Chapter 175: Gravekeeper Jiang Si, Xu Wei Xiong Watches the Execution! (33)
Lingzhou, the palace of the Northern Liang king.
Xu Xiao looked at Xu Fengnian with a loving face, while Xu Fengnian was gnawing on a roasted suckling pig.
"Son, roast suckling pig is not a delicacy, why does it taste so good?"
Xu Fengnian was gnawing on the pig's head frantically, his mouth full of oil.
"fragrant!"
"It's so fragrant!"
Xu Xiao looked at it with envy, but did not dare to snatch his son's food.
"Feng Nian, let Dad have a taste too?"
Seeing that Xu Xiao was really greedy, Xu Fengnian ordered the maid to give some to Xu Xiao.
"Green Ant, Cucumber, cut the pig's butt for Xu Xiao!"
The two maids were quick and nimble and cut a large piece of pork for Xu Xiao.
As soon as you take a bite of Xu Xiao’s pork, you’ll instantly feel refreshed, as if you’ve entered a fairyland!
"Damn it!"
"I've been fighting for my whole life!"
“I’ve never tasted such delicious pork butt!”
"Feng Nian, was this roast suckling pig made by the chef in the mansion?"
Xu Fengnian said vaguely, "Lu Qiu'er gave it to me as a gift!"
"This is not an ordinary suckling pig, this is called the Nectar Suckling Pig!"
Xu Xiao, a peasant, was unable to react for a moment, "What is a suckling pig with fine wine?"
Xu Fengnian said disdainfully, "Xu Xiao, your knowledge is not as good as my maid!"
"Cucumber, tell Xu Xiao about it!"
The maid Huanggua blushed slightly and stammered as she spoke the origin of the Qiongjiang suckling pig.
"This suckling pig was raised by General Chu using human milk."
"Those human breast milks...were all selected by General Chu after tasting them."
"General Chu has really done his best for the prince."
Xu Xiao was shocked after hearing this. There are people in the world who know how to enjoy life so well!
"Everyone in the world says Lu Qiu'er is bad, but I think he is good!"
"Look how good he is to Feng Nian!"
Soon, the little suckling pig had almost finished eating.
Xu Fengnian carefully wrapped the remaining elbow with oil paper.
Xu Xiao saw it and guessed who the elbow was for, but he didn't say anything.
Xu Fengnian put his elbow in his pocket and was about to walk out of the room when he suddenly remembered something.
"Xu Xiao! You promised to give me two more maids!"
"I'm already fifteen years old, two maids are not enough!"
Xu Xiao said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. Dad has already found one for you."
"There's a naturally fragrant girl who can warm your bed!"
"There is also a careful and quiet one who feeds you a six-year phoenix!"
"But our palace has many rules, so they still need some more training."
Xu Fengnian nodded. A beautiful girl who smells so good that she can warm the bed is really exciting!
The Red Musk Deer and the Blue Bird must practice their martial arts to a certain level before they can be given to Xu Fengnian.
Xu Xiao's plan was to let them secretly protect Xu Fengnian.
If it was given to Xu Fengnian too early, these two would have no time to practice martial arts.
Xu Fengnian was very satisfied with Xu Xiao's answer, and then walked out of the room happily.
He walked around the back garden of the palace and came to the back of Qingliang Mountain, where was the tomb of her mother Wu Su.
Next to the mausoleum, there is a small hut.
Xu Fengnian shouted towards the hut, "Little clay figurine, come out quickly. I've brought you some delicious food."
Jiang Si lives in this small thatched cottage.
Xu Xiao kept Jiang Si for the sake of Beiliang.
If Jiang Si were returned to the Western Chu restoration forces, the enemy's arrogance and strength would be unprecedentedly strong.
In this case, Beiliang's role is indispensable, which is more or less a way of keeping the enemy at bay.
In the original drama, when Xu Xiao was fighting for the hereditary succession of King of Beiliang, he played the card of Jiang Si.
Jiang Si, who was brought to Beiliang, did not become Xu Fengnian's maid.
Because during the few days she spent with Li Changan, Li Changan told her that she was extremely talented and was most suitable for practicing sword.
Jiang Ni, who became Li Changan's little fan, naturally believed in Li Changan without a doubt.
When she first came to Beiliang, she stayed with Wu Su, but Wu Su died soon after.
Jiang Si volunteered to guard Wu Su's tomb. In fact, she wanted to avenge her parents and practice sword secretly.
Xu Xiao didn’t care what Jiang Si wanted to do, as long as she stayed in Beiliang.
The sword manuals he gave to Jiang Si were not up to standard, so Jiang Si certainly couldn't achieve anything great with her skills.
"I told you I won't eat your food!"
She was very disgusted with Xu Fengnian's behavior of giving her a random nickname.
She also communicated with the servants on Qingliang Mountain and knew some of the "glorious deeds" of Xu Fengnian and Chu Lushan.
Therefore, Jiang Si had no good feelings towards the playboy Xu Fengnian.
However, Xu Fengnian was quite interested in her and would find reasons to show his affection to her every now and then.
