The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 257 Are You A Martial Arts Master?

After entering the house, Xu Xiao moved a stool for Xu Fengnian, and Sweet Potato helped Xu Fengnian put on his shoes.

Xu Longxiang, who had been guarding his elder brother here before, was overjoyed to see his elder brother beating his father, leaned forward and asked with a smirk, "Brother, have you calmed down?"

Xu Fengnian stood up, put his hand on his shoulder, and said softly, "Calm down."

The smirk on Xu Longxiang's face gradually subsided, a look of grievance surfaced on his cheeks, and he said with a flattened mouth: "Brother, three years is a long time!"

A look of shame flashed across Xu Xiao's eyes, Xu Fengnian hugged his younger brother and patted him on the back to show comfort.

Then he pinched his shoulder and said, "Okay, it's so late, go back to your room and rest early!"

Xu Longxiang pulled Xu Fengnian's sleeve, and said worriedly: "Brother..."

How could Xu Fengnian not understand his younger brother's thinking, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't leave, I will watch the fish tomorrow."

"En." Xu Longxiang smiled again, nodded heavily, and then turned around as if no one else was there, ready to leave.

"Wait..." Xu Fengnian stopped him, turned his head towards Xu Xiao's direction, and said softly, "Say hello."

"Oh!" It was only his words that Xu Longxiang could fully accept.

Xu Longxiang cupped his fists and bowed to Xu Xiao, saying, "Father, I'm going back to sleep."

"Well, let's go!" Xu Xiao waved helplessly.

This little son, apart from his brother, he doesn't care about anyone else in the palace, including his own father.

After dismissing Xu Longxiang, Xu Xiao looked at Li Fei and said with a smile: "Nephew, sit down! You are welcome at home."

Li Fei was stunned when he heard this, and murmured "at home" in a low voice.

Then Xu Fengnian and Sweet Potato noticed that Li Fei's eyes were slightly red, and the way he looked at Xu Xiao changed, with a little more admiration in his reverence.

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, this old thing really has a way of buying people's hearts.

However, he was very happy about Li Fei's relationship with his family, and a smile flashed in Xu Xiao's eyes.

It has to be said that Oscar owed Li Fei a statuette. With his acting skills, his micro-expressions, and his changes in eyes, all movie stars were scumbags in front of him.

After the three of them took their seats, Xu Fengnian asked, "A Fei, what's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Li Fei sorted out his emotions, and said solemnly: "Young Master Xu, when I was taking a bath just now, I recalled the experience of the past few days in the bathtub. I feel that there is something wrong with those Chu soldiers."

Xu Fengnian cheered up, nodded and said: "I just can't figure it out."

Li Fei's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh? What can't you figure out?"

Xu Fengnian said: "What I can't figure out is why those Chu veterans surrendered."

Li Fei said with relief: "So you noticed it too, it seems that I still underestimated your wisdom."

"That's right, how could your intelligence be low if you have been able to fool the world for so many years?"

The invisible flattery is the most popular.

Xu Fengnian smiled, a look of color flashed in his eyes, and then he asked seriously: "What do you think?"

Li Fei pondered and said: "Those Chu soldiers dare to chase you outside Lingzhou City to assassinate you, it means that they are not afraid of death at all."

"Because if you do it here, they won't be able to escape no matter whether you succeed or not."

"And the leader also said that after killing you, he would kill himself on the spot to repay your favor of not killing. I believe you can also see that this is definitely not a lie."

Xu Fengnian nodded, and said: "That's right, it's because they are by no means afraid of death that I can't figure out why they want to be captured without fighting instead of fighting hard."

Li Feining said: "It's very simple, because the assassination round is not over yet, they are just the first wave."

"It's gratifying to succeed. Even if it fails, they are sure. You will never escape the second wave of assassinations. They think you are dead."

"So they don't want to die here, they want to save their lives and see with their own eyes the situation where you were stabbed to death and the prince was devastated."

