The dream of a lonely hero

When I was young, three or five court servants came running over.

Yan Feng hurriedly said:"Shangchao, superior! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! The young one is flirting with the princess."

The prince said angrily:"You don't know how to live and die, how dare you insult the prime minister's daughter!" Raise your hand and hit.

Yanfeng dodges in a hurry.

The girl holding the jade Ruyi said:"Stop! This Yanfeng was invited by me to tune the piano. I don't know if the second princess has misunderstood."

A court official laughed with him and said:"It turns out that he is the distinguished guest of the princess. I have offended him.! I hope Mr. Yan will forgive me." After saying that, he and the other deans left.

The princess ordered the maid to retreat.

These two girls are the jewel in the eye of the Prime Minister Zhao Pu, the princess of Hancheng County. The girl holding the jade Ruyi is the princess Zhao Yuanchun, and the girl holding the sword is the princess Zhao Yuanrong. Yan Feng understood what the princess said and was surprised and happy. He bowed his head to the princess and said:"Thanks to the princess for saving me! You are really the reincarnation of the great and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. It's so beautiful to see you today." What a blessing Yan Feng has accumulated in his eight lifetimes! The princess is refined and talented, can the young man ask the princess for advice on piano skills? It will open my eyes to the frog in the well. If I can, my life, Yan Feng, will be worthy of my life!"

Erjun The master, Zhao Yuanrong, grabbed the words and said:"What a sweet mouth, my sister is easy to fool! Don't think that my sister saved you, you don't know the heights of the world, and you dare to ask for advice on piano art. The music in my hand You're welcome with your sword!"

Princess Zhao Yuanchun said:"Yanrong, put away your sword quickly. Word has spread that you are not elegant in wielding the sword."

Zhao Yuanrong returned the sword to its scabbard and said,"This guy is caressing your piano. , what should I do if the news spreads?"

Yan Feng said hurriedly:"Second Princess! I have never seen the eldest princess's piano in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone touched it."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"How can someone who comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion tune the piano? If you don't move the harp, you're worried too much."

The three of them were talking. Anguo Jiedu Li Weidong and a group of bureaucrats surrounded Prime Minister Zhao Pu and walked to the Cuju venue in the center of Qixia Garden. General Hu Zan, the post-officer (secretary) of the Xiangfu Hall, walked to the rockery and said to Yan Feng,"You must be Mr. Jun Biao, Li Jieshuai's disciple!"

Yan Feng bowed his hands and saluted, and said,"That's Yan Fengyan." Jun Biao." General

Hu Zan said:"In accordance with the decree of the Prime Minister Jun, Mr. Yan is invited to go and play Cuju."

Yan Feng immediately followed Hu Zan to the Cuju field.

The eldest princess, Zhao Yuanchun, and the second princess, Zhao Yuanrong, made an appointment today to go to Qixia Garden to play and enjoy the harp. The maid had already prepared the Yao harp and was just waiting for the princesses to come. Unexpectedly, Yan Feng was in trouble. Hit by mistake. Yan Fengsheng's appearance is handsome and unrestrained, and his first sense is enough to conquer the hearts of girls all over the world. Yanfeng was also versatile. He was proficient in playing, singing, dancing, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing football, playing bamboo and playing silk. He was especially proficient in playing football and playing the piano. Which scholar-bureaucrat would not want such a versatile Qingke (for People who serve bureaucrats and wealthy people for fun and entertainment). Yan Feng is also well-behaved, well-spoken and has the ability to please girls. The eldest princess Zhao Yuanchun and the second princess Zhao Yuanrong naturally have a deep admiration for Yan Feng.

Zhao Yuanchun stared at Yan Feng's back, his thoughts flying and he didn't realize it. Zhao Yuanrong unconsciously looked at Yan Feng's retreating back, and felt shy for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Zhao Yuanchun was still staring at Yan Feng's back, quietly approaching her and waving his hands in front of her eyes. Only then did Zhao Yuanchun recover his thoughts, his face flushed with shame.

