It is said that there is no impermeable wall in this world, although the Tai'an city wall is high, the wind is also strong, and the ears report to the gods are countless, so the gossip can always spread to all corners at an alarming speed, when the new Liang King stayed at the Ma Wei Post House not long after, the conflict between the Northern Liang Cavalry and the Gyeonggi Western Army was boiling. In this way, the original court headed by the Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally welcomed the vassal king into the city, but also made people chew out some unusual meanings, most of the common people praised His Majesty's magnanimity at the same time, spared no effort to scold the young vassal king's arrogance and unreasonableness, thinking that the imperial court should hang this northwest barbarian outside the city, when to wake up, know how to fold and ask His Majesty Xià for guilt, before allowing him to enter the city.

Compared with the people in the market who don't know the depth of the water, the civil and military officials of Tai'an City, especially the officials who are qualified to participate in the early dynasty and are equivalent to entering the house in the Liyang officialdom, should be the most confident to command the Beiliang military and political affairs For example, after communicating with each other in private, they all gave up the idea of impeaching the young vassal king, for the simple reason that with the carriage entering Tai'an City, in addition to the confrontation between the two generals of Beiliang Light Cavalry and Zhao Guiwei Chi Changgong surfaced, as well as the terrifying news that Beiliang broke Beimang into the capital. At this sensitive time, it is useless to impeach the martial artist who can be called the first in the new dynasty's border merit, and you can find a thousand reasons.

On the other hand, how many enemies have been killed in the past 20 years? Is there 100,000? According to the Liyang military law, winning the head of 80 Beimang can make a low-level soldier jump to the rank of captain of the border army, it is said that this time Beiliang not only killed countless enemies, but even took off the head of Yang Yuanzan, the general of Beimang. Since Xu Xiaomanzi has become a vassal king, then the coveted feudal marquis and prime minister of Liyang scholars is meaningless, could it be that the first emperor took off the title of Lao Liang Wang's Great Pillar Kingdom, and in the blink of an eye, this is going to be taken back from the hands of today's son?

At the same time, the Beijing officials with lower rank also began to naturally slander the vulnerability of the Northern Mang barbarians, and the army of the Eastern Front also advanced all the way to Hulukou Xiaguang City with great momentum, how could it be so useless? Tai'an City and even the great general Gu Jiantang, who was a very popular minister, also complained, the 300,000 border troops of Beiliang can drive the Beimang million army back to their hometown, and there are many border troops in the two Liao, not to mention the thunder and rain, you Liangliao has not even had a decent thunder for 20 years!

Xu Fengnian only took Xu Yanbing to stay in the Xiama Wei Post House, and the eight hundred white horses were all placed by the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of War to live in a proper place near the post house, Xu Fengnian got off the car and found that many officials in the post were different from the last time they entered Beijing, they were all younger faces, and when they saw the King of Beiliang wearing a black and gold python robe, their eyes were full of fear.

Xu Fengnian looked up at the dragon claw locust outside the post house, and the thing was wrong.

The post house has always been a post house that belongs to the North Liang Road, and it is also one of the few post houses that can be built in the capital, because the old Liang King Xu Xiao rarely enters the Beijing after the king is crowned as a vassal and rarely enters the Beijing face saint, these years have always been a bleak scene, the officials of the two military households have suggested countless times to remove the Ma Wei, so that in the past few years, after the two backward officials entered the household department of the military department, the old tune has become a rule of convention, quite like a vote. If anyone dares not to submit a chapter excerpt on this matter, he will be squeezed out by his predecessors and colleagues, but the first emperor and the current son have a subtle attitude towards this, so that some officialdom old oilers joked that if the Ma Wei Post House is really demolished one day, it should be boring.

