Hsu Fengnian was preoccupied with his own thoughts, so he simply ignored this successor of Xu Huainan, who had already lost his family and had yet to live under someone else's roof. Xu Beizhi, who was ignored, was not angry. He said to himself, "Chivalrous people use force to suppress disorder, but the two imperial courts both have unprecedented control over their own Jianghu. Beimang's Jianghu has directly become the imperial court's servants, while Liyang's Jianghu also has their own watchdogs. The internal strife is fierce. I really don't understand why there is a need to personally go into this kind of Jianghu that is struggling at death's door. "
Hsu Fengnian suddenly laughed and sat down on the rotten guardrail. Xu Beizhi looked at him with trepidation. Hsu Fengnian looked at this talented person who liked to look at the situation from a strategically advantageous position. He said calmly, "Xu Beizhi, have you seen with your own eyes two thousand flying swords? Have you seen with your own eyes the rise of the sea with your own strength? Have you seen a wisp of sword energy destroy a city wall? "
Xu Beizhi calmly shook his head. "No, I haven't. But since ancient times, everything has its vanquisher. The Sword Emperor of West Shu guarded the country's gate for the Son of Heaven, but wasn't he also crushed by your Xu family's cavalry until not even his bones remained? Why wouldn't the Jianghu people who have been famous for a long time be willing to fight on the battlefield? Isn't it because they are afraid of capsizing in the gutter? Moreover, the elite armies often have similar cavalry that specifically targets the top experts. I'm guessing that your Liyang's Grand Secretary Zhang Julu has spared no effort to tilt the empire's taxes to the north. He must have let Gu Jiantang support a force that can deal with Beimang's Jianghu martial force. Don't think that the Chess and Sword Music School of Mount Bubing is very arrogant right now. Once they are driven to the battlefield to fight, they won't be able to withstand a few large-scale battles. "
Hsu Fengnian laughed. "Are you mocking me? Are you saying that I'm not doing my job properly? "
Xu Beizhi lifted his wine gourd and drank a mouthful of wine.
Hsu Fengnian did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and sighed sincerely, "Your opinion is exactly the same as my second sister's. However, as a crown prince, the only thing I can do before I reach the age of twenty is not proper work. You can't expect me to conceal my strength and bide my time while harboring evil intentions. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Even now, I don't have any direct descendants to speak of. If you think about it carefully, it seems that there are only two or three hundred people in the Phoenix Battalion that I have some friendship with. I would have liked someone to bow to me, but during my second journey, during the battle of the reeds outside Xiangfan City, one of the Dongyue swordsmen in my residence cursed me as' Your Highness the Crown Prince 'before he died. At that time, I knew that no one in the world was stupid. "
Xu Beizhi wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and teased, "So it's because you don't dare to sit on the dragon throne, not because you don't want to."
Hsu Fengnian helplessly said, "A chicken talks with a duck."
Xu Beizhi slowly said, "Currently, several major events have happened. First, our dynasty's Taiping Commandery has become the Imperial Preceptor, the Prince of Zhao Zhao Kai has surfaced for the first time with a silver vase in his hand and entered the Western Region. The white-robed monk entered the clouds and preached the Diamond Sutra. With the support of the Empress, Dao De Zong began to gather the country's strength to compile the Daoist Canon. Zhang Julu began to transfer the elite cavalry of several vassal kings to the northern border. Among them, the King of Yan Chi and the King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, spared no effort. The King of Guangling, Zhao Yi, who shares the same father and mother as the Son of Heaven, was summoned by his elder brother to the capital and reprimanded him to his face. Li Yang began to circulate the 'Huhu Sutra', giving rise to the idea of slandering Buddha. It is said that in all the major provinces and counties in the world, only one temple will survive. Even the Two Zen Temples may not be spared. "
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "I'm more curious about your Beimang swordsmen's sword aura approaching that of Huang Qing. Also, Qi Xianxia took Ancestor Lu's sword to the south to practice swordsmanship. As for Zhao Liuding of the Wu family's sword tomb, I heard that he took his sword maids to the remains of the Wu family's' Nine Swords Breaking Ten Thousand Horsemen 'and took away three of his ancestors' ancient swords. His realm increased greatly. "
This time it was Xu Beizhi's turn to say helplessly, "Playing the lute to a cow."
Hsu Fengnian jumped down from the guardrail and said softly, "The old monk is unexpectedly dead."
Xu Beizhi was puzzled, "The Dragon Tree Monk who presides over the Two Zen Temples?"
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said no more.
One of them was talking to a chicken and a duck, the other was playing the lute to a cow. It would be boring to continue talking, so they continued on their way. The centipede path under their feet was winding and there were no sites or scenic spots to show, so it was just as boring. When they reached a fork in the road leading up and down the mountain, they saw Hsu Fengnian walking up the mountain without hesitation. Xu Beizhi frowned and asked, "Are you really going to Mount Bubing?"
Hsu Fengnian laughed and said, "Of course. I want to see the charm of a Beimang woman. Unexpectedly, she was defeated and almost lost an arm, yet she still dares to challenge the Mount Bubing's Mountain Master. If she's beautiful, she can take back the Beiliang. When the time comes, don't fight with me. "
Xu Beizhi obviously knew that the last sentence was a joke. He didn't think highly of this persimmon, but he didn't dare to look down on him either. If he acted recklessly, Hsu Fengnian wouldn't be able to live to this day even if he had ten lives. Although they had been together for more than ten years, Xu Beizhi had never asked about Hsu Fengnian's level of martial arts. When they were halfway up the mountain, they were stopped by the Mount Bubing's checkpoint. Only then did Hsu Fengnian realize that travelers had to stop here. Not everyone could go up the mountain to watch the battle. Seeing the "curly-bearded man" beside him smiling without saying anything, Hsu Fengnian had no choice but to obediently descend the mountain. As Xu Beizhi expected, Hsu Fengnian wasn't so crazy as to want to break through the southern wall. There were two routes down the mountain. The two of them took a secluded path, purposely avoiding the many martial artists from Beimang who were similarly shut out. At a suitable place for viewing the scenery, there was an elegant pavilion that imitated the architectural style of Jiangnan's water villages. There were no armored guards patrolling outside the pavilion, only a few well-built servants in luxurious clothing. Their Qi was profound and their divine splendor was reserved. From what Hsu Fengnian could see, one of them had entered the Second Pin. The others were also near the Dragon's Gate's threshold. In the pavilion, there were two women, one big and one small, with their backs to them. The young woman was sitting cross-legged, leaning against a pillar with her eyes closed. On her back was a weapon wrapped in a long cloth bag. The little girl was lying on a bench with her hands propped on her cheeks.
Inside the pavilion, there were two pairs of embroidered shoes, big and small, one green and one red.
The little girl was softly singing a small folk song, her voice crisp.
The teacher in the private school was asking if she knew,
Who was shouting "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi" on the tree.
The little moon quietly climbed over the hill.
Who was in the pond woke up the starlight.
Who was at the village entrance ringing the bell?
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong …
Hsu Fengnian stood where he was, unwilling to leave. Xu Beizhi saw that the group of unruly retainers were already paying attention to them, eyeing them covetously. He tugged on Hsu Fengnian's sleeve.
The next moment, Xu Beizhi knew something was wrong, but then he only felt that it was absurd.
Hsu Fengnian swept into the pavilion, his back facing Xu Beizhi and the unprepared retainers from Mount Bubing, and gently helped the green-clothed woman put on the green embroidered shoes.
