The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 288

Early the next morning, Xu Weixiong left the city on her red snake horse with the Tianlongqin on her back and the red chi sword hanging from her waist. Li Fei and Xu Fengnian went out of the city to see them off.

Outside the city gate, next to the apricot flower wine stand, Li Fei said softly to Xu Weixiong: "Be careful on the road, take care of yourself, and Xiaonian and I will go to Shangyin Academy to see you in a few days."

Xu Weixiong smiled and nodded at him, then looked at Xu Fengnian, and said: "I can rest assured that Ah Fei will protect you along the way."

"Do well, the future of Beiliang is in your hands, don't let me and dad down."

Xu Fengnian's eyes were red, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, sister, I will become a qualified king of Beiliang as soon as possible, and take you and my eldest sister Huang Man'er home."

"When the time comes, our family will be together happily and never be separated again."

Xu Weixiong's eyes were full of relief, his brother had finally grown up.

Satisfied, she urged the horse away, and only slowed down after running for several miles.

The probe took out a painting scroll from the bundle on the horse's back, and she opened it and looked at it dazedly, with a gentle smile on her face.

What is painted on the scroll is a pair of men and women cuddling together.

The man is Li Fei, and the woman is her.

One is handsome and elegant, and the other is arrogant and radiant.

This portrait is painted extremely vividly, and the painting technique is also very peculiar.

Not only are the portraits [-]% similar to people, but they also look more realistic.

This is the portrait painted by Li Fei yesterday, using the three-dimensional painting method.

And in the blank space on the left side of the portrait, there is also a poem: Last night the stars and last night wind, listen to the East of Bieyuan by Chaohu Lake.The body has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings, but the heart has a tacit understanding.

"Minds think alike."

Xu Weixiong chanted softly, his heart almost melted.

She feels that this is the most beautiful love, the most perfect state between couples.

With you in this life, what can I ask for.

……

After Xu Weixiong left, Xu Fengnian practiced more attentively, and his martial arts progressed very quickly.

Not only did he quickly master the sword skills, and then enter the room, but his control ability also improved a lot.

From the very beginning, he kept condensing and compressing the saber energy, making the cut into the ground deeper and deeper, and now he is moving from deep to shallow, constantly moving towards the direction of fine control, and firmly advancing.

When immersed in cultivation, time always passes extremely fast.

The first month has passed without knowing it, and when the spring comes, Xu Fengnian's second trip to the rivers and lakes finally arrives.

On the second day of February, the Palace began to get busy early in the morning, preparing for His Royal Highness's trip.

Of course, it's the servants who are busy, and it has nothing to do with Xu Fengnian, the real master.

When he and Li Fei packed their belongings and arrived at the gate, the team was already ready to go.

At this time, Xu Fengnian was wearing two swords of Xiudong Chunlei on his left waist, and his jade flute on his right waist.

Li Fei is still dressed in a blue gown, with a Deli sword stuck in his left waist and a jade flute pinned to his right waist, equally chic and unrestrained.

Tianlongqin has been taken away by Xu Weixiong, and his piano is indeed too old.

Xu Xiao knew that the qin was not just a musical instrument to Li Fei, and the Qingxin Pushan music was very important to Xu Fengnian.

So he took a high-quality violin from the mansion and asked Qingniao to put it on the carriage for standby.

Li Fei and Xu Fengnian walked side by side to the gate of the palace, where Xu Xiao was already waiting.

Seeing the two people coming, a smile appeared on an old face.

Li Fei said respectfully, "Uncle."

After all, he is the future father-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with being respectful.

"Hey, look at you, you are still so polite." Xu Xiao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "This trip, nephew, you need to worry a lot."

Li Fei smiled and said: "Little nephew is polite, uncle is polite, it's all right to worry about your brothers!"

"Hehehe..." Xu Xiao said with a smile: "It's true, they are all a family, my words are a bit redundant."

After exchanging pleasantries with Li Fei, Xu Xiao led the two of them down the steps.

He pointed to Ning Emei, who was standing next to a war horse, holding an iron halberd with divination characters in his hand, and said to Xu Fengnian: "According to your request, Ning Emei will lead a hundred Fengzi battalion cavalry to accompany you. to them."

After speaking, he pointed to the blue bird next to a carriage, and continued: "The blue bird will drive the carriage for you."

