"Hsu Fengnian."
A woman at the door called out softly. Her appearance was average, but she was imposing without being angry. Beside her stood a young man who looked somewhat similar to the First Prince Zhao Wu. However, compared to Zhao Wu's boorish aura, this young man had a more reserved and refined aura. At first glance, one could tell that he was an expert in jade cultivation. After being humiliated, the boorish man Zhao Wu, who should have been angry out of humiliation, gave a fleeting smile. Only Hsu Fengnian was sharp enough to notice it. Perhaps even the woman, who was focused on the Crown Prince of Beiliang, did not notice it. Hsu Fengnian had wanted to fish out Han Diaosi, who was hiding his head and tail, but he did not expect that it was Empress Zhao Zhi and the Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan who surfaced. He smiled and slowly let go of Zhao Wu's neck. He turned around and bowed slightly. His tone was respectful, but his address was extremely disrespectful. "Nephew greets Aunt Zhao."
Zhao Zhi's expression was complicated. The guilt that she had suppressed deep in her heart floated to the surface. She said coldly, "This is the first time you have addressed me like this, and it will also be the last time. Take care of yourself."
The previous generation of the Xu family and the Zhao family had already cut off all ties. Zhao Zhi, who originally still had a trace of sympathy for the Xu family, had completely extinguished the flickering incense. She suddenly turned around and saw the gloomy white-haired man smiling like a spring breeze. This made Zhao Zhi's heart fill with an unknown haze. She was not afraid that this young man would become the second Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao's rise to power was due to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Six Kingdoms under his horse's hooves. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for his descendants to rely on military exploits. Zhao Zhi was not afraid that he would follow the woman's upright character. She was only afraid that he would not care about anything and would bite people like a crazy wild dog. Zhao Zhuan helped two golden-sabered imperial bodyguards up. The Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan walked forward and helped one of them who was less injured. The imperial bodyguard was immediately filled with gratitude. The two princes, who shared the same father and mother, quietly looked at each other and smiled. Zhao Wu even turned his head and grinned. He made a bloody gesture of cutting his neck with a knife at the Crown Prince of Beiliang. Zhao Zhuan gently pressed down Zhao Wu's hand and smiled apologetically at Hsu Fengnian.
Princess Sui Zhu and Zhao Fengya lowered their heads. Her expression could not be seen clearly. Chen Yu, who had fallen, was still calm and collected. She was also very calm.
The three women sat in the carriage. The First Prince Zhao Wu and the Fourth Prince Zhao Zhuan rode their horses to escort them.
Such a caravan was truly shocking.
Princess Sui Zhu's eyes were full of smiles, but she scolded, "What a boorish man!"
Zhao Zhi shook her head and said, "The ladder was put up by your Fourth Brother. Hsu Fengnian is also smart. As a result, both families walked down the ladder."
Zhao Fengya was confused and said, "I don't understand."
Zhao Zhi lifted the curtain and glared at her son, Zhao Zhuan, who thought he was smart. The latter smiled mischievously and made a face.
Zhao Zhi said calmly, "Hsu Fengnian used this opportunity to tell our Zhao family that the Xu family will only guard the country for the people of Liyang in the future. It has nothing to do with the Zhao family."
Zhao Fengya said angrily, "He's too bold!"
Zhao Fengya was still angry. She snorted and then laughed to herself, almost crying. "Mother, if only I had Li Chungang's ability. I would learn from the old God of Swords and go to Beiliang and shout 'money, come', 'horse, come', and 'knife' a few times. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Hsu Fengnian's family wealth is all gone! Or I could learn from the white-robed monk and hang a Yellow River over his head and drown him with a splash! "
Zhao Zhi touched her daughter's head lovingly. "Childish. You're still young."
Zhao Fengya asked curiously, "Who's the proprietress? The last time I came here to eat mutton with Uncle Xu, we also talked and laughed."
Zhao Zhi's face was covered with a faint layer of melancholy. She shook her head and said, "An old account book that can't be calculated clearly."
Zhao Fengya threw herself into the arms of the current Empress and laughed in a low voice. "Mother, tell me everything. You're only a few years younger than Uncle Xu. Did you have a crush on Uncle Xu back then?"
