Of course, Hsu Fengnian did not have the face to let a girl serve him. When he closed the door and took off his robe alone, he was somewhat puzzled. Why was it that the older he got, the thinner his skin became? After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Hsu Fengnian, who had finished bandaging his wound, opened the door again. The girl blinked her big eyes and did not speak. Hsu Fengnian rubbed her head and said softly, "Little girl, thank you. If you can wait until Beiliang is not at war, then you can come here to travel Jianghu. The scenery outside the Great Pass, although it is not as lush as the trees in Jiangnan of the Central Plains, is also very beautiful."
The girl's eyes were somewhat resentful. The way he rubbed her hair was too much like a kind elder.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly clasped his fist and smiled. He imitated the children of Jianghu and said loudly, "The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever. We will meet again someday!"
The white-clothed girl was startled, and then she couldn't stop laughing. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hide it, and she couldn't be reserved.
Xu Fengnian left in large strides. When he reached the outside of the restaurant, Luo Hongcai was already waiting at the door with his horse. Beside him stood the Imperial Cavalry Commandant Fan Xiangda, whose hands and feet were bound. There was also the Imperial Cavalry Commander Tao Niuche, who had returned from Liangzhou to take up his post within the borders after being injured.
Hsu Fengnian took the reins and looked at the Platoon Leader Tao who had internal injuries and a pale face before getting on the horse. He gave him a thumbs up.
The young King rode away, leaving behind a trail of dust.
Luo Hongcai gently kicked Fan Xiangda. Before he got on the horse, he heavily patted Tao Che's shoulder and laughed. "Good job, this time you have made me proud!"
Tao Che, who was almost slapped to the ground, smiled foolishly.
Jin Cavalry Commandant Fan Xiangda was unhappy.
Tao Che turned his head and said, "Commandant Fan, pinch me. I am afraid I am dreaming."
Fan Xiangda was amused and laughed. "Dreaming in broad daylight!"
Tao Che said heroically, "Commandant Fan, today I will invite you and your brothers to drink wine together. There will be enough!"
Fan Xiangda was surprised and said, "With that little money of yours, you even sent it to your family. Can it be enough?"
Pottery Ox Cart chuckled and said, "Don't you have Commandant Fan to cushion it?"
Fan Xiangda stared blankly for a moment before sneakily putting his arm around the corporal's shoulder, "Old Brother Tao, let's discuss something. In any case, it's just the two of us and Field Officer Luo today. Field Officer Luo went to Wudang Mountain with His Highness. Let's drink tonight. Why don't you tell your brothers that His Highness gave us a thumbs up?"
Tao Niuche said in all seriousness, "Commandant Fan, borrowing money is borrowing money. It's not like I won't return it. I, Tao Niuche, am an honest man!"
Fan Xiangda sighed.
Tao Ox Cart lowered his voice and said, "If you borrow money and don't collect interest, then it's done. What do you think?"
Fan Xiangda laughed and said, "No problem! Tomorrow I will treat you to another round of wine! "
In order to take care of Tao Niuche, the two of them did not ride horses. The commandant and corporal walked side by side through the Escape Summer Town. Tao Niuche's eyes suddenly became absent-minded and he said softly, "I am one of the last group of crossbowmen that Governor Hu brought out. It's a bit late. Us field officers like to brag that they've seen the Great General with their own eyes. During those years outside the pass, I was so envious. Commandant Fan, after His Highness leads us to defeat the Beimang barbarians, can we also tell the younger guys that we've seen His Highness with our own eyes back in the day? He's only two or three steps away?! "
Fan Xiangda nodded and said in a low voice, "There will be such a day!"

When Hsu Fengnian and Luo Hongcai went up the mountain, Yu Xingrui was also there. Hsu Fengnian asked the old Taoist for an elixir and asked Luo Hongcai to give it to the Imperial Cavalry Corporal. It was not his idea.
When Hsu Fengnian came to the front of the hut, Zhao Ningshen was sitting on a small stool. There was an empty stool next to him, and Mr. White Lotus was helping Hsu Fengnian move books to dry them.
After Hsu Fengnian sat down, Zhao Ningshen, who was also a Taoist master of Mount Longhu like his uncle Zhao Danping, said flatly, "If His Highness wants to punish me, I will not fight back."
Hsu Fengnian sneered and said, "Not fight back? What can you do even if you fight back? "
Zhao Ningshen looked into the distance and said, "I am willing to cultivate on Mount Wudang for ten years."
Hsu Fengnian glanced at the busy Mr. White Lotus and said with a smile, "What? In order to let Mr. White Lotus go down the mountain safely, you are willing to give up the reputation of the Taoist Master Mansion?"
Bai Yu slowly got up, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and walked to Hsu Fengnian. He squatted beside the two and looked at the King of Beiliang with squinted eyes. He said with a smile, "My Highness, let Zhao Ningshen go and I will stay. How about it?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled.
This Mr. White Lotus was obviously more tactful than Qi Jiajie and even Yin Changgeng.
Bai Yu stretched out a finger. "But I can only stay in Beiliang for one year. I will do my best in this one year."
Hsu Fengnian stretched out a hand. "Five years!"
Mr. White Lotus shook his head. "That is unreasonable. One and a half years. One and a half years at most! "
Hsu Fengnian sneered. "Four years. Just four years. I will give you face. Don't say one year less. One day less and there is no room for negotiation. "
Mr. White Lotus still shook his head. "Four years? The Central Plains will be too late. Besides, Beiliang doesn't need me to stay for four years. My Highness is a sensible man. One and a half years is enough! The world is set! "
Hsu Fengnian withdrew two fingers. "Three years. If you bargain again, I will beat you... Oh, no, I mean Zhao Ningshen. "
Bai Yu suddenly sat down on the ground. "Then you can beat him. I can't help you anyway. I can just watch the show."
Hsu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "For Zhao Zhu's sake, two years. If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you too! "
It was unknown where this scholar got the strength from, but he stood up with lightning speed. His figure was very vigorous. Mr. White Lotus bowed and said, "Two years it is."
Hsu Fengnian quickly got up and helped Mr. White Lotus up. He said with a smile, "Mr. White Lotus, are you still not used to our Beiliang? And when will you go to Mount Qing Liang? "
Zhao Ningshen looked at the two with a blank face.
