The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 255 bluff
In the middle of the night, Lao Huang, who was sitting by the campfire with his head down and dozing, suddenly raised his head and turned to look at Nangong Pushe.

Seeing her hugging her double knives, sitting under a dead tree and falling asleep, she immediately felt relieved.

Xu Fengnian and Li Fei were lying on the straw mat and sleeping soundly.

Lao Huang picked up a piece of firewood and knocked Xu Fengnian and Li Fei on their stomachs.

Xu Fengnian sat up in a jerk, and was about to speak, but saw Lao Huang put a finger on his lips, and quickly stopped talking.

Xu Fengnian made a big movement to get up, and being knocked by Lao Huang, Li Fei also woke up very "reasonably".

The two saw Lao Huang pointing at them, pointing at himself, and then made a walking motion with his middle and index fingers.

Xu Fengnian and Li Fei looked at each other, confused.

They understood what Lao Huang meant, but what they didn't understand was why they sneaked away now.

But seeing Lao Huang's serious expression, the two didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Fengnian got up and rolled up the straw mat, Li Fei brought his instruments one by one, and Lao Huang went to lead the horse.

The three of them all paid attention to Nangong Pushe, and seeing that she had no response, they walked away from her.

After leaving a certain distance, Xu Fengnian asked, "Old Huang, what the hell are you doing?"

Old Huang said solemnly: "We have to rush back to Lingzhou overnight."

Li Fei asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Lao Huang turned his head to look at Nangong Pushe again, and said fearfully: "People's hearts are unpredictable."

Xu Fengnian frowned and said: "If she wants to kill me, one knife is enough, and she saved me just now!"

Li Fei echoed: "Yes, if she wants Young Master Xu's life, wouldn't it be fine if she didn't catch the throwing knife just now?"

"I don't think this white fox face looks like a bad person. Otherwise, with her cold and arrogant temperament, she wouldn't take the initiative to introduce her double swords because of Xu Shaoren's righteousness."

Lao Huang shook his head, and explained to Xu Fengnian: "I'm afraid it's not you who she wants to kill."

Xu Fengnian was startled, and a cautious expression appeared on his face, "You mean, she might want to sneak into the palace to kill Xu Xiao?"

Lao Huang nodded and said, "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years."

Li Fei also had a look of understanding, and agreed: "Old Huang is right when he said that. It is about the safety of Dazhu Kingdom. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."

"If it's really just our carelessness, I'm sorry for her. If we find out her background in the future, there will always be a chance to make up for it."

Lao Huang raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, affirming his words.

After Xu Fengnian listened to what the two said, he stopped arguing, and he acquiesced to Lao Huang's arrangement.

He looked back at Nangong Pushe again, and asked in bewilderment: "Isn't her martial arts quite high? Why can't she find out when we leave?"

Old Huang said with a sly smile: "Last time, in that black shop, do you still remember our Shun Menghanyao master? I added some ingredients to the sweet potatoes."

Xu Fengnian stared at Lao Huang, and said in confusion: "Old Huang, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Huang interrupted: "She's fine, she'll wake up, let's go quickly."

Xu Fengnian was a little worried about the safety of Nangong Pushe.

If something happened to her in this wilderness, and it turns out that she is not a bad person, then Xu Fengnian would have to feel guilty for the rest of her life.

But it was about his father's safety, he couldn't hold back Lao Huang, so he could only secretly hope that nothing would happen to her.

This place is not far from Lingzhou City, but it is still a hundred miles away.

The group of three rushed on the road overnight, resting for less than an hour on the way, and the last few sweet potatoes were roasted and eaten.

After starting again, Xu Fengnian didn't dare to stop halfway, fearing that if he stopped, he would not be able to get up for a while and would be caught up by the pursuers.

So he held back his energy and rushed to the outside of Lingzhou City in one breath from early morning to dusk.

I only slept for more than two hours last night, and I was on my way for nearly seven hours.

At this time Xu Fengnian was exhausted, hungry and thirsty, he was dizzy, and he was shaking when he walked.

Li Fei was also in a similar state, only Lao Huang was still leading the horse, walking steadily.

Xu Fengnian couldn't stand it anymore, and he was still encouraging the two of them, "Hang on a little longer, and when we go to the city and return home, there will be a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine."

"I didn't think this wine and meat was a rare thing before, but now when I think about it, I get hungry, and I dream about it every day."

Li Fei said weakly: "Old Huang, we have also traveled for such a long time, why are you still in such good spirits? It doesn't make sense?"

Lao Huang chuckled, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, looking very simple and honest.

He does not mean that.

