Biganchun

The night is deep, and it is the right time.

The Fengyi Hall of Yan Mansion is brightly lit with candles, as bright as day.There was an astonishing change during the day, and there was no more joy in the grand hall.The guards in the hall were all standing with their knives in hand, holding their breath and silently, and the killing spirit spread silently everywhere inside and outside.

Above the Huatang, light and shadow swayed, Yan Shu and Wang Bowen sat together silently, occasionally shaking their heads and sighing at each other.Behind Wang Bowen, there is a person standing there. Judging from his body and appearance, he is somewhat similar to Wang Zhaochen, but he is much older. He is dressed in the clothes of a fourth-rank civil servant. It is Wang Bowen's eldest son, Wang Zhaofu, who was the editor of the Privy Council.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, and Yan Sheng hurried in, with a bit of surprise on his face.He whispered in front of Yan Shu: "Master, Mr. Zhan has brought Miss Fourth and that Bai Yutang back, and they are outside the door right now."

Surprised and delighted, Yan Shu stood up from his seat, and was supported by Yan Sheng to the entrance of Fengyi Hall.Not long after, I saw Zhan Zhao walking into the courtyard, Ming Jun was steady and calm.The person following him was Bai Yutang. His white clothes were covered with dust and blood, but his eyes were still sharp and aggressive.In his arms was a woman in scarlet clothes, pale and frail, with deep frowns, she was his beloved daughter Yan Rusi.

Seeing Yan Shu, Yan Rusi hurriedly jumped out of Bai Yutang's embrace, knelt down slowly in front of Yan Shu, and called out in a low voice with tears in his eyes, "Father..."

When Yan Shu saw Yan Rusi, his heart finally settled down.He rushed forward in a few steps, and wanted to stretch out his arms to help Yan Rusi up, but he caught a glimpse of Bai Yutang standing beside him, and suddenly became annoyed, he flicked his sleeves heavily, and said to Yan Rusi: "You... Do you still have the face to come back and see me?"

Yan Rusi's eyes dimmed, and he bowed his head in silence.Zhan Zhao stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yan Shu: "Yan Xiang, now that the fourth lady has returned safely, all the previous arrangements are unnecessary. Now that the incident has subsided, please tell me clearly."

At this moment, Wang Bowen and his son have also walked out of Fengyi Hall.Before Yan Shu could speak, Wang Bowen's expression had already changed, and he said angrily, "Bai Yutang trespassed in the prime minister's mansion, disrupted the engagement, and beat up my son. He has committed so many crimes that we must not lightly expose it! Your Kaifeng mansion has always covered the sky with your hands. There is a difference between inside and outside, and the ruling and opposition parties have complained a long time ago. This case, this old man must be handed over to Mr. Yushitai Du for trial, and he is bound to give justice to Mr. Xiang and this old man!"

Zhan Zhao frowned tightly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, there are so many guests today. Although Bai Yutang came here uninvited, it's not a big mistake for him to visit the house as a fourth-rank person. It is true that the ceremony caused chaos because of him, but everything involved, after careful consideration, did not violate the law. As for the injury of the second young master Wang by Bai Yutang, it was a sudden accident, and it was definitely not his intentional act. Speaking of it, Wang The Second Young Master also accidentally injured the Fourth Young Lady. At this moment, if one tries to find out the root cause, it is still difficult to reason clearly. In order to protect the prestige of the two houses, my lord might as well let this matter go and make peace... As for Bai Yutang, Zhan will definitely report to Master Bao, and Bao From then on, my lord has strictly restrained him and ordered him to restrain himself, so as to rectify the gates of the Kaifeng mansion..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhaofu stepped out from behind Wang Bowen, and said with a sneer, "Master Zhan, you are so eloquent and confounding right and wrong, do you think you can get away with it? What are the fourth-rank guards with knives? I just agreed to Mr. Bao's extravagant request! The Kaifeng Mansion is full of such gangsters, how can you say that you are the main gate?"

Wang Bowen interjected: "That's right, it's because Bao Zheng took these vulgar warriors into the Kaifeng mansion that the city of Tokyo has no peace! Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperor and the literati ruled the world together. When will it be the turn of these lowly people to be in the court?" class?"

