The dream of a lonely hero

At this time, Zhao Guangyi was worried: the walls of Zhangzhou City were in dilapidated condition, and the Zhangzhou Xiang army was vulnerable. In the Battle of Centipede Mountain, there were only more than 200 soldiers left out of the 500 in Anguofan Town, and the entourage he brought from the Tokyo Palace could not withstand it. It would only be a matter of time before Zhangzhou's city was destroyed by the tiger and wolf army of grass bandits. Even if he was lucky enough to escape again, the court would definitely hold him accountable. At the least, he would be sent to the army and sent to the army, and at the most worst, his head would be shown to the public. What to do? What to do?

Zhao Guangyi lives like a year. At this time Yan Yun came.

Zhao Guangyi briefly told how he came to Zhangzhou.

Yan Yun said:"Your Highness suffered this, Yan Yun is punished with death. Chen Xin, the king of Centipede Mountain, is my sworn brother, and I am willing to go out of the city to persuade him to surrender."

Zhao Guangyi was silent.

Yang Mao said:"Your Highness! I am a vulgar young man. I have something to ask Yan Yun. I wonder if I should tell it?"

Zhao Guangyi said:"But it doesn't matter."

Yang Mao said with full air,"Yan Yun, your martial arts are good, but Why is your intelligence so low! If it weren't for His Highness's great fortune, your damn sworn brother would have killed His Highness. His morale is now at a high level, and you persuade him to surrender, and he still wants to persuade you to surrender? How do you grow your brain? Eat two kilograms. Let's make up for it!"

As soon as Yan Yun entered the back hall and saw Yang Mao, he was filled with anger. He almost lost his life twice in his hands. He wanted to tell Zhao Guangyi, but he kept talking with Zhao Guangyi and had no time. Now he was slandering and angrily yelling:"Yang Mao is a despicable person with a heart as poisonous as a scorpion! He has killed me time and time again. How can His Highness tolerate you, a Xiaoxiao who does all kinds of evil and evil?"

Yangmao didn't know who Xiaoxiao was. What do you mean? She thought she was scolding him for being short in stature, and said:"What's wrong with being small? Even though the bubble of urine is big, it weighs less than a kilogram, and even though the weight is small, it weighs a thousand kilograms. So what if you are five big and three fat, and you have a hollow carrot embroidered robe - it's not good for you! I still have a poisonous heart." Scorpion, you are not as good as you. In order to seize my beautiful cousin, you poisoned her father, my uncle, your benefactor, how dare you pretend to be someone in front of His Highness!" The evil man from Yangmao complained first, confusing right and wrong. Nonsense. Yan Yun was so angry that he was trembling all over, and he stepped forward and raised his fist to fight.

Yang Mao jumped back and ran away, saying:"Your Highness, help me! Yan Yun is committing murder."

Zhao Guangyi said:"Yan Yun, stop it." Yan Yun fell to his knees and said,"I hope Your Highness will make the decision for me!"

Yang Mao also knelt down. , said:"His Royal Highness Wanwang makes the decision for me!"

Zhao Guangyi said:"Get up, everyone! King Gu will not listen to your words. When the Gu family finds out the truth in the future, he will be punished without mercy!"

Chai Yuxi, Sima of the Royal Palace, hurriedly Wanting to meet Zhao Guangyi to report on the battle to defend the city, he walked to the door of the back hall and saw Yan Yun and Yang Mao arguing. After listening for a while, he entered the back hall and said:"Yan Yun and Yang Mao are ignorant! Now the enemy is facing us. , you don’t want to worry about His Highness, but instead bother His Highness with personal grudges, what crime should you do!"

Zhao Guangyi scolded:"Yang Mao, step back! You have nothing to do here."

Yang Mao responded and went out.

Zhao Guangyi said:"Yuxi, how is the war?"

