A young scholar in a green robe hurriedly walked out of the gate of the White Horse Academy. He looked around and was slightly stunned when he saw Hsu Fengnian and Song Yu. He was a scholar from Huainan who had recently studied at the Academy. He was not one of the people who had followed Chancellor Wang to the grave. His ancestors were classmates with Yao Baifeng. They had studied together under Mr. Zhengyuan in Shangluo County. Because of this, his grandfather asked this grandson to come to Liangzhou when he heard that Yao Baifeng was hosting the White Horse Academy again. Because of his honest and gentle personality and profound family knowledge, the old Yao Baifeng asked this young man to help him with some trivial matters. Today, when the group of Beiliang military leaders came to visit, it was mostly him who led people into the Academy. The White Horse Academy also received the news from Mount Qingliang at the last minute that the Lord was coming. This was naturally a big deal for the young scholar. However, the attitude of Yao Baifeng and Xu Beizhi made him a little confused. They were indifferent and only told him to lead the way when he saw the Lord. However, the young scholar was inevitably troubled. He didn't know the young Lord, but he soon felt relieved. Presumably, when a powerful Lord of Liyang came out, it would be amazing. To be honest, he was very curious about the legendary young Lord and also somewhat admired him. There was a popular saying in the Central Plains, "Southern Song Dynasty and Northern Xu Dynasty". It was said that West Chu Song Yushu's splendid articles and Beiliang Hsu Fengnian's charm and bearing were both peerless in the world. It was quite like "Southern Xie and Northern Li" in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The young scholar looked at the man in a white robe with only one retinue. His intuition told him that the man in front of him was most likely Hsu Fengnian. However, how could such a simple person be the Lord of Beiliang cavalry who had successfully stirred up the general trend of the world?
Hsu Fengnian went up the steps and saw a simple wooden frame at the door. A string of exquisite jade hooks was tied to the horizontal railing to hang the swords.
Hsu Fengnian had once promised Mount Master Huang Shang when the Green Deer Cave Academy was first established that no matter which martial artist of Beiliang wanted to enter the Beiliang Academy, no matter their official rank, they would have to take off their swords.
At this time, there were seven Beiliang swords hanging on the wooden frame.
Battle swords with jade hooks hanging on the wooden frame.
Hsu Fengnian walked in front of the wooden frame and looked at the battle swords. Most of them were old, and not a single one was the newest Xu Six Swords. One of the battle swords had a severely worn scabbard. It could even be called a unique first-generation Xu family sword!
Even in Mount Qingliang, there was not a single first-generation Xu Sword. Even though Xu Xiao had sent people to the Central Plains to buy such battle swords at a high price, there were still no results. This was because the first-generation Xu Swords were not forged in large quantities. There were no more than seven thousand of them. Secondly, the conditions at the time were harsh and the forging process was very crude. This resulted in the battle swords not being of good quality. Many of them were damaged on the battlefield and could not withstand more than a few battles. At that time, Xu Xiao had led his troops on expeditions everywhere and fought many bitter battles. He was even worse than a stray dog. He did not even know whether he could survive or not. He was used to the life of fighting. As for whether the sword was forged by himself or not, it really did not matter. It should be known that during the war, even Xu Xiao himself had directly taken off the enemy's armor on the battlefield and put it on himself.
When Xu Xiao was alive, he only liked to brag to Hsu Fengnian about his great achievements. He said that he had won many battles and defeated many famous generals in the Eight Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn.
However, he never told Hsu Fengnian about how many hardships he had suffered in those years. He did not even mention a word about it.
Many of these things were heard by Hsu Fengnian a long time later when he chatted with people like Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong.
Sometimes, Hsu Fengnian would also think that if he had children in the future, he would also have the opportunity to wait for them to grow up slowly. Probably like Xu Xiao, he would only tell them that their father had defeated many martial arts masters in his life, but would not tell them how many injuries and how much blood he had lost in those life-and-death battles.
Father and son in the world were generally like this.
I have never been a father, so I don't know the hardships of my father.
When Hsu Fengnian slowly took off the sword at his waist, he turned to look at Song Yu and asked with a smile, "Steward Song, will your twins, who have just turned ten years old, be tired of your nagging?"
Hearing such a question out of the blue, Song Yu, who was extremely clever, was still a little unprepared. But soon he smiled and said, "Of course, every time I tell the two children how many great figures their father has seen, they always snort at me and want to cover their ears. But when I tell them about the great deeds of the lord, even if they have heard it too many times, they will still enjoy it."
