In the first year of Emperor Lizong of the Great Song Dynasty, the ninth year after the accession of Meng Ke of Mongolia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was early spring in February, and the Fengling ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River was noisy, with donkeys neighing and horses neighing, and the sound of human voices and cars. Recently, the weather was warm and cold, the Yellow River first thawed, and suddenly the north wind rose again, heavy snow, and the river water formed thin ice again.

There is no ferry on the water, and no car can be driven on the ice, and many guests who want to cross the river to the south are blocked in Fenglingdu and cannot set off.

Although there are a few inns on Fenglingdu, but the northbound travel is endless, within half a day, it has already been full, and the later merchants will no longer have nowhere to stay.

One of the largest inns in the town is called "Andu Old Store", which takes the color of crossing the river safely. The hall of this inn is the most wide, and the merchants who can't find the inn are all coming, crowded on the chairs next to the wine table in the lobby, crowded but can't squeeze these many people, the shopkeeper simply moved the tables and chairs, and there was a big fire in the hall. The people sat around the fire, just enough to fit it.

It was getting dark, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the two horses galloped along the river and stopped at the door of the inn. An old guest in the hall frowned and said, "Another guest is coming." ”

Sure enough, I heard a soft female voice say, "Shopkeeper, do you still have an upper room here?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your old age, the small shop is already full, and I can't make room for it." ”

The woman sighed and said, "That's the case, then we'll have to stay up all night in the hall." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I'm really sorry, I've wronged the distinguished guest." ”

The woman's voice sounded young, but it was very tolerant: "The shopkeeper is too polite, the weather is like this, it is not human's fault." ”

As she spoke, the woman pushed the door in, but it was a young girl, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that the girl's appearance was elegant and beautiful, wearing a light green satin leather jacket, and a string of pearls hung around her neck, each bead was the size of an ordinary little finger, emitting a faint halo. She was followed by a young man, also wearing a light green satin leather jacket, but it was a man's style, the young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his expression was quite rough. The merchants in the room saw that the young man and woman were very imposing, and the people who were talking were silent, and they all wanted to see where the two wanted to sit, and the one sitting at the door was already making avoidance.

The shopkeeper bowed down and said with a smile: "Miss, young master, you see, these guest officers can't find a store." If you two don't feel aggrieved, let everyone move a place, just bake a fire here, and just spend one night, Ming'er ice is solid, and you may be able to cross the river. ”

The girl smiled, and it seemed that the candle flame in the room was much brighter, and said, "Okay, don't bother too much, our sister and brother can find a place at will." ”

A middle-aged woman sitting by the fire said, "Miss, you just sit here, bake the fire, and talk about the cold." ”

The beautiful girl said, "Thank you for this aunt." ”

The man next to the middle-aged woman hurriedly moved to the side, giving way to the boss. The maiden sat down next to the woman, and the boy next to the man.

Soon after the two sat down, the shopkeeper brought the meal. The dishes were also hearty, with chicken and a large pot of white wine. The two sisters and brothers ate and drank, silently and without disturbing others. I don't know if it's the reflection of the firelight or the urge of alcohol, the girl's face is more delicate and moving.

Everyone sat around the fire, listening to the wind outside the door, and they did not feel sleepy for a while, so they passed the time by chatting again.

A man with a Shanxi accent said: "This weather is really torturous, it thaws for a while, freezes for a while, God really doesn't give people a good life." ”

A short man with a Hubei accent said: "Don't complain, we have a hot fire here to roast, a stable meal to eat, what are you fighting for? As long as you have lived in our Xiangyang siege, no matter how bitter the world is, it will become a comfortable nest." ”

The young man and woman heard the words "Xiangyang Siege", and the two glanced at each other.

A guest with a Cantonese accent asked, "May I ask my brother, what happened in the siege of Xiangyang?"

The Hubei guest said: "You have already heard of the cruelty of the Mongolian Tartars, so there is no need to say more. That year, the Mongolian army of more than 100,000 attacked Xiangyang, and the defender Lu Dashuai was a mediocre and incompetent person, but fortunately Guo Daxia and his wife fought hard to resist the enemy......"

When the young boy and girl heard the name of "Guo Daxia and his wife", their expressions moved. Listening to the Hubei guest, he continued: "The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City are also trying their best to defend it, and none of them flinched back. Like the villain, he was just a small merchant with a cart, and he also moved earth and stones, and exerted all his strength to help defend the city. The arrow scar on my face was shot at the Mongol Tartars. ”

Everyone looked at his face and saw that there was indeed an arrow the size of a cup under his left eye, and they couldn't help but be in awe.

The Cantonese guest said: "I have a lot of people in the Great Song Dynasty, if everyone is like a brother, no matter how fierce the Mongolian Tartars are, they will not be able to occupy my country." ”

The Hubei human: "Yes." You see, the Mongolian army has been attacking Xiangyang for more than ten years, and it has never been able to defeat, but other places are hand-to-hand, I heard that dozens of foreign countries in the Western Regions have been wiped out by the Mongolian soldiers, and our Xiangyang has always stood like a mountain. The Mongolian prince Kublai Khan came to the city to supervise the battle, but he couldn't help us Xiangyang people. He said with a smug look.

