The dream of a lonely hero

Tao Erdon howled in pain and said:"Mother, mother! Master! Be gentle! The white horse belongs to my family." The tall man kicked Tao Erdon in the belly and shouted:"If you don't tell the truth, The uncle will beat you to death!"

Tao Erlu cried:"Uncle! The younger one is about to meet the King of Hell, how dare he not tell the truth? The truth!" The short man said:"Bring the uncle quickly. Let’s go to your house."

The short man pulled Tao Er Donkey to lead the way, and the tall man led the white horse to look towards Tao Er Donkey’s house.

Yan Yun thought to himself that this tall man and one short man did not look like a villager. He must have been sent by Prince Fang to find Prince Jin. He followed a few steps to catch up and said:"Could it be that the two guests were ordered by King Fang to look for King Jin? I am too, why don't we look for him together?"

After hearing this, the tall man and the short man looked at each other, and the short man said reluctantly," Then let's go."

The four people and one horse walked for less than an hour and entered Tao Gong's courtyard. When the tall man saw the earthen wall of the hut, he shouted:"Tao Erlu, how could you afford such a beautiful horse and horse because your family is so poor!" He beat Tao Erlu again.

The short man supported Tao Erlu and said,"If you don't tell the truth anymore, go and tell the truth to the Lord of Hell!"

Tao Erlu cried,"Uncle! This young man has not been back for ten days and a half. When he came back yesterday, he saw his home. There is a white horse. I don't know where my parents got it from. I want to take it to the owner of the village to exchange for some silver."

The short man said,"Where are your parents?"

Tao Er's donkey barked for a long time without answering,"Old man If the immortal doesn't come out, I'm really - really dead!"

The tall man and the short man quickly went to the main room to search. Yan Yun thought in the courtyard that the owner of the family might have some clues about Prince Jin.

Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi recognized Yan Yun in the thatched cottage in the east wing. He hurriedly opened the door and ran out, saying:"Huai Long! Huai Long is here." Yan Yun was startled. He looked at the thin man with a sallow face in front of him and recognized him as Chao Si. The master of his dream, Prince Jin, was surprised and bowed his head to Gan, saying:"Yan Yun came too late to save you! I apologize for frightening Your Highness!" Zhao Guangyi helped Yan Yun up and was about to say hello when a sharp sword came straight towards his throat. Zhao Guangyi fell to the ground with a thump.

Yan Yun bowed down to listen to the sound of the sword coming out of the sword case and the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, and suddenly pushed Zhao Guangyi away. The tall man who attacked Zhao Guangyi. The tall man said to Yan Yun:"What the hell are you waiting for? Why haven't you killed the spies of Liao State?"

Yan Yun said:"Nonsense! This is the King of Jin."

The tall man did not listen to Yan Yun's instructions and raised his sword again. Come to Zhao Guangyi. Yan Yun fought with the tall man with his sword. The short man holding a sword took advantage of Zhao Guangyi. Yan Yun hurriedly turned around to catch the short man and fight. The tall and short guys are not weak in martial arts, but they are far behind Yan Yun. Yan Yun thought that he had killed nine generals of Fangjun Wang and could not commit any more killings. Besides, I didn’t even know that the tall and short men were ordered by King Fang to kill King Jin. While he was fighting, he said:"This is King Jin, not a spy! Stop, stop!" The tall and short people didn't care at all, and their swords became more and more fierce. Yan Yun had no choice but to fight with all his heart. After five or six rounds, one sword pierced the tall man's thigh, and the short man's calf also received three sword blows. Both the tall man and the short man fell to the ground. Zhao Guangyi drew out his sword and stepped forward quickly, killing the tall and short men with a"swish". Yan Yun is wondering. Zhao Guangyi raised his sword and killed Tao Erlu who was lying on the ground.

Yan Yun was puzzled and said:"Your Highness! Those two are the messengers of Prince Fang. They were ordered to find Your Highness. Why do you want their lives?"

Zhao Guangyi said:"I will tell you more in detail later. Let's go! Let's go quickly." Hold the hand. He left the courtyard gate and walked south.

Yan Yun said:"Your Highness! This is the wrong way. There is only one way to go north out of Iron Valley: Jueyang Ridge!"

Zhao Guangyi said:"Zhao Guangmei has already laid a trap. How can he let the lonely king throw himself into the trap?"

Yan Yun was confused and confused."How could it be possible? He is His Highness's younger brother!"

Zhao Guangyi said,"I will tell you in detail later."

