"Qiantang West Lake is in the middle of a dream, and it is thousands of miles south to Hangzhou. The tide of the Yangliu embankment rises, and the wind and rain are a little sad. ”

Wan Yanliang looked at the empty distant mountains and looked in the direction of Lin'an, full of sadness.

Yang Congyi said: "Brother Wanyan, you have seen the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, and there are no regrets when you go back this time, but you have suffered a little arrow wound, so you don't have to be so sentimental." ”

Wan Yan Liang said: "Hangzhou is a beautiful dream, how many literati and scholars in Beijing think day and night, I have a chance, although I have a wish, but now I am full of regrets, I am afraid that this time I left, it will be rare to see it in the future." ”

Yang Congyi said: "I've seen it, stay in my heart, it's enough, don't be so greedy, after all, Song and Jin are thousands of miles apart." The scenery of Hangzhou, a few people in the north have seen it, you have been here, it is fate, it is lucky. ”

Wan Yanliang said: "Yes, it's already lucky." It's just that I feel sad to think of such a beautiful scenery that I will never see it again. ”

Yang Congyi said: "If you want to come in the future, just come quietly." ”

Wan Yan Liang said: "This time something like this happened, I'm afraid there will be no future." ”

"Don't think about it so much, let's think about how to go back first. I slept and had to go tomorrow morning. ”

The bonfire under the cliff flickered brightly, crackling, and the mosquitoes and moths that came to see the light turned into invisible green smoke.

It was a peaceful night.

I woke up in the morning, made a fire, and roasted a pheasant, which was not much meat, but it was still satisfying.

After eating, the three of them continued their journey westward.

Two days later, he arrived in Anji County, went to the city to become a golden hairpin hair ornament, bought some food, and continued to the west.

Five days later, he entered Xuanzhou, arrived in Ningguo, went into the city to have a full meal, bought some food to bring, and continued on the road.

Half a day after Yang Congyi and his party left Ningguo, several fast horses rushed to Ningguo, and of course they were the accomplices of the man in black.

Yang Congyi's golden hairpin headdress that they had in Anji County, with the characteristic symbol of Jin Guo on it, and the workmanship was very fine, naturally attracted attention, and their escape route was discovered by the accomplices of the man in black, and they rushed all the way to Ningguo.

After inquiring in Ning Guo, they got the information that Yang Congyi and the three of them had appeared, and then directly divided their troops into two routes, all the way to the north and all the way to the west. After that, they never tracked down any news about Wan Yanliang and the others, as if the world had evaporated.

It turned out that after leaving Ningguo, Yang Congyi and the three of them gave up going north to Xuanzhou and went south.

Yang Congyi told Wan Yan Liang and Tang Xun that if they go north to Xuanzhou, or go all the way to the west, it will be easy for the pursuers to find out the trajectory, Wan Yan Liang wants to go back to the north, and now it is safest to go south, and when they can't catch up, they can go west or go north if they think of the south, since they are fleeing, they must confuse them.

Wan Yanliang only wants to return to Jinguo safely, and he has no opinion on how to go. Tang Xun is dizzy these days, he doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't have an opinion.

Six days later, Yang Congyi and the others arrived in Huizhou, replenished food outside the city, did not stay too long, and went south to Jingdezhen.

After arriving in Jingdezhen, they immediately went north and crossed the river into Wangjiang County, at which time they had left Lin'an for almost a month.

When they arrived at the territory of Anqingjun, Yang Congyi felt a little relieved, and if they could still chase them here in such a big circle, it would be a real god.

However, he didn't dare to be careless, and after crossing the river, he couldn't enter the city. What he really needs to eat, he also entered the city alone, after all, it is not common to live in small towns, let alone the three of them appear together.

After that, it went all the way north, through Taihu County to Yuexi, from Yuexi to Huoshan County, and then north out of Lu'an County, and finally entered the Anfeng Army and arrived at the Song-Jin border.

By this time, it was already May.

