Chapter 2: The Massacre
The prince slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the blue smoke and the sky in front of him, he said gratefully: "Thank you two for your rescue, your great kindness and great virtue will definitely be repaid by Zhao in the future!" After speaking, he looked up at Lan Yan, and just like that, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: there is still such a gorgeous woman in the world.
"What's your name?" Lan Yan asked casually. As soon as the prince was about to answer, he was preempted by Xuankong: "He is Zhao Shu, the nephew of the current saint." Hey, girl, why don't you ask my name? ”
"How did you know his name was Zhao Shu?" Lan Yan asked with a surprised expression.
"Tsk, didn't he just say it all?" Xuankong replied, "What has no intention of competing for the throne, but also the emperor or something." ”
"Oh, that's ......" Lan Yan suddenly realized, and then reacted again, "You...... Are you the prince?! Oh, yes, yes, I know, the grass people knock on the king. Xuan Nei, who was on the side, glanced at the blue smoke, and had no intention of kneeling.
Zhao Shu smiled and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, you just treat me as an ordinary person, and you haven't asked the girl's name yet?" ”
"My name is Fu Lanyan."
"The name of the real beauty is really as good as the name," Zhao Shu looked at Xuankong again, "Who is this senior?" ”
Xuankong, who had been lying on the side for a long time, snorted: "Cut, I finally remembered me, you can just call me Elder Xuankong, and Xuannei's seniors are also okay." Who made me so low-key, ahaha......"
Lan Yan glanced at Xuankong, patted Brother Zhao's shoulder and said, "Don't pay attention to him, you'll be a crazy old man." ”
"What a crazy old man, you're a crazy girl!"
The two of them began to fight.
Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Both of them are straightforward people, if there is a chance in the future, I, Zhao, will definitely return the favor!" It's just that my brother Wang is now targeting me everywhere, and I will kill at any time, in order not to drag the two of you down, I will personally explain my sincerity to Brother Wang, and then come to the banquet for the two. ”
"Okay, then we'll have a date later!" Blue Smoke clasped his fists and saluted.
"There will be a date later!" After Zhao Shu returned the salute, he bowed to Xuankong again, and then turned to leave.
"Okay, girl, it's time for us to part......" Xuankong waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Hey! Old man, you ...... If you don't have a meal at my house, it's not too early now......" Lan Yan stopped him.
"Eat?" Xuankong froze as if he had been struck by lightning, he turned his head and looked at Lan Yan with a serious face, and then let out another ghost laugh, "Great, let's go!" Where do you live? ”
"Not far away......
"Is there meat? Is there alcohol? ”
"You want to be beautiful!"
The two quarreled all the way again, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the house.
"Daddy! Mother! I'm back! Blue Smoke pushed open the wooden door and shouted inside.
"Yan'er, why did you come back so late today?" The woman asked, setting up the dishes and chopsticks.
Lan Yan walked into the house, pulled up Xuannei, and said, "Mother, this is because my daughter met an old ...... today Eh, it's a martial arts master, and we talked very happily, so I missed the time to go home! ”
"Martial arts master?" The woman looked up in surprise, and then she saw Gennai behind Blue Smoke. When the woman saw that his clothes were shabby and shabby, and that his white hair and beard were not taken care of at all, and that he was like a beggar, where could he look like a man of great fortune in the world?
Thinking about it, the woman politely invited Xuankong into the house, and Xuankong didn't see the outside, so she opened her legs and walked inside. Coincidentally, Lan Yan's adoptive father Fu Changqing had returned from teaching, and when he saw that there were more guests in the house, he hurriedly made the guest of honor, and he said: "Distinguished guests come to the cold house, coarse tea and light rice, please don't smile." ”
Fu Changqing's clothes are neat and meticulous, although the clothes are simple, but they are more elegant, the eyebrows are strict but not kind, the smile is gentle but not the righteousness, and at first sight, you know that he is a person with poetry and books and extraordinary spirit. Xuankong couldn't help but admire, and hurriedly got up to salute back: "Master Fu is polite, I was injured unexpectedly, it is Ling Yiqi who helped me so that I will not be on the street, and fortunately, the old lady does not dislike it, and is willing to stay here for dinner, I am really grateful." ”
Fu Changqing saw that Xuankong was also talking extraordinary, so he was very happy to order his wife to take the peach blossom drunk brewed from home and share it with Xuannei. She felt bored, so she poured a glass of peach blossom juice and went out to enjoy the moon alone.
Tonight's moonlight is bright, and the yard is very bright without lighting, so the blue smoke tray sits on the ground, closes his eyes, and quietly enjoys the tranquility of the night while tasting the sweet peach blossom juice. At this time, the white jade on Lan Yan's chest emitted a trace of light blue brilliance, faintly, slowly, the light blue turned into purple again, and then changed into blood red, the three colors were alternately converted, but Lan Yan did not notice. It wasn't until the door of the house was opened that Yu Jue returned to her original appearance.
Lan Yan turned his head to look at his father and the old man Xuankong who came out, and turned his back again in a huff. Seeing that his daughter didn't get up yet, Master Fu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Yan'er, Elder Xuankong is leaving, why don't you get up to see him off?" ”
Lan Yan glared at Xuankong, who was raising his eyebrows proudly, and said, "Got it, Dad." ”
When they reached the gate, the three stopped. "Then I'll leave later, and there will be a period later." Xuankong bowed to Fu Changqing.
"There will be a date later." Fu Changqing returned the salute.
Lan Yan grimaced, and Xuankong smiled "hehe" and turned to leave.
