Xu Zhihu finally couldn't maintain that calmness, she covered her mouth and cried and laughed, then grabbed Xu Fengnian, buried her head in his arms and sobbed.

She had waited too long for this day, and she had waited too long for this sentence, but fortunately, she finally heard it in her lifetime.

Li Fei winked at Xu Weixiong, and the two moved sideways together.

After making a gap, he beckoned to take a Maza from the deck, opened it and placed it beside Xu Zhihu, and smiled at Hong Xixiang: "What are you doing in a daze? Come and sit!"

Hong Xixiang hurriedly bowed to Li Fei, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

……

On the shore of the East China Sea, Zhao Kai and Han Shengxuan stood opposite each other.

Zhao Kai looked downcast, and said: "Master, he not only has Li Chungang and Zhao Xuansu by his side, but now he also has Deng Tai'a, there is no one in the world who can kill him."

Han Shengxuan smiled and said: "I know, so I found another way out for you, a way without killing Xu Fengnian."

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What way?"

Han Sheng said: "Go to Xishu."

Zhao Kai looked at him puzzled, "Xishu?"

Han Sheng said: "Cao Changqing and Princess Xichu have arrived in Shu, and the remnants of Chu are about to move. The court believes that there will be chaos in Shu."

Zhao Kai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is this an opportunity?"

Han Shengxuan nodded and said, "Exactly, the imperial court needs someone to go to Sichuan to quell the chaos."

Zhao Kai said in astonishment, "Could it be me?"

Han Shengxuan smiled and asked, "Who else?"

Zhao Kai was puzzled and said, "But... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be my turn to do this kind of thing!"

Han Shengxuan smiled a little bit, and said: "Xu Xiao can't go, if Xishu returns to Beiliang, everyone in the world will have the surname Xu."

Zhao Kai said, "Where's Gu Jiantang?"

Han Sheng said: "Your Majesty dare not let this tiger out of the mountain, so Gu Jiantang is very knowledgeable and informed of his illness. The commander of Xishu must be someone your Majesty trusts."

Zhao Kai said: "Then there are several other princes?"

"Hehehe..." Han Shengxuan chuckled a few times, and said with a bit of complacency: "Those few, who is willing to die with Cao Changqing?"

"Hesitation, hesitation, fear, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have taken this errand of going to Xishu to fight the chaos for you."

Speaking of this, he took out a scroll of imperial decree from his bosom, handed it to Zhao Kai, and said, "This is Your Majesty's secret decree."

Zhao Kai looked at the imperial decree in Han Shengxuan's hand, his face showed disbelief, but his heart was uneasy, and he even had a bit of resentment towards this great master.

If he hadn't insisted on letting him assassinate Xu Fengnian in the first place, how could he be controlled by Li Fei?

If there was no such thing, this would really be regarded as his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But now, not to mention just commanding soldiers, even the imperial decree to make him the crown prince can't make him feel the slightest disturbance.

He either becomes emperor or dies, there is no third way to go.

But the play has to go on, otherwise, let alone the throne, I'm afraid he will be wiped out in an instant.

He took the imperial decree with trembling hands and hugged it tightly in his arms, looking excited.

Han Shengxuan understood his emotions very well, so he didn't say anything, but let him digest the good news.

After a while, Zhao Kai forced himself to calm down, and said: "But Cao Zhangqing is not easy to deal with, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to calm the chaos."

Han Shengxuan said calmly: "It's okay, I will accompany you westward, and more importantly, why do you have to be an enemy of Cao Changqing? Let me ask you, what is the ultimate goal of the Chu people?"

Zhao Kai said thoughtfully, "Go home?"

Han Shengxuan nodded and said, "That's right, hiding in Shu is only a stopgap measure. When Cao Changqing and the princess of Western Chu gather up the old troops, they will definitely leave Western Shu and return to Chu."

"At that time, there will be no one in Xishu, and you will be in charge of the military, and it will be justifiable. At that time...you will be the new king of Xishu."

Zhao Kai lowered his head slightly, and said with a look of anxiety on his face, "I'm afraid that if there is an imperial decree, I will take back my military power."

Han Shengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Would you accept such a decree?"

Zhao Kai suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and a smile gradually melted on his face, "Of course not. After I control Shu, the next step is to develop in Nanzhao."

"When Nanzhao and Xishu become one, I will have the foundation to aspire to the Central Plains. At worst, I will be an unshakable king of Shu."

Han Shengxuan said with great comfort: "It is not in vain that I have taught you for so many years to see this step."

Zhao Kai bowed to Han Shengxuan and said, "Thank you, master, for grasping such a good opportunity for me."

Han Shengxuan helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "No need to say more, we will rush to Xishu immediately."