Zhao Yunrong smiled and said:"Sister, the rouge is a bit thicker today, come here and let me wipe it." He took out the brocade handkerchief to wipe her face.

Zhao Yuanchun was really embarrassed and said:"The rouge is too thick today. It's all because of you. I didn't even look in the mirror when I went out. If I don't want to take advantage of my sister, I'll do it myself."

Zhao Yuanrong chuckled and said:"Haha! Oh, is that true! The rouge is thick, the rouge is thick!

Zhao Yuanchun said shyly:"You girl, what's so funny about the thick rouge!""

Zhao Yuanrong still kept laughing and said:"Haha! Don't laugh, don't laugh. Then tell the truth, have you found your Xiao Lang (lover)?"

Zhao Yuanrong hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Yuanchun's face turned red with embarrassment and said:"Yanrong, Yuanrong! You are talking nonsense, I-I will ignore you!"

Zhao Yuanrong joked:"Okay! I will not say. What woman wouldn't love such a young man who looks like Pan An? If you don't tell the truth, I will get there first. Don't regret it then.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Go and get it yourself. When did my sister fight with you?""

Zhao Yuanrong saw that she was serious and did not dare to joke anymore, and said:"Sister, I apologize! You think Mr. Yan is good, but I don't think so. His face is 70% more delicate and 30% less majestic. Even if he is 30% more majestic, my sister will never do anything despicable to win someone's love.

Zhao Yuanchun said angrily," How dare you talk nonsense!"

Zhao Yuanrong smiled and said,"Okay!" good! My sister just doesn’t say anything. Sister, let’s go up to the rockery and see if Yanfeng’s football skills are as good as his piano skills."He helped Zhao Yuanchun up to the rockery to watch.

Yan Feng came on stage just in time to offer his advice. He threw the ball in the air, used his shoulders, back, and head to ball. The ball stuck to his body like swim bladder glue, and he used many tricks to"arrange flowers diagonally" , beads on Buddha's head, picking up fish on dry land, golden Buddha grinding mill, carrying the moon on both shoulders, kidnapping flow, arranging flowers obliquely, kidnapping shooting stars" a series of tricks were dizzying, and Prime Minister Zhao Pu and other officials all cheered. For about half an hour, the ball was in Yan Feng's feet and body were tumbling and never landed. Yan Feng finished kicking and knelt down to Prime Minister Zhao Pu. The

Zhao sisters who were watching the ball on the rockery all admired Yan Feng's superb skills.

Zhao Yuanrong said in surprise:"I didn't expect that Yan Feng With her gentle demeanor and such skill, my sister is really discerning!

Zhao Yuanchun said:"After playing football, Yan Feng has to go back with Li Jieshuai.""

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Sister, don't be superior, little sister has her own clever plan."

Zhao Yuanrong immediately went down from the rockery to find Hu Zan, the post-official of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chen said that the Prime Minister was busy with state affairs and had a lot of time to attend to. He had no one to play Cuju with him to relieve his boredom. Yanfeng's exquisite playing skills were the most suitable candidate. Hu Zan MindfulBefore going to work, Prime Minister Zhao Pu originally intended to accept Yan Feng, and Anguo Jiedong Li Weidong had long wanted to please Prime Minister Zhao Pu Jin and offered Yan Feng. They hit it off and Yan Feng became a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yan Feng is familiar with the job of licking his butt, holding his butt, and flattering to please his superiors. There is really someone in the court who likes to be an official. Within a few days, he became the deputy lieutenant of the ninth rank of the prime minister's office. Although it was an important position, he only received Salary (salary) has no specific matters, but the important position of the prime minister's office is not clear. The slaves are as big as the master is.

