Zhao Yuanchun said:"Hu Zan, Yan Yun didn't come from the back mountain, did he fall from the sky!" Looking back at Yan Yun, he bowed his head and bowed his hands in salute:"Miss, thank Yan Yun for saving his life!"

Yan Yun hurriedly bowed. He returned the gift and said:"The princess must not do it! It's all my fault that the little one came late, so the princess was so frightened. It's a sin, it's a sin!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Yan Yun shouldn't blame himself, he came at the right time, otherwise the girl I became the big insect's meal."

Hu Zan and others asked in confusion:"Big insect, where is the big insect?"

Zhao Yuanchun pointed to the dead tiger lying on the ground not far away and said,"That was killed by Yan Yun.

Hu Zan and others hurried over to take a look, and found that the dead tiger had no traces of wounds from swords and arrows. They all exclaimed,"Ah! You killed this five to six hundred kilogram big insect with your bare hands." Hu

Zan ran over and approached. He looked Yan Yun up and down and said,"You, are you a human?"

Yan Yun said,"How could you not be a human being?"

Hu praised,"You are a human being. Not to mention killing that big insect, I was scared to death."

Yan Yun said:"I am also scared. I am really helpless. If that big insect doesn't hurt anyone, I can't hide in a hurry. How can I dare to provoke him?"

Hu Zan sighed to himself,"Oh! As a follower, Hu The fifth-grade military official and the general of the cavalry are really a vegetarian, and he has the nerve to be called the 'white-faced little overlord'.’!"

Yan Yun comforted and said:"General Hu, don't blame yourself. I have no choice but to do it. It's just a fluke.

It's a fluke." Zhao Yuanchun had a good impression of this savior who was extremely skilled, respectful and obedient to himself and others. Hu Zan and others saw the severed white silk ribbon under the big camphor tree and the sword nailed to the tree branch. They deduced what had happened. They all knew that the princess was very strong and no one would tell the truth.

Hu praised:"We haven't had a full meal in days. Yanyun prepared a tiger feast for us as soon as he arrived. What a blessing! What a blessing!" Then he ordered his entourage to carry the tiger to the camp.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"General Hu, please leave first. Yan Yun and I will arrive shortly." Hu Zan accepted the promise and left.

Yan Yunfei took off the Qinglong Sword from the branch of the big camphor tree, picked up the white silk on the ground and stuffed it into his luggage. Zhao Yuanchun asked Yan Yun how he came to Guyue Ridge, and Yan Yun briefly told the journey from Bianliang in Tokyo to Guyueling. Of course, he would not tell about his private life-long decision with the second princess.

Yan Yun said:"The princess goes to Mount Tai to offer incense and travel in a simple carriage. Logically speaking, she will not attract the attention of the grass bandits in Centipede Mountain. How did she become so dangerous?" I heard the second princess Zhao Yuanrong said,"My sister is elegant and dignified, has both talent and virtue, and is virtuous." He is smart, has a peaceful temperament, and is never ostentatious in his actions."

How did Zhao Yuanchun get trapped in Guyue Ridge by strong thieves?

Zhao Yuanchun's mother, the wife of the prime minister Zhao Pu, the king of Hancheng County, suffered from qi tuberculosis. She was depressed and depressed all day long. After several treatments by countless famous doctors, it finally failed to work. Zhao Yuanchun went to Dongyue Taishan to offer incense to pray for his mother. Zhao Pu sent the prime minister's palace post officer Ranger General"White-faced Little Overlord" Hu Zan, the prime minister's military commander"Golden-haired Suan Ni Sick Qin Qiong" Li Kedu, and the prime minister's minister"fight" They were escorted by"Tiger Taibao" Xi Kui, Zhao Yuanchun's personal maid Chunrong, and more than 20 people from the new school who were outstanding in martial arts from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After going to Mount Tai in Dongyue for incense and returning to Beijing, we passed by Zhangzhou and the sun was already setting. We stayed at the Hongni Inn. Zhao Yuanchun was an extremely meticulous person. Along the way, she warned her entourage not to use the Prime Minister's name to disturb the prefecture and county officials. This Zhangzhou was once the place where her father had served, so she was even more cautious. During the third watch, she took her maid Chunrong to check on her entourage. Whether he went out to have fun or not, he found that Li Ke, the military commander of the Xiangfu Palace, was not in the guest room. He waited for a long time before seeing him come back, so he went back to the room to rest for the night without saying anything.

