The dream of a lonely hero

Yan Yun said:"Of course not."

Of course Zhao Yuanchun wanted to know the answer, but he would not rush him. His heart was like fire, his expression was like water, and he listened quietly.

Yan Yun said:"Yan Yun and the king at the foot of the mountain have an agreement. Within three days, Yan Yun only needs to rescue the princess on Guyue Ridge. King Chen Xinquan Yan Yun will release the princess's entourage on Guyue Ridge as a favor."

Zhao Yuanchun said even more. Doubt: Yan Yun and Da Wang had a conversation first, so he must have some friendship with Lu Lin. Yan Yun claimed that he was a clerk in Nanya, and his sister complained about it in handwriting. The government and the green forest are different, and the sun and the moon are different. Is Yan Yun good or evil? On the surface, he wrote casually:"I didn't expect that although Zhuang Yan was young, he had a lot of experience, and Lulin Dao would also give him some face."

Yan Yun said:"Lulin is mostly shameless to the world, killing people and stealing money, or doing justice for heaven, in short, he is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Therefore, the grains are uneven. Chen Xin, the great king of Centipede Mountain, 'Xiao Meng Shang Sai Bian Que', was originally a son of a good family, a loyal man, and passed the martial arts examination. He was the sworn brother of Yan Yun and the second oldest brother. He was forced by corrupt officials. Lost one's familyWith no choice but to fall into the trap of bandits."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"It is a pity that such lofty ideals are not used by the court.

Yan Yun said:"That's right!" When I returned to Bianliang, I asked Nanya to order Brother Chen to be safe. At that time, my brother and I were both serving the imperial court. We lived up to Jinlan's oath to rescue the poor and help the people in danger."

Zhao Yuanchun wanted to know what kind of person Yan Yun was, but he couldn't see it clearly in a short while.

Hu Zan, Li Kedu, maid Chunrong and other entourages hurried to the Guyueling crenel to follow orders after dinner. Zhao Yuanchun sent Li Kedu and other entourage guarded the crenel and took Yan Yun, Hu Zan, and the maid back to the camp. After Zhao Yuanchun and Yan Yun finished eating the tiger meat, Zhao Yuanchun briefly described Yan Yun's rescue measures. The maid Chun Rong was horrified and said angrily:"Yan Yun Stupid! You want my princess to be buried with you, Chunrong would rather die than agree!" Use your body to block Zhao Yuanchun.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Chunrong must not be rude. Hu

Zan frowned and thought, and said:"Zhuangshi Yan, is this-this-possible?" A strong man can kill hundreds of kilograms of giant insects with his bare hands, so he is very skilled. However, it is not that Hu underestimates the strong man. Even gods cannot do it if he wants to carry the princess off a cliff of ten thousand feet. If something happens to the princess, Hu and the princess's entourage will kill themselves and they can't apologize. How can a strong man deal with Nanya?"

Yan Yun said:"General Hu, I have issued a military order in front of Nanya. If I cannot protect the safety of the princess, I am willing to apologize for Ling Chi! Chun

Rong said:"If you can't keep my princess safe, I'll cut you into pieces with a thousand knives, so what's the use!" Princess, don’t listen to his nonsense!"

Zhao Yuanchun was hesitant, thinking: Yan Yun flew over the cliff, killed the tiger with his bare hands, and drove away the bandits with one arrow. His martial arts was unparalleled, but if he had to carry himself down the cliff, as Hu Zan said, 'even gods can't do it'; Since Yun could drive away the grass bandits with one arrow, why did he take such a risky move? He looked at Hu Zan with a questioning look.

Hu Zan tried to figure out Zhao Yuanchun's meaning and said:"Yan Zhuangshi, Hu is confused, why do you want to be far away from the near? Since the strong man shot back all the thieves with one arrow, why can't he lead us to protect the princess and kill them down Guyue Ridge and out of Zheyun Mountain?

