At first, Zhou Qinhu thought he was mocking her, but seeing his calm smile and not knowing how to respond, she did not respond. Although she understood the ways of the world, she did not want to do things against her will and speak against her will. This made people feel that she was cold and distant. In fact, to be able to escort Huang Shang to the capital, one could see that she was a warm-hearted and kind-hearted woman. Hsu Fengnian hid his hands in his sleeves and gently leaned on the railing. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "When I was young, I always wanted to be a famous hero. I wanted to be the type where women would fall in love with me wherever I went. That's why I often discussed with my two elder sisters what kind of nickname we should use when we roam the Jianghu in the future. At that time, we wrote down dozens of names on a piece of paper, but we were not satisfied with any of them. They were either not imposing enough or too obscure. I also thought that it would be good to find a beautiful heroine to be my wife. Later, I found out that it was not easy to be a heroine. Practicing martial arts all year round, it was difficult to have tender skin. Not to mention other things, just looking at how awe-inspiring she was when she rode a horse would cause her butt to have calluses. What's more, he had to worry about those followers who prostrated themselves under the skirt of a pomegranate. If by any chance he encountered a highly skilled flower thief, or a local hedonistic son of a rich family who was fond of heroines, it would be even more of a headache. I remember the first time I roamed Jianghu, I saw a famous one. Her makeup was so thick that you could smell it from miles away. Her entire body, from the hairpins on her face to the bracelets on her hands, from the clothes on her feet to the boots on her feet, she had a good background. Afterwards, I found out that every shop paid her at least one or two hundred taels of silver every year. Over time, I did not believe in heroines. I felt that calling a woman a heroine was like scolding her. "
Zhou Qinhu smiled sweetly.
Hsu Fengnian sighed. "Jianghu is actually very similar to the old Western Shu. Before the world was in chaos, Shu was in chaos. The duck knows when the spring river is warm. When the central government is in turmoil, it will inevitably affect other places. Even before the central government is settled, Jianghu is already in a state of panic. Those large and small gangs in Jianghu find a husband early and enjoy life early. Those who marry late or not often do not have the family background to support them. Most of them will be bullied. From the small fish and shrimp of the Fish-dragon Gang to the sword-making family of the Youyan Mountain Villa, none of them were spared. I heard that the young King of Jing An in Xiangfan City is interested in taking a concubine. I don't know how long the Snow Mountain Villa can last. "
Zhou Qinhu suddenly went straight to the point and asked, "Young Master Xu, may I ask if the Dongyue Sword Pond Cottage and Wild Goose Castle leaving the villa together has anything to do with you?"
Hsu Fengnian asked in return, "Miss Zhou thinks so highly of me? Why don't you just ask me if I invited Great Emperor Zhenwu? "
Zhou Qinghu was about to speak when Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "By the way, I'm temporarily a minion of the Dragon Palace in the old Southern Tang Empire. My name is Zuo Jing. If someone asks about me in the future, Miss Zhou can answer this way."
Zhou Qinhu nodded. Hsu Fengnian turned around and saw Huang Liang, who was crawling on the outside of the ship, with a calm expression on his face. Zhou Qinhu did not see the slightest fluctuation in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. Not to mention the reasonable disdain and ridicule, she did not even feel pity for him. Zhou Qinhu said his goodbyes and walked into the warm-as-spring cabin. Hsu Fengnian leaned on the railing again, feeling bored. So, he softly hummed a nameless tune that was widely circulated in Beiliang. Don't you see the fishes in the Northern Underworld swim for tens of thousands of miles? Don't you see the immortals at the peak of Kunlun pass through the Heaven's Gate? Don't you see the men riding lightly out of the cold and returning with their corpses? Don't you see the women leaning on the door until their hair turns white …
Since there were men of sacrifice secretly escorting him, Hsu Fengnian did not deliberately suppress his sleepiness. He rested his chin on his sleeves that were still warm from his hands and closed his eyes.
A small boat with a black canopy quickly cut across the calm lake. A woman dressed in green and holding a white hat leaped onto the colorful boat and stood at the other side of the stern. With a complicated look in her eyes, she called out softly, "Young Master Zuo."
