Hsu Fengnian looked into Jiang Ni's eyes and asked softly, "It is said that most of the civil officials in the West Chu Imperial Court have suggested Song Maolin and you …"
Jiang Ni once again interrupted Xu Fengnian's words. Her expression was normal and her tone was calm as if she was talking about a small matter that had nothing to do with her. "Previously, there was someone who suggested Kou Jianghuai, followed by Xie Xibian, and then Song Maolin."
Hsu Fengnian's face was gloomy. He asked in a deep voice, "What is Cao Changqing doing? If he is too busy to take care of you, Princess Da Chu, then I didn't see him fight all the way to Great Peace City. If he is very free, then can't he control a few mouths in the Imperial Court? How can he restore his country like this? "
Jiang Ni shook her head and said, "Uncle Cao is already very good."
Hsu Fengnian wanted to say something but stopped.
Jiang Ni gently exhaled and looked at the dim street in the distance. "What do you say? Should we take the initiative to fight or wait for them to come to us? "
Xu Fengnian instantly returned to his sloppy self. "It wasn't easy for me to accumulate such an imposing aura, but you kicked it away. Then let's wait. Snow Lotus City is neither big nor small. We still have about two hours. "
Jiang Ni asked doubtfully, "Don't leave? Anyway, we have been running all the way. We don't care about this time, right? "
Hsu Fengnian did not say anything. He turned and walked back into the alley. Jiang Ni silently followed behind him. Ma Jiabao's daughter, Ma Shigong, and the poor youth, Hong Shuzhi, were still there. The swordsman from the Central Plains also did not leave. Obviously, he had not given up on the snow lotus. Seeing the sword immortal "senior" and the beautiful woman with the box on her back return with complicated expressions, the middle-aged man knew that the two immortals were also here for the snow lotus. He would not be able to snatch it from them. Even if he begged, he would not be able to get it. However, when he thought of the woman who had to rely on Liaodong Ginseng to survive every month, the man gritted his teeth and cupped his fists to Hsu Fengnian. "Senior, can you give me the snow lotus? Junior Shao Mu is willing to exchange his life for it! "
Hsu Fengnian was stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said, "I must have this Snow Lotus. There's nothing to discuss."
Shao Mu's expression was sorrowful. After closing his eyes, he suddenly opened them and said resolutely, "Then I can only ask Senior for advice!"
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand and smiled, "Why don't you wait for a night? If I'm still in the city at dawn, you can exchange your life for the snow lotus in Liu Huaixi's mansion. If I'm already out of the city, you can do business with that kid again. You're just helping him go to Ma Family Fort. With your strength as a level two master, it shouldn't be difficult for you to take over a private fort."
A young girl with a strange name plucked up her courage and retorted, "Our Ma Family Fort's guard instructor is known as Iron Spear Wei in the martial world. He has a reed leaf spear made of refined iron and is twelve feet long. Just the tip of the spear is one foot and three inches long. It is very powerful! I once saw Instructor Wei pierce through three iron armors with his spear! Besides, our Ma Family Fort also has a cavalry army that comes and goes like the wind! Even General Liu's mansion in Snow Lotus City doesn't dare to underestimate our Ma Family Fort! "
Shao Mu laughed it off.
On the other hand, Hsu Fengnian squatted on the stairs beside Shao Mu and said with a smile, "It sounds like your family is very strong. Let me ask you a question. Are your ancestors local or migrated from the central plains?"
The young girl carefully said, "Why are you asking this?"
Hsu Fengnian saw that she didn't want to answer, so he didn't ask anymore. He began to concentrate and rest.
Shao Mu hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, do you really want to compete with Tuoba Bodhisattva of Beimang?"
Hsu Fengnian nodded.
Even Shao Mu, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, was speechless.
Since he was able to fight with Beimang's military god, he should at least be a level one Mysterious Finger. He might even be able to touch the legendary threshold of Celestial State, right?
Jiang Ni didn't want to see this guy pretending to be profound, so he snorted and said, "Has the fight been going on for more than half a month? The winner hasn't been decided yet! "
Shao Mu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He swallowed his saliva.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and didn't say anything.
