Hsu Fengnian stopped his horse at the intersection between the north and south of the post road. Soon, an extremely majestic green horse appeared. This rider clearly came alone, but it still gave people the illusion that the horse's hooves were like thunder. In Huang Xiaokuai's field of vision, Hsu Fengnian gently squeezed the horse's belly and slowly moved forward. Huang Xiaokuai was speechless. The burly man with a spear in one hand did not wear an official's uniform or armor. It could be seen that His Royal Highness had an illustrious status. He also did not dismount from his horse. Huang Xiaokuai was impressed by the bearing of a martial arts grandmaster and a general on the battlefield. Hsu Fengnian calmly said, "Uncle Xu, you've worked hard."
Xu Yanbing, who went to the border of Youzhou to kill his way back and forth, smiled gently. "Beimang's Hong Jingyan endured and did not make a move. Otherwise, it would have been delayed for a few more days."
Hsu Fengnian turned his horse around and rode side by side with this great grandmaster of Beiliang who was capable of conquering the Jianghu after the old God of Swords Li Chungang. He could not help but ask curiously, "Uncle Xu, if you really want to fight with the world's top ten Hong Jingyan, what are your chances of winning?"
Xu Yanbing hesitated for a moment, then said indifferently, "Within five years, he'll die while I live. After all, I still have the advantage of a realm. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. That person is known as Beimang's Little Tuoba along with the Southern Dynasty's Dong Zhuo. He has extraordinary talent. When he approaches the realm of Earth Immortals, we can only perish together."
Hsu Fengnian nodded. Dong Zhuo's Little Tuoba was referring to this fatty's military talent. After the death of the Fifth Raccoon, Hong Jingyan had seized the opportunity to take over the Rouran Cavalry. After the world's greatest demon, the White Robed Luo Yang, left Beimang, he was already fully deserving of the title of the second strongest martial artist in Beimang. It was said that after Tuoba Chunsun entered the First Rank, he was arrogant. The first person he provoked was this Rouran Lord. He lost miserably, but the more he was defeated, the braver he became. With a public three-year agreement, he announced that he, Tuoba Chunsun, would break through one realm every three years. For every breakthrough, he would fight with Hong Jingyan, causing the Beimang court to look at him in a different light. The jianghu was just this cruel. Anyone could be reduced to a stepping stone for the next legendary figure. Other than the old monster Wang Xianzhi, who could compete with Lu Zu five hundred years ago, there was no one who was truly invincible. The beauty of the jianghu was precisely this kind of cruelty and ruthlessness. It was just that if one wanted to become famous in one fell swoop, practicing the sword was comparatively more difficult. Putting aside the fact that Đồng Thái was too immortal and there was no news of him, there were still many grandmasters of the way of the sword who overlooked the world's forest of swords. They were slightly better at practicing the blade. Only Gu Jiantang was a threshold that could not be bypassed. If one did not defeat them, it would be very difficult to claim that one's swordsmanship and blade techniques were the best in the world.
The travel-worn Xu Yanbing blended into the cavalry and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, have you investigated the background of the master and servant pair of Ruliang?"
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and smiled, "They are characters who came out of nowhere. We have never heard of them before. Not only did our Beiliang's spies not know what to do, maybe Liyang Zhaogou will also be accused of negligence. Actually, Liyang Jianghu shouldn't have been so lonely these years. It was just that many grandmasters who had hopes of reaching first grade were killed by Han Diaosi in secret. Some wandering immortals who pursued freedom, even if they reached first grade and stood aloof from worldly affairs, still couldn't escape from Han Diaosi's bloody cat claws. Basically, every time they secretly left the capital under the emperor's orders, they would bring back one or two bloody heads. I really can't think of anyone who could escape the eyes of the imperial court and Zhaogou and suddenly appear as a first grade expert. Not to mention those second grade sects in the jianghu, even Dragon Tiger Mountain, Wu Family, and Sword Tomb aren't all first grade experts. It is already hard to reach second grade grandmaster, not to mention rare first grade experts. Those who follow the rules won't be able to become top figures. Those who don't follow the rules have all died under Han Diaosi's hands. Who knows who that fellow is, he really doesn't care about his life.
