The first season of the TV series "Sword in the Snow" has come to an end, which means that Xu Fengnian's second journey has come to an end. In Xu Fengnian's first trip to the rivers and lakes, he was escorted by Lao Huang, but behind the scenes, he also lost many dead soldiers and bodyguards. And in the second adventure, except for the elite of the Fengzi Camp and Lin Tanhua, there was no other **. The reason behind it is actually very direct, because this mission was completed by Li Chungang, the former strongest man in the world, which is also the reason why Xu Fengnian was able to play around in a bright and bright way.
What is puzzling is that considering Li Chungang's ability and social status, even Xu Xiao behaved quite politely to him, so why would he be responsible for escorting Xu Fengnian into the rivers and lakes?Logically, Li Chungang should not have any debt to Xu Xiao. Zhao Kai had used the inheritor of the green robe to exert pressure on Li Chungang, but Xu Xiao didn't take it to heart, which showed that it was completely impossible for Xu Xiao to threaten him in this way.
In the TV series version, Li Chungang once mentioned that the reason why he protected Xu Fengnian was because Xu Xiao had swept the tombs of the green robe over the years. But we must note that the construction of Tingchao Pavilion has actually only been more than twenty years, and the green robe has passed away for nearly a year. Xu Xiao had not become the king of Beiliang before Yijiazi, and Li Chungang had only been imprisoned in Tingchao for more than twenty years, so what about the decades before that?In the past twenty years, how could he suddenly become so powerful, so powerful?Could it be that Xu Xiao also participated in the activity of sweeping the tomb of the green robe?
Personally, I think that Li Chungang agreed to protect Xu Fengnian not only because Xu Xiao swept the tomb of the green robe, but because he didn't go to listen to the Chao Pavilion, so how to determine if Xu Xiao let someone else do it?Xu Xiao swept the grave for his green robe, which is only one of the reasons why Li Chungang promised to help Xu Xiao, but this is not the most critical, I personally think there are three reasons in total.
First of all, Xu Xiao owes Chu Madness a favor, although Chu Madness has lived at the bottom of the lake for many years, the fish in the river have not been eaten by him, which means that even a master cannot not eat or drink. Chu Madnu also helped him sweep the tomb of the green robe, which can be regarded as a favor.
Another trigger is that there is some kind of transactional relationship between Xu Xiao and Li Chungang, which is of course part of the plot. On the way to Jiangnan Province, Xu Xiao instructed Wei Shuyang to find Li Chungang, and revealed to Li Chungang that "the prince has begun to think about how to solve the problem he promised his predecessors before." What kind of commitment did Xu Xiao make to Li Chungang?This question is also one of the most important issues in the relationship between the characters in the play, so it appears in the plot. This drama version has always been an unsolved mystery, it can be said that it is a hole in the drama version, and I am not sure if the second season will fill it. However, I personally feel that this is most likely a trap orchestrated by Xu Xiao in order to restore Xichu to its statehood.
The third reason is related to Jiang Ni, Li Chungang observed Jiang Ni's root bones, Xu Xiao has many masters around him, how could he not know that Jiang Ni's root bones are actually natural sword embryos?What's more, Jiang Ni is burdened with the national destiny of Western Chu. So he wants to learn swordsmanship, and hopes to inherit it after he completes it, leaving a sword for future generations. For Li Chungang's kendo inheritance, Jiang Ni is definitely the first choice. On the one hand, Jiang Ni's personality resembles a green robe;On the other hand, Jiang Ni's kendo talent is unmatched;Moreover, Jiang Ni is a native of Western Chu, and Li Chungang was also a native of Western Chu.
Why did Xu Xiao forcibly include Jiang Ni in Xu Fengnian's eastward journey?Xu Xiao is not only out of concern for Cao Changqing, but also out of consideration for Li Chungang. As long as Li Chungang agrees, he firmly believes that Li Chungang is an important person who speaks his word, and he will definitely ensure Xu Fengnian's safety, so that in the rivers and lakes, almost no one can really threaten Xu Fengnian's life.
The role of Li Chungang had a profound impact on Xu Fengnian. In order to protect Xu Fengnian, Xu Xiao not only ensured the safety of his son, but also did not let his son learn every strategy of Li Chungang, which was really thoughtful about his son.