"Yan'er, let's go." Fu Changqing smiled and put his hand on Lan Yan's shoulder.
Lan Yan asked curiously, "Dad, what did you all talk about?" ”
"Chatting about the country, talking about everything, this friend of yours is not simple." Fu Changqing stroked his beard with a smile.
"Oh." Lan Yan pouted and thought: What is there to talk about with an unserious old man, even I ignore it.
But it's good to see your own dad so happy.
Ten days later, Lan Yan, as usual, went to the vegetable market to help his mother after learning the reading task assigned by his father.
As a result, as soon as he walked to the bazaar, he saw a large number of Liao soldiers coming from a distance. They roamed the streets, and when they saw them, they tore up the stalls. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Yan thought about his mother's safety, so he hurriedly ran to his stall. Sure enough, when I got there, my mother was crying on the smashed wooden table, surrounded by dried vegetables scattered all over the ground.
Lan Yan hurriedly stepped forward to hug her mother and comforted: "Mother, it's okay, it's okay, Yan'er is here...... What's going on? ”
Mrs. Fu sobbed and replied, "It's the Liao army, they are going south again, I'm ...... I heard them say that they were going to slaughter our city of Danzhou. ”
"What?!" Lan Yan saw that the Liao soldiers not far away began to draw their sabers and prepare to slash at Aunt Zhang, who was in the stall next door, and was shocked and shouted: "Be careful!" It's a pity that in the blink of an eye, Aunt Zhang has fallen in a pool of blood.
"Yo, let others be careful, you're already too good to protect yourself," a military commander-like person looked at Lan Yan with squints, "You little girl, this face is really good." After speaking, he pinched Lan Yan's chin.
Mrs. Fu rushed forward and pushed the commander away, scolding: "Brute! Don't touch my daughter! ”
The military commander glared at Mrs. Fu impatiently: "Where did this son of a girl come from, kill her for me!" ”
"Wait, you are not allowed to touch my mother!" Lan Yan stood in front of Mrs. Fu, she sneered, pushed away the soldiers in front of her, walked up to the army commander, and said, "You are so domineering, aren't you afraid that our army of the Northern Song Dynasty will come when the time comes, and I will kill you without leaving a piece of armor?" ”
After hearing this, the army commander laughed: "Little beauty, do you think we will be afraid of you Song soldiers?" Your magistrate has already surrendered and fled for his life, so who cares about you? If you want me to say, you, the city on the border of Song and Liao, will have to return to our Liao sooner or later! Just obey us, or beware that I will take your life! ”
Hearing this, the people around him began to waver, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Our emperor didn't take us seriously at all, or surrender Liao."
"That's it, even the magistrate is gone, why don't we leave."
"You can't give your life in vain."
“……”
Seeing that the situation was like this, the army commander hooked his lips and smiled.
At this time, Fu Changqing came from a distance and shouted: "Folks, don't listen to the words of the villain, these dog soldiers can't listen to the words, even if we surrender, they will never let us go, here I, Fu Changqing, tell you, my old man will never surrender to Liao!" Death will not be! ”
"Daddy......" Lan Yan looked at his father, who was usually elegant and calm, in surprise, and felt that the image of his father was taller than usual in his mind at this moment, and Lan Yan suddenly felt confident, "Never surrender to Liao!" ”
"Worthy of being my good daughter!" Fu Changqing looked at Lan Yan excitedly and nodded.
"Hmph, toast if you don't eat and drink, you give it to me!" The commander had a cold face and ordered.
The masses rebelled. Lan Yan took out a short whip used to drive cattle, and whipped it on the Liao army, and in a short time, the Liao army couldn't get close to her at all. Fu Changqing picked up a long bamboo stick casually, waved it freely, flipped on its side, and the stick flew out of his hand, smashing the commander of the army in one eye. Blue Smoke exclaimed: "What a great method! ”
But after all, the unarmed people could not match the heavily armed army, and after a fierce battle that lasted for nearly two hours, Fu Changqing was killed by a soldier with a sword, and the situation was chaotic.
"Daddy!!" Lan Yan looked at Fu Changqing who was lying in a pool of blood in horror, and hurriedly ran over.
"Daddy, kid!" Mrs. Fu stumbled over, crying and hugging her husband.
The villagers also stopped one after another.
Seeing this situation, the army commander shouted again: "Kill ...... for me" Before the words fell, a large wave of Song troops came back from not far away, and it was Zhao Shu who led the army to kill. When the army commander was about to retreat, he was already surrounded by the Song army.
"Zhao Shu?" In the haze of tears, Lan Yan saw the person on the horse.
"Miss Fu?" Zhao Shu hurriedly dismounted, looked at Fu Changqing, who was already breathless, and said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Mrs. Fu couldn't hold back her emotions at this time, so she grabbed a sword on the ground and slashed at the military commander: "You return my husband!" ”
"Mother! No! Lan Yan wanted to hold her mother, but it was too late. I saw that the military commander stabbed Madame Fu in the heart with a sword, and Mrs. Fu spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and fell to the ground.
"Mother! Mother! Blue Smoke cried and ran up to hug her mother.
Zhao Shu reacted and viciously ordered: "Kill me!" ”
The commander ordered the soldiers to surround themselves so that they could escape, and when the Liao soldiers broke a way out, Lan Yan saw a sign hanging from the commander's waist with his name written on it.
"Li Difu ......" Blue Smoke stared ahead, his eyes were red.
At this time, Yu Jue flashed a bloody light.
