Chapter 327 The family banquet is "on"!
How many people in Beimang now hope that Xu Ping'an can go north. When the time comes, all the leading figures in the martial arts world will gather together and capture Xu Ping'an in an instant.
This is Beimang’s sinister plan.
Yes.
The more it was at such a moment, the more Xu Xiao asked Xu Ping'an to be careful and not to be careless.
Otherwise, he will be the one who suffers in the end.
Xu Ping'an didn't care at all, but didn't express it. Instead, he looked out the window with a smile on his face.
a long time……
There was silence between the two.
Xu Xiao broke the silence again and continued, "This time you are going north, I know you are not going north to the Great Northern Mang, but to the Daode Sect."
Xu Ping'an did not deny Xu Xiao's guess, but nodded and said: "You are right."
"Last time in Southern Xinjiang, the contest between Yuan Qingshan and I was not over yet, but he had already returned to Daode Sect."
"If I don't take action, will it seem like I don't have any sincerity?!"
Xu Xiao didn't say anything.
Xu Pingan saw it,
He smiled at Xu Xiao and said, "Dad, I know what you are worried about. Nowadays, my cultivation level is probably unmatched in this world. If there is someone, I have to go and meet him in person. Otherwise, it would seem that I, Xu Ping'an, have no weight, right!"
Xu Xiao was stunned.
Perhaps it was because it was the first time he heard such words.
After all, with Xu Ping'an's current state of mind, he does have the capital to do so, but for him who is about to become the emperor of Li Yang, it is another matter.
This is no joke.
Maybe he was just a strong man in the martial arts world, and Beimang would not use its full strength. But now that his identity has changed, Beimang will certainly use its full strength. In this way, I am afraid that the entire Beimang will unite to deal with Xu Ping'an.
Can he really withstand an attack like that?!
the answer is negative.
After all, that’s what Xu Xiao thought in his heart.
Thinking of this.
Xu Xiao also sighed slightly and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
"You have your own path to follow, and I naturally cannot stop you. But I still say that your identity is different now."
"If you really want to go north, you must be prepared for the Northern Expedition."
"Resolve the confrontation between Beiliang and Beimang, as well as the entire Liyang and Beimang confrontation."
Xu Ping'an waved his hand and said with a smile: "Dad, don't bother. When I go north, there are indeed many people who want to kill me to eliminate future troubles, but who dares to confront me head-on? They just want to use some shameful means to deal with me. Speaking of truly powerful existences, there is only one person in Beimang who can be called a threat, and that person is Tuoba Bodhisattva, who is called the God of War by Beimang."
"Haha, I'm waiting for him to show up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken action so easily. And last time, my people killed Tuoba Bodhisattva's son on the grassland. How could he just stand by and watch this time?"
"The hatred has already solidified, so why would I be afraid of them? If they want to attack me this time, I will solve them all at once and clear the obstacles for my future journey north!"
Xu Xiao was also stunned, and asked in surprise:
"According to what you said, you have already made the decision."
"Are all the actions of Beimang now under your control?"
Xu Pingan shook his head and said, "That's not entirely true. After all, there are still powerful people in Beimang. If we want to go further, we still have to continue to go north. Otherwise, we will get nothing. Therefore, what I have to do now is to go north and lure out those who are hiding behind."
Xu Xiao opened his mouth, as if he had thought of something.
"So, you still think it's the immortals in heaven who are causing trouble?"
Xu Ping'an did not deny this idea, but he did not fully agree with it. After all, this was not just a matter of the gods in heaven, it seemed to also involve the affairs of mortals on earth, and these people had great ambitions, and they didn't even care much about the people in heaven.
However, the behavior of these people seems to have an impact on people all over the world. As for what they will do, that is secondary.
Hear the words.
Xu Pingan looked back at Xu Xiao and continued, "Dad, you don't have to worry about these things. I will do them naturally and make sure they are foolproof. I will never let them affect Beiliang or the future Xinchao."
"If these people are not dealt with, they will look for opportunities to move south when the new dynasty is established, and they may even occupy an important position in the new dynasty."
