Zhao Laohan thought for a while, and after a long time, he finally slowly spoke, and said a past story that had been hidden in his heart for many years: "You must know about the Abyss Alliance, right?"

Yin Ran said: "What the old gentleman is talking about is the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State in Lanyuan County?"

Zhao Laohan nodded slightly and said, "Exactly! Too much time has passed, this history seems to have been covered in dust, but in fact, there are still many people living in hatred." The old man's real name is Zhao Bankong, and he is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty," he said, and took out a yellowed family tree from under the table.

Zhao Laohan continued: "More than 300 years ago, it was the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State and the Liao Shengzong led a large army to the south, deep into my Song realm, under the persuasion of the prime minister Kou Zhun of the current dynasty, my Emperor Zhenzong personally drove the imperial expedition and fought a draw with the Liao State. I think that the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom must be afraid of my Great Song Shenwei, and she has to sign an alliance with my Great Song Dynasty. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, our Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State exchanged gifts and were courteous with the envoys, and there was a famine on the border of the Liao State, and my Great Song Dynasty generously donated money to provide disaster relief at the border. Zhenzong died, and Liao Shengzong also gathered the ministers of Fan Khan to mourn, and the concubines and concubines were all weeping. ”

Zhou Jinyu asked: "Since the relationship between Song and Liao is so harmonious, why do you have grudges?"

Zhao Bankong said: "Later, the Liao State was corrupted, and it was no match for the rising Jin State, and my Great Song Dynasty joined hands with the Jin State to attack the Liao State in order to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”

Zhou Jinyu said: "This is indeed the Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Bankong waved his hand and said: "No, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and my Da Song is also doing this to recover what belongs to me." ”

Zhou Jinyu saw that Zhao Bankong was so good at debating, and it was useless to say more, so he said, "Hmm... What the old gentleman said is very true!"

Zhao Bankong continued: "At that time, the general of the Liao State was Yelu Dashi, and he wanted to revive the former Liao State's majesty, but he was unable to support it alone, and was repeatedly defeated under the siege of my Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State, and finally only led more than 200 people to escape from Mobei. The man in the couple was the descendant of Nayalu Dashi. Yelu Dashi left the group training, his children and grandchildren want to be the enemy of my Zhao family, three hundred years of Yelu family and my Zhao family vendetta and grudges, grievances, hard to say. ”

Yin Ran said: "The old gentleman has always been secretive, how can he be involved?"

Zhao Bankong said: "Does the general know that the first sword in the northwest Yelu returned to Sang twenty years ago?"

Yin Ran said: "I have heard that he has superb swordsmanship and kills people invisibly, and he was famous and popular at that time. ”

Zhao Bankong said: "Yes, his sword is fast and poisonous, and his moves are deadly, and he will take his life if he is not careful. In desperation, I fought with him for a whole day and a night, and in the end I only beat him by half a move, and a sword pierced his heart. His son was only three years old at the time, and I couldn't bear to kill him, so I left him alive. Unexpectedly, his sword was much better than his father's. I was hungry that day, and I had no weapons in my hand, so I was no match for him. Fortunately, the general's nephew came to the aid and survived. ”

Zhou Jinyu said: "Does the old gentleman know the name of Yelu Huisang's son? Where does the family live? The younger generation's parents also died at his hands, and I want to seek revenge on him!"

Zhao Bankong said: "His name is Yelu Hanyan, but I don't know what his wife's name is." However, if Childe wants to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid he is not an opponent yet. After that, Zhao Bankong let out a long sigh and said, "Alas... When is the time for retribution? ”

Yin Ran said: "That being the case, the old gentleman might as well come to my house to live temporarily." If Na Yelu comes again, I am afraid that something will happen to the old gentleman. ”

Zhao Bankong said: "General Yin's kindness has been appreciated by the old man, but the old man is a descendant of the Zhao clan of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he hide in the general's mansion because he is greedy for life and afraid of death? Wouldn't it be a shame for the ancestors and make the heroes of the world laugh and shout?"

Yin Ran was about to persuade again, but Zhao Bankong waved his hand again and said: "The general doesn't need to persuade him, the old man has already entered the loess halfway, and now he has no children under his knees, and there is nothing to worry about." Life is a hundred years, but it is just a moment of brilliance, and the old decay wants to go out and walk while he can still walk. If the general really has a heart, it is better to give the old decay some entanglement. ”

Yin Ran looked at Yan Jingchen, and Yan Jingchen immediately understood, and touched five ingots of gold from his clothes and put them on the table.

