Chapter 545 Xu Fengnian killed Huang Chao, and the new Wu Emperor rescued people.
Several vassal kings carrying Jingnan flags were camped on the border. Most of them cherished their feathers, and their personal soldiers were still unscathed. They were just a second- and third-rate generals who held the power of their own, but could not participate in the war at the first time, smelled the fishy smell. The horses are not fat without night grass. There are many bandits around the border, and there are many rebellious acts that have risen up. However, they are definitely not as severe as those reported by the local government garrison. In this way, there were small-scale turmoil, and there were barely scenes of chaotic times with bandits as if they were combed. The soldiers who suppressed the bandits were moved immediately. This was the real army that was like a comb, which made many wealthy farmers who were completely strong in protecting themselves complain. In the end, even the jealous officials of the prefectures and counties suddenly became bolder. They didn’t care about their appearance and sent their confidant amateurs to find wealthy gentry outside their in-laws. In name, they distributed amulets, promising that the government would send troops to protect the territory and the people when the bandits plundered, and asked them to be at ease. No one was stupid, so he had to squeeze out his smile and give boxes of gold and silver to take money and eliminate disasters. Now, even many large money houses with their feet in the capital are useless. As long as there are real gold and silver, the latter can only curse privately, “The official is like shaving.”
Now that I want to go to Wudi City in the East China Sea, unless I take a big circle, I can only pass through Guangling Road and can only walk the “wild road” on the eastmost point. Xu Fengnian, who became a groom, has crossed the border and has seen several dirty things in making money while taking advantage of the chaos. They all happened in the two areas between the “Da Chu” in the west and Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling of Liyang. One of the bandits with more than thirty people was able to ride horses and wear armor. Although most of the weapons were rusted, it was certain that the Hyogo equipment of the old Guangling Road was undoubtedly confirmed. This shows how those Liyang officials who were foreign households in the past twenty years turned a blind eye to the outside world and were only focused on slaughtering the fat of the people.
However, after Xu Fengnian arrived in the east, the situation improved. He was walking on foot at first, but later he met a fierce bandit on the mountain road, chasing a wealthy family far away from right and wrong. At that time, more than a dozen young and strong guards were all dead. Xu Fengnian killed a few bandits who were about to attack women and children, and killed a few more dizzy ones, but they did not chase them all, but let the thieves escape. At that time, a young man with fame and fortune was able to wear a Confucian shirt, staring at him, a savior who was considered a life-saving benefactor, saying that he was willing to invest a hundred kilograms of gold and asked him to kill all the evil people to avenge his tribe, but Xu Fengnian ignored it. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was a serious juren in the court, but he had not yet passed the imperial examination. He was probably a local prodigy in the past and was naturally highly valued in the clan. He was waiting for him to shine his family, so he was inevitably raising a sense of condescending arrogance. When the young man saw that this young and cheap man who was walking in the world had no chivalrous character and suffered another tragedy, he spoke without any hesitation and said a few extremely ugly words. Xu Fengnian was too lazy to argue with a child and continued on the road. However, the head of this little gentry clan was quite kind and hurried forward, scolding the eldest grandson for being rude and giving it to his parents.A carriage made a move to repay the kindness and carefully provided a small stack of silver notes. The old man originally wanted to ask Xu Fengnian to help escort Ansheng place further south. After some tests, he no longer forced himself. In fact, whether it is a carriage or three or four hundred taels of silver, it is all external things. Moreover, so many servants who act as grooms have died, and a few carriages have become burdens and have to be abandoned. Xu Fengnian did not refuse, so he had his current family. Later, some small bandits of gangs and water bandits came forward to harass them, and they were also driven away by lightly. This reminded Xu Fengnian, who was absent-minded, many old people, such as the large group of old people in Qingcheng Mountain, which was not like a bandit at all. As for the heroes of the martial arts world, they remembered He Zhu who rode a horse to Chunshen Lake to report to the Hehe girl. Xu Fengnian felt that after walking through the world several times, he had seen many so-called female heroes, but after counting, it might be that only Liu Nirong from the Yulong Gang and Zhou Qinhu who met Gu Dazu and Zhou Qinhu were more in line with the impression of female heroes in his mind. Their martial arts are mediocre, and their appearance is not amazing and unparalleled. If they met earlier, they were far from the fairies in the martial arts world they longed for when they were young. When they were young, they always thought that female heroes were carved from the same mold. They were nothing more than white clothes and fluttering, and they felt that they would never have to eat, drink, defecate, and even more so, they would not fart or shit. Now Xu Fengnian would never take it so naively.
