Xu Fengnian was amused. He smiled and said, "That's not true. It's Qi Yanglong, that old fox, who doesn't respect his elders, who thick-skinned asked me not to be too ruthless. He promised that before autumn next year, there would be at least one million dans of grain to cool down. As for the five hundred thousand dans, I suppose the head of the Hall of Secretaries wanted to save some face for the imperial court. In any case, when the time comes, I will definitely bring tens of thousands of Beiliang cavalry to charge into Guangling Road. After thinking about it, I decided not to go too far, so I agreed. Now that I think about it, I have let him down. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely apologize in person. "
The proprietress was dumbfounded. After a long silence, she finally scolded with a smile, "How shameless... but Aunt Hong likes it!"
Chen Yu's heart trembled.
Tens of thousands of Beiliang cavalry charging into Guangling Road? What did this mean?
Xu Fengnian glanced at Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying's unconstrained chess moves and shouted, "Play here, play here." He then took out a chess piece from Jia Jiajia's mink hat and helped to place it. When he saw Xu Ying's resentful gaze, he quickly repeated, "Play here, play here," and also helped to place the chess piece.
Chen Yu stared with wide eyes, somewhat dazed.
It was clearly two lines of "You don't care about me, I don't care about you". Could this be considered a chess player?
While Hsu Fengnian was playing chess, he took the time to smile and say, "Aunt Hong, don't be angry about the matter of the Imperial Astronomer. It's not good to be angry, it's easy to get wrinkles. Aunt Hong is still young. If you go out with me and I call her sister, the passersby will think that I'm old. They might even beat me up with righteous indignation."
Aunt Hong smiled and rubbed the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes. She nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, that is true."
Chen Yu quietly took a deep breath.
Aunt Hong suddenly laughed softly, "Fengnian, am I your Aunt Hong?"
Hsu Fengnian acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He immediately got up and ran behind the woman, carefully massaging her shoulders, "Aunt Hong, is something the matter? Truth be told, don't look at how lively I am right now, I'm just pretending to be fine for the imperial court to see. After all, I'm in the capital, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Once I'm exposed, I'll be in danger! Right now, it's very difficult for me to even walk. It's just that I don't want Aunt Hong to worry … "
Aunt Hong shouted to the man standing at the entrance of the courtyard, "Xu Yanbing, your Prince said that he can't walk anymore. I want to invite him to the Jiu Jiu Embassy. Why don't you carry our Prince to the carriage?"
Xu Yanbing smiled and said, "This …"
Hsu Fengnian hurriedly signaled with his eyes.
But Xu Yanbing still said straightforwardly, "No problem."
Who was the one who said 'what a fast gun' at the entrance of the Imperial Astronomer?
Hsu Fengnian said with a sullen face, "Aunt Hong, are you really not afraid of causing trouble? I'll be leaving the capital the day after tomorrow. When that time comes, do you still want to continue operating the Jiu Jiu Embassy?"
Aunt Hong suddenly stood up and pulled Hsu Fengnian towards the entrance of the courtyard. The helpless King of Beiliang turned his head and said to the women who were playing chess, "I'll bring you delicious food when I come back."
When the group of people walked out of the Weiwei Embassy and towards the small carriage, even Aunt Hong and Chen Yu could hear countless screams from the distant streets.
Some of the cries were heart-wrenching and could be sung and wept.
Hsu Fengnian, who originally wanted to ride a horse to the Jiu Jiu Embassy with Xu Yanbing, immediately lost the idea. Then, he heard Aunt Hong say with a smile, "Look, how can the Jiu Jiu Embassy's business not be popular in the future? When the time comes, Aunt Hong will charge 100 taels of silver for the seats you sat on. Whoever offers the highest price can sit on them. Moreover, you can only sit for an hour! How about it? "
Hsu Fengnian smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Hong, I suddenly feel a little unwell. Tomorrow! I'll definitely go to the Jiu Jiu Embassy to look for Aunt Hong tomorrow! "
Aunt Hong glared fiercely at him. Without any explanation, she pulled him into the carriage. Xu Yanbing rode a horse and escorted them. Looking at the maddened women crowding at the window, many of them had even rushed to the streets, Xu Yanbing felt that the road ahead was so bumpy.
Aunt Hong and Chen Yu sat side by side. Hsu Fengnian sat timidly in the opposite corner.
Aunt Hong joked, "Fengnian, have you not thought of picking a few beautiful wives to bring back to Beiliang?"
Chen Yu turned her head and looked at the curtain.
Hsu Fengnian said with a headache, "Aunt Hong, please spare me."
On the main street of the Weiwei Embassy, the carriage moved like a tortoise. Outside the window, there were voices calling out "Brother Xu".
