Fighting Swordsmanship in the Snow: The spirit of the scholar, what did Dahuangmen say to Jin Lanting?

Xu Fengnian didn’t expect to get off the carriage, just waiting for such unexpected bad news. Fortunately, the eldest grandson of the Liu family, the future father-in-law, was not a pedantic and rigid scholar, so he quickly took up the responsibility of his ancestors. , led them into the mansion secretly from the side door. The threshold of the 6th house was indeed much higher than that of ordinary official residences, and the ground inside the mansion was also much higher than the alley outside. They bypassed the special glazed screen wall and did not take the middle road. , I chose one of the six groups of side roads to the west. The high-class family has no rules and no rules. Not to mention the eaves of the side road are several inches lower, and the courtyard gate and the ground are also three feet lower than the middle road. Normally, They are all for servants and servants to travel, so that the legitimate sons and grandsons of many wealthy families, from young to old, will never go astray in their lives. Because I will meet with Xu Xiao and his entourage from Beiliang tonight, a ban has been issued on the servants after nightfall, and they are even exempted from the duty of guarding the courtyard at night. However, there are many side lords and Qingke staff in the house, and they may not be able to abide by the rules. Xiangfan There are surprisingly many pink gates in the city. After the eloquent and handsome Li Baishi left Qingzhou, all the phoenixes were gone. In order to compete for the oiran, they tried all kinds of tricks and spared no effort. Xiangfan City was singing almost every night. Fortunately, the two wealthy families of Lu and Wen were close to each other. At one end of the road between the sheep houses, many celebrities and dandies who are not afraid of criticism will enter their houses from the other end, filling the street with the smell of fireworks. The old minister Wen Taiyi, who held the power to promote and demote officials all over the world, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives and pay homage to his tombs many years ago. He cursed the chaos and let the sheep house live peacefully for a while. When the minister Wen returned to Beijing, his unlearned great-grandson had not yet arrived. When he was crowned, he was the first to lead two courtesans back home. The alley immediately returned to its old state and was out of control. Xu Fengnian followed Lu Dongjiang. Although the county magistrate had said that he would open his mouth and stretch out his hands when eating, but if you want to be a celebrity, you have to work hard. It is physical work, banquets, chatting, and climbing high to write poems. It is not easy, but The courtyard of the Lu family's mansion is deep,

6 Dongjiang walked in a hurry, and he was lost and lost. He stumbled and fell to the ground. Xu Fengnian picked up the lantern and followed him all the way without deliberately supporting him. 6 Dongjiang fell so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He lay on the ground and choked, unable to stand up. A person who lives in this world must have some spirit to support him. Once this breath is released, everything will stop. At that time, on the steps outside the mansion, Fei Chi, the 6th king of Shangzhu Kingdom, wanted to not lose the battle in front of Xu Xiao. Spring and Autumn, like residual oil boiling, it will soon be completely gone. Xu Xiao sighed when he saw the scribe whose head was firmly hitting the ground. Xu Fengnian walked over and squatted down, stuffing the bamboo strip lantern into Lu Dongjiang's hands. He carried the old man's body on his back. Lu Dongjiang sat on the ground. His face turned pale, he wiped his tears, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and finally moved forward silently without speaking.

Lu Dongjiang whispered: "The ancestors are gone."

Lu Chengyan stood at the door of the other courtyard. Seeing this scene, she covered her mouth and did not dare to cry. .

In front of Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian and his son, 6 Dongjiang still had to try his best to maintain the dignity of a noble family. Being attracted by his daughter's sad and beautiful behavior, his lips suddenly trembled and he put one hand on the courtyard wall.

On the contrary, Lu Chengyan, who had encountered the bad news for the first time, concealed his tears and comforted him softly: "Dad, our ancestor has finally passed away. A few days ago, he told Yan'er that he knew that his time was short, and that our ancestor's spirit is still in heaven. If you see us in despair, we won’t be able to leave without peace of mind.”

Lu Dongjiang nodded, wiped his face with his sleeve, and wiped it again and again, but couldn’t turn his head to see anyone for a long time.