After listening to Li Fei's words, Xu Fengnian felt suddenly enlightened, and all the puzzles made sense.

He and Xu Xiao looked at Li Fei with more seriousness.

Leaving aside other abilities, Li Fei's wisdom, and the foresight he showed on the road, can be cultivated carefully, and he is also a military advisor.

In the original play, Xu Fengnian also went to meet the leader of the captured Chu army, and through talking with him, he slowly deduced these things.

But now Li Fei had made it clear that it didn't matter whether he saw the leader of the Chu army or not.

Sweet Potato on the side frowned slightly, and couldn't help but said: "But this is Lingzhou, the core of Beiliang. What kind of power is there in the world that can make the prince fall into a certain death situation?"

As soon as Sweet Potato finished speaking, Li Fei and Xu Fengnian said in unison: "Northern Liang Army."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Sweet Potato was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Are you saying that there are ghosts in the Beiliang Army?"

Xu Fengnian said: "That's right. Originally, those Chu soldiers didn't know my identity, but someone in the Beiliang army sent my portrait to Chu soldiers."

"So those Chu soldiers are just the beginning, and the real drama is sung by the inner ghost."

Sweet potato said: "Since that's the case, we need to torture those Chu soldiers as soon as possible to find out who is the ghost."

Li Fei waved his hands and said, "It's not necessary, those Chu soldiers didn't even think about being alive, and they can't ask anything through torture."

"Maybe they will be bitten by them indiscriminately, disturbing our sight and wasting our time."

Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei with a smile on his face and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Li Fei smiled and said: "You don't need to do anything, just wait for the opponent to make a move. What we need to do is to arrange the power to protect you."

Speaking of this, Li Fei's eyes darkened, and he continued: "I was scared by those guys at the wine stall outside the city, and I have already remembered a small part of the way of playing the 'Death Sanskrit'."

"If I can fully remember, whoever is below the first-rank grand master will come and die."

Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian, and Sweet Potato were all shocked, and they looked at Li Fei with inexplicable expressions.

Xu Fengnian knew Li Fei relatively well, and knew that he was not a braggart, so he must have a certain degree of confidence before speaking out.

Since he said so, then this mantra of Suo Ming must have that kind of power.

Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei with burning eyes, and said, "Then I'll leave it up to you, as you know, I don't like learning martial arts, but I'm still very interested in this melody."

Li Fei said without hesitation: "No problem, I will try my best to remember and try to master this trump card as soon as possible."

"In addition, I can teach you the 'Lullaby' and 'Pure Heart Pushan' first."

"Although these two songs are not capable of killing the enemy, they can be used for self-defense."

"But you have to find a secluded place to practice, otherwise, if you stop playing the song, the whole palace will fall asleep, and that would be a big joke."

Everyone smiled knowingly, and Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "I remember that this lullaby is indistinguishable from enemy to friend, and anyone who hears the flute will fall asleep."

"It stands to reason that the player who played the flute also heard the sound of the flute, so why didn't he fall asleep?"

Li Fei explained: "Because when the player plays, there is a matching method of breathing and breathing. According to this method of breathing and breathing, he himself will be immune to the hypnotic effect of the music."

Xu Fengnian was stunned, "So that's the case, what is the specific power of this lullaby?"

Li Fei thought for a while and said, "This song mainly relies on its unique tone and melody to achieve the effect of hypnosis. There are no other special features, so its power is not too great."

"Wulin masters with internal strength are more likely to resist the invasion of the flute sound, or plug their ears so that they cannot hear the flute sound, it will also not work."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Xu Xiao, and said, "I have also considered using the lullaby on the battlefield."

Xu Xiao's expression moved, he leaned forward slightly, and asked, "How? Maybe it will work?"

Li Fei said: "It won't work on the frontal battlefield, especially after the battle, people neighing and horses screaming, weapons colliding and other sounds will make people unable to sleep."

