After getting to know this Kou Jianghuai, Hsu Fengnian realized that despite this guy's cold and unapproachable appearance, he was actually a chatterbox. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop talking. During their journey together, Kou Jianghuai asked almost everything about Hsu Fengnian's first trip to Jianghu. On the other hand, Kou Jianghuai never took the initiative to ask about Beiliang's military affairs. Occasionally, when he talked about Guangling's military affairs, which could affect the hearts of the people, he always had a sloppy attitude. This was an eye-opener for Hsu Fengnian. It turned out that there was such a kind of general between the unparalleled valiant general who could break through enemy lines and the scholarly general who only had a feather fan and a silk headscarf. Kou Jianghuai, who had been practicing the sword, had seen that Hsu Fengnian had not only traveled Jianghu with Li Chungang, but had also interacted with Đồng Thái. He wanted nothing more than for Hsu Fengnian to know clearly what the two Sword Gods liked to wear and what they ate. Therefore, when Hsu Fengnian told him the truth about the old man wearing a sheepskin fur coat who liked to pick his feet and dig his ears, Kou Jianghuai, who had collapsed on the spot, was silent for about half a day. With great difficulty, he pulled himself together and rambled, "So that's the style of an expert!" "Not wallowing in the mire with the world, no wonder he could practice the world's best sword. It seems like I also have to wear a tattered fur coat." In the end, when Hsu Fengnian also said that the Peach Blossom Sword God's appearance was not at all like jade, and that he was actually more "approachable" than Kou Jianghuai, Kou Jianghuai fell silent again. When Kou Jianghuai had finally finished healing his injuries, Hsu Fengnian said that he had only practiced martial arts for three or four years, and that he had relied on luck to become a great grandmaster. This made Kou Jianghuai, whose swordsmanship was actually quite good, grief-stricken and completely shut his mouth. When they entered Liangzhou City, Kou Jianghuai finally came back to his senses.
When they could vaguely see the lights of Mount Qingliang, Kou Jianghuai suddenly said as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, "Although you deliberately made it sound easy, I know that it was not easy for you to have your current glory."
Hsu Fengnian smiled indifferently and said, "If this can make you feel better, then you can understand it that way. Hmm, let me make a rough calculation. Since I started practicing the saber in Wudang, I started from Level Two Master Realm to the Celestial Realm, which is above the Earth Immortal Realm. If I really count, there are six realms. It seems that I broke through more than once a year. Oh right, you are still a Master and not at Vajra Realm. If you are lucky, four to five years later, you might be the top expert in the world. "
Thus, Kou Jianghuai stopped talking.
When this Liangzhou deputy general entered the majestic palace, he was still sickly.
Two young Tiger Kui excitedly ran over to welcome Hsu Fengnian. The one nicknamed Vajra directly jumped into Hsu Fengnian's arms. The older sister, Bodhisattva, also intimately bit Hsu Fengnian's robe.
Then, Hsu Fengnian left Kou Jianghuai at Tidehark Lake and took the two happy young Tiger Kui to Wutongin. The second sister, Xu Weixiong, and Lu Chengyan were naturally there. They were busy with the young women who had the reputation of "Female Hanlin". The second sister only looked up at Hsu Fengnian and then lowered her head. Hsu Fengnian walked to Lu Chengyan's desk. What surprised him was that Wang Chudong also had a place in Wutongin. Her desk was right next to Lu Chengyan's. She seemed to be writing a "Collection of Beiliang Heroes" that was destined to not be noticed by the literary circle of Liyang. When Hsu Fengnian moved a chair to sit between them, the little girl was still in a daze. Her serious and playful look made Hsu Fengnian and Lu Chengyan look at each other and smile.
Not far away, Xu Weixiong finished writing a spy report. She put down her pen, rubbed her wrist, and said softly, "Lu Xu will enter the capital in a few days. You should have let Mi Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai kidnap him and bring him to Mount Qing Liang. That way, Deputy Administrator Song would have an easier time."
Hsu Fengnian raised his hands and begged for mercy. "Didn't I kidnap Kou Jianghuai back? It can be considered as making up for my mistakes."
Xu Weixiong glared at him. "Kou Jianghuai didn't come to Beiliang because it was' forbidden '. However, if Lu Xu, who helped Zhao Xun present the plan, came to Tai' an City and was used by Zhao Zhuan, it would harm Beiliang. It's a 'loss'. How can you confuse the two?"
