Chapter 724: The city never sleeps for snow lotus, Xu Fengnian slaughtered chickens
The woman who had already recognized Xu Fengnian’s identity nodded and replied respectfully: “Yu Qingling is an orphan from Xuelian City. She entered Xuehelou since she was a child. She was the confidant who was cultivated by the slaves. But to be cautious, she was not until four years ago that she entered the third-class room in Fushui Room. She made a small contribution last year. She was just promoted to the second-class room in the spring of this year. She is currently responsible for keeping a close eye on Liu Huaixi, the number one local snake in the city. This person is nicknamed “General Liu”. He is a native of Xuelian City, and his subordinates can provide direct support. More than a thousand men were dispatched, and they were also very influential in Nanzhao. Several of the mature forces were grateful to Liu Huaixi. I suspect that Liu Huaixi was the first character to be supported by Zhao Gou in Liyang, but the three Zhao Gou spies died one after another in autumn and winter last year. Whether Liu Huaixi has been rebelled by Beimang or Western Shu now needs Yu Qingling to find clues. If he can attract me to the Fushui Room, Yu Qingling will be considered as a second-class room.”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Liu Huaixi was able to move around and move among several major forces, get along well with his own strength, and constantly strengthen his strength. He first stood out from a market and gained a foothold. At the age of thirty-five, he had already become a prince in the southern part of the Western Regions. Such a courageous and skilled hero is naturally very personal charm. The spy said that even the daughter of the Liyang Prince of Nanzhao was willing to be his behind-the-scenes woman, and she was willing to elope for him.”
The woman glanced at the woman who was at a loss and stood there at a loss, and chuckled softly: “It is best to be able to retreat after she can achieve success. Even if the corpse is not there, it is not surprising that if you are accomplice for the tiger, it is worthy of death. Since Yu Qingling entered the Fushui Room, he can distinguish between public and private.”
The next sentence fully demonstrates the iron-blooded style of “Madam Song” as a top spy: “If there is a mistake, we don’t need to give instructions from the water room. I can clean up the door by myself, and I will apologize to Manager Chu for unknown people.”
Yu Qingling bit her lip and stood there gracefully, making her pity for life.
Xu Fengnian looked at the moving woman who was well-known in Xuelian City: “Yu Qingling, what kind of person do you think Liu Huaixi is? Tell me what kind of person you think is.”
She still couldn’t guess who this young man was, but since she could make Mrs. Song, nicknamed “The Queen Mother”, was so serious that she even tried to purify herself to the point of calling herself a “slave”, Yu Qingling believed that she must be the big figure in the Fushuifang who came to Xuelian City. She was nervous and carefully prepared for her words and replied: “Is there a ruthless heart, but she has feelings and righteousness.”
Xu Fengnian laughed at it: “Is there a ready-made snow lotus in Xuelian City recently?”
The woman said, “It’s a coincidence that not only has it, but there are two. One was found by Liu Huaixi’s mansion, and the other was the news that a young man in the city learned from his father’s last words. After waiting for six years, he went to the snow mountain to check the lotus buds four times. After going through a lot of hardships, he has been here today.Retrieval in the year. The former is waiting for a price. It is rumored that Liu Huaixi’s original intention was to give the snow lotus to the Prince’s Mansion of Nanzhao County as a plea for his father-in-law. Later, it seemed that the weaving bureau, which was under the jurisdiction of the two major vassal kings in Western Shu and southern Xinjiang, had a purchase intention and wanted to worship the current queen and take on the new king of Zhaoshi in Liyang. However, there was also a top expert in the Central Plains who had been waiting here for many years. He spoke out and was willing to trade for Liu Huaixi for the snow lotus, as if he wanted to treat a woman. After the lotus-picking boy returned to the city with the snow lotus and an old man who had lost his legs on his back, various forces began a new round of struggle. After all, the snow lotus is too hard to come by. It was sold at a high price of 30,000 taels of silver thirty years ago. Now it has a price but no market, and it may not be able to buy it even if it is 100,000 taels. The ignorant boy was just stubborn and said that his snow lotus would not be sold, but was just going to give it to a girl from Majiabao. The girl was the daughter of the Ma family fortress. She had already arranged a good family with her father. Perhaps it was because she had an association with the Lotus-Cailian boy, which made the boy so persistent and wanted to fight for his life. Now the boy and the snow lotus stored in the ice cellar were blocked by the Central Plains master at the door. Some kind of agreement should have been reached between the two. Without the protection of the sword master, the boy would probably not be able to find his body long ago. “
Mrs. Song asked in a low voice: “Snow Helou needs to compete for the two snow lotus if needed…”
Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said: “Don’t need Xuehelou to interfere, just tell me the exact location of the two snow lotus.” “
Mrs. Song’s eyes were hot and firm, and she said in a deep voice: “Since the Fushui Room has set up Xuehe Tower in this city, is it just a decoration? How many people have been killed in the borders of Liangyou and the two states? Even if Xuehe Tower is dead, how many people can die?”
