She remembered that in the past there was a prodigal son who joked that if he lowered his head to look, he would not be able to see the tip of his feet.
Now that Yu Youwei remembered it, she did not think it was ridiculous or funny. Instead, she felt a little bitter.
These words, even if she stopped him in the past, he would have said it. Now that she asked him to say it, she was afraid he was not in the mood to say it.

It was unknown when it started, but in the mansion of the vassal king, many high-ranking officials, especially the military counselor, would jog around the outside of the walls of the vassal king's mansion three times every morning, and then they would practice boxing together on the open space in front of the conference hall and the six departments' wing room. It was said that the boxing style was created by the previous Wudang Cult Leader Hong Xixiang. After the young vassal king's deletion and integration, it was simplified from the orthodox one hundred and eight styles of the big frame of Wudang Mountain to the small frame of thirty-six styles practiced by the people of the vassal king's mansion. The essence was still there, and it reduced a lot of the cumbersome postures that were not easy for the ordinary people at the foot of the mountain to perform. The movements alternated between fast and slow, like moving clouds and flowing water, which was most suitable for stretching the muscles and bones, consolidating the foundation, and nourishing the qi.
Over time, led by Chancellor Wang of the Ceremonial Chamber and Song Changsui of the Workshop, they took the initiative to participate in the morning running and practicing boxing together with the officials of the vassal king's mansion. Bai Yu of the Household Chamber, because of his weak eyesight, would also stand under the eaves of the wing room every day, smiling and squinting his eyes at each other. Because the Official Li, the Administrator, personally led the Official Li, was a group of dragons without a leader, Li Gongde developed the habit of going to the top of the city wall every day before dawn. Li Gongde, as the role model of the older generation of civil officials in Beiliang, although he could sit on the sand pile and chat with the bumpkin craftsmen who built the city, he was unwilling to mingle with a bunch of younger generation in the officialdom. Therefore, naturally he would not mix with them. The officials of the Official Li also gave up, and the officials on duty of the military and penal departments did not need to exercise their bodies, so they also did not join in the fun. But even so, the morning of the vassal king's mansion already gave people a kind of lively atmosphere.
Today, the young vassal king accompanied Mr. White Lotus to stand at the top of the stairs, watching more than two hundred people practicing boxing together. Among them was the pair of Lu Chengsong and Lu Chengqing. Lu Chengqing did not follow the head of the family Lu Dongjiang back to Guannei Lingzhou, but instead stayed in North Jieyu, to become a temporary rank to rank. The leader of the martial artist's mansion was Wudang Zhenren Yu Xingrui, who had just entered to to the city to to to to be to to to to to the Guannei Lingzhou, to be................ The three grandmasters leisurely practicing boxing together in the open space of the vassal king's mansion. Perhaps it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Bai Yu, who stood side by side with the young vassal king, looked straight ahead and said with a smile, "Your Highness, in addition to the three in front of you, according to the intelligence of the torture chamber, the three grandmasters of Nanjiang, Mao Shulang, Cheng Baishuang, and Ji Liu 'an are also on their way to North Jieyu. It seems that the number one master of Nanzhao, Wei Miao, did not follow his wife back to her hometown after leaving the mountain. Most likely, they are also coming to North Jieyu. Although the blind Xishu guqin master, Xue Songguan, is missing, but Han Laoshan also sent a secret message to Lazikou at the border of Lingzhou, this woman also did not follow the former Crown Prince of Western Shu, Su Su, to the south. As for the likes of Jin Cuo Dao Manor Master Tong Shanquan and the Snow House Spear Saint Li Chonghou, there are also more than a handful of people coming here to join in the fun. Your Highness, are you planning to hold a new martial arts assembly for the head of the Huishan family in Great Snow Plateau? "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "After joining in the fun, everyone will go back home. What else can I do? Can I persuade these martial arts grandmasters to go to the battlefield to kill the barbarians? Didn't your junior brother, Qi Xianxia, say that he will go to the Earth Lung Mountain immediately? Moreover, killing enemies on the battlefield has nothing to do with Jianghu. "
Mr. White Lotus shamelessly retorted, "If I remember correctly, during the ten-year siege of Xiangfan City, countless Jianghu warriors helped Wang Ming Yang to resist your Xu family's troops."
Hsu Fengnian helplessly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. White Lotus is right."
Bai Yu jokingly said, "Don't, I'm not the Transport Commissioner who dares to punch Your Highness. So Your Highness doesn't need to be so careful to please Your Highness."
Hsu Fengnian laughed with a fake smile. It was obvious that he had learned most of the essence from Jia Jiajia. "Bai Yu, you're lucky that you're not a Jianghu person. Otherwise, I'd have to exchange pointers with you."
Bai Yu suddenly changed the topic and asked softly, "Can I ask about the movements of Groom Yu and Lou Huang, Wang Xianzhi's two disciples?"
Hsu Fengnian didn't hide anything and said, "Lou Huang is by Li Hanlin's side. As for Groom Yu, you guess."
Bai Yu's heart beat faster. "Then it's the same as Xu Yanbing who is hiding in Huaiyang Pass. I understand. Your Highness, there's something I don't know if I should say. "
Hsu Fengnian didn't leave any leeway and said, "I advise you not to say it."
Bai Yu turned his head and pretended to be surprised. "What? Is there someone who dares to publicly beat up a provincial governor in front of everyone? Moreover, he's the provincial governor of Liangzhou, the only provincial governor in the thirty provinces north and south of Liyang! "
Hsu Fengnian still chuckled. "It's a pity that Mister White Lotus doesn't practice the sword."
