In the Snow: The Prince of Beiliang Rebelled at the Beginning

Chapter 402: Continue Southward

Wang Qiang drank it in one gulp. This was his habit, especially when he was drinking with people he thought were very nice. Obviously, at this moment, Wang Qiang had already regarded Xu Fengnian and Hong Xixiang as opportunists, and he was happy in his heart, so he drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this situation, Xu Fengnian, Hong Xixiang, and Huang Maner, who was always taciturn, stared at Wang Qiang with their eyes wide open.

"Cough, cough, cough," Wang Qiang drank a bowl of wine and immediately covered his mouth, then kept coughing and stuck out his tongue, "Oh my goodness, what kind of wine is this?"

“Not only is it strong, it also has a bitter taste.”

"Is this wine suitable for human consumption? This is the worst wine I have ever drunk in my life."

Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "How is it? Can't stand it? This is the characteristic of our Beiliang."

"Everyone here can eat a big pot."

"I'll also tell you that in our Beiliang wine shop, as long as you spend some money, the boss will generously give you wine. It's not for anything else, just to let you know that we Beiliang have this kind of special wine."

"Of course, this wine is not as good as the imperial wine, and even the wines of those winemakers outside are not as good as it, but for an ordinary person who is tired, a sip of wine can relieve stress and make him energetic all day long."

"In other words, this wine actually prolongs life."

Seeing Wang Qiang's expression, Fairy Silver Moon took a sip herself, and then started complaining.

Wang Qiang hesitated after hearing this. He stared at Xu Fengnian and Hong Xixiang and asked, "Do you two drink often?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Of course."

Hong Xixiang said: "At first, I didn't like it either, but I got used to it. It's actually not bad, it's quite mellow."

"It's much more mellow than those on the market."

"At least this kind of wine won't be adulterated."

Wang Qiang nodded, understanding it, and said with a smile: "It looks the same everywhere!"

“No one can escape fake wine.”

"It's just that the more you are in a place like this, the more you can drink real wine. After drinking too much fake wine, you will find real wine unpalatable. You even think that real wine should be discarded..."

"You said this, it's really laughable."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Silver Moon also laughed and said, "Isn't it just a drink? Why are you lamenting about life here?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Fairy, let me ask you, are you comfortable in the upper realm?"

Fairy Silver Moon heard this and was embarrassed to answer the question, which should have been easy for her to answer. She frowned and said, "This question is very serious. Let's change it."

Xu Fengnian did not force Fairy Silver Moon, but continued to ask the next question, "Do you have any close friends in the upper realm?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Silver Moon shook her head without hesitation:

"No."

Wang Qiang was not surprised at all.

Instead, there was a smile on his face.

Xu Fengnian looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, "He doesn't count?"

Fairy Silver Moon said with a smile: "Him? At most, he is just my confidante."

"Close friend? Not really."

"Besides, I don't need so many close friends. Occasionally, I can just hang out with a few friends, drink some wine, or do some other entertainment activities. That's the daily life in the upper realm. Naturally, I won't work as hard as you do in the human world..."

Xu Fengnian asked curiously: "So, in the upper realm, all immortals are treated like this?"

Fairy Silver Moon shook her head: "Of course not."

"Heaven has its own rules. Isn't this normal? Is there a problem with this?"

"In my opinion, there is no difference between the human world and heaven. There is just a boundary in between, but the rules are the same."

Xu Fengnian sighed and said with a smile: "So, you don't know the sufferings of the world."

"In my opinion, you guys are just high and mighty immortals, and then you are nothing."

"This is why so many people hate you, because you really don't do anything, but you always have only one attitude towards them, taking whatever you want."

"I have really seen some things clearly, so I am willing to stay in the human world. I don't want to see the immortals in the sky continue to oppress the people below."

Wang Qiang said nothing.

Fairy Silver Moon seemed to be lost in thought as well, but she neither refuted nor answered. Instead, she drank a few more sips of wine in silence, and she didn't even mind that the wine was bitter and unpalatable.

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Look, this isn't what the wine feels like, is it actually just like that?"

"No matter how bitter the wine is, can it make life more bitter?"

