When Hsu Fengnian left the Jiujiu Embassy, the sky was filled with burning clouds. Looking up, it looked like a magnificent Sichuan brocade stacked together.
Beautiful scenery, famous generals, heroes, and meritorious officials.
Everything was gone.
The carriage belonged to the lady boss. Xu Yanbing abandoned the horse and became the coachman again.
Other than Hsu Fengnian, there was also a graceful woman with a veil covering her face in the carriage. Originally, Hsu Fengnian did not want to take over this hot potato, but Aunt Hong's words convinced him.
There were always some women in the world who wanted to live for themselves, but it was often difficult for them to do so. I, Aunt Hong, would not ask for other men, but with Fengnian, I will not treat you as an outsider. Take her to Beiliang. You don't have to care where she wants to go after that.
The two did not speak along the way. Chen Yu was in a daze, and Hsu Fengnian was busy regulating the Qi in his body. It was probably more strenuous than the Guangling River flood control in Liyang.
When they returned to the Demawei Embassy, Hsu Fengnian arranged for her to stay in a secluded courtyard, not too far from his. When they parted, Chen Yu stared at Hsu Fengnian with her limpid eyes before he turned to leave.
Hsu Fengnian smirked. "Didn't that Liao King Zhao Wu want to marry you as a princess? I have a grudge with him. If he is unhappy, I will be happy."
She blinked. "You want to make him a cuckold?"
Hsu Fengnian said seriously, "As long as you can beat me, that's it."
Chen Yu's lips curled up. "What a pity."
Hsu Fengnian nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes. Unfortunately, my martial arts cultivation is passable. Ordinary people can't get close to me."
Chen Yu pretended to be angry and clenched her fist.
Hsu Fengnian seemed to have remembered some of the painful past when he was traveling in Jianghu. "Heroine, don't hit my face. I have to rely on it for a living!"
Chen Yu snorted coldly, turned around nimbly, and said calmly, "You didn't have the guts to steal before, but now you don't even have the heart to steal anymore. It seems that the saying that a skilled person is bold is a lie."
When Chen Yu was far away, Xu Yanbing teased, "You can't even hold your tongue. Is it because you cultivated the Great Yellow Court of Wudang Mountain years ago?"
Hsu Fengnian sneered, "How is that possible? Do you know that in Yanzhi Prefecture of Youzhou Province... "
Xu Yanbing nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Yu Dilong said it before. Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong, Yan Wenluan, and maybe Bai Yu and Song Dongming also know about it."
Hsu Fengnian finally understood why Yan Wenluan, Chen Yunchui, and the others looked at him strangely when they passed by Xiaguang City of Youzhou Province.
Hsu Fengnian gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Dilong, you little bastard who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors. Just you wait!"
Xu Yanbing seemed to be talking to himself, "Honest words are unpleasant to the ear."
Hsu Fengnian said helplessly, "Uncle Xu, you are not honest. You are not behaving like a grandmaster while my realm is declining."
Xu Yanbing patted Hsu Fengnian's shoulder with a serious expression.
Just when Hsu Fengnian thought that the most unknown Martial Saint of the Liyang Dynasty was going to say something, Xu Yanbing said earnestly, "Your Highness, it's enough that you have the demeanor of a grandmaster. Oh right, can you ask those crazy ladies outside the post house to leave? I just want to buy a bottle of Green Ant Wine in peace."
Hsu Fengnian said firmly, "This, I really can't!"
Xu Yanbing left with a big laugh.
Hsu Fengnian thought for a while and jumped to the roof of the small courtyard. He lay down and looked at the splendid burning clouds. Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying sat on his left and right. With Hsu Fengnian between them, they stretched out their hands and played a game of fifteen, fifty, and twenty.
Just as Xu Fengnian was about to take a break and close his eyes to rest, he noticed that Deputy Ma Wei was standing uneasily at the entrance of the small courtyard. He was looking into the courtyard with his head shrunk back and his hands were holding a small pouch.
Hsu Fengnian went to him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Deputy Ma Wei looked as if he had lost his parents and cried miserably, "Your Highness, I just found out that there was no Green Ant Wine in the post house, so I wanted to go to the restaurant on the street to buy a few jars. I didn't expect that before I entered the door, I would be blocked by a group of women. They were either the daughters of the Marquis, the nieces of the Assistant Minister, or the relatives of some general. I really couldn't afford to offend them. They stuffed a lot of things into my hands. Not only did they give me a stack of letters, there were also fans, combs, hairpins, embroidered balls, jade pendants, and sachets. They even said that it was their first time using a rouge box, the first time they read a forbidden book, and even a gold-embroidered knife and hair cut with the knife. It's not that this humble one didn't want to refuse, but this group of women, in addition to the golden branches and jade leaves, there were also several heroines and fairies. Looking at their attitude, if this humble one didn't accept, they would break this humble one's hands and feet. This humble one almost didn't make it back to the Dema Wei alive. There was a young lady from some noble family who almost gave this humble one a zither to the Prince. This humble one really escaped death … "
Hsu Fengnian sighed and took the heavy pouch from the Deputy Ma Wei's hands. This' pouch 'turned out to be a woman's luxurious cloak.
When the young King turned around, the Deputy Ma Wei carefully said, "Your Highness, it seems that when I was busy, I also took a few things wrapped in a pomegranate skirt or a satin gown. Inside … there should be a woman's embroidered shoes … as well as a close-fitting tea …"
Without waiting for the King of Beiliang to come back to his senses, the Deputy Ma Wei didn't care about etiquette and ran away.
Hsu Fengnian reflexively turned his head. The girl sitting on the roof was laughing non-stop.
Hsu Fengnian calmly threw the 'pouch' full of feelings on the ground at the door. He clapped his hands and walked into the courtyard with a hand full of fragrance.
He thought to himself that the people of Ma Wei shouldn't be so stupid as to really destroy it all. In fact, it wasn't bad to have some letters and love letters to pass the time.
The next moment, Jia Jiajia left the roof and stood near the pouch. He raised his foot and looked like he was going to step on it.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and turned his head again, not looking.
When Hsu Fengnian returned to the rattan chair to lie down, he saw out of the corner of his eye that his daughter was squatting at the door. Xu Ying was also squatting at the side. The two women seemed to have found a treasure trove there, turning it over and over. It was a mess …
And for some reason, Chen Yu also came to the door, fanning the flames, giving pointers, and teaching …
Hsu Fengnian grimaced and closed his eyes.
In fact, the corners of his mouth were full of a warm smile.
When they had dinner together, Xu Yanbing drank the Green Ant Wine that the Deputy Ma Wei went through a lot of trouble to buy. He held back his laughter and used all his strength to stop himself from adding insult to injury.
Because other than Chen Yu who was still considered to be a proper decoration, Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying's heads were full of hairpins. The jewelry was so dazzling that it could blind people's eyes. There was also a lot of makeup on their faces. It was even better than the burning clouds in the evening sky today.
Chen Yu threw a charming and provocative look at the young King whose mouth was twitching.
The latter nodded and praised against his conscience, "Beautiful!"
