After Yu Qing left Gaochang, he went all the way east, and the road was smooth, and he almost encountered any obstacles. In the end, he met a caravan, and he traveled with the caravan, and the caravan traveled for more than a month, and the caravan went to the party to do business, and they broke up. Yu Qing continued to advance eastward, detoured the Yellow River alone, and came to Taiyuan, an important town in the Central Plains, in the year of Xin Chou (941).

Seeing such a grand and prosperous city for the first time, Yu Qing felt very novel and shocked. He stopped on the street, looked at the busy market, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Taiyuan Mansion is so prosperous, what kind of scene will Chang'an be like that day?

Yu Qing was sightseeing on the street when he was suddenly attracted by a burst of shouting and noise. He followed the prestige and saw a group of officers and soldiers checking the passers-by one on the street.

Yu Qing stopped and watched for a while. This group of officers and soldiers came to the front of Yu Qing, and a person who looked like a small colonel stepped forward to look at him carefully, took out a portrait from his arms, looked at it, looked at Yu Qing again, and asked viciously: "Have you seen these two people on the painting?" ”

Yu Qing looked at the portrait carefully for a while, and saw that one of the people painted on the portrait was a bearded man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with a square scarf wrapped around his head, and a big black mole on the left side of the bridge of his nose, and a long beard on the black mole. Yu Qing always felt that this portrait was very incongruous, but he couldn't say what was wrong. The other was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, who seemed to be quite clever and delicate. He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it!" ”

The little school was very impatient, pushed Yu Qing, and scolded: "I haven't seen it for so long, and I wasted Lao Tzu's kung fu in vain!" ”

Yu Qing has been practicing in Xuanqi Mountain for more than three years, and he also knows the truth that men do not fight with women, and the people do not fight with officials, and in the face of the abuse of officers and soldiers, he thought that it was better to have more than one thing, so he hurriedly stepped aside and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, official, I'm sorry, official!" ”

The team of officers and soldiers continued to check on other passers-by, and Yu Qing wandered around the street for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he simply found an inn to settle down. He went to a shop called "Tianfu Inn", asked for a room, put his luggage away, and returned to the bathhouse downstairs to take a bath.

When Yu Qing was rubbing his back, he heard the commotion in the outer hall, and after a while, he saw the shopkeeper open the curtain of the bathhouse, nodded and said, "Official, you see, we are all law-abiding citizens, and here are all my guests!" ”

At the same time, an officer and soldier opened the curtain with a knife and looked into the bathhouse a few times.

At this time, Yu Qing and a traveler were taking a bath in the bathhouse, and the officer and soldier took out a portrait and checked it for a while, and then retreated. Then a voice came: "Report to my lord, I have already checked the bathhouse, no!" ”

Another stern voice said, "Keep searching!" Search one by one! ”

After washing and showering, I went back to my upstairs room. When he pushed the door open, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he whispered to the mosquito net, "Who? Come out! ”

At this moment, the head of a young man poked out from behind the mosquito net, and the young man made a silent gesture with his fingers, and then bowed to him in a begging gesture.

Yu Qing felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, another head poked out from behind the young man, it was the head of a child, and Yu Qing recognized him at a glance as the child on the portrait of the officers and soldiers. He immediately understood in his heart, and at the same time remembered that this young man was not the bearded man on the portrait? It's just a beard and a mole missing.

There was a noisy noise of officers and soldiers outside the door, and Yu Qingday's encounter with the officers and soldiers made him feel disgusted with those officers and soldiers. So he whispered to the two people behind the mosquito net: "Hide, don't make a sound, I'll deal with it." ”

At this time, Yu Qing's guest room door rang, and a hurried voice came: "Open the door, open the door!" Officers and soldiers make rounds! ”

Yu Qing replied: "It's here!" "Go and open the door.

When the door opened, I saw several officers and soldiers standing in front of the door, led by the colonel I met on the street today.

Yu Qing said: "Yo! Official, why are you again? We're really lucky! ”

The little colonel also recognized Yu Qing, and asked angrily, "Do you see any suspicious people?" After saying that, he looked around the room a few times.

Yu Qing said with a smile: "Look, sir, isn't it just me?" After speaking, he took out a small ingot of silver from his cuff and said: "Official, today I have delayed the precious time of all the officials on the street, and the small sin deserves death, which means compensation, and the officials will take it to eat in the bar!" In the future, I hope to take care of you in the realm of the official! ”

The little school nose "Hmm! He snorted and patted Yu Qing's shoulder and said, "You kid is quite clever!" With a wave of his hand, he said to his subordinates: "Go and search other rooms, there is no need to search this one!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, go slowly!"

