The dream of a lonely hero

When Yang Mao saw Yan Yun chatting with Gao Rui, he quietly took the black oil stick from a court official and turned it behind Yan Yun, then hit Yan Yun on the back of the head when he was not prepared. Yan Yun was eager to see Fang Xun, but he didn't expect that Yang Mao would hurt someone with a secret arrow. He was unprepared and fainted and fell unconscious.

When Yan Yun woke up, he found himself naked and hanging under a big tree in a yard. Four or five servants were surrounding the tree with torches and whips. There is a brazier next to the big tree, with three or four soldering irons in the brazier.

It was the first day of the first lunar month, the north wind was howling, the spring cold was freezing, and Yan Yun was so cold that his whole body trembled and his teeth rattled.

Yang Mao, wearing a cotton robe, walked out of the main room happily and sneered:"You pig, you have today too." Looking up at the dark night sky,"Haha! The sky really has eyes!" He said to the servant:"Stupid. What are you waiting for? Give Grandpa a beating!"

Two servants held whips and whipped Yan Yun's upper body hard. Yan Yun was beaten with bloody marks on his chest and back, and his skin and flesh were torn apart. The two servants were beaten for a long time, and they stopped because they were tired and panting. Looking at Yan Yun's beaten and bloody body, he cursed:"Yang Mao is a stubborn prisoner! Under the emperor's feet, you are so reckless, do you still want to be exiled?"

Yang Mao shouted angrily:"Yan Yun pinches the birds! The bamboos are blooming and dying, and the mouth is about to die. You're not weak yet, grandpa wants to see if you are made of iron today!" He picked up the red-hot iron from the brazier and stabbed Yan Yun's chest, causing streams of pungent green smoke to rise.

Yan Yun was in unbearable pain, shouting"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", and fainted from time to time.

Yang Mao said:"It's not that easy if you want to die! Someone pour cold water on him to wake him up."

A servant hurriedly brought a basin of water and poured it on Yan Yun."Wow!"

Yan Yun's body was filled with excitement and he woke up.

Yang Mao said:"Plague pig! Grandpa, how did I serve you? I was afraid that you would be cold and I would warm you up, and I would be afraid that you would be hot and I would cool you down."

Yan Yun cursed angrily:"Yang Mao beast! Why are you so vicious? Yang

Mao sneered and said:"Haha! Plague pig! The ants shake the tree and don't know their own strength. You shameless thing dares to compete with grandpa for cousin Feiyan. Grandpa wants you to live a life worse than death!" He said to the servant next to him,"This Bird hunting! The watchdog looks like a dog in a vest, but in fact he is a weak bear bag. He knelt down and begged for mercy for my grandfather in Zhenzhou Bapan Mountain. He is a complete bear bag of trash!" The servants kept laughing at him,"Haha! Bear bag of trash! Bear bag waste!"

"Cousin! How are you serving your old friend?"A beautiful woman came from outside the courtyard holding a bronze mirror. Her jade body faced the wind, her clothes were gorgeous, and she was wearing heavy makeup. Her hair was like clouds, her round face was like morning glow reflecting snow, her eyebrows were like smoke, her big eyes were like autumn water filling a pond, and her jade teeth were pearly. Lips, a beauty mark at the corner of her delicate lips, full breasts and buttocks, white and tender skin.

She smiled brightly and said:"Feiyan! You see, this plague pig is no longer a human being or a ghost. If you continue to 'serve' it, it will enter the threshold of the king of hell."

That beautiful woman is Shang Feiyan.

Shang Feiyan came closer, looked at Yan Yun by the light of the torch, and said:"Cousin! I feel so kind to you after not seeing you for a few days. Yan Yun is still far from the threshold of the King of Hell! Someone bring me a basin of salt."

The servants quickly went to get it after hearing this, and brought a basin of salt from time to time. Shang Feiyan put the bronze mirror into his arms, grabbed two handfuls and threw them at Yan Yun. Yan Yun was twitching in pain, and his teeth were clenching."Sound.

