"Also, Wei Xiong, I know you care a lot about Xiaonian, but you're cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Sometimes, you just have to smile at him and he'll be very happy. A few years ago he went to Mount Wudang to practice his saber art. You did not like him to practice martial art, because you were afraid that he would delay your hereditary inheritance. He was even more afraid that you would be unhappy. Therefore, when he picked up the pebbles from the bottom of the deep pool one by one, and chopped them one by one, he made more than three hundred chess pieces for you. As soon as you saw him, you threw the two boxes of chess pieces all over the ground. After that, he personally picked them up. Some of them rolled into Tide-listening Lake, and he spent the whole night picking them up. Father and Yishan watched him in Tide-listening Pavilion for the whole night. Even Yishan, such a cold-hearted guy, ended up drinking to drown his sorrows. When you were young, didn't Xiaonian do many things to make you happy? He clearly knew that Zhihu doted on him, but he still helped you in everything. After Zhihu left, do you think he felt good? Who saw him tearing his heart and lungs apart with their own eyes? Originally, with his temperament, he would have gone to Mount Wudang to pay respects to the old chief, Wang Zhonglou, in gratitude. He was afraid, afraid of Mount Wudang, afraid of that Lotus Peak. He was afraid that he would be a scourge, afraid that the people around him would leave because of him. Fengnian had always given his favorite things to his sister or brother since he was young. The things he kept for himself were only things that outsiders would find valuable. "
Xu Weixiong lowered his head, his expression unreadable.
"In today's world, people in high positions cherish their lives and reputation. The more they read, the smarter they become. Each one of them is so smart that they don't seem human anymore. Who would be willing to carry the coffin of an old soldier who has no relatives or friends? Who would be willing to guard the city gate for a maidservant in a foreign land with no one to rely on? Yishan is such a smart person, so why is his vision so high that even Chen Zhibao doesn't think highly of him and instead thinks highly of him? Why did Old Huang leave without any attachments on his trip to Martial Emperor City? Why was it that Li Chungang had clearly fought with Wang Xianzhi and was still willing to use the battle of Guangling River as the closing battle of his Jianghu career? Why was it that Huan Wen, who was now the second assistant, who had always spoken a few words of justice for the Beiliang, now went against his conscience and did not hesitate to tamper with the transport of grain, racking his brains to make things difficult for the Beiliang? It wasn't that Fengnian's talent in martial arts was higher than those rare Great Grandmasters in Jianghu. It wasn't that Fengnian's intelligence was so great that it was close to demonic. In fact, it was very simple. As long as he sincerely treated people as people and slowly gathered the people's hearts, he would win the overall situation. Back in the day, Dad had gone step by step from a ruffian in the marketplace to a little lieutenant who dared to fight and risk his life. Then he became a general who could easily massacre cities. In the end, he became the King of Beiliang with hundreds of thousands of cavalry. Along the way, he had stumbled and stumbled. In the eyes of many smart people who didn't think highly of Dad, he had made it this far. Dad's opponents, the later they got, the smarter and harder to deal with. But many of these smart people died without understanding why Dad had the last laugh. Dad believed that most of them could only comfort themselves before they closed their eyes that this was the will of the heavens and that Xu Xiao's life was too tough. This saying was both correct and incorrect. Dad wasn't very literate, but he knew one thing. If you didn't let anyone down, many people might not understand. Or perhaps they understood but didn't care. They might even treat you like a fool, thinking that they had taken advantage of you. This didn't matter. In the end, there would still be people who would remember. Even if there weren't many people who remembered, they would all be willing to put in effort and then fight to the death. Even if it was one against two, he would still be unrivaled. If he lost, it didn't matter. He could still make a comeback. There were more than six hundred memorial tablets below the Tide-listening Pavilion, as well as Fengnian's old soldiers respectfully sending him off before he entered the capital, all of this was proof. Therefore, Dad was more certain than anyone that the Beiliang in the future would be even more of a headache for Beimang than when it was in Dad's hands. When her father was still young, it wasn't that he didn't want to be a stable rich man. That way, he could at least give his children a peaceful life. But Chen Zhibao was good at everything, except that he was too smart. Once a smart person made a mistake, it would be a huge mistake that no one could reverse. Fengnian was also smart, but he was far better at listening to others than Chen Zhibao. Now that Dad was dead, Chen Zhibao wouldn't put anyone in his eyes, nor would he believe that anyone was qualified to be on equal footing with him. If one day he wanted to become Emperor, he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice all of the Beiliang cavalry to achieve his goal. "
After Li Yishan's death, Xu Xiao didn't even seem to be able to deceive himself and others. At this point, the hunchbacked old man couldn't hide his weariness. He stopped talking and gently reached out to help Huang Man 'er tidy up his collar. Finally, he said softly, "Huang Man' er, in the future, don't risk your life so easily. If you die and your brother survives, how sad would he be? Dad will tell you, he would be even sadder than if he were alive. But you still have to do more things that can make your brother's life easier. Although your brother was reincarnated into the Xu family earlier than you, so he is destined to bear the burden, in the future, in Mount Qingliang, the only man left in the Xu family who can talk to him is you. No matter if it's Xu Beizhi or Chen Xiliang, no matter how loyal they are, they are still not as close as family members. Huang Man 'er, this is the first time your brother left home in a fit of anger to travel the jianghu. His greatest wish wasn't to become a hero, but to snatch back a great beauty for you. When you went to Mount Longhu, every time you received a letter, your brother, who has a photographic memory, clearly knew that it wasn't written by you, but he still read it over and over again. Weixiong, this time when he saw you sitting in a wheelchair, you purposely didn't look at him grinding ink, but dad saw that his hand was constantly shaking. "
The old man reached out and patted Xu Weixiong's head, but didn't say any words of comfort.
Xu Longxiang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes resolute. The two Tiger Kui were so frightened that they instantly fled. They paced back and forth in the distance restlessly, not daring to approach the unfamiliar black-clothed youth.
The old man slowly walked back to the courtyard.
The loquat tree was still green in the winter, but the old man stood alone, all alone.
But the old man wasn't sad. He smiled and said, "Wife, our Xu family has already been supported by Fengnian. Wait for me, I won't make you wait too long. "
