The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Yun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to beat his Yangmao severely, but when he thought about Chai Sima's warning,"Don't bother the king, don't let the king's love for you down!" It is to repay the favor to the king. Thinking of the shameless creature, he remained silent.

Yuanda couldn't hold it any longer and cursed:"Yang Mao is a slut, you dare to insult my seventh brother, you are looking for death!" He reached out and grabbed Yang Mao's collar.

Looking again, Yang Mao's feet were already more than two feet above the ground. It turned out that Gao Qiong was gently lifting him up. Yang Mao turned pale with fright, and said hurriedly:"Brother of the Gao family, why are you like this? Yang Mao and you have never had any grudges in the past."

Gao Qiong said,"We have no grudges, but the Sa family just doesn't want you to bully others. If you don't apologize to Yan Yun, don't blame the Sa family's men for being ruthless!"

Yang Mao begged,"Brother Gao, spare your life! Spare your life! It's not that Yang Mao insulted him. Everything Yang Mao said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."

Gao Qiong said:"Oh! It's not difficult for you to get the Sa family to trust you. The Sa family is no match for Yanyun, the sick man. If you beat the Sa family, the Sa family will believe you."

Yangmao thought to himself: Even if he has ten, two Even ten of them were no match for Gao Qiong, so he had to beg for mercy again and again:"Brother Gao Qiong, spare your life, spare your life!"

Gao Qiong said,"I'm not asking for Sa's family, but for that sick man."

Yang Mao was at a disadvantage and hurriedly begged Yan Yun for mercy:" Brother Yan, because we grew up together when we were young, and because my uncle is your family’s benefactor, please spare me! I don’t dare to talk nonsense anymore, I beg Brother Yan to spare me this time!"

Yan Yun said:"Brother Gao, please let go."

Gao Qiong let go. Yang Mao landed tremblingly on the ground, steadied his feet, and saluted Yan Yun and Gao Qiong repeatedly. Yan Yun was really too lazy to look at him and waved his hand. Yang Mao stumbled back to his seat.

Yan Yun felt that Gao Qiong was venting his anger on him, so he was naturally relieved. However, his behavior was rude. In public, he sent the prince to the school Wei Yangmao to teach him a lesson. However, due to etiquette, he still had to thank each other. He clasped his fists and said:"Gao Qiong Brother, Yan Yun thanks you!"

Gao Qiong opened his mouth and said:"Haha! Thank you for what. You are a sick man who is not weak in martial arts, why are you always in a daze? That guy Yangmao is a soft bully. It's hard to be scared, just two words: 'Deserves a beating'’！"

Yuanda was very happy and said:"Brother Gao is really refreshing. These people are your chivalrous people. We hate meeting each other so late. Come and have a drink in the dark!" He casually grabbed the wine jar next to Yanyun's case and pointed at it. As soon as Gao Qiong touched the wine jar, he raised his head and drank"gu dong gu dong".

Gao Qiong laughed loudly when he saw this and said:"It's refreshing! It's refreshing!" He looked at Yan Yun and said,"Sick man, why don't you just relax for a while?"

As soon as Yan Yun touched the table, there was no wine jar.

Gao Qiong shouted:"Come here, please bring some jars of wine." After a while, several servants came over in a hurry with several jars of wine.

Yan Yun picked up a wine jar, quickly opened the lid, lifted it up and watched the wine pour into his mouth. This is catharsis from heavy oppression.

Ma Xi held the wine glass and stared at Yan Yun, with his mouth open, stunned.

Gao Qiong said happily:"I didn't expect a sick man to be so straightforward!" Without showing any signs of weakness, he raised the wine jar and drank.

Gao Qiong, Yan Yun and Yuanda got drunk and dispersed.

Yan Yun's character is withdrawn and dull, but he is not a tree. The second princess Zhao Yuanrong is infatuated with him. As long as he is off duty (off duty), Yuanrong will dress up as a man and wait for him at the yamen gate, even if he takes a short lunch break. , one look at him was enough; how could he not know that it was inappropriate to want to visit, and that Zhao Yuanrong was the daughter of the prime minister's house, so what would she think if he went rashly? What will others think? It is not an exaggeration to find reasons for herself. She has known him and experienced life and death together.

As for Zhao Yuanchun, he only has admiration, admiration and admiration for Yan Yun. He looks up at the high mountains and stops at the scenery. Although he cannot reach it, his heart yearns for it. Zhao Yuanchun's elegant temperament is as spotless as the fairy in the Moon Palace. You have to look up to see it. He is unattainable and unattainable, and his admiration is deeply buried in his heart.

