The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 15 Bianhe Street Zixiao Rescues Defang of Nanqing Palace and Acknowledges His Brother ([-])

On this day, the weather was extremely cold, and the entire Bianliang City was covered in heavy snow overnight, and the sky and the earth were covered in white.In the early morning, Bianhe Street woke up with the shouts of the first vendors. People seemed not to be affected by the weather at all, and they walked out of their homes one after another. The long street was still crowded with people.

Murong Yunyao played for several days in a row, but she still didn't enjoy herself to the fullest.Seeing the heavy snow outside the window early in the morning was even more exciting, and hurriedly knocked on Yun Zixiao's door, "Brother Yun, get up quickly! It's snowing outside, come out and play together!"

After a long time, Yun Zixiao slowly opened the door and asked, "Sister, we have visited Bianhe Street yesterday, what else do you want to play today?"

Murong Yunyao bent down to pick up a ball of snow, and said with a smile: "We'll just play with this!" She said, raising the snow in her hand to Yun Zixiao.At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, blowing Yun Zixiao's sleeves, and blowing away the white snow in her hands. The crystal white snow floated in front of the white clothes, and flew into the distance one after another.This scene was deeply reflected in Murong Yunyao's mind for a long, long time...

Yun Zixiao looked at Murong Yunyao, smiled and said, "Sister, what's the fun in this, I'll show you to have fun." He turned around and borrowed two shovels from the clerk at the inn, and pulled Murong Yunyao straight out of the inn, Go to the crowded Bianhe Street.

Murong Yunyao quickly followed and ran out, and said with a charming smile: "Brother Yun, what are you going to take me to play with! If it's not fun, see if I don't bury you in the snow for a while!"

Yun Zixiao didn't answer, but he stopped and started shoveling snow with the shovel in his hand.Murong Yunyao was very disappointed, pulled Yun Zixiao's sleeves, and said, "Forget it, brother Yun, what's so fun about shoveling snow!"

Yun Zixiao pretended to be mysterious and smiled, "This is just the first step, you will know in a while, come and help shovel the snow."

Not long after, the two had shoveled all the snow on the ground to the corner of the wall, at least to say that the pile was more than one foot high, looking like a hill from a distance.Yun Zixiao kept patting the snow with the shovel until the snow was solidified, and then stopped.

At this moment, the front of the inn was full of people, even the shop assistants came over to watch the fun.One of the clerks smiled and said: "You two guests, not only do you give more money for staying in the store, but you even help the store shovel the snow. This snow shoveling job is usually done by small ones. I don't know how to thank you two for the small ones." !"

Murong Yunyao blushed when she heard the words, she tugged at the corner of Yun Zixiao's clothes, and whispered, "Brother Yun, what are you doing? Let's go shopping elsewhere!"

Yun Zixiao didn't seem to hear what they said at all, he just said indifferently: "Shopkeeper, can you give me a tank of water."

Several guys looked at each other, and then quickly stepped into the inn to carry water according to the words, and they quickly brought a large tank of clean water.Yun Zixiao stretched out his right hand to support the bottom of the tank, and turned the huge water tank several times in his hand, seemingly effortlessly.Then he tilted the mouth of the tank slightly downward, and the clear water in the tank poured evenly on the piled up snow.

The weather has been cold recently, coupled with the constant whistling of the north wind, the snow that had piled up like a mountain just now turned into a crystal clear iceberg in an instant.Seeing this, everyone became more and more curious, and they all stared at Yun Zixiao with wide eyes, wanting to see what kind of medicine this young man who looked like a fairy was selling in the gourd.

The crowd that was still tight just now dispersed suddenly.Just because a yellow Luo sedan chair appeared at the intersection in the distance, the sedan chair walked unhurriedly, without making the slightest sound.But when the people on the street saw the sedan chair, they gave a thunderous applause and rushed over.

"My lord, there are good crickets here, please pay attention!"

"Chitose, Caomin has a new trick today, you must enjoy it!"

"Your Highness, Xiaosheng has been good at Danqing since he was a child, and I hope to get your appreciation!"

Everyone said something to each other, and the originally clean Bianhe Street suddenly became full of people.The sedan chair did not intend to stop at all, but moved forward slowly, as if the people in the sedan chair had no interest in what these people said.

They had been looking forward to the arrival of the Eight Kings for a long time, so they naturally refused to let the sedan chair go easily, and stopped in front of the sedan chair without caring about the etiquette.Seeing this, the bearer in front was at a loss, turned his head and asked, "Chitose, these people are blocking the sedan chair and refuse to leave, what should we do?"