The next day, after washing and eating in the morning, Zhao Yuanchun and his party set off. An hour later, they arrived at the foot of Langya White Tiger Mountain. Suddenly they heard the sound of gongs on the mountain, and two hundred soldiers rushed down the hillside surrounded by two mountain kings. The mountain king rushed down the hillside, and his minions lined up on both sides with weapons in hand.

A mountain king rides a peach blossom horse, with a thin waist tied to his arms, a face like white paper, long eyebrows and squinting eyes. He is about 20 years old. He has three righteous crowns on his head, a peach blossom in the crown, a golden ring and jade, and hundreds of flowers on his body. The robe is made of brocade flowers, the armor is covered with thousands of fire dragon scales, a red agate belt is tied, and a sharp sword hangs from the waist; under the crotch is a peach blossom horse, and in the palm is a bright silver halberd. The majestic figure is like the rebirth of Lu Fengxian, the Marquis of Wen in the late Han Dynasty. This is none other than Wang Rong, the leader of the Langya Baihu Mountain, the"Silver Halberd Invincible Peach Blossom Little Wenhou", of the Zhengnan Village of the Three Mountains and Eighteen Villages under Chen Xin's Centipede Mountain.

Another mountain king is sitting on an iron-green horse. He is tall and tall. He wears a pointed dry green concave scarf on his head, a branch of silk elephant flower on his temples, a green robe with a tiger body and velvet embroidered with gold, and a wolf-shaped robe tied around his waist. The body is covered with gold, the belly is red and the arms are red. He wears a pair of cowhide boots with cloud-covered heels, and holds a mountain ax in his hand. This is Wang Xijie, the second village leader of Langya Baihu Mountain,"Kaishan Yaksha".

Wang Rong shouted:"My lord princess! Your husband, 'Silver Halberd Invincible Peach Blossom Little Wenhou' Wang Rong is here. If he doesn't get off the sedan chair to serve, how long will he wait ?" Hearing the rage, he shouted:"Hey! How bold and shameless are the grass bandits! They dare to rob even though they know the princess of Xiangfu, and they don't care about life or death! 'White-faced little bully' Hu Zan will send you to see the King of Hell." He danced with his painting stick and traced the golden halberd, sat down on his horse, Take Wang Rong directly. Wang Rongting fought with a bright silver halberd in his hand. The two fought for three to five rounds, and Hu Zan's robe was torn off by Wang Rong's bright silver halberd. Li Ke, the"golden-haired Suan Ni sick Qin Qiong" of the Military Department of the Prime Minister's Office, was holding an iron-pointed steel gun and patted his horse to help in the battle. Hu Zan and Li Ke both fought Wang Rong for seven or eight rounds, and it was difficult to win.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanchun got off the sedan and changed into horses, and ordered his followers to retreat to Zhangzhou. Wang Xijie, the leader of the second village of Langya Baihu Mountain,"Kaishan Yaksha", led some minions to block the return route of Zhao Yuanchun and others. Zhao Yuanchun's entourage were all warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles and were brave enough to fight ten, but in the end they were outnumbered. Zhao Yuanchun urgently ordered Xi Kui, the"Tiger Fighting Taibao" of the Prime Minister's Office, to break out of the siege and return to Zhangzhou to seek help. Xi Kui, the"Tiger Fighting Taibao", fought with Gao Qiong, the"Kaishan Yaksha", for three to five rounds with his iron stick, then feinted with his stick and rushed to Zhangzhou. Wang Xijie did not pursue him and led his men to block the path of Zhao Yuanchun and others. Under the vigorous protection of his entourage, Zhao Yuanchun fought and retreated towards Zheyun Mountain. The mountain road was rugged, so he abandoned his horse and headed straight to Guyueling. Hu Zan and Li Ke both fought desperately to resist Wang Rong. When they saw Zhao Yuanchun walking away, they retreated while fighting. Then they each lost their horses and followed Zhao Yuanchun up Guyue Ridge. Wang Rong and Gao Qiong led their minions to surround Guyue Ridge in Zheyun Mountain.

