Chapter two hundred and thirtieth happy

The Chongzhong Army Town, located behind Huaiyang Pass, is different from Liuya Fuling. It is mostly infantry guarding the city, but compared with Huaiyang Pass, which has natural dangers to support, it seems a little lack of confidence. In fact, on this line of defense, the guards of Chongzhong Army Town have never been able to stand up very hard when facing the other three colleagues with the same ranks, and they never speak loudly. Liuya and Fuling Town have always been stationed with a considerable number of border cavalrymen. The chief generals of the two towns have some connection with the two current deputy cavalry commanders. Chongzhong belongs to the embarrassing character of grandma not loving his uncle. It clearly belongs to the Beiliang cavalry sequence, but there are more infantrymen, but they are not related to Gu Dazu's line and cannot hold on to them. When Huaiyang Pass became the location of the Protectorate, Chongzhong Army Town, like the stepmother raised, became more and more inconspicuous.

Xu Fengnian lived in a villa that had just been cleaned up and cleaned. The courtyard was not big, but it was better than Yajing. It was almost filled with military towns in the border areas of Liangzhou. It was not easy to find such a courtyard at this moment. After Xu Fengnian stayed in the courtyard, he sent a signal worthy of chewing and savoring the tomb. The young vassal king did not summon the Jinquqiu Zhou Kang, who had sent the crown prince to the capital with hundreds of soldiers in his early years, nor did he summon Gu Dazu, who had a unique vision in the grasslands of the Central Plains. Even Qi Dangguo, who was the adopted son of the general, was summoned by Chu Lushan and Yuan Zuozong. Instead, he called Ning Emei, who was born in the Feng camp, to drink together in the yard.

The new deputy general of Tiefutu, Ning Emei, is still the interesting man with a rough appearance and delicate voice. However, he is more reasonable and restrained than his free and easy temperament back then. After all, the young man sitting and drinking face to face is no longer the prince of the whole of Beiliang.

Xu Fengnian and Ning Emei had a glass of wine and sighed: "At that time, General Ning brought a hundred people to accompany me to the world to make trouble. Many people, including Hong Shuwen, are no longer in Fengzi Camp and have become commanders or even lieutenants of the local army. Yuan Meng is still there. A few days ago, he was in the courtyard ranch and complained to me, saying that he had mentioned it to you and wanted to enter Tiefutu, but you not only did not agree to your old love, but also scolded him."

Ning Emei subconsciously sat upright and said in the graceful voice of Dongyue women: "In the past two years, Fengzi Camp has changed many new people and new faces. I finally feel that only if you have an old man like Yuan Duwei stayed in it, you can feel at ease."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Some young people who came out of Fengzi Camp as Baima Yicheng occasionally meet in private. I heard that they like to ask how big they each became and how big they had hoped to become. They talked about who became border generals and border officials in the future, and it was impossible to support each other. This is a bit like the same hometown in the same year of the imperial examination in the Liyang court. Back then, our earliest border crossbowmen in Beiliang also experienced this stage. At the beginning, they met again, and they were talking about who died in the battlefield, and they used that very envious tone. After a few years, it was different. They asked how big the newly bought house was, how beautiful the newly acquired concubines were, and how many acres of high-quality fertile land they had."

Seeing Ning Emei's face change drastically, Xu Fengnian waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be nervous, these are human nature. The situation of Fengziying is a minority for the time being. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. I understand this principle. Moreover, Xu Xiao also said something similar. In his eyes, the world you and I are in is very different from decades ago. At that time, almost everyone was thinking about how to survive. Everyone's head was tied to the belt. The difference was nothing more than that of the common people's heads were tied to the straw rope.

The head is tied to a more valuable jade belt, but no one is in danger. But now everyone is thinking about how to live better, so since last year, the family has moved outside Beiliang Road. Since it is possible to die in Beiliang, then escape to a place where there is no wolf smoke and go to a place where there is no sound of Beimang's horse hooves. If Huainan Road is not good, go to Jiangnan Road. One day, Jiangnan Road will also fight, and you can still go south of Guangling River. If it really doesn't work, go to southern Xinjiang. As long as you have money and flee south, you can survive."

Xu Fengnian's fingers rotated the exquisite white porcelain wine glass that was not inferior to the Jiangnan family's products, and mentioned it slightly, "I am one of the few luxury people in the world. I know the market of this small wine glass. I sell about two or three taels of silver in the rich places of the Central Plains. After working hard to move to our Beiliang Road, I have to quadruple it. Of course, to be honest, there are countless valuable items in Qingliang Mountain. The scholars in the Central Plains said that I was "poor million households and rich in a family". In fact, I was not wrong. There were as many as 300 precious calligraphy and paintings with the words "fake" on my handprint in Wutongyuan. However, compared to Zhong Hongwu and others, Xu Fengnian, I, was known for being a prodigal family for a long time, which was different from their wealth-guarding slaves."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "When I was a child, every time Xu Xiao held a priceless calligraphy, painting and antiques to Wutongyuan, he couldn't tell me how good the things were. He didn't know why writing a few words or applying some ink can sell them at such a high price. He had to tell me again and again that this thing was always valuable, and then he would inevitably add a sentence how many horses could this thing be bought in Beiliang, and how many Beiliang war knives could it be bought. In the past few years, I have asked the governor Li Gongde and the governor of Lingzhou Xu Beizhi, and Song Dongming to secretly sell treasure calligraphy and paintings. Seeing boxes of things moving out of Qingliang Mountain, General Ning, do you know what I was thinking?"

