Chapter 265: The Journey of Chivalry (Part II)


Xu Fengnian and Xu Yanbing quietly left the team very early, and under the guidance of a big spy from the water house, they came to the dirt slope seven or eight miles northwest of the new city. , During the period, there is occasionally a team or a standard crossbowman whistling in the distance, the scout team than before, there are one or two more horsemen wearing light armor but not wearing a cool knife to live up to the light crossbow, these people are the Liangzhou border army and the water room layer by layer screening out of the rivers and lakes, according to the Huaiyang Pass Duhufu military confidential files, there are currently more than 200 Central Plains Jianghu masters have been secretly absorbed into the border army scouts, which is often a battle to die in the narrow road of the border crossbowmen, is undoubtedly a kind of timely rain supplement, After all, in the first Liang Reckless battle, the battle damage of the Northern Liang Scouts was a huge number.

When Xu Fengnian saw the figure of one person and two horses at the top of the slope, he didn't let Xu Yanbing follow him, he turned over and dismounted alone, and led the horse.

The burly figure sitting on the hillside still showing a majestic spirit did not get up to greet the arrival of the young vassal king, but just raised his head and squinted at this young man who was now regarded by Beimang as the big devil of the sky.

Xu Fengnian let go of the reins and patted the back of the war horse gently, the A-shaped horse from the pasture of Beiliang Xianli, and stepped on the horse's hooves to find the horse grass alone.

Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "What did the seniors do when they went back to Beiliang this time?"

The old man who was called a senior was dressed in a heavy mink fur, and when he got up, there was a loud noise, revealing two thick iron chains, and there were two amazing handleless horse chopping knives hanging from his waist, the old man stretched out his futon-sized palm and patted his buttocks, and suddenly the dust scattered, and he grinned: "Xu boy, I heard that after you ran back from Beimang, your martial arts cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and even Wang Xianzhi has slaughtered you after Tuoba Bodhisattva, Deng Tai'a, Cao Changqing, and the other three great masters of martial arts, you kid has also been in the limelight for a while, Grandpa, I'm not convinced, I made a special trip from Beimang Hexi Prefecture to talk to you, what's the matter?"

Xu Fengnian looked around, and then suddenly ran to the tall old man very flatteringly, helped rub his shoulders and said: "Senior Chu, Old Immortal Chu, Master Chu has traveled all the way, are you tired, do you want to drink wine and eat meat?"

Probably reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the old guy surnamed Chu calmly accepted the dignified Beiliang King's whiskers and horses, without the domineering posture of smashing the field before, and looked at this guy who could be regarded as a guy who he watched grow up little by little, "It seems that in Tai'an City, it is really not light, otherwise you kid's stinky fart virtue, you would have turned your face and didn't recognize people, not to mention that you have fought with grandpa and me for hundreds of rounds." ” Xu Fengnian said angrily: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, senior, don't be embarrassed, if I accidentally beat your old man down, and then you don't run back to Beimang without looking back, delaying the big thing that Helian Wuwei explained, who will I cry to." ” The old man blew his beard and stared, and he was about to fight with both hands on the knife, but it was a pity that this young man looked like a dead face and let him be beaten and scolded, the white-haired old man sighed, shook his shoulders, and refused the young man's insincere kneading, "Ghost goblin, that's right, it was Helian Wuwei who begged me to come to Beiliang, two things, one good news and one bad news, which one to listen to first" Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Listen to the bad news first, and eat sugarcane to be sweet." ” The old man who had been trapped at the bottom of the Chaohu Lake for many years said in a deep voice: "Helian Lao'er and I are both Keqing of the big idea of the tomb of Princess Beimang, I didn't hide it from you last time, but after so many years, what princess tomb is not princess grave, my mind has long been light, even Luoyang went to Zhulu Mountain, it is said that the little thought of half makeup also gave Huyan Daguan a palm to death, so this time I am good, Helian Wuwei is also here, they are all here to pay off the debt, this time, the old account is cleared, and the road will go to the sky in the future."

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, okay, hurry up and get down to business, this king is now in charge of everything, and what he worries about is the general trend of the world."

