The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 474 Xu Fengnian Will Love Brain
The prince of Beiliang massacred scholars and scholars in Jiangnan Road, blood slaughtered Mr. Chengzhai of Jiangxin County, and the news of the destruction of the Lu family spread as quickly as possible.

When Xu Fengnian brought the girl who was persuaded by Luoli to join Zheng Zha and his party, knowing that they had destroyed the Lu Mansion, not only did he not blame him, but he said "good job, reward", and then wrote a note to the soldiers of Fengziying achievement.

This achievement is not just a verbal statement, but a real military achievement. When he returns to Beiliang, he will be rewarded for his merit and can be cashed in.

What Xu Fengnian and his party didn't expect was that after the collapse of the Lu family, several other aristocratic families who were also leaders of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River did not join forces to trouble them.

The Lu family is the head of the Jiangnan aristocratic family, and now that it is destroyed, the rest of the family will naturally not let go of such a great opportunity.

They are all busy taking over the influence left by the Lu family and vying for the position of the number one powerhouse in the south of the Yangtze River. How can they have time to trouble Xu Fengnian?

Besides, they are not stupid, if they really want to offend Beiliang's gang of killers, they even slaughtered the Lu family, they are not as good as the Lu family, how can they be stronger?
Seeing that there were no Jiangnan scholars coming to make noise, and no assassins and martyrs coming to assassinate, Xu Fengnian, who was bored, had to order to continue his journey.

As for Xu Zhihu, originally Xu Fengnian wanted to send Feng Ziying to send her back to Beiliang, but she didn't want to go back and insisted on going to Wudi City.

Xu Fengnian had no choice but to bring her and the servant girl Er Qiao along.

However, on the eve of their departure, they heard the news that tomorrow the scholars of Huting County will hold a talk and debate at Baoguo Temple outside the city.

Isn't this another good opportunity to make trouble?

Naturally, Xu Fengnian would not miss this opportunity, so he asked Xu Zhihu to lead the way the next morning to Baoguo Temple to join in the fun.

As expected, this trip was not in vain, because of a little girl, Xu Fengnian drew his sword and slaughtered a group of children from aristocratic families who bullied the weak.

This move allowed him to harvest a humble scholar named Chen Xiliang with a chest of latitude and longitude.

This Chen Xiliang is not a simple character. In the original plot, after he went to Beiliang, he lived in Beiliang for 40 years. His calligraphy in Liangdi was loud and clear. The Liyangliang Party gradually rose, and the title of "Northern Liang barbarian" disappeared.

Chen Xiliang himself started from humble beginnings and came from a poor background. He not only has advanced thinking, but also is a man of action, which is by no means comparable to those scholars in Jiangnan who only talk about it.

Under his rule, Beiliang has turned from barren and desolate to prosperous and prosperous. The people have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.

Just when this clear talk and debate was destroyed by Xu Fengnian and his party, when all the Jiangnan scholars left in desperation, three figures went upstream and entered the temple.

Three people, three in Tsing Yi, two men and one woman.

When Zheng Zha saw the three of them, a smile flashed in his eyes, but his face was deliberately shocked, and he muttered to himself, "It's them! Why did they come here?"

Xu Fengnian asked in surprise: "Do you know them?"

Zheng Zha looked at Xu Fengnian solemnly, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember the 'Beiming Divine Art' I told you about?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Remember, you said that this magical skill is in the hands of a celestial being named Chu Xuan in Xishu."

Zheng Zha whispered to the front, and said: "The one on the left is Chu Xuan, the one on the right is his wife Xiaoqing, who is also a heavenly being, and the one in the middle is the knife we ​​plan to borrow."

After hearing his words, Xu Fengnian was also shocked, and gasped on the spot.

Two celestial beings, plus an invincible official named Cao Changqing who is fourth in the martial arts rating list and actually third.

The initiative of this negotiation is completely in the hands of the other party. I am afraid that this knife is not easy to borrow.

The two were whispering there, but they didn't notice that Jiang Ni's face had changed.

It turned out that Xu Xiao's plan should not be in the Lu Mansion, but here.

The three of them walked two feet away from Xu Fengnian and the others, Chu Xuan and Xiaoqing stopped, and only Cao Changqing went forward by himself.

Walking a foot in front of Jiang Ni, Cao Changqing bent his legs and knelt down on the ground, watching Jiang Ni weeping sadly, and gritted his teeth word by word: "Cao Changqing, the guilty minister of Western Chu, see Your Highness the Princess."

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Ni in an instant, but she turned her head away with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "You misidentified the person."

"Your Highness may have forgotten that I met His Highness when I was making chess orders in the palace." Cao Changqing slowly got up, looking at the princess who was just a lively little girl in his memory with tearful eyes.

Not only has he seen her, but he has even held her little hand. Even if he misidentifies the world, he will never misidentify her.