Xi Kui, the"tiger-fighting security guard" of the prime minister's office, returned to Zhangzhou's Yamen alone to show his identity. How could Yao Shu, the magistrate of Zhangzhou, dare to neglect him? He bowed before and after, and entertained him hospitably. Yao Shu, the magistrate of Zhangzhou, was originally the magistrate of Zhenzhou. He was transferred to the magistrate of Zhangzhou for more than a year. He was corrupt and perverted the law. His governance was like a wolf herding sheep, knocking the bones and sucking out the marrow of the people. He was as fearful of the enemy as a tiger to the centipedes and mountain bandits. He was ridiculed by the prime minister's official"Tiger-killing Taibao" Kui asked for help, bit the bullet, beat the drums and gathered the crowd, and ordered two thousand troops led by Zhangzhou's military commander Hongbao, Tuanlian Yujun, and Tuanlian Gongzu to attack Zheyun Mountain. Before they reached the bottom of the mountain, they were attacked by Centipede Mountain who came to help. The five hundred minions led by Chen Xin, the great king"Xiao Meng Shang Sai Bian Que" and the second great king Yuanda were defeated. Tuan Lian Yujun and Tuan Lian Gong were killed by Chen Xin and Yuanda. The governor of the capital, Hongbao, fled back to Zhangzhou alone. Yao Shu, the magistrate of Zhangzhou, was scolded bloody by Xi Kui, the"tiger-fighting security guard" of the prime minister's office. The local emperor Yao Shu, the magistrate of Zhangzhou, who usually dominated Zhangzhou, could barely bear the scolding and dared to speak out to protest. Xi Kui was just a ninth-rank official in the prime minister's family, and Yao Shu was an imperial official of the seventh rank. Xi Kui was fourth or fifth rank, but the servants of the prime minister's mansion were more than seventh-rank officials. Yao Shu'an dared not tolerate shame. Under Xi Kui's endless scolding, Yao Shu dispatched troops to Zheyun Mountain three times to rescue the siege, but they were all defeated and defeated by the green forest and grass bandits from the three mountains and eighteen villages led by Chen Xin. Xi Kui, the"tiger-fighting security guard" of the prime minister's office, was so anxious that he jumped up and down in anger. He beat Yao Shu until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he cursed endlessly:"Yao Shu is a bastard! He still has the nerve to wear this official uniform and be in charge of a prince." Thousands of heroes were actually frightened and beaten to death by mere bandits. They were greedy for money and lustful, spoiling the imperial court's goods! The Prime Minister's commander-in-chief has some good things and two bad things. Xi Mou will cut you to pieces with thousands of knives and smash your bones into ashes! -"Yao Shu let Xi Kui scold and beat him like a dead dog. When Xi Kui was tired of beating and scolding, he offered him a cup of tea and said shamelessly:"Sir, please have a cup of tea. This Yunwu tea is Yunqi water. Take a break, don't get too angry! Take a break and come back to lecture me."

Xi Kui took a sip of tea, sprayed it on Yao Shu's face, and cursed:"You bastard! You're really corrupt. , Not to mention this Yunwu tea, a jar of Yunqi water transported thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River to Zhangzhou is worth a thousand taels of silver. It can be said to be jade liquid and fine nectar. My prime minister does not dare to ask about it, but you will enjoy it! It will definitely be The money appropriated by the imperial court for suppressing bandits was used to enrich his own pockets."

Yao Shu was horrified, and kowtowed:"The superior officer clearly observed! I am wronged, I am wronged!" Then he took out a duck-egg-sized luminous pearl from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

Xi Kui had never seen such a rare treasure before. He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The bead was"bright and bright, connecting the inside and outside, and the clear light seemed to shine in the crystal palace." He put it in his arms and pressed it, saying,"Xi knows very well that Yao It is not easy to be an official in Zhizhou. There are bound to be bandits in the high mountains and thieves in the steep mountains. The poor mountains and bad water in Zhangzhou are plagued by bandits and disasters. It is indispensable to be able to manage Zhangzhou like this. Yao Zhizhou is not that Xi is unkind and the princess of the Prime Minister. We have been besieged by strong bandits in Zheyun Mountain for many days. If something unexpected happens, your life and mine will be hard to save!"

