As they ascended the mountain, green bamboo lined the path, and a cool breeze blew. Qing Niao draped a fox fur coat over Xu Fengnian, which was out of season. Xu Fengnian was tall and slender, and his skin was excellent. As a result, it added a lot of otherworldly aura to this Young Master, making him look like a wild fox.
Princess Jing 'an, Pei Nanwei, and the Murong siblings followed closely behind. The old God of Swords Li Chungang stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard the carriage, so he did not follow them. This allowed Shu Xiu to leave her post to guard the carriage for once. While admiring the sea of bamboo, she quietly observed the back of that figure from a close distance. When Pei Nanwei saw a small lake as clear as a mirror halfway up the mountain, she was quite amazed. Especially when she saw that there was a house built in the middle of the lake. On the lakeside, there was a delicate bamboo raft made of Nanzhu. The green bamboos reflected the scenery and the sound of the bamboo rustling in the wind. It was like a fairyland.
Hsu Fengnian did not intend to disturb the owner of the bamboo house in the middle of the lake. He walked straight to the beautiful and graceful bamboo by the lakeside. With a gentle tap of his toes, the bamboo would rather break than bend. It had always been compared by scholars to have a strong moral integrity. At this moment, under Hsu Fengnian's feet, the bamboo bent meekly and extended toward the lake in a subtle arc. When Hsu Fengnian stopped, the bamboo was still more than two zhang above the lake. Hsu Fengnian suddenly thought of Wang Chuxue's words. Was it the sound of the people's suffering last night when the rain knocked on the bamboo? He wondered if this little girl, who had just experienced her first awakening of love, was doing well recently. He stood on the bamboo and looked into the distance. Smoke rose from the bamboo house in the center of the lake. After he left the Martial Emperor City and woke up, he received a secret letter from Chu Lushan.
When Xu Fengnian heard that the bull-riding fellow had finally left the mountain, he had already amazed the world with a single brilliant feat. He rode a crane to Jiangnan and rescued Eldest Sister from Yuan Tingshan's clutches. Not to mention, he even rode Ancestor Lu's sword and flew to Mount Longhu. He was thousands of li away from Zhao Huangchao and left behind a few words. Nine of the Dragon Pond's Lotus of Fortune had withered, which shook the world. He could not be more immortal. Xu Fengnian also did not know what relationship this fellow had with Ancestor Lu, Qi Xuanzhen. To His Highness the Crown Prince, as long as this coward was wholeheartedly devoted to Eldest Sister and was liked by Eldest Sister, so what if you, Hong Xixiang, were just a nameless road sweeper on Mount Wudang? The Xu family dominated Beiliang, swallowing tens of thousands of li. Three hundred thousand cavalrymen faced off against the huge Beimang Dynasty. They naturally had the courage to match their family background.
After receiving this shocking news that was said to be discussed even in the palace, he finally had some clues as to why Zhao Xuansu would kill. Zhao Huangchao of Kuanglu Mountain, Yuan Tingshan of Mount Huishan, Eldest Sister of Gangnam-do was assassinated, the young chief Hong Xixiang went to Wudang, the Taoist Master Residence's Dragon Pond, the birth of Zhao Xuansu of Mount Longhu, and the disturbance in the Martial Emperor City. Although there were definitely many hidden secrets and schemes, the main threads were probably not far off.
After Hsu Fengnian came back to his senses, he caught a glimpse of Murong Wuzhu's rosy cheeks from the corner of his eyes. She was standing by the lake and peeping at him. He thought it was funny and asked, "I heard that Wang Xianzhi of the Martial Emperor City has a tall and sturdy figure. He has big ears and round eyes, a beard like a halberd, white hair like snow, and a very fierce aura. He only wears hemp clothes during the cold and summer, but he wears a fur coat during the rainy and snowy weather. He likes to go to the East Sea to hunt Jiao Whales. Those who are timid would feel their liver and guts shatter just by looking at him. "
This question put Murong Wuzhu in a difficult position. She blushed and said softly, "Wuzhu left the city with Your Highness at that time. We left in a hurry and couldn't see clearly. I hope Your Highness can forgive me."
Hsu Fengnian comforted her gently, "I'm just saying it casually. Don't be nervous."
Other than Murong Wuzhu, among the three people, Pei Nanwei was very prickly. She didn't have the slightest awareness that she was a sparrow in a cage. She opposed him in almost everything. She felt that she was even more arrogant than the Princess Jing 'an in Xiangfan City. However, Shu Xiu had been suppressing her recently. She finally became a little more adept at serving people. Although her expression was ugly, it was only so-so. Emperor Murong Tonghuang's temperament was gloomy. He seemed to have a deformed addiction to power. Hsu Fengnian guessed that the fact that he was the hereditary King of Beiliang was far more intimidating than his own words and deeds. Hsu Fengnian didn't like Emperor Murong Tonghuang's shrewdness. As for Shu Xiu, she was a woman who had cultivated the ways of the world. She had been in Jianghu and the Prince's Mansion for a long time. She had already cut her pure and kind heart into pieces and fed it to the dogs. Since the life of this beautiful woman with boundless beauty was even more important than the flesh on her chest, Hsu Fengnian could hook his finger and they could have sex. However, it was unknown who would take advantage of who at that time. Hsu Fengnian was not that thirsty.
