The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Yun said:"Ranger can help people in danger and help those in need, but they cannot eradicate evil and eliminate evil. Only the laws of the imperial court can eradicate violence and bring peace to the good." After two sentences of dialogue, the outline of Yan Yun's thoughts was imprinted in Zhao Yuanchun's mind. She wanted to know more about him and try his methods again. Cai Xue, said:"'Therefore, failure to govern a country will lead to chaos, and abiding by the law but failing to regulate it will lead to rebellion.' Where does it come from?"

Yan Yun said:"It comes from"Lu Shi Chun Qiu·Cha Jin"》"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"'The law is punishment. Therefore, force and weapons are prohibited.' Source:

Yan Yun said:""Salt and Iron Theory·Chao Sheng""

Zhao Yuanchun said:"'Every method of using military force is the best in the whole country'"

Yan Yun Said:""Sun Tzu·Nine Changes"》"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"'Use torture to rectify the law.’"

Yan Yun knitted his sword eyebrows, blushed, and said,"This is so familiar, I can't remember it."

Zhao Yuanchun said,"This is really rare. It comes from"Yi·Meng". Yan Yun, test whether I can answer it."

Yan Yun thought for a moment and said:"The law is not noble, and the rope is not twisted.’"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"The law is not noble, and the rope is not twisted. When the law is imposed, the wise will not be able to say it, the brave will not dare to fight, the punishment will not be avoided by the ministers, and the good will not be spared by the ordinary people. From"Han Feizi·Youdu"

Yan Yun thought for a moment and said:"'The law of prohibition of killing and punishment is’"

Zhao Yuanchun said:""Guanzi·Mindshu"》"

Yan Yun was so anxious that he was sweating and couldn't think of anything.

Zhao Yuanchun came to his rescue and said:"Don't use the word 'fa' to allusion, change the word."

Yan Yun thought for a while and said:"Ye-ye, let's use 'night'," Xunyangjiang saw off guests on the first night’"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Bai Juyi's"Pipa Xing"》"

Yan Yun said:"'When you sing at night, you should feel the moonlight and the cold Tang Dynasty.’"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"'In the morning mirror, I am worried about the clouds on my temples, and when I sing at night I feel the moonlight is cold.'" From Li Shangyin's"Untitled"》"

Yan Yun came up with two sentences, with a face full of shame; first, they were competing on classics, but his question was a sentence from a Tang poetry; second,"In the morning mirror, I am worried about the clouds on my temples, and I feel the moonlight is cold when I chant at night." 'It writes about the haggard, painful and depressing emotion of love. It is a kind of lingering and lingering emotion that circulates day and night. It is a painful and persistent heart song. Facing the princess and reciting the lovesickness poem, is this not for the princess? The blasphemy of the Lord. Yan Yun was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly said:"Princess! You are so talented and intelligent, but you are so talented. I am so ashamed, so ashamed!"

Zhao Yuanchun knew that Yan Yun did not mean to be frivolous, but he felt that"Xiao Jing is worried about the change of his temples, and he is singing at night." You should feel the moonlight is cold." It was inappropriate. His cheeks flushed with shame. He tried his best to resolve the awkward atmosphere and said hurriedly:"Yan Yun - smart and wise, talented. People make mistakes and horses have slippery hoofs. It's just a moment of nervousness. To you, don't be ashamed."

Yan Yun was deeply impressed by Zhao Yuanchun's talents and admiration. He was grateful to her for her understanding and timely resolution of the awkward atmosphere. She didn't know what to say for a while, so she straightened up, looked up at the night sky, and took a deep breath to relieve herself. The embarrassment in my heart.

In order to eliminate the embarrassment, Zhao Yuanchun said:"Have you ever seen me, Zhuangshi Yan?"

Yan Yun said:"The princess is a lady in the prime minister's palace. It has not been long since Yan Yunnan's official came to the capital. I have never seen the princess before."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"In You came to the rescue on the top of Guyueling cliff, how could you conclude that I am Zhao Yuanchun?"

Yan Yun said:"I didn't know you were the princess at that time. How could I not save a woman who committed suicide when I saw her?"

Yan Yun mentioned that Zhao Yuanchun committed suicide.. Zhao Yuanchun was very embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic and said:"Zhuangshi Yan must have killed many big insects before. He was not afraid of danger on the top of the cliff, calm and calm, and killed the big bugs with one palm. He is really a god!"

