Chapter 39 Remembering the princess’s old life, she was in peace and had her sword out of Liangzhou.
The second sister Xu Weixiong studied Wangba’s strategy in Shangyin Academy and learned the skills of scheming. Should she suppress the arrogant Chen Zhibao or go to the Holy Land of Scholars to secretly win over some potential force?
Why can Xu Xiao obviously kill Yan Jiexi’s whole family but not kill him? It’s just because Yan Shunzi is his best friend
Xu Fengnian threw away the leaves, and the two swords of Xiudong and Chunlei were stacked on her knees. Looking at the tombstone, he said softly: “Mom, Xu Xiao will not avenge your grudge. Fengnian still remembers it.”
This year, spring was warm, and the prince’s prince Xu Fengnian rode a white horse out of Liangzhou.
Xu Xiao has been sleeping in the open on the Beiliang border with ordinary soldiers all year round, as if he had to stare at the Beimang’s barbarians with no less than the Beiliang Iron Cavalry in terms of number. After the death of the princess, her children gradually grew up. First, the eldest princess Xu Zhihu married far away from Jiangnan, and then the second daughter Xu Weixiong went to Yin Academy for thousands of miles. Four years ago, His Royal Highness went out for a trip. At least there was a Huang Man’er in the palace, but now she is completely gone.
But the blind old Xu didn’t care about these emperors, generals and marquis’ affairs. For so many years, the news about Dazhu Kingdom was heard from when he went to a winery to buy wine lees. It would be fine if he had heard it, otherwise how could he follow Dazhu Kingdom to fight for many years. But he had seen it once when he was young. At that time, the one who carried the flag was Wang Jian and Wang Juling, the number one vanguard in the army, fought bloody battles. Lao Xu, who was not blind, rushed out of the city gate with Dazhu Kingdom. He watched General Wang kneel down and held up Wanjun city gate with both hands, and allowed Liaodong Pagoda to rush out of the city. At that time, General Xu had not yet been granted the title of Dazhu Kingdom, but just looked back at the city gate.
All the soldiers of the Northern Liang army firmly believed that the Dazhu Kingdom was the number one hero in the world and the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period. Just looking at the achievements, the Dazhu Kingdom was definitely not as good as Ye Baikui, who was praised by Shangyin Academy as the only one in five hundred years. Before the battle in Guanlan City, Ye Baikui claimed that he had never lost in his life. Not to mention that the Ye Wusheng, the Western Chu who lost the national war only after losing one game, even Wang Sui, the son-in-law of the East Yue in the past, was more casual and calm than Xu Xiao. How could there be no embarrassment of only hundreds of cavalry left to escape in a miserable defeat? But the only one who stood tall in the end was Xu Xiao, except for the general in the same dynasty. What’s more, the nine kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, the iron hoof under the King of Xu destroyed the six kingdoms. The Confucian general who became famous twenty years later than Xu Xiao only destroyed two insignificant small countries. How could he stand shoulder to shoulder with the King of Northern Liang? This is the ability of the Dazhu Kingdom!
In the middle of the month, the blind old Xu was not willing to buy wine lees, so he could only sip his saliva to satisfy his cravings.
The blind old man Xu is old and always likes to sit on a wooden pier when the weather is warm. He thinks about the life-living skills taught by his seniors when he was young, the red eyes of killing when he was holding a crossbow, the heads of the army brothers around him were cut off like wheat, the roar of the enemy’s iron horse hooves on the ground, and the spring and autumn scene of the Western Wall.In the last decisive battle, the princess dressed in white and white, and the drums were beaten by the drums. The drums were like thunder, and the entire army was not moved.
Old Xu tilted his head, and his cheeks, which were sharpened like the old tree bark by the war wind and sand, pressed against the smooth wooden crutch. Most of the old soldiers were like this. They were used to fighting swords, bows and crossbows, and luckily withdrew from the army. They always felt that something was missing on their hands. After their legs were broken, the crutch helped a lot.