"Many people seem to be glamorous, but in fact their lives are a mess."

"Perhaps... there is a destiny in the universe. Just like what you immortals believe in, but you have always been following one thing, which is to be yourself, and to be yourself to the extreme."

"..."

Fairy Silver Moon seemed silent.

now.

Wang Qiang said with a smile: "Come on, let's drink, let's not talk about these heavy topics. Hey, we have a deal that we won't go home until we are drunk today."

Fairy Silver Moon was a little depressed.

Xu Fengnian and Hong Xixiang didn't say much, but started drinking with Wang Qiang.

It seems to be at this very moment.

The entire tavern became quiet, but also peaceful.

The owner of the tavern even brought them some green ant wine, telling them they could drink as much as they wanted. There was plenty of green ant wine here.

Even Wang Qiang, who was in high spirits after drinking, gave the boss a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Boss, you are so generous!"

******

The next day, Wang Qiang and Fairy Silver Moon continued to travel south and did not stay in Beiliang. This was beyond everyone's expectations and surprised Xu Xiao.

At this time, in the Beiliang Palace.

Xu Fengnian, Hong Xixiang, Huang Maner, as well as Xu Zhihu, Xu Wexiong, Xu Xiao and others gathered in the dining hall.

This could be considered a family dinner, and Xu Ping'an was the only one absent.

Xu Xiao said with a smile: "To be honest, I haven't had dinner with you guys for a long time. It's still so complete. I'm very happy in my heart."

"Seeing that you have all become successful, I am very happy in my heart. The only thing missing is Ping An. He is now alone in Tai'an City, and his life is harder than ours."

"I'm still worried about him. He can't handle those things. And those immortals in the sky, anyway, I don't understand. Well, what you see is what you get. As an old man, I can only see those things in front of me. As for the rest, I really can't do anything."

During the dinner, everyone looked at Xu Xiao, and felt that it was not surprising that Xu Xiao expressed such emotion at this moment. After all, the world has changed now.

It became Xu Ping'an's possession. Although he had not yet become emperor, he was already an emperor.

The Xu family is actually already a royal family.

Xu Fengnian glanced at Xu Xiao and asked, "Dad, my eldest brother said that you should go to Tai'an City again."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'd better stay in Beiliang. It's so nice here. I have my brothers and most of my life here. Here, I can sit safely. There, I'm worried every moment!"

"I appreciate your brother's kindness, but I just want to stay here and guard this place."

"You guys! Just live your own lives, and I, as your father, will feel at ease."

Hearing this, everyone in the room felt depressed. After all, Xu Xiao was a man who always meant what he said and was never shy about it.

"Dad, don't worry too much. We are doing well now, aren't we? Xi Xiang and I will come to see you often in the future."

Xu Zhihu said.

Huang Man'er said, "Dad, wait until I go north. When I come back, I will stay at home with my daughter-in-law to look after you."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Huang Maner curiously.

Xu Fengnian asked: "Huang Maner, are you really going?"

Huang Maner nodded, "I want to go and see it too."

Xu Weixiong glanced at Xu Xiao and said, "Dad, did you do this on purpose?"

Xu Xiao chuckled.

Everyone in the Beiliang Palace, there is only one person who makes them feel scared, and that is the second sister Xu Weixiong.

Everyone looked at Xu Weixiong to see what she wanted to say, but after a long while, Xu Weixiong said, "Let's eat."

Xu Zhihu stared at Xu Weixiong with a smile and asked, "Weixiong!"

"Isn't it time for you to think about your life?"

"I think Chen Zhibao from Beiliang is pretty good. Although I don't like him very much, I think he is a good match for you."

Xu Weixiong glanced coldly at Xu Zhihu, who also laughed.

Obviously.

The two are about to confront each other again.

Seeing this scene, Xu Fengnian hurriedly stood up and said that he was full, and did not forget to pull Hong Xixiang to go with him.

Huang Man'er liked to follow Xu Fengnian the most, and when she saw the two of them leaving, she thought there was going to be another fight, so she followed them happily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Xiao also stood up and said very naturally: "Hey, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest first. I'm old, really old, and I can't bear as much as before."

