Travel through the heavens

Fang Muye saw that he frowned again, and smiled and reminded him: "If it weren't for Miss Hehe who assassinated you, you probably wouldn't be able to stay in the Lu Mansion."

Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment and asked, "You mean, Miss Hehe is helping me by assassinating me?"

Fang Muye smiled and said nothing.

Xu Fengnian frowned and thought for a moment, then murmured, "It should have been arranged by Xu Xiao."

"How do you know it was your father who arranged it?" Fang Muye asked.

Xu Fengnian said slowly, "Liu Liting is well-known in Jiangnan. If I kill him in public, the Jiangnan literary world will be outraged. The Lu family is unwilling to take on this hot potato for me, but I happened to be ambushed at this time. The Lu family can no longer withdraw from the matter. They have to carefully protect me and dare not let anything happen to me. After all, Xu Xiao's reputation as a butcher is not given for nothing. And I can't think of anyone else who can make such a careful arrangement except Xu Xiao."

He now has some doubts as to whether Miss Hehe is the assassin trained by Xu Xiao for him.

Li Chungang suddenly snorted: "Although Xu Xiao's martial arts are not that good, when it comes to scheming, few people in the world can compare to him. I suffered a great loss from him in the past..."

At this point, the old sword master immediately shut up. Exposing his own shortcomings was not Li Chungang's usual style.

Fang Muye really wanted to know how Li Chungang suffered such a big loss, but he didn't ask too much. He nodded at Xu Fengnian and said, "Your analysis makes sense, but have you ever thought that the Lu family and Beiliang are in-laws. If they do this now, in the eyes of outsiders, the Lu family will tie themselves to Beiliang's ship, and I'm afraid they will be worried about the capital. You told me that your father is now in the capital, trying to protect your hereditary succession, but if the Lu family and Beiliang don't fall out, and Beiliang doesn't become an isolated town, you can't keep your hereditary succession, and you can't take over Beiliang legitimately."

Xu Fengnian sighed and said, "I know. If there is no dispute between Beiliang and Jiangnan, how can the emperor be willing to leave the throne of Beiliang to me? Xu Xiao asked me to come to Jiangnan because he wanted me to have a falling out with the Lu family, but I didn't intend to listen to him. Xu Xiao planned for a long time, strategizing, playing chess openly and secretly, and he calculated all the changes, but he didn't think about my eldest sister's situation. It's easy for me to have a falling out with the Lu family, and they don't dare to really do anything to me, but what about my eldest sister? My eldest sister is still in the Lu family. What will they do to my eldest sister?"

He looked at the small lake beside the pavilion and said softly, "I dragged Liu Liting to death from Jiangxin County to Huting County. In addition to wanting to vent my anger on my sister, I also wanted to force my sister to stay in Jiangnan Road and go back to Beiliang with me. But I also know my elder sister. She will not leave with me. She thinks that she can only help me if she stays in Jiangnan, and only in this way can she be happy. So I can't let her suffer any more grievances, and I can't fall out with the Lu family."

Fang Muye nodded and said, "It seems that you have other plans."

Xu Fengnian smiled. "There is more than one Lu family in Jiangnan. I will find a chance to go against the Jiangnan literary world and provoke a few more families. The more serious the commotion, the more the Jiangnan literati will hate me and Beiliang, and the more satisfied the capital will be. I am not as good as you in martial arts, but I am still good at getting into trouble."

As he was laughing, he suddenly stood up and said, "No, I have to let Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei move out of the Lu family and hide."

Speaking of Jiang Ni, the old sword god suddenly became concerned and asked, "Why do you suddenly want them to move out and hide?"

Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "Xu Xiao has never done anything unnecessary. He seems to do things casually when he uses people, but it is often very precise and has hidden meanings. Why did he let Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei accompany me eastward?"

Li Chungang didn't want to think too much and asked directly: "Why do you say that?"

Xu Fengnian said seriously, "It's still for the succession of the family. Xu Xiao hopes that I will have a falling out with the Lu family, but he knows my character and will not make things difficult for my elder sister. If the Lu family recognizes the identities of Jiang Ni or Yu Youwei, they will definitely want to kill them for revenge, and the Lu family and I will definitely fall out, and his plan of succession of the family will be accomplished. Xu Xiao often says that he will do anything to achieve his goal, and in this case, the two of them may be the price. Whether it's true or not, it's better to be cautious. Let them move out and wait until we leave Jiangnan."

After that, he turned and left.

Fang Muye looked at his hurriedly leaving back and smiled. Xu Fengnian thought that he did not follow Xu Xiao's arrangement and made the decision on his own. Little did he know that although he did not listen to Xu Xiao's arrangement, he still could not escape Xu Xiao's arrangement.

The next morning, Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei quietly moved out of the Lu Mansion, and Qingniao also went with them.

The next few days were peaceful. Except that Xu Fengnian dragged Liu Liting to death and his wife wanted to sue the government to have him arrested, but the government refused to accept the case, and Xu Fengnian's reputation for tyranny and brutality spread even more widely in Jiangnan, nothing happened.

Every day Fang Muye either practiced, or lay on the roof with Li Chungang to bask in the sun, or discussed martial arts. Occasionally, he would go to the yard where Jiang Ni and the others were hiding to teach them the Blue Bird Spear technique.

One day, Xu Fengnian came over with a worried look on his face.

Fang Muye asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Xiaonian?"

Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice: "I saw my elder sister taking medicine every day. I asked her what disease she had. She said that she was weak. Even in summer, her hands and feet were cold and her spirits were often weak. She had seen many doctors, and they all said that it was a deficiency of qi and blood and could not be cured. I was worried, so I asked a famous doctor in Yangcheng privately. He said that my elder sister's disease caused her qi, blood and energy to be consumed faster than ordinary people, just like a burning flame that would not stop. Unless the gods take action, there is no medicine to cure it. Wen Hua, you are a land immortal, do you have a way to save my elder sister?"

Fang Muye replied, "If it is just a common deficiency of Qi and blood, replenishing Qi and blood will be enough, but according to what you said, your elder sister's life has been damaged and her vitality has been lost. It is powerless to save her with medical skills and medicine alone. It's like an oil lamp with a hole in the bottom. If you don't fill the hole, no matter how much oil you put in, the lamp will not be full, and the final result will be that the oil will run out and the lamp will die."

"The current method is to patch up the broken hole first, and then treat the inside and outside at the same time. The outside is to nourish with medicine, and the inside is to nourish with the inner qi. It will take some time to be able to be no different from an ordinary person."

Xu Fengnian asked nervously, "You mean, it can be cured?"

Fang Muye nodded with a smile: "It can be cured."

"That's great, Wen Hua, come with me to meet my elder sister." Xu Fengnian immediately excitedly took Fang Muye's hand and walked out.
