They finally made it through this dinner. The small courtyard in the night was quiet and serene.
Chen Yu lay on a rattan chair. Hsu Fengnian and Xu Yanbing sat on a small stool at the top of the steps, each holding a jug of wine.
Xu Ying was spinning and dancing, and Jia Jiajia was spinning in circles around her.
Xu Yanbing said emotionally, "If there is a day when the people of Beiliang can live as peacefully as the people of Great Peace City, it would be good."
Hsu Fengnian drank a mouthful of the Green Ant Wine that was not as authentic as the one in Beiliang. "It is not easy, but since we won this year, we have something to think about."
Xu Yanbing, who rarely spoke heartfelt words, took a big gulp of wine. "I am an ordinary man who only cares about the martial path. Even though I was a retainer of the Great General in the past because of my sect, I never cared about the country or the world. I always felt that if I had a pair of fists and a body of martial arts, I would either break through the Heavenly Gate and ascend one day when I was bored, or I would die by someone's hand. Death is death no matter where it is. Even if there is no one to bury this body of mine, it does not matter. Later on, I took a walk behind Qing Liang Mountain. At the time, there were not many names on the stone steles. I looked at those stone steles that were not tall and suddenly felt that I should leave my name here in the future. I did not read much, but I knew that no matter if it was official or unofficial history, no matter how many millions of words were left for later generations, no matter how many poems were written by scholars, the common people did not have a share. To leave one's name is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It is even harder than ordinary jianghu martial artists becoming great grandmasters. But we of Beiliang are different. We have three hundred thousand stone steles, and that [Record of Heroic Spirits] … "
Xu Yanbing exhaled heavily. "We of Beiliang are different!"
Hsu Fengnian had unknowingly finished his wine. He placed the flagon on his knees and folded his hands into his sleeves. He said softly, "Uncle Xu, no matter how heroic it is to die in battle, it can't compare to living well."
Xu Yanbing said with a smile, "Who doesn't die? Of course, no one wants to die if they can. But I have said before that our Beiliang is not the same, and is even more different from this Great Peace City!"
Hsu Fengnian remained silent.
Xu Yanbing turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think those hundred thousand plus border soldiers died in battle for you, Hsu Fengnian?"
Xu Yanbing spat fiercely, "Don't be cocky, you brat! Do you really think that just because there are hundreds of women outside the Beiliang who are willing to die for you, that the three hundred thousand Heavy Cavalry of Beiliang are also in love with you, Hsu Fengnian? Motherf * * * er, three hundred thousand border soldiers, those are all men who can run naked for a dozen li in the snow in the middle of winter! "
Hsu Fengnian laughed involuntarily.
Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, but then some fragmented sadness appeared in her eyes.
This was probably a conversation unique to Beiliang men.
It was like a Beiliang knife. It was not heavy, but it could cut off the heads of the three hundred thousand Beimang soldiers.
There were not many Beiliang cavalry, but they were able to build an unprecedentedly large spectacle at the mouth of the gourd.
Xu Yanbing raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. "Li Yang only has Beiliang. If we don't fight to the death, how can we live! As long as you, Hsu Fengnian, don't let them die in vain, and don't retreat from the battle alone, then you are worthy of the three hundred thousand Heavy Cavalry! "
Hsu Fengnian laughed. "Uncle Xu, these words are too hurtful. Let's not talk about other things, just the fight with Tuoba Bodhisattva, I myself think it was quite earth-shattering. If that bastard Tuoba Bodhisattva didn't have someone to help him, his head would have been lost before Yang Yuanzan's."
Jia Jiajia, who was still accompanying Xu Ying, let out a "heh".
Hsu Fengnian quickly laughed. "Next time when we fight, I'll definitely call you and let you clean up the mess."
Xu Yanbing poured the wine pot with all his might, but there was no more wine.
Xu Yanbing casually threw the wine pot high over the wall, then slowly got up and said, "Xu Yanbing has a presumptuous request."
Hsu Fengnian said, "Uncle Xu, go ahead."
Xu Yanbing said calmly, "Don't be the King of Beiliang just because you're the son of Grand General Xu Xiao. Don't stand outside the pass just because you're the King of Beiliang. "
After saying this, Xu Yanbing strode down the steps.
When Xu Yanbing reached the gate of the courtyard, Hsu Fengnian picked up the wine pot and gently tossed it to him. Xu Yanbing caught the wine pot without even raising his head.
Hsu Fengnian laughed. "No problem! But just think of it as you owe me a pot of wine. How about it? "
Xu Yanbing laughed. "You owe me!"
Xu Yanbing had been gone for a long time. Hsu Fengnian was all smiles as he rested his chin on his hand, watching the two women spinning in circles in the courtyard.
Chen Yu broke the silence. "I originally left Jiujiu Embassy with you only because Aunt Hong wanted me to go to Beiliang. To me, it doesn't matter where I go. I'm not lying to you about this."
Hsu Fengnian grunted. "I believe you."
Chen Yu smiled sweetly. Her smile was so beautiful that it could bring disaster to the country and its people. Unfortunately, Hsu Fengnian did not turn around.
She laughed. "I heard that the snow in Beiliang is very heavy in winter, so heavy that it can even blow people away. Is that true?"
Hsu Fengnian shook his head. "It's not that exaggerated, but the snow in Beiliang is really heavy."
Chen Yu continued to laugh. "Then I've really made up my mind to go to Beiliang?"
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "Beiliang is not big and very poor, but it can definitely accommodate a woman who wants to see the snow."
Chen Yu tilted her head and asked, "That's all."
Hsu Fengnian still nodded. "That's all."
Chen Yu's smile did not change. "You really are different from before."
Hsu Fengnian still nodded and added, "I forgot to remind you that Beiliang is really poor. If you have money or dowry, don't forget to bring it because it's too heavy. When the time comes, I'll help you carry it. I'm not afraid of being tired. If it's not possible, I still have eight hundred white horses. This time, I came to Great Peace City and did not have to fight. Isn't this the style of the Beiliang cavalry? "
Chen Yu's chest trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth and said, "It hasn't changed!"
Hsu Fengnian turned around and laughed as he clasped his fists.
There was another period of silence.
Chen Yu spoke again, "The person in your heart, she's very beautiful, right?"
Hsu Fengnian did not nod this time. He seemed to be in a daze. After a long time, he said softly, "Of course she's beautiful. When I was very young, I liked her at first sight. But at that time, I didn't know what it meant to like her. I only knew how to bully her. Maybe I was afraid that she would not remember me."
Chen Yu sighed softly.
Suddenly, this young man turned around and smiled warmly. "Also, she has dimples, you don't."
For the first time, Chen Yu had the impulse to beat someone up.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head again. His gaze seemed to pass through the courtyard walls, the walls of Great Peace City, the mountains and rivers, and looked towards the distant south.
Chen Yu made a sound of acknowledgement. "So it's her. No wonder you want to take the Beiliang cavalry to the Guangling Road."
Hsu Fengnian said gently, "I told her that I can bully her, and no one can bully her. She may not believe me, so I will prove it to her. "
Chen Yu felt slightly sad for no reason.
So between men and women, the calm words that were said without much effort, had such weight.
Actually, there was something that Hsu Fengnian did not say.
In the future, he would not bully her.
"My little mud figure."
