Su Mingzhe took Lao Huang and Xu Fengnian to the mountain temple, waved his sleeves and robes, and shook away the dust and dirt on the futon in front of the mountain god's table.
Then he sat down in the middle first, and then gave Lao Huang and Xu Fengnian a futon each. He smiled gently and said: "Uncle, sit down."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Lao Huang saw that Su Mingzhe's martial arts cultivation at will seemed to have reached the state of a master who has returned to his original nature and made everything natural. He couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and immediately asked: "Your Highness, senior brother, you have learned The sword canon left behind?" The master of Lao Huang and his senior brother Su Mao was Sui Xiegu, the 'sword-eating ancestor'.
Sui Xiegu was as famous as the former 'Sword God' Li Chungang. The two had a competition and exchanged arms.
At that time, Li Chungang called himself: "If heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chungang, the way of swordsmanship would be like a long night." And Sui Xiegu said to himself: "Three million sword immortals in the sky may bow their eyebrows when they see me."
Such an unruly Sui Xiegu received a total of two and a half disciples, namely the prince Su Mao of Xishu, Huang Zhentu of 'Sword Nine Yellows', and later Wen Hua of 'Wooden Swordsman'.
Su Mao, the former 'Sword Emperor of Western Shu' and the uncle of Su Su and Su Mingzhe, was trampled to a pulp by the Northern Liang cavalry when Xu Xiao conquered the Imperial City of Western Shu.
The tragic death of Sword Emperor Su Mao ranked among the top three in the national wars of the Spring and Autumn Period for hundreds of years!
Therefore, after the fall of Xishu, Lao Huang took his master's blood feud to Beiliang and wanted to avenge Xu Xiao.
Before leaving, he left the sword code that Sui Xiegu had given to the Sword Emperor Su Mao to the brothers Su Su and Su Mingzhe.
At this moment, when he heard Lao Huang's inquiry, Su Mingzhe smiled gently and said: "Uncle Master, I not only learned the Master's Sword Code, but also introduced new ones and created a unique "Tai Chi Sword Code", which I will practice for Uncle Master later!" Su Mingzhe felt a little comforted when he saw Lao Huang's excited expression.
Although Lao Huang has been an old servant in Beiliang Prince's Mansion for twenty years, his heart still belongs to Western Shu. That's good!
very good! Lao Huang and Su Mingzhe exchanged some greetings with each other, and finally the topic turned to old events.
"Uncle Master, when we left Xishu and went to Beimang, was it your idea or Xu Xiao's?" Smart people always speak concisely and to the point.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe didn't ask why he was working in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Lao Huang directly asked another point with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, when I went to assassinate Xu Xiao, it failed. The Beiliang King Xu Xiao agreed. I’ll let you move to Beimang and let bygones be bygones.”
"Then, you are going to be a slave in the Northern Liang Palace, right?" Su Mingzhe sighed, looking at Lao Huang with a more grateful look, and at the same time looking at Xu Fengnian with a more murderous look. .
The "Sword Nine Yellow" Yellow Formation, which was once famous all over the world, was willing to serve as a slave in the enemy's family for twenty years just to protect the heirs of his former master.
In the past twenty years, how many people have known about Lao Huang's loyalty, how submissive he lived, and how depressed and melancholy he was.
Looking at Su Mingzhe's grateful eyes, Lao Huang deliberately denied it, but after the two looked at each other, he knew that the matter could not be concealed, so in the end he could only smile bitterly and said: "Yes." After admitting the past, Lao Huang The heavy thoughts that had accumulated in Huang's heart for twenty years were released all of a sudden: "Although I have been a slave to my enemy for twenty years, it is worth it in the end to gain such affection from His Highness!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" When he heard Lao Huang admit it himself, the murderous look in Su Mingzhe's eyes softened.
As the old saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry. Twenty years ago, Xu Xiao attacked Xishu. The Sword Emperor Sumao was trampled to a pulp, an army of 60,000 was burned to the ground, and nearly a million Xishu people died tragically.
Such unforgettable hatred between the country and the family is inherently irreconcilable. Now that Lao Huang is being forced into slavery, the hatred is getting deeper and deeper.
However, Su Mingzhe was not in a hurry to cause trouble for Xu Xiao. After entering the mountain temple, Xu Fengnian, who had been silent all the time, noticed the murderous look in Su Mingzhe's eyes, felt a chill on his spine, and shivered uncontrollably all over.
Seeing Su Mingzhe's expression changing and looking at him from time to time, Xu Fengnian was just a playboy at this time, how could he bear such heavy murderous intent.
Unable to help being frightened, he laughed and said: "Your Highness, if you want to kill Xu Xiao, just go and kill him. This has nothing to do with me. In fact, my relationship with Xu Xiao is not good, and I also want to kill him." Come on!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Su Mingzhe glanced at Xu Fengnian coldly. In the eyes of outsiders, this guy was a pure playboy, similar to Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
In fact, Xu Fengnian was not only the reincarnation of the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Zhenwu, but in this life, he also gathered the remaining fortunes of the Six Kingdoms, Jianghu, and major aristocratic families.
As long as the situation meets, Xu Fengnian will be able to leap over the dragon gate and reach the top of the world in one fell swoop. Knowing Xu Fengnian's situation, Su Mingzhe was not in a hurry to cause trouble for him. Instead, he said in a cold tone, word for word: "Xu Fengnian, back then your father Xu Xiao ordered eight hundred Northern Liang cavalry to trample my imperial uncle into a pulp! "
"He killed my father with his own hands and forced my mother and concubine to commit suicide!"
"The hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family, the hatred of killing the father and the mother, are irreconcilable!"
"It would be too easy to kill you in this wilderness now!" Su Mingzhe took the initiative to merge the original owner's memory and inherited his hatred for Beiliang.
