The dream of a lonely hero

Yuanda said:"Wang Rong, please stop dreaming about marrying a wife! My second brother has said it before. As long as the seventh brother leaves grass in Centipede Mountain, he will be released to the princess and his entourage on Guyue Ridge."

Wang Rong said:"If Yan Yun doesn't Where is the fallen grass?"

Yuanda said:"Wang Rong, do you think my seventh brother is like you, turning the gourd upside down and the cattail leaf fan to go back on his word!"

Wang Rong said angrily:"Yuan Da has the ability, don't be quick with your words, come and fight with each other.." He drew his sword and stood up.

Yuanda didn't show any weakness, he drew out his sword and was about to fight.

Chen Xin shouted:"Stop it all!"

Yuanda and Wang Rong returned the swords to the box and fell silent.

Chen Xindao:"Seventh brother! Brother Yu Luocao became the king of Kou Zhan Mountain. Although this place is not as good as the Xiliu Army Camp, there is no joke in the army. Can the princess of Guyueling be rescued?"

Yan Yun said:"Return to the second brother. , Brother Fool has rescued the princess."

Zhao Yuanchun stepped out from behind Yan Yun and said:"The daughter of the Hancheng County Prince has met King Chen."

Wang Rong came out and said:"Your Majesty, let me say a word to the Sa family."

Chen Xin said:"Please tell me."

Wang Rong said:"Although this sallow-faced and skinny village girl is well-dressed, who can prove that she is the princess? Yan Yun, you can't fool anyone, but you want to fool your second brother!"

Zhao Yuan Rong was furious and said:"Wang Rong! Yan Yun flew up the cliff to carry back the princess, killed the tiger and the python, and almost lost his life. But you sow discord and hurt people with a knife, how shameless!"

Wang Rong was stunned for a moment. , laughing endlessly,"Hahaha! Fly up the cliff - Hahaha! Carry back to the princess! You treat the green forest leaders of the three mountains and eighteen villages in Centipede Mountain as children!"

Zhao Yuanrong wished he could kill Wang Rong with a sword, and saw"You, you!"

Chen Xin said:"That's it! Seventh brother, who can prove this princess?"

Yan Yun was furious and said hurriedly:"Second brother! Seventh brother will never deceive the second brother. , the sky can see it! Could it be that the second brother is going to break his promise?"

Chen Xin said anxiously:"Seventh brother, how could the seventh brother guess the foolish brother like this!"

Zhao Yuanchun thought: If the two people continue to have a stalemate, the consequences will be unpredictable; he hurriedly said :"Both King Chen and Yan Yun misunderstood. It cannot be proved that I am the princess, so how can Yan Yun infer that the king broke his promise?"

Chen Xin said:"What he said is true."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"If you want to prove that I am the princess, Why is it so difficult!"

Wang Rong sneered and said:"Why don't you ask me to go with you to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tokyo! Then we would be like turtles in the jar!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Of course not. As long as you get out of the big tent, go to that lonely place. Under the moon ridge, the followers of the princess on the ridge can naturally tell whether I am the princess or not."

Yuanda laughed and said:"Haha! My mother! We fought for a long time until we were blushing and thick-necked, but we couldn't. In terms of ideas, this village girl is really extraordinary! Wang Rong, you want to go to the Prime Minister's Palace in Tokyo on your own, but no one is stopping you!"

Chen Xin said:"Yuan Da's skills are all just talking, why do you do it? I can't think of it! The heads of the families followed the Sa family to the foot of Guyue Ridge to see if this princess is real or fake."

Chen Xin, Yan Yun, the Zhao sisters, and the leaders of Centipede Mountain came to the foot of Guyue Ridge. Hu Zan, the"little white-faced bully" at the entrance of Guyue Ridge, Li Kedu, the"Golden-haired Suan Ni Disease Qin Qiong" of the Prime Minister's Military Division, and Chunrong, the maid, had been watching the movements below the ridge for a long time. When they saw Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun, they were very excited and said loudly"The princess is well!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Okay! Don't worry."

