Hsu Fengnian turned his head to look at Yan Yan, who was holding the hilt of her saber and pointing it at him. His eyes were complicated and filled with emotion. For a moment, he was speechless. He thought of Murong Wuzhu and Murong Tonghuang, who were in a miserable situation. He also thought of the filthy Xishan Crown Prince, Su Su, and This Old Man's son, Zhao Dingxiu. Hsu Fengnian sighed and looked at a roof about half a li away from him. Dong Tieling, who could be considered an ambitious and ruthless person in the Western Regions, knew the severity of the matter, but he was unwilling to let it go. The old fox, who was extremely sensitive to danger, began to give orders to his trusted subordinates. He probably wanted to test the waters with the Dong family's killers on the roof and the Dong family's elite cavalry on the street. If it weren't for Cao Wei's cavalry, Xu Fengnian wouldn't have had much of an impression of this strategic town used by the Great Feng Emperor to show off his achievements. He only knew that in the early years, many killers and assassins from Mount Qingliang used this place as a place to rest and catch their breath. As for Xuanyuan Qingfeng saying that he wanted to torture and kill the lecherous Dong Tieling, Xu Fengnian really wasn't trying to find something to talk about. Back then, that woman hadn't been with him and Northern Liang on the surface and had indeed inadvertently mentioned this matter. However, at that time, she still had a favor to ask of him, Xu Fengnian, and she hadn't become the Wulin Alliance Chief. Perhaps at that time, even she didn't dare to believe that she would one day ascend to the Great Celestial State. His impression of this big city in the Western Regions under his feet was truly vivid. After Cao Wei's cavalry quietly went to the Western Regions, especially Liu Wenbao, who was in dire straits in Shangyin Academy and still did not dare to return to his hometown, entered the city. The Whishui Society, which used to stay in the outer city, also began to increase its infiltration. Hsu Fengnian learned some things from the spy on his desk. For example, there were a few orphans of the Later Sui royal family hidden here. However, compared to Su Su, the only child of Xishan Crown Prince, the three siblings' bloodline was much inferior. Even if the remnants of Later Sui wanted to start a rebellion, he probably would not have the face to talk about the three children. Although the Western Regions was big and Cao Wei's cavalry was not eye-catching, Hsu Fengnian and the Whishui Society still did not dare to let their guard down. In order to attract the attention of the Western Regions, Hsu Fengnian remotely controlled the Western Regions to do a series of good shows. First, he let the female Bodhisattva, who was dressed in white, return to Mount Lantuo with great fanfare. Then, he let Liu Wenbao stir up trouble in this city. He even spread the word in the Western Regions that Wang Xianzhi's disciple was going to be the king here and build another Wushuang City in the desert.
One of the Dong Family's assassins swept past the nearby eaves and slashed down without any hesitation. Hsu Fengnian did not have any intention of shocking everyone here, and he did not want to expose his strength like this. After all, he was going to stay in the city for a long time. Therefore, he started to fight with the assassin. Both sides fought very well. After all, it was not easy for him to kill the assassin with one punch. After all, the other assassins of the Dong Family were not Second Level Master like Dong Tieling. When they saw the hope of killing someone, although their intuition told them that it was not that simple, they still rushed forward. Hsu Fengnian did not reject any of them and killed them one by one. During this period of time, the Dong Family's cavalry on the street did not differentiate between friend and foe and shot at the two people on the roof. However, they were all narrowly dodged by a hair's breadth. This scene made Dong Tieling so angry that he almost spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He had seen many people pretending to be top experts, but where did this cunning bastard who was afraid that others would not know that he was an "ordinary expert" come from? After losing more than forty lives, the old man finally felt the pain. He did not want to add more feet to a snake and ruin the great plan that the young man with the surname Wang had personally set up in the western region. He clenched his teeth and gave an order. The Dong Family's men who were invincible in the battle tonight immediately retreated. The moment he turned around and rushed towards the inner city with his back facing the roof, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. The old man seemed to be able to clearly feel the young drunkard's gaze. Dong Tieling was very sure that even if this person was not a First Level expert of the younger generation in Li Yang, his cultivation level was definitely not far off.
Just when Dong Tieling thought that he was out of danger, someone beside him walked side by side and said to him in the most authentic Gusai Zhou accent, "Pass a message to the master behind you. If he still wants to play, I, Tie Mudi 'er, have learned a few new sword techniques in Beiliang."
Dong Tieling did not dare to slow down his pace. Fortunately, he did not see that person's figure in the next moment.
Yan Yan only felt a blur in front of her eyes. After blinking her eyes, the young man from the outer city, who she thought was a drunkard, was still standing in front of her without moving an inch.
Then she saw that person use his hand to wipe his face. In an instant, his face changed into a slightly stiff and old-fashioned one, like a ghost wearing human skin to travel in the world of the living at night. However, as his finger gently brushed across his face, he quickly looked like a "living person".
