Hsu Fengnian walked out of the village and glanced back. He recalled that his master Li Yishan had mentioned the various states of the marketplace in the "Sword's Resolve Chapter", which roughly meant that he saw a few sparks while traveling in his humble home. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was the weaver using the lamp to embroider. Thinking of this, His Royal Highness smiled. When he was young, he would often spend several hundred taels of silver to buy poems, but what he bought were all sentimental poems. Looking back now, it was still Li Yishan's poems, which were similar to the congee and vinegar cabbage in Xu Qing's house, that warmed his stomach.
Seeing that there was no one around, His Royal Highness's Qi suddenly surged. Like a flying swan stepping on snow, he swept toward Tuma Pass. Of course, Huangfu Jin had true talent and knowledge. The key was that he was ruthless enough. After all, his family was ruined and he could disown his own family. Only then did he have the qualifications to be a chess piece to break the game. But what really moved His Highness the Crown Prince was Huangfu Jin's trick of swapping his son's body. He probably knew that his son's personality was simple and honest and would not be able to support the future of the Huangfu family. Or perhaps he felt guilty towards his elder brother, so he decisively chose to let his only son die in place of his nephew, Huangfu Qingfeng. Such a ruthless and chilling Jianghu tyrant would be like a fish in water even if he entered the big dye vat of officialdom.
If it was too big, for example, General Huaihua, who held the Tiger Tally and commanded half of the military power in Youzhou, it would probably cause a fierce backlash from the military of Youzhou. If it was too small, for example, General Huaihua, who held the Tiger Tally and commanded half of the military power in Youzhou, it would probably cause a fierce backlash from the military of Youzhou. If it was too small, for example, General Huaihua, who held the Tiger Tally and commanded half of the military power in Youzhou, he would be ostracized and isolated. No one would be willing to listen to him even if his mouth was full of blisters. Therefore, the Crown Prince of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion weighed the pros and cons and threw out a Captain Guo Yi. As for Youzhou Province, each position would be scrambled for fiercely. However, for the father and son of Lord King of Northern Liang who always looked on coldly, it was not as simple as an honest official taking a position and a corrupt official getting out of here.
If honest officials were mediocre officials, or corrupt officials were capable officials, which one would be more beneficial to Beiliang? For example, in the Tuma Pass incident this time, Hsu Fengnian, as His Royal Highness, appreciated the means of Zhou Ziru and his son more than Han Tao, who saved the Fish-dragon Gang. But in this case, should he let the former stay? If this Vice Captain Zhe Chong had an inextricable relationship with the one surnamed Chen, which would be beneficial to Tuma Pass, but would be a hidden danger to Beiliang Xu family, how should they deal with it? Everything would affect the situation as a whole. Everyone had their own background and connections. The whole Beiliang was entangled in a mess. How could Hsu Fengnian clean it up with just a few moves?
Saint Zhang Fuzi was famous for saying that governing a country was like cooking a small fish. For those in power, it was just a beautiful and easy thing to say.
Hsu Fengnian approached Tuma Pass and slowed down. When he arrived at the inn, he knew that the Fish-dragon Gang had already gone to the pass. He hurriedly trotted over. Seeing the gang members who had been waiting for a long time, Hsu Fengnian smiled apologetically and took the reins from Wang Dashi. The group smoothly passed the pass today. What made the Fish-dragon Gang unhappy was that not only Zhou Ziru, who had led troops to kill people last night, but also Vice Captain Zhe Chong, Zhou Xian, had come to see them off personally. On the contrary, Han Xiaowei, who was supposed to be the Fish-dragon Gang's biggest protective talisman, was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Qiang continued to walk side by side with Liu Nerong. He observed the expression of this proud disciple and glanced at Hsu Fengnian behind him. He said softly, "Last night, Xu Ziru killed a soldier at Tuma Pass. It seemed that I let him take the blame, but in fact, I wanted to use Tuma Pass to test the depth of the Lingzhou Family of Generals. If you don't even know the background of the other party, it will not be safe to do such a big business. Nerong, you have to understand my good intentions."
Liu Nerong said expressionlessly, "Second Gang Leader is too serious. Liu Nerong naturally understands your intentions."
Hearing the cold and distant title of Second Gang Leader, a touch of displeasure appeared in Xiao Qiang's eyes. However, seeing that she did not hold on to his desertion, he forced himself to endure it. If he did not have this much self-control, how could he have been the Second Gang Leader for the past 20 years? He, Xiao Qiang, was like a grasshopper tied to the same string as the Fish-dragon Gang. In the future, if he wanted to live a comfortable life with his family, he would have to deal with Liu Nerong. It was worth it to suffer some anger now. Whether she admitted their master-disciple relationship or not, it was not a big deal. Xiao Qiang was very good at reading people. He knew that Liu Nerong was the same as the old Gang Leader. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In the face of a big matter, she could not harden her heart. During last night's disturbance, Liu Nerong walked in front regardless of the obstacles. He could see the clues. Besides, this business was related to the rise and fall of the Fish-dragon Gang for the next 10 years. Without Xiao Qiang's help, how could it be done? Just relying on Gongsun Yang, this blockhead who could not be beaten up with a few sticks?
Wang Dashi felt that he was fortunate to have gone through thick and thin with Young Master Xu. Today, he did not care about the faces of his senior brothers. He confidently trotted behind Hsu Fengnian's horse and said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed, "Young Master Xu, it wasn't easy for me to memorize four or five hundred words, but after memorizing them, I forgot some more."
Seeing the guilt and annoyance in the young man's eyes, Hsu Fengnian smiled and comforted him, "It doesn't matter. Just let nature take its course. It's not good for you to care too much about things like memorizing. It's easy to forget. Take it slow. Anyway, there's still some time before we reach Beimang. But I'll say this first. No matter how worthless this incantation is, it's still a relatively complete set of martial arts incantations. Remember not to let others hear it. You won't be able to clear your name even if you jump into the river. If you have a habit of talking in your sleep, I advise you to seal your mouth before you sleep. "
