stepped on the small wooden stool to quietly peek through the window without windowpaper, until late at night she tiptoed back to the crib.

At dawn, the little girl gently pushed open the door of her room, and saw that nasty guy still rely on her home did not go, she did not dare to drive people, simply as he did not exist, eyes do not look at the heart is not annoying, carrying the broken line of paper kite self-centered along an old tree climbed up to the roof and then jumped to the roof, raised the paper kite high above his head, running around, like a tireless little wildcat.

Xu Fengnian stood up, stretched, looked up, that little black charcoal was looking down at himself, cold eyes, and full of scrutinizing meanings that were extremely inconsistent with her young age.

Xu Fengnian asked in a pleasant manner, “Your parents are gone?”

The child was like a cat that had its tail stepped on, indignantly saying, “Your parents are the ones who are dead!”

Xu Fengnian was a bit helpless, “Then why don’t you go out and beg, the early bird gets the worm, otherwise you are not afraid of starving to death?”

The little black girl sneered, “What do you care? Also, you’re the one begging! Me! No!”

Xu Fenian laughed, “If you don’t beg for a living as a little beggar, can you still steal and rob?”

The little girl snorted, “What do you know!”

Xu Fengyin did not say anything, the child on the roof who was struggling to survive in the bottom of the city was obviously very good at reading people’s words, it was a kind of sharp intuition that was almost instinctive, she could fight with those children who were a few years older than her because once she showed her cowardice, it would mean that she would always be bullied by them, last year, her cotton puppet was stolen by them when she was not at home, and her small pots and pans were hidden by them, and they often smashed stones into the windows. But she obviously didn’t dare to really piss off the grown man from the yard, and this habit of knowing what’s in and what’s out of her life may have been an innate talent, but it was even more so forced on her little by little by the isolation and misery of her situation. She is willing to go to steal things, to pick up leaves, but she is not willing to go to the street as a bowl of small beggars, she herself do not know why. This year she could already go to the streams and rivers outside the city that were no higher than her knees, try to stab fish with sharp wood, or use a broken dustpan to snap birds and dig wild vegetables in the wild, and she felt sure that when she was a little older, she could do more.

Anyway, she could get along fine on her own, she could slowly wait to grow taller and then go do that big thing.

Xu Fengyen saw that little girl with a mischievous temperament suddenly sitting on the edge of the roof, putting the paper kite down, her two little legs wobbling, holding her cheeks and looking towards the south.

Xu Fenian swept to the roof and sat down, after half an hour, she snapped awake, turned her head with a puzzled face and asked, “Hey, how come you climbed the tree too?”

Xu Fengyen was silent.

She moved her butt as if she wanted to be farther away from him, but in fact her right hand gently lifted up two pieces of broken tiles and gripped a small wooden knife tightly, but she never let Xu Fengyen see it.

Xu Fengyen still looked into the distance and asked with a smile, “What are you doing hiding a small wooden knife on the roof? It’s hard not to want to kill me?”

Her face changed with a swish and she stood up violently, facing Xu Fenian, holding the knife with both hands.

Xu Fenian cried and laughed, mocking himself, “Believe it or not, I’m not a bad guy, well, to be precise, maybe I’m a bad guy, but I certainly won’t have any bad intentions towards you, do your own math, is there any valuable object worth my thoughts? Is it a wooden knife? Is it the little broken pot, or this broken house?”

She smiled seemingly innocently, her mouth said right ah right ah, and waved the wooden knife a few times. But Xu Fengyen didn’t need to look, he could clearly feel that her body was still tense.

Xu Fengyen was a bit puzzled, was this child bullied badly by the people she was displaced from over the years, otherwise how could she be so “old-fashioned and worldly”?

She laughed and sat down again, and from under the tiles, she pulled out a piece of blunt blade from somewhere, and took the initiative to shake it towards Xu Fengnian, as if to show off, saying I have a knife.

She saw Xu Fengnian has not turned his head, there is a slight relaxation, began to sharpen the knife, the small wooden knife is still a piece of half-finished, she has to continue to “refine the knife”.

Xu Fengyen realized that this little girl would be quite meticulous when she was absorbed and focused on one thing.

Xu Fengyen couldn’t help but smile, remembering his own childhood, he was probably like her at some point in time.

He and her had a casual conversation, one question and one answer, and for the most part she was silent.

“What’s your name?”

No response.

“Any friends?”

“Sure!”

It was the attached cotton puppet.

“How old?”

“Why ask!”

“Did you make this little wooden knife yourself?”

She rolled her eyes, annoyed at his knowing question.

“This wooden knife of yours is also too four different, straighter than the Mang Blade, narrower than the Rang Blade, and slimmer than the South Tang’s long-famous Magnificent Da Pingze ……”

“Hey, hey, hey, hey, why are you rambling like a pussy?”

Xu Fenian was silent.

However, for the first time in history, she took the initiative to ask, “What kind of sword is the South Tang Magnificent Da Ping?”

Xu Fenian smiled and patiently explained, “It is a saber shaped like a large battlefield chopper, which was once very popular in the South Tang royal family, and several of the world’s most famous war swords have been borrowed.”

The little black girl glanced at her mouth, her face full of disdain.

Xu Fengnian curiously asked, “With your stature, it’s already enough to deal with those kids yesterday, you still need a wooden blade to defend yourself?”

The little girl hid the blade, put the wooden knife on her knees, the more she looked at it, the more she was happy, she couldn’t let go of it, humming: “It’s my birthday, this is a gift for myself.”

Xu Fengnian joked, “Little girl, you are not treating yourself badly.”

The little girl was furious, turning her head to look at Xu Fenian angrily, baring her teeth, “What little girl! I’m all about peeing standing up!”

Xu Fenian rubbed his forehead, speechless.

The little girl suddenly said, “By the way, don’t blame me for not reminding you ah, my father is the most powerful expert and hero under the sky, killing people without blinking an eye, if you dare to mess with me, I’ll turn around and let him beat you to death! I see you don’t look like a bad guy, that’s why I told you this secret!”

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, “Is your father really that powerful? An expert? How high?”

Little Black Girl’s entire little face was filled with pride as she tsked, “As tall as a ten-story building! No, it’s a hundred stories! Are you scared?”

Xu Fenian froze for a moment and laughed, “I don’t believe it, if your father was that high of an expert, would you still stay here and not even be able to eat a chicken leg?”

She was silent for a moment, the next word burst out from her teeth one by one, “No, allow, you, say, me, father!”

Xu Fengnian turned his head, looking at the extremely serious and tender face, he was lost in a trance for a moment.

She was arguing with him.

Xu Fengyen smiled and conceded defeat, stood up, walked over to her and tried to reach out and touch her little head, but she dodged it.

Xu Fenian said softly, “Little girl, I’m leaving, I’m going to make a trip to Stone Monument City, to find a child about your age, and she, she’ll definitely look as good as her mother.”

She waved her hand in an old-fashioned manner and said with a smile, “Go on, go on, we’ll meet again when we have the chance. Remember, don’t be so stingy next time we meet, or else you’ll be so petty that you won’t be able to find a daughter-in-law.”

Xu Fengyen was afraid of scaring this little girl, so he did not run straight to Stone Tablet City in a flash, but gently jumped into the courtyard, pushed open the door, and waited until he reached the dark corner of the alley before suddenly disappearing.

