The dream of a lonely hero

When I was young, three or five court servants came running over.

Yan Feng hurriedly said:"Shangchao, superior! Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! The young one is flirting with the princess."

The prince said angrily:"You don't know how to live and die, how dare you insult the prime minister's daughter!" Raise your hand and hit.

Yanfeng dodges in a hurry.

The girl holding the jade Ruyi said:"Stop! This Yanfeng was invited by me to tune the piano. I don't know if the second princess has misunderstood."

A court official laughed with him and said:"It turns out that he is the distinguished guest of the princess. I have offended him.! I hope Mr. Yan will forgive me." After saying that, he and the other deans left.

The princess ordered the maid to retreat.

These two girls are the jewel in the eye of the Prime Minister Zhao Pu, the princess of Hancheng County. The girl holding the jade Ruyi is the princess Zhao Yuanchun, and the girl holding the sword is the princess Zhao Yuanrong. Yan Feng understood what the princess said and was surprised and happy. He bowed his head to the princess and said:"Thanks to the princess for saving me! You are really the reincarnation of the great and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. It's so beautiful to see you today." What a blessing Yan Feng has accumulated in his eight lifetimes! The princess is refined and talented, can the young man ask the princess for advice on piano skills? It will open my eyes to the frog in the well. If I can, my life, Yan Feng, will be worthy of my life!"

Erjun The master, Zhao Yuanrong, grabbed the words and said:"What a sweet mouth, my sister is easy to fool! Don't think that my sister saved you, you don't know the heights of the world, and you dare to ask for advice on piano art. The music in my hand You're welcome with your sword!"

Princess Zhao Yuanchun said:"Yanrong, put away your sword quickly. Word has spread that you are not elegant in wielding the sword."

Zhao Yuanrong returned the sword to its scabbard and said,"This guy is caressing your piano. , what should I do if the news spreads?"

Yan Feng said hurriedly:"Second Princess! I have never seen the eldest princess's piano in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone touched it."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"How can someone who comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion tune the piano? If you don't move the harp, you're worried too much."

The three of them were talking. Anguo Jiedu Li Weidong and a group of bureaucrats surrounded Prime Minister Zhao Pu and walked to the Cuju venue in the center of Qixia Garden. General Hu Zan, the post-officer (secretary) of the Xiangfu Hall, walked to the rockery and said to Yan Feng,"You must be Mr. Jun Biao, Li Jieshuai's disciple!"

Yan Feng bowed his hands and saluted, and said,"That's Yan Fengyan." Jun Biao." General

Hu Zan said:"In accordance with the decree of the Prime Minister Jun, Mr. Yan is invited to go and play Cuju."

Yan Feng immediately followed Hu Zan to the Cuju field.

The eldest princess, Zhao Yuanchun, and the second princess, Zhao Yuanrong, made an appointment today to go to Qixia Garden to play and enjoy the harp. The maid had already prepared the Yao harp and was just waiting for the princesses to come. Unexpectedly, Yan Feng was in trouble. Hit by mistake. Yan Fengsheng's appearance is handsome and unrestrained, and his first sense is enough to conquer the hearts of girls all over the world. Yanfeng was also versatile. He was proficient in playing, singing, dancing, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing football, playing bamboo and playing silk. He was especially proficient in playing football and playing the piano. Which scholar-bureaucrat would not want such a versatile Qingke (for People who serve bureaucrats and wealthy people for fun and entertainment). Yan Feng is also well-behaved, well-spoken and has the ability to please girls. The eldest princess Zhao Yuanchun and the second princess Zhao Yuanrong naturally have a deep admiration for Yan Feng.

Zhao Yuanchun stared at Yan Feng's back, his thoughts flying and he didn't realize it. Zhao Yuanrong unconsciously looked at Yan Feng's retreating back, and felt shy for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Zhao Yuanchun was still staring at Yan Feng's back, quietly approaching her and waving his hands in front of her eyes. Only then did Zhao Yuanchun recover his thoughts, his face flushed with shame.

