Chapter 017 Speak with the mountain ghosts to hear
The next day, all things come to light, the woman whose real name is Fan Xiao Hairpin is a woman of a broken family because of the wrists of the great pillar state that led to the fall of the family, a dead chess piece, no matter whether the matter succeeds or not, it is a dead chess piece on the board, the use is not small, used to do work, occupying and searching for the root.
The Lin family’s second son is just a fool to be used, but half dead, the scout master everything is in the dark, only greedy Fan sister’s mouth rouge style, reading stupid, how do you know the more attractive woman is more of a scourge, a crappy chance encounter arrangement, on the soul, do not know how to bring into the North Liang Wang Fu, God knows the East Qiao Lin family know how the heart of such a catastrophe as ash, last night, the assassination is not fine, very good, the assassination is not fine. Last night’s assassination is not fine, very rough, through a dog in a hurry to jump over the wall, by entering the house of Miss Fan to take the opportunity to sightseeing to depict the map of the royal residence, as well as the portrait of the son Xu Fengyen, and then look for an opportunity to assassinate, except that their calculations are far worse than the Liang Wangfu side of the calculations of the people, all suffered, as for the Fan woman behind the scenes of the pusher and biaoqiao Lin family downfall, at this time is sitting in the pavilion of listening to the tide of the pavilion in the wine of the wine warm Xu Fengyen are not too lazy to pay attention to, he just He just wants to know if Fan Xiaochai regrets going to his death in vain for a man he has never met.
Xu Fengnian for these people moth to the flame, without any pity, the world’s beautiful women are always like the rain and prairie night grass a virtue, less a crop, the next year on the emergence of a new crop, in addition to the inexhaustible burned, all the mercy of the past, it is not exhausting, Xu Fengnian really do not have the leisure, not to mention the three years of the loss of the dog like the hardship of the travel, Xu Fengnian also know a lot of the city of the shallow world, remembered that the way to meet a bad smell of the same, and the world is a good place. On the way, he bumped into a young swordsman with a bad taste, and that guy always said that being merciful to the enemy is to have trouble with his own life, and it is said that he learned it from some of his predecessors who were not aspired to be famous, and every time he said it, he was splashing his mouth, and always sprayed Xu Fengyen’s face full of spittle.
Xu Fengyen still remember that can not afford to buy iron sword can only crossbody wooden sword guy, every time in the street to see the eyes of the sword ranger, flower picker bumped into the beauty of the lady exactly the same, if this guy knows that every day is forced to listen to his bragging about how the multiplied swordsmanship should be how the old Huang, that is that on the old monster of the king of the city of wudi can be a battle of the sword of the nine Huang, and the old man’s back sword box on the hide of five world’s number of famous swords, how would it feel? How would he feel? That guy who wanted to learn from a famous master, is he well now? Has he ever attained a mastery in the art of swordsmanship?
When we parted at the border of Southern Yan, that man said to Xu Fengyen: “When one day my brother becomes rich, I will treat you to the best beef with sauce, if one catty is not enough, then three catty, it’s all right!”
Three pounds of beef seemed to be the limit of his imagination.
The real jianghu, after all, there are fewer sword breaks the river power to pull the mountains and rivers of the top masters, more or that guy such a nobody, doing one by one unattainable comical and ridiculous dream of jianghu. Xu Fengyen rubbed his cheeks fiercely, saw Yuan Zuozong standing aside, quietly waiting for himself, Xu Fengyen hurriedly got up and moved the embroidered pier for the third grade Longwu general, Yuan Zuozong eyes surprised flashed away, sitting like a big bell of Honglv, and said with a straight face, “Your Highness, His Highness, His Highness asked me to ask how to dispose of the woman with the surname of Fan.”
Xu Fengnian smiled, “Do as you should.”
Yuan Zuozong nodded his head slightly, and when he received an unexpected reply, he immediately got up, ready to leave.
Xu Fengyen didn’t stop him, and not long after sitting down, he got up again and said, “Third Brother Yuan, let’s drink together when we have time, no drunkenness.”
