(There is only one chapter today.)
Those who belittle their enemies are merciless, those who belittle righteousness are merciless, and those who belittle filial piety are the most heartless. What kind of person was His Royal Highness? Countless courtesans in Beiliang said that he was affectionate and recognized the appearance of gold and jade. Scholars and scholars unanimously said that he was unrighteous and concluded that there was something rotten inside. Hsu Fengnian had long stopped paying attention to these gossip. At this time, he just accompanied Zhao Yutai, who was no longer covered in armor, into the Guanyin Pavilion and sat down. For some reason, after becoming the crowned Taoist nun of Mount Qingcheng, she was even more burly than Hsu Fengnian. The two of them sat side by side, it was a bit funny, like His Royal Highness was a little bird. Hsu Fengnian could not hide his joy as he looked at Aunt Zhao.
The armored maid, Zhao Yutai, was a young swordsman servant of the Wu family's sword tomb. A swordsman servant was a person who was selected at a young age to have a different surname. They grew up with their masters and were carefully cultivated. They were silent characters who fed and nurtured their masters' swords until the end of their lives. Each of them had outstanding attainments in swordsmanship since they were young. There were even powerful swordsman servants whose swordsmanship surpassed that of their masters before the age of twenty. After their masters reached adulthood, a swordsman servant was only responsible for sharpening the heart of the sword and swordsmanship. They were not required to die for their masters. This was even strictly forbidden by the Wu family's sword tomb because they were afraid that the swordsmen of the Wu family would have nothing to fear.
Wu Liuding went south in a green robe with a sword. It was destined that a shadow swordsman servant would secretly follow him.
Every young swordsman of the Wu family left the mountain to practice swordsmanship. They were all outstanding geniuses. Once they left the sword tomb, there were only two possibilities. One was to become the number one swordsman and return to the sword tomb with glory. The other was to die on the path of cultivation and not be buried in the sword tomb. They were not even qualified to take their swords back to the family.
Hsu Fengnian asked softly, "Aunt, why are you in Mount Qingcheng?"
Zhao Yutai, who had been scrutinizing Hsu Fengnian's face, did not conceal anything. She said softly, "After I took off my mask, I supported Wu Lingsu to be my puppet. The Grand General needed Mount Qingcheng to become an empty city on a dead mountain. No less than six thousand armored soldiers were secretly stationed there to guard against future troubles. In the early years, his plan was that if the Beiliang cavalry was defeated in Beimang, Yongzhou would not be completely defeated without a fight. Otherwise, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to take back the natural stronghold. There were also some who were worried about being stabbed in the back by Gu Jiantang while the war was raging on the border. However, in recent years, the Grand General's armored vanguard had fought Beimang alone and did not lose at all. In addition, he was able to strategize in the imperial court thousands of miles away. He was not crushed by the title of being too powerful to intimidate the emperor. It could be said that he had gained a firm foothold in Beiliang. The matter of secretly stationing troops in Mount Qingcheng slowed down a bit. Deploying troops under the eyes of Yongzhou and the imperial court was not a small matter. I have been making wild guesses over the years. If the Grand General still has other arrangements in the eastern Jiange, then he is preparing for the worst. No matter how Beiliang's 300,000 cavalry collapses, these six thousand armored soldiers can ensure Beiliang's entry into the western regions. The dynasty will no longer be able to restrain His Royal Highness. At the very least, the Xu family will not end up in desolation. "
Hsu Fengnian sighed, "Xu Xiao has such a big plan. When I entered Mount Qingcheng this time, I made a detailed map. I just feel that this place is the strategic center of Yongzhou. It is a pity that there are no soldiers guarding this place. Hearing his aunt's words, with Xu Xiao's temperament, there was a high chance that the Sword Pavilion had been bribed by him and had planted a death trap. However, I think that the imperial court may have many hidden pawns. It will depend on who strikes first, and who has more tricks. In these years, Li Yishan has replaced Zhao Changling and Uncle Zhao as Xu Xiao's strategist. There seems to be ten rounds of Listening to the Tide. I don't know how many rounds it has been. Xu Xiao's helplessness was that he was too eye-catching. He did not want to rebel, but there were people who wanted him to rebel even in their dreams. West Chu was killed in the Battle of the Western Wall. It was said that many old generals had privately advised Xu Xiao to take the opportunity to take over the entire world. Which commander does not want to be the founding hero of a new dynasty? Which strategist does not want to be the teacher of the emperor? It's just that there was no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn period, and the hundred generations of wealthy clans gradually withered. Xu Xiao is the culprit. Without the hearts of the people and the agreement of the scholars, even if Xu Xiao can go north like a hot knife through butter and directly attack the Dragon Court, how can he sit firmly on the throne of the Emperor? "
Zhao Yutai, who called herself a servant, held Hsu Fengnian's hand and said with a benevolent smile, "His Highness is very similar to Miss. He looks like you, and does things like you."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head.
