"Ever since I entered the palace, I've never left Sui 'an City. I've only shown my face once in a while. I haven't fought many people, and even fewer people remember me. In recent decades, that scholar Cao Changqing has been very … "
The young eunuch suddenly fell silent, as if he didn't know how to describe the spirited scholar from West Chu in his memory.
In the end, the young eunuch didn't make a final conclusion for Cao Changqing from West Chu. He just brushed it off and raised his head to look at Hsu Fengnian. For the first time, he truly asked, "Will you usurp the throne and become the Emperor?"
Hsu Fengnian said frankly, "Because of Xu Xiao, I won't be the Emperor. But if my master can live another ten years after Xu Xiao leaves, I will fight for him. "
The young eunuch stared into Hsu Fengnian's eyes and nodded. "You and I are both sincere."
Hsu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, was sincere in speaking frankly. The eunuch's sincerity was to leave the capital and come to Beiliang of his own accord.
At the time, Hsu Fengnian was slaughtering people both inside and outside the Imperial Astronomer. The young eunuch probably didn't do anything because the situation in the Central Plains at the time wasn't enough for Beiliang to decide the fate of the world.
As expected, the young eunuch smiled. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you leave when I was in the capital."
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "It wasn't easy for you to keep me at the time."
The young eunuch thought for a moment. "At the time, Hong Xixiang's remnant soul was by your side, and Đồng Thái was watching the battle. It really wasn't easy."
The young eunuch extended a hand.
Hsu Fengnian also took the opportunity to sit at the mouth of the well.
The young eunuch sighed. "There are fewer and fewer people who can sit down and reason things out peacefully. I've seen many people with my own eyes. The higher the official position, the greater the military power, the harder it is for them to control their hearts. Almost all the Emperors of Liyang are like this. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled. "When you say these words, there is no killing intent, but killing intent. That's not very appropriate, is it?"
The young eunuch said with a composed expression, "Am I not talking about myself?"
Hsu Fengnian said helplessly, "Putting aside martial strength, you and I have met our match."
The young eunuch raised his head. In the twilight, he saw dark clouds hanging low, as if a storm was coming.
He turned his head and looked at Hsu Fengnian. "In Great Peace City, in the past few decades, I have seen the young Xu Xiao and Zhang Julu. I didn't like them very much. Xu Xiao, who had entered the palace for the first time, was still a surplus general at that time. From head to toe, he exuded a sharp aura of killing gods and Buddhas. Zhang Julu, who had served as the Huangmen of the Hanlin Academy for many years, walked in the ranks of the imperial court retreating. Even if his rank was very low at that time, you would still see the arrogance of the world from him. I knew that Cao Changqing had entered the palace three times, but he did not appear. "
"In comparison, I find Huan Wen more pleasing to the eye. He is a very smart person, but he pretended to be a fool his entire life and was always kind to others. So I met him alone twice in the palace, about twenty or thirty years apart. The second time, he still recognized me at a glance, but pretended not to. He just smiled and greeted me."
"Of the past emperors of Liyang, the current young Emperor, Zhao Zhuan, can be considered the most generous. Of course, this is only in comparison to his father and ancestors. "
Hearing this quietly, Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "So that's why you have this trip to Beiliang?"
The young eunuch shook his head and said, "As long as the surname is Zhao, it doesn't matter whether I am Zhao Zhuan or not."
The young eunuch then said flatly, "Unfortunately, your surname is Xu, not Zhao."
As these words were said, a drizzle began to fall on the street. The contours of the stone street seemed to soften.

This well was located at the corner of the street in front of the post house, so Chen Wang could just see the scene from the top of the post house.
Although it was dark and rainy, Chen Wang still recognized the identity of the young man who had appeared beside the well.
Chen Wang hesitated for a moment, but still walked down from the post house. However, before he could walk out of the gate, he found that Xu Beizhi was already sitting on the threshold, blocking his way.
Xu Beizhi picked up a jug of wine from somewhere and seemed to be talking to himself. "He said he wouldn't come, but he came. In the end, he didn't even see the person in question. It seems that this usually ordinary coachman is not ordinary."
Chen Wang said in a low voice, "Xu Beizhi, you better not block my way. That person's cultivation is definitely beyond your imagination. Even your prince can't imagine it! "
Xu Beizhi's expression was normal as he took a sip of wine. "Oh?"
"Xu Beizhi, perhaps Hsu Fengnian doesn't need to fear anyone in the world, but the person he is facing right now is an exception!" Chen Wang's tone was anxious. It was obvious that it was no small matter to make Chen Shaobao, who was known for his steadiness, lose his composure.
Xu Beizhi turned his head and asked with a smile, "Do you want to drink some wine to calm your nerves?"
Chen Wang almost cursed out loud, but seeing those clear eyes, Chen Wang sighed heavily and took the jug, taking a big gulp of Green Ant wine.
