The old man sneered, "I don't know about the schemes of the imperial court, but old man Helian said that during the Guangling War, Li Yang treated Chen Zhibao as the King of Shu with an attitude of using him but not putting him in an important position. It's obvious that they were suspicious of him. After West Chu was conquered, Wu Zhongxuan and Lu Shengxiang would most likely fight for first place, followed by Song Li and the other young generals. Chen Zhibao would at most be ranked ahead of Guangling Prince Zhao Yi and Yanchi Prince Zhao Bing. Perhaps even King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, wouldn't compare to him. Do you think that someone as proud and arrogant as Chen Zhibao, someone who even Li Yang's previous emperor, Zhao Dun, regarded as the White-clothed War Saint, wouldn't have any grievances? In any case, even I, a layman, feel that Chen Zhibao would be sullen. The War of Liang Mang had nothing to do with him, and the War of the Two Liao had nothing to do with him. He finally got out of Western Shu, but in the end, he could only eat leftovers in Guangling Circuit. The so-called War Saint title? Isn't it just a joke? "
Hsu Fengnian muttered to himself, "If Xie Guanying hadn't suffered a crushing defeat in the capital, this assumption wouldn't have been possible. But now … Fan Bainu, Yelu Bainu, Yelu Dongchuang, Yelu Hongcai … are they the same Xu Xiao who promised Chen Zhibao to be the new Beimang dynasty? Each of us is asking a tiger for its skin. Will Chen Zhibao agree to Northern Mang because he thinks that one day, he will have the opportunity to rule the north and south and accomplish what Xu Xiao didn't do back then? "
The old man didn't disturb Hsu Fengnian's contemplation.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly turned his head and asked, "What about Gu Jiantang? I don't think he'll be roped in by Beimang. Even with Wang Sui leading the eastern front, the chances of victory are only 50-50. Hasn't Beimang thought about how to deal with this troublesome last famous general of the Spring and Autumn Period? "
The old man clicked his tongue and laughed, "You two are indeed the old fox and the little fox. Helian Wuwei has already expected this. The old man smiled and said," You two are indeed the old fox and the little fox. Helian Wuwei has already predicted this. The old man smiled and said, "Let you guess.
Hsu Fengnian squatted down and subconsciously grabbed a handful of hot yellow sand. He thought for a long time, "Although Liao King Zhao Wu is a hindrance, the two Liao countries are still considered an iron bucket. Then the breakthrough can only be moved to the west. Between Liaodong and Beimang, there aren't many people who can be ranked. Jiedushi Cai Nan, Administrator Han Lin, General of Hezhou, and Deputy General are all puppets who were scared out of their wits by our Beimang cavalry. There's no need to say much. But Ji Zhou … King of Han Zhao Xiong, I can't see through this vassal king. When I and the Phoenix Battalion passed by Ji Zhou, this king with the same title as the Emperor dared to come to my camp alone and chat with me. Next, Yuan Tingshan, Yang Huchen, and Han Fang, the three generals in power in Ji Zhou … Yuan Tingshan has his father-in-law Gu Jiantang and Li Jiayuan Castle as his backing. They're both support and restraint. Yang Huchen is going to Ji Zhou to atone for his crime. There's no need for him to be a spy for Beimang. Han Fang, to be honest, he's a chess piece I set up years ago. He's not loyal to Liyang, but at the very least, he won't betray Liyang for Beimang. The Valiant Lie Han Family has been fighting with the nomads in the north for three to four hundred years. Hundreds of people with the surname Han have died. Anyone can join Beimang, but Han Fang won't. "
The old man stood beside Hsu Fengnian and looked into the distance. His eyes were filled with yellow sand and desolation, "Now that I've told you the bad news, let's talk about the good news. But I don't know if this is good news."
Hsu Fengnian, who was squatting with his back against the wind, opened his palm. The wind blew the sand away, and he said softly, "Senior, please tell me."
The old man said in a heavier tone, "Hsu Fengnian, you should know that Helian Wuwei is in Beimang. He's one of the people who firmly support the Old Lady. This time, I'm able to pass through the border of the Southern Dynasty that's full of spiders and crows' fences and arrive at Beiliang without a sound. Of course, it's not because I'm capable. It's because Helian Wuwei and the Old Lady had an extremely secret conversation. There's no fourth person present except for the Imperial Peace Warrant. The Old Lady told Helian Wuwei that since the Yelu family of Beimang dared to risk everything to cooperate with Chen Zhibao, she also has the courage to ally with you, Hsu Fengnian. She'll pay more! As long as you agree to betray Liyang, even if you can't take a single soldier from Beiliang, she'll help you to a seat that you can't even imagine! "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and smiled. "This old woman is crazy."
