Speaking of this, Hsu Fengnian gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Son of a bitch, if Beiliang could have Western Shu as a strategic depth and source of troops, would I still need to listen to the imperial court? Would I still need to personally go out of the calabash and lead 10,000 Youzhou cavalry to their deaths? I could sit on a small stool in Huaiyang Pass and bask in the sun while eating melon seeds, waiting for those Beimang barbarians to attack Beiliang! Would they dare? Humph, if it weren't for Zhao Dun asking him, the Minister of War, to go to Western Shu, it would have been Gu Jiantang's Liangliao Defense Line to face those millions of troops. "
Looking at the young lord who lost his composure, Tantai Pingjing smiled and said softly, "You really don't want to be the emperor? I think you'll be a good emperor. "
The muttering Hsu Fengnian calmed down and raised his head to ask, "Why?"
Tantai Pingjing said, "The Zhao family can't tolerate Beiliang, but you can tolerate the Central Plains."
Xu Fengnian said lazily, "There are definitely people who can do better than me when it comes to being the Emperor and sitting on the dragon throne. However, I, Xu Fengnian, am the only one who can be the King of Northern Liang in this world. This has something to do with my martial prowess and knowledge, but that is not the most important thing. As for whether I can be the King of Northern Liang, it has nothing to do with me.
Tantai Pingjing asked, "Even Chen Zhibao can't?"
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "Probably not. But Chen Zhibao can't do it, not because this white-clothed war saint can't do it, but because of my own selfishness. I don't care who sits on the dragon throne, but the position of the King of Beiliang must be mine. "
Tantai Pingjing said considerately, "It's natural to live for oneself. Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost. "
Hsu Fengnian couldn't help laughing and said, "My Master Tantai, I can tolerate such nonsense if others say it, but why are you also beginning to misinterpret the Buddhist classics?"
As one of the few Qi-trainer gurus in the world, Tantai Pingjing is the one who catches the fish that escapes the net for the natural law. How can she not know the true meaning of this sentence of Buddhism that is taken out of context by the world? She asked, "Did I really misinterpret it?"
Hsu Fengnian sighed softly. "You think too highly of me."
After the two of them mounted their horses, Hsu Fengnian suddenly smiled brightly. "You asked me if I want to be the emperor? Why don't you make a guess? "
Tantai Pingjing was furious.
So the two of them rode north in silence.
However, when they were less than a hundred li away from Liangzhou City, Hsu Fengnian stopped his horse at the relay station and told her to head west without any warning. Tantai Pingjing asked, "What is the west, hundreds or thousands of miles?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said that if he wanted to borrow troops from others, they wouldn't be able to reach an agreement.
He even said that he needed to make this trip by himself. Otherwise, it would seem as if he was going to cause trouble. It would be ridiculous.
Tantai Pingjing said that the person who is most confident in killing you alone in the world happens to be in the middle of the road to the west of Mount Lantuo.
Hsu Fengnian only said "Yes" and didn't say anything else.
Tantai Pingjing suddenly flew into a rage. "Even if Xu Longxiang is your brother, he has his own destiny. Are you going to protect him for a lifetime? You have already suffered enough in Liuzhou. Are you going to break your head and bleed again? "
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "I didn't even fight with Xie Guanying. I won't fight with Tuoba Bodhisattva for the time being. Of course, I will take a detour. I won't look for Tuoba Bodhisattva if I have nothing better to do."
Tantai Pingjing suppressed her anger. "I will send you to Qingcang City. Let me give you a word of advice. You better not fight with others in Mount Lantuo! Otherwise, even if I foresee that Tuoba Bodhisattva wants to kill you, I can only watch him do it. "
Hsu Fengnian blinked. "Actually, I was waiting for you to say this."
Tantai Pingjing's expression was extremely ugly. It was obvious that this Qi Refinement Grandmaster was enraged.
Hsu Fengnian mounted the horse again. He smiled gently and asked, "Have you guessed the answer to that question?"
Tantai Pingjing's temper finally exploded. She said angrily, "Guess your head!"