Chai Yuxi said:"Reporting to your highness, the grass bandits are attacking fiercely. The east, south and north city gates are temporarily unobstructed, but the west city gate is tight. Hongbao, the governor of Zhangzhou, died in the battle at the west city gate. The west city gate is in danger."

Zhao Guangyi was anxious, running around, stopped suddenly, and for a moment, he hurriedly took off the sword on the wall, pulled out the sword with a clang, and said:"I would rather die than be humiliated!" He was about to commit suicide.

Yan Yun quickly grabbed Zhao Guangyi's wrist and said:"Your Highness, you can't do it! Wait until the small Ximen meets the enemy. If they can't be retreated, the grassroots bandits will come to see you." After saying that, he walked away.

Zhao Guangyi said with concern:"Huailong, please be careful! Yuxi will lead the way for Yanyun."

Yanyun looked back and said:"Your Highness, take care! If you don't fish for firewood, Sima, I will know the way."

Yanyun flew to the west gate, climbed up the tower, and saw The minions swarmed up the city wall like a tide. Zhangzhou Xiang's army was defeated and fled in defeat. Yan Yun drew out the Green Dragon Sword, squeezed into the crowd of minions, and slashed with one blow. The Green Dragon Sword was like a pear blossom dancing in the wind. The minions would die if they touched it, and they would die if they touched them. In a moment, they were all dead."Help! Help!" Yan Yun followed the shouting. Eight feet away, a thin middle-aged man in a light green official uniform fell to the ground, and a minion was about to chop with a knife. Soon after, Yan Yun threw the Qinglong Sword at the minions, piercing the back of the minions' hearts and causing them to fall to the ground screaming. Zhu Ao, the master of Langtou Village under Centipede Mountain, swung his simple sword and ran towards Yanyun to sweep across his back. Hearing the sound of the wind, Yan Yun stood on tiptoes and rose into the air. With his feet in mid-air, he used the"Double Peaks to Pierce the Ears" move, and quickly charged towards Zhu Xie with both feet. Zhu Xie Qiqiao bled and fell to the ground dead. Yan Yun picked up the sword as soon as he landed and rushed into the enemy group. With a mouthful of sword, he saw the minions falling one by one and in groups. Just as they were getting ready to kill, suddenly a big man holding a sword stood in front of him.

Yan Yun couldn't help but was stunned. He suddenly felt that the simple knife in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and his whole body seemed to be filled with lead. He could not move with the knife or lift his feet. He took a breath of cold air and said:"Second brother!"

This big man is the second brother of Yanyun Meiyuan,"Xiao Meng Shang Sai Bian Que" Chen Xin Chen Congyi, the general leader of the three mountains and eighteen villages under Centipede Mountain.. He and Yuanda were supervising the formation at the foot of the city when they saw Zhu Ao, the master of Langtou Mountain Village, leading two hundred men to attack the west gate of Zhangzhou. He was very happy. In the blink of an eye, he saw a strong man on the city gate rushing left and right to attack the men. The soldiers were killed with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The leader of Langtou Mountain Village, Zhu Ao, was also beaten to death. He was so angry that he burst into rage and screamed:"Wow! How can you make a cooked duck fly?" The eighth brother (Yuan Da) took the place of his second brother. Command, the second brother goes to the city to see what kind of monster that guy (Yan Yun) is, and kills many brothers in the Sa family." He handed Yuanda the command flag in his hand and jumped off the horse.

Yuanda hurriedly said:"No! No! The second brother asked the eighth brother to rush forward."

Chen Xin's eyes widened and he ran towards the tower. Chen Xin rarely got angry, and when he did, no one would say anything. Yuanda was helpless.