Zhao Yunrong smiled and said:"Sister, the rouge is a bit thicker today, come here and let me wipe it." He took out the brocade handkerchief to wipe her face.

Zhao Yuanchun was really embarrassed and said:"The rouge is too thick today. It's all because of you. I didn't even look in the mirror when I went out. If I don't want to take advantage of my sister, I'll do it myself."

Zhao Yuanrong chuckled and said:"Haha! Oh, is that true! The rouge is thick, the rouge is thick!

Zhao Yuanchun said shyly:"You girl, what's so funny about the thick rouge!""

Zhao Yuanrong still kept laughing and said:"Haha! Don't laugh, don't laugh. Then tell the truth, have you found your Xiao Lang (lover)?"

Zhao Yuanrong hit the nail on the head.

Zhao Yuanchun's face turned red with embarrassment and said:"Yanrong, Yuanrong! You are talking nonsense, I-I will ignore you!"

Zhao Yuanrong joked:"Okay! I will not say. What woman wouldn't love such a young man who looks like Pan An? If you don't tell the truth, I will get there first. Don't regret it then.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Go and get it yourself. When did my sister fight with you?""

Zhao Yuanrong saw that she was serious and did not dare to joke anymore, and said:"Sister, I apologize! You think Mr. Yan is good, but I don't think so. His face is 70% more delicate and 30% less majestic. Even if he is 30% more majestic, my sister will never do anything despicable to win someone's love.

Zhao Yuanchun said angrily," How dare you talk nonsense!"

Zhao Yuanrong smiled and said,"Okay!" good! My sister just doesn’t say anything. Sister, let’s go up to the rockery and see if Yanfeng’s football skills are as good as his piano skills."He helped Zhao Yuanchun up to the rockery to watch.

Yan Feng came on stage just in time to offer his advice. He threw the ball in the air, used his shoulders, back, and head to ball. The ball stuck to his body like swim bladder glue, and he used many tricks to"arrange flowers diagonally" , beads on Buddha's head, picking up fish on dry land, golden Buddha grinding mill, carrying the moon on both shoulders, kidnapping flow, arranging flowers obliquely, kidnapping shooting stars" a series of tricks were dizzying, and Prime Minister Zhao Pu and other officials all cheered. For about half an hour, the ball was in Yan Feng's feet and body were tumbling and never landed. Yan Feng finished kicking and knelt down to Prime Minister Zhao Pu. The

Zhao sisters who were watching the ball on the rockery all admired Yan Feng's superb skills.

Zhao Yuanrong said in surprise:"I didn't expect that Yan Feng With her gentle demeanor and such skill, my sister is really discerning!

Zhao Yuanchun said:"After playing football, Yan Feng has to go back with Li Jieshuai.""

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Sister, don't be superior, little sister has her own clever plan."

Zhao Yuanrong immediately went down from the rockery to find Hu Zan, the post-official of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chen said that the Prime Minister was busy with state affairs and had a lot of time to attend to. He had no one to play Cuju with him to relieve his boredom. Yanfeng's exquisite playing skills were the most suitable candidate. Hu Zan The prime minister Zhao Pu originally intended to accept Yan Feng, and the governor of Anguo Li Weidong had long wanted to please the prime minister Zhao Pu Jin and offered Yan Feng. They hit it off and Yan Feng became a guest of the prime minister's house. He flattered and flattered to please the prime minister. The boss was very familiar to Yan Feng. There was someone in the court who was really good at being an official. Within a few days, he became the deputy lieutenant of the Prime Minister's Office, from the ninth rank to accompanying the army. Although it was an important position in the Qing Dynasty, he only received a salary (salary) and had no specific duties. , but the important duties of the Prime Minister's Mansion are unclear. As big as the master is, there will be as many slaves as possible. From then on, Yan Feng met in the Prime Minister's Mansion, coming in and out like family members. Since ancient times:"The sun is far away, the sun is far away, and the sun is close and the sun is close.". The relationship between Yan Feng and the eldest princess Zhao Yuanchun is getting closer and closer, and it is almost time to talk about marriage. However, it is impossible for Yan Feng, a low-ranking official from the ninth rank, to marry the daughter of the prime minister who is the most powerful person in the dynasty. To make the impossible possible, you need the packaging of high-quality official robes. Falling in love will lower a woman's IQ index. Zhao Yuanchun is not only beautiful in appearance but also intelligent. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows all four books and five classics. However, her correct judgment will be greatly reduced when she is immersed in passionate love. She is in love with everyone, and the ability of her lover Yanfeng is in her eyes. gradually enlarges. As a princess, she only needed to give a hint to Hu Zan, the official of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Hu Zan understood. Yanfeng's promotion was a matter of course, from being a Peirong Colonel under the ninth rank to a Renyong Colonel above the ninth rank. , although the rank has been promoted by three levels, the rank officer has been promoted by six levels. Although he is still a military official without a job, he can have a job and be dispatched.

