The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Yun said sternly:"Princess, I am determined to obtain fame and official position by relying on my own ability. If I rely on the relationship of the Princess, how is I any different from a villain who works hard to compete?"

Zhao Yuanchun admired Yan Yun's strictness and uprightness even more. Character, he said:"A strong man is a noble man, he is knowledgeable and talented, but I worry too much!"

Through continuous in-depth communication with Yan Yun, Zhao Yuanchun has regarded him as a like-minded friend. She can't help but develop her emotions in depth. I know how to express my love, but I just want this time to pass slower, slower, slower, and then I can express it to him perfectly when I am ready.

Yan Yun couldn't help but regard Zhao Yuanchun as his confidant, but the reality made him face up to the identities of both parties, and he couldn't help but said:"Princess, it's great that the princess is a man, a young master!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Why do you say this?"

Yan Yun said:"Ah ——Ah, if you were a man, you would still have the courage to go back to Tokyo after completing this errand——go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to see you and become your disciple."

Zhao Yuanchun was excited and thought: He can’t bear to leave me either, so why not? No, but as a girl, how could she say it out loud and said:"If you were a woman, you could talk all night long when you return to the capital. No - it's okay not to."

Yan Yun said:"No, it's not good. If it weren't for the situation. Forced, how can you and I, an orphan and a widowed man, have such a deep conversation?"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Is this wilderness good?"

Yan Yun said:"Is it okay to be cold and cold?"

Zhao Yuanchun asked:"Is it okay?"

Yan Yun said:"It would be bad without your knowledge of ancient and modern times."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Back in the capital——"

Yan Yun said:"After returning,——"

The answer is self-evident to both parties. It is the end of the world that separates yin and yang. Endless sadness surged into their hearts. Silence, silence that no one can break.

Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun both cherish every moment and every minute of this moment. Zhao Yuanchun complained in his heart: Yan Yun is an idiot. As a man, he doesn't say anything, so he can say whatever he wants. It's not that she doesn't know Yan Yun's concerns. One is the daughter of the prime minister's house, and the other is a servant of Nanya. Even if he has the intention, he doesn't have the courage.

Zhao Yuanchun thought for a long time and said:"Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty once said when he was a farmer, 'To be an official, you should be like Zhi Jinwu, and to marry Yin Lihua.' The two mandarin ducks gather together. My father is now a very popular minister, but he was just a poor scholar at the beginning, not as good as you are now. My mother, Wei, was born in a wealthy family in Henan Prefecture, Xijing. She was not in the right family. They fell in love and broke through the shackles of ethics and finally got married. There are many people in the world. Things that seem impossible to achieve, as long as you kill tigers and snakes, have you ever thought about fear, fear can destroy a warrior like King Kong."

Although Yan Yun is not familiar with human affairs, he understands her implication. She was knowledgeable, dignified and elegant, with both talent and beauty, which made him awe-inspiring. His respect and love for her was pure and flawless, without the slightest thought of wrongdoing. Her implication made him feel at a loss and he clutched his clothes tightly.

It was so quiet that you could almost hear the other person's heartbeat.

He admired her even more and couldn't avoid"her overtones". It would be a blessing to be married to her for eternity, but the disparity in status between the two sides could not be resolved with a few words.. He knew that she was as calm as water on the outside but was eagerly waiting for his answer on the inside. If he asked her to wait for too long, it would be blasphemy to her. How should he answer? In front of her, he could no longer show the ease with which he talked about the past and the present. He hesitated and said:"Fame - before you have achieved fame, why - why do you call home?"

Of course Zhao Yuanchun understood what he meant: she wanted to express her feelings openly after she became famous. ; Suddenly I thought, it’s not because I’m being sentimental, right? Is he avoidance or rejection in disguise? He stood up and walked around, thinking:"Fame is not home, having people is home." Looking at him who was reserved and silent, I accidentally noticed the beads on his wrist and thought: They look so familiar. Why was he so careless? When I saw him, he kept wearing it on his wrist, as if his sister was complaining about it. He said,"Yan Yun, can you look at your beads?"

Yan Yunzheng didn't know how to answer, so he took off his hand. The beads were handed to her.

Zhao Yuanchun's heart was pounding. He turned around and looked carefully. The beads were made of peach wood, and each peach wood bead was engraved with the word"velvet". She knew that Zhao Yuanrong had left it to her by her mother, and her fiery heart slowly cooled down; she thought: Yuanrong could give Yan Yun the only relic left by her mother to her, and stood silent.