Shang Feiyan said sarcastically:"Yo! I didn’t realize it, but the stupid pig is really like a good man, but it’s just a little bit worse. He clenches his teeth and screams twice when it hurts. I haven’t heard you cry out in pain since I was a child. Don’t let me down this time. Yo!

Yan Yun roared loudly:"Bah!" How heroic and courageous Uncle Shang is to give birth to you, a monster with a heart like a poisonous scorpion! Shang

Feiyan changed color in anger, wiped her face, and cursed angrily:"You bastard!" You call yourself a gentleman, my aunt will skin you to see what you are!"I got more sabers from the hands of servants around me, and slashed Yan Yun's chest.

How did Yang Mao and Shang Feiyan come to Bianliang, Tokyo?

Shang Yuanzhong was seriously injured by Yan Feng's poisonous hand, and Shang Feiyan was obsessed with it. He fell deeply in love with Yan Feng again. When Yan Yun married Shang Feiyan, Shang Feiyan eloped with Yan Feng, which worsened the condition of Shang Yuanzhong, who was extremely concerned about his appearance. Shang Feiyan and Yang Mao were present before Shang Yuanzhong died; No matter from afar or from a near perspective, Shang Yuanzhong’s death had indirect and direct causes for Shang Feiyan. After some thinking, Shang Yuanzhong’s wife, Ma, concluded that it was ultimately the result of her husband’s habitual pampering and indulgence of Shang Feiyan. If she continues like this, her family will be ruined. So, Ma family cruelly severed the relationship with Shang Feiyan and Yang Mao and drove him out of the house. Soon Ma family became very angry and became ill and returned to the west.

Shang Feiyan and Yang Mao returned to the Eighth Route Army. Panshan Guiyunzhuang competed with his brother Shang Zhu for the family property. Shang Zhu was honest and kind, but he couldn't compete with Shang Feiyan and Yang Mao, and most of the family property was taken away. Shang Feiyan and Yang Mao sold off the family property they had fought over. After getting a lot of money, they were all idle people, squandering it wantonly, and seeing that there was not much left. If they continued like this, they would definitely have nothing to lose, so Shang Feiyan went to Sanlocu Prefecture to join Yanfeng.

Yangmao could not afford the luxury of food and clothing. Shang Feiyan got used to it, so she had to give up and swim to the capital to live a life. She accumulated some money by cheating and stealing, and bought a doorman in the Biancheng County Prince's Mansion.

Sanlu Prefecture observed Yanfeng and accepted Shang Feiyan. Yanfeng was recommended by Hu Zan, the post-official (secretary) of Zhao Pu, the Prime Minister of Hancheng County, and served as the deputy commander of the Prince Youyi Mansion (from the eighth rank) in the mansion of Zhao Dezhao, the eldest son of the emperor Yantinghou. Yanfeng general Shang Feiyan presented To Yan Tinghou Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Dezhao took Shang Feiyan as his concubine.

Yang Mao wounded Yan Yun at the Biancheng County Prince's Mansion, took her home, and sent his men to report to Shang Feiyan. Shang Feiyan rushed there, Yan Yun was so angry that he raised his knife and slashed at Yan Yun's chest. Just as he was about to watch, he heard the steel knife fall to the ground.

Shang Feiyan's wrist was sore and he cursed:"That beast, how dare you hurt my aunt?" thing!"It turned out that her wrist was hit by a pebble. She saw a man wearing a black futou and dark green official uniform, speeding towards him. This man was majestic, seven feet tall, with a tiger's back and a monkey's waist, a red face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a wide nose. Kuozui. There were four soldiers behind him. When

Yang Mao saw the person coming, he hurriedly saluted and said,"I joined the army to visit my humble home. I missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me!" But you are too reckless, you even dare to hit Yan Hou’s Ai Ji!"

