Chapter 9: Encounters on the Long Street

For three years, Murong Yanyun has been looking forward to the old man's early return, but there has been no news of the old man.

During this period, Murong Yanyun was naturally not idle, he practiced the stunts passed on to him by the old man every day, and now the three martial arts have some popularity, and he also named these three martial arts. The palm is exquisite, so it is named Ling Jue Shenzhang, the internal power comes from doing farm work, so it is named Shennong Heart Method, and the light power uses the first four words in the formula, Buyue Lingxing.

On this day, Murong Yanyun had breakfast, he had nothing to do, and he missed the old man in his heart, he pinched his fingers and counted, tomorrow is exactly the third year, and he was very happy, "Great, the old man will come back tomorrow, I should prepare to welcome him home." ”

As he thought happily, he tidied up the house, sprinkled water and swept the yard, which was spotless inside and out, and brought back a lot of firewood, and in the evening he caught another fish and put it in a pot to make soup.

Everything was ready, Murong Yanyun lay on the bed early, thinking, "I will definitely be able to see the old man tomorrow morning, I haven't seen him for three years, I really miss him, I don't know if he has been doing well in the past three years......"

Murong Yanyun fell asleep unconsciously, and had a dream, dreaming that the old man was back, still dressed as a simple woodcutter, but the skin on his whole body was purple and blue, obviously he was highly poisonous and dying.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you!" Murong Yanyun shouted anxiously.

"Little brother, you go quickly! Come on! I don't want you to get involved, remember my words, don't go to Da Zhou, remember to remember! The old man was weak enough to give his instructions, and then he died of exhaustion.

"Uncle, uncle......"

Murong Yanyun screamed and woke up in her dream, it was already the next morning. He broke out in a cold sweat, his heart was beating fast, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. But it was not as he thought, the old man did not come back, only the smell of fish in the pot permeated the hut.

He thought to himself, "The letter that the old man left for himself before he left said that he would return in three years, but now he ...... Could it be that there is something wrong with the old man? And three years ago, I heard the people in Yining City say that Zhao Hongyin was dead, presumably Zhao Kuangyin had no intention of chasing me because of this. Now that three years have passed, he will never let me go. No, I can't wait here any longer, I have to go to the old man! Although the old man didn't let me go to Da Zhou, where can I go except Da Zhou? Thinking about getting up, I got up, picked up some things, and then went to Da Zhou as I said in the dream.

On the way, Murong Yanyun disguised herself, for fear of being discovered by the people of the Shenlong Sect and causing trouble to herself.

More than a month later, he came to Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It was not early to enter Kaifeng City, so Murong Yanyun found an inn to stay in Bianhe Street. Murong Yanyun sat down at a table by the window on the second floor, ordered some wine and food, and looked at the scenery outside the window while drinking wine.

"Little two." Murong Yanyun shouted.

"Here we are." A guy running the hall on the second floor answered, walked over quickly, and smiled all over his face, "Master Ke, what do you command?" ”

Murong Yanyun asked with a smile, "Little Er, it's my first time coming to Kaifeng, I wonder if there has been any excitement here recently?" ”

When the guy heard Murong Yanyun's words, he smiled and said, "Master Ke, you really know how to come at the right time!" No, there are two lively things in Kaifeng in front of you, if you are not in a hurry, then you have to see. ”

Murong Yanyun saw that his man's eyebrows fluttered, and he was immediately curious, "Tell me quickly, what's new." ”

"The first thing is tomorrow, and Liu Baoen, the new champion, will boast about his officials in Kaifeng City tomorrow. This champion is amazing, he writes a good article, and he has been personally named a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion by the current saint, so he will definitely have a bright future in the future! "Dude envy authentic.

