Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 691 It’s my turn to set the rules for you

Prince Liang was on the verge of collapse. During the three years he and Lao Huang traveled around the world, it was said that two assassins were killed to protect him. After all, the incident did not happen in front of him, and he did not know the two assassins, so he was not greatly shocked. Now it was completely different. One was a personal maid with a strange fragrance who had kept his bed warm for several years, one was a female assassin who helped him feed his beloved pet, and there was also Grandpa Wei in the Tingchao Pavilion, who could be said to have watched him grow up, and died almost within reach, and he could only watch and could do nothing but wrestle.

Xu Xiao grabbed the side of his robe, pulled the red wooden stool under his buttocks and sat down in front of his son, and said seriously: "Son, you were at the scene at that time, and you should know better than your father how powerful the flying eagle is. Have you ever thought that if Xu Yanbing doesn't take action, the situation can still be turned around. If he takes action, what if he can't defeat Lin Qing and the flying eagle together?"

Xu Fengnian said, "Then you will do nothing? Where are your Great Snow Dragon Cavalry? Where is your Fishing Drum Camp? Where is your Iron Pagoda? Where are your 300,000 Beiliang Iron Cavalry? Xu Xiao, if I am not mistaken, the fire last night was also set by Lin Qing, right?"

Xu Xiao said earnestly: "I did nothing. I sent your brother to Wudang Mountain."

"why?"

"Son, have you ever thought about a question? You just said that the current Lin Qing is not the same person as the previous Lin Qing. You humiliated him outside the Tingchao Pavilion. He could have killed you this time, so why didn't he do it? Because you are too weak, so weak that he has no interest in killing you. Your brother is different. Huang Man'er is a natural master of the Vajra Realm. If he meets a famous teacher to guide him, he will soar into the sky in the future and his achievements will be limitless. If I were Lin Qing, I would never give up the opportunity to kill him."

"So you sent him to Wudang Mountain for refuge?"

"No, I want Wang Zhonglou to destroy his roots."

"Xu Xiao!"

Xu Fengnian grabbed his father's brocade robe by the collar and said angrily: "He is your biological son."

"You may not know yet, but Chu Lushan and Qi Dangguo, who had a good relationship with you, were abolished by Lin Qing last night." Xu Xiao let him grab his collar and calmly looked up at the angry face less than half a foot away: "Now in the army, apart from those who support your brother, there are those who support Chen Zhibao. I can only abolish his roots and keep him in Wudang to prevent him from being involved in this murderous political whirlpool and stop the Ning Emei group from letting Huang Man'er replace you."

Xu Fengnian loosened his hand, which had turned slightly white from exerting too much force. He stood upright for a while, then slowly sat back down, his intense emotions gone. "You mean, Lin Qing suddenly changed his mind and gave up the assassination because he wanted to make the Beiliang Army fall apart and disintegrate step by step in internal friction?"

Xu Xiao stretched out his broad hand, pressed his shoulder and said, "If he kills you, who will benefit? Of course it will be the Zhao family of Liyang. If Dad is so angry that he agrees to Beimang's conditions, or leads the Beiliang men to march eastward, how long do you think Tai'an City can hold out?"

Xu Fengnian thought calmly for a moment, looking at the bed-warming girl who was paralyzed on the hospital bed, and his mind flashed back to Nangong Pushe who had stopped talking since the battle outside Tingchao Pavilion and became like a mute, the groom Huang who changed his six swords into five swords, and then five swords into three swords, and Grandpa Wei who was lying dead in front of the door just because he was not respectful enough. He stared at his father opposite for a while.

"I want to learn martial arts."

"I still want to go to Wudang."

……

Huanggua was not in a very good mental state. She was always in a trance these two days. She took a wooden ladle and scooped two scoops of water from the lotus-edged brass basin on the edge of the urn. The water was not even deep enough for her little finger, so she was frightened by a green warbler that flapped its wings and flew away from the branch. The wooden ladle fell to the ground, and the brass basin slid with it. The splashing water wet her yellow skirt and the white embroidered shoes on her feet. When she stepped back in panic, she bumped into a raised blue brick and fell backwards. Fortunately, the green ant who had gotten up early to help his new master wash pantyhose was hanging clothes nearby. He hurried over to support her, so she did not fall into the small pond full of roses and get injured like the poor bluebird.

"Cucumber, why are you so uneasy? Cheer up."

Green Ant actually knew why she was like this. After that night, she never saw Bai Gan, Chang Qing, Zi Ya and other maids again. The servants who usually helped Wutong Garden to do some rough work such as moving things, laying tiles and repairing houses also seemed to have disappeared. If you think on the bright side, they should have been fired, but considering the common points of these people, they all participated in the firefighting operation that night, heard about Jiang Ni's life experience, and saw the ugly appearance of Da Zhuguo in front of Lin Qing. What happened next would definitely not develop in a good way. It is not difficult to draw a reasonable inference about what these people ended up with.

