The sound of poetry rippled on the water of West Lake, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Xu Tong didn't know whether there was Du Mu in this era.
But at this time, except for this poem, Xu Tong had no more suitable poem to express his inner anger as Yang Hong.
The civil and military officials of the court were singing and dancing, and they seemed to only have the words "Victory at Langshan" in their eyes. Little did they know that the number of Tianqian killed in the battle at Langshan was not much lower than that of the Northern Barbarians. Of the 30,000 advance troops, less than 3,000 survived in the end. This is because of myself.
The bloody battle at Langshan was like a meat grinder. Forty thousand Tiangan soldiers lay under Langshan and never woke up. The injured and disabled were even more incalculable.
This battle was a great victory, but it cannot be summed up in just four words: the frivolous victory at Langshan.
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment.
The expressions on the faces of those ministers flickered for a while. Was this not showing any respect? This was rubbing all their faces on the ground.
The talent of this poem is astonishing. Who among the people present can't think of the Spring and Autumn Period in their hearts. Looking at this poem from a professional perspective, the more I read it, the more amazing it becomes.
The word "cage" in the first sentence is very eye-catching. Smoke, water, moon and sand are harmoniously blended together by the two characters "cage", creating an extremely elegant night scene by the water.
The second sentence may seem ordinary, but it is worth pondering. The first four words point out the time and place for the scenery in the previous sentence, and the last three words open the way for the following, leading to the next two lines of poetry.
It's just that the last two lines of poetry are really harsh.
He was scolding the Yaoqing girl in front of him, but in fact, he was mocking everyone present. Everyone's face was burning, as if someone had slapped them out of thin air.
If it were anyone else, this time would definitely arouse the anger of the people and join forces to attack.
But the young marquis in front of him has a heroic spirit and a sharp cold light in his eyes. Regardless of his extreme strength, even the bloody human head in Qian Feng's arms makes no one dare to pay any attention to him. no.
Seeing that everyone's faces were getting uglier, Xu Tong grinned and felt instantly better. He likes to see others feel uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable they are, the happier he is. I can't kill you, but I can still disgust you for a while.
Looking at Xu Lai's face again, he saw that his Chinese character face was now as pale as steel, his eyes were filled with gloom and he glared at himself, and he coldly snorted: "What a poem!"
The voice sounded slightly cold to outsiders, but in front of Xu Tong, it was a different story.
I saw Xu Lai's cold snort, and huge thoughts were mixed in it, like a torrent of river water rushing towards him.
The huge mental power is the result of Xu Lai's decades of hard training to become an Earth Immortal Queen. His mental power is as strong as the sea, and he can follow his words. Just a cold snort is enough to kill the masters who have entered the Taoist realm, even the enlightened heavenly beings. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss too.
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect Xu Lai's thoughts to be so powerful, but he was not afraid of him at all. He silently recited the Nirvana Sutra to make his mind clear. Facing the raging power of thoughts in front of him, Xu Tong's consciousness was not at all. Not affected.
Seeing Xu Tong's indifferent look, Xu Laiye couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
"Sorry, I drank too much and am not feeling well. Goodbye!" Xu Tong smiled and already had a rough understanding of Xu Lai's strength. He stopped staying immediately, and after a polite exchange of greetings, he left before everyone could see him. After coming back to his senses, he turned around and walked to Qian Feng. He looked at him with a smile, which made Qian Feng feel hairy all over. Then he picked up the head and turned around.
"Uncles, Lord Shenwu drank too much. I'll see him off."
When Xu Fan saw that Yang Hong was leaving, of course he didn't dare to stay here any longer, so he immediately ran away.
As soon as the two people left, the scene exploded. Several officials pointed in the direction Xu Tong left and cursed. A clear cold voice came from the boat: "Mr. Guozhu, my little girl is not feeling well today. For the time being."
Farewell!"
After saying this, the two maids turned around and walked into the cabin, signaling the boatman to leave.
As for the eighteen fairies in the priest's office, they also played their violins and left, not daring to stay any longer.
This poem is so powerful that although Yang Hongren left, the sound lingered in his ears and lingered for a long time. Whoever could continue to stay would be really shameless.