The two walked for two or three miles, and came towards Tao Gong and Tao Po. Tao Gong said:"Officials of the Jin Dynasty! Why are you leaving in such a hurry? It's the little old man who waited too long! You see, the little old man bought wine and meat and went back to stay for the night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

Zhao Guangyi prevaricated:"Don't bother me anymore. Xiao Ke has something urgent to do. Let's go first."

Tao Gong said:"Oh! Today I went to the market and saw many villagers holding a picture and meeting strangers one by one. What did they say about arresting Liao? He is a spy of the state."

Zhao Guangyi was startled and said:"Goodbye, my father-in-law!" He turned around and left with Yan Yun. After walking seven or eight steps, he slowly drew out his sword, turned around and quickly caught up with Tao Gong and his wife. With two swords, Tao Gong and his wife fell to the ground dead.

Yan Yun walked up quickly and said:"Your Highness! Why do you want their lives? They are just people from the mountains."

Zhao Guangyi said:"If the Gu family doesn't want their lives, they will definitely report to the village owner when they go home and see their son killed. The Lord has been ordered by Zhao Guangmei to send Zhuang Ding everywhere to arrest the Gu family. How will we escape?"

Yan Yun said:"This old couple is not guilty, not guilty!"

Zhao Guangyi said:"They are not guilty and do not deserve to die. It will be you and me!"

Zhao Guangyi and Yan Yun rushed south all the way, and after walking for more than ten miles, they immediately reached the foot of the mountain. Suddenly they heard shouts from behind:"Capture the spy! Capture the spy! Don't let him run away!" Zhao Guangyi and Yan Yun looked back and saw a group of people riding fast horses with torches and swords in hand.

It is said that Tao Dali, the eldest son of Mr. Tao, robbed Tao Erlu of twelve taels of silver and went to the gambling house to gamble. He took out the money and was seen by the leader of the village who was gambling with him. The leader concluded that there was no one else who could make money in this village except the owner. Tao Dalius must have stolen the owner's money for gambling. Then he grabbed him in front of the owner and beat him up. Said it belonged to my parents. The owner of the village thought that Tao Dashu's parents might have been paid by Liao spies, so he urgently ordered the leader to lead fifty villagers to Tao's house to see what was going on, and asked Tao Dashu to lead the way. When they arrived at Tao's house, they saw three corpses. The leader understood the general idea and thought that since he didn't meet anyone walking north along the way, it must be difficult to leave. He then led the villagers to chase south and soon caught up with Zhao Guangyi and Yan Yan. cloud.

The leader said to the villagers:"The village master ordered to kill the spies of Liao State and reward him with thousands of gold coins! That short man is the one in the painting. What are you waiting for!" The villagers jumped off their horses and swarmed forward with their weapons in hand.

Yan Yun asked Zhao Guangyi to escape along the path at the foot of the mountain. After holding up the Green Dragon Sword and breaking it, Yan Yun said loudly:"Hey! You don't want to be deceived by traitors. The king of Jin, who is actually the imperial brother of the Song Dynasty, is definitely not a spy of the Liao State. If you are obsessed with not realizing your crime and collaborating in rebellion, you will be killed without mercy!" The leader said to the villagers:"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, kill them both quickly!" Yan Yun pulled his sword like a flock of sheep and started killing, the green dragon sword gleaming with cold light. , flesh and blood flew everywhere, and in an instant, more than a dozen villagers fell in a pool of blood. The rest had never seen such a murderous demon running away with its head in its arms. Yan Yun did not catch up, and hurriedly followed the path up the mountain root, and caught up with King Jin from time to time.

The master and the servant walked quickly along the winding mountain road under the moonlight. After walking for more than half an hour, they saw a bright light shining in the deep grass and dense forest not far ahead. Looking closer, they saw that the light was coming from a thatched house.. Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi and Yan Yun were hungry and thirsty, so they planned to go in and pay some silver to ask for something to eat and drink. Yan Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door. The sound of"squeak" sounded particularly eerie in the deep mountains, and King Jin couldn't help but shudder. A bearded man walked out of the thatched cottage door and asked,"What are you doing this late at night?"

Yan Yun said,"My master and servant have lost their way. We are asking for some food and drink. Can I pay you some silver?"

The man looked at it. Looking at him, he looked at Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi carefully and said,"Come in." Yan Yun and Jin Wang followed him into the thatched house. The man approached the innermost door, opened the curtain and went in, saying,"Follow me." King Jin and Yan Yun followed him in. King Jin just stepped out of the threshold and fell. Yan Yun quickly grabbed King Jin's hand, and his feet slipped and he fell, head down and feet up. In a hurry, his toes hooked tightly on the horizontal log in the air.