I do not know the name of the little black charcoal girl can not have any sad emotions, wait until Xu Fengyen left, but instead of relief, slowly squatting down and pouting little buttocks to hide the short wooden knife, mouth broken read: “Drawing the knife to break the water more water, pulling the knife to cut the head of the blood more flow ah …… ”

Leaving the paper kite on the roof, she slipped back down the tree into the yard to start a new day.

A helpless orphan wants to live, always is not a very easy thing, she first familiar with the way to run to two streets away from a compound, to help an elderly couple to clean up the house and clean up the courtyard, some effort to help them to fill the water tank with water, the couple’s son and daughter-in-law is often long-distance cart vendors, every ten years to return home, will settle to her more than a dozen coins, and in some cases, will even be with her on credit! In some cases, they would even give her credit. Finished the work, she is going to go wandering the streets, hear which family when there are red and white wedding will be remembered in mind, can secretly rub a meal is a meal, the beginning of the month, the two bazaars, often have a bumper harvest, the best of luck, she also picked up a bulging cotton money bag in the early spring Lantern Festival market, that is the first time she saw silver, broken silver, a very small one, not as big as her fingernail cap. It was the first time she had ever seen silver, broken silver, a very small grain, not as big as her fingernail, but it still makes her happy today. If there is no harvest in the city, you have to go to the outside of the city to take a chance, go to the river to touch the fish on the tree to pull out the bird’s nest, I remember the end of last year, the river freezes, and saw someone chiseling ice fishing out a lot of fat fish, it looks like a relaxing and easy and a million dollar profit, only need to squat in the ice, so she also went to try once, almost froze to death, or was saved by a kind passing by a trader, that time a lesson that was etched in the heart of a child to know the truth that their own luck was not good, then don’t expect God to be much generous to her.

A little black girl, who was as thin as a bone, ran happily in Hu Jia City with her feet wide open.

In the twilight, she returned to the deserted ancient temple, she had more vegetable leaves and a pocket of robin captured from the tree, today, God opened her eyes, at noon, she sneaked into a wedding banquet in the east of the city, she felt that her mouth is full of that small piece of pork left behind the taste of oil, it’s just a pity that her picking up the rice was already very fast, but still, she didn’t wait for her to finish the bowl before she was carried and thrown out of the door.

In the night, Xu Fengyen stood at the window and saw that little girl to a pot of fried robin, back to him humming a little song, “cut off the head to serve wine ah, dig out the heart and liver to braise ah, cramps skin to steam ah, taste beautiful ah, but not as good as the fried robin of the cackling crunchy ah …… day by day, I’m growing up ah! I am growing up day by day. ……”

Xu Fengyin could not help but laugh and cry, but when he looked at the little girl carefully grabbed a fried robin and put it into her mouth, looked at her skinny back and imagined that she was probably very satisfied at this time, he could not be considered to be kind and soft to himself, he began to feel heartbroken.

People live a life, after adulthood, no matter whether it is bitter or blessed, that can not be blamed on heaven and earth parents.

But she is only at this age.

Xu Fengyen sighed, in Stone Tablet City, he still found nothing, according to the reason, he should return to Beiliang Army immediately, but on the way back, he remembered this little black charcoal, and somehow returned to this ancient temple in Hu Jia City.

The little girl turned her head violently, saw Xu Fengyen outside the window, froze, then continued to move her cheeks one by one, eating the delicious fried robin.

Gourmets are concerned about a non-seasonal food, but the poor family, is forced to seasonal food. If you are in a high class family, deep fried robin is also considered to be a dish that does not rise to the top, but is also quite vulgar in the elegant side dishes.

The little girl asked curiously, “You didn’t go to Stone Tablet City?”

Xu Fengnian nodded.

She hesitated for a moment, clearly distressed but pretended to be generous and said, “Hungry? Have you eaten yet? If you haven’t eaten, I’ll treat you to a meal?”

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Sure.”

The little girl obviously hoped that this guy replied that he had eaten, but she couldn’t change her words, so she could only wave her hand towards Xu Fengnian bitterly, there were still seven fried robins in the pot, she allocated four to her side, glanced at the guy out of the corner of her eye, and allocated one back to him.

Xu Fengyen squatted face to face with her, picked up a fried robin and put it in his mouth, tasteless and tasteless not to mention, there is a kind of no seasoning to kill the flavor of the earth’s fishy breath, but Xu Fengyen did not have a reason to remember his own when he walked with the old Huang shabby scene, unknowingly full of face emergence of laughter.

She proudly asked: “Tasty, right?”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “Tasty.”

She had a celestial battle, patted her stomach, and said with a pretense of bravado, “I’m full, the rest is for you to eat.”

After Xu Fengnian ate four fried robins, he shook his head and laughed, “No need, I can starve better than you.”

She cocked her head and asked, “Really not eating?”

Xu Fenian hmmm’d and looked around while she ate the fried robins, while the little girl took the opportunity to survey him.

She clapped her hands and asked, “Want to ride in the cool?”

Seeing that Xu Fengnian didn’t object, so she took this guy, who she didn’t hate or fear in her heart, and the big and little one climbed the tree and climbed up to the roof, lying down together and looking at the starry sky.

She asked in a small voice, “Don’t you have a home?”

Xu Fenian rested the back of his head on his arm and laughed, “There is ah, and it’s a bit bigger than your home.”

She bristled, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, don’t brag, okay, my home is still small ah, such a big land, all is mine yo.”

A shooting star crossed the sky.

The little girl hurriedly closed her eyes and made a wish.

Xu Fenian softly said, “Wish? What wish?”

The little girl said with blank eyes, “Didn’t your parents tell you that wishes don’t work if you say them!”

Xu Fengyen looked at the incomparably gorgeous summer starry sky and softly said, “Tell you ah, in fact, make a wish no matter whether you say it out loud or not, whether you talk to others or not, it doesn’t work.”

The little girl hurriedly blah blah blah a few times, turning her head with an indignant face to glare at this crow-mouth guy.

Xu Fengnian smiled apologetically, “That’s from my own experience, maybe you’re different.”

Liang Liang was silent for a long time.

She suddenly spoke up and asked, “Have you ever ridden a horse?”

Xu Fengnian said, “Of course, I’ve ridden a horse since I was very, very young. What, you want to ride a horse?”

She lowered her voice with a mysterious face and said, “I’ll tell you a secret, my father has many, many horses, my father has 10,000 horses, no, it’s 100,000 horses!”

Xu Fengyin smiled and teased, “Little girl, do you know how many horses there are in 100,000? If you let the horses run next to each other, when you look at it from a high place, the horse’s back will look like the earth.”

She murmured, “This way.”

Xu Fengnian lay on his side, looked at her and said, “You treated me to four fried robins, I can grant you four wishes, for example, you can say that you want me to treat you to a chicken leg, let me give you one or two pieces of silver or something, I’ll try to fulfill it, how about it, am I not a pretty good guest?”

The little girl shook her head and said in a serious manner, “My mother said that we should treat people with sincerity, that fried robin is something I gave you to eat, it’s not like I’m selling it to you. Besides, if I really sell it, I won’t be able to sell a single copper plate.”

Xu Fengnian reached out and pinched her cheek.

The little girl didn’t refuse, but she didn’t have a good face for Xu Fenian either, she suddenly sighed, “When I was little ……”

Xu Fenian couldn’t help but interrupt her, “You’re also very small now.”