Murong Yanyun has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has no interest in the affairs of this court, so he just smiled after hearing it and asked, "What about the other thing?" ”

"The other thing is even more hilarious!" The guy said excitedly, "Zhao Chanxue, the daughter of Lord Zhao and the first beauty of my Great Zhou, is going to be engaged to Murong Yanzhao, the first master of my Great Zhou and the general deployment of the Zhenhuai Army." ”

Murong Yanyun felt a little strange, and he said in his heart, "The number one master of the Great Zhou? Why haven't I heard of Murong Yanzhao's name before, could it be that he is a new debut master in the past three years? I'm afraid that if he becomes Zhao Kuangyin's son-in-law, I will have one more strong opponent! ”

He groaned slightly, and said to the guy: "Little Er, I know, you go and get busy first." ”

The guy said yes and turned to leave. Murong Yanyun took a few more sips of wine and returned to the backyard guest room.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, Murong Yanyun went to the front yard to eat, and went up to the second floor by himself, and saw that the table was still empty last night, so he sat down and asked for some food.

Looking out the window, I saw a lot of people standing on the side of the street talking loudly. Murong Yanyun called Xiao Er to question, it turned out to be a resident in the city, and he came to the side of the street early in the morning, wanting to see the appearance of Liu Baoen, the new champion of the new department, and the grand scene.

Murong Yanyun couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Not long after, I heard a commotion on the street, and someone shouted: "The champion of the new department, Lord Liu, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is ordered to praise the official, and the idle people should quickly avoid it!" ”

Hearing the shouting, Murong Yanyun looked at the middle of the street, only to see three officers and soldiers holding long whips, while whipping the ground, while shouting in their mouths, so that the people on the street to avoid, behind them was a large group of ceremoniously dressed officers and soldiers, some on horseback, some on foot, hugging a young man in a big red robe, wearing a black gauze hat.

Most of the people on the street hurriedly hid in the nearby shops, wanting to see what this new champion looked like.

Murong Yanyun was young after all, so she couldn't help but be a little curious, so she kept looking out the window.

Soon, Liu Baoen, who was being embraced, got closer and closer to this inn. Murong Yanyun saw his appearance clearly. I saw that this Liu Baoen was seven feet long, his face was like a beautiful jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and the jade tree was in the wind, which was quite graceful.

Murong Yanyun said secretly, "If it's really outstanding, I'm afraid that I'm still above me in terms of appearance!" ”

I was looking at it interestingly, and suddenly I noticed that a girl who looked like a maid walked out of an alley, and continued to walk forward against the ranks of officers and soldiers.

"Whose maid is this?" Murong Yanyun said in his heart, "If you collide with the officer and soldier brigade, I'm afraid that you will be arrested as a thief." ”

Murong Yanyun was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a rapid "click" of horses' hooves from the ranks of officers and soldiers.

Soon, the ranks of officers and soldiers were scattered by a startled horse, which was very tall, unusually large, with hooves as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and was like thunder, which was comparable to ordinary horses.

The startled horses galloped forward along the long street, bringing up a strong wind. At this time, the girl did not even notice, but walked forward silently with her head down.

Before the horse arrived, the wind had already blown on the girl, and she suddenly realized that she screamed, but her body was so frightened that she could not move!

"Not good!" Murong Yanyun shouted.

Seeing that the girl was about to be injured by the frightened horse, Murong Yanyun hurriedly propped up the table, and took advantage of the strength to start the moon Lingxing body method, and arrived at the girl's side in an instant. At this time, Murong Yan Yunyan could care about the difference between men and women, hugged the girl's waist, and flashed to the side to avoid the startled horse.

At the same time, a red light in the ranks of officers and soldiers came to the startled horse and grabbed the startled horse's bridle. The extremely strong strength of the startled horse was actually stopped by this red light, and it was difficult to take a step forward. Startled, the horse stood up, let out a long neigh, and then calmed down.

Murong Yanyun saw that the startled horse was stopped, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease. He looked at the red light and wanted to see who the master was, but he was surprised at this look, the red light was none other than Liu Baoen, the new champion.

"Liu Zhuangyuan, good skills!" Murong Yanyun exclaimed.

"Thank you brother for saving people!" Liu Baoen also admired.

Then the girl was frightened and looked at the two of them. She saw that Liu Baoen, who was holding the horse, was elegant and handsome, and the numb-faced black-faced young man who hugged her waist was extremely ugly. The girl pushed away the black-faced young man's hand and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Thank you two benevolent fathers for saving your life, the little girl is grateful." ”

Murong Yanyun had the time to look at the girl she had saved, and seeing that this girl had a sallow face, dry hair, and extremely sloppy clothes on her body, she smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this. ”

Liu Baoen also stepped forward and said, "I can't help but let the girl be frightened this time!" Whose house are you, I'll send someone to take you home. ”

The girl returned the salute and repeatedly excused herself, and Liu Baoen had no choice but to give up.

