Xue Songguan also shook her head: "I can't let him continue to think that 'Su Su is useless'!"
Hsu Fengnian blurted out: "Have you ever thought about what Su Su wants, and what she wants the most?"
Xue Songguan turned her head. She, who was blind, gently 'looked' at the young King.
Hsu Fengnian was suddenly speechless.
What was the difference between the things he had done and this seemingly unreasonable and stubborn woman?
Hsu Fengnian let out a heavy breath and bitterly smiled: "Then stay."
Xue Songguan nodded.
The two continued to move forward. Hsu Fengnian suddenly said: "At this moment, Shortcake must be jealous."
Xue Songguan smiled knowingly. Her face was full of gentleness.
Hsu Fengnian snorted: "Miss Xue, you actually fell for a guy like Shortcake, really …"
The young King did not continue. Xue Songguan smiled: "Your Highness wants to say that you are blind, but I am a blind person."
Hsu Fengnian was a bit embarrassed.
Hsu Fengnian stopped as if he was struck by lightning. His body stiffened.
Xue Songguan frowned. She did not turn around, but she already felt three powerful auras behind her. One of them was so majestic that it was suffocating.
A young man and a young woman. Both of them had shocking bloodstains on their bodies.
A middle-aged man holding an iron spear walked towards Hsu Fengnian and Xue Songguan.
Xu Fengnian slowly turned around and looked at the three people who were supposed to be at Huaiyang Pass. Xu Yanbing, the current Sword Crown of the Wu family's Sword Tomb, Wu Liuding, and Sword Attendant Cuihua.
Xu Yanbing smiled: "Don't worry, the outer city of Huaiyang Pass is still there."
Hsu Fengnian was relieved, but his face was still dignified.
Xu Yanbing explained: "It was Chu Lushan who wanted the three of us to go back to North Resisting City. He said that eighty Wu Swordsmen would be enough. The three of us can only stare at each other all day long. It's meaningless. It's better to go back to North Resisting City."
Hsu Fengnian was about to speak, but Wu Liuding already impatiently said: "You know what kind of character Fatty Chu is. If he is determined to drive us away, I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat in Huaiyang Pass. Actually, what Chu Lushan said is not wrong. Eighty Sword Mound's cavalry should be enough to deliver intelligence at the moment."
Xu Yanbing glared at the young Sword Mound, who spoke without thinking, and the latter shut his mouth resentfully.
Xu Yanbing said in a low voice: "Chu Lushan said that Beiliang will definitely win at Crone Mountain. Next, the Liuzhou Border Army will go all the way north to Xijing. Beimang's army will have to speed up their attack on North Resisting City. It's a gamble to see who can break through their nest faster. Chu Lushan also said that as long as North Resisting City can hold on until the winter snow melts, his Huaiyang Pass will be able to hold on until next spring. "
Hsu Fengnian breathed a sigh of relief: "Since he said so, then I don't have to worry about the rear."
Hsu Fengnian had people lead Wu Liuding, swordsman Cuihua, and Officer Xue to the side rooms of the three halls, while he and Xu Yanbing went to the study.
After Xu Yanbing entered the study, he said in a low voice: "Chu Lushan said something at the end. He asked you to remember that if you still want our Beiliang Border Army to have the last laugh, then the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the two heavy cavalry cannot be used in this battle!"
Hsu Fengnian was silent.
In the end, Chu Lushan just didn't want the Beiliang cavalry to die on the way to Huaiyang Pass.

Bai Yu personally saw Qi Xianxia out of the city. Mister White Lotus wasn't good at riding, so he sat in a carriage and Qi Xianxia followed on horseback.
The carriage stopped north of the river crossing bridge. Bai Yu got off the carriage and Qi Xianxia led the horse forward. The two walked to the middle of the wooden bridge together.
Qi Xianxia couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come to North Resisting City to be the provincial governor of Liangzhou? Why didn't you stay in Liangzhou?"
Bai Yu rested his elbows on the bridge railing and propped up his chin. Looking at the slowly flowing river, he said calmly, "On the one hand, if we stay in the Liangzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, we have to depend on others' whims and whims. We're firmly suppressed by Song Dongming, the Deputy Administrator overseeing Mount Qingliang. Rather than fighting in close quarters on a chess game that we're bound to lose and making us look ugly, it's better to switch to a different chessboard. Of course, this reason is far-fetched and is only used to convince myself. Even a layman like you might not be willing to believe it. In fact, the reason why I chose to follow the new Liang Prince to North Resisting City, other than hoping to become a more trusted official than Song Dongming, was also selfish. "
Qi Xianxia frowned: "Selfish?"
Bai Yu turned his head slightly and asked with a face full of smiles: "Do you know what a scholar's ambition is?"
Qi Xianxia, who was already in a bad mood, snorted and said unhappily: "A boorish man like me doesn't understand the ambition of scholars like you!"
Bai Yu blinked. "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to?"
Qi Xianxia kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
Bai Yu didn't want to get to the bottom of it and looked at the river again. However, he took a step back, shook his sleeves, and straightened his clothes.
"In an era, in a country, someone has to stand out resolutely at a certain moment and stand in a certain position. Just stand there! Not one step back! "
"As long as you stand there, you have an unshirkable responsibility!"
"On the battlefield, Liu Jinu of Hutou City and Wei Jingtang of Hengshui City were like this. In the court, Zhang Julu was even more so! "
"Now, it's the turn of the new Prince of Liang, Hsu Fengnian!"
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. "I don't care what Hsu Fengnian's goal was or what his original intentions were, but in the end, he chose to stand there. In any case, I, Bai Yu, only look at the results and don't ask for the reasons! Therefore, I also chose to stand here. Whether it's merits or demerits, allow me to die and let your descendants judge. "
Bai Yu laughed and said, "I don't like it when the later generations depict this soul-stirring war. I don't like it when the scholars of the later generations flip through that book and discover that in the end, not a single scholar died here!"
Qi Xianxia sighed softly.
Bai Yu suddenly said sadly: "In the past, I didn't feel much, but now I'm beginning to realize that in the conversations of the officials of the Central Plains, there's a lot of mockery towards Beiliang. Those condescending and pointing fingers are so detestable."
Qi Xianxia suddenly mounted his horse and said in a low voice: "Let's go! If I listen any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave either! "
Bai Yu laughed loudly: "Go, go, go back to your Central Plains!"
As expected, Qi Xianxia squeezed his horse's belly and urged it to leave.
Bai Yu didn't continue to watch Qi Xianxia leave. In any case, he couldn't see clearly, so he didn't want to waste his energy.
Bai Yu suddenly slapped the railing of the bridge and sang loudly: "The wind blows! My Beiliang is strong! "

Wang Linquan, who was jokingly called Beiliang's God of Fortune, left Mount Qingliang Wutongin with a smile after seeing his daughter Wang Chudong.
However, when there was no one around, Wang Linquan's smile faded. This old man, who was the wealthiest person in Qingzhou and the wealthiest person in Beiliang and Beiliang, was only left with a face full of exhaustion.
Xu Weixiong had privately told him something. As Wang Chudong's father, he couldn't refuse, but as an old soldier of the Xu family, he couldn't rest easy.
