Hsu Fengnian shook his head. "That's not important. I can guarantee that the Sima family will continue to be one of the great families in the inner city. As long as you work with that old scholar, not only will you be able to struggle at death's door under the Dong family's nose, but you will also be able to squeeze out the Dong family. If you want people, I can give you people that are not inferior to those on the inner city's expert list. As long as you dare to ask, I can give you a lot. If you want armor, crossbows, spears, I can give them all to you. As for my request, it's very simple. The Sima family must have a cavalry of no less than five thousand people in this city. When they are willing to put their heads on their belts to fight for riches and honor, when there is hope for riches and honor, you must make them believe that your words are not empty words … "
Hsu Fengnian paused for a long time. "Whether or not I will be able to see these things in the future, Madam Chai, you can rest assured. When you find that old scholar surnamed Liu, you can tell him that I told you that his name is Liu Wenbao, Xiama Wei Post House, Old Locust Tree. He will naturally believe you and will do his best to cooperate with you in the future. However, I will also say the ugly words first. If you and the Sima family don't keep your promise and become cowards when it's time for you to fight for your lives, or if someone comes to you in the future to give you more benefits, then please remember that whatever I can give to the Sima family tonight, I will take it back in double whether or not I appear in the future. Your Western Regions are messing around in this small piece of land. What inner city, what outer city, what experts, what three great families, there will be a day when you will understand that they are really nothing. "
Madam Chai smiled sweetly and nodded. "That's right. In the eyes of the great King of Beiliang, other than Beimang's million-strong army, there is nothing else important. Other than the Emperor of Li Yang and the Empress of Beimang, there is no one else important, right? "
Hsu Fengnian was surprised. "You guessed it?"
She was silent for a moment, then smiled. "I was just making things up. Your Highness must only be so easily tricked in front of insignificant women, right? "
Hsu Fengnian didn't deny anything. He couldn't help but laugh. "It's not good to hold grudges."
It was Madam Chai's turn to be stunned. "Are you really the King of Beiliang?"
Hsu Fengnian joked back, "What? You're too easy to talk to. You don't look like a Border King with authority? Or is it that he can sit on a small stool and chat with Madam for half a day? No matter how I look at him, he doesn't look like an expert? "
Madame Chai blinked her eyes. "Didn't they say that His Highness is extremely handsome? There are quite a few well-informed young girls in the inner city who are extremely curious about the prince. There are also a few in our Sima Family who used to practice the sword, but when they heard that the prince started out by practicing the saber, they foolishly went to practice the saber. I've been nagging about His Highness's name all day. Even my ears are about to grow calluses. "
Hsu Fengnian was speechless. He stretched out a finger and tapped the space between his eyebrows. He smiled bitterly. "Women!"
Madam Chai looked at the distant family members who had survived the turmoil and calmly said, "There's a girl called Sima Bishui. She vowed that she would go to Beiliang to find that guy called Hsu Fengnian if she could one day master a peerless saber technique. Even if she couldn't become his wife, she could become his confidante. Many people made fun of her, but she didn't have any talent. She just buried herself in practicing the saber. "
Hsu Fengnian softly said, "And then she died."
She nodded and said in a calm voice, "That's right. She couldn't kill anyone and didn't want to be humiliated, so she killed herself with a saber. She stabbed her abdomen and didn't lightly slit her neck. If she had died in the latter way, those men wouldn't have let her off. In our Western Regions, such simple fools, especially women, don't live long. Even if they're lucky enough to survive, they won't live happily. "
Hsu Fengnian followed her line of sight and looked at the group of people who were laughing and talking without worry. He sighed with emotion. "There'll be a day when the world will be peaceful. When that time comes, your Western Regions will also be filled with the sound of books. Children won't be thinking about how to survive every day. Instead, they'll be thinking about how to study hard and obtain scholarly honors. In the future, there'll also be willow trees and men and women who will meet at dusk. Young people will do what they should have done when they were young. In the future, there'll be rattan chairs for old people to lie on and bask in the sun. They'll slowly recall the heroic deeds they were proud of and the things they regretted. When their lives come to an end, they'll be able to peacefully pass on their unfulfilled wishes to their children and grandchildren … "
Madam Chai gently shook her head with a smile. It was as if she couldn't believe that the soil under her feet was soaked with blood and that such a beautiful scene of paradise would one day appear.
However, she subconsciously reached out to stroke a strand of messy black hair and gently tucked it behind her ear.
However, she suddenly straightened her body and tightly gripped the horn bow by her feet. In front of her sharp eyes, there seemed to be traces of ripples as thin as strands of hair.
In the distance, there was a muffled and oppressive sound.