Yan Yun said:"Ashamed, Xiao Xiao is ashamed! It's just that Xiao Xiao is not good at learning and does not have such means. Wang Rong, the bandit from Lingxia, is known as the 'Invincible Silver Halberd and Peach Blossom Little Wenhou'. I have fought against him, but I can't beat him. It's really helpless to act like this."

Zhao Yuanchun felt that it was somewhat reasonable. Wang Rong's horsemanship was indeed extraordinary. If Yan Yun could defeat Wang Rong, he would never take such risks.

Hu praised:"Sir Yan, besides carrying the princess down the cliff, is there really nothing else to do?"

Yan Yun was ashamed and silent.

Hu Zan said:"Zhuang Yan, are you absolutely sure?"

Through the conversation between Hu Zan and Yan Yun, Zhao Yuanchun heard the truth and thought: The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were seriously injured and could still last for a few days. Only according to what Yan Yun said. Only by saying it is possible can we get everyone out of danger. He looked at Yan Yun and said,"General Hu Zan, you are worrying too much! Yan Yun, an expert in art, is very brave. He is not 120% sure that he would not come up with such a good plan."

Yan Yun said. Yun said shyly:"It's shameful! No matter how good the plan is, it's all because of the incompetence of the young princess, who wronged the princess and put her in danger. Yan Yun's body was shattered to pieces, but she still wanted to keep the princess unscathed."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"We all rely on the brave warrior Yan, you know. It's up to you."

Yan Yun stopped being polite and asked Hu Zan to bring one of the Prime Minister's Mansion guards to replace the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion such as Li Kedu and others who guarded the fortress. Li Kedu and others came back and cut the canes as thick as a thumb on the mountain with him. Then twist the three rattan ropes into a rope, and then tie the rope tightly. After more than an hour of intense work, a rattan rope eight feet long and a rattan rope more than ninety feet long were connected. Yan Yun pulled every joint of the rattan rope hard to check whether it was secure. After checking it three or five times to confirm it was secure, he asked the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion to carry the rope and came to Guyueling with Zhao Yuanchun, Li Kedu, Chunrong and others. The back mountain has cliffs and cliff tops. Yan Yun found a big tree and tied one end of the ninety-foot-long rattan rope to the trunk. He kept pulling to make sure it was firm, and then threw the other end off the cliff. He handed the eight-foot-long rattan rope to Li Kedu. Ask him to trap the princess Zhao Yuanchun on his back, and then check again and again to confirm that it is secure, and then say:"Li Junsi, I will protect the princess first. I leave it to you and General Hu. I will take you down the mountain the day after tomorrow." Chunrong kept sobbing and said:"

Princess - Princess, when has the princess ever taken such a big risk? If someone is good or bad, how can I live?"

Li Kedu complained:"Frustrated girl, the princess can only be good. It's not bad. With the protection of the brave warrior Yan, everything will turn into good luck."

Chunrong wiped her tears and said,"If Yanyun can't protect the princess, Chunrong, I will chop your bones into pieces, do you hear me!"

Yan Yun said! Yun said:"As long as I can keep my breath, I will ensure the safety of the princess."

The cliff was shrouded in clouds and mist and was bottomless. Yan Yun carried the princess Zhao Yuanchun on his back and grabbed the rattan rope and descended step by step. Li Kedu, Chunrong and others were all frightened, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to express their anger, and just said goodbye to Zhao Yuanchun with their eyes. Zhao Yuanchun was a lady in the prime minister's house, but she didn't know martial arts, and she had never taken such risks in her life. She was extremely frightened, but her expression was calm and she said goodbye to everyone with a calm look.

Yan Yun carried Princess Zhao Yuanchun on his back and rappelled down. He tapped his toes on the cliff, released the rattan rope with both hands, slid down two or three feet, quickly grasped the rattan rope, tapped his toes on the cliff, slid down two or three feet, and then tightened his grip. The rattan rope, like a dragonfly touching the water, repeated this process and descended for more than thirty feet. Zhao Yuanchun was trembling with fear, and held Yan Yun's neck tightly with cold hands. Yan Yun was so strangled by her that she could hardly breathe, and said:"Princess Princess - Princess - don't - don't be afraid."

