The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Yun became even more nervous and sweating profusely, and hurriedly defended:"No - no - Your Highness", hesitating and unable to speak.

Yan Feng said hurriedly:"Facing the prince Yan Tinghou, the Guizhou defense envoy, he dared to say that he was not His Highness, and he deserved death!"

Yan Hou said:"As the deputy leader, Yan Yun will inevitably be nervous when he first enters the Hou Mansion. I don't demand full blame.. Yan Yun is free of ceremony."

Yan Yun didn't understand what he meant and still knelt down.

Yan Feng sneered and said:"Fang Canjun dared to recommend such a filthy thing to His Highness with a shameless face. What is his motive? How could he put His Highness's face behind him? How could the Marquis of Yan be harboring filth? A dirty place!"

Fang Xun said:"Mr. Yan asked for a scale to weigh himself. There is His Highness in the Marquis of Yan's residence and Yishan below. Who is it that you have to criticize others and gossip about others?"

Yan Feng sneered and said:"Yan Feng doesn't need to be called a person. He knows that he is just the deputy commander of Youyi Mansion from the eighth rank of Yanhou Mansion. What about you? You are not a member of Yanhou Mansion yet, and your claws are very long! Yan Yun is If you say you are versatile in both civil and military affairs, why didn't you recommend him to your master, the Prince of Liangcheng County, Kaifeng Prefecture, but force him into the Yanhou Mansion? What do you think? God knows!"

Fang Xun yelled:"Yan Feng, what kind of person are you? Do you want Fang to tell His Highness about logistics?"

Yan Feng said:"You and I know what kind of logistics I, Yan Feng, am, and the Prime Minister of the Hancheng County Prince knows even more. Could it be that Lao Zhongshu (Prime Minister) is too old-sighted to treat me as a logistics person? Recommend it to the Marquis of Yan!"

Fang Xun said:"Yan Feng doesn't want the fox to pretend to be the tiger, and the dog to rely on the power of the people!"

Yan Feng pulled the flag to make a tiger skin, thinking about the words of Hu Zan, the postmaster of the Xiangfu Hall,"Yan Feng! I'm so happy to serve the Marquis of Yan Ting. , if there is any mistake, the old accounts and the new accounts will be settled together, and you will be cut into pieces!" All of them were silent for a moment, then calmly said:"Haha! You have the guts to talk to Mr. Zhongshu. You, you What kind of logistics is Fang Xun? He released the criminal Yan Yun privately in Yulong County, Zhenzhou. He should have been punished by the officials. Thanks to the kindness of Marquis Yan for saving you, you not only did not know how to repay your kindness, but instead made Yan Yun dirty. Things have come to pollute the Hou Mansion, and they have evil intentions and ulterior motives!" Marquis Yan said:"That's it, that's it! Both Yan Fuyou and Si Rang are talented people, and they are both pillars of the imperial court. Why are they the same as water and fire? Yan Yun is Si Rang. The person who recommends me will definitely be right!" He turned to Gong Mo and said,"Gong Yishan, what other officials are there in the Hou Mansion?"

Gong Mo said:"Your Highness! The enfeoffment of princes in my dynasty is in name only. I enfeoff the princes without granting them land, and the nobles do not come to the people. As for the number of subordinate officials in the mansion, there are very few. The number of deputy leaders of Prince Youyi's mansion in Yanhou Mansion was set up not long ago by Hu Zan, the post-official of Zhongshu, who wrote to the East Court of the Inquisition.."

Marquis Yan said:"Isn't there a vacancy for the position of halberd holder in Prince Youyi Mansion from the ninth rank?"

Yan Feng interjected:"Yan Yun is outstanding as Fang Xun said. After all, he is a commoner. If he insists on it,"Superior Yan Yun, what will the officials (the emperor) and the ministers of the court know about your highness? I hope your highness will think twice!"

Marquis Yan thought for a long time and looked at Gong Mo.

Gong Mo thought:"Yan Yun has neither a Jinshi background nor any great achievements. The post of holding a halberd is given to Yan Yun. I think it is inappropriate. For the time being, I have to make Yan Yun the leader of the Yanhou Mansion. Although he has no rank, he relies on his ability. He said that he has outstanding talents when he joins the army, and sooner or later, Yan Yun will be the one to hold the halberd position in Youyi Mansion."

Marquis Yan thought for a while and looked at Fang Xun.

Although Fang Xun was dissatisfied in his heart, he could see Yan Hou's embarrassment and said:"It all depends on your highness."

Yan Hou said:"Yan Yun, I have wronged you for the time being by being the head of the Hou Mansion."

Yan Yun accepted it. After bowing for the first four times, he said:"Caomin Yanyun thanks His Highness for your kindness!"