Chen Xin turned around and said to Wang Rong:"Master Wang Village! Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Rong said:"Master Chen! There are eighteen villages in the three mountains of Centipede Mountain. Brother has been busy for a month and has wasted a lot of food. In the end, he only fetched water with a bamboo basket. Oh! I can't say that completely. It has fulfilled the friendship between the village leader Chen and your brother Yan Yun, and fulfilled your reputation of keeping a promise. But here we are Brother Qianbahao can't live by relying on the good name of Master Chen, right? Speaking of integrity, in the eyes of the government and ordinary people, we are just murderers and arsonists, bandits and grass bandits who do all kinds of evil, and everyone will punish them."

Chen Xindao:" Did the leader of Wang Village call the Sa family a treacherous person? The green forest road is different from many government laws and regulations, and it must be based on faith and loyalty. This is what the Sa family is based on, and the green forest heroes from all walks of life gather here, Centipede Mountain That's how we are today. If you run out of money and food, you can attack the state and plunder the government to get some. How can you pick up Xinyi if you lose it? The leaders each returned to the village to recharge their batteries and rest for a few days. Then they went with the Sa family to Zhangzhou City to get some money and food. , the expenses for the siege of Guyue Ridge have been covered."

Wang Rong said no more and the leaders of the three mountains and eighteen villages returned to the village.

Chen Xin ordered the minions to move out of the way and ask the people on Guyue Ridge to come down the mountain. Hu Zan, the"white-faced little bully" on Guyue Ridge, Li Kedu, the"golden-haired Suanni sick Qin Qiong" of the Prime Minister's Military Division, Chunrong the maid, and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all in ragged clothes and as skinny as firewood, helped each other walk down Guyue Ridge.

Zhao Yuanchun felt sad when he saw this, thinking: Anyway, the people on the mountain are finally at peace. The huge stone in her heart was finally put down safely, and it collapsed like a deflated rubber ball.

Yan Yun looked at Zhao Yuanchun, who had a sallow complexion, and was anxious, but he couldn't help him.

Zhao Yuanrong hurriedly leaned over to help Zhao Yuanchun up and shouted:"Sister! Sister!"

Chen Xin approached Zhao Yuanchun and said,"Let's take a look at Sajia."

Zhao Yuanrong said angrily:"What are you going to do? Go away!"

Yan Yun He said hurriedly:"Master Zhao Rong, don't be alarmed! Second brother has no evil intentions."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"What does he want?"

Yan Yun said:"Second brother is proficient in medical skills. He wants to treat the princess."

Zhao Yuanrong said Looked at Chen Xin and Yan Yun doubtfully.

Yuanda said to Zhao Yuanrong:"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao! My second brother's medical skills are passed down from ancestors, and his nickname 'Little Meng Shang Sai Bian Que' is well-deserved! My seventh brother finally managed to The princess saved her from the mountain. If you miss the princess's illness, it's none of my seventh brother's business!"

Zhao Yuanrong looked at Yan Yun again and was so anxious that he no longer refused Chen Xin to see Zhao Yuanchun.

Chen Xin leaned over to check Zhao Yuanchun's pulse. After a moment, he stood up and said,"It's nothing serious. The princess is just exhausted from the past few days. She will be cured after taking the medicine prescribed by Sajia, which can take as little as three to five days, and as many as seven or eight days." Then he ordered his minions to get paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and ordered his minions to go to the camp to get the medicine and boil it according to the prescription.

Night falls.

Chen Xin hosted a banquet at the camp for Yan Yun, Zhao Yuanrong, Hu Zan, Li Kedu, maid Chunrong and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zhao Yuanchun's health improved slightly after taking medicine.

At the beginning of the banquet, Hu Zan, Li Kedu, maid Chunrong and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were acting unnaturally. How could they not be frightened when they entered a den of thieves? Later, they saw that Chen Xin and others were friendly and emboldened, and they gradually became calmer. , a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat.

Yuanda was curious and pestered Yan Yun to tell him how he went to the cliff to rescue the princess, but Yan Yun couldn't help but had to briefly explain it.

Yuanda blurted out a few"good" words out of nowhere. After Yan Yun finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said,"Oh! It's so shameful. The second brother and we almost forced the seventh brother into the Yama Palace. Who could have thought that the seventh brother would really be like this? Adventure! Did second brother think of it?"

