Chapter 127: The Devil
From the beginning to the end, King Jing’an Zhao Heng did not mention Princess Pei Nanwei.
It was true that the king’s widowhood was thinner than paper.
Xu Fengyen dismounted and approached near the corpses of the Northern Liang light cavalry and the wounded, inserted his shako gun on the road, walked to a young light cavalryman who was being bandaged by general Yuan Mang himself, squatted down, and took over Yuan Mang’s work, all the light cavalrymen could clearly see that His Highness the son of the world was skillful in his movements, especially when he lowered his head and bit down on the knot of the cloth and knotted it solidly, that is, the great halberd Ning Emei was all moved. His Royal Highness’s disposition, they all the way to the line is also some understanding, the ghost gate pass in the water turbulence in the dangers of saving people, but since then in the boat has never been with whom to get close to, and later with the Qingzhou division of the water battle, the first to fight, can be half a point of retreat, folded the northern Liang army sharp? Even the Prince of Jing’an gave to the water to do a dog in the water! Who dares to say again that if he was present, he would have to hang that Gu Jiantang’s old deputy lieutenant of the eastern ban on the head of Ying rafters is an empty word?
Today, not to mention the domineering out of the sword to save themselves, the Feng word camp glimpse, already feel the sword is amazing, said just now personally led eighty riders to face six hundred heavy cavalry, but also a gun to pick over and stabbed to death that brawn is not bad Qingzhou fierce generals!
Before the battle only said the word draw the knife, after the battle only said the word close the knife, this temperament, how similar to the king of Northern Liang?
And at this time, silent to the identity of the difference of eighty thousand miles of small cavalryman bandage wounds, and why ever pretentious nonsense half a sentence?
Before Xu Fengyen got up, he gently said to the red-eyed cavalryman, “I know your name, your name is Wang Chong, when I was practicing my sword on the bow of the boat on Chunshen Lake, you were the one who guarded the night.”
Xu Fengyen paused and said, “The one who was on night watch with you at that time was called Lin Heng, he died in battle, he was stabbed to death by Wang Mingyin with his halberd, I remember that at that time in the prow of the boat he had a quiet argument with you, Lin Heng had a rare chance to put in a good word on my behalf, saying that my practicing the sword was not a flowery gesture, but it was a pity that he died.”
Xu Fengyen got up, drew his shako gun, walked towards the carriage, and said flatly, “I hope I don’t die again.”
More than ninety White Horse Boxers, regardless of whether they were injured or not, knelt down in unison and said in a deep voice, “Phoenix Character Battalion is willing to fight to the death for His Highness the World Son! Do not retreat!”
In the distance, Princess Pei Nanwei of Jing’an’s face blanched, her eyes complicated.
……
Reeds in the scattered village houses side, the old man got up to leave, hand grabbed a handful of grass available everywhere as divination, this is a lost ancient divination, divination grass can be picked everywhere, but not everyone can divination to peep the sky, so including the tortoise shell, including the ancient eight sorting to divination to start the most easy to get to the road is the most difficult, the old Confucian look like the old man looks like carelessly tearing again and again tearing, divining grass thrown a ground, out of the reeds, coincidentally or not coincidentally, he bumped into a small, but the old man was not able to get to the road. The old Confucian-looking old man, seemingly careless, tore and tore, divining grass, out of the reeds, coincidentally or not coincidentally bumped into a young man from another through the dense reeds, followed by a like heavenly soldiers of the red armor of the generals, holding a huge sword, imposing.
The young man is not annoyed not happy, just muttering something, see the old man after the start is not on guard, but afraid of the puppet behind the scare to the unrelated people, carefully measured, relieved, smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, appear extraordinarily harmless, stopping, apparently to let the old man first, whether love young people is not good to say, respect for the old is full. The old man seems not to be concerned, rubbing shoulders, said softly: “Zhao Kai, your mother told you whether she gave birth to you before, had a dream that the sky opened a few zhang, four celestials holding the sun to? Don’t believe me, when you were born, I witnessed the red sun coming out at night and the red light surrounding the room. As for you six years old when the white snake, rumored to be the youngest son of the White Emperor, but is false, but to fulfill the Chintian Supervisor Red Emperor beheading the white dragon’s saying, is the old man intentionally teasing that South Huaiyu that old fool.”