From then on, Yanyun was on duty at Yanhou Mansion, at Maochu (five o'clock in the morning), and left work at Youzheng (six o'clock in the afternoon), so he was cautious. He performed his duties conscientiously; after leaving the class, he never left his fists or his music, and continued to practice martial arts every day. A month later, at 3:30 pm (nearly 11 pm at night), Yan Yun was preparing to take a rest when Yan Feng came to visit.

Yan Yun hated Yan Feng very much, but Yan Feng was the prince of Yanhou Mansion and the deputy leader of Youyi Mansion led his own Shangguan, so he had to open the door.

Yan Feng walked through the door arrogantly and yelled:"The fat pig in the pen - eat and sleep! Why do you have a wine bag and rice bag for your parents! Silly pig! The nickname given to you by your father-in-law is really worthy of the name!"

Yan Yun was furious and glared at her. Yanfeng.

Yan Feng said:"Haha! If you haven't seen me in a different way for a day, come and attack me if you have the ability!"

Yan Yun suppressed his anger and said:"The deputy leader came to visit late at night, what are your orders?"

Yan Feng said in a domineering manner:"Why are you so annoying?! I don’t want to listen to my teachings. Look, is your pigsty a place for humans? Look, I live in a deep house and compound, which makes slaves humble. You and I are both born from the same mother. What a difference between heaven and earth! Don’t be afraid of the family If you are poor, you are just afraid of being lazy. The old sow is playing with a big knife - the man is a bear and the guy is stupid!"

Yan Yun said:"If you have different ways, you can't work together. The deputy commander will have to do it tomorrow morning, please help yourself."

Yan Feng said:"You As an elder brother, I am not unreasonable as a younger brother! As the saying goes: It is better to persuade a general than to inspire him. My brother cannot bear that you are in such a state of desolation. I only hope that you will make contributions soon and earn a name to bring glory to our Yan family. Fighting Tigers Dear brother, if something good happens, how can I forget you? The Marquis of Yan was ordered to worship his ancestors in Xijing and set off that night. I recommend you to the Marquis of Yan to be my personal attendant. If you get an official position and get to know the Marquis of Yan, your career will be just around the corner..Remember to serve you carefully. When your service is needed, neither I nor Fang Xun can help you. The road is paved for you and it depends on whether you can walk well. Marquis Yan is waiting for you at Xingnixuan. Still waiting. What?"

Don't believe everything you hear. Of course Yan Yun knew it, and it was from Yan Feng's mouth, but it was true that Yan Hou was ordered to worship his ancestors in Xijing and needed followers; thinking of this, he picked up the Qinglong Sword and hurried out. Yan Feng followed from a distance.

Yan Yunxing walked into the gate of Marquis Yanting's mansion at a gallop. The Duke heard that he was summoned by Marquis Yan to follow him in. Yanyun walked through the hall and courtyard, and arrived at Xingnixuan.

This Xingnixuan is the dormitory of Yanhou Zhao Dezhao, and there has been a eunuch in charge of it for a long time.

When the eunuch saw Yan Yun hanging a sharp sword at his waist, blocking Yan Yun in the middle of the night, he was shocked and said,"Yan Yun stopped at the beginning!"

Yan Yun said,"Quickly get out of the way, Marquis Yan summoned Yan Yun."

The eunuch saw Yan Yun. With no intention of stopping, he shouted:"Come here! Catch the assassin!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen Yan Hous ran out from the darkness and followed him, holding swords, guns and sticks. They swarmed over and without any explanation, they knocked down Yan Yun with sticks and tied him up.

Yan Yun argued:"I'm not an assassin, I'm Yan Yun, the leader of Yan's army! Let go - let me go! Marquis Yan summoned me."

The eunuch said:"You are lying! Marquis Yan and his concubine have already rested, how could they summon you?!"

"Who is making such noise!"Yanhou Zhao Dezhao walked out of Xingnixuan wearing a warm fur coat.

The eunuch said:"Your Highness, the assassination of Yan Yun, the leader of the group, has been captured. Please express your condolences. Yan Yun said:"

Your Highness, Yan Yun is wronged!" Yan Yun was about to take a rest at home. Deputy Yan led a visit and said that His Highness summoned Yan Yun to accompany him to Xijing. Yan Yun came to wait on him at a gallop, but he did not expect to be regarded as an assassin by them."

Yan Hou Zhao Dezhao and his concubine Shang Feiyan had just gone to bed. They heard the noise outside the room. They were very angry and sleepy, and said,"When will I call you?"

Yan Yun said:"This is Yan Feng's oral transmission of His Highness Jun's decree.

Marquis Yan said:"For the time being, Yan Yun will be imprisoned in a secret room and will be tried again tomorrow.""

