Chapter 68 Back
When Xu Fengnian and Yu Dilong returned to the Fu family horse team, they naturally didn't get any good faces. Xu Fengnian apologized to Feng Qianxiang. The latter was unreasonable and unreasonable. He knew that when he was away, many friends with familiar faces were on multiple roads. Today, others begged for themselves, and maybe they would ask people tomorrow. The horse team continued to move forward, and after passing through Mazong Mountain, along a winding river that had been dry for many years, Yu Dilong held a handful of green needle thatch and pheasant in his hand, and put it in his mouth from time to time to chew the pitiful
Juju. After becoming a disciple, this master did not teach him peerless martial arts much. There are only seven ways to breathe, six breaths and only one breath. The master once said half-jokingly that if you follow this stupid method, you will be diligent in your practice. Once you reach the realm of transformation, it means you will also practice martial arts during sleep. Maybe one day you will be able to breathe and turn into thunder. Yu Dilong will do as you do. Anyway, except exhale and inhale, this child has nothing to do. Xu Fengnian rode on a horse and occasionally paid attention to Yu Dilong's breathing, and most of the time he was wandering thousands of miles.
In addition to the spies lurking at the beginning, the Yulong Gang also followed him to Beiliang from the big snow-plating in Huishan, and quietly entered it. Recently, Mi Fengjie, the owner of the Shenjian Cave, who was not famous in the world, took advantage of his secret methods to sit in the tribute position. The dead woman Fan Xiaochai also hid in the dark to protect Liu Nirong. The latter was already known as the most powerful and wealthy woman in the Beiliang River. Of course, the guy who really paid for the money to buy a lot of land and land house was Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian even moved from Tingchao Pavilion.
The martial arts secrets that were given to the Yulong Gang were all second-rate and third-rate, but they were enough to make the people in the martial arts world rush to join the Yulong Gang. The Yulong Gang now has face, and no one dares to say that the tenth gang in the world is a group of mobs. Xu Fengnian does not expect these slim Jianghu people who cherish their lives and reputation to work hard for Beiliang, but the war begins, Beiliang needs a solid backyard, and the Yulong Gang with a population of two thousand people. The least it can ensure that the granary in Lingzhou is as stable as a rock.
If the Yulong Gang is just a icing on the cake, then the Fu family has been in Beiliang for a full twenty years in time! The family where Fu Zhensheng is located, led by his father's seven people, led his clan members and confidants to silently travel all over the land of the three states of Beiliang, and even went to the Western Regions in the past few years. With the strength of the family, he found 80% of the mines for Beiliang, but the Fu family was also surprised, why it is obvious that most of these mines are not difficult to "open mountains", and why the Beiliang government only records it and dispatched soldiers to seal the mountains tightly, but did not go to mine. Fu Zhensheng's father once personally found a huge iron ore, which could reach six years of iron smelting.
Ten thousand jin, while the total iron harvest of the Liyang Dynasty in the late Yonghui was only 6.5 million jin. Fu Zhensheng's father also helped Beiliang find a mercury production area of 1,600 jin in Ganquan County, which is nearly 30% of the entire Liyang. In addition, there are three major "field pits" that produce copper in Beiliang, Chengshuichang, Baoxingchang, and Jiannankeng. Their appearance is not the credit of the Fu family. Why did Xu Xiao go to the Fu family's mourning hall in person to worship? This is the reason. In the future, Liangmang will start a war, and the competition will not only be the number of soldiers in the border army. With Beimang's national strength and Beiliang's resilience, once the confrontation is the two sides know that
It is clear that no one can do the feat of killing his opponent with one blow. The key is who accumulated the money and can delay it for a longer time. Beiliang seems to be controlled by the powerful generals in those places, and it is like a private company. In fact, Li Yishan has long proposed that "the benefits of mountains and lakes will be exhausted when they break out", so he has always banned mountains and closed mines and never reported to the court. Instead, he took advantage of the trick of local officials to fill his personal pockets. The governments in various places have been willing to purchase related materials from outside Beiliang with fixed taxes all year round. However, the methods are hidden, and they are all small transactions that have accumulated over time, so they are not too eye-catching. The court side
Even if some knowledgeable people noticed clues, they were not easy to provoke a riot, because not only the emperors of the North Liang Road Mountains were far away, but the states adjacent to the North Liang Youzhou Lingzhou, except for Gu Jiantang's old generals who were in charge of military power, the local government offices were also infiltrated. Over the past decade, those officials, who were not rich in one position as an official, and when they left office, they both received reputation and good fortune? What's more, everyone was doing this kind of thing that was beneficial to the people's livelihood. If the law did not punish the people, would the court even have to throw a hat of tyranny? When Xu Xiao was alive, who would dare to be civil and military officials in the temple?