Xu Fengnian was very familiar with this post house, and asked for a room in the backyard by name with the post man surnamed Hong, and when the trembling post man bowed down and slowly left, Xu Fengnian moved two rattan chairs to the eaves, and sat with Xu Yanbing alone. This trip to Qingliangshan seems to belong to Xu Fengnian's temporary intention to rush into Beijing, not without objections, but now Xu Fengnian's control of the Beiliang Iron Horse and the entire Beiliang Road officialdom can be said to have reached its peak, except that Xu Beitong sent a wave of anger when he met in Lingzhou, and Song Dongming asked the spies in the water room to send a secret letter, the wording was subtle, probably disagreeing with Xu Fengnian's risk, it is estimated that this also expresses the voice of a group of veterans including Yan Wenluan, but Bai Yu belatedly sent a letter through Wutong Academy, but the words were in favor。

Xu Yanbing said softly: "The second county lord said that let Huyan Daguan also enter the capital with him, and the prince should agree to come down." The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that it is far from the Yang Zhao Chamber, even without the top masters of Han Shengxuan, Liu Haoshi, Qi Jiajie, and Qintian Supervision Qi After two twists and turns, there is not much left, but in the end it is still the best city in the world, which should not be underestimated. ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "I didn't ask Huyan Daguan to come out of the mountain, and the son of the Zhao family didn't let Gu Jiantang enter Beijing quickly, so it should be leveled." ”

Xu Yanbing said with emotion: "If the holy decree had arrived a little later at that time, our Beiliang would have parted ways with the Zhao family." ”

Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "I can't fight, Zhao Zhen's original intention is to let the Gyeonggi Western Army test my bottom line, if we are easy to talk, then he will have the confidence to open his mouth." If I guessed correctly, the eunuch Bingbi, who went to issue the decree, must have been instructed by the emperor to show his face, so he will not start a war in the land of Gyeonggi no matter what, and if he really wants to fight, 7,000 elites will beat 800 horsemen, where will the face of the emperor and the court be placed? ”

Hearing Xu Fengnian's deliberately accentuated tone when he said the word "elite", Xu Yanbing smiled knowingly, "The local garrison in Beiliang, not to mention Liangzhou and Youzhou, maybe Lingzhou is tougher than them." ”

Xu Fengnian did not have the slightest ridicule, "In fact, the Spring and Autumn Foundation of the Liyang Army is still there, but it is a pity that Chengping has been twenty years, and the martial arts every year are not as good as the real fight of the border army, and there is no sharpness, after all, a knife has opened a front and has not opened a front, there is a world of difference." But if they are given a few years to sharpen the flames of war, it may not be bad. For example, if I Bei Liang wants to establish a country, and if I die, it is a small Beimang, and I am destined to lose the Liyang that is thriving and the national strength is growing, and if Bei Liang is desperate, under the premise that Bei Liang does not take advantage of the fire to rob and meddle in the Central Plains, he will storm Tai'an City with a momentum of thousands of miles, and I believe that he will take two Huai ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Fengnian smiled, "One month, at most one month, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry can keep the entire Liyang North Line chicken dogs, including Jizhou, behind, and the battle damage will definitely not exceed 20,000, and the troops will directly come to Tai'an City." ”

Xu Fengnian put his hands under his head and looked at the sky of the capital, "But it is too difficult to break through the capital, and the Gyeonggi area, except for the south, which is conducive to the galloping of the cavalry, it is not possible anywhere else." When the time comes, not to mention Gu Jiantang's two Liao border armies, Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, and Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, maybe even the southern Xinjiang army will take advantage of the situation to go north, but the former is thinking about making meritorious contributions to the king of Qin, and the latter will have more thoughts, and the fisherman will benefit. Among them, don't forget that there is also an ambitious Chen Zhibao, as for Lu Shengxiang and Tang Tieshuang, they are not mediocre people. A battle in Guangling Road can make Xie Xiqian Kou Jianghuai quickly become one of the famous generals, and after a battle for a long time, it is easy for a few kings to emerge from Liyang. If it is said that it is an alliance between Beiliang and Western Chu, the odds of victory are greater, on the other hand, can't Liyang, who jumped off the wall in a hurry, go to borrow troops from Beimang?"