Hsu Fengnian touched his forehead. This time, there was really cold sweat.
Aunt Hong suddenly asked, "The two large formations of the Imperial Astronomer have been destroyed?"
Xu Fengnian didn't know how Aunt Hong got to know about this secret. He nodded and said, "More than half of it was destroyed because Duke Yansheng gave me something that preserved the vital qi of Li Yang and didn't let Xie Guanying have his way. However, the one surnamed Xie did not have it easy either. That broken bowl was destroyed by me, and then Đồng Thái targeted it. That sword probably made Xie Guanying run all the way to the south of Guangling River. All in all, the energy of Li Yang still exists, but there are changes. If there are no accidents, the leader of the Qi cultivators of the Northern Lands has already told that young emperor. The strangest thing about me is this. He actually did not denounce me for this. Maybe Xie Guanying is behind this again. At the time, I did not expect that … bull rider to come to Great Peace City. I planned to use the chance that the first generation ancestral master of Longhu Mountain thought he could return to the Gate of Heaven to charge through the Gate of Heaven and kill more immortals. So I did not chase after Xie Guanying. If I had known earlier, I would have chased after him for a few hundred li. "
Aunt Hong sighed and said, "Such a big heart, just like your father."
Hsu Fengnian grinned.
Sensing that Chen Yu was staring at him, Hsu Fengnian joked, "What, Miss Chen does not recognize the beggar who led the horse a few years ago?"
Chen Yu said honestly, "I do not recognize him."
When they arrived at the Jiujiu Embassy, they found that for the first time, it was deserted. Aunt Hong smiled and said, "We closed at noon, not willing to serve that group of masters. Today, Auntie Hong will make an exception and cook for you personally. "
After unlocking the door and entering, Aunt Hong quickly closed the door. Hsu Fengnian suddenly saw a woman with a black hat standing not far away.
Hsu Fengnian stilled and quickly walked in front of her. He said softly, "Aunt, why have you come? Even though Zhao Gou is in a terrible state and cannot attend to many places, it is inevitable that there will be people watching the Jiujiu Embassy."
The woman took off her black hat, her face still covered by armor.
She was Wu Su's sword attendant back then, Zhao Yutai.
Hsu Fengnian met her at the Qingcheng Mountain's Qingyang Palace during his second tour of the Jianghu.
She had personally handed the red sandalwood sword case that contained the Great Liang's Dragon Sparrow Sword to Hsu Fengnian.
Her voice was hoarse as she said, "I shouldn't have let you come, but Aunt just wants to see you."
Hsu Fengnian said with a childish expression, "I can go to the Imperial Astronomer whenever I want to. Even if Aunt wants to see me in the palace, I can still go there!"
Aunt Hong smiled and said, "Alright, aren't you tired? Sit down and talk. I'll go to the kitchen and wait for an hour. You two can have a good chat."
Chen Yu wanted to help, but she was pushed back from the curtain by Aunt Hong. Chen Yu could only choose a bench and sit down quietly.
Zhao Yutai was just about to talk about the puppet Wu Lingsu when Hsu Fengnian said happily, "Aunt, when are you going back to Beiliang? Now that Huang Man 'er has grown up, Aunt, let me tell you a secret. There's a Beimang woman who really has good taste. She took a liking to Huang Man' er at first glance and shamelessly wants to be Huang Man 'er's wife. She can't be stopped or beaten away. Heh, her status isn't simple either. Of course, I don't have any prejudice against her, but I'm happy for Huang Man' er. As Huang Man 'er's older brother, of course I can't be too polite to her when we meet. Otherwise, what if Huang Man' er can't control her in the future, right? So I purposely put on a stern face and picked on her, scaring that woman into a daze. Haha, that feeling was really good. It made me secretly happy … Second Sister also misses you, Aunt. If I can bring Aunt back this time, she'll definitely be overjoyed … "
Listening to his long-winded chatter, Zhao Yutai took off the brass mask that had covered her face for more than 20 years, revealing her hideous and hideous face. But she didn't care, and neither did he.
When Aunt Hong shouted that the dishes were served from behind the curtain, Zhao Yutai said softly, "Aunt, you still have to keep an eye on the Wu father and son. That pair of father and son are the kind of people who don't know when to stop. We can't let all our efforts go to waste."
Hsu Fengnian shook his head, his eyes resolute. "Aunt, come home with me. Don't worry about them. Beiliang doesn't need these schemes anymore. "
Zhao Yutai also shook her head. "After so many years of planning, it's a pity to give up now."
Hsu Fengnian smiled brightly. "Aunt, when I officially get married, what will I do if there's no one at home?"
Aunt Hong, who was holding a plate with one hand and lifting the curtain with the other, burst into tears when she heard this.