Chen Xin held the whip in both hands and looked at Yan Yun blankly. The two sides were silent, unintentionally avoiding the embarrassment. When all the minions saw that the king was taking the lead in climbing the ladder to attack the city tower, they dared not neglect it, so they all climbed up the city tower bravely. Yan Yun was extremely anxious. If he had asked Chen Xin to save him many times, he would have become a ghost in the underground. Do he really want to meet his benefactor with a sword drawn? If the silence is not broken, Ximen will not be protected, and Prince Liang will also be burned to death. Yan Yun has no choice, and said:"Second brother! Seventh brother, please rein in the situation quickly. You must not make the same mistake again!"

Chen Xin said urgently. :"Back off the cliff! How many brothers have you beaten and killed? If it weren't for you, I would not be standing here but at the Zhangzhou Yamen."

Yan Yun said:"The crime of attacking the government is the same as rebellion. Remember the oath we swore, 'Together with one heart' Work together to rescue the poor and help the people in danger; report to the country and protect the common people’"

Chen Xin sneered and said:"Haha! Report it to the country and find out that a group of corrupt officials supported by the country have made it difficult for the people to make a living. I and a few brothers Wanbahao were not forced to have their families destroyed, but we were forced to rebel by the government! If you join the officialdom, Do you mean to report to the country that you are a commoner? Let me tell you, you are helping the evil! Now you and I can't look back. In the eyes of the government, my sin is unforgivable. Your hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of my brothers. Centipede Mountain can tolerate you. Really!"

Neither Yan Yun nor Chen Xin could convince the other. More and more minions climbed up the tower. Yan Yun thought: if you want to capture the thief first, capture the king. If you don't drive the second brother off the tower, the west gate can be breached. But he had no choice but to say:"Brother benefactor! Forgive Yan Yun for being unreasonable." He swung his sword and ran towards Chen Xin and struck at the top of the door.. Chen Xin came to greet him with both whips flying, and said:"You are an official and I am a thief. Sooner or later, I will be killed." The two of them were killed in one place with whips and knives. Yan Yun condensed the internal Kung Fu of the Taihe Sect and the external Kung Fu of the Sishan Sect into the simple sword in his hand. It was a combination of hardness and softness, extremely powerful, and also had extraordinary light skills. Chen Xin could not gain the upper hand at all. After fighting for more than ten rounds, Yan Yun swiped Chen Xin's legs with a knife. Chen Xin jumped to the crenellations of the city wall. Yan Yun didn't wait for Chen Xin to change his moves, and suddenly struck Chen Xin's feet with a knife, as fast as lightning. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xin jumped up to avoid the knife. When his feet landed on the crenel, he could no longer stand still. He dodged and fell towards the city wall. If Chen Xin fell from the three-foot-high city wall, he would be crippled even if he didn't die. Yan Yun flew towards the city wall with an arrow, and quickly grabbed the gourd steel whip in Chen Xin's hand with his right hand. The simple knife shaft in his left hand caught the crenellations of the city wall, and held it steady for a moment. The city wall was in disrepair for a long time, and the crenellations were washed and weathered by wind and rain. The Pu Dao knife shaft could not be supported seriously, and with a"crash", the crenel collapsed, and Yan Yun and Chen Xin fell down. Yan Yun's Qinggong was so good that he landed firmly on the base of the city wall. Chen Xin fell to the ground and was fine. Yan Yun grabbed his steel whip. The length of Yan Yun's arm plus the length of the steel whip plus Chen Xin's height meant that Chen Xin fell from a height of less than two feet. Chen Xin still had martial arts skills, so he did not fall. Injury to bones and muscles. Yan Yun looked at Chen Xin who was lying on the ground and said that he was okay, and said:"Second brother, Yan Yun has been offended! Please go back to the village to recuperate. Later Yan Yun goes up the mountain to make amends." After saying that, he held up the Pu Dao with both hands and jumped up. Touch the city wall with your toes and fly up the city wall.

The minions on the city wall saw that the king was knocked down from the city wall, and they all rolled down with the help of ladders. The thin official who was rescued by Yan Yun on the city tower saw his minions defeated at the bottom of the city, and his soul was recovered, so he ordered the Xiang army to rush to the crenellations of the city wall; seeing Chen Xin lying on the ground, he hurriedly ordered the archers to release arrows. At this time, Yan Yun had already flown up the city wall and said hurriedly:"Stop! Don't shoot arrows."

