On the late autumn of the second year of Xiangfu, countless legends of gods and monsters were destined to evolve. The sun and moon rose in the imperial prison, the sound of the Buddhist dynasty was scattered, and the rainbows hung in the sky several times, and the immortals hung in the air. The situation was also terrifying. The two land gods and immortals were as fast as dragons entering the sea. During the fight between the two sides, the entire camp was torn apart and broken, and wherever they passed, they were as powerful as broken. Especially, the new Minister of War General Wu Chongxuan, the direct troops suffered the most, with more than a thousand casualties. The so-called discomfort in the land and land was nothing more than physical discomfort. It was rare for ordinary people to be so unwell that they lost their arms and legs, even their lives were lost. The key is that almost no one recognized the true identities of the two figures, which made the Southern Army of Jingji feel cowardly the most.

When the culprit Xu Fengnian walked down the altar of the country, the Li family soldiers, led by Li Shouguo and Li Changliang, swore to guard the gate to the death, and made a decisive gesture of crossing the bodies of more than a thousand people to go out. However, more than half of the heavy cavalry lost on the street outside the gate had already quietly withdrawn from the street after General Anton Ma Zhongxian almost frantically passed a secret order. However, in order not to disturb the people of the inner and outer cities and the outside cities and the greater panic, the cavalry, which had not yet been put on the battlefield of the two Liaos, did not immediately leave the city to go to the garrison. Ma Zhongxian hurriedly left the sickbed of the father in the mansion of General Zhengbei, and did not even have time to put on the robes of the military ministers, let alone wear iron armor. The great General Anton turned his head and looked at the remnants shrouded in the tragic atmosphere, his heart was bleeding.

Especially Ma Zhongxian, who is extremely familiar with the officialdom in the capital, knew that when the bad news at home came out of the mansion and the temple and the market, the courts and the people in Tai'an City would soon say that his father would die sooner or later. It was just as the King of Beiliang was making a big fuss about the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Prison that he was scared to death, and that the young man named Xu would be scared to death!

Ma Zhongxian, who seemed inappropriate in a large area of ​​iron armor, clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he wanted to turn his horse's head and chop the person named Xu into meat paste!

An old man in a commoner walked through the "weak" infantry formation of the Li family soldiers. Li Shouguo wanted to give a message to remind him. The old man smiled and waved his hand, and walked straight to the King of Beiliang who was stopping on the edge of the altar of the country. The old man did not stand in front of the young man. The two of them stood side by side, but one faced north and one faced south.

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "I originally thought it was Tantanweng, the Menxia Province, who came here to be a lobbyist, but I didn't expect it was Lord Zhongshu Ling who came here to sing a sarcastic face."

Qi Yanglong, the head of the Secretariat, looked up at the high altar and smiled and said, "The Imperial Heaven Supervision is ruined like this, what a pity."

Xu Fengnian said: "More than 100,000 people died outside the pass, and everyone died in front of the north. It's not a pity?"

Qi Yanglong nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity in my opinion. The Imperial Heaven Supervision has been destroyed. As a scholar who likes to read history, I feel a pity. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Liang Dynasty died in battle. As a citizen of Liyang, I feel a pity and respectable. But now I have come to the capital to ask the court for a robe to put on it, so I have to come here to chat with the prince."

Xu Fengnian held the knife and his left hand was pierced by the long rope, and his arms drooped. Blood continued to flow out of the sleeve tube and dripped on the ground along his fingers. The face was pale and bloodless in an instant, and turned purple and gold in an instant. As for the cracks at the center of his eyebrows, the blood slid down the bridge of his nose, adding a bit of a strong sense of hostility to the handsome face of the young vassal king.

This young man who shocked the entire capital twice said expressionlessly: "Three thousand people, every time they die, they will deduct one thousand stones of grain and grain transport in Beiliang. Zhao Zhuan said it personally. Then I might as well tell the Lord Zhongshu Ling directly that if you dare to transport the grain and one stone less, 30,000 cavalry of Beiliang will go south to Guangling! Anyway, the Jingnan of the vassal king is a natural matter. Your court does not care about the life or death of the people of Beiliang. I, Xu Fengnian, are very happy to speak, and I don't mind letting you Li Yang understand what 'loyalty' means!"

