The dream of a lonely hero

At the banquet, five people sat around a round table. Jin Huarong and his wife Li Weiqing accompany each other. Zhao Yunrong disguised herself as a man and still had the identity of the prime minister's son. Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Yuanrong sat at the main seats. Next to Zhao Yuanrong was Jin Huarong. Next to Jin Huarong was Yan Yun. Next to Yan Yun was Zhao Yuanchun. Next to Zhao Yuanchun was Li Weiqing. Jin Huarong and his wife, Li Weiqing, have pleasant smiles, are kind and trustworthy, as if they are seeing loved relatives and friends reunited after a long absence. Most of their words are flattering, but on the surface they look very natural and do not appear to be artificial. Li Weiqing added food to Yuan Chun and said with a smile:"When the princess saw you, the old woman realized that the beautiful scenery of the country, the sunken fish and the falling geese, and the closed moon and the shy flowers were definitely not words imagined by the Confucian scholars. It really made Xizi angry to death, so embarrassed. Shame on Chang'e! Hee hee!"

Jin Huarong:"Haha! Madam, you only know one but not the other. You only know that the princess is beautiful and beautiful, but you don't know that the princess is unparalleled in talent, knowledgeable about the past and present, and is extraordinary in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now!"

Li Weiqing said in surprise:"Oh - oh! Tsk! I would never have thought that such a beautiful lady, even if I beat her to death, could be a learned and talented person! She is both talented and beautiful! She is really both talented and beautiful! When the old woman saw the county The life of a person like the master is really not in vain! The princess has made all the men in the world feel ashamed!"

Jin Huarong thought: Madam said this in front of the Prime Minister's son and Yan Yun, it seems to be praising each other and belittling each other, and blaming He glanced at Madam and said hurriedly:"Madam, you have long hair but short knowledge. Mr. Zhao is also a man of extraordinary talents. Colonel Yan is very skilled in martial arts. We, the foolish men and women, can see these three extraordinary talents today." , that is the blessing we have gained through cultivation in three lifetimes!"

Li Weiqing followed the wind and turned the helm:"Hee hee! She is a fool with long hair and short knowledge. Don't be surprised. When seeing these three wizards, can you make the fool speak incoherently without excitement?! The princess, the young master, and Captain Yan are laughing at each other! They are laughing at each other!" He stood up to apologize.

Yuan Chun stood up and helped her sit down, saying:"That's ridiculous! The slave family is just like a willow tree, not like the talented ones that the capital school said."

Li Weiqing said:"The princess is too modest! If there is a tiger father, there must be a tiger daughter. Your Majesty is full of knowledge and is unparalleled in the country. He has taught the princess in a subtle way. The princess's knowledge is extraordinary, but the princess is not aware of it. If I can follow your father and learn a little bit, it will not be in vain. I don't know the princess. Can you be considerate and ask your Majesty to accept this humble disciple who cannot be cultivated?"

Yuan Chun thought for a moment and said:"If General Jin acts in his rightful place and has the community in mind and fulfills his duties, the officials will have their own examinations and the imperial court will naturally reward him. Why worry about not being able to succeed in nine turns? My father admires the officials who work hard, and it is my father's responsibility to select and appoint talents. Whether he can become my father's disciple does not matter whether he is public or private."

Yuan Chun replied, neither humble nor arrogant.. Jin Huarong secretly admired him, but on the surface he had to blame his wife and said angrily:"How can you, a fool like you, talk nonsense about important matters in the court?

" Li Weiqing followed the wind and said with a smile:"My husband is right, you fool." A woman is a fool! How can a foolish woman dare to talk about the affairs of the court? She just admires the knowledge of the Prime Minister and wants her husband to learn a thing or two from the Prime Minister, so that she can open her mind and avoid being plotted by villains."

Jin Huarong said:"Shut up! I didn't listen to what the princess said. As long as you care about the country and fulfill your duties, the court and the prime minister will not treat you badly, so there is no need for you to talk! Yuan Chun said with a smile:"

General, don't be angry!" When the generals leave the civil service and join the military (they leave the civil service and take up the military service), they are very active in the army. It is right for the lady to devote herself to the capital school."

Li Weiqing said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes:"The princess is really considerate!"Then he had a cordial conversation with Yuan Chun.