Xu Xiao said calmly: "Mr. Lu Ge has lived an unsatisfied life. There are not many people in the entire court who are lucky enough to have a very popular minister and escape unharmed. I am very grateful to you." Those elders from the previous dynasty had always criticized him, but after becoming the king, they would criticize him a few times whenever they met him. But he had no complaints about him."

After all, Lu Chengyan did not complain. He could also force a smile and invite everyone into the courtyard. 6 When Dongjiang heard this, he cried secretly again. He lowered his head and looked at the lantern, feeling a little confused. Thinking that his grandfather would give him some good advice, Lu Dongjiang felt that he was completely different from the Taixi County Sheriff before today. As soon as his grandfather left, he immediately returned to his original shape.

In addition to the Xu family and his son, there were also the famous Spring and Autumn cavalry general Yuan Zuozong, who was familiar to Lu Chengyan, as well as two personal followers of the King of Beiliang, Han Laoshan and Xu Yanbing. However, there was one person who made Lu Chengyan's pupils shrink. one time. That young woman recognized that her father, Wang Linquan, was the king of Dongxiang of Laoshan. He was once a pawn of the general!

At dawn the next day, Xu Fengnian, who had not slept all night, quietly left the house through the back door and took Yuan Zuozong with him. When we went to Yongzi Lane, Death Shiyin followed him secretly as always.

Xu Fengnian walked in the alley and smiled slowly: "Brother Yuan, letting Lu Chengyan be the concubine in Beiliang will not only win over the Lu family, but also lay the foundation for scholars to go to Liang." , it is a thousand gold to buy a good horse worth a hundred and eight gold at a high price, and it can also be mutually beneficial. I have no burden in this marriage. I just involve Wang Chudong's girl. In addition to the financial resources of the Wang family, which cannot be underestimated, it can also stabilize the old age. The meaning of the soldier's heart is in it, are we too philistine?"

Yuan Zuozong said calmly: "The Xu family and the Wang family, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. His Highness and the Wang family who already likes His Highness. Women, even more so, can't be said to be philistines. And if it weren't for Lu Qiu'er's support over the years, the Wang family wouldn't be where it is today."

When Xu Fengnian came to Yongzi Lane, he said, "First. The first time I came to Xiangfan City, I encountered the scene of the Six-Jead Bodhisattva leading all ghosts out of the city. Later, I met the blind chess player Lu Xu. I was in a hurry and couldn't believe my luck, and I didn't believe in playing chess. What is the relationship between chess ability and political ability? As a result, I missed this talented counselor who was hidden behind the scenes. Now I regret it. If I had known that this guy was a romantic figure who could write two strategies and fourteen strategies, he would have been kidnapped to the north. Cool."

Yuan Zuozong said with a smile: "This is a philistine."

Xu Fengnian laughed dumbly.

Xu Fengnian sighed and said: "With the death of Lu Fei Chi, the Lu family will have to drag on for a while. This is nothing, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to Xiao Qiang and create branches."

Yuan Zuozong He said calmly: "That's why Lu Chengyan wanted to keep it a secret. Externally and internally, she only said that the ancestor of the Lu family was ill. This woman is not simple."

Xu Fengnian smiled bitterly and said: "Look at her few words. Just after I dealt with Girl Wang, she seemed to have the demeanor of a big woman, and I knew that this woman was not a simple woman, and I didn’t know who would be able to suppress her in the future."

Yuan Zuozong nodded seriously and said: "The candidate for the concubine should indeed be decided as early as possible."

Xu Fengnian held her hands and exhaled a breath of mist, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I chatted with Xu Xiao before going to Beimang. Once, at that time, I naively thought that it was not impossible to marry Yan Wenluan's granddaughter even if I pinched her nose. Now I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her appearance was exactly the same as her father's, and she was rougher than a strong man. That’s all, I have a bad temper, I’m scared just thinking about it.”

Yuan Zuozong smiled slightly.