When the Song Dynasty founded the country, it adopted the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military affairs. When Zhao Zhen became the country, it has reached the extreme.Although Zhan Zhao was conferred by the imperial court and was famous all over the world, when he usually went through the palace to handle official business, he had received many cold looks and contempt both openly and secretly.What's more, even though Bai Yutang held the title, he still had a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere, and was increasingly despised by all the civil servants.Now Zhan Zhao sees Wang Bowen and his son humiliating himself and Bai Yutang, and anger suddenly arises in his heart, but the situation is special now, it is definitely not the time to flare up.He secretly gritted his teeth and endured, but he knew in his heart that with Bai Yutang's temper, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Bai Yutang, secretly worried.

As expected, Bai Yutang smiled coldly, raised his hand to hug Huaying Dao in his arms, and raised his voice to scold Wang Bowen and his son: "That's right, I'm a gangster and a vulgar martial artist. It's not difficult to send me to Yushitai for trial tonight." , just to see if you have the ability!"

Wang Zhaofu laughed and said, "What a bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth! You usually don't know what the rules are, and today I will let you experience them!"

Zhan Zhao was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Zhaofu flicking his sleeve, and shouted sharply, "Where is the imperial army?"

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps came faintly like thunder, and a group of elite imperial troops poured into the courtyard. There were about five or sixty people, all dressed in black armor, holding strong crossbows, each with a vermilion scarlet on the crossbow arm. Dragon's spine imprint.In an instant, they formed two layers of circles, tightly surrounding Bai Yutang, with the front layer kneeling and the rear layer standing up, with their arrows piercing into the scorpion, and all the branches were aimed at Bai Yutang's body.

Shocked, Zhan Zhao jumped up and jumped into the center of the circle formed by the forbidden army. Standing side by side with Bai Yutang, he turned around and shouted to Wang Bowen, "Lord Wang, you must never do this!"

Yan Shu also turned pale in surprise, turned back to Wang Bowen and said, "Zhongming, why did you bring Yulong Nuzhi here?"

Wang Bowen hurriedly said in a low voice: "President Yan, this Bai Yutang is very rebellious. To subdue him, you must use extraordinary methods. I have temporarily borrowed the Yulong Nuzhi from the team that is not on duty today. The crossbowman is here, other than that, I'm afraid he can't be caught without a fight!"

Yulong Nuzhi is the most elite branch of Yulong Zhuzhi, and it is usually ordered by the inner court to dispatch and move.Yan Shu knew very well that this move was extremely inappropriate, but the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do for the time being.

Wang Zhaofu sneered at Bai Yutang, "Bai Yutang, if you still want to get out of here alive, you can kowtow to Yan Xiang and my father to confess your guilt, and then follow the imperial army to Yushitai to await trial, how about it?"

Bai Yutang glanced at the crossbowman slowly, and smiled faintly on his lips: "I have heard for a long time that the Yulong crossbow shoots a hundred arrows, and the arrows are all shot, but I am curious, is it their Yulong crossbow that is fast, or my Bai Yutang's body?" The method is faster!"

He stood on the ground without turning his head, and slowly said to the people around him: "Bows and arrows have no eyes, Zhan Zhao, if a crossbow shoots and accidentally injures you, my brothers will inevitably whisper in my ears again." ... If you spare your life, just step aside!"

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao knew that there was no turning back in the situation.He lowered his eyelashes, with a faint smile on his face: "You always say that I have nine lives, if I give up one here tonight, it doesn't matter..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stand side by side in the rivers and lakes, and they have a lot of old grievances, which is well known in the world, but this is the first time in their lives that they share a common enemy.The two of them stood side by side, although they didn't speak a single word, they both felt a strange touch swirling in their hearts.

The sixty crossbowmen of Yulong crossbow had already aimed their arrows at Bai Yutang, and when Wang Zhaofu gave an order, they pressed the hanging knife on the crossbow machine, and the arrows flew like rain, and they could not return.

Wang Zhaofu saw that Bai Yutang did not show any weakness, and Zhan Zhao also had a clear stand, he became more and more annoyed in his heart, and shouted sharply: "Bai Yutang refuses to subdue the law, Yulong's crossbow is straight, and the crossbow is firing!"

As soon as he uttered the word "Fa", someone shouted from outside the courtyard: "Stop!"

The man was coming very fast, but in an instant, he flew into the courtyard, his long sleeves fluttering, like a blue cloud flying in the sky, fluttering down beside Yan Shu.

When Bai Yutang saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said with a loud smile, "Okay, I knew you girl would not miss the fun tonight!"

