Wang Dashi secretly rejoiced, "Fortunately, I'm a heavy sleeper and won't wake me up even if there's thunder. It's just that my snoring is very loud. Fortunately, I don't talk in my sleep. "
Half an hour after leaving the Tumbling Horse Pass, they heard the roar of horse hooves behind them. The frightened Fish-dragon Gang looked at each other and hurriedly got into formation. When they saw the figure of Zhou Ziru from the Tumbling Horse Pass, even Xiao Qiang, who was experienced in Jianghu, felt his scalp tingle.
However, after recognizing that Zhou Ziru only brought two guards, he was slightly relieved. It didn't seem like he was going to settle accounts with them. After Zhou Ziru stopped the horse, he raised his arm. His noble demeanor, which made the young members of the Fish-dragon Gang extremely envious, was fully displayed. A strong rider untied two boxes from the horse's back and placed them in front of Liu Nerong and Xiao Qiang. Zhou Ziru looked directly at Liu Nerong and smiled calmly, "This is a little compensation for last night's misunderstanding. I hope Miss Liu will accept it. In the future, if the Fish-dragon Gang passes through the Tumbling Horse Pass again, I promise you that you won't need any official plates. The city gate will be opened wide and unimpeded. "
Liu Nerong's eyes turned red. She clenched the reins with both hands, but in the end, she forced a smile and said slowly, word by word, "On behalf of the Fish-dragon Gang, Liu Nerong thanks Childe Zhou for forgiving us."
Zhou Ziru sniffled and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. Then, he slowly turned around and left.
Liu Nerong looked at the gang members who only had fear in their eyes. Her eyes dimmed and she said in a low voice, "Take the boxes and continue on our way."
It was said that the grudges of Jianghu were in Jianghu. However, things were unpredictable. Once they were involved with the government, how many Jianghu sects could not lower their heads? Especially when the King of Beiliang established a bloody rule in Jianghu after he stepped into the Jianghu. Nowadays, other than sects with high status such as Mount Longhu, the Wu Family, the Sword Tomb, and the Dongyue Sword Pool, the rest of the sects, big and small, were all recorded in the household register. Their lives could not be considered comfortable. Decades ago, the unrestrained heroism of "You're an official, so I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. If you talk nonsense, I'll just chop you up and run away" had long vanished. Their romantic aspirations were always blown away by the wind and rain. Their heroic spirit was also trampled flat by the hooves of armored horses.
Even the top ten magnates were messed up by the Beiliang cavalry. Jianghu that was full of infighting was nothing.
Wang Dashi asked softly, "Young Master Xu, what do the northern barbarians? Do they have eyes like copper bells and hands are are like palm-leaf fans? They are all eight or nine feet tall and strong as an ox? "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said with a smile, "That's all there is to it. They won't have an extra arm or a leg. In half a year, you'll see the streets full of northern barbarians. You'll know that the girls there are just as delicate and soft. It's a pity you don't have any spare money on you. Otherwise, you can go to the brothel in the city and find a girl to have a taste. You can count it as another battlefield for our Liyang Dynasty. "
Wang Dashi blushed. His face was still young and unweathered. He stammered.
Unfortunately, Liu Nerong had rushed over to talk business with Hsu Fengnian. Hearing this, she angrily slapped her horse and turned around to leave.
There was no official road to speak of anymore. It was just a road created by the merchants of two dynasties. But it was still flat and wide enough to allow two horses to gallop side by side.
At noon, the Fish-dragon Gang found a high loess slope and stopped to rest. It was common sense for a large group to stop at a high altitude when traveling. Otherwise, on the border of the Northern Liang and the Northern Mang where horse bandits wreaked havoc, there would be countless casualties if dozens of bandits charged at them from a high altitude. As for small groups, if they didn't have great abilities, it would be meaningless even if they stood at the top of the mountain. They would still be robbed and killed. Hsu Fengnian was still a loner. After the Fish-dragon Gang suffered a bloody loss at Tuma Pass, they hated this culprit of Beimang even more. Liu Nerong and Xiao Qiang, who knew a little about the inside story, certainly didn't have a good impression of him. Hsu Fengnian was also happy that no one disturbed him. He ate a crumpled dry biscuit and squatted on the edge of the slope to look into the distance. His eyes were full of desolation. He murmured, "The young don't go to Jiangnan, the old don't go to Liang Mang."
Wang Dashi came to Hsu Fengnian and squatted down beside him. He asked curiously, "Young Master Xu, I've never been to school. What do you mean by that?"
Hsu Fengnian explained with a smile, "This is from a romance novel, 'The First Snow'. It says that the scenery in Jiangnan is good, and the land of gentleness is a hero's grave. Young men's hearts are not firm, and they have seen the beautiful scenery early on. It is very difficult for them to have the ambition to achieve great things. The border of Liang Mang is dilapidated and bleak. Old people are easily sentimental about the world, and their hearts are filled with sorrow. When a hero is past his prime, he will be sad and hurt his lungs. "
Wang Dashi made an 'oh' sound and scratched his head. He said, "Now that Young Master Xu said it like that, I kind of understand."
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Miss Liu must have fallen in love with 'The First Snow'. If you have the chance, go to the restaurant and listen to the gentlemen in the book. You will have a little understanding of a woman's heart."
Wang Dashi almost choked on the meat biscuit that he was about to swallow. He coughed and said with an embarrassed expression, "I can't drink wine."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and took a sip of water from his water bag to moisten his throat. He did not tease this young man who might not have the chance to go to Jiangnan in his lifetime.
Wang Dashi always felt inferior in front of this Young Master Xu, so he did not stay for long. After a moment of silence, he tactfully left. Hsu Fengnian put away the biscuits and water bag. He turned his head and saw that the Fish-dragon Gang was still resting and chatting. He did not move, but a pocket-sized dagger flew out from his sleeve.
He pierced his finger with the dagger and dripped a drop of blood onto the blade.
If it was an ordinary dagger, the drop of blood would have slid down. However, this two-inch-long dark green dagger was like a living creature that absorbed the blood into the blade.
Đồng Thái had twelve flying swords, and this one was the Green Plum Blossom.
Hsu Fengnian dripped three drops of blood onto the dagger before putting it away.
Nurturing a sword.
If he wanted to ride a sword and kill people one day, he would have to at least not slack off for a thousand days.