Yuan Zuozong revealed a rare smile and said, “Good.”
Xu Fengyen took a pot of wine from the coffee table, carried it towards the Hearing Tide Pavilion, straight up to the eighth floor, met the master who buried his head to copy the book, Li Yishan, the word Yuan Ying, the cloaked and haggard man in the jianghu in the temple are not well-known, but in the Beiliang King’s Mansion, nobody dares to be a little disrespectful to the first guest of this mansion, Xu Fengyen sat on the sidelines, familiarly picked up the green gourd on the rosewood table and poured the wine into it, the aroma of wine overflowed for a while, the man said: “I’ll be back. For a time the wine fragrance overflowed, the man only then stopped writing, laughed softly: “Now you this body of powdered gas is finally faded a bit, three years of marching, or some benefit.”
Xu Fengyin heatedly smiled, then worried, “Master, old Huang went to Wudi City, can he retrieve that Huang Lu sword on the city wall?”
Li Yishan poured a mouthful of wine and gently shook his head.
Xu Fengyin was shocked, “The old kui at the bottom of the lake is already strong and unrivaled, old Huang is obviously a step stronger, in that East China Sea self-proclaimed city lord Wang Xianzhi, wouldn’t he really be invincible?”
Li Yishan held the green gourd, no longer drinking, just sniffing, slowly said, “Invincible? There are a handful of people above the first rank, Wang Xianzhi has been immersed in martial arts for his entire life and is close to being a master of Xuanxuan, but he can’t be called invincible. Nowadays, the martial arts world is dominated by a group of heroes, each with their own specialties, the past scene of one person at the top of the world will not appear now, and it is not possible in the future either. Moreover, the ultimate martial arts, but is to touch the threshold of the heavenly way, and then outside the temple martial arts to the world’s influence, very small, otherwise it would not have been your northern Liang iron horsemen to stampede the entire Jianghu. You do not want to learn martial arts, the big pillars of the country do not force, I also do not care, that’s it. A million soldiers are still bowing down, it is better to be a fearful traitor. Civilian officials may disturb the government, but a mere man will never mess up the country.”
Xu Fengnian was dumbfounded. The Liyang Dynasty has been tirelessly circulating this bloodless heartbreaking phrase for more than a decade: a million soldiers can be ambushed, but a national thief can be feared. The first half of the sentence is to pinch the nose to praise the great pillar state’s martial arts greatness, there is a suspicion of cudgeling, and the second half of the sentence is to show the dagger to show the bones of the stick to kill. This is said to be very learned, even after hearing Xu Xiao clapped his hands and laughed, but after laughing scolded a “Shangyin Palace of this gang of empty talk of the Qingliu, should be killed”.
Li Yishan carrying a wine pot to make room, let Xu Fengnian pen copying the solitary book, Xu Fengnian has long been accustomed to, the word is practiced not weak, but never been able to raise what the righteousness, whenever you see Xu Fengnian sketching is not right, take the green gourd to knock a little. Li Yishan let this His Highness copied a lamp time, sit down again, Xu Fengyen lying on one side, side look at the master, pale face white hair people decline situation, yellow scrolls and green lamps empty heart, I heard that the world’s most bitter is the decline of the situation, cultivation is the most difficult is the empty heart, what kind of experience, only to let the master so heart like water? Li Yishan did not raise his head and said softly, “Go, look at the guest you invited into the Hearing Tide Pavilion, about to ascend to the third floor.”
Xu Fengyen let out an oh, quietly descended the stairs.
On the second floor, Xu Fengyen saw that under the ancient bookshelves piled up to form a whole wall of books, stood that obscure identity of White Fox Child Face, holding a yellowish martial arts codex in his left hand, his right hand index finger regularly tapping on his polished forehead, the sheathed Embroidered Winter Sword was inserted into the bookshelf as a marker.
White fox child face just glanced at Xu Fenian, then once again lowered his head.
Making a fool of himself, Xu Fengyen had no choice but to retreat.