Murong Wuzhu looked at His Royal Highness who was standing on the green bamboo. Her eyes were overflowing with undisguised admiration and reverence. Her feelings and thoughts were far simpler and clearer than her brother Murong Tonghuang. Hsu Fengnian had saved them from the abyss of suffering. Whether she saw injustice on the road or pushed the boat with the current, she firmly remembered this great kindness. Along the way from the Great Bull Gang in Jianzhou, her emotions rose and fell because of the young heir in front of her. Especially in the Martial Emperor City, he walked to the top of the city wall with a bowl in his hand and sat cross-legged. He was so romantic and elegant that Murong Wuzhu felt drunk as if she had drunk a pot of good wine. Until now, she still hadn't recovered. Outside the Martial Emperor City, Hsu Fengnian drew his saber and cut open the body of the ancestor of Mount Longhu. She was even more frightened when she saw that. She only had one thought at that time. If he unfortunately died, she didn't want to live. Murong Tonghuang glanced at his sister from the corner of his eyes. He just looked at her with cold eyes.
Hsu Fengnian gathered his fur and was about to go down the mountain. Suddenly, he saw the bamboo door in the center of the lake slowly open. A woman whose figure could only be vaguely seen from the lakeside walked out. Even though it was vague, it still made people's hearts race. Hsu Fengnian had a few people around him, including Murong Tonghuang, who was also a peerless beauty, not to mention Pei Nanwei, who was a beauty in rouge. However, when the woman appeared in the field of vision, it seemed that half of her charm was taken away in an instant. The woman in the bamboo house in the center of the lake, wearing a wooden hairpin and plain clothes, walked to the mossy stone steps near the lake and squatted down. She picked up a handful of water with both hands and gently moistened her cheeks. Then, she turned her head and looked at Hsu Fengnian from afar.
She didn't make a sound. She just quietly looked at this group of uninvited guests. She was always an orchid in a secluded valley, aloof from the world. Hsu Fengnian, who was wearing a brocade fox fur coat, was stunned. A trace of absent-mindedness flashed through his eyes. For the first time, he was hesitant. Pei Nanwei wrinkled her brows. She was faintly unhappy. It was not that she wanted to be jealous of this strange woman, but she had always been proud of her own beauty. She rarely met a match. The woman in the bamboo house had appeared out of nowhere. In the end, Princess Jing An felt an instinctive sense of crisis. Sure enough, as long as there were people, there was no Jianghu. Hsu Fengnian let out a long breath. He waved his hand to signal Shu Xiu and the others not to make any moves. He leaped from the bamboo pole under his feet to the bamboo raft. There was no need to row the raft. The bamboo raft cut through the water and leisurely sailed toward the center of the lake. The bamboo raft stopped three zhang away from the bamboo house. The woman stood up and looked at Hsu Fengnian. Her hair was wet from the lake water and stuck to her cheeks. A few drops of water slid down her delicate snow-white skin. She reached out to wipe the water stains on her chin. She didn't say anything.
Hsu Fengnian took the initiative to speak. He smiled and said, "I saw you three years ago on the banks of the Luo River. But at that time, I was squeezed into a group of young chivalrous men who wanted to express their love for you. I squeezed for a long time before I finally made a bloody path. When I finally emerged, I was tripped by someone and fell flat on my face. I guess you didn't notice me. "
She thought for a moment and calmly said, "I remember that at that time you were wearing thin clothes."
It was an unexpected answer. Hsu Fengnian said self-deprecatingly, "Thin clothes? I was clearly a beggar in rags. It's a blessing of three lifetimes to be able to catch the attention of Miss."
She saw that Hsu Fengnian wanted to say something but hesitated. She smiled and said, "My name is Chen Yu."
Sure enough!
There was a woman on the Rouge List who was "not inferior to Nangong." She was a beauty who was on par with Bai Hu 'er.
Hsu Fengnian's face was gentle, humble, and shy. He softly asked, "Miss Chen lives here alone?"
She smiled and nodded without any ulterior motives.
Hsu Fengnian responded with an "Oh" and gently jumped onto the shore. The next scene shocked the people on the lakeside. They saw His Royal Highness bend down and carry the bamboo girl. They jumped onto the bamboo raft and left the center of the lake.
She bent her slender waist and her head was pressed against His Royal Highness' chest. Hsu Fengnian looked down and the two of them happened to look at each other. She undoubtedly had a pair of eyes full of spiritual energy. His Royal Highness was known to wander among the flowers for more than 20 years and had never tasted defeat. He had seen countless women and had seen all kinds of stunning beauties. But this pair of eyes was the only one that could be compared with his second sister Xu Weixiong. The eyes on Bai Hu 'er's face were too cold, just like his saber Embroidered Winter Spring Thunder in the past. She was incomparably heroic, not delicate and gentle. At this moment, she looked up and stared at His Royal Highness who was extremely daring. There was no shock, fear, or shyness in her eyes. There was a hint of anger hidden in the bottom of her eyes, which was enough to make ordinary lechers feel ashamed and hang themselves with their own hair. Unfortunately, she met Hsu Fengnian who was used to being lawless.
Hsu Fengnian lowered his head and squinted his eyes. He smiled brightly and heroically said, "I promised to snatch one of the most beautiful women for my brother to be his wife. Sister-in-law, we will be a family in the future!"
The woman who had been expressionless finally showed astonishment.
It was not strange that there were rich sons who snatched women on the street and bandits who kidnapped beautiful women to be their wives. But there was actually a bastard who snatched a beauty to be his sister-in-law in this world?
Shu Xiu, who was experienced in the ways of the world, blinked her eyes and raised the corner of her mouth. He could even snatch a woman in such a domineering manner. He was indeed the Heir of Beiliang.