After a while, it was finally quiet, Yu Qing pushed open the window and looked out, and saw that the officers and soldiers had left, so he closed the window and said, "Come out!" ”

At this time, two people, one tall and one short, rolled out from behind the mosquito net, and the young man took a deep breath, patted the dust on his body and arched his hand and said: "I'm so scared that I don't dare to come out, thank you brother for saving me!" ”

The child behind him also smiled and said, "Thank you for this big brother!" ”

Yu Qing looked at the young man carefully, and saw that he was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful facial features. Yu Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly: "What a handsome boy! ”

The young man couldn't help but turn red when he saw Yu Qing staring at him intently, but he immediately calmed down again: "What are you looking at, brother?" Is there something wrong with me, is it dirty? ”

Yu Qing said: "The little brother is good-looking, and he doesn't look like a wrongdoer, why is he wanted by officers and soldiers?" ”

But the child spoke first, "It's not my sister yet......"

The boy coughed dryly twice and glanced at the child with a warning look. The boy hurriedly changed his words and said, "My brother and sister, meddle in your business! ”

The young man said: "Xiang boy, we came out to walk the rivers and lakes, and when we saw the unevenness on the road, we drew a sword to help, this is the style of a chivalrous man, and righteousness is not for nothing!" If we are greedy for life and afraid of death, what else do we go out to break into? ”

The child smiled wryly: "Sister, what my sister said is true!" ”

Yu Qing couldn't help but be amused by them when he saw the two living treasures looking righteous and awe-inspiring, he smiled and continued to ask: "Can this young man tell me, what is going on?" ”

The young man arched his hand and said, "Brother Ren rescued each other with righteousness, dare to ask Brother Ren's honorable name?" Let me introduce first, my name is Zhao Kuangyan, Zhao of Changshan Zhao Zilong, Kuang Fu Justice, a production on the top, and a three-handed Yan on the bottom, this is my fiancée's brother Xiang Child. ”

Yu Qing also arched his hand and said: "Under Yu Qing, then Yu, Qing Shui's Qing!" ”

Zhao Kuangyan waved his hand and said, "I've seen Brother Yu!" Then he said to Xiang Boy: "Xiang Child, I've seen Brother Yu!" ”

Xiang Boy said: "I've seen Brother Yu! ”

Yu Qing smiled again and continued to ask, "Haven't you said how you were wanted by officers and soldiers?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "This matter is a long story! ”

Yu Qing said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

So Zhao Kuangyan told Yuqing about why the officers and soldiers in Taiyuan Mansion wanted him and his younger brother, and he said:

"Since I was a child, I listened to my father tell about the things on the rivers and lakes, and I was deeply attracted by the legendary stories on the rivers and lakes, and dreamed that one day I could practice martial arts to walk the rivers and lakes, act chivalrous and fight against injustice, become a hero, and achieve a meritorious career and become famous all over the world. So, since I was a child, I have worshipped many masters, studied martial arts seriously, and also practiced martial arts. At the beginning of this year, I had just turned 16 years old, and my parents set up a family affair for me, that is, Xiang Child's sister. I think, how can I walk the rivers and lakes when I get married and have concerns? So, I secretly ran away from home behind my parents' back, ready to walk the rivers and lakes. I didn't expect this kid to sneak out with me, I saw that he was still young, so naturally I couldn't let him follow me. But this little ghost is very clever, no matter what, he wants me to take him with him, and threatens me that if I don't take him with me, I will tell her sister and my parents about it. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Brother Zhao Xian's fiancée, who is also the sister of Xiang Er, doesn't look very good, otherwise how could he run away from marriage?" ”

Xiang Zi'er pursed her lips and said: "You are talking nonsense, my sister is a great beauty who is incomprehensible, everyone loves her, and the tree sees the flowers bloom!" ”

Yuqing smiled and said, "Oh! Is it? Then why did your brother run away from marriage? ”

Xiang Zi'er said hesitantly: "This ...... This ......"

Zhao Kuangyan took over and continued: "Don't discuss why I ran away from marriage for the time being, listen to me first." ”

Yu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Say it!" ”

Zhao Kuangyan glanced at him and continued: "Xiang Boy and I left the Luoyang Jiama Camp, passed through Kaifeng all the way, entered the Shanxi border, and came to Taiyuan. One day we were wandering the streets of Taiyuan Mansion and found a family juggling on the streets, a couple and two daughters. Their performance was wonderful and attracted a large audience, and Xiang Boy and I also went to join in the fun. Everyone was watching with interest, when suddenly there was a shout of 'Get out of the way, get out of the way!' When people saw it, it turned out to be Zhang Tianyi, the son of the big fortune advocate for the big man, arrived, this Zhang Tianyi was oily, pot-bellied, and so fat that his eyes were almost gone, and he relied on his uncle to be Taiyuan Mansion Yin, who had nothing to do for a day, bullied the market, and did all kinds of evil, and was called 'Little Overlord'. I saw Zhang Tianyi say to the juggling family, 'Whoever comes here must first be filial piety and respect Lao Tzu!' You're so bold that you dare to perform here without saying hello! After saying that, several of his family members stepped forward viciously and snatched a few copper coins from the performance. They were about to leave, and when they saw that the eldest daughter was very beautiful, they were very lustful, so they stepped forward to tease, and the couple wanted to stop but were beaten by the minions of the little overlord. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyan paused and took a sip of water.

