Lu Yunchang was very disappointed with this trip to Longqing County. Master Shen just drank a drink with the woman and talked about some things, not even a little bit of love, let alone killing the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Fish and Dragon Gang. Before leaving the country, Lu Yunchang kept talking there, saying that the mistress of the tenth gang in the world was ordinary in appearance and had an ordinary cultivation. In short, they were all trying to uphold the injustice of Master Shen, and the implication was

It was him that he would not waste his energy and energy with such a woman. Xu Fengnian, who has never been very happy to talk nonsense to Lu Yunchang, said something in his heart for the first time, saying that he was not looking for a wife, and it doesn’t matter whether Liu Nirong looks good or not. As for Liu Nirong’s qualifications in martial arts, it doesn’t affect whether she is the heroine in her mind. When Lu Yunchang heard this, he widened his eyes and said that even Liu Nirong deserves to be a heroine? Xu Fengnian gave a four-character comment to the young man and played the piano for the cow.

Next, the master and disciple rushed to Liangzhou. Along the way, Xu Fengnian taught Wang Sheng more than ten rough embryos, including the nine swords of Lao Huang, the two swords of the old man with sheep-skin fur, and the one sword of Wen Hua. She allowed her not to understand her, and only understood her intentions. She did not deliberately favor Wang Sheng, and the sword tricks taught to Lu Yunchang were all excellent, and even Gu Jiantang did not hide his private thunder. The young boys and girls were all hard-working and secretly competing, for fear of falling behind the other party, and they were obsessed with madness when practicing martial arts. However, it was obvious that Lu Yunchang's realm was much faster than Wang Sheng.

As soon as he got to the point, his hob was already very familiar with his knives, and he had a vague sense of master. Even when he occasionally listened to Xu Fengnian explaining the mystery of sword moves to Wang Sheng, he could tell some unique and unsatisfactory bottoms. However, after Wang Sheng recognized Xu Fengnian as his master, for some reason, his temperament became more and more restrained and taciturn, and no longer as innocent as before. Especially perhaps because of the talent for martial arts revealed by Lu Yunchang, the girl was under a lot of speechless pressure. Xu Fengnian knew this very well, but did not relieve the heavy depression in her heart.

As he approached Liangzhou, Xu Fengnian rarely walked the official roads, and only chose those sparsely populated paths, allowing Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang to take turns to fight, asking them to try their best to use weapons to bully themselves. In comparison, Lu Yunchang was naturally more powerful. He dared to fight to the death with his sword in his hand. The Heavenly King did not recognize him. He never hid his face when facing the immortal master, and rushed up in one go. Wang Sheng was much inferior. Every time the goose was yellow out of the sheath, even if the moves were already six or seven, his spirit was only two or three, which happened to be contrary to Xu Fengnian's hope for her. Over time, Wang Sheng himself realized the crux of this. His already dark and rough face became more and more stiff. Every time he looked at Xu Fengnian, who looked dull, he wanted to speak but stopped, and felt guilty and uneasy.

After passing Huanghua Pass, there are more than ten miles to Liangzhou. Fourteen lieutenants are now stationed in Beiliang Road, stationed in guarding the 14 passes, from point to line. This is the five-mile and one shu, ten-mile and one tillage, thirty-mile and one fort, and one hundred miles a city proposed by Gu Dazu, the founder of the situation. In the past, Beiliang was not without Suidun Fort, but on the contrary, the number was not cold, but most of them were chaotic. Once the real war was full of smoke, they might not be able to respond quickly to each other. Now the number is slightly streamlined, but the situation in Beiliang suddenly became clear. Huanghua Pass is one of the fourteen passes. Three thousand elite soldiers were led by a well-in-class old school captain Li Maozhen. Li Maozhen was old and persistent, and was deeply trusted and trusted by the King of Liang. Otherwise, Xu Xiao would not have handed over the East Gate of Liangzhou to him to guard.

Huaiyuan Gate of this pass is the favorite of frontier poets of all dynasties. This door means to be gentle and far away for the court, and to set the western front. The dark blue city walls extending from the two wings of the city pass are like a dragon crossing the desert Gobi. The dragon head connects the red mountain with the mountain to the north. The mountain has the Suoyin Sui, known as the "No. 1 Fire in the World", in the past. Huanghua Pass did not exclude the markets of the people in previous years, especially on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, people came and went, which was extremely prosperous. After becoming one of the fourteen passes, Huanghua Pass became much deserted. The trade teams traveling through the northwest of the dynasty could only take a detour, which was full of complaints, so that the Liuxian Captain Li Maozhen was the first to be a lieutenant.

This specially handed over a memorandum to Qingliang Mountain, demanding that the city gates and military camps be reopened, and that 3,000 elite soldiers would be able to distribute military salaries without Liangzhou, and even provide them with border troops. Xu Fengnian was not in the royal palace at that time, and the Hanlins in Wutong Courtyard had a dispute over this. Finally, Lu Chengyan, who replaced the green ants, entered Wutong Courtyard, decided to reject the memorandum of the old school captain Li Maozhen. He heard that the old and strong Li Xiaowei had resigned and retired. He openly scolded the mothers of Wutong Courtyard who had long hair and short knowledge to be the home but did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. Sooner or later, the old school captain would emptiate the family's assets. The old school captain did not even let go of the young vassal kings, and said that he was not sure of his hair.

