The fire on the Dragon Tail Slope burned the simple inn and the corpses of the soldiers. Hsu Fengnian squatted at the side and spread his hands lazily to warm himself. Looking at the ashes on the ground, he could not help but think of Great Ancestor Gu's military book "Ashes". There were 16 volumes, which detailed ancient and modern strategies, the situation of the territory, the importance of public lands, naval warfare, river defense, and many other elements. It first proposed that the land was the foundation of the country's military strategy, and gave an incisive overview of the world. Xiangfan was the land of the world, and Beiliang was the land where lions hunted rabbits. In fact, they all came from the same "Ashes". Secondly, the situation and the imperial government complemented each other, and neither could be missing. Especially the emphasis on the exploration of mountain sand mines, it could be said to be all-encompassing. Li Yishan's vision was very high, and he sincerely admired "Ashes", praising it as a new paradise for the military strategists of later generations. Unfortunately, the Southern Tang Dynasty collapsed, and half of the 16 volumes were confiscated by the national treasury. Most of them were pocketed by Gu Jiantang, and the remaining eight volumes were scattered among the people. Beiliang only had three volumes. When Hsu Fengnian was young, he was often punished by Li Yishan to copy miscellaneous books. The three volumes of "Ashes" undoubtedly made him suffer a lot. At that time, he would never have thought that today he would be drinking at the same table with the military book's author, and that they would return to Beiliang together. If they met earlier, perhaps his master would have had another drinking buddy.
Hu Chunya stared blankly at this sloppy guy. Not only did he order his retainers to kill the Dragon Tail Slope, he even had the mood to leisurely warm himself by the fire. Why didn't he hurry up and run away? She did not even have a good impression of this guy in white. After escaping from death, she did not even think of thanking him, let alone repaying his kindness. She just felt that he was not pleasing to the eye. It would be nice if she could step on his snow-white body a few times and leave a few black mud marks on the soles of her shoes. However, Hu Chunya subconsciously glanced at the nine feet tall man not far away. It was this person who walked out of the inn. After a few sips of wine, it was completely quiet outside. He dragged the corpse of the Iron Lu City's master archer general into the burning inn like a dead dog. Seeing this, Hu Chunya, who was hiding in the thatched shed, almost vomited. As for the young Li Huaier, who was ignorant of worldly affairs, his eyes were wide open from the beginning to the end, foolishly watching people collect the corpses. He firmly believed that this group of elite armored soldiers had been punished by the heavens, and refused to believe that they had been killed by humans.
The hut was not burned down. Great Ancestor Gu and Huang Shang stood in the hut and looked to the south together, sighing.
Birds of a feather flock together. Ning Zong, Xu Zhan, and the woman surnamed Zhou naturally gathered together. The woman took advantage of the fire to retrieve her sword. Her hands were badly mangled, but fortunately, her muscles and bones were not injured. She applied an exclusive golden sore medicine and wrapped it in a clean silk cloth, and did not care about it anymore. No matter if one traveled alone or in a group, gold, silver, and soft goods were a necessity in Jianghu. The delicate bottle to hold the ointment was even more indispensable. The woman surnamed Zhou was not old, but she was already experienced in Jianghu. She relied on herself to reach the third level of strength. For a woman who could not be said to have any family inheritance, it could be said to be a miracle.
Hu Chunya had always been rude when speaking, and this time was no exception. She heartlessly asked a question that made Ning Zong's eyelids tremble. "Will this guy kill us to silence us?"
The woman surnamed Zhou put her palm on the sword hilt and remained silent. To a swordsman, a sword was not only a lover's beauty, but also a lover's love. Sometimes, it was also a strict senior. Looking at a sword was like looking at a person, reminding people that Li Chungang once held a wooden horse and ox with a sword, Đồng Thái also twisted a peach branch like holding a sword, and the Nine Swords of the Wu family held a sword until they died in the Wilderness of Beimang. In Jianghu, there were many sabersmen who turned to swordsmanship, and few swordsmen who turned to other weapons. Practicing swordsmanship from childhood to old age, they stuck to one thing until death. Even if they could not achieve anything in their lifetime, they would not abandon the sword midway. Although Xu Zhan's family had declined, a dead camel was still bigger than a horse, and his family was still not thin. His father, Xu Dachu, wrote the "Observing Skills Scripture", which could be said to be a comprehensive collection of staff techniques. When the Xu family of Lianghuai was mentioned, even the bandits who disregarded human life would give them a thumbs up. It was only because it was said that when Xu Dachu was young, he was fortunate enough to meet the Spear Immortal Wang Xiu. At that time, the famous Great Guru saw that Xu Dachu's foundation was not bad, and taught him a secret formula. In the eyes of the Wulin people of Lianghuai, it was tantamount to building a friendship with a real immortal on the earth. It was just that fortune and misfortune came together. After Wang Xiu was killed by Chen Zhibao, the foundation of the Xu family, which had been relying on the Spear Immortal for many years, began to decline day by day. It was no longer the same as before. Xu Dachu died depressed, and Xu Zhan was used to seeing the fickleness of human nature, so his temperament became colder. Compared to Hu Chunya's pure disgust, which came from instinct, Xu Zhan had a few more hidden feelings of jealousy and reverence for that enigmatic Young Master. However, he did not want to be noticed by Zhou Qinghuai, so he was suffocating.
Zhou Qinghuai said calmly, "I only heard that Master Huang will not be going to the capital for the time being, and will be going to Shangyin Academy to visit a friend. I don't trust this group of people, so I will accompany them. Uncle Ning and Young Master Xu, what do you plan to do?"