As a result, Xu Fengnian was slapped by the old guy, and he didn't fight back, as if he didn't have this idea at all, he just helped his head, but he didn't help out much of the abundance of the jade tree in the wind, but touched a lot of fine gravel, in the northwest desert, riding a horse to meet the yellow sand, it was probably such a bleak situation.

After the old man smiled and scolded, he restrained his smile and said in a solemn tone with a rare solemn look: "This bad news is really not small.

I've heard of the Beimang Qingluan County Lord, her external identity is the Fan Bainu who immediately drummed first, when you were still His Royal Highness the Prince of Beiliang, this girl has been with Chen Zhi for a long time, in fact, to be precise, she should be called Yelu Bainu, she is a member of the Beimang royal family, and the old woman surnamed Murong has a grudge against her father, and she can only endure humiliation and steal her life before, but now it is different, after such a big defeat, the old woman has reused the two henchmen, Taiping Ling and Dong Zhuo are now in the North Court and the Southern Dynasty respectively, and life is not comfortable. ” Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "This is a reasonable thing, at that time, whether to fight Beiliang or Liangliao first, I was originally thinking of picking up soft persimmons to fight Gu Jiantang, otherwise the old woman would not have let Tuoba Bodhisattva lead hundreds of thousands of elite cavalry troops to patrol various places on the Beiting grassland before the Liang Mang War.

If Beiliang is successfully defeated this time, it is better to say, the horse stepping on the Central Plains is just around the corner, even if the flesh hurts, after all, it can be endured, but since it has not even entered the Beiliang Pass, it is two different things.

No one is happy to get anything from the dead, especially the northern barbarians who have been accustomed to plundering the border for hundreds of years. ” The old man glanced at the young man who was light and breezy, and stopped talking, pouting, the old man gave up the digression that had already reached his lips, but continued the previous topic, and said: "The ambitious Yelu East bed returned to Beimang, this kid couldn't set off the wind and waves, but he couldn't beat him to have a good grandfather, Yelu Hongcai, who took care of his life in the three dynasties of Beimang, this old immortal can really be called an old immortal, when the Holy Sect Yelu Manjushri burped, Yelu Hongcai, as one of the six people in front of the emperor's bed, was only ranked last, It's not a big deal, when Shenzong died, there were five people at that time, and he was ranked third, when Emperor Beimang tossed the old woman to death, Beimang had five more people as important ministers, Xu Xiaozi, do you know who they are?"

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "General Yelu Shulie, Xu Huainan, a remnant of the Central Plains, Tuoba Bodhisattva, and Murong Baoding."

Obviously, Yelu Shulie was a lot older at that time, and he barely had a seat as the leader of the older generation in the Beimang army, and Xu Huainan and Tuoba Bodhisattva, both of whom were hand-picked up by the old woman, not to mention Murong Baoding, just by looking at the surname, then Yelu Hongcai, the only cronie of the old emperor of Beimang, needed to shelter the entire Yelu surname with his own strength.

It's just that in the past ten years, except for the old man who quarreled with Dong Zhuo when he was painting ashes, almost came out of the North Court without a sound. ” The old man sighed and said: "Helian Wuwei told me privately that this time the Beimang surnamed Yelu finally got together, and let that Qingluan County Lord quietly enter the Liyang Central Plains, and he must have drawn a big cake for Chen Zhibao, a big cake."

Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "Chen Zhibao will agree" The old man sneered: "I don't know the crooked intestines of these temples and battlefields, but the old man Helian said that in the Guangling Dao war, Liyang has an attitude of not reusing Chen Zhibao, the king of Shu, and is obviously suspicious, defeating Western Chu, and discussing the merits afterwards, most of them are Wu Chongxuan and Lu Shengxiang fighting for the first, followed by Song Li, a group of young generals to share the military merits, Chen Zhibao died in front of Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, and Zhao Bing, the king of Yan, and it is impossible to say that even Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, cannot be compared.