She glared and continued, “When I was little, my mother said that in the very south of the south, every summer, there would be something called fireflies that would fly around, it’s beautiful!”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “Yeah, poets over there like to call them curfew candles, night light or Jingtian or something like that.”

She blinked her eyes, shining and sparkling, and asked curiously, “Do they really glow? Why? I asked my mother, she didn’t tell me, said let me ask my father to go, but my father …… won’t tell me ah.”

Xu Fengnian answered seriously, “That’s because fireflies have light sacs in their tails that emit yellow-green fluorescence.”

Xu Fengnian added with a smile, “Your father is so petty, he doesn’t tell you this either.”

She raised her fists and assumed a stance of saying something bad about my father again and I’ll beat you up ah.

The little girl sighed.

Xu Fengnian sighed along with her for no reason.

The two continued to remain silent.

Xu Fengyen crossed his legs and enjoyed this rare peace.

In these four years since the start of the war in Liangmang, there had been endless war smoke to see, endless war drums and hooves to hear, endless battles to fight, and endless people to kill.

Perhaps in the future, history books will use the words spectacular waves to describe this war, but as an authority in the midst of it, no one can really catch their breath.

Xu Fengnian had always felt that he was far, far worse than Xu Snapdragon.

Leading an army and fighting a war was like this.

Being a father, it was even more so.

Xu Snap, this father, left him a hereditary king of Beiliang, 300,000 iron cavalry, gave him Xu Fengyen twenty years of youthful arrogance, in Beiliang, he, this son of his highness, used to be even more free than being a prince.

This is the so-called accumulation of goodness in the family will have a good fortune.

And when it was his turn to become a father, where was his own child?

Wasn’t this a case of a house of accumulated evil will have a surplus of calamity?

A soft voice came from his ears, “Homesick?”

Xu Fenian lamented, “Yes.”

The little girl imitated Xu Fengnian by crossing her legs, swaying, intermittently humming a temporary new tune, “Fireflies ah fireflies, obediently follow me home …….”

Anyway, upside down, just one line of lyrics.

I don’t know how long, can’t hear the song Xu Fengyen realized that the little girl has fallen asleep.

Afraid that she would catch a cold, Xu Fengyen took off his robe, moved gently and covered her.

Xu Fengyen looked at the sky and spent the night until dawn.

The little girl who had been shrinking in her warm robe all night woke up with a yawn, seeing the man sitting cross-legged, she did not know what to say for a moment.

Xu Fenian turned his head and asked with a smile, “Little girl, do you want to go to my house to play, tube food, clothes and sleep oh?”

She said with a disdainful face, “No go.”

Perhaps afraid that rejecting someone’s good intentions so dryly was a bit hurtful, she grinned and said, “Sorry ah, I can’t just wander around.”

Xu Fengyen reached out and rubbed her small chicken nest-like messy hair, “It’s okay, I’ll come back to find you to play in the future.”

“Next time you come, can you bring chicken legs?”

“Yes.”

“Hook me up?”

“Yes.”

Adults and children pulled the hook very solemnly.

Xu Fengnian’s smiling face remained unchanged, but he quickly got up and looked in the direction of the city gates.

The little black girl first followed her line of sight, then looked around, and suddenly her face was bloodless.

Hundreds of black dots directly swept and jumped forward on the roof, heading straight for this little home of hers.

Xu Fengnian softly explained, ”Don’t be afraid, those people are all looking for me. I’ll definitely help you find a safe place afterward, and keep the chicken legs to eat every other day.”

Previously, he had been swiftly wandering within the Southern Dynasties’ several states, and he was so invisible that even if there were Qi Practitioners in the Northern Mang who were on the lookout, they wouldn’t be able to catch the opportunity to mobilize their troops and horses to intercept them for a while, but it was a different story for the Treasure Bottle State in the hinterland of the Northern Court.

Look at the situation, not only the spider web is considered to be out of the nest, but also added several elite iron horsemen galloped.

Just that little girl, however, her lips trembled and quivered, “No, it’s all looking for me.”

She fiercely pushed Xu Fengnian and cried out in a shrill voice, “Run away, you run away! Leave me alone!”

Xu Fengnian was stunned, looking down at the child who was somehow in a hurry, she tugged at his cuffs, looked up with red eyes and choked, “Mother is gone, Uncle Xu is gone, Brother Tong Guan also broke an arm for me, it’s all because of me. ……You go ah, go ah! ……”

Xu Fengnian was struck by lightning.

The little girl let go of her hand, and hastily pulled out a narrow wooden knife from under another tile on the roof, and hurriedly shoved it to Xu Fengnian, raised her arm and wiped her tears carelessly, and squeezed out a smile and said, “Run as far as you can, and if, I mean if, if you can find my father someday, tell him that this is a gift from me to him, and that my name is Xu Nianliang, and also also and also, my nickname is Xiao Xiaojiao, and also, my nickname is Little Tong Guan. , my nickname is Little Groundhog.”

She grinned brightly, “My dad’s name is Xu Fenian, he’s the King of Northern Liang oh, very powerful right, I didn’t lie to you right?”

Seeing those black dots getting bigger and bigger, she pushed the fool who was holding the wooden sword motionless and said angrily, “Still not going? You’ll really die!”

Xu Fengnian slowly squatted down, his forehead pressed against hers.

At that moment, as he hugged her, he not only burst into tears, he also whimpered and sobbed.

Those spider web spies who entered Hu Jia City with the mindset of certain death settled down on the nearby roofs, and seeing this scene, this large group of cold-blooded dead soldiers, were also a bit dumbfounded.

The king of Beiliang who made the whole Beimang Dynasty tremble, the one who seriously injured the god of martial arts, Topaz Bodhisattva who has not yet recovered from the serious injury on earth, is crying?

The encircling circle accumulated layer by layer, getting thicker and thicker, but the crowded Spider Web Death Soldiers each knew in their heart of hearts that in front of this man, they were nothing more than pawns who used hundreds of lives to slightly delay time.

The little girl named Xu Nianliang’s eyes were resolute, gripping the short wooden knife in her hand.

Xu Fengyen let go of her and instead of wiping the tears from his own face, he reached out to help her wipe her dirty cheeks.

“I’m sorry.”

The two spoke in unison.

What Little Groundhog meant was that she had dragged him, a not so bad stranger, into this.

She just couldn’t understand why he had to say sorry as well.

But if she couldn’t figure it out, she couldn’t figure it out, and it looked like the two unlucky ones, big and small, were going to die here anyway.

She didn’t want to cry in front of those northern barbarians, gazing at his face, she heatedly smiled, “It’s alright, don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you, anyone who is afraid of death, look at me just now I also cried.”

Xu Fengyen stood up, lowered his head, carefully wearing that according to the shape of the cool knife was carved out by the child one knife after another narrow wooden knife, hanging at his waist.

He softly said, “I’ve found you, Little Groundnut.”

Inside the city were the Spiderweb Dead.

Outside of the city, there was a cavalry army that numbered around 10,000 on each side of the perimeter.

The sun was rising in the east, and the eastern haze was slowly advancing like a line of tide.

Xu Fengyuan placed one hand on Little Groundhog’s head, looked into the distance, and said softly, “Little Groundhog, father wasn’t able to protect your mother, but he will definitely protect you. Today, we will go home together.”

