That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 353

There are so many legends about Wei Wang Xiao Jin. This precocious vassal king is the half-brother of the former emperor Xiao Huang, and his mother is the princess of the former Dazheng Dynasty. Because of these reasons, he has always been guarded by his father and brother.

According to legend, His Royal Highness King Wei was extremely intelligent since he was a child, and he was able to compose poems and prose at the age of five.

At the age of six, he began to learn how to deal with government affairs with his father Xiao Lie.

At the age of eight, he went to Weiguo as an envoy, went to Biyou Island to meet Shangguan Xianchen, the suzerain of Jianzong, and persuaded the great swordsman to go north and build.

When he was nine years old, he went to Tianfeng, the capital of Taoism, with Qiu Ye, who was still the first disciple of Taoism at that time, and was praised by the old head teacher of Taoism as a banished immortal who came to the world.

At the age of ten, he followed his elder brother to compete in the world, and replaced Lan Yu, who had already gone to Huzhou to serve as the seal officer of the Jiangling camp, as the left minister of Wang Xiangfu.

There are even rumors that Xiao Jin was born with knowledge, not only five hundred years ago, but also five hundred years later, and he is the most farsighted person in the world.Whether these claims are true or not is impossible to verify, but 30 years ago, Xiao Jin once made a bet with Qing Chen, the No. Dropped the bet.

After the founding of the Great Qi, there are 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, Lan Yu is the No. Lin Han and Xiao Jin who were appointed king of Wei.

The former of these two is the younger brother of Empress Lin, and the latter is the younger brother of Emperor Xiao. Both of them have made great achievements in their bodies, so they were directly crowned king, but it is also equivalent to being driven out of the center of the court indirectly.

Later, Emperor Xiao and Empress Lin successively ordered that Xiao Jin not be allowed to set foot in the Central Plains. It can be seen how the Daqi court feared and guarded against this King Wei who was almost self-reliant.

Xu Beiyou put the three-eyed blunderbuss back into the wooden box, and said softly, "If Inspector Zhao visits Jiangdu in the future, he must inform Xu, so that I can show my kindness as a landlord."

Zhao Jianxing smiled and nodded.

In the ship building, Li Qingping came out of Wu Yu's room and came to the room of the scholar named Xu.

At this moment, the scholar surnamed Xu's complexion has improved a lot. After seeing Li Qingping, he asked, "Qingping, what is the identity of this benefactor?"

Li Qingping's face was a little gloomy, "Although I didn't say it clearly, since that sister Wu is a member of the Sword Sect, and this white-haired young master is surnamed Xu, it's likely to be the famous young master Xu."

The face of the scholar surnamed Xu changed slightly. He had naturally heard the name of Mr. Xu from Jiangdu, and he also knew that this Xu was not the other Xu. The chief officer has an equal friendship, and has a close friendship with the wealthy families such as the Xie family. More importantly, that Mr. Xu is still the young master of the sword sect, and it is only a matter of time before he takes over the position of the master of the sword sect. Hundreds, killing people at every turn, it is not an exaggeration to say that the power is overwhelming.

He sometimes thought, if he was that Mr. Xu, would the Li family dare to despise him so much?

But the same surname is Xu, why is there such a big gap?

A gloomy haze flashed across the eyes of the scholar surnamed Xu.

How unfair the law of heaven is!

If I have an adoptive father who calls the wind and rain in the temple, and a sword fairy master, with my full of splendid talents, I will definitely do better than that Mr. Xu. At that time, he will not be limited to Jiangdu. Nao, he wants to go to the capital of God, and he will enter the prime minister. At that time, what is the mere Li family?At that time, it's not that he is not good enough for Miss Li's family, but Miss Li's family is not good enough for him.At that time, to marry a wife, you must marry the princess of the dynasty!
Li Qingping sat on the edge of the bed, the scholar surnamed Xu collected his thoughts, saw no one around, and said softly: "We can only rely on this benefactor for the current plan, if he can help, I think the old lady will look at the benefactor's face, Will let us go."

Li Qingping shook her head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Our Li family has always been on good terms with Mr. Lan, but Mr. Xu is the adopted son of Mr. Han. Everyone knows that Mr. Lan and Mr. Han are at odds. This time, Mr. Xu The young master suddenly visited Jiangling, I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

The scholar Xu surnamed said happily: "If this is the case, wouldn't the Li family ignore us? After all, it's really the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good."

Li Qingping looked at him in shock, her eyes were very strange, as if she had just met him, "Ankang, how can you say that? No matter what the Li family is, that is the home where I was born and raised, and my parents are there. I still feel sorry for them."

Xu Ankang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly made amends: "Qingping, listen to me, I didn't mean that, I just thought they were too deceitful before, so I hope someone can kill their prestige, this is also for the two of us After that, there is absolutely no other meaning.”

Li Qingping lowered her head not to meet his gaze, and remained silent.

For some reason, Li Qingping, who resolutely resisted the marriage and eloped, didn't feel much at all, but at this moment, she felt a little unspeakably tired.

At this moment, undisguised footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and a moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Li Qingping got up to open the door, and Xu Beiyou walked into the house with the wooden box.

Xu Ankang, who was still on the bed, struggled to sit up, and bowed his hands in salute: "Xu Ankang thanked the young master for his help."

Xu Beiyou looked at the scholar with a cold face, and said flatly: "According to my temperament, I don't want to meddle in other people's business. If you want to thank, you can thank my junior sister Wu Yu. She is the one who insists on saving you."

Xu Ankang's eyes flashed an imperceptible brilliance, and he said softly: "In any case, the young master is the benefactor of both of us, and you haven't asked the young master's name yet?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "My surname is also Xu, but it has nothing to do with you, Jiangnan Xu. I am with Xu Yefei's family in the imperial capital. My name is Xu Beiyou. Friends in Jiangdu appreciate me and honor me as Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu.

Although he had guessed for a long time, Xu Ankang was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears.

Xu Beiyou continued to calmly say: "I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your conversation, but the sound insulation of this building is really bad. Just now you said that I would go to Jiangling to find trouble with the Li family. This is not bad. After all, I still have a debt with Li Zijian." I haven't figured it out, maybe you haven't heard of the name Li Zijian, but the old man of the Li family should know, right? I saved you, not out of mercy, and I don't need you to thank me, just take what you need."

Li Qingping's face was extremely pale, without even a trace of blood.

Xu Beiyou looked at her and said softly: "I regard Qinglian as my younger sister. Since you know Qinglian and are her cousin, if you don't want to go to Li's house, I won't force you. You can send someone to see you off right now. You go to Jiangdu."

After all, Xu Beiyou didn't care how the two of them reacted, turned around and went out.

Not far after going out, she met Wu Yu who was waiting here, and she asked softly, "How does senior brother plan to deal with these two people?"

"I can't talk about dealing with it." Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "It's just that I don't like them. Although I won't make trouble, I'm not willing to give them help in the middle of nowhere. Let them fend for themselves."

Wu Yu sighed softly, "Li Qingping is alright, but that Xu Ankang is really a bit unattractive. I don't know why Li Qingping blindly fell in love with such a man, and even went so far as to resist marriage and elope. It's really pitiful."

Xu Beiyou took out the copper three-eyed blunderbuss from the wooden box, pointed at the river outside the boat, and said softly: "Women, if you don't know the world, you will inevitably be deceived. In the end, just find an honest man to marry, and you can spend the rest of your life in peace. , what a pity."

Bang!
The sparks are particularly eye-catching in the night.

There was a gunshot and countless splashes of water.

Xu Beiyou blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, "The honest ones are pitiful."