Xu Fengnian suddenly thought that when they went to the village to steal chickens and dogs in the past, after being discovered by the villagers, this old Huang ran faster than him, and he didn't look like a 60-[-]-year-old old man at all.

He suddenly understood something at this moment, but he didn't say anything for the time being.

Before entering the city, not far from the city wall, there is a stall selling apricot blossom wine.

Xu Fengnian, who was exhausted, regained his energy and quickened his pace towards the wine stand. Li Fei and Lao Huang hurriedly followed.

At this time, there were no customers at the wine stand, Xiaoer sat at the table in front of the wine cabinet, dozing off with his head propped on his hands.

The three of them sat down at an empty table, Li Fei unloaded several musical instruments, the guqin and erhu were placed by the table, and the suona and flute were placed on the table.

Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, smelled the aroma of wine from the stall, and said intoxicatedly: "The smell of Beiliang is really a mother's fragrance!"

After finishing speaking, he slapped the table majesticly, and shouted: "Little Er, serve the wine."

Xiao Er, who was dozing off, was terrified, and reflexively replied, "Come on!"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xiao Er walked to the table, took a closer look, and when he saw the images of the three of them, he immediately lowered his face.

Doing business outside the city of Lingzhou, it is not uncommon to see tourists traveling from north to south, and these few people don't seem to be able to pay for drinks.

Xiao Er was quite kind, and didn't chase him away immediately, but said with a half smile: "Guests, our signature apricot blossom wine costs [-] yuan a pot. It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"Hey..." Li Fei looked up at Xiao Er sideways, and said unexpectedly: "You Xiao Er, you don't learn if you are good, and learn to judge people by appearance."

Xiao Er rolled his eyes, folded his arms around his chest, and acted like he wouldn't drink if he couldn't see the money.

Li Fei took out the one or two ingot of silver ingot from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and shouted angrily, "Bring us good wine and good food."

As soon as the little boy saw Yinzi, his expression immediately changed, replaced by a flattering smile, and said: "Oh, so I was mistaken, please sit down for a while, and the good wine and food will be here soon."

After finishing speaking, he put away the ingot of silver and ran to the back kitchen.

Xu Fengnian laughed and patted Li Fei on the shoulder, and said happily: "Not bad, not bad, I like this style, and you have to have this kind of temper when you're with me."

Li Fei glanced at him speechlessly, and said, "I just don't resent him for looking down on people, but I don't intend to be a prodigal."

Xu Fengnian didn't care about Li Fei's insinuation that he was a prodigal son, and said in a weary tone: "Anyway, no matter how you lose, you won't lose all. It doesn't matter if you lose even once."

After a while, Xiaoer brought food and drinks, a pot of apricot blossom wine, a large plate of neatly sliced ​​roast duck, and a plate of Luo Han beans.

Just when Lao Huang was pouring good wine for a few people, a person suddenly turned out from the corner outside, but if it wasn't the leader of the Chu army, who was it?

The group of Chu soldiers also surrounded them one after another.

The leader of the Chu army stepped on the railing, holding his thick-backed machete in his hand, staring at Xu Fengnian with a sneer and said, "It's a pity, I'm about to go to Lingzhou, and I won't be able to go back after all."

When this person came out, Xu Fengnian and the others were taken aback for a moment.

After hearing his words, Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang didn't react yet, but Li Fei grabbed the suona on the table and rolled to distance himself from the leader of the Chu soldiers.

It's just that his movements were clumsy and embarrassing, leaving Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang speechless.

The leader of the Chu army was taken aback by his actions, but when he saw him raising the suona, as if about to blow, he finally understood and couldn't help feeling anxious.

He drew his knife out of its sheath with a clang, pointed at Li Fei and stared and shouted, "Shut up, I'll chop you up if you brag."

Li Fei pressed the hole with both hands, put the reed near his mouth, pointed the suona bowl at the leader of the Chu soldiers, and said angrily: "You bastards, Xu Shaorenyi, didn't kill you while you were unable to move."

"However, you are lingering, repaying kindness with grievances, and repaying kindness with hatred. You have no sense of shame. You are humiliating the Chu army."

The leader of the Chu army turned pale and was filled with embarrassment, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I recognize this kindness of not killing, but the hatred of the country and the family are irreconcilable."

"After I killed him to avenge the country, I killed myself on the spot and gave him back his life."

Li Fei shouted: "Don't even think about it, with me here today, you don't want to hurt Xu Shao a single hair."

"Last time, I was kind enough to let you sleep with a 'lullaby', but it didn't hurt your lives."

