Chapter 866: Listening to the Chao Pavilion, the future of Beiliang (this should be last night’s chapter, besides this chapter, there are still two chapters left)

In the Prince's Courtyard of Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Xu Xin hugged Hong She's waist. The yellow and thin boy looked young, but he was very strong and held him very firmly. His careful and protective look seemed to have really grown up all of a sudden.

In Dazhu Kingdom of Liyang Dynasty, Northern Liang King Xu Xiao stood on the same spot. He had been in the army for half his life and had killed many people. Looking at this scene, his eyes were wet. He quietly turned his head and murmured to himself, "This wind Big, where did the sand come from?”

He shook his head and walked out of the Crown Prince's courtyard, no longer in the mood to punish anyone for this matter.

Xu Xiao ordered his close men to stay at the Prince's Courtyard to watch and report the situation at any time, while he went to the Tingchao Pavilion, which was the most famous in the palace.

Tingchao Pavilion, just by looking at the name, you can hear some meaning. The Beiliang Prince's Mansion sits on the entire Qingliang Mountain. On the mountainside where there was originally a lake, it was doubled in size, with the intention of expanding the lake into a sea and building pavilions and pavilions. , the majestic nine-story pavilion that towers into the clouds is named after Tingchao.

In Tingchao Pavilion, it is said that there are thousands of books, countless rare and unique books, half of the world's martial arts secrets, many of which have been lost in the world.

About twelve years ago, the Liyang Dynasty was on the verge of dominating the world. It launched an attack on the Jianghu sects where masters gathered together, specifically targeting some of the restless sects. This battle was called Xu Xiao's "horse riding on the Jianghu" ".

Xu Xiao, who had not yet been crowned the King of Northern Liang at that time, led the Imperial Monk Fang Baojian and personally led the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry. With the cooperation of the masters of Liyang Chaotang, he cleared out dozens of martial arts sects in the north and south of the Central Plains. Many famous sects were wiped out.

For example, the once unruly Forbidden Villa was completely wiped out.

"Feng Nian is gone."

Opposite Xu Xiao, King of Northern Liang, and playing chess with him was Li Yishan, the chief staff officer of the palace, also known as Yuanying.

Such a powerful practice sect naturally has many first-class masters, but if the court attacks them, there will naturally be top masters to cooperate with them.

"gone!"

Relying on the dividends gained from slaying the clan and exterminating the sect, as well as Beiliang's subordinates who have been continuously collecting books and enriching their heritage for many years, the name of Beiliang Palace's "Tingchao Pavilion" has become more and more famous.

The army pressed on the territory. First, they trapped the disciples of the practicing sect with strong walls and clear fields. Then, they entangled the first-level masters with multiple masters, consuming their physical strength and vigor. After confirming that they could not escape, they surrounded them with battle formations and finally crushed them to death.

No matter how amazing the combat power of a first-grade warrior is, after a round of explosion, he still needs to breathe before he can kill again. When the horse is riding in the rivers and lakes, the masters of the imperial court cooperate with the army and do not give those giants of the rivers and lakes a chance to breathe. They just use human lives rudely. Exchange lives.

For example, Xu Xiao only gave a few sets of the Forbidden Villa's secret arsenal to Ouchi as a token token, and the rest were confiscated to the sixth floor of Tingchao Pavilion.

Beiliang defended the Central Plains against millions of Beimang cavalry, and Li Yishan definitely deserved the most credit. As the saying goes, "The most important thing is to establish virtue, and the second is to perform meritorious service." Li Yishan made outstanding achievements in his life and can be called a model of scholarly life and country governance.

Li Yishan once followed Xu Xiao in the southern and northern wars, and unified the entire country. In the following nearly twenty years, he was trapped on the first floor of Tingchao Pavilion, making many plans for the foundation of Beiliang, silently managing, and carrying the burden forward. This enables Beiliang to successfully establish itself between Liyang and Beimang.