Yan Yun said:" Princess, please don’t say that! I’m so ashamed of myself. I’ve never seen a big insect before and killed many of them. When I saw the big insect on the top of the cliff, I was so frightened that I lost my mind. I wanted to run away quickly, but how could I not see death?"Save me, I managed to kill that big insect by accident, I still feel frightened when I think about it." He looked frightened.

Zhao Yuanchun stared at him and said:"Are you really sure at all?"

Yan Yun said:"Really, not at all sure. You are not even half sure about killing the big insect. If you are lucky enough to kill it, you are 90% sure when you carry it over the cliff - Alas! If it hadn't been for the Feizhu Bailiansuo given by Uncle Wu (Miao Yanjun), the princess would have been shattered to pieces." She beat her chest and stamped her feet,"Youngster is so incompetent!" He walked closer to the stream and found the Feizhu Bailiansuo. Shake off the tree section on the flying grasp, wrap the flying grasping rope around your waist, and return to the campfire.

Zhao Yuanchun felt a little numb from sitting, slowly stood up, slowly moved his legs and feet, thinking: Yan Yun rescued him not only to complete the errand of Nanya, but also to sacrifice his life for justice, and he was a chivalrous and courageous man; he couldn't suppress the admiration that sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. Wanting to know more about Yan Yun, he said:"The brave man Yan sacrificed himself to save others and ignored life and death. It is rare in the world. If something happened, wouldn't it be a disaster for his wife?"

Yan Yun said:"Fortunately, Yan Yun is alone, and there is no thought of" The mother at home paused,"Concerned - concerned."

Seeing Yan Yun's evasive words, Zhao Yuanchun thought that he was hiding his wife, so it was inconvenient to ask. He thought for a while and said:"A gallant man, a hero, has the sufferings of the world in his heart." Can you be called a gallant and a hero by ignoring your wife and family in times of crisis?"

Yan Yun said:"I'm ashamed of myself. The commander-in-chief taught me rightly. For the sake of my mother, I can no longer risk my life."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"There is only one thing in my heart. Even if my mother has no wife, she can still be called a gallant and a hero, right?"

Yan Yun said,"In addition to my mother, I——"After a pause,"Except for my mother, I am alone."

Seeing his vague words, Zhao Yuanchun deduced that he was covering up something:"Besides the royal family, there must be relatives?"

Yan Yun thought of his brother Yan Feng, and suppressed his anger, and said coldly:"Also There is a younger brother."

Zhao Yuanchun learned that he did not have a wife. An indescribable joy rose from the bottom of his heart, but his expression was as if nothing had happened. He said:"Like a brother, there must be a younger brother. Your younger brother must be a brave and chivalrous person like you. Scholar."

Yan Yun hesitated and said:"He - he——"

In order to conceal the joy in his heart, Zhao Yuanchun asked with concern:"How is he?"

Yan Yun said:"He - he is dead."

Zhao Yuanchun deduced that he must have something to hide, and said:"Forgive me, Master Yan! I mentioned something that makes you sad. In order to get rid of the distressed Yan Feng, Yan

Yun said:"It doesn't matter. The firewood is almost gone, chop some small ones." He drew out the Qinglong Sword and chopped down the firewood next to the bonfire.

Zhao Yuanchun was immersed in joy and thought: This is the real Yan Yun, not only talented in civil and military affairs, but also chivalrous and courageous, brave and righteous. If he becomes a close friend, this life will be worthwhile, if he becomes..., thinking about it, his face turns red with shame. , subconsciously turned his head and looked into the distance to resolve the shame in his heart. Suddenly, a big python came towards Zhao Yuanchun with its bloody mouth raised. Zhao Yuanchun was trembling with fear and screamed:"Yan Yun! Save me!" Instinctively, he ran and jumped into Yan Yun's arms.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yun hurriedly dropped the firewood and sword in his hands, and the python came immediately, opening its bloody mouth to swallow him alive. Yan Yun hurriedly opened his arms and held the python's bloody mouth with both hands. Zhao Yuanchun was so frightened that his whole body went limp and his limbs were weak. He released his hands holding Yan Yun tightly and fell to the ground with a"plop".