In the ten thousand palaces, throwing sons on the scales, arranging their positions, and pointing out the country with the king, what Cao Changqing was looking for was not wealth, but just asking for a smile from a beautiful woman by the king's side.

Back then when Cao Changqing was at his most energetic, he once walked around the Western Chu Palace with his zither, and met her in the Imperial Garden by chance.

At that time, when the sun was setting on the mountain, she came slowly humming her local accent.

In the chess pavilion, she slowly rolled up her sleeves, and the black egret pieces that fell lightly not only landed on the chessboard, but also landed heavily on his heart.

Later, she became a queen.

He competed with the emperor for victory on the chessboard, but when she saw that His Majesty was about to lose, she messed up the complicated chess game with the white cat in her arms.

His Majesty scolded, but she just smiled coquettishly.

He had no choice but to lower his head and not look at it, otherwise, with Cao Qingyi's talent and learning, how difficult would it be to easily resume the game?

It's just meaningless!
On that day, Cao Changqing got up casually and left Beijing alone. He never thought about leaving and never seeing each other again.

Cao Changqing remembered her, and naturally remembered her daughter, the little girl who was as innocent as her.

Looking at it now, it really looks like her!
Looking at Cao Changqing's eyes, Jiang Ni's heart trembled, and her long-standing memories gradually recovered.

After all, she can no longer escape, those things she doesn't want to remember.

With tears in her eyes, she finally called out the title that only belonged to Cao Changqing: "Uncle Qizhao."

A look of relief finally appeared on Cao Changqing's face, and then he glanced at Xu Fengnian next to him, his gaze gradually sank.

"His Royal Highness is a daughter of gold, but Xu Fengnian is treated as a maid. This kind of humiliation, I feel the same, and the five are burning."

"His Royal Highness has been in the enemy's hands until now. I have never heard of it. It is regarded as a felony. I am fortunate to meet again today, so I will use Xu Fengnian's head to relieve His Highness."

Xu Fengnian was startled when he heard the words, is he going to kill him?Isn't this too rigid?

Li Chungang walked to Xu Fengnian's side, picked his nostrils, and said with a sneer, "Cao Changqing, you can try it."

Cao Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly. If others don't know Li Chungang, who has disappeared for 20 years, how could he not know him.

Naturally, he didn't really intend to kill Xu Fengnian. If he really did so, not to mention the restoration of Western Chu, even the remaining compatriots in Western Chu would all be slaughtered by Beiliang iron cavalry.

It's just that when it comes to negotiating things, you must be the first to win. Only when you have the upper hand can you take the initiative in the negotiation.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha knew that Cao Changqing could no longer be allowed to play, so he took the initiative to say to Chu Xuan: "Chu Xuan, you are a Shu, when did you mix with the people of Xichu?"

His words really attracted Cao Changqing's attention, and he turned his attention to Zheng Zha and Luoli.

He also knew that with Zheng Zha, Luo Li and Li Chungang present, unless Xu Fengnian took the initiative to release him, he might not be able to take Jiang Ni away even if Chu Xuan and his wife took action.

If they fight here, Jiang Ni will not be able to bear the aftermath of the battle alone. They dare not really do it at all.

So in the end, the problem still has to be resolved through negotiation.

Chu Xuan said indifferently: "I made friends with Brother Cao only because of our like-mindedness and sincerity. It has nothing to do with other things. I am a little curious, how could you become a running dog of Beiliang Palace."

Zheng Zha's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Don't speak so harshly, my relationship with the prince is the same as that of you and Cao Changqing."

"I am very clear about the reason for your visit today. Jiang Ni is my sister, and she has already worshiped Lao Li as her teacher. After all, everyone wishes her well."

"If she goes with you voluntarily, we have nothing to say, but if she doesn't want to, you don't want to force her."

"Ali and I are weaker than the two of you together, but if we really want to give it a go, we don't know who will win."

Hearing his words, everyone looked at Jiang Ni again, and Cao Changqing said earnestly: "Princess, return to Chu with the guilty minister."

Jiang Ni said sadly: "Western Chu has long been destroyed, which Chu do I return to?"

Cao Changqing said: "Although the state of Chu is destroyed, the people of Chu are still there. The surviving people of Chu have gathered in Shu. These people are all your subjects. They have been in despair for a long time, and they have been waiting for the princess to take them home."

Jiang Ni glanced at Xu Fengnian, then lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Qizhao, can I not go with you?"

Cao Changqing also looked at Xu Fengnian, seemed to understand something, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Your Highness, if you stay, you can only be a maid. With such a status, will he marry you?"

As soon as he said this, not only Xu Fengnian was stunned, Jiang Ni was also at a loss, and said angrily: "Who said you want to marry him."

"Wait...wait a minute..." Xu Fengnian said with a little embarrassment: "Since everyone is not planning to do anything, why don't you just stand here and talk, and find a place to talk in the house."

