Most of them were acquaintances from Hu Ting County. When they saw the widow Xu Zhihu get off the carriage, they immediately shut their mouths. Compared to their previous attitude of watching a show, after yesterday's incident, the other counties in Hu Ting County were still fine. However, all the well-informed aristocratic families in Yangchun County had long been shocked speechless by the methods of His Highness the Crown Prince. After killing the scholars on the street, he rampaged through the soldiers in the city that were several times more numerous. It was said that he even dismantled the Middle Gate of Lu Manor. That night, he dragged Mr. Chengzhai's corpse into the city and threw it at the gate. What kind of behavior was this? How could this be described as tragic? The elders of the aristocratic families in the city got up in the middle of the night and talked with their old friends under the light. They all lamented that this was the greatest humiliation in Yangzhou in a hundred years. It was said that Lang Jiang Dong Gong Huang, who was the most ruthless in dealing with the aristocratic families, had received orders to bring six hundred elites from the provincial capital to Yangchun today. Who didn't know that Lang Jiang, who killed Gumu Xu's third son as soon as he took office, had a deep relationship with the Yu family? Furthermore, he was General Gu Jiantang's trusted aide in the past.
The gate of the temple was tightly shut. After Xu Fengnian got off the carriage, he saw that there was a small and exquisite square pond in front of the temple. Beside the spring, there were green trees hugging each other, and there was also a strange old pine. Xu Zhihu intimately held his arm and walked over. There were stone dragon heads on each side of the pond. Spring water dripped from the dragon mouths. The water was clear, and the scattered copper coins at the bottom of the pond could be seen clearly. Xu Zhihu picked up a dead branch and crouched down to stir the spring water. When she stopped stirring, a line as thin as a silver thread would appear on the surface of the water. She raised her head and smiled. "Do you see? It's said that this is the scene caused by the mixing of mountain water and spring water. Interesting, isn't it?"
Hsu Fengnian crouched down and wanted to reach into the water to pick up a few copper coins. Xu Zhihu smacked him with the branch and scolded him jokingly, "Have you gone crazy from being so poor?"
Hsu Fengnian still picked up a copper coin and pinched it between two fingers. He chuckled. "I'll save as much as I can."
He stood up. The air outside the temple was fresh and the birds were chirping. He raised his head and saw that the greenery in the temple was higher and higher. He withdrew his gaze. The old pine tree beside him was indeed not vulgar. Its thick trunk twisted left and right, twisting like a crouching dragon. He didn't know if it was the will of the heavens or man. The old God of Swords and Jiang Ni were standing under the tree. the old man with the sheep fur coat sighed. "The will of the heavens are too sentient, but if it was done by man, it would be too heartless....

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Shall I try?"
Xu Zhihu glared at him. "You dare!"
Were.......
When Dumb Qiao saw this, she smiled gently. His Highness the Crown Prince and the Young Miss really loved each other. Perhaps because he was caught laughing, Hsu Fengnian made a face at the little girl. The servant girl was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Xu Zhihu. The little girl's heart was beating like a deer. She didn't seem to be afraid. Instead, she seemed to have been gently scratched by something and couldn't calm down. Xu Zhihu turned his head to look at the little girl who was in a daze. He smiled knowingly. How could there be a girl in the world who didn't like her younger brother? But on the surface, Xu Zhihu still rolled his eyes charmingly at Hsu Fengnian. He waved the branch as if warning him not to fool around in a Buddhist holy land.
The door of the temple slowly opened. The two little monks joined their hands and bowed. It was just that today, the side room was the place where pilgrims and vegetarian meals were provided. After Xu Zhihu and his entourage took their seats, no one else dared to enter. At Xu Fengnian's table, Xu Zhihu was sitting. In addition to the nine bushels of Daoist Mi and Daoist Wei Shuyang, there was also an empty stool. The maidservant Er Qiao and the military general Ning Emei were both standing. Princess Consort Jingan knew her place, and in addition to the fact that she had been terribly bullied on the way here, she was even more unwilling to sit down. Xu Zhihu was a person who liked crowds. He asked Jiang Ni, who was sitting at the next table, to call her over. The little mud girl hesitated for a moment, but didn't refuse. When she approached, Xu Zhihu pulled her over to sit beside him. He smiled and said, "Jiang Ni, you're really getting prettier as you grow up. You were already pretty when you were young. Back then, you were the only one who could compare with Fengnian. At first, I was worried that a girl would change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. I was afraid that you wouldn't be pretty when you grew up, but now it seems that I was worried for nothing. Come, tell sister whether Fengnian bullied you or not."