The python couldn't swallow Yan Yun alive, so it twisted its body to wrap around Yan Yun, getting tighter and tighter. Yan Yun used enough strength to hold on, and once he took a breath, the python was wrapped tightly around him. Yan Yun tried his best to hit a boulder not far away that was as straight as a knife. There was a loud"bang" and the python's head was hit. The python lost its strength and opened its mouth. Yan Yun quickly took out the flying claw from his waist and stabbed it hard into the python's jaw."Poof" the python's lower jaw was pierced by the flying claw, and the snake's blood spurted out. The python rolled and curled up and stretched on the ground in pain. Yan Yun quickly picked up the Green Dragon Sword on the ground and slashed at the python crazily. The eight-foot-long python was cut into dozens of pieces. The python's blood spattered him all over, like a bloody man. Yan Yun just held on and stood there with his sword in hand. Fear made him shout wildly,"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-！"

Zhao Yuanchun was awakened from coma and stood up tremblingly. Looking at the bloody man in front of him, he concluded that it was Yan Yun and shouted:"Yan Yun! Yan Yun!"

Yan Yun stopped shouting and stood there blankly. He was still stunned. Resurrection.

When Zhao Yuanchun saw him looking like a ghost, how could he not be afraid? What's the use of being afraid. At the moment, he could only stabilize the frightened man as soon as possible. He didn't know what danger was waiting for them at a certain moment. He said:"Yan Yun! That beast has been killed." You were cut into pieces and can be handed over to Nan Ya immediately."

Yan Yun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed wildly,"Haha -! The python was killed by me, killed by me, killed by me! Nan Ya, look Yan Yun went up the mountain to kill tigers, came down the mountain to slay dragons and hunt golden eagles on the cliffs. What a hero! If Yan Yun is given the Fang Sword, he will definitely kill all the abusive officials and cruel officials in the world, and avenge the wronged people in the world."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Nanya You will definitely be able to recognize heroes with your sharp eyes, and your ambition of holding the moon in the sky will definitely come true."

A gust of cold wind woke up Yan Yun, and said:"Shame! I am as timid as a mouse. I was scared out of my wits by that beast and started talking nonsense."The princess was frightened!" He said, walking to the stream, taking off his shirt and throwing it on the ground, then jumped in to wash away the blood all over his body.

Zhao Yuanchun gained a lot. He saw a more real him. He was a human being, and he would be scared to death. He heard the heart-rending cry in his heart, and got a glimpse of his ambition to hold the moon in the sky. No matter whether he could realize it or not, Zhao Yuanchun admired him deeply. She walked to the stream and picked up his shirt and washed it in the stream.

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"Princess - Princess Jinzhi Jade Leaves, you can't use it!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Now we are both fallen people from the end of the world, don't talk about so many etiquette."

Yan Yun was no longer polite and said:"Thank you, Princess It's over." Walking to the shore, he added the firewood he had just chopped to the extinguishing bonfire again and again, and thick smoke slowly rose from the fire.

Zhao Yuanchun put the dried clothes on the tree stand on his shoulders, spread the washed clothes and put them on the tree stand.

Yan Yun's bare back was covered in scars, with old and new wounds criss-crossing him. A gust of mountain wind made him shiver. Zhao Yuanchun stepped forward quickly and put the dried clothes on her.

Yan Yun said hurriedly:"Princess, you can't do it! I'm used to being in water and fire. It's cold in autumn. If it gets cold, Princess, what should I do? Princess, please put it on quickly."

Zhao Yuanchun held down his hand. He held his arm and said:"The princess is cold and Yan Yun takes care of her. If Yan Yun is cold, what will happen if the beast comes again!"

Yan Yun was about to refuse and said:"It's okay, I can handle it."

Zhao Yuanchun said with a firm tone. :"No! I still have clothes to keep out the cold, you must put them on. We can't let one of us get cold. We don't know how many hardships are waiting for us ahead."

Yan Yun no longer refused. The two sat by the campfire to keep warm. Yan Yun was afraid that she would be attacked by ferocious beasts again, so he did not dare to stay far away, and stayed three feet away from her. The two of them were so hungry that they grumbled.

Yan Yun stood up and said,"Young and princess, let's go out for some food!"

Zhao Yuanchun said,"There's no need to look for it. This python meat can satisfy your hunger by roasting it over the fire."

Yan Yun couldn't hide it when he heard"python" A quickie.

Zhao Yuanchun smiled and said:"You are not afraid of a living python, but you are afraid of a dead one. Are you afraid that it will get up and bite you again."

Yan Yun held back his fear and said:"I am ashamed, the princess is laughing. That beast is alive. It's so ferocious that the little one can't be afraid. We have to kill it with all our strength, otherwise we will both become prey in its belly."

