Chapter 265
On the streets of Lingzhou, Xu Fengnian and the others walked side by side.

Jiang Ni suddenly turned to look at Xu Fengnian, and asked, "He didn't know you were Xu Fengnian?"

Xu Fengnian smiled lightly, and said: "He is old Xu Tou, and I am Xu boy, that's good."

Jiang Ni said: "He lived and died for your Xu family, but now he has ended up in such a field, you owe him."

Xu Fengqing sighed young, and said: "Yes, the Xu family owes him and 'them', so we can only return them a peaceful and prosperous life."

Jiang Ni said: "Why didn't you tell him that you are the son of Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian said slowly: "There are so many people living well in this world because they are dead, injured, and disabled."

"So my status as a son of the world is nothing in front of them. I am just a bastard."

Jiang Ni was silent, and Li Fei praised: "You understand it. As a member of a high-ranking family, it is really rare to have such an understanding."

Xu Fengnian is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he never feels that he is superior because of his status as the eldest son.

He clearly knows how he got everything he enjoys today.

Such a person can deal with it.

After hearing Li Fei's words, Xu Fengnian just smiled and didn't say any more.

He really lived clearly, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was still reluctant to take over Beiliang.

……

The group of four returned to the palace, but saw a carriage parked outside the door.

Beside the carriage, a young man in a light blue cloak stood still with his eyes closed.

There is also a glamorous and charming woman, pacing back and forth in front of the gate.

Seeing this, Li Fei feigned surprise and said, "Hey, isn't this Tanhualang? What are you doing?"

Lin Tanhua heard his voice, turned her head in surprise, and immediately recognized Li Fei.

He was very impressed with Li Fei, especially the suona on his waist.

Miss Fan walked down the stone steps in front of the door quickly, and said to Lin Tanhua, "They took away the old man who caused trouble before."

Lin Tanhua nodded, clasped his fists at the two, and said, "Thank you, brother, for making the rescue."

Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "Lin Tanhua is here...what are you waiting for?"

Lin Tanhua said indifferently: "Please visit the Prince of Beiliang."

Li Fei said in surprise: "Could it be that Tan Hua didn't enjoy scolding in the street, and planned to scold the Prince of Beiliang face to face?"

Lin Tanhua swung his arms and put them behind his back, straightening his chest, with a proud and proud expression, his attitude was very clear.

Seeing this, Li Fei clasped his fists and smiled, "Tanhua has a righteous heart, is fearless, and I admire you."

Jiang Ni also echoed excitedly: "I admire it."

Seeing the reaction of the two guys, Xu Fengnian couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

But he didn't show anything unusual, he just asked Lin Tanhua, "Why don't you go in?"

Miss Fan on the side snorted coldly, looked at the door and said indignantly: "The Xu family is rude, what kind of hospitality do you know?"

Xu Fengnian let out an "Oh" and ran to the gate, Li Fei and the three followed by themselves.

"Open the door." Xu Fengnian ran to the door and shouted without knocking.

Miss Fan said softly: "Travelers and famous assassins are not welcome, what's the use of them calling the door like that?"

Lin Tanhua shook her head with a broken smile, and closed her eyes again, thinking that the other party was ignorant.

"Grand"

However, the next moment, the door opened.

Xu Fengnian looked back at Lin Tanhua and Miss Fan, and waved with a smile: "Come on, come in!"

Lin Tanhua had already opened his eyes when he heard the door knock, and when he saw Xu Fengnian's movements, his expression gradually became bewildered.

They waited here for a few hours, and even showed their provocateurs, but no one paid any attention to them. As a result, the door opened when this person called casually.

Who are they?

He exchanged glances with Miss Fan who was equally astonished, and then subconsciously followed.

Lao Huang waited by the door, waited for Lin Tanhua and Miss Fan to enter the door, and then followed behind them.

This old boy didn't stop to look at Miss Fan, his eyes especially lingered on the back of her, which seemed a bit wretched.

When Miss Fan entered the door, she felt that Lao Huang was looking at her in the wrong way. After turning her head frequently, she naturally noticed his gaze.

She frowned and asked, "What do you see me doing?"

Old Huang smiled wretchedly and said, "It's pretty, and it's good to be fertile."

"Chong"

When Miss Fan heard this, she was immediately annoyed, she grabbed the hilt and pulled out half of the sword.