Yu Qing said: "Damn! Then he asked eagerly, "What happened?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan continued: "Of course I can't stand it, but as the saying goes, 'a strong dragon is hard to beat the head snake', they are too many people, of course I can't suffer the loss in front of me, so I stepped forward and said to the little overlord: 'This little master, this girl has a low status, how can she be worthy of the wisdom of your little overlord?' Wouldn't it make people laugh when it was spread out? The little overlord said angrily: 'Humph! Joke? I think who dares to laugh at me in the entire Taiyuan Mansion? Then I said, 'What did you say?' This performer is still young, underdeveloped, and skinny is afraid that it will also ruin your interest, you are a rich and noble person, how can this poor girl and cheap maid of the mountain and wild family be worthy of you? If you want to find a woman, you also have to find the golden branches and jade leaves of famous families or big families. I see this lord is graceful and suave, the instrument is extraordinary, I happen to have a younger sister, and I went to Taiyuan Province with her, she looks like a sinking fish and a goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, a smile falls into the city, and then a smile falls into the country. If you meet, the bag you will love. Little Overlord was moved by what I said, and hurriedly asked where my sister was. I said it was at the Guangju Inn. As I spoke, I took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and gave it to the artist, and told them to heal their wounds. When Xiaobawang saw that I was generous, he naturally believed a lot. So Xiang Boy and I took him to the Guangju Inn, and asked them to wait in the hall, and I went upstairs to call my sister down. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Boy'er answered with dancing hands: "My sister, after my sister and brother went upstairs, I didn't see half a sound." The little overlord was impatient and had to go upstairs to see. I said, 'If my daughter's family wants to come out to meet someone, she naturally has to dress up, and the son should be safe and not impatient, and it will be fine for a while.' Sure enough, after a while, my sister and brother dressed up as a big beauty and came downstairs, she went downstairs, the little overlord's eyes were straight, and my sister's smile made him fascinated, it can be said that he was fascinated. ”

When Xiang Zi'er said this, he also stopped to drink water. Yu Qing was so anxious that he asked again and again: "What happened later?" What happened? ”

Zhao Kuangyan continued: "After I came down dressed as a beauty, I deliberately teased him a few times, and then deliberately said that I was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the room to rest. The little overlord was about to follow, but my brother stopped him. After I returned to the room, I quickly dressed up and went back to the original state, and when I went out, I deliberately said: 'That sister is resting, I will go and tell Zhang Gongzi.' I went downstairs and said to the little overlord: "Brother Zhang, my sister is very satisfied with you, he agreed to marry you as his wife, but we are a big family in Luoyang, because of the death of both parents, came to Taiyuan to join relatives, but I didn't expect the relatives to move elsewhere, how to say that we are also rich and noble people, marriage events can not be so casual, although the parents are not there, but the eldest brother is like a father, I will be the master of my sister to respond to this family business!" You bring the dowry tomorrow to propose! The little overlord asked how much the dowry was, and I said that according to our family's etiquette, there are not 1,000 taels, but 800 taels. The little overlord actually responded. The next day, he really took one hundred taels of silver and two silver bills to propose marriage. After the silver arrived, Xiang Boy and I naturally slipped away, where did any sister marry him? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qing was already leaning forward and leaning back with a smile, and said: "This is the evil retribution of the wicked, and the loss of the wife and the soldiers!" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "No, we are wanted by the government." ”

Before he knew it, it was getting late, and Yu Qing said, "So what are Brother Zhao's plans next?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "It seems that I can't get out today, so I can only avoid the limelight here first." ”

Yu Qing said: "However, I only have this room, and this bed is not enough for the three of us to sleep?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Who said that the three of us slept together? Let this room be given to the two of us, Brother Yu will be a good person to the end, you go and open another room! After speaking, he gave Yu Qing a piece of silver.

Yu Qing said: "How can there be such an unreasonable person in the world! This is my room! And drive me away! ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "You are a manly husband, don't be a mother-in-law." Then he pushed out of the city.

