On the other hand, the group of Jianghu people took a few more glances at Young Master Yuan, who was standing like a spear by the side of the posthouse. There was some fear in their eyes. They knew their own weight. They had come to Beiliang to make a living. They wanted to open an escort agency near Liangzhou, or join a slightly larger gang. They had traveled a long way. They had left their hometown in Liaodong because they had been bitten black and blue by a mad dog who also had the surname Yuan. Their original gang had been strangled by that brat, so they definitely had some tricks up their sleeves. They were definitely not those so-called invincible fighters who fought all the way from the village head to the village head, from the east to the village head, and from the east to the village head. They were also not boxing masters who dared to call themselves grandmasters. The reason they had chosen Beiliang as a place to stay was because they knew that the King of Beiliang had "brought prosperity" to Liaodong. Although Beiliang had suppressed Jianghu quite a bit, at least there was some incense burning there. Furthermore, they were just a few small fish and a few small shrimps. They had not done anything against the country's laws, so it should not be difficult for them to make a living. However, since they were unfamiliar with the place, they had to be careful. They were more cautious, afraid that they would encounter an unreasonable territorial snake. They had heard about Young Master Yuan from the conversation between the old man in the wine shop and the rich man. The reason they spoke loudly and deliberately talked about the heroic deeds of wandering Jianghu was because they wanted to see if they could gain the favor of the crippled rich man. It would be best if they could get a guard instructor who could guarantee a steady income. Otherwise, they were embarrassingly short of money and did not have much traveling expenses. They would not put on a facade and ask for a few more catties of beef. A single copper coin could not kill a hero. How could they dare to rob in the territory under that butcher's jurisdiction?
A scholar put down his wine bowl and clicked his tongue. "The Long Xiang Army penetrated deep into the enemy's territory alone and showed the might of the Beiliang Army. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry even killed all the way to the northern barbarians' Nanjing Prefecture. This is all true, but what does His Royal Highness have to do with this? I've heard that the Crown Prince is very confident. So it turns out that you've been strategizing in a brothel in Liangzhou from thousands of miles away. Impressive, impressive! "
Another scholar from the same school who had studied the books of the sages shook his head and laughed, "It's the same thing. They're both fighting on horseback. His Royal Highness is fighting on horseback when he's on a girl in a brothel. Isn't he fighting on horseback? Yuan Liang, you are underestimating our hereditary His Royal Highness! "
A scholar with a jade pendant hanging on his waist sneered, "I'm waiting for this prince to ride the empress of Beimang. That's true ability. When the time comes, I'll be the first to tame him. "
The scholar who started this said in a strange tone, "Is the age difference a little too big?"
Scholar Xuanyu asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness famous for being unrestrained?"
The table of scholars who were worried about the country and the people burst into laughter.
Young Master Yuan, who was standing quietly in the distance, narrowed his eyes.
Instantly, a strong murderous aura exploded from his body.
Among the three old and young people at the next table, the little girl who knew how to be grateful looked indignant. There were tears in her eyes. The old tycoon drank a mouthful of wine and smiled. Chen Xiliang, the scholar from Jiangnan, also smiled gently.
The scholar at the other table, who was wearing the most luxurious clothing, put down his wine bowl heavily. He didn't point at anyone and laughed, "I've heard that the Crown Prince of Beiliang went to Martial Emperor City and even went to the top of the city wall. Later on, he followed the old God of Swords and killed his way to the King of Guang Ling by the Guangling River. I admit that I can't do it even if I have a hundred guts. If it were someone else, let alone doing it, they would be so scared that they peed in their pants. Don't talk to me about having an expert protecting you. At this level of grudge, it doesn't matter if you're the Crown Prince or not. I don't believe that a Crown Prince who only knows how to bully women can make a Sword Immortal like Li Chungang escort him for thousands of miles. Can he make the second in the world, Martial Emperor City, let him go to the top of the city wall and walk out of the city? "
His friend tugged at his sleeve and shook his head slightly, indicating to his brother not to let his emotions affect his decisions.
Scholar Pendant Jade had a calm expression and said slowly, "Is a boorish man worthy to talk about the world's affairs? A toad opens its mouth to the sky and swallows the sun and the moon? You sure talk big. "
When arguing with someone, how could the people of Jianghu win against a scholar? That person of Jianghu in embroidered clothes was probably an impatient boorish man. When he heard such sarcastic remarks, he grabbed a knife on the table and immediately held down the people at the same table.