The old man sighed. "People who are about to die are all the same."
Hsu Fengnian was stunned. "This is good news."
The old man sighed. "Wrong, very wrong. The last thing Helian Wuwei wanted me to tell you is that if you refuse the goodwill of the Beimang Empress, Beimang will fight to the death in the next southern expedition!"
Hsu Fengnian said indifferently, "Let's not talk about whether I agree or not. So many people have died in the past twenty years outside Beiliang. They've already given me an answer."
The old man smiled. "Whether you agree or not is up to you, Hsu Fengnian. I'm the one who sent the message. From now on, whether Liang Mang lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
Hsu Fengnian stood up slowly and clapped his hands. He smiled. "Why don't we fight? I've always remembered what you said all these years. No matter whether I can beat you or not, we'll talk about it after we fight! "
The old man said seriously, "No, no, no. A senior should have the demeanor of a senior. Besides, you're injured. Even if I beat you, I'll still be suspected of taking advantage of you."
Hsu Fengnian smiled but didn't say anything.
The old man's face turned red. He glared at him and said, "Brat! Don't push your luck! "
Hsu Fengnian laughed.
The old man stretched out his hand and patted the young king's shoulder. He looked a little melancholy. "You almost drowned at the bottom of the Tidehark Lake for the first time. You were saved by me. Later, you would go down to the lake to hold your breath. Or you would bring me food. To be honest, I watched you grow from a child to the King of Beiliang today …"
Hsu Fengnian was a little embarrassed. He said awkwardly, "When I was in a bad mood in the early years, I often brought things to the bottom of the lake to tease you. I hope you don't take it to heart."
The old man was speechless.
Hsu Fengnian shut his mouth. He didn't want to rub salt on the old man's wound.
The old man laughed heartily and said, "On the way here, I heard that Liyang Jianghu no longer mentions you, the high and mighty Fourteen Wushu Judges. You're too high and unattainable. To be honest, Grandpa knows his own limits. I've beaten up a bunch of monsters like you before. However, I'd really like to meet those so-called Four Sages' Top Ten Masters and those Fourteen Auspicious Talisman Champions who copied the Thirteen Armors of Spring and Autumn!"
Hsu Fengnian nodded and reminded him, "Although many of them are masters fishing for fame, there are some famous masters on the list. It's better not to provoke them. For example, Suixie Valley's Yu Groom in Beiliang, Wulin Alliance Master Xuanyuan Qingfeng, Dongyue Sword Pool's Chai Qingshan, Nanzhao's number one Wei Miao, Nanjiang's blade master Mao Shulang, Dragon Palace's Cheng Baishuang …"
The old man's face became uglier and uglier. He said angrily, "Brat, just tell me. Who can I beat?"
Hsu Fengnian rubbed his chin and said, "You'll have to think about it."
The old man was not in the mood to listen to Hsu Fengnian's nonsense. He got on his horse and rode two horses. He was about to go south to the Central Plains to explore Jianghu.
Hsu Fengnian said with a smile, "Don't let me hear that you've just returned to Jianghu and you've already been beaten down."
The burly old man sat high on the horse and said angrily, "Brat, just wait for me to kill everyone in Jianghu in the Central Plains!"
The old man rode down the hill.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly looked at the old man's back and shouted, "Old man, I was able to believe in the idea I had when I was young and go to Wudang to practice martial arts because I saw you at the bottom of the lake. That made me believe that there are indeed masters in this world."
There were masters and immortals in Jianghu. One person could really fight against ten thousand people. Only then could he have the chance to take revenge with his own strength.
That was why Hsu Fengnian was extremely grateful to this old man whose shoulder blades were nailed with iron chains. This was the Jianghu senior who made him grit his teeth and persist on climbing the martial path.
The old man did not turn his head and shouted, "Pretentious! If you have the ability … "
The old man suddenly realized that he could not say anything to attack this brat. If you have the ability to become the best in the world? This brat did not die at Wang Xianzhi's hands. He fought thousands of miles with Tuoba Bodhisattva and even fought against two people in Great Peace City.
Jianghu was like this. When had he ever lost in court?
In the end, the old man who was almost at the foot of the hill roared, "Hsu Fengnian, if you have the ability, then die after me! Brat, remember, when the time comes, don't forget to get me some good wine and meat! "