"After all, this song only makes people fall asleep, not a coma. As long as someone wakes up or is touched by someone, they will wake up, but we can change our thinking!"

"For example, when attacking the enemy's camp at night, let's prepare our soldiers and horses first, and then send a master who can play lullabies to lurk near the enemy's camp to play."

"Wait until all the soldiers and horses in the enemy's camp fall asleep, and if we fight out in one fell swoop, won't we be able to win in one battle?"

"Or when attacking the city, send masters to play a lullaby under the city wall."

"After all the defenders in the city have fallen asleep, we just need to move a little bit less. Maybe our army will climb up the city wall with long ladders, and the enemy will not know it!"

Xu Xiao slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Wonderful, wonderful! When we attacked Xiangfan and Xibiba, if we had this song to help us, why would there be so many casualties?"

Xu Xiao suddenly got up, and said: "Nephew, this lullaby, I don't know how many Beiliang's lives can be saved. This king is here to replace 35 Beiliang cavalry. Thank you, nephew."

After speaking, he cupped his fists and bowed to Li Fei.

Li Fei hurriedly got up and helped Xu Xiao up, saying: "My lord can't do this, this is what my nephew should do, I can't afford to be a lord."

Xu Xiao got up and held Li Fei's arms, he laughed and said, "It's worth it, it's worth it, this Beiliang will be handed over to Fengnian sooner or later, as his good friend and brother, you will help him a lot in the future."

Li Fei said seriously: "My lord, don't worry, my nephew will definitely spare no effort to help Young Master Xu."

Xu Fengnian on the side said lazily: "Who said I'm going to take over Beiliang? After today, I'm still the world's number one dandy who doesn't know anything except eating, drinking and having fun."

The smile on Xu Xiao's face stiffened, and Li Fei frowned.

Xu Xiao moved his stool in front of Xu Fengnian, sat down and said softly, "There's no need to wrong yourself so much, right?"

Xu Fengnian turned his body slightly, and said: "The so-called Gaoliang dude is best at drinking and drinking, so why should we be wronged?"

Xu Xiao sighed, and said: "I know, you are doing all this to hide your clumsiness. You have acted very well, but others may not believe you."

Xu Fengnian turned around and asked, "Who doesn't believe it?"

Xu Xiao confidently pointed to Li Fei next to him, and said, "Can you ask Ah Feixin?"

"..."

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Not everyone has his knowledge."

Xu Xiao raised his hand and nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about A Fei, do you remember why you were asked to travel three years ago?"

When mentioning this, Xu Fengnian was a bit more cautious, "Avoid marriage from the royal family?"

Xu Xiao said seriously: "That's right, Princess Sui Zhu is very much loved, if the royal family really believed that you are just a notorious playboy, would they still recruit you as a son-in-law?"

Xu Fengnian was speechless, and his face was a little ugly. After co-authoring for so many years, is he singing a one-man show?

I don't believe what I should believe, and I believe everything I shouldn't believe. This is so...

Seeing this, Xu Xiao persuaded earnestly: "Fengnian, you are the son of the world, the inheritance of our Beiliang iron cavalry, with your status, you cannot avoid the shadow of swords and swords."

Li Fei also moved the stool to sit next to Xu Xiao, and persuaded Xu Fengnian: "Young Master Xu, the prince is right, a man is a man, and he is born with responsibilities on his shoulders."

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you are really an ignorant dude, then you don't have to say anything."

"But you clearly have a gully hidden in your chest, and you have good plans in your belly. Even if you don't like the vortex of power, you won't have the heart to watch Beiliang's great foundation collapse like this, right?"

"Since you can't avoid it, why don't you stand up and go forward, with your Young Master Xu's brain, who else can you be afraid of?"

"If you really want to be happy and carefree, and have no intention of power, that's easy. Get married early and have a son, raise your son, and then pass the position on."