Changed into the short outfit again, with long hair coiled up, the clean-looking, heroic blue bird silently saluted Xu Fengnian, and then got into the seat of the carriage.

This time only the blue bird accompanied her, but the sweet potato did not. Xu Xiao had other arrangements for her.

Li Fei estimated that it should be about the plan in Dunhuang City of Beimang.

The three of them walked around the first carriage, several war horses stood between the two carriages, Shu Yu and Wei Shuyang each stood beside a horse.

Wei Shuyang doesn't need any more introductions, Xu Fengnian is already very familiar, Xu Xiao pointed to Shu Shame and said, "Her name is Shu Shame, you've all met her before."

"She is familiar with all kinds of ways in the rivers and lakes. If you encounter any special circumstances, you can ask her."

After Xu Xiao's voice fell, Shu shame cast a wink at Xu Fengnian, and said, "You can ask me anything!"

The corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched, showing an awkward smile, and nodded slightly to her.

Li Fei looked at her with a smile, and imitated her tone and said: "Your Majesty is very human, flirting with her is risky, and you need to be cautious when hooking up!"

When Shu Shu heard this, she was startled, and she saw that the smile on Xu Xiao's face disappeared, and she looked at her expressionlessly.

Her face turned pale, and she quickly lowered her head humblely, pretending to turn around to arrange the salute on the horse, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Xu Fengnian glanced at Li Fei amusedly, then pointed to the second carriage, and asked, "Why is there no one in that carriage?"

A smile appeared on Xu Xiao's face again, and he said, "The coachman will be here in a while."

Xu Fengnian walked over to take a look, and saw Yu Youwei holding the white cat Wu Meiniang in the carriage.

He pointed at her in amazement and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yu Youwei gently stroked Wu Meiniang, and said as a matter of course, "I will go wherever Jiang Ni goes."

Xu Fengnian frowned and said: "I don't know why, Jiang Ni doesn't go with me."

After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and ran to the first carriage, and looked into the carriage.

He didn't see Jiang Ni, but there was a thin old man with white hair, a broken arm and wearing a sheepskin fur, sitting in the car, picking his nostrils and looking at him lazily.

Xu Fengnian pointed at him and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are..."

He felt that the old man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Li Fei on the side leaned over pretending to be curious, and said, "Who is it?"

The moment Li Fei appeared in front of the carriage, the old man stopped picking his nostrils and stared at Li Fei, his laziness disappeared without a trace, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Xu Xiao was also looking at this side intently at this time, wondering if Li Fei could see the truth of the old man.

Seeing that Li Fei asked Xu Fengnian in a little surprise: "What is this old man doing? Do you have something?"

Xu Fengnian asked in confusion, "What happened to him?"

Li Fei sighed in admiration: "His realm in the way of swordsmanship is extremely high, which is the only one I have seen so far."

Xu Fengnian looked the old man up and down, he couldn't believe it, "You said he has a very high level of swordsmanship? How high is it?"

Li Fei looked at the old man and said with a smile: "There is no sword in his hand, but he has a sword in his heart. Even his whole body is a peerless sword."

"This is the realm of the top land sword fairy, but in the way of swordsmanship, he still has an exclusive title for this situation, called 'Human Sword', and above that is 'Heavenly Sword'."

"It's just that his human sword has cracks, and it is no longer in the land sword fairyland. It first fell to Zhixuan, and then entered the sky."

"Unless he can repair this rift, break through and stand up again, perhaps return to the peak, or even go one step further, to reach the realm of 'Heavenly Sword', otherwise this will be the case in this life."

Xu Fengnian seemed to understand but half understood, a little confused, it didn't mean that he was stupid, but that his knowledge in martial arts was still too shallow, and he had just started.

Xu Xiao over there secretly admired it. Although he didn't know much about the sword and sword, Li Fei said that the score was not bad about the old man's condition.

The old man in sheepskin fur also showed admiration on his face, and said, "As expected of Mr. Spirit Sword, even if he lost his memory, he still hasn't lost his vision."

Li Fei's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "You know me?"

The old man obviously didn't want to say more, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Fei was stunned, "Then how do you know my previous name?"

The old man blinked and said, "Listen to what Xu Xiao said."

"..."

Li Fei rolled his eyes, turned and walked away angrily.

Xu Fengnian glanced at the old man suspiciously, but saw him roll his eyelids and turn his head to look out the car window, and walked back to Xu Xiao with his lips curled.

