Xu Fengnian turned over and dismounted, Yang Shenxing got off the donkey down the slope and got off the carriage, walking side by side, Xu Fengnian helped the new deputy envoy introduce the group of people, it turned out to be a local official led by the county guard of Tongshan County, purely to pull Zhuang Ding out to see the world, after all, Xu Fengnian can not take Yang Shenxing seriously, but for the officials of Tongshan County, the great name of the emperor of Jizhou can be called like thunder, especially Yang Shenxing's Jinan foot soldier is known as the only one in the world, and it is not a year or two to have the heart to compete with Yan Wenluan's Youzhou army。 Being able to meet General Yang today is a high-class conversation after dinner.

At that moment, Xu Fengnian asked the old man if the journey to the west was smooth, and Yang Shenxing also replied with a smile and kindness, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that the officials of Tongshan County were confused. In fact, Yang Shenxing, who is the party concerned, seems to have a posture of hating each other with the young vassal king, but in fact, he pinched a cold sweat, Beiliang even refused to accept the holy decree, at a time when the Beiliang soldiers were in chaos, and everyone was in this wilderness under their feet, what was the big deal to leave one or two corpses behind? The more enthusiastic Xu Fengnian is, the more apprehensive Yang Shenxing will inevitably become, just as Yang Huchen previously speculated, with the difficult situation of Yang Jialong trapped in the shallows, it is considered the standard of the sky to take over the history of Youzhou Thorn, Yang Shenxing is not conceited enough to think that he has the weight to let the King of Beiliang leave the front line to greet him personally.

Fortunately, Xu Fengnian did not continue to sell Guanzi, first let the officials of Tongshan County return to the official residence, and then rest at a small tea stall next to the post road, wake up the dozing woman, smiled and asked for three bowls of tea, and after sitting down, he said straight to the point with Yang Shenxing: "I came to Youzhou this time, picking up people is convenient, after drinking tea, I will soon leave for the Helan Mountains in the northeast of Youzhou, Wang Sui and his tens of thousands of Beimang Jingqi are still watching at the gate of Youzhou for the time being, if I go late, I am afraid I will not see this famous Dongyue horse master." ”

Yang Shenxing's face did not change and he sighed, and his heart was thinking quickly, this time he left Beijing with the embroidered title of the deputy section of the Beiliang Dao, and he also gave people a cold stove watered with cold water, and there was no correspondence on the way, and he had never been in contact with people along the way, and he was completely blind to the shape of the world, and only knew the news before leaving Beijing, Hutou City fell, Dong Zhuo's army was able to spread out the front, and the first line of defense outside the Liangzhou Pass was in danger, so that Yang Shenxing thought that when he was close to Youzhou, he would see a large number of refugees fleeing from Beiliang in a hurry。 But Xu Feng's young downstatement that he was going to Helan Mountain to confront Wang Sui's cavalry surprised Yang Shenxing, could it be that Beiliang was ready to give up the entire Liangzhou Guanwai battlefield? Half a year ago, there were a large number of Beiliang-related war reports frequently transmitted to the capital on the Lianghuai side, and Beiliang did not deliberately block this, but since the beginning of the spring of the second year of Xiangfu, it was difficult for Zhao Gou's spies and Lianghuai officialdom to obtain first-hand Beiliang military information, Yang Shenxing heard that several Zhao Gou strongholds who committed crimes against the wind were uprooted, and some spies dressed in the skins of Jianghu people seemed to be quickly detained by the water room after following Xuanyuan Qingfeng to Liang, so the Criminal Department of the Imperial Court Military Department was greatly annoyed.