"Old Huang."

Xu Fengnian yelled, Lao Huang hurriedly walked around Miss Fan, and moved to Xu Fengnian's side, and Miss Fan sheathed her sword angrily.

Xu Fengnian turned sideways slightly, and said in a soft voice, "You've seen me as a matchmaker for you!"

Lao Huang glanced at Miss Fan again, and said shyly, "I guess you can't tell."

"Shameless." Jiang Ni said with contempt on his face.

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you scolding Lao Huang?"

Jiang Ni stared at him and said, "I'm talking about you."

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, took out his purse, took out a few copper coins and threw them to Jiang Ni, saying: "Go to Qingniao and ask her to wait for me by the lake."

"Don't go."

"I have collected all the money, so don't pay me back."

Jiang Ni looked at him, and ground her teeth, but she was still reluctant to part with the few pennies, so she turned and ran towards Wutong Garden.

Lin Tanhua was skeptical at first that the person in front of him was the Prince of Beiliang, but seeing the scene in front of him, he gave up this idea.

If he was really Xu Fengnian, would he have to pay a maid to do something?And that maid looks reluctant, isn't that ridiculous?

Moreover, seeing the attitudes of Li Fei and Jiang Ni just now, it seems that they don't have any respect for Xu Fengnian, but admire themselves very much, so it is even more impossible to have something to do with Xu Fengnian.

So he took a few steps forward, walked to Jiang Ni's position, and asked Xu Fengnian and Li Fei who was beside him: "Are you two from the palace?"

Xu Fengnian said: "That's right!"

Lin Tanhua said with a worried face: "Seeing that you two have also read books, you know that I am Li Yangchao, who is the number one devil?"

Xu Fengnian blurted out without hesitation: "Xu Xiao."

Lin Tanhua was a little taken aback by his natural attitude.

He asked in bewilderment: "Since you know Xu Xiao's crime, why bother to do it?"

Xu Fengnian walked slowly along the Chaoshou verandah, and casually said: "It's not considered effective, the main reason is that my father lives here, and I can't help it."

Li Fei said solemnly: "I'm just a little musician Qingke, and Lao Huang is a groom. We're just making a living in this palace. We're not qualified to work for anything!"

After hearing this, Lin Tanhua said solemnly: "Since both of you have a skill, where can't you live, why do you have to stoop to be a thief?"

Li Fei scratched his cheek, pointed at Xu Fengnian embarrassingly, and said: "No way, the palace treats you well. My brother's father can talk a little bit in the palace, and he usually takes good care of us."

Lin Tanhua looked at Xu Fengnian again, and asked, "Is your father an aide of the Xu family?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "I don't have that ability."

"The nursing home in the mansion?"

"I have bad legs and feet, so I can't protect the hospital."

"That……"

Miss Fan behind him interjected, "Maybe it's the butler."

"Oh..." Lin Tanhua was stunned, nodded and continued: "Since you two are always in the mansion, have you ever met your eldest son Xu Fengnian?"

Xu Fengnian said nonchalantly, "I see you often!"

Lin Tanhua asked, "Then what do you think of him?"

Xu Fengnian pondered for a while, with a look of distaste on his face, he said, "It's not that good, I'm a bit of a jerk."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tanhua immediately burst into a smile, and looked at Xu Fengnian, full of appreciation.

He slapped Xu Fengnian on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that you are in a dangerous situation, but you dare to speak out."

"When I leave the Yang Dynasty, I need young people with lofty ideals like you, so that I have hope."

Xu Fengnian clasped his fists together and said repeatedly: "Don't dare to act, dare not act."

"Brother, please count in detail how Xu Fengnian was greedy, lustful, sinister and vicious."

"This Xu Fengnian..."

Looking at Lin Tanhua, who was chatting happily with Xu Fengnian all of a sudden, a look of pity appeared in Li Fei's eyes.

This guy has had the word "tragedy" written all over his forehead since his appearance.

Is he a bad guy?
It doesn't count, it's just an angry youth who doesn't know the so-called.

His cognition was instilled by others, coupled with his overwhelming sense of justice, he ended up becoming someone else's pawn in such a muddle, but he still didn't know it.

……

Because he promised Xu Xiao to see through but not to tell the truth, Li Fei did not intervene in the subsequent plot, allowing Xu Fengnian to operate fiercely like a tiger, and let Miss Fan and Lin Tanhua assassinate him one after another.