Xu Yanbing asked, "Do you need me to deal with that person?"
Hsu Fengnian still shook his head, "There is no rush. If the Lingzhou Iron Cavalry are all embroidered pillows that can't withstand a single blow, then I'll let Uncle Xu clean up the mess."
Xu Yanbing frowned, "Since he is a first grade expert, even if he is at the lowest Vajra Realm, then even if he can't kill seven to eight hundred cavalry in one breath, it won't be hard for him to escape. Unless that person lands on a vast plain where it is easy for cavalry to charge and is surrounded by many cavalry troops, and we don't give him a chance to rest, otherwise, it will be hard for him to escape. Back then when the Xi Shu Sword Emperor guarded the country gates, he had no choice but to die. That was why he was crushed to death by our Beiliang cavalry. If this person is at the Xuan Finger Realm, with one or two types of celestial phenomenon comprehension that Qi cultivators are proficient in, it will undoubtedly be harder to capture him. When the Beiliang Army stepped into the Jianghu and dealt with the sects of the Jianghu, those who died were the Jianghu people who were unwilling to give up their roots and leave their homes. In order to deal with the fish that escaped the net, they could only use the Jianghu people to capture and kill them. In the words of the general, it was killing the Jianghu people with the Jianghu people. Your Highness mobilizing the troops like this, is it because you want to train the troops in Lingzhou? "
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Since it's a game of cat and mouse, it doesn't matter if the mouse is too fat and the cat is too weak. In any case, there are many kittens that are being forced to work hard, and there are also many falcons that are hovering above our heads. There will always be a time when the mouse will slack off. This Young Master wants to close the door and slowly exhaust it to death. First, we will block it layer by layer, so that it can't move forward quickly. If it wants to kill, it has to be aware that it will be surrounded by a large number of soldiers. Lingzhou has mobilized a large number of scouts from the army to work with the old falcons and the new Eagle Guard. It is just to stop this First Grade Mouse. If they can't even do this well, then so be it if they die. The Senior Commandant standing behind them will also be reprimanded by me. In this training, no matter if that pair of master and servant are numb to killing people, there will definitely be deaths. The Lingzhou officialdom did not kill anyone and I am also holding back my anger. This is to prevent the soldiers of the You and Liang Provinces from thinking that I only know how to talk and not use my blade. "
Xu Yanbing smiled, "Your Highness, it is best that you take away my Lingzhou Deputy General position. Just hearing about Your Highness's complicated officialdom is giving me a headache."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and asked, "Uncle Xu, can you tell me about the First Grade Four Realms?"
Xu Yanbing smiled, "Just talking is useless. Your Highness needs to be able to take a beating."
Hsu Fengnian's eyes lit up, "Then I won't ride a horse and will run with Uncle Xu to the border between Green Snake County and Dongfeng County?"
Xu Yanbing did not express his opinion. The normal spear in his hand swept across. Hsu Fengnian, who had hurriedly reacted, slapped the spear with both hands. As a result, he was knocked off his horse and his body floated several dozen feet away. Xu Yanbing leapt high into the air. At the same time, he raised his arm and threw out a spear. The spear was forceful as if it could split the heaven and earth.
However, this martial artist was faster than the spear and arrived in front of his Highness who was in a sorry state. He stepped on his Highness' left arm and his Highness slid down once again. Coincidentally, the tip of the spear was pointed at him. The Beiliang blade at his waist came out of its scabbard and blocked the might of the spear. Xu Yanbing who was holding the spear shook his wrist and the spear blossomed. Hsu Fengnian was so miserable that he could only retreat again and again. It could be said that he was surrounded by danger.
Huang Xiaokuai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He thought that this fellow was an assassin. Just as he was about to mobilize the troops to save His Royal Highness, Han Laoshan who was sitting steadily on the horse said calmly, "It's fine. Give the order to continue forward."