Hsu Fengnian opened his eyes and turned his head without turning around. "Young Palace Master Lin, I'm honored by your presence. Forgive me for not welcoming you."
The young woman, who had never shown up in the Quicksnow Mountain Villa as Lin Hongyuan, now had a look of respect from the bottom of her heart. Compared to when they had first met, the look in her eyes was one of hatred. In Lin Hongyuan's mind, Zhao Ningshen was the reincarnation of the founder of the first generation of Longhu Mountain. He would definitely become the number one person in the world in the future. With the addition of Yu Yiqing, he would have more weight than His Royal Highness in the bitter cold of the Northern Region. Lin Hongyuan was a woman who didn't remember good things or bad things. However, if she was really hit hard and hurt, she would still remember a little. Previously, when she got along with that bastard surnamed Xu, her schemes were seen through every time. That guy wouldn't show any mercy to her. Now, Lin Hongyuan didn't know whether she hated him more or was afraid of him more. Lin Hongyuan, who had changed into the face of a female official of the Dragon Palace, was about to move. Hsu Fengnian said, "I received a secret report that the eldest son of Zhao Bing, King of Yan Chi, was hiding in the team of the Dragon Palace. He should not be the bearded man. So you are really arrogant to let the Crown Prince carry the bed for you."
Lin Hongyuan's face suddenly turned pale.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the small boat with a black canopy following the colorful boat. Master Hao was an ordinary strong man. Hsu Fengnian waved to him.
The young man hesitated for a moment and jumped onto the stern. After no longer hiding, he suddenly became high-spirited and heroic.
He waved to Lin Hongyuan, making the woman who wanted to say something but hesitated to keep quiet.
In the vast Nanjiang, Nalan Youci could come and go as he pleased with Zhao Bing, King of Yan Chi. Only His Royal Highness favored him and regarded him as a friend of the same generation.
In terms of reputation, this Zhao Zhu His Royal Highness was better than the First Prince Zhao Wu. If it was a few years ago, if anyone compared Zhao Zhu with Hsu Fengnian of Beiliang, it was tantamount to insulting His Royal Highness of King of Yan Chi.
Zhao Zhu grinned and said, "Xiaonian, do you remember the little beggar who wanted to learn sword from your mother in Dantong Pass?"
Hsu Fengnian said flatly, "I don't remember."
Zhao Zhu looked resentful. He squatted on the ground and bit his finger, sighing.
Lin Hongyuan was flabbergasted.
In Nanjiang, there was a secret message circulating in a small circle. It said that the reason why Mr. Nalan was willing to stay in King of Yan Chi was that he liked Zhao Zhu's ambition to go north.
Zhao Zhu joined the army at the age of twelve. Ever since his father, the king, helped him build his first small tomb with several heads to show off his military exploits, Zhao Zhu had killed people like flies, gathered the corpses of his enemies, and sealed the tall tombs. In the past few years, he had built a total of twenty-one temples.
All the barbarians in Nanjiang surrendered.
Zhao Zhu's favorite thing to do was never to pretend to be cultured, but to secretly go south with dozens of retainers. Often, he would go and come back for a month, uprooting the enemy's strongholds hidden deep in the miasma, leaving no survivors.
Every time His Highness didn't show up for a banquet or event, everyone immediately understood that His Highness had slipped away to slaughter people again.
But at this time, facing Hsu Fengnian, Zhao Zhu didn't know why he was so gentle, respectful, and thrifty. He raised his head and said sadly, "Xiaonian, you're no longer the good brother who took off his pants to compare size with me."
Hsu Fengnian scolded, "Is there a brother who owes money for more than ten years and doesn't pay it back?"
Zhao Zhu immediately laughed and threw a bag of copper coins to Hsu Fengnian, "Here. When we parted, you said that you wanted to be a hero. You also told me earnestly that I shouldn't become an old beggar. I've always remembered it in my heart. I didn't want to spend a single coin in this bag of copper coins. "
Hsu Fengnian caught the cloth pouch that was sewn together and was speechless.