This move not only tested Qingniao's identity as a dead man, but also allowed Xu Fengnian to figure out the ins and outs of the entire assassination and who was behind the scenes.

King Jing'an, Zhao Heng, was thousands of miles away, yet he had set up this interlocking situation.

His goal from the very beginning was for Lin Tanhua's assassination of Xu Fengnian, and all his planning and foreshadowing were centered around this matter.

The Lin family holds the financial power in Qingzhou, and is also the emperor's eyes and ears in Qingzhou to monitor Zhao Heng, so Zhao Heng wants to get rid of the Lin family and completely control the entire Qingzhou.

With the foreshadowing of the previous two assassinations, once Lin Tanhua took action, the charge of colluding with the subjugated traitors was completely confirmed, even if he jumped into Chunshen Lake, he couldn't clear it up.

If it was just his own private behavior, at most he would suffer the disaster alone.

But once he gets involved with the subjugated traitors, the nature is very different. It is called treason, and it is a serious crime of copying the family and exterminating the family. The Lin family is completely over.

It's a pity that Zhao Heng never dreamed that the Wang family he relied on as his confidant, taking over the Lin family's control of Qingzhou's financial power, was Xu Xiao's pawn in Qingzhou, Xu Xiao's old subordinate from the Northern Liang Army.

Miss Fan is also from Xu Xiao. Her real name is Shu Shame, and she is a second-rank junior master.

She appeared next to Lin Tanhua, so it was Xu Xiao's handwriting.

One is to play a role in fueling the flames, making Lin Tanhua make up his mind to assassinate Xu Fengnian.

The other one is as a "tainted witness", as an accomplice, to testify against Lin Tanhua's collusion with the subjugated traitors.

Xu Xiao's game in the middle of the game made Zhao Heng make a wedding dress for Beiliang in all his plans.

Chu State veterans, Chu Lushan, Yu Youwei, and even Xu Fengnian himself are all pawns in this game.

……

Lao Huang's residence.

Li Fei looked at Lao Huang who was frowning and was wiping the water stains on the wooden box with a cotton cloth at this moment, and sighed secretly in his heart.

Although he already knew that Lao Huang was a peerless swordsman.

But he was used to his simple and cheerful appearance, and suddenly became so dignified, which made Li Fei quite uncomfortable.

Just now, in order to attract Lin Tanhua, Xu Fengnian deliberately rowed a boat and took him to the lake, and with the help of the old leader Chu Kuangnu at the bottom of the lake, he restrained Lin Tanhua.

Don't look at Lin Tanhua as just a scholar, but he also practiced swords since he was a child, and his martial arts foundation is not weak.

If it weren't for Chu Kuangnu's help, it would be impossible for him to escape Lin Tanhua's assassination by himself.

That is, when diving, Xu Fengnian discovered the wooden box that Lao Huang had thrown away, and fished it out for him again.

Sitting across from Lao Huang, Li Fei suddenly said, "Old Huang, you have weapons in this box, right?"

Lao Huang smiled and said, "It's a weapon."

Li Fei said: "You threw your own weapon into the lake before, did you intend to completely cut it off?"

Lao Huang sighed, and said: "I have this idea, who would have thought that the young master fished it out again, this is God's will!"

The two chatted one after another, and after a while Xu Fengnian suddenly opened the door and walked in with a complicated expression.

"You're not in the courtyard, as soon as I guessed you came to Lao Huang's place."

Li Fei looked at him with a smile and said, "What's the situation? Why do you look so troubled?"

Xu Fengnian sat down at the table, and said in a depressed mood: "Xu Xiao asked me to make a choice, either kill Ning Emei, or... send Huang Man'er out of Beiliang."

After hearing what he said, Li Fei said with no change in his face: "As expected, if you want to ensure that there is no civil strife in Beiliang, you will have to face this choice sooner or later."

Xu Fengnian frowned, stared at him and said, "Is there no third choice?"

Li Fei said seriously: "Yes."

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed, he leaned forward slightly, and said, "Tell me."

Li Fei said: "It's very simple. You forcefully subdue generals like Ning Emei who support the young prince, and let all the Beiliang army see your talent and completely convince them."

