Xu Fengyen a hand holding a small hawthorn a hand holding the bird away, when the twenty years of the old Meng head of the downtrodden bandits have mixed feelings, when the old brothers saw the master and servant tour Qingcheng, blind know is fat to the flow of oil of the big goat, this hula ten or so people rushed up to the front and back to intercept, the old Meng just said as long as the money does not hurt, the courage of this too small boy will be on horseback and ran away, if not unfortunate to be hit by the branch to the downward spiral, but also He was really fleeing away, even with the horse tied to the Taoist temple when the fortress, the intention is to search the body and take the silver will be released, the old Meng head can not do that robbing money and kill the loss of virtue hook, unexpectedly accidentally searched from the body of this fat goat a few large collection of silver bills and some odd books, a group of old fellows all look dumbfounded, dare to say that this fat goat to the head of the wow, no need to Xu Fengyen begged for forgiveness, the old Meng head to take the initiative to take a Hundred taels of silver tickets, the rest of the full return, not the old Meng head as gold and silver as dirt, only the Qingcheng mountain several shares of peers are robbed because of the rich and powerful family, caused by the county soldiers in the room of a hundred or so armored soldiers, the bad luck of the nest to smash, good luck are also scared to sleep, the old Meng head does not want to pull a group of brothers to the downtown beheading the public.
Over and over, gathered in the Taoist temple to eat a little roasted game, fat sheep and grass bandits two groups of people surprisingly familiar with, this kid is not bold, but the skin is really as thick as a city wall, deadbeat follow them together with a section of half a decade of time, dawdling with food and drink addicted to every day to say that he is a big son of the north of the country side of the cheating words, who believe it na, put in a few thousand taels when they were the son of the king and his vassals, and so? Our old Meng Tou has seen the world, and then old Meng Tou kicked him off the mountain, we are doing the work of the head hanging from the waistband, in case the master and servant of the two good people to be dragged down what to do? Kid conscience is not bad, down the mountain before handing over an extra one hundred two, said to stay and so birds grow up to buy clothes rouge, but this three years of business is slow, and by the Qingyang Palace a few small fairy blackmail to go most of, and then by the relationship between the good several groups of peers have borrowed no return a few times, but also the rest of the fart, half a year ago, had to borrow with the side of the peak of the Yingxuan thirty silver, the result of the disaster is at the door.
Liu reed pole full of sweat ran over, mouth skin white trembling said: “old Meng head, Ying Xuan Feng gang of bastards are out of gas, all to that guy with a big sword to kill clean!”
Old Meng Tou jumped up in shock and said in dismay, “What?!”
Old Liu is as thin as a reed stick, but he has a daughter-in-law who is two times his weight, and he has a little daughter who is getting more and more handsome, this life is really hard to say. Old Liu wiped the sweat and sat on the ground, panting, whispered: “This swordsman is too domineering, a sword down is several lives, can withstand him a few times? They all died! There is not a single corpse. Old Meng, you are the one with the best brain among us, think about it, are we lucky or doomed? If we run into the Ying Xuan Feng gang, we’ll just have to fight for our lives, but Xu Fengyen is a real person, if he remembers his revenge from back in the day, he’ll toss us around like we’re playing?”
Old Meng thought for a moment and said, “Good thing, Xu Fengyen doesn’t look like a murderous official’s son, he really likes Little Hawthorn and Sparrow, we can all see that, it can’t be that bad, otherwise there would be no reason for us to live.”
Liu Reed Pole asked in a low voice: “What is this Xu Fengnian in the end?”
Old Meng Tou reached out and touched his back, wet, shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Liu Reed Pole marveled, “Huh, where is that servant Old Huang?”
Old Meng Tou said in a trance, “Have you ever seen a servant who runs no slower than a galloping horse? I didn’t dare ask for more silver back then because of this.”
Liu reed pole suddenly realized, a pat on the thighs of not a few taels of meat, accidentally patting the weight, and draw a mouthful of cold air.
