A carriage slowly drove out of the western gate of the prefecture city. The coachman was a muscular young man with dark skin. Beside him sat a woman in green who was teaching him how to drive the horse. Fortunately, the horse was a good one chosen from the best of the best. Otherwise, it would have swerved and bumped into many pedestrians before it left the city. There was only a man and a woman in the carriage. They were both young. The woman was dressed in purple and had an eerie air about her. The young man had white hair and a white python robe. Perhaps it was because of his identity, but he was much more imposing than the woman. This was the only python robe in the entire Liyang Dynasty. If one didn't look closely, it was no different from a rich white robe made of silk. But if one looked closely, it was extremely exquisite. The nine pythons spat out pearls, vivid and lifelike.
Hsu Fengnian simply went to Great An City. It was better than the first time he went out, but much worse than the second time he went out with a hundred riders. Princess Jing 'an, Pei Nanwei, didn't have the face to show up. She couldn't go to the capital to take a look. She would probably have to kill a few more people to vent her anger. Fortunately, there was a large patch of reeds in the middle of chaos and there was no lack of reeds throughout the year. Hsu Fengnian went to the capital for the first time in his life. He brought two famous inkstones. Baiba City had already given them to Chen Xiliang, so of course they weren't included. One of them was unique to Liangzhou. It was a frozen iron inkstone that was fished out from the bottom of the river. It was said that the brush was as sharp as an awl. It was in line with the valiant customs of Beiliang. The other was Xuanyuan Qingfeng's She-Eel Yellow Stone Ruyi Vase Ink Stone. It was a specialty near Mount Hui. Hui and Zhou's Ink Stone were competing for the title of the best inkstone in the world. There was a saying that Hui was like an official and Zhou was like a beautiful woman.
Hsu Fengnian took advantage of the opportunity and said, "You and Hui are close to each other. Give some to me later, the more the better. The scholars of Beiliang liked this kind of thing. They were very willing to spend a lot of money for this. In Beiliang, other than salt and iron, we don't have any other means to make a profit. If you give me those secret manuals, I can't just set up a stall and sell each book for a few thousand taels of silver. It's much simpler to sell famous inkstones, and it's also more elegant. Moreover, in the future, Beiliang's civil officials will become more powerful. If you send the ancient inkstone over, you can even give it away. Every penny I can help Xu Xiao save is a penny. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered. "Are you still His Royal Highness who spent money like water in brothels? I heard that even if you bump into a Ranger, they'll chase after you and give you money. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled calmly and said, "You don't know how expensive food is until you're in charge of the household. Besides, you can do whatever you want. After all, there are many things that you can't do as you wish. It's not only you Jianghu people who have no choice."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stared at him for a long time.
Hsu Fengnian acted as if he didn't see it. He continued, "Think about whether there are any side doors that can bring Beiliang rolling in wealth. The biggest Pixiu in the world is the military. Beiliang cavalry has three hundred thousand men. To outsiders, it's a miracle that they haven't lost any men after so many years and can still fight. However, I'm not going to tell you about the hardships involved. You're a rich young lady who's been holding a bag of gold, bullets, and birds since you were young. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered. "Isn't it also not easy for me to be in charge of Mount Hui?"
Hsu Fengnian said sarcastically, "In any case, you only want to raise your cultivation level. You don't care about the Xuanyuan family at all. How can you call your method of being in charge of a household that drains the pond to catch fish? You spendthrift woman, you might as well just break the pot. "
Xuanyuan Qingfeng faintly looked angry. Hsu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "There's no point in chatting with me. Think about serious matters. I'm not joking about making money."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered but didn't say anything.
After a while, Hsu Fengnian frowned and asked, "You farted?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng was furious, and his killing intent overflowed and filled the entire carriage.
Hsu Fengnian held his belly and laughed. "I'm just teasing you. It's very fun."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng restrained his killing intent and said stiffly, "I should've killed you in the lantern market back then and ended everything!"
Hsu Fengnian rested his chin on one hand and stared at this woman who had become friends after a fight. His smile was intoxicating.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng turned her head away and meditated quietly. Her uncommon martial path seemed like a shortcut, but it was actually a complicated path. One had to know that her memory wasn't inferior to Hsu Fengnian's. She had browsed through the books in the Great Bull Gang Library since she was young. She also had Xuanyuan Jingcheng, who had entered the Saint realm earlier than Cao Changqing, left behind detailed insights. When it came to opportunities, everyone had their own fortune. Wooden Sword Wen Hua was like this when he met Huang Sanjia, and so was Yuan Tingshan, who became more courageous with every setback. As for those peak figures who had been famous for a long time, there was no exception.
Hsu Fengnian suddenly said, "If you happen to fancy a suitable man one day, remember to invite me to your wedding."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sneered and said, "One more thing, and I'll pull out your thing and let you become a eunuch in the palace."
Hsu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said, "With your morals, don't even think about getting married in this lifetime."