Yao Shu said:"Shangchai! I know the importance of the stakes, but I am not incompetent. Shangchai doesn't know something, and it doesn't take a day to freeze three feet. What a cold! The previous Zhizhou's slackness in military affairs caused Zhangzhou's Xiang army to practice drills for a long time, making them vulnerable."

Xi Kui said:"Xi understands Yao Zhizhou's difficulties, and the prime minister will also sympathize with Yao Zhizhou's difficulties in the future. But what is the top priority? Rescue the princess in Zheyun Mountain?"

Yao Shu said:"I have sent three groups of messengers to send the 'Six Hundred Miles Urgent' to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Tokyo. Soon the Prime Minister will send elite soldiers and generals to rescue the princess. Please be patient and don’t be impatient!"

Besides, Zhao Yuanchun, Hu Zan, Li Ke and all their entourage were forced to go to Guyue Ridge on Zheyun Mountain. The roads in Guyueling are dangerous. The winding and narrow paths more than ten feet high are difficult for one man to pass and ten thousand others cannot pass. Hu Zan and Li Ke both led their followers to defend the Guyueling Pass relying on bows, arrows, rolling logs and stones. Wang Rong and Gao Qiong led the minions to attack for several days. The attack failed for a long time, and dozens of minions were killed or injured. Chen Xin, the king of Centipede Mountain, sent an order to stop attacking the mountain and ordered the minions from the three mountains and eighteen villages to surround Guyueling.

Zhao Yuanchun and his party were besieged for more than half a month. It was very difficult. They had to make beds with the sky and quilt on the ground, and slept in the open air. They ate wild vegetables, birds and rabbits to satisfy their hunger, and they fed themselves every meal. More than half of the guards Zhao Yuanchun died in battle and were poisoned by eating wild vegetables. Zhao Yuanchun thought: All the followers are hungry, exhausted, and half-dead. If the grass bandits at the foot of the mountain attack the mountain, how can the followers resist? It would be better to die to avoid being humiliated by the grass bandits. Thinking of this, Hu Zan, Li Kedu, Chun Rong and other entourage were unprepared, so they quietly walked into the depths of the forest, found a big camphor tree, found a stone to stand on, and removed the clothes from their clothes. Pull off a piece of white silk and hang it on a tree branch, tie it with a knot, put your head in, and kick away the stones under your feet. Suddenly, he was rescued by Yan Yun.

Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun came out of the forest. Hu Zan, Chun Rong and a few followers roasted the skinned tiger. Chunrong hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Yuanchun and cried:"Princess, my slave failed to protect the princess, damn it, slave!"

Zhao Yuanchun helped her up and said:"Sister Chunrong doesn't care about your business, don't blame yourself."

Hu praised. :"Princess, wait a moment, the tiger meat will be roasted and ready for consumption."

Not long after, Hu Zan used his sword to cut off a piece of tiger meat for Zhao Yuanchun to enjoy.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Let's eat quickly. After eating, we will go back to the military commander Li Ke who is guarding the crenel to wait for others to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums under the ridge, and the sound of killing was heard in the sky."Kill on Guyue Ridge, alive." Bird Zhao Yuanchun! Live bird Zhao Yuanchun!"

Everyone was shocked.

Yan Yun wondered: Could it be that his second brother Chen Xin broke his promise and ordered an attack on the mountain? How could these exhausted followers resist?

It was said that drums were beating loudly at the foot of the ridge, and the sound of killings was heard in the sky."Kill on Guyue Ridge, live bird Zhao Yuanchun! Live bird Zhao Yuanchun!"

Everyone was shocked. The exhausted Hu Zan, his entourage, and maid Chunrong looked at each other.

Zhao Yuanchun looked at Yan Yun with a resolute expression. Yan Yun was not sure whether he could hold Gu Yueling, so he forced himself to calm down and said:"When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it with soil!" This sentence gave everyone reassurance.

Zhao Yuanchun ordered Hu Zan and others:"You must obey Yan Yun's orders and do not disobey."

Hu Zan and others regarded the tiger-fighting hero Yan Yun as their backbone and backbone, and kept promising.