Zhao Yutai asked, "Why did His Highness not use the Beiliang light cavalry to break through the Shenxiao sword formation? If he gave the order, these fierce soldiers would have some loyalty to His Highness. "
Hsu Fengnian took out Li Yishan's special xuan paper that he had obtained from the foot of the spear falcon and handed it to Zhao Yutai. He said softly, "After seeing this, I did not dare to mess around. Before leaving Beiliang, Li Yishan said that he would give me three brocade pouches. This is the first one. I wanted to beg him to give me all of them, but Li Yishan refused. He knew that I was a rascal who would open all of them at the turn of my head. "
Zhao Yutai saw a line of words: Stop when you meet the king. Don't kill if you can.
She smiled and handed it back to Hsu Fengnian. Hsu Fengnian tore it up and threw it out. It was blown away by the wind.
Hsu Fengnian asked curiously, "Aunt, is Wu Liuding the sword crown of this generation in the sword tomb?"
Zhao Yutai nodded calmly without any change in expression.
Hsu Fengnian subconsciously tightened his grip on Zhao Yutai's hand and said with a sinister smile, "Then when I have the chance, I must meet the Wu family sword tomb's outstanding talent. I want to see if his swordsmanship is worthy of the sword crown!"
Zhao Yutai smiled. "Your Highness, among your retainers, that one-armed old man is the most profound. Which sword dao senior is he?"
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "Li Chungang, who was suppressed under the Tide-listening Pavilion by Xu Xiao for many years. He's the god of swords of the older generation. I know he lost to Wang Xianzhi, but I don't know how he lost an arm."
Zhao Yutai smiled. "So it's God of Swords Li. No wonder. The ancestor who taught Miss and her servants swordsmanship when they were young was defeated by Li Chungang. Not only did he break his sword, he also destroyed his sword heart, causing him to have no hope of reaching the sword immortal realm. In the past hundred years, Li Chungang defeated a chief swordsman and took away a wooden bull. Later on, Đồng Thái also won, but he didn't bother to pick a sword on Sword Mountain. Wu family sword tomb's reputation was swept away. Sword crown Wu Liuding will definitely fight with the current god of swords, Đồng Thái. According to a few secret letters, Wu Liuding has just entered the Finger Profound Realm and is still some distance away from the Celestial Phenomenon realm. However, the most outstanding swordsmen of each generation of the Wu family never advance step by step. They all stop at a thousand days and then advance at a tremendous pace. No swordsman in the world has as solid a foundation as the Wu family. Miss was like this in the past. With a sword in hand, she was only a rank one mortal before she left the tomb. She had a life and death battle with the previous chief swordsman, but she skipped the two major realms of Vajra and Finger Profound and reached the Celestial Phenomenon realm! "
Hsu Fengnian looked at the empty valley on the cliff and muttered, "Aunt, I'm much more stupid."
Zhao Yutai shook her head gently. "Generally speaking, if you can't enter the Vajra Realm by the age of thirty, you won't be able to reach the Finger Profound in your lifetime. However, Jian Jiuhuang stopped being a blacksmith at the age of thirty. Who dares to say he's not an expert? Your Highness, you have countless secret manuals that you can browse through. I have a suggestion. You can consider being the first to strike fifty times and be unparalleled in the world. You don't have to learn from those experts who can defeat the enemy with a snap of their fingers, and you don't have to be like Cao Guanzi, who became better at fighting as the battle progressed. Your Highness' memory is unparalleled, so it's not difficult for you to read a lot of books. You just have to pick out one or two of the most quintessential moves from each of the hundreds and thousands of secret manuals. It's as if Your Highness' cultivation in the Great Yellow Court can gradually be used for your own use. You can mix and blend the essence of your ancestors into your own body. Then, you can go against the enemy. Fifty times, every move will be like an antelope hanging its horn without leaving a trace.
Hsu Fengnian was stunned for a moment and muttered, "It seems feasible."
Zhao Yutai smiled but didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian was instantly high-spirited, and the purple aura between his eyebrows was indifferent.
The two of them sat in silence after reuniting.
Hsu Fengnian said slowly after a long time, "I wonder how Xu Xiao's journey to the capital went?"
Zhao Yutai said in a low voice, "A sleeping tiger doesn't open its eyes. When it opens its eyes, it kills."