Chen Xin said guiltily:"Seventh brother, second brother is really sorry! Now that I think about it, I'm really scared. If anything happens to seventh brother, how can second brother live in this world!"

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"Second brother, don't blame yourself! Green forest and the government have been different since ancient times. The sun and the moon are different. The seventh brother is a public servant. The second brother can think of brotherly love and fulfill the seventh brother's official mission. He can endure the humiliation and bear the burden of the green forest." My seventh brother can’t bear the complaints!"

Yuanda said:"We and our brothers' happy gathering is like the Cowherd meeting the Weaver Girl - is it easy? Don't talk about those disappointing things, come and drink three hundred cups." He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.!Drink! Why are you so stunned!"

Yuanda resolved the awkward atmosphere with one word. Chen Xin, Yan Yun, Hu Zan, Li Ke and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all drinking from bowls.

Yuanda said to Zhao Yuanchun:"My eldest princess, you are the prime minister's daughter, and my seventh brother is just a servant of Nanya, in heaven and on earth. It is this master who is looked down upon by you dignitaries who are so willing to sacrifice their lives." Forgetting to die and saving you, are you indifferent? Can't you pledge yourself to me?"

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"Eighth brother, please don't talk nonsense!"

Yuanda was already a little drunk and said:"You scholars have a saying What are you talking about - right - how can a person be ruthless without being a grass or a tree? Could it be that this daughter is not even as good as a grass and a tree? If not - then she is not a human being!"

Zhao Yuanrong had been patient for a long time, but now he couldn't hold it anymore and said angrily:"Yuan Da! Don't talk nonsense over wine! My sister is not as good as yours!"

Yuanda said with a smile:"Haha! You, the young prince (think Zhao Yuanrong is Zhao Yuanchun's younger brother Zhao Pu) (son) is so ignorant, the Sa family is trying to find you a good brother-in-law, but you bite Lu Dongbin!"

Zhao Yuan's eyebrows stood up in anger, and he said angrily:"If you continue to talk nonsense, I - I will cut you off, sir! tongue!"

Yuanda said with a smile:"Haha! Zhao Rong, thank you for not being a woman."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"So what?"

Yuanda said:"If it is, that would be terrible! You are so cruel , even if you are the emperor's daughter, you can't get married. Haha!"

Zhao Yuanrong became angry with shame.""Teng" stood up and was about to take action.

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"Drink to cover your face, Mr. Zhao, don't be angry."

Zhao Yuanrong felt that he had been greatly humiliated, and his fiancé did not come forward. He felt even more aggrieved. He held back his tears, turned around and ran out of the tent.

Yuanda did not understand and said:"Alas! He doesn't look like a man. I just say some drunken words or jokes, and he gets angry!"

Chen Xin complained:"Eighth brother is really speaking without restraint! You are not familiar with that prince, how dare you make such a joke!"

The maid Chunrong got up and wanted to chase Zhao Yuanrong. Zhao Yuanchun stopped her and said:"Chunrong! It's dark at night and the road is steep, so I'd better ask Yan Yun to go."Yan Yun hurriedly went out of the tent to look for Zhao Yuanrong. About half an hour later, Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong returned to the tent. Everyone drank for a while.

Zhao Yuanchun was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he and Zhao Yuanrong, Yan Yun, Hu Zan, and Li Kedu, maid Chunrong and the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion returned to Zhangzhou City overnight.

Chen Xin and Yuanda returned to Centipede Mountain overnight.

Zhao Yuanchun and others returned to Zhangzhou and settled down at Jintang Inn. The next day, Hu Zan was hiding his identity Under the circumstances, I went to the state government office to find Xi Kui, the prime minister's"tiger hunter", who also stayed at the Jintang Inn. Zhao Yuanchun and others went through a life-and-death ordeal, and everyone acted with caution, even leaving the inn less than a hundred steps away. Zhao Yuanchun was there Under Chen Xin's medicine, after six or seven days of recovery, his condition gradually improved, and he planned to leave in three days.

On this day, the bartender and guests in the inn were talking about this. Yan Yun walked out of the guest room and asked the bartender.