Xishu and Nanzhao are the southwest territory of the land of Shenzhou. They are exactly one south and one north north of Beiliang in the northwest, forming a corner, occupying the west of the entire dynasty, which is one-third of the country.

The southwest is densely covered with mountains, the roads are difficult to walk, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In fact, it has a more geographical advantage than Beiliang.

Northern Liang relies on the sturdy and unparalleled iron cavalry to maintain its status completely by hard power, but the Southwest can resist countless enemies by relying on geographical advantages.

Even the 35 iron cavalry in Beiliang are useless in the southwest mountainous area. They can't even run horses, so they are not as good as infantry.

You only need to send troops to guard the main roads into Shu, and then develop silently within the [-] mountains to accumulate strength. When the soldiers have enough food, they can rush out of the mountains and compete in the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that Xishu does not have to face the threat of the great enemy of Beimang at any time like Beiliang, so it can develop with peace of mind.

All in all, as long as he does not leave Shu, he is the unshakable King of Shu. Once he leaves Shu, it means that his wings are full and his soldiers are strong. Who else should he be afraid of?

Therefore, the Southwest, which is rich in natural resources and easy to defend but difficult to attack, is actually more suitable for the development of power than the barren and desolate Northwest, which is flat and flat.

And if Xishu and Beiliang were allied together, then needless to say, they would be able to fight against Liyang directly, and even overwhelm Liyang, forming a three-legged confrontation.

Han Shengxuan took Zhao Kai and rode westward by land, because Xu Fengnian and his party left by boat, so Han Shengxuan didn't think about this issue at all.

In the original plot, he took Zhao Kai around, and went around many circles, just to get rid of possible surveillance and tracking.

At the same time, he also dispatched a large number of people to keep an eye on Xu Fengnian and his party who were returning west by land, and keep track of their whereabouts at any time, but he has not done so now.

Although Zhao Kai participated in the assassination of Xu Fengnian, he did not show up and was only planning in secret, which Han Shengxuan was very satisfied with.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, in his opinion, Zhao Kai is a person with a destiny, so naturally he cannot put himself in danger.

He thought that Xu Fengnian didn't know the existence of Zhao Kai, so there was no reason for conflict with Xu Fengnian, and Xu Fengnian should not take action against them.

He never dreamed that this apprentice who he wholeheartedly assisted, only to help him ascend to the top position, would be a rebellious boy.

This is a typical "Why did your Majesty rebel?" Going to Xishu seems to be a broad road, but it is actually a dead end.

So when they arrived at a riverside and saw Xu Fengnian drinking tea waiting for them, Han Shengxuan's mind was full of confusion.

He couldn't figure out why this situation happened.

They obviously left by boat, and it stands to reason that they should have entered the river section of the Huzhou border at this moment. How did they cross hundreds of miles without making a sound, and suddenly appear here?

Xu Fengnian's posture at this time was no different from Zhang Julu's posture when he gave Xu Xiao a prestige outside the capital.

On the edge of the flat river beach, a coffee table was placed on the spot, and a heavy armchair was placed beside it.

Xu Fengnian crossed his legs and sat alone on the grand master's chair, drinking tea contentedly.

Not far away, there was a Xuanyuanlou boat parked on the river, and a group of people stood at the bow, watching quietly.

At this time, Hong Xixiang and Xu Zhihu were no longer on the boat, they had already headed to the capital by crane to take Liu Haoshi's life.

Li Fei used a gourd to make a magic weapon to store the soul of the Yuanshen, and passed the method of storing the soul of the Yuanshen to Hong Xixiang.

His mission is to kill Master Liu Hao and retrieve his soul for Wu Su to practice.

Master Liu Hao has been in the Celestial Realm for more than fifty years, but after all he failed to take that step and become a land god.

Hong Xi seemed to want to kill him, but it was just a meeting, so there was nothing to talk about.

[333.Chapter 80 He no longer exists]

"Xu Fengnian? How is it possible? How can you be here?"

Zhao Kai is still acting, the master is so kind to him, he hopes that the master will not know that he betrayed him until he dies.

Otherwise, he would really feel guilty and have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.

Xu Fengnian was very face-saving and didn't expose him. He just put down his teacup leisurely and said, "I know one thing since the day Fujiang Hongjia blocked the way."

"There is a poisonous snake staring at me in the dark, ready to pounce on me at any time and inject all the poison into my body."

"Then there is Qingzhou. Based on what I know about Zhao Xun, he shouldn't do many things. It's not that he doesn't dare to do it, but that he doesn't have the brains."

"It wasn't until after the reed marsh battle that I finally learned a name from King Jing'an."

Speaking of this, he raised his eyelids to look at the two of them, and said: "Zhao Kai, the illegitimate prince, if you think about it, Fu Jiang Hongjia died in the hands of Han Diaosi, then everything will suddenly become clear."

