The maid Jiang Ni, who had grown up to be devastatingly beautiful, sneered softly. She thought that this snow-white spear falcon was as unlucky as she was.
This kind of rare flying feather only existed in the snowy lands north of Jinzhou. If a hunter could catch one, he would be spared from death except for treason. In the past, even the nobles of West Chu spent a lot of money to buy this spirit creature nicknamed "Green White Luan", but it was still hard to find.
The one on Hsu Fengnian's arm was even more extraordinary. It was the highest grade of Green White Luan, the "Six-year Phoenix", rarer than the "Three-year Dragon". In the Yongzhou region of Liang, there was once a master of a noble family who offered a thousand taels of gold and three beautiful women in exchange for "Little White", but he was scolded by the domineering Hsu Fengnian to get lost. That noble, who could get whatever he wanted, was undoubtedly rebuffed.
Hsu Fengnian snorted, "Xu Xiao, let me ask you, if my son is being bullied, what should I do as a father?"
Da Zhuguo smiled and said matter-of-factly, "Naturally, I'll exterminate them. If that's not enough, I'll take their wives and concubines as cattle and squander all their wealth in an instant."
Jiang Ni, who hadn't left the Tide-listening Pavilion, had a gloomy expression, unable to hide the bone-piercing hatred in her limpid eyes.
Hsu Fengnian took out a small piece of paper from his bosom. On it were written surnames, clans, and sects of the martial arts world. He patted his father, the King of Beiliang's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "Father, didn't you always say that it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge? These guys are my enemies. Take care of them immediately."
Xu Xiao took the paper and praised his son's good handwriting before even looking at it. He glanced at it and was about to boldly say that it was no problem, but then he took a closer look and read everything without missing a word. He said with a bitter expression, "Son, you have too many sons.
"Son, you have too many enemies. There are no less than a hundred of them. Look at the Governor of Huizhou County. Just because his son looks a little too pretty and you saw him from afar while he was touring Biluo Lake with a beauty, he has to remove his official position? There was also the Wang Family of Beiliang in Guanzhong. They were going to be exterminated just because one of their servants cursed at them while drinking? As for the Xuanyuan family of the Wulin world, what did they do to offend my son? Why did he send the entire family to Jinzhou? And why did he choose a girl named Xuanyuan Qingfeng to act as an official prostitute? "
Hsu Fengnian looked at his beloved spear falcon and sighed, "Little White, Little White, you're lucky to have a master like me who cares for you. I'm miserable. I don't have a father to dote on me and a mother to love me. Living is just torture, boring."
Da Zhu Guo quickly smiled and said, "Father will do as you say. Father will do as you say."
After making the promise, Xu Xiao turned his head and looked at Yuan Zuozong and Chu Lushan with a gloomy face. He said, "I'm sorry.
"Zuo Zong, prepare two groups of Brave Tiger Cavalry and wait for orders. This King is going to ask for an imperial edict immediately. It's nothing more than another trip to Jianghu. Lushan, inform all the officials who are close to this prince in the provinces along the way. Kill the traitors on the list who should be killed. Just give them a nice name and don't make it too big of a deal. After all, we're working on someone else's territory. There's no need to rush. I'll give you a year and a half to plan slowly. You're good at this kind of thing. "
Yuan Zuozong bowed and said, "Yes, sir."
Fatty Chu also got up and bowed. His eyes were ruthless and his face was full of excitement, "Yes, sir."
Jiang Ni lamented in his heart. Were there going to be countless good people who would suffer because of an absurd reason? How many poor people who were separated from their families would not know the cause of the disaster in the end?
But at this time, Xu Fengnian took back the paper and took out another one. The name list was only about one-tenth of the names. He smiled and said, "Father, how can I really let you become enemies with more than a dozen noble families and half of the Jianghu? Look at this one. It's enough that these people are unlucky. The officials are all corrupt officials, and the people are all rebels. Killing them is justified, and doing justice for the heavens will definitely accumulate good karma, better than building a seven hundred floor pagoda."
Xu Xiao was relieved. Seeing that his son was going to get angry again, he immediately took the second paper with a serious face and nodded, "Since that's the case, there's no need to make a big fuss. Within a year, I'll make sure that you won't be annoyed by what you don't see. My son is really filial. You know how to solve your father's worries and accumulate virtue. "
Hsu Fengnian threw the half orange that Xu Xiao personally peeled into his mouth and said vaguely, "Of course."
