The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 252 Understanding and Fear

By the river beach, in a fire pond surrounded by stones, a pile of sweet potatoes was placed in a circle around the edge, and a bonfire was burning in the middle.

Li Fei's musical instrument was placed aside, and he held a fire stick in his hand, and dug out the red-hot coals in the fire pit, making them cover the sweet potatoes.

The bursts of sweetness of sweet potatoes continued to emanate, causing Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang to salivate.

The three of them had been going north for several days, and the dry food they carried had already been eaten up, and they hadn't encountered any towns along the way.

When I came here, I happened to come across a field of crops. Now it is the season of sweet potatoes ripening, and farmers are harvesting sweet potatoes in the field.

Li Fei paid for a bunch of sweet potatoes from a farmer and took them with him as dry food.

In the original plot, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang were stolen sweet potatoes, and they were chased by farmers, and finally lost their horses to others.

This is also the usual trick they used to get caught stealing and eating when they had no money in the past.

Every time they lost that old horse to someone else, it would run back by itself. Relying on this horse, they did not know how many meals they had.

Now that Li Fei is here, they naturally don't need to do this anymore.

Li Fei earned more than 100 pennies in a concert in that town, especially the hero of the rivers and lakes, who gave him a whole tael of silver.

Even in a town, it was enough for the three of them to live for two months.

After a while, Li Fei pulled away the ashes of the charcoal, and turned out the sweet potatoes that had been roasted until their skins were blackened.

"The sweet potato is ripe, start it, be careful not to burn it."

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang couldn't wait to pick up one each, and while tossing it back and forth in their hands, they blew on it with their mouths.

Peel off the skin of the sweet potato and bite it down. It feels soft and sweet, and the two of them are very satisfied.

The three of them ate up all the baked sweet potatoes with clear water, and their hungry stomachs immediately felt relieved.

Xu Fengnian leaned back contentedly, put his hands behind his back, raised his head to Li Feiyang and said, "Hey Ah Fei, I still don't know, where are you from?"

Li Fei's expression darkened, he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xu Fengnian said in surprise: "I don't know? How could I not know?"

Li Fei frowned and sighed: "I don't know what happened, I lost my memory."

Xu Fengnian asked in surprise, "Amnesia?"

Li Fei nodded and said, "I only remember that my name is Li Fei and I am proficient in rhythm, and I don't remember anything else."

"Although I occasionally see certain scenes, I will faintly think of something, but I just can't think clearly, alas..."

Xu Fengnian wondered: "It's so strange, where did you wake up in the first place?"

Li Fei said: "It was in a ruined temple outside Yongzhou City. When I woke up, I only had these few instruments around me."

Xu Fengnian patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and comforted him: "Don't worry, since you can occasionally be reminded of certain scenes, it means that you are not completely amnesia."

"I've heard of this situation before. It should only be temporary, and I will remember it sooner or later."

Li Fei forced a smile and said, "Maybe! But no matter what, you must let yourself live well first."

Xu Fengnian grinned and said, "Don't worry, the prince of Beiliang is famously generous. With your ability, you will definitely get a reward from him."

"Maybe when the time comes, His Royal Highness will be happy and take you into the palace as a clean guest. Not to mention the prosperity and wealth, it will be no problem to worry about food and clothing."

Listening to Xu Fengnian's words, Lao Huang showed his big yellow teeth, which made him laugh.

Li Fei cheered up, and said: "I hope so, I hope the two songs I wrote can suit the appetite of the prince."

Xu Fengnian said with a tangled face: "Why don't you sing first..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the sound of chaotic horseshoes.

The three of them turned their heads and saw a dozen riders galloping towards them in the distance.

The three of them sat on the ground without moving, silently watching the knight on horseback.

The dozen or so riders came to the front in an instant, separated from the left and right, and stopped beside the three of them.

Although those knights had no hostility towards the three of them, they subconsciously surrounded the three of them when they acted, keeping a bit of vigilance at all times.

The leader is a big Angzang man dressed in wool fur, a headband on his head, and a thick-backed machete on his waist.

He glanced at several of Li Fei's musical instruments, then at the sweet potato rinds dropped by the three of them, and then at the skinny old horse, the guard in his eyes faded a bit.

He leaned forward slightly, and asked several people, "Whose are these musical instruments?"