The horse team moved slowly towards the wind and sand.
Xu Fengnian bit her lip.
Xu Xiao definitely did not leave his son a mess Beiliang.
It's a powerful Beiliang!
Xu Fengnian glanced slightly and saw Fu Zhensheng riding his horse's head, riding his horse, and then heading with him. Xu Fengnian looked at this young face with no sense of worldliness, feeling guilty. Fu Zhensheng's father found the gold mine west of Fengxiang Town. He stood still and continued to explore, asking his confidant to return to Beiliang to announce the good news. As a result, he died in the hands of a group of horse thieves who were wandering around. In addition to Fu Zhensheng's father, sixteen Fu family children died together, and no corpse was found so far. Fu Zhensheng
The Lingzhou children who were dragged down by the family were once blocked by a group of local playboys in the alley at their doorstep after seeing the injustice. The Fu family did not complain to Beiliang because of this. The Fu family was dormant in the Fuzhou area, with strict rules, and would not force the eldest son of the third family of the Fu family. The wind and sand were raging, and Fu Zhensheng had to say loudly: "Mr. Xu, there are more than 90 miles away from Qingcang City. We plan to rush overnight and finish this itinerary in one breath. I hope Mr. Xu can persist."
Xu Fengnian nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "It is better to be a guest and follow the host. This time my apprentice and I went to Qingcang City. Thanks to Mr. Fu's care along the way, I hope I can invite you to drink in the future."
Fu Zhensheng was obviously stunned when he heard the title of "Mr.", which was a well-deserved respectful title, and there was almost no need among his peers. Moreover, Fu Zhensheng had no hope of fame and career in this life, and he did not expect to go to the battlefield to win the military achievements of a scholar as a marquis. He just wanted to inherit his father's will and continue to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Beiliang. He originally thought that no one would call him Mr. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, and a little more sincere smile on his face, but he wanted to
He, Fu Zhensheng, greeted a guy who was almost a stranger, and was too embarrassed that this young man who had never struggled in the official dyeing vat. However, Fu Zhensheng looked at the man's expression, for some reason, seemed to feel a very strange sincerity. This expression was never seen on the faces of the rich and magnanimous children who were both group and xenophobic in Lingzhou. Those people, when they looked at the Fu family's children who had no power and no money, had always only condescending ridicule and pity.
Xu Fengnian said: "Linyao Cai Anshan and Fengxiang Ma Liuke, who are heading west of Qingcang Army Town, have now surrendered to the Liuzhou Governor's Mansion. One of them has become Linyao City Mausoleum and the other has become Liuzhou Deputy General. In fact, they are under the strict surveillance of the Northern Liang Army and dare not cause trouble. Your horse team will probably go to Fengxiang this time more peaceful than you imagined."
Of course, Fu Zhensheng would not have expected that nearly a thousand iron cavalry would secretly protect his horse team by then. At this time, he did not dare to take it lightly at all, but it was difficult to dismiss the other person's kindness in person, so he smiled.
After a moment of silence, Fu Zhensheng suddenly asked, "Ask a rashly, Mr. Xu has a long aura, and must be a martial arts practitioner. I just don't know if it's practicing swords or swords?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I started practicing swords, but later I also practiced swords."
