Su Mingzhe took Lao Huang and Xu Fengnian to the mountain temple, waved his sleeves and robes, and shook away the dust and dirt on the futon in front of the table where the mountain god was offered.
Then he sat down in the middle first, and then gave Lao Huang and Xu Fengnian a futon each, and said with a gentle smile:
"Uncle Master, sit down."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When Lao Huang saw that Su Mingzhe's martial arts cultivation at will seemed to have reached the state of a master who returned to his original nature and made everything natural, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and he immediately asked:
"Your Highness, have you learned the sword code left by your senior brother?"
The master of Lao Huang and his senior brother Su Mao was Sui Xiegu, the "ancestor of sword-eating".
Sui Xiegu was as famous as the former "Sword God" Li Chungang. The two had a competition and exchanged arms.
At that time, Li Chungang called himself: "If heaven had not given birth to me, Li Chungang, my swordsmanship would be as long as the night."
In the Sui Dynasty, Xiegu said to himself: "Three million sword immortals in the sky may bow their eyebrows when they see me."
Such an unruly Sui Xiegu received a total of two and a half apprentices, namely the prince Su Mao of Xishu, Huang Zhentu, the ‘Sword Nine Yellows’, and Wen Hua, the later ‘Wooden Swordsman’.
And Su Mao, the former 'Sword Emperor of Western Shu', was also Su Su, Su Mingzhe's uncle. When Xu Xiao conquered the Imperial City of Western Shu, he was trampled to a pulp by the Northern Liang cavalry.
The tragic death of Sword Emperor Su Mao ranked among the top three in the national wars of the Spring and Autumn Period for hundreds of years!
Therefore, after the fall of Xishu, Lao Huang took the blood feud with his master and went to Beiliang, hoping to avenge Xu Xiao.
Before leaving, he gave the sword code that Sui Xiegu had given to the Sword Emperor Su Mao and left it to brothers Su Su and Su Mingzhe.
At this moment, hearing Lao Huang's inquiry, Su Mingzhe smiled gently and said:
"Uncle Master, I not only learned the Sword Code of my ancestor, but also introduced new ones and created a unique "Tai Chi Sword Code". I will practice it for Uncle Master later!"
Su Mingzhe felt a little comforted when he saw Lao Huang's excited expression.
Although Lao Huang has been an old servant in the Northern Liang Palace for twenty years, his heart still belongs to Western Shu.
That's good!
very good!
Lao Huang and Su Mingzhe exchanged some greetings about their current situation, and finally the topic turned to old events.
"Uncle Master, when we left Xishu and went to Beimang, was it your idea or Xu Xiao's?"
Smart people always speak concisely and to the point.
Seeing that Su Mingzhe didn't ask why he was working in Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Lao Huang directly asked another important point, his face slightly embarrassed:
"Your Highness, when I went to assassinate Xu Xiao, it failed. The king of Northern Liang, Xu Xiao, promised that as long as he allowed you to move to Beimang, let's forget the past."
"Then, you want to be a slave in Beiliang Prince's Mansion, right?"
Su Mingzhe sighed, and looked at Lao Huang with a more grateful look, and at the same time looked at Xu Fengnian with a more murderous look.
The "Sword Nine Yellow" yellow formation diagram that was once famous all over the world was willing to serve as a slave in the enemy's family for twenty years in order to protect the heirs of its former owner.
In the past twenty years, how many people have known about Lao Huang's loyalty, how submissive he lived, and how depressed and melancholy he was.
Looking at Su Mingzhe's grateful eyes, Lao Huang wanted to deny it, but after the two looked at each other, he knew that this matter could not be concealed, so in the end he could only smile bitterly and said:
"yes."
After admitting the past, the heavy thoughts that had accumulated in Lao Huang's heart for twenty years were suddenly released:
"Although I have been a slave to my enemy for twenty years, it is worth it in the end to gain such great love from His Highness!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
When he heard Lao Huang admit it himself, the murderous look in Su Mingzhe's eyes dimmed.