Do you think Chen Zhibao is such a high-minded and arrogant person, even the first emperor of Liyang, Zhao Dan, is regarded as a white-clothed soldier saint, there will be no resentment in his heart Anyway, even I, a layman, think that Chen Zhibao will be aggrieved, the reckless war has nothing to do with him, and there is no war between the two Liao, and he finally got out of Xishu, but he can only eat some leftovers in Guangling Road, isn't the so-called title of soldier saint a joke?"

Xu Fengnian said to himself: "If Xie Guan didn't have that fiasco in the capital, this assumption would not be valid.

But now Fan Bainu, Yelu Bainu, Yelu East Bed, Yelu Hongcai promised Chen Zhibao to be Xu Xiao of the Beimang New Dynasty, are they all seeking skin with the tiger, will Chen Zhibao agree to Beimang because he thinks that one day he will have the opportunity to rule the north and the south, and do what Xu Xiao did not do back then?"

The old man didn't disturb Xu Fengnian's stunned.

Xu Fengnian suddenly turned his head and asked: "What about Gu Jiantang, I don't think this Dazhu Congress is being co-opted by Beimang, even if Wang Sui leads the eastern front, the victory or defeat of the two sides is only between five and five, and Beimang has not thought about how to deal with this difficult last famous general of the Spring and Autumn Period."

The old man smiled and said: "You guys, you are worthy of the old fox and the little fox, this, Helian Wuwei expected, the old guy smiled and said let your kid guess, because it seems that he only vaguely got some inside information, and it is not easy to make conclusions." ” Xu Fengnian squatted down, stretched out his hand and subconsciously grabbed a handful of hot yellow sand, and thought for a long time, "Although Zhao Wu, the king of Liao, is an existence that helps the unfortunate and drags his feet, but the two Liaos are still an iron bucket country, so the breakthrough can only move westward, this one-word side by side king dared to come to our army alone and ride alone, and chatted with me, which is by no means comparable to Zhao Wu.

Next, Yuan Tingshan, Yang Huchen, Han Fang, the three military generals in power in Jizhou, Yuan Tingshan, have his father-in-law Gu Jiantang and Li Jiayanbao as backers, which are both dependent and restrained.

Yang Huchen went to Jizhou to make meritorious contributions, and there was no need to act as an internal response for Beimang to go south.

Han Fang, to tell the truth, he is a chess piece laid by me in my early years, not to mention being loyal to Liyang, the most unfortunate will not betray Liyang for the sake of Beimang, the loyal Han family has fought with the northern nomads for three or four hundred years, just the surname Han, hundreds of people have died, anyone can take refuge in Beimang, Han Fang will not. ” The old man stood beside Xu Fengnian, looking into the distance, his eyes full of yellow sand and desolation, "The bad news has been said, let's talk about good news, but I don't know if this is good news." ” Xu Fengnian, who was squatting in the lee, spread out his palms, the wind blew the sand and drifted away, and said softly: "Senior, you said." ” The old man said in an accentuated tone: "Xu Fengnian, you should know that Helian Wuwei is in Beimang, and he is one of those festival orders that firmly support the old woman, this time my surname Chu was able to cross the border of the Southern Dynasty covered with cobwebs and crow columns, and came to your Beiliang smoothly and silently, of course, it is not how big my Chu Crazy Nu is, but Helian Wuwei and the old woman had an extremely hidden secret conversation, except for the Taiping Order, there is no fourth person present, the old woman told Helian Wuwei that the surname of Beimang Yelu dared to go out and cooperate with Chen Zhibao, Then she also has the courage to form an alliance with you, Xu Fengnian, and her contribution will only be more As long as you agree to betray Liyang, even if you can't take a single soldier from Beiliang, she will help you onto a seat that you can't imagine."

Xu Fengnian shook his head and smiled: "This old lady is crazy. ” The old man sighed with emotion: "The people who are about to die are almost the same. ” Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, "This is good news." ” The old man sighed, "It's wrong, it's a big mistake, the last sentence that Helian Wuwei wants me to give you is that if you finally reject the kindness of the Empress Beimang, then Beimang's next southern expedition will not hesitate to break the net."