"Tomorrow, how can we survive tomorrow? If you assassinate the current prince, how can you allow him to live until tomorrow!"Shang Feiyan straightened her clothes and combed her hair, holding a bronze mirror, and hurriedly walked out,"Your Highness, Yan Yun assassinated the prince, An Lu should be torn into pieces, why should he be interrogated. He said sternly to his followers,"You blind slave!" Don't even cut the assassin into pieces! Marquis Yan said:"

Yan Yun was recommended by Fang Xun, the savior of the Gu family. We should not be hasty.""

Shang Feiyan cried and said:"The dignified prince Yanhou Mansion has people thinking about it even when he sleeps. Is there any safe place in this world?

Marquis Yan said:"This - this."

Shang Feiyan said:"Yan Yun wants His Highness's life, and His Highness is so merciful. If this guy is not rectified quickly, someone will follow suit." If Your Highness doesn’t want his head today, please take off my concubine’s head so that I can avoid being humiliated by the assassin."

Yan Hou said:"This - cannot be hasty."

Shang Feiyan's pear blossoms were raining with rain, and she cried sadly:"If something happens to your Highness, how will the slave family live?"

When Marquis Yan saw her crying, he became confused and paced back and forth.

Shang Feiyan said:"Your Highness is so indecisive, how can the Marquis of Qin (Zhao Dezhao's younger brother Qin Tinghou Zhao Defang) respect you."

Yan Hou said loudly:"Come here, call the deputy of Prince Youyi's Mansion to lead Yan Feng to Yin'an Palace to see you."

Shang Feiyan entered the room angrily after hearing this.

A court official followed Yan Hou's instructions and quickly went to summon Yan Feng.

After a long time, the court official led Yan Feng to Yin'an Hall.

Yin'an Hall was brightly lit. Yan Hou was sitting in the hall, with more than ten people sitting there. The prince of the courtyard was waiting on both sides, and Yan Yun, who was tied up, stood on one side. Yan Feng had finished arranging his clothes and bowed to the Marquis of Yan. The

Marquis of Yan said angrily:"How dare you Yan Feng, do you know your guilt? Yan Feng said unjustly:"

Your Highness, I don't know what crime this official is guilty of.""

Yan Hou said:"How dare you falsely convey the Gu family's decree, lure Yan Yun out late at night, and frame Yan Yun for the crime of assassinating the Gu family.

Yan Feng said:"Your Highness!" The official has never seen Yan Yun tonight, how can he falsely report that His Highness Jun intends to frame Yan Yun for the crime of assassinating His Highness? Your Highness must not listen to Yan Yun's words. I hope Your Highness will learn from it! Yan

Yun was so furious that his veins bulged and his eyes were about to burst out. He shouted at the top of his lungs:"Yanfeng pickles you, you monster!" Why did you frame me! Yan

Feng calmly said:"It's reasonable but don't speak loudly. As a younger brother, I can't respect you dearly. How can I frame you!" Brother, not younger brother, is talking about you, so why are you a traitor and never change your character? He didn't give up after killing the father of His Highness' beloved concubine Shang Feiyan in Yulong County. Today he came to assassinate Shang Feiyan and Your Highness again. He is so murderous and unrepentant. It's really outrageous! Yan

Yun was so angry that he trembled all over, gritted his teeth and said,"Yan Feng kills the talent!" With sweet talk and sword in my belly, I regret that I killed you, a creature inferior to a beast!"

Yan Feng said:"You finally revealed your true nature as a wolf, and you are so cruel in front of His Highness! He turned to Marquis Yan and said,"Your Highness, please punish Yan Feng for his crime!" My brother Yan Yun committed murder, borrowed money, committed all kinds of evil, and selfishly did not report his evil deeds to His Highness, which led to His Highness's current disaster. Fortunately, His Highness Hong Fu Qitian was safe and sound, otherwise Yan Feng would have died without a burial place!"I bowed my head four times and begged Your Highness to forgive my brother Yan Yun's death penalty. If my brother goes away, Yan Feng'an can live alone in the world!"" Tears burst into tears.

Marquis Yan said:"Vice Lieutenant Yan, Yan Yun is your brother?"

Yan Yun said:"Forgive me, Yan Feng, for deceiving the emperor! When Fang Xun recommended his brother to serve as an errand in front of His Highness, Yan Feng was in a private relationship and it was not easy to tell His Highness openly. Yan Feng tried his best to stop him, but it was a pity that he was humble and spoke softly. I hope Your Highness will fulfill my brotherhood and spare my brother’s life!"

"What a Yanfeng! To fulfill my brotherhood, where can I put the royal face at all! Unless Yan Yun is removed, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"Shang Feiyan walked up to Yin'an Palace with great momentum.

Marquis Yan said:"Feiyan hasn't rested yet. Shang

Feiyan said:"I have wanted to rest for a long time, but I was afraid that my head would be missing in my sleep!" Your Highness must not spare Yan Yun lightly. That Yan Yunpocai killed his father in revenge for his kindness in the past, and got away with it relying on the protection of the dog man. Today he committed a heinous crime, which cannot be punished! I hope His Highness will make a clear decision!"

