Chapter 313: Monk Nagarjuna passed away!
When Xu Fengnian entered Ping'an Inn, it was already full of travelers. Some of these people came from the south, and some were business travelers.
Seeing a beggar walk in, some people frowned and complained:
"What's going on? How did a beggar get into the inn? Has the inn become so desolate now?"
"Yes, let's get this beggar out."
"..."
Before Xu Fengnian could say anything, the waiter immediately stood up to speak for Xu Fengnian.
In fact, Xu Fengnian knew very well that the waiter was not speaking for him, but for the money in his hands.
The Ping'an Inn became quiet.
Xu Fengnian ignored the gossip of these people and went straight up to the second floor and to the side room.
What he had to do now was to wash himself, get rid of the fatigue in his body, then change into new clothes and have a good meal.
This was the only thing he wanted to do.
Not long after, Xu Fengnian finished washing up, changed into a white suit, walked out of the room and sat down by the window on the second floor. The waiter almost didn't recognize him.
"Sir! What would you like to eat?"
When the waiter saw this, he was also slightly surprised.
"I'd like one of your restaurant's signature dishes, and a jar of wine."
"And bring some side dishes to go with the wine, please hurry up..."
Xu Fengnian warned.
The waiter responded and turned around to prepare.
Shortly after.
The waiter brought the wine and food and placed them on Xu Fengnian's table, saying with a smile, "If you have any other requests, please let me know. I'm nearby."
Xu Fengnian waved his hand.
The waiter left tactfully.
Xu Fengnian did not eat voraciously, but chewed slowly. He picked up the wine bowl and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it gently, with a light flashing in his eyes.
murmured:
"Well, I didn't expect there is such wine in Beimang..."
After drinking a few bowls of wine, I felt warm all over and all the fatigue of the past few days was swept away.
And at this time.
Several more waves of people came into the inn and chatted about everything, but what they talked about most was the war between Beimang and Beiliang.
One of them said:
"Who do you think will win in this battle between Beimang and Beiliang?"
These words were like a stone thrown into the lake, which caused a thousand ripples and suddenly the whole Ping'an Inn was bustling with activity.
"I think the battle between Beimang and Beiliang this time is a bit strange. I wonder if you have noticed that although Liyang is in chaos now, it is completely under Xu Ping'an's control..."
"This Xu Ping'an is also strange. Why doesn't he proclaim himself emperor? Or establish a new era name? Does he still want to go to war with Beimang in the name of Beiliang?"
"It is said that Xu Ping'an has already pacified the southern border. Next, he must go north..."
"What on earth is his ability? He can actually fight on multiple fronts at the same time. I heard that when he was fighting in Southern Xinjiang, our God of War Tuoba Bodhisattva wanted to start from the Liaodong battlefield and march south, but was blocked by a general named Xiang Yu."
"Compared to Gu Jiantang back then, this Xiang Yu seems to be even more powerful. I really don't know why Beiliang has so many powerful people."
"..."
There was silence.
Suddenly someone spoke up:
"Hey, this may be the reason why Xu Xiao was able to become the only king of a different surname in Liyang. He has many talented people under him."
"Up to now, we still don't know how many masters there are in Beiliang."
"It is said that there are many talented people gathered in Tingchao Lake..."
These words were like a stone falling into the lake, causing a series of chain reactions.
Immediately, countless people began to discuss.
"Is this the family background of Northern Liang King Xu Xiao?"
"According to what you said, Xu Xiao is capable of being the emperor? But why doesn't he become the emperor? Doesn't he have any interest in power? But if he has no interest, why did he stay in Beiliang as the King for so many years? Isn't this contradictory?"
"What's so contradictory about this? In my opinion, this is exactly what makes Xu Xiao so powerful. His reputation outside is obviously not very good, but around him, there are countless talented people. Why?"
"As for his reputation, I think it's better not to pay attention to it. Perhaps it's just that King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang is degrading himself. He doesn't care about the scholars in the court of Liyang at all. In addition, during the Liyang Dynasty, by the time of Zhao Dun's generation, the strategy of respecting the civil servants and suppressing the military was upheld. In order to climb up and gain a good reputation, some civil servants used scolding Xu Xiao as a stepping stone to rise step by step in the court of Liyang..."
"Is the Emperor of Liyang a fool? Can't he see the importance of the King of Beiliang to the Liyang Dynasty?"
"..."
These words immediately caused the inn to fall into silence again.
It seems like at this moment.
Everyone has this doubt in their mind.
Another person spoke up: "I think he doesn't want to stop it, but is happy to see this situation."
"After all... in the eyes of Emperor Liyang, this might be the balance between civil and military officials... He even had a terrible idea, which was that he expected Xu Xiao not to rebel, but he didn't expect that Xu Xiao would not rebel, but his son didn't think so... And the White Clothes Case that they had concocted back then was the decisive factor that led Xu Ping'an to rebel against Liyang."
"So the fact that the Liyang Dynasty is crumbling now actually has a lot to do with the current emperor."
"They want the Xu family to hold on in Beiliang, and they also want to take over Beimang's hand, and then wear Beiliang out completely, and then kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and completely wipe out Beiliang's living forces."
"..."
Hear the words.
Everyone in the Ping'an Inn took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.
Someone couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey, maybe this is the emperor's house."
"No matter what they are, we must defeat them and consolidate our own kingdom. But Emperor Zhao never expected that he would lose."
"And they lost so badly."
this moment.
Someone else spoke up and asked, "Who do you think will win this war between Beimang and Beiliang?"
"I think it's too early to talk about this now."
"I think so too... I don't think any of the Northern Mang or Northern Liang have revealed their trump cards... Even if people like Tuoba Bodhisattva and Xu Ping'an are very powerful, they may not be able to influence the outcome of the battle when facing an army of millions."
"Well, that's true. After all, a person's strength is limited. Manpower will eventually be exhausted. It's impossible to maintain a fighting state all the time..."
"..."
Xu Fengnian listened to these people's discussions with a sneer on his face.
Northern Wilds...
Northern Liang?
The current Beimang may no longer be the same Beimang as before, but is the current Beiliang really the same Beiliang as before?
Tell the truth.
When Xu Fengnian heard about Beiliang's current deployment and the report on the military strength, he was also a little puzzled. What was going on with so many troops?
Where did those people come from?
……
all of these……
All of this made him a little confused. After this trip, Xu Fengnian also wanted to go and see for himself what kind of existence Beiliang is now...
Is it really an army of millions?
Maybe there is an element of bragging.
Even if Li Yang is captured, it will still require a lot of manpower to guard it. If it is not handled properly, big problems will arise.
Thinking of this.
Xu Fengnian's desire to return to the south gradually grew.
