Hsu Fengnian walked down the steps and turned back to look at the eaves of the main hall. Back then, three people had been drinking and singing on the roof. There were a few eunuchs walking back and forth in the square, sweeping the ground and picking up the lost jade pendants of a few careless officials. When they saw the man in the white robe walking out of the imperial city gate, they were all a little afraid. No matter how bad his reputation was, he was still a lord who carried a knife to the morning court. He was not someone they could provoke or make fun of. Moreover, even a fool knew that after Chen Zhibao left Beiliang, there was no doubt who would become the King of Beiliang. After Hsu Fengnian walked out of the gate, he saw the bright red robe that was obviously waiting for him. Many officials deliberately stopped at a distance, waiting to see a good show.
Chen Zhibao had gone to Shu alone and then entered the capital alone. Everyone would only feel that no matter how much power this new Minister of War had, it was not rude at all.
Even the butcher and 300,000 cavalrymen couldn't help Hsu Fengnian. Everyone thought that if this guy could become the emperor's son-in-law as soon as possible, everything would be over.
After Hsu Fengnian came closer, the two walked side by side under the wall. Hsu Fengnian laughed softly and asked, "Last time when you went to Shu, I didn't have time to see you off. You don't blame me, do you?"
Chen Zhibao said gently, "It's okay. When you become the King of Beiliang, I may not be able to attend the ceremony. We don't owe each other anything."
Hsu Fengnian laughed it off.
Chen Zhibao was no longer wearing white robes. The white-haired man beside him was wearing a white robe. It was hard to predict the future. After leaving Beiliang, Chen Zhibao, who turned into a dragon in the wind and rain, said indifferently, "If you do well, Beiliang's Crown Prince, are you confident that you can be the King of Beiliang?"
Hsu Fengnian asked, "If I can't do it, are you going to do it?"
Chen Zhibao turned to look at the heir of Beiliang, whom he hadn't interacted much with. He smiled and said, "Your temperament is indeed like that of a general."
Hsu Fengnian went straight to the point and asked, "How many years did you serve as the Minister of War before you went to Shu to be conferred the title of King? When the time comes, will you still lead the Ministry of War? "
Although they were mortal enemies, Chen Zhibao was very open and candid. He calmly said, "First, you'll be conferred the title of King, but you won't just be a vassal for a year or two. Then, you'll be conferred the title of King, and you'll have to violate the rules and lead the Ministry of War for a year or two. Therefore, you still have a few years to accumulate your strength. However, by the time I run out of patience, Beimang will be marching south on a large scale. At that time, you will be attacked from both front and rear. If you still can't conquer the Western Regions, then you will have to wait for the resources that the Supreme General has accumulated to be exhausted. However, I can tell you clearly that as long as we fail to defend our business, the Xu family will have no choice but to flee to the Western Regions. At that time, I will definitely be the first to kill you. If you die in the plum wine, at least you will live up to your status. It will be better than being assassinated by the imperial court. "
Hsu Fengnian slid his hand across the city wall and didn't say anything.
The heir of Beiliang, who was known to be glib-tongued, was a man of few words. Instead, it was the usually serious Chen Zhibao who spoke more. "I've waited for so many years, but you didn't die in an unexpected disaster. I don't mind waiting a few more years for you to die in the struggle between the two dynasties. Beiliang's 300,000 cavalrymen belong to my adoptive father. As his former adoptive son, I don't dare to fight for them. However, you are someone who hasn't even experienced the Spring and Autumn War. It's not that you are good at hiding your strength and biding your time, and it's not that you can easily obtain them just by hiding your strength and biding your time. There are many things under the heavens that are right and proper. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. "
Hsu Fengnian touched the cool wall with his fingers and said calmly, "I'll wait for you."
Chen Zhibao smiled gently and turned to leave.
There was no cursing or fighting. This greatly disappointed the spectating officials. They all hurriedly dispersed to avoid falling into the eyes of the new Minister of War and bearing a grudge.
Hsu Fengnian continued to walk along the base of the wall. Then, he met the disguised Princess Sui Zhu. She was waiting for him. Then, without any surprise, she said mockingly, "It's scary to compare goods. When the two of you stand together, the difference is like the difference between the clouds and the mud. Even I feel embarrassed for you."
Hsu Fengnian said bluntly, "You really can't change a dog's habit of eating shit."
Princess Sui Zhu flew into a rage. "Surnamed Xu, I dare you to say that again!"
Hsu Fengnian suddenly pointed at the top of the wall. "Look, there's another sparrow."
Princess Sui Zhu walked over and was kicked by Hsu Fengnian. In the end, she was the one who was hurt. On the way back to the palace after leaving Mawei Post House, Zhang Huan, a member of the imperial family of the fallen Dongyue, said that the Heir of Beiliang was good at martial arts. However, Zhao Fengya, who was stubborn and stubborn, was unwilling to believe it.
Hsu Fengnian boldly reached out and pinched her delicate nose, covering the dots of freckles. He joked, "You finally look better now."
Zhao Fengya bared her fangs and brandished her claws. After Hsu Fengnian let go, he said recklessly, "Don't try to seduce me again and again. I can't marry you. Do you want to marry into Beiliang and become a princess?"
Zhao Fengya spat and said aggressively, "Look in the mirror and see what you're like!"
Hsu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Be careful that you don't marry Chen Zhibao."
Princess Sui Zhu was stunned for a moment. Then, her limpid eyes overflowed with unconcealable fear and panic.
Hsu Fengnian turned and walked away, saying, "I was just saying. But I always jinx it. "
Zhao Fengya caught up and punched Hsu Fengnian hard in the back.
Hsu Fengnian did not respond and turned to the carriage.
Princess Sui Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know that there is a six-character prophecy in the Imperial Astronomer? Rats eat food! Shu eats cold! "
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and said with a smile, "Then why don't you hurry up and become the princess of Shu?"
Zhao Fengya sneered and said, "Can you really let this happen? Once Chen Zhibao becomes a relative of the imperial family, even if you become the King of Beiliang, will you have a good day? "
Hsu Fengnian blinked and turned back to whisper in her ear, "Xu Xiao also asked me to pass a message to you. If you are really forced to be sent to Xishu, tell him."
Princess Sui Zhu did not fight back for the first time. She blinked and whispered, "You're not lying to me?"
Hsu Fengnian said seriously, "Of course I'm lying to you."
Zhao Fengya almost fainted from anger and shouted that she would beat him to death. Her elegant and luxurious white embroidered robe was stained with dust from countless footprints.
She leaned against the wall and could only watch the bastard walk away. She cursed, "Rats eat food, eat you up! The King of Shu will kill Prince Liang and kill you! "
Unexpectedly, the bastard had not gone far before he turned around and opened his mouth, saying three words silently.
"It's true."
Zhao Fengya found that she had never felt so disgusted with the enemy in front of her.
She told herself that she pitied him because his hair turned white at such a young age.
And after his hair turned white, he did not look ugly. Instead, he looked even better.
Zhao Fengya wrinkled her nose and squatted along the wall in a daze. She wanted to cry and laugh.