When he said these words at this moment, the powerful aura from his body was released, instantly oppressing Xu Fengnian's chest and making him feel congested and breathless.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe's powerful momentum was only released for a moment, and then restrained.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can't take advantage of me!" Xu Fengnian has not yet undergone transformation, at least he still thinks that he is a playboy.
Seeing Su Mingzhe reveal his murderous intention and almost frightening himself to death, Xu Fengnian felt that he was about to pee from fear, his face turned as gray as dirt, and his eyes were full of fear.
Seeing his appearance, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile: "Xu Fengnian, although I won't kill you today, it is only right that the father's debt should be paid by the son."
"Your father Xu Xiao has two sons and two daughters. Apart from you, your sister Xu Zhihu is married to Lu Qinquan, the son of Lu Xuanlang, a Confucian semi-sage in Yangzhou, Jiangnan. Your second sister Xu Weixiong is studying at Shangyin Academy."
"Your father asked my uncle to serve as a slave in your Beiliang Prince's Palace for twenty years. I will capture your two sisters as my slaves, and the two sisters will pay off the debt for their father together!"
"This is called retaliation, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution!" Su Mingzhe said, laughed loudly, stood up, and was ready to implement his revenge plan.
Xu Fengnian's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately stood up to intercept him, asking Su Mingzhe to use whatever means he could to him, so as not to hurt his two sisters.
Lao Huang didn't wait for Xu Fengnian to speak, and stopped Su Mingzhe first. There was a bit of embarrassment in his eyes, and a bit of pleading in his voice: "Your Highness, this injustice has its origin, and its debt has its owner. You are now cultivating." If you are successful and have become a first-class master, you can just go to Xu Xiao to avenge you. There is no need to go to two women to avenge you, right?"
"Uncle, you don't have to persuade me!" Su Mingzhe knew that Lao Huang had lived in Beiliang Palace for twenty years, and he had watched Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong grow up, so he must have a certain emotional foundation.
Therefore, in the face of Lao Huang's dissuasion, Su Mingzhe was not angry. Instead, he explained to him: "Uncle Master, there is a saying in the art of war: 'A soldier who subjugates others without fighting is a good person. Therefore, use the strategy of attacking with troops. , then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and then attack the city.'"
"When I go to seek revenge from Xu Xiao, it will definitely be the time when I restore my kingdom to Xishu!"
"However, I cannot allow Xu Xiao to continue to sit comfortably on his throne of Northern Liang until I return to Western Shu!"
"Therefore, it is imperative to capture Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong to attack Xu Xiao's arrogance." Old Huang wanted to persuade him, but Su Mingzhe reached out to stop him and continued to preach. : "Uncle Master, you don't have to persuade me to talk about 'a gentleman's benevolence, justice and morality' or 'no harm to his family'!"
"Back then, when Xu Xiao destroyed the six kingdoms, in order to break through the fortified city, he captured the wives, children, and children of the generals who were defending the city, and brutally killed them on the battlefield to frighten and confuse the generals who were defending the city!"
"I'm going to catch Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong now just to imitate Xu Xiao!"
"We can't just allow him Xu Xiao to set fire, and not allow me to light the lamp!" Su Mingzhe said, without saying any more nonsense, he immediately threw out his sword and flew directly towards Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Old Huang saw Su Mingzhe flying away with his sword, and had no time to intercept him. He suddenly felt bitter and said, "That's bad! The Third Highness can already fly with his sword. His strength is at least in the Xuan Realm, or even the Celestial Realm! I don't know Jiangnan Lu." Can that Confucian half-saint of our family be able to protect the eldest lady!"
"Flying? He flew?" Xu Fengnian, who had never seen a first-class master, was dumbfounded at this moment: "Old Huang, am I dazzled, or am I dreaming? That... that third prince, is Didn’t he fly?”
"Yes, it's flying." Lao Huang did not ignore the dandy prince like he did in the past. Instead, he sighed and said: "Master, you should learn martial arts. You will not suffer any disadvantages in learning martial arts, and you will not be fooled in learning martial arts..." Xu Fengnian, the dandy prince, heard the horseman Lao Huang start chanting sutras again, and immediately waved his hands irritably: "Old Huang, can you fly?"
"Well, I know a little bit!" Lao Huang nodded shyly. His realm refers to the mysterious realm, and he can barely fly, but the flying distance is not very far.
"Then fly one and show it to me!" Xu Fengnian seemed a little disbelieving, or a little curious, and looked at his groom, Lao Huang, with bright eyes.
"Master, I can't fly far, I can only fly this far." Old Huang said, reaching out and gesturing forward.
As for his gesture, I don't know if Xu Fengnian can understand how far it is. However, Xu Fengnian had already taken the initiative to ignore this topic and turned around to ask the next question: "Is that person really the third prince of Xishu? Will he go to trouble my eldest and second sisters?" This time, the old man Huang replied honestly: "He is really the third prince of Xishu... and he will indeed find trouble for your eldest and second sisters!"
"Then will my eldest sister and second sister be in danger? Can the Jiangnan Lu family and Shangyin Academy protect my eldest sister and second sister?" Xu Fengnian's question made Lao Huang a little confused about how to answer, and he thought for a while. Yes, he explained: "Master, there are many old monsters in the Shangyin Academy where the second young lady is, and they should be able to protect the second young lady."
"As for the eldest lady, there is some danger. There is only one Confucian Half-Saint in the Lu family in Jiangnan, and his cultivation level is above the first level. If the Lu family uses all their strength, they may be able to protect the eldest lady, otherwise..."
"Doesn't that mean that my eldest sister will be in danger?" When Xu Fengnian heard this, he immediately became anxious: "We must tell Xu Xiao the news as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to rescue my eldest sister!"