Li Fei hurriedly stood up, bowed his body and apologized with a smile: "If you go back to the uncle, it's mine. I'm a singer. These are the guys I eat. They are all old things and worthless."

The big man rolled his eyes, who cares about your broken musical instruments.

Immediately ignored him, turned to look at Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, and asked, "Want to eat meat?"

Xu Fengnian immediately got up with a flattering smile, and said with an excited expression, "Think about it!"

Lao Huang also stood up cheerfully, as if meeting a kind person.

The big man said: "There is a ruined temple five miles ahead, follow me and give you meat to eat."

Xu Fengnian bowed his head and said, "Okay."

The big man glanced at the few people again, pulled the reins, and rode away.

The other knights immediately followed, with a bit of resolute taste.

Xu Fengnian shouted loudly: "Master, go slowly."

After the knights had gone far away, Li Fei said with a look of fear: "This group of people is much scarier than the gang of heroes a few days ago. Fortunately, they are not murderous gangsters without blinking an eye."

Xu Fengnian looked at the backs of the group of knights, and said thoughtfully: "There are traces of an army formation, not like ordinary horse bandits."

After speaking, he looked at Lao Huang and asked, "What do you think?"

Lao Huang persuaded earnestly: "Master, you don't know martial arts, let's go around!"

Xu Fengnian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I want to hide from you, but I want to eat meat."

He looked at Li Fei and asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you dare to eat some meat?"

Li Fei showed a little hesitation, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are going, then I will go too."

A look of admiration flashed across Xu Fengnian's eyes, he patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, let's go."

He could see that Li Fei was a little afraid of those horse bandits, which was normal, if he wasn't afraid at all, there would be a problem instead.

But although he was afraid, because he wanted to go, he didn't want to leave alone, which seemed to give up his life to accompany the gentleman.

So Xu Fengnian took a high look at Li Fei, and was very happy in his heart, and he had another friend.

Good friends like Li Fei who met by chance, he also met some along the way, but not many, each of which he is willing to cherish.

Lao Huang hurriedly followed and said, "Then I want to eat meat too."

Li Fei brought a set of musical instruments, Lao Huang carried his long box on his back, led the old horse, and followed Xu Fengnian to stride forward.

……

When they arrived at the ruined temple, the sky had already darkened. On the open space outside the ruined temple, two fat sheep were perched, and a bonfire was burning underneath, but they were roasting the whole sheep.

And around the open space, there was a group of beggars in ragged clothes holding a broken bowl in their hands.

After the three of Li Fei arrived, a horse bandit casually pointed to an open space and told them to wait there.

After the three of them sat down, Lao Huang approached Xu Fengnian and said softly, "Master, what do you think they are looking for so many beggars for?"

Xu Fengnian pondered: "I can't guess it for now."

Li Fei whispered: "There should be something we need to do."

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Let's wait and see what happens!"

As time goes by, night falls gradually, and the roasted whole lamb is slowly roasted golden and bright, and the aroma is overflowing.

After nearly two hours, the person in charge of roasting the lamb shouted, "Okay, ready to eat."

All the bandits started to move immediately, those who carried the wine carried the wine, those who prepared the dishes prepared the dishes, and the originally quiet ruined temple suddenly became noisy.

The horse bandits cut enough meat for themselves before sharing food with the beggars.

A horse bandit was holding two bowls of meat, and said loudly while pacing, "If you want to eat meat, first follow the rules and remember the name 'Xu Fengnian'."

"This person should be dressed in brocade clothes. On the way to the north, I will watch carefully. If you encounter something suspicious, report it immediately. If you really find it, there will be a big reward."

When the horse bandit walked to the side of Li Fei and the three of them, he accidentally dropped a piece of mutton. Xu Fengnian quickly picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and tore it apart.

Seeing Xu Fengnian starved to death like a reincarnated ghost, the horse bandit didn't listen carefully to what he said, kicked him on the thigh, stared and asked: "Do you understand?"

Xu Fengnian nodded repeatedly and said: "Understood, Xu Fengnian in Jinyi Huafu."

While talking, he went to pick up the bowl from the horse bandit, but the horse bandit didn't let go, but looked at Li Fei and Lao Huang, and asked, "Do you two understand?"

