The boat slowly sailed towards the Central Plains, Youfan took a cup of tea, walked to Murong Yanyun and sat down, seeing Murong Yanyun's expression, he understood his cousin's thoughts at the moment, and he was inevitably a little worried.

After a long time, Murong Yanyun broke the silence first and said, "Cousin, this place is inaccessible, why did you come to this desert island?" ”

You Fan smiled and said, "Father asked me to bet one last time on behalf of an old friend of his, who has passed away. The dart was taken overseas, and we went out to sea by boat. ”

"I see, this dart trip is going well, right?" Murong Yanyun asked casually.

"Don't hide it from my cousin, when we arrived on this trip, the king overseas had already passed away for many years." You Fan shook his head and said.

"Cousin, I've heard of my uncle's remote dart game, and it's one of the few big dart games in the world. What kind of valuables are you betting on this time, and why did you let my cousin come in person? Murong Yanyun said curiously.

"My cousin is not an outsider, so it doesn't hurt for you to see this thing." As soon as You Fan spoke, he instructed his subordinates to dart, "Lao Xu, help bring that thing and show it to my cousin." ”

A middle-aged man with a knife answered, went to another room and carefully brought a box, he put the box on the table, "Murong Shaoxia, please see, this thing is really priceless!" ”

The two of them walked over to the box, and as the lid of the box was opened, a golden light shot out from inside. Murong Yanyun felt that this golden light was a little too dazzling, so she squinted her eyes and looked inside.

I saw that there was an armor made of pure gold in the box, engraved with nine dragon patterns, densely embedded with eight treasures, extremely luxurious, rare in the world.

Murong Yanyun couldn't help but praise: "What a suit of armor, only a Dao Mingjun of Wenzhi and martial arts is worthy of it!" ”

Youfan nodded and said, "What my cousin said is true, this dart is for a monarch." It's just that he's dead, and now this armor may be the only one in the world who is worthy of it, but the time hasn't come yet, and he can't wear this armor yet. ”

"Cousin, who are you talking about?" Murong Yanyun said.

"Cousin might as well guess." Youfan smiled and said.

Murong Yanyun hesitated, "Cousin, are you talking about Chai Rong, the monarch of the Great Zhou Kingdom?" I heard that he was rated as the world's first ruler. ”

You Fan shook his head, "Although Chai Rong has the name of Mingjun, it is a pity that the real power is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, I am afraid that one day Chai Rong will die, Zhao Kuangyin will rebel." Although he has talent, this power has a tendency to fall, and it is still a little worse than the quality of this treasure armor. ”

"What about Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" Murong Yanyun asked.

You Fan smiled and said, "Li Yu? He's such a wonderful guy. He can't do anything except not be the emperor, if this is not armor, but a pen inkstone or something, then it must be him. ”

"Could it be Meng Chang of Shu Kingdom, Gao Baoqiao of Nanping, Liu Jun of Northern Han, and Yang Ganzhen of Yining?" Murong Yanyun was puzzled.

You Fan laughed, "These people are just empty of their names, much worse than Chai Rong, even Chai Rong is not worthy of this armor, how can these people be worthy?" ”

Murong Yanyun asked, "Cousin, I have basically guessed the monarch of this world, isn't this person the monarch?" ”

You Fan said slowly: "This person is not a monarch for the time being, but I believe that he will be sooner or later." He is as smart and erudite, excellent in martial arts, and bent on recovering the country, he is the only one in the world, I think he must not have been in the pool for a long time. ”

Murong Yanyun asked a little anxiously, "Cousin, can you tell me who this person is?" I really want to pay a visit to this master! ”

"Hahaha......" Youfan smiled and straightened his waist, pointed at Murong Yanyun and said: "Cousin, you are too arrogant, the person I am talking about is far away in the sky, close in front of me, it is you, cousin!" ”

"What! The person my cousin is talking about is me! Murong Yanyun said in surprise: "Cousin, although my Jinling Murong has the heart to restore the country, but I have never had the strength, how can I recover Dayan!" ”

Youfan slowed down for a moment and said, "Cousin, listen to me tell you." The so-called thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, but at the moment there are ready-made four generals for the cousin's use, and these people are all wealthy. After you get these four people, invite another military advisor, why worry about not being able to recover Dayan! ”

Murong Yanyun was even more confused, "I still have generals and military advisors?" Cousin, you're kidding. ”

"Let me tell you about these four generals first, the first person seems to have a very high status, but he is just a puppet, and it is not unattainable to take it for his own use. Second, with his cousin's current swordsmanship, there is hope that he will be able to accept him, but he needs to prepare some good wine. It's much easier to get the third place, and it's easy to have me in the middle of it. The fourth one doesn't even need to worry about his cousin, because he's discussing with you how to take those four people. Youfan smiled again after speaking.