Because Lin Qing occupied Xu Fengnian's room and lived in Wutong Garden, they were still alive. Once he left or was killed by the masters invited by the prince, the two of them would face certain death. Every morning when they woke up and opened their eyes, they would see a sword hanging over their heads. How could they feel safe in such a life?

"I'm going on a long journey. Which of you two will go south with me?"

Chu Pingsheng's question interrupted the two maids who were licking each other's wounds. Huanggua pushed hard and almost knocked Green Ant down. She ran to him with her wet skirt lifted up, bent her legs, and knelt on the blue bricks.

"Take me away, please take me away."

Now she knew why Lin Tanhua said that he saved her life that night. If she hadn't taken the job of carrying Chu Lushan and Qi Dangguo, she would have been killed by Xu Xiao. Now Lin Qing said that he was going on a long journey. What if he didn't come back? She was afraid of ending up like Bai Gan, Zi Ya and others, so she would naturally seize the opportunity to go with him no matter what. Chu Pingsheng looked around. There was a group of soldiers directly under Chen Zhibao on duty on the northeast Hundred Flowers Garden, which had to be repainted every year. There was a lookout tower overlooking Lingzhou City on the southeast side, and a group of soldiers directly under Chen Zhibao on the camphor tree with a canopy blocking the sun on the west side. They only did one thing every day, which was to keep a close eye on Wutong Garden and report any disturbances as soon as possible. The specific matters included how many pots of water he drank a day, what time he went to bed, whether he snored at night, whether he liked to eat steamed buns or rice, and how much he ate at each meal.

He didn't say anything, but clasped his five fingers together, and Cucumber suddenly flew up. He grabbed the top of her yellow skirt and pressed lightly with his toes. The two of them rose up from the ground. There was a long bird cry, and Cucumber felt a strong wind hitting her body, and the hem of her skirt fluttered on her cheeks. She didn't feel relieved until her feet touched something. She felt soft under her feet, and looked down quickly. She saw a black-feathered eagle flying with its wings spread. Wutong Garden was getting smaller and smaller under her feet, and she could no longer see Green Ant's facial features. The whistling wind was vaguely mixed with her shouting, which was intermittent and unclear.

Chu Pingsheng loosened his hands that were grabbing the hem of her skirt. A strong wind blew, blowing the cucumber all over the place. She no longer cared about the fact that he was a ruthless killer. She rushed forward and hugged his waist tightly.

"Let go, you've wet my clothes."

Huanggua closed her eyes tightly and buried her head in his back. She put all her strength into her hands around her body, wishing she could squeeze into one person. She had no idea whether he spoke or what he said. There was only one thought in her mind: she must not let go, even if she died. If she fell from here, it would take a long time for her to land. That would be too scary.

Green Ant stared blankly at the two people flying in the sky, kneeling on the ground with an extremely bitter expression. She knew very well what Bai Gan, Zi Ya and others had experienced.

The eagle flew across the palace and approached the Tingchao Pavilion. Chu Pingsheng flicked his finger and a beam of white light shot out, hitting the window frame on the left hand side of Li Yishan, who was pushing open the window and looking up at the highest floor. Bei Liang Yincai, who had seen a lot of the world, waited until the bloodstained single sword stopped vibrating before he stood on tiptoe and pulled it out with all his strength, and took out the yellow paper envelope nailed to the window frame. He waited until the eagle turned into a small black dot and flew away to the east. Then he sat back next to the chess table with the unfinished game, pulled out the letter inside, and squinted at it in the window light.

beep, beep...

beep, beep...

Soon, accompanied by the sound of quick steps climbing the stairs, Xu Xiao came to the top floor panting, muttered "I'm so tired", pressed the handrail at the entrance of the stairs and asked: "What's written in the letter?"

Li Yishan put down the letter paper with two small holes pierced by the knife tip, turned his head and looked at Beiliang Wang who was resting at the stairs with his hands on his waist. He said: "He set a rule for Tingchao Pavilion. The martial arts secrets of Tingchao Pavilion were looted. We are required to open it to the public within three months. If we fail to do so, he will erase Tingchao Pavilion from Beiliang's map."

That's quite a big tone.

Li Yishan was stunned and Xu Xiao was dumbfounded.

Facing the millions of soldiers and civilians of Beiliang and 300,000 cavalry, Lin Qing dared to make such outrageous remarks?

"When did you learn to take a joke?"

"look by youself."

Li Yishan handed the letter to his partner who had just taken a breath and was walking over, pounding his waist.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xu Xiao turned around and walked back without saying a word. Perhaps he was worried about falling, so he raised his hands, bent his legs slightly, and swayed from side to side, just like a duck going down the stairs.

"what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to talk to Li Chungang. I can't guard his grave for nothing after all these years."

"..."

"As for Wang Linquan, Li Yishan, it's time for you to take action. We can't always let him lead us by the nose. If this Tingchao Pavilion is really destroyed, you will have broken your oath. I actually kind of look forward to him destroying the Tingchao Pavilion and forcing you, an old fellow, to go downstairs for a stroll. Hahaha, hahaha..."