If people hang this poem on their heads in the future, even Fairy Eighteen will probably have a bad reputation.
Even the girls in Sijiofang couldn't stand such irony, let alone the court officials. Some of them immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands to Xu Lai and resigned.
The ministers had all run away. How dare those strangers stay longer? They still said goodbye to Xu Lai with a smile on their faces, but when they turned around, they wished they had two extra legs.
In an instant, no one had time to say a word in the originally lively West Lake Poetry Recital. Before Xu Lai could talk about martial arts, he was stunned by Xu Tong's poem.
Everyone seemed to have been slapped, and ran away with their heads lowered.
The most annoying person among them was naturally Xu Lai himself. It was said that when Xu Lai left West Lake and returned home, he conveniently sent all the guards who were responsible for following Lu Yanfang's orders to death row for dereliction of duty.
Xu Tong's poem also spread throughout the streets overnight.
Many aspiring people heard this poem and called Shen Wuhou powerful.
When he learned that Xu Tong had killed Lu Yanfang, he even shouted with joy.
Others shook their heads and sighed, feeling that Marquis Shenwu's actions tonight, although he was very angry on behalf of the soldiers who went on the expedition, had also offended the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, especially Xu Guozhu, who was offended to death.
Damn it, I'm afraid that although this court is big, it can no longer accommodate him.
This concern is not unreasonable.
After all, the Xu family covers the sky with only one hand. Even though Shenwuhou is also the best in the world, Xu Laiming has never turned against him, but it is not a problem to suppress him severely in the court.
Xu Tong didn't know what Xu Lai was thinking, but when he let out this breath of bad breath, he felt that his whole body was fully aware of his thoughts, and he was indescribably happy.
"Brother Yang, it's getting late. Is there a place to stay in Lin'an?"
Xu Fan asked Xu Tong from the side.
As soon as Xu Tong shook his head, Xu Fan immediately said: "It just so happens that I have a villa in Lin'an. You can just follow me and live there temporarily."
Xu Tong is not polite. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter whether the little guy in Lu Ji's belly is born, a boy or a girl, Xu Fan must rely on Xu Tong's amulet. If he still has it at this time,
To be polite is to be offended.
So the two of them went straight to the other courtyard. Xu Fan asked the guards following him to go home early and ordered the kitchen to prepare food and wine.
On the road, Xu Tong was lying on the carriage. Xu Fan's carriage was very large, much larger than ordinary carriages. It was paved with thick soft mats, and there was a hot stove on the side. Even the wheels were made of thick
Wrapped in thick animal skin, it is extremely comfortable to sit on.
Xu Tong changed to a more comfortable position and asked, "Brother Xu, how much do you know about Shangqing Dao?"
Xu Fan thought for a moment, held the heater in his arms, covered his cold hands and said, "Not much. This Shangqing Dao is particularly mysterious. Even I don't know who the leader is, but there is one thing that is very interesting."
Xu Fan talked about the past. It was six years ago. Xu Lai went out with a sword. It took two months before he came back. When he came back, he was scarred. There was a wound on his shoulder that was so deep that the bone was visible.
This matter was kept as a secret, and few people in the Xu family knew about it.
But only Xu Fan knew that Xu Lai went to Xianrending, where Shangqing Road is located.
Hearing what Xu Fan said, Xu Tong suddenly became alert. Xu Lai, as the second best person in the world and blessed by national luck, was actually injured. This shows that this Shangqing Dao is indeed extraordinary.
"Well, I need to find an opportunity to go to the Shangqing Dao to explore its depth."
While Xu Tong was thinking about it, the carriage stopped in front of a manor.
There are two lion-shaped gate piers on both sides of the vermilion gate. The lions are majestic and unstoppable. The stone drum below the gate pier is engraved with the image of a unicorn, which is even more vivid, as if it is about to jump down from it at any time.
Common people also have this kind of gate, but their grades vary greatly.
For example, the lions and unicorns in front of us represent the exclusive possession of the royal family. Even first-class officials cannot override them. In other words, the Xu family is only qualified to enjoy them if they are relatives of the emperor.
