Hsu Fengnian sat alone by the river. Luo Changhe, Old Scholar Luo, and the others were already used to it. In the middle of the night, Hsu Fengnian controlled the Xuan Lei sword and dripped blood to nourish the sword embryo. Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches. The metaphor behind these two sayings was a top secret in Beiliang Palace. The former was Hsu Fengnian's Men of Sacrifice, while the latter was Xu Xiao's trusted retainer. After obtaining the Peach Blossom Sword Deity's twelve flying swords, Hsu Fengnian had an unforgettable memory of the latter. Zi Xuan Jia, Chou Chunmei, Yin Bamboo Horse, Mao Morning Dew, Chen Chunshui, Si Peach Blossom, Wu Jinlu, Wei Huangtong, Shen Emei, You Zhuque, Xu Wuling, and Hai Tai 'e. The time of nourishing the swords corresponded with the time when the flying swords came out of the furnace. Except for the Jinlu sword, which received the Buddha's golden blood as a gift and was able to nurture more than half of the sword embryo, the rest of the flying swords were less than half.
Especially the Xuan Lei and Hai Tai 'e swords, which had the strongest sword wills, they were simply stubborn. It seemed that they did not see eye to eye with their new master and were progressing at a snail's pace. Putting away the Xuan Lei sword, Hsu Fengnian released the Jinlu sword. As his fingers slid, the flying sword killed a fish in the river. Having nothing to do, Hsu Fengnian felt that using one sword to stir the water was not bold enough, so he simply controlled eight more swords to form a nine. Gradually, countless splashes appeared. Then, he put away all nine flying swords in an instant. After putting them in his sleeves, they were almost all wrapped around his arm into the sword pouch. Not to mention other things, just this exquisite control was enough to stun ordinary martial artists.
Hsu Fengnian picked up a stone and threw it into the river. Then, the elite retainer of Old Scholar Luo's family walked over from afar. He stood in the distance and hesitated for a while. When he saw Hsu Fengnian throwing stones into the water from time to time, he walked thirty steps closer and said loudly, "I'm Feng Shanling. If I've disturbed Young Master Xu and offended you in any way, please forgive me."
Hsu Fengnian threw a stone and clapped his hands. He turned his head and smiled. "It's fine. I can't sleep either."
Feng Shanling was sitting by the riverside a little further away. He cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, thank you for your help in killing the Horse Gang a few days ago. I'd like to thank you on behalf of my brothers. I'm not afraid that Young Master Xu will laugh at me, but my brothers and I are just slaves and servants. We don't dare to say that we'll repay your kindness. On the one hand, you really saved our lives. On the other hand, even if we want to repay your kindness, we don't have anything to offer. I only dare to say that when we reach the town tomorrow, we'll privately invite Young Master Xu to find a clean restaurant to drink and eat meat."
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "That's good. I still have some money left. After eating and drinking to my heart's content, even if I can't afford the girls in the big brothels, I can still go to the small brothels. Brother Feng, are you interested? Although I say to others that I'm from a small aristocratic family, I'm actually just a merchant's son. I'm not on the same path as Young Master Luo and the other aristocratic families. I'm also afraid of being snubbed. Brother Feng, you're on the right path. To tell you the truth, the reason why I'm treating you to the brothels is that I want to invite Brother Feng to have a meal with me when I'm in your territory. That way, my small business can be taken care of. "
Previously, the Horse Gang was defeated, but they didn't suffer heavy casualties. I was afraid that Young Master Xu was the Horse Gang's spy, so I secretly sent a brother who used to be a scout to inquire about information from the periphery. However, there was no trace of the Horse Gang. Tomorrow, we will enter the military town to rest, so I feel that I have wronged Young Master Xu. My brothers and I are rough people who only know how to wield swords and spears, but we still want to be thick-skinned. Therefore, I want to apologize to Young Master Xu and accept any beating or scolding. "
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "It's human nature. Brother Feng, you worry too much. If I were in your shoes, I would also be more cautious when I'm outside."
Feng Shanling was not a talkative person. After saying the words that he had been preparing for a long time, he did not know what to say. Hsu Fengnian hesitated and asked, "I heard from Old Master Luo that Brother Feng used to be a crossbowman in Beiliang?"
Feng Shanling showed a trace of absent-mindedness and said with a smile, "It was a long time ago."
Hsu Fengnian picked up a flat stone beside him and threw it into the water. He said, "The Liang Mang border has a crossbow-control pass to prevent crossbows from crossing the border. Brother Feng, I'm afraid that you haven't touched a crossbow for many years?"
