In the darkness of the night, the young lord who had just been kicked out of his small wooden bed moved a bamboo chair to sit under the eaves. He did not treat himself too badly. He did not forget to bring out a pot of Green Ant Wine and a plate of peanuts. He did not drink the wine. The small plate was placed on his robe, and he slowly ate the peanuts one by one. The night was long, so he should eat sparingly.
Xu Fengnian sighed. Haste makes waste. He thought that she was in a good mood because he had helped her earn so many copper coins. In fact, she did let him touch the small bed. However, when his paw just touched a certain place that was "finally not peaceful", he was immediately met with an unexpected disaster before he had time to savor it.
Hsu Fengnian lowered his head and glanced at his crotch. He said sadly, "Jianghu's loyal young man, you enjoy the blessings, and I bear the difficulties! That's loyal enough, right? "
After muttering, Hsu Fengnian leaned back in the chair and held the back of his head with his hands. He looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky.
It was autumn, and the night was as cold as water.
Hsu Fengnian was aware of the confrontation between Gu Jiantang and the white-robed monk during the day, as well as the disturbance caused by Tantai Pingjing in the two Lotus Peaks. He even knew that Gu Jiantang and Tantai Pingjing finally met at the foot of the mountain.
There were some things that he could not care about, and he could not care about. If he really cared about it, it would only add to his troubles.
Hutou City, the northernmost city outside of Liangzhou Pass, and Beimang, the center of the army with the most troops, advanced on three fronts. They were strictly organized and watertight.
Fortunately, Cao Wei and Xie Xi Bian joined hands and achieved a great victory at Miyun Pass in the Western Regions, which was beyond everyone's expectations. However, the two cavalry troops under Xie Xi Bian's command, as well as the horse bandits recruited by Han Wenbao and Chai Dongdi, were almost completely wiped out. The Huaiyang Pass Governor-General had already made an exception to promote Xie Xibang to deputy general of Liuzhou. He was temporarily in charge of the two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, and the 20,000 monk soldiers of Lantuo Mountain were also under his command. Xie Xibian's cavalry didn't suffer too many losses. Mount Qingliang and the Governor-General Manor hastily came to a temporary decision, deciding to have Xie Xibian lead the troops to charge north. Together with Yu Luan's Saber Division's Youzhou elite cavalry that was already approaching Northern Mang's Gentleman's Pavilion, they formed a coordinated force to advance side by side, directly assaulting the Southern Dynasty's West Capital!
Youzhou Gourd Pass was calm.............................................. The group of twenty or so swordsmen that had left the Wu family's Sword Tomb could take this opportunity to lead a small group of cavalry outside the pass. Although it was just icing on the cake, it was still a good thing.
North of Qingcang City in Liuzhou, Huang Man'er and Kou Jianghuai's two cavalry units were ready to set off.
This afternoon, he had reached an agreement with Su Su. The 20,000 Shu Zhao soldiers were not like a drop in the bucket, but they could only be used as a surprise force outside of Liangzhou Pass. In a battle where there was very little room to maneuver, it was not a good thing to fight a battle where the sword needed to be unconventional. Hsu Fengnian hoped that in the end, there would be no need for the 20,000 soldiers to rush to the battlefield. As for the message that Wei Miao sent to Chen Zhibao, saying that he would not stop This Old Man's son Zhao Dingxiu's troops from crossing Shu into Liang, it could be trusted, but not completely trusted. Currently, the northern and southern territories near Guangling River were in a mess. Yan King Zhao Bing, Shu King Chen Zhibao, King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, and Li Yang, these three vassal kings were working together. Maybe the Li Yang court that was loyal to the Zhao family still felt that with Gu Jiantang, this stabilizing force, the court still had some advantage. However, Hsu Fengnian knew that Gu Jiantang's fate with the Zhao family of Great Peace City had come to an end. His son-in-law Yuan Tingshan had betrayed the court during the Spring Snow Building's celebratory feast. In the eyes of outsiders, he had given his father-in-law, Gu Jiantang, a difficult problem. However, that ambitious mad dog had also gone with the flow.
Right now, Hsu Fengnian, other than the situation outside the Guanbai border, was truly worried about the grain that the court had promised before entering Liang. With his "friendship" with King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, and the fact that Zhao Xun was about to be pushed onto the dragon throne, it would be strange if the court's grain could be smoothly transported to Lingzhou.
