Two days later, at dusk, north of Lin'an City, hometown inn.

This is the second time Yanshan has come here. That year, he and his father were separated here, and a farewell may be a farewell.

The wind and dust are exhausted, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night. Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.

He held a sword in his left hand, a broken scabbard, a rusty hilt, and a horse in his right hand, standing quietly in front of the inn.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" the innkeeper greeted him, but before the words fell, he couldn't help but be stunned. He only felt that the man in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Yan Shan said with a smile: "Uncle boss, I am Yan Shan." ”

"Yanshan ......" the innkeeper muttered, and suddenly, he woke up like a dream and laughed: "It turned out to be a little mountain boy, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown up, and your demeanor is better than before!"

The voice that has been lost for a long time, a special name, is like a spring breeze. Yan Shan only felt a warm current rushing into his heart, and asked casually, "Where are the boss's aunt and Xiao Yezi?"

Before the innkeeper could speak, a handsome girl had already appeared at the door, wearing a long green skirt and slim. She looked fluttering and muttered, "Brother Xiaoshan, is it really you?"

Yan Shanwan smiled and said softly: "Xiao Yezi has also become a big girl." ”

"Brother Xiaoshan!" a call, the affection was lingering, and the thoughts accumulated over the years burst out in an instant, like a flood bursting the embankment, out of control. The girl threw herself into Yan Shan's arms and hugged each other tightly, tears moistening her eyes.

The unique body fragrance on the girl's body came to her nose. Yan Shan stroked her silky hair and said with a wry smile: "It's all big girls, and it's the same as before." ”

Seeing this situation, the innkeeper coughed lightly twice and said with a smile: "Xiao Yezi, go and let your mother cook a few good dishes, let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for the little mountain boy." ”

Xiao Yezi let go of his hand and walked away reluctantly.

Yanshan walked into the inn and looked around, everything was as before, familiar and cordial. Suddenly, his expression was moved, and his gaze stopped on a painting:

The Tao may be preached in the world, and it has been small and light for many years. Now that the sea is looking up, it is not an immortal if it is not Penglai.

The pen is vigorous and powerful, and the momentum is majestic, but there is a faint trace of imperceptible sadness between the lines.

Yan Shan recognized it at a glance that this character was written by Marshal Yue himself, and it was like a fake. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle boss, where did this painting come from?"

The innkeeper looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "Back then, a few days after you escaped, a strange guest came to the inn. He wore a hat on his head, and his entire body was wrapped in a wide black robe, so he couldn't see his appearance and body shape at all. He stayed in the inn for three days, and before he left, he left behind this painting and a hundred taels of silver. He asked me to hang this on the wall and it hung all the time. ”

Yan Shan hurriedly asked, "How is that person's voice?"

The innkeeper smiled bitterly: "He has never opened his mouth, what he needs me to do, he always writes it out for me to read, and then burns the note." ”

This person is cautious and does not leak, could it be his father-in-law? After thinking about it, he looked at the painting again and whispered: "The Tao may be preached in the world, and it has been many years since it was small. Now that the sea is looking up, it is not an immortal if it is not Penglai. After chanting, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "What is the meaning of this poem?"

At this time, two men and a woman walked into the inn.

The innkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

Yan Shan still stood in place, thinking hard.

The girl glanced at Yanshan, then looked at the word, and said coquettishly: "The Tao may be passed on in the world, and it has been changed lightly for many years. Now that the sea is looking up, it is not an immortal if it is not Penglai. I didn't expect Fan Chuan to be quite prescient!"

A man said angrily: "People Fan Chuan monks go to Penglai to seek immortals, but we go to kill people, how can we compare?"

Hearing this, another man hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense!"

At the same time, Yan Shan suddenly realized and muttered to himself: "It turned out to be going to Penglai." ”

The faces of the two men and one woman changed slightly.

The innkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "My stupid son has never understood the deep meaning of this poem, thanks to the three of them who woke up the dreamer, if you are offended, I hope you will forgive me!"

The girl smiled and said, "What's the matter?" the boss is too worried. ”

The innkeeper said angrily: "Stinky boy, go to the back kitchen to help!"

Yan Shan sighed lightly and walked straight towards the back kitchen. The moment he turned around, the corner of his eye swept over, and he recognized the three people. They are the two sons and a young lady of Xue Jiazhuang, named Xue Li, Xue Wu and Xue Xiaolian respectively.

Xue Xiaolian only felt that this back seemed to have been seen somewhere, but she couldn't remember anything.

Night falls, and the candlelight flickers.

In the back kitchen, Yan Shan and the innkeeper's family of three sat around a small square table.

Yanshan eats steamed buns and side dishes, which is very kind.