After hearing these sharp words, Qi Yanglong did not pretend to be angry and said with a smile: "King Beiliang, to be honest, I, Qi Yanglong, no matter where I am from, I have always regarded myself as the Shangyin Academy in Guangling Road as my home. Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun have been tossing on my land. Song Li's bastard and Kou Jianghuai have tossed again. Next, it will be Wu Chongxuan and Lu Shengxiang's turn to scramble. It would be fine if they can fight quickly. No matter who loses and who wins, as long as they decide the winner, it will be a good thing for the people of Guangling Road. I am afraid that they will be so stalemate. It's okay if they fight all the young and strong and old soldiers. If they fight all the soldiers, wouldn't it just take the lives of the people to fill the pit? Is this true, King Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian remained silent.

Qi Yanglong is not like a central official, but like an old man with a grumbling and unpleasant voice. After finally catching a young young man who can express his feelings, he can't stop talking. "Cao Changqing has a knot in his heart. If he can't get over his own threshold, Yan Shenggong can't persuade him. Of course, I am not willing to waste my saliva. As for those who help the court lead troops to fight, I, the Secretary of the Central Committee, cannot speak, and the warriors in the world are on the battlefield.

Their principles are their principles, whether they are engraved with horses and corpses, whether they are appointed as marquis and generals, and they are just pursuing their destiny. I, Qi Yanglong, cannot go to them to talk to them and talk to them about empty words and big words that ask them to put down their butcher's knife. If they take a step back, they will convince Lu Shengxiang Wu Chongxuan, and there will definitely be Ma Shengxiang Song Chongxuan coming out. After all, I can't stop the general trend of the world."

Qi Yanglong suddenly turned his head and stared at the young man with bloody face at close range, "But I think it works to tell you. There is no way. You are Xu Xiao's son. Xu Xiao has always been very reasonable. Otherwise, in order to let the little girl Weixiong enter the school, she could use gold and silver to smash a lake embankment for my family? Before I entered Beijing, I would have to walk on it every morning and evening, regardless of rain or rain! I wonder if Xu Xiao had told you that when he led his troops to the world, he passed by Shangyin Academy from Longhu Mountain. He had a private visit on the cover of me.

This old guy blocked the room and took off the scalpel... Well, if you read it correctly, it was probably the one you were hanging now, and slapped it hard on my desktop, asking me if the name "Xu Fengnian" was obtained. Of course, I gave me a thumbs up and said, "It's really good." Then your father immediately became kind and said, "Qi Yanglong is indeed a scholar with great knowledge, and turned his head to ask your mother about the four words "full of strategy" for me. I was very happy. Of course, it was not this lack of standard flattery, but in the end your father didn't cut me with a knife."

Xu Fengnian raised his right hand and wiped his face.

Qi Yanglong continued to look at the far-reaching altar of the country, "You must never think of the lake embankment. How much silver is sent by Beiliang? No matter how long a long dike is, the manpower and material resources of the Shangyin Academy, which is lush with literary forests, are there, how many silver is needed? But how much has your father sent in secret? Do you know, it is a total of three million taels of silver! So Shangyin Academy not only has a lake embankment with willows, but also in the next five years, it has secretly added a library that is the largest in Jiangnan, and no less than two hundred sets of books in the public. In addition to the silver that can be piled up into mountains, there is actually a light and secret letter handed to me. Those words are the ugliest I have ever seen, but for more than ten years, I often take it out and look at it when I do nothing. The letter said,

The eldest son must be a good material for studying. If you want to study in Yinxu Palace in the future, you may have to get a top scholar for his Xu family in the future. That would be a glorious family. If the son of a vassal king cannot be an official position, then it would be a good place to pass the exam. I would like to reply to him, you are a warrior who has killed countless seeds of study, and you are full and want to make your son a literati? Your Xu family is the most powerful minister in your generation, and the Dazhu Kingdom and the Hereditary Incarnation are in your hands. I really lack a top scholar? I would like to ask him, what is three million taels of silver? So many people in the eight countries have died, how many scholars have died? Can this little silver compensate for the broken mountains and rivers and the sinking of the Central Plains?! You are a slaughtered person and don’t want your son to be a vassal king, what’s the matter?!"