As the old saying goes, if you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry.
Twenty years ago, Xu Xiao attacked Xishu. The Sword Emperor Sumao was trampled to a pulp, an army of 60,000 was burned to the ground, and nearly a million Xishu people died tragically.
Such an unforgettable hatred between the country and the family is inherently irreconcilable.
Now that Lao Huang is being forced into slavery, the hatred is getting deeper and deeper.
However, Su Mingzhe was not in a hurry to cause trouble for Xu Xiao.
After entering the mountain temple, Xu Fengnian, who had been silent all the time, noticed the murderous look in Su Mingzhe's eyes, felt a chill down his spine, and shivered uncontrollably all over his body.
Seeing Su Mingzhe's expression changing and looking at him from time to time, Xu Fengnian was just a playboy at this time, how could he bear such heavy murderous intent.
Unable to help being frightened, he laughed and said:
"Your Highness, if you want to kill Xu Xiao, just go and kill him. It has nothing to do with me. In fact, my relationship with Xu Xiao is not good, and I want to kill him too!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"
Su Mingzhe glanced at Xu Fengnian coldly. In the eyes of outsiders, this guy was a pure playboy, similar to Jia Baoyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions".
In fact, Xu Fengnian was not only the reincarnation of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and Emperor Zhenwu, but in this life, he also gathered the remaining fortunes of the Six Kingdoms, Jianghu, and major aristocratic families.
As long as the situation meets, Xu Fengnian will be able to leap over the dragon gate and reach the top of the world in one fell swoop.
Knowing Xu Fengnian's situation, Su Mingzhe was not in a hurry to cause trouble for him. Instead, he said in a cold tone, word by word:
"Xu Fengnian, your father Xu Xiao ordered eight hundred Northern Liang cavalry to trample my uncle into a pulp!"
"He killed my father with his own hands and forced my mother and concubine to commit suicide!"
"The hatred of destroying the country and destroying the family, the hatred of killing the father and killing the mother, the hatred is irreconcilable!"
"It would be too easy for you to kill you in this wilderness now!"
Su Mingzhe took the initiative to merge the original owner's memory and inherited his hatred for Beiliang.
When he said these words at this moment, the powerful aura from his body was released, instantly oppressing Xu Fengnian's chest and making him feel congested, making him unable to breathe.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe's powerful momentum was only released for a moment and then restrained.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can't take advantage of me!"
Xu Fengnian has not yet undergone transformation, at least he still thinks that he is a playboy.
Seeing Su Mingzhe reveal his murderous intention and almost frightening himself to death, Xu Fengnian felt that he was about to pee with fear, his face turned as gray as dirt, and his eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.
Seeing his appearance, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but reveal a contemptuous smile:
"Xu Fengnian, although I won't kill you today, it is only right that a father's debt be repaid by his son."
"Your father Xu Xiao has two sons and two daughters. Apart from you, your sister Xu Zhihu is married to Lu Qinquan, the son of Lu Xuanlang, a Confucian semi-sage in Yangzhou, Jiangnan. Your second sister Xu Weixiong is studying at Shangyin Academy."
"Your father asked my uncle to serve as a slave in your Beiliang Prince's Palace for twenty years. I will capture your two sisters as my slaves, and they two sisters will repay the father's debt together!"
"This is called tit for tat, the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant!"
Su Mingzhe said, laughed loudly, stood up, and was ready to implement his revenge plan.
Xu Fengnian's expression changed drastically when he heard that, and he immediately stood up to intercept him, asking Su Mingzhe to use whatever means he could to him, so as not to hurt his two sisters.
Lao Huang didn't wait for Xu Fengnian to speak, and stopped Su Mingzhe first, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes, and a bit of pleading in his voice:
"Your Highness, the injustice has its origin and the debt has its owner. Now that you have achieved success in cultivation and have become a first-class master, you can just go to Xu Xiao to avenge yourself. There is no need to go to two women to avenge you, right?"
"Uncle Master, you don't have to persuade me!"
