After Hsu Fengnian sat down, the old man asked, "How is it?"
Hsu Fengnian, who had drunk quite a bit tonight, let out a long sigh. Other than the smell of alcohol, he was also depressed. He smiled and said, "It's fine now. When we're outside, we have to rely on our friends. Although there's a lot of commotion upstairs, my friends can handle it. "
She wasn't a young virgin, but she was a young saber master. She frowned again and said in a low voice, "Just now, there was someone with a particularly strong aura. He's at least a Heavenly Phenomenon expert!"
The old man said unhappily, "It must be that Wei Miao! After that fellow joined the King of Shu, he became even more confident. Instead of being a master of the pugilistic world, he chose to be an official's lackey! I must have been blind to think that he was a real man a few years ago. "
Hsu Fengnian didn't say a word about this.
In an instant, Tong Shanquan had already stood up. Her left hand pressed on the hilt of a long saber on her right waist. The saber was unsheathed by an inch!
However, it was unknown whether the saber she was holding was a martial virtue or a heavenly treasure.
Hsu Fengnian was helpless.
The three of them were near the window.
At this moment, two heads were hanging upside down, staring at the three of them.
Hsu Fengnian rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly. "Manor Lord Tong, don't misunderstand. They're my family."
The old man surnamed Tong was dumbstruck. He looked at Brother Xu, then at the two heads outside the window.
Even with Tong Shanquan's unwavering determination, his mouth was slightly agape.
From this, it could be seen that Xu Ying and Miss Hehe weren't very well received, especially at night.
Jia Jiajia chuckled three times, curled his lips, and disappeared in a flash.
Xu Ying followed suit and chuckled three times before disappearing as well.
The atmosphere was awkward.
No one spoke.
Fortunately, Su Su and the others came down from the third floor.
Su Su clicked her tongue and said, "Yo, Xu, you're spending time with a stranger again. How busy!"
Then, Su Su raised her voice and said sincerely to Tong Shanquan, "Miss, please ignore that pervert. He already has three wives and four concubines. Even his children can climb trees and dig out bird nests!"
Hsu Fengnian laughed angrily, "Scram!"
Su Su gave him a thumbs up. "You teach me first?"
Hsu Fengnian pretended to get up, but Su Su simply ran away like a wisp of smoke.
Wei Miao and the Miaojiang woman came downstairs after Su Su, Xue Songguan, and the swordsmith. The old man with the surname Tong turned his head and snorted coldly. This made Wei Miao, who wanted to greet the old man, continue to go downstairs. However, the Miaojiang woman with the enchanting figure threw a wink at Hsu Fengnian and did not forget to give him a thumbs up.
The old man, who hadn't drunk a single drop of wine since Xu Fengnian had entered the building, subconsciously reached out to pick up the wine jug. He shook it a little, but it was empty. After putting down the jug, he said unhappily, "Young Master Xu, why don't you tell this old man everything? Tell me straight!"
Hsu Fengnian said seriously, "How about I drink two more jugs with you? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink anymore."
The old man's face darkened. "I'm not drinking!"
Hsu Fengnian continued, "According to the restaurant's rules, if someone can drink six jugs of Green Ant Wine in a day, they won't even charge for the food. I'll drink one and a half jugs."
The old man was indeed experienced. He immediately said decisively, "Then drink!"
This time, it was Tong Shanquan who rubbed his forehead.
There were no more waiters on the second floor. So, Hsu Fengnian had to personally go to the counter and rummage through the cabinets to get the two jugs of wine. He also got two plates of peanuts.
He held the jug between his arms and held the plates with both hands.
The only thing missing was a white cotton towel on his shoulders.
When Tong Shanquan saw him like this, he asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, can this be that person?"
At that time, the old man was just casually talking nonsense to his granddaughter. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Drinking was drinking, but silence was silence.
Hsu Fengnian was bored to death. He would occasionally point at the table.
After drinking two jugs of wine, the old man stood up shakily and said calmly, "I'm leaving."
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "Then I won't see you out."