Li Fei hurriedly patted the suona on his waist, and said with a flattering smile: "Understood, if the situation is urgent and there is no time to report, I will blow the suona. This thing is loud, and you must be able to hear it."

"Well, very good, you are not bad." The horse bandit nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, and then handed out the bowl, and gave Li Fei a bowl alone, while Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang shared a bowl.

Xu Fengnian glanced at Li Fei speechlessly, don't you still plan to go to my place for bounty?Sell ​​me with a bowl of meat?

As soon as Xu Fengnian took the bowl, Lao Huang snatched it away.

He was about to snatch it back, but the horse bandit patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, someone wants to see you when you enter the temple."

Xu Fengnian pointed to the meat in the bowl, and then to himself, with a troubled look on his face.

He wanted to say something, but the horse bandit glared at him, and he swallowed his words again, got up with aggrieved face, and walked into the temple.

The horse bandit ignored Lao Huang and Li Fei and walked away.

Li Fei approached Lao Huang and said anxiously: "Old Huang, we have to leave quickly."

Old Huang asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Li Fei said anxiously: "Go to Lingzhou City to report! These people are obviously here for the prince, and I am still making a fortune from the reward money of the prince!"

"You and Young Master Xu will report the news with me. If you can save your son, maybe Dazhu Kingdom will give you a big reward when he is happy."

Lao Huang couldn't laugh or cry, but his face remained calm, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, the prince of Beiliang is so easy to be killed?"

Li Fei frowned and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Old Huang said: "But think about it, if we leave now and are discovered by those horse bandits, wouldn't we be dead?"

"This……"

Lao Huang patted his arm and persuaded him: "If you come here, please be safe, eat meat first, and wait for the young master to come out, let's discuss it."

Seeing this, Li Fei could only say: "Alright! Do you still have any salt?"

Lao Huang grinned, and took out a small gourd from his arms, which he used to hold salt.

Sprinkle salt on the mutton in the bowl, and Li Fei divided some into the old yellow bowl, and then began to eat deliciously.

Seeing Li Fei like this, Lao Huang also admired him greatly in his heart, and he was more pleasing to his eyes.

Of the two bowls of meat, Li Fei ate more than half a bowl, Lao Huang also ate more than half a bowl, and left more than half a bowl for Xu Fengnian.

When Xu Fengnian came back, Lao Huang had just gnawed the last lamb rib.

He seemed to be thinking about something at this moment, but he didn't pay attention, so he snatched the bone from Lao Huang's hand with his hand.

Lao Huang quickly leaned over and asked, "How do you say?"

Xu Fengnian gestured to the horse bandits, and said softly, "They all came to kill me... the prince of Beiliang."

Li Fei said nervously, "So we have to leave quickly!"

Xu Fengnian looked at him inexplicably and said, "What does it have to do with you that they came to kill the prince of Beiliang? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Old Huang suppressed his smile, told Xu Fengnian what Li Fei said just now, and pretended to ask him what to do now.

Xu Fengnian also couldn't help laughing. It turned out that this guy had this idea, but he was the one who wrongly blamed him just now.

He gave Li Fei a reassuring look, and said, "Old Huang is right, we can't rush, even if we want to leave, we have to wait until tomorrow."

"They want us to pay attention to Shizi's movements, and they will definitely send us out tomorrow. If we slip away at that time, we will be safe."

After listening to his words, Li Fei finally relaxed, and agreed: "It makes sense, let's do it this way."

Xu Fengnian smiled at him, and subconsciously put the mutton chop in his mouth, but found that he didn't get any meat after several bites.

Holding up the bare bones in front of him, he couldn't help being very depressed, and said angrily, "Why don't you eat the bowl too."

Lao Huang chuckled, and took out half a bowl of mutton with salt from his side, and said proudly: "A pinch of salt, full of aroma, and strength, specially added salt, eat slowly, it's all yours. "

Only then did Xu Fengnian turn angry into joy, took the bowl, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying vaguely, "Why are there so many left? You didn't eat much?"

Lao Huang looked at Li Fei and said with a smile, "Ah Fei also gave you some."

Xu Fengnian slapped Li Fei on the shoulder when he heard this, and said, "Good brother."

We met by chance, but we have been together for a few days, and we can share the difficulties and share the blessings, so this is it, he recognizes Li Fei as a brother.