Yan Yun rarely visited the Zhao sisters whenever he had free time. Under the persuasion of her sister, Zhao Yunrong's words became less willful and more tender and considerate of a girl. Yan Yun and Yuan Rong fell in love and gradually developed into a couple.

The first month has passed in a blink of an eye, and sisters Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Yuanrong bid farewell to Zhao Guangyi, the prince of Liang County and the governor of Zhangzhou, and want to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tokyo. Zhao Guangyi ordered his guest, Cen Chongxin, to prepare enough travel expenses for the Zhao sisters, including two carriages, one for the Zhao sisters to ride on, and one to transport the Zhao sisters' belongings and gifts for Prime Minister Zhao Pu. Zhao Guangyi did not lose his preamble and sent Yan Yun, the accompanying military officer, to escort him. Zhao Guangyi wrote a letter to Prime Minister Zhao Pu and asked Zhao Yuanchun to deliver it to his father. Zhao Guangyi took his entourage Jia Su, Chai Yuxi, Gao Qiong, and Wang Zhao to send the Zhao sisters to Zhangzhou Shili Changting. He watched the Zhao sisters' carriage disappear gradually before returning to the Yamen.

In the two carriages of the Zhao sisters, one was driven by Mi Chao, a servant of Zhangzhou Yamen, and the other was Yanyun Xiaosi Pei Ji. The yamen servant of Michaozhangzhou Yamen was in his thirties. He flattered Yang Mao and made him his godfather. Yang Mao naturally took care of him. This time, Yang Mao was responsible for escorting the princess back to Beijing.

The carriage of the Zhao sisters driven by Pei Ji. A carriage carrying goods. Yun Rong was unwilling to ride in the carriage, so she disguised herself as a man and cleared the way for Yan Yun in front of the carriage. Yan Rong and Yan Yun's martial arts were striding like lightning, and intentionally or unintentionally they threw the two carriages a hundred steps behind them. The carriage drove quickly, and the two of them walked quickly, always keeping a hundred steps apart. Yuan Chun knew what Yuan Rong was thinking, and also knew that Yuan Rong was not as good as Yan Yun in lightness and would tire Yuan Rong if he walked too fast, so she ordered Pei Ji and Mi Chao to drive the carriage slower; she knew that it was a rare opportunity for them to have a heart-to-heart conversation. It will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again when I return to Tokyo.

Xianrong had never been happier, and laughter like silver bells filled the whole road. Seeing her smiling happily, Yan Yun felt particularly comfortable inside. He just tried his best to hide the joy in his heart and walked more briskly.

Yuanrong smiled as brightly as a flower and said,"Huailong, you said you wanted to teach me Qinggong, have you forgotten?"

Yanyun said,"It only takes a while and a half."

Yuanrong smiled and scolded:"You again? You are deceiving me! You must be afraid that if I catch up with you, you will be embarrassed, right?"

Yan Yun said:"I, I would deceive you. I wish you could catch up with me."

Yanrong said:"Really?"

Yanyun said:"Really."

Yunrong blinked his big eyes as bright as autumn water and said:"Why?"

Yanyun said:"If you catch up with me in Qinggong, I will I won't worry anymore."

Yunrong felt hot in her heart, but she said,"You can just worry about it! You don't have to protect me anymore, right?"

Yanyun said:"Yes."

Yunrong said He said:"Yeah! You are so cruel! I don't want you to teach me Qing Kung anymore."

Yan Yun was stupid and said:"No - no."

He said resentfully:"What is it?"

Yan Yun scratched He raised his head, thought for a while, and coaxed:"I told you - you to worry about me."

Yan Rong said:"You -, when was I not worried about you? You shuttled through the forest of swords and guns all day long, and I was always on tenterhooks.

" Yun said:"Oh! No need, I am lucky and I am born in the year of the cat."

Yun Rong said:"Being a errand wielding swords and guns is not a long-term solution after all. When I return to Beijing, I will ask my father to change it for you." It is not difficult for you to be a civil servant and you have won the Civil Service Examination."

Yan Yun suddenly stopped and said:"No, no! Liang JunThe great kindness has not been repaid, so I can't hide in peace!"

Yanrong knew that he was a man of deep love and righteousness who could not resist disobedience, so he no longer made it difficult for him to talk about martial arts. Regarding martial arts, these two people are like-minded and like-minded, and they talked very well.

