After King Zhenbei led 50,000 elite troops into the city.
The whole of Beiliang was in a state of turmoil. A large number of northern troops guarded the city gate, and the people in the city were unable to leave the city, or even walk even an inch. Merchants outside the city were stopped and had no choice but to turn back with their goods.
Even though Xu Xiao was furious, there was nothing he could do.
If this battle really breaks out, the Xu family will suffer the most, and it will most likely speed up the Xu family's destruction.
Seeing that the King of Northern Liang, who once led 300,000 Northern Liang iron horses to ride across the rivers and lakes, and dominated the world, has now become so depressed, everyone finds it extremely ridiculous and finds it difficult to accept this fact.
After all, they could all clearly see the intention of King Zhenbei.
It is nothing more than relying on the support of the Liyang royal family to win over Beiliang as soon as possible and replace Xu Xiao's position.
As long as the King of Northern Liang dares to show his face, they will definitely choose to go to war without hesitation.
Some people may also think that Xu Xiao has an army of 300,000 cavalry, and even if a war really starts, he may not be defeated by the King of Zhenbei.
But be aware.
Today's Liyang Dynasty is no longer the down-and-out alien race it once was.
After unifying the six kingdoms, Emperor Liyang began to win over other dynasties. Not only did his luck improve a lot, but his military force also underwent earth-shaking changes!
Among them, the three emperors of Liyang all wanted to get rid of the Xu family so that they could stabilize the world.
After all, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?
Especially the current emperor, who already had the idea of eradicating the Xu family before he ascended the throne.
Wu Taiyuan was a close confidant of the Zhao family. He had made great contributions in guarding the northern border and was loyal to the royal family. They were naturally willing to support such a puppet to eradicate the Xu family for their Zhao dynasty.
Under all kinds of pressure, even if Xu Xiao wanted to resist, he could only helplessly let him suppress him.
not to mention.
Xu Xiao spent his whole life paving the way for his son Xu Fengnian, wanting him to take over Beiliang and become the new King of Beiliang.
If a war broke out at this time, the Xu family would have no chance of keeping silent. Even his most precious son would be involved and even die.
He had too many things to worry about, and he didn't even dare to start a war at this time.
That's why.
Even though Wu Taiyuan's hand had reached his face, he could only reluctantly move his face towards him and endure the blow.
And at this time.
In the territory of Beiliang, Wudang Mountain.
A young man wearing a white robe, with a slender figure and a rather elegant appearance was looking solemnly at the majestic waterfall.
A pair of extremely beautiful Danfeng eyes revealed a look of pride, letting the water droplets splashed by the waterfall hit his body wantonly.
"Cut off the Lancang River with one finger? Is that old man Wang Zhonglou really that strong?"
"But why can't I cut off this waterfall after he delivered the Great Yellow Court to me?"
Xu Fengnian lowered his head and glanced at his hands, which were covered with calluses and still oozing blood, and another doubt flashed in his eyes.
Not long ago, Wang Zhonglou had taught him Dahuang Ting, the inner strength and mental technique that he had practiced for many years.
Dahuangting is Wudang's most unique mental method. After practicing it, it can make people's energy last forever and prolong their lives. Except for the past masters of Wudang, others are not qualified to practice it.
It seems to be due to the absorption of Dahuang Ting and Wang Zhonglou's six powers.
Xu Fengnian's cultivation is getting better and better day by day, and his realm is also constantly improving.
At this time, he had transformed from a playboy with no cultivation into a second-grade warrior with extraordinary strength.
Not only that, he could also clearly notice that his cultivation level was improving very quickly. Other warriors would need to spend several years or even decades to practice to reach the next level, but he could reach the next level in a year and a half. Within, it’s easy!
This is like finding a rich woman and saving yourself from struggling for more than ten years.
However, what puzzled him was.
Why can't I use these powers completely and smoothly?
Is it difficult to cut off even the waterfall in front of you?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fengnian shook his head and said to himself.
"The way the Dahuang Court was opened must be wrong, come again!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, then raised the Spring Thunder Sword given by Nangong Pushe in his hand, gathered his true energy, looked seriously, and tried to cut off the Feiliu Waterfall in front of him again!
But just when he was about to swing his sword.
A pleasant voice suddenly came over.
"Xu Fengnian, stop practicing, your family will be in big trouble!"
Hear this.
Xu Fengnian, who was holding the Spring Thunder Sword, was stunned for a moment, and his hands froze in mid-air.
Wudang disciples practice martial arts in the mountains all year round and rarely go down the mountain. They have no knowledge of what is happening in the outside world. Therefore, Xu Fengnian has not known news related to Beiliang for a long time.
But he quickly came to his senses and responded nonchalantly.
"There are a lot of big things going on in my stall, little clay figurine, why don't you tell me, what kind of big things are worthy of your being so anxious?"
good.
