Chapter Eighty-Six: Father-in-law
This Yan Xiong seems to be a very trustworthy person, he was drunk last night, and today he still keeps his promise, taking Yang Yun and others to visit around the cottage.
Everyone walked and watched, and while walking, Yan Xiong also introduced to Yang Yun the purpose of each building, as well as his own ideas when it was built. In the process of Yan Xiong's introduction, Yang Yun had a good impression of this very elegant bandit leader.
This is indeed a man who is good at using his brain. So in Yang Yun's heart, the idea that Qing Ben Yingcai could not help but be a bandit became heavier.
Yang Yun is also not polite, while appreciating Yan Xiong's ideas, he will also put forward some of his own opinions. This also made Yan Xiong feel very strange, this prince who has been living in the deep palace actually knows so much.
watched the two of them talk and laugh. The bandits behind the two of them, Juyan, Chimuer and others, have always had a tacit understanding and did not interrupt their conversation.
The bandits I met along the way, as well as the servants in the middle, felt very strange when I saw the two of them. These are obviously two people who are enemies of each other, but at the moment they get along like a year-old friend, as if they are friends who have been friends together for many years.
But such a pair of New Year's friends suddenly turned around after lunch. The two did not give in to each other, and they were red-faced, and looking at the situation, it seemed that they were about to fight.
"You have to make it clear that you are not the high prince now. You are our captive, and you don't have the share to pick and choose! ”
"This prince is not a person who is afraid of death. If you can agree to your conditions, I will definitely agree. If you violate my principles, then you will not think about it, and it is a big deal that you cut off my head. ”
"Do you think the owner of this village won't dare to kill you?"
"Do you think this king is afraid of death?"
"On this condition, the owner of the village has made great concessions. So you have to agree, or the village will either kill you or lock you up here forever.
This king has cooperated with you to the greatest extent, but your conditions are too harsh, don't think I will agree.
The two of them suddenly turned into profiteers who were calculating, even for a tael of silver and a bucket of grain, they had to calculate for a long time. Seeing that the two of them were fighting with red faces and thick necks, they had already clenched their fists and were about to fight.
The change that stunned everyone suddenly appeared. Both of them suddenly made huge concessions and actually reached an agreement.
"Brother Yan, I will toast you with tea instead of wine. It's a pity that we are in different camps, otherwise, I would have identified you as a big brother! ”
"Haha! Little Brother Yang, what kind of tea do you drink? I'll immediately ask someone to bring food and drinks, and let's drink. Drink him like he did yesterday and get drunk. ”
In the blink of an eye, these two were about to fight, one old and one young, but they turned into old friends who had known each other for many years. This scene changed, and the bandits and Chimur and others next to him were dumbfounded.
The servants soon brought food and drinks to the two men, and they sat down together, chatting and drinking.
"Brother Yang, since we have already negotiated, you can take out a token for me. I will send someone to the county town to determine the exchange of silver taels and grain for your freedom. Qi Wei and Yang Yun drank a bowl of each other, and then said slowly.
Yang Yun also knew that since he was caught by bandits and went up the mountain, if he wanted to be free, he would definitely not be able to pay some price. However, he was also very calm in his heart, take the things up the mountain, and one day he will eliminate all these bandits, and how much he takes out, he will take them back twice as much in the future.
Under the guidance of this idea, Yang Yun met the requirements of these bandits to the greatest extent. Now that he heard that he was going to take a token, Yang Yun thought about it, took out a golden hairpin from his arms and put it on the table.
Who knew that this Yan Xiong saw the golden hairpin on the table, and his face changed color. He grabbed the golden hairpin in his hand at once and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Who gave you this Vermilion Bird Hairpin?" Yan Xiong's face became very serious, and he stared at Yang Yun. Shen Sheng asked.
"This is what my mother gave me, is there any problem? Also, how do you know it's called Suzaku hairpin? Yang Yun asked suspiciously.
"Who is your mother?" When Yan Xiong heard this, he immediately asked anxiously.
"My mother's name is Sima Yu, she is the princess of the previous dynasty and the jade concubine of this dynasty." Seeing that Yan Xiong's expression was a little strange, Yang Yun hesitated for a moment, but still confessed his mother's identity.
"Yu'er, it's really you, I finally heard from you again." After listening to Yang Yun's words, Yan Xiong looked at the Vermilion Bird hairpin in his hand blankly, with tears in his eyes, and muttered.
"Brother Yan, do you know my mother?" Seeing Yan Xiong's expression, Yang Yun asked suspiciously.
"If you don't know, then I'll tell you the story of me and your mother!" A look of happiness flashed in the corner of Yan Xiong's eyes, and he looked up into the distance, immersed in the story of the past.
Yan Xiong's father, named Yan Xu, was originally a hussar general of the Great Jin Dynasty in the previous dynasty. When Yang Yun's grandfather and former emperor Sima Nan was in power, he attached great importance to Yan Xu and entrusted him with important tasks.
