The dream of a lonely hero

Hong Jun humiliated Zhao Guangyi to vent Fan Yong's anger. Unexpectedly, Fan Yong's face was as gloomy as water. Hong Jun nodded and bowed, smiling and said: "Brother-in-law is still not satisfied, I will torment him without any effort, there is a long time, brother-in-law, just wait and see!"

Fan Yong waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, okay!"

Seeing that he was unhappy, Hong Jun said carefully: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! I will listen to you."

Fan Yong said: "You are in charge of the border, how much money did you bribe the Liao State so that the Liao State slaves will no longer harass the border."

Hong Jun said in horror: "Ah! Ah! No-no-" Look at him waiting for him "Ah! Brother-in-law! I am helpless to protect the people at the border! Brother-in-law, you think I only have a few soldiers in Dingzhou, and I am weak! Liao The poor slaves at the border of the state are satisfied with a few coins and two bites of food. Is this also turning hostility into friendship? The civil and military officials at the border of our Song Dynasty are all like this. "

Fan Yong said angrily: "Shut up! Do you know what crime this is?"

Hong Yun fell to his knees and said: "Disgrace - Disgrace and beheading. But I have you, my brother-in-law, as a big tree to protect me. Who dares to touch me?"

Fan Yong said: "Haha! Don't think you are showing off your power by building a government. As long as the court sneezes, you can be sent to the underworld."

Hong Yun cried bitterly and kowtowed like pounding garlic, saying: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me, brother-in-law, save me!"

A moment. Fan Yong paced a few steps and said, "Don't be afraid, just listen to me and I will keep you safe, but you must keep it secret. If you reveal it, even God can't save you."

Hong Yun crawled to his feet, hugged his legs, and said, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! I will listen to you in everything. I will never frown if you tell me to eat shit."

Fan Yong brought "Poisonous Jade Snake" Yan Feng and "Sick Cunxiao" Fan Tenghu to Dingzhou five days earlier than Zhao Guangyi and others. Hong Yun followed his instructions and placed Fan Yong, Yan Feng, and Fan Tenghu in a secluded and secret place in the mansion, without showing off.

Fan Yong said, "I'll tell you when I've made plans."

Hong Yun said, "I'll be waiting for your orders at any time!" He carefully sent him back to his residence, and then went to Yan Feng's residence to meet him, trying to get close to him and build a relationship. He said with a smile, "It's a great honor for Yan Shangcha to visit my humble home. It's really the kindness of my Hong family's ancestors! The food and accommodation are all right, right? If not, just let me know. I don't have any other skills, but I have the ability to serve Yan Shangcha well!"

Yan Feng looked at him with disdain and said nothing.

Hong Yun said, "Yes, yes! No matter how good this place is, it can't be better than Tokyo Bianliang City, but as long as Shangcha wants it, it's like the moon in the sky. I will also move the ladder down to honor Shangcha." He took out a fist-sized purple jade toad from his arms and presented it with both hands, "I sincerely hope that Shangcha will accept it!"

Yan Feng looked at it casually, took it and put it on the table casually, and sat down to sip tea.

Hong Yun said: "The boss looks familiar."

Yan Feng said: "Oh!"

Hong Yun shook his head and said: "No, no."

Yan Feng said: "You can tell me."

Hong Yun said: "Zhao Guangyi went to fight against TianDuring the Langshan Golden Spear Meeting, Zhao Guangyi's bodyguard Yan Yun ordered his servant to build a tomb for his father. The servant looked exactly like you. Then I thought, how can that poor servant compare with the rich and powerful you! It's all because of my poor eyesight. Zhao Guangyi is the enemy of Prince Fu, the enemy of my brother-in-law, the enemy of you, Yan Yun, and my enemy. I will never be merciful to his lackey Yan Yun. Tomorrow - no, now I will order my men to flatten the tomb of Yan Yun's father. "

Yan Feng smiled faintly and said, "The servant of Yan Yun you are talking about is me, but I am not Yan Yun's servant, I am Yan Yun's fellow villager."