When you walk into the gate, you will see a dragon screen wall in front of you. Three dragons are circling, with a rainbow-like momentum. They are so delicate that even the scales on it imply the number of three talents and six unions.
As soon as Xu Tong entered the door, he could feel an invisible aura coming, but when it came into contact with him, it disappeared without a trace.
This screen wall is a security feature of the house, which can prevent sneaky and evil things from following the owner into the house.
The screen wall in front of him was even more impressive. The three dragons were full of aura, and they even had a faint feeling that they were about to materialize. When Xu Tong took a closer look, he found that these three dragons had no eye-catching features.
This reminded him of Wu Daozi's rising dragon painting.
"I'm afraid if I click on the dragon's eyes, these three dragons will break through the wall and rise up."
Xu Tong thought about it secretly and couldn't help but be surprised.
This place is said to be a villa owned by Xu Fan, but the standards are ridiculously high.
Even if Xu Tong, a land god, followed Xu Fan all the way in, he could not help but feel like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Even the teacups for drinking water are expensive, to the point of being staggeringly expensive.
Although Xu Fan had no cultivation skills, his life was even more like that of an immortal.
Fortunately, Xu Tong didn't feel anything about these foreign objects. Compared to this house, Xu Fan had people prepare the meals early, which made Xu Tong's mouth water.

I thought that in this era without the blessing of technology and hard work, the taste of food would generally be bland.
But when the delicious food was served, Xu Tong realized that he was superficial.
A plate of glazed dragon jelly, at first glance, looks like an ordinary plate of isinglass inside, withered at best, but when you actually eat it, even Xu Tong almost bites his tongue.
It tastes delicious, has an endless aftertaste, and has a strong sauce aroma, which is simply amazing.
When Xu Tong asked, he found out that the tofu was not made from beans, but made from fish bones.
What?? Fish bones?
That's right, sturgeon bones that are more than twenty years old are taken and fed slowly in twelve-bone soup over low heat. In the end, the bones are like jelly and crystal clear.
The taste is amazing when you put it in your mouth. It feels like a dragon is jumping around in your mouth when you swallow it.
Just this one dish costs thirty taels of silver.
Among them, 10 taels were used to buy fish, and the remaining 20 taels were used to make soup.
You know, during this great victory at Langshan, all the soldiers received at most only ten taels of silver due to their military merits, which in the end was not enough to eat this dish.
In addition to this glazed dragon jelly, there are other dishes such as goose web duck, sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, and ham stewed elbow. These dishes may seem ordinary at first glance, but every dish is a rich dish.
Those who are either rich or noble cannot afford to eat.
Finally, there is a dessert, I don’t know what it is called. It is square in shape, white and tender as snow, and tastes crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, with the aroma of jujube, but the texture is not like jujube, on the contrary, it is delicate.
It has to make people feel like they are eating ice cream.
When Xu Tong asked, he found out that it was originally made from jujube paste and yam. Although the thing was simple, the workmanship was exquisite and unusual.
Xu Tong enjoyed the meal, and then he saw Xu Fan smiling and saying: "Brother Yang, I have already finished the rice cakes you gave me last time..."
When Xu Tong heard this, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xu Fanfudong Kuaizi was waiting here.
In fact, since Xu Fan returned to Lin'an, he had no appetite. It was really uncomfortable, so he followed Xu Tong's method and soaked some rice cakes in warm water and ate them.
Although the taste is average, after eating it for a while, my body actually improved.
It was finished within a few days. No wonder Xu Fan was obsessed with it.
"Hey, you told me earlier."
Xu Tong took out a grain of dragon rice. Although there was only one grain, this dragon rice was bigger than a millstone. Under the moonlight, it exuded a luster like Hetian jade. If he hadn't known that this thing could be eaten, he would have eaten it.
To outsiders, they might think it is a complete piece of jade.
Xu Fan quickly called his servants and brought the things into the kitchen, intending to make himself a bowl of porridge first.
"Brother Yang, are you planning to meet the saint tomorrow?"
Xu Fan asked while Xu Tong had eaten and drank enough.
"The coach hasn't arrived yet, so I, the deputy general, cannot be interviewed in advance."