When Xu Fengnian took the tea bowl from the woman's hand, Yang Huchen couldn't help but roll his eyes, the woman sent tea to their father and son, and they knocked the bowl directly on the table, but for the young vassal king, she walked to the table with both hands, and her thick waist also gave her a stunned twist like a big water snake, and she was not in a hurry to put the tea bowl on the table. Jun Housheng, have you married a daughter-in-law, if you don't marry, there is a water spirit girl in our village, and your aunt will be a matchmaker for you", Yang Huchen was shocked, this Beiliang girl is so strong? And what is even more strange is that Xu Fengnian not only did not make a big fuss, but also smiled and teased a few words, not at all thinner than the face of the rogue in the market, but said that the woman was unprecedentedly ashamed. Yang Huchen suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, as a first-class military general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, Yang Huchen's impression of this new Liang King was not good, and now seeing Xu Fengnian's frivolous words and deeds with his own eyes made Yang Huchen frown, but for some reason, Yang Huchen saw his father smiling in the corner of his eyes, not like a fake, quite like a veteran of the flower bush saw a rising star, Yang Huchen was a little confused.

Xu Fengnian took a sip of tea, and the next words scared Yang Huchen so much that he almost fell off the bowl, "Dong Zhuo's army in the middle line can't attack Huaiyang Pass for a long time, and has already retreated. The battle in Liuzhou was the most tragic, there was no one in the 30,000 dragon elephant army, Liu Jue led the remnants to flee to Longjiao Prefecture, as for the mouth of the gourd in Youzhou, Yang Yuanzan died, and Tan and Hong Jingyan were nowhere to be found. ”

Yang Shenxing lowered her head and drank water, her expression could not be seen clearly, but the ripples on the water surface in the tea bowl continued.

Yang Huchen subconsciously blurted out: "This is impossible!"

Yang Shenxing raised her head suddenly, and said angrily: "Huchen, don't be presumptuous!"

Yang Shenxing put down the tea bowl, turned her head and apologized to Xu Fengnian: "Lord Wang, Huchen is extremely rude, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Xu Fengnian played with the taste: "Forgive what crime, I, Xu Fengnian, am not the Emperor of Liyang, how can I punish a deputy general of Jizhou." ”

Yang Shenxing's forehead oozed sweat.

Yang Huchen clenched his fist with one hand, leaning on his knee under the table, and he didn't care about being scolded by the old man, stared at Xu Fengnian's eyes, and asked, "Bei Liang really defeated Bei Mang's million iron horse?!"

Xu Fengnian answered the question and said slowly: "I Beiliang has killed a lot of people. ”

Yang Shenxing said sharply: "Yang Huchen, you shut up for me!"

Yang Huchen, who got a wonderful comment of "loyalty and filial piety" after meeting His Majesty, at this time the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he turned a deaf ear to the old man's questioning, and his eyes widened, as if he wanted to fight the young vassal king to the end at the cost of his life.

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Whether you Yang Huchen or your father, is it worth my deception?"

Yang Huchen, who had a tendon, asked: "Dare to ask the prince, how did you Beiliang win three battles at the same time?"

Without waiting for Xu Fengnian to speak, Yang Shenxing stood up and slapped his son on the head, "Rabbit cub, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!"

A dignified man who was an official to the deputy general of Jizhou was beaten by his father and his hair was messy, but he still swore not to give up, and continued to grit his teeth and asked: "Lord Wang, did Bei Liang really win against the Bei Mang barbarians?!"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Won the war." ”

Yang Shenxing was almost about to kick this bastard away, Xu Fengnian waved his hand at the old man, "Lord Yang, forget it." ”

Yang Shenxing stomped his feet heavily, and said bitterly: "Lord, if I don't boast, if Huchen hadn't had this damn temper, otherwise with his ability to lead troops, he would have been able to go to Tai'an City to get a real power general in one of the four flats, I really don't worry about him going to deal with those officials in Tai'an City!

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "General Yang is only suitable for leading troops and governing the army in the local area, if he is an official at the foot of the Son of Heaven, he will definitely not be as good as those who have long been refined, it is estimated that even if General Yang is a general in one of the four flats, he will not be happy." ”

Yang Shenxing sighed with emotion: "Yes, so this time Huchen took the initiative to ask Ying to go back to Jizhou, and I didn't stop it, I couldn't stop it anyway." ”

Yang Huchen muttered in despair: "Did you win?

