Hsu Fengnian glanced helplessly at the spear master who had probably set a trap for him. When he came back to his senses, the Qi in his body was at its most turbulent and dangerous stage, and his perception of his surroundings was not very sharp. As the best fighter in Beiliang, Xu Yanbing could easily find out about the arrival of the Bodhisattva from the Western Region. However, Hsu Fengnian could not. Even when he heard her sarcastic laughter, he did not feel embarrassed. He leaned against the wall of the carriage and did not deliberately stand up to greet her. Instead, he put his palms together and bowed to the six-Jeweled Master from Mount Lantuo. Then, he waved at her, indicating for her to enter the carriage for a chat. Xu Yanbing tactfully walked away. Hehe, the girl squatted in the distance and drew sand on the ground with a sunflower. The Bodhisattva did not enter the carriage. Instead, she stood beside the carriage and looked at Hsu Fengnian with a peaceful expression. Xu Fengnian, on the other hand, was somewhat emotional. At the beginning of the year, when Xiang Fan was sitting steadily in the Spring and Autumn Fishing Platform, this woman led the ghosts out of the city and he almost mistook her for the White-clothed Guanyin. At that time, he was in awe of this woman who could make the old man in the sheepskin fur coat attack. Later on, the prince Zhao Kai went to the Western Regions with the silver vase. He and she were already enemies of opposing camps. After that, the situation took a turn for the worse and the two of them became a pair of adulterous lovers who flirted with each other. Bei Liang secretly used his cavalry to help her get rid of dissidents and climb to the top of Mount Lantuo. She, on the other hand, used esoteric monks to help Bei Liang infiltrate the refugees' land.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the Bodhisattva with a head of black hair. However, the Bodhisattva did not lack in celestial aura. Her hair was simply tied in a white hemp knot around her neck, making her look forgettable. At present, not only was Xu Fengnian an ally of equal standing with her, he even had the capital to look down on her. Other than the fact that Mount Lantuo was a head lower than Mount Qingliang, in terms of martial prowess alone, Xu Fengnian was confident that he could pay an acceptable price and successfully kill her, even if she possessed six manifestations. Hsu Fengnian was calm and unperturbed. He smiled and asked, "Master, why did you come to Youzhou in person?"
This Bodhisattva with six pearls, who was like the sun in the sky in the Western Region, seemed to have the ability to make people feel like bathing in the spring breeze and thus feel happy. Her smile was tranquil, just like the celestial being on the mural. However, her tone was slightly alienated. She asked, "The Long Xiang Army was hastily expanded from ten thousand to thirty thousand. Can you guarantee that the Western Region will not be invaded by Beimang?"
Hsu Fengnian twitched the corner of his mouth. "It was said that there were twenty thousand Horse Gangs besieging Qingcang City for more than ten days. They could not break through the city and only left two thousand corpses. In the end, six thousand Horse Gangs slaughtered twelve thousand Horse Gangs in three days. They chopped off heads until everyone changed to cold knives. In the end, only a few hundred people escaped. Finally, we know what twenty thousand people are. They are just fourteen thousand Horse Gangs. Master, you may say that these Horse Gangs are not worth mentioning compared to the regular army. They are not organized and can only fight some contact battles with seven or eight hundred people at most. They can win by bravery. If there are too many people, they will show the fatal flaw of not knowing the battle formation. However, according to Northern Liang's spy report, the two thousand bandits who were the backbone of the fourteen thousand bandits were the elite cavalry of the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty. They were equipped with good horses, bows, swords, and armor. The leader of the army was a senior military officer of the Southern Dynasty. The reason why the bandits couldn't withstand a single blow was because the bandits were defeated by Huang Man 'er herself. Master, are you interested in guessing how many Dragon Elephant Army soldiers Huang Man' er had at that time? "
The Bodhisattva with six pearls was expressionless.
Hsu Fengnian did not care. He stretched out a hand and answered his own question, "Only five hundred. Of course, I don't deny that the Long Xiang Army is Beiliang's elite cavalry. These five hundred are the best of the best. Master, you asked me if I can guarantee that the Western Region will be protected by Beiliang. The answer is obvious, yes. However, the land of refugees is the focus of Liang Mang's front line. The Western Region is far away from the main battlefield. Its final ownership and significance of the war is at most a secret troop. No one can be sure when it will be used. It may not even be able to determine the outcome of the war from the beginning to the end. Instead, it may become a burden to the overall situation. Moreover, the deal between you and me was a one-time deal. I support you to control the Western Region, and you help me to suppress the ancient military town of Feng Xiang. Both sides offered a fair price. Therefore, we are both willing and happy to cooperate. Why should I put in extra effort to protect the safety of the Western Region? "
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva smiled and asked, "How do you achieve great freedom?"
Hsu Fengnian had a strange look on his face. "Dual cultivation?"
Ordinary women would have long been shy, but this esoteric master still had a calm expression and nodded as if he had said a Buddhist principle.
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand without hesitation. "I wasn't joking just now. I dare to provoke anyone, but I can't provoke that woman."
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva smiled. "I can wait."
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "Up to you."
The Six-Pearl Bodhisattva walked up the carriage and sat on the other side. He said softly, "The art of war emphasizes the combination of the strange and the right. When the battle of Liang Mang started, Liangzhou was the right place, the land of refugees was the strange place, and the Western Region was the strange place after the strange place. It is not as simple as the King of Beiliang said. If it were any other King of Liyang who said that the Western Region was useless, I would believe it. Beiliang? Since when did Beiliang have the habit of thinking about defeat before the battle? "