Fu Zhensheng probably felt that this young master, who is definitely not a good person, would not be able to eat too much. He didn't know how to respond. After holding it in for a long time, he could only say: "I have been practicing sword since I was a child, but I have never been able to enter the house. In the future, if I can still meet, we might as well discuss it."
Yu Dilong grinned secretly.
I thought to myself that this guy is really amazing. I want to compete with my master in martial arts?
Xu Fengnian nodded, then asked with a smile: "Why didn't you see your sword?"
Fu Zhensheng laughed and said, "I am used to using cold knife, but now we in Beiliang do not allow private wear cold knife to go out, so we can only find an ordinary short knife to stuff it into our luggage."
Next, Fu Zhensheng couldn't find any words and continued to lead the horse team ahead overnight. Until late at night, the horse team finally arrived outside Qingcang City. Fu Zhensheng rode his horse again to Xu Fengnian and said, "Young Master Xu, we won't go into the city, let's leave."
Xu Fengnian hugged her fists, "The journey is smooth."
Fu Zhensheng said with some concern: "The city is in banned late at night, how can Mr. Xu enter the city? Although there are elite cavalry patrols in Qingcang City at this time, this refugee land has only been in Beiliang for a few days, and our horse team really can't afford to operate..."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a legitimate way to enter the city."
Fu Zhensheng was inevitably shocked and looked at him again. You should know that the military law on the border of Northern Liang is extremely strict, which is not comparable to that of the soldiers and horses in Lingzhou. Since that is the case, Fu Zhensheng no longer talks nonsense and says goodbye to each other.
Not long after the horse team was bypassing Qingcang City, they heard an unusual sound of horse hooves. Not only Fu Zhensheng was worried, sitting high on the horse's back and looking nervously, but even pulled out the short knife. Even Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang were all solemn, especially after an expert in the horse team listened to the ground, he said that there were no less than thirty horses. This made the Fu family's horse team feel like they were facing a great enemy and in a refugee land with a life of grass. In the past, as long as they could ride a horse, they were extremely difficult desperate people. If they were capable of fighting horses, they would only talk about single-handed battles.
It can even be better than the elite cavalry in the border army of Beiliang. Although the Fu family horse team has more than 100 people, Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang are also good at martial arts. If you really have to fight to the death, how can you not die? You are even more afraid of getting fishy. Being followed by the brigade of horse thieves, it is hard to say how many people can survive to Fengxiang Army Town along the way. However, a Fu family knight who acted as a spy rushed back in a hurry, and his face was full of unconcealed joy. He said aloud: "Young master is a dragon elephant rider, and we are our own people in Beiliang!"
Everyone felt relieved and smiled at each other. The Dragon Elephant Army led by the little prince himself was the iron cavalry among the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry. Last year, when they attacked the military towns of Beimang Gusai Prefecture, they were like a strong man bullying the young lady.
The Dragon Elephant Cavalry stopped moving forward a hundred steps away. Only a knight with a lengthy appearance continued to move forward, and rolled over and dismounted and walked forward quickly. This move made the Fu family horse team feel confused. Even if the Dragon Elephant Cavalry Team, which is well-known, is it necessary to treat them solemnly when they saw that their identities were similar to those of ordinary people, they did not need to be treated solemnly? Although Fu Zhensheng and Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang were not sure, they both quickly dismounted to greet each other. The strong armored slatted not only had a new Northern Sword on their waists, but also had an extra hand in their hands. They asked the three leaders of the Fu family in a deep voice: "Who is Fu Zhensheng and Mr. Fu?"
Fu Zhensheng replied respectfully: "I am."
The long-haired man had a ferocious scar on his face, which was slanted on his face. He squeezed out a smile for the first time, strode forward, held the knife in both hands and handed it to Fu Zhensheng, and said, "Our king..."
The bidder quickly swallowed the second word that almost blurted out and said, "Our young master, I said that in order to thank you for this escort, I would like to give Mr. Fu this knife."
Fu Zhensheng took the new scalpel that even many miscellaneous generals in Lingzhou were only known and had no idea. The long-defying smiled and said, "Our young master will reassure you of the sword. It is hard to say that you can return to Lingzhou, but as long as you are in Liuzhou, no one dares to talk about this."