The"dispatch" of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty should not be underestimated."Official" only means that he can receive a salary, but has no actual power;"dispatch" refers to the actual position held by the official. The Zhengshitang sent Dongfu Renyong Colonel Yanfeng to patrol the counties on the West Road of Hebei. Originally, such an important mission was at least an important member of the court of the sixth grade or above, but it was not a problem to have Hu Zan, the post-official of the Xiangfu Hall, to operate. Zhao Yuanchun, the princess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was very panicked when she found out. Yan Feng's dispatch was illegal, so he asked Hu Zanshou to go to the Zhengshi Hall to take back the order. However, the approval document signed by the Zhengshi Hall involved many officials in the Zhengshi Hall. If the order was taken back, what would happen if the order was taken back? It is to admit that the malfeasance of officials in the political hall may also affect the prime minister. After the two discussed, they had no choice but not to do so again.

Before Yan Feng left, the princess Zhao Yuanchun gave many instructions: Do not make any publicity, do not linger, be cautious, make quick decisions, and come back safely as soon as possible. Yan Feng was well aware of the stakes involved, and he went on a very low-key tour with only four followers. At first, he traveled across the country and did not dare to stay, but within a few days he lost control. The local prefecture and county officials regarded Yan Feng, the"patrol envoy" dispatched by the Prime Minister of the Government Hall, as an honored guest. They rushed to flatter Yan Feng and donated money to Yan Feng in large and small cars. They were quietly sent to Yan Feng's residence in the capital, and Yan Feng enjoyed it. To the scenery that has never been seen before. After Yanfeng patrolled the counties on Hebei West Road, he passed by Yulong County on his way back to the capital, and met Yanyun's team to marry Shang Feiyan.

Shang Feiyan heard Yan Feng's melodious flute sound, jumped off the sedan chair and ran desperately towards Yan Feng, and ran to Yan Feng's horse. Yan Feng pulled her onto the horse's back and held her in his arms.

Yuanda ran out of the wedding team and angrily snatched the cymbal from the trumpeter. He ran to Yan Feng's horse and cursed:"Yan Feng is a despicable and despicable thief! Your sister-in-law dares to rob her, but I have to fight the eighth master." Come on!" He raised his cymbal and hit Yan Feng.

The man behind Yan Feng hurriedly stopped his horse and pulled out his sword, shouting angrily:"You ignorant village barbarian, you want to rebel! How dare you act wild in front of the patrolling master of Dongfu (Prime Minister's Government Hall), if you don't go away, I will betray you." The crime of assassinating the superior!"

Yuanda's colleagues in Yulong County kindly stopped Yuanda, carefully apologized to the man, and shouted at the wedding team to get out of the way. Yan Feng held Shang Feiyan in his arms and sat on a horse, surrounded by the gentlemen, and headed south, passing by Yan Yun as if he were a stranger.