Robbery always interface legs and feet do not like to shrink at the end of the hole crippled today ran that is like a rainbow, or to say that the piss, this crippled used to like to gag with Xu Fengyen, bragging about how the young than Xu Fengyen handsome and dashing, at this moment, no one face color shouted: “There are the Yamen people! Roughly glanced at, at least a hundred people, each riding a horse with a sword and crossbow, compared to the county’s gang of soldiers on the mountain siege, a day a place, old Kong cast a line, recognized that is the famous Northern Liang knife, Northern Liang knife na! This hundred people, not to mention us, is the whole Qingcheng Mountain can be flattened!”
Old Meng and Liu Reed looked at each other.
Thief God, we can only wait for death. Fortunately, Little Hawthorn and Sparrow are not here, so it’s not a bad death.
Unexpectedly, this one hundred leading horse riding elite male light cavalry to the creek bank, the leader of the heavy armor halberd-wielding general to take off his armor, smiling and looking at the gathering of the old Meng head of this group of rare good-hearted vermin, as softly as possible, said: “The last general Ning Emei. The temple …… Xu Gongzi said, shall not disturb Mr. Old Meng, only our cavalry has always regarded the war horse as a robe, all the way up the mountain, can not find water, had to overstep the rules to come to harass, Mr. Old Meng do not blame.”
The old Meng head with a mouthful of authentic thick Yongzhou accent, confused and asked: “General said what?”
The halberd Ning Emei patted his beloved horse, whose body was like ink, and smiled, “The horse wants to drink water, and rest for a while.”
A big stone rolled down in Old Meng’s heart, and he quickly said, “General, don’t be polite, feel free to drink, even if you drink all the water in the stream, it’s no big deal!”
Ning Emei gently clasped his fists and turned back to instinctively snapped, “One pillar of incense, hold on tight!”
The one hundred Phoenix Character Battalion cavalry didn’t make any noises, only the sound of horses drinking water and snorting remained.
Liyang dynasty has been recognized war horse spring and autumn the most male, horse political prosperity matchless, the court is particularly concerned about, martial arts book said horse person armor army of the country’s great use, the rest of the spring and autumn of several countries either absentmindedly, or such as western chu and other big countries really do not have a large pasture, innate loss for a while. Beiliang called three hundred thousand iron cavalry, but also on each horse from birth will be recorded in detail in the book, there are almost tedious and harsh military law, where cut off the horse material and cut off the rations of soldiers with the same crime, decapitation. Non-war time shall not easily take the horse hunting, if the borrower ride, flogging one hundred. Anyone who throws away the stirrups and saddles will be flogged one hundred times.
Ning Emei led a hundred light cavalry travel, the same to strictly follow the most basic marching regulations: ten miles a break, brush the horse’s mouth and nose, thirty miles a drink feed.
In Northern Liang, anyone who loses a horse in battle, beheading. The strength of the battle to death and injury to the horse, reward.
Beiliang iron horsemen 甲天下, not by literati scholar with mouth shouted out, but horse pedal six countries plus half of the rivers and lakes a one iron hoof trampled out!
Once in Yongzhou a schoolyard miscellaneous will be claimed to have thrown himself into the army on the battlefield of the hole cripple cringed and raised his voice, carefully asked: “This great general, you are the northern Liang people?”
Ning Emei laughed: “I am not a great general, but we are indeed the Northern Liang army.”
Kong Lame gave a thumbs up and said, “Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, there’s nothing to say! When I was in the Yongzhou army, I heard a lot about the great achievements of the 300,000 iron riders of Northern Liang, and today I finally saw it with my own eyes.”
Ning Emei smiled and didn’t say anything.
Kong cripple squatted aside to watch carefully, this one hundred people Northern Liang cavalry compared to the Yongzhou soldiers, more than a little bit more majestic? He estimated that three Yongzhou soldiers against one Northern Liang, are hanging!
Ning Emei waited for the horses to finish drinking, put on their armor again, and said, “Mount up!”