The child stood dumbfounded beside Xu Fengnian, and then cried out with a wow.

Since she understood, this was the first time she cried so heartbreakingly.

Even when she left Dunhuang City separately from her mother, she was understanding enough not to cry out, and even when she watched brother Tong Guan have his arm chopped off, she only covered her mouth and did not dare to cry out.

She cried out loudly, “You didn’t protect mommy, I’m not going to call out for your father!”

“I miss grandpa, if grandpa was around, I would have made him beat you.”

“You’re the biggest villain under the sky, give me back the wooden knife, I’m not giving it to you!”

“I don’t want to wish to grow up fast to find you!”

Xu Fengnian’s eyes were cold as he looked at those spiderweb dead soldiers, listening to the sad child’s angry words, this famous Beilang King, his lips trembled slightly, wanting to speak, but in the end, he still did not utter a single word.

He clenched his fist with one hand, and the palm of his other hand rested against the rough hilt of the narrow wooden sword.

At this moment, even if ten Tuoba Bodhisattvas at their peak blocked the way, even if all the first grade experts in the entire world appeared here to fight against him, even if the Northern Mang still had a million iron horsemen standing in front of him.

Xu Fenian was unafraid!

Xu Fenian was still in tears, but his smile was growing.

Little Groundhog, I found you.

Xu Fengyen let out a long breath and was about to let go of the battle when he was suddenly tugged by her cuffs, he squatted down, his eyes full of doubt.

She sniffled and raised her small hand, helping him wipe away his tears.

Xu Fenian gazed at his daughters, in his eyes dark and tanned but prettier than all the children in the world, the little groundhog, smiled and said, “You didn’t brag oh, your father Xu Fenian is really an expert as tall as a hundred story building.”

After saying this, the heaven and earth anomalies suddenly appeared.

Hu Jia City.

Besides this temple.

It is the whole Hu Jia City.

A tall building ripped and soared, a stone wall was ripped upwards, a tree uprooted and broke through the ground and floated upwards.

Interspersed with all the weapons in the city.

Almost every dead thing rose into the sky.

Then on this small roof, he wore a narrow wooden sword at his waist, and Little Groundhog carried a short wooden sword.

What a pair of father and daughter.

The Inverted Horse Pass on the border of Youzhou is no longer off-limits to merchants and traders.

There is a child called Zhao Yousong, full of joy all the way to the market trotting, he likes to squat with his partners in the recent year on the small wall, watching them a branch of the Northern Liang cavalry from this place in and out, they have that private school that the foreigner teacher was the most severe, although not very old, can be compared to the old Mr. Hong can be more learned, according to the new Mr. He said that he came from the Central Plains, Jiangnan Road, sir! Always like to talk about the local conditions there, said that they hope that these students can go to their hometowns over the book tour, said that no matter where the seeds of reading, should read ten thousand volumes of books, travel ten thousand miles, in order to live up to this life. Today that serious village school teacher even drank! Full of alcohol, drunk, the whole school hall can be smelled, today’s Mr. shook his head, funny, several times almost fell, but finally said to them, we Beiliang won, finally won, not only the North Mang barbarians of the South Dynasty is under the iron hooves of my Beiliang, the two big Xie Tick one after another initiative to surrender, haha, even the Beiting grassland is also to be unable to keep!

Zhao Yusong today ran happily and quickly, and directly left those of his peers behind.

He ran to the short wall of yellow earth, squatting in a long time waiting there beside the little girl, whispering with her, said today’s private school in the size of the interesting things.

That little girl’s family, and his family is almost the same situation, although not a village, but the two mother’s relationship is very good, often each other door to door, private school a lot of people are laughing at them is engaged in a doll marriage, Zhao Yusong every time will be red, but also not willing to deny.

He is not stupid, he would have liked her well, she is white and chubby, the eyes are still so beautiful, watery, do not like it strange, those who joke about him the most ferocious and most energetic, in fact, the same is secretly like her, but it is a pity that she only like their own!

After quietly listening to Zhao Yousong finished, the little girl lowered her head and timidly said: “My mother is going to marry someone, that person has just come to the door to propose marriage.”

Zhao Yousong was surprised, then asked in a low voice: “Is it the Liu Biao Chang from your village?”

The little girl nodded vigorously.

Zhao Yousong sighed heavily, and then comforted her in an old-fashioned manner, “It’s fine, although Liu Biaozhang is five or six years younger than your mother, he is indeed a hero, or else he wouldn’t have been able to become the Biaozhang of the Northern Liang Crossbowmen! I’m sure he will treat your mother well!”

The little girl tugged on his sleeve and whispered in his ear, “I heard people say that that gentleman of yours likes your mother.”

Zhao Yuiling, who was black under the lamp, was really shocked this time, and sat on his butt on the ground, “No way?”

The little girl was a bit aggrieved, “But my mother said the same thing.”

Zhao Yousong cried out, “Our mister is very good, but I don’t want him to be my stepfather at all!”

She asked suspiciously, “Why? My mother thinks that Mr. Zhang is very nice, he has good looks, a good temper, and he is also learned, last time your mother came to our house, my mother even persuaded your mother to agree.”

Zhao Yousong shook his head vigorously, “No no no! My mother can’t marry him!”

She frowned, then pouted and said somewhat angrily, “Do you think that if your mother remarried, a scholar like you would lose face?!”

In fact, she, ah, was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to look at herself, after all, her mother was the one who remarried ah.

Her mother always told herself, Zhao Yousong that child ah, is under the sky the most valuable readers it, will certainly have great success, can not miss.

Zhao Yousong hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, no, if my mother really likes someone, I can’t wait for my mother to be happy, but I know my mother doesn’t like Mr. Zhang!”

In fact, Zhao Yousong was lying.

He actually didn’t know at all, whether his mother liked Mr. Private School or not, but rather this child’s mind hoped that if his mother really wanted to marry someone, she would just marry that person.

But if his mother really liked Mr. Zhang, he could only resign himself to his fate.

Alas, sorrow.

The two children, each with their own preoccupations, sat shoulder to shoulder on the wall, looking at the city gates of the Inverted Horse Pass together, staring blankly.

Suddenly Zhao Yousong eyes bright, directly jumped off the wall, fell a dog shit also don’t care, all the way to run wildly, see the little girl dumbfounded, back to God, she helped to take his bag of books carefully run down the city.

Zhao Yousong ran toward the man walking slowly from north to south and shouted, “Uncle Xu!”

The man waited until Zhao Yousong ran in front of him before asking with a smile, “Yousong, why don’t you call out to Brother Xu or Mr. Xu this time?”

Zhao Yousong grinned and winked, “My mother taught me that, why don’t you ask her yourself?”

The man froze, laughed it off, and said I’ll go buy meat buns, you wait a while.

When he went to the store to buy meat buns, Zhao Yousong suddenly realized that there is a small black charcoal, not far from not close to follow behind Uncle Xu, after seeing himself, the small black charcoal towards his eyes fiercely, but also raised his fists to scare people.

With Zhao Yousong childhood friend of the little girl came to his side, panting, Zhao Yousong rushed to take the bag of books, to her smiling face to apologize.

Zhao Yousong suddenly came over his head to whisper in the little girl’s ear, she was a little confused, but finally ran all the way away.

