The dream of a lonely hero

Deng Er stood up in pain and his belly was scratched by the ground. There were a few bloody marks like iron brooms. He cursed:"Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, Huang Gou, they were all so frightened that they peed their pants! Just because we are so cruel.""The captain, Yan Feng, has raised me to discipline the good and the weak. Will there be food if this continues? If I can't control Yan Yun today, I will have to beg for food. What are you waiting for? Damn you guys." After saying that, he picked up the shovel that fell to the ground and started again. Rush towards Yan Yun. Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou picked up iron shovels, iron rakes, and iron pickaxes, and relied on the strength of their numbers to besiege Yanyun. Yan Yun was secretly happy, but worried that he would not have the chance to deal with these scoundrels; afraid of hurting the dying Xiangjun, he flew out of the pergola, his fists were like meteors and his feet were like lightning, like a hungry tiger coming out of the forest, with a force like a storm and a force like thunder, avoiding the He opened Deng Er's shovel and grabbed his wrist. Deng Er couldn't break free. He kicked Deng Er's bulging belly with dozens of"dong dong" kicks like playing a drum. He let go of Deng Er's wrist and Deng Er's body flew three feet away. Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou hadn't seen clearly how Deng Er was kicked away by Yan Yun. Yan Yun's"North Wind Sweeps the White Grass on the Ground" series of sweeping legs swept up a cloud of dust like a whirlwind. Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou rolled to the ground. Xu Sanwu, who was short in stature, came slowly and was too far away to be swept by Yan Yun's sweeping legs. Seeing that Deng Er, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou were all knocked down by Yan Yun, they were at a loss with their iron picks. How could Yan Yun miss this opportunity? He hit Xu San with a move called"Wild Boar". Xu San was beaten until his eyes were covered with stars, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his front teeth fell to the ground. Yan Yun only used 60% of his ten successful men. Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu and Huang Gou were, after all, the low-level petty leaders of the Xiang army and not people in the market. Yan Yun taught the fifth officer a lesson and relieved the pent-up resentment for Xiang Jun's coolies. Xiang Jun was so happy that the ninja dared not reveal it for fear that the fifth officer would settle the score in the future.

Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu and Huang Gou rolled on the ground in pain and couldn't get up for a long time. Yan Yun ignored him and walked into the pavilion to see that the unconscious Xiang Jun had woken up and invited the Xiang Jun coolies to eat. The cooks Zhang Ning and Lao Ni have already prepared it. On a table were two meat and two vegetables, a pot of wine, and a few pancakes. Zhang Ning pointed at it and said,"Invite the team leader to a meal." Yan Yun looked at it but didn't answer. On the other table were two meat and three vegetables, a pot of wine, and a basket of white steamed buns. There is also a large basket of black-faced steamed buns on a table, with two wooden barrels standing beside the table. Yan Yun opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and there was a slight smell of rotten vegetable leaves boiled in white water. Yan Yun pointed to the table of black-faced steamed buns and said,"This table belongs to me, and those two tables belong to the Xiangjun brothers. Let's eat!" The Xiangjun coolie stood there stupidly with an empty bowl, as if he had heard wrongly, and no one moved. Yan Yun said:"There are no jokes in the army, and my words are not easy to use." After hearing this, the coolie from the Xiang Army dared to move closer and carefully picked up the pancake and looked at Yan Yun. Yan Yun smiled,"Yes, eat, eat. You don't need to teach me"! The Xiangjun coolies then began to eat politely. Yan Yun said:"If you don't have enough, then you can eat at my place."

At this time, Yan Yun had an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He was wildly surprised and joyful. He was more excited than the Chinese martial arts. For the first time, he used the martial arts he had learned to punish evil, promote good, and support the weak. Strong, full of joy and joy. Chewing black-faced steamed buns with a slightly sour taste and drinking clear soup with rotten vegetable leaves were even worse than the food served during hard labor at the Muyun Inn in Bianliang, Tokyo. However, the joy in my heart diluted it all.

How could there be enough food for the Xiangjun coolies at the two tables with one team deputy and five guards? After a while, the two tables were empty. Yan Yun invited them to come over to eat.. Yan Yun said:"Brothers Xiangjun, rest over there." Xiang Jun heard the order and left the table to rest.

Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou were lying outside the pergola with bruised noses and swollen faces, looking at the people eating and drinking in the pergola and not daring to go in. Yan Yun said:"You guys have worked hard to eat here." Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou leaned against each other and got into the pergola. Deng Er said:"Mr. Yan! Thank you for your hard work!" Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou also said,"Mr. Yan! Thank you for your hard work!"

Deng Er said:"Master! This skill is really inferior to that of gods. Even before I could see clearly what Master was doing, I felt pain all over my body and was in pain."