The person who came was none other than Jiang Ni, who had long hair hanging down to his waist, wore a light yellow robe, had an excellent appearance, and had a pair of obvious dimples on his cheeks.
Although Xu Fengnian didn't care about this, he frowned slightly when he saw the nervousness on Jiang Ni's face.
Jiang Ni was the former Taiping Princess of Western Chu. After Xu Xiao led his army to sweep through the six kingdoms and completely destroyed Western Chu, he hid her in the Prince of Beiliang.
From then on, she regarded the King of Northern Liang as an enemy who destroyed the country and the family, and Xu Fengnian was Xu Xiao's son, so she naturally hated him in her heart.
Although he hated the Xu family deeply and insisted on assassinating Xu Fengnian, after spending many years with him, Jiang Ni also developed some inexplicable feelings for him.
Therefore, her hatred for the Northern Liang Crown Prince was only visible on the outside, but she was a little reluctant in her heart.
In Xu Fengnian's eyes, Jiang Ni has always had a deep hatred for the Xu family. Logically speaking, she should be happy when the Xu family is in trouble.
But at this moment, there was a nervous look on his face, which made him feel a strong uneasiness in his heart.
Looking at Xu Fengnian's disdainful look.
Jiang Ni didn't give any face at all. He immediately crossed his arms, turned his head and said arrogantly.
"One hundred cents! Give me one hundred cents and I'll tell you!"
Hear this.
Xu Fengnian suddenly felt a little funny and ignored her. He raised the Spring Thunder Knife he had just put down again and responded disdainfully.
"What nonsense is worth a hundred cents? Do you really think that my money came from the strong wind? You don't want to say it, but I'm not willing to listen!"
"If you interrupt my sword practice again, be careful I will turn you into a real little clay figurine with one strike!"
After saying this, his eyes focused on the turbulent waterfall again.
Seeing that Xu Fengnian didn't care about the Xu family's affairs at all, Jiang Ni became a little anxious and immediately stamped his feet and said angrily.
"The King of Zhenbei has entered Beiliang. Xu Xiao can't do anything to him and can only let him cause trouble in Beiliang!"
Hearing this, Xu Fengnian was stunned again!
The King of Zhenbei was very ambitious and wanted to take over Beiliang and replace Xu Xiao, which he knew very well.
Moreover, he also knew that King Zhenbei had the support of the Liyang royal family, and his power was becoming more and more powerful, and he would soon be on an equal footing with Xu Xiao.
When he first learned that the Liyang royal family was eyeing the Xu family and that the Liyang emperor was always thinking about eradicating the Xu family, Xu Xiao asked him to hide his clumsiness and make himself a playboy, hiding his talents and confusing the royal family, so as to protect himself and for the future. Prepare to take over Beiliang.
However, the Liyang royal family was still suspicious, and the King of Zhenbei was pressing harder. There was no point in hiding him no matter how hard he tried.
Therefore, after Jian Jiuhuang died in the battle of Emperor Wu, Xu Fengnian no longer hid his clumsiness, no longer showed himself to the public as a dandy prince, and resolutely stepped into the world.
He originally wanted to return from his studies as soon as possible, take over Beiliang, and defeat the King of Zhenbei for the Xu family.
But I never expected it.
The King of Zhenbei has actually led his army into the city at this time? !
Moreover, he could clearly see that King Zhenbei's trip to Beiliang must be well prepared, and he would definitely wipe out Xu Xiao's face!
As the prince of Northern Liang, he sees the current situation of the Xu family clearly than anyone else.
The Liyang royal family and the King of Zhenbei are in collusion. The combined power of the two is completely capable of suppressing the Xu family!
That is to say.
At this time, the Xu family was indeed in disaster!
Think of this.
Xu Fengnian frowned, anger welling up in his heart, even his eyes revealed a ruthless look, and he said coldly.
"You Wu Taiyuan, are you so anxious to take over Beiliang for me? I'm not dead yet!"
After scolding him angrily, Xu Fengnian put the Spring Thunder Knife into its scabbard with an angry look on his face, and then walked toward the hut menacingly.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Ni was stunned for a moment and immediately asked.
"Xu Fengnian, where are you going? Are you no longer practicing swordsmanship?"
Hearing Jiang Ni's question from behind him, Xu Fengnian responded without looking back.
"Pack your things and go back to the palace! Find the man named Wu to settle the score!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ni instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Having been with Xu Fengnian for so long, she knows the temperament of this Northern Liang prince best.
If it were an ordinary troublesome matter, Xu Xiao would naturally take care of it himself without bothering him at all.
But at this time, his face was full of anger, and he exuded a murderous intention. Obviously, it was not a trivial matter for the King of Zhenbei to lead his army into Beiliang, and it was very likely to be related to the future of the Xu family!
This also made Jiang Ni feel entangled.