Over the years, I have always heard a group of scholars saying that most of the old soldiers who worked hard with Dazhu Kingdom died. No one has a good ending. In the end, only Xu Xiao became a king of different surnames. Old Xu Ruo kept his legs and must jump and curse. These scholars with a lot of brains know what they are! Those who have really started fighting will know the saying that the sword is eyeless. The wounds of the Dazhu Kingdom are all fake. They are all smeared on themselves with a knife, a bow, an arrow, and a spear. If even the Dazhu Kingdom did not treat it as the King of Northern Liang, wouldn’t so many old soldiers who did not hesitate to breathe their last breath be in vain? Who else remembers the 600,000 Northern Liang cavalry that were no longer in the world?
The blind old Xu spat and cursed: “Dog-good scholars are the most boring. Old Xu is younger and can slap them all over their mouths!”
Now, a familiar voice came from the head of Lao Xu, who was about to breathe even after walking a few more steps, “Brother Xu, your body is still strong.”
Lao Xu stood up in a hurry and said that the official of the yamen who came to his house to deliver the money. He also ordered several entourages to repair the hut on the spot. As expected, the hut never leaked again after that, and one tael of silver per month was sent to his hands on time. Lao Xu is an old soldier with countless battle formations. He vaguely guessed that the yamen was a man who had worked hard in the army and had a sense of evil spirit. Don’t think that he is really a fool. Lao Xu, who is not brave, does not eat pigs and kill pigs. This is true, but at least he has lived in the army for most of his life. Those brave soldiers who kill dozens of people look more fierce than ordinary people when they eat.
The man gently pressed the blind man Lao Xu who was about to stand up with a crutch and laughed, “Brother Xu sat and talked, “How can I feel comfortable? What are you polite to me?”
Lao Xu didn’t insist. As he got older, he wouldn’t be as strong as a young man. He turned his head and looked at the man, and said in a relaxed mood: “It’s good that it’s okay, I can eat and sleep, so I’ll wait for the end of the month to buy some wine and meat to reward myself. On this day, the world is peaceful, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. This is a very good thing. This is a conscience. Lao Xu is a blind man and can’t say something blind. Sir, is this the reason?”
The visiting person smiled and said, “Lao Xu, you are not blind at all, you are very smart. It’s much better than many officials and generals.”
The blind old Xu said with an old face, “Sir, this is so serious, I dare not take it or not. Our old Xu is just an old man from Beiliang who has not died. He used to hear a boy named Xu talk about something about horse-dressing corpses, but he didn’t understand it very much. Anyway, it’s better to live than to die.I am not afraid of death for a while, and I will not lose no matter how old I live to this age. I just worry about something. One day I fell asleep and couldn’t wake up. I died when I died, but there was no one who carried the coffin. I was worried about this. Then, boy Xu laughed and said that it was really not possible, so he looked for him. But this boy couldn’t say that he wouldn’t be seen all year long. I think it was unlucky. “
The official from the yamen said calmly, “Then boy Xu promised to carry the coffin for you.”
The blind old Xu suddenly became full of energy, “No, this boy Xu is a good person, and the blind old Xu did not make any mistakes when he recognizes people. This boy is a little lazy in many things, climbing the wall and stealing ducks. I am worried for him that he will not be able to find a good wife in the future. Two days ago, Xiao Zi Xu brought a pot of good wine to me and chat, but he said he was going out again. Unfortunately, I was sobered up by the smell of wine at night, so I accidentally drank the remaining half of the pot of wine. How could I entertain adults today? Haha, sir, I’m talking about these messy things with you, don’t think Lao Xu can’t control his mouth. ”
The man smiled and said, “No. Now it’s hard for me to find someone to chat. Brother Xu, I forgot when I came. When I got older, I usually don’t drink except at home. Today I’m apart from waiting. If Brother Xu can afford to wait, I’ll buy it. “
The blind old Xu waved his hand quickly and said, “No, no, it’s important for adults to be busy with important things. How can you waste time and money here? “
The man smiled and enjoyed the afternoon sun with the blind Lao Xu. He spread it warmly on his body, which was more comfortable than any other gorgeous clothes.
