On the streets of Lingzhou, Xu Fengnian walked side by side.

Jiang Ni suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian and asked, "He doesn't know that you are Xu Fengnian?" ”

Xu Fengnian smiled faintly and said, "He is Lao Xu Tou, and I am Xu Xiaozi, which is very good." ”

Jiang Ni said: "He was born and died for your Xu family, but now he has ended up in such a field, you owe him." ”

Xu Fengqing sighed and said, "Yes, the Xu family owes him and 'them', so they can only pay them back a peaceful and prosperous world." ”

Jiang Ni said: "Why don't you tell him that you are the prince of Beiliang?" ”

Xu Fengnian said slowly: "There are so many people in this world who can live well because they are dead, injured, and disabled. ”

"So my identity as a son of the world is nothing in front of them, me! It's just a jerk boy. ”

Jiang Ni was silent, and Li Fei praised: "You can be regarded as living and understanding, as a son of a family in a high position, it is really rare to have such a cognition." ”

Xu Fengnian is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he has never felt that he is superior because of his status as a son.

He knew exactly how he got everything he enjoyed today.

Such a person can deal with it.

Listening to Li Fei's words, Xu Fengnian just smiled and didn't say anything more.

He really understands his life, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he has always been reluctant to take over Beiliang.

……

The group of four returned to the palace, but saw a carriage parked outside the door.

A young man dressed in a pale cyan coat stood quietly beside the carriage with his eyes closed.

There was also a beautiful woman who was glamorous and charming, pacing back and forth in front of the gate.

Li Fei pretended to be surprised when he saw this and said, "Yo, isn't this Tanhualang?" What's going on? ”

When Lin Tanhua heard his voice, she turned her head in surprise and immediately recognized Li Fei.

He was very impressed with Li Fei, especially the suona on his waist.

Miss Fan walked down the stone steps in front of the door quickly and said to Lin Tanhua: "The old man who made trouble before was taken away by them." ”

Lin Tanhua nodded, hugged the two of them, and said, "Thank you brother Tai for breaking the siege." ”

Xu Fengnian asked curiously, "Lin Tanhua is here...... What are you waiting for? ”

Lin Tanhua said lightly: "Ask to visit the prince of Beiliang." ”

Li Fei said in surprise: "Tanhua can't be that he hasn't scolded on the street, and he plans to scold Beiliang Shizi in person, right?" ”

Lin Tanhua swung her arms and threw them behind her back, her chest straightened, with a proud look, and her attitude was already very clear.

Seeing this, Li Fei hugged his fists and smiled: "Tanhua has a righteous mind, is fearless and fearless, and admires it." ”

Jiang Ni also echoed excitedly: "Admire, admire." ”

Xu Fengnian watched the reactions of the two guys, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

However, he didn't show anything unusual, he just asked Lin Tanhua, "Why don't you go in?" ”

Miss Fan on the side snorted coldly, looked at the door and said angrily: "The Xu family is rude, what kind of hospitality do you know?" ”

Xu Fengnian let out an "oh" and ran to the gate, and Li Fei and the three of them followed.

"Open the door." Xu Fengnian ran to the door, didn't knock on the door, and shouted directly.

Miss Fan said softly: "Tanhua is not accepted, what's the use of them calling the door like this?" ”

Lin Tanhua shook her head with a smile and closed her eyes again, only thinking that the other party was ignorant of the sky.

"Ge Chang"

The next moment, however, the door opened.

Xu Fengnian looked back at Lin Tanhua and Miss Fan, and beckoned with a smile: "Come on, come in!" ”

When he heard the sound of the door, Lin Tanhua had already opened his eyes, and when he saw Xu Fengnian's movements, the expression on his face gradually became confused.

They waited here for a few hours, and they also showed their famous thorns, and no one paid attention to them, but this person opened the door casually.

Who are they?

He glanced at Miss Fan, who was also suspicious, and then subconsciously followed.

Lao Huang waited by the door, waiting for Lin Tanhua and Miss Fan to walk into the door, and then followed behind them.

This old boy didn't stop looking at Miss Fan, and his eyes especially lingered on the stiffness behind the people, which was quite obscene.

When Miss Fan entered the door, she felt that Lao Huang was looking at her wrongly, and when she turned her head frequently, she naturally noticed his gaze.

She frowned and asked, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

Lao Huang smiled obscenely: "Good-looking, good to raise." ”

"Qiang"

When Miss Fan heard this, she was immediately annoyed, grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled out half of the sword.