Zhao Yuanchun also shuddered. The two of them were so hungry now that they couldn't get out of this barren mountain without eating some food. Ye Gu stood up and plucked up the courage, saying:"It took so much effort to get it cheaper!"

Yan Yun stood up, drew out the Qinglong Sword, and shaved off the python skin. Zhao Yuanchun was beside him to help, threading the snake meat on the sword and branches. Bake on the campfire. For about half an hour, the two of them sat down, eating snake meat, talking about the past and the present, discussing poems and songs, the Four Books and the Five Classics, various schools of thought, and military strategies. They talked about the generals of the past dynasties. It means meeting each other too late.

Although Yan Yun's talent and learning were slightly inferior to Zhao Yuanchun's, Zhao Yuanchun felt that no one was perfect, and no one was barefoot. It was rare for Yan Yun, who was superb in martial arts, to have such literary talent, and he admired him endlessly. Zhao Yuanchun is well-educated and talented, his every word is exquisite, and his voice is soft and pleasant. Yan Yun was mesmerized by what she heard, and her whole body fell into admiration. Her voice, smile, frown, gestures, and every move were deeply imprinted in Yan Yun's mind. When she is next to him, he feels that everything is radiant, and his whole life is bathed in the joy of youth. This shows that it is not just the love between friends.

The firewood in the bonfire was burning loudly, and the bonfire became more and more prosperous, making Zhao Yuanchun's cheeks red, Yan Yun's eyes, and the valley red. Yan Yun was completely immersed in Zhao Yuanchun's words and stared at her intently.

"The military god Wu Qi was in the state of Chu. He was diligent in government affairs, strengthened the army and benefited the people, purged the government and the opposition, and promulgated new laws. The soldiers of the state of Chu were strong in the world, conquered the east and west, and defeated the states of Wei, Wu, Qin, Qi, and Lu. , half of the princes in the world were defeated by him. He fought in more than 120 battles, big and small, without losing a single one. However, he was confident in killing his wife and spent money to seek an official position. His mother died without returning." Zhao Yuanchun talked eloquently, his tongue was like a lotus flower, and he looked at Yan Yunchi. He stared at himself and stopped shyly.

Yan Yun was listening intently, but he still had something to say and urged:"Speak! Princess, tell me."

Zhao Yuanchun paused for a moment and said:"Oh! What do you think of Wu Qi?"

Yan Yun gritted his teeth and said:"You will win by any means, you will kill hard but you are utilitarian, you are talented but not moral, and you will become a military god in vain. I would rather be mediocre for the rest of my life than imitate Wu Qi."Admiring her to the point of selflessness, he still stared at her intently.

Although Zhao Yuanchun admired him in his heart, Yan Yun stared at her intently, which made her feel shy. She wanted to remind him but was afraid of hurting him, so she had to raise her head and cast her gaze into the deep night sky..

Yan Yun was so engrossed that he didn’t realize it, so he said:"Speak, Princess, speak!"

Zhao Yuanchun's answer was not what he asked, and he said:"Alas! After the autumnal equinox, the days are so short and the nights are so long."It has a profound meaning. It means: Yan Yun will break up with him after completing the errand of Nan Ya. Although they are both in Kyoto, they are far away from each other. I am afraid that there will never be a free conversation tonight. I lament the short time of getting along with Yan Yun.

Yan Yun is fine Savoring it carefully, I thought she was lamenting the sadness and hardship of tonight, and said:"Princess, don't be sad. No matter how long the nightclub is, as soon as the day breaks, the young one will escort the princess and set off. It won't be long before we meet the two princesses."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"After finishing this errand, what are your plans?""

Yan Yun said:"Serve Nanya wholeheartedly as an errand, make great achievements, get promoted to higher positions, and gradually become a high official in the Ministry of Punishment, killing all the abusive officials and cruel officials in the world. He said with an awkward smile,"Princess, don't laugh!" The little one is dreaming. Zhao

Yuanchun wanted to further test his character and said:"I would like to recommend you to my father and guarantee you a position in the Ministry of Punishment. With my father's cultivation, it will not be difficult to be promoted to an official position. Your dream is no longer a dream.""

Yan Yun said:"Thank you very much, Princess, for your kindness. Please worry about the minor insecurity. The young man is willing to live in Guizhou for the rest of his life, and will never speculate or seek business."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Without the help of noble people, how long will it take to turn the dream into reality?"