The little black charcoal was none other than Xu Nianliang, and the Uncle Xu in Zhao Yousong’s mouth was Xu Fengnian who had just returned to Youzhou from North Mang.

Unless Xu Fengyen, her father, was in a hurry, carrying Little Groundhog all the way, as long as she was walking on her own, she had to intentionally distance herself from him by a dozen or so paces, with a “I promise not to lose you, but I won’t get close to you either” look.

Therefore, after entering this inverted horse pass, it was like this again, Xu Fengyen could not do anything about it, he could not do anything about it.

Xu Fengyen bought four big steaming meat buns and handed them to Zhao Yousong who was beside him and asked with a smile, “Where is the little girl beside you?”

Zhao Yousong hemmed and hawed and said, “Maybe something came up at home.”

Xu Fengyen shook his head with a smile, turned towards the stubborn girl, the latter did not run away, after receiving the meat bun, not waiting for Xu Fengyen, “Slowly eat, be careful of scalding,” finished, she has been a mouthful of rapid bite down, and immediately to the scalding of the body hit a jolt, to see Xu Fengyen draws a breath of cold air, no nonsense half, just hold back the heartache! Xu Fengyan, hurriedly turned around and did not look.

As expected, only until he turned around, the little girl held most of the meat packet, spit out her tongue, fanning vigorously with her little hand.

Zhao Yusong look at the corner of the mouth straight twitching, thinking this little black charcoal is to hungry, or some lack of heart ah?

Xu Nianliang, who had long been accustomed to watching and listening to all sides, quickly widened his eyes and glared at Zhao Yousong, raising his small fists towards him again.

Xu Fenian reached out and touched her little head, “Don’t be so rude.”

The little girl fiercely skimmed her head, tilted her head and fiercely blew on the heat and aroma overflowing from the meat buns, after waiting for a moment, she held the buns with both hands, one bite, two bites, three bites, and instantly gnawed it all for her.

True Hanzi!

Zhao Yousong rolled his eyes, I can’t afford to mess with it.

Xu Fengyen handed over another meat bun, then squatted down and helped her wipe off the grease splattered on her clothes.

After Zhao Yousong saw this scene, he was a little envious and suddenly a little heartbroken, turned his head and quietly wiped his face.

Xu Nianliang rolled his eyes even more after seeing that dumb goose’s inexplicable behavior.

Although Xu Fengnian did not turn his head, he understood the general cause and softly said to his daughter, “Little Groundhog, don’t be like this.”

Little Black Charcoal, who had a narrow wooden knife hanging from her waist, once again turned her head fiercely.

Xu Fengnian sighed and stood up.

When he turned around, he saw that kind and gentle woman, Xu Qing.

She was a little breathless, a little shy, and also a little expectant and joyful.

She didn’t speak, but those clean and clear eyes seemed to speak.

Zhao Yousong first winked at the little girl of great merit, then broke the silent situation by saying, “Uncle Xu, my mother just opened a small cloth store in the marketplace, let’s go and take a look?”

Xu Fengyen hesitated and turned his head to look at the little groundnut, just about to plan to politely refuse.

Xu Qing, the young lady who once embroidered python robes by hand in the Golden Witch Weaving Bureau, somehow came directly to the little groundnut’s side, squatted down and picked up the little girl as she stood up, then quietly looked at Xu Fengyen.

Xu Fengyen felt a little amused when he saw the little groundnut who had her hands full but didn’t struggle too much, and nodded his head.

Zhao Yousong and his childhood friend led the way in front.

Xu Qing softly asked, “Little girl, what’s your name?”

The little black charcoal-like child cried out all of a sudden, “My name is Xu Nianliang!”

Xu Qing softly said, “Well, looks like your father.”

The little digimon shook his head as he wiped his tears, “I don’t look like him! I only look like my mother!”

Xu Fengyuan was a bit surprised why Little Digimon was so intimate with Xu Qing.

It was probably Xu Qing’s unique tenderness from the bottom of her heart that made this lonely and helpless child feel nostalgic. This extremely sensitive child had an indescribable talent for distinguishing between the good and bad intentions of outsiders.

At that moment, Xu Fengnian instantly reddened his eyes, turned his head sideways, and gently exhaled a breath.

On this journey towards the south, Xu Fengyen had suffered a lot.

If she had the slightest interest in chatting.

“Surname Xu! How many women do you have over in Northern Liang?”

“I ……”

“Oh, so hesitant, that’s a lot? Tsk, awesome, awesome, worthy of being the King of Northern Liang!”

“……”

If she was in an extraordinarily bad mood.

“Surname Xu!”

“Huh?”

“Believe it or not I’ll take a wooden sword and beat you into a big pig head?!”

“Father believes it.”

“You don’t believe it at all!”

Crackling, is dozens of wooden knife.

He didn’t dodge.

Suppose she’s in a slightly better mood.

“Hey, that Mount Qingliang you mentioned, is it as big as the two in my house?”

“Yes, it’s a bit bigger.”

“You’re lying!”

Another serving of wooden knives.

But it was less than when she was angry.

If it was one of the rare times she was in a good mood.

“Hey, Xu Fenian. Jiangnan is a place more southern than Northern Liang?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Then have you seen the ocean? It’s just big, big water.”

“I’ve seen it, but I’ve only seen the East Sea, I’ve never been to the South Sea, let’s go together in the future?”

“I’ll go alone!”

“Then you have to wait until you’re older, otherwise dad won’t feel at ease.”

Then Xu Fenian got beaten again.

Only when she was in the best and finest of moods, Little Groundhog would ride on her father’s neck and rest her little chin on her father’s head, not saying a word, just sniffling softly, but not crying out.

Occasionally the two rest in the middle of the day, the small groundnut will also be alone to look to the north, lost in thought.

At that time, the man either stood beside her or sat behind her, silent, not daring to speak.

The only time the corners of Little Groundhog’s mouth curled up.

It was on their return journey at the border zone of Long Waist State, when they met a Northern Liang border army heading north, to drive straight into the Beiting grassland with six thousand Xu family iron horsemen!

Carrying her on his back, he stopped in his tracks.

She took the initiative to ask to ride on his neck, her eyes wide open and full of curiosity, looking hard at that unfamiliar cavalry.

The six thousand border army iron horsemen, simultaneously rolled over and dismounted, after seeing that little girl riding on the neck of the young feudal king, everyone looked excited, the leading cavalry general was none other than the right cavalry commander Li Yanchao who had a great war record, he took the lead in clasping his fists and shouting: ”I, Northern Liang Right Cavalry Army! Welcome Your Highness home!”

Six thousand men, all clasped their fists in unison and shouted, “Northern Liang Right Cavalry Army! We welcome Her Highness home!”

According to the laws of Liyang, the daughters of all the feudal lords were only county lords.

But the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry has been running the world, invincible for twenty years! What ever cared about the views of the Central Plains court?

After that, Little Groundhog rarely spoke.

Until he entered the Inverted Horse Pass on the border of Youzhou.

To the small cloth store located in the corner of the bazaar, perhaps Xu Qing left in a hurry, even the store door is not closed, has waited for a number of customers, business is obviously good, Liang Mang war has come to an end, many border soldiers one after another to return to the pass, more people, coupled with the army pay more, the business is naturally good. Inside the small store, there are seven or eight men and women, slightly crowded, but I believe that those men, most of them buy cloth is very secondary.