Fu Zhensheng was stunned on the spot. The Chief Biao mistakenly thought that this kid was timid, afraid that his words would not work, and was worried that he would catch someone else and would not be able to take it. He was a irritable person who was famous for the Dragon Elephant Army and almost got angry. But he quickly suppressed and tried his best to maintain a "peaceful look". However, Zhao Jiabao and Feng Qianxiang felt a strong killing aura, let alone face this Chief Biao.
Fu Zhensheng was in front of him, and almost thought that the chief Biao had turned against him and killed people. The more than thirty solemn and cold cavalry behind him were armored in the moonlight. Even if the Fu family horse team had the confidence to deal with an equal number of horse thieves, they had no confidence to escape under the charge of the thirty cavalry. After the chief Biaosheng gave the knife, he turned around and left, muttering, as if he was saying that the mother-in-law and mother surnamed Fu were unhappy, and Fu Zhensheng and the others would not listen to it seriously.
After the bell leader boarded the horse, the bell riding team disappeared in an instant.
Come and go like the wind.
Zhao Jiabao looked at Feng Qianxiang and asked softly: "Brother Qianxiang, do you look a bit like the deputy general of the Dragon Elephant Army, Wang Lingbao, 'Scarface'?"
Feng Qianxiang's mouth twitched and he smiled dryly, "This is impossible."
Fu Zhensheng hung his Beiliang sword after getting on the horse and said with a smile: "How is that possible! Uncle Zhao, Uncle Feng, are leaving."
Zhao Jiabao laughed at himself and said with a smile: "That's right, if it was the legendary Wang Lingbao who had twisted seventeen Spring and Autumn generals, he had a famous bad temper, and we wouldn't be enough for him to clean up with one hand."
In the distance, on the wall of Qingcang City, the chief bang walked behind Xu Fengnian, lowered his head and fist and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the knife has been sent out. The last general has also mobilized 800 cavalry to follow him, and there will be gradually increasing people along the way. The Fu family horse team will not say that one person is killed, but one horse is killed. Prince, please twist Wang Lingbao's head off as a urinal!"
Xu Fengnian nodded and said to himself: "It can be said that besides you, it is the Fu family that has given Beiliang the capital to fight Beimang to the end."
Wang Lingbao raised his head and looked at the back.
It is not always hunched like the general in his later years.
But Wang Lingbao clearly remembers that the general was in his prime, and as long as he stood there, he would stand tall!
Wang Lingbao rubbed his face hard.
Xu Fengnian turned around and asked with a smile: "Deputy General Wang, if I remember correctly, you entered the Northern Liang army at the age of fourteen, or would you enter the camp first? This has been a battle for almost thirty years, right?"
Wang Lingbao was a little panicked, blushed, and said with a hard neck: "Prince, I am not old. It's just a thirty years of war, I haven't fought enough yet!"
Xu Fengnian glared at him.
Wang Lingbao immediately shrank his neck. Damn, this prince killed Wang Xianzhi after all. I'm not embarrassed to be so embarrassed, right?
Xu Fengnian couldn't help but smile and said, "You are the one who knows the movement of the troops in Liuzhou. In order to protect them, how about you fight a war?"
Wang Lingbao subconsciously rubbed his hands and asked, "Is this battle big?"
Xu Fengnian said: "There is a definite news in the spy that Ma Liuke, the thief is undead, and he is flirting with Beimang."
Wang Lingbao was anxious and used to curse, "Ma Liuke, his few thousand minions are not enough for me to pick up a captain to fill his stomach..."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Do you go?"
Wang Lingbao wiped his mouth and a bloody "silly smile" appeared on his face, and he said, "Go, why don't you go? Mosquito legs are also fleshy, it's useless to not eat them."
Xu Fengnian waved his hand.
Wang Lingbao ran all the way down to the city wall.
Turning his head and looking at the back again.
I always feel that the general is standing there again.
Chapter completed!