Zhao Kai opened his mouth wide and froze like a wooden chicken, then trotted up to follow behind the old Confucian scholar and asked with a smile, “Old sir, you know my mother and I?”
The old man lightly laughed and snickered, “Don’t worry, I’m not your grandfather.”
Zhao Kai cried and laughed, waved his hand and let the talisman will be red armor in the red armor can be an armor to defeat the four armor of the gold armor hidden, half afraid of the identity of the mysterious to the extreme of the old man’s heart, shyly said, “It is only good to be grandpa. Old gentleman, or you give to say my mother’s past?”
The old man’s footsteps do not stop, shaking his head and said: “All are some sad things tragic things negative people, what can be said there is nothing to listen to. Stories stories, is the deceased things, more talk is not useful.”
Zhao Kai said: “Hey, the old gentleman really have great knowledge, no wonder the South Supervisor are going to be deceived. This explanation of the story is really wonderful!”
The old man laughed and scolded, “You kid, to this day you still don’t know that Nan Huaiyu is surnamed Nan Huai instead of Nan? thanks to that old guy who still hates to give all his granddaughters to you.”
Zhao Kai ah, sweating, “Kid really do not know that the old supervisor is surnamed Nanhuai ah, there is such an odd compound surname?”
The old man waved his hand nonchalantly: “Stay away from the old man, you kid body that the Qi is too strong, don’t harm the old man can’t play chess in the future. In these twenty years, in terms of the world’s qi, there’s only a little girl surnamed Jiang who can overpower you.”
Zhao Kai still didn’t have any half-hearted demeanor, and followed behind the old man, just like he had picked up a treasure on the road.
The old man looked back, said: “Zhao family out of you such a kid, also counted the luck is not bad, just now the old man in the reeds with a little girl doll said some words, you go to ten miles away from the carp Guanyin Temple, later she will be single and go, if she saw the reeds in the fire, you be sure to pull, the second girl has a woman in the thirty-six items of the second class of the young phoenix noble fate If she sees the fire in the reeds, you must hold on to her. And then there is the temple will have a small Western Guanyin one to meet with you, you lost four consecutive Fu will red armor, if she is helped, it is the same as forty red armor, she and a few people are ten years after the most outstanding characters in the jianghu, the previous hundred years only to be able to come out of the two or three Land Immortals, this one hundred years is strange, allow the old man pinch finger counting, four, five, six, seven, at least seven, plus that of your arch-enemy, maybe eight, tsk tsk! The first time I saw this, it was a rare and lively scene for a thousand years. All this is due to two people, one of whom is far away in the North Mang sky, and the other is close at hand, that’s you. Zhao Kai, you didn’t go to hell in a handbasket. That Bei Liang Shi Zi, how can you win? Old me is very curious.”
The young man who had been acting as if he had no heart asked with a smile, “Old Sir, could it be that the world is going to be in chaos again? More chaos than the Spring and Autumn State War?”
Was it gibberish, or was it right on the money?
The old man just lightly glanced at him: “If I say yes, then I say no, then I say no? Wouldn’t you go and wait by yourself?”
Zhao Kai said with a bitter face: “I’m afraid I won’t live to see that day.”
The old man snickered, “You’re such a vulgar and funny guy.”
Trotting along the way Zhao Kai scratched his head and said: “Not interesting, not interesting, when I was a child used to being poor, timid only. But the kid to see the old gentleman dragon walk, really high people!”
The old man is trying to say something, Zhao Kai saw a shocking scene, just been praised by him dragon walking tiger walk extremely elegant old gentleman was a carrying sunflowers of the young girl, with a powerful whip leg knocked out, fortunately the old gentleman patted the body dust will be safe and sound to stand up, estimation is no face again in front of Zhao Kai talk about the sky and the earth, accelerate the pace forward, and the more absurd picture appeared, a big cat jumped out of the the reeds, followed the young girl, and disappeared from view together with the old gentleman. Stopping at a standstill, Zhao Kai said with heartfelt emotion, “The old gentleman this fall can fall out of the immortal style, admire!”