Xu Sandao:"If you see clearly, you won't be worthy of Salmon Island."

Cao Si also joined in the fun:"Mr. Yan's kung fu is amazing! It's really eye-opening for me. Even if I die in my hands, it's worth it. It's worth it! It's not in vain!"

Deng Erdao:"Cao Si has spoken what is in our hearts. It is an honor to die in the hands of the great master. It is our glory! Wanwang, Wanwang, the great master, does not remember the faults of the villain. Don't give it to me." They have the knowledge of blind fools."

The arrogance and overbearing energy of Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou disappeared in an instant. Now it is the mouse shaving the cat and trying its best to flatter the cat. Yan Yun hated their bullying and flattery, and said:"Stop being verbose, eat quickly, and build a road over there after eating." Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou didn't dare to say anything and all went to eat. They all found it difficult to swallow. Forced by Yan Yun's authority, stretching their necks and staring was harder than eating sand. Yan Yun said to the cooks Zhang Ning and Lao Ni:"From now on, we will only cook one pot of food, and everyone from the team to the soldiers will eat together. Today, the black-faced steamed buns and vegetable soup all have a bad smell. If there is any more, you will not be spared.""! Zhang Ning and Lao Ni looked troubled, and Zhang Ning hesitated and said:"The team is right there." Yan Yun said:"I can tell you where the team is." Zhang Ning and Lao Ni Yingnuo:"I obey, little one"! Pack up the food boxes and buckets and go back to Qingsongling. Deng Er, Xu San, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou did not dare to delay after eating, and dragged their shovels, rakes, and pickaxes to build the road. The Xiang soldiers also wanted to go to work, but Yan Yun stopped them:"Hey! I didn't ask you to go, so just rest." Xiang Jun straightened up and sat down again, looking embarrassed.

Yan Yun smiled and said:"Yan is not a man-eating tiger, so what is the purpose of hiding from me like this?"

Xiang Jun, who had just been rescued by Yan Yun and was unconscious, looked at the five escort officers and walked away. He knelt down to Yan Yun and burst into tears of gratitude:"Mr. Yan! Mr. Yan! It's really the reincarnation of the living Buddha who saves the suffering. He saved me, Zeng Hei." There are three lives in the Niu family. If I die, who will support my parents who are over sixty years old?"

Yan Yun hurriedly helped Zeng Heiniu up:"Brother Zeng, there is no need to be so polite! You must not call 'Master' again. Brother Zeng, can you tell me something I don't understand?"

Zeng Heiniu:"Tai (Master) - Tai (Master), my benefactor! My benefactor! Don't call him 'Brother Zeng, Brother Zeng'. Let Hei Niu live longer! Just call him the little Hei Niu! As long as the little one is If you know, benefactor, just ask."

Yan Yun:"I won't call you eldest brother, and you won't call me benefactor, okay?"

Zeng Heiniu:"Ah, OK."

The Xiang troops saw the people of Yanyun gathering quietly around Yanyun.

Yan Yun:"The number of the Shenwu Team should be one captain, one deputy, and one custodian. Now, not counting me, there are only three corps deputies and five custodians. What's the reason for this?"

Zeng Heiniu thought:"This - this——"

Wang Cai, the commander of the Xiang Army (commander: a small officer in charge of 10 Xiang troops, who basically has no privileges in doing hard labor with the Xiang troops) interjected:"Well, where are we waiting for the young soldiers? How do I know?"

Yan Yun sensed that the team leader was deliberately prevaricating, and glared at Wang Cai, the team leader:"Who are you? Yan didn't ask you, but you answered."

One of the Xiang soldiers said:"He is the captain Wang Cai, and I am the soldier Wei Dabao." He said to Wang Cai,"What is the captain Wang afraid of? Now we have the deputy of the Yanyun team to support us. The deputy of the Yan team is the commander of the Jinzhou Xiang army." Those who came from the Si Yamen and served as the commander-in-chief of Lord Tian Qin, not to mention the Shenwu Team, even the Fifth Capital and Sixth Battalion dare not look down upon it. The leader of the team, Yan Feng, has not worshiped the deputy of the team, Yan Yun, as a god!"

Zeng Heiniu also became more energetic:"Deputy Yan! I know, I know! The excess quotas of the team deputy and custody officer were all appointed by the bastard Yan Feng."

Yan Yun looked unhappy when he heard his mother scolding him.

Zeng Heiniu saw it and said,"Both Vice Captain Yan and Yan Feng have the surname Yan. Are they brothers of the same clan?"

Yan Yun was stunned:"Ah, Yan Yun and Yan Feng are not the only ones with the surname Yan in the world. Go on."

