Sweet Potato recalled for a moment and said slowly, "Generally speaking, the famous devils of Northern Mang like to travel alone, and they won't take the initiative to fall out with the forces of the imperial court. Generally speaking, they will mind their own business. Plus, the laws of Northern Mang are relatively lax, so there are very few cases of head-on confrontations. The reason why that devil fought with his life on the line wasn't because he was stubborn, but because Auntie had personally brought along a few martial arts experts to prevent him from escaping. Dunhuang City has 80,000 to 90,000 people. The soldiers guarding the city are called the Jin Wu Cavalry. They are all light cavalry, armed with short knives and light crossbows. They are not careless in night battles and street battles. Half of them are outside the Giant Immortal Palace, and the other half are outside the city. Among them, there are 40 to 50 people who came from Jianghu. They are good at martial arts. They committed crimes outside and had no choice but to seek refuge in Dunhuang City. Aunt also treated them with courtesy. Those who performed meritorious deeds were even rewarded with some older palace maids. It was not that they could not arrange more crossbowmen, but they were limited by the range. 100 people were enough. The remaining 900 cavalrymen were stationed at both ends of the street. Three cavalrymen were side by side. In one round of charge, 20 cavalrymen were sent out from the east and west, led by a military officer with good martial arts. After the cavalrymen died in battle, waves of arrows were shot down from the roofs, not giving the demon a chance to breathe. The next batch of cavalrymen would stop firing their crossbows and recover their arm strength. There is a very important point. In addition to the 500 Jin Wu Cavalry of the Giant Immortal Palace, there are more than 30 Jin Wu Soldiers. They are specifically targeted at the Wulin people who committed crimes in Dunhuang City. These people are not good at cavalry fighting, so Aunt secretly scattered them into the assault team. Each time, there are two or three people, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate. There is also a group of them on the roofs. They are allowed to retreat. In this way, in the sixth cavalry charge, the demon died of exhaustion and was trampled into a pile of mud by the horse's hooves. "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "This is very similar to the time when our Beiliang Army fought against the Sword Emperor of Xishu who guarded the country's gate with only one sword. It was a two-pronged attack by the cavalry and the Men of Sacrifice, alternating between light and dark. In addition, the Imperial Uncle was also determined to die. That was why the entire Jianghu was bitterly disappointed. Last time, Shen Men Cottage was short of a Rank One master and their cooperation was not good enough. There were too few archers and they could not cause any substantial damage. Otherwise, I would not have been able to leave the mountain so easily. I'm very curious as to how the Nine Swords of the Wu Family defeated the Beimang's Ten Thousand Cavalry 200 years ago. Are there any secret records in Dunhuang? "
Sweet Potato smiled and said, "Auntie is a martial arts fanatic. Aside from her collection of weapons, she also has a few obscure secret manuals. She also likes to comment on the martial artists of the world. She writes them all down on paper, but I'm not really interested in them. I'll bring them out for you later."
Hsu Fengnian joked, "Don't worry, I won't be leaving Dunhuang for a while. I want to see how a city operates, so there's no need to hide this matter."
Sweet Potato hugged Hsu Fengnian's arm. That lump of weight was really shocking. She smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to fool you."
Hsu Fengnian sighed and said, "This place is really like the Imperial Palace. I wonder what the biggest palace in the world looks like. If I had known, I would have asked Cao Zhangqing, who had entered the Royal Capital on his fourth attempt. "
Sweet Potato smiled and said, "There are palace maids and eunuchs here, but there aren't many, only a few hundred. It can't be compared to the Imperial Palace of Great Peace City. Great Peace City has a human cat Han Diaosi who fought to the death with Cao Changqing three times. He's really a weirdo among eunuchs. In my Giant Immortal Palace, the eunuchs are all useless, but the palace maids are all good-looking. Auntie used to be sisters with a secret concubine sect leader from the fourth of the five big sects, Princess Tomb. This sect is the biggest demonic sect in Beimang. They have a lot of women and are very good at bewitching men. They take yang to nourish yin, and the women they train are all peerless. Giant Immortal Palace's Dunhuang Flying Immortal Dance was born from Princess Tomb. Would you like to see it? I've only heard of countless men going crazy after seeing it, but I've never heard of anyone who could make an old monk into a Bodhisattva. That's why there's a saying about the Dance of Longevity. It means that whoever can be as unmoving as a mountain can be considered to have achieved longevity. Unfortunately, compared to Princess Tomb's Dance of Longevity, the Dunhuang Flying Immortal Dance only has thirty to forty percent of its essence. "
Hsu Fengnian said straightforwardly, "It'll be a waste if I don't see it. Even if there's no way to achieve longevity, it'll be good for the eyes. "
Sweet Potato smiled sweetly, and there wasn't any bitterness or coldness in the depths of her eyes. This was her cleverness and intelligence.
