The dream of a lonely hero

Zhao Guangyi was worried and said impatiently:"Don't be nagging! Are you timid and asking the second princess, a weak woman, to risk her life to rescue the eldest princess? Remember, you can only win, not lose, and you must not hurt the second princess until the point is reached. No hair on my head!"

Yan Yun had no choice but to walk outside the hall step by step. Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu also walked out.

The lanterns outside the hall are blooming, and the bright moon is as bright as day.

Yan Yun's humble status did not dare to look directly at the second princess, and now he had to look at the opponent in front of him during the competition. Look at the second princess: she has long black hair and a shawl, an oval face with a complexion like pear blossoms, bright eyes with flowing eyes, lips that are not red but not painted, eyebrows that are not painted but green; her skin color is like condensed jade fat, her neck is white and plump; she has a slim figure, If the shoulders are cut into shape, the waist will be as plain as expected. Wearing a small skirt of dark blue floral silk, pink and purple arrow sleeves with cuffs, a black and purple soft belt around the waist, and black oil-soled boots on her feet; standing under the moonlight with a sword, she is elegant and refined, just like Guanyin in the world.

Although the second princess, Zhao Yuanrong, somewhat despised Yan Yun, who looked exactly like the sick man, he had long heard that Prince Liang was commanding many masters, so he did not dare to take it lightly when facing a duel. He has a dignified, rather clumsy and stern face, with clear eyes, slanting eyebrows, and sharp-cut mouth.

The Second Princess is curious as to what this weak Nanya Bandang can do, and I will find out when I try it. He twists the Danfeng Sword in his hand and uses the"Fengfenghualuo" move to prick Yanyun's seven acupuncture points, as fast as chasing the wind, moving If you take off the rabbit. Yan Yunji used the Sishan School's sword technique to dismantle the"Mountain Trees Roaring in Sorrow and Water Raging in Fury".

As mentioned above, the swordsmanship of the Sishan School is strong and fierce, focusing on offense rather than defense. Now Yan Yun has lost his advantage, and the reason is: fighting with the Prime Minister's daughter, he is worried about hurting the other party, so he takes precautions and covers both sides; the ultimate state of the"Hate the world and hate the sky" swordsmanship of the Sishan sect is the unity of heart and sword. , the overwhelming feeling of hatred turned into an overwhelming force, condensed in the wrist, and released with the sword's edge and blade, as powerful as a galloping horse, as hard as steel, and as fast as lightning. Now facing the golden branches and jade leaves, I can only fear where the hatred and hatred come from; Therefore, the"Hate the World and Hate Heaven" swordsmanship of the Sishan School can only exert 50% to 60% of its power.

The second princess is different. She has no worries. Her only purpose is to defeat Yan Yun and fly out of Bianliang, Tokyo to save her sister. She and her sister, the princess Zhao Yuanchun, are both apprentices of an expert. She learned swords, boxing and kung fu, and Zhao Yuanchun Xiu Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, people call the two sisters the"Civil and Military Shuang'e" of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The"Jinyun Linghua Sword Technique" learned by the second princess Zhao Yuanrong is by no means a dragon-slaying technique. The sword techniques of cutting, picking, grabbing, hooking, and entangling clouds are like flying flowers of spirit, piercing, drawing belts, lifting points, The sword skills of collapsing, pressing, splitting, blocking and sweeping are like brocade clouds blocking the sun; they change from the heart, like autumn water, the body and the sword follow, the spirit and the sword are combined, squandering freely and horizontally, moving like a swimming dragon, flying like a flying giant, following the wind's momentum, Floating up and down, like light clouds covering the moon, floating like snow dancing in the wind; the footwork is strong and light, and the body movements are elegant and graceful, not like fighting but like dancing gracefully, the shape is soft but the connotation is powerful, the strength and softness are balanced, and the attack and defense are free..

The second princess danced gracefully with swords and flowers, and each move was light and graceful, hiding murderous intent. She fought with Yan Yun for more than ten rounds, dancing from left to right. Yan Yun's"Hate the World and Hate Heaven" swordsmanship is very poor, like a farm cow falling into a well and being unable to use its strength. The two princesses pressed forward step by step, their swords became stronger and more urgent, and they used two powerful moves,"Late Night Flowers Cold", and the Danfeng Sword went straight towards Yan Yun and swept his feet. Yan Yun quickly hooked up with"fishing for the moon under the sea". The second princess's sword moves suddenly changed, and she rushed towards the Yanyunding Gate and struck at Yanyunding's gate. The sword was powerful and fierce. Yan Yun hurriedly used the"furious thunder to send rain" move to seal it. The second princess's sword move suddenly changed into"jinyun wrapped around the waist" and swept towards Yanyun's waist.

""Pfft!" only one person fell to the ground.