"Lao Huang."

Xu Fengnian shouted, Lao Huang hurriedly bypassed Miss Fan and came to Xu Fengnian's side, and Miss Fan put her sword into the sheath angrily.

Xu Fengnian leaned sideways slightly, and said softly: "I've fallen in love with me helping you talk about matchmaking!" ”

Lao Huang glanced at Miss Fan again, looked shy, and said squirmishingly: "I guess you can't say it." ”

"Shameless." Jiang Ni on the side said with disdain on his face.

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you scolding Lao Huang well?" ”

Jiang Ni glared at him and said, "I'm talking about you." ”

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, took out his money bag, took out a few copper coins and threw them to Jiang Ni, and said, "Go find the blue bird and ask her to wait for me by the lake." ”

"No, no."

"I've collected all the money, don't pay me back."

Jiang Ni looked at him, grinding his teeth, after all, he was still reluctant to pay the few pennies, and turned around and ran towards Wutong Garden.

Lin Tanhua was still suspicious at first, the person in front of him was the prince of Beiliang, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he dispelled this idea.

If he is really Xu Fengnian, he has to give money to order a maid to do things? And the maid still looks reluctant, isn't this?

And looking at the attitude of Li Fei and Jiang Ni just now, it seems that they don't have any respect for Xu Fengnian, but admire themselves very much, so it is even more unlikely to have anything to do with Xu Fengnian.

It was he who took a few steps forward, walked to the position of Jiang Ni, and asked Xu Fengnian and Li Fei beside him, "Are the two of you from the palace?" ”

Xu Fengnian said: "Sort of!" ”

Lin Tanhua said with a calm face: "I see that the two of you have also read books, do you know who is the first devil in my departure from the Yang Dynasty?" ”

Xu Fengnian blurted out without hesitation: "Xu Xiaobei." ”

His natural attitude made Lin Tanhua a little stunned.

He asked puzzledly: "Since you know Xu Xiao's crime, why do you want to do it?" ”

Xu Fengnian walked slowly along the hand-copying verandah, and said casually: "It's not an effect, the main thing is that my father lives here, and I can't help it." ”

Li Fei said seriously: "I'm just a little musician Qingke, Lao Huang is a groom, let's eat in this palace, we are not qualified to serve or anything!" ”

Lin Tanhua listened to Zhengse and said: "Since the two of you both have a skill, where can't you live, why do you have to stoop to be a thief?" ”

Li Fei scratched his cheeks, pointed at Xu Fengnian embarrassedly, and said: "No way, the palace treats well, my brother's father can also say something in the palace, and he usually takes care of us." ”

Lin Tanhua looked at Xu Fengnian again and asked, "Ling Zun is a staff member of the Xu Mansion?" ”

Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "I don't have that ability." ”

"Funai Nursing Hospital?"

"I have bad legs and feet, and I can't protect the hospital."

"That ......"

Miss Fan behind him interjected: "Maybe it's the housekeeper and the like." ”

"Oh......" Lin Tanhua nodded suddenly, and continued: "Since the two of you are often in the mansion, have you ever seen the prince Xu Fengnian?" ”

Xu Fengnian said casually: "See you often!" ”

Lin Tanhua asked: "Then what do you think of him?" ”

Xu Fengnian groaned slightly, a look of disgust appeared on his face, and said, "It's not good, it's a bit of a bastard." ”

As soon as Lin Tanhua heard this, a smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she looked at Xu Fengnian's gaze, full of appreciation.

He slapped Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be in danger, but you dare to speak up." ”

"When I leave the Yang Dynasty, I need a young man with lofty ideals like you to have hope."

Xu Fengnian hugged his fists and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

"Please also ask Brother Tai to count how Xu Fengnian is greedy and lustful, insidious and vicious."

"This Xu Fengnian, ......"

Looking at Lin Tanhua, who had a good conversation with Xu Fengnian all of a sudden, a touch of pity appeared in Li Fei's eyes.

From the beginning of this guy's appearance, the word "tragedy" was written all over his head.

Is he a bad guy?

It's not counted, it's just an angry young man who doesn't know what to call it.

His cognition was instilled by others, coupled with his own sense of justice, he became someone else's pawn in such a daze, but he still didn't know it.

……

Because he promised Xu Xiao not to say anything, Li Fei did not interfere in the subsequent plot, and let Xu Fengnian operate as fierce as a tiger, and let Miss Fan and Lin Tanhua assassinate him successively.