Xu Fengnian was short of breath, rolled his eyes angrily, sat up straight and said, "Nonsense, if I can do this, nothing will happen."

Li Fei asked back, "Why can't you do it?"

"Because..." Xu Fengnian fell silent as soon as he said two words. He couldn't say some words, but he already had a trace of regret in his heart.

But Li Fei said: "If you can't say it, I will say it for you, because you chose to escape from the beginning, so you wasted at least ten years."

"Now that the evil consequences of escaping are beginning to appear, it's too late for you to face it, right?"

Xu Fengnian said shyly, "What's the use of talking about this now?"

Li Fei said in a deep voice: "It's useful. As long as you have the heart, it's never too late to start. Even if you want to send the little prince away, it's only temporary."

"In fact, there are not so many reasons in this world. Whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak. This is an eternal truth."

Xu Fengnian lost his mind and said, "I really... can I?"

Li Fei frowned, and said, "Maybe you don't know it yourself, you look lazy, but you actually have a toughness and ruthlessness in your bones."

"As long as you make up your mind to do something, you can do it."

Xu Fengnian smiled wryly, "You have so much confidence in me!"

Li Fei smiled and said: "It's not just me, you can ask Lao Huang if he has confidence."

Xu Fengnian looked at Lao Huang, but he grinned and said, "I have always had confidence in the young master."

Seeing this, Xu Fengnian's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Then try it!"

Li Fei said happily: "Okay, starting tomorrow, let's practice "Spiritual Journey Thousand Miles" together in addition to practicing life-threatening Sanskrit. This is a good way to lay the foundation."

Xu Fengnian said happily: "With you practicing with me, I believe it will be easier for me to persevere."

No matter what you do, having a partner is always better than being alone.

Old Huang said with relief: "Master, I have been thinking about what we have experienced in our three years of traveling. Old Huang...is useless, but I also want to help Young Master."

Xu Fengnian felt warm in his heart, looked at him and said softly: "It is enough to have this heart."

Lao Huang smiled and said, "Young Master, you know the old man at the bottom of the lake, right?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Of course I know, Lin Tanhua was taken down with his help!"

Old Huang said: "Has the young master ever thought about releasing Lao Kui?"

Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "I tried it when I was young, and his chain can't be broken at all."

"Then young master, you are lacking one..." Lao Huang compared his hand with a knife, and continued: "What a good knife!"

Li Fei on the side said, "A good knife? Isn't Nangong's Spring Thunder supposed to be razor-sharp and unparalleled in sharpness?"

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, it makes sense!

……

Listening to Chaohu, Li Fei and Lao Huang sat cross-legged side by side.

There was his wooden box standing beside Lao Huang, and Li Fei was holding his suona in his hand, as if he was ready for battle.

Not long after, Xu Fengnian invited Nangong servant out from the Tide Tide Pavilion.

"Old Huang, tell her about the old man at the bottom of the lake."

"Oh!" Lao Huang responded, slapped his hands like a gavel, and then said in the tone of a storyteller: "It is said that this person at the bottom of the lake is entangled by four meteorite iron chains and cannot be free."

"If anyone can cut off the iron chain with his own hands and help him leave, then he will be able to subdue the...people at the bottom of this lake."

Nangong Pushe looked at Lao Huang and blinked his eyes, then looked at Xu Fengnian, and asked with a strange expression: "Do you believe this too?"

Xu Fengnian actually has no idea, but he absolutely trusts Lao Huang. He believes that no matter what Lao Huang does, it must be for his own good and will never harm him.

So he shrugged and said, "Try it."

Nangong Pu shot: "Are there not enough people around you?"

Xu Fengnian looked a little lonely and said: "Some things, people from Beiliang Palace may not help me."

So from now on, he has to start cultivating his own team and have a group of partners who are only on his side.

Noticing Xu Fengnian's expression, Nangong Pushe's eyes flashed with sympathy. It seems that he, the son of Beiliang, can't do whatever he wants.

She didn't say any more, she reached out and pulled out Chunlei from her waist, and threw it towards Xu Fengnian who was at the side, Xu Fengnian took a big step back in fright.

"Chong"

Chunlei's dagger slanted across Xu Fengnian's crotch, landed on the ground, and penetrated into the thick wooden floor.

Xu Fenghou said in fear: "How can you throw a knife like this with someone who doesn't know martial arts? What if I have no descendants?"
