Xu Beizhi's mind wandered and he suddenly said, "Why do I feel that the future King of Shu will take another step forward? Although Western Shu has always been a place of defense, Zhao Kai himself is the leader of the forces in the Western Regions. If he can really kill two birds with one stone and cut off the connection between Beiliang and Shu Zhao, the Zhao family's decision would be very ruthless. If Zhao Kai, who has always been an insignificant figure in the imperial court, can really gain a firm foothold in the position of King of Shu, and if the position of Crown Prince is always empty, I think this is not a good situation for Beiliang. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Zhao Kai is going to the Western Regions. It's hard to say whether he will live or die."
Xu Beizhi frowned and said, "You can leave Beimang, but he can't leave the Western Regions?! If there is such a thing as the Son of Heaven, then Zhao Kai, who is a prince, is much more suitable than you. "
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "That makes sense. Then I will go and kill Zhao Kai, an eye for an eye."
Xu Beizhi was surprised and said, "Really?"
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "I will personally bring people there."
Xu Beizhi began to calculate in his mind. Hsu Fengnian had already noticed a detail. When Xu Beizhi was thinking carefully, his fingers would subconsciously draw horizontal and vertical lines in the air. Hsu Fengnian suddenly thought of the unlucky phrase, "Extreme wisdom is bound to hurt." Therefore, Hsu Fengnian asked Blue Bird to stop the horse and buy a basket of meat buns as a reward for Xu Juzi. He had personally tasted the meat buns sold in the small shop at Tuma Pass. It was called good quality and cheap. Hsu Fengnian was waiting for Blue Bird to return. Through the curtain, he saw a group of children jumping to the private school to study. Among them was Zhao Yousong. Hsu Fengnian smiled knowingly and took out a fake secret manual from the Wu family's Nine Swords Ruins. He called Blue Bird softly and asked her to give it to the obedient and filial child.
Yousong, who was silently reciting poems, was suddenly stopped by a green-clothed elder sister. Then the beautiful elder sister handed him a book. On the cover, there were four big words "The Art of the Bull". It was a divine art. How could it not be a peerless secret manual? However, the child was more shocked than excited. Moreover, although the child was young, he was very smart and knew that the Jianghu was dangerous. Moreover, his mother always said that he should not take advantage of others. Therefore, Yousong did not reach out to take the secret manual. However, some of the innocent children around him were cheering. They almost hugged the green-clothed elder sister's thigh and begged her to accept them as disciples. They thought that they could become masters in one day and be invincible in three days. Yousong refused to accept the secret manual. Even though Blue Bird said that it was fake and not worth much, he still did not accept it. Blue Bird, who did not have the experience of selling secret manuals, could only look at her master for help. When she looked at him, Yousong was overjoyed. He saw Brother Xu!
He ran to the side of the carriage and looked up at Brother Xu whose face was covered by the curtain. He smiled brightly and was about to say something when he patted his head. He carefully took out a few coins that he hid very well and went to the bun shop to buy two big meat buns. When he returned to the side of the carriage, he was not afraid of scalding his hands. He tiptoed and handed the buns to Hsu Fengnian.
Hsu Fengnian held the curtain with one hand and took the meat buns wrapped in lotus leaves with the other hand. He smiled and said, "This is the money your mother gave you to buy the book. Aren't you afraid of being scolded when you go back?"
The child shook his head vigorously and grinned, "Of course not. If my mother knew that Brother Xu was coming back, she would be more generous than me. Our family is not poor now. My mother is good at embroidery and can make a lot of money a month. My mother also said that there is a place called weaving in the government and wanted to invite her to go there to make money."
Hsu Fengnian knew that Huangfu Jin must have hinted to someone. The amount of hinting was just right. He did not treat the mother and daughter unfairly, nor did he disturb their peaceful life. Hsu Fengnian took a bite of the meat bun and pointed at Blue Bird. He smiled and said, "This sister is my friend. I don't know if the secret manual is real or fake. Anyway, I don't need it, so I'll give it to you."
If one really practiced this kind of secret manual, even if they had a hundred copies, they would not be able to master it even if they worked hard for ten lifetimes. However, it was not to the extent that they would damage their bodies. They were the most worthless introductory chants of some Jianghu sects. They outlined some stupid tricks that could be found on the streets. They could only be considered to have some benefits to strengthen the body.
"Okay!" The child took the secret book with a smile, and then solemnly bowed to the green bird. He said in a methodical manner, "Thank you, fairy sister, for giving me this book." The green bird, who had a distant temperament, was also amused and smiled slightly.
After receiving benefits, the child with a good upbringing naturally wanted to return the favor. His eyes filled with anticipation, he asked, "Brother Xu isn't in a hurry to leave, right? Come to my house for lunch? My mother will definitely be happy. She always tells me that when I grow up, I have to repay her kindness! Heh, but my mother calls Brother Xu as Young Master Xu. "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said, "It's no trouble. You still have to go to the private school to study. It's the busy time of the farm season. Your mother will definitely have to work in the fields. Besides, I'm in a hurry to leave Tuma Pass, so I won't stay."
The child's face was filled with regret, but he did not stubbornly insist.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and waved his hand.
The carriage continued south along the road.
On the way back south, the paddy fields of Tuma Pass had already turned from the green and yellow of the Rouran Mountains to a golden yellow.
In the vast expanse of golden yellow that stretched as far as the eye could see, there was a young miss dressed in simple clothing that could not hide her graceful figure bending over to harvest rice. Originally, she did not have much land in the village. After she had more money, she could not bear the boredom and bought a piece of land here. The transfer of land deeds was an extremely complicated process. She had thought that the village side would not be able to get through, but she had not expected that the government side would be surprisingly easy to talk to. It was as if they were afraid that she would not buy the land. After she received the land deed, she had been nervous for a long time, thinking that there was a trap that she had not seen through. She had worked hard to save up some money. If she was cheated again, she would slap herself a few times and scold herself for being greedy and for suffering. Fortunately, it was already the autumn harvest and harvesting of rice. Behind her, there were many piles of golden rice that were her family's food. The young miss was filled with a joy that she could not tell others.
She was born in Mizhi, a place that was filled with beauties. She was also an outstanding person in the surrounding hundred li. Many women who were not as beautiful as her had already become the concubines of officials and soldiers, or had been raised as canaries in large private mansions. She did not envy them. She only felt that it was very good to stay here, to stay by You Song's side.
She straightened her back and wiped her sweat.
But how was their benefactor, Young Master Xu?
Her beautiful face turned red and she softly scolded herself for being shameless.
