Chapter 078 – Dragon Bird Beauty Drum of Daliang
Qingyang Palace inner courtyard private residence, Qingcheng King and his son Wu Shizhen sitting opposite each other, martial arts cultivation is mediocre, but the immortal temperament can be comparable to the Dragon Tiger Mountain Tianshi Wu Lingsu fingers pinch the lid of the celadon cup, gently dispersing the aroma of tea. Wu Shizhen did not want to drink tea, a face of indignation.
Wu Lingsu took a sip of the tea and laughed, “Hate that His Royal Highness who is even more arrogant than you?”
Wu Shizhen gritted his teeth and said, “I only hate that I don’t have great power in my hands, I don’t hate Xu Fengnian, on the contrary, I admire this son of the Northern Liang King, where is he an unscrupulous fop, he is clearly a connoisseur of pretending to be weak, the three states of Liang, Yong, and Quan were all fooled by his acting with the human slaughter!”
Wu Lingsu nodded and said, “It’s good that you know and I know about this matter, don’t talk about it with others. Those who see this clearly naturally saw it long ago and don’t need us to remind them. Those who don’t see it clearly are outsiders who can’t say anything, and you’re just being treated as a joke when you say it. Since our situation is lower than others, we have to have the patience to bow down, which is not cowardice, it’s knowing the time. Shizhen, my father created the Shenxiao sect, which was regarded as a big joke by several ancestral courts of Dragon Tiger Wudang, but who will raise their heads and who will lower their heads after a few hundred years, hey, who dares to say that they know? Roughly study the history of the Dragon Tiger Wudang early allusions, will know that their grandmasters than I am the King of Qingcheng can be a hundred times more shabby, for my father at least was appointed king, the exclusive possession of Qingcheng’s heavenly paradise, but this is not a small property, want to inherit ten generations of a hundred generations, and other Taoist ancestry to compete with each other, but also depends on whether you can take the lead to take up the responsibility of the original tea with you, just afraid that you are only focusing on the hatred of Xu Fengyin, the misuse of my Shenxiao faction hundred years of plans! I wanted to persuade you, but whether or not you can listen to me depends on the fate of Qingyang Palace, but now it seems that my father was over-anxious, and my son is really the one who can accomplish great things. Shizhen, I might as well be honest with you, if your pattern is limited to one mountain and one palace, I will make up my mind not to let you go down to the mountain to make a breakthrough, and if you do, it will be in vain if you go to the capital.”
Wu Shizhen smiled and said, “Father, this trip is to beg you to agree to let Shizhen go to the capital.”
Wu Lingsu lowered his head and sipped his tea, “That’s good.”
Wu Shizhen inquired, “Then how should we interact with Xu Fengnian? Die of old age? If not, how to grasp the scale?”
Wu Lingsu looked up at the odd sky outside the window that appeared to be stormy and said, “Not to get along with each other? You are wrong, if Qingyang Palace wants to grow, it will not be able to bypass the 300,000 iron cavalry of Northern Liang behind Ren Tu, my father sends you a sentence, if Xu Fengyen survives by fluke, and really becomes the King of Liang, there is no harm in being a dog for him. But if Xu Snapdragon has an accident, or if Xu Snapdragon dies of old age, and this son of the world does not have that life, the Xu family will fall apart at the end of the day, and you can beat the dog. For my father has picked a few precious books, tomorrow by you to send, to the capital, and the gang of royal relatives, the more they tell His Royal Highness’s domineering and detrimental, Xu Fengyen the more happy, our Qingyang Palace and the Northern Liang royal family this incense love is really solid. Do you really think that the court of those who use their milk to abuse the big pillar state of the literati, are with the Northern Liang King of the enemy of the Qingliang loyalists? Wrong, really want to privately go down the trail, it is difficult to guarantee that is the big pillar state’s disciples of the old officials. Only this file in the root of the rotten broken thing, no one wants to care. Even the power in the hands of the chief minister Zhang Julu, also can not care. This is the temple of the ridiculous and pathetic, full of civil and military a few people loyal a few people treacherous, where to distinguish between the peace and prosperity, only in the chaotic world lost the spring and autumn of the great cause of the West Chu East Vietnam, the few defeated states, only to let the world to see the true face.”
Wu Shizhen said softly, “If father goes to participate in politics, he will be able to turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other, no worse than that Zhang Shoufu.”
Wu Lingsu reached out and nodded to his son, laughing: “I forgot who taught you this ass-kissing skill? There is no need to use it on my father. When you get to the capital, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to show off your skills.”
Wu Shizhen looked out of the window and said softly, “To be honest, really jealous of Xu Fengnian, that was brought up to the mountain by him one hundred Beiliang light cavalry, obviously to primitive and good fighting far better than the Yongzhou armor, this is only one hundred people, the Beiliang claimed that the iron cavalry of three hundred thousand, if you want to rebel …….”
Wu Lingsu frowned and reprimanded: “Silence.”
Wu Shizhen laughed: “Speaking casually, I know the weight.”
……
When the North Liang Wangfei side of the overlay armor female maidservant, after removing the armor unexpectedly do female crown Taoist nuns, not only for the Qingcheng King to complete the Zero Treasure Scripture, but also created the famous Shenxiao Sword Formation, maidservant is still like this, that personally to the Spring and Autumn national war Wangfei back then and what is the elegance of the style? Zhao Yutai murmured softly, “Come, come, try to hear who is playing the drum of beauty, the Wu family has a daughter wearing onyx. Come, come, try to see who is the human butcher on earth, Xu word king flag in the deer …… Shizi Your Highness, this word and song are good, I heard that the second county princess was in the Wudang Mountain that year to the statue of Zhenwu Emperor engraved the words of the sentenced to three thousand miles, the only woman who can write such a swinging Northern Liang song, but in the eyes of the slave girl, the two county princesses are more like the great generals, and His Highness is like Miss. It would be even better if you learned the sword instead of the sword. The slave girl has been guarding the tomb on the mountain for more than ten years, waiting for this day. The slave girl is always reluctant to guard the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow. Your Highness, tomorrow you will go down the mountain and take away the sword that Miss made the world’s heroes bow down back then, right? Here, bury the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow! Miss said to the slave girl that in the future, if Your Highness meets a good woman who happens to practice the sword, it will be considered a bride price. It’s a pity that miss can’t hand it over …… herself.”
