Hsu Fengnian led a group of valiant cavalry back to the mansion and arrived at the courtyard where the Old Man lived. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a table full of delicacies. It was obvious that he was a man who would not be happy without meat and wine.
The Old Man's figure was like a small mountain. Even though he was sitting, his aura was astonishing. Moreover, he had two chains and two knives. The servants hid in the courtyard and did not dare to approach him. When the Old Man saw Hsu Fengnian, he immediately asked, "Kid, did Ninth Brother Huang go to the Martial Emperor City to fight Old Immortal Wang?"
Xu Fengnian nodded with a lonely expression. He sat on the stool opposite Old Kui, whose hair was as white as snow, and said nothing.
The Old Warrior laughed, "Kid, I didn't expect you to be a nostalgic master. In this aspect, you are much kinder than your father. Xu Xiao, that butcher, not only is full of tricks, he is also sanctimonious. We can share trials and tribulations together, but if you want to share riches and honor together, then you are pulling your mother's eggs. Hey, kid, are you angry? With your mediocre skills, you want to fight with me? Without Ninth Brother Huang, the Northern Liang Mansion will only be able to fight grandfather if they call out the remaining experts who are hiding in the shadows. "
Hsu Fengnian curled his lips and muttered, "Now that Old Huang is gone, you dare to call yourself the king of the mountain when there are no tigers."
The Old Man's ears were sharp, but he was not angry. He said calmly, "If you can't beat him, then you can't beat him. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Ninth Brother Huang's swordsmanship is almost on par with Đồng Thái, who likes to play tricks with a peach blossom branch.
There are so many people who learn swordsmanship in the world. Even the Wu family's Sword Tomb has not produced a swordsman who can fight Old Immortal Wang in the past thirty years. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. Since I was born, other than Đồng Thái who can fight Old Immortal Wang to a draw, only Ninth Brother Huang is slightly inferior to him. In the whole world, the number of people who use swords can be counted with two hands. "
The Old Man's words made Hsu Fengnian have a good impression of him. He felt that the Old Man was indeed an expert. How could ordinary people have such breadth of mind? No wonder there were only a handful of experts in the world. It was excusable that he could not become an expert.....
But just as Xu Fengnian started to admire him, Old Kui's words ruined the image of an expert that he had inadvertently built up. "Kid, where can you find a more spacious toilet? Grandpa can't get used to sitting in the lavatory inlaid with gold and jade. I've been stuck at the bottom of the lake for all these years, and I can't even relieve myself when I want to. ................................... You can probably smell it from miles away. Haha! "
Looking at the Old Man, whose mouth was still stuffed with barbecued meat, he wanted to go to the outhouse to smoke people. Hsu Fengnian's face was stiff and twitching. He got up and called for the servants to lead the old man, who was mopping the floor with chains and giant sabers, to the outhouse. His Royal Highness quickly ran away like the wind. Along the way, he kept cursing, "Expert your mother."
Wutong Garden was the place where Hsu Fengnian grew up. Because of the ancient saying, "A phoenix does not rest unless it is a tree."
The great pillar of the country, Xu Xiao, always liked to say earnestly, "Son, when your mother gave birth to you, she had a dream that a phoenix entered her stomach. You are a natural talent. If I don't love you, who should I love?"
At first, Hsu Fengnian would refute, "Then why didn't any expert say that I was a martial arts prodigy?". Xu Xiao would explain, "True experts are those who are not willing to move once they take root in a place. Look at Wang Xianzhi and those old swordsmen of the Wu family's Sword Tomb. Which one of them would come out and claim to be an expert? Those who come out to make a living are all liars. How could they see through my son's natural talent? "
After Hsu Fengnian's ears grew calluses, he simply ignored this. He felt that as the heir of the only prince with a different surname in the dynasty, he didn't need to roll up his sleeves and beat people up. However, in his heart, he was still a little envious of those heroes who jumped onto roofs and vaulted over walls and competed on the roofs of the city walls when they had nothing to do.