After eating the meat, Lao Huang took two straw mats from the old horse's back and spread them out together. The three of them didn't care too much, just lay down on the straw mats and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Fei and the group of beggars were called up by the horse bandits.

Lao Huang put away the straw mat and was about to put it back on the horse, but found that the horse was gone.

"Master, we don't know where our horse has wandered."

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian turned his head and looked around, but only saw the tall horses of those horse bandits, but not his old horse.

He shouted to the bandits: "Where is my horse? Sirs? Have you seen my horse?"

A horse bandit said impatiently: "Why are you shouting? You don't even want to give your broken horse to the master. Maybe you ran out to graze."

"Now you all go out and disperse to the nearby roads. Once you find someone who looks like Xu Fengnian, report it immediately."

"If you can find Xu Fengnian, the uncle will give you a good horse."

Xu Fengnian's face was filled with depression immediately, who the hell wants your good horse, I want my own old horse.

The old horse accompanied him and Lao Huang to travel north and south, across six thousand miles of mountains and rivers. In Xu Fengnian's heart, it was no longer a livestock, but a companion.

But he also knew that the old horse knew the way. No matter how far away they were, the old horse would stroll back to them by itself.

So Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry, and immediately said to Lao Huang and Li Fei: "Let's go! Go out and do things first."

Li Fei nodded and took his musical instrument, while Lao Huang rolled up two straw mats under his armpits and left the ruined temple.

After leaving the ruined temple for some distance, Xu Fengnian relaxed.

He complacently said to Old Huang: "Those Chu soldiers also know how to bribe beggars to spread eyeliner. Fortunately, young master, I am smart."

"It's just a small trick to make them think that I am also from Chu. Last night, the leader was tricked into crying in that temple by me!"

Li Fei frowned and said, "Young Master Xu, you mean those horse bandits are the remnants of the Chu army?"

Xu Fengnian said: "Yes, they are all remaining halberd servants from Western Chu."

"Back then in Jinghe of Western Chu, 12 Western Chu eucalyptus servants fought against the Beiliang iron cavalry led by Xu Xiao, and the entire army was wiped out. They are the only ones left."

After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Li Fei said with a little dissatisfaction: "Young Master Xu, forgive me, when the nine kingdoms were divided into regimes and the kingdoms fought in chaos, so that the lives of the people were devastated, and the people were in dire straits."

"The Dazhu Kingdom led the Beiliang iron cavalry to wipe out the six countries, and only then can Liyang break through and end the chaos in the world, so that there will be peace today."

"Don't talk about Da Zhu Kingdom's achievements, just because he is older than you, he is your senior, so you shouldn't call him by his first name."

Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei in surprise, and said, "I never thought you would treat Xu Xiao like this, but everyone in the world says that Xu Xiao is a butcher who killed more than seventy cities."

Li Fei snorted coldly, and said, "The people in the world you are talking about are those sour Confucian scholars who don't understand shit and only talk about harming the country?"

"Back then, Emperor Qin swept Liuhe to end the war in the world. In order to show benevolence and righteousness, he spared the remnants of the six kingdoms. What happened?"

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed brightly, and he slowly uttered four words: "The second generation will die."

At this time, the way he looked at Li Fei changed a little, as if he didn't expect Li Fei to have such insight.

It seems that his origin is not simple. I don't know who he was before he lost his memory.

Judging from his attitude towards Xu Xiao, if he has a little talent, he can be used by Beiliang.

Li Fei sighed softly: "Yes, the second generation died, and then decades of wars followed. The people suffered from the flames of war. This is the evil result of not dying after beating a snake."

"In order to avoid the lessons learned from the pre-Qin period, Dazhu Kingdom is willing to bear the name of human slaughter. I have only respect and no hatred."

Xu Fengnian was suddenly moved. He smiled and said, "If Xu...Da Zhuguo knows that there is a person like you who understands him in this world, I think he will be very happy."

Li Fei smiled and said, "I believe that there are not many people in this world who understand Dazhu Kingdom."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said nothing more.

There may be many people who understand Xu Xiao, and even those who criticize him may not understand the benefits of what Xu Xiao does.

In the end, they were just "fearing" Xu Xiao, including the one sitting on the Ninth Five Throne.

That's why Xu Fengnian became the number one dude in the world.

Because only if he becomes an ignorant dude, that large group of people can rest assured.