Yin Ran said: "It's not a respect." ”

Zhao Bankong said: "Thank you so much to the general, I'm afraid I won't be able to spend this money in my life." ”

Yin Ran said: "I don't know when the old gentleman will leave?"

Zhao Bankong said: "There was no silver tael before, but now that I have it, I can leave if I want to." Zhao Bankong remembered that he hadn't asked Yinran about his intentions for a long time, so he asked, "I don't know if General Yin suddenly visited, what advice do you have?"

Yin Ran said: "Although Yin Ran dare not say that he is familiar with the old man, but he has several faces, I remember that the old man said that he has no children and no daughters, but it is a pity that the hand of the 'Seventy-two Swords of the Fallen Leaves and Autumn Wind', I have always wanted to find a young man with different talents to be an apprentice, and today I brought it to the old man." ”

Zhao Bankong looked at Zhou Jinyu, and then asked Yinran, "But is he?"

Yin Ran said: "Exactly, how does the old gentleman think of him?"

Zhao looked at Zhou Jinyu in the air, and did not answer. Suddenly, with a wave of Zhao Bankong's arm, a broken tea bowl was injected with Zhao Bankong's slight internal force, and flew straight from the table to Zhou Jinyu. Zhou Jinyu saw the tea bowl flying, as fast as a meteor, and it was too late to dodge. I had to take a bowl on my stomach, flew straight out of the door, and lay on the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground.

Zhao Bankong smiled: "Hahaha, no, it's too stupid." ”

Zhou Jinyu hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the mercy of the old man's subordinates." ”

Zhao Bankong said: "Haha, good boy, although you are stupid, you are honest and narrow-minded." The old man is willing to pass on my original 'Seventy-two Swords of Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves' to you. The old man used this set of swordsmanship to kill the first sword in the northwest, Yelu Huisang, and he opened his eyes and looked good. ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Bankong had already carried light power, took off, flew to the courtyard, folded a willow branch, and used all the "seventy-two swords of falling leaves and autumn wind".

This "Seventy-two Swords of Falling Leaves and Autumn Wind" sword moves are ever-changing, dazzling, sometimes blocking the waist and cutting horizontally, sometimes when the head is straight chopping, and sometimes the long sword is reversed, like the autumn wind and falling leaves, it is erratic, and there is a great sense of four or two thousand catties. Among the seven or eight positive moves, it can suddenly give birth to an oblique move, which is unpredictable. Zhao danced his sword in the air, and the dust around him was flying, and the fallen leaves were gathered, just like an autumn lament.

Zhao Bankong said his name while making a sword: "Autumn Wind Falling Leaves, Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaves, Autumn Moon Cold River, Autumn Wind Holding Fan, Leaves Falling Know Autumn, Boundless Falling Trees, Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon, One Leaf Knows Autumn, Wangqiu Xian Zero, Sheyan Qiuhong, Rin Ruo Autumn Frost...... Spring and autumn are prosperous, and the ages are eternal. "The seventy-two style swordsmanship is done in one go, and the last two moves, 'Spring and Autumn Prosperity, Eternal Autumn', are even more powerful, revealing a domineering atmosphere, which is very different from the previous seventy swords.

Zhou Jinyu saw that Zhao Bankong's swordsmanship was so unique, and under the distant autumn wind, there were killing moves hidden everywhere. I had to learn this set of swordsmanship anyway, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The junior is stupid, please teach me sire." ”

Zhao Bankong said: "What? You teach the old man to teach you again?"

Zhou Jinyu was a little embarrassed and said: "The senior's swordsmanship is too fast, and the junior is stupid and doesn't fully remember..."

Zhao Bankong said: "Haha, it's good to know that you are stupid, this sword phararen has worked hard all his life, how can you learn it in a while?" Don't embarrass the old man. ”

Yin Ran said: "Jinyu, haven't you ever thanked the master?"

Zhou Jinyu understood, kowtowed three times and said, "The master is above, and he will be worshiped by Jinyu." ”

Zhao Bankong accepted the apprentice today, and he was happy in his heart, so he used the 'Seventy-two Swords of Falling Leaves and Autumn Wind' from beginning to end, Zhou Jinyu watched intently and silently wrote it down.

At sunset, it was dusk. Yinran and Zhou Jinyu repeatedly invited Zhao Bankong to live in the house, but Zhao Bankong repeatedly refused.

Yinran knows that Jianghu people have their own temper and character, and there are some things that they insist on all their lives, and it is useless to say more. So Yinran said goodbye to Zhao Bankong, Zhou Jinyu kowtowed to the master to thank him, and the group of four turned over and galloped towards the General Soldier's Mansion.
