Lu Baijie and Cao Changqing came to the Freehand Garden together, Mr. Tangxi's courage made Xu Fengnian impressed, and even he had to regard Cao Qingyi as a jackal, tiger and leopard, the Lu family was based in the south of the Yangtze River, although it was thousands of miles away from Beijing, it was not as far as the emperor of Beiliang , maybe it will involve the head of the family, Lu Daolin, who lost the noble position of the prince of the country, not to mention whether he can get out of the capital alive.

In this way, there are Lu Baijie and Cao Changqing coming, the dinner in the freehand garden has become more lively, this table, there are two martial arts reviews on the list, plus a Tangxi sword fairy, it is rumored that it can scare the people in the rivers and lakes, the table accounts for two-thirds of the cold dishes in the north, and one-third of the classic Jiangnan dishes, the dishes are all made from the Jiangnan Daguan kiln, and the bowl porcelain is not on the inscription in the spring and autumn Smeared red, sighed, looked quite regretful, the bowl porcelain is fragile, the bowl is broken, where can it be called an elegant matter, but outsiders don't know Cao Changqing's scholarly spirit, and they only think that the master's mind is unpredictable.

Xu Zhihu on the left Xu Fengnian on the right Jiang Ni, not partially, all to the vegetables, Beiliang Shizi occasionally and Princess Taiping chopsticks to the same plate, according to the past situation, Xu Fengnian most likely has to go through a dragon and tiger fight to win, this time Jiang Ni frosted the eggplant, saw Xu Fengnian stretched out the chopsticks and retracted his hand, a meal was tepid, on this table was Yu Youwei looked the most indifferent and calm, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Zhihu was not close to this woman from Oiran, and after entering the Lu Mansion, he did not say a word.

After a sumptuous dinner, Xu Zhihu took his younger brother for a walk, Jiang Ni and the old sword god Cao Qingyi and Lu Baijie stayed in the freehand garden to enjoy the cool, Xu Zhihu sat in the lakeside pavilion, and said worriedly: "Cao Changqing is determined to win Jiang Ni." ”

Xu Fengnian rubbed his cheeks, and seeing that there were no outsiders nearby, he said flatly: "This Cao official said that as long as he is willing to hand over his Princess Taiping, he will kill Chen Zhibao." ”

Xu Zhihu gasped and frowned, "Really?"

Xu Fengnian laughed at himself: "As an official Cao, how can you joke with me, a junior." ”

Xu Zhihu said to himself: "Do you think this is the way our father has thought of a long time ago?"

Xu Fengnian frowned and said: "Sister, do you mean that Xu Xiao expected that there would be today? Wouldn't it be too godly for Cao Guanzi, an outsider, to break the game? Besides, Xu Xiao may not have the intention of killing Chen Zhibao. ”

Xu Zhihu thought about it, and carefully said with a careful word: " If you are between killing and not killing, keeping Chen Zhibao can let you slowly compete for the battle, if you have the heart to kill, and then let you come forward to be the executioner, Xing may be able to stand up, but the loss of our Beiliang is too great, Chen Zhibao in addition to the identity of the righteous son, is also the second most powerful person in Beiliang after our father, this white-clothed war fairy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, willing to be a righteous son for our father, but not necessarily willing to be your stepping stone, once Beiliang is in civil strife, the court will be completely unafraid, Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang is a mortal enemy, the two have been secretly eyebrowning for a long time, when the time comes, Chen Zhibao will not say anything else, just escape alone, for Beiliang, not only is it divided and the morale of the army is scattered, Chen Zhibao may be the second Gu Jiantang!"

Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled: "Indeed, Gu Jiantang can't fight Xu Xiao in his life, it doesn't mean that Chen Zhibao, who has set up another portal, can't fight me, a mediocre son." It seems that Cao Guanzi's action is most in line with Beiliang's long-term interests. Xu Xiao either had the guidance of a master like Li Yishan, or he was purely an unreasonable hand with no head and no brain, and he was beaten crookedly. ”

Xu Zhihu asked softly, "Feng Nian, are you going to release him?"

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the twilight, and said to himself: "If you don't let it go, you will be a little suspicious of a dead duck's hard mouth." Anyone can fight Cao Changqing without knowing whether they live or die, the big deal is to lose a life, I don't seem to be very good, after all, Xu Xiao is a lot older, and he can't just block him. What's more, the matter of personal friendship with Cao Changqing must have passed the bottom line of the one in the capital, even if Xu Xiao didn't dare to say that he couldn't bear it all. This trip can be regarded as being really beaten by Cao Changqing for seven inches, and I am sure that I am not really ignorant to the fearless His Royal Highness, and cast the big bait to kill Chen Baiyi, I guess I am secretly happy in my heart at the moment, right?"