Zeng Heiniu:"It's just a little guess. What did Yan Feng, the brother of the deputy captain, do to Yan Feng who has committed crimes and has no conscience? My whole body trembles when I mention that guy. That guy is a scoundrel from Zhenzhou. He joined the Shenwu Corps by flattering his horse and giving gifts. After paying bribes for a month or two, he became the captain of the team, and I heard that my brother-in-law, who has been handed over to the commander of the Sixth Battalion, will soon be promoted to a higher position. What is the law of heaven?"

Wei Dabao gritted his teeth:"That Yan Feng, who was cut into pieces by a thousand swords, was really a wooden carpenter after he became the leader of the team - he forgot his roots and completely ignored his friendship with the Xiang Army soldiers and picked out a few rogues to serve as guards all day long. Bullying the younger ones, the scoundrel will beat the younger ones until their skin and flesh are bruised if they don't get what they want."

Yan Yun said:"How many hours do brothers work every day?"

Zeng Heiniu:"Six hours".

Yan Yun was surprised and said:"So long"!

Zeng Heiniu:"But Yanfeng didn't say enough. The road construction distance ordered by Shangguan cannot be completed every day. I heard that the work time will be extended."

Yan Yun said:"ShangguanWhy ignore the hard work of the soldiers?

" Zeng Heiniu:"That can't be said. The Shenwu Team has a quota of 50 people, but now there are less than 30 people. There is one team leader, three team deputies, five guards, and two cooks. There are less than 20 people who actually work. We have to do the work of 50 people. How can we finish it every day?"!

Yan Yun said:"Brothers, why are you in such rags? Don't you have new military uniforms?"

Zeng Heiniu:"Yes, Yan Feng has young people who spend money to buy them."

Yan Yun said:"The Xiang army all have uniforms." It is paid out on time, how can we ask the soldiers to pay for it themselves?

" Zeng Heiniu:"Isn't it? That Yan Feng is a blood-sucking insect. The iron geese were sharpened on the tip of the needle and the hair was plucked. Not only did they eat up the vacancies of 20 Xiang troops, but they also deducted military pay from the young men. They didn’t have enough to repay the arrears every month."

Wei Dabao interjected:"No. Why does that guy have to pay filial piety to his superiors and spend a lot of time drinking and drinking? He can't live in the Shenwu Brigade camp once a month. He lives in the Zhuangyuanlou Inn in the city all day long. The three team lieutenants also live there and do their bidding. Just staying there for one day costs four to five thousand yuan. What's more? To eat, drink and go shopping, you have to pay ten thousand yuan every day."

Yan Yun said:"It's so hot now and the soldiers are working so hard, Yan Feng is not afraid of killing people"?

Wei Dabao:"That guy is really excited! If one of you dies, you can get a free quota."

Yan Yun said in surprise:"He is not afraid of Shangguan investigation and investigation."

Wei Dabao:"I have never seen any investigation and investigation. One of them died last month and nothing happened."

Zeng Heiniu, Wei Dabao When the soldiers of the Xiang Army gathered in anger, you and I reprimanded Yan Feng for his evil deeds. Yan Yun suppressed his anger and thought: This Yan Feng is just a low-ranking official who is not as big as Sesame. How dare he act so wantonly? Rape, deprivation of pay, deducting military pay, enriching personal pockets, breaking bones and sucking marrow, abusing soldiers, and taking human lives in vain are all capital crimes that are punishable by being exiled from the army or even beheaded. Is this the brother I have been separated for more than half a year? No, no, Yan Feng He will never become so unscrupulous and do many evil things. It is natural that there are people with similar surnames and similar looks in the world, and there are also those in Zhenzhou. The soldiers of the Xiang army stopped talking when they saw Yan Yun thinking deeply. Yan Yun called to the soldiers and He worked together to build a road, but there was no sign of Yan Feng and the three team lieutenants for three days in a row. According to Yan Yun's instructions, the guards and soldiers ate from the same pot and built a road together, building roads for three or four hours every day. Xiang Jun Most of the soldiers were happy. Only Wang Cai, the team leader, whispered to the soldiers,"Team deputy Yan Yun is really stupid. He will not enjoy the blessings even if he neglects them. He insists on eating, drinking and working together with the hard laborers. I have never seen such a fool in the world.""! At a quarter of noon on the fourth day, Yan Yun was working with the Xiang soldiers. Zhang Ning, the cook, ran over and"reported to the deputy of the Yan team that the team was ordering the Shenwu team to return to the Qingsongling camp quickly."

Yan Yun followed the Xiang soldiers to run back. Camp, everyone was running non-stop under the scorching sun, and a cloud of dust was raised under their feet. Along the way, Yan Yun was thinking, is that team Zheng Yanfeng really the brother he has been thinking about for days? He wants to see him immediately, but is afraid I saw him immediately. Yan Yun was very conflicted in his heart.

