When the uninvited guest sat down, Hsu Fengnian passed her a bowl of wine. The other party did not stand on ceremony and drank a mouthful of wine. Her cheeks were slightly red.
Yelu Hongcai looked at this tall lady curiously.
Every move she made showed the bearing of a grandmaster. There was also a kind of heart-tugging free and easy style.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Senior, how did you know that I have arrived at Tiger Head City?"
Tantai Pingjing said indifferently, "I heard from my master that the celestial beings look down on all living things in the world, just like how we look at the fireflies in the summer night. Most of the fireflies are fleeting, but there are always a few that are especially bright. At some point, they are even as bright as the stars."
Hsu Fengnian suddenly understood. It must have been because they had intercepted and killed the 400 cavalrymen earlier that the Qi Refinement Grandmaster, who was good at observing aura, caught some clues. Then, she was just waiting for them near Tiger Head City. According to Tantai Pingjing, or to be precise, according to the explanation of this master of the sect, the top masters of the world were only the "people of the world" of the immortals in the clouds. However, for masters like Bodhisattva Tuoba and Cao Zhangqing, the fireflies they emitted were particularly eye-catching. Qi Refinement Warriors were mending the net of law on behalf of the heavens. Naturally, it would be easier for them to find this small group of experts.
Hsu Fengnian asked, "Can it be said that when people seek Dao and attain Dao, they are using the light of a grain of rice to compete with the brightness of the moon?"
Tantai Pingjing shook her head and said, "Master said that after cultivating Dao, it is nothing more than a drop of water in the sea. The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky? No, it comes from the sea. Therefore, it flows into the sea and never returns? No. "
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Your master's words are so sharp, so … reasonable?"
Tantai Pingjing dismissed it with a smile as if she was a Venerable.
Hsu Fengnian stared at Princess Hongyan who wanted to secretly pour a bowl of wine for herself. The latter retracted her hand resentfully.
Hsu Fengnian pointed at the courtyard door. Qifu Longguan took the lead and left. Princess Hong Yan waited for a moment and guessed that the brat had gone far away. Only then did she sneak over to the courtyard door and cross the threshold.
In the end, a crisp and clear 'pa' sound was heard, followed by Princess Hong Yan's furious curses.
Tantai Pingjing said softly, "Your Highness has a good eye."
Hsu Fengnian was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
She took a small sip of wine. "This man and woman are both people with good fortune. They are worthy of Prince's care."
Hsu Fengnian sneered, "Luck?"
Tantai Pingjing's expression didn't change. "If your luck is too good, then that is your destiny. If it were a normal person, would they be able to survive if they had an extra hundred lives when facing a martial arts expert who had started a massacre? "
Hsu Fengnian was about to speak when Tantai Pingjing shook her head and said, "You have your reasons, but it doesn't change the fact that they survived."
She continued, "According to our previous agreement, our Guanyin Sect will stay south of Huaiyang Pass and north of Qinghe Pass. We will also do our best to gather good fortune for Beiliang. However, whether we stay or leave in the end is not up to the Beiliang Frontier Army to decide."
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "Of course."
She still asked bluntly, "What if Your Highness unfortunately dies?"
Hsu Fengnian said helplessly, "Don't worry. If that day really comes, I will give it all to that charcoal girl before I die."
Tantai Pingjing hovered the wine bowl and asked seriously, "The war is imminent. Isn't it a bit unlucky for you to say this to me?"
Xu Fengnian smiled at the woman who seemed to be completely ignorant of worldly affairs and asked, "What do you think?"
Tantai Pingjing rested one arm on the stone table and the other hand holding the wine bowl. She raised her head to look at the starry sky.
Hsu Fengnian was in a peaceful mood. He closed his eyes and slowly took a sip of wine.
The two people who didn't look at each other casually asked and answered each other's questions.
"The Beimang Army's forces on the border are almost at their limit, but they still have spare soldiers and horses to launch the next wave of attacks on the northern grasslands. Faced with an enemy that the entire Liyang Dynasty should be able to contend against, aren't you worried about Liuzhou, which has the least danger? "
"Of course I'm worried. It's probably like when Xu Xiao watched me go to the Central Plains and Beimang. "
"To attack Liangzhou, Liuzhou, or Youzhou, which one to attack first has its advantages and disadvantages for Beimang? What do you think? "
"In truth, it doesn't matter where we attack first. My father, Xu Xiao, my master, Li Yishan, Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan, Yan Wenluan, Chen Yunchui, He Zhonghu, and people like Liu Jinu of Hutou have already done the best they can for Beiliang. You might not believe it, but I'm beginning to think that Beiliang might really be able to hold on. But I don't know who will die on the battlefield in Beiliang. I don't want to know. "
"Then why hasn't Tuoba appeared on the border?"
"It's just like how the Zhao Clan's Son of Heaven wants to keep Gu Jiantang in the north and not let him go to Guangling Road, because this is the dynasty's final trump card. When that old woman and the imperial tutor needed Tuoba to personally take action, it meant that the situation was starting to slip out of control. Before this, they were all confident that victory was in their grasp. "
Tantai Pingjing suddenly asked a very off-topic question, "Why didn't you kill that Beimang princess?"
Hsu Fengnian laughed involuntarily. After a moment of silence, he looked at the starry sky with her. "Of course it's not that I like her. It's just that she reminds me of someone I miss very much. We both like marten forehead coverings, have the same bad reputation, and have the same unyielding character. I could have killed her but I didn't because I wanted her to know how difficult it is to live. "
Tantai Pingjing poured the last bit of wine into her bowl and finished it in one gulp. "Who do you really care about?"
Hsu Fengnian stretched out his finger and pointed at the starry sky. He said gently, "My elder sister is there."
After some time, Hsu Fengnian came back to his senses. He could not help but hold his forehead and sigh.
This number one Qi Refinement Warrior of the dynasty, who had extraordinary status and strength, not only fell asleep drunk, but was also snoring on the table.
Hsu Fengnian could read her mind. He looked at her and sighed. "You must be missing your master, right?"