Chen Xiliang finally opened his mouth and smiled, "A toad swallowing the sky and the moon is called ambition. Even if it's unpleasant to hear, it's just having high standards. But a frog at the bottom of the well looking at the sky is petty. "
A scholar shot a glance at this shabby scholar in white clothes and sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
Chen Xiliang said calmly, "Let's not talk about me first. Even if you read a few sage books, you're not even a thing. If I were your father, I wouldn't have ridden your mother. What's the use of giving birth to you? "
The little girl covered her mouth and laughed. She secretly gave Brother Chen a thumbs up.
Chen Xiliang touched the little girl's head and ignored the scholars who were so angry that their chests almost exploded.
The rich man glanced at the people of Jianghu and greeted Old Huang with a smile, "Come, give these warriors two jars of Green Ant Wine and five catties of beef. Put it on my tab. Oh right, Brother Huang, this money can't be less. "
The people at the table were not pretentious and cupped their fists to thank him.
Dust flew on the road to the inn.
The old man stood up and put his hands into his sleeves.
He gently looked at his son who went all the way to the north and cut off Xu Huainan's head and the fifth raccoon's head.
Hsu Fengnian turned over and got off the horse. White Bear Yuan Zuozong smiled and walked forward to take the reins of the horse.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and thanked him. He said, "I'll drink a bowl of wine with Second Brother Yuan later."
Yuan Zuozong nodded.
The old man rubbed the head of his second son, Huang Man 'er, and then walked to the table with his eldest son. He said softly, "You've become darker."
Hsu Fengnian nodded.
After the father and son sat down, the little girl sensibly moved to Chen Xiliang's bench. She greeted the brother who had once picked up the wishing money for her and gave her a big watermelon. She shyly called Young Master Xu. The latter reached out and pinched her nose. He smiled and said, "Now you're much fairer than me. In the future, there will be a lot of handsome young masters lining up to admire you. "
At the table, the old man sat alone on a bench. Chen Xiliang and the little girl sat on another. Hsu Fengnian and Xu Longxiang sat together. Xu Beizhi sat on the last bench. Yuan Zuozong stood and drank a bowl of wine. He stood back to his original position.
Xu Xiao asked with a smile, "Oh right, I boasted to the tavern's owner, Brother Huang, that your handwriting is not bad. I want you to write the word 'wine' so that I can hang it on a pole to attract customers. Is that okay?"
Hsu Fengnian drank a bowl of wine and wiped the corner of his mouth. "It's okay."
The little boy hurriedly brought a brush, ink and a small piece of satin that was carefully stored at home. Hsu Fengnian raised his arm and wrote. But he wrote very slowly and neatly.
Old Huang was naturally satisfied and thanked him repeatedly. When Hsu Fengnian returned the brush and ink, he stood up and said with a smile, "No need, no need." He even joked that his father must have come here many times to cheat wine. It was just a small matter.
After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao wanted to say something but stopped.
Hsu Fengnian lowered his head and drank. His lips touched the edge of the bowl. He slightly raised his head and said, "I already know."
Xu Xiao nodded.
Hsu Fengnian asked softly, "Are the troops ready?"
Xu Xiao smiled.
Hsu Fengnian tightly pursed his lips. "I won't enter the city first. I'll go later."
Xu Xiao sighed in his heart.
Hsu Fengnian drank another bowl of wine and gently stood up.
Xu Xiao raised his arm to Yuan Zuozong.
Xu Beizhi bowed deeply to the old man before sitting down.
While sitting down and drinking, he and Chen Xiliang looked at each other almost at the same time. They looked at each other but quickly moved away.
Hsu Fengnian mounted the horse and galloped to the northwest.
There were eight hundred white horses of the Phoenix Battalion ahead.
They were going to kill Prince Zhao Kai!
Xu Xiao sat down and drank. Old Huang came closer and joked, "Young Master Xu is really handsome. You don't look like Old Brother Xu at all."
Xu Xiao asked Old Huang to sit down and laughed. "It's good that he doesn't look like me. If he looks like me, it will be difficult to find a wife. He looks like his mother. What a blessing! "
The old wine seller had a deep expression on his face.
Xu Xiao stood up to pay the bill. After much persuasion, he finally handed it to the old man. Before he left, he said, "Those people who caused trouble here back then were not from the Feng Battalion. I have to tell you about this, brother."
Old Huang smiled. "It doesn't matter. We can't afford to offend anyone. We just want to be safe."
Xu Xiao said softly, "I don't know if I'll have a chance to drink here again."
Old Huang said anxiously, "You're treating me like an outsider. Brother, you have a few jars of Green Ant Wine."
Xu Xiao patted Old Huang's shoulder and left the wine shop.
Old Huang stood at the edge of the wine shop and suddenly realized something. He turned to his son and shouted, "That word, replace the old one and hang the new one!"