Murong Yanyun guessed: "Cousin, this fourth person is yourself, I can trust your martial arts." But who are the other three? Could this first person be Li Minghe, the head of the Shenlong Sect? This second place is Wan Mengsheng, the owner of Yinfeng Mountain Villa? But who is this third person? ”

You Fanyi said with some admiration: "It's not easy for my cousin to guess the three of them correctly. This third person has also met his cousin, and he is Brother Han of Wandaomen. And that military advisor, let me tell you directly, he is Yun Yimo, the young master of Shuiyun Pavilion. ”

"My cousin's words today made me pause. Maybe with the five of you, I can really accomplish something great! Murong Yanyun said excitedly.

Youfanyi: "Cousin, if you raise troops, I, Youfanyi and Brother Han, will definitely go to the soup for you." But the other two need to find a way to establish a friendship with them, and only after the friendship will they be used by you in the future. ”

After he finished speaking, he got up and went to the deck, Murong Yanyun sat alone in the cabin, remembering his father's last wish, and from the day he was born, he pinned the wish of reviving Dayan on him. He thought that this life was out of reach, but just after listening to Youfan's analysis, he felt some hope in his heart, he looked at the sea, and suddenly felt his blood boiling.

The ship traveled for another two days, and arrived at a port not far from Yining Kingdom in the afternoon. Youfan felt a little hungry, so he took a few people off the boat, asked for a few bowls of noodles, and ate them.

Several people were eating with relish, when a middle-aged man dressed as a Bai entered the noodle stall, and when he saw Murong Yanyun, he was stunned for a moment, and then gave a deep salute, "This young man is Murong Yanyun?" ”

Murong Yanyun was stunned for a moment, got up and saluted: "It's Murong Yanyun down there." The first time I've been here, I wonder how this uncle will recognize me. ”

The man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Our general has already sent people to look for Murong Shaoxia nearby, but I didn't expect Murong Shaoxia to really come today!" ”

You Fan asked vigilantly: "This uncle, who is your general, and what is the matter with my cousin?" Several dart masters were also on guard, and they all pressed their blades, just waiting for Youfan to take it.

The man smiled, "Our general is Lord Duan Siping, the envoy of the Tonghai Festival." Presumably Murong Shaoxia should have heard of our general. ”

Murong Yanyun remembered that before his uncle died, he mentioned that his son was called Duan Siping, and said with a busy smile: "It turned out that Uncle Duan was looking for me, and he asked this uncle to lead the way." He stood up.

As soon as You Fan heard that Murong Yanyun knew this general, he eased up, "This uncle, can you take us to meet your general together." ”

"It seems that a few of them are people who practice martial arts, if you can help our general, I will take you there, otherwise I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient." The way of the man who is embarrassed.

"I wonder what your general wants us to help with?" You Fan asked.

The man said: "Our general is dissatisfied with the tyranny of the current dynasty and can't bear the suffering of the Li people, so he wants to lead us to raise troops against Yang Ganzhen, the lord of Yining." Now he has gathered his younger brother Duan Siliang, Lord Gao Fang, and the 37th Department of Eastern Yunnan as reinforcements, everything is ready, and he is just waiting to send troops. If a few people are willing to help our generals destroy Yining Kingdom, they will be grateful. ”

You Fan thought to himself, "If we help Duan Siping destroy the Yining Kingdom, I think that when my cousin wants to raise troops to restore Dayan in the future, he will definitely send troops to help." So he nodded and said, "I heard that your generals are strong in martial arts and love the people like sons, so I will stay and help you." ”

The man said happily: "Thank you Shaoxia, our strength has grown again, and the general will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds when he achieves great deeds." ”

The dart master asked Youfan: "Young dart head, should we stay here with you, or go back with the dart first?" ”

Youfan: "You guys go back first, this dart is important, don't damage it." ”

The dart masters answered and left with the darts. You Fanyi and Murong Yanyun followed the man to the west.

The three of them arrived at a military camp. The surrounding arrangements are extremely strict, and the discipline of the soldiers in and out of them is also extremely strict, and it is obvious that the chief general is a man who is well versed in military affairs. The middle-aged man of the Bai nationality who took the lead said a few words to the soldiers outside the gate, and led the two of them straight towards the Chinese army's big tent.

When they arrived outside the tent, a soldier stopped the three of them, "The big tent of the Chinese army, idle people are not allowed to trespass!" ”

The middle-aged man of the Bai clan said: "Please pass the general, Murong Shaoxia has arrived." ”

The soldier said, "Wait here, and I'll go to the general." As he spoke, he walked into the tent.

After a while, a deep voice came out of the big tent, "Murong Shaoxia is here, please come in." So saying, a general in his fifties lifted the curtain and walked out.

Murong Yanyun looked at the general, only to see that he had sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, a three-pronged handsome helmet on his head, a chain armor, a white cloak, and a long sword hanging from his waist.