At this time, a horseback leader stepped forward and said: "Liu Zhuangyuan, we only knew that your article was well written, but we didn't expect that martial arts are so good!" ”

"Haha, General Zhang has won the award, I just had an adventure. Let's go. Liu Baoen said and said to Murong Yanyun: "This brother, I don't know if I can make friends with Zaixia?" ”

Murong Yanyun hugged his fists and said, "This is the duty of a person in my rivers and lakes, so there is no need to be polite." He turned his head to Liu Baoen and said, "Liu Zhuangyuan, it's important for you to praise the official, and I'll see you in the future." ”

As he spoke, he and the girl flashed into the inn and got out of the way.

Liu Baoen nodded yes, "This brother is a master!" So saying, he got on his horse and commanded the people to go on.

Murong Yanyun pulled the little maid into the inn, thinking that she would be very restrained, thinking that she would be very restrained, thinking that she would wait for the crowd to disperse and send her out, but she didn't care about going up to the second floor, picked a table and sat down, and shouted to the guy: "Little Er, come to a bottle of thirty-year-old pear blossom wine, use a jade cup, and serve a few more side dishes." ”

When the guy saw that it was a maid who ordered the food, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Little girl, who is the owner of your family?" How can you afford to eat these! ”

Murong Yanyun went upstairs at this time and said, "Little Er, this girl's money should be counted in my account." ”

The little maid snorted and said, "Who told you that this girl can't afford to pay, so you don't have to look for this money." As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom and slapped it on the table with a bang.

The little maid's actions calmed down both the guy and Murong Yanyun, and Murong Yanyun thought to herself: "This little maid must not be from an ordinary family, I'm afraid she is a servant of the big officials in the court, I hope she has nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin, otherwise there will be some trouble." ”

The man smiled and accepted the money, and said, "Haha, it's because I don't know Taishan with my eyes, and I don't see that the girl is actually a God of Wealth." ”

Soon, the guy brought the food and drinks.

The little maid glanced at Murong Yanyun, "Let's eat together, you're welcome." ”

Murong Yanyun shook her head and said, "I just used the meal, the girl can eat it herself." ”

"Alas, don't you know that Bai Lotian once said, 'Red sleeves weave Ling Kua persimmon, Qingqi Gu wine takes advantage of pear blossoms', this pear blossom wine is served in a jade cup, adding flavor and color, delicious in the world!" The little maid poured a glass as she spoke, and drank it slowly.

When Murong Yanyun heard that the little maid in front of her could quote Bai Juyi's poem, she couldn't help but wonder, and asked directly: "Girl, which young lady are you, why are you dressed as a maid?" ”

The little maid was startled, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and said: "I treat you as a benefactor, and I want to invite you to a meal as a thank you, but you are here to set my words, it's really hateful!" ”

Murong Yanyun felt funny, he thought, "Which family's unruly young lady is so unreasonable." You just be polite, and it becomes an invitation to dinner, and when I ask you a word, it becomes a set of words, how can there be such a reason in the world. ”

"What, am I not right?" Seeing Murong Yanyun's expression, the little maid said: "Don't think I don't know, you must be my father's person, you just want to confirm my identity, why don't you do it quickly, arrest me back and ask for credit!" ”

Murong Yanyun smiled, "Little girl, what nonsense, I don't even know who your father is, how can I be his person?" Besides, if you are caught, can you ask for credit, who do you think you are? ”

The little maid listened to Murong Yanyun's tone, and then she put her mind at ease, "Okay, I believe you once, thank you for saving me today, you and I will have a date later!" With that, he went downstairs and walked out of the inn.

Murong Yanyun was stunned for a moment, and thought, "This woman is definitely not an ordinary woman, maybe she can find out the news of the old man here." ”

Thinking about it, he chased out of the inn, and when he saw that the little maid had not gone far, he shouted: "Girl, please stay, I have something to ask ......."
