Chapter 154 – Recognizing Dimples in the Afterlife

Lu Baijie and Cao Changqing accompanied to the writing garden, Mr. Tangxi this boldness, let Xu Fengyen impressed, even he has to regard Cao Qingyi as a jackal, wolf, tiger and leopard, Lu family roots in Jiangnan, although thousands of miles away from the capital, ultimately not as high as the Emperor in Northern Liang that far away, and now the decline of the powerful valves, from the strategy of the river and mountain autonomy to the internal tilting, the emperor of the control of the high family more and more satisfied with the emperor’s control of the clan, once the Lu family is known to have “an affair” with Cao Changqing, may even involve the head of the family Lu Daolin lost the noble position of power, not to mention whether they can walk out of the capital alive. “Once the Lu family is known to have an affair with Cao Changqing, the family head Lu Daolin may be involved in the loss of the State Scholarship Priest’s noble position, not to mention, it is difficult to say whether he can walk out of the capital alive.

In this way, there are Lu Baijie and Cao Changqing came to write the garden of the dinner became more lively, this table, the martial arts evaluation on the list will have two, plus a Tongxi sword immortal, spread out very can scare the people of the jianghu, the table north cold dishes accounted for two thirds of the classic south of Jiangnan dishes also have one-third of the dishes are from the south of Jiangnan big kiln firing, the Spring and Autumn bowl of ceramic is not Xing inscription, at this time the sea is calm and calm, and then the inscription trend, the bowl of porcelain, the bowl of ceramic, the bowl of porcelain, the bowl of ceramic and the bowl of ceramic, the bowl of ceramic is not Xing inscription. Cao Changqing looked down in front of a small porcelain bowl with purple mouth and iron feet on the “heaven and earth with the spring” smear red paragraph, sighed, look quite regrettable, bowl porcelain fragile, bowl broken word death, where to call a pile of elegant things, only outsiders do not know Cao Changqing’s scholarly spirit, only as a high mind can not be guessed.

Xu Lip Hu left Xu Fengyen right Jiang Nai, nor favoritism, are given to clip food, Beiliang son occasionally with Princess Taiping chopsticks to the same dish, according to past circumstances, Xu Fengyen is most likely to go through a fight to win, this time Jiang Nai but the frost hit the eggplant, to see Xu Fengyen outstretched chopsticks on the shrinking back to the hand, a meal ate a lukewarm, the table on the contrary, the fish is the fish young Wei look the most calm and calm, discerning people are I can see that Xu Lip Hu is not close to this woman from the flower girl, after entering the Lu Mansion, I didn’t even say a word.

After a sumptuous dinner, Xu Lip Hu took his brother for a walk, Jiang Nai and the old sword god Cao Qingyi and Lu Baijie stayed in the Garden of Writings to enjoy the coolness, Xu Lip Hu sat in the pavilion by the lake and said worriedly, “Cao Changqing is determined to win over Jiang Nai.”

Xu Fengyen rubbed his cheeks, seeing that there were no outsiders in the vicinity, he said flatly, “This official Cao put out the word that he would go kill Chen Zhi Bao as long as he is willing to hand over his Princess Taiping.”

Xu Lipid Tiger drew a breath of cold air and frowned, “Really?”

Xu Fengnian laughed to himself, “With Cao Guanzi’s status, would he joke with a junior like me.”

Xu Lip Hu muttered to himself, “Do you think this is the path our father has long thought of?”

Xu Fengnian frowned, “Sister, are you saying that Xu Snapdragon predicted that this day would come? By having Cao Guanzi, an outsider, to break the ice? Wouldn’t that be a bit too divine? You have to know that Xu Snap’s chess power is really unimpressive, ah, he can kill each other with Priest Wang of Shang Yin Academy. Besides, Xu Snapdragon may not have the will to kill Chen Zhi Bao.”

Xu Lihu thought about it, carefully said: “If it is between killable and unkillable, keep Chen Zhi Bao, you can let you slowly go to the contest, if the heart must kill, and then let you step in as an executioner, may be able to establish the authority, but we are too much wear and tear of the Northern Liang, Chen Zhi Bao, in addition to the identity of the son of the righteous, but also the Northern Liang is only second to our father’s second person of power, the white-coated War fairy is not an oil lamp, willing to give our father as a righteous son, not necessarily willing to do your stepping stone ah, once the northern Liang civil unrest, the court can be completely no fear, Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang is a mortal enemy, the two secretly eye to eye for a long time, by the time Chen Zhibao not to say anything else, that is, just a single escaped, to the northern Liang, is not only a three-pointed breakup and disorganization of the army, Chen Zhibao can not be said to be the second Gu Jiantang ah! ”

Xu Feng Nian nodded his head and laughed: “Indeed, Gu Jiantang can’t fight Xu Snapdragon in his life, it doesn’t mean that Chen Zhi Bao, who has set up a new gateway, can’t fight this mediocre son of mine. It seems that Cao Guanzi’s strike is in the best long term interest of Northern Liang. Xu Snapdragon either has a high ranking person like Li Yishan guiding him, or it was purely a headless and irrational hand that was crookedly struck by him.”