The person who came was none other than the military officer Cao Cao from Biancheng County Prince's Mansion.

Fang Xun said angrily:"Yangmao, shut up! The Marquis of Yan, who would have joined the army, said,"You are such an ignorant street gangster who has never changed your bad nature. How dare you set up a private court? How can the official law tolerate you?""He ordered the soldiers,"Lock up Yangmao and take him back to Kaifeng Mansion."The two soldiers stepped forward to tie up Yang Mao.

Shang Feiyan hurriedly said:"Slow down! Fang Xun is so brave. Even if you don’t take me seriously as a girl, do you still have Yan Hou in your eyes? I haven’t argued with you about the hand that injured the girl, but you want to take advantage of my cousin again, break into private houses and take people at will, where do you put the law?

Fang Xun said:"What a sharp tongue!" As His Highness's concubine, if you don't serve the Marquis properly, you wander around at night and expose yourself, how can you put Marquis Yan's face at all!

Shang Feiyan said:"Girl, it's not my turn to teach you, a little eighth-grade official, a lesson!""

Fang Xun said:"I am not interested in quarreling with you. If Yan Yun has two shortcomings, neither of you can escape!" He said to the soldiers,"Quickly put down the hanging Yan Yunhaosheng and carry him away.""The four soldiers did as they were told.

Shang Feiyan also forced Yan Yun to stay, saying:"How can the murderer who poisoned my father go unpunished! He was persuaded by Yang Mao and said:"Feiyan, Yan Yun, who poisoned his uncle, can't run away. Let's take him away for the time being. You can go back to your home to seek justice from Marquis Yan." Fang

Xun glared at the two of them fiercely, took off his dark green official uniform and wrapped it tightly around the tortured unconscious Yan Yun. Two soldiers carried Yan Yun and followed Fang Xun out of Yangmao's house.

Fang Xun took Yan Yun away. He took him back to his residence, invited a good doctor from the capital to treat him, and ordered two soldiers to guard him day and night. Two nights later, Yan Yun woke up, looked at Fang Xun beside him, with tears streaming down his weathered face, and said:"Brother! Finally meet you!

Fang Xun consoled him and said,"Seventh brother!" The nightmare is over. Brother Yu hired the best doctor in the capital. He uses the best medicines and rests well. He can be cured in a few days."

Yan Yun said:"If the eldest brother hadn't arrived in time, the seventh brother would have reported to the Lord of Hell.

Fang Xun said:"Stop talking!" Brother Yu felt very guilty. The day before yesterday, Brother Yu visited the east road of Shannan and returned to the palace to deliver an order to Nanya (another name for the governor of Kaifeng, referring to Zhao Guangyi, the king of Biancheng County). Nanya was not in the palace and went to Kaifeng to sit in court. Brother Yu hurried to Kaifeng to meet Nanya again. Returning to the palace, Gao Rui, the doorman of Fangting, came to report that"Yan Yun, an old friend of Zhenzhou, has come to visit." After asking what happened, I found out that you were beaten and taken away by the Yangmao gangsters. Brother Yu hurriedly went to find you. Unexpectedly, it was too late and you were taken away. Yang Mao and Shang Feiyan were beaten to a pulp. If they had been one step earlier, how could the seventh brother have ended up like this!"

Yan Yun said:"Brother, please don't blame yourself, it's all because of that pair of dogs and men who are as poisonous as scorpions! The seventh brother implicated his eldest brother in Yulong County, Zhenzhou. How did the eldest brother come to the capital to become an official? Fang

Xun said:"Brother Yu let you go in Dalingou, Yulong County. More than ten days later, Yao Shu, the magistrate of Zhenzhou, was furious when he knew the whole story. He handed Brother Yu over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs with an official document to discuss his crime. Brother Yu went to the capital to pass the wind." In Taoling, Guizhou defense envoy Yan Tinghou rescued the hunting prince from a tiger hunt. Yan Hou sent his subordinates to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to express his gratitude and wiped out Brother Yu's sins in Zhenzhou, and recommended Brother Yu to become the eighth-rank official in Yanhou Mansion. Cao Sirong, a soldier in Zuowei Mansion; later, the emperor's younger brother, Yin Tongzhongshumenxiapingzhangshi of Kaifeng Mansion and Prince Biancheng of Biancheng County, visited Yanhou. He saw that Brother Yu was a person, so he asked Yanhou General Yuxiong to serve in the palace and became a soldier of the palace to join the army.."