This man had been waiting here for a long time under the orders of Prince Fang. What was covered by the curtain of the deepest room of the thatched house was not a room at all, but a mountain stream more than ten feet deep. Two bridges made of three-foot-long logs led to the other side of the mountain stream. To set the trap, he chopped off a log until it was just one. He opened the door curtain and stepped out. He quickly turned sideways and grabbed the window lattice on the back wall of the thatched cottage. Seeing that King Jin's master and servant had fallen into the trap, he immediately turned over and entered the room. He picked up the big ax and laughed loudly:"Zhao Guangyi! Zhao Guangyi, if you don't come here again, I will become his mother." You're a savage!" He raised his ax and chopped down the single tree.

Yan Yun grasped King Jin with his left hand, hooked the wooden log with his toes and moved slowly towards the opposite side. The humidity in the mountain was high, and Yan Yun's left foot slipped and could not hook the wooden log. It was trembling, and he was in danger of falling in an instant. The man's ax fell on the tree, causing it to tremble abnormally. King Jin had never experienced such a thrilling experience in his life, and he couldn't stop screaming. Yan Yun concentrated and held his breath, channeled his inner strength to the tip of his right toe, and lifted his body up with force, firmly clamping the log with his legs. The man had already cut one-third of the diameter of the single tree into pieces, and it would break in two or three more axes. Yan Yun grabbed two"index finger darts" and shot them toward the man's eyebrows and throat. The man was caught off guard and fell onto the log. The log creaked and was about to break. Yan Yun used his legs to swing his body towards the opposite side as if on a swing. His legs let go of the canopy and his body flew into the air. His right hand firmly grasped the opposite tree trunk. He was as fast as chasing the wind and moved as fast as a rabbit running away. There was a"hulong" sound, and the tree and the man's body fell into the deep stream.

King Jin was like a pile of mud leaning against the tree trunk next to the deep stream. He looked at the dimly lit thatched cottage opposite and looked down at the dark deep stream where the bottom could not be seen. He was so frightened that he lost his mind. For a long time, he burst into tears and couldn't help himself. Yan Yun sat next to him, meditating and using his internal energy to restore his strength. Hearing King Jin's wails, he hurriedly stopped his internal energy and shouted:"Your Highness! Your Highness, don't be surprised! Your Highness, don't be shocked!" King Jin was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. Wherever I could hear it, I was still crying. Yan Yun had no choice but to let him cry. After a while, King Jin seemed to have let go of his extreme panic and stopped crying, but he was still in a daze. He hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Yan Yun, speaking very quickly:"Mighty man! Heroic man saved me. The strong man is my savior, thank you very much! The strong man is my reborn father and mother. When I rule the world, I will give the yellow robe to the strong man!"

The sentence"I rule the world" made Yan Yun unable to hear anything else clearly. If anyone else Saying this, he must have thought that the great treason and immorality should be punished by everyone. King Jin's words made him excited, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said:"Yan Yun and the people in the world are thinking of you Mingjun like a drought and looking forward to the rain. If your highness is in charge of the great treasure, he will be a generation of saints." He Qinghaiyan, the master of peace in the world, will definitely kill all the treacherous officials like Jin Huarong. I will see you, Your Majesty!"

King Jin felt speechless, but he was very relieved to see Yan Yun being so loyal, and he didn't know what to say. What? He said:"Ah, ah! King Gu said that Huailong was the savior of King Gu."

Yan Yun's brain quickly followed the words in the sky and on the ground, and he said hurriedly:"His Highness said it, the little one belongs to His Highness The vanguard is Yan Yun."

The King of Jin got up startled. He had never lost his composure like this before, but he still remembered what he said. He was ashamed and regretful. After a moment, he calmed down and said:"I - I have lost my composure! Huailong Pingshen."

Yan Yun was at a loss, and subconsciously looked at the deep stream, hesitating:"Little one - little one didn't see it - saw the assassin falling into the deep stream with a 'hulong' sound."

King Jin was quite satisfied with his intentional or unintentional answer. , saved him from the embarrassing situation, and said:"Huailong's martial arts is outstanding, no, no, it is extraordinary! If I hadn't seen such agility with my own eyes today, I wouldn't have believed it in 'Xiangfu Shuang'e' (Zhao Yuanchun, Zhao Yuan) (Rong) talked about the adventure on the cliffs of Gu Yueling. Although Gu Wang had a dangerous journey, he was able to see Huai Long's unique skills with his own eyes. This trip was not in vain, and this trip was not in vain! If nothing else, this is the success of Gu Zhen's rescue. I don’t know how to reward Huailong, so I won’t treat Huailong badly when I return to Beijing. Huailong’s loyalty and bravery are comparable to those of the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty in ancient times. King Gu wants to accept Huailong as his godson, so good!" His He means very well, and Yan Yun will definitely accept it happily.