"Today, if you dare to act recklessly, I will play the 'Death Sanskrit' to make you bleed to death from your seven orifices."

The leader of the Chu army was taken aback, subconsciously took two steps back, and looked at Li Fei in surprise.

The lullaby last time made them fall asleep without knowing it, and they didn't know when they fell asleep.

And he knew that there is indeed a method of attacking the enemy with music in this world, so he was very afraid of Li Fei.

He glared at Li Fei angrily and said, "Xu Xiao is cruel and the enemy of the world. You just met Xu Fengnian by accident, why do you have to protect him?"

Li Fei snorted coldly, "He's the enemy, my hero, I'm from Liyang, it's as simple as that."

Hearing Li Fei's words "the enemy is my hero", Xu Fengnian was shocked, and looked into his eyes, full of emotion.

The expression of the leader of the Chu soldiers was constantly changing, and he was in a dilemma. He held the handle of the knife tightly, and his knuckles turned white from too much force.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of clothes fluttering, and there were a few soft sounds from the roof of the wine stall.

Everyone looked up, only to see a white figure flash past, and Nangong Pushe's figure floated to the ground.

Seeing her, Xu Fengnian turned his head in embarrassment, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

Nangong servant took a few steps forward, looked at Xu Fengnian indifferently, and said expressionlessly: "Does the previous agreement still count?"

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian raised his wine bowl to her and said with a sneer, "Of course."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Pushe didn't say a word, and reached out to pull out Xiudong's long knife with its sheath from his waist.

In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the leader of the Chu soldiers, and the scabbard poked forward, hitting the leader of the Chu soldiers on his chest.

Her speed was so fast that the leader of the Chu army couldn't react in front of her at all, and he fell backwards and was shot out of the range of the wine stall.

"Big brother."

The Chu soldiers outside the wine stall turned pale with fright, and hurried forward to catch the leader.

Nangong Pushe flew lightly to the wooden post used to tie the horse's bridle outside the wine stall. Shi Shiran sat on the top of the wooden post, looked at the Chu soldiers and said indifferently: "Don't break the wine stall."

On the other side, Li Fei's shoulders collapsed, and he relaxed, walked back to the wine table and sat down again, picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang looked at him in astonishment.

After Li Fei put down the wine bowl, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a frightened expression, "It's fortunate that she arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't know how it would end."

Xu Fengnian asked in astonishment: "What do you mean? Don't you know how to play the Sanskrit music for life? What are you afraid of?"

Li Fei smiled wryly and said, "That was to scare him. I do remember a Sanskrit song called Death, but I only remember the name and its function, but I have forgotten how to play it."

"If I really know how to play the death-defying Sanskrit, can I still be chased by them like a lost dog?"

"..."

Xu Fengnian pointed at him dumbfounded, opened his mouth for a long while without saying a word.

The leader of the Chu army over there almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. Cooperating with this guy, he was just bluffing?

This bastard.

The leader of the Chu army pointed at Nangong Pu and shot angrily, and shouted: "Kill her for me."

"Who dares to move?" Xu Fengnian suddenly said, "This is Beiliang."

After speaking, curl your index finger and thumb, put them in your mouth and blow.

A sharp whistle sounded, causing all the Chu soldiers who were about to make a move to pause, and stared at Xu Fengnian in surprise.

"唳"

Just after Xu Fengnian's whistle fell, a high-pitched cry suddenly came from far away in the sky.

Everyone looked up, only to see a falcon-like bird, like an arrow, brushing against the top of the city, flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed.

This is the "Qingbai Luan", which is only found in the ice and snow in the north of Jinzhou, and it is Xu Fengnian's pet.

Back then, there was a local dignitary who could call the wind and rain, wanted to exchange a thousand taels of gold and three beautiful women for Qing Bailuan, but in the end Xu Fengnian only said "Get out".

And after the Qingbai Luan flew out of Lingzhou City, the ground roared without warning, and even the wine table shook.

Everyone looked towards the gate of Lingzhou city, and saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the gate, stretching into two black lines.

In the dust, there are all the heavy armored cavalry of Beiliang, who are famous all over the world because one is worth one hundred.

The face of the leader of the Chu soldiers changed wildly, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's too bad, Beiliang iron cavalry."

Two hundred elite iron cavalry dashed out, mighty and mighty, like a rainbow, followed behind Qingbailuan, and rushed towards the wine stall, and arrived in an instant.

After arriving outside the wine stall, the two hundred cavalry came to a standstill for an instant, their movements exactly the same.

This proficiency has gone far beyond the scope of ordinary soldiers and soldiers who have fought a hundred battles.