The large Beiliang royal residence, as if only His Highness the Shizi is such an idle and disorganized person, the kind that fades out into a bird.
In the middle of the year, Dazhu Guo chose a good day to give his son a crown ceremony at the clan temple. Very unusual is the hall of the king of Beiliang eldest son of the crown ceremony, done not as grand as the general rich family, not only the invitation of the guests is quite sparse, even His Highness’s two sisters and a younger brother did not arrive, a fresh Xu Fengyen was led into the temple by Xu Xiao, sacrificed high heaven and earth ancestors, crowned three times, respectively, is the crown of black linen vinyl, white buckskin ben and red and black veil crown, Xu Fengyen’s head of the small three crowns, involved too much vision and Attention, the first crown, is away from the sun dynasty all the temple hall big members are concerned about, because it represents the son of his highness can enter the dynasty as a government, the second crown symbolizes more practical and long, because the north liang 300,000 iron cavalry are waiting to see, as for the third crown, there is only some symbolic significance, under the comparison of the importance of the people.
Knot hair and the crown of His Royal Highness was busy all day, face taut stiff, and came to the House of Beiliang border officers salute one by one, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, enjoying the Wutongyuan personal maids tea and kneading the shoulders knocking the back pinch legs, rest almost, Xu Fengyen this is personally straightened out the head and crown dress, and finally with Xu primrose to the tomb of the Princess, a pair of tall green and white jade lions are vivid, all the mother lion young children’s lively Styling, the right hand lioness protects three young lions, symbolizing the princess and the three children, the young lions are the eldest daughter Xu Liphu, the second daughter Xu Weixiong and the youngest son Xu Longxiang, the left hand lioness is only bowing down and kissing one of the young lions, the Wangfei’s favoritism towards her eldest son Xu Fengnian, before and after death are no end! Xu Fengyen stood in front of the stone lion, his eyes red. Grand Pillar State Xu Xiao sighed softly, Junior Feng Nian whenever he felt aggrieved, he stole away to this place and stayed for the whole night, no matter how cold or hot it was, he never got sick.
Wangfei tomb surrounded by white jade built into two city walls, forming a city within a city of great weather, the main God Road is up to sixty feet long, in accordance with the canonical system, the dynasty emperor on both sides of the God Road placed stone beasts, but nine, here there are fourteen kinds!
Nearly one hundred stone carvings, God set Jing Sheng, through a gas, imposing as a rainbow, in addition to the mausoleum, the height of the top of the treasure and the size of the underground palace are far beyond the dynasty of any one of the feudal lords, and the construction of a unique without precedent of a dresser and two maiden graves, when the tomb of the Princess of Kings was first built, was criticized by the countless people of the world, the emperor’s imperial study was almost overnight full of impeachment of the rustication, but they were all pushed down and ignored.
Dazhu Guo with a humped back and lame legs stood in front of the grave, silent.
After Xu Fengyen finished paying his respects, he squatted in front of the grave and softly said, “Father, I’ll stay a little longer.”
Dazhuguo softly said, “Don’t catch a cold, your mother will be heartbroken.”
Xu Fengnian hmmmed.
The Human Slayer Northern Liang King walked on the Main Divine Path, silently reciting in his heart, exactly three hundred and sixty-five steps.
The only one of the great pillars of this powerful dynasty clearly remembered that year when he first entered the dynasty to be honored, from that red lacquer gate to the door of the Kunji Hall Hall, for the first time he was young and energetic, he walked two hundred and eighty-four paces, and then when he got older and added a limp in his leg, the more he walked the more he slowed down and the longer he went, but it never exceeded three hundred and sixty-five paces.
Forty years of military career, only to come to this position today, Xu Snap is not ashamed of his heart, not afraid of heaven and earth, not afraid of ghosts and gods.
Dazhuguo walked out of the main divine path, turned his head and looked around, the child must be humming that little song, “Ballad of the Spring God”, the child’s mother taught him back then.