Xu Fengnian ran to the door of the thatched cottage and excitedly told Jiang Si the origin of the Qiongjiang suckling pig.
"Listen to this, little clay figurine... This suckling pig is so precious! It's a suckling pig raised with human milk!"
Listening to Xu Fengnian's chattering, Jiang Si widened her eyes in shock.
She was born into a royal family and grew up in the deep palace. She had never heard of such a perverted thing.
But when Xu Fengnian talked about it, his words were full of pride, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
"Little clay figurine, I'll bring it in for you!"
Hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Jiang Si said angrily, "Get out of here! If you dare to come in, I will kill you immediately!"
"Take your stuff away, I don't want it!"
Xu Fengnian couldn't understand why Jiang Ni didn't like such a rare delicacy!
He changed Jiang Si's name to Jiang Ni.
"Well, in fact, you can appreciate its wonderfulness after just one bite."
"I've left it at the door for you. If I find something good next time, I'll definitely come find you."
After Xu Fengnian left, Jiang Ni walked out and kicked the suckling pig's elbow down the mountain.
"The princess is kind-hearted, how could she give birth to someone like Xu Fengnian?"
In the afternoon, servants from the Beiliang Palace came to replace the offerings at Wu Su's tomb.
Jiang Ni was practicing sword at the door, and the two of them just nodded to each other.
As the servant exchanged the tribute, he said, "Young lady still has no chance to leave the palace."
This servant is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and has been in the palace for more than a year.
The Beiliang Palace is known as one of the three forbidden areas in the martial arts world. It is filled with experts and even monsters like Xu Yanbing who are half-step away from becoming an earthly immortal.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei who sneaked into the Beiliang Palace were extremely cautious.
Jiang Si seemed to be guarding the tomb, but Xu Xiao had specially sent someone to keep an eye on her.
It was only in the past two years that the Jinyiwei established a base in Lingzhou.
Li Changan's order to the Lingzhou Jinyiwei was to rescue Jiang Si while ensuring their own safety.
The Lingzhou Jinyiwei studied it for a long time and found that this task was very difficult.
Only when Jiang Si walks out of the palace can she be rescued safely.
"not yet."
The servant replaced the offerings and said before leaving, "Then wait a little longer."
"Perhaps, the prince will create an opportunity for you."
At first glance, this prince might be Xu Xiao, but Jiang Si knew that this prince was Li Changan.
The Beiliang Palace is like a prison, surrounded by enemies.
The only news she could get from the outside world was about Li Changan.
I really hope that one day I can regain my freedom.
Yongzhou, Jincheng.
At the gate of the governor's office.
Scholars and common people gathered here to collectively denounce Chu Lushan. "My daughter went to the street to buy medicine for the old man, and was killed by that beast!"
"Master Tian! My family has been doing business for generations, and we have never even seen bandits. How can we be in collusion with bandits?"
"My Lord, we can't let that beast leave Yongzhou like this!"
The governor's mansion, which is usually quiet, is now as chaotic as a market.
Amid the noisy voices, someone suddenly shouted.
"Everyone! Great news!"
"Fat Pig Chu is finished! He has been castrated by the King of Tang!"
"Go and have a look! Fatty Chu has turned into a meat worm!"
After the news spread, there were many voices of doubt.
"Who are you talking about? King Tang? Li Changan?"
"Impossible? Does he know martial arts?"
Afterwards, all kinds of messy news came out.
"Fat pig Chu has been slaughtered, the whole world is celebrating, and the truth will be revealed!"
"Shopkeeper Li has announced that drinks at Haiyanlou are free today!"
"Mother Li has promised that Meixianyuan will offer half price for ten days, and she will never break her promise!"
"However, the price of the private room near where Chu Feizhu is imprisoned has increased tenfold!"
Half a day later, the news spread throughout Jincheng.
The city is already bustling with people, the streets and alleys are filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and firecrackers are blasting!
Restaurants, brothels, and teahouses all reduced their prices, and private and public schools all had three-day holidays!
Xu Weixiong and Hong She, who were waiting in the palace, gradually heard the noise outside.
Hong She asked Cao Zhengchun, "Mr. Cao, what festival is today?"
Cao Zhengchun replied with a smile, "I don't know."
Although I don’t know, it must be a good thing. It is likely that Li Changan has dealt with Chu Lushan.
At this moment, a Beiliang soldier rushed in from outside.
"Princess, Princess!"
"Something bad is going to happen!"
Seeing the visitor looked anxious, Xu Weixiong immediately stood up and walked into the yard.
"What happened? Where is General Chu?"
The man looked bitter and said with a hint of fear, "Li Changan castrated the general!"
"People on the street...are all celebrating this..."
Of course Xu Weixiong understood what was said. Chu Lushan had indeed caused big trouble.
Her mind raced as she began to consider the current situation.
"This Chu Lushan is really causing trouble!"
"This isn't Beiliang, why are you acting so carelessly?"
Xu Weixiong was organizing his thoughts when Hongshe beside him spoke.
"Princess, I will go out and check the situation outside."
A trace of solemnity appeared on Hongshe's charming face.
Xu Weixiong knew that this maid was no ordinary person.