As for now, after seeing the godly skills of Horsekeeper Old Huang and the white-haired Old Man, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had heard that in the jianghu, there were only a handful of immortal couples. The man's skill was unparalleled, and the woman's martial arts were unparalleled. When had he ever heard of the man being handsome and the woman having unparalleled martial arts?
When Hsu Fengnian entered Wutong Garden, his gloomy mood lightened. A maidservant named Blue Bird came up to greet him. Her delicate arm was embroidered with precious Shu embroidery, and the "Six Year Phoenix" spear falcon was perched on it. When she saw His Royal Highness, she smiled sweetly and said, "Young master, Sweet Potato has already warmed the bed. Green Ant is lying on the chessboard, waiting for young master to play with her."
Hsu Fengnian stretched out a finger to tease the spear falcon. He smiled as he entered the room. Outside the room, two beautiful maidservants had already taken off his outer robe for him.
There were a total of more than twenty maidservants in Wutong Garden. The maidservants originally had elegant names like "Red Musk" or "Brother Parrot." However, after His Royal Highness returned from his travels, other than Blue Bird, who was a little luckier, most of the others had their names changed. Even the maidservant Red Musk, who had always been favored by His Royal Highness because of her delicate fragrance, was not spared. Her name was changed to the unbearably vulgar "Sweet Potato." There were others who were even more unlucky. For example, Bai Gan, who had the same name as liquor. The most unlucky one was a maidservant who had received the name "Cucumber" because she liked yellow clothes.
After entering the inner room, Hsu Fengnian jumped onto the bed and burrowed into the blankets. He hugged a beautiful woman in her prime. The entire blanket was filled with fragrance. After a few more days, it would be even more magical. As long as the girl in his arms walked out of the door, she would attract bees and butterflies. She was the eldest maidservant Sweet Potato.
As for the maidservant who was good at Go, she was called Lu Yi. She was known as the female national chess player of Beiliang Palace. Some of the officials who were good at chess would have a headache when they met her. Usually, there were seventeen Go boards. Changing seventeen to nineteen was another great feat of Hsu Fengnian's second sister. It had caused a huge uproar in the dynasty. In the end, she was first accepted by Shangyin Academy and became the mainstream of famous scholars.
Hsu Fengnian played a game with Lu Yi. He was absent-minded and naturally lost badly.
Actually, he wasn't bad at chess. Even his master, Li Yishan, had commented that his vision was excellent, but he was reluctant to lay out the details, and his strength was lacking. Although this didn't sound like a compliment, it was a great honor to hear it coming from Li Yishan's mouth.
Of course, Hsu Fengnian could not be considered a Go master. The true national chess player was Hsu Fengnian's second sister, Xu Weixiong. She was a valiant figure who made the so-called famous scholar, Mu Yehu, feel ashamed of his inferiority.
Hsu Fengnian pushed away the game that had already ended and lay on the bed. He let the head maidservant, Sweet Potato, rub his temples. The second maidservant, Lu Yi, saw that her master was not in a good mood and did not dare to disturb him. Hsu Fengnian stood up and said, "All of you leave first. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter, not even Xu Xiao."
Sweet Potato was born with a voluptuous body and fair skin. Coupled with her innate body fragrance and elegant mannerisms, she didn't deliberately compete for attention. Instead, she was the most favored one. When she got off the bed, Xu Fengnian smiled and patted her buttocks. She blushed and looked back with a charming smile.
After the maidservants left, Hsu Fengnian immediately sat up straight and took out what could probably be called a sword manual. This was Old Huang's life's work. Even if Hsu Fengnian had no interest in martial arts, he had to treat it seriously. He hid it in a box made of unknown material under the bed.
In order to open the box, one had to move seventy-two small compartments without missing a step. The box was extraordinarily hard. Even if one tried to hack it with a sword, one would not be able to get what was inside. Hsu Fengnian's movements were skillful. He could open the box even with his eyes closed. He put the sword manual inside and pushed the box back into the secret compartment under the bed. Only then did he lie down on the big bed.