Although Shao Mu had stayed in Snow Lotus City, which was far away from the central plains, he couldn't figure out who had such a great ability. Was he blind? Was the senior sitting beside him the Peach Blossom Sword God Đồng Thái? Otherwise, among the experts who used the sword, Song Nianqing of the Sword Pool and the number one swordsman in the southeast, Chai Qingshan, were both old men. Tangxi Sword Goddess Lu Baijie didn't have such ability. Their ages didn't match. While Shao Mu was rushing to Snow Lotus City from the central plains, he heard that Wu Liuding, the sword crown of the Wu family's sword tomb, was traveling with a female sword servant. The old man who died under the sword of the "senior" also guessed the same and mentioned the sword nurturing and the flying sword. However, Shao Mu didn't think that Wu Liuding could reach the level of fighting with Tuoba Bodhisattva for more than half a month in just a few years. No matter how amazing a martial arts genius was, it wasn't difficult for him to reach the first level without many life-threatening battles and the "feeding" of many top grandmasters. However, it was still difficult for him to reach the level of one of the top ten martial artists.
An hour later, the girl was sleepy and the boy forced his eyelids open. Hsu Fengnian raised his arm and the Six-year Phoenix fell from the night sky. Hsu Fengnian took out the secret letter in the slender bamboo tube and felt relieved.
Jiang Ni looked at him inquiringly.
Hsu Fengnian said happily, "Xu Yanbing left everyone behind and killed his way to Snow Lotus City alone. He can enter the city in an hour at most."
Jiang Ni said, "Then I'll wait for an hour."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "No need. Since Xu Yanbing arrived earlier than I expected, you can return to Guangling Road without worry."
Then Hsu Fengnian turned his head and said to the boy and Shao Mu, "Hong Shuzhi, go and get that Snow Lotus. I'll help you fulfill your wish. Shao Mu, I'll be able to get Liu Huaixi's Snow Lotus for you by tomorrow morning at the latest. Remember to rush to Beiliang immediately after you deliver the Snow Lotus. You can protect your name in any of the relay stations in Youzhou or Lingzhou. Someone will bring you to me when the time comes. In short, I'll take your life. "
The boy was half excited and half nervous. He blushed and asked, "Really?"
Hsu Fengnian gently waved his arm and made the gyrfalcon return to the night sky. He nodded and said, "You've seen how good my swordsmanship is with your own eyes."
The boy jumped up and down happily. He hurriedly went into the house and took out an iron box. The box was filled with ice and the Snow Lotus was wrapped in ice. Hsu Fengnian took the box and handed it to the puzzled Jiang Ni. "This is for you."
Hsu Fengnian pointed at the wound on her neck and then at his cheek. He said with a smile, "Snow Lotus is probably the best thing for a girl to maintain her beauty."
Without giving Jiang Ni a chance to refuse, Hsu Fengnian looked at her and said calmly, "Also, pass a message to Cao Changqing. Tell him not to worry. There are some places that the Beiliang cavalry are familiar with."
Hsu Fengnian blinked. "If you don't mind passing a message for me, please tell that pretty boy surnamed Song that I'll beat him up until his parents can't recognize him."
Jiang Ni hugged the box and didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian said with a smile, "It's only an hour. I actually need to fight Tuoba Bodhisattva and Li Mibi alone. I want Tuoba Bodhisattva's state of mind to be completely damaged so that I'll have a better chance of winning the next time we fight. Don't worry. Once the situation turns bad, it'll be easy for me to run away. I've been recuperating all this time. It's enough for me to play cat and mouse with them for an hour. "
Jiang Ni was still silent.
Hsu Fengnian joked, "What, you don't want to leave?"
Jiang Ni spat.
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand. "Go, go."
Jiang Ni's expression was stiff and cold. She turned around and the Great Liang Dragon Sparrow flew out of the red sandalwood sword box and floated in front of her. She gently jumped on it and disappeared like a rainbow in an instant.
Shao Mu was dumbfounded once again.
Another goddamn Sword Immortal?!
When did the streets of Liyang become so full of sword immortals?
The young man grinned at the girl. "I told you, she's really a fairy sister!"
The girl stepped on the back of the young man's foot. The young man stood on one leg and bared his teeth.
About half an hour later, the girl looked at the man standing on the steps and looking in the direction where the fairy disappeared. She asked softly, "You lied to her, didn't you?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and turned to Shao Mu. "Take the two children to the Snow Lotus Parlor and tell them that I promised to give you a stalk of snow lotus. Madam Song will help you ask Liu Huaixi for it at all costs. Then, let the Snow Lotus Parlor settle them down. Let's go through the back door. "
When Shao Mu left with the boy and girl, they vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distant alley.