Xu Tong counted the time and estimated that it would take at least three days for Wu Jie and his party to arrive at Lin'an Mansion, so he did not plan to go directly to the palace to meet the saint yet.
Xu Fan nodded and expressed that Xu Tong could rest assured that if someone took advantage of this to cause trouble at the meeting tomorrow, he could come forward to help. At least the matter of killing Lu Yanfang was not a big deal. It was just a few words of no pain or irritation.
Just scolding.
The emperor had been dissatisfied with the Xu family for a long time. It was rare that Xu Tong slapped Xu Lai in the face as soon as he arrived. It was too late for the emperor to be happy. In fact, what the emperor was most worried about now was that Xu Tong was on Xu Lai's side. The two
A land god, I'm afraid he could make the emperor cry to death.
Xu Tong wanted exactly this effect. On the surface, killing Lu Yanfang was to give bad breath to the soldiers of the three armies. In fact, the deeper purpose was to show the emperor his discordant attitude towards Xu Lai.
So from the beginning, Xu Tong was not worried about any bad consequences that his actions tonight might bring.
"Oh, by the way, didn't you mention before that you wanted to go to Lin'an Mansion's Tianlao? This is the token. You can go in at any time with this token."
Xu Fan took off a token from his waist and handed it to Xu Tong. Xu Tong picked it up and saw that it was Xu Lai's token. He couldn't help but glance at Xu Fan: "Isn't this... inappropriate?"
"It's appropriate. What's inappropriate? This old guy's token works better than the emperor's edict."
Xu Tong's original intention was that he just had a falling out with his father, and just holding his father's token here always felt like a bit of a bully.
But seeing Xu Fan's disapproving look, Xu Tong swallowed these words in his stomach. After all, his father is kind and his son is filial, so it's hard for him to say it to an outsider.
As the night got darker, Xu Tong moved into the room under the arrangement of Xu Fan. As soon as he entered the room, there were two little girls aged 18, wearing almost transparent gauze, kneeling and watching over the bed.
When Xu Tong took a look at it, he thought it was arranged by Xu Fan, but the housekeeper first explained that it was a maid used to warm her feet.
If Xu Tong needs it, there are also beautiful concubines in the house, and these two maids can also help.
Good guy, this kind of treatment made Xu Tong think that he was walking into a "rich family."
After signaling to the housekeeper to take the two girls away as he did not need them, he repeatedly declined the housekeeper's enthusiastic recommendation and closed the door. Xu Tong calmed down and thought about what Xu Fan mentioned about Xu Lai's trip to Xianren Dingqi six years ago.
The matter of injury.
"Xu Lai's strength is very strong. His own thoughts have reached the point where he can transform into images and kill people with just one thought. If he hadn't been too obsessed with future generations and his thoughts were not pure enough, I'm afraid his strength could be even higher.
Lou, such a character can still be injured. It seems that the gods hidden in the script this time are probably hidden in the Shangqing Dao."
Xu Tong figured out his goal, hid it behind the immortal's head, sat on the bed, and quickly fell into concentration.
Today's collision with Xu Lai's thoughts made him realize how powerful Xu Lai was, but he also further realized the magical effect of the Nirvana Sutra, and planned to take advantage of this time to practice the Nirvana Sutra to the second level as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Xu Tong had just entered trance, when he felt his brows jump sharply, and a sense of oppression came over him, causing him to suddenly open his eyelids from trance. A golden light bloomed from his eyes, and his spiritual eyes opened.
On the body of a shadow outside the wall.
"Hey, where did this little thief come from!"
Xu Tong sneered, stood up and rushed out of the room, leaping up.
The other party also noticed Xu Tong's movements, but did not show any panic at all. He even paused for a moment on purpose, as if waiting for Xu Tong to catch up, then turned around and walked lightly towards the outside of the city.
Seeing that the other party was trying to lure him out of the city, Xu Tong thought for a while and called Da Ya, calling Da Ya out and asking her to guard the other courtyard for him to prevent the tiger from moving the mountain.
plan, and then set off to catch up with the figure.
I saw Xu Tong's figure like a Kunpeng. If he stepped down, he would be thousands of meters away in an instant.