Xu Fengnian smiled and said: “Mrs. Song said that Xuehe Tower has clear distinction between public and private affairs, and I should do this too. “
Mrs. Song shook her head and said, “It’s different! “
Xu Fengnian looked at the woman who seemed to die at any time and said calmly: “I have the final say. “
Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment.
Xu Fengnian glanced at the door, coughed, and said to Mrs. Song: “Please ask the inn to help me prepare a carriage. I want to go to the Cailian Boy immediately. Just point the groom. By the way, give the inn shopkeeper more money. If you need it after this, I will definitely look for you Xuehelou. If not, don’t make any decisions. Just treat it as the rule of Fushuifang. “
The two carriages parted ways outside the inn. Mrs. Song squatted in the carriage expressionlessly. She was about to go to General Liu’s mansion to feed tigers with her body, Yu Qingling, who was brave enough to ask something. Mrs. Song, whose eyes were closed, said coldly: “Don’t ask if you shouldn’t. “
In another carriage, Xu Fengnian sat leaning against the wall of the cabin, Jiang Ni sat upright, with his back against the red sandalwood sword box, his face unstable.
The carriage was circling around and came to a narrow and dark alley opening, the honest manHe stopped the carriage, lifted up the curtain and apologized, “Young master, Miss, the alley is small, the carriage cannot enter, you have to walk thirty-four steps forward.”
Jiang Ni got off the car first and said, “Hold on the wall.”
Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly. After the groom’s support got off the car, he told the groom not to wait for someone to go back to the inn. He really could only move forward with the wall. The more embarrassed he was, the more embarrassed he would be. Jiang Ni was not very big, and he walked slowly five or six steps ahead, but he didn’t forget to laugh and said, “If I went to the Xuehelou overnight, I wouldn’t be able to walk on the wall tomorrow.”
This was not stopped, and she added insult to the insult: “‘Forget the girls in other alleys, we’re eating the Xuehelou sign’. Tsk, we’re worthy of being a playboy with the Tianzi brand, and it sounds like a veteran of the Cong said.”
Xu Fengnian smiled angrily and said, “It’s so reasonable to eavesdrop on others’ words.”
Jiang Ni snorted coldly: “I have a bright ear, otherwise you would think I would be happy to hear such dirty words.”
The two of them came to a dilapidated yellow mud house without walls. Jiang Ni stood with her hands on her chest, carrying a red sandalwood sword box, and Xu Fengnian put one hand on her shoulder to stabilize her body, but she dodged it, so Xu Fengnian had to support her hands on her knees and bent over. On the steps in front of the house, a middle-aged man with a sword on his knees was probably the Central Plains swordsman who could be called a master of martial arts in the eyes of Xueliancheng. Xu Fengnian didn’t know such a person, and it seemed that the other party who had been in Xuelian City for four or five years did not recognize him and Jiang Ni. As for those guys lurking in the darkness around, Xu Fengnian’s thin camel was bigger than a horse. Although he was a weak body that fell down when the wind blew, his divine will was clearly sensed and could not deal with Li Mibi and Tuoba Bodhisattva. However, if you want to kill here, you don’t have to touch a finger. Moreover, with Jiang Ni around you, as long as it is not the fourteen martial arts masters or the one-line-long grandson who came to wade into the muddy water, it is not a big deal. The swordsman looked at him without looking sideways and said indifferently: “I don’t care about Liu Huaixi’s snow lotus, but I have booked the snow lotus in the house. You go. If you don’t give up, you can ask my sword.”
Xu Fengnian gasped, stared at the middle-aged swordsman with the master’s demeanor, and asked with a smile: “I dare to ask this hero what a famous nickname is.”
The swordsman did not answer, but a cheerful and vicissitudes of voice came from the house: “What a bullshit hero? Dong Yuanrui, one of the defeated generals of me back then, could do something with one hand. Today, the world is becoming more and more unreasonable. Such a person is a person who has taken a broken sword. I am really talented in my generation. Not to mention anything else, I just say that I have fought with me, including the overlord of the cold land with a gun, and the ancestor of the green robe of Fengdu, who is barely considered a master. I was fighting with them back then, but I was just a hot hand. There was only a swordsman named Li, who was considered my destiny enemy, but I also appreciated each other…”