"Later, I read that letter again, and over time, the letter paper became more and more wrinkled, and my heart became calmer and calmer."

"During this period, after the death of the old emperor, you dared to sing and dance in Qingliang Mountain. The whole city could see fireworks, but you could hear music playing all over the mountains. Later, you threw out the gate of the royal palace, and you had only three years of travel. At that time, I knew that Beiliang would not be peaceful. I once hoped that you could squeeze out Chen Zhibao and succeed in the succession of the Queen of Beiliang, but you were willing to be a Taiping vassal king and willing to let a general from Liyang enter Beiliang. Then Beiliang is Beiliang in Liyang, and the people of Beiliang are the people of Liyang. Half of the country's taxes enter the two Liaos, and half of the country's grain transport enters Beiliang, and the world is determined!"

When Xu Fengnian heard this, she pulled the corner of her mouth.

The old man laughed at himself, "This is of course the wishful thinking of a pedantic scholar."

The old man finally turned around and faced the soldiers of the Li family who were densely arranged with Xu Fengnian. He asked with a smile: "How about these elite Liyang soldiers compared to your Beiliang border cavalry?"

Xu Fengnian asked back: "I really want to know the answer?"

The old man waits for the following.

Xu Fengnian gave the answer, "Ten people vs. ten people, win or lose five, hundred people vs. hundred people, I, Beiliang, win, thousands of people vs. thousands of people, you will lose miserably, tens of people vs. tens of people, so there is no need to fight, right?"

The old man smiled and said, "Take it serious?"

Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "I just read more than Xu Xiao and have a better temper."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, yes, so today I went to the Ministry of Rites to teach the two ministers a lesson, and then came here alone, not even giving the queen mother's face. I started killing inside and outside the Imperial Heaven Prison. All the immortals in the heaven killed a large group of people. The prince had a very good temper."

Xu Fengnian said angrily: "Just got into a relationship, I started to rely on my seniority again. Do you really think I don't have the energy to return to Xiamawei?"

The old man laughed, "Okay, it's almost the same to move Xu Xiao out and you'll get close to the prince. If you continue to say more, I can't even hold on to my old face. You Xu Fengnian can fight, and the Iron Cavalry of Beiliang can fight, so I won't hide it and make it mysterious. I will reveal my old foundation to you. Whether it's the threat of one person losing one thousand stones or the heroic fortune of the three million stones of canal transportation, it's all the acts of the young emperor. I, the Secretary of the Central Committee, dare not take it seriously, and I hope the prince should not take it seriously. But I dare to guarantee that from the end of autumn this year to the end of next summer, Liyang, especially Tai'an City, will even tie the belt tightly to Beiliang. If possible, you can have another 500,000 stones. After this, there are only four words, do your best!"

Xu Fengnian frowned.

The old man sighed: "Stop when you see it is good. Both sides have steps. In the temple, from officials as big as sesame and green beans, to ministers of Huang Zi, to those wearing python robes or even dragon robes, there is never a happy person."

Before Xu Fengnian could speak, the old man sighed and said, "I don't know if it's an illusion. Although there are more and more young faces in the court, I always feel like I'm in it. Maybe... Maybe after the white-clothed monk Li Dangxin's almanac was rejected, Zhang Julu also felt sad like me."

The old man turned his head and looked at the seriously injured young man, "In the collection of poems that may never be circulated in Biyan'er, he said that there are two great things in life, one hate, and there is chivalrous spirit in the world in the world, which is a pleasure! On the battlefield, it is a great pleasure to hold a knife to death! Every time I read in books that the historian likes to write about "bones and life are devastated", it is a great hatred!"

The old man smiled, "It's a pity that this blue-eyed man died early. I don't know how many times he looked at the Liyang Dynasty geometric map, where he carved the names of tens of thousands of dead people on stone tablets. The history that generations of scholars read are no longer only the names of successes, kings and defeats."