Xu Lip Hu asked softly, “Feng Nian, are you planning to release them?”

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the twilight and muttered to himself, “Saying that I won’t release him is a bit of a dead duck’s mouth suspicion. Anyone can go against Cao Changqing without knowing what to do, the big deal is to lose a life, I don’t seem to be too good at it, after all, Xu Snapdragon is a big old man, can’t just give him a hard time. What’s more, with Cao Changqing personal relationship, surely over the bottom line of the capital, even if Xu Snapdragon not dare to say that all carry not. This trip is considered to be Cao Changqing really give snake hit seven inches, sure that I am not really ignorant to fearless son of His Highness, and cast to kill Chen Baiyi’s big bait, I guess is now in the heart of the sneaking pleasure it?”

Xu Lihu asked in a low voice: “Like that girl a lot?”

Xu Fengyen made a face and laughed heartlessly, “I can’t help but like it, I’ve been watching it for so many years, the more she grows, the better she looks, I can’t get tired of watching it, of course I like it.”

Xu Lihu sighed: “Just like it?”

Xu Fenian froze at once, this question that was not a question, seemed to have never thought deeply about it.

Xu Lipid Tiger touched her brother’s brow and asked with a smile, “Sister is curious who you would be afraid of?”

Xu Fengnian laughed, “Of course, I’m afraid that big sister you will be unhappy, and I’m afraid that second sister will be angry.”

Xu Lihu shook her head and said seriously, “Sister isn’t talking about this, it’s the kind of person you’re really afraid of and can’t sleep.”

Xu Feng Nian hesitated for a moment, slowly said, “Afraid of the one in the capital, afraid that he feels that even killing with a borrowed knife is too much of a hassle, finally tearing his face off to personally raise the knife to kill.”

Xu Lihu gave a hmmm, thought deeply. The capital if the general sense of the bright king is just, but things are not simple, diligent almost to the realm of the pathological, according to the theory that this deformity of the diligence of governance behavior only appeared in the founding emperors of those cloth origin, but that since the throne, governance of the world’s strength with a life savings savings to buy a few acres of fields in the general of the old farmer, is simply conscientious tireless, last year, the Ministry of Rites will have a Last year, the Ministry of Ceremony has an amazing record that can be seen in the leopard, seven days after the New Year’s Day, a total of three provinces and six departments received inside and outside of more than 1,500 pieces of zazhi, more than 3,600 things! In fact, the nine to five emperor of the imperial study almost night lights to three, so rumor has it that the big eunuch Han Diaoji had to risk his life several times to advise, pleading a little more rain in the harem. This once in the palace summoned Jiangnan relatives, made a poem, which will laugh that all officials have been sleeping I have not slept, all officials have not risen I have risen. Rumor has it that once this poem came out, no one in the court dares to question Chief Minister Zhang Julu’s rectification of officials. This is a very ambitious and diligent son of the emperor, which is not afraid of the powerful ministers? Loyal ministers are afraid of the emperor, but the powerful ministers are most afraid of the emperor. The so-called one day, one day, just than the cunning rabbit dead dog cooking said more glamorous lukewarm some just, but also broke all the mystery, there are a few old ministers do not accompany the old king to go underground to continue to “do their best”?

Xu Fengnian continued: “I’m afraid of Xu Snapdragon.”

Xu Lihu was surprised and joked: “Strange, anyone under the sky can be afraid of the King of Northern Liang, but you are afraid of our old man?”

Xu Fengnian muttered, “I’m afraid, I’m afraid Xu Snapdragon is getting old.”

Xu Lip Hu was silent.

Xu Fenian calmly said, “Then there is the fear that Chen Zhi Bao will rebel.”

Xu Lip Hu nodded, this answer made sense. Chen Zhi Bao has both generals and soldiers, in addition to seniority, it is really not inferior to the Northern Liang King Xu Snapdragon, or else he would not be able to get the two nicknames of Battle Immortal and Villainous Butcher. If it is on the means of the enemy vicious, more than Xu Snapdragon. Such a lord, to be a friend is undoubtedly fortunate, to be an enemy, is a great misfortune. In front of the west base wall, Jiang Bing Sheng witnessed his wife and son being dragged alive to death while blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, although it is not found in any official history, all the authorities after the fall of the Spring and Autumn have had palpitations in their hearts. The Shangyin Palace of Science had a military science of the ear of the people frankly said, to Chen Zhi Bao and the only remaining art of war everyone Gu Jiantang 100,000 troops each, the victory or defeat in the fifty-fifty, but to give three hundred thousand soldiers, but Chen Zhi Bao is a sure victory, of course, this is not to take into account outside the battlefield under the premise, but is sufficient to prove that Chen Zhi Bao’s horror. The court does not dare to over pressure Xu Snapdragon, there is no fear that Chen Zhi Bao will take advantage of the reason to raise the flag of the reason for rebellion, need to know that the capital of that one on the white war fairy but the God has long been.

