Chapter 1: Righteous Knot Jin Lan
The north and the south are double flyers, and they sigh together for state affairs.
When the opponent is indistinguishable from the opponent, the sun wipes the sword and swears Jinlan.
—Epigraph
On February 23, the last year of Yuan Fu in 1100 AD, Song Zhezong died, and the Northern Song Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, at the age of 24.
The remnants of the sunset set the clouds in the sky are extraordinarily red, occasionally the petrel crosses the sky and composes a gripping movement on the golden sunset, there is a middle-aged man on the edge of the sea who is leaning on the reef with his back, and the long flute in his hand is blown by him to a long and beautiful sound, taste it carefully, as if it is mixed with infinite helplessness and resentment, next to him there is a woman who seems to be four or five years younger than him, this woman is dressed in plain clothes, the curtain gently flutters with the sea breeze, as if the fairy descends to earth, the sea breeze blows the woman's abdomen slightly bulging and looks particularly prominent。
"Yu Fan, can we leave Duanjiabao? I always feel that there is another mystery in the middle, and besides, I am now pregnant with our child, I really hope that our family will stay away from the hustle and bustle and retire to the rivers and lakes. ”
"How can this work, I have heard that the Shao Xia of the Yuan family is famous, since Yuan Daxia is a sincere guest, how can we leave. ”
The Duan family and his wife saw that it was getting late, so Cheng Yingsu was carefully helped back to Duanjiabao, which was not far from the sea, by Duan Yufan.
"Duan Lang, I have a question that I haven't been able to understand for so many years. ”
"Madame, say it"
"You said that when the sword and the sword have been practiced to the pinnacle, which of the two weapons itself will be slightly superior?"
"Let's divide it equally, under the same conditions, although the knife is slightly bulky, but the shot is ruthless and steady, although the sword seems to be insufficient, it is light and free, so it's hard to say, okay madam, the hour is not early, let's hurry up and rest!"
Strange rocks on both sides, the creek circles the mountainside, the golden light scatters the leaves, the geese fly south, the sword on the back of the horse is not out, just because the intention has not arrived, the leaves are swirling and waiting to be beside him, the sword is out of the sheath, the sword light is flying, the leaf has been cut to pieces and blown by the wind and does not know where to go. At this time, Yuan Jiashao is riding a horse and strolling in the mountain road, at this time I thought that in the morning, Yuan Jiashao came here from Lingnan, all the way to the lakes and hills, so that although it was a horse but could not gallop to the fullest, after the front col, it was a horse plain, and the speed of the trip could also be much faster.
Yuan Jiashao bypassed the mountain col and came to a small town, and saw the sign in front of the road that wrote "Twenty-five Miles", Yuan Jiashao saw the town chess cloth Xing Chen again, and thought:
"Seeing that my Great Song Dynasty is so prosperous and tight, the emperor is wide open, and the government and the opposition are clear, this is really a blessing for the people!"
Yuan Jiashao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Because the town is bustling and can not ride a horse, so get off the horse and change to lead the horse, Yuan Jiashao saw that the goods on both sides of the street are dazzling, and the types of goods sold are everything, not far away, listen to the sound of clanging bronze, look up and see the blacksmith shop inlaid with four big characters - gold inlaid iron shop, at this time, see a man come forward, see this man is the second little shop.
"Guest officer, at first glance, you are a person who practices martial arts, our shop is made of fine bronze, so it is better for the guest officer to enter the store and have a look. ”
"Shopkeeper, you really have good eyesight, I have a long sword on my back, and I look like a person who practices martial arts", Shopkeeper suddenly looked ashamed, and Yuan Jiashao followed Shopkeeper's guidance to the store.
"Boss, this heroic man is here," the shopkeeper shouted as if inviting merit and reward.
"I don't know what kind of weapons the guest officer needs," the boss said.
"Is there a sword?"
"The guest officer is really joking, where is there any sword in a small shop like ours. ”
"Who doesn't know that Zhejiang Shaoxing twenty-five miles shop since ancient times is the hometown of metallurgy, as for the treasure, Tang Zhenguan during the dragon knife is all the rage, if the boss has it, this ingot of gold is yours. ”
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with golden light when he saw the golden gold, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, but not here, who do you want to put the best sword here?"
When Yuan Jiashao heard that there was indeed a sword, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, "Where is it? You take me there!"