"This is a situation I don't want to see. Moreover, these people's sinister intentions may even affect the life and death of the people of the world. You don't want to see more people being slaughtered, right?"
"I don't want to see it anyway. After all, whether in war or peacetime, it's the people who suffer."
"..."
Xu Xiao was slightly startled at this moment. He seemed to have not expected Xu Ping'an to have such an idea. Logically speaking, as the prince of Beiliang, he had never been out, but such humanistic care did not seem to be able to grow in the heart of someone like Xu Ping'an, but...
Now Xu Xiao seemed to have seen another Xu Ping'an, which surprised Xu Xiao slightly, but also made him feel very comforted.
"I'm very happy that you think this way. I never thought that you could have such a compassionate heart."
"Dad, I don't believe in Buddhism, so how can I have any compassion? Besides, for people like us, is it useful to believe in Buddhism?"
"Hahahaha, this is my Xu Xiao's child. Yes, you are right. It is indeed like this."
Xu Xiao was also very happy at this moment. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, but seeing that Xu Ping'an had such a broad mind, Xu Xiao felt relieved at this moment.
At least Xu Ping'an becoming a princess of the world will not bring suffering to the people. As for what kind of king he will be in the future?
These are not what Xu Xiao should consider.
Xu Xiao smiled and said, "You really make me look at you differently. However, it is because of your opinion that I will not stop you now. However, you still have to listen to your father's words and don't go too far. After all, sometimes, if you leave some room for others, perhaps things won't be so extreme..."
"Perhaps in the future, the road will become wider and wider instead of narrower and narrower..."
Xu Ping'an bowed deeply: "Thank you for your teachings, father."
Seeing this, Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, look, what am I doing? I'm actually teaching you a lesson. How can I be qualified to do this? This is just based on experience."
"Okay, if you have time, let's have a meal together? Invite your eldest sister and second sister."
"It's been a long time since our family had a meal together. It might be nice if your brother was here too."
"By the way, your little brother is back now, but he has been cultivating himself and doesn't seem to have any intention of coming out."
Xu Pingan asked curiously, "Since you came back last time, you haven't come out again?"
Xu Xiao shook his head: "Haha, that's normal. After all, Zhao Xituan from Longhu Mountain is his master, and he chose to use himself as a trigger to fight against the thunder."
"We didn't have to do that, but the old Taoist priest insisted on doing it, and I couldn't stop him."
"Sometimes, I also feel that this world is really weird, but there is no way to stop it, or in other words, there are some things that I can't do anything about."
Xu Xiao laughed and said, "You have such feelings, which means you are still a real person. It means you still have emotions, and you are not a machine."
"Then I won't have to worry."
Xu Pingan said: "I'll go take a look."
"Maybe when he comes back this time, he will suddenly see the light."
"..."
The words fell.
Xu Xiao naturally did not stop him, but let Xu Ping'an leave.
"Hey, I hope you can persuade Huang Man'er. I am really a little worried."
"This child hasn't eaten with us for a long time."
"I don't quite understand you now. Maybe it's because I'm really old. But no matter what, Daddy hopes you're safe..."
Thinking of this.
Xu Xiao turned around and looked outside the house, saying, "Go, ask the eldest princess and the second princess to go to the dining hall tonight. The whole family will have a meal together. Everyone should come."
"Leader!"
The servants responded and left.
Not long after.
Xu Ping'an appeared in a villa, which was a villa of the Beiliang Palace. Since Xu Longxiang returned to the Beiliang Palace, he never lived in Longxiang Garden again, but practiced in this villa.
When Xu Ping'an arrived at the gate of the villa, the servants at the gate all knelt down to greet him when they saw Xu Ping'an.
Xu Ping'an raised his hand and ordered all the servants to leave.
Seeing that all the servants had left, he walked to the stone bench in the yard and sat down, crossed his legs, looked towards the wing room, and said softly:
"What? I'm back, and you don't welcome me?"
a long time……
There was no sound in the room.
It seemed that there was silence for a long time.
but,
Just as Xu Ping'an was about to continue speaking, a voice suddenly rang out from the room:
"Brother, are you back?"
next moment.