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "Even if all the Beiliang Iron Horsemen are willing to follow me Xu Fengnian as a rebellious minister and thief, how many people will die in a foreign land at that time? How many people will die in the whole world? If you let Beimang Iron Hoof take the opportunity to pour into the Central Plains because of this, and don't say anything about the sinners of the ages, just say Xu Xiao...... You won't be able to sleep well. ”

Xu Yanbing said sincerely: "Being an official is more difficult than practicing martial arts, a person who practices martial arts may not be able to become a grandmaster with a tendon, if he is an official, he will have no future, and being an official is already like this, let alone being a vassal king and an emperor." ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "How difficult it is to follow your heart, you might as well retreat and seek a clear conscience." ”

Speechless for a moment.

Xu Yanbing suddenly asked, "What do you say next?"

Xu Fengnian said softly: "Wait for the capital to become a success, the fire is enough, I will go to the court meeting again." After that, whether Huan Wen or Qi Yanglong saw me, whether Xiaozhi reasoned with emotion, or lured him with advantage and coercion, in fact, I was also very curious. ”

The Jiangnan Lu family, the old Ministry of Rites Lu Daolin and the previous military department secretary Lu Baijie have all left Beijing one after another, one has returned to his hometown, and the other has leveled Guangling, and it seems that the situation is much better than that of the Song family with two masters. It's just that under the surging undercurrent, as long as people don't die, and they haven't gotten the name of the coffin, no one knows whether the final outcome will be good or bad.

Kong Zhenrong of the military department, Yan Chiji of the Hanlin Academy.

Chen Wang, Sun Yin, Lu Xu.

Yan Jiexi, a university scholar, Jin Lanting, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.

There are also two groups of powerful children in the capital headed by Yin Changgeng and Wang Yuanran.

It seems that Xu Fengnian has more acquaintances than expected.

Xu Yanbing's face was worried, "But what if the imperial court doesn't let go of Cao Yun's death?"

Next, Xu Fengnian's answer shocked Xu Yanbing.

"Liang Mang has no war in a short period of time, you don't need to be the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry in the world from Yangkong, and watching Xichu fight even a victory, it's too unusual, right? I, Xu Fengnian, am still willing to help the imperial court solve problems, in the final analysis, it means that the imperial court is stingy and doesn't give Beiliang grain and grass, it doesn't matter, let's Beiliang, we are still willing to send troops! Not only do we have to send troops, but we also let the Great Snow Dragoon rush to Guangling Road!"

Xu Yanbing rubbed his chin, "If I am sitting on the dragon chair, I will have a headache." ”

Xu Fengnian sat up, squinted and smiled: "Not only does it have a headache, but it hurts to leave the crotch!"

At this moment, Xu Yanbing glanced at the courtyard wall, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Fengnian sighed: "It reminds me of the Qijia Festival in the summer escape town, the appearance posture is carved out of a mold, and I can't wait to be closer to the sword qi than Huang Qing." ”

The Yicheng surnamed Hong walked into the small courtyard with a sad face, and said cautiously: "Lord, there is a guest visiting outside the post house. ”

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "I know, you go back and talk to him, and say that I will let him get out." ”

Yi Cheng's face twitched obviously, but he still respectfully withdrew from the courtyard.

It didn't take long for someone to say aloud in a voice that could be clearly heard across the two streets: "The first apprentice in the Xia Qijia Festival, Li Haoran!

Xu Fengnian couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Yanbing was the same, and said, "This guy has a brain in the water?

Coincidentally, following the invitation of Li Haoran, a famous swordsman in the capital, another loud voice panted and shouted in a hurry: "Damn! Lao Tzu doesn't care whose apprentice you are, I came to this Ma Wei Post House first, if it weren't for Fang Cai who went to find the latrine, where would it be your turn! If you want to fight with the King of Beiliang, then I will come first! King Beiliang, don't listen to this guy next to me! I'll come first, I'll come first! Wu Laifu, a good man in Jinzhou, Lower Liaodong, have the courage to learn from the prince today! Fight the courage, fight the courage!"

Soon, the hero of the post house who almost cut off Li Haoran's beard added, "Lord Wang, in fact, we are fellow countrymen!"

Xu Fengnian, who was sitting on a rattan chair, held his forehead.

