If it were an ordinary disciple traveling with a servant, and the master was humiliated like this, it would be inevitable that the servant would jump to become an accomplice, and teach the unrestrained young girl a lesson. But what made Ning Zong more and more uneasy was that not only did the master laugh it off, but the men at the two tables also did not seem to care, especially the white-haired young man and the two men at the table next to him. The way they looked at Hu Chunya was unexpectedly a bit of straightforward admiration, as if the little girl had said these harsh words, she was a first-class heroine of Jianghu. Ning Zong originally hoped that the people at the two tables would fly into a rage so that he could mediate between them. As long as they could settle things peacefully, it would mean that they weren't here for Lord Huang. Not to mention apologizing and apologizing on the surface, Ning Zong, who only wanted to be safe, would be completely fine even if he failed miserably.
However, the situation developed unexpectedly. Those people didn't show any sign of denouncing. Perhaps they thought Hu Chunya's childish words carried no harm, so the white-haired young man didn't force her to sell the half jar of wine. After Huang Shang finished the meal, Ning Zong quickly paid the money and left the inn with them. Just like duckweed meeting on water, they didn't meet again. This made Ning Zong, who was on the horse, feel relieved. He couldn't help looking back at the inn's door and vaguely saw the white-haired young man pour a glass of wine for the man next to him. Hu Chunya was still resentful after being glared at by her companions who had known her for many years. She whipped the horse's butt hard.
Wang Lin, who had followed his father's footsteps, was seriously injured and lost an arm. However, he was still happy and satisfied. Compared with Lu Song who was cautious on the journey to the south, he was also careless in front of Hsu Fengnian. After Huang Shang and the others left the inn, he sat beside Wang Lin with a bowl in his hand. Hsu Fengnian just poured wine for Yuan Zuozong and also poured a bowl for Wang Lin. Wang Lin said flattering words that no one took seriously. He sat cross-legged on the bench unruly with a smile and said, "That sharp-tongued girl definitely doesn't know that she has walked around the gate of hell. Master, you are good at drinking and have a bigger stomach."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and didn't say anything. He just looked at Yuan Zuozong and asked, "Second Brother Yuan, shall we go out and enjoy the scenery?"
Yuan Zuozong nodded and they walked out of the inn together. There was a simple hut outside the inn. The roof of the hut was covered with heavy snow and the hut was in imminent danger. Hsu Fengnian stamped his feet and shook off the snow and mud. He looked at the distance of the Dragon Tail Slope. Further south was the old border of the Southern Tang. The Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty once moved 400,000 refugees to Mount Wushou. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the river on the north. The terrain sloped downwards from the south to the north. It was easy to attack but difficult to defend. The Great General of the Southern Tang, Great Ancestor Gu, proposed to defend the Southern Tang. There were as many as 14 routes for the enemy to come. If they only defended Jiujiang and the capital Luzhou, there would be a chance for them to relax. He proposed to defend the Southern Tang and must fight outside the border of the Southern Tang. It was a pity that the monarch of the Southern Tang didn't accept him. The 300,000 elite soldiers were trapped in Jiujiang and Luzhou. After being surrounded, they surrendered without a fight. Even though Great Ancestor Gu personally led the Southern Tang navy on the Billow Lake and pretended to retreat to Jiujiang to lure the enemy in and almost wiped out the 100,000 navy that was temporarily put together by Liyang, it didn't affect the overall situation. After the fall of the Southern Tang, Great Ancestor Gu, who had an outstanding record in both land and water battles, disappeared. People said that Great Ancestor Gu was born in the right time, but he was born in the Southern Tang. If he was a citizen of Liyang and had made contributions, he might be able to compete with Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang.