The people who were welcoming the bride, seeing her off, and onlookers were all talking about it. Yan Yun sat on the horse as motionless as a clay sculpture. Everything in front of him seemed to freeze. Time suddenly stopped, and the noisy voices of the crowd suddenly lost any volume.

Fang Xun asked everyone to disperse. After a while, everyone dispersed, and only Yan Yun, Fang Xun, and Yuanda were left on the roadside.

Yan Yun was still sitting stiffly on the horse's back, his face expressionless, his eyes blank, as if his heart was as calm as water.

Yuanda advised:"Brother Qi, don't be angry! It's better for Yan Feng to be struck by lightning later than for the beast, Shang Fei is not a good bird, and a beetle inserting chicken feathers is not a good bird and will not end well!"

Yan Yun remained indifferent.

Seeing that it had no effect, Yuanda continued to scold:"Shang Feiyan is wearing a human skin in vain. Who the hell did her father and mother give birth to such a slutty piece of shit! Brother Qi, is it worth it to be angry for such a changfu? Is it worth it? Is it worth it? If you can punt a boat, it doesn’t matter. It’s gone in the blink of an eye. A real man doesn’t have to worry about not having a wife. With Brother Qi’s character, talent, and martial arts, you can choose any good girl in the world." Nagging, Talking endlessly.

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother, stop talking. I think your seventh brother is not annoying enough."

Yuanda said:"Brother, aren't I trying to persuade seventh brother? Do you think Yan Feng and Shang Feiyan are things? Are they things?! Is it worth it for Seventh Brother to be angry about those two bastards? Is it worth it? There are many good girls in the world, waiting for Seventh Brother to choose, and I’m getting impatient."

Fang Xun said angrily:"Okay, I’m not done yet!""

Yuan Da didn't dare to say anything when his elder brother was angry. Fang Xun pulled Yuan Da forward slowly, stopped after a hundred steps, and looked at Yan Yun who was sitting stiffly on the horse from a distance.

An hour passed, and Yan Yun still remained motionless.

Yuanda said:"Brother, is Seventh Brother so angry? Think about it, can he not be angry? After picking up a bride, the new wife ran away with someone halfway, and the person who abducted the daughter-in-law was his brother; The news of Brother Seven's marrying a wife was so big and grand that almost every woman and child in Yulong County knew about it. In the end, it ended up like this. Where could he put his face? How many debts he had to bear in order to marry that woman, Shang Feiyan. The county seat ordered it The money for the banquet has not been paid yet, and no one is eating today, how can we settle the bill! Oh, I have a headache." Seeing Fang Xun's silence, he continued,"It will shorten your life, it will shorten your life! This blow will definitely shorten Brother Qi's life by ten years. Seventh Brother also chose someone who looked like a fairy. If he found someone who looked ordinary,You can’t-"

Fang Xun said:"Eighth brother, are you tired?

Yuanda said:"I'm not tired, but I'm hungry."

Fang Xun said,"Go buy some wine and meat on the street and divide it into two portions, one for your seventh brother and one for us." Yuanda accepted the promise and left.

When he was young, Yuanda returned with two packages of meat and two jugs of wine.

Fang Xun picked up a package of meat and a jug of wine and walked towards Yan Yun, but Yan Yun still didn't move. Fang Xun hung the wine and meat on the Yan Yun fastened the saddle tightly, remained silent for a moment, turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and shouted:"Yan Yun! That couple of bitches defeated this dignified seven-foot-tall man like you! Do you still remember your ambition? Do you still remember the oaths that the eight Merlin brothers and I swore?"

Fang Xun's words shocked Yan Yun like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Yan Yun's painful thoughts were brought back, and he said:"Rescue the poor and help the people in danger, report to the country, and make peace with the common people."