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment, and really went to seek that one carp Guanyin Temple.
Over there, Zhao Kai’s heart in the old fairy said: “Daughter ah, in the future in front of outsiders to give me a little face, okay, I will be the life of the most life-saving martial arts taught to you, do not ask you to give me the old man in the future to the end of the old age, at least meet to give a smile is not it?”
Shoulder carrying a sunflower followed by a stout cat behind the young girl hesitated for a moment, very seriously face squeeze out a raw smile.
The old man said helplessly, “That’s just it.”
The next is the old man’s self-talk, there is a question and no answer: “Early told you that the Northern Liang Shizi is not good to kill, but did not believe, this time missed, right? It will be difficult for you to find another opportunity next.”
“Jing An Wang side, you don’t find his bad luck, Zhao Heng is still a bit of ability and luck, Wang old monster has no heir in his life, when he agreed with the late emperor, he only recognized Zhao Heng so half of the righteous son.”
“Unsurprisingly, the next jianghu will be such as the first hundred years of the general group of scholars, the long competition, and then difficult to such as the old man and the old monster Wang as the respective cranes all look down on, today is Wang Mingyin was killed by you, the next you still have a lot of opportunities. However, the old man first with you say well, a product of four realms, that a few are expected to step into the realm of land immortals guys, you do not rush out, for one thing, afraid that you can not kill off, the second is more afraid that you kill to make the jianghu no fun. Don’t talk to old man huh, not allowed to pretend to laugh, old man listen to seepage panic. Daughter you think ah, and so they became the world in the eyes of the immortal character, you then kill it, is not the best?”
“Fang this surnamed Zhao kid, especially can not kill. Otherwise it would be a waste of the old man’s hard work to catch a white snake and put it in front of him. As for the young phoenix destiny, I’m bluffing, where under the sky so many coincidences. If it’s all over the street, it’s too worthless.”
“Alas, the old man in this life also take you this daughter can not help, who let you look like the old man when the early death of the daughter it.”
The old man sighed again and again and asked, “By the way, do you still like to collect hairpins now?”
The young girl who always gave a delicate and naive feeling when she didn’t kill people carried a sunflower and finally mercifully gave a hmmm.
The old man broke into a face of helplessness.
Who is he?
I killed three million people with a three-inch tongue! With the human butcher Xu Snap and the human cat Han Sable Temple and called the three great devils of the world!
Bing Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, sword, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea, poetry and other spring and autumn fourteen saints, I alone dominate the three ace.
The old man looked at the clear sky, squinted his eyes for no reason and said, “It is going to thunder.”
The young girl stood on her tiptoes and took that sunflower to cover the top of the old man’s head, laughed.
The old man laughed wistfully: “Rolling thunder in the sky, split dead Qi Xuan frame, can not split dead old man. Daughter ah, with you to tell a secret, the old man is really immortal.”
The young girl who turned her face away kicked the old man to the ground.
The old man this time is about no outsiders present, not in a hurry to get up, sitting on the dirt, muttering to himself: “When my father once said that everyone raised their children to hope for cleverness, I was clever misuse of a lifetime, but I hope that the child is stupid and Lu, no disasters and no difficulties to the public secretary. This is the human butcher son how do not understand, to his achievements today, if the birth of a moderate firstborn son, can ensure that several generations of wealth and stability, such a cheap good thing do not want to, have to teach a bucket of Kui to do the world of chaos of the devil, and even tired of Xu crippled himself to old age have to run around and toil, not half a day of enjoyment of the time, why the suffering is not? However, remembering that it was because of your son that the old man stumbled upon the maiden, I haven’t given you any major stumbling blocks over the years, but since you’ve already arrived at hereditary recklessness, in the future, let your son fend for himself, the old man wants to see how he can fight his way through the jianghu temples and the entire world.”
The old man turned his head to look at the young girl and murmured, “Is it worth it for a hairpin?”
The young girl still gave a hmmm.
The old man shook his head and nodded again and said, “In this world human life is lighter than a hairpin, right or wrong.”
The old man got up and slowly said: “Let’s go, after a while, Qingzhou cavalry will borrow the name of the bandits to kill, this reedbed next year is still lush, but the hundreds of lives are gone.”