The situation was urgent, and Yan Yun stopped being polite and said,"Chunrong is here to protect the princess. Yan Yun and two of his entourages will fight with General Hu to drive back the grass bandits."

Hu Zan led the way, followed closely by Yan Yun and his two entourages, heading towards The military commander of the Prime Minister's Office,"Golden-haired Suan Ni Disease Qin Qiong" Li Kedu and others, were guarding the Guyueling crenel as fast as flying. Zhao Yuanchun could not stay still, and he and his maid Chunrong followed closely behind.

Hu Zan, Yan Yun and others came to the Guyueling crenel. Military Commander Li Ke and other ministers' entourage were so hungry that they were dizzy, weak and frightened. Yan Yun quickly walked to the crenel and looked down the mountain."Silver Halberd Invincible Peach Blossom Little Wenhou" Wang Rong led a hundred and ten minions, each with their swords raised, waving flags and shouting to attack the mountain.

Yan Yun said to Hu Zan:"General Hu, please lend me your precious bow."

Hu Zan picked up the bow and took the arrow and handed it to Yan Yun

"The golden-haired Suan Ni is sick Qin Qiong." Li Ke said without even scratching his head:"Where did this sick man come from! No matter how thick the sky is, General Hu can even open his bow!"

Yan Yun ignored him, nocked an arrow and opened his bow. His left hand was like holding Mount Tai, and his right hand was like holding a baby. He opened the bow like a full moon, and the arrow went like a shooting star. He shot toward Wang Rong down the mountain. How could the arrogant Wang Rong lift it up? There was a"whoosh" sound. , shot his Sanyi crown and a lock of hair with an arrow, and nailed it to the flagpole a dozen steps behind him with a clang. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his bones were cold and his hair stood on end. He panicked and hurriedly led his followers back to the camp.

Yan Yun could have killed Wang Rong with one arrow, but he showed mercy because of the kindness of his second brother Chen Xin. When

Li Ke and other ministers' entourage guarding the pass saw this, they were all amazed. How could they dare to look down on this sick man again

? The princess Zhao Yuanchun and the maid Chunrong also came to the entrance and were very puzzled when they could not hear the shouts from the minions at the foot of the mountain.

Li Ke was ecstatic and said:"Princess, princess! The gang of thieves at the foot of the mountain were shot away by this sick man with an arrow."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Li Junsi, please don't talk nonsense. This is Yan Yunyan Huailong, the strong man in front of Nanya, who is here to rescue us."

Li Kedu saluted carefully.

Hu Zan, Li Kedu, maid Chunrong and other entourage followed Zhao Yuanchun's instructions and returned to the camp to have a meal.

Yan Yun said:"Princess, please feel at ease and go back to have a meal. Yan Yun will be on guard here, and the thieves will not be able to get in." ridge."

Zhao Yuanchun had not eaten a full meal for several days and was already hungry. Seeing Yan Yun's bravery, he no longer felt hungry. He said:"Yan Yun is guarding me, so I feel relieved. When the soldiers come back after eating, you and I can go back and eat."

Yan Yun said:"The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. If you are hungry, please tell Yan Yun how to go back and deliver the errands. I hope the princess will go back and have some food."

Zhao Yuanchun:"It doesn't matter." I have no doubt that Yanyun's martial arts skills are superb, but it may not be easy to rescue dozens of people including me from the mountain."

Yan Yun said:"Yan Yun is not talented, but he is willing to carry the princess down the cliff of Fengchou Stream in the back mountain of Guyue Ridge.

Zhao Yuanchun was surprised:"This, this, this.""

Yan Yun said:"Don't be alarmed, Princess. Yan Yun will be shattered to pieces to keep Princess safe and sound."

Zhao Yuanchun stared at his confident expression, his doubts gradually receded, and he suddenly thought of his entourage, and said:"No, no. How could I leave Chunrong, Hu Zan, and Li Ke to run for their lives alone?"

Yan Yun said:"Yan Yun not only wants to ensure the safety of the princess, but also the safety of the princess's entourage.

Zhao Yuanchun looked at him questioningly and said,"You're not going to carry me down to Guyue Ridge one by one, are you?""