The Anfeng military administration is located in Shouchun, which is an important border town, and those who go north must be strictly inspected, and those who return to the south must be inspected. Wan Yanliang's identity is special, so naturally he can't leak it casually, and in desperation, the three of them have to continue to climb the mountain and walk the path.

Song and Jin made peace, and the two countries divided the Huai River to rule, and all the crossings on the Huai River were guarded by their own troops, and they could not cross the river easily.

The three of them could only cut wood in the wilderness to make boats and smuggle across the river.

After nearly two months of long journey, the three of them ate and slept in the open, getting along day and night, although they were two people, they also got along with some friendship.

Wan Yanliang looked at the other side of the river, extremely excited.

"Brother Wanyan, if you cross the river like this, can anyone recognize you?" Yang Congyi looked at the man in cloth in front of him, and he really couldn't imagine that he had once driven around the lake, and the two images were very different.

Wan Yanliang said with a smile: "The people on the other side of the river can't recognize it, so I'll go to Bianjing." ”

Tang Xun was a little unhappy, so he said: "Don't look at it, hurry up and help, send you across the river, and we have to go back to Lin'an." ”

Wan Yanliang said with a smile: "Why should Brother Tang be in a hurry, he has been gone for so long, so he is not in a hurry." ”

Tang Xun threw away the wood in his hand and said coldly: "Don't cross the river if you're not in a hurry." ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Brother Wanyan, cross the river a moment earlier, and be peaceful early, but the river is always in danger, come quickly." If you want to compose a poem, when you cross the river, there is time to compose. ”

Wan Yanliang smiled: "Brother Yang still knows my mind." My literary thinking was disturbed by Brother Tang, otherwise it would definitely be a masterpiece. ”

Tang Xun said: "Is that for me to pay you money?" ”

Wan Yanliang said with a smile: "Brother Tang is cheesy, how can poetry be measured by money, poetry is priceless." ”

Tang Xun frowned, and was about to sneer at him, Yang Congyi hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, it's the right thing to do a good job of rafting." ”

Wan Yanliang laughed and came over to help chop branches.

It took half an hour for the three of them to finally make the raft and carry it into the water.

Looking at the Huai River, which is more than 200 zhang wide, Wan Yanliang said: "Brother Yang, Brother Tang, it's the last journey, accompany me across the river." ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Brother Wanyan, you will be home after crossing the Huai River, if we accompany you, it will be dangerous, if it is discovered, it will lose your life, the risk is too great." The raft has been prepared, and the current of the Huai River is not urgent, you can row it by yourself, so you don't need to trouble us. ”

Tang Xun said: "Yes, you can pass by yourself, why bother us." Let's go. ”

Wan Yanliang said with a smile: "Brother Yang, Brother Tang, I have been walking together for almost two months, don't you still believe me?" ”

Yang Congyi naturally didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Brother Wanyan, it's not early, you go back quickly, don't forget ten thousand taels of gold." ”

Wan Yanliang was helpless, handed the scimitar in his hand to Yang Congyi, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then don't leave it at that." This knife has my name on it, and I will send it to you as a souvenir. The next time the envoy of the Jin Kingdom goes to Lin'an, you will use this saber to get ten thousand taels of gold, and I am also a righteous man and a gentleman, and I promise a thousand gold. ”

Yang Congyi took the scimitar and pulled it out to see that there were indeed characters on the knife, but it was not Chinese characters, and he didn't know it. So he smiled: "Brother Wanyan is so polite, it makes Yang ashamed." Say goodbye and have a nice trip. ”

Wan Yan Liang hugged his fists and saluted, and thanked: "Two great graces, Wan Yan Liang remembers in his heart, if one day, the two of them can go to the Jin Kingdom, I will sweep the couch to greet each other." There will be a period after the meeting! After speaking, he jumped on the raft, and as soon as he held the bank with a stick in his hand, the raft floated towards the Huai River.