The three experts in the inner city looked around in panic. In the end, they could only see the scene closest to them. It was a large tree with dense branches and leaves. A corpse wearing tight black clothes fell from the tree. It must be known that there were three large lanterns hanging on the tree. It was obvious that the people in the Sima Family didn't find any trace of this person from beginning to end. However, what really made the three experts in the inner city feel their hands and feet go cold was that they simply couldn't see the young man sitting on the small bench. He looked harmless and gentle, but when he killed people, he didn't leave a trace. A great master. He was definitely a great master that even the top three experts in the inner city, Dong Tieling, paled in comparison.
Because Madam Chai was close to the water, and because she was an expert in the inner city who was ranked just below Dong Tieling, she could barely see the mysterious ripples.
She roughly knew that in the Li Yang River Lake, the Martial Man Realm was divided into nine levels. The second level was considered to be a great master in the Central Plains. She barely stood on the threshold of the second level and saw a bit of the spectacular scene in the inner city. She used to think that if she could put down her family's affairs and focus on martial arts, then it would be easy for her to become one of the top three experts in the inner city. She might even be able to compete with the legendary first level experts in the Li Yang River Lake. As for the previous ten people in the martial arts evaluation and the recent fourteen people in the martial arts evaluation and the four great masters, she didn't have any idea what they were. She only knew that they were very strong. It was like looking at a mountain from afar. You know that the mountain peak was very high, but you can't imagine how high it was until you get close. Then, the young man beside her, whose identity she was still doubtful about, opened the door to the first level for her in a slightly stingy and obscure way. Then, she suddenly realized that in the eyes of the small group of true martial arts masters, the first level experts who considered themselves to be extraordinary, were no different from ants. Then, even the children of the Sima family could see a strange scene. From the shadows in the distance, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared, running as fast as thunder with an aggressive aura. They thought that it was an expert from the Dong family who came to kill people in broad daylight, and that it might even be the infamous Dong Tieling himself. But soon, everyone was confused. The expert with a very strong figure did not seem to be here to cause trouble, but was pushed here by someone. He seemed to be avoiding something invisible, except for the period when he was constantly approaching the thatched cottage. At the same time, his footsteps were disorderly, and he flapped around in all directions. He was in a very sorry state. Obviously, no one was fighting with him, but he made a few dazzling front, back, and side somersaults. In short, there were all kinds of somersaults. He was originally a very strong expert, but in the end, he was reduced to a sideshow in the eyes of the children of the Sima family. When he was about 30 steps away from the thatched cottage, he finally stopped to catch his breath. At this time, Madam Chai finally saw the old man. He was actually the God of Wealth Li family's most honorable consecrator. At this time, his clothes were ragged, as if they had been cut into pieces bit by bit by a sharp weapon, dripping with blood.
He glared at the young man sitting on the stool and said in a hoarse voice: "Đồng Thái's Nurturing Sword and Controlling Sword, I finally know who you are."
Xu Fengnian looked at Zhao Gou, one of the founding members of Li Yang. "The only reason you're still alive is because you had a colleague in Azure City. Before he died, he said a few words, which was equivalent to him dying in your place. You can go now, but remember to tell Li Feng Mao not to compete with the Sima Family in the future. As for your plans in the Western Regions, they have been following the rules these past few years, so I can pretend that I didn't see them. "
The thin elder roared and rushed forward, causing the dust under his feet to fly up. The tip of his foot created a hole in the ground, but the elder quickly stopped. Madam Chai squinted her eyes and saw a "flying sword" that was less than an inch long, hovering in front of the elder's forehead.
The sword's body was dark green, sparkling and translucent. It was a beautiful little sword that could make people feel happy.
Madam Chai's lips curled up slightly as she thought of a certain person's sigh.
Women.
The old man, who could cover the sky with one hand in this city, glanced at the young man who was mostly covered in skin. He snorted coldly and retreated. He leaped onto a branch and quickly disappeared into the ink-black night.
Hsu Fengnian's mind moved, and he put away the flying swords into his sleeve. He then pointed at the thirty years old man who had pulled out his sword and asked with a smile: "What's his name? How long has it been since he joined the Sima Family?"
Madam Chai's mind was very sharp, and immediately a haze appeared in her heart. She looked sadly at the man who she had high hopes for. "He's the youngest person on the inner city's expert list. He's known as an assassin who's better than the Dong Family's assassins. He's been working for the Sima Family since his father's generation. It's probably because a man's heart is not content, or because he doesn't want his descendants to be someone else's servant."
Madam Chai, who was sitting on the stool with Hsu Fengnian, said coldly: "Isn't that right, Tao Disong?"