Originally, these things were not a problem. Even if Zhao Xun really did put on the dragon robe, he was just a puppet. He could speak, but he could not truly change the situation. Even if Yan King Zhao Bing was wary of Beiliang, as long as Zhao Zhu was there, he could still change the situation.
However, ever since he met Lin Hongyuan, Hsu Fengnian had to prepare for the worst, which was that Beiliang would face the greatest predicament of being attacked from the front and back.
Hsu Fengnian carefully chewed on a peanut and calmly said, "Zhao Zhu, you forced me to fight with you. Even if I can't sit on that throne in the future …"
Hsu Fengnian sighed and did not say any harsh words.
That evening, the gyrfalcon sent a secret message from Wutongin on Mount Qingliang. It only had four words.
"They have arrived at Liangzhou."
These four words were personally written by his second sister, Xu Weixiong. Furthermore, one could tell that she had written them with great care.
This was a secret matter that had been planned for a long time. Even the Whisk Room and the Eagle Room did not participate in it.
From beginning to end, it was only Xu Weixiong who planned it.
A few years ago, when Hsu Fengnian traveled the jianghu for the second time, other than the old man with the sheepskin fur coat and the little mud man, there was also Lü Qiantang, who later died in the reed marsh, and Shu Xiu, who was very likely to be the empress. There were quite a few people. Among them, the plump woman holding the white cat was very inconspicuous. In the end, she was "borrowed" by Xu Weixiong from Hsu Fengnian and brought to Shangyin Academy. At that time, Xu Weixiong said something very strange. He said that he wanted to use Yu Youwei, whose real name was Yu Xuanji, as bait to fish out a thousand-year-old turtle from the mud at the bottom of the lake. In fact, Hsu Fengnian did not think too much about it and had almost forgotten about it. This year, Yu Youwei, as Mr. Ji Shang of the academy, led a group of students from Beiliang Academy to study in Beiliang and began to teach in various academies in Beiliang. Only then did Xu Weixiong tell him about what happened that year. It turned out that Yu Youwei did not just have an extraordinary background. As a member of Da Chu, Li Chungang had casually mentioned that there were female sword attendants in Da Chu for generations. With their brilliant sword dance, they stood out in the world. Their cultivation was not high, but their skills were profound. It was really a strange thing. Yu Youwei's mother was the last eccentric sword attendant of Da Chu. Her chess skills were on par with that of the State Preceptor Li Mi. As for why she was so amazing, it was originally a confusing secret of the Jiang family of Da Chu. With the end of the Battle of the Western Wall, it was buried in the dust of history. Naturally, the world did not know.
During the years when Xu Weixiong was studying in Shangyin Academy, he only addressed three people as "Mister". Two of them were his teachers. One was the master of literature, Han Guzi, whose disciples were almost all taken in by Beiliang. The other was Chancellor Wang, who was the first to seek refuge with the Xu family of Beiliang. He was also the leader of the scholars who died in the cold.
The last one, Hsu Fengnian, was only heard to be a blind old zither player. He lived in the Dao De Forest of Shangyin Academy all year round.
The news from Xu Weixiong that "he has arrived in Liangzhou" was precisely this person.
An unworldly master was still in the human world.
Ordinary martial artists would think that this was nonsense.
But ever since Hsu Fengnian met the eunuch of Tai 'an City who was the same age as Guo, or even earlier, when he met the real Celestial Being Gao Shu Lu, he began to understand a truth.
Now, there was one more person in the world who could not be understood by common sense, Tantai Pingjing.
This sentence was not nonsense, it was obviously a lie!
The scholars who could become the Sage of Confucianism, from the Sage of the Zhang family in the north to Cao Changqing in West Chu, did not have a good ending.
People of the same three religions, Buddhism and Daoism, almost every generation had people who succeeded in proving their Dao, reaching perfection, or ascending.
Why was it that only Confucianism did not have a "good ending"?
Tantai Pingjing once used her identity as a Qi cultivator to explain that it was caused by the Dao of Heaven.
Hsu Fengnian felt that what she said made sense, but she did not explain the whole reason.
Hsu Fengnian, who was in a daze, suddenly remembered something. He put down the wine pot and plate, got up and ran to fetch water. Late at night, the Elephant Washing Pool should have finally quieted down. Then, he filled the water tank with water.
But just as Hsu Fengnian pushed open the green bamboo fence, he could not help but jump up and curse. In the middle of the night, there were two groups of people coming to the Elephant Washing Pool?!