Yan Yun said:"Princess, take a rest for a while. You have to rush on your way at dawn."

Zhao Yuanchun was very preoccupied, as if everything at the moment had frozen.

Yan Yun thought she hadn't heard, and said:"Princess! Princess!"

Zhao Yuanchun tried his best to dispel the depression in his heart, turned around, tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and said:"This hand bead is good - good, it is made of peach wood, it can ward off evil spirits. , cherish it!" Return the bead to him.

Yan Yun took the hand bead and stood frozen, deducing that she knew the original owner of the hand bead and was in great embarrassment.

The sky was pitch black for an instant, and then the night gradually receded, and mist rose everywhere. Yan Yun packed up his belongings, handed his coat to Zhao Yuanchun, and said,"The weather is cold, please put it on Princess and go on the road."

Zhao Yuanchun took the coat and put it on his arm, followed Yan Yun, looking back at the cliff from time to time. Beside the stream and the bonfire, the scenes were thrilling and heart-stirring, as if in a dream; the dawn struggled to drive away the darkness, and the fear and excitement could not be left in the valley with the cliffs of Fengchou Stream.

The steep road from Fengchou Stream to Chifenggang Mountain is high and dangerous.", there are ravines and thorns along the way. Yan Yun either held Zhao Yuanchun's hand or carried him on his back, drinking from mountain springs, eating wild fruits, and resting under tired trees. After going through many hardships, he finally reached the point where the red sun was setting in the west, and he looked from afar. He saw a young master standing under the big tree in Chifenggang.

Yan Yun helped Zhao Yuanchun approach. Yan Yun recognized that the young master was dressed as Zhao Yuanrong, the second princess.

Zhao Yuanrong had a haggard face, sunken eye sockets, and His eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, looking straight at them like a sculpture.

Yan Yun said:"Second Princess! The younger one rescued the older princess."

Zhao Yunrong was stunned for a while, then suddenly shouted:"Yan Yun! Why are you back so soon!" Crystal tears burst out of her eyes, and she threw herself into Yan Yun's arms and couldn't help beating his chest. Ever since Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong broke up in Chifenggang, Zhao Yuanchun has been worried and afraid of him all the time. He doesn't think about tea or food, and he can't sleep at night. Looking forward to his early and safe return day and night, I stood at the Red Maple Ridge and stared blankly. Seeing Yan Yun, I felt relieved and extremely excited.

Yan Yun was at a loss and was stunned for a while, then said:"Second Princess! Look at the eldest princess, the little rescuer is back."

Zhao Yuanrong looked at the ragged, sallow-looking woman next to Yan Yun and shouted,"Sister! elder sister!". The Zhao sisters hugged each other and cried.

Zhao Yuanrong, Zhao Yuanchun, and Yan Yun went down from Chifeng Hill and returned to Xiangfeng Inn in Qingluan Village. Zhao Yuanchun changed into girls' clothes. Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun each went back to the guest room to wash up and change clothes, and then Zhao Yuanchun Zhao Yuanchun, Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun had dinner together. After dinner, Yan Yun went back to his guest room to rest.

Zhao Yuanrong and Zhao Yuanchun also returned to their guest room. Zhao Yuanrong saw a clean and semi-wet rag hanging on the chair in the guest room. Although the clothes were so shabby that I couldn’t tell the difference in color, I could still tell that they were worn by Yan Yun and said,"Sister! Yan Yun's clothes are so tattered, and even though you have washed them so cleanly, you can't even give them back to him to wear.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"No matter how tattered it is, it belongs to someone else. How can you not exchange it if you borrow it?""

Zhao Yuanrong said:"My sister is more thoughtful."

Zhao Yuanchun hasn't had a good night's sleep in more than half a month. Today, he was in a comfortable environment and should have had a good sleep, but he just couldn't fall asleep and kept tossing and turning. Zhao Yuanchun was in a happy mood and was too excited to fall asleep. Seeing that Zhao Yuanchun was not sleepy, Said:"Sister! I wanted to ask my sister to tell me how to get down to the cliff at Fengchou Stream, but I felt sorry for my sister who had been working hard for days and couldn't bear to disturb her. Since my sister is not sleepy, tell her about it!"

Zhao Yuanchun couldn't get rid of the troubles in his heart. Seeing that his sister was in high spirits, he recounted the journey from meeting Yan Yun to Chifenggang. Of course, he had to remove some details - his attempted suicide on the cliff top and the confession of his heart by the stream.