The bartender cried:"Guardian! That’s incredible! The strong men of Centipede Mountain defeated the newly appointed governor, the county king, and now surrounded the entire Zhangzhou City. The strong men declared: One hundred thousand guan is required, otherwise they will break through Zhangzhou City and kill all the chickens and dogs! Oh my God, how are we going to live?"

Yan Yun thought: What kind of county prince would come to Zhangzhou, a fifth-level state, to serve as governor? He must have been demoted by the imperial court. He must have been an official in the same dynasty as Nanya. He should help to relieve the siege of Zhangzhou. This county prince Who is it? He asked the bartender,"Who is this new governor?"

The bartender panicked and said,"Who cares about the prince, think about how to escape now!""As he was about to leave, Yan Yun grabbed him and gave him a piece of silver.

Yan Yun said:"Bartender, don't panic! May I ask what kind of prince that is?

The bartender put the money into his arms and said,"Officer!" I would like to find out where they are, so that I can tell you. I heard that they are the emperor's younger brother, Prince Liangcheng.

Yan Yun said in surprise:"Kaifeng Prefecture Yin!" The bartender said:"

Exactly.""After replying, he hurried away.

Yan Yun was stunned for a moment, then hurried to the Zhao sisters' guest room and reported what they heard to the Zhao sisters. The three of them discussed that Yan Yun would go to the state government office to find out what happened. Yan Yun walked as fast as flying. When he arrived at the gate of the state government office, he asked the gatekeeper and learned that the new governor was none other than his imperial brother Zhao Guangyi, the prince of Liangcheng County. He revealed his identity and the gatekeeper did not dare to rush into the government office to report. Soon, the gatekeeper came out and led him to the governor's office.

Zhao Guangyi, the prince of Liangcheng County, was wandering in the hall with a haggard face and frowning eyes.

Yan Yun quickly walked into the hall, pushed the gold mountain, toppled the jade pillar, bowed his head and said,"Little Yan Yun has seen your highness."

Zhao GuangWhen he saw Yan Yun, half of the sadness on his face disappeared, and his sadness turned into joy. He quickly stepped forward to help Yan Yun up, and with tears in his eyes, he said:"'Fei Yan'’！‘Feiyan'! I want to harm others! Get up, get up! Get up quickly!" Holding Yan Yun's hand, he helped him sit down.

Yan Yun was so flattered that he dared not sit down. He refused again and again and said,"Your Highness! Your Highness! It can't be done, it can't be done! It’s too small!"Zhao Guangyi had a pleasant look on his face, held him down with both hands, and said:"How can the etiquette of respect and inferiority be set up for me and 'Feiyan'! Sit down, sit down! Let me have a good look at him and look him up and down! Lose weight, lose weight! Yan

Yun couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.

Zhao Guangyi comforted him:"Huailong!" Huailong! I have made you suffer!

Yan Yun couldn't help crying and said:"Your Highness!" Your Highness! It is my duty to die for His Highness, so why should I 'suffer'?"

Zhao Guangyi said:"Why is Huailong crying so much?"

Yan Yun said:"Except for my mother in this world, it is His Highness who loves the little one so much. The little one - the little one" burst into tears.

Zhao Guangyi took out the brocade satin sweat towel to wipe the tears on his face and said:"Little Huailong. He left his hometown at a young age to work as an errand for me, and I was afraid that I might wrong Huailong."

Yan Yun hurriedly left his seat, bowed his head again, and said,"Your Highness! The sky is high for me, and I put all my efforts into running errands, but I am still afraid of letting His Highness down. A few days ago, the younger one had rescued the eldest princess of Hancheng County Prince from Guyue Ridge, and the two princesses were also safe and sound. Zhao

Guangyi helped Yan Yun up and said,"As long as Huailong is fine, I will feel at ease!" Huailong must have gone through many hardships to rescue the princess this time, so he can explain it to me."He then ordered the yamen servants to serve tea and delivered it to Yan Yun personally.

Yan Yun, as if narrating to his mother, recounted in detail everything from leaving Tokyo with the second princess to Gu Yueling to rescue the eldest princess.

Zhao Guangyi listened quietly. , thought carefully, paused after listening, and said apologetically:"I made a mistake! What a mistake! Asking Huailong to take such risks almost cost Huailong his life."