Xu Fengnian quipped: "What, General Yang doesn't want Beiliang to win? Aren't you afraid that your father will travel thousands of miles to Beiliang, and the post road will be full of wanton Beimang iron horses?"

Yang Huchen, who finally returned to his soul, subconsciously reached out and touched the empty sleeve, "I lost an arm, I, Yang Huchen, never felt that it was nothing, but I had some regrets after all, I was cut down on the battlefield by our own people in Liyang, not outside the plug, and thrown under the knife of the Northern Mangmang." ”

Yang Huchen grinned, stood up suddenly, and frightened the old man. Yang Shenxing was afraid that this guy would contradict Xu Fengnian again, so she raised her hand and pressed her son's shoulder, "Sit down and talk!"

Yang Huchen shook his head, stretched out his hand to lift the tea bowl, and said to Xu Fengnian in a deep voice: "Lord, if there is no wine, let Yang Huchen have the courage to replace wine with tea, respect you, and all the Beiliang soldiers with a bowl! My Yang Huchen's greatest wish in this life, Beiliang has done it, no matter what kind of bullshit situation Liyang and Beiliang are in the future, I, Yang Huchen, owe you a bowl of wine, and if you die on the Liangmang battlefield one day, I will lead the troops to the battlefield where you died in battle to honor you!" In the future, if you Xu Fengnian die at the hands of the Liyang Imperial Court, then I will go to the execution ground alone to salute your bowl of wine!"

Yang Shenxing closed her eyes, Huchen, this child, is really bent on death. Can this kind of rebellious bad talk be spoken?

But unexpectedly, Xu Fengnian also raised the tea bowl and stood up, and said with a smile: "I have to drink this bowl of tea instead of wine." Also, if you Yang Huchen have the opportunity to come to Beiliang in the future, whether I die or not, remember to bring a jar of good wine, how can a bowl be enough. ”

The tea bowl touched the tea bowl, Xu Fengnian and Yang Huchen drank it all.

In the distance, the woman who couldn't hear the real conversation glanced back at the three guests, and while packing up the clutter, she muttered angrily: "These big men are really okay, drink a few pennies of tea and drink pride and ambition?"

After drinking the tea, Yang Huchen, the No. 1 fierce general in Jizhou in the past, said goodbye and returned, and Yang Shenxing, who had palpitations, scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and get out!"

Xu Fengnian and Yang Shenxing sat back on the stool, the woman hurriedly carried the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for the two of them, Xu Fengnian smiled: "Boss, don't just add tea without tea, this is not kind." Previously, a bowl of tea cost two pennies, but now these two bowls can only be counted as one bowl of one penny. ”

The woman's two fingers twisted lightly on Xu Fengnian's arm, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, a penny is a penny, just take advantage of your aunt for you, it's not that your aunt said you, you said that you were born handsome, and you are also from Beiliang when you listen to the accent, how can it not be cool at all, don't look at the aunt and think that you look pleasing to the eye, but if you really want to pick a man to live with, I will still choose the rough man in my family." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled evilly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are strong and strong." ”

The woman blushed and glared and said, "It's a little bit! It's a flamboyant mouth, and at first glance it's a scholar! It's still the kind of half-hung person who can't get famous!"

Finally, the woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "Don't you really want your aunt to be a matchmaker?"

Xu Fengnian laughed, shook his head and said, "I already have a daughter-in-law." ”

At this time, Yang Shenxing was a little embarrassed, Bei Liang is not the same as Liyang.