Xu Fengnian said indifferently: "Don't say whether I agree or not, in the twenty years outside Beiliang Pass, so many people have been killed in battle, and the answer has already been given." ” The old man smiled, "Promise or not, it's your Xu Fengnian's business, I will pass the word, from now on, Liang Mang will die or live, and I have nothing to do with half a copper coin." ” Xu Fengnian slowly stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will always remember the words of my predecessors for so many years in a fight, no matter whether I can fight or not, I will talk about it after the fight."

The old man said seriously: "If you don't fight, you won't fight, your predecessors will have the demeanor of your predecessors, not to mention that your kid is injured, even if you win you, you will be suspected of taking advantage of others' danger." ” Xu Fengnian smiled but said nothing.

The old man's face turned red, and he glared and said, "Don't take an inch, stinky boy."

Xu Fengnian laughed.

The old man stretched out his palm and patted the young vassal king's shoulder, with a somewhat melancholy expression, "From the first time you kid almost drowned at the bottom of Tingchao Lake and was rescued by me, to the time you ran down to dive and hold your breath later, or you would bring me something to eat, really speaking, I watched you change from a child to the current King of Beiliang."

Xu Fengnian was a little embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "When I was in a bad mood in my early years, I often carried things to the bottom of the lake to tease my seniors, and I hoped that my seniors would not take it to heart. ” The old man's head was suddenly full of black lines.

Xu Fengnian shut up and no longer sprinkled salt on the old man's wound.

The old man smiled heartily: "On the way to this time, I heard that now from Yangjiang Lake, I don't mention much about your high-ranking martial arts fourteen people, it's too high to climb, to be honest, grandpa and I also have self-knowledge, I have beaten you monsters, but those Daxueping evaluated the top ten masters of the Quartet Saints, as well as the auspicious talisman fourteen kui made by copying the Spring and Autumn Thirteen Jia, I really want to go for a while."

Xu Fengnian snorted and reminded: "Although many of them are masters and grandmasters who sell their reputations, but there are some masters on the list of seniors, it is better not to provoke, such as the Sui Xiegu Yu Groom in our Beiliang territory, as well as Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Chai Qingshan, the sword pool of Dongyue, and Wei Miao, the first person in Nanzhao, Mao Shulang, the sword master of Southern Xinjiang, and Cheng Baishuang of the Dragon Palace."

The more the old man listened, the more ugly his face became, and he said angrily: "Rabbit cub, you just say directly, who is the grandfather, I can beat it."

Xu Fengnian rubbed his chin, "You have to think about it." ” The old man who was not in the mood to listen to Xu Fengnian's blind break strode away, turned on his horse, rode one person and two horses, and was about to go south to the Central Plains to explore the rivers and lakes.

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Don't let me hear the news that you were beaten down when you just came out of the rivers and lakes." ” The burly old man sat on horseback and said angrily: "You kid just wait for grandpa and I will kill all sides in the Central Plains."

The old man rode down the hill.

Xu Fengnian suddenly looked at the old man's back and shouted: "Old man, in my life, I can firmly believe in the thoughts of my youth, and go to Wudang to learn martial arts, because I saw you at the bottom of the lake, so I believe that there are indeed masters in this world." ” There are masters and immortal characters in the rivers and lakes, and one person can really be ten thousand enemies, so he has the opportunity to really take revenge with his own strength.

Therefore, Xu Fengnian is extremely grateful to this old man whose pipa bones were nailed into chains, and this senior in the rivers and lakes who made him grit his teeth and insist on climbing on the martial arts.

The old man didn't look back, and shouted loudly: "Hypocrisy has the ability" The old man suddenly found that he couldn't say anything to fight this stinky boy, he had the ability to be the number one in the world, this guy didn't die in the hands of Wang Xianzhi, and Tuoba Bodhisattva fought thousands of miles, and there were two people fighting in Tai'an City.

The rivers and lakes are like this, the temples and battlefields, how can he ever lose In the end, the old man who was almost at the foot of the slope shouted: "Xu Fengnian, if you have the ability, you kid will die behind me, remember, don't forget to get some good wine and meat for grandpa and me when the time comes":