Yuanrong is lively and cheerful, with a cheerful personality. Extroverted, he also knew that this time Yan Yun sent her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if he wanted to meet her again, it would be like going to heaven. This time he would definitely seize the opportunity to express his true feelings, and he must not hesitate again, and said:"Huailong, do you know the laws of this dynasty? Men who do not marry after the age of twenty and girls who do not marry after the age of fifteen are punished."

Yan Yun said:"I also heard Jia Changshi say it, but it hasn't been promulgated yet."

Why don't you wait until the marriage is passed before you get married?" Yun Rong said."

Yan Yun didn't know how to answer.

Yun Rong said anxiously:"You - you really haven't thought about it. From now on - from now on.——"

Yan Yun's thoughts returned to reality, feeling lost, and said:"You are a mandarin duck in the sky, Yan Yun is just a jackdaw on the ground, that is - just if you are willing - you——"

Yuan Rong said:"Are you afraid that my father will say no?"

Yan Yun said:"It's not right to be in a wrong family. That's natural."

Yuan Rong didn't know what he was thinking about. He thought for a long time and said decisively:"If the father really doesn't If you agree, I will elope with you."

There was a trace of fear on Yan Yun's face, he thought for a moment, and said:"Wandering around the world and sleeping in the frost, how can such hardship be tolerated by a noble person like you?" She stared at him resentfully, He said angrily:"You think I haven't experienced any hardships. I was born at the age of eight.————Are you afraid that I will drag you down - drag you down to achieve fame and wealth?"

Yan Yun hasn't thought of this yet. He feels vaguely afraid of her thoughts and is deeply shocked by her infatuation. But who can predict what will happen in the future? A pair of moved eyes looked at her with tears in their eyes, looking at her His eyes were unquestionable, and he couldn't think too much. He said deeply,"It's hard for you to blame me!""

Yanrong also understood his heart at this time, with a fond and reassuring smile on his face, and said:"As long as we can be together day and night!"

Yan Yun was so excited that she stopped unconsciously and couldn't help but hold her hand tightly. Yan Yun didn't know how much force he used. Although the pain was felt by Yan Yun, it was dispelled by his warmth.

Yan Yun and his party walked through the night at dawn. After walking for seven or eight days, we arrived at Luozhou. The red sun was already setting in the west. It was warm and then cold in the early spring, and the evening wind blew so hard that people could not help but shiver. Not far away, there was a thin, withered, bow-legged middle-aged man. The man was standing on the roadside. When the thin man saw Yan Yun, he walked up to him quickly, bowed and bowed eight times, and said with a charming smile:"I have long admired you, Lieutenant Yan!" Long time admiration! Little Hong Ke welcomes the captain! Yan

Yun stopped and looked at the visitor carefully. He had never seen him before, and said,"Your Majesty, you made a mistake."

Hong Ke said with a smile:"Your Majesty, are you Yan Huailong, the accompaniment of Prince Liang?" Yan Yun said:"

Exactly.""

Hong Ke said:"Little Hong Ke welcomes you respectfully as ordered by the master!

Yan Yun said,"May I ask your master Gao's name?"

Hong Ke said:"My master is Jin Huarong, the commander of Bu Luozhou's horse army.""

When Yan Yun heard the three words"Jin Huarong", his head was buzzing and he wanted to explode. That was the enemy who killed his father and could not forget it even when he was sleeping. He was stunned and expressionless for a while. A surprised and dazed expression appeared on Zhao Yuanrong's face..

When Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong were stunned. A man of medium build, in his forties, and a dozen servants came forward from behind Hong Ke and bowed. He had a fair complexion, swollen eyes, and garlicky eyes. He has three black beards on his nose, a soap gauze corner clustered flower scarf on his head, a purple embroidered collared robe with a round breast, an exquisite jade sash around his waist, and a pair of gold-threaded green soap boots. He smiled brightly and said:"Captain Yan has been working hard all the way, and the commanding officer of the Luozhou Horse Infantry Army, Jin Huarong, is late to welcome him, Haihan, Haihan!

Yan Yun said:"You are Jin Huarong."

Jin Huarong didn't care and said with a smile,"That's right." Yan

Yun thought: There are naturally people with the same name and surname in the world. Could this person in front of him be the enemy who killed his father? He said,"Have you ever served as the magistrate of Tuzheng County in Dingzhou?""

Jin Huarong thought: He didn't expect that he and Prince Liang were separated by heaven and earth, but his personal guard Yan Yun was quite clear about his resume. This showed that the prince still paid attention to him; he felt extremely excited and said:" Exactly, exactly down there! I didn't expect that I, a small official in a poor and remote place, would be so concerned about my superiors. I am ashamed of myself! How ashamed!"