Zhao Yuanchun felt that it was difficult for him to speak and let go of his hands.

Yan Yun felt her"pounding" heartbeat and comforted her:"The princess closes her eyes, and she will be off this cliff in a short while."

Zhao Yuanchun tried hard to close his eyes. After a while, he couldn't close them. He opened his almond-shaped eyes and shouted"Ah!". The rattan rope was stained with blood.

Yan Yunyi is a bold artist. Although his light skills are extraordinary, Zhao Yuanchun, who is carrying nearly a hundred kilograms, will have his light skills greatly reduced. At first, he didn't think so, but as time went by, he found it difficult. Zhao Yuanchun behind him became heavier and heavier. It was really... The lady weighing a thousand pounds walked down step by step, sweating profusely, her clothes soaked in sweat, her hands covered with blood, and the blood flowed down the vine rope.

Zhao Yuanchun looked down at the clouds and mist. He didn't know how high it was from the ground. If anything happened to Yan Yun and himself, it would be a disaster for several people in the Prime Minister's Mansion on Guyue Ridge. He calmly said:"Hand out this mission well." , Nanya will definitely look up to Yan Zhuangzi."

Yan Yun was full of energy when he thought of Nanya. Zhao Guangyi of Nanya was his savior, his spiritual support, and the support for him to realize his dream; he suddenly felt that Zhao Yuanchun was not so heavy on his back. His steps also became brisk.

After about an hour, it started to rain, and the vine ropes and cliffs were extremely slippery. Yan Yun walked down carefully on thin ice and accidentally touched a bird's nest on the cliff, and several eggs fell down the cliff. Suddenly a golden eagle roared toward Yan Yun from deep within the clouds. Hearing the sound, Yan Yun clenched the vine rope and pointed his toes to swing away from the cliff. The golden eagle's claws grabbed the stones on the cliff and flew into the clouds. In a moment, he flew down from the clouds again, forcing Yan Yun to attack. Yan Yun was like a swing. The golden eagle also avoided the beak and claws of the golden eagle, and the golden eagle flew away again. After a while, it turned back to attack Yan Yun. Yan Yun dodges like a swing. In this way, the golden eagle strikes fiercely, and Yan Yun dodges for about a moment (14 minutes and 24 minutes). seconds), the golden eagle grabbed the vine rope and pecked at Yan Yun's face. Yan Yun instinctively dodges, but suddenly feels something is wrong. If he dodges, the golden eagle will definitely peck the head of the princess behind him, and his life is not saved. He hastily stretches out his right hand and stabs the golden eagle's mouth, and the golden eagle grabs Yan Yun's mouth. Yan Yun's tiger's mouth was bleeding profusely. Yan Yun endured the severe pain and forced open the golden eagle's mouth, tightly holding the golden eagle's head. For a while, the golden eagle suffocated and died, still holding on to the vine rope with its claws."Crack!" The vine rope that the golden eagle was grasping broke. Yan Yun carried Zhao Yuanchun on his back and hit the branches of the cliff with a hula and quickly fell to the bottom of the cliff. Yan Yun quickly took out the Flying Grappling Bailian Rope from his waist and threw it towards the cliff. The Flying Grappling Hook could not catch the branches and stone cracks on the cliff. It slid down intermittently for dozens of feet. The Flying Claw temporarily hooked the arm of the cliff. The thick branch stopped for a moment, then"click" the branch broke. Zhao Yuanchun was so frightened that he fainted. Yan Yun let go of the flying rope and continued to fall downwards with Zhao Yuanchun on his back. Zhao Yuanchun was facing down. At this time, he was still about eight feet high from the ground. If he fell like this, Zhao Yuanchun would definitely die. At the critical moment, Yan Yun used all his strength to turn around in the air. , facing down, curling up his legs and arms, landing on his toes, he jumped forward quickly and fell to the ground with a"plop".