Six or seven elite light cavalry galloped out from the gate of Huanghuaguan, surrounded by a white-haired and casual-dressed old man. The old man stopped his horse in a place outside the city, squatting on the ground and sighed. Although Beiliang Road imitated the imperial work department and established a new military farm department to be responsible for all military farms in the territory, in the eyes of the old man who was familiar with the rules of the officialdom, this was just a helpless measure for the King of Xinliang to place foreign scholars. The essence of the military farm was originally the word Wuken. Once handed over to outsiders, it would only be reduced to a fishing place.

The tool for scraping the ground with oil. But the old man was a minister of Northern Liang after all, how could he really make a fuss with the Prince of Northern Liang? Fortunately, the young scholar who was wearing the hat of the military farm department had not stretched his hands and feet for the time being. Although he was a layman in the military farming affairs, his subordinates were still very dedicated. The new villagers who migrated from Liuzhou, the fourth state of Beiliang Road, were still honest and peaceful. The old man then pinched his nose and accepted it, otherwise he would have really done the bold act of leading troops to expel people.

Not long after the old man arrived at this military farm, several young civil servants rushed over after hearing the news. Among them, the young man embroidered an eighth-rank oriole official tonic. Both of them were ninth-rank quails, with low rank, but they all held real power. The eighth-rank official was one of the six officials of the military farming department of Beiliangdao, named Liu Gongren. The other five colleagues were on the border, but he was only responsible for the military farming matters in Liangyou Prefectures. It is said that this was because the military farming department was afraid of Li Maozhen's cone in his pocket, and Liu Gongren was implicated.

He had to stay in the territory and could not go to the border to show his ambitions. After Liu Gongren arrived here, in addition to surveying the fields, he also visited the guerrilla general's mansion several times. Unfortunately, the real power captain Li Maozhen, who had a miscellaneous general, did not give the young man any face at all, and was turned away every time. After the 14th Captain of Beiliang Road surfaced, it was like a separatist in the vassal state, and most of them were new faces. At this time, the arrogant old man who was squatting by the field and facing Liu Gongren with his butt was the backbone of Huanghuaguan, Li Maozhen, the captain of the weak-string captain Li Maozhen.

The old man ignored Liu Gongren's polite words in the officialdom, snorted coldly, and did not raise his head, sneered: "Mr. Liu is really leisurely and comes to me and get close to me. Isn't you afraid of delaying the military farming business of the two states? Or does he think that being familiar with a weak-stringed lieutenant will be beneficial to the future officialdom climbing?"

After hearing this, two eighth-rank official and the assistants, who were as young as the chief officer, were all indignant. They were about to speak out, Liu Gongren, who had a thirsty mouth and tongue, waved his hand and walked forward a few steps to the old man. As a result, the strong entourage held a knife and blocked the road. Liu Gongren smiled and the guards weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Perhaps because he felt that the seventh-rank official's eyes were clear and hesitant, he moved away and let Liu Gongren walk to the edge of the field.

He sat down beside him, holding the collar of the official uniform and shook. It turned out that the official was sweating profusely, but the cracks in his nails were covered with dirt, and even the official patches were stained with dust. Li Maozhen was so angry that he just glanced at him and grabbed the handle again, saying, "Mr. Liu, you are a good official. You are wearing official uniforms and working in the fields. Who would think you are not diligent in your four bodies and grains, or would you be afraid that others would not recognize you as a seventh-rank official?"

Liu Gongren smiled lightly and said, "Working in official uniforms is not cool, and it is also cumbersome. But if you don't wear official uniforms, you will be driven out of the military farm by the veteran general's army."

Li Maozhen frowned without saying a word.

At this moment, the several entourages who followed Li Maozhen out of the city were a little alert. There were three strange people walking slowly on the small road beside the field. When the two sides were three feet apart, the young young man with empty hands asked with a smile: "But Li Maozhen?"

Li Maozhen, who was called the name directly, turned his head and looked at the vaguely familiar Qingyi face, and felt a storm in his heart, but he was a little confused. Li Maozhen was a veteran of Northern Liang, so he naturally remembered the peerless charm of Princess Wu of Northern Liang at that time, but how did the old man believe that the young man in front of him would be him?

Two young men with swords and swords standing beside them, smiling and said, "Li Maozhen, standing in front of you, will you stop cursing?"

Hearing this joke, Li Maozhen could not recognize the identity of this person. He suddenly stood up and then knelt down. However, the young man who looked like a scholar walked to Li Maozhen at some point and sat next to the old man with the official Liu Gongren. Li Maozhen's light entourage were shocked and were about to protect him, but Li Maozhen ordered him to retreat to the city first.

Liu Gongren and the two military officials who had been standing were both confused.