The thin official said:"Man, if you can't kill the snake, you will be in trouble later!

" Yan Yun said:"If you want to shoot, shoot me."

The thin official said The soldiers of the Xiang Army knew that it was entirely up to Yan Yun to protect the west gate, but they did not dare to fire arrows. Chen Xin quickly got up and returned to his formation, sounded the gong and retreated his troops.

Although Yan Yun has extraordinary skills, the common people look down on him because he is thin and thin.

The thin official asked in a contemptuous tone:"What's the man's name?"

Yan Yun looked at him with disdainful eyes. From the light green official robe, he could see that he was a court official of the seventh rank. Although he was angry in his heart, he did not break out and said:"In Xia Liang Yan Yun, the official of the county king, came under the command of the county king Jun to relieve the siege of Ximen."

Hearing this, the thin official immediately smiled, knelt down and saluted, and said:"I am blind, please forgive me, forgive me!" Chapter The state judge Yao Shu has seen Shangcha. Shangcha is really a god descended from the earth, and he is worthy of being an expert in the county prince's palace! Without Shangcha's rescue, the west gate would have been captured by grass bandits, and I would have returned to the west with my life! Thanks to Shangcha for saving my life, I'm an old man. I will never forget the great kindness of my superiors until my death!"

When Yan Yun heard that it was Yao Shu, he felt a surge of anger in his heart and thought: When Yao Shu was appointed as the magistrate of Zhenzhou, his second son Yao Yongzhong raped a commoner's daughter and was killed. He crippled himself and arrested him without any hesitation; his eldest son, Yao Yonghe, robbed the merchant Chuan's stone and inkstone shop, causing the death of Chuan's two sons and three nephews, and ruining Chuan's family; he visited the thief Yanfeng privately; if he had known it was this dog official, I really shouldn't have saved him; now that the matter has come to this, I have no regrets. He said coldly:"It's all Yan Yun's fault." He walked up to the body of the gangster with the Qinglong Sword inserted in it, pulled out the Qinglong Sword and wiped it on the body. The blood stains were still in the scabbard.

Yao Shu knelt for a long time, but did not see Yan Yun return the favor. He stood up dejectedly and suddenly remembered that Yan Yun was a wanted criminal when he was in Zhenzhou. He fell to his knees and crawled to Yan Yun's feet, crying:"Sir Forgive me, forgive me! Wanwang Shangchao, forgive me! The little laoer was a fool in Zhenzhou, which caused the superior to be unjustly wronged. Thank you to the superior for disciplining the naughty dog ​​for the little laoer, otherwise, how many more children would have been born? Incident."

Yan Yun did not answer his words and said:"Although the grass bandits will not attack the west gate again for a while, Judge Yao cannot take it lightly and lead his soldiers to guard it. Yan will return to the Yamen to give orders." After saying that, he hurriedly went down to the West Gate Tower. Benzhou Yamen.

Yan Yun came to the gate of the state government office and saw sisters Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Wanrong also coming to the door. He bowed and saluted and said,"Yan Yun has met the two princesses."

Sisters Zhao Yuanchun and Zhao Wanrong saw the one in front of them. The men covered in blood were all surprised. When they looked closely, they recognized Yan Yun. Zhao Yuanchun was worried and happy at the same time. He couldn't say a thousand words, but only conveyed endless greetings with his eyes.

Zhao Yunrong's distressed tears kept falling, and after a moment, he said loudly:"Yan Yun, why don't you die!" He threw himself into Yan Yun's arms and hugged her tightly.He hugged her, bursting into tears, and said,"You've been gone for a long time and there's been no news. I know—I know—people are worried—worried—how worried!"