Hsu Fengnian's face was bitter, but he didn't dare to refute.
Lu Chengyan also didn't help him out with words. She just smiled at him.
That great writer Wang Dongxiang, who was slow to realize that Hsu Fengnian was sitting very close to him, was so frightened that he leaned back and fell back with his chair. Hsu Fengnian gently reached out and pulled the chair back to its original position. Wang Chudong, who had made a fool of himself, was ashamed and seemed to want to find a place to hide, like a panicked little fox. Hsu Fengnian made a face at her. She immediately smiled brightly, her eyes narrowed into crescents and her cheeks dimpled.
Hsu Fengnian said with a smile, "Don't be too tired. Remember to strike a balance between work and rest. You can also practice the Wudang Mountain Fist Technique when you have time. "
Xu Weixiong said unhappily, "Don't just stand there and talk."
Hsu Fengnian carefully rolled his eyes at Lu Chengyan and Wang Chudong. The Wutongin maids at the table couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Xu Weixiong was about to continue lecturing when Hsu Fengnian hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go to Teacher Song's place to take a look."
Looking at the King of Beiliang who ran away with the two Tiger Kui, the atmosphere in Wutongin unconsciously relaxed a lot.
Hsu Fengnian's treatment at Song Dongming's place and Wutongin's side was of course like heaven and earth. Now, the officials who served as the subordinates of the Deputy Administrator were mostly outstanding young scholars in Beiliang. They each had their own strengths. However, compared to the younger generation of Jianghu who worshipped and envied Hsu Fengnian's identity as a great master, these scholars were more in awe of Hsu Fengnian, the leader of 300,000 Iron Cavalry, after in-depth understanding of the current situation in Beiliang. Therefore, when Hsu Fengnian and Song Dongming who was taking a break from the busy drinking tea, these young people were all paying attention to the young king's every move. Song Dongming held the teacup that Hsu Fengnian had personally brewed and poured tea for him. He was not in a hurry to drink tea. He was only using it to get rid of the spring chill. He said softly, "All the scholars who went to Liangliang have arrived. The family members of the soldiers who died in battle have also arrived. There are certainly some rumors among them. I hope you don't take it to heart. "
Hsu Fengnian nodded.
Some of the rumors were the same as many people who heard that he had gone outside the Calabash Gate and felt that he was showing off his bravery. Hsu Fengnian really did not want to pay attention to them.
Some of them were extremely bitter and sobbing. Hsu Fengnian did not dare to listen to these.
After chatting about Beiliang's government affairs, Song Dongming stood up and walked out of the room with Hsu Fengnian. This middle-aged man who was once groomed by Yuan Benxi as the Prime Minister hesitated and said, "In the past, I wanted to be the Administrator so that it would be easier for me to show off my skills. After getting along with Li Gongde, I feel that I still hope that he can continue to be the Administrator. I am in Liangzhou and Sir Li is in Lingzhou. It won't be a problem."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "Since Sir Song has said so, then there is no problem."
Song Dongming stopped and said with a smile, "I still have a lot of business to take care of. I won't see you off."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Of course."
Song Dongming said to Hsu Fengnian's back, "In the past, I only knew that Beiliang was a place where martial artists used soldiers. Now, Song Dongming and many scholars have discovered that Beiliang is also a place where scholars can 'write'. I want to thank you on behalf of these people. "
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and smiled happily.
Song Dongming suddenly blinked and tried hard to hold back his smile. He said, "Your Highness, there are a few women of the younger generation in the Song family. They are all virtuous and have written to me. They said that even if they steal, they want me to send back a few small items such as your seals and copybooks. The most courageous one has always wanted to travel the jianghu and be a heroine since she was young. She said that it would be best if I sent her a piece of your clothing. If I didn't send anything back, she would cut ties with me, her uncle. "
Hsu Fengnian rubbed his forehead awkwardly.
Song Dongming laughed heartily and said, "I don't care about the clothing. Your Highness can just casually write four or five characters and send me a few copybooks."

On the night before Qingming Festival, Hsu Fengnian sat alone on the top of the mountain. He watched the city lights at the foot of the mountain gradually light up and then extinguish. He finished a jug of Green Ant wine.