Bai Yu smiled knowingly and didn't continue to ask.
He originally wanted to ask if Xie Xi Bian, even though he had Groom Yu by his side, had still died in battle in that corridor, then Hsu Fengnian, the King of Beiliang, wouldn't have a grudge against the general of Liuzhou, Kou Jianghuai.
After all, Bai Yu, Yang Shenxing, and Kou Jianghuai were all people on the same mountain.
Just like how the Deputy Administrator Song Dongming had a close relationship with Wang Linquan, nicknamed "Beiliang's God of Fortune."
It was also like how Chen Xiliang and Yang Guangdou had a close relationship with the Liuzhou army, while Xu Beizhi was friendly with Han Laoshan of Lingzhou and Huangfu Ji of Youzhou.
The process was different, but the result was the same.
Gentlemen made friends, not parties. Scholars gathered together to form a forest. That was just an elegant way of saying that scholars paid more attention to.
How about Zhang Julu as an official? He was almost flawless and close to a saint. However, beside him was Tantanon and Huan Wen. Behind him was Zhao Youling, Wang Xionggui, Yin Maochun, Yuan Guo, and Han Lin, who were important officials from Yong Hui's Spring?
Thirty years of cultivation on the mountain, in the end, it was just cultivating the heart. After Bai Yu left the mountain to become an official, he saw things more clearly than many of the old foxes who had been in the officialdom for decades.
That set of Wudang fist techniques, even if an outsider used it, would still be pleasing to the eye. Bai Yu sighed. "If one could change to a Taoist breathing technique, whether it was the entry chant of the Taoist Temple of Longhu Mountain, the 'Song of Returning to the Truth', or the heart sutra of Wudang Mountain's Jade Pillar Peak, it would allow one's body and spirit to merge, both on the outside and inside. Not to mention how to prolong one's life, it can always cure diseases and strengthen the body. "
Hsu Fengnian nodded. "If you and I have a chance in the future, you should take the lead to promote your position as the Provincial Governor of Liangzhou. I will help you say hello to Wudang Mountain."
Bai Yu suddenly felt a gust of wind blow from the side. Before seeing the face, he heard the voice. The voice was cold, like the winter snow. "Wudang Mountain's Jade Pillar Heart Sutra is hard to say. Can Longhu Mountain's' Song of Returning to the Truth 'be taken out? Even Mount Huishan's last guest elder disdains it. "
Bai Yu looked hard and saw a slightly blurry face. However, the dazzling bright purple color confirmed it.
Bai Yu immediately smiled bitterly and kept quiet out of fear.
Mr. White Lotus was rarely afraid of anyone. For example, he was not afraid of Hsu Fengnian at all. This young vassal king seemed to be incomparably arrogant, but in fact, he was the most reasonable when facing people who were willing to be reasonable.
However, Bai Yu also knew that there were many strange things in this world. There were indeed a small group of people who completely did not like to be reasonable.
Coincidentally, the woman beside Bai Yu belonged to this small group of people. She was the most unreasonable one.
Every time they exchanged letters, Zhao Ningshen, the current leader of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, who lived in seclusion in the Earth Lung Mountain, the first Blessed Enclave of Taoism, would complain in the letter about how arrogant and rude the young woman surnamed Xuanyuan of Mount Hui was. To be able to make Zhao Ningshen, a Taoist priest who was easy to talk to, comment like this, Mount Huishan Ziyi could be considered as a heavenly unreasonable person. After Mount Huishan's reputation soared, first of all, Mount Longhu's pilgrims were not allowed to go up the mountain to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Second of all, all Taoists surnamed Zhao of Mount Longhu were not allowed to come within ten miles of Mount Huishan. Third of all, no Taoist priest of Mount Huishan was allowed to enter her sight. In addition to these three prohibitions, she also let people swagger away dozens of ancient trees that were at least three hundred years old from Mount Longhu. Among them, there were four osmanthus trees and three ancient cypresses. After that, she did not forget to let people leave a bag of broken silver, which was less than ten taels of silver at most. If she was in a bad mood or bored to death, she would even throw a few large objects at Mount Longhu for no apparent reason. Although she didn't hurt anyone, every now and then, a huge object would fly over her head, smashing a huge hole in the ground. As a cultivator, who would be able to endure the peace and quiet on the mountain?
However, Bai Yu was even more well aware that the most painful part of Zhao Ningshen's complaint was the sloppiness in the depths of the heart of the young Leader of Longhu Mountain.
Yearning had long been raised, but there was no place to settle.
A cultivator had a sword of wisdom in his hand, and the threads of love were easy to cut. Unfortunately, some people were unwilling to cut.
Mount Huishan's Taoist Master Mansion was too close to Mount Huishan's Great Snow Plateau.
Only Mount Huishan was neither far nor near. It was just right.
Why did Zhao Ningshen, who was known for his good fortune and was known to be ancient since childhood, have to be so difficult to the new Prince Liang? Was it only because of the previous generation's grievances? Was it only because Xu Xiao led the army to trample Mount Longhu? Of course not.
At this time, when Bai Yu thought of the young leader of Mount Huishan's sorrow and helplessness, he could not help but feel a little sad. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the woman and finally could not help but directly say, "Leader Xuanyuan, do you know Zhao Ningshen …"