Xu Xiao gave his adopted son, Chu Lushan, a fierce look. The latter took the paper and immediately retreated. Although he was fat and had more than two hundred jin of fat, he walked as quietly as if he was flying on grass.
Xu Xiao saw his son's face gradually become rosy and was gratified. He softly said, "Son, I said you're not my biological son. That's because you don't look like me. You take after your mother."
Hsu Fengnian heard this and only grunted.
Da Zhuguo, who had been recuperating for the past ten years, knew that this topic was unpleasant. He changed the topic and said, "Huang Man'er doesn't want to go to Mount Longhu. Help me talk to him and he'll listen to you."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "I know. Go do what you need to do. Don't disturb me fishing."
Xu Xiao chuckled and said, "Wait a little longer. I haven't talked to you in three years."
Hsu Fengnian glared and said, "If you knew this would happen, why did you chase me out of the family?! Scram! "
The word 'scram' was imposing.
The pitiful and lamentable King of Beiliang immediately fled. He didn't dare to stay any longer.
For some reason, every time Jiang Ni faced Da Zhuguo, who Hsu Fengnian treated like an ordinary rich man who didn't teach his son well, she would feel a chill run down her spine. She didn't dare to show the slightest bit of killing intent towards this man who deserved even more hatred than Hsu Fengnian.
At first, she thought it was because she was timid. However, the older she grew, the braver she became, the more she didn't dare to act rashly. It was as if this butcher, who had charged into the royal palace on horseback, was the most terrifying person in the world.
She later learned that the previous emperor of this dynasty had personally promised to treat the royal family of West Chu well and even made her father king. However, Xu Xiao still stabbed the West Chu emperor to death in front of Jiang Ni, who was nestled in her father's arms. Her kind father, who preferred poetry over war, then threw a piece of white silk to her mother.
Jiang Ni, the Taiping Princess, whose real name was Jiang Si, had never understood the butcher Xu Xiao. She had told her mother, who had originally wanted to live, "If you don't want to become his plaything, then kill yourself."
However, the cycle of karma was not pleasant. This cruel and merciless man had two useless sons. One was a fool, and the other was a dandy with no ambition.
The fool was born with great strength. However, even so, he couldn't be the backbone of Beiliang's 300,000 Iron Cavalry. Jiang Ni was going to kill Hsu Fengnian, who was going to inherit the title of king in the future. In this way, no matter how powerful Xu Xiao was, he would inevitably fall apart one day. Therefore, Jiang Ni was willing to wait and live.
Hsu Fengnian waved his arm and dispersed the green and white luan in his hand. He threw away the small piece of Sichuan brocade that had a hole dug out by the sharp claws. He smiled at the martial god of Beiliang, Yuan Zuozong, who had been standing respectfully at the side, and said, "Brother Yuan Zuozong, you should go and rest."
Yuan Zuozong, who had never heard this intimate address, was stunned. He hesitated for a moment and then bowed and left.
The Tide-listening Pavilion was finally quiet. Looking out, one could see the picturesque scenery.
Hsu Fengnian didn't pick up the fishing rod. Instead, he reclined on the couch and said softly, "Jiang Ni, if you have the chance, you should go out and take a look."
The captive princess, who didn't delve into the meaning of this, smiled disdainfully and said, "His Royal Highness' trip this time will cause a group of people to suffer an unexpected calamity. What a big deal. No wonder he is the young master of the Pillar State."
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and said with a smile, "If not, would I be able to erase your chastity mark?"
The corner of Jiang Ni's mouth curled up in disdain. It evoked a monstrous hatred. If it could be weighed on a scale, it would be a thousand catties of hatred.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Do you know that when you are angry, you look exactly the same as when you are happy? You have two little dimples. I like this part of you the most. So, when you kill me later, I will take a few more glances."
Jiang Ni said expressionlessly, "Just wait. The next time I kill you, I will smile the happiest."
Hsu Fengnian sat up straight. He took out a handful of bait from a phoenix carved glass basin and threw it into the lake outside the railing. Countless koi fish jumped out of the lake. Looking at this lively scene, His Royal Highness, who had his back to Jiang Ni, said with emotion, "That will certainly be the most moving scenery in the world."
