The maid knocked on the door, and the servant inside heard the sound and peeped through the crack in the door.
Finding that it was Bai Libing and Li Xinan again, the servant immediately entered the room to report.
Hu Feiyang was currently in the backyard instructing his youngest son in martial arts.
The eldest son Hu Fei was selected to practice in Longxing Valley. Long Chen sneaked in and wiped out everyone. Hu Fei also died.
The youngest son, Hu Chun, was only twelve years old and was not old enough to go to war. Several wars had not affected him, so he was still alive.
"Practice fists and kicks first, then weapons. Weapons are an extension of fists and kicks. If you know how to use fists and kicks, you will know how to use weapons."
Hu Feiyang sat on the stone bench and said while pointing.
The younger son Hu Chun's eyes widened with anger, and every punch he punched was very powerful.
The servant rushed in from outside and reported: "Master, Baili Bing is here again."
Hearing that Baili Bing was here again, his youngest son Hu Chun stopped and cursed: "They killed my brother and dared to ask my father to be an official. I will kill them!"
Hu Chun grabbed the big knife on the shelf and rushed out.
Hu Feiyang scolded: "Put it down and practice hard!"
Hu Chun held the knife, his eyes full of hatred, but he did not move forward.
Hu Feiyang's words must be listened to, and Hu Chun dare not make any mistakes.
Hu Feiyang sat on the stone bench and thought for a long time, then slowly got up and walked to the front yard.
Hu Chun watched Hu Feiyang go out with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Arriving at the front yard, Hu Feiyang said: "Open the door and go to the living room."
The servant was also surprised. Hu Feiyang had always refused, so why was he suddenly willing to meet him this time?
Not daring to ask any more questions, the servant immediately opened the far door and saw Baili Bing standing at the door, with Li Xiannan beside him looking impatient.
"Is General Hu here?"
Baili Bing asked with a smile.
Nanliang was destroyed, but Baili Bing was still treated as a general. This was a sign of respect.
The servant knew that Baili Bing was the minister and held a high position, so he respectfully replied: "The master is at home. I would like to invite you to the living room for a chat."
Li Xiannan was slightly surprised that Hu Feiyang was actually willing to meet him today?
Baili Bing smiled and said, "Please lead the way."
The servant led the way, followed by Bai Libing and Li Xiannan, followed by several maids.
These maids are all masters, disguised as followers for protection.
Baili Bing visited several times, showing his sincerity.
But you must be on guard against others. You cannot come in unprepared. It is absolutely not advisable to trust others easily.
When they arrived at the living room, Hu Feiyang stood at the door, which surprised Baili Bing.
It’s great if you’re willing to meet, but you’re still greeting guests at the door?
"General Hu."
Baili Bing saluted with a smile, and Hu Feiyang returned the salute: "Shang Shu Baili, please have a seat. General Li, please have a seat."
Li Xiannan raised his hand behind him as a greeting.
Soldiers are not as polite as civil servants. Li Xiannan and Hu Feiyang fought before and they had a grudge.
Hu Feiyang sat down at the main seat, Bai Libing and Li Xiannan took their seats on the left, and the maid stood behind him.
The servant served tea, Baili Bing thanked him, put the tea aside, and neither of them drank it.
"Thank you, General Hu, for meeting me. I am here today to invite the general to serve."
Baili Bing got straight to the point without any nonsense.
I have been here several times, but the purpose is the same every time. Hu Feiyang also knows that there is no need to be polite.
Hu Feiyang was silent for a while and said: "Shang Shu Baili no longer needs to be called a general, he is just a minister who has subjugated his country."
"I was originally one of the Five Tigers of Liang Dynasty. The country is in ruins. It would be a shame for me not to die for the country. How can I enter the court and serve as an official again?"
Nanliang had just been destroyed. If Hu Feiyang entered the court and became an official so soon, he would indeed be scolded as having no bones.
Baili Bing smiled and said: "After the fall of Xixia, almost all the officials in the court came back to serve as officials."
"Many of Nanliang's old ministers have returned to serve as officials. Why should General Hu dwell on the past?"
