Chapter 10: The Blow of Broken Love (Part I)
After dawn, the Blood Knife Fort and the Dongting Gang set out on the road together and arrived in Yanjing at noon. After the Song and Jin joined forces to destroy the Liao, the Song Dynasty exchanged Yanjing from the hands of the Jin State for one million coins, but the Jin State returned only an empty city, and the men and women, livestock, gold and silver in the city were all pulled to the north. Not long after, the Jin Kingdom rebelled against the treaty and recaptured Yanjing, and many Jin nobles moved to Yanjing with their families, which greatly increased the prosperity of the city. The wall of Yanjing City is thirty-seven miles long, tall and thick, indestructible, and full of yellow dragon tooth flags, fluttering in the wind under the winter sun. In front of the city gate, there are heroes from all over the world, waiting for the city gate official to ask. Zhao Hengshan said: "Grandma's, what else do you ask about the competition." Yang Taidao: "Now Yanjing is mixed, and Jin Guo is afraid of chaos." ”
When the city gate official learned that they were coming to compete in martial arts, he informed them that the date of the competition was set for two days later, and that there was a 'Hero's Hall' in the city, and any sect or individual with a 'Hero's Post' could stay there. The city was densely populated, the market was thriving, and the people were mostly Han Chinese who had been taken captive, and there were a few Liao and Bohai people. The Jin country has the smallest number of people, the most respectable status, and the most Han people, but it is the most humble. However, the Jianghu guests in the city didn't care about these many, and they didn't give way to the Jin people, and the Jin people also knew that these Han people had martial arts, and they didn't dare to provoke them easily.
The "Hall of Heroes" is located on the most prosperous East Street in the city, the Hall of Heroes is four floors high, although the luxury is not as good as Fengqing Building, but it covers a wider area, which can accommodate 500 people. The inns on the whole street are full of lively heroes, and some spend money to stay in the houses, and there are voices of greetings and chats everywhere. There are also some people who carry gold and silver, and when they see the characters who hold the 'Hero Post', they go up to make friends, and offer gold and silver, hoping to pretend to be other people's disciples and get in to see it, and everyone is proud to be able to enter the 'Hero Hall', and living here has more face than any high-end inn.
There are more than 300 people living in the 'Hall of Heroes', and there are melons and fruits, snacks, tea and wine on the table, all talking and making friends. A Han attendant greeted him, and after seeing the 'hero post' of the Blood Knife Fort and the Dongting Gang, he saluted Mrs. Yang respectfully and said, "Welcome to the arrival of Master Yang, your gang's pavilion is elsewhere, let the villain lead the way." Yang Taidao: "Wait, everyone lives here, why do we want to go elsewhere?" The attendant smiled: "Yang Junshi doesn't know, all Shaolin, Zhengyi, Xiushui Palace, Huangsha City, Dongting Gang, Emei, Sword Qi Villa, Wuyue Sword Sect and other famous factions, we have arranged a unique courtyard for Xiema, just in the celebrity alley next door." Mrs. Yang frowned and said: "I came with the heroes of the Blood Sword Castle all the way, it is inconvenient to separate, why don't we go together, I don't know if we can stay?" The attendant said: "It's no problem to stay, but as soon as this example is opened, if everyone else follows suit, we will be embarrassed, and I hope that Yang Junshi will understand." Ling Junlai said with a smile: "Brother Yang, although you go, everyone is a good friend, don't mind." Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "If you want to go with you, you won't go if you don't go." It's very nice here, you don't need to change it. Seeing that he insisted so much, the attendant had to agree, and said: "The rooms on the first and second floors are full, if you want to rest, please go up to the third or fourth floor, before that, please report the candidates of your faction in this 'battle book', today is the last day of registration, tomorrow we will sort out all the heroes who have signed up, and the regulations of the competition will also be announced tomorrow night, and a banquet will be held here, please don't miss it." At that moment, the group of heroes filled out the battle book, only Yang Tai of the Dongting Gang played, and except for Ling Junlai and Ling Xue'er from participating in the Blood Knife Castle, everyone else wrote their names, which made Xue'er pout, very unhappy. When he arrived at Yue Yun, he shook his head and said, "I won't participate." ”
The heroes went back to their rooms to rest, and then went downstairs when they met for dinner. The rooms are all single rooms, not big, but very clean. Luo Tianchu changed his clothes, ran to Zhu Yushi's room next door, and said mysteriously: "The Zhengyi faction is really here, do you guess if your Yuelian sister is here." Zhu Yushi was stunned and said, "I don't know, you know?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "Of course I know, I was the last to fill out the battle book, and by the way, I flipped through the front, and just saw the list of the Zhengyi faction." Zhu Yushi said nervously: "Did you see her name?" Luo Tianchu smiled, took a sip of tea, and whetted his appetite. Zhu Yushi hurriedly said: "Say it quickly." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Of course I saw it, the names of the people are neatly written, and they look as good as they look." Zhu Yushi sighed: "Of course, I am inferior to her in martial arts." Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "If I tell you where she lives, do you dare to see her?" Zhu Yushi exclaimed: "Do you know where she lives?" Luo Tianchu said: "Didn't you listen to what the attendant said? Let's go and have a look?" Zhu Yushi groaned for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay." Luo Tianchu laughed and said, "This is like words." ”
The two opened the door, and when they saw Ling Xue'er crawling on the door and eavesdropping, Zhu Yushi was surprised: "Miss, what are you doing?" Ling Xue'er was startled, but put on a reasonable look and asked, "I was about to ask you two what you two are doing sneakily." Luo Tianchu smiled: "I'm going to take Xiao Zhu to meet his dream lover." Ling Xue'er's eyes widened and said, "What! Dream lover? Oh, I remember, it's that decent girl He, it's interesting and interesting, I'm going to go too, to see how beautiful Miss He is, which makes Xiao Zhu so obsessed." Zhu Yushi said angrily: "Forget it, it will only be bad if you go." Ling Xue'er glared and said: "What nonsense! I am your military advisor, only girls understand girls, if you don't let me go with me, I will blame me and tell you about you." Zhu Yushi never won a fight with her, so he had to agree.
The three of them walked out of the Hall of Heroes, walked half a street, and turned into a quiet alley, which was spacious and paved with blue bricks. Each mansion is far apart, and there are a dozen estates in total. The vermilion gate, the bluestone wall, the mansion is hung with large plaques of each faction, and the courtyard of the Zhengyi faction is the fourth on the left. Zhu Yushi looked at the wall and felt that there was no problem in jumping up, but when he saw Luo Tianchu knocking on the door knocker in a big way, Zhu Yushi suddenly became nervous, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing!" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "We are now the people of the Blood Knife Castle, if the flying wall enters the house and is discovered, it will not be a shame for the castle owner." Zhu Yushi thought it was a secret operation, but he thought of meeting him in a grand manner, remembering that three years ago, Tie Ying asked for his own marriage and wanted him to appear in front of everyone, but he really didn't have the courage, so he had the idea of smearing oil under his feet. Luo Tianchu knew him too well, and hurriedly said to Ling Xue'er: "That kid wants to run and grab him." Ling Xue'er grabbed his sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't be ashamed, Xiao Zhu, with us protecting you, we will definitely not let you be bullied." Zhu Yushi's face was flushed, and he said toughly: "Who wants you to protect it." ”