"A guy said he had seen you and showed off in front of me. In fact, if I hadn't been against the Lord's order this time, I wouldn't have come to be angry. What's so good about you, Xu Fengnian? I'm a bad old man, not those young ladies who miss the young heroes."

"Hey, I was younger, maybe even more handsome than you."

Xu Fengnian said, "Then let's just say that."

The old man asked with great difficulty: "So when will the prince leave Beijing?"

Xu Fengnian walked forward, "The day after tomorrow."

The old man looked at the back and asked with a smile: "No today, will it work tomorrow? There is nothing to watch in Tai'an City."

Xu Fengnian stopped, turned his head and smiled and said, "Tomorrow? Okay, Lord Zhongshu Ling wants to see the stone tablet? Then the king will take you with him in person."

The old man smiled and stiff, "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow! Early in the morning, I will go down to Mawei Inn and knock on the door!"

Xu Fengnian ignored this scoundrel old man and walked towards the gate of the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

The old man behind him raised his hands and waved it to both sides. The soldiers of the Li family quickly spread left and right, leaving a spacious road.

Suddenly, the old man quickly followed Xu Fengnian with a few steps, grabbed Xu Fengnian's right hand, and refused to let go.

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the old man with a sudden solemn expression.

The old man lowered his voice and said, "Xu Fengnian, I must make this world less dead!"

Xu Fengnian wanted to turn around and leave.

The old man had no idea where he got his strength, so he clenched Xu Fengnian's hand tightly and turned red.

Xu Fengnian could have broken free with a slight wave of her sleeve, but for some reason, Xu Feng sighed lightly, nodded, and said helplessly: "Do you need to say it?"

The old man then let go of his hand in disappointment.

After walking out a few steps, Xu Fengnian heard the old man whisper: "If you don't do this, you won't show your attitude of saving the people."

Xu Fengnian twitched, raised her right arm, stretched out her thumb, and then pointed downward.

Looking at the young man's back.

The old man said again: "Well, I have a bit of style when I was young."

Perhaps it was because he felt that he was far away, and the young vassal king could not hear his muttering, so when the King of Beiliang suddenly turned his head, the old man turned his back with lightning speed, carried his hands and quickly walked to the altar of the sovereign, as if he was in a hurry to go there to browse the scenery.

One old and one young, walking with your back.

The old man calmed down his expression on his face and silently recited in his heart: "Biyan'er, if you are alive, should you grit your teeth and not open the ban on the one-stone canal transportation, or should you try to disagree with all your opinions? No matter what, I am not as good as you."

The old man stood at the top of the altar of the country and saw the dazzling loose soil, he slowly squatted down.

Xu Xiao, Zhang Julu.

You two fought for half your life, but after you died, you will actually drink together, right?

———

At the gate of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau, there was a Hehe girl holding the scallion pancake in one hand and biting it with the other.

Xu Fengnian walked over and bent down, helping her with the sable hat.

Then he came in a big red dress like a butterfly and came to Xu Fengnian, spinning ethereally.

After Xu Fengnian stopped, she nodded and laughed softly: "It's still good."

Xu Fengnian held one person in one hand, "Go back to the inn first, and go home the day after tomorrow."

Xu Yanbing had returned to the carriage at the gate of the Imperial Heaven Supervision at some point and had already put the instant gun on it.

Xu Fengnian wiped the blood that had just oozed out of the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and smiled and said, "I'll go back so soon? This gun is so fast."

Xu Yanbing, who was confused for a moment, nodded. When the young vassal king sat in the carriage, the carriage drove for a long distance. Finally, Xu Yanbing, who had finally come back to his senses, laughed and scolded: "Damn it, you don't even have any dirty words to curse!"

After laughing, Xu Yanbing looked into the distance and was a little dazed.

The girl wearing a sable hat and the woman wearing a red robe in a hood did not sit in the carriage for some reason.

Inside the carriage.

The young man, covered in blood, took off the scabbard, picked up the robe of the vassal king in both hands, and buried his head in it.

The shoulders were trembling.

No expression.