Under the cliff of Fengchou Stream, the rain has stopped and the wind is rising, and the autumn wind is rustling. By the stream, Zhao Yuanchun woke up and shouted loudly:"Yanyun! Yanyun!"-""Yanyun! Yanyun! -" echoed in the empty valley.

Zhao Yuanchun shouted for a long time, but Yan Yun below him did not respond. Zhao Yuanchun said:"Yan Yun cannot die, cannot die! The errand assigned to you by Nan Ya has not been completed yet. Nan Ya, it was Nan Ya who assigned it to you!"

Yan Yun struggled up, and struggled to pull out the Green Dragon Sword on his back to cut off the rattan that was tied to Zhao Yuanchun's body. The sword fell to the ground with a clang, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhao Yuanchun broke free from the rattan and looked at Yan Yun, his face full of filth. Mud, her mouth and nose were bleeding, and she hurriedly tore off a piece of her skirt to wipe it for Yan Yun.

Seeing that she was fine, Yan Yun smiled and said:"As long as the princess is well, the little... Just small - just fine. Not prison - Princess" with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Yuanchun couldn't help but shed tears.

Yan Yun struggled to sit up cross-legged and said:"Princess - Princess, let Xiao - recover some of your skills - your skills."

Although Zhao Yuanchun didn't know that he had used the Taihe Sect's internal energy to restore his strength, he knew that his physical strength was almost exhausted and in urgent need of rest. He didn't dare to disturb him and sat aside.

Yan Yun flew down the cliff, fought against the flying eagle, and fell from the eight-foot-high cliff. When I came down, if it weren't for the Qinggong and profound internal skills, my internal organs would have been shattered, but my physical strength and skills were seriously exhausted. After more than an hour of meditating and breathing out the internal skills to heal my injuries, my physical strength and skills recovered by 70 to 80%; my pale face gradually became a little red.

Time has passed. Hai (21:00), the autumn wind is bleak, and a few cold stars tremble in the dark blue sky. The sound of wind, wild beasts, birds, and wind blowing branches and leaves are floating around. Countless blue light spots are hidden or hidden deep in the dense forest. Now. Zhao Yuanchun was sitting huddled on the ground wearing soaked rags. Fear and cold made her tremble.

Yan Yun stood up quickly, took off her ripped and wet top and put it on Zhao Yuanchun, saying:"Princess Princess Take a break."Grab the Qinglong Sword on the ground and use the starlight to chop down a pile of branches and hay nearby, take out the flint and steel and light a fire;"Princess, please come here to keep warm.""

Zhao Yuanchun stood up straight. His legs and feet were already numb and he didn't dare to take a step. He couldn't ask Yan Yun to help him. He said,"Come here, come here.""

Yan Yun picked up a sword and chopped down a few thicker branches, tied them with rattan, and set up a shelf next to the fire. Zhao Yuanchun walked over slowly, took off Yan Yun's clothes and put them on the shelf to bake. Then he sat by the fire and warmed himself up.

The clothes of Yan Yun and Zhao Yuanchun were burned, causing wisps of green smoke to rise.

Yan Yun sat opposite her and warmed up by the fire. In the wilderness, he could not help but feel fear in his heart, but he had to show calmness in front of her; Knowing that she was frightened and uneasy, he wanted to find a topic to relieve her uneasiness as soon as possible. He pointed at the blue light spots that were looming or appearing deep in the dense forest, and said without thinking:"The stars in the sky will also fall into the forest."

Zhao Yuanchun already knew that the faint or appearing blue light spots were the twinkling eyes of the beast. When he said this, she became even more frightened. She tried her best to conceal her fear and said in a calm and calm tone:"Oh - oh, the eyes of the beast. Can it keep up with the brightness of the stars in the sky?"