"At that time, no matter what kind of life you want to live, I promise to accompany you, play the piano and sing songs for you, and accompany you to enjoy the world. What do you think?"

Xu Xiao slapped Li Fei's shoulder with a slap, with a look of relief on his face, these words really touched his heart.

Xu Fengnian looked at Xu Xiao with a strange expression, then at Li Fei, pointed at the two with a tangled face, and said, "Why do I feel that you two are more like two fathers and sons?"

"Xu Xiao, tell me the truth, is this kid your illegitimate child?"

The sweet potato on the side pursed his mouth, and burst into a smile, but fortunately, he held back in the end and didn't laugh out loud.

Li Fei rolled his eyes speechlessly, while Xu Xiao said with a wry smile: "If I really have such an illegitimate child, I will have to wake up with a smile."

Xu Fengnian waved his hands irritably, and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'm hungry."

Xu Xiao hesitated, but he didn't say much anymore. Today's exchange was not useless, he could see that Xu Fengnian was a little shaken.

take it easy!In order for this son to carry the banner of Beiliang, he has made so many preparations.

Now that he has Li Fei as a good friend by his side, Xu Xiao's confidence has greatly increased.

Immediately got up and said cheerfully: "Okay, then let's go to eat first, I asked the kitchen to stew deer tendon for you, and fresh seafood, this phoenix egg I just picked up."

"There are also freshly steamed crystal jade dew balls. I will send them all to your house."

Xu Fengnian turned around and went to the bedroom, ready to change clothes, and said: "I want to eat sweet potatoes right now."

"Sweet... sweet potatoes?"

Xu Xiao looked at Li Fei with astonishment on his face, but he grinned and said, "I want to eat sweet potatoes too."

Xu Xiao: "..."

……

After Xu Fengnian changed his clothes, he sent the sweet potatoes back to Wutong Garden, while he walked northeast along the chaoshou corridor.

Xu Xiao and Li Fei followed behind him, making more and more detours, and finally came to the most remote house near the courtyard wall in the northeast corner.

He pushed open the door, saw the scene clearly, and shouted: "Old Huang, you are eating alone again."

It turns out that this is Lao Huang's residence.

Li Fei followed Xu Xiao into the room, and saw Lao Huang sitting cross-legged at the table, eating so much oil was dripping from his mouth.

There was a big bowl on the table, half a bowl of stewed pork was left in the bowl, and there was a big plate of peanuts beside it.

The originally happy expression on Lao Huang's face collapsed when he saw Xu Xiao.

However, he still got up and gave the main seat to Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao didn't show politeness to him, and said casually, "Bring a few bowls."

Xu Fengnian had already sat down at the table on his own, started directly, grabbed meat from the bowl and ate it, and soon stuffed his mouth full.

Sitting on the side with his back to the door, Li Fei, like Xu Fengnian, picked up a piece of stewed meat and put it in his mouth.

The old yellow face fetched three sets of bowls and chopsticks, put them in front of several people, and then moved his own bowls and chopsticks to the front.

"Hey." Xu Xiao looked at Lao Huang and tapped on the edge of his own bowl.

Lao Huang reluctantly took out a pottery wine bottle from under the table, and poured a little wine into Xu Xiao's bowl.

When Xu Xiao saw it, the faint smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He snatched the wine bottle angrily and poured himself a full bowl.

Lao Huang on the side said with a troubled face: "You pour slowly, don't spill and waste."

"Go, go... what are you doing? Taking a sip of your wine is like killing you."

While Xu Xiao complained in a strange voice, he also filled a bowl for Li Fei.

At this time, Li Fei was stuffing stewed meat with Xu Fengnian one chopstick at a time. Seeing Xu Xiao pouring wine for him, he quickly bowed to him.

Xu Fengnian chewed the meat, and said vaguely: "Hurry up, hurry up, Lao Huang is quick to move, and he won't be able to eat a piece in a while."