Xu Fengnian initially insisted that the restoration of Western Chu was just Cao Changqing’s actions against the current, and was destined to be unable to win the world. He could only temporarily live in a corner, unable to sing alone, and then became the credit card of the new generation of young and strong generals in Liyang, and helped the veterans of the Spring and Autumn Period to withdraw from the temple to burst into a bright afterglow. But along the way, I saw many older generation of Western Chu survivors who had endured humiliation for more than 20 years, and I remained silent for the time being. However, Xu Fengnian knew that the more they endured, the more severe the Liyang officers and soldiers were exploiting each other. Cao Changqing, as the backbone, might not be so vulnerable.
When the war is together, many people will die, but a small group of people will be destined to emerge and eventually gain a firm foothold in history. The key now depends on whether there are more Western Chu or more Li Yang. Intuition tells Xu Fengnian that there are many people in terms of the latter, but Western Chu has been prone to have great talents from the great Liang since ancient times. If they don’t make a sound, they will make a splash. Maybe one or two young handsome men who inherited Cao Changqing’s mantle will appear.
The carriage was temporarily suspended in the northeastern border area of Guangling Road. At this time, the entrance and exit portals were completely closed around Guangling Road. This was the last hidden exit portal on Guangling Road. Many people with a background in the martial arts and lakes and related channels rushed into Wudi City to take refuge. The confidant general of the vassal king Zhao Yi was guarding here. Perhaps because he was instructed by his master, he was not afraid of impeachment by the censors, and chose to turn a blind eye. Of course, if someone wanted to leave the country, it was impossible not to lose a layer of skin. Conservatively, Zhao Yi’s Chunxue Tower had more than two million taels of silver in just two decades, not to mention those countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all transported to the tail of the Guangling River in one car.
There are probably three thousand elite soldiers and horses in Zhao familyThe light cavalry guarded it. The roads here are crowded, but they are not chaotic. As for the thickness of the family, you can tell at a glance. Those who are confident, as long as there is enough silver, Song Li, a young famous general in Chunxuelou who holds three thousand cavalry, can even let people enter the post road to rush. If the money is not enough, it will not be in trouble. As long as there is a woman in the family with a good looks, she can deliver it with both hands. Everyone in Guangling Road knew that Song Li, a romantic general, liked women and did not love dead objects in his life. No matter how valuable the goods were, it was said that they would give them to others as soon as they were given to others, but they only liked to collect beautiful women. However, Song Li, who was in his thirties, was still not satisfied even though he had already lying drunk on the knees of a woman who criticized Rouge, and it was rumored that he had stunning stunning people at home. There are women who lost the royal family in the Spring and Autumn Period who were wandering among the people, young chivalrous women from great sects, and women who came from aristocratic families but were willing to make a fuss for him. Among these women, Liu Jiaolu, who ranked sixth with the new rouge, was undoubtedly the most famous. This weak woman has a miserable life and was originally overwhelmed by many people, but fortunately, she was not named “the beauty is poor and the life is poor” by the world.
Song Li’s origin has always been vague, giving people the feeling that he had inexplicably become a new celebrity in Chunxue Tower, the military aircraft of Guangling Road. However, he has been trusted by the vassal kings since then, and is even more brotherly to the prince’s prince Zhao Piao. What’s even more incredible is that Zhao Piao’s infamous prince, the prince’s grandson of the Zhao family, can be calm when facing the fat and thin beauty in Song Li’s family, and even when facing Liu Jiaolu, he can respectfully call his sister-in-law. Moreover, Chunxuelou is divided into two camps. Generals such as Lu Shengxiang and Zhang Erbao who have been promoted to Beijing are in the same way as the chief aide who has a bumpy career because of his ugly appearance, but Song Li is able to get along with the best.