The second princess's sword moves suddenly changed,"rocks and clouds" and rushed towards Yanyunding's door to smash. The sword was powerful and majestic. Yanyun hurriedly used the"raging thunder to send rain" move to seal the seal.. The Second Princess's sword move suddenly changed to"Jinyun wrapped around the waist" and swept towards Yan Yun's waist. The attack was light and powerful.

After twenty rounds, Yan Yun was almost passive and defensive in every move. The Second Princess Yan Yun was so startled that he was covered in cold sweat. He quickly bent over, and with a"wind and thunder", he ran towards the two princesses and kicked them in the abdomen. The two princesses were kicked to the ground before they could dodge.

Yan Yun saw The second princess fell to the ground, panicked.

The second princess' eyebrows stood up, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said angrily:"Yan Yun Pocai! Shameless and obscene."

Yan Yun has never hurt a woman like this, and this woman is the daughter of the prime minister's house. He heard him scolding him for being shameless and obscene. He blushed with embarrassment and felt uneasy. Monk Zhang Er was confused and hesitant and didn't know what to say.

Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, the second princess slapped her hand on the ground to use the force of"light clouds flying against the water", and suddenly used the"golden wind to sweep the ground" move towards Yan Yun, sweeping the hall's legs all the way. Yan Yun was in a daze, caught off guard, and fell He fell to the ground.

The second princess jumped up like a carp and said happily:"Your Highness! Daddy! Yan Yun lost, Yan Yun lost! Yan

Yun stood up in embarrassment and remained silent.

Zhao Pu said angrily,"Aren't you ashamed?" Who lost! The second princess said coquettishly:"

Don't soldiers hate deceit?" In the end, the kid won! For the sake of His Highness Long Yan, even if the Nu family wins, they will take Yan Yun with them. I hope His Highness will agree!"

Zhao Guangyi said humorously:"Brother Ping! How could we two prime ministers of the Song Dynasty break the trust of the people!

Zhao Pu said:"Your Highness agrees. There is one more thing I must rely on as my father."

The second princess, Zhao Yuanrong, said happily:"Don't say anything, he is the father of Pepsi and Qianshi.""

Zhao Pu said:"Everything along the way must be listened to by Yan Yun, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions."

Zhao Yunrong hesitated,"This - this -"

Zhao Pu's face sank,"Yeah!"

Zhao Yuanrong said hurriedly:"Yes, yes.

Zhao Guangyi said:"Yan Yun will take the two princesses to Zhangzhou tomorrow morning to rescue the eldest princess. If the two princesses are missing a hair, I will blame you!""

Yan Yun said:"Your Highness, if I cannot protect the integrity of the two princesses, I am willing to apologize for my sins with Ling Chi."

Nanya Zhao Guangyi paid homage to Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and led his entourage out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He turned a corner and walked a hundred steps to get off the sedan. Yan Yun urgently summoned"Zhanwen Taoist" to understand the Taoist priest Zhang Yugui and hurried to Liang Liang. Waiting for the order in Yin'an Palace of the County Prince's Mansion, he changed to a fast horse and rushed to Prince Liang's Mansion. It became clear that the Taoist priest Zhang Yugui was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also a know-it-all. He knew a lot about intrigues in temples and gangs fighting for hegemony, which earned him the nickname"Zhan"."Wen Dao Ke"; every corner of Bianliang City in Tokyo is known by heart. In modern terms, it is a living map of the capital. Of course, it does not include the Ouchi Palace. He is a prominent figure in the Liang County Prince's Palace, with hundreds of subordinates scattered throughout the city. The spies inside and outside the capital investigated and bought intelligence from all over the place. They were called spies (secret agents) of Prince Liang's palace. It was clear that the Taoist priest Zhang Yugui was the leader of the spies, and Zhao Guangyi, the governor of Kaifeng, the prince of Liang, relied heavily on him. Zhao Guangyi returned to Yin'an Palace, After a while, Yan Yun and Mingran Taoist Zhang Yugui came to see him. Mingran

Taoist Zhang Yugui was in his forties, six feet tall, thin, with a fair face and a smile, a pair of yellow eyes, short and sparse beard, and a slightly hunched back. , hanging an ancient sword with pine patterns on his waist; the moon-white Taoist scarf and moon-white Taoist robe blend into the moonlight.

Zhao Guangyi ordered Yanyun to wait outside the hall. After a long time, Zhao Guangyi and the Taoist priest Zhang Yugui hurried out of the hall.

Zhao Guangyi looked serious, He said:"Yan Yun went on an errand with Taoist Master Ming Ran. He obeyed Ming Ran's instructions and was not allowed to disobey."

Yan Yun followed Taoist Master Mingran and left in a hurry.

Zhao Guangyi stared at the disappearing figures of Yan Yun and Zhang Yugui, stood there for a while, and walked in the courtyard outside the hall, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly, sometimes stopping, twirling in his hands. Holding six wooden hand beads, the moonlight pulled his shadow longer and shorter, and the night wind blew his purple robe, unable to blow away his thoughts.