From then on, Yan Feng met in the Prime Minister's Mansion, coming in and out like a family member. Since ancient times, the saying goes:"The sun is far away and the sun is far apart, but the sun is close and the sun is close." The relationship between Yan Feng and the princess Zhao Yuanchun is getting closer and closer, and it is almost time to talk about marriage, but Yan Feng, a low-ranking official from the ninth rank, wants to marry a high-ranking official. It is impossible to marry the daughter of a prime minister to one person and thousands of people. To make the impossible possible, you need to be packaged in high-quality official robes. Falling in love will lower a woman's IQ index. Zhao Yuanchun is not only beautiful in appearance but also intelligent in playing chess. She is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and knows all the Four Books and Five Classics, but her correct judgment will be greatly compromised when she is immersed in passionate love. She loves the house and the black bird, and the ability of her lover Yanfeng gradually magnifies in her eyes. As a princess, she only needs to give Hu Hu, the official of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zan gave a little hint, and Hu Zan understood. Yan Feng's promotion was a matter of course. He was promoted from the Peirong Colonel at the ninth rank to the Renyong Colonel at the ninth rank. Although the rank was promoted by three levels, the rank was also promoted. At the sixth level, although they still have no official duties, they can have official duties and can be dispatched. The

"dispatch" of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty cannot be underestimated."Official" only means that he can receive a salary, but has no actual power; dispatch talents Refers to the actual positions held by officials. The Zhengshitang sent Yanfeng, the captain of the Renyong School of Dongfu, to patrol the counties on the West Road of Hebei Province. Originally, such an important mission was filled by at least senior court officials of the sixth rank or above, but there were those behind the Xiangfutang. The operation of the official Hu Zan was not a problem. Zhao Yuanchun, the princess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was very panicked when he found out that Yan Feng's dispatch was illegal. He asked Hu Zan to go to the Zhengshi Hall to take back the order. However, the approval document signed by the Zhengshi Hall involved the Zhengshi Hall. For many officials, if they withdraw their orders, it would be to admit that the malfeasance of officials in the political hall may also affect the prime minister. After the two discussed, they had no choice but to make an exception. Before

Yan Feng left, the princess Zhao Yuanchun gave many instructions: Do not show off, do not linger, and be cautious. Engage, make quick decisions, and return safely as soon as possible. Yan Feng knew the stakes well, and the patrol was very low-key. He only took four followers with him. At first, he traveled across the state and did not dare to stay. After a few days, he could not control it. The local government The prefecture and county officials regarded Yan Feng, the"patrol envoy" dispatched by the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, as an honored guest, and they rushed to flatter Yan Feng. Money and money presented to Yan Feng were quietly sent to Yan Feng's residence in the capital in large and small cars. Yan Feng enjoyed every opportunity. Unprecedented scenery. Yan Feng passed through Yulong County on his way back to the capital after patrolling the counties on Hebei West Road, and met Yan Yun's team to marry Shang Feiyan.

Shang Feiyan smelled Yan Feng's melodious flute sound, She jumped off the sedan chair and ran towards Yan Feng desperately, and ran in front of Yan Feng's horse. Yan Feng pulled her onto the horse's back and held her in his arms.

Yuanda ran out of the wedding procession, and was so angry that he snatched her away from the trumpeters. After passing the cymbal, he ran in front of Yan Feng's horse and cursed:"Yan Feng is a despicable and despicable thief! Your sister-in-law dares to rob me, Master Ba, I will beat the shit out of you!" He raised his copper cymbals and hit Yan Feng.

The man behind Yan Feng hurriedly stopped him and pulled out his sword, shouting angrily:"You are a village barbarian who wants to rebel! You actually dare to act wild in front of the Lord on patrol in the East Mansion (Prime Minister's Government Hall). If you don't get out of here, I'll be accused of assassination!"

Yuanda's colleagues in Yulong County kindly stopped Yuanda, carefully apologized to the gentleman, and shouted to the wedding team to get out of the way. Yan Feng held Shang Feiyan on his horse, and went south surrounded by the gentleman, passing by Yan Yun was like a stranger.

