Hsu Fengnian picked up the half packet of soft pastry from the table and walked out of the room to the room where the bandits were locked up. After sitting down, he saw the pitiful man who was first used as a pawn and then abandoned as a pawn. Perhaps he had been drugged with a drug that could soften his muscles and soften his bones. Even now, his face was flushed and his body was weak. Fortunately, no one would come here. Otherwise, if they saw His Royal Highness staying in the same room with this man who looked like a fish on a chopping board, it would be fine if they were alone, but they were two men. What would happen next would probably be very unbearable.
Hsu Fengnian moved a chair and sat by the window. The window was not high, and Hsu Fengnian was tall and straight. He stretched his neck and could see what was going on in the inn's courtyard. He tasted the soft and delicious pastry. Of course, it was not to say that His Royal Highness would help just for a packet of pastry. It was said that only when one was full would they do something boring. At that time, His Royal Highness did not even eat. It was just that Wang Dashi was the only one in the Fish-dragon Gang who was sincerely close to His Royal Highness. There was no utilitarian motive. Moreover, Zhao Yingchuan's behavior was too improper. As for what would happen to Liu Nirong, Hsu Fengnian would not take the lead. This matter was originally the fate of the Fish-dragon Gang, and it was Liu Nirong's destiny as the future leader of the Fish-dragon Gang. To put it bluntly, with His Royal Highness' background, if he was in a hurry to stand up for Liu Nirong, then wouldn't Pei Nanwei just throw a flirtatious glance at him, and Hsu Fengnian would have to bring tens of thousands of cavalrymen to fight with the King of Jing An in the Central Plains?
As the ancient saying goes, 'Kindness begets enmity begets kindness begets kindness begets kindness begets kindness begets hatred'.
Hsu Fengnian slowly ate the pastries, not paying any attention to the bandit's suspicious gaze. He was thinking about the little pawn Wang Dashi, who had just crossed the river. Right now he had nothing left, nothing to worry about, and was willing to die together with Liu Nerong. If he was lucky enough to survive today, after a period of wealth and power, when he had the opportunity to possess the body of the fairy in his heart, Liu Nerong, without having to pay any price, how would he choose? If the answer was yes, then looking back, wouldn't Wang Dashi be a bad person? Hsu Fengnian saw several impatient members of the Fish-dragon Gang trying to stop the horses of the government. One of them was shot in the chest by an arrow and died. Another person's face was cut open by a Beiliang knife from the horse's back. He rolled on the ground and howled. Then he was trampled to death by the horse's hooves by a knight who played a trick on the horse. The Fish-dragon Gang then realized that the enemy had no intention of being reasonable at all. This aroused the blood of the men of Jianghu, and they wanted to fight to the death with the three forces that had broken into the courtyard of the inn one after another. With the archery expert Gongsun Yang providing support upstairs, Liu Nerong escaped death twice. This was also thanks to the fact that Zhou Ziru, who was quite ruthless in horse battles, did not point his spear at her.
Hsu Fengnian swallowed the pastries and found that Wang Dashi was not there. He turned his head and asked vaguely, "What did you do?"
The man's thigh was badly mutilated and his bones could almost be seen. Obviously, he did not have an easy time against Zhao Yingchuan and had a psychological shadow of the young man with the knife. When he heard His Royal Highness' question, he quickly replied, "I robbed and killed a group of Beimang merchants who came to our territory to do fur business. Then we became wanted by Beiliang."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "It seems that the group of merchants has a close relationship with our Beiliang Frontier Army. Did they put you on the list in the name of robbing Beiliang border merchants?"
The man nodded with a sad face and endured the bone-piercing pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, you are a wise man! I heard that there is a new military officer named Guo Yi here. Isn't it because all the officers who lead the troops want to show off their achievements to their new master? We just happened to bump into him. It's bad luck that we are not skilled enough. We can't blame Jianghu for being too deep. "
Hsu Fengnian chuckled and said, "You are quite aware."
The man was afraid that the young master with the knife in front of him would smear the knife on his body without a word, so he quickly found a topic to talk about to divert the pain from his body. This damned knockout drug, you should have used more of it so that he would have fainted. The man's face was twisted because of the pain, and his eyes were slightly cautious as he asked carefully, "Young Master, have you heard of the new military officer named Guo Yi?"