Xu Fengnian said softly, “Good. I will take away the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow. Auntie, but Fengyen doesn’t dare to guarantee that he will meet a woman like Mother, so he might not be able to give it away for the rest of his life.”
Zhao Yutai reached out and touched His Highness the Shizi’s chin, back then, the little young master that was powdered and carved, all had solid scruff, her look was kind from the bottom of her heart, where was half a bit of the brash and roughness that was present when facing Wu Lingsu Wu Shizhen’s father and son, she looked at Xu Fengyen in a daze, as if looking at the most close to her juniors, the child has finally grown up and made good progress, the elders naturally have eyes full of pride and gratification, Zhao Yutai slowly said: “Emotionless people seem to be emotionless, but on the contrary, they are the most sentimental. Which family woman can be Your Highness like to fall in love, is the great fortune. This point your highness and the great general exactly the same, maidservant only hope that your highness earlier to meet that her, earlier to start a family, mutual love, do not go to forget each other in the jianghu temple. Miss said martial arts heavenly way in the end but are a word of love, people if no love, how to Avenue can be said, can not escape the bamboo basket to fish the moon, so the Taoist only one person to get the road of the chickens and dogs, and the Buddhist many bodhisattvas to send a grand wish, but also the compassionate people. Your Highness, compared to your chest with a gully, the maidservant is more delighted with Your Highness’s remembrance of old Mengtou Xiao Shanzha, these nobodies.”
Xu Fengnian lamented, “But these can’t win the heart of Beiliang’s army.”
Zhao Yutai’s depression that had been building up for more than a decade was swept away, and he made an unprecedented joke: “When Your Highness goes to the border of Beiliang and fights with the Great General, everything will naturally fall into place. I heard that the second county princess resent you practicing sword, your highness can hold on, can not change the original intention, good men can not personally carry soldiers to kill, unlike words. Slave girl’s biggest hope in this life is to wait to see your highness raise millions of soldiers to the north of Mang, will be that dynasty to be flattened.”
Xu Fengyen made a face and said, “Auntie, this job of leveling the dynasty is too technical, besides, if it succeeds, no one will be willing to give the reward, maybe His Majesty will be more concerned about when the flame of our Xu family will be broken.”
Unintentionally mention this, Zhao Yutai face of gloomy hostility, tone is calm, through a share of her sword art match the murderous sharpness, red eyes bleak said: “the world is settled, Miss pregnant with His Highness just six months, the old emperor heard the Jingwei Department of the phantom said Miss is expected to give birth to a child, will be impatient to unload donkeys, the battle, Miss hidden from the general, the sole person alone sword to the palace, face that the Finger Xuan realm three people and Tianxiang realm one person, although Miss success and retreat, but fell unable to heal the roots of the disease, into the northern Liang only a few years of peace and quiet, then ……”
Xu Fengyen woodenly looked to the opposite side of the listening lamp pavilion, the top of the mountain for no reason sudden rain pouring down, after the rainstorm, the clouds and mist, thousands of lamps and lanterns lit up, the pavilion in the Xu Fengyen Zhao Yutai and always stood outside the pavilion of the green bird three people as if they were in heavenly fairyland.
A wild beast hissing sound came from Qingcheng Mountain, drumming endlessly.
Xu Fengnian was surprised, “Auntie, what is this?”
Zhao Yutai smiled and said, “There is a beast in Qingcheng Mountain that has lived for hundreds of years, named Tiger Kui, juvenile one-horned and four-legged, adult two-horned and six-legged, with black scales all over its body, and once it gets angry, its body will be red. This adult female tiger kui originally only hibernate in the rare mountain, but pregnant with young kui, appetite skyrocketed, in the past two years will be from the Qingyang Peak some close, slave girl had to take the sword to go to a glimpse of the real appearance of the tiger kui ferocious, especially pregnant in the body, it is more brutal and vicious, slave girl’s green astral sword was bitten off by it, can not help it, it can not help the slave girl, several times the fight, no result, and then slave girl will let it in the Qingyang Peak! Nearby wandering for food, according to ancient history, the beast Tiger Kui takes three years to conceive a child, and the delivery will probably be in the nearest time.”
Zhao Yutai listened to the continuous roar and eeped, wondering, “The Tiger Kui seems to have met a comparable opponent, there are still people or beasts in Qingcheng Mountain that can go against it?”
Xu Fengyen was baffled.
That night, Xu Fengyen went back to his room and still heard two distinct hissing sounds, which did not fade away until late at night.
On the second day, Xu Fengyen descended the mountain, holding a compartment of red lacquered sword box in his hands.
In the box was the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow.
Qingcheng King Wu Lingsu personally escorted him to the Resident Crane Pavilion, and Wu Shizhen respectfully presented three copies of the secret manual with both hands.
Inside the bell tower, stood the Qingcheng female crown Zhao Yutai.
This armor-covered maidservant would like to know who will come in the future to hold that Great Liang Dragon Sparrow Sword and beat that Beauty Drum for Miss’s most beloved Little Feng Nian.