Hsu Fengnian's lips moved slightly as he muttered something softly.
Tantai Pingjing instantly regained the demeanor of a Qi Refinement Grandmaster.
In the second year of the auspicious talisman, the valley rain arrived. Spring had already set in.
Every household had a cinnabar tome that forbade scorpions.
After Hsu Fengnian and Tantai Pingjing parted ways at the south of Qingcang City, he traveled alone to the hinterland of the west region.
He finally saw that inconspicuous mountain.
And at this time, a monk nicknamed Useless Yi Ye went down to Guangling and found Cao Zhangqing who was on a Western Chu ship. The monk was floating on a reed leaf on the river with his hands clasped together. He raised his head and looked at the green robe, asking Cao Zhangqing to put down an item and pick up an item.
Cao Changqing did not speak. He only shook his head.
Cao Changqing could not let go of Da Chu. Cao Changqing could not pick up the Central Plains.
The monk from Mount Lantuo, whose real name was Liu Songtao, asked, "Even I can let go. Why can't you?"
Cao Changqing smiled. "You have never picked up the things that I can't let go of. How can you let go of them?"
Useless monk lowered his head and chanted a Buddhist proclamation.
Cao Changqing looked up at the distant capital of Da Chu.
He said that he could not let go of Da Chu.
He could not let go of the capital, the imperial palace, the pavilion, or the chessboard.
Actually, it was just that he could not let go of her, who was watching the chessboard with a smile.
On this day, Useless monk died in battle on Guangling River.
On this day, seawater poured into Guangling River.
The Confucian Sage Cao Changqing's domineering ways were known to all.
When Hsu Fengnian climbed the mountain, bells suddenly rang all over the mountain.
Hsu Fengnian sensed the melodious sounds of the bells. He stopped halfway up Mount Lantuo and looked to the east, lost in thought.
Hsu Fengnian slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head to put his palms together.
He hoped that Beiliang would not be sad.

After Hsu Fengnian and the others left, Chen Zhibao gently picked up his teacup and remained silent.
Xie Guanying stood up and could not help but laugh and scold, "This guy is indeed Li Yishan's disciple. He's so stubborn. He even turned around and scolded me. However, I don't know if he listened. Hsu Fengnian's realm is like water without a source. Apart from the west, he'll have enemies on three fronts from today onwards. It's even more so for Beiliang. "
Chen Zhibao smiled, "Anyway, we didn't ask for anything on this trip to Lingzhou. I just want to take one last look at Beiliang, which is still peaceful. Are you … Is it because the father-in-law pinches his nose and suppresses his anger to look at the son-in-law? "
Xie Guanying mocked himself, "I only have a son. How can I be a son-in-law?"
Chen Zhibao's smile grew wider. He was actually joking, "Are you trying to make things difficult for the mother-in-law's attitude towards her daughter-in-law?"
Xie Guanying sighed and changed the topic. He said gloomily, "If the situation gives me half a year, just half a year, then you …"
Chen Zhibao shook his head, "Don't talk about half a year on the battlefield. An hour or even a quarter of an hour can decide the outcome of a battle."
Xie Guanying sat back down on his stool and asked curiously, "You really don't have anything you want to tell Hsu Fengnian?"
Chen Zhibao said indifferently, "Something I want to tell him? Yes, I just don't want to say it. "
Xie Guanying could understand why this white-clothed man's words seemed to contradict themselves.
Xie Guanying rested his elbows on the table and leaned his body, appearing more leisurely and comfortable. "That fellow's words hit the nail on the head. The world's affairs are the most difficult to go according to one's wishes. For example, if Hsu Fengnian was an embroidered pillow like before and Beiliang followed your surname, Chen, he wouldn't have so much trouble if he had obediently become a puppet vassal king. If Hsu Fengnian was not only the world's number one martial artist, but also possessed Chen Zhibao's military strategy and was the world's number one commander, then I would have gone straight to Mount Qingliang instead of Shu. "
Chen Zhibao and Beiliang's Xu family seemed to have tied a dead knot.
As Hsu Fengnian's achievements increased, it became harder to resolve.