Zhao Yuanrong's complex emotions were written on his face.

Yan Yun was extremely controlling his heart-wrenching emotions and was at a loss. Jin Huarong wanted to use Yan Yun to climb the big tree of Prince Liang, but he didn't expect The atmosphere was actually so awkward, I was confused, I didn’t know what to do, I kept laughing.end.

Zhao Yuanrong saw that Jin Huarong was in such a miserable state at his age, and felt pity for a moment, and said coldly:"Colonel Yan is just an eighth-rank casualty, why bother you, a sixth-rank general, to greet him in person?"

Jin When Huarong saw her talking to him, he calmed down and said:"Ah! Ah! Jin never chooses people based on their official rank. What a hero Yan Xiaowei is. Xiong Zhi's men under the command of Prince Liang are the ones who clean Centipede Mountain." Who is the frontline hero of the grass bandits? Who doesn’t know and who doesn’t respect him!"

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Yan Yun’s cold and frosty face and thought that he was relying on the power of Prince Liang to be domineering. He felt a faint displeasure in his heart and said,"Master Xiaowei. , General Jin is waiting for you!"

Yan Yun's cold face still showed no expression.

At this moment, Pei Ji and Mi Chao had already driven Zhao Yuanchun and the carriage loaded with goods to a stop, and Chunrong followed the carriage. Jin Huarong hurriedly rushed to the first carriage and bowed his head and saluted:"Jin Huarong, the commander of the horse and infantry commander of Luozhou, welcomes the princess Yuan Chun! The princess has been tired from driving all the way, and the junior officer prepared a simple meal in the humble house to welcome the princess. Wash the dust, and hope that the princess will not give up and come to this humble house." The maid Chunrong opened the curtain of the carriage, and Zhao Yuanchun poked his head out and said:"The general is so kind, I respect you, so I would rather obey."

Jin Huarong had just eaten Yan Yun's rejection, and saw The princess was overjoyed to resign from her humble position. She quickly ordered her servants to drive and lead the way to Jin Mansion.

Jin Huarong was transferred from the governor of Sanxia Prefecture to the commander of the Ma Bu Army in Luo Prefecture, and was still under the control of Li Weidong, the military governor of Anguo. Jin Huarong had already heard that Prince Liang had been demoted to Zhangzhou. He wanted to attach himself to Kun but had no chance. He ordered the official Hong Ke and several confidants to stay in Zhangzhou for a long time to inquire about the news. He learned that Yan Yun would escort the princess Zhao Yuanchun back to Beijing. The Luozhou border is waiting.

At night, Jin Huarong, commander of the Luozhou Horse Infantry Army, hosted a banquet for Zhao Yuanchun and his party in the deep hall of his residence. The banquet was not a sumptuous one, but it was a combination of meat and vegetables, and the food was all Jizhou flavor. These are the shrewdness of Jin Huarong. Of course it is not difficult for him to organize a luxurious banquet, but he is not a confidant of Prime Minister Zhao Pu and Prince Liang Zhao Guangyi, and he does not know the methods of Prime Minister and Prince Liang. If it is too extravagant, it may be counterproductive and corrupt the extravagance. He became the victim of two court officials who killed him as a warning to others. He knew the mystery of haste but not speed. Jizhou is the hometown of Prime Minister Zhao Pu. Although he is not present, his beloved daughter is. Jin Huarong made Prime Minister Zhao Pu feel the loyalty of his subordinates from bit by bit.

Zhao Yuanchun never disturbed the officials along the way when traveling, but this time something was unusual, and Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong were puzzled. Zhao Yuanchun has his own thoughts. The prime minister in a high position naturally has many officials who cling to him. This is a need, but the prime minister also has needs. He needs a large group of officials around him to further consolidate his position. It is impossible to have his own team in the officialdom. It is difficult to gain a foothold; if he rejects Jin Huarong's good intentions, he may be pushed into the camp of Zhao Pu's rivals. No one in the officialdom has a circle and no one has an opponent; although Jin Huarong has no relationship with the prime minister in the past. I know it, but this time I can only accept his invitation. This was also her helpless move. Jin Huarong already knew her identity, so since he couldn't hide it, he had no choice but to go with the flow. She was extremely reluctant to get involved in his father's affairs, but due to her status, she had to build roads and bridges across mountains and rivers, and act with discretion. The best way is to live in the embroidered building of the prime minister's mansion and not hear what is going on outside the window.