During the Battle of Ma Ta Jiang Hu, after destroying many sects, Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, only symbolically handed over a part of his collection of books.

This man with disheveled hair and a haggard appearance is not well-known in the world and temples, but among the intelligence of the world's top powers, he is one of the top key figures in Beiliang, Xu Xiao's chief adviser and military advisor.

"I heard you got very angry this morning."

Twenty years ago, the Forbidden Mountain Villa was a first-class martial arts holy place in the world. In the past hundred years, four people have been selected as one of the top ten masters in the world.

Dozens or hundreds of elite soldiers can be killed or wounded to replace a first-grade master. This kind of deal is a good deal for the Liyang Dynasty.

In front of the big lake in Tingchao Pavilion, several fishing rods were tilted casually. On a large long coffee table, there were many rare fruits and delicacies. Two people sat next to them and were playing chess. They tasted the fruits from time to time and occasionally looked at the Fishing rods, it’s a pity that for so long, they were all Air Force.

"The maid is just being bold, but since Huang Man'er is fine, she doesn't bother to pursue it."

"Huang Man'er...that child...sigh...you want the next generation of Beiliang to continue to be named Xu, but Liyang's hereditary succession is not easy to win. This road is difficult..."

On the chessboard, Li Yishan played black stones and Xu Xiao played white stones. When the two were playing chess, they seemed to be having a casual conversation. "Haha... If I, Beiliang, no longer have the surname Xu, those 300,000 Beiliang cavalry will become swords. They will first kill my entire Xu family, and then go all the way south, overturning this chessboard, and reigniting chaos."

Li Yishan, who was writing classically, raised his head and glanced at Xu Xiao, dropped a sunspot and said, "Don't you always care about peace in the world? Are you not afraid anymore?"

"I, Xu Xiao, fight not to gain territory for the Zhao family, but to fight for peace in the world. But if my Xu family is gone, what will be the need for peace in the world?"

Xu Xiao said naturally, with unruly, confident and domineering expressions in his plain words.

In the past, he had the ability and reason to rebel, but he was concerned that the troubled times were settling down and people were at peace. If war broke out again, he was not sure that he would destroy Liyang and replace him, so he finally endured it.

He had endured it for so many years and had been quietly saving and preparing. Although he had no intention of raising an army to rebel, he had accumulated enough wealth to rebel.

He has no intention of rebellion, but he has the ability to rebel. This is what makes the Liyang Dynasty most afraid of him.

Li Yishan paused, glanced at Xu Xiao, and continued.

"How is Feng Nian doing now?"

"In order for Feng Nian to avoid the emperor's marriage, you drove him out of the palace, left Beiliang, and traveled. Aren't you worried that something might happen along the way?"

Xu Fengnian is Li Yishan's apprentice. It is normal for the master to care about his apprentice.

Xu Xiao continued to play chess calmly.

"I sent Lao Huang to keep an eye on him. I have arrangements secretly, so I can protect him."

"When he returns to Beiliang, it's time for me to go to Kyoto to ask for hereditary replacement."

"But is Fengnian willing?"

Li Yishan asked back.

"He is very smart. He has just been hiding it all these years."

Xu Xiao was silent for a long time before replying.

"Money and power are what ordinary people pursue throughout their lives."

"But some people are born with these, so they care more about other things."

"Feng Nian is very affectionate. After the death of the princess, he attaches more importance to his relatives. However, he has never liked the arrangements you made to plan those things."

"Fengnian complained about you for marrying off your eldest sister Xu Zhihu to the south of the Yangtze River."

"His second sister Xu Weixiong is very talented, and you sent her to Shangyin Academy."

"Even my young prince, you have accepted the request of the old Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain to become a disciple."

"These are the price of becoming the King of Northern Liang. This hereditary succession is irreconcilable. If Xu Xiao wants it, he, Xu Fengnian, wants to take it. Will he take it?"

Xu Xiao shook his head and finally said nothing.