Yan Yun was very embarrassed and slowly wanted to get away from her. He held up his arms and said:"It's okay, it's okay. It won't be more than an hour."

Zhao Yunrong hugged him tighter and said:"It's been more than an hour, where have you been? Where have you been?"

Yan Yun was embarrassed and said"In this case, how do you ask me to reply to the princess?"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"No matter, no matter, I don't care!"

Yan Yun said:"This is the state government office."

Of course Zhao Yuanrong knew that as the prime minister's daughter in public, It was inappropriate to behave like this, but her care and concern made her forget all this. Yan Yun reminded her that she would no longer forget herself, let go of Yan Yun, and looked at him eagerly.

Yan Yun then told the story of how he met Zhao Guangyi, Prince of Liang County, and retreated from the grass bandits in Centipede Mountain at the West City Gate after breaking up with the Zhao sisters at Jintang Inn.

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Is Huailong injured? Let me see!"

Yan Yun hurriedly stepped back and said:"No, no. The blood on this body was splashed by grass bandits."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"You go Defeat the enemy, why don't you take me with you? You regard me as a burden again!"

Yan Yun said:"What the hell! It was so urgent at that time, how could there be time?"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"It was so urgent! That's the reason! I should be thrown here. Behind the head!"

Yan Yun said:"Second Princess! His Royal Highness is still waiting for me to report the war."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Urgent! Urgent! Ignore me completely!"

Yan Yun was anxious and said:"No—— No, let's talk about it later."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Look back, I haven't had time to listen yet!"

Zhao Yuanchun had wanted to persuade Zhao Yuanrong, but he swallowed his words as soon as they came to his lips, for fear that Yuanrong would misunderstand. At this time, He had to say,"Yanrong! You and I are not under the jurisdiction of the king. Yanyun is a subordinate of the king. He missed the king's errand. What should I do with him!"

Zhao Yunrong stopped talking.

How did the Zhao sisters come to the gate of the state government office? It starts with Yan Yun bidding farewell to the Zhao sisters and going to the state government office to inquire about news. After Yan Yun left, for about an hour, Zhao Yunrong was in despair and anxious. He kept pacing in the guest room and looked at the window sill from time to time. Zhao Yuanchun was anxious in his heart, and he was also wondering: Why did Yan Yun not come back after being gone for a long time? He was sitting on the chair, holding the sweat towel in his hand and sweating.

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Sister! Sister! Something happened to Huailong, right? How long has it been, how long, and he hasn't come back!"

Zhao Yuanchun thought: Yanyun went to Zhangzhou Yamen to find out if Zhao Guangyi, the king of Liangjun, came to Zhangzhou to take office. Changli It was inferred that nothing unexpected would happen to him. Why did he not return for a long time?

Zhao Yuanrong saw his sister deep in thought and said nothing,"Even if Huailong crawled, he should have crawled back by now. No! Something must have happened to Huailong. We can't wait any longer, we have to go to the Yamen to have a look. Sister, let's go."

Zhenghe Zhao Yuanchun meant it, but she couldn't say it.

After Zhao Yuanrong said this, he picked up Zhao Yuanchun and walked to the Yamen.

Zhao Yuanchun said to Yan Yun:"Take my sisters to meet the county king."

Yan Yun led the way, and the Zhao sisters followed them to the back hall of the state government office.

Liangjun Wang Zhao Guangyi was restless and walked around the room. When he heard that Yan Yun was back, he immediately became energetic. He looked at the bloody man in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. After a moment, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Yan Yun's hand, and said with tears in his eyes:"Yan Yun! Yan Yun, you want to harm the Gu family!" He shouted,"Cheng De! Cheng De, hurry up and treat Yan Yun's injuries."

Yan Yun knelt down and saluted:"Your Highness! Yan Yun is not injured, and all the blood on his body is It was splashed on by killing the grass bandits. Reporting back to Your Highness, Ximen grass bandits——"