When Yuan Chun saw Yuan Chun excusing Li Weiqing, his face was filled with resentment. Jin Huarong stood up and respectfully invited Yuan Rong and Yan Yun to have a drink, and said enthusiastically:"Young Master, General, let's have a light meal. , a glass of water and wine is disrespectful."Yan Rong expressionlessly picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp. Yan Yun's face was ashen and indifferent, and his heart was full of emotions, Jin Huarong! Jin Huarong! These three words can't be forgotten even in dreams. The enemy who killed his father is so close at hand, and he can't wait to immediately His body was cut into thousands of pieces, the veins on his forehead popped out, the crown of his teeth was clenched, and the fists under the table were clenched so hard that his joints made a"clucking" sound. Jin Huarong said carefully:"Captain Yan, please drink this cup."Yan Yun ignored it indifferently. Jin Huarong was sitting still. When Yanrong was talking to Li Weiqing, he saw this and said,"Colonel Yan, Sir General, are you toasting with a drink? Yan Yun mechanically stood up and grabbed the wine glass, saying coldly:"How do you drink Jin Huarong?""This sentence stunned Jin Huarong and gave him a speechless reply. The atmosphere was very awkward. Yuan Rong smiled and said:"Colonel Yan is joking, how can I drink wine?

Yan Yun said:"How can you be happy drinking like this?""

Jin Huarong said cautiously:"I wonder how the captain can drink so that he can be happy?

Yan Yun said:"How about getting a few jars, one jar for you and one jar for me?""

Jin Huarong was stunned for a moment, then his worries turned into joy:"Haha! So cool, so cool! Lieutenant Yan is so heroic, good job! Just drink it."He then ordered his servants to bring a few jars of wine.

Yan Yun grabbed the wine jar, opened the lid, raised it and drank with a"gu dong dong". Jin Huarong had no choice but to drink from the wine jar as soon as he said it. After a while, everyone drank two. Jar. Li Weiqing looked at Yuan Rong with pleading eyes. Yuan Rong said:"Colonel Yan, don't drink too much, as excessive drinking will harm your health! Don’t forget Prince Liang’s errand."Yan Yun was extremely depressed. With the enemy who killed his father right in front of him, instead of being able to avenge him, he was chatting and drinking with him. His heart was as confused as a knife, and his heart was like a knife. Just as he was raising the third jar, he heard his persuasion and said:"General Jin, This jar - I'll take this jar with me and drink from it.

Jin Huarong smiled and said:"Easy to say, easy to say!" There are so many captains, not to mention one jar, but more than a dozen jars."

After the banquet, Jin Huarong ordered tea. Each drank half a cup of tea. Jin Huarong ordered his servants to bring four baskets of gifts, including walnuts, chestnuts, sweet chestnuts, and jujubes, and said:"These are all natives of Jizhou. A few days ago, Mr. Yamen went to Jizhou on official business to bring it to his subordinates. Today, I just happened to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and asked the princess and the prince to forward it to the Prime Minister. Although it is not a rare delicacy, it is produced in my hometown after all. Mr. Xiangguo has been working tirelessly for the country all day long. He is far away from his hometown and it is inconvenient to eat something from his hometown. This time it is really God's blessing. Yuan Chun said:"

Being respectful is better than obeying orders. The little girl thanked the general on behalf of her father.""

The servants of Jin's house presented three more gifts, a pipa, a volume of"The Analects of Confucius", and a Qingfeng sword, which were given to Yuan Chun, Yan Yun, and Qian Rong respectively. Although they are not rare treasures, they are all Jin Hua's. Rong previously sent spies to learn about Dao Yuanchun and Yan Yun's preferences and prepared them specially. The spies did not learn about the details of Mr. Zhao (Yan Rong). Mr. Zhao's gifts were temporarily prepared by Jin Huarong. These gifts did not cost much, and they were far away. Far from being a bribe, Yan Yun and Yuan Rong stopped refusing when they saw Yuan Chun accept it. Jin Huarong and his wife kept asking Yuan Chun and his party to stay in Jin Mansion, but Yuan Chun declined politely. Jin Huarong had no choice but to place them in Luo Zhou Duanjin Inn.