Yan Yun was very unnatural. He said something unintentionally, but the King of Jin mistakenly thought that he was relying on his ability to ask for rewards. He said awkwardly:"Your Highness! I don't think I am very capable. As His Highness's attendant, I am here to protect you." Escorting the driver is all part of the job. The little one - the little one doesn't show off at all. Besides, the little one is slow and tired in rescuing the driver, so His Highness is in danger many times. Instead of punishing the driver, His Highness wants to reward him generously. I don't dare to deserve it! Since His Highness When I accepted the little one in Liushuangyuan of the Royal Palace, the little one regarded His Highness as his father in my heart, and His Highness never gave up on him as his son. There was a father-son feeling in their hearts, so why did they tend to the external form of father and son? What?" It means that since both sides recognize the friendship between father and son, there is no need to go through the motions of commensurate father and son.

Yan Yun's reasonable rejection surprised King Jin. Yan Yun was loyal and had extraordinary martial arts skills, but he could not control him like an ordinary person. He had to be careful in how he used Yan Yun.

King Jin was a little embarrassed and said perfunctorily:"Okay! Don't follow the trend of the people, don't cling to the dragon or the phoenix. You are a hero and behave like a gentleman!" It was dark at night. King Jin and Yan Yun lit up torches in the cold wind and climbed over a ridge along the mountain road to a place. Shelter. Yan Yun cut down a large pile of dry wood and hay to light a fire. King Jin and Yan Yun sat by the bonfire to keep warm. It was windy and cold in the middle of the night, and King Jin still felt cold and sat huddled up. Yan Yun deduced that Prince Jin had never experienced such a hardship, and was afraid that he would not be able to survive it and would freeze. He used his internal energy to gather heat and put his palms against his back to pass it on to him. He felt his whole body gradually becoming warmer, and slowly straightened up, saying,"I didn't expect Huailong to have such magical powers!"

Yan Yun's internal energy has been practiced for many years, and he practiced it every day for more than ten years from the age of ten to his early twenties. Unexpectedly, he was on the verge of reaching the level of proficiency. He could talk to people while practicing martial arts without going crazy. He said,"Your Highness! It's not a magical power, it's just an internal skill developed by small and large people."

King Jin joked:"Can I also teach it? Teach the lonely family!"

Yan Yun said solemnly:"It takes less than a day to freeze three feet. It will take at least ten years to practice until you are young."

King Jin said:"Oh!"

Yan Yun thought of the man who fell into the deep stream. In one sentence,"Zhao Guangyi! Zhao Guangyi, if you don't come again, I will become a fucking savage!" Feeling that King Jin was right, Prince Fang set up a dragnet to hunt down Prince Jin. He was very confused and said:"Prince Fang He and His Highness are brothers from the same father and mother. Why - why do you want to put His Highness to death?"

King Jin looked at the confused man and said:"For - it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know what he is going to do. Whatever is enough."

Yan Yun thought that they, their flesh-and-blood brothers, were lacking something today. Prince Fang Jun insisted on putting the other party to death quickly. Since his master, Prince Jin, had something to hide, it was inconvenient to ask,"Some time ago, I heard that His Highness led the army to Tanzhou, Dingyouzhou, Yanyun Eleven Prefecture, and surrendered. Why did it happen in the blink of an eye? Can't a little sworn brother keep secrets and make a difference?"

The King of Jin was at a loss what to do. He sighed and rolled the dragon. The river bank is lush and lush, from the restoration of Xiong Prefecture to Dingyou Prefecture to the defeat in Jueyang Ridge and the disaster in the Iron Valley. Yan Yun was devastated when he heard that his adopted brother Guo Mao had died of excessive drinking. He unconsciously put away his inner strength and cried bitterly. For a long time, he stopped crying and looked up at the pale and ruthless cold moon. He twisted up and flew up. He really wanted to fly to In the sky, the Qinglong Sword was drawn out and danced wildly, roaring"Heaven is jealous of talents, God is jealous of talents! God will take my sworn brother's life, take his life!" It fell to the ground, and immediately flew up, with another roar, the Qinglong Sword wanted to kill him The night opens.