Holding the wine bowl, Xu Fengnian didn't even look outside the wine stall, but raised his voice: "Do you have to wait until you're dead before you release the knife?"

A look of sadness flashed across the face of the leader of the Chu army. There were servants of Nangong blocking the way in front, and iron cavalry of Beiliang staring at him behind. It was impossible to do anything today.

He dejectedly said to his subordinates: "Beiliang iron cavalry is beyond human capabilities, let's stop!"

After speaking, the first one threw the thick-backed machete in his hand to the ground. Seeing this, the other Chu soldiers also dropped their weapons one after another.

The general leading two hundred cavalry didn't even look at those Chu soldiers, or even look at Xu Fengnian, let alone dismount to salute.

He sat firmly on the horse, and said without any respect in his mouth: "General Ning Emei of the Fengzi Camp Martial Arts, has met your son."

Li Fei suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Fengnian, his eyes were full of disbelief.

The corner of Xu Fengnian's mouth twitched, he naturally understood why Li Fei had such a reaction.

Since this battalion is called Fengzi Camp, it is because they are Xu Fengnian's personal guard battalion and belong to the direct line of troops.

But even his direct soldiers don't have the slightest respect for his son, it's hard to believe anyone else.

Xu Fengnian stood up slowly, and Ning Emei turned her head slightly, squinting at him.

Nangong Pushe on the wooden pillar looked at Xu Fengnian and saw him looking at Ning Emei expressionlessly, as if he understood something.

She also slowly stood up from the wooden pillar, and stared at Ning Emei condescendingly.

Seeing this, Ning Emei slightly raised her head to look at her, and said coldly, "You, come down."

Nangong Pushe was colder than him, he just said two words: "Get off the horse."

Ning Emei turned the divination iron halberd that was originally held in her left hand, and handed it to her right hand. The tip of the halberd pointed at Nangong Pu and shot, and said in a concentrated voice: "No one in the world dares to stop in front of Beiliang's war horse, come down."

Nangong Pushe held the scabbards of both knives with both hands, pulled out the scabbards with a clang, without any fear, and said coldly, "I want you to get off the horse."

Ning Emei didn't talk nonsense anymore, straightened the iron halberd, and stabbed at Nangong Pu's chest.

The divination iron halberd weighs 75 jins. This halberd is as powerful as a thunderbolt, with an unstoppable and violent momentum, even Nangong Pushe dare not take it head-on.

On one side of her body, avoiding the halberd, the Xiudong long knife in her right hand was raised high, and it fell hard, striking the top of Ning Emei's head.

Ning Emei's moves were quick, and her moves were equally quick.

The iron halberd was placed across the top of the head, firmly catching the saber, turned the iron halberd to block the long saber, and shot at Nangong Pu's legs with his backhand.

Nangong Pushe turned around, avoiding the sweep, and at the same time, taking advantage of the momentum of the turn, he slashed horizontally with his long saber, straight for Ning Emei's throat.

Ning Emei was on the horse, unable to use her footwork to advance and retreat, so she had to lean back to avoid the knife.

"General Ning."

He was about to use his halberd to attack again, when Xu Fengnian let out a heavy shout, making his movements stagnate.

Nangong Pushe lightly fell back to the top of the wooden pillar, and looked at him without showing any weakness.

Although she only fought three times, she had already tested Ning Emei's strength.

The moves are wide open and closed, powerful and heavy, more than ferocious, but not dexterous, it is a martial skill for fighting on the battlefield.

She is sure that she can kill the opponent within thirty moves.

Xu Fengnian stared at Ning Emei, and said calmly: "Someone in the Northern Liang Army handed over my portrait to the gangsters, does the general know?"

Ning Emei still didn't even look at him, and said without changing her face: "There is absolutely no such person in the Beiliang Army."

Xu Fengnian's voice was low, and he said slowly: "I only see General Ning, rushing to kill my friend."

Just now, Nangong Pushe's defense of his deeds dispelled Xu Fengnian's doubts about her.

He didn't doubt Nangong Pushe at first, but out of caution, he acquiesced to Lao Huang's arrangement.

When Nangong Pushe heard Xu Fengnian's "friend", he subconsciously looked back at him.

Ning Emei said: "Ning was ordered to take the son back to the mansion, and anyone who blocks the way is violating the order."

Xu Fengnian focused his eyes and said, "Then what if I let you get off the horse?"

Ning Emei froze, his face changed slightly, and a look of reluctance appeared in his eyes.

"elder brother……"

While he was hesitating, the person who gave him the steps appeared.