Li Maozhen looked excited and didn't know what to say. The old man was not really stupid. The King of Beiliang really sat beside him. He gave him ten bravery and didn't dare to curse him. Besides, his memorial was refuted at that time, but he just said a few angry words, and he regretted it afterwards. In fact, if the young vassal king wrote the instructions in person, rather than the girls in Wutongyuan, then let alone refute it, even if the King of Beiliang scolded him in person, Li Maozhen would not retort. Li Maozhen, who was in power, would recognize two things than many people, both Beiliang and the Xu family. No matter if you are a kitten and dog, the head of the Xu family after the general Xu Xiao, as long as you sit in the position of the common ruler of Beiliang, Li Maozhen will die for him.

The visitor was naturally Xu Fengnian. He leaned over and walked around Li Maozhen and looked at Liu Gongren, an eighth-rank official, and smiled and said, "It should be Lord Liu, the official who once studied in Shangyin Academy. You can continue to talk to you, and I will listen."

Liu Gongren mistakenly thought that this was a local snake that even the Old General Li was afraid of. He was a very good general seed from Liangzhou. However, since he came, he would be at peace and he would take the opportunity to explain to the old school captain why Beiliangdao wanted to set up the military field department in a "snail-like manner". However, before the young civil servant opened his mouth, Li Maozhen turned his head and glared at him fiercely, "The prince is sitting next to you and support you personally. You kid also tells the old man a nonsense. In the future, I will strictly restrain those subordinates who deliberately make things difficult for the military field department. If you, a member of the army, can directly enter the guerrilla general's mansion in the pass."

Liu Gongren and the two young scholars and officials behind him were stunned in shock. Xu Fengnian looked up and waved, and smiled and said, "Everyone sat down and talked."

Several people sat side by side by side. In addition to Li Maozhen, they could also maintain calmness on their faces. Even Liu Gongren, some people were restless and had irresistible excitement in their hearts.

The six ministers who are in charge of the court, not to mention the officials of other places, even the officials of the capital who can participate in the court meeting may still have many officials who will not even be with the big figures in their lifetime, let alone say a few words. But in addition to the chief assistant Zhang Julu and Gu Jiantang, the vassal kings who have bound the territory are undoubtedly rare than the famous masters and ministers of these dynasties. These scholars who went to Liang have already heard of the deeds of the New Liang King. Unlike the infamous in the past, the rumors that are becoming increasingly fierce now are mostly the feats of the young vassal kings. But even if Xu Fengnian is an embroidered pillow that cannot be supported, as long as he is the master of Beiliang, there will be a large number of famous battlefield talents, including Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong, and Yan Wenluan.

Seeing that they were unwilling to speak, Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, how many roads have you walked after becoming a minister?"

Liu Gongren said respectfully: "I have been working as a military department chief Wailang for more than two months. I don't know how many roads I have walked, but I have changed four pairs of boots."

Li Maozhen whispered: "Liu Gongren, an eighth-rank official, is different from those borers in Beiliang before. I have checked the details. Since I took office, I have never bought a private house or had never collected a maid. However, it is not ruled out that I have not yet been familiar with the officialdom and did not dare to go into the water too early to miss my future."

Liu Gongren was so amused that he said in a muffled voice: "General Li, are you considered good or bad?"

Xu Fengnian said: "As long as Li Maozhen's bad temper, generally speaking, if you don't say bad things directly, that's all good."

Li Maozhen smiled softly, nodded, looking a little satisfied.

Xu Fengnian suddenly called General Li and asked, "Are the foreign scholars who have taken office such as Liu Gongren, who have taken office, are they quite satisfactory?"

Li Maozhen nodded and said, "The least amount can be considered a clean official within three or four years. As for whether he can be called a capable official, he must be too much stronger than those who squatted in the pit and did not poop."

Xu Fengnian said to himself: "That's enough."

Li Maozhen suddenly asked carefully: "Prince, why don't we change positions? The last general dare not sit in the middle. I always think that the prince is going to take off his official hat as the last general?"

Xu Fengnian joked: "Xu Xiao had said before that Li Maozhen was very addicted to official positions, so he made an exception and asked the Liyang court for a guerrilla general with a fixed quota of four people. Now it seems that's true."

Li Maozhen laughed and said, "How can you lead troops to fight if you don't become a high-ranking official? The last general only knows his own weight, otherwise he will want to ask the prince for the position of a commander."

Xu Feng said in a young voice: "I have to fight next."

Li Maozhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "According to our old rules, in every battle, the Xu family cavalry must set up two temporary vanguard camps, or is it Li Maozhen the same? Anyway, the general has promised the last general that the title of guerrilla general can be inherited, and the old man has no wish. The eldest son of Li Houshi in the family, the leader is no worse than me, who is the one who is my son. If Huanghuaguan is handed over to him, the prince can be relieved by a hundred things."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Xu Xiao has died of old age on the bed. You, Li Maozhen, have already lived in the same family for four generations. Why are you going to the border to join in the fun?"

Li Maozhen said in a deep voice: "Then let's take the final trip to the general to attack the border. Military advisor Li Yishan once said, "The Northern Barbarians always remember one thing, where is the gate of Liyang!"