More than a hundred light cavalry mounted their horses in the same motion, flowing like a cloud.
Old Meng Tou’s group of people looked dumbfounded, only to feel that this group of Northern Liang cavalry just mounted the horse action is permeated with a heavy murderous aura, if it is a charge up, who dares to block?
Liu reed pole looked at the Northern Liang cavalry neat and orderly gradually leave, tsk: “Old Meng, convinced, really by you, that Xu Fengyen is the father’s generation for the officer’s little brother, may still be the general’s son miles.”
Old Meng Tou sighed, his eyes complex: “General’s son? Said small! Old Liu, we are here in Yongzhou, ordinary Northern Liang cavalry can waltz into Mount Qingcheng? Wouldn’t the counties along the way have fought it out long ago?”
Kong Lame nodded: “That makes sense.”
Liu Reed Pole laughed, “It has to be even bigger, Old Meng Tou, then why don’t you just say that Xu Fengyen is the son of that Great Pillar State, there’s nothing bigger than that, right? Huh? Xu Fengnian? Isn’t that the same surname as the Great Pillar State Bei Liang King?!”
The three of them glared at each other you and I glared at you.
Old Meng Tou who didn’t dare to take a breath and was almost suffocated finally remembered to exhale and whispered, “It doesn’t look like it.”
Kong Lame nodded, “Not like that!”
Liu Reed Pole chimed in, “Doesn’t look like it at all!”
Qingyang Peak steep and precipitous, like a heavenly sword out of the sky, the so-called lookout mountain run dead horse, really want to go to the top of the mountain Qingyang Palace there is still a long way to go, may have to night to barely reach the top. The good thing is that all the way to the picturesque scenery, ancient trees in the sky deep valley, cliffs and stone carvings of apes and monkeys, and not boring, to know that many of the original belief in the Jiu Dou Mi Dao old man in order to be able to go to the top of the Qingyang Peak to burn incense, to see that the thousands of lamps towards the heavenly court of the sacred lamps of the miraculous, tireless, into the mountains after the ability to bring their own food for ten days of walking! Xu Fengyen and Little Hawthorn rode together on the same horse, while Birdie was carried by Yu Youwei, the little ninny was very fond of the white cat Wu Mei Niang, and just happened to be carried in her arms.
Xu Fengyen raised his head to look through the lush ancient trees at the evening clouds and waves, gorgeous as the ocean.
Little Hawthorn held his hands holding the embroidered winter knife that he borrowed from Xu Fenian with a covetous face, and laughed: “We’re a little further up to the Resident Crane Pavilion, and I heard it’s going to be a few more hours walking from the top of the mountain, and at most an hour on horseback. I used to only dare to walk to the edge of the pavilion with Birdie, the fairy aunts are bad-tempered and will scold people.”
Xu Fengnian asked, “There are many kundao female crowns on the mountain?”
Little Hawthorn was confused, “What?”
Xu Fenian smiled and explained, “It’s female Taoist priests.”
Little Hawthorn nodded his head and made a face towards Birdie on the side, playfully saying, “A lot of them, all of them are better looking than Birdie, but just not as good looking as the sisters you brought.”
Xu Fengyen knocked the teenager’s head, smiled and lectured, “Teach you a truth that I spent countless silver taels to buy, when you see a pretty girl you have to vigorously praise Sinking Fish Falling Wild Geese Pouring Country Dumping City, not so pretty you have to praise good looking, really hard to look at, then at least you have to say showy and graceful and so on.”
Little hawthorn face difficult, honestly said: “This I can’t learn, you see the sparrow black, I say every day that she is white like a piece of black charcoal.”
Xu Fengnian laughed, “You’re not looking for a fight.”
The corner of Yu Youwei’s mouth curled up and touched the pigtails of the girl in her arms. Birdie followed and snickered.
She didn’t care who Xu Fengyen was, she only remembered Xu Fengyen who taught her to blow the leaf whistle.
He said he would come to see her and would take her to Qingyang Palace to see the immortals.