Xu Fenian kindly said to Xu Qing, “You go ahead and get busy, it’s not in the way.”

After Xu Qing put the little groundnut down, she bent down and rubbed her little head, Xu Qing her brows arched and she said softly, “Little Liang, can you pick a piece of cloth yourself, I’ll turn around and help you make a nice looking garment. Being so tanned, you can’t pick a color that’s too flowery.”

The little girl made a face and bounced off to pick the fabric, not being polite at all, suddenly remembering, she said to the woman who was walking towards the counter, “I’ll make Surname Xu pay!”

Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded his head.

But Xu Qing smiled and shook her head, “This time, I’ll give it to you first, but next time you want it, you’ll have to pay for it.”

The little digimon thought with his mind and glanced at Xu Fenian sitting on the threshold, the child did not refuse.

Probably because of Xu Fengyen’s emergence, the men customers all left very quickly, but it was the women and girls who were more and more reluctant to leave. During this period, the little lady Xu Qing and the little groundhog had a heart-to-heart glance at each other.

At that time, before the small groundnut went to touch the fabrics, the two small hands did not forget to rub their sleeves vigorously.

Xu Fengyen sat alone on the threshold, one hand propped up on his chin, always looking at the child with a peaceful expression and warm eyes.

It was not easy to wait until all the guests had left, only then did the little groundnut sigh, spreading his hands out, saying to Xu Qing with a face full of helplessness, “I don’t have a favorite ah.”

Xu Qing gave an oh, then walked out of the counter and went over to the cloth rack to pick and choose for herself, finally picking up a piece of light-colored floral fabric and turning to the little girl, she smiled, “Then I’ll just give you this piece of cloth casually, oh?”

The little digimon blushed a little.

Xu Fengnian stood up and said softly, “Silver is enough.”

Little Digimon waved his hand, “Alright!”

Xu Qing looked at the sky outside the door, dusk, looked at Xu Fengyen who looked like he was going to pay and left, softly said, “Eat before you go?”

Xu Fengnian shook his head, “Forget it.”

Little Groundnut suddenly asked, “Do you have any fried robins there? The crunchy kind!”

Xu Qing shook his head.

Little Scholar Zhao Yousong slapped his forehead, so it was a female warrior!

Little Groundhog asked again, “Do you have rice? A big, big bowl!”

Xu Qing gently nodded.

Little Digimon then patted his stomach, “Eat and drink before we hit the road!”

After closing the store door, Zhao Yousong had to send the little girl home first, so Xu Qing led the little groundnut home, and Xu Fengyen could only stand honestly on the other side of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing asked, “Is the wooden knife a gift from your father?”

Little Digimon gently patted the narrow wooden knife and grunted coldly, “No, I made it myself!”

The child quickly added, “Made it for myself! It’s not a gift!”

Arriving at that small courtyard, Xu Qing brought the little girl along to busy dinner, probably because the latter was simply happy to stay with her father.

Xu Fengyen just sat on a small stool in the courtyard, looking up at the sunset in the sky, unable to stop staring.

Zhao Yousong quickly ran home and then gawked with Xu Fenian.

When he called out to their big and small group for dinner, Zhao Yousong realized that that little black charcoal seemed to have cried, pitifully.

After sitting on the small table with abundant dishes, Zhao Yousong soon found that girl gulping down her food, chopsticks flying, like a starving ghost.

Xu Fenian did not say anything either, but it was Xu Qing who from time to time told his little girl to eat slower, no need to rush.

When the small groundnut was full, Xu Fengyuan had only moved his chopsticks a few times.

For some reason, the little girl seemed to be taut strings suddenly loosened, and then it was obvious that the spirit is not good, almost reluctantly lying on Xu Fenian’s back, closed her eyes and fell asleep, emitting a slight snoring sound.

Xu Qing instantly covered her mouth, not allowing herself to disturb that poor child.

Just now, when they prepared dinner together, although Xu Nianliang’s words were not much, but talking about the child’s past that he thought was very interesting made Xu Qing feel incomparably sad.

Although she did not read books, but the truth under the sky is the same, she was simmering over the woman, roughly know the world of men and women, after growing up, how to suffer suffering from suffering, there is no way to complain about the sky, but a child so big, how can you talk about those things, will still find it interesting, but also said with a fluttering brow?

She looked at the size of the two backs that gently walked out of the house, the soft nature of her unprecedented some anger towards him: “Can’t you let the child sleep in bed?!”

At that moment, the man violently stopped in his tracks.

Zhao Yousong didn’t know what to do and was a bit scared.

In the end, Xu Fengyen turned around and returned to the house, moving gently and handing over the little groundnut to Xu Qing.

She carried the child to her own house, and after covering the child with a quilt, she stood in the doorway and said softly, “At night, you sleep in Righteousness Song’s room.”

Xu Fengnian shook his head, “No, I’ll go to the courtyard.”

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she just silently turned around and went to sit by the bed.

Xu Fengyen sat in the courtyard, Zhao Yousong lowered his voice and chatted with him for a while, then said that he was going to do the homework left behind by the private tutor, Xu Fengyen said softly, “Study hard, and in the future, get a meritocracy, don’t let your mother down.”

The child nodded vigorously and then tiptoed away.

Xu Fengnian did not say a word.

He sat until the sun set, until the bright moon hung in the sky.

Xu Fengyen remembered a lot of things from his childhood, some memories were blurred, some memories remained deep.

After arriving at Northern Liang Qingliang Mountain, especially the past events when he was a teenager, it was going to be much clearer, except that at that time, his own mother was no longer there, only Xu Snap was left alone.

Xu Fengnian was motionless from beginning to end.

Only until he became a father, will he understand his own father, those who gave to him back then, no matter how much has been given, will never feel enough, will always just hate too little.

My little groundhog, father is sorry for you, but father really loves you.

Maybe in the future, when she grows up, she will meet a beloved man, but he, as a father, is the only one who will still reluctantly hand her over, hoping that she will be happy for the rest of her life.

He hoped that when he died and could no longer take care of her, she must continue to be happy as well.

At some point, Xu Qing walked out of the house and sat beside him.

Xu Fenian turned his head immediately after returning to his senses and wiped his face with a haphazard scribble.

Xu Qing softly said, “Sleeping uneasily, woke up several times in a muddle, quickly fell back asleep, twice cried and asked me where you were, I told her that you were in the courtyard, only then was she willing to go back to sleep.”

Xu Fengnian hmmmed.

Xu Qing lowered her head, “In front …… of me I am sorry.”

Xu Fenian shook his head, “Don’t think too much, I have to thank you for this, really.”

Xu Fengnian’s voice was hoarse, “I don’t know how to take care of her …… I haven’t been able to do it well. Whenever she doesn’t speak, I get scared ……”

Xu Qing body leaned forward and bent over, his hands resting on his chin, looking toward the courtyard door over, “I was also so over, the more the child understands, when the parents will feel more sorry for them, the more the heart owes.”

Xu Fenian quietly listened.

Under the moonlight, she said a lot, until her eyelids were fighting.

Xu Fengyuan turned his head and saw Little Groundnut walking to the threshold of the house, looking at them, then she sat down on her butt and waved her hand at herself.

Xu Qing jolted awake and shook his head, following Xu Fengyuan’s line of sight, he spotted the little girl.

