Before the Xu family rushed to Beiliang, the wangfei had gone to the palace alone. At the time, there were more than a dozen first-level aces present, half of them from the inner court and half of them from Jianghu. This was a taboo that those who knew about it kept quiet out of fear. It was a secret that had been covered in the dust of history in a short 20 years. Hsu Fengnian knew what the old emperor was planning. If Xu Xiao did not have a son, so what if he was also the King of Beiliang? Xu Fengnian didn't even need to be reminded of such a clumsy emperor's scheme. The three hundred thousand Steel Cavalrymen would eventually become the property of the imperial family in the future. As for the hidden aces of Jianghu, most of them had their families destroyed when the Xu family rode their horses into Jianghu. Or they were the ancestors of the Ten Great Clans who wanted to avenge their country and family. They had dealt a fatal blow to Xu Xiao when he was at his peak. Was there a better way to vent their hatred?
However, they had not expected that the pregnant wangfei would go from being a sword in the mortal world to being a sword in the mortal world. When a martial artist surpassed Heavenly Phenomenon and became a swordsman on land, he could no longer be measured by common sense.
In the long run, both sides had suffered great losses in that battle. There was no winner.
The Beiliang cavalry, who had been loyal to the dynasty, had formed an irreparable gap with the court. The wangfei had fallen ill and died young.
Hsu Fengnian had a book of life and death. It recorded the names of the dozen people who had appeared in the palace that day. One-third of them had died suddenly, none of them from old age. Hsu Fengnian was already 30 years old. In the future, he would want to kill these people with his own hands. Even if he could not do it in his lifetime, it was better than doing nothing. Xu Xiao had not hesitated to become enemies with the entire Jianghu for the sake of the court's hundred years of prosperity. Hsu Fengnian wanted to flatten this Jianghu even more than Xu Xiao. There were always some things that did not need to be explained. Xu Xiao could bring him twenty years of stability. When he went out, he would be escorted by armored cavalry, and there were even death warriors in the open and in the dark. However, Xu Xiao would also grow old one day. Xu Xiao's heart was built by fighting for the country. Hsu Fengnian wanted to fight for the Xu family and take over the Beiliang cavalry. This was not a small matter. Beiliang valued military service and revered martial arts. If he really listened to his second sister Xu Weixiong and wholeheartedly took over the army, Hsu Fengnian did not have the confidence...
Xu Fengnian had been asking himself all these years, without Xu Xiao, what was he?
Hsu Fengnian subconsciously tightened his grip on his swords and exhaled a long breath.
Wang Linquan recalled the past and said with emotion, "When the Great General pacified Western Shu, Military Advisor Zhao was only 10 li away from the Imperial City of Western Shu. Unfortunately, he died of illness. The Great General led the army to break the river to comfort Military Advisor Zhao's soul in heaven. Who in Western Shu would not be afraid?! "
Hsu Fengnian said in a low voice, "The Beiliang cavalry can only fight to the death."
Wang Linquan nodded. "Only fight to the death!"
The art of war was deceitful, but Xu Xiao did the opposite. No matter how aggressive his army was, the Beiliang cavalry could only fight to the death.
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "Xu Xiao's visit to the capital to meet the Emperor will most likely create a mess in the capital."
Wang Linquan kept quiet and did not dare to speak.
Hsu Fengnian did not mind telling this old soldier some family matters that would cause a huge uproar. Wang Linquan dared to kneel and cry at the dock in front of countless eyes. If Hsu Fengnian did not even have this much magnanimity, he would not be able to take over Xu Xiao's horsewhip in the future. He did not even need to wander around Jianghu. It would be better for him to go back and hide in Beiliang Palace. He signaled Blue Bird to bring some wine and said, "Uncle Wang, we are all family. Let's not talk about being strangers. When I came to Mount Lao this time, you openly displayed the attitude of an old subordinate of Beiliang. You are destined to be targeted by many people in Qingzhou and even the imperial court. I will tell Chu Lushan to keep an eye out for you. If things really get out of hand, I will let Xu Xiao speak. I don't believe that the King of Jing 'an, Zhao Heng, who was whacked by Xu Xiao on the head with a horsewhip, will dare to offend him. As for Xu Xiao coming to the capital, I guess he is going to ask for a clear result of my hereditary succession, to ensure that in the future I will be able to wear a large yellow satin boa robe that will not lose to his court robes. "
Hereditary succession!
When Wang Linquan, who usually looked old and dim-sighted, heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. Beiliang's 300,000 cavalrymen, as well as all the old subordinates scattered across the dynasty, who would not be worried about this? The meaning of the word hereditary was clear. It meant that one would inherit one's father's title, title, salary, and land. If one did not inherit it, then it would be a question, and it would not be changed or abolished. This was because even the vassal kings of the imperial family, other than the King of Yanci and the King of Guangling who had great military achievements, were treated as special cases. According to the "Vassal Clan Law", all of them had to be inherited according to their seniority. For example, the King of Jing 'an, Zhao Heng's son, without great military achievements, could only inherit the title of a lower level prince. Once Hsu Fengnian was recognized as hereditary by the imperial court, he would still be the King of Beiliang!
This was why there was the large yellow satin boa robe.
Only the Nine and Five Supreme Sovereign and the Nine Dragons Five Claws could be considered an imperial yellow robe.
Hsu Fengnian did not mind wearing the boa robe to trample the jianghu. He just wanted to anger, scare, and beat those bastards to death.
Wang Linquan only felt satisfied. At this moment, Blue Bird brought over some good wine. The old man drank a cup and wiped his mouth with a smile. "Now, no one in Beiliang will dare to be dissatisfied!"
Hsu Fengnian drank all the wine in his cup and said self-deprecatingly, "But I only have the ability to break through six ranks with one blade. I really can't show it."
Wang Linquan said disapprovingly, "His Royal Highness is a genius. If he really wants to practice the blade, he can easily become a first-rank expert!"
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Uncle Wang, you say it so easily, but it really is not easy for me to practice the blade."
Wang Linquan only cared about smiling. He silently said "Uncle Wang" a few times in his heart. This was even more heartwarming than the wine in his stomach.
Wang Linquan suddenly said with a regretful expression, "My two sons are useless. They only know how to study. They won't be able to lead Your Highness' horse."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "It doesn't make sense."
Wang Linquan refuted His Royal Highness for the first time. He said solemnly, "Your Highness, as long as Wang Linquan is alive, the Wang family will be at your disposal. There is no greater reason in the world than this!"
Hsu Fengnian did not know how to persuade him. He raised his cup and drank the wine in the glass again. He said softly, "I just don't know if the imperial court will take away Xu Xiao's title as the 'Pillar of the Nation'."
Wang Linquan was silent.
The two drank a pot of wine. Wang Linquan respectfully knelt on the ground again before he got up and left.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head to look at the sword case.
He looked at the eighteen words.
This sword calms the injustices of the world. This sword does not let down the world.