Xu Fengnian lived in an inconspicuous inn in Junzhen. The price had increased several times. He only cost thirty taels of silver a day, and he couldn’t live in a second-class room. Moreover, because people came and went too frequently, he could smell the strong sour smell of sweat when cleaning the quilt. The horses and grasses that pulled carriages and horses had to be considered as silver. It was expensive than the regular meals of guests on other roads, but no one dared to complain. Xu Fengnian’s house was at the end of the second-floor corridor, narrow and dark. On the way to the border, the silver bills had to be converted into a half price and had already been cleared. Then, some real money and silver were scraped off from a bandit, which could probably deal with the crossing. It would be easy for Xu Fengnian to arrive at the already unparalleled Wudi City of the East China Sea faster, but the time is not right. If you want to achieve something really, it would be better to go by it quickly than to go by it, which would be a leisurely thing. Moreover, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to take a few more glances at the people of Western Chu.
At dusk, Xu Fengnian went downstairs to make do with dinner. After chewing it slowly, he ordered a pot of tea. The waiter said it was this year’s new tea in Chunshenhu before Ming Dynasty, but the tea in the cup turned yellow, which was really unbearable. Most of the houses are rich foreigners who talk big, and they can drink and tea. Xu Fengnian found that almost no remnants who were rooted in Western Chu left their hometowns and walked north. Liyang, which pacified the Spring and Autumn Period, was already vast, because there were so many vassal kings who had power in their hands to sever the territory in the hands of the late emperors, and manyNews that are both important and important will be blocked by regional barriers, but there will still be some things that are interesting to the government and the country. One transmission is spread to hundreds of people, with the relatively smooth postal support, and it is delivered extremely rapidly. For example, who is the third-class person in the palace examination that only once every three years? Not to mention the martial arts review and rouge review. However, Li Yang has been looking forward to the most in the past month, there are only two things: one is when Western Chu rebelled, and the other is when he heard the death of a young vassal king in Northern Liang. This death news will of course be a great good news. In the eyes of many people, even if the surname Xu in Beiliang has been in the surname Xu for more than 20 years, since the person slaughtered Xu Xiao died, he might as well give it to Chen Zhibao, the soldier immortal who is expected to be. In the eyes of the world, the King of New Liang is the scoundrel who occupy the magpie’s nest. King of Shu Chen Zhibao can lead two places with one king, and the Western Front of Yang can be peaceful, which is better than squandering the 300,000 cavalry that is the best in the world for the slutty son Xu Fengnian for no reason.
At this moment, everyone in the inn was talking about the second thing. After all, the inn is full of rash spirit. Western Chu will not restore the country. As long as the fish in the pond are not affected, it will be that way. However, without a soldier, there will be Wang Xianzhi, who is a founded land. That is the old monster who is “known together with the Emperor of Zhao”. When talking about this city lord of Emperor Wu, everyone is excited. There is a table of high-ranking guests in the inn with different expressions from those of the world. They are solemn and murderous. Most of them wear swords and the styles are the same. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that this table has an official identity. Moreover, there are several entourages with the same swords at the door outside the store, with sharp eyes. It is a kind of arrogant look that people look at dogs. There are three men and one woman at that table. The woman lowered her head and ate, and occasionally looked up. She looked ordinary, but she had a pair of spiritual eyes that made people forget the world. Especially when she was looking around, it was enough to add too much color to her. Beside her was a short and sturdy man in his thirties, with the other two wearing swords, one old and one young, and the old man was dressed in gorgeous clothes. When he heard the boastful talk in the inn, he couldn’t help but look sarcastic. It was probably the expression of the people in the wellhead ridicule the frog in the well.