Yan Xu is also a very grateful person, loyal to the former emperor Sima Nan. After Sima Nan's disappearance, he loyally assisted Sima Nan's son Sima Quan.
However, at this time, Sima Quan had already lost power, and all the military and political power was in the hands of Yang Yuan, the Taifu at that time. Yan Xu and other officials who were loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty tried their best to protect Sima Quan, but they were helpless.
Later, under the coercion of Yang Yuan, Sima Quan was forced to cede the throne to Taifu Yang Yuan. Yan Xu, who was loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, saw that he was unable to return to heaven, so on the day Yang Yuan ascended the throne, he committed suicide in the palace and martyred.
Yang Yun's grandmother, Empress Cui, Sima Nan's wife, thanked Yan Xu for her loyalty to the Great Jin Dynasty. raised Yan Xu's son Yan Xiong in his own house, treated him as his own, and specially found someone to teach him to learn literature and martial arts.
Yan Xiong is two or three years older than Yang Yun's mother Ma Yu, and they have lived in the same courtyard since childhood. And Queen Cui also admires Yan Xiong's children very much, and once said that they will marry when they become adults.
Who would have thought that when Sima Yu was fifteen years old, Emperor Fu Yang Cheng would make a will. forcibly brought Sima Yu into the palace and named him the Jade Concubine.
Soon after, Empress Cui fell ill and died of depression. Yan Xiong, who suffered a double blow, left Xijing. Finally, I came to Wu County, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, and fell into the grass.
"Back then, in order not to cause trouble to your mother, I chose not to say goodbye. I thought that there would be no more news of your mother in this life, but I didn't expect to see you here today. After Yan Xiong finished talking about all this, he said to Yang Yun.
"Yes! I didn't expect to see Uncle Yan in Wu County, thousands of miles away? I heard Yan Xiong talk about what happened to him and his mother Sima Yu back then.
Yang Yun finally understood why his father was good to his mother, but his mother always ignored his father and often lost his temper.
"Since God has chosen to meet the son of the deceased here, then I, Yan Xiong, am not running away. I'm going to face all of this head-on. Yan Xiong's tone was very firm.
"Yun'er, your Uncle Yan has never married, has no children and no daughters, are you willing to call me a father-in-law." After a moment of silence, Yan Xiong suddenly said loudly.
"Father-in-law, please bow down to the child!" Hearing Yan Xiong say this, Yang Yun did not hesitate at all. Immediately stepped forward and fell to his knees and shouted.
"Good! Good! I have been lonely for many years, and today I finally have a son, I am so happy. Yan Xiong said with a smile, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
"It seems that there is a providence in the underworld, today my father and son met in this cottage, it was destined by God, come! My father and son have a bowl! Yan Xiong said loudly, and then took the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.
Yang Yun looked at Yan Xiong opposite, and it could be seen that this man was sincerely happy, so he also picked up the wine bowl on the table and dried it up.
"Good boy, since you are already my Son, I will give you a gift for my father. As a father, he has been adrift all the year round, and he has no long things. I have worked hard for more than ten years to run this cottage, and I will give it to you today! Yan Xiong looked at Yang Yun opposite and said with a smile.
"How's that going to work? This is your father's life's work, how can a child take away your love? Yang Yun hurriedly said when he heard this.
"Child, you can't say that, as you get older, your father's energy is not as good as before, but you can't find someone to trust in the cottage. I am very relieved to see you today and hand over the brothers of the cottage to Yun'er. Yan Xiong said loudly.
"Alright, this is the matter of the child. I know that you are new to Wu County, and you still have a lot to do. As a father, I'm still quite tough now, I'll help you run this cottage first, and when you can get out in the future, the cottage will be handed over to you to deal with it all. Seeing that Yang Yun was about to postpone, Yan Xiong continued.
Yan Xiong is a person who doesn't like to procrastinate. What is decided will be done immediately. He sent someone to gather all the people in the cottage to an open space, and led Yang Yun to a high platform.
Soon all the people in the cottage gathered, and in this cottage, there were three or four thousand bandits who could fight, old and young women and children who served as servants.
These people were suddenly summoned to this open space, and they all felt very puzzled, but they didn't ask out loud, just quietly looked at Yan Xiong standing on the stage, wanting to hear what their village owner had to announce.
"Today, the owner of this village has something important to announce, and after I announce this matter, everyone must follow it and implement it, and there must be no objections." Yan Xiong looked at the audience and said loudly.
"The little ones obey the orders of the village master!" Everyone in the audience said in unison, it seems that this Yan Xiong's prestige in the cottage is particularly high, and no one is willing to disobey him.
The performance of everyone in the audience obviously made Yan Xiong very satisfied, and he pointed to Yang Yun beside him and said to everyone.
"Today, the owner of this village has a great joy. That is, he recognized this young man, that is, His Royal Highness King Wu of Dafu, as the righteous son of the owner of the village. From today on, Yang Yun is me, the young village master of Rhino Valley, and everyone should respect the young village master as much as they respect me. Yan Xiong glanced at everyone in the audience and announced loudly.