Xu Qing stood up and walked over to the little digimon, asking softly, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

The little girl also stood up and grinned brightly, “Slept to my heart’s content!”

Xu Qing smiled, “Then remember to come here to play in the future.”

The little digimon stretched out her little thumb, “Come on, pull the hook!”

Xu Qing gently pulled the hook with her.

Xu Fenian smiled and squatted down, waiting for the child to lie on his back.

Xu Fenian gently reminded, “Hold tight.”

Little Groundhog snorted coldly.

Xu Fenian turned his head and smiled, “Let’s go.”

Xu Qing stood at the door and nodded.

The two figures flashed away.

Like a long rainbow swept out nearly a hundred miles to the south of Youzhou, Xu Fengyuan sensed Little Digimon’s abnormality and stopped, asking worriedly, “What’s wrong, where are you uncomfortable?”

Little Digimon struggled to leave his warm back, she stood on the ground and lowered her head without speaking.

Xu Fengnian knelt on one knee and crouched in front of her, not knowing what to do.

She fiercely covered her eyes with both hands, as if she didn’t dare to look at her dad, and sobbed, “I’m sorry, I miss my mother …… I’m sorry …… I’m not angry with you… …Even if I am, it is only a little bit! Little Groundhog is just blaming himself for being useless …… Father, what Mother asked me to do, Little Groundhog has failed to do a lot of things ……”

At that moment, Xu Fengyuan vigorously covered his mouth and slowly lowered his head.

This man who has never retreated half a step outside the Chintian Supervisor in Tai’an City and outside the Beiliang Refusal North City, is afraid that his own child, will feel that her father, is not a hero in her heart.

Little Groundhog put down his hand, ruthlessly stopped crying, took a deep breath, and suddenly hugged her father’s neck with both hands, and said loudly: ”Father! You are not allowed to cry! A good man bleeds without tears!”

She remounted on his neck, and he slowly traveled south this time.

“Father, what were my grandparents like?”

“Your grandfather had the best temper, and your grandmother, the best looking.”

“Then when you were a child and disobedient, did grandpa beat you?”

“Haha, he didn’t want to.”

“Will you beat me if I don’t behave in the future?”

“I wouldn’t want to.”

“Then what will you do if there are bad people bullying Little Groundhog in the future? I mean there are lots and lots of bad guys, oh, more than the last time we were up north! A lot more!”

“Dad will beat up ten Topaz Bodhisattvas whose parents don’t even recognize them.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“You’ll understand when you grow up.”

“But I’m already grown up!”

“In father’s heart, the little groundhog will never grow up in his life.”

“Then if a woman doesn’t like Little Groundhog, will you not want Little Groundhog?”

“Definitely not. Because Father likes Little Groundhog the most.”

“Alas, that must have been how Mother was tricked into getting her hands on you back then.”

“……”

“In the future, when I’m angry, I’ll call you Xu Fenian, will you be angry, Father?”

“Little Groundhog, father will never be angry with you in this life.”

“What if you don’t count your words in the future?”

“Don’t you have a wooden knife.”

“That’s right! Will you still accompany me to the roof? And look for fireflies together? Do we have chicken legs at home? Are the blankets thick enough?”

“Anything! Everything!”

“Dad ……”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you die, OK?”

“……”

“Don’t pretend to be asleep!”

“Good le.”

“Dad.”

“And what?”

“Hey, just shouting you ah.”

Outside the city, smoke is rising.

Inside the city, chaos is rising.

You know, this city is called Tai An City!

For more than two hundred years, no foreign enemy army had ever attacked this capital city of Liyang!

What made him feel saddest was that the reason why the other side had delayed in attacking the city was simply because they wanted to keep the Liangmang war from coming to an end too early!

Zhao Zhuan, the son of the Zhao family, sat alone in the room of diligence where successive monarchs had studied and learned to read and write, and at the doorway stood only that Left Scattered Cavalry Standing Counselor of the Gate Province, Chen Shao Bao Chen Wang.

The young emperor sat in the same place where he had sat when he was a young boy, looking up at the place where the master of the Diligence Room was teaching.

No one knew whether this young monarch, who originally had high aspirations, was angry or remorseful or repentant deep inside.

Strangely enough, this His Majesty, from the time he was a prince to the time he ascended the throne, did not have any bad reputation, not even half of it, in fact even if he was not the eldest son of the previous emperor, his ascension to the throne as the emperor was still very justified, and appeared to be so much deserved by all.

In fact, even if he is not the eldest son of the late emperor, his ascension to the throne is still very legitimate, and it seems to be so popular. After he sat on the dragon chair, obviously there is nothing wrong, he has the elegance of a famous scholar, has the temperament of a wise ruler, and has the reputation of the people’s heart, but in the end, the unification of the central plains of the Liyang dynasty, the old emperor Zhao Li, the late emperor Zhao Dun, passed to the hands of the Zhao Zhuan, and then buried in his hands.

In the Spring and Autumn period, the emperor of the fallen country, some must die, some do not have to die, the former such as the former Chu Jiang’s emperor, the latter such as the old South Tang last monarch.

Although this young emperor belonged to the former, Zhao Zhuan actually didn’t care if he lived or died.

He just wanted to be here to figure out one thing, why in the end he would lose without a sound, as if it was a tall building that suddenly collapsed, instantly falling apart, and even making it too late to remedy the situation.

Is the majestic grandfather has been wrong? Or had the foundation of the Zhao family become shaky in the hands of Father?

His Majesty the Emperor, who had his back to Chen Wang, looked quiet.

Chen Wang suddenly saw the “young” eunuch standing at the end of the corridor.

Chen Wang wanted to say something, but the latter slowly walked forward, along the corridor, brushed past Chen Wang, continued to walk, and finally turned a corner and disappeared.

From start to finish, without a sound.

Chen Wang closed his eyes, his face full of pain.

At some point, Empress Yan Dongwu arrived, and even at this moment, she was still as graceful as ever.

Chen Wang stepped out of the doorway and bowed.

After nodding her head and returning the bow, Yan Dong Wu walked into the diligence room and sat beside His Majesty the Emperor, silent.

Zhao Zhuan turned his head and smiled, “You’re here.”

Yan Dongwu smiled, “To keep you company.”

Zhao Zhuan said softly, “I thought that Lu Shengxiang would be like Wu Chongxuan Song Kasa, who surrendered when he saw that the situation was not good, but I didn’t expect that he would fight to the end, and that he would lose seven out of ten of his troops in the capital city! I thought that Jiaodong King Zhao Suo’s son, Zhao Yi, would be like Gu Jiantang and stay put, but I didn’t expect that the father and son would swing south, and the entire cavalry under his command was killed in battle! I also thought that Xu Gong, the Two Huai Road Minister, would die for his country like Lu Shengxiang Zhao Suo, but unexpectedly he let someone hand over a secret letter to me today, in which he roughly said, ‘In today’s world, there is no more Xu Snapdragon on the border, and there is no more Zhang Julu in the imperial court. I Xu Gong really do not want to die to be loyal to the Zhao family in Liyang, I only have the elite of the border army left in the two Huaihuai, instead of dying in the same room in the Central Plains, it is better to be like the border army in Northern Liang, everyone to the north and back to the south and die.'”