Hong Yun was horrified and said, "Ah! I am really blind. I didn't even recognize you!" He raised his hand and kept hitting his face, "I hope you will not remember my mistakes!"

Yan Feng said, "Forget it! ”

Hong Yun said: "The less you blame me, the more uncomfortable I feel." He continued to beat his own Lian. "This way I feel more at ease."

Yan Feng said coldly: "That's enough! If you level the grave of Yan Yun's father, I will cut off your head, remember!"

Hong Yun stopped beating, was stunned for a while, and said: "Yes, yes! I obey your order! Then do you still visit his father's grave every year?"

Yan Feng was depressed and said after a while: "Go. Don't make it ostentatious, be more secretive."

Hong Yun thought about it and said: "The reason for going to the post is that I am afraid that Zhao Guangyi will make a comeback and Yan Yun will rise again. Leave a way out for yourself."

Yan Feng said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, remember! ”

Hong Jun promised repeatedly.

It is said that Zhao Guangyi was humiliated by Hong Jun in the state government office and was so angry that he was about to break his heart. He forced himself to leave the government office and turned a street. After a few trembling steps, he felt his throat was hot and blood spurted out and fainted on the ground. He didn't know how long he lay there. He was found by Yan Yun, Yuan Da, Gao Qiong and Wang Zhao who came to look for him and carried into the post station. Zhao Guangyi's personal follower Wang Yande hurriedly summoned the "good doctor Yu Liu" Ma Shouzhi who was secretly protecting him to treat Zhao Guangyi. After Ma Shouzhi's massage, Zhao Guangyi slowly woke up. Zhao Guangyi's face was pale and he opened his eyes. Seeing Feng Zan, Ma Shouzhi, Yan Yun, Gao Qiong, Wang Zhao and others surrounding him, he said angrily: "Alas! Hong Jun was born in a filthy family. I will definitely cut you into pieces! ”

Wang Zhao said: "My lord, wait a moment. I will take the head of that filthy dog ​​to appease you!" He stood up to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Guangyi. He ordered his men to retreat and only left Feng Zan. Zhao Guangyi sighed: "Alas! A dragon on the beach is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in the plain is bullied by dogs. Hong Yun is too filthy to bully people!"

Feng Zan said in a steady tone: "A tiger lies in the mountains and listens to the wind, and a dragon lies in the shallows and waits for the tide. Hong Yun is a pig and a dog, and my lord is a dragon and a tiger. How can he make you angry?"

Zhao Guangyi thought for a moment and felt a little relieved. He said: "What you said is very true, but that beast-"

Feng Zan said: "My lord has a lot of things to do, so leave your anger to fools. ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly.

Feng Zan said: “As far as I know, Dingzhou used to be the sphere of influence of the Tianlang Mountain Golden Spear Society. The lord conquered the Tianlang Mountain.The mountain has not been completely wiped out, the bandit leader Wu Tianzhen and the remnants of the Golden Spear Society are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, my lord must be worried. ”

Zhao Guangyi slapped his forehead and said, “Oh! Sir, you are right! The bandit leader Wu Tianzhen regards me as an mortal enemy, so how can he not come to seek revenge. "Then he ordered the "Iron Palm Zen Zeng" Mingran, the "Zhanwen Taoist" Liaoran, the "Golden Hair Kunpeng" Li Chong, the "Piercing Clouds" Yang Jiong, the "Iron Crutch Buddhist" Daguo Shangren, the "Good Doctor Yuliu" Ma Shouzhi, the "Golden Sword Yuliu" Lv Shouwei, the "Five Ghosts of Youyun", the "Death Ghost" Cui Yinpeng, the "Soul-Catching Ghost" Gou Yinfang, the "Green-Faced Ghost" Qingyinsha, the "Impermanence Ghost" Wu Yinzhong, the "White-Faced Ghost" (One-Armed Ghost) Bai Yinluo, who were secretly protecting them, to pursue Wu Tianzhen and the remnants of the Golden Spear Society to relieve their worries.