The door of the wing room opened and a young man walked out. It was Xu Longxiang who had been meditating in the room for a long time.
Xu Longxiang stared at Xu Ping'an, nodded to him and said, "Brother!"
Xu Pingan smiled in surprise and asked, "Why are you so distant when you see me?"
Xu Longxiang quickly walked to the stone bench next to Xu Ping'an and sat down. "Brother, why did he help me resist the thunder?"
Xu Pingan said: "I don't know either, but when he was resisting the thunderbolt, he said: 'He is my disciple, how can I abandon him? If I don't protect him, then who can I protect?' To be honest, I was very moved at the time, but I didn't expect that the things I was worried about at the time would now seem..."
"Our worries at the beginning were overthinking..."
"..."
Xu Longxiang choked up a little.
Seeing this, Xu Pingan smiled and said, "I know your thoughts very well... but you need to adjust yourself and stop caring too much about it. If you keep immersing yourself in it, you will go astray."
"I want you to move on instead of dwelling on it. I don't think your master wants you to be sad for him."
“Perhaps his departure is the beginning of something new.”
Xu Longxiang was stunned and looked at Xu Ping'an with some suspicion.
a long time.
Xu Longxiang opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Xu Pingan continued: "I am not a good talker, but I sincerely hope that you can come out and find your own path."
Xu Longxiang nodded and said, "Brother, I understand."
"Not only do I want to forge my own path, I also want to carry on with my master's wishes."
"I will not let Master's sacrifice be in vain."
Xu Ping'an reached out and patted Xu Longxiang on the shoulder, smiling and saying, "You're right to think so."
"Sometimes, it's really hard to put into words..."
"When Zhao Xituan left, he seemed to have said nothing, but he also seemed to have said everything..."
"Ah? Brother, what are you talking about?" Xu Longxiang asked.
Xu Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Xu Longxiang, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just came to see you, and also to tell you that we should go to the dining hall to have dinner together in the evening, and we should also accompany Dad."
"You should get ready too."
"See you tonight."
The words fell.
Xu Ping'an took a few steps forward.
But Xu Longxiang behind him asked: "Brother, are you going north?"
Xu Pingan nodded: "If you want to go north, your second brother has already gone to Daode Sect!"
"My people are on their way, so we should go and take a look..."
"Otherwise, they would think that there is no one in our Xu family... and they would think that they are hiding behind Beimang, and our Xu family can't do anything to them."
Xu Longxiang's tone suddenly quieted down, and he said, "I want to go and see it, too."
Xu Ping'an turned his head and stared at Xu Longxiang, then nodded: "Okay..."
"We'll set off after dinner."
"I will also take you to meet the Taoists of the Northern Mang Daode Sect and see what they are capable of."
Xu Longxiang nodded.
After Xu Ping'an left, when he appeared again, he was already on the seventh floor of Tingchao Pavilion.
Tingchao Pavilion.
At this moment, Li Yishan lives on the seventh floor.
"Well, this wine is still delicious. I have drunk a lot of good wines, but only Beiliang's Green Ant Wine makes me feel comfortable."
"How long has it been since you last came to see me?"
"About a year!" Xu Ping'an said as he poured wine for Li Yishan, "Master, you've drunk this wine countless times, don't you get tired of it at all?!"
"People say that no matter how good something is, once you've seen it before or seen it too many times, you'll get tired of it. Even people, even if there are endless new things, will become boring."
"And what about this wine? Aren't you tired of it?"
Li Yishan shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't. In my opinion, no matter what it is, as long as it is wine, I can accept it. But after drinking it for a while, I still think that Green Ant Wine suits my taste."
"Perhaps you can't understand the reason, but I can say that this thing is very addictive. If you don't drink it, you will feel that something is missing. You will always feel that drinking other wines is bland..."
"You didn't come here to chat with me, did you?"
Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "I would like to ask Master to give me some advice on the name and reign title of the new dynasty..."
Li Yishan waved his hand and said, "These are not things I can interfere with. These are things done by your advisers."
"I can't steal the credit!"
"Don't tell me you want me to live in unrest..."