When Murong Yunyao saw that everyone was rushing towards the sedan chair, she also looked at the sedan chair curiously.The person in the sedan chair slightly opened the curtain, revealing a fair and handsome face.The morning sun shone obliquely on his face, making him even more noble. Looking at the world, apart from Zhao Defang who is [-] years old, how can there be such a person?
Zhao Defang looked at the people in front of him, and let out a sigh, "I don't want to wait for the good Nanqing Palace, I ran to Bianhe Street early in the morning to have fun with the people, but are you going to use these to fool me?" He said Looking at the bearer, he said sullenly, "Get off the sedan chair."

The bearers got off the sedan chair immediately upon hearing the words, and Zhao Defang lazily walked out of the sedan chair, holding a heavy money bag in his hand.He opened the purse casually, and there was a dazzling light inside, and there were a dozen or so golden ingots.Seeing this, everyone shouted desperately.

Zhao Defang gasped, and said impatiently: "Don't get in my way! I'm tired of looking at these things, so get something new!" He said, picked up an ingot of gold, and walked towards the crowd. Throwing it casually, it seems that what was thrown was not an ingot of gold but a copper plate.

Seeing this, everyone screamed, tearing and wrestling together, like a group of chickens robbing rice.Zhao Defang looked at the scene in front of him, laughed loudly, and threw a few gold ingots into the crowd, and then opened a way for himself.Then he shook his head helplessly, it seemed that none of today's things caught his fancy.

Zhao Defang stopped suddenly, and stopped in front of the inn not far away.His gaze also stopped, and stopped on the young man in white clothes Shengxue in front of the inn.I saw that the young man in white was not moved by the money at all, but silently pulled out the sword from his waist. With a dragon chant, the light of the sword eclipsed the white snow all over the city.

The sword in the young man's hand swirled, and he actually slashed at the iceberg in front of him. His movements were as graceful as a dance, and as chic as a brush.The sword danced with the young man, sometimes like swift lightning, sometimes like a misty breeze, and sometimes like a flying blizzard.Every time he swung the sword in his hand, the iceberg in front of him was polished. The originally irregular iceberg was carved out of outline in an instant.

The sword stopped, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the young man in white. The iceberg in front of him had been carved into a lifelike crane by him.Zhao Defang was stunned by this scene, not only couldn't say a word, but even wanted to applaud her hands and didn't listen to her.

The people who had just dispersed gathered around again at this moment.Qi Qi looked at the young man in white, staring at the spectacle before him in disbelief.The young man in white just brushed off the snow on his body, ignored everyone's astonished eyes, and returned to the inn alone.Murong Yunyao was also stunned by his miraculous swordsmanship, she stood there for a while before recovering, and quickly chased after him.

Zhao Defang was about to follow up the inn, but was stopped by three people from the rivers and lakes who suddenly appeared in the crowd.It was Wang Xiaobo and the three of them.I saw Wang Xiaobo holding a gleaming ghost-headed broadsword in his hand, and he couldn't help but slash at Zhao Defang's head.Seeing the situation, Zhao Defang hurriedly backed up, but she tripped over the chair pole and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing that the sword in Wang Xiaobo's hand was only half an inch away from the top of Zhao Defang's head, suddenly a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and it easily stopped the powerful move of the sword.Zhao Defang and Wang Xiaobo looked at Jianguang in disbelief at the same time, and saw that the person who saw the sword was the young man in white just now, and a girl in purple was following behind him.

Wang Xiaobo sneered and said: "Scholar with white face, mind your own business, and be careful that I will chop off your head with one knife!" He turned the knife head and pointed at the left rib of the young man in white.The young man in white smiled slightly, his body floated back two or three feet, and at the same time, the sword slashed towards the blade.

"Dang!" Liu Yunjian slashed on the knife, as if on tofu, without any effort, and the knife head fell heavily on the ground.Seeing that Wang Xiaobo suffered so quickly, Li Shun and the girl in red hurriedly shouted: "The wind is tight, shit!"

Wang Xiaobo ran away when he heard the words, Li Shun and the girl in red followed closely behind, like three frightened rabbits.Seeing this, how could the girl in purple be willing to let go, she was bullied into two or three feet with a touch of her toe.Wang Xiaobo was shocked when he saw this, and while running forward, he turned around and threw the remaining blade at the girl in purple.