Yu Qing muttered and said, "Aren't you a manly husband?" ”

Xiang Boy grimaced and said, "I'm a manly little husband!" ”

Yu Qing was pushed out of the door, and the door closed with a bang, and Yu Qing pushed it and plugged it in. Yu Qing shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "Hey, this Brother Zhao is really domineering, this is obviously my room!" I had to go downstairs and open another room.

Early the next morning, Yu got up early in the morning, and after washing up, he came to Zhao Kuangyan and Xiang Boy'er's room, knocked on the door gently, and asked, "Brother Zhao, are you up?" ”

There was no answer in the house, but the door opened a crack, only to see Zhao Kuangyan whispering: "Come in, Brother Yu!" ”

Yu Qing entered the room and saw a little girl dressed up in fancy clothes sitting by the dressing table. Yu Qing was puzzled for a while, but found that the little girl was so familiar. He took a closer look, isn't this a fragrant child? How did she become a girl?

Yu Qing walked up to Xiang Boy with a hippie smile and twisted Xiang Boy's chin and said, "Wow, what a handsome girl!" ”

Xiang Zi'er pouted angrily, and said angrily: "It's all my sister's ......"

Yu Qing was stunned. Zhao Kuangyan glanced at Xiang Boy. Xiang Zi'er hurriedly changed her words and said, "It's my sister and brother who have to make me like this!" ”

Yu Qing looked at Zhao Kuangyan puzzled.

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Now the officers and soldiers are searching for us everywhere, and when we go out like this, it is easy to be recognized, and we have no choice but to dress him up like this!" ”

Yu Qing nodded and said, "That's fine!" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "At the moment, we can't stay in this Taiyuan, and as soon as the city gate opens, we are ready to go out of the city, and we have to worry about the cooperation of the eldest brother."

Yu Qing asked, "I don't know where Brother Zhao is going?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "The world is so big, will there be no place to stay?" This encounter with Big Brother Yu is also a blessing for Zhao Mou's third life, but I am afraid that there will be no goodbye day when I wander the world in the future, and I don't know where Big Brother Yu is going? ”

Yu Qing said: "It's not a secret, I went to Chang'an, the capital of heaven, to find a person named Chai Rong on the order of Uncle Taishi, the road to Chang'an is long, the road ahead is long, the sea of people is vast, like looking for a needle in a haystack, I don't know if I can complete the will of Uncle Taizu." ”

Zhao Kuangyan heard this, and said with some surprise: "Chang'an, the capital of heaven? I don't understand! ”

Yu Qing said: "Yes, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the capital of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhao Kuangyan was even more puzzled, and said, "Where is Brother Yu from?" Where did it come from? Still talking about the Celestial Empire? You're not just here, are you? ”

Yu Qing said: "I came from the distant Xuanqi Mountain, and I was originally a native of the Lulong Kingdom, but the Lulong Kingdom has been destroyed, and I did come to the Central Plains for the first time. ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "It's no wonder, the Tang Dynasty has long ceased to exist, now it is the sixth year of the Later Jin Dynasty, the current emperor is called Shi Jingjiao, the Tang Dynasty has been extinct for more than 30 years, and Chang'an is no longer the capital of the world, and now the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom is Xijing, although Shi Jingjiao claims to be the emperor, but I look down on him as a traitor to seek glory and recognize the thief as his father." ”

Yu Qing listened, his surprise was definitely not under Zhao Kuangyan. It turned out that the Celestial Empire in the heart of the Lulong Kingdom had long since disappeared and disappeared, and it was no wonder that the distant grassland was too far away, remote, and information-blocked, and I didn't know that such earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Central Plains.

Yu Qing was still a little unacceptable for a while, and looked out of the door in a daze.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyan comforted Yu Qingdao: "Brother Yu, we don't have any place to go, but Chang'an, the original capital of the Tang Dynasty, has been in decline for hundreds of years. If the military, political, and cultural center has moved eastward, and there are many heroes and heroes and people with lofty ideals gathered in the central and eastern parts of the Central Plains, I think that the people who your Taishi and Uncle Ancestor asked you to assist must not be idle people, and they will definitely appear in these areas. Besides, it is a long way to Chang'an, and now the soldiers are in chaos and thieves are rampant, so I am afraid it will not be easy. And the people surnamed Chai are mostly concentrated in Hebei and Shandong, so let's go to Hebei to have a look. In this way, we can also go with you, and it will be easier to find the person you are looking for with one more manpower. ”

Yu Qing came back to his senses and said, "That's fine!" Because he also vaguely felt that Chang'an was no longer the place he should go.

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Without further ado, let's hurry up!" ”

So the group of three hurriedly left the inn and walked in the direction of the city gate.