Xu Fengyen suddenly smiled, narrowed his eyes and softly said, “The last thing is to be afraid of old Huang.”

Xu Lip Hu was completely confused and had a puzzled look on his face.

Xu Fengyen smiled and said, “When I traveled with him, I was scared all day long, I was afraid that he would die, without Lao Huang, how could I walk down 6,000 miles, 600 miles would be exhausting, starving and boring.”

Xu Fengyen looked at his elder sister Xu Lihu, said: “six thousand miles have survived, old Huang did not die I did not die, are not dead, but how did old Huang in the end to go to that bullshit Wudi City died?”

Xu Lihu naturally could not give an answer.

Xu Fengyen raised his head and said, “It’s good to die in Xishu, at least it’s your hometown.”

Xu Lipid Tiger cried.

Xu Fengyen was dumbfounded and helped wipe away the tears, “Sister, why are you crying, back in the day, when Old Huang fed you horses, you didn’t have a good face every time you saw this old guy with missing incisors.”

Xu Lihu glared.

Xu Fengnian finally said: “Jiang Nai ah, remember the first time we met or so small little girl, on the back of the national hatred, in fact, the national hatred of what, she does not understand, but the family hatred, to her to go with the Xu Snapdragon revenge, she so afraid of thunder and lightning, afraid of ghosts and monsters afraid of anything where the coward dared to, wide-eyed look for, but not counted on me as a unscrupulous, classless, but also colorful His Highness is the best! Who else can I turn to? If not me, then who? She in addition to the identity of the Princess of Peace, where there is what is surprising, heap a snowman will be cold hands, wash a clothes will be afraid of tired, see me in the Wudang Mountain on the scene of the practice of the knife is afraid of death after the practice of martial arts bitter, careful eyes of the niece, is not too stupid, I backed up, would dare to Sui Zhu Princess unforgiving, really think that we all are the princess of the same level of ah. Later, afraid of the soft heart, wrote a vow to kill the post, in the end was back in Beiliang’s second sister to severely pick up a pass, is not to hold a grudge to my head? Not only careful, but also petty, nothing to secretly count the copper plate, but said she was petty is not right, the talisman said to send out, in the end, she is a simple little woman, she thought that those who hide very well heart, I can see, plainly, I do not break it, I think it is quite funny. When I was a child, my mother had pulled the finger of the ginger mud with the girl’s cheeks and I said, the two dimples, is over the ghosts of the Yellow Springs Road to the Naiho Bridge, do not want to forget the past life of the person, not drink the old lady’s Mona Lisa soup, jumped into the water under the bridge to forget the water subjected to ten generations of water flooding fire scorching before reincarnation, just to be able to find a person who is attached, I was small, I was ignorant to think about ah, is not that I’m standing in front of her right now, just think about it! No matter what, this life can’t let this little face with two wine pits girl be bullied by outsiders.”

Xu Fengyen narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Now it seems that if she can regret, she must have resolved on the bridge of Naihe to meet with me in this life.”

Xu Lipid Tiger said helplessly, “You also believe in this argument?”

Xu Fengnian nodded, “What Mother said, I believe it all.”

Xu Lip Hu was just about to flirt, when he saw Jiang Nai squirming outside the pavilion, not daring to walk in, he got up and walked out of the pavilion, pushing her up the steps, Xu Lip Hu smiled and shook his head, then left straight away.

After Cao Guanzi stirred up the situation, the two people with a delicate atmosphere were speechless relative to each other.

Xu Fengyen took the lead and said in a bad mood: ”What are you doing, asking for a debt? This Shizi paid the silver so that we can part ways?”

Jiang Nai skimmed his head, stretched out a small hand and huffed, “Two hundred and twelve taels of silver seventy-two cents.”

Xu Fengyen sneered, “Fine, this Shizi all converted into a single copper coin, so that you can leave here with a marijuana bag on your back.”

Jiang Nai snorted coldly and turned around.

Walking out of the pavilion, she turned her head and saw him facing the lake, his back somewhat cold.

After a long time, Xu Fengnian spoke out, “You’re still not leaving? Cao Guanzi is even more powerful, if you push this Shizi, the big deal is that the jade and stone will burn together, who lives and who dies will depend on who is more bullish, him or Li Chun Gang.”

Jiang Nai said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, “Is it that if I leave, I can’t kill you?”

Xu Fengnian turned around and laughed, “Of course not, with Cao Guanzi and Old Sword God, two high ranking people to teach you, you might be able to kill me in a few years. Go away go away, save yourself from hanging around in front of this Shizi every day, without you, remember to notify before killing me, I can also sleep peacefully, I can sleep for a few years is a few years.”

Jiang Nai bit his lip and said, “Then I won’t leave!”

If the eight-dipper windfall Cao Guanzi heard this, would he not vomit blood?