On the second floor of the Duanjin Inn, Yuanchun and the maid Chunrong lived in a guest room. Yanyun and Yuanrong each lived in a room. Pei Ji and Mi Chao lived in the downstairs room. Jin Huarong also expected that at that time He would not stay in Jin Mansion when he arrived in Yuanchun. He had already ordered the owner of Duanjin Inn not to accept other guests, so the inn was very quiet. Yan Yun returned to the guest room, pacing like an ant on a hot pot, and walked to and from time to time. He listened attentively for the movement at the door and felt that Yuan Chun and others had rested. He quickly opened his bags, took out his black night clothes, put them on his body, put on his black mask, picked up his sword, quietly opened the window, jumped up to the ridge of the roof, and ran straight to the door. Jin Mansion.

Jin Huarong and several domestic slaves took Yuan Chun and his entourage to Duanjin Inn and returned to the back hall of Jin Mansion. Li Weiqing, who was lame, limped around when he saw Jin Huarong and yelled:"Jin Huarong, you are a fool Useless slave! What is Zhao Yuanchun? He is full of arrogance. Isn't he just a bit pretty? Arty and disgusting! If it weren't for his father, I would have sold her to a brothel! Zhao Ronglang was like a monster, his eyes were so cold that he wanted to eat my mother, Yan Yun, who was clinging to grass and clinging to trees, had a dark face and cold eyes, like a zombie, all of them were like ferocious gods, fighting against the power of others! You are also a high-ranking person, but you are cowardly, like a mouse shaving a cat and trying its best to flatter itself! Be careful if your flattery hits the horse's leg and he will kick you to death!"

Jin Huarong was worried and said cautiously:"Madam, madam, my ancestors! Keep your voice down, keep your voice down! Those are ancestors who can't afford to offend. They are worthy of being a seventh-grade maid, and Zhao Rong and Zhao Yuanchun are the Prime Minister's Sons and daughters! Although Yanyun Dagui is a ninth-grade idler, he is a popular man under the command of his imperial brother Liangjun Wang Zhao Guangyi! As long as these ancestors blow a hint of evil in front of their master, I will lose my official position or be sent to the army at worst! Madam is the best A smart person, how can he not know the pros and cons of this?"

Li Weiqing said angrily:"You useless bastard! You still want them to give you a salary and an official position, but I tell you that you are hoping that the wild boar will not survive the New Year!"

Jin Huarong said:"Madam! Even if these people cannot be friends or superiors, they must not be enemies!"

Li Weiqing said:"You are a good guy! Don't try to climb another branch. If it weren't for my brother, why would you be a sixth-rank general?" ? My brother is really generous to you, and I have never seen you treat him so filially. You are so ungrateful and ungrateful!"

Jin Huarong hurriedly smiled with his face and said:"Madam, what you said is wrong! My brother is so kind to me, and I will never forget it.! At the end of last year, the imperial court took back Sanlu Prefecture, a branch county under the jurisdiction of my elder brother, and asked civil servants to know the affairs of the state. Seeing that I was about to become an idle official with nothing to do, my elder brother's great and thoughtful efforts made me transfer to Luozhou General School after serving as a civil servant."

Li Weiqing said. :"Don't forget the man who dug the well when you're drinking water! Don't rely on this mountain to count on any other mountain. It's better to count on anyone than your brother!"

Jin Huarong coaxed,"That's right! Madam taught me a lesson, Madam taught me a lesson!"

Li Weiqing said,"Bah!"! You worthless idiot, if I hadn’t taught you all the time, you would have become a beggar long ago!"

Jin Huarong was obedient and kept apologizing. After a while, Li Weiqing's anger slowly dropped and he said:"Slavish and fawning. You're a slave! You want to be a slave, I want you to have enough fun, why don't you bring me foot washing water and wait for a beating!"

Jin Hua Rong Weiwei kept saying, brought her foot washing water, soaked her feet, and took the footbath go out. As soon as he went out, a cold light hit his face. Jin Huarong felt something bad on the side of his head. He felt the hot liquid from his ear flow into his collar. The basin he held splashed onto the ground, and he did a forward somersault and rolled to the patio.