Who is a sword, and a swordsman is almost the same.

He turned his back to the carriage, looked at Xu Xiao, stretched his thumb behind his shoulder, and asked, "Who is this old man?"

Xu Xiao leaned slightly, and said softly: "The big devil under the listening tide pavilion."

Xu Fengnian asked: "What is the origin? There must be a name, right?"

Xu Xiao smiled and said: "As long as he is willing, he will tell you. Don't worry, with Ah Fei around, he will definitely protect you. The old man is a small insurance."

While talking, Jiang Ni ran out of the door with a bundle on her back, with a long cloth bag slung across her back, which should have contained her wooden sword.

But she didn't bring the iron sword, because it belonged to Beiliang Prince's Mansion and didn't belong to her.

All the things that belonged to her, except the clothes on her body, were all bought with the money she earned from Xu Fengnian, which belonged to Jiang Ni's stubbornness.

She asked enthusiastically, "Which car should I take?"

After being a canary in the palace for so many years, she finally had the opportunity to get out of here. Even though she knew that the future of this trip was uncertain and life and death were unpredictable, she was still elated.

Xu Xiao pointed to the driveway of the old man in sheepskin fur: "This way."

Xu Fengnian stared at Xu Xiao, pointed at Jiang Ni and said, "You arranged it?"

Xu Xiao said calmly: "Yes!"

Xu Fengnian said anxiously: "What use is ginger mud when I walk in the rivers and lakes?"

Xu Xiao spread his hands and said, "There must be someone on your way to take care of the house for you, right?"

Xu Fengnian was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, "There are so many maids, why did you choose Jiang Ni?"

"Uh... this, this..." Xu Xiao really didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Fei defended Jiang Ni and said: "What's wrong with Jiang Ni? Jiang Ni is very interesting, and she will not be boring on this journey. I think Jiang Ni is good to follow."

"No, you..." Xu Fengnian looked at Li Fei with a confused face, not knowing what to say.

This motherfucker is going on a dangerous road full of thorns and sharp knives, not for a spring outing, big brother.

At this moment, a man dressed as a guest of the royal residence walked to the second carriage with an exquisite sword on his back.

Xu Xiao hurriedly pointed at that person and said, "Hey, your other coachman is here, Jujian, Lu Qiantang."

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Xu Fengnian almost laughed out of anger.

He pointed to Xu Xiao, and then to Nalu Qiantang.

Then he strode towards Lu Qiantang, yelling as he walked, "Damn you Lu Qiantang, aren't you the one who assassinated me, Lin Tanhua?"

Lu Qiantang was lifeless, he clasped his fists at Xu Fengnian with a dull face, and said, "I met the prince in Xia Lu Qiantang."

Xu Fengnian said angrily, "You haven't even changed your voice, yet you're still lying to me?"

Lu Qiantang still clasped his fists expressionlessly and said, "I met the prince at Xia Lu Qiantang."

"..."

Xu Fengnian was at a loss, he suddenly turned around and walked back to Xu Xiao, and asked feebly, "Which one is this?"

Xu Xiao said seriously: "The first stop of your trip is Qingzhou. The Lin family in Qingzhou has been cornered by King Jing'an. It will be beneficial and harmless to have him accompany you."

Xu Fengnian calmed down, looked back at Lu Qiantang, and said, "So you forced him to bow his head?"

Xu Xiao said: "If he wants to save the Lin family, he has to bow his head."

Xu Fengnian said: "How much did you arrange?"

Xu Xiao said: "That's all. After you leave, I will go to the capital. Dad is in the court, and you are in the rivers and lakes. Only when we, father and son, work together can we preserve the hereditary inheritance of Northern Liang."

Xu Fengnian nodded slowly thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao smiled, punched him in the chest, and said, "Be careful along the way, let's go!"

After speaking, he walked back to the steps and turned to look at the convoy.

Xu Fengnian and Li Fei looked at each other, and then got on their horses.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or Xu Xiao's special arrangement. The horses that Shu Shu, Wei Shuyang, and Ning Emei rode, as well as the horses that pulled the cart, were all chestnut in color. Only Xu Fengnian and Li Fei rode two white horses.

These two white horses are especially handsome, with no trace of variegation in their bodies, their fur is so white that they shine, their heads are held high, and their momentum is majestic.

After getting on the horse, Xu Fengnian looked back at Xu Xiao, and finally asked, "How many plans do you have on this journey?"