Hsu Fengnian glanced at the scene in the courtyard and still did not see Wang Dashi. He frowned and said, "Wang Dashi, used to be the second master of the Qingshan Villa in the Central Plains. After it was trampled by the Beiliang cavalry, a large group of homeless dogs spent all day thinking about how to fight against the Beiliang Palace. Later, more and more of them died, and almost all of them were wiped out. They had no choice but to learn to be smart and no longer make things difficult for Xu Xiao and the other important figures. They would chop down anyone they saw in the palace with red eyes. Three years ago, there was a servant girl from a poor family who came home to give money to her parents. On the way home, she was kidnapped and taken away. By the time the people from the palace arrived, the girl's entire lower body could not be seen. If I had been there … "
At this point, Hsu Fengnian paused and laughed self-deprecatingly. "It seems that there was nothing we could have done. That military officer Guo Yi betrayed the last group of survivors of the Qingshan Villa and tipped off the palace. As a result, the old master, one of his brothers, and more than 20 relatives who were still alive after hiding for many years, were all killed by the Beiliang cavalry. I also heard that this ruthless guy entered the palace and met the King of Beiliang. Not only was he rewarded with a few martial arts secret manuals from the Tide-listening Pavilion, but he also got a fifth-rank military officer Guo Yi. His luck has changed, and it's true that the old saying in the jianghu is that selling something is better than selling one's brothers. "
The more the man listened, the more frightened he became. He asked uneasily, "Young Master, you're really well-informed. Are you a government official like the young general?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "I'm closer to the Fish-dragon Gang now."
The man's leg bled even more. His hands gripped the arms of the chair tightly, and his head was covered in cold sweat. He forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said respectfully, "Young Master, you have an impressive appearance. I can tell at first glance that you're a man of great fortune. After surviving this disaster, you'll definitely achieve great things."
Hsu Fengnian finally saw Wang Dashi show up in the courtyard downstairs. The Fish-dragon Gang had already lost six or seven hot-blooded men, including the one who had checked into the inn at dusk and spat at the feet of His Royal Highness. He was the last corpse lying on the ground. He was stabbed diagonally in the chest by a spear, and then his head was cut off by another knight who skillfully cooperated with him. If the previous few people fought with their lives on the line, then this guy didn't take his life seriously at all. After all, if he went forward, he would die. With several bloody corpses on the ground as an example, if he ran forward to show off his courage, he would die in vain. When he was killed by a spear and a knife, there was no one beside him except for Liu Nerong. Fortunately, Wang Dashi, whose legs were trembling for a long time, kept punching his legs and even slapped himself twice.
Only then did he finally manage to get his trembling legs to listen to him. He shouted loudly to boost his courage. Halfway through, he picked up the sword of a senior martial brother and charged into the formation. He closed his eyes and slashed wildly. Those people who had killed their way into the inn probably found it funny, so they were not in a hurry to get rid of this kid who did not pose the slightest threat.
Liu Nerong looked around and found no one else except for the enemy. When the members of the Fish-dragon Gang behind her looked at her, they all lowered their heads and retreated in fear.
Upstairs, Gongsun Yang shot thirty-one arrows. At first, he killed four people with six arrows, but none of them were soldiers of the Tumbling Horse Pass. Later, he realized that there was no room to maneuver, so he began to capture the leader first. However, all the arrows were easily caught by the old man raised by the mink woman.
Gongsun Yang knew that even if the old man was not a top master in the Vajra Realm, he was not far from it.
He stroked the big horn bow and then broke the bowstring. Then he slowly went downstairs, limping silently behind Liu Nerong.
Zhou Ziru, who had not dismounted from the beginning, turned his horse around and leisurely and arrogantly circled around with his horse. He looked down at Liu Nerong, who was covered in blood, and the corners of his mouth raised in a gloomy arc, with great satisfaction and pride.
Hsu Fengnian said to himself, "Here he comes."
The man on the chair didn't hear him clearly, so he whispered to himself, "Young master, I snatched a yellowed knife manual a few years ago. I can't read, so I went to a brothel and kept a literate girl for two months. I opened the manual word by word and memorized it. If you want to learn it, you can take me out of the inn, and I can slowly dictate it to you."