The next day, Zhao Guangyi cheered up and brought 500 taels of gold to the state government to meet with Dingzhou Governor Hong Yun. Hong Yun was originally a greedy person who saw the money and was blinded by it. He smiled and said, "Zhao Guangyi, you are a nobleman who suffered this ordeal. This state sympathizes with you! This state dreams of you returning to the court and taking power again, but how can the emperor stop the officials from talking if you have not made any achievements? Dingzhou is located in the frontier, and you are both civil and military, so there is no need to worry about not being able to make achievements. Then it will be a natural thing for you to return to the court. "

At first, Zhao Guangyi did not listen to his words, but just pretended to be happy. When he mentioned "making achievements and returning to the court", he couldn't help but brighten up and said: "The governor's words are like a revelation to the lower officials, which makes the lower officials suddenly enlightened. Please give me some advice. ”

Hong Yun was secretly proud, thinking, I hope you can find the way out of this maze and go to heaven sooner! Your brother-in-law Fan Yong really got your pulse right, this time you will die; he said seriously: "This state appoints you as a border patrol envoy to lead 50 local soldiers to patrol Beicheng County, which is less than a hundred miles away from Liao State. It will be easy for you to capture a few Liao State slaves and kill a few small foreigners. This state wrote a letter to exaggerate and praise you, which is an unprecedented achievement. You can just wait for a meteoric rise! Don't forget it when the time comes--" He was afraid to say anything because he had a guilty conscience. He thought, when you go to hell, you must forget yourself!

Zhao Guangyi thought that Hong Yun, a street rogue, had no support in the court. If he pushed himself up, he would be his supporter in the future. His idea was valid. While he was thinking, Hong Yun stood up and bowed, saying: "Your Excellency, please accept my respect. You will have to rely on your power in the future!" He said with cold sweat on his head.

Zhao Guangyi stood up and returned the greeting, saying: "I am honored by the governor. If I can get what I want one day, I will repay your kindness!"

Hong Yun smiled and said: "Okay! Tomorrow, I will take the order of my state to Dingzhou Bingma Dujiansi to ask for fifty soldiers to patrol the north city. ”

Zhao Guangyi bid farewell to Hong Yun and returned to the post station to discuss with Feng Zan. After he told Hong Yun what he meant and his own inference, Feng Zan frowned and walked slowly with a paper folding fan in his hand. Feng Zan thought: How could it be so easy? The Liao State Zhennan Grand Marshal Yelu Wurong was forced to retreat from the "Zhanlu Mountain" southeast of Danzhou City by the King of Fu (he was frightened away by Yan Yun who stole the door curtain, pillow, and hair). Song and Liao each defended their own territory without war. The border counties and villages of both sides were not heavily guarded. LiaoA small group of hundreds of cavalrymen from the state occasionally invaded and harassed the border. The governor of Dingzhou, Hong Yun, kept bribing the border officers of Liao State, so the border was relatively safe. If the lord ordered his warriors to take the initiative to cross the border of the Song Dynasty and kill the soldiers of the Liao State, the war between Song and Liao would inevitably ignite, and the first to bear the brunt would be Beicheng. The lord's mere fifty local soldiers would not be enough to pad the horseshoes of the Liao cavalry. If the lord did not take the initiative to attack, after a long time, the Liao State Zhennan Marshal Yelu Wurong, who was stationed in Youzhou, would definitely know that the defender of Beicheng was the Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty. How could he not lead troops to capture and kill him? Beicheng and the lord were in danger. The lord was a subordinate of the governor Hong Yun, so how could he disobey orders? It was not easy to tell him directly that there were dangers everywhere.

Zhao Guangyi said: "What do you think, sir?"

Feng Zan said calmly: "My lord, your idea is very good."
