Ever since the miser Li Gongde became the Administrator, his ability to make peace was top-notch. He tried to persuade everyone to make peace and not break up. Thus, Lingzhou became more and more harmonious. Other than the Zhong Family, whose roots were in Longqing County, which was a little unhappy, the rest of the families were still doing well. Moreover, Old General Zhong's eldest son, Zhong Chengxin, was still the Governor of Longqing County. The new noble of Northern Liang, Xu Beizhi, was just a small soldier who was promoted three ranks. His position was not that high, but he continued to work for Sir Zhong. It could be seen that the Zhong Family and the Xu Family were not at the point of falling out. However, there was a piece of news that quickly spread in the Lingzhou officialdom. The two retainers of the Great General, Han Laoshan and Xu Yanbing, had both become Lingzhou's Deputy Generals. His Royal Highness, who had returned to Beiliang after causing a ruckus in the capital, actually became Lingzhou's General. This made people feel that it was a bit inconceivable. Many retired generals were silently cursing why the Crown Prince did not just sit on the chair of Beiliang's Protector General. Why did he extend his hand into the Lingzhou officialdom? This was not very proper. Anyways, after the new year at the border of Youzhou, there would be a martial arts examination that was held once every three years. Everyone knew that the Great General had already started to make arrangements for his death. According to the whispers in the Lingzhou officialdom, rather than Crown Prince Hsu Fengnian not being liked in Lingzhou, it was better to let Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong's two foster sons help him to become the Commander at the border. Whether it was showing off or hiding in the abyss, it was fine if everyone did not see it and did not feel annoyed. No matter what, it was better than taking over the hot potato that was Lingzhou's General.
The mansion of the Administrator was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The doors were wide open to welcome the guest. Sir Li, who was already a rank two border official, was grinning from ear to ear. He treated the Great General who suddenly came to the Li Mansion like a Bodhisattva. After obtaining the inside information that His Highness was going to become Lingzhou's General, Li Gongde talked until his mouth was dry. He finally got an old neighbor on the same street to vacate a beautiful mansion. He temporarily hung a plaque and turned it into the Lingzhou General's Mansion. Lingzhou's capital had a beautiful Jinou Lake. There were only a few mansions that had the qualifications to draw water into the mansion. The old owner who occupied this place used to be an old general under Beiliang cavalry commander Zhong Hongwu. Later on, he got closer to Dian Xiongzong and the other young generals under Chen Zhibao. Li Gongde took advantage of this weakness and used both kindness and power to make the old general leave with his many beautiful wives and concubines. At this moment, Hsu Fengnian, who had just become a standard fourth-rank general, was taking a leisurely stroll in the General's Mansion. Previously, he had gone to the Li Mansion to show his face before leaving. He really couldn't resist the Administrator's attentiveness, so he left behind Xu Xiao and Yuan Zuozong, Han Laoshan, to accompany him. He brought along one of Lingzhou's deputy generals, Xu Yanbing, to walk through the corridors and corridors. Of Wang Xiu's two junior brothers, Han Laoshan could be considered familiar with the art of war, but the martial arts maniac beside him, Xu Yanbing was just barely passable. Compared to Han Laoshan, who really wanted to take root in Lingzhou and consolidate at every step, Xu Yanbing was just there to deal with unexpected situations. Moreover, Xu Yanbing's personal ambitions did not lie here. Before he left the Li Manor, Xu Xiao had a playful look in his eyes, saying that there was a little surprise waiting for him in the house. Hsu Fengnian did not have any expectations. He had seen many immortals of the Jianghu flying around. Since he had slacked off on the path of martial arts, needless to say, the secret manuals could be sold at a low price at the Tide-listening Pavilion. He also did not care about divine weapons and sharp weapons. As for women, his two future concubines had followed him to Beiliang, so Hsu Fengnian did not want to attract any emotional debt. However, when Hsu Fengnian suddenly saw the young girl dressed in Beimang's grassland woman's attire, he was somewhat stunned and pleasantly surprised. He never would have thought that it was the young girl who had great connections with the Beimang imperial family, Huyan Guanyin. Back then, in order to save the tribe she was in, he had stopped the herd of wild bulls in the canyon. Only then did he engage in a deathmatch hunting with Tuoba Chunsun, who was favored by the heavens at the right time and place. At that time, Hsu Fengnian had almost lost his life to Tuoba Chunsun's lightning spear. Xu Yanbing was very tactful; he went to another place to enjoy the scenery, leaving Hsu Fengnian alone with the girl. Hsu Fengnian pondered for a bit and understood. After he returned from Beimang, he told her everything in detail about his dangerous experience. During this time, he mentioned Huyan Guanyin's Qiang flute. He reckoned that it was Xu Xiao who followed the vine to find the melon and brought her from Beimang to Lingzhou.
Hsu Fengnian sat with her in the pavilion. He asked her in the prairie language, "Your brother Ah Baoji didn't come to Beiliang?"
The girl with the appearance of ninety-five wen was obviously not as melancholy and sentimental as the girls of the Central Plains. She shook her head and said with an open-minded smile, "My brother is a young eagle on the prairie. The prairie is his home. My brother also said that he must become the biggest chick on the prairie and have the most extensive and fertile pastures. In the future, he will bring our benefactor to gallop on a horse and snatch the most beautiful girl, the fiercest warhorse, and the best wine for our benefactor. "
Hsu Fengnian remembered the strong-headed child who liked to roll around in the sheepfold. He had the boldness to pick up a lamb and throw it around. He smiled and said, "He's much more ambitious than me."
The young girl, whose style was between a young girl and a married woman, had a curious look on her face. She couldn't help but gently smile and ask, "Our benefactor always said that he was a scholar from Gusai Prefecture. How did he become the son of a prominent family in Beimang, the arch-enemy of Beiliang?"
Hsu Fengnian leaned against a pillar and looked at the small lake in the mansion. He sighed and said, "It's probably the so-called unpredictable affairs of the world."
Huyan Guanyin said softly, "There was an old man who was more dignified than the biggest chick on the prairie. He ordered me to be our benefactor's maidservant in the future and serve our benefactor's basic necessities."
Hsu Fengnian said softly, "You don't have to listen to him in the future. We Beiliang women always like to carry swords, ride horses, and draw bows. No one can restrain you. Even if you feel that this place is boring and want to go back to the prairie to see your brother, I can send someone to send you to the north."
The delicate Qiang flute tied to the waist of the dainty and beautiful woman was unexpectedly gloomy and speechless.
The Death Soldier suddenly appeared outside the pavilion and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Xu Beizhi and Wu General Wang Zhi from Dragon Eye County have come to visit."
