Chapter 692: The Killer from the South
Upon hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Chen Zhibao, whose momentum froze, couldn't help but frown and asked: "Your Majesty, who is this person?"
"My name is Xia Hou! Boy, you have quite a murderous spirit, but if you want to kill me, you still lack some skills!" Xia Hou grinned at Chen Zhibao.
Chen Zhibao, who was noncommittal, turned to Xu Fengnian and said: "This person, as well as the people in your hospital who healed Chu Lushan, are not simple people. You must be careful when you bring them back."
After saying that, Chen Zhibao, who didn't wait for Xu Fengnian's response, turned around and left. Xia Hou, who watched him leave, couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, there are indeed several characters in your Beiliang army. What is this white-robed war god?
Chen Zhibao, right? It’s a bit interesting!”
"Senior Xiahou, could it be that you were also a general before?" Xu Fengnian suddenly asked curiously, and Xiahou simply nodded and said: "That's right! I didn't expect that you still have some eyesight. But that was all a long time ago.
.To me, it already seems a bit far away.”
Seeing the complicated look on Xiahou's face as he spoke, Xu Fengnian felt more and more that Xiahou's origin was not simple. And such a character would actually follow Zhouyou. Could it be that Zhouyou is a prince who has perished? So most likely, he might still be with him.
Xu Xiao hates the subjugation of his country. But if this is the case, why should he be rescued and follow him to the Beiliang Palace? Is there some bigger plot?
I have to say that Xu Fengnian's thoughts are very divergent at the moment. If Zhou You knew what he was thinking at this time, it can only be said that he has too much drama.
Just when Xu Fengnian was thinking, Xu Xiao, who was slightly lame, walked along the corridor. When he saw Xia Hou, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there is someone who looks so similar to me in this world.
And he’s also a master.”
"Are you Xu Xiao?" Xia Hou looked at Xu Xiao in surprise. On Xu Xiao's body, he felt the familiar aura of killing that had been fought on the battlefield for a long time, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.
When he met Xiahou, Xu Xiao was sure that he had never fought against him before. He couldn't help but become more and more curious about him, so he smiled and said proactively: "Brother Xiahou, how about we talk alone?"
"Dad..." Xu Fengnian deliberately wanted to remind Xu Xiao of his guessed identity as Xiahou, but before he could finish speaking, Xu Xiao already said: "Okay, it's okay, go ahead and do your business!"
After saying that, Xu Xiao was so warm and polite that Xia Hou came over and pulled him away together without letting Xia Hou refuse. Seeing that one of them was older and the other younger, they looked almost exactly the same, and those who didn't know better thought they were brothers!
"Don't they know each other? Yes, this Xiahou doesn't seem to be older than my father. Is it true that there are no festivals between them?" Xu Fengnian watched the two people leave, and couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. At this moment,
Zhou You also came to his side: "Your father took Xiahou away?"
"Zhou You, you... who are you and Xiahou? What is your purpose in coming to Lingzhou City?" Xu Fengnian asked the question without answering.
Seeing the serious look on his face, Zhou You smiled casually and said: "Who is it? This is a bit complicated to say, but you may understand it later. As for the purpose of our coming to Lingzhou City, in short, we are not here to kill you.
.Otherwise, no matter how much life you have, you won’t be able to lose it!”
"That's true," Xu Fengnian nodded slightly, and then asked tentatively: "Then, do you know who wants to kill me?"
"I can probably guess some of it," Zhou You said noncommittally: "However, if I told you everything, it would be meaningless. But I can remind you that someone will come to kill you soon."
"I've already guessed this," Xu Fengnian curled her lips slightly and then said: "Then can you tell me in advance so that I can be mentally prepared? Who is coming to kill me this time?
Human? Are you a master?"
"Do you think a real master can easily enter the Northern Liang Palace?" Zhou You asked, while Xu Fengnian nodded: "Yes! You and Xiahou, aren't you both masters? Moreover, you are still very strong.
.”
Hearing this, Zhou Youyou was suffocated, then rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, the person who is going to kill you this time doesn't know martial arts, but he does know how to swim."
"Know water? Not many people in Beiliang know water. Could it be that this person is from the south?" Xu Fengnian immediately started to speculate upon hearing this.
"If you like guessing riddles so much, keep guessing," Zhou You shrugged noncommittally, turned and left, causing Xu Fengnian to frown helplessly and mutter: "You don't know martial arts, what on earth are people from the south...
A killer sent by someone?"
Two days later, on the streets of Lingzhou, someone climbed on top of a carriage and cursed Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian and his son as if giving a speech in the street.
Zhou You took Nangong Pushe, who was engrossed in reading in Tingchao Pavilion, to go shopping together. He mingled with the crowd and joined in the fun as if he were watching a play. Hearing Lin Tan Huakang's passionate scoldings, he did not forget to put a hand in his hand.
He handed the bag of street snacks to Nangong Pushe next to him: "Would you like some?"
"You pulled me out just to watch people curse?" Nangong Pushe couldn't help but ask, while Zhou You smiled noncommittally: "There are many interesting things in the world, don't just focus on practicing. Even if it's sword skills,
You also have emotions, otherwise no matter how well you practice, you will still be dead."
When Nangong Pushe heard this and frowned thoughtfully, Xu Fengnian suddenly squeezed out of the crowd with Lao Huang and Jiang Ni. When he saw Zhou You and Nangong Pushe, he couldn't help but hurriedly came over: "Hey, you guys too
Are you here?"
"Why are you here too?" Zhou You glanced at Xu Fengnian and said, and Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "I heard that someone scolded me in the street, and they scolded me for two hours without saying anything serious. What a great literary talent! So, let's come too.
Join in the fun."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's quite cheap to come here just to listen to people scolding me," Zhou You said, somewhat speechless, and then said: "However, this Lin Tanhua is also innocent.
That's right, I haven't seen such a pure person in a long time. In fact, such a person is not suitable for studying and becoming an official. He is only suitable for learning or practicing martial arts. He will definitely be able to focus on nothing else or achieve some achievements."
"Isn't it? Do you want to accept him as your disciple?" Xu Fengnian looked at Zhou You in astonishment and speechlessness, with a look that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why, you look down on others? Don't forget, you are just a prince who doesn't know how to fight. In terms of reading, maybe you are not as good as him!" Zhou You's words immediately choked Xu Fengnian.
At this moment, a blind old man suddenly lay down next to the carriage and said as if his legs were crushed, his hands were broken, and his eyes were hurting. The commotion immediately diverted the onlookers.
With so much attention, everyone regarded Lin Tanhua's scolding as a farce.
However, Xu Fengnian recognized the blind old man, Old Xu Tou, and knew that he was a veteran of the Yugu Camp of the Northern Liang Army. He quickly stepped forward to persuade him and helped him up.
After Xu Fengnian and the others left with Old Xu Tou, the crowd dispersed, and Lin Tanhua also took a carriage to the Beiliang Prince's Mansion. Zhou You couldn't help but said: "Miss Nangong, what kind of person do you think this Xu Xiao is?
"
"A person who can make people hate him and also make people speak for him is undoubtedly a great person," Nangong Pushe said.
Amazing? Hearing this, Zhou You raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, it is indeed amazing to be a person who can make people love and hate him at the same time, but is helpless. However, in this world, it is rare for a person to be so pure and simple."
"You mean that Lin Tanhua? He's just a simple-minded scholar, nothing more than a chess piece in the hands of others," Nangong Pushe shook his head and said, "We've finished watching the fun, let's go back!"