The girl in purple swayed slightly to the side, and easily dodged the flying sword.She was about to continue chasing and arresting all three of them, but Zhao Defang suddenly shouted: "Women, don't chase after poor ones! This king has something to tell you!"

The young man in white also said: "Sister, come back quickly, be careful of tricks!"

The girl in purple came back reluctantly, "Brother Yun, I've been suffocated to death these days, and finally met a few thieves, why don't you let me catch them!"

Zhao Defang said with a smile: "Woman, this is Bianliang, Tokyo. It's not a remote place, so these three thieves can't escape! This king sees two people who are absolutely extraordinary, can you tell us their names?"

The young man in white turned around and was about to answer, but Zhao Defang was stunned and said in surprise: "Zhao Qing's family! Didn't the official family send you to Luoyang after they ascended the throne? Why did you suddenly return to Beijing today? ?”

"Zhao Qing's family?" The young man in white was startled when he heard the words, and then respectfully bowed deeply to Zhao Defang, and replied: "Qiantui must have misunderstood the person, my surname is not Zhao but Yun."

Zhao Defang looked at the white-clothed boy up and down for a long time, and then said in surprise: "It's so similar, it's so similar! It's really amazing that there are such similar people in the world! But if you look closely, you are more serious and important than Zeping What's more, you are younger than him!"

The purple-clothed girl hurriedly asked: "Qiantui, the Zeping you're talking about is the founding father Zhao Pu Zhao, right?"

Zhao Defang nodded, "That's right, it's him. I haven't seen him for many years, but I still remember his appearance very clearly." After he finished speaking, he said with a smile: "The two of you have saved my life. Well, this king would like to invite the two of you to sit in the mansion, I wonder what you would like?"

Before the white-clothed boy could answer, the purple-clothed girl nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay! Brother Yun, since the prince sincerely invites us, let's go to his mansion to have fun together!"

Zhao Defang also said: "Young man, you saved my king's life, if I don't host a banquet, then don't tell others that I am heartless and ungrateful!"

The white-clothed boy reluctantly said after a long while: "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. I will follow the prince to the mansion to have a talk."

Zhao Defang dismissed the bearers and attendants, and walked with them to Junyi Street.The street is very deserted, in stark contrast to the bustling Bianhe Street.Both sides of the street are extremely luxurious mansions, if they hadn't seen cooking smoke rising from the roofs of several courtyards, Yun Zixiao and Murong Yunyao would have mistakenly thought it was an empty street with no one in it.

Zhao Defang took the two of them along this street and walked northward. After walking for an unknown period of time, they came to two magnificent palaces. Compared with them, the deep houses and courtyards along the way seemed like candlelight compared to the sun, and lost their brilliance in an instant. .The two palaces are similar in shape and occupy a very large area. It seems that each palace occupies half of Bianliang City.The difference is that one is solemn and the other is luxurious.

Murong Yunyao asked curiously: "Qiantui, who is the mansion of these two palaces? You must not be an ordinary person to live in such a place, right?" Yun Zixiao was also slightly puzzled, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Defang , waiting for his next step.

Zhao Defang pointed to the more majestic palace, and said: "This is not the mansion of any lord, but the palace of the Holy Majesty today." Then he pointed to the more luxurious palace opposite, and said with a smile: "This is This king's Nanqing Palace!"

Yun Zixiao nodded slightly when he heard the words, but Murong Yunyao looked around excitedly at this moment, and said enviously: "Oh, I think I, Murong Yunyao, was also born in a wealthy family, and my Murong family can only be counted within tens of miles. The mansion is the largest, and it was a beautiful place back then! But compared with this place, it can only be a courtyard of an ordinary family. It is said that there is nothing richer than the emperor's house, and it seems to be true. If I could live in such a place How nice it would be!"

Zhao Defang said generously: "Miss Murong, although this king and you met for the first time, we hit it off very well. Since the girl likes this place, Nanqing Palace will be your home from now on, and you can live as long as you want! If someone in Beijing dares to bully the girl , you tell this king, this king will definitely decide for you!"

Murong Yunyao nodded happily, and said: "That's great! I have a new family from now on, and there is also a prince who will help me in my family. I really wish for it!"

Yun Zixiao's complexion was a bit complicated, but he became calm again in an instant, and said indifferently: "Qiantui, I'm a little thirsty, and I hope Qiantui can drink saliva."

Zhao Defang turned to look at Yun Zixiao when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Haha, I was so busy talking to Miss Murong that I forgot to bring the two of you into the palace, so let me follow you."