Looking at Xu Fengnian's fading figure, her eyes suddenly showed a hint of loneliness, and she couldn't help but secretly thought in her heart.
"Is it really a good thing that the Xu family is in trouble..."
After a while, without thinking any more, she followed him with hasty steps.
……
After returning to the hut.
Xu Fengnian was cursing and packing his luggage, the anger in his eyes clearly visible.
"Jiang Ni, I'm going back to the palace first. You stay here and help me tell Headmaster Wang and that smelly Taoist priest who only knows how to herd cattle and study all day long. I will send someone to take you back in two days!"
Hear this.
Jiang Ni shook his head like a rattle and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"No! We have to go back together! I don't want to be alone in this hellish place!"
Xu Fengnian knew this girl's character well, so he sighed helplessly and continued to pack his luggage.
Soon, he walked out of the hut carrying a heavy package and holding a saber.
Jiang Ni followed her, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
However.
Just as the two of them walked out of the hut, they were about to walk down the mountain.
I saw an old man wearing a Taoist robe, with white hair, holding a fly whisk, and a Taoist fairy-like temperament standing outside the house.
Behind the old man was a man who was also wearing Taoist robes, handsome, with deep eyes and outstanding temperament.
The two of them just stood outside the house with indifferent expressions, as if they were trying to prevent them from going down the mountain.
"The Crown Prince planned to go down the mountain without even saying hello. He must have heard the news that King Zhenbei led his army into the city, right?"
The old man looked at the package in Xu Fengnian's hand and asked calmly.
"Headmaster Wang, you knew that Wu Taiyuan had entered Beiliang, but you kept it from me. Now come here and ask me, is it interesting?"
Xu Fengnian responded with an unhappy expression.
The King of Zhenbei has been making trouble in Beiliang City for several days. He doesn't believe that Wang Chonglou doesn't know about this matter, but the other party has been reluctant to tell him, obviously deliberately concealing it.
Therefore, he was naturally dissatisfied with Wang Chonglou.
Seeing that Xu Fengnian was angry, the man standing behind him hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, laughing a little confidently.
"Your Majesty has just learned Dahuangting not long ago, and has not yet completely consolidated this mental method in his mind. Senior brother didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would mess up your state of mind and delay your cultivation!"
The anger on Xu Fengnian's face suddenly became more obvious, and he pointed at the man's nose and scolded him unceremoniously.
"Smelly Niubi, I have no interest in beating you today! But if you speak for him again, I won't mind beating you again!"
Hear this.
Hong Xixiang, who was called the Stinky Bull Nose, was immediately startled. He subconsciously covered his crotch with his hands, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
When Xu Fengnian first went to Wudang Mountain to practice martial arts, he gave him a good beating, saying that he was good at beating people, but the Northern Liang prince chose to beat him there.
To this day, the memory of Hong Xiang is still fresh in my mind, and I still have lingering fears.
Looking at Xu Fengnian's extremely cold eyes, he could only stand behind Wang Zhonglou obediently, not daring to say another word.
"Your Majesty, I do intend to hide this from you."
"The King of Zhenbei dares to lead his army into Beiliang so blatantly. It is obvious that he is fully prepared for war. Although you have learned the Dahuang Court from me, you are still at the second-level realm after all."
"So what if I let you know? With your current meager strength, what have you done? It's better to stay in Wudang and continue to practice. It won't be too late to go down the mountain for revenge when the time is right."
Wang Zhonglou's face remained extremely calm and he slowly explained.
The reason why he taught Da Huang Ting to Xu Fengnian was mainly for the future of Wudang.
Only by using Dahuang Ting as a bargaining chip can he form an alliance with the Xu family to fight against his mortal enemy Longhu Mountain and prosper Wudang.
But he didn't expect that King Zhenbei would be so bold as to lead his army into the city first and frighten King Beiliang.
This also means that the Xu family has begun to decline.
But he knew that if Xu Fengnian did not die, Xu Xiao would definitely be fully prepared to resist, and the Xu family would not fall so easily.
Now that Dahuangting has been taught to Xu Fengnian, he can only regard it as his last hope.
Even if this hope is slim, he still has to hold on tightly.
After all, from the moment he taught Da Huang Ting, Wudang's fate had been tied to Xu Fengnian!
Hear Wang Zhonglou’s explanation.
Xu Fengnian just thought that the old man was farting, and his face was still full of anger.
My family is almost gone, why the hell are you still telling me this?
"Go away."
Without any hesitation, Xu Fengnian scolded and planned to take Jiang Ni down the mountain.
However, just as he passed by Wang Zhonglou, he heard the other party say something faintly.
"Your Majesty, since you don't listen to advice, I can only use force to keep you here!"
As he spoke, a majestic force suddenly swept over, the void twisted, and the earth trembled.
Seeing the huge change in the sky and the sound of hissing in the wind, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but froze on the spot, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart! ! !