This woman is charming on the outside but cold on the inside, and is very difficult to get close to.
"Hong Musk, be careful."
After getting Xu Weixiong's permission, Hongshe smiled slightly and left the Prince Tang's Mansion calmly.
Hongshe had just left when the sound of fighting was suddenly heard outside the palace.
Xu Weixiong clearly heard the shouts of the Yongzhou army coming one after another.
"Capture the Northern Liang Army, not a single one can escape!"
While Xu Weixiong was surprised, a large number of Yongzhou soldiers rushed into the palace.
The few personal soldiers around him were no match for the four hands and were quickly captured.
Xu Weixiong had just drawn out the Chichi sword when he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder and the sword fell to the ground.
She turned around and saw Cao Zhengchun smiling gently.
"Since Miss Xu is here, don't leave in a hurry."
"I think you are pretty, why don't you stay and be His Highness's concubine?"
Xu Weixiong subconsciously wanted to resist, but Cao Zhengchun, who was already at the peak of the Profound Realm, was no match for her.
Cao Zhengchun sealed Xu Weixiong's internal energy with just a few moves, and the Hezhou army also tied up all the 100 Beiliang soldiers.
Xu Weixiong was shocked. The Hezhou army obeyed Tian Zong's orders, but Tian Zong did not have the courage to capture the Beiliang army.
It seems that the Tang King Li Changan, whom I have never met, is manipulating things behind the scenes.
What does Li Changan want to do?
Not only did they castrate Chu Lushan, they also captured the Northern Liang soldiers!
In the Liyang Dynasty, even the emperor wouldn't dare to do this!
Just as he was feeling panic, he suddenly heard Cao Zhengchun ask the officer.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The officer replied, "His Royal Highness the King of Tang has issued an order that the Northern Liang soldiers who killed innocent people and tortured civilians are unforgivable crimes."
"All these one hundred Beiliang soldiers will be taken outside the city and dragged to death by war horses!"
"Please ask Eunuch Cao to take Miss Xu to the city gate tower to watch the execution."
When Xu Weixiong heard the words "being dragged to death by a war horse", his pupils suddenly dilated and his heart began to beat wildly!
Some vague fragments from deep in my memory suddenly came to my mind.
Her mother and sister were dragged to death by Chen Zhibao's warhorse!
Cao Zhengchun said, "Miss Xu, let's go and watch the show."
An hour later, Xu Weixiong climbed up to the Jinzhou city wall.
The city gate was filled with common people who had heard the news, and they came to watch the execution of these Beiliang soldiers.
"The King of Tang must personally supervise the execution of those Northern Liang soldiers!"
"Castrated Chu Lushan and killed the Northern Liang soldiers. How brave!"
"Isn't it! We are being bullied like this on our own territory!"
On the top of the city wall, Li Changan sat comfortably on a throne.
Sitting on a small stool beside him was the governor, looking as aggrieved as a young wife.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, the governor was completely helpless.
This time, Yongzhou is going to offend Beiliang to death!
Li Changan turned his head and glanced at Xu Weixiong. His qualifications were indeed not bad.
Name: Xu Weixiong
Age: 16 years old
Realm: Confucian Second Grade, Late Stage
Talents: Literature (first grade), Intelligence (second grade), Management (second grade),
Abilities: Chess (first rank), Poetry (second rank), Intelligence (second rank), Management (third rank)
Emotion: 0
Xu Weixiong was known as the best chess player in the world, and was the best chess player except for those rare old monsters.
"Li Changan, do you know what you are doing?"
A hint of coolness flashed across Xu Weixiong's face, but also a hint of confusion.
What is Li Changan's plan to starve these soldiers to death?
Li Changan answered the question irrelevantly, "Miss Xu, have you ever seen a Tantric monk?"
Xu Weixiong's expression changed slightly, not knowing why Li Changan asked that.
"Of course I have seen him. Master Long Shou, a disciple of the White-robed Guanyin of the Red Sect of the Western Regions, is Mr. Li's best friend, and everyone in the world knows him."
The Mr. Li she mentioned is Li Yishan, a talented and con man who specializes in training assassins.
A great strategist beside Xu Xiao and one of the four great strategists in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Li Changan nodded and said, "Then do you know the Tantric technique of closing the mind?"
Xu Weixiong didn't understand what was going on, and he had never heard of the so-called art of closing the mind.
However, what was happening outside the city made Xu Weixiong's hair stand on end.
One hundred Yongzhou cavalrymen, each dragging a cloth bag!
Those cloth bags contain soldiers from Beiliang!
"Execution!"
With Li Changan's order, a hundred horses began to gallop!
Screams came out of the cloth bag, and the bag gradually turned red!
The hard stones on the ground knocked the person in the bag into a bloody mess!
A long bloodstain was left on the ground!
Xu Weixiong's lips turned blue and his body trembled constantly! It was as if he had returned to a few years ago!
This is how her mother and sister were dragged to death!
The culprit is Xu Xiao’s other adopted son, the white-clothed soldier Chen Zhibao!
"Mother, sister! No! No!"
"No! Let them go!"
"Chen Zhibao, you beast!"
"what!"