Hu Feiyang smiled bitterly and said: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty won, so Baili Shangshu said this. If the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was defeated and Daliang annexed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, would Baili Shangshu be willing to become an official?"
Baili Bing laughed dryly, not wanting to answer this question.
"The Holy Emperor and King Wu both think highly of General Hu, so they asked General Hu to come back."
"Although loyal ministers do not serve the two masters, and valiant women do not serve the two husbands, Nanliang is gone. Will General Hu's martial arts be wasted?"
Hu Feiyang himself also knew what Baili Bing said.
That day at the foot of Linjiang City, Long Chen knocked down dozens of generals with one move.
After being captured, Long Chen did not kill them, but locked them in a secret room and announced that he had been executed.
This is to protect Hu Feiyang, Qiu Kuohai and others.
If Li Chengdao knew that they were not dead, he would definitely kill their families.
So, from this aspect, Long Chen saved Hu Feiyang's family, and Hu Feiyang owed Long Chen a favor.
"I still have to think about my official career. I have something to trouble Baili Shangshu today."
Hu Feiyang's tone was not so firm and showed signs of loosening.
Baili Bing asked: "What's the matter with General Hu?"
Hu Feiyang said: "I...I want to go to the north."
Baili Bing asked: "The North is now the place where the ghost tribe belongs. Winter snow is coming soon, and there is thousands of miles of ice there. What are you doing in the North?"
Li Xiannan interjected and mocked: "You want to find Li Chengdao, right? Give up, you won't find him, he will follow the ghost."
"You know what happened a while ago, right? He and Guitai attacked Yanmen Pass, and everyone was killed, including business travelers. The method was extremely cruel."
"He is no longer your emperor, he is Gui Fei's lackey!"
Hu Feiyang said angrily: "Li Xiannan, you are not allowed to insult my lord!"
Li Xiannan sneered: "Are you going to be the ghost's lackey too?"
Hu Feiyang was so angry that Baili Bing immediately stopped him and said, "What General Hu said, I must report to His Majesty and wait for His Majesty's decree."
"That's it for today. Let's talk about it next time."
If they continue talking, the two will start to fight, so Baili Bing leaves quickly.
Li Xiannan snorted coldly, Baili Bing walked out, and Hu Feiyang sat in the living room without seeing the guests off.
After traveling far away, Li Xiannan mocked: "A man who has subjugated his country, what kind of emperor is my lord? That's bullshit!"
Baili Bing advised: "You just said it well, why are you mocking him?"
The carriage slowly walked towards the garrison, and Li Xiannan said: "He is going to the north. He obviously has bad intentions. It is best to kill such a person. Keeping him will be a disaster."
Baili Bing said: "I have to report this matter, so don't talk about it."
After the people left, Hu Feiyang sat in the living room silently. Bayi Chinese website
Mrs. Liu walked in and said, "What's wrong? Why did they suddenly get into a fight?"
The sound just now was very loud, and Mrs. Liu heard it from the side.
Hu Feiyang shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just got angry and went to visit my old enemy."
Mrs. Liu immediately asked her servants to prepare horses, and Hu Feiyang rode out.
Walking on the street, the common people, merchants and travelers were busy with their own affairs, and the demise of Nanliang seemed to have nothing to do with them.
After Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan took over Jinling, they abolished exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. People who had no food or rice could still go to the garrison to receive relief. The people were very grateful to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, this is thanks to the ghost's misbehavior.
When the ghost was in the palace, he killed people randomly, captured young men, and robbed food. The officials and servants below him did all kinds of evil.
After the chaos, after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty took over, life seemed to be very good and the people were happy.
Hu Feiyang sighed secretly in his heart, walked a few streets, and dismounted in front of Qiu Kuohai Gate.
After knocking on the door, the servant saw that it was Hu Feiyang and immediately opened the door and fetched the horse.
"Master Hu, please."
Servants do not address themselves as generals, only as masters.
Hu Feiyang walked in, and Qiu Kuohai came out to greet him wearing a commoner suit.
"How come you have time to come to my place?"
Qiu Kuohai walked out with a smile.
Hu Feiyang said: "I'll discuss some things with you."
Qiu Kuohai's smile faded and he said, "It's said inside."
The two of them entered the study and closed the door.
