Chapter 626 You can’t have your cake and eat it too

After Xu Fengnian nodded, he never cared about Lu Qiantang's strangeness and said softly.

"You are tired today, go down and rest, there is no need for your guard here!"

Lu Qiantang needed a quiet space at this time. He glanced around, nodded silently, and left the courtyard without a word, going to the wing at the back to rest.

"Hahaha, I, Xu Fengnian, have gained another talent!"

Xu Fengnian waited until Lu Qiantang left, and immediately showed off happily to Jiang Ni and Qingniao.

Lu Qiantang seems to be reckless, but he is both civil and military. In the past, he was so clumsy because he was not familiar with the dangers of the world and was too passionate. He was caught in the middle and teased by Li Yang and Beiliang. But after all, he is the crown prince of Li Yang Dynasty. He is talented and intelligent, and he is already a second-grade minor master in martial arts. He can be said to be an outstanding person in both civil and military skills. Now that he has seen through the world, how can he still be as naive as before? He is definitely a rare talent. Why not make Xu Fengnian happy.

Xu Zongjia thought for a while and then reminded him that as for the final result, he could not predict it. After all, manpower sometimes ran out, and even with his cultivation, he could not control the world and make everything go as he wished.

"You're too happy too early!"

Xu Fengnian was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu Zongjia in confusion, with the intention of asking for advice in his eyes.

"Lü Qiantang is not in the right state at the moment. There is nothing greater than grief. Today he met his family, which makes him have no love for the world anymore and he can only seek relief through death!"

Xu Fengnian frowned. He really didn't think about this. Shouldn't seeing his relatives inspire the desire to survive and provide a place for the women and children of the family to survive.

"Don't forget that the Lin family is, after all, a scholarly family with heirs of poetry and calligraphy. Sometimes you have to admire the Confucian concept of killing one's life to achieve benevolence. Maybe in your opinion, Lin Yu's survival and preservation of the family for the sake of the family is something worthy of praise. But in the eyes of the Lin family, it is different. It is an insult to the family tradition and brings shame to the ancestors. It seems that the old lady of the Lin family is an upright person, with a Confucian character and no shame!"

Although Xu Zongjia did not comment on the right or wrong between the two, the choices made by both parties were blameless. After all, those who persist are worthy of respect. Whether they sacrifice their lives to become a benevolent person or endure humiliation, they are all worthy of praise.

Xu Fengnian had a look of surprise on his face. He was a pragmatic person and believed that only by protecting the family around him could he protect his family and country. However, Xu Xiao had fought for his family, country and the world, offending many enemies. What they got in exchange was the fear of the royal family. The white-clothed case in the capital that made Xu Xiao regret his whole life happened, leaving Xu Laizi alone in the world. This was also the Xu family's biggest unspeakable pain!

Back then, Wu Su went to the palace alone. Although she was pregnant with Liujia, it could not be speculated by common sense. That night, Princess Beiliang, the most outstanding disciple of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, Wu Su, the sword immortal in white, once again changed from the worldly sword to the transcendental sword, from the realm of celestial phenomena to the realm of land gods, one person alone against three Zhixuan, one celestial image, and one Killed out of the palace with one sword.

That battle now seems to be a lose-lose situation with no winner.

Beiliang lost its most respected princess, the king of Beiliang lost the love of his life, and the prince of Beiliang also buried hatred for Li Yang in his heart.

The Liyang Dynasty was even more estranged from the Northern Liang cavalry who were originally loyal to the dynasty. There was no trace of affection at all, only fear and suspicion.

There is a book of life and death in the Northern Liang Palace, which records the names of people who entered and left the Liyang Palace that night. One-third of them died suddenly, and no one died. The remaining people who are still alive are all in the Xu family. They are on the must-kill list, but now is not the time. In the future, Xu Fengnian will make these people pay the price.

"Are there really people in this world who are not afraid of life and death? Isn't it good to live?"

Xu Fengnian murmured to himself incomprehensibly, with sadness and despair in his voice, and he didn't know where he was thinking.

Jiang Ni also looked gloomy at this time. She could best understand Lu Qiantang's feelings. After all, they were both destitute people in the end of the world. Naturally, they knew how painful it was to live an ignoble life. Their hearts were torn apart by regret and hatred every day. Every day I feel so miserable that I feel like life is worse than death.

"You don't have to agree with this kind of character, but you still have to be in awe!"

Xu Zongjia is familiar with Confucian classics and naturally knows that there are dregs in Confucianism, but most of them are worthy of promotion. Moral sacrifice, loyalty and patriotism should not be ridiculed at any time, let alone be despised. It is precisely because of people with this kind of character Only the people of the Central Plains can rebuild Confucian civilization amidst repeated sufferings and ruins. This is an inheritance deeply rooted in the bones and blood of the people of the Central Plains.

Xu Fengnian came back to his senses, looked at Xu Zongjia with a solemn expression, and couldn't help but joke.

"If one day I betray my country and take refuge in Beimang for the sake of my family, will you help me?"

Xu Zongjia's eyes were stern, he stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves angrily, and shouted sternly.

"Although I, Xu Zongjia, have made a promise to help you three times, if you dare to betray the Central Plains and seek refuge in the grasslands, I will definitely go north in person, take off your head, and pay homage to the people of the Central Plains!"

"There's no need to be like this!"

Xu Fengnian smiled sarcastically, as if wanting to lighten the atmosphere. He didn't expect Xu Zongjia to react so fiercely. Xu Zongjia usually looked careless and unbothered, but he didn't expect that he would react like this today.

"Although the two words "righteousness" and "righteousness" are juxtaposed, "righteousness" comes before "righteousness". I will never disregard the great integrity of my family and country because of small righteousness. So if this day really comes, Xu Fengnian, you must keep my words in mind at this time. I will never You are allowed to do this heinous act!"

Xu Zongjia didn't mean to be joking at all, he still stared at Xu Fengnian with his eyes, and his heart-breaking words were very heavy, hitting Xu Fengnian's heart.

Xu Fengnian nodded silently, without any disappointment or anger.

Only then did Xu Zongjia realize that he had lost his composure, so he turned around and went back to his room, no longer staying in the courtyard.

"Hey, Xu Fengnian, you are asking for trouble!"

Li Chungang watched the joke from the side and teased Xu Fengnian unkindly. He picked his nose with his fingers and threw it at Xu Fengnian with a flick of his finger.

Xu Fengnian looked gloomy and took a long time to speak.

"I have no choice. Xu Zongjia is obsessed with everything. I'm afraid he has no bottom line in his heart. If someone in Beimang shows kindness to him in the future, will it cause the fall of the Central Plains, the fall of Kyushu, and the children of the Central Plains becoming servants of others? Great rivers and mountains It has become a pasture for the prairie cavalry!”

The more Xu Fengnian got to know Xu Zongjia, the more fearful he became. He was afraid that one day if Xu Zongjia acted recklessly, no one in the world could control him. Even the Yuan Shen of the Northern Emperor Zhenwu was not his enemy. How could he not let him Xu Fengnian was worried. Xu Fengnian naturally wanted to test Xu Zongjia's mind, not wanting something unbearable to happen in the future.

Li Chungang was silent when he heard this, and then he looked at Xu Fengnian with new eyes. He didn't expect that the dandy Crown Prince actually still cared about the country and the people.
