After a moment of silence, Fu Zhensheng suddenly asked, "Pardon me for asking, but Young Master Xu's Qi is strong, so you must be someone who practices martial arts. I wonder if you practice the blade or the sword?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled, "At first, I practiced the blade, then I practiced the sword."
Fu Zhensheng probably felt that this young master with a noble identity was biting off more than he could chew, so he didn't know how to continue the conversation. After a while, he could only say, "I have practiced the blade since I was young, but I have never been able to reach a higher level. When we return to Lingzhou in the future, if we can meet again, we can learn from each other. "
Yu Dilong secretly bared his teeth.
He thought to himself that this fellow was really powerful, wanting to learn from his master?
Hsu Fengnian made a sound of acknowledgment, then asked with a smile, "Why don't I see you carrying a blade?"
Fu Zhensheng laughed, "I'm used to using a cold blade, but Beiliang doesn't allow people to carry cold blades when they go out, so I could only find a normal short blade and stuff it in my bag."
After that, Fu Zhensheng really couldn't find anything to say, so he continued to lead the group of horses through the night. Late at night, the group of horses finally arrived outside Qingcang City. Fu Zhensheng once again rode his horse to Hsu Fengnian's side, saying, "Young Master Xu, we won't be entering the city, so we'll part ways here."
Hsu Fengnian cupped his fists, "Have a safe journey."
Fu Zhensheng was a little worried, "The city is closed at night, how will Young Master Xu enter the city? Although there are elite cavalry patrolling the area around Qingcang City, this place of refugees has only been under Beiliang's control for a few days, and we really don't have enough manpower on our side … "
Hsu Fengnian directly smiled and said, "It's fine, I have a proper way to enter the city."
Fu Zhensheng couldn't help but be speechless, and had a higher opinion of this person. It must be known that Beiliang's border military law was extremely strict, and it wasn't something that the soldiers in Lingzhou could compare to. Since that was the case, Fu Zhensheng didn't waste any more words and bid each other farewell.
Not long after the caravan circled around Qingcang City, they heard an unusual sound of horse hooves. Not only was Fu Zhensheng worried, he sat high on his horse and looked around nervously. He even pulled out his dagger. Even Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang had serious expressions on their faces. This was especially so when an expert in the caravan heard that there were no less than thirty horses. This made the Fu Clan's caravan feel as if they were facing a great enemy. In the refugee lands where lives were valued like grass, anyone who could ride a horse in the past was an extremely difficult person to deal with. Their ability to fight on horseback was not inferior to the elite cavalry of the Beiliang Frontier Army. Although there were more than a hundred people in the Fu Clan's caravan, and Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang were also martial arts experts, if they really fought with their lives on the line, how could there be no deaths? They were even more afraid of getting into trouble and being targeted by a large group of mounted bandits. It was hard to say how many of them would be able to make it to the military town of Feng Xiang alive. However, one of the Fu Clan's cavalrymen, who had temporarily acted as a scout, hurried back. He couldn't hide the joy on his face and said loudly, "Young Master, it's a Dragon Elephant Cavalry, one of our own in Beiliang!"
Everyone felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, and they all looked at each other and smiled. The Long Xiang Army personally led by the young prince was the Iron Cavalry of the Beiliang cavalry. Last year, when they attacked the military towns in Beimang's Gusai Prefecture, it was like a strong man bullying a young lady.
The Dragon-Elephant Cavalry stopped a hundred paces away, and only one cavalryman, who looked like the Dragon-Elephant Cavalry, continued forward. Moreover, he dismounted from his horse and walked forward quickly. This action made the Fu Clan's caravan feel confused. Even if this famous Dragon-Elephant Cavalry was patrolling outside the city at night, they wouldn't need to be treated so seriously when they saw that their status was similar to that of commoners, right? Although Fu Zhensheng, Zhao Jiabao, and Feng Qianxiang didn't understand the situation, they hurriedly dismounted to welcome them. That sturdy armored Dragon-Elephant Cavalry not only had a new type of Beiliang sword at his waist, he also had an additional one in his hand. He asked the three leaders of the Fu Clan in a deep voice, "Who is Young Master Fu Zhensheng?"
Fu Zhensheng respectfully replied, "I am."
That Dragon-Elephant Cavalry's face had a sinister scar that covered his entire face. For the first time, he squeezed out a smile and walked forward with large steps. He handed the sword to Fu Zhensheng with both hands and said, "Our King …"
The Dragon-Elephant Cavalry quickly swallowed the second word that he almost blurted out and said, "Our Young Master said that in order to thank you for escorting him this time, he wants to give this sword to Young Master Fu."