Ning Emei shook her head seriously.

Xu Fengnian joked: "I just want to complain to Xu Xiao, you lost money when you bought it."

Ning Emei laughed silently.

Xu Fengnian curled his smile, "I won't say that Bai Yu had just arrived in Qingliang Mountain for a few days and was already in line with Song Dongming. How can I make Zhou Kang and Gu Dazu harmonious? One is the few old soldiers in Beiliang who were willing to look up to me back then, one was an outsider I finally invited, one was in the cavalry and the other was in the infantry. Today, I was in the meeting hall. I was not right for anyone to talk to. Family affairs and state affairs, just talk about family affairs. Wang Linquan, who vaguely became the God of Wealth in Beiliang, and Lu Dongjiang, who was depressed and unsuccessful, had two father-in-law and two relatives, fell together. Logically speaking, I should help the Lu family that was not suitable for the local environment, but can the Lu family really help? Among them, I just don't want to explore Wang Linquan's plan for the children of the Lu family. One is too smart and the other is too stupid, and it hit it off."

Ning Emei sighed, speechless. She dared not say anything, nor knew what she could say.

Xu Fengnian looked at Ning Emei and joked: "Do you think it's not easy for me to be the leader?"

Ning Emei, who was seen through her mind, nodded, perhaps because she was worried about being treated as a flatterer, and said in a deep voice: "I really think so!"

Xu Fengnian said: "I just complain. It's actually very easy to drink wine with you. What's really not easy is Liu Jinu and others who carved their names on the stone tablets of Qingliang Mountain."

Xu Fengnian put down his wine glass, "But the more difficult thing is that you Ning Emei and Zhou Kang and Gu Dazu, you are the ones."

Xu Fengnian exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air and stood up, "Maybe there will be places like Beiliang in the whole of Liyang. In this great world where everyone can live, some people are willing to die. But there is definitely no second place, where so many people are willing to die together."

Xu Fengnian turned his head and looked at Ning Emei, "I don't feel sorry for those things in the boxes to high-ranking officials and nobles in other fields. Even if Qingliang Mountain is empty, it doesn't matter if my Xu family one day is left alone."

Xu Fengnian pulled the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether it was the sword energy in his body or what, but he showed a gritting teeth and said viciously: "But the real family fortune left to me by Xu Xiao, such as the 300,000 Iron Cavalry, was hereditary to replace the Queen of Beiliang, even if one of them died, I felt sorry for me. For example, the morale and morale of my Xu family army, if I lose one point in my hands, I will feel guilty!"

Ning Emei remembered a sentence for no reason.

Those who think more will be tired, and those who are heavy will be sad.

Xu Fengnian suddenly laughed and said softly: "I know this time I passed by He Zhonghu's mansion, commander of the Right Cavalry, and saw the old generals Liu Yuanji of Wei Tieshan who went to visit me. Do you know what they thought? Liu Yuanji said to me a few heartfelt words. The old man said that in just twenty years, the young captain Zhong Hongwu, who would lead the way in the battle of death, would become the Huaihua General who held great power but only knew how to eliminate dissidents in the army. Liu Yuanji told me that we must cherish the current Beiliang Iron Cavalry. In another twenty or thirty years, we may not be able to see it. So he and Wei Tieshan should take advantage of the fact that they can still ride horses and carry swords, and should die quickly before seeing such Beiliang Army."

Ning Emei took a sip of wine and whispered: "It's so satisfying to be born in Beiliang and die in Beiliang!"

After talking to himself, Ning Emei, who paid great attention to details, carefully placed the wine glass in her hand. She seemed to feel that the placement was not right, so she moved it. Then she stood up and asked, "Prince, I have always had a problem in my heart, but I dare not ask. After drinking today, I would otherwise be able to make the cowards brave and ask boldly?"

Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Just ask."

Ning Emei grinned and asked, "The last general just wanted to know if one day the 300,000 cavalry in Beiliang are gone, will you regret it?"

Xu Fengnian said without hesitation: "Nonsense! I will definitely regret death, the kind that regrets the green intestines!"

Ning Emei scratched her head, and there seemed to be no disappointment on her face. Instead, she took it for granted, and just laughed: "It's true. The prince is good at doing business. As for buying people's hearts, he is always a crappy layman."

Xu Fengnian laughed loudly.

Ning Emei said seriously: "But I know that even if I know that I will kill all 300,000 cavalry and the prince will start over, he will still make the same choice."

Xu Fengnian nodded, "I can see that I have been sloppy in recent years, and General Ning is good at flattering his skills."

Ning Emei smiled frankly and said, "If the Old General Liu is right, it's just right to die in the present!"