The innkeeper asked casually, "Little Mountain Boy, could it be that the writing was specially shown to you?"

Yan Shan nodded.

The innkeeper asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yan Shan said frankly: "Go to Penglai." ”

The innkeeper groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Those three guest officers are going to Penglai to kill people, there will be a fierce battle, it is inevitable to hurt the innocent, and if you are not careful, you will take your life." It's better to wait a few days, I'll go with you, and I will take care of it. ”

Xiao Yezi hurriedly said, "I'm going too." ”

The proprietress said slightly angrily: "Xiao Yezi, don't follow the foolishness." ”

Yan Shan smiled happily and said slowly: "Uncle boss, aunt boss, Xiao Yezi, you don't have to worry, I will definitely come back well." ”

The innkeeper seemed to remember something, and asked tentatively: "Little Mountain Boy, could it be that you are the Yanshan Yan Shaoxia often mentioned by people in the rivers and lakes?"

Yan Shan smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yezi suddenly smiled, but soon, she pursed her mouth again, sullen.

Seeing this, Yan Shan smiled and asked, "Xiao Yezi, why are you unhappy again?"

Xiao Yezi lowered his head and muttered: "Brother Xiaoshan has become a big hero, but Xiao Ye is still Xiao Yezi, and Brother Xiao Mountain will definitely dislike Xiao Yezi." ”

Hearing this, the innkeeper and the proprietress looked at each other.

Yan Shan only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, the girl's heart was really simple. He gently scratched Xiao Yezi's nose, his eyes were full of pampering, and he said softly: "In Brother Xiaoshan's heart, Xiao Yezi will always be the best girl in the world, how can she dislike it?"

Xiao Yezi raised his head, looked directly at Yan Shan's gaze, and said seriously: "Really?"

Yan Shan said angrily: "Of course it's true." ”

Xiao Yezi was satisfied, and she smiled, smiling brightly.

The innkeeper and the hostess glanced at each other, their eyes mixed with mixed joy.

"When are you going to leave?" asked the innkeeper.

Yan Shan said casually: "Early tomorrow morning." ”

"Be careful, no matter what!" said the innkeeper earnestly.

"Brother Xiaoshan, Xiaoyezi is here waiting for you to come back!"

"Definitely!"

The next day, the sun was just three poles up, and the sun was already scorching like a flame.

A man in Tsing Yi came to the gate of Dali Temple on horseback. He wore a hat on his head and carried a sword in his hand, with a broken scabbard and a rusty hilt.

"Who are you, and why are you here at Dali Temple?" asked a school captain.

Yan Shan didn't say a word.

The next moment, the rusty sword suddenly came out of its sheath.

I saw a figure flashing, and the plaque on the door had been broken in two and fell to the ground.

Yan Shan was still sitting on his horse. At some point, the rusty sword was already in its sheath.

Seeing this, the captain and the four officers and soldiers drew their swords at the same time, but they did not dare to step forward.

The lieutenant said in a deep voice, "Shoot the arrow!"

An officer and soldier glanced at Yanshan and saw that he was indifferent, so he mustered up his courage, and then an arrow shot up into the sky.

Soon after, a team of iron cavalry galloped towards Dali Temple, and the main general was Zhang Cheng, the general of the chariot cavalry. He saw the man riding from afar, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly stopped his horse.

The partial general asked casually, "General Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice: "This is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, let's go back quickly." ”

"Yes!"

In the main hall of Dali Temple, someone said: "Back to my lordship, General Zhang Cheng turned his horse's head halfway and retreated. ”

Dali Siqing forced his composure and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, don't act rashly, wait and see what happens!"

"Obey!" Dali Temple was just about to leave.

"Wait!"

"What else do you have to say?"

Dali Siqing said in a low voice: "Order someone to go through the back door, inform Lord Zongfang of this matter, and ask him to bring troops to help." ”

"Yes!"

In front of the gate of Dali Temple, a captain and twelve officers and soldiers held swords and waited for battle. I don't know when, cold sweat has soaked through my clothes.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away.

Yan Shan chuckled lightly, beat the horse and left, but no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Soon after, one man and one rider gradually disappeared at the end of the official road.

Dali Siqing led dozens of people from Shaoqing, Sizheng, Tuicheng, Duancheng, Sizhi, Commentator, and Master Bookkeeper to rush out with swords in hand. He looked at the end of the official road and said loudly: "Such a shame and humiliation, is it tolerable or unbearable, you wait for the order!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Hurry up and follow Lord Ben to capture the thief, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes!"

......

Everyone cooperated tacitly and tacitly.

It seems ridiculous, but in fact it is helpless, just because it is related to the lives of dozens of people. It can be seen that the companion is like a tiger.