Xu Fengnian restrained his smile and said softly: "People in poor places have a hard life, but many people do not accept their fate while suffering hardship. ”

Yang Shenxing nodded and said: "The world's elite soldiers come out of Liaodong and Lianglong, the old saying is not unreasonable. ”

Xu Fengnian asked: "Lord Yang, there are two roads now, one is to be an idle deputy festival envoy, and he should spend his old age in Qingliang Mountain. ”

Without waiting for Xu Fengnian to say the second way, Yang Shen Xingyun said lightly: "Lord Wang, I'll choose this path, I'm old, I can't stand the toss, and even if Huchen leaves the capital, after all, he is still in Jizhou." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled, "Okay, our Beiliang is not big, and the scenery is naturally not as good as the Central Plains, but it is good that Wudang Mountain can escape the heat, and Lingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is also a good place for winter. ”

Yang Shenxing wanted to speak and stopped.

The old man couldn't believe that Xu Fengnian would be so generous.

can tolerate Yang Huchen's offense, and even let Yang Shenxing enjoy happiness in Beiliang.

"If someone else comes to Beiliangdao as this deputy festival envoy, don't think about entering Youzhou. ”

Xu Fengnian looked into the distance and said softly: "Yang Huchen has a father who makes him willing to be a groom, I, Xu Fengnian, didn't jump out of the stone, of course there is." My father Xu Xiao has old accounts in his life, and some of the ones he owes him have been recovered, and some have not been recovered. There are also people he owes, some of them are still on the line, and some of them are not destined to be paid off. ”

Xu Fengnian glanced at the old man who had obviously forgotten a certain period of the past, and said with a smile: "Back then, there was a Liyang lieutenant who lost to the king of Dongyue one after another, even if he saved some silver, no one was willing to sell him hundreds of soldiers and horses, at that time there was only one military general named Yang Shenxing, although he was also reluctant to put his own men and horses, but he was the only one who did not say cool words, once on the way to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, he even took the initiative to chat a few words. Many years later, the old man, who was no longer a lieutenant, said to his son that he should be a man with grudges, but he should also remember the good of others. Among them, it is mentioned that there is a military general named Yang Shenxing, who leads troops to fight, no, he is a man, and he is okay. ”

Yang Shenxing said sadly: "It turns out that there is such an old thing, I forgot it, I didn't expect the general to remember, and I told the prince." ”

Then the old man touched his snow-white beard and said, "If I can let the general say the words 'okay' in person, I, Yang Shenxing, should also be content." Of course, being a general is said to be a war is not good, even if the general says it, I, Yang Shenxing, am still a little unconvinced. ”

Xu Fengnian was noncommittal about this, and said with a smile: "Later, someone will escort Lord Yang to Liangzhou, and I won't send it." ”

Yang Shenxing nodded and said, "As it should be, I don't dare to delay the prince's trip." ”

Xu Fengnian settled the account, and there were soon dozens of horses galloping on the post road, among which there was a tall horse that no one was riding, Yang Shenxing turned over and got on the horse, hugged his fist to Xu Fengnian and said: "Lord Wang, farewell!"

Xu Fengnian snorted, "Go back to Liangzhou and reunite." ”

The woman at the tea stall, who was shocked by dozens of iron horses, opened her mouth wide, carefully pricked up her ears, and when she heard the title of the prince, after the cavalry went away, she approached Xu Fengnian's side and said curiously: "Housheng, your name is strange, your surname is Wang Mingye, and the name is so big, your father and mother are really big." But looking at it, your father is our general in Beiliang, right? Otherwise, you will take back this tea money?"

In fact, Xu Fengnian, who was actually going to Lingzhou instead of Helan Mountain, shook his head and said with a smile: "If in two years, the boss, you can still sell tea here An'ansheng, and I happen to come to drink tea again, give me a discount, what's the matter?"

The woman smiled and said, "Okay, it's just a few pennies, it's a big deal, just scold my family for a ruined girl." Alas, it's a pity that when the time comes, my aunt won't dare to touch you again. ”

Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "It's still your big heart." ”

The wisps of sunlight shine through the shade of the trees and sprinkle on the small table bench and tea bowls, quiet and peaceful.

Yang Shenxing, who was on horseback, looked back and vaguely saw that scene.

For some reason, the old man in Beiliang had a thought in his heart for no reason.

It is useless, it is the Central Plains.