Xu Yanbing asked, "Otherwise, I'll send it away?"

Xu Fengnian got up and joked with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go meet my fellow countrymen." ”

Just waited until Xu Fengnian walked out of the post house, only to see that the street was deserted, and there was only a young swordsman standing in the wind with a jade tree, and countless heads sticking out of the windows of the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street.

Xu Fengnian was a little puzzled, turned his head and asked Yi Cheng, "That from Jinzhou, Liaodong?"

Yi Cheng's face was strange, and he said in a low voice: "Back to the prince, for some reason, before the man saw the figure of the prince, he shouted 'murderous', and then ...... Then he ran away. ”

Xu Fengnian was speechless.

This guy is a talent.

It's a lot of someone's style.

Li Haoran, who made a gag for that guy and made a complete loss of momentum, originally had a gloomy face, but when he saw the appearance of the King of Beiliang in a python robe, his heart fluctuated for no reason, and his sword heart was instantly covered with dust, and he was no longer clear and clear when he appeared before.

What's even more devastating is that the Liaodong bastard surnamed Wu went and returned, trotted all the way to Li Haoran's side, carried a rusty black sheath iron knife on his waist, and grinned and said: "King Beiliang, the old rules, or I'll come first." Isn't this a little bit of a matter just now, I went to the next street, and now I Wu Laifu don't dare to disturb the prince too much, as long as the prince can take me a knife, as long as a knife! I will leave without saying a word, how about it?"

Xu Fengnian smiled playfully and nodded, "Okay." ”

Behind the windows on both sides of the street, countless spectators joined in the excitement when they saw the guy step out and shouted angrily.

After drawing his sword suddenly, he did not rush forward.

And then.

There is no then.

Li Haoran took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

The streets are dead silent.

After a long wait, I saw this swordsman put the knife into the sheath, stood still and hugged his fists and said: "The king of Beiliang is so good that he has reached the mysterious realm of having no knife in his hand and a knife in his heart! This time, you and I have made a peak move, and we are defeated! The green mountains do not change the green water and the long stream, and there will be a period in the future!"

The hero turned around in a dashing manner, shook his head, and strode away.

Show the "master style".

"Holy shit, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you're going to have a knife!"

"Bastard thing, it's still a peak trick, peak your uncle!"

"Your kid's name is Wu Laifu, right, Lao Tzu remembers you!

There were countless insults on the street, and some angry spectators not only threw teacups and wine bowls out of the window, but also smashed their chairs on the street in a short temper.

There were a few groups of people who couldn't bear it anymore and had rushed to the street to pick up the guy.

It's a pity that that guy disappeared soon, and everyone had to sigh, not to mention how this person's martial arts were, he ran so fast.

Li Haoran, a green-shirted swordsman who had finally recovered his state of mind, said in a deep voice: "King Beiliang, can you fight?"

Everyone thought to themselves that the show was finally here.

Li Haoran, as the first apprentice of Mr. Qi Da, is also a first-class swordsman in the capital, even if he can't defeat the young vassal king who is at the peak of his power in the rivers and lakes, it is not a problem to fight thirty or forty moves, right?

Xu Fengnian ignored Li Haoran and looked at the end of the street.

High and low, young and old, three figures, standing side by side, silent.

Farther behind the three of them, there was a man with a child in green sitting around his neck.

There was also a young Taoist who appeared from the corner, wearing a peachwood sword at his waist, and his Taoist robe fluttered when he walked, and he was among the gods.

Xu Yanbing didn't know when he came to Xu Fengnian's side.

Xu Fengnian didn't pay attention to these characters who entertained guests for Tai'an City, but looked up at the roof of a restaurant and couldn't help laughing.

There was a strange little girl in a cheap mink hat who sat there and munched on a large piece of bread by herself.

She's laid-back.

Xu Fengnian was in a good mood all of a sudden.

He had a big smile on his face.

There are many bold young women from good families who spend a lot of money to buy seats on both sides of the street, and they are immediately stunned when they see this scene with their own eyes.

The little girl on the roof snorted.