Yan Hou Zhao Dezhao stood up and walked around, thinking about it over and over again, unable to make up his mind.

Shang Feiyan urged:"Your Highness, you must continue to suffer from the chaos, and you can't hesitate any longer!"Justice to the Court" Drag the assassin Yan Yun out and execute him on the spot!"

In April, the spring returns, the ground is warm, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful. At ten o'clock at noon, in Chenqiaoyi on the outskirts of Bianliang, there is a lot of traffic and hustle and bustle. At Wuling

Restaurant, Yan Yun is sitting at a table having a meal, dejected; Yan Hou's voice rings in his ears Voice:"The light of a firefly can't illuminate anyone, but I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and find another place to rest.""

Yan Yun was in a low mood, thinking: For more than two years, he had been searching for his background and fame, but he had found nothing. His eldest brother Fang Xun, who had finally found him, was on an errand in the Yanhou Mansion, but was framed by Yan Feng and expelled from the Hou Mansion. He was desperate and had no choice. He went to seek refuge with Guo Jin, the Marquis of Suting. The Marquis of Su had gone to serve in Xishan, the border fortress.Isn’t it the right place for you to make achievements? I planned to say goodbye to Brother Fang Xun and go to Xishan to join Suhou. I went to Liangcheng County Prince's Palace several times to say goodbye to Brother Fang. However, Brother Fang was not in the military room of the palace, so I had to write a letter and ask the gate officer Gao Rui to forward it to my brother; in Jinzhou Xiangjun To take the blame for Yanfeng, Suhou's old subordinate Xiangjun commander Tian Qin looked at Suhou's favor and spared him. Suhou was selfless and strict in running the army. Even the emperor gave him three orders. He is a guilty person. Can Suhou see the details and wash away the taint of Jinzhou? If not, what should I do? If you don't surrender to the Marquis of Su, if you shamelessly ask Brother Fang to do some errand in the capital, how can the capital be as satisfying as making achievements with one sword and one shot on the battlefield! If Marquis Su couldn't make a clear decision for a while, wouldn't he become a piece of meat on the chopping board?

Yan Yun was thinking anxiously. Two people walked in from outside the wine shop and sat down at Yanyun's table. One is tall and the other is short. Short, wretched and ugly, short and skinny, with gold stamps on his cheeks (he was a prisoner), small nose, small eyes, small square face, withered and yellow hair, pale complexion, a flat nose, a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and yellow toad eyes. With a sword hanging on his waist, Yan Yun recognized Yang Mao, the official of Liangcheng County Prince's Mansion. Tall, with a pointed head, short eyebrows, rat eyes, rosacea, windy ears, pale skin, and a sharp sword hanging from his waist.

Yang Mao was so arrogant that he drew out his saber and swiped it on the table. Yanyun's dishes fell to the floor with a clatter, and he cursed:"Yanyun pig! Open your pig's eyes and see who this man is?"

The guests of Wuling Restaurant saw Yangmao approaching fiercely and ran out one after another. The waiter came over in a hurry and said with a smile:"Sir! Guest! Calm down and let's talk. Let's talk!"

Yang Mao slammed the blade of the knife on the waiter's head. The waiter was hit and fell unconscious. The store owner hid in one place and did not dare to show his face.

Yan Yun's thoughts were brought back, and he thought: It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's see what happens to this guy.

Yang Mao said:"You little bird! You are so damn lucky. Grandpa won't take you to see an official, but wants you to see Yuan Chao, the number one swordsman in Tokyo City, 'Pointy Tai Sui', and Xingzhou Marshal An Guojunjie" The ambassador is Li Weidong's close nephew, Renyong Lieutenant (9th grade) of the Liangcheng County Prince's Mansion!"

Yan Yun felt that Yuan Chao looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered: Yuan Chao is by no means a kind person, and he passed through Xingzhou in the capital to take the exam. The black horse that Uncle Shang gave him was snatched away by Yuan Chao's evil slaves. I am afraid that he came here with bad intentions today, but after all, he is an official of the palace. He had no choice but to salute and said:"The common people have seen Captain Yuan."

Yuan Chao looked up to him. With a straight face, he paid no attention.

Yang Mao said:"What a logistics to gather birds! I also speak to Grandpa Yuan Shaoshuai. To tell you the truth, the young marshal's sword is invincible in the world. What I hate the most is that you are an arrogant thing like a flea on a cow's nose. I want you to decide whether to male or female. In fact, Bujue also knows that you are a mother, but the young handsome grandpa told you to die with all his heart, so that the King of Hell would not blame him for having no one to teach you in the world!"