Yan Yan was so scared that she took a few steps back.
Hsu Fengnian had learned a little from Shu Xiu's process of making a face. Compared to Shu Xiu's two realms of Rooting and Enigmatic, it was much worse. However, it was not difficult to fool ordinary people in the night.
Hsu Fengnian did not mind revealing this little bit of his foundation in front of this woman. However, if her sister was present, Hsu Fengnian would be more careful. He smiled at her as if she had seen a ghost and said softly, "You're just going to let your sister lie on the street like a corpse? I guess you two don't have a safe place to go for the time being. So, you might as well take her back to the roof before the Dong Family sends someone to identify me. Since you've risked your life to 'save me' twice, I'll make sure you and your sister are safe before daybreak. As for what you'll do after daybreak, it's up to you whether you want to stay in the city and wait for death, or run for your lives outside the city. "
The woman carefully looked at Hsu Fengnian's shadow. It seemed that he was really not a wandering ghost. Only then did she feel relieved. She gently jumped down from the roof and carried her sister back. She sat cross-legged and gently hugged her sister. Slowly, she could not help but bite her lips and sob. Her eyes were originally watery, but at this moment, they were even more misty. She not only felt resentment and pain from being betrayed by her close relatives, but also pity and misery for her relatives.
Suddenly, she noticed that the strange person was sitting not far away from her, gently sipping his wine.
Then, on the street directly facing this restaurant, under the clear moonlight, she saw seven or eight extremely valiant squires appear in the distance. They were guarding a young man in brocade clothes and a marten coat like stars surrounding the moon.
Yan Yan was furious. She wanted to jump down and kill the devil who caused her sister to fall into the abyss. Compared to the "drunkard" who changed his face, the person on the street was more like a malicious ghost in human skin.
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "Lend me your sword."
Without waiting for Yan Yan to answer, her sister's sword flew out of its sheath and into the man's hand. He placed the sword across his knees.
The man on the street stopped his horse 200 steps away. He raised his head and asked loudly, "Tie Mu Dui 'er, may I ask what happened to that Mr. Le Fu?"
Hsu Fengnian did not say anything. He gently grasped the sword hilt.
The wind blew across the border town, and the whimpering of the horns sounded.
The man snorted coldly, turned his horse around, and left.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the gradually disappearing figures. He was somewhat surprised. He did not expect to meet an acquaintance here.
This was precisely the extravagant youth from Northern Mang who casually gave away a Six Snake Wall Wandering Jade Pendant, the young talent of the Go Sword School, Wang Weixue. However, his other identity was even more worth pondering. He was the only son of Northern Mang's Aquarius Province's Magistrate Wang Yong. This guy actually came to the Western Regions to stir up trouble? Xu Fengnian's face darkened. If it was said that Wang Weixue was worried about the safety of the seniors from the Chess Sword and Music School, or that he wanted to obtain some unorthodox achievements in the Battle of Liang Mang, that was why he stirred up trouble in this city, Xu Fengnian wasn't worried about anything. However, if it was said that Northern Mang's spies had inadvertently discovered traces of Cao Wei's cavalry, then Xu Fengnian could only go against his agreement with Tantai Pingjing.
Hsu Fengnian stretched out his finger and touched the sword. The sword flew back to the sheath beside Yan Yan. He asked softly, "He is the person your sister likes? When did he come to the city? "
Yan Yan steadied her mind and tried to make her tone as calm as possible. "The first time I saw him was last spring. As for when he entered the city, I don't know."
Xu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief. Things had not reached the worst point. At that time, Cao Wei's cavalry had yet to set out for the western regions. As for whether Wang Weixue, the second generation of the Northern Mang with an extremely thick thigh, had sensed the cavalry's movements, he should have also come for the western region's monk soldiers. Xu Fengnian was no stranger to Mount Lantuo. It was normal for mountains to stand in great numbers there. However, among those withered old monks who had spoken in front of him at that time, there were a few who did not seem to have a Buddhist aura. Instead, they were rather angry. Hsu Fengnian could personally go to the mountain to draw a big pie for the Western Regions. Naturally, Beimang could foresee this and secretly undermine him. They could even draw an even bigger pie for Mount Lantuo. Who didn't know how to raise the price? As long as he could make Beiliang suffer, Beimang would probably be happy to let Mount Lantuo wait for the best price. At worst, he could just let this matter drag on. For Beimang, there would be no loss.
Otherwise, he could kill Wang Weixue while he was at it and use the excuse of borrowing troops from Mount Lantuo to uproot the Dong family. At worst, he could just follow Tuoba Bodhisattva, who had smelled the fishy smell, and have a thousand-mile battle in the Western Regions.
Hsu Fengnian closed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons.
Yan Yan was silent for a long time. Finally, she asked, "Young Master, are you from the Central Plains?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "My ancestral home is Jinzhou, Liaodong. I am not from the Central Plains."