"It's easy to say, it's in the persimmon forest twelve miles away, I'll take the guest officer there. ”
Yuan Jiashao put the gold back in his arms and rode straight to the persimmon forest with the boss. After about an hour, Yuan Jiashao's eyes were full of forests before he met, although it was sunny now, but the forest showed a bit of gloomy, for Yuan Jiashao's half of his life, he was not afraid of him.
"Hero, there is a stream ahead, and the stream runs through the forest, and we can follow the stream to the place where the sword is hidden. ”
"You can lead the way. ”
Yuan Jiashao followed the blacksmith shop owner straight to the forest, because the forest is dense, the speed of the horse has also slowed down, about five or six miles away, there is a large open space, at this time I heard the blacksmith shop owner say, "Look there!", Yuan Jiashao looked at the place guided by the blacksmith shop owner, and suddenly heard ' 'Whoosh', Yuan Jiashao looked back again, saw that the blacksmith shop owner had disappeared, Yuan Jiashao suddenly felt that he had been deceived to this place, Yuan Jiashao looked up, and saw that one day the hemp rope net was rushing towards him, Yuan Jiashao immediately pulled out the long sword from his back, and when the hemp rope net pounced, the sword was waved in the air like a rain of swords, and the hemp rope had been cut into a lot by himself, at this moment, ten thousand long arrows suddenly appeared in the surrounding forest, and this dense arrow took advantage of the sun as if it rained into a little, and this is Yuan Jiashao. Yuan Jiashao calmly came to recruit the 'Sword Qi Protector', and all the 10,000 arrows were shot down by Yuan Jiashao one by one, but they were shot by the dark arrows behind the small arm.
At this time, Yuan Jiashao ignored the arrow, and roared angrily, "Who is the villain, you have the ability to fight with me in an upright and honest way, such behavior, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world!"
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of black-clothed people flew out of the surrounding forests, and these hundreds of black-clothed people all held long swords and pounced on Yuan Jiashao, Yuan Jiashao did not leave the horse, holding the horse rope in one hand, and fighting with a long sword in the other, less than a cup of tea, more than ten black-clothed people have been cut by Yuan Jiashao under the horse's hooves, and Yuan Jiashao still does not leave the horse, but the body of the white horse has been rendered with red blood.
Due to Yuan Jiashao's strong martial arts, more than 100 people were killed by Yuan Jiashao with one move, regardless of whether they were besieged separately or in all directions, and the white horse under Yuan Jiashao was still not moving, and then looked around the white horse, the corpse of the man in black was surrounded by a ring, and the blood was already flowing into a river, and the center of the ring-shaped corpse was Yuan Jiashao on the white horse.
One of the people in black saw that more than 100 people lost nearly half, and Yuan Jiashao still didn't move, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, thinking that "the Yellow Lion really deserves its name", so he shouted, "Withdraw!" The remaining half a hundred people heard the sound and withdrew to the rear, Yuan Jiashao moved with the man in black, pulled out the arrow of his left arm with his right hand, and threw it at the man's waist With a bang, the white horse stepped over the circle of corpses and came to the black-clothed man who fell to the ground, with a long sword to his neck, shouting
"Say, who told you to murder me!"
I saw that the man suddenly vomited blood from his mouth, and he clearly bit his tongue and committed suicide. Yuan Jiashao got off the horse and reached out to touch his inner pocket, wanting to find some clues, and sure enough, he found a meter of yellow letterhead, the skin of the letterhead was written "Qilin Society pro-Kai", opened the letterhead, only to know that it was a secret letter from the imperial court to the Qilin Society, hoping to join hands to get rid of his own trouble, and at the same time, there was a person who wanted to get rid of him at the same time, this person was Duan Yufan. At this time, Yuan Jiashao thought to himself
"Such an important message, why did you come to kill me with this letter, why didn't you give the Qilin Society to encircle and suppress me again, presumably the Qilin Society is far away, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity when he saw me on the way, not to mention that he couldn't imagine that he would die in my hands, no, I have to speed up the trip and hurry to Duanjiabao to report this information, although this letter fell into my hands, but it can't ensure that Duanjiabao is relieved of the crisis." ”
At the moment, Yuan Jiashao no longer cherished the scenery, and hurried to Duanjiabao with a whip, because of entering the Henan Yima Plain, plus a post station for two horses, so non-stop, two days to Duanjiabao.
