If it was really the old immortal who severed the Canglan River with one finger, then it would be incredible. Wang Yunshu immediately had a higher opinion of his father who made enemies on all sides in Lingzhou's officialdom. Not to mention other things, just the fact that he did not see eye to eye with the Administrator made Wang Yunshu feel that his future in this life was bleak. Wang Yunshu's ability to observe people's expressions was even more perfect than Cao Zhun's. When His Royal Highness talked about the old Wudang leader, his eyes and expression were very gentle, and it was not the kind of feminine softness that made others feel cold in their bones. Of course, Wang Yunshu did not know that between the two mountains, Wudang Mountain and Qingliang Mountain, it could be said that even an immortal's sword could not sever it.
The Green Ant Wine that everyone was fond of was readily available in Beiliang. Cao Zhun quickly brought four pots. Hsu Fengnian and Wang Yunshu naturally took two pots. Cao Zhun asked for one pot herself. Snowsuit was not good at drinking, so the last pot was given to the woman in the mink hat who was pretending to be a servant in green. When she handed the wine over, Cao Zhun was suddenly stunned. There was such a beautiful person in the world? Could it be that she could compete with Xiangfan City's Li Shuangjia? Xu Yanbing had already closed the door and became a door god who did not show his emotions. Hsu Fengnian held the small wine pot with two fingers and gently shook it. He asked mischievously, "Do you still hate Li Hanlin now?"
Wang Yunshu drank a mouthful of wine to calm himself down. He had never touched the Green Ant Wine before, but when he drank with His Royal Highness, not to mention the barely tasted Green Ant, even the dregs of the wine would give rise to the feeling of getting drunk. When he suddenly heard this sentence, Wang Yunshu's weak point, he almost spat out the mouthful of wine. He quickly swallowed the mouthful of strong wine. The wine went down his stomach, but his heart was in his throat again. He carefully smiled bitterly and said, "How would I dare? Young Master Li has already made a name for himself on the border. Don't talk about holding a grudge. If Young Master Li comes to Hwangnam County to pay respects to his ancestors, I will lead his horse for him. However, before Young Master Li left Hwangnam County, he said that if he ever sees me again, he will beat me up until even my father won't recognize me. Even if Wang Yunshu wants to apologize, I really don't dare to go to Young Master Li and be beaten up. "
Cao Zhun thought that she had grasped the mystery. This young man from Lingzhou must have some kind of relationship with the Administrator's son, Li Hanlin. He might even be a relative of the Administrator. This was why Wang Yunshu was scared out of his wits. Hsu Fengnian nodded as if he believed Wang Yunshu. He casually asked, "I heard that you have a sworn brother who is a military officer in Hwangnam County. He is in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses. He has three to four hundred armored soldiers under his command. All of them are light cavalry, and their warhorses are all B-grade. They wouldn't be bad even if they were placed on the border of Youliang. They are far more elite and skilled in battle than the military officers in the county?"
Wang Yunshu scratched his head and chuckled. He grinned and said with an honest face, "They are just for show. Of course, they are good looking. If they really go to the border and fight with the barbarians, I don't think they will be good. They are all new soldiers who have never fought before. However, to be honest, many of them are the direct disciples of the gangs in Hwangnam County. They are not good at fighting, but they are good at fighting. Since Young Master Xu has asked about these family scandals, I can only tell the truth. If there is anything wrong, Young Master Xu can tell Wang Yunshu. I will explain it to my father and my sworn brother. In any case, I can guarantee that everything will go according to Young Master Xu's wishes. "
Cao Zhun, who heard every word, was even more surprised. Could it be that this young master from Lingzhou was not as simple as just a descendant of the Li family? Otherwise, how could he give orders to Hwangnam County's military and politics? The conflict between rich playboys would break the sky and fight with each other. The two groups of people would invite immortals to fight until the sky was dark. The worst case scenario would be the soldiers in bright armor being their accomplices. There was no reason for it to be serious enough to shake the foundation of the family. In the impression of the head of the Peach Cheeks House, there really was no young second generation from Hwangnam County who could surpass their parents and challenge those old foxes in the officialdom. Hwangnam County was Beiliang's granary. The officials who could abuse their power here were not simple. Governor Song Yan's methods were swift and fierce, and Wang Gongcao was also famous for being watertight. It could be said that all of them were like a hornet's nest.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "There are too many rich people in Hwangnam County. However, many of them can't find a temple even if they carry a pig's head. In the end, it's because they don't have enough ability. Back then, when they fought for the position of Governor of Fengzhou, it wasn't Uncle Wang who lost to the Administrator. It was the Wang family from the Water School who lost to the Wang family from Longyi. They were suppressed by the Administrator for so many years that they couldn't even become the governor of Hwangnam County. Then, they were ostracized by Song Yan, who was one rank higher than them. It was already not easy for them to be able to sit on the fishing platform and firmly hold the power to distribute the county official's hat. Now, Governor Song is finally going to move from Hwangnam County to Lingzhou to be the Governor. "
Wang Yunshu's expression was complicated. Did His Royal Highness want his father to take a step forward?
Hsu Fengnian didn't keep Wang Yunshu in suspense. He directly explained the stakes to Wang Yunshu. "However, the position of governor still has to be filled by an official from the Wang family from Longyi. The rules in the officialdom are passed down from generation to generation. They can't be broken just because they want to. Otherwise, they'll be hated too much. What I'm curious about right now is whether or not your sworn brother has any real ability. "
Wang Yunshu gritted his teeth and said, "That's my sworn brother."
At this point, he glanced at Cao Zhun, who was listening attentively. Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Miss Cao Zhun, you and Snowsuit go exchange for some fresh food."
Once the outsiders left, Wang Yunshu immediately stood up and carefully worded his words. "Your Highness, my sworn brother is called Jiao Wuyi. He has some ability and has made a lot of military achievements at the border of Youzhou. Unfortunately, he was framed by his colleagues. Not only did my father lose more than ten thousand taels of silver, my sworn brother almost didn't make it back to Hwangnam County alive. However, our Wang family admits to this grudge. Wang Yunshu won't complain to Your Highness. My sworn brother Jiao Wuyi often drowned his sorrows in Hwangnam County in the past few years, but he didn't lose his martial arts. During this time, he often led the soldiers to the river to cut ice and had them jump into the river to freeze. If they couldn't endure it, they had to leave. I'm not trying to deceive Your Highness by saying good things about my sworn brother, but I've never seen such a ferocious commandant. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "If you go to the border and take a look, you'll know that it's nothing."
Wang Yunshu's face immediately turned red. He said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, please don't blame me. Wang Yunshu is short-sighted."
Xu Yanbing coughed softly.
Almost at the same time, Hsu Fengnian waved his hand at Wang Yunshu. Then he turned around and stood by the window, looking at the Shitaki-in.