Han Shengxuan's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "King Jing'an has formed an alliance with Beiliang?"

Xu Fengnian said: "This has nothing to do with you, the dead don't need to care about these things."

Han Shengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You want to kill us?"

Xu Fengnian said: "My brother said something, I think it makes sense."

Speaking of this, he leaned forward slightly, and paused word by word: "Those who respect others, people will always respect them, and those who kill, people will always kill them, and they all take it upon themselves."

Han Shengxuan looked at Li Chungang, Deng Tai'a, Zhao Xuansu and others at the bow of the ship in the distance, secretly fearful in his heart.

"I admit that we were wrong when we planned to kill you before, but we didn't cause actual harm to you. In a sense, we helped you."

"Now we have given up killing you, and we will never be your enemy in the future. On the contrary, we can form an alliance, and there is no need to fight to the death."

Xu Fengnian said calmly: "The fish will die, but the net may not be broken."

Han Shengxuan's face gradually darkened, and he said, "Is there really no room for change?"

Xu Fengnian stared at him, with hatred in his eyes, "Since you participated in the siege of my mother back then, it was already doomed, there is no room for change between us."

Han Shengxuan was shocked, and said in a concentrated voice: "Did the son make a mistake? When your mother was besieged, I was not in the capital."

Xu Fengnian sneered, and said: "You don't need to argue, if I didn't have sufficient evidence, why would I come here to intercept you?"

"Don't worry, Zhao Huangchao has been killed by us. Yuan Benxi, Liu Haoshi, and Yang Taisui will go down to reunite with you soon."

Listening to Xu Fengnian telling the names of those who participated in the Baiyi case, one by one, Han Shengxuan no longer had any chances.

Xu Fengnian got up slowly, clasped his hands empty, Xiudong Chunlei appeared in his hands out of thin air, looked at the bow of the boat, and said: "You don't have to be afraid of them, because they won't make a move today."

"The enmity between parents is irreconcilable. The four of us agreed to avenge each other. Zhao Huangchao belongs to my second sister. She has completed her task."

"And you are my mission. If you want to leave alive today, it's very simple. Just defeat me. They will never stop them. They will only wait for me to practice martial arts well in the future before looking for you."

Han Shengxuan felt at ease, looked at Xu Fengnian and said, "They are not afraid, you died at my hands?"

Xu Fengnian grinned and said: "You dare not kill me, because once I die, the hatred will be inherited by others. My second sister's family can kill Zhao Huangchao and kill you without any effort."

Zhao Kai murmured: "It's not fair, you can shoot without any scruples, but my master has to be careful not to beat you to death."

"Fair?" Xu Fengnian said sarcastically, "You tell me it's fair? When they besieged my mother with dozens of insiders, did they ever talk about fairness?"

Zhao Kai was speechless, Han Shengxuan turned his head slightly, and asked softly, "How powerful is Xu Weixiong?"

Zhao Kai lost his mind and said: "Xu Weixiong is quite powerful, but he is definitely not your opponent, Master, but the guy in her family is the one in the bow of the boat wearing the blue gown... he is suspected of being a heavenly being."

Han Shengxuan suddenly turned his head to look at Li Fei at the bow, his eyes flashed with astonishment, and he said in surprise: "Xu Weixiong has a man? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear any news?"

Zhao Kai said bitterly: "It should be a man who appeared out of nowhere when she returned to Beiliang last year. He seems to be called some kind of Master Spirit Sword."

Han Shengxuan turned pale with astonishment, it turned out to be Young Master Lingjian.

Last year, when Princess Sui Zhu returned to the palace, she immediately asked herself to retrieve the secret records of the inner chamber, and inquired about a man named Ten Strong Martial Gods and Master Lingjian.

He did this thing, so he also saw the file about this person at that time.

The information recorded in the file is almost like something made up in a storybook. How could there be such a god-like figure in reality?

But he is very clear that if it can be recorded in the secret record of the inner circle, it will definitely not be fake.

Unexpectedly, the man Xu Weixiong hooked up with turned out to be such a terrifying person, no wonder Zhao Huangchao would die.

"Have you confessed your last words?" Xu Fengnian slowly raised his swords, his fighting spirit began to rise, and the infinite power of heaven and earth gathered towards him.

Seeing this, Han Shengxuan said in a low voice: "When I start fighting with him, you leave immediately and try to go to Sichuan first, without waiting for me."

Zhao Kai lowered his head and said in a complicated tone, "Master, be careful."

Han Shengxuan looked at Xu Fengnian and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, I can't kill me in the mere celestial phenomena realm. Have you forgotten that what I'm best at is Xuan killing celestial phenomena?"