Yan Yun said:"Big brother is really auspicious and can turn misfortunes into good fortune. Congratulations to big brother for his rapid rise to success!

Fang Xun didn't look happy and said,"How did the seventh brother get to the capital?""

Yan Yun recounted what happened after breaking up with Fang Xun in Dalingou, Yulong County.

Fang Xun frowned and said with a stern expression,"Seventh brother! Regarding the death of Shang Yuanzhong of Guiyun Village, Brother Yu can still exonerate you in front of Yanhou and Nanya; however, the matter of Luocaowuyangshan and the butchers of the Yashan sect and the execution of Fan Hongde and a dozen of his servants must not be mentioned again. This - -This foolish brother is powerless."

Yan Yun could see the seriousness of the matter from Fang Xun's expression, and felt deeply that he could no longer implicate Fang Xun, and said:"Brother! When the seventh brother recovered from his injury, he quickly left the capital to make a living elsewhere."

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother! Could it be that he was fooled by Yang Mao and Shang Feiyan? He traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge with Brother Yu, and when he came he was about to leave in a hurry -" Suddenly he remembered something,"Seventh brother, don't be afraid. I am just falling grass and dancing on Yangshan Mountain to kill Fan Hongde." When things happen, Brother Yu can also settle things for you."

Yan Yun burst into tears of gratitude and looked at Fang Xun speechless. After a moment, he asked:"Where is the eighth brother Ji Tong?"

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother Ji Tong. My younger brother followed Brother Yu to Beijing and passed by Centipede Mountain. He was picked up by his second brother and entertained for several days. The second brother invited Brother Yu and his eighth brother to join the gang. Brother Yu politely declined. The eighth brother was invited to join the gang and became the second king of Centipede Mountain."

Yan Yun Sad, he said:"I think back when we formed a sworn brotherhood in Meiyuan Town, the sound of 'Report to the country, please be safe' shook the roof tiles, how powerful it was. I didn't expect that great ambitions are hard to realize. There is no news from the third, fourth and fifth brothers." Nothing, alas! The second brother and the eighth brother have fallen into the grass on Centipede Mountain again, and only the eldest brother has lived up to his oath to serve the court. Alas! The seventh brother has been running into obstacles for more than two years in the officialdom. He has no great achievements, which is embarrassing!"

Fang Xun looked at it! Yan Yun sighed and said:"Seventh brother, why bother? Seventh brother is ten times better than foolish brother in both civil and military skills. Why worry about not getting ahead!"

Yan Yun said with a bitter smile:"Look, seventh brother, I am neither a human nor a ghost. I can do it." It's good to take a breather, how dare you have any extravagant hopes!"

Fang Xun said:"That's wrong! The seventh brother has already won the civil and military exams before he reached the age of weak. The current setbacks are not good enough to temper the seventh brother's will;' When Heaven entrusts a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and confuse his actions, so tempting his mind and forbearance will benefit him in a way that he cannot. Mencius said, The seventh brother is no stranger to me, right?"

Yan Yun said:"Brother, in the past two years, the seventh brother has always encouraged himself with the words of Yasheng, but in the end the world is so big that it can't accommodate me. Is it the saint who is wrong, or is it the seventh brother? My brother is wrong!"