Zhao Zhi was stunned. She twisted her daughter's ear and said, "Lawless. I should marry you off as soon as possible!"
Chen Yu, who was clearly estranged from the mother and daughter pair, didn't say a word. She didn't ask, didn't listen, and didn't speak.

Some places were at daggers drawn.
Some places were happy and harmonious.
Longhu and Wudang had been fighting for the ancestral court of Taoism for hundreds of years. Perhaps many people had forgotten that 120 years ago, there was a young Taoist priest who looked like a wild fox that drew a talisman dragon in Tai 'an City. It was rumored that after adding the finishing touch, he would fly into the clouds. This rootless duckweed summoned wind and thunder, overthrew ghosts, and suppressed Longhu and Wudang with his own strength. He was highly regarded by the Emperor of Liyang at that time and was conferred the title of Great Spiritual Master Taixuan Fu Hua. He was in charge of the talismans of the Three Mountains and was in charge of the affairs of Taoism. He prayed for snow and rain, and all of them came true. In the hands of the late Emperor of Liyang, he was given the title of Great Spiritual Master Taixuan Ming Cheng. After the current Emperor ascended to the throne, he was given the title of Great Spiritual Master Taixuan Ming Cheng. However, after 60 years, the place where this immortal who had the same surname as the Emperor cultivated declined day by day. There was not a single incense stick in the incense burner. There were green pines and cypresses, which were especially green in the winter. However, there was no immortal aura. Instead, it seemed gloomy. There was a small table under an old cypress tree. Two people were drinking with five maidservants standing behind them. One was a plump maidservant warming the wine, while the other was a thin maidservant brewing tea. The wine pot and teapot were placed on the table with a clear distinction. The person drinking had a withered and solemn face. He looked to be about 40 years old. Probably because of his poor complexion, the twilight was gloomy. Tea drinkers were much more elegant and elegant. Even in the capital where good and bad mixed together, it was rare to see such an outstanding man with such an extraordinary temperament at first glance. He was even more meticulous than a woman in taking care of himself.
Sixty-seven Yuan Benxi. Sixty-four Nalan Youci.
Everyone knew that Nalan Youci had five personal maidservants. In Fengdu, there were three corpses in Dongyue and Xishu. Their nickname was derived from their aura. The maidservants who brewed tea were the three corpses, and the maidservants who warmed wine were the three corpses.
Nalan Youci laid on the sandalwood couch and scooped some spices. He smiled and asked, "Yuan Benxi, are you really going to cultivate Jin Lanting, that white-eyed wolf, as the second blue-eyed boy? Be careful not to lose everything. Although I haven't heard or seen it with my own eyes, I heard from other people that he doesn't seem like a talent that you can entrust with such a big task. He's too full to be a minister. He's poor to the bone. Yan Qing is not a good thing. If you let him assist you in governing the country, aren't you afraid that you'll lose everything after working hard for a lifetime? "
Yuan Benxi said vaguely, "I'll take care of the matters in the capital. You don't have to worry about it."
Nalan Youci took over a black glazed teacup. He swirled the cup with his finger and smelled the refreshing fragrance. It was as if the fragrance of the tea could intoxicate people. He squinted his eyes and said, "I think Lu Xu, the strategist under King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, is not bad. Don't you want to poach him? Without the young blind man's assistance, won't Xiangfan, which controls the waist of the Central Plains, be in your hands? Lu Xu can also take over the mantle of your Traversing Technique. "
Yuan Benxi was expressionless as he drank slowly.
Nalan Youci slapped his forehead. It was not only self-deprecating but also laughing at others. He raised his eyes and looked at the courtyard. "I almost forgot. You, Yuan Benxi, have no children. You're no different from a eunuch. Moreover, you don't make enemies or friends. This is to let the Zhao family rest assured. If you have an heir, it will be the day when you, Yuan Benxi, will be killed. In this case, you should really envy me. "
Yuan Benxi glanced at the man standing behind the King of Yan Chi.
Nalan Youci laughed, "Is Lu Xu really a chess piece of Huang Longshi? Is Chen Yu, who has a noble and honorable life? "
Yuan Benxi raised his head and drank a cup of wine.