But what he didn't expect was that the speed of the black shadow was not weaker than his own. It even seemed to be deliberately fishing for him. If he accelerated, the other party would also accelerate. If he slowed down, the other party would also slow down.
Come down.
"What a fast movement!"
Xu Tong looked around and saw that the opponent's feet seemed to be stepping on lotus flowers. The steps were very broken, but surprisingly fast. He couldn't help but think of the almost lost footwork called ghost steps in the female role of Peking Opera.
The two are somewhat similar, but the steps taken by the person in front of him are even weirder. In one step, the figure floats hundreds of meters forward.
Even if he was in the realm of Earthly Immortal, he could never compare to shrinking the earth into an inch.
Looking at the figure of the other party again, even though he had the blessing of divine vision, he could not tell the depth of the other party's cultivation. However, Xu Tong was sure based on her body shape that she must be a woman.
There are not many women with such strength. Xu Tong's mind was like lightning. In an instant, he thought of the Yao Qing girl who had not shown up in the boat tonight. He immediately smiled secretly: "I haven't gone to find you yet. You
He just came to the door by himself."
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Tong jumped up and his speed suddenly increased several times.
When the other party saw Xu Tong coming so fast, he immediately stepped into the lotus and rushed out of the city in an instant. He didn't stop until he reached the top of a deserted mountain.
Only when Xu Tong came after him did he suddenly turn around and say in a cold voice: "Marquis Shenwu is indeed a hero in the world, but today the Marquis almost ruined my reputation. The little girl also wants to learn from the Marquis' swordsmanship."
"It's really you!"
When Xu Tong heard this, he confirmed the identity of the visitor. It was the girl Yao Qing, the Fairy of the Shangqing Dao, whom Xu Lai had flattered.
"Xu Fan said that this woman's cultivation level is not high, but she is strong enough to fight an Earth Immortal. I just want to test her strength first!"
An idea came to Xu Tong's mind, and he immediately raised his hand and struck out with a thunder talisman. There was not even the slightest courtesy, and he struck hard with one strike.
Xu Tong's quick movements made Yao Qing startled at first, but then she became a little angry.
He went down the mountain to experience the world of mortals in order to prepare for the Dao. Although he was in the world of mortals, he did not occupy any part of it. Today, Yang Hong's poem was like a basin of sewage poured on him.
Just imagine that if someone recognizes her when she goes out in the future, she will probably associate herself with this poem, and wonder if she is not that shameless prostitute.
This humiliation made Yao Qing more and more angry after she left. She came in a hurry to talk to Yang Hong, but she didn't expect that the other party would be more decisive than her. It was as if she had been preparing to kill her early in the morning. This was really
It made her feel shocked and angry.
Facing the thunder from the sky, he stepped lightly with the soles of his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he moved forward and rushed towards Xu Tong.
The courage of this woman to defy the immortals in the realm of gods and humans is really extraordinary. She raised her palms and pinched the seal. Suddenly, a magnificent starry sky appeared in her palms, and the stars in the sky began to rotate violently in her palms.
Seeing this, Xu Tong simply squeezed his fingerprints and hit the woman's palm with a diamond seal.
Unexpectedly, the moment these two palms touched each other, Xu Tong suddenly realized that something was wrong, and intuitively felt that the stars in the woman's hands had a huge suction force that was trying to swallow up his own power.
"I want to swallow me, but I'm afraid you'll break those big teeth!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Xu Tong shouted angrily, pure Yang Qi surged out of his body, and a dazzling sword light burst out. The sword light penetrated the galaxy and pierced the woman's face.
The woman ducked sideways, but the black gauze on her face was swept away by the sword energy, revealing a beautiful face, with fine white skin, refined and refined under the moonlight, and her facial features were so delicate that it was breathtaking.
But at this time, the woman's face showed a bit of anger: "Since you know who I am, you still dare to kill me!"
Xu Tong curled his lips when he heard this, with a cruel smile on his face: "Who cares who you are, there are evil ways in the world, those who use strange magic to attack the important officials of the imperial court, according to the law of heaven and earth, the demon will be caught, stripped of clothes, soaked in dung cellar for three days, hung on the city tower to show to the public, until exposed to the sun And die!"