Hsu Fengnian hugged her waist and leaped onto the high wall. They skimmed all the way until they chose the roof of a majestic palace on the central axis of Dunhuang City and lay down. Beside them was the corner of the eaves. After letting go, they looked up at the bright moon above their heads. Hsu Fengnian pointed and said softly, "When I was young, I asked people if there were immortals living on the moon. I asked everyone around me, and the answers were different. My mother said there were. As long as one ascended, they could live in the sky. Xu Xiao wasn't serious. He also said there were. He even said that if it rained, it was the immortals' piss. Thunder was fart, and hail was excrement. At that time, whenever it rained, I didn't dare to go out. Second Sister was the same as Master Li Yishan. They didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so they both said there were no immortals. Eldest Sister liked to argue with Second Sister, but she insisted that there were immortals. One time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was angry with Second Sister. She hugged me and said that when she died, she would definitely watch me from the moon with her mother. She even deliberately said to Second Sister that she didn't believe in immortals and that she wouldn't be able to see her two younger brothers if she died. Second Sister was so angry that she almost hit her. To be honest, I didn't understand why my two sisters always quarreled. At that time, I didn't know anything and liked to fan the flames. I was happy to see them glare at each other and puff their cheeks. You also know how proud Second Sister is. Only this kind of trivial family matter can make her angry. Whatever military affairs, national affairs, or worldly affairs, she calculates them as if they were playing chess. It was because she was indifferent that she was invincible. I remember that every time we had a snowball fight, I was with her. It was called grand. She tossed us around like we were marching into a war. We always returned victorious, but she never got tired of it. Once, I secretly stuffed a small snowball into the back of her collar. She chased me around half of the Prince's Mansion. Xu Xiao didn't have the code of brotherhood and was just foolishly laughing. After Second Sister tidied me up, I chased after Xu Xiao and killed half of the Prince's Mansion to vent my anger. Now that I think about it, how many fathers in the world are as sullen as Xu Xiao? None, right? With such a disappointing son like me, it's already good enough that he didn't die from anger. After I turned twenty, I didn't want to pursue any imperial ambitions. I only wanted to do two things well, to practice martial arts and to avenge my mother with my own hands. To command an army and give Xu Xiao a lighter burden in his later years. "
Sweet Potato held Hsu Fengnian's slightly cold hand and didn't say anything to comfort him.
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and laughed, "It's good that he really ascended. I'm willing to believe in the one who rides the bull."
Sweet Potato laughed softly, "I heard that Hong Xixiang is the reincarnation of Ancestor Lu. Then Young Master, you're the most powerful person in the world. You've beaten up Ancestor Lu's immortals, and often at that."
Hsu Fengnian smiled.
Sweet Potato turned sideways, one hand supporting her cheek, and two fingers of her other hand stroking her young master's eyelashes. She said softly, "Young master, your eyelashes are really long. I used to dream of touching them."
Hsu Fengnian didn't stop her little action. He said, "Sweet Potato, when I leave Dunhuang, you also go back to Beiliang. Don't be a Death Warrior pawn. Be my concubine in the future. Xu Xiao will also agree. He's good at one thing, and that's that he doesn't ask about anyone's background. Even Lu Chengyan, the woman from the Green Party, can do it. Can't you? "
Sweet Potato shook her head.
This might be the first time in her life that she didn't agree.
Hsu Fengnian turned around and frowned.
Sweet Potato, who seemed weak but was unusually stubborn in her bones, blinked her eyes. "How can a concubine like a marionette kill people?"
Hsu Fengnian said unhappily, "You like killing people?"
She nodded without hesitation.
Hsu Fengnian stared.
Sweet Potato hid in his arms and whispered, "Young Master, do you like to be a prince of Beiliang just for show?"
Hsu Fengnian sighed and said, "Putting yourself in my shoes, I understand the reason. But can't you let me be unreasonable?"
Sweet Potato curled up in his arms like a kitten. "It's Sweet Potato who is unreasonable. I should listen to everything Master says."
Hsu Fengnian didn't say anything. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He narrowed his eyes, which would make any woman envious. He patted Sweet Potato's round buttocks and ordered, "Sit on me!"
After Sweet Potato sat on him, she looked confused and shy. She whispered, "Young Master, do you want to do it here?"
Hsu Fengnian said fiercely, "What do you think?"
"You know, Auntie said that I'm seventy to eighty percent similar to the Beimang Empress when she was young."
She took off her skirt and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, there's a dragon throne in the hall. Tomorrow, I'll wear the dragon robe and go there."
