Zhao Heng was completely enraged by her dodging action. He slapped her, causing her, who was a noble wangfei, to fall to the ground. He suddenly stood up and angrily scolded: "The one surnamed Pei, you are more dead than a dead person. Since you have such backbone, why don't you die?! Why didn't you accompany your father to die for the country? Throw yourself into a well? There are sixty-four wells in the mansion! Hanging beams? This King has rewarded you with so many brocades and silks over the years! Hitting the railings? There are so many in the mansion! Don't worry, after you die, This King will definitely give you a grand funeral! "
Princess Pei didn't look at the ruthless King of Jing An. She only looked mournfully at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva whose kasaya covered the mountains. She coldly said, "I'm afraid of death, so I married you."
The King of Jing An was filled with endless disgust. He turned his back to the woman who he hadn't seen clearly for more than ten years and stiffly said, "Get out!"
Princess Pei stood up and tidied her hair and clothes. She bowed and walked out of the temple. When she crossed the threshold, she asked, "Beiliang's Heir's gift, should I accept it or not?"
Zhao Heng sneered, "This King is still magnanimous. Just take it. This King knows that your painting skills are superb. Just don't use the prayer beads to do obscene things after drawing that bastard's portrait. You are degrading yourself. This King doesn't see it and doesn't feel annoyed. But if you stain the prayer beads and annoy the Bodhisattva, then This King's years of praying for you will be wasted."
Princess Pei indifferently said, "Oh."
As soon as she left, the King of Jing An, Zhao Heng, suddenly became a different person. He was undistracted, as if he had just flipped through the extremely difficult scriptures in the house. He sat on a praying mat made of vanilla and coldly said, "Lame Xu, do you really think that This King won't dare to touch your son?! Hereditary title? This King has turned your twenty years of painstaking effort into a joke! "

Jiang Ni wanted to read, so Hsu Fengnian reluctantly endured and listened to her read two thousand words. Then he went to find Yu Youwei and prepared to take her to Xiangfan's Diaoyu Terrace to view the scenery. There were several old Taoists from the Taoist Master's Mansion in the Diaoyu Terrace. Hsu Fengnian wanted to see if he could personally ask some news about Huang Man 'er at Mount Longhu. However, he was still not at ease with the letters written by that ox-nosed old Taoist Zhao Xituan. Yu Youwei wore a gorgeous embroidered fur coat bought from Mount Laoshan's Qingfu Satin Shop. It was a typical West Chu style, which could be called a pile of red brocade. Unfortunately, in Hsu Fengnian's eyes, it was a bit too tight. He didn't want Yu Youwei's soft breasts to be slightly exposed, but he also didn't want to not show the slightest bit of charm. Yu Youwei was originally an outstanding beauty with a romantic figure, especially those two proud piles of fat on her chest. Hsu Fengnian was a bastard who had seen and tasted the tempting taste of Yu Youwei. Yu Youwei was so tightly wrapped that he even killed the chance for his imagination to roam. Fortunately, she was holding her beloved white cat, which squeezed out some of the natural color of her breasts. Hsu Fengnian smiled and said to himself, "I didn't raise you for nothing, Wu Meiniang."
After they went out, Hsu Fengnian considerately asked, "Have you seen Shouyang Lake?"
Yu Youwei shook her head.
Thus, Hsu Fengnian first took her to take a slight detour, passing by a White Snake Embankment. It seemed that the scenic spots that were related to immortals were mostly sword immortals. He had never heard of any that were related to sabers. For example, the White Snake Embankment was said to be a land immortal several hundred years ago who couldn't stand a white snake stirring up trouble in the lake. He angrily slashed it with his sword, and after the white snake died, its huge body became a long embankment. The White Snake Embankment was like this, and so was the Spring Immortal Lake. A saber user? There was no future. Hsu Fengnian, who was full of self-mockery, took Yu Youwei along the way, which attracted a lot of attention. Some of the scholars who were touring the lake mustered up their energy to recite poems or sing loudly, hoping to win the favor of the lady holding the cat. Unfortunately, Yu Youwei completely ignored them.
Hsu Fengnian teased, "You didn't get to wear rouge, so don't you blame me?"
Yu Youwei just shook her head.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Logically speaking, your father is the Jixia scholar of Shangyin Academy, so you should like the children of landowning households. But previously in Beiliang, I didn't hear you have a poem with any scholar?"
Yu Youwei said softly, "Because I know that those scholars who keep on saying that they don't work, don't farm, and that the emperor decrees me to sleep alone are all people who go crazy when the emperor decrees them. Those who say that they want to shock the old dragon with a sword in the sky are actually people who don't even dare to kill a chicken. What poetry can I talk to them about? "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "That's right. They can't compare to me, a vulgar guy who openly spends money to buy literature. Otherwise, why do they say that men only speak 30% of their words, and leave 70% to conquer the world? "
Yu Youwei lowered her head and didn't say anything.
After slowly walking out of Shouyang Lake, Hsu Fengnian rode on the horse that Lü Qiantang had brought over. There were only five horses in total, and he didn't give Yu Youwei a chance to ride alone. After getting on the horse, His Royal Highness hugged the beauty, and the beauty hugged the white cat. They became a beautiful sight on the street.
When he rode to the city gate and went up the city tower, he found out that the old Taoist priests of Mount Longhu who were guarding the fishing tower had already left Xiangfan. It turned out that the Heavenly Talisman had already burned itself. No wonder the people of Xiangfan were so happy. Hsu Fengnian climbed up the fishing tower, and no one dared to stop him. After entering the towering city tower, Hsu Fengnian sized up the layout of the city while Yu Youwei looked at the vast Spring Lake. Hsu Fengnian asked Ning Emei some questions about how to conduct a street battle after breaking through Xiangfan's city gate. Ning Emei was a clear horse battle general. After entering the Beiliang army, he mostly accumulated military merits by killing the Beimang barbarians at the border. When the two sides fought, most of the time it was a contest of strength on the plains. As for His Royal Highness's questions about sieging the city, Ning Emei could only tell the surface of what he had heard from the old soldiers. Fortunately, Hsu Fengnian was still listening attentively, occasionally nodding his head. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would always get to the bottom of it. Ning Emei, who was a dabbler in street battles, couldn't help but stare at His Royal Highness.
The burly Ning Emei, who was dressed in casual clothes, finally had some free time. Seeing His Royal Highness stop and gaze into the distance, he asked carefully, "Your Highness, why are you asking about these things? There's no chance of sieging a city on the Beiliang border. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled faintly and said, "Books and secret manuals. As long as it's in the books, I can get it if I want it. It's just a matter of time. But those things that aren't in the books might just be trivial matters, but they're priceless treasures to me. Besides, if we don't attack the city now, won't our 300,000 strong cavalry be able to flatten Beimang in the future? "
Ning Emei, who was as strong as a bear, trembled.
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and asked, "General Ning, has Jing 'an Palace accepted the sandalwood box I asked you to deliver?"
Ning Emei nodded and said, "It's been accepted."
Hsu Fengnian gazed at the faraway Jing 'an Palace in the city and muttered, "It doesn't matter if you see through me. Aren't you the most irreconcilable person in the world with that person in the capital?"