Two horses were tied in front of the Qingsongling barracks. Everyone ran to the Qingsongling barracks, panting, and queued up under the big tree to wait for three seconds.Yan Feng walked slowly out of the team's main barracks, followed by a team deputy.

Yan Feng wears a Sanyi crown on his head, wears a Su Luo robe, and holds a folded paper fan in his hand. He is suave, has no smile on his face, behaves arrogantly, and is arrogant. Yan Feng walked up to the team, looked up and did not look at the soldiers in front, and said in a cold and arrogant tone:"You all know the new deputy, right? He came down from the Commanding Office of the Capital, and maybe he stayed in our Shenwu Team. He will be promoted in a few days. You know that his surname is Yan, which is the same as mine, but you don't know that he and I are from the same hometown of Zhenzhou, the same clan, the same father and mother."

When the soldiers heard this, they were frightened and their faces turned pale. After Yan Yun's doubts for the past few days, the truth finally came to light. Yan Feng, the captain of the Shenwu Team, was his younger brother.

Yan Feng paced and played with the fan in his hand and said:"A few days ago, my brother Yan Yun, the deputy of the team, taught me a lesson for some incompetent guards." He said to Xu San,"Xu San! And you guys know that you are wrong?" Yet"?

Xu San was obedient:"You shouldn't - you shouldn't whip the soldiers."

Yan Feng:"Oh!" He suddenly became furious."I think Deputy Yan's lesson is not enough. I should smash your mouth full of dog teeth to gain more knowledge! These are lazy and lazy people who are ruining the rice and grain owners. Can't we do it without beating them! Can we?" Okay! Since ancient times, Dao Ci has not been in charge of troops, and you guards are so soft-hearted - so soft-hearted, so soft-hearted! There are more than a dozen lazy people who can't be controlled, so why should I bother to raise you? There is no need to care about others. Don't be embarrassed by your ability. Li Wu, stop standing in the manhole and not shitting. Stop being a prison guard. Make room for those who have the ability. Wang Cai, the team leader, will be the prison guard. You, you guys are lazy and bully Yan. When Deputy Yun first arrived, he fanned the evil wind, lit up the ghost fire, made slanderous remarks, and scolded my entire team like crazy! It's a pity that he couldn't kill me. He also beguiled Deputy Yan Yun to eat and work together, which was a wishful thinking. , Wishful thinking! You are greedy, you are greedy, right? If you want to eat the same food as a team deputy or a guard officer, you also want to stop doing hard labor, right? Okay, great! If you are ambitious, if you are ambitious, come and take this position!"

The cook, Lao Ni, brought a bowl of water to Yan Feng and said,"Team Leader! Team Leader has been talking for a long time, drink some water, drink some water."

Yan Feng took the bowl and slapped Lao Ni several times,"You old man! I'm sorry, you only buy vegetables and cook, you don't have any eyesight. After talking for a long time, I realized that the uncle is thirsty." Drink After finishing the water, he dropped the bowl heavily to the ground. Lao Ni was beaten.

Yan Feng continued:"Deputy Yan Yun won't let him calm down when he first came to the Shenwu Team. If anyone dares to disturb him by doing something bad in the Shenwu Team in the future, I will beat him to pieces!" Zeng Heiniu, Wei Dabao and other Xiangjun soldiers shuddered when they heard this.

Yan Feng:"I'm almost mad at you, I almost forgot." He walked up to Xu San and kicked him, causing Xu San to fall to the ground. Yan Feng shouted:"I'll teach you where you went wrong! Respect Shangguan, respect Shangguan, you know?"

Xu San got up and promised:"I taught you a lesson! I taught you a lesson!" Deng Er, Cao Si, Li Wu, and Huang Gou also agreed.

Yan Feng:"There are still a few lazy people. I wanted to punish them all today. For the sake of my brother, I will write them down for now. If they dare to talk nonsense and shake the morale of the army again, I will punish them with the second crime." One! If Yan Yun stays, you are still standing there waiting to be beaten and not building roads yet." The officers and soldiers in charge ran away after hearing this.

Yan Feng said to the team deputy behind him:"The day after tomorrow is the big day for the commander's brother-in-law. Go to Jinzhou City to buy some high-quality silks, satins, gold and jade jewelry and send them to my residence in Zhuangyuan Building. I will go back and take a look." The team deputy rode to Jinzhou City.

At this time, Zhang Ning and Lao Ni set up a table of wine and food under the big tree in the barracks, including four meat and vegetables, one soup, two jars of wine, and two chairs. Yan Feng had ordered them in advance. Lao Ni said:"Master, please use it slowly!" Yan Feng said:"There's nothing wrong with you two. Just send the food." Zhang Ning and Lao Ni carried their burdens down to Qingsongling.