The little mud girl was quite a shrewish girl in front of His Royal Highness and the old God of Swords. At this moment, her face was red and she didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "Your face is red. It's rare, rare."
Jiang Ni didn't glare at him angrily, but she lifted her foot and stomped on him.
His Royal Highness lifted his foot and laughed, "I'll hide, I'll hide. You want to fight with me?"
With Xu Zhihu present, Jiang Ni didn't make any verbal moves.
Xu Zhihu laughed softly, "It seems like you're often bullied. Don't worry, I'll help you take care of him later. "
The little mud girl lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian muttered, "Is it my sister or her sister?"
Xu Zhihu raised his hand and pretended to hit her, but His Royal Highness leaned to the side. She lovingly stroked Jiang Ni's slender shoulders, "Jiang Ni, I heard that after leaving Beiliang, you've been reading for this scoundrel? This is a good thing. During this period of time, if you come to read Wang Dongxiang's' The First Snow 'to your sister, the price will be doubled. It will all come from that guy's pocket. He won't dare to not pay. "
Jiang Ni raised her head and grunted heavily. It was the first time she smiled this month.
Hsu Fengnian ruined the mood and teased, "Dimples, two little dimples. Haha, I saw it! Fine, double the price is double. It's worth it. "
Jiang Ni immediately put on a straight face, but there was still a smile in her eyes. Naturally, it was all because of Xu Zhihu. It had nothing to do with that scoundrel.
Xu Zhihu laughed, "Our little Jiang Ni looks the best when she smiles. No girl in the world can compare to her. That's why you have to smile more, you won't age easily. "
An old man wearing a sheepskin coat sitting at the next table with his legs crossed laughed, "Little Xu, your sister didn't give birth to this body for nothing. Her heart is much better than yours."
Xu Zhihu hugged the little mud girl, turned his head and smiled charmingly, "Just because of Sword God Li's words, I'll give you ten jars of good wine."
The old Sword God gave a thumbs up and praised, "Heroic! This Old Man will definitely drink this wine. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you in Gangnam-do these days, This Old Man will be the first to go against them. "
Hsu Fengnian was vexed, "Why do I feel like I'm not a good person?"
Jiang Ni, who was in Xu Zhihu's arms, laughed, "You just realized."
Hsu Fengnian was pleasantly surprised, "Look, you have dimples again!"
Jiang Ni turned her head and was about to put on a straight face when Xu Zhihu gently poked her little dimple that could make all the men in the world drunk. She lowered her head and teased, "You cute girl. Sister is willing to let that guy leave Gangnam-do, but I can't bear to let you go."
Hsu Fengnian stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table in front of Jiang Ni. After retracting his hand, it was the copper coin that he picked up from the spring water. He shamelessly said, "I'll give it to you. Isn't that heroic?"
Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment. Probably because of Xu Zhihu's face, she reached out and took the copper coin and held it in her hand.
After the vegetarian meal was served, Xu Zhihu ate the wonton and said, "Today there's a debate at Baoguo Temple. Do you want to listen?"
Hsu Fengnian said indifferently, "Up to you."
Xu Zhihu emphasized, "You can listen, but you're not allowed to fight or kill."
Hsu Fengnian buried his head in a vegetarian bun and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang Xi will definitely keep an eye on me."
After breakfast, Xu Zhihu took him to see the peonies in Baoguo Temple. Jiang Ni and Li Chungang walked at the back. The little mud man took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and opened his palm. He peeked at the sweaty copper coin and then quickly clenched it tightly like a thief.
The old God of Swords who seemed to be looking left and right sighed in his heart. Mother, you silly girl. You're going to be eaten alive for the rest of your life.
Could it be that a small copper coin is more valuable than This Old Man's lifetime of swordsmanship?