"Hmmm..." Li Fei nodded repeatedly, holding the meat.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao rolled up his wide sleeves, picked up his chopsticks and went to pick up the meat.

Needless to say, Lao Huang quickly attacked the braised pork in the bowl.

"Xu Xiao..."

Just as Xu Xiao picked up a piece of meat, before he had time to put it in his mouth, Xu Fengnian suddenly called out his name.

Xu Xiao paused, looked at Xu Fengnian in confusion, and only heard him say: "During the past three years of traveling, Lao Huang has been persuading me to practice martial arts, what do you mean?"

While speaking, he picked up the piece of meat on Xu Xiao's chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Facing his son's scrutinizing gaze, Xu Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say.

Xu Fengnian continued: "And we have encountered a lot of troubles in the past three years, how many of them were arranged by you?"

There was an awkward smile on Xu Xiao's face, and he said without confidence: "Most of the troubles are caused by you."

Li Fei looked at Xu Xiao with a dumbfounded smile.

most?It means that the small part was indeed arranged by him!

Xu Fengnian said noncommittally: "What do you mean? Train me?"

Xu Xiao said solemnly: "Walking thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books!"

After speaking, he raised his chopsticks to pick up the meat, but was slapped away by Xu Fengnian's chopsticks.

"Old Huang asked me to run away from Baihulian because he wanted me to face the assassination alone, and you arranged it, right?"

Lao Huang looked at Li Fei opposite, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes.

He leaned towards Xu Xiao, and said weakly: "Young master knows everything."

Xu Xiao squinted at him, and said lightly, "Shut up."

Then his face became extremely tangled again, and he tried to persuade him: "Look, you are so smart and scheming, you should be born to take over Beiliang."

Xu Fengnian said impatiently: "Don't say that's boring, eat meat."

"Oh." Xu Xiao's face returned to normal in a second, and he picked up the chopsticks and was ready to pick up the meat.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fengnian suddenly said: "Don't just eat meat, let's have a drink together!"

"Hey, hey... come..." Xu Xiao put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine bowl as if he was still talking.

Unexpectedly, Xu Fengnian didn't intend to serve the bowl at all, but instead accelerated the speed of clamping the meat, and Lao Huang did the same, the stewed meat in the bowl disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The smile on Xu Xiao's face gradually stiffened, and then slowly disappeared.

Fortunately, Li Fei still understood. He put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine bowl, touched Xu Xiao's wine bowl which was frozen on top of the table, and said, "Your Majesty."

Xu Xiao glanced at him with great relief, and walked with him for a while.

When the two of them drank the wine, the meat bowl had bottomed out, even the last piece of braised pork was torn in half by Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, and each of them ate half of it.

Xu Xiao silently reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the plate, threw them into the mouth one by one, and glanced back and forth between the two with a stinky face.

Li Fei suddenly said: "Old Huang, are you a martial arts master?"

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang paused, and Xu Xiao also turned to look at Li Fei.

Lao Huang looked left and right and laughed, "I'm just a groom, what kind of martial arts master?"

The corner of Li Fei's mouth curved slightly, and Shi Shiran said, "Really? Can you please explain why you were able to withstand the attack of my lullaby, and just recovered from a trance?"

Lao Huang just grinned stupidly, but didn't answer.

"Also, Young Master Xu and I have walked the same distance as you, and we are as tired as dead dogs, but you are still full of energy, without any sign of fatigue."

Li Fei paused when he said this, and then looked at him with a smile: "So I conclude that you have definitely learned martial arts, and you are at least a master of the third rank or above."

"Because even a third-rank master would have to be dazed for a while before he could react when he heard the lullaby, but you were just in a daze for a while."

"If I guess more boldly, maybe you are a first-rank grand master."

The room fell silent like death, Xu Fengnian turned his head and stared fixedly at the old servant who smiled innocently.