The people who were welcoming the bride, seeing her off, and the people watching were all talking. Yan Yun was as motionless as a clay sculpture on the horse. Everything in front of him seemed to be frozen, time suddenly stopped, and the crowd was noisy. The noise suddenly lost any volume.

Fang Xun called for everyone to disperse. After a while, everyone dispersed, and only Yan Yun, Fang Xun, and Yuanda were left on the empty roadside.

Yan Yun was still sitting stiffly on the back of the horse, expressionless. , there is nothing in his eyes, as if his heart is as calm as water.

Yuanda advised:"Brother Qi, don't be angry! It is better for the beasts of Yanfeng to be struck by lightning later than for the swallows to fly, and the beetles to insert chicken feathers are not good birds and will not end well!"

Yan Yun was still indifferent.

Seeing that it had no effect, Yuanda continued to scold:"Shang Feiyan is wearing a human skin in vain, which damn parent gave birth to such a watery bastard! Brother Qi, is it worth getting angry for such a changfu? Is it worth it? A man's belly can support a boat, so this little thing is nothing, it will be over in the blink of an eye. Why should a real man worry about not having a wife? With Seventh Brother's character, talents, and martial arts, you can choose any good girl in the world." He continued nagging.

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother, don't talk about it. I still dislike you Seventh Brother. Not annoying enough.

Yuanda said:"Brother, aren't I trying to persuade Seventh Brother?" Do you think Yan Feng and Shang Feiyan are things? Are they things? Is it worth it for Seventh Brother to be angry at those two bastards? Is it worth it? There are plenty of good girls in the world, and I’m getting impatient waiting for Brother Seven to choose."

Fang Xun said angrily,"Okay, I’m done with you!""

Yuan Da didn't dare to say anything when he saw his elder brother was angry. Fang Xun pulled Yuan Da forward slowly, stopped after walking a hundred steps, and looked at Yan Yun who was sitting stiffly on the horse from a distance.

An hour passed, and Yan Yun remained motionless.

Yuanda said:"Brother, is the seventh brother so angry? Think about it, can he not be angry? After picking up a bride, his new daughter-in-law ran away with someone halfway, and the person who abducted her was his own brother. The news of Brother Seventh marrying his wife was so big and spectacular that almost all of Yulong County Everyone knows that it ended up like this, where should he put his face! In order to marry that woman Shang Feiyan, he had to bear so many debts. The money for the banquet ordered by the county town has not been paid yet, and no one is eating today, how to calculate the account! Oh, I have a headache. Seeing Fang Xun's silence, he continued,"You've lost your life, you've lost your life!" This blow will definitely shorten Brother Qi's life by ten years. Seventh Brother also chose someone who looked like a fairy. If he found someone who looked ordinary,You can’t-"

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother, are you tired?

Yuanda said:"I'm not tired, but I'm hungry."

Fang Xun said,"Go buy some wine and meat on the street and divide it into two portions, one for your seventh brother and one for us." Yuanda accepted the promise and left.

When he was young, Yuanda returned with two packages of meat and two jugs of wine.

Fang Xun picked up a package of meat and a jug of wine and walked towards Yan Yun, but Yan Yun still didn't move. Fang Xun hung the wine and meat on the Yan Yun fastened the saddle tightly, remained silent for a moment, turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and shouted:"Yan Yun! That couple of bitches defeated this dignified seven-foot-tall man like you! Do you still remember your ambition? Do you still remember the oaths that the eight Merlin brothers and I swore?"

Fang Xun's words shocked Yan Yun like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Yan Yun's painful thoughts were brought back, and he said:"Rescue the poor and help the people in danger, report to the country, and make peace with the common people."