At this moment, Xu Xiao's smile was like the rising sun.

He spread his arms, and said with a heroic spirit: "Walking on the road, you will have your own future."

Xu Fengnian took another deep look at Xu Xiao, then turned around and shouted loudly: "Let's go."

In the seventh year of Qianyuan in the Liyang Dynasty, the dragon raised its head on the second day of the second month. Xu Fengnian, son of Beiliang, and Li Fei, son of Lingjian, rode out of Beiliang on a white horse.

……

Perhaps it was because of Li Fei's remarks outside Lingzhou City a few years ago. In the original plot, the Tiefutu blocked the way, and the incident of Chen Zhibao's "white clothes seeing him off" did not happen.

After going out of the city for more than ten miles, under Xu Fengnian's order, the iron cavalry of the Hundred Phoenix Battalion drew a distance from the carriage and hung at a distance. Ning Emei rode his horse to Xu Fengnian's side alone.

At this time Xu Fengnian was in the middle, Li Fei was on the left, Ning Emei was on the right, and the three riders rode side by side, Shu Shuo and Wei Shuyang followed closely behind, and behind them were the carriages driven by Qingniao and Lu Qiantang.

Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at Ning Emei, then turned around and said, "I thought you would leave me alone as soon as you left Lingzhou, and went straight to Longhu Mountain!"

Ning Emei was silent for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "I have thought about what Mr. Li said back then."

"He's right. You and the young prince are brothers. What I did before will hurt your brotherhood."

"I have always admired the little prince, but I have to admit that he is not suitable to run Beiliang."

"If you can let me see your ability, no matter who of your brothers takes over Beiliang in the future, Ning Emei will swear allegiance to the death."

After listening to Ning Emei's words, Xu Fengnian and Li Fei looked at each other with a smile, and said loudly: "General Ning will see."

It seems that what Li Fei said at the beginning had a great influence on Ning Emei.

Although he can't be said to have completely returned to his heart now, at least he won't reject Xu Fengnian anymore.

He is willing to give Xu Fengnian and himself a chance, which is a good sign.

Because they were accompanied by Beiliang's iron cavalry, they could not travel as they did when they were alone in the rivers and lakes. They could go however they wanted, and they had to follow the art of war.

After leaving the city, he only walked more than [-] miles, and came to the river beach where he and Huang Lifei roasted sweet potatoes and encountered the veterans of Western Chu. Xu Fengnian ordered to set up camp.

It is clearly written in "Sirius Bingjian·March Chapter": the way of marching is that there is no violation of the festival of advance and stop, no loss of proper diet, and no unparalleled strength of men and horses.

Therefore, all soldiers marching on the road should rest neatly for ten miles, dry food for thirty miles, and board and lodging for sixty miles.

It means that the key to marching is to maintain a reasonable speed, ensure that the soldiers have a moderate diet, and maintain sufficient physical strength of the troops.

If there were no special circumstances on the way, the cavalry would never gallop on their horses, not even trot, they would walk slowly.

Marching sixty miles a day, it is necessary to let the soldiers eat and sleep to ensure that the manpower and horsepower are at their peak.

In other words, the marching distance is "military time".

When to eat and when to rest are determined by how many miles you walk, not how long you walk.

Xu Fengnian never knew this kind of knowledge before, but after studying "Sirian Wolf Soldiers", he dare not say that he can become a famous general, but at least he is already a qualified general.

……

Xu Fengnian stood silently by the river beach tens of feet away from the camp.

Looking at the endlessly flowing river, the scenes that happened during the three years of travel kept flashing in my mind.

Li Fei came over, stood beside him, and said softly, "Thinking about Huang again?"

Xu Fengnian looked at the river with absent-minded eyes, and sighed softly: "Old Huang came to the palace when I was very young, and I am used to having him by my side."

"When he decided to go to Wudi City, I already understood that he... has long been an indispensable family member for me, family..."

Li Fei nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, he will come back, he will."

Xu Fengnian suddenly looked at Li Fei, and asked softly: "A Fei, is there really such an ability as 'rebirth from a drop of blood' in this world? Or is it just you..."

Li Fei smiled and shook his head, and said, "Do you suspect that this is a nonsense I made up to comfort you?"

Xu Fengnian was silent, Li Fei said helplessly when he saw this, "Since that's the case, then I'll let you see it!"