Fu Zhensheng took the new cold sword that even many surplus generals in Lingzhou had only heard of but never seen. That Dragon-Elephant Cavalry grinned and said, "Our Young Master wants you to be at ease with this sword. It's hard to say when you return to Lingzhou, but as long as you are in Liuzhou, no one will dare to say anything about it."
Fu Zhensheng was stunned on the spot. That Dragon-Elephant Cavalry mistakenly thought that this kid was timid and was afraid that his words would not have any effect. He was worried that if he went somewhere else and was caught red-handed, he would not be able to bear the consequences. He was famous in the Long Xiang Army for having a violent temper and almost flipped out. However, he quickly suppressed it and tried his best to maintain a "pleasant expression". But in reality, Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang could already feel a strong murderous aura, not to mention Fu Zhensheng, who was facing this Dragon-Elephant Cavalry. He almost thought that this Dragon-Elephant Cavalry would turn hostile and kill him. Behind them, there were more than 30 solemn and cold elite cavalry. Under the moonlight, even if the Fu family's cavalry had the confidence to deal with an equal number of horse bandits, they did not have the slightest confidence that they could escape from the charge of 30 cavalry. After that Dragon-Elephant Cavalry gave the sword, he turned around and left. He muttered to himself as if he was saying that the one surnamed Fu was too long-winded. Following that, Fu Zhensheng and the others could not hear him clearly.
After that Dragon-Elephant Cavalry mounted his horse, the cavalry of Dragon-Elephant Cavalry instantly disappeared.
He came and went like the wind.
Zhao Jiabao looked at Feng Qianxiang and asked softly, "Brother Qianxiang, doesn't he look a bit like the deputy general of the Long Xiang Army, 'Scarface' Wang Lingbao?"
The corner of Feng Qianxiang's mouth twitched as he laughed dryly, "That's impossible."
After mounting the horse, Fu Zhensheng hung his Beiliang saber and laughed, "How is that possible? Uncle Zhao, Uncle Feng, let's go. "
Zhao Jiabao laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "That's right. If it's really the legendary Wang Lingbao who once killed seventeen generals of the Spring and Autumn Period, then he's famous for his bad temper. We won't be able to deal with him with one hand."
In the distance, on the walls of Qingcang City, the marksman walked up to Hsu Fengnian. He lowered his head and cupped his fists, "Reporting to Your Highness, the saber has been delivered. I have already mobilized eight hundred riders to follow behind you, and more will be added along the way. Not to mention the death of a single person or even a single horse, Your Highness, you can twist Wang Lingbao's head off and use it as a urinal! "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and muttered to himself, "It can be said that other than you, the Fu Clan is also the reason why Beiliang has the capital to fight to the death with Beimang."
Wang Lingbao raised his head and looked at the back of this figure.
He wasn't always standing there like he was in his later years.
However, Wang Lingbao clearly remembered that when the Great General was in his prime, as long as he stood there, he would be able to support both heaven and earth!
Wang Lingbao rubbed his face hard.
Hsu Fengnian turned around and asked with a smile, "Deputy Wang, if I remember correctly, you joined the Beiliang army when you were fourteen years old. Did you join the army first? You've been fighting for almost thirty years, haven't you? "
Wang Lingbao panicked and his face turned red. He stiffened his neck and said, "Your Highness, I'm not old. It's only thirty years of war, I haven't fought enough!"
Hsu Fengnian glared at him.
Wang Lingbao immediately shrunk his neck. Motherf * cker, this prince was the one who had killed Wang Xianzhi. It wouldn't be embarrassing for him to admit defeat, right?
Hsu Fengnian couldn't help but laugh. "You're one of the people in Liuzhou who know about the movements of that army. In order to cover for them, I'll give you a battle to fight. How about it?"
Wang Lingbao subconsciously rubbed his hands and asked, "Is this battle big?"
Hsu Fengnian said, "Our spies have confirmed that Ma Liuke, the Shepherd of Fengxiang City, has not given up on his evil intentions and has been flirting with Beimang."
Wang Lingbao became anxious and cursed out of habit. "That dog Ma Liuke, with his several thousand small soldiers, it's not even enough to fill the stomachs of any officer under my command … …"
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "Are you going or not?"
Wang Lingbao wiped his mouth and a bloody "silly smile" appeared on his face. He laughed. "Go, why wouldn't I go? A mosquito's leg is still meat, it's a waste not to eat it. "
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand.
Wang Lingbao ran down the city walls.
He turned his head and looked at the back of that figure.
He felt that the Great General was standing there again.