The old man waved his hand and strode away.
Hsu Fengnian looked at Tong Shanquan's back as he walked further and further away. He asked with a smile, "May I ask Miss Tong, which one is the sixth most famous blade in the world?"
Tong Shanquan stopped in his tracks. His right hand gently touched the hilt of a long blade at his waist.
Hsu Fengnian said slowly, "A sharp blade cuts through the water. The blade doesn't damage the blade, and the water doesn't leave a trace."
Tong Shanquan said the same thing when he met Hsu Fengnian before.
"Thank you."

The autumn of the third year of Xiangfu was particularly eventful.
The King of Yan Chi, Zhao Bing, and the King of Shu, Chen Zhibao, raised their troops together. Half of the territory south of Guangling River fell. The Liyang imperial court had no choice but to let Lu Shengxiang and Wu Zhongxuan lead troops south again. The assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Gong, replaced Cai Nan, who had resigned due to illness. He was in charge of controlling the northern border army between Beiliang and the two Liao provinces.
The imperial court conferred the King of Beiliang, Hsu Fengnian, as the pillar of the state. At the same time, he also conferred posthumous titles to Liu Jinu, Wang Lingbao, and all the heroes who died outside the Great Pass. He also made an exception and set up two Deputy Jingshi and Jiedushi in Beiliang. The former Liangzhou provincial governor, Lu Dongjiang, became the number two civil official in Beiliang. Xu Beizhi and Yang Shenxing were both Deputy Jiedushi.
In the battle of Miyun Pass, Cao Wei and an originally unknown general surnamed Xie annihilated Zhong Tan's cavalry. Only Xia Jobo and Zhong Tan led a dozen or so Zhong family elite cavalry to break out of the encirclement. In this battle, they successfully forced Lantuo Mountain, who had already accepted the title of Guoshi of Beimang, to change sides. Twenty thousand monk soldiers rushed to the aid of Qingcang City in Liuzhou.
Yu Luandao led more than ten thousand light cavalry to bypass the Gentleman's Pavilion and several important border towns of Gusai Prefecture. His lone army penetrated deep into Beimang's southern court hinterland and pointed at Xijing, shaking the two dynasties of Beimang.
The Beimang royal court spread the news that after the Empress heard about the crushing defeat at Miyun Pass, she was so angry that she fell ill and couldn't get up. Crown Prince Yelu Hong temporarily took charge of the southern expedition. Yelu Hongcai, an elder of three dynasties, was given the title of Xijing's chief assistant, assisting His Highness the Crown Prince. Among them, Yelu Dongchuang, a member of the King's tent, was appointed as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War in Xijing. At the same time, he was conferred the title of Zhenguo General, controlling four important military towns, including the Gentleman's Pavilion.
Afterwards, the rebel army of the two kings of Liyang did not immediately launch an attack to the north. Instead, they quickly nibbled away the vast territory south of the Guangling River.
But just when the entire Liyang officialdom and army mistakenly thought that the King of Yan was going to establish himself as the emperor, the Central Plains ushered in a huge and far-reaching shock. It was rumored that the two kings of Liyang were going to raise the King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, to the throne because of his loyalty to the orthodox Zhao family!
The eyes and thoughts of the world were all focused on this series of shocking changes.
Among them, the Crown Prince of Yan Zhi, Zhao Zhu, was still calm and collected.
He also did not pay attention to the small place in Liangzhou called Bei 'an Town. On that night, behind the thick smell of blood, there was real blood.
The real blood, there was no blood.
On the contrary, it was the warmth of the past, the life and death of the past.

On the second floor of a big restaurant, Hsu Fengnian sat alone on a bench, closing his eyes and taking a nap.
When Hsu Fengnian opened his eyes, Liu Nerong was standing alone at the table.
Seeing that she was not the woman he expected, the young king was relieved.
Even if he was destined to meet the other woman, it was always good to meet her a little later.
This was like His Royal Highness who had returned from traveling Jianghu. He knew that Xu Xiao was starting to grow old, but it was better to be slower.