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, please don't lose heart! There are ten dangers in life. When an eagle soars in the sky, its wings may be broken, and when a horse gallops on the ground, it may stumble and break its bones. There have been disasters for more than two years. I have defeated you, how can I fulfill my oath to repay the country's safety! Seventh brother does not need to be impatient now, and is recovering from his injuries. After recovering, Brother Yu will strongly recommend to Yanhou, and it will be just around the corner for seventh brother to serve the country."

Yan Yun said dejectedly:"Brother! Seventh brother! Brother - can this be okay?"

Fang Xun said:"Seventh brother, don't think so much, it will be fine!"

Yan Yun said:"Brother! How is my mother?"

Fang Xun said:"Meng Meng's mother is okay! Brother Yu, leave the fish I visited her in Long County, and when I left, I paid her some silver and some clothes. Meng Niang is good at needlework and easy to manage. Meng Niang's sewing shop is also very impressive, so seventh brother doesn't have to worry."

Yan Yun said to Fang Xun. There are no words to express my gratitude, and tears overflow my eyes.

After more than a month of careful treatment and conditioning, Yan Yun's body gradually recovered. Fang Xun then led Yan Yun to the Yin'an Hall of the Marquis of Yanting's Mansion to meet the prince, Guizhou Defense Envoy Zhao Dezhao of Yanting Marquis.

Zhao Dezhao is in his early twenties. He wears a purple gold crown with hair tied on his head, two dragons grabbing gold to wipe his forehead. He wears a purple embroidered tuanlongyun shoulder robe, and an exquisite gold necklace tied around his waist. He wears a pair of flying phoenix boots inlaid with silver thread. He is seven feet tall and looks somewhat similar to Yan Yun. He is sitting in the main hall. In front of him is a long red sandalwood table covered with duck-yellow tapestry; behind him is a huge screen with the picture"The frost is slipping on the wild bridge, and the snow on the river road is beginning to melt". On the left, two officials stand with their heads lowered, one young and one old. The young man is eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, water-cut pupils, red lips, elegant and suave, with a jade tree facing the wind, and is dressed in a plain white satin brocade robe; the old man is in his early fifties, with beard and hair. He is gray in color and wears a dark green official uniform with a silver belt around his waist. The younger one is Yan Feng, the deputy commander of Prince Youyi's mansion, who is in the eighth rank of the Marquis of Yanting Mansion, and the elder is Yishan Gong Mo, who is the sixth rank of the Marquis of Yanting's mansion. There are two court officials at the palace gate, waiting for orders at any time.

Zhao Dezhao, the Marquis of Yan, saw Fang Xun from a distance. He smiled brightly and stood up and said,"Sirang! Please come."

Fang Xun pushed the golden mountain, toppled the jade pillar, bowed his head and said,"Fang Xun, the last official, is here to see His Highness the Marquis of Yan.

" Hou hurriedly said:"No courtesy, no courtesy! Why do you need red tape for me to be my best friend? Take a seat!" The hospital official quickly moved a chair to one side for Fang Xun.

Fang Xun said hurriedly:"Your Highness! I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Seeing Yanhou Fang Xun's enthusiasm, Yan Feng felt jealous and said:"Your Highness! Don't make it difficult for Fang Junjun. Your Highness will set up a seat for him. It's not like he won't do it." How can he dare to be so presumptuous as a filthy man who knows etiquette?"

Marquis Yan said,"In this case, the Gu family feels aggrieved and wants to give in. Si Rang, the civil and military genius Yan Yun Yan Qiulong recommended to the Gu family. , could it be the person behind you."

Fang Xun said:"Go back to His Highness Yanhou, that's right. Qiu Long has met His Highness soon."

Yan Yun was nervous and sweat oozed from his forehead, and Fang heard thatHe called and hurriedly saluted, then bowed his head and said:"Zhenzhou-cao-cao people Yanyun-shen-shen-worship your highness."

Yanfeng said angrily:"Du! The audacious traitor Yanyun, How dare you join His Highness - defeat His Highness, it is a heinous crime!"