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and said softly, "Han Shengxuan was waiting for the rabbit in the Shenwu City. He was prepared to die. As a eunuch, he reached the Diao Temple and became the head of the Ceremony Directorate. After all, he was still a eunuch and had no children. I never understood why he chose the prince Zhao Kai as his loyal subject. Relying on the powerful First Prince Zhao Zhuan or even the Crown Prince Zhao Zhuan was actually a win-win situation. Because the two princes had the same father and mother, they should keep the goodies within the family. If any one of them became the crown prince, Han Diaosi wouldn't take such a risk. I once asked Yin to carry the Spring and Autumn Festival back and forth. I earnestly requested the Sui Sword Eating Grand Ancestor to leave a trace of sword intent on the sword. This way, the Grand Ancestor would have a vague idea of when to borrow the sword to go to the East Sea Martial Thearch City. If I don't put on a good show, even if Wang Lin and Lu Song's eight hundred cavalrymen surrendered to the Northern Liang, they would not be convinced. Most importantly, the Han Diao Temple would also be wary. In the end, he was too careless to rely on the Mysterious Finger to kill the Celestial Phenomenon. The Eastern Sea Sword wasn't as simple as the Celestial Phenomenon. But now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared. "
Yuan Zuozong smiled and asked, "The Sui Sword Immortal?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "I just knew about it. Li Chungang once said that when he came down from the Demon Slaying Platform, he had already dropped a lot. This Daoist Master didn't want to take any advantage when he went to spar. Although Old Man Li's realm dropped, the power of the Two Sleeves Green Snake was still at its peak. The Sui Sword Seeking Ancestor only asked for the opponent's strongest move. Therefore, they exchanged arms and there was no winner. In today's world, other than the Beimang Military God Tuoba, only this Old Ancestor could fight with Wang Xianzhi to his heart's content. But for some reason, there hasn't been any news from the Martial Emperor City. With the Sui Sword Immortal's way of doing things, he has always disdained to engage in shady business. "
Speaking of this, Hsu Fengnian somehow thought of the battle between Đồng Thái and the white-clothed demon outside Beimang's Dunhuang City. The latter's style was similar to the Sui Sword Immortal or even better. She clearly didn't use a sword, but she challenged Đồng Thái. It was enough to show how conceited she was. Outside the Yellow River Dragon Wall, did she really die in the turbulent river?
Yuan Zuozong said with emotion, "Counting with one's fingers, Your Highness provoked the Sword Crown Swordsman of the Wu Clan's Sword Tomb, the eleventh in the world, Wang Mingyin. Later on, you went into the hinterland of Beimang alone and killed the demon Xie Ling. Then, you fought with Tuoba Chunsun and even brought back the head of the Fifth Raccoon of Bubing Mountain. This time, you killed Han Diaosi, so you haven't been idle. I'm afraid there are hundreds of descendants of the Liyang Vassal Kings. None of them are as hardworking as Your Highness. "
The cold wind was mixed with the unique grassy smell of the mountain, refreshing the mind. Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Probably the bigger the melon field, the bigger the thief. The crippled man, the ugly woman, the talented man and the beautiful woman, they are all well-matched. I should feel honored to have these famous rivals in the Jianghu. Second Brother Yuan, you've been hiding your strength all these years. Chen Zhibao has entered the Saint State. It's not right if you don't become a Celestial State. "
Yuan Zuozong laughed and said, "I'm far from being comparable to Gu Jiantang of the Thunder of Mind and Chen Zhibao of the Plum Wine. However, I'm good at fighting. I wonder when I'll be able to fight side by side with Your Highness on the battlefield?"
Hsu Fengnian sighed with his hands in his sleeves, "In Beimang, I heard from an old Beiliang soldier that he often dreamt of the Iron Horse Glacier."
Yuan Zuozong looked into the distance and said softly, "I'm not optimistic about West Chu's restoration."
Hsu Fengnian nodded and said, "Just like Xu Xiao's refusal to rebel in the past. It seemed that he had disappointed many soldiers, but he didn't do it even though he knew it was impossible. It was not easy for him to see the balance of the world. He didn't want to be an emperor. In his words, even if he was an emperor, could he still have three thousand concubines? Or could he eat a few more bowls of meat in one meal? To conquer the world, one needs to rely on strong men, strong horses, and strong swords. To rule the world, one needs countless scholars from aristocratic families to work together and gather sand to form a tower. Since the hearts of the people are not on Xu Xiao's side at all, he will be a short-lived emperor who rules by drawing rivers. I am destined not to live to this day.
Yuan Zuozong smiled from the bottom of his heart, "My adoptive father never plays tricks. He's wise."
Hsu Fengnian turned his head and said, "Fengnian was unscrupulous in the past. I've made a fool of myself in front of Second Brother Yuan."
Yuan Zuozong didn't look at His Royal Highness. He looked at the white mountain scenery, "Yuan Zuozong's blind loyalty is not inferior to Han Shengxuan."