Xu Fengnian walked slowly along the alley, "I heard that Yuan Tingshan, the adopted son of Gu Dazhu Kingdom, took the Nanhua Sword, one of the Talisman Swords, and brutally killed a Vajra Realm master in the North. Beimang Tuo Bachun Falcon also killed a Zhixuan master with the Vajra Realm. The situation is changing, and if he meets them at this time, he will not be chased by them for ten streets." Yuan Zuozong said: "Your Highness, Gu Jiantang is because of this. Only because of his swordsmanship did he become the Minister of the Ministry of War, but it was precisely because of his swordsmanship that he could no longer advance further in the temple. This man was too arrogant at heart. As a general and leading troops in battle, he was almost invincible. But Being an official is far from satisfactory. The problem is that even if Gu Jiantang knows where he is inferior to his adoptive father, he cannot change his character. If he changes, it will damage his state of cultivation."

Xu Fengnian turned around and said with a smile. "Brother Yuan, are you reminding me that you can't have both bear's paws and shark's fins? If you want to be a good king of Northern Liang, don't be too obsessed with martial arts?"

Yuan Zuozong nodded seriously.

Xu Fengnian was silent, and when he was about to turn out of Yongzi Lane, he suddenly said: "Brother Yuan, you probably know my temper. Many times I can't get it back together. If I walk in the wrong direction in the future, No one wants to talk about me on the way, so remember to remind me that if you can't explain it, you have to beat me to wake me up." Yuan Zuozong still said meticulously: "From now on, your highness will be the King of Beiliang, Yuan Zuozong. Even if he dares to commit the crime, he is still afraid that his Highness will be angry and will not let Yuan Zuozong mount his horse to kill the enemy. This is really a helpless thing to think about."

"Brother Yuan, you will do it in the future. Can you not be so serious when telling jokes?"

"It's difficult."

"Brother Yuan, I feel helpless right now."

Two. When people walk out of the alleys, their sight suddenly opens up. There are many hawkers selling food along the street. They are all the same, even emperors, generals, peddlers, and lackeys.

Xu Fengnian looked at the increasingly lively street and said softly: "Actually, Lu Dongjiang and Lu Chengyan also know that if it weren't for the captain who groveled under the nose of Yi Qiange, he would be far more powerful now. The appearance of Xu Xiao, the Northern Liang King above the Lu family, allowed the ancestors of the Lu family to use up their remaining energy early, and they would not die so hastily. To say that the Xu family forced Lu Fei Chi to death, the calculation was settled. It's not unfair to us. I'm afraid that Lu Chengyan can tolerate this resentment, but Lu Dongjiang may not be able to swallow it. They are not human beings."

Yuan Zuozong said with a smile: "In the future, Chu Lushan, who is already notorious, will not be a big deal. The Lu family will definitely not be convinced. They might as well let Yuan Zuozong do it. Then they will do it. I have to be convinced."

Xu Fengnian shook his head.

Xu Fengnian rubbed his cheek, "Huang Longshi, Xunping, my master, Yuan Benxi, Nalan Youci, Zhang Julu, plus Liu Feiqi who passed away yesterday, all have contributed to the glory of scholars all over the world. Brother Yuan, you are probably not included. I, Liu Xu of Yongzixiang, Chen Xiliang, a poor scholar, and Xu Beizhi, a wealthy family member, all of them, regardless of whether they have any grudges or not, can only watch the backs of these gentlemen drifting away. I wonder if there will be younger scholars coming to see our backs in the future?"

Yuan Zuozong rarely showed his sorrow for spring and autumn in person, but now he was a little undisguised. He sighed, "You say Chu Lushan is smart, but his flattery to His Highness, even if a blind man can't see it, is disgusting just listening to it. How can such a person be smart? But to say that Chu Lushan is stupid, he has eight points. The ability of rhyme and the rhyme of poems and songs are all natural. When it comes to the talent of generals and soldiers, only Chen Zhibao can surpass Chu Lushan. I will never be honest with him in this life. But Yuan Zuozong feels that such a person can be called a gentleman. I can't understand what they want."

Yuan Zuozong hesitated and was about to speak, but Xu Fengnian had already trotted off to buy a drawer of buns from the hawker. Yuan Zuozong smiled and said, "Well, I'm not used to asking him to say flattering words."

Yuan Zuozong originally wanted to say that although His Highness cannot become a gentleman, one day, your back will be the front of the Central Plains.

All the people will look north.