Cao Changqing said indifferently: "That's fine."

Xu Fengnian told Qingniao: "Go outside and find Grandpa Wei and Ning Emei, and let them guard the Baoguo Temple, and don't let anyone come in."

Qingniao nodded, turned around and went to the layman.

……

Inside the Buddha Hall, Cao Changqing formally bowed down to Jiang Ni again, and Jiang Ni quickly stepped forward to help him up.

With deep earnestness in Cao Changqing's eyes, he said to Jiang Ni: "The righteous men of the Chu Kingdom have been hiding in Shu, and have been waiting for the princess for a long time. Xu Fengnian is very likely to be the next King of Beiliang, and the Liyang royal family should give him a princess." , although Beiliang is strong, it is ultimately subject to Liyang."

What he said seemed to have nothing to do with each other before and after, and everyone who heard it was confused and didn't understand what he wanted to express at all.

So Xu Fengnian asked in bewilderment: "What does Jiang Ni have to do with the Xu family?"

Cao Changqing explained: "If the princess follows me into Shu, it will be what the people want. Once the old troops are gathered, they can return to Western Chu. With one more foreign enemy in Liyang, Beiliang's position will be more stable."

"Secondly, after becoming the Queen of Chu, you can truly be on the same level as Xu Fengnian, and you will be in the right family."

Jiang Ni turned her head and said, "I have nothing to do with him."

"Cough cough..." Zheng Zha coughed, and said nonchalantly, "You have sacrificed all the dragon sparrows of Great Liang to the Flying Sword of Fate, and now you say that you have nothing to do with him, isn't it too late?"

Jiang Ni was embarrassed, glared at him, and said angrily: "You are the only one who talks too much."

The corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject, "Senior Cao, can I say a few words?"

Cao Changqing turned to look at him, and said calmly, "Say it."

Xu Fengnian said: "First, I will not do the matter of raising the bandits' self-respect."

"Secondly, Beiliang mobilizes horses and soldiers to keep the world peaceful. It has never thought of rebellion and rebellion, and let the swordsmen rise again."

Cao Changqing frowned and said, "How can you be the king of Beiliang if you are so pedantic and simple?"

Xu Fengnian said sternly: "There are already enough big men who regard human life as nothing, but I want to be a king of Beiliang who has a bottom line and will be pedantic."

Cao Changqing sighed softly, and didn't want to spend any more time talking with Xu Fengnian, so he looked straight at Jiang Ni and asked, "How do you choose the princess?"

Jiang Ni lowered her eyelids and said weakly: "I never thought of being a big shot."

"I'm not a big shot, you are the last hope of the people of Western Chu, can the princess have the heart to see the people of Chu sinking like this?" Cao Changqing's gentle tone carried a hint of hatred for the failure of iron.

Jiang Nixiu frowned, and asked weakly, "Why must it be me?"

Cao Changqing said solemnly: "The blood flowing through your body brings you glory and responsibility. Princess, the royal family has no right to escape."

"enough."

Xu Fengnian shouted heavily, walked in front of Jiang Ni, blocked her behind, stared at Cao Changqing and said, "Don't force her."

Cao Changqing glanced at Zheng Zha, Luoli, and Li Chungang in turn, and finally looked at Xu Fengnian, and said seriously: "If the prince returns to the princess, I can promise to do one thing for the prince, as long as I can, I will never shirk."

Zheng Zha immediately turned his attention to Xu Fengnian. When Cao Changqing said this, it was equivalent to saying that he had already handed the handle of the knife to Xu Fengnian himself, and there was no need for him to borrow it.

But at this moment, Xu Fengnian's brain twitched, and he said decisively: "Ginger mud is not a bargaining chip, no matter what you give me, I will not change it."

Zheng Zha and Luo Li looked at each other, smiled helplessly and shook their heads.

It's really surprising that this guy even has a love brain.

Cao Changqing stared at Xu Fengnian, and said in a deep voice, "You... want to force the princess to stay?"

Xu Fengnian didn't answer his question, but turned to look at Jiang Ni and said, "Let her choose her own destiny."

Jiang Ni bit her lower lip tightly, and remained silent for a while, then turned her head to look at Yu Youwei, and asked faintly, "Do you want to go home?"

Yu Youwei lowered her head slightly, and said sadly: "It's even a dream."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "Chu is destroyed, we people are like duckweed whose roots have been cut off, and we are helpless from now on. The people of Chu reunite, and the hometown...is not far away."

Speaking of this, she raised her head again, looked at Jiang Ni and said seriously: "But Your Highness, this is not important."

"unimportant?"

Yu Youwei smiled and said: "You have your own life, you don't owe us anything, because you are not just Her Royal Highness..."

She walked up to Jiang Ni, smiled softly, and said the unfinished words: "You are still my friend."

Jiang Ni stared at her blankly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