Yan Yun's mother, Xie, was killed by Yan Feng and Shang Feiyan. He was so angry that he asked the doctor to treat him carefully, and he got better after a month. Shang Feiyan went with Yan Feng for more than ten days, but was abandoned by Yan Feng and returned to Guiyun Village. The condition of Shang Yuanzhong who was seriously ill in bed Shang Feiyan became increasingly angry with Shang Feiyan. Yan Yun would visit Shang Yuanzhong every day after finishing his errands at the Yamen and going home to visit his mother.

One day, Yan Yun walked to Shang Yuanzhong's door and saw Yang Mao sneaking around. Chong was holding a bowl of soup and poking his head around, but it seemed as if he was going in.

Yan Yun asked,"Why is Yang Mao so sneaky? Could it be that he has done something wrong?" Yang

Mao turned pale in panic, and calmed down his soul, saying:"You - don't accuse people of their innocence at will." I was delivering medicine to my uncle, but I was afraid of making him angry, so I didn't dare to go in. If you happen to be here, just deliver it for me."He handed the medicine bowl to Yan Yun and turned around to run. He fell down in panic, got up and smiled awkwardly at Yan Yun, turned around and walked away quickly.

Yang Mao's idleness often made Shang Yuanzhong angry, and Yan Yun didn't care when he saw him panicking. Weird.

Yan Yun entered the room with a bowl of medicine. Shang Yuanzhong's face was blue and black, and his hearing and vision were dull. Sitting next to him, Shang Feiyan saw Yan Yun's sullen face. Yan Yun approached Shang Yuanzhong and said,"Uncle Shang, take medicine." , it will be cold if it is too late. Shang

Yuanzhong opened his eyes slightly and said,"Put it there. The medicine doctor can't cure the disease, so why should I suffer this?"

Yan Yun heard the sadness and comforted him:"Uncle, why did you say this!" As long as good medicine is taken care of, it will be cured. Shang

Feiyan stood up to leave but was stopped by her father Shang Yuanzhong, saying:"When will you be able to save your father's worries?" Sit down, I have something to say."

Shang Feiyan sat next to her father.

Shang Yuanzhong said:"Alas! Yan'er, why are you so obsessed with things? Then what Yan Feng did was a current thing made by people. Why are you and Yan Yun using corn noodles to make Yuan Xiao - it's hard to knead it together!

Shang Feiyan changed his words and said:"Dad, take medicine!"

Shang Yuanzhong said,"Listen to me."

Shang Feiyan said,"After taking the medicine, it won't be too late to listen to you.""He helped Shang Yuanzhong sit up.

Yan Yun picked up the medicine bowl and fed Shang Yuanzhong the medicine. Shang Yuanzhong swallowed with difficulty. After drinking the medicine, for a long time, the pain was unbearable, his facial features were deformed, and he vomited several mouthfuls of dirty blood.

Yan Yun turned pale in shock and said:"Quick, please call the doctor."

Shang Feiyan was about to leave.

Shang Yuanzhong looked at Yan Yun, tried his best, and said:"Slow down, slow down, Yun -'er - take care of - Yan'er, please. Yan'er - Yan -" handed Wu Tianzhen's gift of Tian Huangshi to Shang Feiyan.

Yan Yun looked at Shang Yuanzhong's pleading eyes and replied with difficulty:"Uncle! I - I will take good care of - take good care of - Feiyan."

Shang Yuanzhong showed a trace of relief on his painful face, and then he died.

Shang Feiyan cried bitterly.

Suddenly, Yang Mao and seven or eight servants came in with ropes and sticks and quickly tied up Yan Yun tightly. Yan Yun was so grief-stricken that he could not react. Yang Mao scolded:"Yan Yun is a beast! You poisoned my uncle to death, and you still cry like a cat and a mouse, and you and I are at odds with each other! Pull him out and beat him to death with sticks." The servant dragged Yan Yun out.

Yang Mao hurriedly looked through Shang Yuanzhong's body to find something, and asked:"Feiyan, Feiyan! Where is Tian Huangshi?"

Shang Feiyan cried, shaking the Tian Huangshi in his hand to signal.