Cheng Yingsu was standing on the second floor and was embroidering, gradually hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, looking up, seeing that the white horse dragged a man to the door, Cheng Yingsu immediately put away the embroidery, thinking that this person should be the famous Yellow Lion Yuan Jiashao, so he rushed downstairs, and heard the housekeeper say to Duan Yufan at this time
"Sir, there is a middle-aged man on a white horse outside, asking to see him. ”
Duan Yufan hurriedly got up, pulled Cheng Yingsu, who had just come downstairs next to him, and went to the door to greet him.
"Hearing the earthly yellow lion Yuan Jiashao is like thunder, I can see it today, and sure enough, the person is as his name is, and his aura is extraordinary. ”
Yuan Jiashao dismounted and arched his hand
"Tiangang Duxing is even more heroic when he sees it today, Yuan can see it, I really admire it!"
As he spoke, the two of them looked up and laughed as if heroes were attracting.
"Brother Yuan has a tired journey, Yingsu, hurry up and prepare some wine and food, I want to get drunk with Brother Yuan!" Duan Yufan said to Cheng Yingsu.
"Brother Duan doesn't have to be so polite, just get some of it. ”
"What kind of business, Brother Yuan is still the first time to come to my house, if you don't eat and drink well, and let the world laugh at me for not taking care of the guests. ”
"That's what it is. ”
"I'll go cook, young grandma, you still accompany Yuan Daxia with the master", said the cooking skills of Duan Jiabao next to him.
"Yuan Daxia is a guest from afar, or I will personally uncover the dust for Yuan Daxia," said Cheng Yingsu and walked to the back kitchen.
Just when the two were chatting happily, a table of good food and wine was served, and Yuan Jiashao, Duan Yufan and Cheng Yingsu went to the table to eat.
"Brother Yuan, now that the court is clear, the people are in an endless stream of visits, I think this emperor is not much worse than his father, I hope not to be like his father, just talk on paper. ”
"I hope so, but I heard that this emperor is a suave man, who loves calligraphy and painting treasures every day, and seduces the emperor of famous prostitutes, I just hope that I don't lose my mind with playthings!"
"Hey, yes, I think of the splendid rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, if this is the case, it is a statue of the dead country!" Duan Yufan sighed.
"Come on, drink, don't think about this, think about it and ruin the fun!" Yuan Jiashao raised the bowl and drank it with Duan Yufan.
"By the way, Brother Duan, on the way here, there was an assassin assassinating me in the twenty-five miles of Zhejiang, this is the letter I found in the arms of an assassin, this letter was sent by the imperial court to the Qilin Society, and I want to murder Brother Duan, you must be careful, the letter is here, you will know it at a glance. Saying that, Yuan Jiashao took out the beige letterhead from his arms and handed it to Duan Yufan.
Duan Yufan opened the letterhead, and Cheng Yingsu also leaned over. After reading the letter, Duan Yufan put the letter back on the letterhead and returned it to Yuan Jiashao, who took the letterhead and tore it to shreds.
"We have never had enmity with the government, so why does the emperor want to get rid of us?" said Yuan Jiashao puzzled.
"The emperor loves calligraphy and painting all day long, although he is widely open, but he is full of, where is the day when we practice martial arts, I think maybe the emperor believes in slander, so he wants to get rid of us!" Duan Yufan said.
"Hmph! I just said that this dog emperor is good, in my opinion, if you emphasize literature and ignore martial arts, the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later! Brother Duan, I heard that the Qilin Society has a recent ring competition, why don't we go and just understand the reality of the Qilin Society. ”
"I also heard about this, but I was afraid that the ring was fake, and I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd. ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, there is still some time before the ring match, I might as well go, and I will come back to inform Brother Duan as soon as there is news. ”
"Let's go, I just happened to go to Wucheng for some business, let's go! Brother Yuan, the rivers and lakes are known as the North Tiangang and the South Earth, how about we go out and have a discussion?"
"Okay, that's what I mean, let's go, Brother Duan!"
Saying that, the two of them went out of the castle and chose an open space to stand opposite each other, Cheng Yingsu also wanted to see how these two top masters competed, so he also came out and stood aside to watch quietly.