Zhao Yuanrong concentrated his attention. Listen, I was amazed when I heard that Yan Yun went up the mountain to kill a tiger and went down the mountain to kill a python and hunted the golden eagle on the cliff. After listening, he said:"I went to the cliff to beat him. I also thought about many difficulties and dangers, but I didn't expect it." It's so dangerous, I never imagined it!"

The next day, early in the morning. Zhao Yuanchun woke up and while his sister was still sleeping, he gently folded Yan Yun's clothes that had been dried on the chair and put them in his own baggage. After a while, Zhao Yuanrong woke up and said,"Sister, why are you up? Gotta be so early! What to do if your body is exhausted after days of hard work!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"We have gone through many hardships and dangers, how can we be exhausted now that we are comfortable? Don't worry!"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"That's good! I'll go see if Yan Yun wakes up."Wearing clothes and going out

Zhao Yuanchun said hurriedly:"No hurry! He has been exhausted these past two days. Tell him to sleep a little longer."

Si Zheng (10:00) Ten. Yan Yun, Zhao Yuanchun, and Zhao Yuanrong left Qingluan Village and headed for Zheyun Mountain. Zhao Yuanrong was still disguised as a man, with brisk steps and high energy, asking endless questions to Yan Yun. Yanyun answered her briefly. Zhao Yuanchun was worried, but he acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't know anything and only said a few words.

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Huailong, you are really a cat. It's okay if you were scratched by the golden eagle. If you were eaten alive by a python, I will never end it with you!"

Yan Yun walked silently with his head buried in his head.

Zhao Yuanrong laughed and said:"Huailong could be so frightened by the python that he didn't say anything!"

Yan Yun said perfunctorily:"Ah, ah."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Sister! Do you think Huailong is scared?" Silly!"

No one answered. Yan Yun looked back and saw that Zhao Yunrong had fallen a hundred steps.

Zhao Yuanchun was tired for days and didn't get a good rest at night. He walked slowly and couldn't keep up with the pace of Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong.

Yan Yunfei ran over, took off the burden from her shoulders, put it on his shoulders, and said,"Princess Princess! I will lead you away." He stretched out his hand. Zhao Yuanchun quickly dodged his hand in good faith and said with a smile:"Thank you Yanyun! No need. This place is not as dangerous as the cliffs of Fengchoujian."

Yanyun and Zhao Yuanchun walked side by side, and soon they caught up with Zhao Yuan who was waiting in front. velvet. Zhao Yunrong felt something stinging his visual membrane and moved forward in silence.

Yan Yun said:"My lord princess! I will hire a sedan for you when you get to the town ahead."

Zhao Yuanchun was exhausted physically and mentally from the past few days, worried and weak. He had been struggling to hold on since he left Qingluan Village.

After hearing this, Zhao Yunrong looked at Yan Yun for a moment and said,"My sister, not just anyone can be courteous!"

Yan Yun was silent and walked with her head buried in her head. Zhao Yunrong deliberately slowed down his pace, and soon he dropped forty or fifty steps. Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanrong didn't notice it for a while.

Zhao Yuanrong said loudly:"Sister! Sister! I can't walk anymore."

Yan Yun said to Zhao Yuanchun:"Princess, please take a rest." He turned back to pick up Zhao Yuanrong.

Yan Yun approached Zhao Yuanrong.

Zhao Yunrong said angrily:"Who told you to come back! I called my sister, you are so sentimental!"

Yan Yun knew that she was blaming him, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Yuanchun knew that his sister had something to say to him, so he continued walking forward slowly.

Zhao Yunrong said to Yan Yun:"It's really superfluous! I don't know how sorry I feel for my sister!"

Yan Yun didn't know what to say and stood speechless.

Zhao Yunrong said:"You know how to carry sister's burden, but mine!"

Yan Yun said:"I will carry it" and stretched out his hand.

Zhao Yuanrong quickly blocked the way:"How dare the slave family bother you, a great hero who subdues dragons and subdues tigers! Save your energy to carry my sister! You have carried her anyway."

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"If I didn't carry her, how would I have done it? Over the cliff!"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Why are you in a hurry! She walks slowly now, can't she still carry her on her back?"

Yan Yun said:"Didn't I just tell you to hire a sedan when you get to the town ahead?"

Zhao said. Zhao Yuanrong said:"Hire a sedan! What about me?"

Yan Yun said:"You are skilled in martial arts, and the princess is a weak woman."