"Murong Yanyun visits uncle." Murong Yanyun gave a deep salute and arched his hand: "Uncle, I heard that you want to save Li Min from fire and water, I admire it in my heart, I don't know if I can help my uncle?" ”

Duan Siping said with a smile: "I am extremely happy to have a virtuous nephew and this young man to help, so come and follow me into the account." As he spoke, he asked his soldiers to prepare some food and drink, and led the two into the tent.

It was the first time for Murong Yanyun to enter the barracks, so she felt a little curious and looked around. He saw a large Taishi chair and a desk in the middle of the tent, and a huge leather map hung behind the chair. On the side of the picture stands a long-pole Fang Tian painting halberd, the treasure is shining, and there are four chairs symmetrically placed on both sides.

Duan Siping waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please sit down." As he spoke, he sat on the Taishi's chair. When the two saw Duan Siping sit down, they sat on Duan Siping's left and right.

"Virtuous nephew, I sent people everywhere to look for you, I wanted to ask the virtuous nephew something. How did my father die, and did he leave any words? Duan Siping got straight to the point.

"The old man was killed by the thieves of the Nine Ghost Realm, and before he left, he asked me to tell my uncle that after achieving great things, don't be greedy for power, and go to live the days of fishing and farming, otherwise everything will be empty in the end." Murong Yanyun said.

Duan Siping sighed: "I didn't expect my father to be so indifferent to fame and fortune before he died, I will definitely remember his words, when I overthrow Yining and establish Dali, I will repair the temple and escape into the empty gate." ”

Murong Yanyun said: "Uncle, I have always been puzzled about something, and I want to ask my uncle." ”

"If the virtuous nephew doesn't understand something, as long as the uncle knows, he will definitely tell him." Duan Siping asked.

"I want to know what happened between my uncle and my parents twenty-eight years ago, why my father has not practiced martial arts since then, why my mother was expelled from the secluded house, and why my uncle recognized me when he saw this handkerchief?" Murong Yanyun said respectfully.

Duan Siping smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Except for me, only Yu Ninghan is clear." I didn't want to mention it again, but since my nephew asked, my uncle told you. Back then, I had no intention of picking up a handkerchief from Fang Lan, and I had a relationship with your mother, and since then I have been obsessed with her and have wanted to marry her. You Ninghan's father was planning to restore Dayan at that time, and he knew that my father had a heavy army, and he was very happy to see that I was proposing, and wanted us to help him restore the country. I told my father about it, and he agreed to help, and we made a deal. ”

Murong Yanyun was puzzled: "Uncle, what does this matter have to do with my Murong family?" ”

Duan Siping said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Murong family, but on the day of her marriage, Fanglan ran away with someone, and this person is your father Murong Bang." ”

You Fanyi asked, "Uncle Duan, I have also heard my father talk about this, but how did my aunt know Uncle Murong?" ”

Duan Siping explained: "Murong Bang fell in love with Fang Lan at first sight, he heard that Fang Lan often went to the treasure house of the Ten Thousand Classics to study, so he disguised himself as a poor scholar, and often went to the door of You's house to sell some calligraphy and paintings. In this way, Murong Bang can meet with Fang Lan often, so they have a good impression of each other. Murong Bang later heard that Fang Lan had been engaged to me and would be married in a few days, so he decided to elope with Fang Lan. Of course, I also heard these things from others later. ”

"Senior Duan just let them go?" You Fanyi had some words that he didn't understand.

Duan Siping said: "Of course it's not that simple, my father was extremely annoyed when he heard about this, and came to the Murong family to ask for someone. Murong Yuan's predecessors came forward to fight with his father, but if the two didn't fight, they wouldn't make a deal, and since then, my father and Murong Yuan's elder brother have been talking about literature and martial arts every day, and they have become close friends, and they have lived in Murong's house for three years. It wasn't until Yining was in danger that he had to return to Yining, and before leaving, the old man Murong Yuan gave him two ancient paintings containing martial arts secrets, which were regarded as compensation. My father didn't want to accept this heavy gift, but it was difficult to resist the kindness, so he promised that if he met the descendants of the Murong family in the future, he would definitely return it. Although my Duan family and your Murong family have resolved their grudges, You Ninghan's father passed away in a fit of anger, and You Ninghan expelled Fang Lan from the You family, and the Wanjing Treasure House has been sealed since then, and the revival has also been done. ”

Murong Yanyun let out a long sigh after hearing this, "I see, but why hasn't my father practiced martial arts since then?" ”

Duan Siping smiled, "That's because I once agreed with him that after marrying Fang Lan, I would not wander the rivers and lakes, and I would take care of Fang Lan wholeheartedly for me." ”

Murong Yanyun and You Fan Yi completely understood what happened back then, and You Fan sighed: "I said why didn't my father mention my grandfather's affairs to me, and he was furious when he mentioned my aunt, I see." ”

After Duan Siping finished speaking, he saw that the two of them suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Haha, these past events will pass after listening, you still have to fight with your uncle tomorrow, so let's have some dinner together and rest early." ”