About an hour later, Zhang Yugui hurriedly entered the yard and saluted Zhao Guangyi, saying:" Your Highness, it's done."

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly greeted him, indicating confidentiality, and said:"'Young' is not busy! Let’s talk about it after entering the palace."

In Yin'an Hall, there were only Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Yugui.

Zhang Yugui said:"Your Highness! Yan Yun is really skilled. He can kill people with just a snap of his fingers within eight hundred steps with a powerful crossbow. Wang Yuanji, Wang Zhi, Chen He, Lu Qiu Shun, Sun Xingzhou, Shi Yanzuo, Sang Jinxing, etc. All seven people were killed; it was an unexpected delivery, and Prime Minister Sun Xingyou was shot dead in the house of Liu Zhijin, the envoy of the inner storage warehouse.

Zhao Guangyi said excitedly:"Tell me what's going on?""

Zhang Yugui said:"I followed His Highness's orders to shoot Liu Zhijin, but I didn't expect that he would entertain Sun Xingzhou at a banquet. Sun Xingzhou, the second-rank envoy of the imperial court, died in Liu Zhixin's house. Liu Zhixin was an official in the house of Prince Fangjun. Prince Fangjun and Prince Fang must not be jointly and severally held responsible."

Zhao Guangyi kept twisting the six wooden beads in his hand and said:"'King Ran' can't be arbitrarily discussed! Go back and rest early."

Zhang Yugui, the Taoist priest of Mingran, agreed and left the palace.

Yan Yun, dressed in moon-white night clothes, quickly went to the palace to salute and said,"I have seen your highness."

Zhao Guangyi smiled and said:"'Feiyan' has not rested since the fourth watch, and will rush to Zhangzhou tomorrow morning to rescue the princess of Xiangguo. Yan

Yun looked confused and said,"I don't know what happened. Please tell me, Your Highness, who were those people who were shot by Yan Yun?"

Zhao Guangyi's smile faded and he said,"Didn't you say 'clearly'?""

Yan Yun said:"I said they were 'treacherous officials who violated the rules and disciplines'. Punishing traitors is a fair and just act, killing one to serve as a warning to others, so why use such quaint means?

Zhao Guangyi said:"Didn't Ming Ran say not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked and to keep confidentiality strictly?"

Yan Yun said:" I told you.""

Zhao Guangyi looked serious and said:"You are like the east wind blowing the horse's ears! After a pause,"Why don't you, the lonely king, want to bring these traitorous officials to justice on the spot and bring peace to the Song Dynasty?""The words are upright and upright, and the topic is changed:"Alas! The world of officialdom is so complicated that it is beyond the reach of the law! Yan

Yun was puzzled and said:"Your Highness is the Prime Minister, Assistant Secretary and Mu of the capital. Can't you ask for orders for the people to severely punish those who are playful?"

Zhao Guangyi said:"Huailong (Yan Yun's word)!" The waters of officialdom are unfathomable, and it’s better not to know. Remember the Taoist Master's instructions. Go back and rest, don't miss your trip tomorrow morning."

Yan Yun was full of suspicion and slowly exited Yin'an Palace.

Yan Yun returned to Liushuang Courtyard, tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night. He thought: There are also abusive officials who the jealous Nan Ya dare not punish, Nan Ya is worried about What is it? Even bigger than Nan Ya are the Chief Assistant Zhao Pu and the Emperor. Zhao Pu and Nan Ya are so close that they will never hinder Nan Ya. Your Majesty, will the Emperor condone and protect evil officials? Will the Emperor protect and kill them? My father's enemy is the dog official Jin Huarong. If so, can Nanya avenge me? As long as I work hard for Nanya and serve the court diligently; as long as I persist in doing my duty and make meritorious deeds, Nanya will avenge me.. What if Nanya forgot about it after a long time? At that time, he had already achieved success and reported it to Nanya -

Yan Yun thought about it, and unconsciously banged the five drums, put on his clothes, and brought his silver coins, Qinglong Sword, etc. He got on the horse-drawn horse given by Nanya and galloped to meet the"Moyuan Pier" at Chenqiao Station outside Tokyo as agreed by the two princesses.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Yun came to Moyuan Pier Bridge and dismounted his horse. He tied the horse under the jujube tree and looked around for the second princess. A man flew down from the jujube tree with a sudden"swish", and he rushed to Yanyun with his sword and struck him above his head. Yan Yun looked in all directions and listened in all directions. Hearing the sound of the wind, he jumped out a few feet away on tiptoes, drew his sword and attacked with great force. The two fought for seven or eight rounds. The man jumped out of the circle and shouted:"Toot! How dare Yan Yun assassinate this princess!"