Yan Yun's mother, Xie, was killed by Yan Feng and Shang Feiyan. He was so angry that he asked the doctor to treat him carefully, and he got better after a month. Shang Feiyan went with Yan Feng for more than ten days, but was abandoned by Yan Feng and returned to Guiyun Village. The condition of Shang Yuanzhong who was seriously ill in bed Shang Feiyan became increasingly angry with Shang Feiyan. Yan Yun would visit Shang Yuanzhong every day after finishing his errands at the Yamen and going home to visit his mother.

One day, Yan Yun walked to Shang Yuanzhong's door and saw Yang Mao sneaking around. Chong was holding a bowl of soup and poking his head around, but it seemed as if he was going in.

Yan Yun asked,"Why is Yang Mao so sneaky? Could it be that he has done something wrong?" Yang

Mao turned pale in panic, and calmed down his soul, saying:"You - don't accuse people of their innocence at will." I was delivering medicine to my uncle, but I was afraid of making him angry, so I didn't dare to go in. If you happen to be here, just deliver it for me."He handed the medicine bowl to Yan Yun and turned around to run. He fell down in panic, got up and smiled awkwardly at Yan Yun, turned around and walked away quickly.

Yang Mao's idleness often made Shang Yuanzhong angry, and Yan Yun didn't care when he saw him panicking. Weird.

Yan Yun entered the room with a bowl of medicine. Shang Yuanzhong's face was blue and black, and his hearing and vision were dull. Sitting next to him, Shang Feiyan saw Yan Yun's sullen face. Yan Yun approached Shang Yuanzhong and said,"Uncle Shang, take medicine." , it will be cold if it is too late. Shang

Yuanzhong opened his eyes slightly and said,"Put it there. The medicine doctor can't cure the disease, so why should I suffer this?"

Yan Yun heard the sadness and comforted him:"Uncle, why did you say this!" As long as good medicine is taken care of, it will be cured. Shang

Feiyan stood up to leave but was stopped by her father Shang Yuanzhong, saying:"When will you be able to save your father's worries?" Sit down, I have something to say."

Shang Feiyan sat next to her father.

Shang Yuanzhong said:"Alas! Yan'er, why are you so obsessed with things? Then what Yan Feng did was a current thing made by people. Why are you and Yan Yun using corn noodles to make Yuan Xiao - it's hard to knead it together!

Shang Feiyan changed his words and said:"Dad, take medicine!"

Shang Yuanzhong said,"Listen to me."

Shang Feiyan said,"After taking the medicine, it won't be too late to listen to you.""He helped Shang Yuanzhong sit up.

Yan Yun picked up the medicine bowl and fed Shang Yuanzhong the medicine. Shang Yuanzhong swallowed with difficulty. After drinking the medicine, for a long time, the pain was unbearable, his facial features were deformed, and he vomited several mouthfuls of dirty blood.

Yan Yun turned pale in shock and said:"Quick, please call the doctor."

Shang Feiyan was about to leave.

Shang Yuanzhong looked at Yan Yun, tried his best, and said:"Slow down, slow down, Yun -'er - take care of - Yan'er, please. Yan'er - Yan -" handed Wu Tianzhen's gift of Tian Huangshi to Shang Feiyan.

Yan Yun looked at Shang Yuanzhong's pleading eyes and replied with difficulty:"Uncle! I - I will take good care of - take good care of - Feiyan."

Shang Yuanzhong showed a trace of relief on his painful face, and then he died.

Shang Feiyan cried bitterly.

Suddenly, Yang Mao and seven or eight servants came in with ropes and sticks and quickly tied up Yan Yun tightly. Yan Yun was so grief-stricken that he could not react. Yang Mao scolded:"Yan Yun is a beast! You poisoned my uncle to death, and you still cry like a cat and a mouse, and you and I are at odds with each other! Pull him out and beat him to death with sticks." The servant dragged Yan Yun out.

Yang Mao hurriedly looked through Shang Yuanzhong's body to find something, and asked:"Feiyan, Feiyan! Where is Tian Huangshi?"

Shang Feiyan cried, shaking the Tian Huangshi in his hand to signal.
