At his side was the young woman who was traveling with him. It was only because of her pair of limpid eyes that Song Li had taken a liking to her that she was exempted from the gold and silver that her family needed to pass through the border. She was nothing more than a concubine's daughter, so it was the same as being sold for a high price of several tens of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, she was able to establish a relationship with Song Li, a popular figure in Guangling Path. It wasn't just the landowning household that was secretly delighted, even the woman was happy inside. Normally, when marrying, one had to pay particular attention to matching social status. How could she have the extravagant hopes of marrying a Heng Jiang General conferred by the imperial court?
Song Li turned his head, staring at the woman whose name he still didn't know. With a smile, he said, "If you look at this general's wound one more time, I'm going to cut out your eyes."
The woman who originally only knew a bit about horsemanship and whose face was slightly pale from the bumps was immediately horrified to the point where her face was devoid of color.
The pair of women on the posthouse road could be considered to have seen a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. However, when they wanted to go up and express their thanks, that righteous man had already disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The timid woman clutched her chest, breathing heavily. With a wave of lingering fear, she said, "Gaoxia, why don't we return to the capital?"
The tall woman who returned her sword to its scabbard said quietly, "After we meet Zhao Zhu, I'll send you back."
Only upon closer inspection would one realize that she actually had a pair of jade green eyes.
Purple Beard Blue Eyes Grand Secretary Zhang.
The woman didn't have any facial hair, but her jade eyes were similar.
She was also someone from the capital, so her identity wasn't hard to guess. She was Zhang Julu's daughter, Zhang Gaoxia.
Meanwhile, the woman at Zhang Gaoxia's side was a genuine relative of the imperial family, the most noble woman under the heavens. She admired that Song Family's young phoenix, and Zhang Gaoxia just happened to want to roam the jianghu, which was why she snuck out from Great Peace City. During the initial stages of their journey south, it was generally like a spring outing. Occasionally, there were disturbances, but they were all dealt with by Zhang Gaoxia's sword arts. Before they entered Guangling Path, they even made a trip to Martial Emperor City to watch the excitement. Because after Wang Xianzhi left the city, Yu Groom's Building, Huang Linya, and the other disciples also abandoned the city and roamed far away. Without anyone to suppress the experts in the city, at first, they didn't dare act rashly. However, when it was confirmed that Martial Emperor City had indeed become an ownerless land, there were people who began to stir up trouble. However, soon after, a cavalry army was stationed outside the city, only then did things calm down a bit. However, the inner city walls filled with weapons suffered a calamity. Even with the Wang Family's old servant watching over them, there were still a few famed swords and blades missing every day. However, for the time being, not a single weapon inserted on the walls had been stolen. Zhang Gaoxia had brought her to the Martial Emperor City to relax, but also because she had to personally see the divine weapons on the wall. She practiced the sword, so she stood at the foot of the wall and observed for a full two hours, searching for those legendary ancient swords. On the top of the wall, there was the Great Sword of the Yellow Cottage, the thin sword of the Moth Fish, the Sword of the Dongyue Sword Pool, the Sword of Thrushamei that was hung by a pair of immortal couples three hundred years ago, and the extremely inauspicious "Break with Jun." There was also the strange "Half Shoulder Small Pointed" sword of the Guanyin Sect of the Southern Sea, and the swords of the two Sword Crowns of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, "Seriousness" and "Reassurance." There were too many to count. If it were not for the fact that her close friend found it boring, Zhang Gaoxia could have stayed at the foot of the wall for a day and a night. Each sword represented a peerless swordsman and a shocking defeat.
The woman asked curiously, "Gaoxia, who was that warrior? Did you recognize him? Did you see him clearly? "
Zhang Gaoxia shook her head regretfully. "No."
The woman sighed. "If we were in Great Peace City, we could have repaid his kindness."
Zhang Gaoxia muttered to herself, "After this, there won't be anything to do with Jianghu. If there really is, then it's just people who don't care about their lives dying on the battlefield."
The woman suddenly said angrily, "This person is called Song Li. He's really detestable!"
Zhang Gaoxia hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not say it. She had once inadvertently heard her father commenting on the people of Guangling. Among them, he had mentioned this Song Li, the Prince of Guangling's blessing general. Song Li was actually a chess piece that the imperial court had placed in Guangling's Spring Snow Building a long time ago. But hearing her father's tone, Zhao Yi had also sensed this in the past two years, but still did not shed all pretense of cordiality. On the contrary, he valued this person more and more. If he wanted money, food, soldiers, and horses, he would give them all to him without hesitation. However, Song Li did not listen to Zhang Lu's orders. Even Gu Jiantang's Gu Lu, which only existed in name now, had not been able to order Song Li around in the past. Zhang Gaoxia privately speculated that this Song Li should be called Zhao Li. His backers might be the most powerful elders of the Imperial House. These old men who had followed the previous emperor to the north and south and lived a life of war had been silent for too many years. Zhang Gaoxia's father, the Grand Secretary, had once revealed heavenly secrets to his daughter. He had laughed and said that those old men, who were buried up to their necks in the yellow earth, had gritted their teeth and refused to step into the coffin because they wanted to wait for the two people outside the door to die first. Later, when the news of Xu Xiao's death spread to the capital, Zhang Gaoxia went to the study that her brothers had treated as a forbidden land. When she found that the person outside the door had died, the father of the person inside the door was not very happy. Instead, he was somewhat lonely.
When she left the room and closed the door, she vaguely heard her father say, "Since ancient times, it has been difficult for famous generals and officials to die of old age. Xu Xiao has won."
Returning to the inn in town, Hsu Fengnian was not in a hurry to leave. His trip to the Eastern Sea this time was one thing. However, if Guangling Road mistakenly thought that they could take advantage of the situation, he did not mind learning from Cao Changqing and having a good chat with Zhao Yi and Zhao Yuang. As for Song Li, he naturally knew more than Zhang Gaoxia. In name, Song Li was one of the most popular people in the Spring Snow Building. It was even rumored that he had squeezed out Lu Shengxiang's position. In reality, there was no such thing. Lu Shengxiang going to the capital to be assistant minister of the Ministry of War was an open attempt by the court to steal people from him. Song Li was secretly stealing people from the Spring Snow Building. However, even Zhao Yi probably only knew part of it. Song Li was not only a chess piece of Great Peace City, he was also the work of the Yan King Zhao Bing. As to who Song Li would be loyal to in the end, only the heavens and earth knew, as well as Song Li himself.
Song Li was a chess piece that had been manipulated by many sides. Since he was able to survive on his own, he definitely did not rely on luck to get to where he was today. As expected, he did not come to the inn to make a big fuss. Hsu Fengnian left the country early the next morning.
Actually, on the way to the inn, Hsu Fengnian would definitely die if Wang Fu could get within ten feet of him.
However, Hsu Fengnian was even more certain that even if Wang Fu was given a hundred years, that guy would not be able to get within ten feet of him.
Because Wang Fu was not Gu Jiantang.
The difference of one step was often the difference between heaven and earth.
The carriage slowly approached the Eastern Sea.
The sound of the tide gradually grew louder.
Other than the relic sword box, the items that Hsu Fengnian wanted to take away from Martial Emperor City would shock the entire world.