Hear the words.

Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong also withdrew their gazes and lowered their heads, seeming a little embarrassed.

After a long moment, Xu Zhihu looked at Xu Weixiong and said, "Weixiong! I'm leaving now."

Hearing this, Xu Weixiong was stunned.

Xu Zhihu smiled and said, "Over the years, you and I have always quarreled. I know you must blame me, right?"

Xu Weixiong said coldly: "I have never blamed anyone."

Xu Zhihu smiled and said, "No matter whether you have blamed me or not, I want to tell you that I am sorry."

"It's not that I'm being hypocritical. But sometimes, things have reached the point where they have to be said, so I have to speak out. You know what kind of person I am. I just can't tolerate any sand in my mouth. I say whatever I want to say. Everyone thinks that people like me are easy to get along with, but in fact, people like me are the most difficult to get along with."

"In fact, you know this better than me, don't you?"

Xu Weixiong turned his head away, as if he didn't want to listen to Xu Zhihu's nagging, but he didn't mean to leave either. Instead, he listened to Xu Zhihu silently, like a serious listener. Even Xu Weixiong, who usually liked to interrupt and even talk back to Xu Zhihu, was gone.

It seems like at this moment.

Even Xu Weixiong's personality seemed to have changed.

Xu Zhihu continued, "What I'm going to say next may sound a bit nagging, but I have to say it. It's really uncomfortable to keep it in my heart, so I have to speak it out. So, here, you are my only loyal listener. I don't want others to feel too sad."

Hearing this, Xu Weixiong frowned slightly and stared at Xu Zhihu.

Xu Zhihu continued, "I know this is not fair to you, because you have to bear all the consequences of what I said."

"It's just that you are the strongest woman I have ever met. We are sisters. Over the years, whether in the mansion or in the eyes of outsiders, we have always been at odds with each other in front of the world. To be honest, I really hope that this situation will continue as long as I have a reason to live."

"You are the person I trust the most. If I leave, I hope you can take care of them."

Xu Weixiong was stunned.

She didn't even ask why.

But he nodded.

When Xu Zhihu saw Xu Weixiong nod, he also laughed and said, "I knew you weren't the kind of person with a heart of stone!"

"It's just... after I leave, no one will understand you."

"You have to... take care!"

Xu Weixiong felt a pang of pain in his nose when he heard this. He then stood up and bowed to Xu Zhihu, "Goodbye!"

Xu Zhihu did not stand up to see him off, but sat alone in the dining hall, with ripples in his eyes.

murmured:

"gone!"

"I have to leave eventually!"

"Some people and some things, eventually you have to say goodbye."

Xu Zhihu slowly stood up. At this moment, a figure slowly came over and held Xu Zhihu's arm. When the latter saw the person coming, he smiled and said softly:

"Little Taoist priest, you won't blame me, right?"

Standing next to him was Hong Xixiang from Wudang Mountain.

Hearing this, Hong Xixiang shook his head and said, "No wonder!"

"You have your choice, but...Xu Ping'an has sent a letter from Tai'an City, saying that he will arrive in Wudang in the next few days."

"It seems that he already knows your choice."

Xu Zhihu smiled bitterly and said, "You are the only one in this world who truly understands me. However, my brother, I haven't said anything, but he seems to know everything. Sometimes I..."

Before Xu Zhihu could finish, Hong Xixiang interrupted her and said, "I didn't tell him."

Xu Zhihu smiled and said, "I know you are not that kind of person. Besides, I came back this time just to take a last look at you."

"How could he not know this when he is so far away in Tai'an City?"

"Tell him not to come back. I have my life and he has his way. At this time, if you can't get away, don't get away. Who knows, those immortals up there might want to take this opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Hong Xixiang shook his head and said, "They dare."

Xu Zhihu held Hong Xixiang's hand tightly, with a pleading look in his eyes, "I don't know what you want to do, but I believe in you. Everything is for the best."

Hong Xixiang was shocked.

Xu Zhihu continued, "The one riding a bull. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, we still got what we wanted, but it was hard for you."

And this day.

Wang Qiang and Fairy Silver Moon continued to move south.