Zhao Yuanrong spoke faster and asked urgently:"So she needs it more You take care of me, right?"

He said anxiously, Yan Yun said:"Ah. No - no, no, no."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Okay! I will abolish my martial arts now." Then he took out the Danfeng Sword from his waist.

Yan Yun broke out in a sweat and quickly grabbed her wrist and said urgently:"I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"It's none of your business! Let go, do you know whether you are giving or receiving a kiss? If you don't let go, I'm going to call you We're dead!"

Yan Yun stamped his feet anxiously and said,"Yanrong, please tell me, don't be impulsive. The guards besieging the Prime Minister's Mansion on Guyue Ridge are still waiting to be rescued!"

Zhao Yunrong said,"Okay! You answer me. A question, are you wandering around and changing your mind, are you - do you like my sister? It is true that she is gentle, considerate and knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, unlike me who only knows how to wield a sword. If so, tell me clearly. , I will definitely be as beautiful as an adult."

Yan Yun said anxiously:"I-how could I-I don't know how high the sky is and how high the earth is."

Zhao Yuanrong said hastily:"How can't you! Along the way from the cliff to Chifenggang, you-- - Do everything possible to please my sister - you dress like a beast!"

Yan Yun was so angry that she let go of her wrist and shouted:"Yes! So what!"

Zhao Yuanrong froze suddenly, and tears couldn't help flowing down his face.

Yan Yun stabilized his emotions and said with a stern face:"It doesn't matter if you have nothing to complain about. The situation is extremely urgent. If we lose the time, Wang Rong will definitely lead his men to attack the mountain, and more than a dozen lives on Guyue Ridge will be lost." It's over, don't you understand the priorities? Although I, Yan Yun, are humble, I am also an upright man. I will never do anything like climbing a dragon or a phoenix, or living like a dog! How can I bear the thought of being a beast in clothes!

Although Zhao Yunrong is willful, at this moment He didn’t dare to get angry and sobbed:"Okay! I believe in you, I believe in you."

Zhao Yuanchun relaxed his pace and distanced himself from Yan Yun and Zhao Yunrong behind him, giving them a chance to talk for a long time. Zhao Yuanrong knew his sister's intention. He wanted to slow down but was afraid of Yan Yun's urging, so it was not necessary to hurry. It’s not slow, it’s so lame. Yan Yun wanted to fly to Zheyun Mountain and stride like stars. Zhao Yuanrong had no choice but to follow closely.

Yan Yun caught up with Zhao Yuanchun. Zhao Yuanchun was panting and sweating as he left.

Yan Yun said:" Great princess! After several days of hard work, my body is weak. How can I survive walking like this?

Zhao Yuanchun smiled and said,"It's okay!" If you walk too slowly, you will miss the agreement you made with King Chen, and the lives of more than a dozen people on Guyue Ridge will be lost."

Although Yan Yun couldn't bear it, he couldn't take care of her. He was afraid that Zhao Yunrong would say something lukewarm again. Zhao Yunrong seemed to have seen through his heart and said:"My sister is not as good as my sister in martial arts. How can I endure so much? When you are tired from running around all day, my sister will carry you.

Zhao Yuanchun smiled:"How can I ask you, a young master, to carry it?" Only then did Zhao

Yuanrong remember that she was a woman disguised as a man, and said,"I was anxious for a moment, but I forgot." There is a village just ahead, let's take a rest and have something to eat before leaving!"

The three of them entered the town, found an inn, had a quick meal, took a short rest, and set off for Zheyun Mountain.

At the time of Shen Zheng (16:00), the three of them went up to Zheyun Mountain. The minions took the three of them into Chen Xin The big tent.

Chen Xin was sitting at the front of the tent. Yuanda, the leader of the green forest in the three mountains and eighteen villages, Wang Rong, the"Invincible Silver Halberd Peach Blossom Marquis", Wang Xijie, the"Yaksha of the Mountain", Yang Jian, Zhu Ao, Sun Hong, Li Jun, Lin Bin and others lined up on both sides. Yan Yun, Chen Xin and other leaders clasped their fists and saluted.

Seeing Yan Yun and others entering the tent, Yuanda said with a smile:"Brother Seven, you are here! Wang Rong, you are really looking down on others! Isn’t my seventh brother the kind of person who doesn’t have faith? Wang Rong, the leader of Langya White Tiger Mountain in Zhengnan Village, said:"

Yuan Da, don't talk nonsense!" Yan Yun is back, but has he brought back the princess from Guyue Ridge?"