Su Mingzhe knew that Lao Huang had lived in Beiliang Prince's Mansion for twenty years and had watched Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong grow up, so he must have a certain emotional foundation.
Therefore, in the face of Lao Huang's dissuasion, Su Mingzhe was not angry. Instead, he explained to him:
"Uncle Master, there is a saying in the art of war: 'A soldier who subjugates the enemy without fighting is a good person. Therefore, the first is to attack the enemy's strategy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city.'"
"When I go to seek revenge from Xu Xiao, it will definitely be the time when I restore my kingdom to Xishu!"
"However, I cannot let Xu Xiao continue to sit comfortably on his throne of Northern Liang until I return to Western Shu!"
"Therefore, it is imperative to capture Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong to combat Xu Xiao's arrogance."
Lao Huang still wanted to persuade him, but Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand to stop him and continued:
"Uncle Master, you don't have to persuade me to talk about 'a gentleman's benevolence, justice and morality' or 'no harm will come to his family'!"
"Back then, when Xu Xiao destroyed the Six Kingdoms, in order to break through the fortified city, he captured the wives, children, and children of the generals who were defending the city, and slaughtered them on the battlefield to frighten and confuse the generals who were defending the city!"
"I'm going to catch Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong now just to imitate Xu Xiao!"
"We can't just allow him, Xu Xiao, to set the fire, and not allow me to light the lamp!"
Su Mingzhe said, without saying any more nonsense, he immediately threw out his sword and flew towards Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lao Huang watched Su Mingzhe flying away with his sword, and there was no time to intercept him, and he suddenly felt bitter secretly:
"It's broken! His Highness is already able to fly with a sword, and his strength is at least in the Xuan realm, or even in the Celestial realm! I don't know if the Confucian half-sage of the Jiangnan Lu family can protect the eldest lady!"
"Flying? He flew?"
Xu Fengnian, who had never seen a first-class master before, was dumbfounded at this moment:
"Old Huang, am I dazzled, or am I dreaming? Did that...that third prince just fly?"
"Yes, it flew."
Lao Huang did not deal with his own dandy prince like he did in the past. Instead, he sighed and said:
"Master, you should learn martial arts. You won't suffer any disadvantages if you learn martial arts, and you won't be fooled if you learn martial arts..."
Xu Fengnian, the dandy prince, heard the horseman Lao Huang start chanting sutras again, and immediately waved his hands irritably:
"Old Huang, can you fly?"
"Well, I know a little bit!"
Lao Huang nodded shyly.
His realm refers to the mysterious realm, and he can barely fly, but the flying distance is not very far.
"Then fly one and show it to me!"
Xu Fengnian seemed a little disbelieving, or a little curious, and looked at his groom, Lao Huang, with bright eyes.
"Master, I can't fly far, I can only fly so far."
As Lao Huang said, he stretched out his hand and gestured forward.
As for his gesture, I don't know if Xu Fengnian can understand how far it is.
However, Xu Fengnian had already taken the initiative to skip this topic and turned around to ask the next question:
"Is that man just now really the third prince of Xishu? Will he go find trouble for my eldest and second sisters?"
This time, Lao Huang answered honestly:
"He is really the third prince of Xishu...and he will indeed go to trouble your eldest and second sisters!"
"Then will my eldest sister and my second sister be in danger? Can the Jiangnan Lu family and Shangyin Academy protect my eldest sister and my second sister?"
Xu Fengnian's question made Lao Huang a little unsure of how to answer it. After thinking for a while, he explained:
"Master, there are many old monsters in the Shangyin Academy where the second young lady is located. They should be able to protect the second young lady."
"As for the eldest lady, there is some danger there. There is only one Confucian Half-Saint in the Lu family in Jiangnan, and his cultivation level is above the first level. If the Lu family uses all their strength, they may be able to protect the eldest lady, otherwise..."
"Doesn't that mean that my eldest sister will be in danger?"
When Xu Fengnian heard this, he immediately became anxious:
"We need to tell Xu Xiao the news as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to rescue my eldest sister!"