Xu Zhihu asked in a low voice, "Do you like that girl very much?"

Xu Fengnian made a grimace and smiled: "Don't you like it, after watching it for so many years, the longer it gets, the better it looks, I never get tired of watching it, of course I like it." ”

Xu Zhihu sighed: "Just like it?"

Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, this question was not a problem, and he never seemed to have thought about it deeply.

Xu Zhihu touched his brother's brows and asked with a smile, "Sister is curious about who you are afraid of?"

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Of course, I'm afraid that the eldest sister will be unhappy, and I'm afraid that the second sister will be angry." ”

Xu Zhihu shook his head and said seriously: "Sister didn't mean this, it's the kind of person you are really afraid of and can't sleep." ”

Xu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I'm afraid of the one in the capital, I'm afraid that he will feel that it is too troublesome to even borrow a knife to kill people, and finally tear his face and raise a knife to kill people in person,"

Xu Zhihu snorted, thinking deeply. If the capital is a general sense of the Ming monarch, but things are not simple, diligent government almost to the realm of pathology, it stands to reason that this kind of deformed diligent governance behavior can only appear in those cloth clothes of the founding emperor, but since the accession to the throne, the power of governing the world is like a life savings to buy a few acres of land of the old farmer, it is simply conscientious and tireless, last year the Ministry of Rites has an amazing record that can be managed in the leopard, seven days after New Year's Day, a total of more than 1,500 pieces of the three provinces and six departments of the Ministry of Records were receivedIn fact, the imperial study of the Ninety-Five Supreme was lit up almost every night to the third watch, so much so that it was rumored that the great eunuch Han Diao Temple had to risk death several times to beg for a little more rain and dew in the harem. This once summoned a relative in the south of the Yangtze River in the palace and composed a poem, in which he laughed and said that the hundred officials had fallen asleep, and the hundred officials had not risen. It is rumored that as soon as this poem came out, no one in the imperial court dared to question the rectification of the first assistant Zhang Julu. This kind of eloquent and extraordinary genius is the son of heaven who is not afraid of meritorious power? Loyal ministers are afraid of faint kings, but powerful ministers are most afraid of Ming monarchs. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, just a little more glamorous and mild than the cunning rabbit dead lackey, but it also breaks through all the mysteries, how many old ministers do not accompany the old monarch to the underground to continue to be "loyal"?

Xu Fengnian continued: "I'm afraid of Xu Xiao. ”

Xu Zhihu quipped in surprise: "It's strange, everyone in the world can be afraid of King Beiliang, but you will be afraid of our father?"

Xu Fengnian muttered: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Xu Xiao will be old." ”

Xu Zhihu was silent.

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "Then I'm afraid that Chen Zhibao will rebel." ”

Xu Zhihu nodded, this answer is reasonable. Chen Zhibao has both generals and generals, and in addition to qualifications, he really does not lose half a point to Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, otherwise he will not be able to get the two nicknames of Zhan Xian and Villain. If it is about the ruthlessness of the enemy's means, it is even better than Xu Xiao. It is undoubtedly a blessing to be a friend of such a hero, but it is a great misfortune to be an enemy. In front of the West Barrier Wall, Jiang Bingsheng witnessed the scene of his wife and children being dragged to death and bleeding from the corners of his mouth. Shangyin School Palace once had a military science practitioner who said frankly that Chen Zhibao and Gu Jiantang, the only remaining master of the art of war, each had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the victory or defeat was five or five points, but after giving 300,000 soldiers, it was Chen Zhibao who won steadily, of course, this is not considered on the premise of not considering the battlefield, but it is enough to prove that Chen Zhibao is terrible. The imperial court did not dare to overly suppress Xu Xiao, and there was no reason why Chen Zhibao was afraid that Chen Zhibao would raise the flag and rebel under the pretext of the reason, and it was necessary to know that the one in the capital had been fascinated by the white-clothed war immortal for a long time.

Xu Fengnian suddenly smiled, squinted his eyes and said softly: "The most stubborn thing is that I am afraid of Lao Huang." ”

Xu Zhihu was completely stunned and looked puzzled.

