That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 470 Why Do You Have To Be Surnamed Xu

After a great battle, the inn was in a mess. After cleaning out several corpses, the proprietress cleaned out a fairly clean table, and the three of them sat around the table.

Xu Beiyou had no idea about Huo Xichen's ruthless methods. Killers were always killed, and those monks who died were not necessarily good people. Since they came out to kill people and seize treasures, they had to be as skilled as others and be killed by others This is also the difficulty of casual cultivators. Without the support of sects, not only is the path of cultivation extremely difficult, but also one's own life is as cheap as grass.

As for the proprietress, a person from the imperial capital, she came here in the second year of Taiping, and she had some friendship with Mudan, and she was involved in an old secret. Whether it is related to the Korean party struggle, or whether it has something to do with his own life experience.

Huo Xi Shen glanced at the sword box that Xu Beiyou put aside, his eyes were full of fear. It is said that Mr. Xu, the capital of the Jianghu, has several sharp swords in his body. He had no strength to fight back with just one sword before. What kind of scene should it be when the swords are all out?At the same time, he also had other thoughts. Since Xu Beiyou didn't intend to be hostile, can he become an ally?Or is it possible to climb the big tree of Mr. Xu?Although this move is suspected of attracting wolves into the house, but seeing that the woman has given birth to a son, the most urgent task now is to take back the Huo family that should belong to her, so she can't take care of these details.

Xu Beiyou turned his head to look at Huo Xichen, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Huo, I heard the proprietress talk about you earlier. Are you going back to Huo's house?"

This question was not beyond Huo Xishen's expectation, he calmly replied: "The Huo family must go back, but it's just after I set foot in the fairyland."

Xu Beiyou smiled, "Just relying on the so-called Qishan Immortal Medicine?"

After Huo Xichen hesitated for a while, he still nodded, and said calmly: "After I got the Eye of Eyes magic skill by chance, my cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds, but I was stuck on the threshold of the realm of the earth fairy, even if my own Qi The chance is no different from that of ordinary earth immortals, but I still can't open the sea of ​​consciousness in the purple mansion of the upper dantian, so I ventured into the ancestral home of the witch religion in Qishan. Get a foot in the door."

After finishing speaking, Huo Xichen carefully took out a crystal jade box from his sleeve. After opening it, there was some black powder inside, which was quite different from the pills of Taoism. No wonder it was called medicine, not pills.

Huo Xishen introduced: "This is the fairy medicine I brought out from Mount Qi. More than ten years ago, a human immortal cultivator used this medicine to step into the fairyland of the earth in one fell swoop. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step. Many people compared it with the golden elixir of the Taoist sect, calling it a fairy medicine, and even caused a big bloody storm. Several major sects sent people to Qishan to find the medicine, but later found that the side effects of this medicine were extremely serious. If one's own cultivation is insufficient, or the foundation is not solid, taking this medicine rashly, not only will he not be able to step into the realm of the earth fairy, but he will also be in danger of death."

Xu Beiyou waved his hand, signaling Huo Xishen to put the jade box away.

After Huo Xi Shen put away the jade box, he said in a deep voice: "However, I am [-]% sure that I can successfully step into the Earth Immortal Realm, at least my life will not be in danger."

Xu Beiyou continued to ask: "If you can successfully set foot in the fairyland, how likely are you to bring it back to the Huo family?"

Huo Xi listened deeply to the strings and knew the elegance, and immediately said: "If Mr. Xu is willing to help, then together with the elders, Huo is [-]% sure that my father can live in peace of mind."

Xu Beiyou didn't comment on this, and said softly: "If Mr. Huo can wait, then after Xu returns from the imperial capital, you and I will discuss this matter in detail."

Huo Xi said with a deep smile: "I have to wait, of course I have to wait. I have been waiting for almost ten years, and it's not even an hour and a half away."

Xu Beiyou glanced at the proprietress at the side.

Huo Xi understood deeply, stood up and said: "In this case, Huo will leave first. If Mr. Xu finds me in the future, he can go to Ruyang Mansion."

Xu Beiyou nodded to mark it down, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "No."

After watching Huo Xishen leave, Xu Beiyou turned to look at the proprietress, and said calmly, "Proprietress, now there are only you and me left here, can you talk about that old story?"

The proprietress stopped being coquettish, and she rarely showed a dignified expression on her face, and asked, "Master Xu really wants to listen? Are you not afraid of causing death?"

"There are a lot of people who want to kill Xu, and this one is not bad." Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "Furthermore, the proprietress has survived for so many years, if she wants to silence her, she should do it long ago."

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, staring at Xu Beiyou's calm eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not that those big figures behind the scenes are soft-hearted, but because the concubine feigned death back then, and that's why I escaped by luck."

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "As long as the proprietress tells the whole story, Xu will write a handwritten letter, asking the proprietress to go to Jiangdu for a while. If the proprietress is willing to live in Jiangdu for a long time, Xu will be more than happy."

The proprietress was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Since Mr. Xu is the adoptive son of Mr. Han Ge, he should know about the Blue-Han party struggle in the 20th year of Taiping and the first year of Taiping."

Xu Beiyou hummed.

The proprietress went on to say: "The Blue Party and the Han Party, as the name suggests, originated from the first minister of the cabinet, Lan Yu, and the second minister of the cabinet, Han Xuan. Han Ge was always in check, but he didn't expect the late emperor to die suddenly, and he didn't even have time to arrange the affairs behind him, which led to the blue-han faction struggle that was almost about to meet with each other."

Xu Beiyou looked up at the gap on the roof, but didn't speak.

The proprietress went on to say: "Since the Korean Party at that time was able to fight against the Blue Party, it can be said that there are many talents among them, and the important ministers are Bibi. In addition to the old Han Ge, there are also Zhang Wubing, the commander-in-chief of the five cities at that time. Left Governor Tang Chunyu, Minister of War Zhang Haijiu, Minister of Household Li Chen, Minister of Rites Zhou Jingchao, former Army Left Governor Han Xiong and others."

"At that time, the forbidden army of the Chinese army stationed outside the imperial capital belonged to the blue party, while the five-city and nine-door imperial army in the imperial capital belonged to the Korean party. Han Xiong, Zhang Haijiu and others have even plotted a mutiny. At the last moment, the empress dowager summoned Lan Xiangye and Mr. Han Ge into the palace, and at the same time issued an order that the important clan officials Liangwu County Wang Xiao Gongyu, Lingwu County King Xiao Shu, and the Anwei Mansion took the seal. The governor Qu Cang and the right governor of the Dark Guard Duanmu Ruicheng secretly arrested all the important ministers of the Korean Party, and this calmed down the blue-Korean faction that almost shook the country."

"Later, Mr. Xu knows the result even if you think about it. Mr. Han Ge was dismissed from office, and a series of important officials of the Han Party were killed or demoted. The Han Party, which originally occupied half of the court, disappeared in smoke."

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "I have heard this matter mentioned by Mr. Zhang Dudu and others, so I know a thing or two."

The proprietress asked: "Does Mr. Xu know that there was an important minister in the temple who did not belong to the Han Party, but was also labeled as the Han Party, and finally died in that party struggle?"

Xu Beiyou's face darkened, and he asked slowly, "Who?"

The proprietress said softly: "That person has the same surname as Mr. Xu, and he is not only an important minister in the temple, but also a relative of the emperor. I wonder if Mr. Xu has thought about it. Mr. Han Ge's surname is Han, why should you be named Xu?"