Yang Congyi clenched his fists and said loudly: "Brother Wanyan, if one day, you take the power of the Jin Kingdom, but remember that my Great Song is a peace-loving person, don't start a war lightly." ”

Wan Yanliang replied: "Brother Yang is too worried, I am exiled, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold power in this life, people are soft-spoken, the situation of the Jin Song Dynasty, I can't do anything, follow the general trend!" ”

Yang Congyi waved his hand and said loudly: "It's easy to walk all the way!" ”

Wan Yanliang replied loudly: "Brother Yang, Brother Tang, cherish a lot!" ”

Watching Wan Yan Liang drift on a raft to the other side of the Huai River, which is more than 200 zhang, the figure is getting smaller and smaller. Tang Xun couldn't help but say: "Brother Yang, I've been holding back for two months, and I haven't asked you, why did you save him?" Is it for the 10,000 taels of gold in his mouth? ”

Yang Congyi watched Yan Liang go away, patted Tang Xun's shoulder and said, "Ten thousand taels of gold, it's just that he said it casually, I don't believe it." He is the Jin State Clan, and he is also the envoy of the envoys, he can't die. As soon as he dies, I am afraid that the war between Song and Jin will start again, and now is not the time to fight. ”

Tang Xun said: "The night the men in black entered the martial arts, you heard the news that they were going to rob and kill Yan Liang." ”

Yang Congyi explained without reservation: "Yes, I was about to go to the toilet that night, and I met a dying person on the way, who told me that someone was going to kill the envoy of the Jin Kingdom and asked me to report the news." Unexpectedly, not long after I returned to the room, the man in black came after me. Wan Yanliang can't die, and I don't know who I can report to, so I can only personally sound arrows to warn Wan Yanliang on the way back, telling him that it is not safe on the way back, reminding him to strengthen his guards, and when his car comes, I shoot two arrows and leave, who knows that the man in black is also ambushed there. But I'm glad you're here, otherwise he and I would have been finished. I haven't asked you yet, how did you end up there? ”

Tang Xun said: "Sure enough. That day in martial arts, after the man in black was killed, I found that you didn't look right, and I was afraid that I heard the secret that the man in black wanted to keep secrets, so I followed you that morning, chased all the way to the small hill, and ambushed you not far from you. Do you know who shot that arrow in Wan Yan Liang? ”

Yang Congyi's face froze: "It's you?" "Tang Xun followed him all the way, could he have any secrets?

Tang Xun said: "It's you." After finishing speaking, seeing Yang Congyi's stunned face, he explained: "I can see clearly, that arrow was shot by you." After Yan Liang was hit by an arrow, the envoys knew that they had been ambushed, and then the black-clothed men in ambush on the opposite side launched an attack. If it weren't for your arrow that disrupted the plan of the man in black, they would have walked a few feet away, and the man in black would have had a few rounds of arrows, and Wan Yanliang would have to die on the spot. ”

Yang Congyi patted his chest and said, "Scared me." Fortunately, he accidentally shot Yan Liang with an arrow and saved his life, and he didn't lose anything. But you, why did you follow me all the time? ”

Tang Xun said: "The man in black does not hesitate to kill people to keep secrets, I am afraid that you are in danger alone." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Brother Tang, thank you, if you don't come, my life is probably gone." It also caused you to suffer for two months, and when Yan Liang's gold is delivered, you will be given more points. ”

Tang Xun looked at the black spots in the Huai River getting farther and farther away, and said lightly: "Forget it, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect your ten thousand taels of gold." ”

Yang Congyi said: "Brother Tang, don't say it so absolutely, it's not all Jin people who don't pay attention to faithfulness, Wanyan Liang, this kid, can still be expected." As he spoke, he pulled out his scimitar and looked at it.

Tang Xun said: "It has nothing to do with Xinyi, I'm afraid he won't live long." ”

Yang Congyi was surprised: "Why?" ”

Tang Xun smiled: "I will meet, he is short-lived." ”

Yang Congyi laughed and shook his head silently.

Seeing that the small black spot in the Huai River was gone, the two returned to Anfeng.