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "When I traveled with him, I was worried all day long, for fear that he would die, without Lao Huang, where could I walk down six thousand miles, and I would die of exhaustion, starvation and boredom for six hundred miles." ”

Xu Fengnian looked at his eldest sister Xu Zhihu and said, "I've survived six thousand miles, Lao Huang didn't die, I didn't die, I didn't die, I didn't die, but why did Lao Huang run to that bullshit Martial Emperor City and die?"

Xu Zhihu naturally couldn't give an answer.

Xu Fengnian raised his head and said, "It's good to die in Xishu, it's my hometown." ”

Xu Zhihu cried.

Xu Fengnian smiled dumbly and helped wipe away his tears, "Sister, what are you crying about, when Lao Huang fed you horses, every time you saw this old guy with missing front teeth, he didn't have a good face." ”

Xu Zhihu glared.

Xu Fengnian finally said: "Jiang Ni, I remember that the first time we met, I was such a little girl, and I hated the country and the family behind my back, in fact, the national hatred or something, she didn't understand, but the family hated, and asked her to take revenge on Xu Xiao, where did she dare to be such a coward who was afraid of thunder and ghosts, and looked for it with wide eyes, didn't it count me, the unscrupulous and lustful His Royal Highness, who would go if you didn't look for me?" In addition to her identity as Princess Taiping, where is there anything surprising, building a snowman will have cold hands, washing clothes will be afraid of tiredness, after seeing the scene of me practicing knives on Wudang Mountain, I am even more afraid of the bitterness of practicing martial arts, the careful Nizi is not too stupid, with my support, I dare to be unforgiving with Princess Sui Zhu, and I really think everyone is a princess on an equal footing. Later, I was afraid that my heart would soften, so I wrote an oath to kill the sticker, and in the end I was picked up by the second sister who returned to Beiliang, and I didn't remember a grudge against me? Not only cautious, but also stingy, I secretly counted the copper plates without anything, but it was not right to say that she was stingy, and the rune said to send it out, in the end, she was a simple little woman, and she thought she was hiding a good scheming, I could see it, it was clear, I didn't say it, I thought it was fun. When I was a child, my mother once pulled Jiang Ni's finger and pointed at the girl's cheek and told me that the two small dimples were crossed the Huangquan Road of the Ghost Gate Pass to the Nai He Bridge, and I didn't want to forget the previous life of caring about people, so I didn't drink the old woman's Meng Po soup, jumped into the bridge and was flooded by the tenth generation of water before being reincarnated, just to be able to find the person I cared about, I was also young at the time, so I was ignorant and thought, but I was standing in front of her, I thought that no matter what, I can't let this girl with two wine pits on this little face be bullied by outsiders in this life. ”

Xu Fengnian squinted and smiled: "Now it seems that if she can regret it, she must be determined to meet me in the next life on the Nai He Bridge." ”

Xu Zhihu said helplessly: "Do you also believe this statement?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "I believe what my mother said." ”

Xu Zhihu was just about to tease, when he saw Jiang Ni squirming outside the pavilion and didn't dare to walk in, he got up and walked out of the pavilion and pushed her up the steps, Xu Zhihu shook his head with a smile, and then left directly.

After Cao Guanzi stirred up the situation, the two of them with a delicate atmosphere were relatively speechless.

Xu Fengnian was the first to be angry and said: "What are you doing, you are going to be in debt?

Jiang Ni turned his head, stretched out a small hand, and said angrily: "Two hundred and twelve taels of silver and seventy-two cents." ”

Xu Fengnian sneered: "Okay, this world is converted into copper coins, so you can leave here with a hemp bag on your back." ”

Jiang Ni snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Walking out of the pavilion, she turned her head and saw him facing the lake, his back a little deserted.

After a long time, Xu Fengnian said loudly: "You still don't want to leave? No matter how powerful Cao Guanzi is, he is in a hurry to force this world, it is a big deal that the jade is burned, who lives and who dies, it depends on who is more angry between him and Li Chungang." ”

Jiang Ni said in a thin voice: "Is it that if I leave, I won't be able to kill you?"

Xu Fengnian turned around and said with a smile: "Of course not, with Cao Guanzi and the old sword god two masters to teach you, maybe you can kill me in a few years." Let's go, let's go, save yourself from dangling in front of this world every day, without you, remember to notify me before killing me, I can sleep peacefully, I can sleep for a few years. ”

Jiang Ni bit his lip and said, "Then I won't leave!"