This move not only tested the identity of the dead soldier of the blue bird, but also allowed Xu Fengnian to figure out the ins and outs of the entire assassination situation and who was behind it.

Zhao Heng, the king of Jing'an, was thousands of miles away, but he laid out this interlocking situation.

His goal from the beginning was for Lin Tanhua's stab at Xu Fengnian, and all the planning and foreshadowing revolved around this matter.

The Lin family controls the financial power of Qingzhou, and it is also the eyes and ears that the emperor placed in Qingzhou to monitor Zhao Heng, so Zhao Heng wants to get rid of the Lin family and completely control the entire Qingzhou.

With the foreshadowing of the first two assassinations, once Lin Tanhua made a move, the charge of colluding with the traitors of the dead country was completely confirmed, and he couldn't wash it away by jumping into Chunshen Lake.

If it is only his own private act, at most he will suffer alone.

But once it is involved with the traitor who died in the country, the nature is very different, it is called rebellion, it is a big crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan, and the Lin family is completely finished.

It's a pity that Zhao Heng never dreamed that he would rely on him as a confidant and take over the Lin family's control of Qingzhou's financial power, but he was Xu Xiao's pawn in Qingzhou, Xu Xiao's old subordinate from the Beiliang Army.

Miss Fan is also Xu Xiao's person, her real name is Shu Xi, and she is a second-grade little master.

She appeared next to Lin Tanhua, naturally it was Xu Xiao's handiwork.

One is to play a role in fueling the flames, so that Lin Tanhua made up his mind to assassinate Xu Fengnian.

The other is to act as a "tainted witness", as an accomplice, to accuse Lin Tanhua of colluding with the traitors of the country.

Xu Xiao made all of Zhao Heng's plans for Bei Liang to make a wedding dress for Bei Liang.

The veterans of the Chu State, Chu Lushan, Yu Youwei, and even Xu Fengnian himself are all chess pieces in this game.

……

Old Huang Residence.

Li Fei looked at Lao Huang, who was frowning at the moment, and was wiping the water stains on the wooden box with a cotton cloth, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Although he already knew that Lao Huang was a peerless swordsman.

But he was used to his usual honest and cheerful appearance, and suddenly became so dignified, which made Li Fei a little unaccustomed.

Just now, Xu Fengnian deliberately rowed a boat to take him to the lake in order to lure Lin Tanhua, and with the help of the old Kui Chu crazy slave at the bottom of the lake, Lin Tanhua was restrained.

Don't look at Lin Tanhua as just a scholar and a rotten Confucian, but he has also practiced swords since he was a child, and his martial arts foundation is not weak.

If it weren't for the help of Chu Mad Slave, it would be impossible for him to escape Lin Tanhua's assassination on his own.

That is, when diving, Xu Fengnian found the wooden box that Lao Huang had thrown away, and fished it up for him.

Li Fei sat opposite Lao Huang, and suddenly said, "Lao Huang, you have weapons in this box, right?" ”

Lao Huang smiled and said, "It's a weapon." ”

Li Fei said: "You threw your sidearm into the lake before, did you plan to completely cut off the past?" ”

Lao Huang sighed and said, "Yes, who would have thought that the young master would fish it out again, this is the will of heaven!" ”

The two chatted with each other, and after a while, Xu Fengnian suddenly pushed open the door and walked in with a complicated expression.

"You're not in the courtyard, I guess you're here for Lao Huang."

Li Fei looked at him with a smile and said, "What's the situation?" Why is it tangled? ”

Xu Fengnian sat down at the table and said in a depressed mood: "Xu Xiao asked me to make a choice, either kill Ning Emei or ...... Send Huang Man'er out of Beiliang. ”

Listening to his words, Li Fei said with a non-dissenting face: "Unexpectedly, if you want to ensure that Beiliang does not have civil strife, you will have to face this choice sooner or later." ”

Xu Fengnian frowned, stared at him and said, "Isn't there a third choice?" ”

Li Fei said: "Yes." ”

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Tell me." ”

Li Fei said: "It's very simple, you can strongly subdue generals like Ning Emei who support the little prince, so that all the Beiliang troops can see your talent and completely impress them." ”

Xu Fengnian's breath stagnated, he rolled his eyes angrily, sat up straight and said, "Nonsense, if I can do this, there will be nothing." ”

Li Fei asked rhetorically, "Why can't you do it?" ”

"Because ......" Xu Fengnian fell silent as soon as he said two words, some words he couldn't speak, but he already had a trace of remorse in his heart.