Yan Yun looked at the man: he wore a purple gold crown with a bunch of hair on his head, a pair of plain white arrow sleeves, and a pink and white satin row. She wears a fringed coat, wearing black satin and white-soled court boots; her face is like the autumn moon, her color is like a hibiscus, her temples are like a knife cut, her eyebrows are like ink paintings, her face is like peach petals, and her eyes are like autumn waves; she has a slender figure, a dashing demeanor, and is graceful and graceful; take a closer look. , recognized that this was the second princess Zhao Yuanrong who was disguised as a man; he hurriedly saluted,"Princess! I'm sorry for my poor eyesight."

Zhao Yuanrong said angrily:"As the saying goes: the stupid bird flies first, what time is it! What a sleepy person!"

Yan Yun said nothing.

Zhao Yuanrong untied the reins of his beautiful horse and flew up, saying,"My white jade neighing horse has already flown to the Yingfeng Inn thirty miles away. If you can catch up with me, go ahead. If you can't catch up, go back." Sleep in!" He beat the horse like flying and disappeared into the distance instantly.

Zhao Yuanrong was eager to save his sister, so he stayed at the Yingfeng Inn last night. He kept planning a plan to save his sister that night. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he walked to the"Moyuan Pier" in Chenqiaoyi to meet Yan Yun; He jumped onto the tree before he arrived, catching Yan Yun off guard. This again tested Yan Yun's martial arts and vigilance. After seven or eight rounds, he secretly admired Yan Yun. He was no longer timid and worried, and his sword power was extremely powerful. Fierce, deadly with every move.

Zhao Yuanrong flew a hundred steps to the door of Yingfeng Inn. He looked back and saw that Yan Yun was no longer there. He said to himself,"Let's see when you can get there!" He got off his horse and walked towards the inn. He saw a man standing more than ten steps away from the door of the inn. , was shocked,"Hey! Yan Yun, you - you, are you a human or a ghost!"

Yan Yun said:"The little one is not a ghost, he is Yan Yun."

Zhao Yuanrong said in surprise:"It is indeed you, the village boy (stupid boy) )! You - you, are you faster than a thousand-mile horse!"

Yan Yun said:"Return to the princess, you are stupid, this Wuzui thousand-mile horse is even stupider than the little one." There is no other intention, just to express that he is faster than a horse quick.

Zhao Yunrong felt ashamed of himself, blushed, and said:"You - your village——"He swallowed his words and said,"How dare you ridicule me!"

Yan Yun looked nervous and said,"Little--little An dares to ridicule--sarcastic the princess. What I'm talking about is Ma Feng."

Yan Yun's martial arts and light kung fu Zhao Yuanrong was so impressed that he fell to the ground, and a trace of admiration arose spontaneously, but there was no trace of it on his face.

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Okay! I - I won't argue with you."

Yan Yun was wronged and said:"I have no intention of mocking the princess, the princess knows it!"

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the sincere him, He said:"Okay, let's not talk about it. From now on, the princess's name is Zhao Rong. You are not allowed to call me the princess or the young master." Yan Yun said:"I obey, my princess!"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"What!"

Yan Yun said. Yun said:"No, no! It's the young master. I obey my orders."

Yan Yun had long been worried: he would take the Prime Minister's daughter to rescue the eldest princess. This was not only a help, but a burden. He had to take good care of the second princess and rescue the eldest princess. The eldest princess; let alone the fact that the daughter of the prime minister and the second princess appeared all the time, there are many things wrong with it; I didn’t expect that she was quite scheming to disguise herself as a man. A daughter of the prime minister’s house is not weak in martial arts and is also smart on the outside, and there is something in her heart. admire.

Zhao Yuanrong went to Yingfeng Inn and took out his white jade neighing horse and mounted it. Yan Yun rode on the black horse, and the two of them galloped away to Zhangzhou with whips raised.

In the evening, the two came to the door of the Yunqi Inn in Xigang Town. A waiter in the shop had already taken the horse's reins and led it to the stable to feed them fodder. Zhao Yunrong and Yan Yun entered the inn, and all the guests in the store were stunned to see Zhao Yunrong, who was dressed as a man, with beautiful features, free and easy handsome features. Zhao Yunrong's face turned red with embarrassment. The waiter in the shop was also stunned. After a long time, he came forward to greet him and said with a smile on his face:"Two guests, please come in quickly!"

Zhao Yuanrong saw that it took a long time for someone to come and shouted,"I thought The store owner went to a funeral, and it took him a long time to come out to catch his breath!"

The waiter said:"Young Master Haihan, Young Master Haihan! I'm not considerate, I'm not, I'm not! The young master was so handsome that he surprised everyone in the hall. They were all dumbfounded. I had never seen the handsome young master before, so I took another look and realized I was late. Don’t blame me, master! Don’t blame me, master!"