Yan Yun originally wanted to find a topic to resolve her fear, but accidentally mentioned the beast. Feeling embarrassed, she hurriedly said:"Yes! right! Can't catch up, can't catch up. The princess is aggrieved, so she can only make do with it tonight.

Zhao Yuanchun was moved by the scene and said casually:"Ye Sui Han Xing."

Yan Yun said to him,"There is light smoke as you step on it."

Zhao Yuanchun looked at him in surprise and said,"Hunting golden eagles in the air.""

Yan Yun said to him,"Xiao Yanxiang is standing across the mountain."

Zhao Yuanchun said,"I didn't expect that Yan Zhuang was a man of both civil and military skills.

Yan Yun replied:"The princess is overly praised. The youngster is proficient in writing and has won both civil and military awards." I showed my shame in front of Bu Zhi Jinshi."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Don't be too modest, please ask a strong man to come out."

Yan Yun has studied poetry and songs from the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. He has no chance to show off his skills in the first test of the Zhenzhou Township Examination. What's even more distressing is that he has no confidants to compare with. At this time, Zhao Yuanchun is comparing himself with writing. He is worried and itchy, and his literary thoughts are flowing freely. Forgetting his identity and panic, he said:"The autumn clouds are flying in the wilderness.

Zhao Yuanchun said to him,"The mountains are green and the rain is cold.""

Yan Yun said:"Constricting Congtai, time has changed in Zhangzhou."

Zhao Yuanchun said to him:"The wind and clouds make my temples wet, and I lie down in the wilderness at night in the autumn."

Yan Yun said:"At night, I listen to the howling wind breaking the withered willows."

Zhao Yuanchun said to him,"It's autumn when we hide the grass."

Yan Yun said:"Princess, look at how desolate and chilly the autumn is right now, and there is no way to hide it. Who would buy it?

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Isn't it you?"

Yan Yun looked around and said,"How could I do this in autumn?" Zhao

Yuanchun said:"You traveled thousands of miles to this desolate and dangerous place to fight for the top spot just to save me?" If my father were not the current prime minister and Nanya was not your master, would you risk your life to save a woman who has never been alone in your life?"

Zhao Yuanchun has always been reserved and reserved, and he treats others leniently. Even if he treats his servants, he is never harsh. At this time, he directly questioned Yan Yun, and there was no deep meaning. Yan Yun carried her down the cliff. In order to save Zhao Yuanchun, he would rather let the golden eagle peck him. For Zhao Yuanchun's sake, Rather than fall to death from an eight-foot-high cliff, she would rather die on her own. No one in this world could do this for Zhao Yuanchun. Logically speaking, Yan Yun would be extremely grateful to Yan Yun for saving him with his own life; but she not only gave him Treating each other as a benefactor, Yan Yun's martial arts and literary talent made her admire her, but she would not or was not ready to pledge herself to him. Even if she pledged her body to him, it had nothing to do with repaying the favor. Reason told her that her benefactor must not be with him. Lovers and husbands are the same. Promising oneself is a stupid way to repay a favor. Repaying a favor can also be said to be simple. Repaying a favor with gold and silver or asking Prime Minister Zhao Pu to give Yan Yun an official position. She needs a confidant, a confidant who depends on her life and death. Only now. The desire to understand Yan Yun made her shorten the process of understanding as soon as possible.

Yan Yun had an exchange with her in writing and admired her very much. When she was in the ascendant, Zhao Yuanchun asked a question, and she didn't know how to answer it. She hesitated for a moment, thinking Returning to reality, he said:"As long as I know, I will definitely save you. I have been taught by my mentor since I was a child that it is my duty to help people in danger and those in need, and I have no reason to refuse to save people even if they die."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Why don't you be a knight-errant who performs chivalry and justice, coming and going in the clouds and mist, enjoying the world."