Maybe I couldn’t stand the self-righteous noise of those outsiders, so the young man rolled his eyes hard. He wore a Guangling sword wrapped in green silk, imitating the third-generation Xu family sword in Beiliang. Its sharpness is inferior to the first-generation Xu sword, and lightness is inferior to the second-generation. It is relatively the most similar to the third-generation Xu sword, which is suspected of being mediocre. However, experts in military strategy know that there is no best combat sword in the world, and only the most suitable combat sword for the soldiers of our family. Just like the military source in the northwest of the dynasty, it is often tall and long, and has outstanding strength. Guangling Road is inferior. This is a congenital disadvantage and can be changed without human and financial resources. Regardless of whether Zhao Yi’s reputation is good or bad, whether he is good at raising soldiers, at least his skills in raising soldiers are indeed the best among the vassal kings. Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned this fat pig was, he would not be shameless to compete with Beiliang for the title of the world’s number one elite soldier. Guangling Road has the newest armored war horse of the Liyang Dynasty, and the latest Guangling sword has been released quietly, but it has not yet been put into use on a large scale. The young man’s wearing is a new knife that has not been made public. The name will be selected among the Chunxue Knife and the Yilou Knife. It can be seen that this knife was led by Zhao Yi and Guangling Road senior executives.The leader has high hopes. The young man was about to speak out, but he glared at the man who was neither wearing a sword nor aphrodisiac, and immediately fell silent, holding a bowl of wine in a depressed manner, and he couldn’t breathe it off. It was really a pain.
A entourage hurried into the inn and whispered beside the man who was not astonishingly handsome. The man nodded, stood up and walked straight to Xu Fengnian’s table. Chunfeng said with a gentle and gentle look, “This young man has good fortune and reputation, if he doesn’t mind, he might as well come to me to do things. Except for the woman who follows me, she can always give away anything.”
Xu Fengnian asked, “But General Song Li, Chunxue Tower, Hengjiang.”
The man was stunned for a moment, and seemed not to expect that his identity would be seen through at first sight. The old man in the gorgeous clothes around him had just said that this man had a good aura. He was either a first-class master who was hidden and uncovered, or a good qi-raising master who valued intention but not skills, which made the man amazed. It should be noted that the old man who has always been above the top is as famous as Chai Qingshan, the former Southeastern No. 1 Chai Qingshan, the master of Jiandao, is not only a master of swordsmanship, but also in terms of generations, he is also the uncle of Song Nianqing, the leader of Dongyue Sword Chi. He had previously relied on the vassal king Zhao Yi, but because of his reputation in the sect, he had to be “expelled” by Dongyue Sword Chi. Now that Song Nianqing has died unexpectedly, Chai Qingshan has been invited back to Jianchi to take charge of the affairs. In this way, the old entourage around him is the well-deserved number one master of Guangling Road. The old man’s name is very ordinary, Wang Fu, but he has already reached the realm of transformation with a knife, and even became famous before Gu Jiantang. It can be said that Gu Jiantang has been among the top ten people in the world. He has never lost his martial arts review since then. He has walked up on the shoulders of this old man. The old man treasured the famous sword “cough bead”, nicknamed “Ghost under the wrist”. Several martial arts critics guide the people who use swords in the world, all have similar cognitions. There are only a handful of people who are truly proud of swordsmanship, among which Gu Jiantang is the first. Mao Shulang, a native of southern Xinjiang who has been stronger for nearly 20 years after Jiazi’s age, has completely won the sword. In addition, there is no successor, and he has teased the grass carp and insects. Wang Fu invisibly rose to the top, ranking ahead of Yuan Zuozong of Northern Liang, who has abandoned his sword for many years. The reason why this martial arts giant did not enter the martial arts review is that his strength is only a small part of the reason. More because this person had a very poor martial arts morality when he was young. When he met a master, he avoided the battle and was afraid of it. When he encountered a battle in the same realm, he never knew what kind of demeanor was, and he could use any insidious tricks. In order to disrupt the enemy’s mood, someone kidnapped the man’s wife and children before the war. When they showed up, they threw a thumb of the enemy’s youngest son. The enemy, who had always been in a stable and peaceful mind, had no support for his mood and eventually died under Wang Fu’s sword. After he was old, he was still disrespectful and had a very evil spirit. He went to the dark path of swordsmanship. He was particularly diligent in slaughtering those talented juniors in the world, and almost killed one person once.