Xu Snapdragon thought of a secret letter that was urgently delivered to the desk only last night at three o’clock, and hesitated whether this letter should be handed over or not, Feng Nian has just been crowned on the big day, this letter came at a very inopportune time ah.
The king of Beiliang walked along the trail to the top of Qingliang Mountain, seemingly single, in fact, all the way to countless dark sentries, not to mention the army carefully selected out of the soldiers, then only two lines away from the realm of the great master from the first grade masters, there are close to three. Xu Xiao thinks that the head is still worth some gold, when I was young, I thought I would die in the battlefield, was picked by the enemy, the horse leather is also a quick thing, the higher the title, it is inevitable that more and more cherish, it is not simply afraid of death, but Xu Xiao has always insisted that today’s glory, are countless brothers to sacrifice their lives to spell out, too early to go down to the netherworld, can not afford to be buried in those who are buried in the north and south of the Yangtze River everywhere in the souls of the heroes, especially these people are most of the family family, there must be his family. Household family, always have to have him to take care of to rest assured that the tree invites a big wind, the tree down wind is even bigger, the family and the dynasty is no different, fight and guard are not easy, Xu Snapdragon saw more than due to exhaustive thinking and died young master of the house.
He walked into the Yellow Crane Tower, slightly cold and gloomy, climbed to the top of the mountain and then climbed to the top of the building, as the king of the different surnames of the Xuanhe Piao Bing life, stood with his hands, no bachelor son of the sick chanting to shoot all over the railing, just looking out over the city at night, when the knees of the two sons and two daughters, under the command of three hundred thousand iron horsemen, six volunteers, the king of the House of masters like clouds, clear guest think tanks countless, the disciples of the old man all over the dynasty and the wild up and down, a trick of the dark chess fell rooted in every direction, the so-called The so-called gold and jade full of wealth can rival the country, but so. Of course, the political enemies of the same countless enemies, that Fan surnamed little girl, is not a blind bird to throw themselves into the net? Only this kind of small role, Xu Snapdragon generally do not bother, Beiliang military affairs are already busy enough, every few years on the border is the smoke, but most of them are his hands ignited. But also to cope with the imperial city side of the wind blowing grass, even the jianghu things have long been not to pay attention to. Xu primrose rubbed his hands, accidentally remembered a poem he heard when he was young, but unfortunately can only remember fragments of the imperial city to see what, blurred, but the end of the sentence Xu primrose always keep in mind: “Fifty years of Hongye, to say with the ghost of the mountain to listen to.”
Standing in the empty corridor of the Yellow Crane Tower, Xu Snapdragon stayed until the east rose in the white of the fish’s belly, and only then softly said, “Yin, send the letter to Feng Nian, he has finally performed the crown ceremony.”
There was no explicit response.
Xu Snap patiently waited for the rising sun to rise.
Fortunately, the two special chess pieces in addition to the heavenly trunk of the dead, so that the great pillar state is very satisfied, these maximum but twenty-five years old children, the smallest is only twelve years old, these spend a lot of financial and material resources to cultivate the hidden stakes, perhaps not as good as from the first grade of the masters of the martial arts for the time being, but when it comes to killing techniques, but not at all bad, can kill people in order to save people, Xu Snapdragon more than anyone else is sure of this point.
Xu primrose downstairs when asked: “ugly. Yuan Zuozong can convince my son, then Chen Zhi Bao?”
In the shadows, there was a raspy voice like a dull knife grinding stone, “Reporting back to the Lord, I can’t.”
Xu Snap rubbed his temples and laughed, “If this king remembers correctly, in the battle at the tomb of the princess in Luoyang, Chen Zhi Bao saved your life, with such a friendship, you don’t know how to make a round for him? Not afraid that he will die violently today?”
Silence.
Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.
In Northern Liang, this order cannot be messed up. Whoever messes up dies. If the “ugly” person who is destined to hide behind the curtain for Chen Zhi Bao, it is only a small matter of taking one more life.
Xu Snapdragon’s mind is unpredictable, muttering to himself: “Little man butcher.”