Zhao Zhuan unexpectedly laughed out softly, “The last sentence on the secret letter of this border general who is the pillar of the nation is ‘If Your Majesty does not agree, there is nothing I can do’.”

Yan Dongwu’s eyes glazed over, “Woe to the nation!”

Zhao Zhuan shook his head and laughed to himself, “He is not very loyal, but he is not quite a traitor to the country, at the beginning, Xu Gong still won some key battles, otherwise, Yan Zhi Wang and the others would not have the face to continue acting like this. This letter, Xu Gong is not for me to see, in fact, is to Zhao Bing Zhao cast father and son to see. This Great General Xu of ours, has good intentions.”

Yan Dong Wu gritted his teeth and said, “The most hateful is Chen Zhi Bao! The most shameful is Gu Jiantang!”

Zhao Zhuan still shook his head, “Chen Zhi Bao’s 60,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 elite cavalry, no matter how powerful they are, and no matter how brilliant this white-robed Soldier Saint’s use of the military is, it is impossible to completely block and isolate the two Liao’s border army’s southward movement, which is due to Gu Jiantang’s unwillingness to use up all of his elites, but also due to the fact that many of his generals had to hide their personalities.”

Zhao Zhuan sighed, “No matter what, Chen Zhi Bao is indeed worthy of the reputation of the Sage of White Clothes and Soldiers, no wonder the late Emperor held him in such high esteem and favor.”

Yan Dongwu looked forlorn.

Zhao Zhuan laughed, “I should be glad that Chen Zhi Bao didn’t stay in Bei Liang to assist that person, otherwise not only would this world not be lost to me anymore, it would also not be surnamed Zhao!”

Yan Dong Wu lowered her head and touched her stomach.

Zhao Zhuan reached out and touched her head, this young Prince of Heaven was shedding tears, but his voice was incredibly gentle as he said, “Live a good life, live a good life with your child, just ask for peace and quiet, and don’t tell him who his father is for the rest of his life.”

Zhao Zhuan seemed to be saying to a non-existent character, “You and my Zhao family hundreds of years of incense and flame friendship, Zhao Zhuan only begged the old gods that you take her and leave Tai’an City in peace.”

Out of nowhere, seemingly in the ears and in the sky, a sigh rang out, and then a single word was uttered, “Good.”

On this day, Emperor Zhao Zhuan of Liyang held the jade seal in his hand and personally went out of the city to ask for surrender.

The person who surrendered is not Zhao Xun who has just claimed the title of emperor for a decade, or even Zhao Bing, the king of Yan Zhi Wang, but Zhao Zhu, the son of his highness!

Early years after Zhao cast and Chen Zhi Bao and his party parted, Zhang Gaoxia in the mountaintop last words to Zhao cast, she really did what she said.

Many years later, in that winter when the Xiangfu year was changed to Yangjia, she was already the Empress of the new dynasty of Liyang.

Inside the capital city that had been changed to Taiping City, in the Wuying Hall that still hadn’t been renamed, the slender green-shirted man with a cool sword at his waist, drenched in blood, slowly walked into the hall.

Behind him was a white dress, she was wearing the Spring Thunder Embroidered Winter Dual Swords at her waist, helping the former to guard the entrance of the great hall, and outside the hall were thousands of forbidden guards in black iron armor.

Already a noble empress, she still stood with her sword on that day, standing right on top of the great hall, stopping between two men.

One was the man with the most honorable status in the world, and the other was the most invincible man in the world.

Had been the best of brothers.

The former wanted to kill the latter, but just didn’t succeed.

The latter had placed that cool sword into its sheath the moment he stepped into the great hall, an action that was filled with undisguised and heavy mockery.

His line of sight crossed over the woman’s figure without speaking.

Dressed in dragon robes, the new emperor, Zhao Casting, slowly rose from the dragon chair and walked down the steps step by step, blocking in front of Zhang Gaoxia and confronting the man face-to-face.

Zhang Gaoxia trembled and angrily said, ”Xu Fengnian! Do you really want the world to be in chaos again? Do you know how many soldiers and people will die in vain in Northern Liang and the Central Plains?!”

The green shirt didn’t pay any attention to this motherly woman at all, but just quietly looked at the dragon robe and asked, “Why?”

Zhao Casting calmly said, “The little beggar wants to treat you to the best wine, but Emperor Zhao Casting wants to be free of future troubles forever, and the children of the Zhao family to rest on their laurels. It’s as simple as that.”

The man laughed and asked again, “Can’t you just sit down, drink the wine, and talk it over?”

Zhao Casting shook his head and said, “That’s why I, Zhao Casting, can wear this dress now.”

Seeing the man reach out and hold the hilt of his sword, Zhao Cu just closed his eyes and didn’t move, waiting to die with his hands tied behind his back.

Zhang Gaoxia was just about to try to rush out forward when she was clutched by Zhao Casting’s arm in a death grip.

With a pale face, her five fingers loosened and her long sword crumpled to the ground.

Yes.

A capital city, hundreds of experts, and the entire 30,000 iron armor hadn’t stopped him, so how could she, Zhang Gaoxia, stop him?

She similarly closed her eyes, only that both her hands were holding her man’s arms.

At some point, it was as if she detected His Majesty the Emperor staggering backwards, as if he was being hammered in the chest with a fist.

Her eyes snapped open, and when she turned her head, she only saw Zhao Zhu with a blank face, but unharmed.

And that man put away his fist had already turned to leave and said softly, “Be kind to Bei Liang in the future, I will be watching over you outside of the capital, Little Beggar.”

That man and that white fox child face, swept away.

Zhao Zhuo lowered his head and choked, “Little beggar is wrong, really wrong ……”

In addition to her, there has been no one to listen.

The rivers and lakes have been going since then, and a straw raincoat is a flat life.

After turning around in this life, there is also no wind and rain.

Jingo iron horse.

Write the wind and flow.

Generous and impassioned.

The waves are magnificent.

The spirit of righteousness.

The sound of books.

The pearl curtains are tinkling.

The world is at peace.

Outside the capital, two horsemen ride far away.

A goose feather snow has fallen to earth.

White fox face asked, “No regrets?”

Green shirt Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Only for the Northern Liang to ask the heart is not guilty.”

White fox child face full of anger, “But you let me down!”

Xu Fenian face was gentle, turned his head and asked with a smile, “What then?”

White fox child face snorted coldly, didn’t look at him, broke some blushes, and said in a heavenly tone, “Xu want rice! You be my daughter-in-law!”

Xu Fengnian stuck out his thumb towards her, “Technical work! This Shizi Highness, must be rewarded!”

The white fox’s face stretched out, the corner of her mouth secretly curled up, and she said exasperatedly, “But my daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law, there are a bit too many of them. Let me count, Jiang Nai, Lu Cheng Yan, Wang Chudong, Sweet Potato, Green Bird, Pei Nanwei, Huyan Guanyin ……”

She kept counting, how come it felt like there was no end to it?

Someone looks up at the sky, “Huh? What a big snowfall! It seems to be about the same size as the time we just met back then.”

She held back her laughter and followed suit, raising her head and sighing softly, “Yeah.”

Amidst the heavy snow.

Compared to that year’s handful of Embroidered Winter, a handful of Spring Thunder.

Nowadays there was an additional cool knife.

The rivers and lakes in the snow started and ended with them.

A good beginning and a good end.