The Cantonese guest said: "The common people are going to fight hard with the Tartars, if the Tartars come to Guangdong, look at us Cantonese Yankees will also let them hit the streets." ”

The Hubei human: "If you don't fight with the Tartars, you will also die." The Mongol Tatars could not attack Xiangyang, so they caught the Han people outside the city, tied them under the city and beheaded them one by one, and the children of four or five, six or seven years old were tied with ropes, and let the horses pull them, dragged under the city and ran around the city, less than half a circle, and the children had already lost their breath. We heard the cries of the children in the city, and it was like a knife cutting our hearts. The Tartar can scare us into surrender by resorting to such brutal means, but the more vicious he is, the more we will defend it. That year, the grain in Xiangyang City was eaten up, and the water was gone, and even the bark and sewage were eaten and drunk later, but the Tartars never came in. Later, the Tartars had no choice but to retreat ......"

The Cantonese human: "In the past ten years, if it weren't for Xiangyang's unyielding, half of the Great Song Dynasty would have been gone." ”

Everyone asked about the situation of Xiangyang's defense of the city, and the Hubei people spoke eloquently, praising Guo Jing and Huang Rong as if they were gods, and everyone praised them endlessly. But the young brother and sister did not agree with everyone, but only drank and ate vegetables silently.

A guest with a Sichuan accent suddenly sighed: "In fact, there are good officials who defend the city everywhere, but the court does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Needless to say, Grandpa Yue in front, for example, in Sichuan, the imperial court killed several loyal ministers who defended the land. ”

The Hubei man said: "Who is that? ”

The Sichuan humanitarian: "The Mongolian Tatars have attacked Sichuan for more than ten years, thanks to Yu Jue and Yu Dashuai, and the people of Sichuan are like Yu Dashuai and Ten Thousand Families Giving Birth to Buddhas." The emperor listened to the words of the traitor Ding Daquan, saying that Yu Dashuai was arrogant and domineering, and gave him medicine and wine, forcing him to commit suicide and replacing him with a cowardly and incompetent traitor to be the marshal. Later, as soon as the Tartars attacked, northern Sichuan could not hold it on the spot. The soldiers in front of the battle will be Yu Dashuai's old department, and everyone will fight desperately. But the marshal will only flatter his superiors, and when it comes to war, he will not be able to do anything to dispatch troops, so he naturally can't resist it. Ding Daquan and Chen Dafang, a gang of traitors, sheltered the bullshit marshal, and fought against the unyielding General Wang Weizhong, who collaborated with the enemy, and actually arrested his whole family into the Beijing division and beheaded General Wang. When he said this, his voice whimpered, and everyone sighed in unison.

The Guangdong guest said indignantly: "The major affairs of the country are bad in the hands of these traitorous ministers." I heard that there are three dogs in the court, and this traitor Ding Daquan is one of them. ”

A fair-skinned young man had been listening, silent, and then interjected: "Yes, the traitors in the court are headed by Ding Daquan, Chen Dafang, and Hu Dachang. The three of them colluded with Yan Guifei to control the power, and the Lin'an people added a little to the word 'big' to their names, calling them Ding Gouquan, Chen Goufang, and Hu Gouchang, which are the three dogs raised by the concubine. The crowd laughed.

The Sichuan human: "Listen to the accent of my brother, it's a native of Lin'an, Kyoto." ”

The boy said, "Exactly." But recently something strange happened in Lin'an, and the three dogs were miserable. ”

All the people asked, "What is the strange thing?"

The young man said, "Have you ever heard of the Martial Arts Supreme?"

The Hubei man immediately said: "Of course I have heard of it, isn't that the Qian Sect Master of the Ming Sect? That is the Ten Thousand Families of the people of Xiangyang! It is a pity that his old man was killed 16 years ago." ”

The rest of the people in the hall also said that they had heard of it, but they were all slightly the same as what the people of Hubei knew. These people have been doing business in Heshuo all year round, and of course they don't know what happened in Lin'an recently.

"Tell me quickly, what's wrong with Sect Leader Qian?" "Could it be that Sect Leader Qian's old man is still alive in the world?"

The pair of sisters and brothers who had just arrived no longer drank and ate, and paid attention to this young man from Lin'an.

The young man in Lin'an said: "Who said that the Qian Sect Master was killed? He is alive and well, just a month ago, he taught the Great Song Dynasty officials a lesson in Lin'an...... Yan Guifei has become a prostitute in Qinglou, and the three dogs can't jump up......"

The words of the Lin'an boy told Qian Qingjian's astonishing behavior in Lin'an completely. The customers in the store were dumbfounded.

What is the concept of the official family? That is the Son of Heaven! What is the concept of the Supreme of Martial Arts? In this era, in people's understanding, the Supreme of Martial Arts is only the most powerful commoner. The martial arts supreme can kill traitors, remove bewitchment, and clear the king's side, but ...... Is the Martial Arts Supreme actually bigger than the Son of Heaven?

This doubt is the first reaction of every citizen who hears about this, and then they are happy for the bad luck of those traitors, and then they are glad that the Qian Sect Master, who can make the Mongolian Queen Mother lose their fear, is alive.

But the people of Xiangyang are different. Before the Hubei man could finish listening to the words of the Lin'an boy, he had already burst into tears and muttered, "The sky has eyes! Sect Master Qian is still alive!"

If Qian Qingjian had not been murdered by the enemy 16 years ago, how could this Hubei man have risked his life to run out to do some business?

After listening to Qian Qingjian's story, the green-shirted girl also had bright eyes, a yearning look on her face, and thought: This Qian Sect Master is much more powerful than her father, what kind of person is he?