That cold light was a cold and sharp sword. The wielder of the sword was covered in black and was none other than Yan Yun who came to seek revenge. Yan Yun stabbed Jin Huarong in the ear with his sword. He saw him leaping to the patio and flying close to him on tiptoes. He ran up, middle and down three directions to"swipe" more than a dozen swords, alternating between virtual and real, with lightning speed and rapid momentum. Fierce and cruel. Jin Huarong was still in shock. He hurriedly held the copper basin with both hands to cover his left and right sides. He was hit by several swords. Blood was bleeding from the wounds on his wrists, arms, chest, ribs and calves. He fell to the ground with a"plop". Yan Yun jumped up and held the Qinglong Sword in his hand,"Strengthening Huashan", forcing him to strike hard on the top of his head. The force of the sword was as fierce as a tide and was unstoppable. If this sword struck him, it would definitely split him into two pieces. In an instant, a cold light above Jin Huarong blocked the"clang" sound of the Qinglong Sword, and the Qinglong Sword struck the spine of a sword. The man holding the sword was also dressed in black, with black satin covering his face. The masked man expected that the assassin (Yan Yun) was coming with a fierce and thunderous force, and it would be difficult for him to block his sword, so he blocked it with the spine of the sword instead of the blade. All the strength of Yan Yun's body was poured into the Qinglong Sword, shaking the mountains and shaking the mountains and rivers. The masked man's sword was really not blocked. The masked man's sword spine was struck hard by Yan Yun Qinglong's sword. The sword spine hit the top of Jin Huarong's head, which made Jin Huarong's ears ring and he fainted.

When Li Weiqing heard the sound, he thought Jin Huarong accidentally fell down and cursed:"What a useless thing! If you can't even do this little thing well, I'm really blind to marry a fool like you!" He walked to the door and took a look. He fainted from fright and fell against the door.

Yan Yun was about to kill Jin Huarong. To avenge his father, a masked man appeared on the way, which made him extremely angry. His swordsmanship became even more ferocious and violent, using all the moves of the Mishan School to kill people. His unique skill,"The wind stirs and the thunder rages endlessly""、"The thunderous thunder stirred up flying hail"、""The anger is like the pure mirror light of the mountains." The horses are fierce and fast, the stars are galloping away, the thunder is fierce, and the clouds of sword light are overwhelming, covering the masked man. The masked man deals with it carefully, the sword in his hand is like a brocade cloud covering the sun, and the changes are from The heart is shaped like autumn water, the body is following the sword, the spirit is combined with the sword, squandering vertically and horizontally, walking like a swimming dragon, graceful like a flying giant, following the wind, drifting up and down, like light clouds covering the moon, floating like the returning wind dancing with snow; The method is strong and light, the movement is elegant and graceful, the appearance is soft and gentle, but the connotation is murderous. The two fought fiercely for seven or eight rounds, but Yan Yun had no intention of fighting. The move"waves filled the sky with anger" was as fast as lightning, and the tip of the sword pierced this place. There was a"clang" sound from the masked man's chest. Soon enough, the tip of the masked man's sword had already reached Yan Yun's ear. Yan Yun wanted to draw the sword, but he couldn't do it in time. His head quickly tilted, and his cheek The one-inch-long gash was still cut open, and blood seeped out. The masked man took a few steps back.

At this time, a group of evil slaves from the Jin Mansion swarmed in with weapons in hand. Yan Yun raised the Qinglong Sword to slash vertically and horizontally, killing and wounding. More than a dozen domestic slaves fought their way out, pointed their toes to the ground, and flew into the night. The masked man jumped onto the ridge of the roof and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Yan Yun jumped all the way over the ridge of the house, flying over the eaves and walls, and in a moment, he flew in through the window In his own guest room, he took off the black mask and threw it on the table, extremely depressed,"Oh! Also, Jin Hua, a common man, escaped with his life!"Wondering: When - when will this deep hatred be repaid!

Suddenly, the masked man in black came in through the window, unable to gain a firm footing. Yan Yun's instinctive reflex suddenly drew out the Green Dragon Sword and struck the man's neck quickly. The masked man was caught off guard. Quickly shouting"Yan Yun stop!""Yan Yun was really skilled in martial arts. The sword edge had already touched the man's neck. He stopped the powerful sword force and said,"Who are you?"

The masked man in black recognized it as Yan Yun, grabbed the window and entered without any preparation for a fight, so he fell into a desperate situation. Without answering, he slowly opened the black brocade covering his face.

Yan Yun couldn't help but be shocked,"Ah! You - it's you!"Cang clang" the Qinglong Sword fell to the ground in his hand.