But I heard Li Fei say: "If you can't say it, I'll tell you for you, because you chose to escape from the beginning, so you wasted at least ten years." ”

"Now that the consequences of escape are starting to appear, it's too late for you to face it, right?"

Xu Fengnian said abruptly: "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”

Li Fei said in a deep voice: "It's useful, as long as you have that heart, it's never too late to start, even if you want to send the little prince away, it's only temporary." ”

"In fact, there are not so many reasons to talk about in this world, whoever has a big fist has the right to speak, this is an eternal truth."

Xu Fengnian said distractedly: "I really ...... May I? ”

The corners of Li Fei's mouth curled, and he said: "Maybe you don't know that you seem to be lazy, but in fact, you have a tenacity and ruthlessness in your bones." ”

"As long as you are willing to make up your mind to do something, you will be able to do it."

Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly: "You have so much confidence in me!" ”

Li Fei smiled and said: "It's not just me, you ask Lao Huang if he has confidence." ”

Xu Fengnian looked at Lao Huang, but saw him grinning and said, "I have always had confidence in the young master. ”

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian's face changed several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then try it!" ”

Li Fei said happily: "Okay, from tomorrow, let's practice the Sanskrit sound of asking for life, and practice "Divine Journey for a Thousand Miles" together, which is a good exercise to lay the foundation." ”

Xu Fengnian said happily: "With you to practice with me, I believe it will be easier for me to persevere." ”

No matter what you do, having a companion is always better than being alone.

Lao Huang said with relief: "Young master, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, what we have experienced in the past three years, Lao Huang...... It's useless, but I also want to be able to help the young master. ”

Xu Fengnian's heart warmed, and he looked at him and said softly: "It's enough to have this heart." ”

Lao Huang smiled and said, "Young Master knows the old man at the bottom of the lake, right?" ”

Xu Fengnian bowed his head and said, "Of course I know that Lin Tanhua was taken by him with his help!" ”

Lao Huang said: "Did the young master ever think about releasing Lao Kui?" ”

Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "I tried it when I was a child, and his chain was cut at all." ”

"Then young master, you are missing a ......" Lao Huang compared a knife, and then said: "What a knife!" ”

Li Fei on the side said, "Good knife? Nangong's spring thunder, isn't it known as blowing hair and breaking hair, sharp and unparalleled? ”

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, it made sense!

……

Listening to the tide lake, Li Fei and Lao Huang sat side by side.

Lao Huang erected his wooden box beside him, and Li Fei held his suona in his hand, with a posture of being ready for battle.

After a short time, Xu Fengnian invited the Nangong servant out of the Tingchao Pavilion.

"Lao Huang, tell her about Lao Kui at the bottom of the lake."

"Oh!" Lao Huang responded, slapped his face as a shock, and then said in the tone of a storyteller: "It is said that the people at the bottom of the lake are entangled in four meteorite iron cables and cannot be free. ”

"If anyone can break the iron locks with his own hands and help him to leave, he will be able to subdue this lake...... Bottom...... Person. ”

Nangong Servant looked at Lao Huang and blinked his eyes, and then looked at Xu Fengnian, and said with a strange expression: "Do you believe this?" ”

Xu Fengnian actually has no bottom in his heart, but he has absolute trust in Lao Huang, he believes that no matter what Lao Huang does, it must be for his good and will never harm him.

It was he who shrugged his shoulders and said, "Try it." ”

Nangong servant said, "Aren't there enough people around you?" ”

Xu Fengnian looked a little lonely and said, "There are some things, the people of the Beiliang Royal Mansion may not help me." ”

So from now on, he has to start cultivating his own team and have a group of partners who are only on his side.

Noticing Xu Fengnian's expression, a look of sympathy flashed in Nangong Servant's eyes, it seems that he, the son of Beiliang, is not able to do what he wants.

She didn't say anything more, pulled out the spring thunder from her waist and threw it at Xu Fengnian on the side, so frightened that Xu Fengnian hurriedly retreated a big step back.

"Qiang"

The Chunlei short knife swept diagonally in front of Xu Fengnian's crotch, fell to the ground, and plunged into the thick wooden floor.

Xu Fenghou said in fear: "How can you throw a knife like this with someone who doesn't know martial arts?" What if I don't have a queen? ”