However, Zhan Zhao frowned, looked past the crossbowman in front of him, cast his eyes on her face from a distance, and asked in a deep voice, "Where have you been for the past half day?"

Qingcheng glanced at the two of them, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and did not answer, turned around, took out a fold of plain paper from the sleeve of her right hand, and said loudly to Yan Shu, "Master Yan, please kneel down and accept the order!".

It was unexpected for Yan Shu to see Qingcheng appearing suddenly, and he was even more surprised to see her holding a note to proclaim the edict now.Although he knew that Qingcheng was named Princess Ganning after the Ganzhou case was rehabilitated, he never believed that what she held in her hands was really an imperial decree.

Seeing his suspicious face, Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Your Excellency will know if this imperial decree is true or not."

Seeing that Qingcheng's demeanor was extremely calm, Yan Shu suddenly recalled that there were rumors in the inner court these days that Zhao Zhen often called Qingcheng into the palace to pay a visit, and seemed to be very fond of her.

When everyone in the courtyard saw Yan Shu kneeling to receive the order, they also knelt down on the ground one after another.Although Wang Bowen and his son had great doubts in their hearts, they had to bend down and kneel aside.

Qingcheng put Su Jian in front of Yan Shu.Yan Shu raised both heads above his head, took it respectfully, and slowly unfolded the plain paper. He saw a few lines of running script in Zhubi, and read it according to the words: "The rule on June [-], the second year of Baoyuan: The prosperity of ritual and music is based on Confucianism. Originally, however, there are two ways of civil and military, and one cannot be given up. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages according to the times. Warriors and Confucians, how can they be discarded? , his fourth daughter, Yan Rusi, is elegant and gentle, bestowed with Bai Yutang, the fourth-rank guard with a sword in Kaifeng Mansion, and chooses a day to greet her in person, with high courtesy and rank."

Everyone in the court was shocked when they heard what Yan Shu read.Yan Rusi and Bai Yutang felt as if they were in a dream, they couldn't believe it.This piece of plain paper is actually an oracle for bestowing marriage!It quotes Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty Fan Chongwen Twelve, which means the unity of civil and martial arts, which is quite different from the respect for Confucianism in the current dynasty.

Qingcheng glanced past everyone, met Zhan Zhao's eyes, and a smile flashed in his eyes, before returning to Yan Shu's face: "Master Yan, this team of imperial dragon crossbows is straight, can we withdraw now?"

Before Yan Shu could answer, Wang Bowen stood up, stood in front of Qingcheng, and said angrily: "You demon girl, how dare you falsely pass on the imperial decree! No one in Beijing knows about the matter between the Fourth Miss and Jing Yi. Miss Fourth will marry Bai Yutang again?"

Qingcheng said coldly: "My lord, if there is something you don't understand, you can go to the palace to visit the official family. If you want to come, the official family will give you an explanation... However, you privately transferred Yulong Nuzhi first, and slandered the holy edict. In the end, I'm afraid I have to explain all these reasons to the officials... Lord Wang, if I were you, I would definitely not use my will to cause trouble!"

Wang Bowen stopped talking for a while, and Wang Zhaofu didn't know how to retaliate, so he stepped forward and carefully identified it in Yan Shu's hands, then turned his head and whispered to Wang Bowen: "This paper is Chengxintang paper, and the signature also has the imperial seal of Shuanglong. See It is undoubtedly the imperial pen."

Wang Bowen let out a long sigh, and instantly seemed to be a few years older.He was silent for a long while, and reluctantly bowed his hands to Yan Shu: "Forgive me, my father and son will leave tonight."

Yan Shu was speechless, so he nodded slightly to him.Wang Zhaofu bowed to Yan Shu, helped Wang Bowen down the courtyard, and ordered the servants of the palace to send Wang Bowen out of the palace.Seeing Wang Bowen's figure going away, he just turned his head and shouted at Yulongnu in a low voice: "Take the crossbow!"

The crossbowmen retracted their crossbows and withdrew their arrows, dispelling the encirclement.Qingcheng swept lightly, and went to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, turned his eyes to the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "It's really rare for a cat and a mouse to be in the same cage."

The powerful enemy disappeared suddenly, but Qingcheng came out to tease him again. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt a little embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Zhaofu had always been proud and arrogant, and this matter ended like this, he was already upset, seeing the three of them relaxed, laughing and laughing, filled with hatred, he shouted at Bai Yutang: "Bai Yutang, I have the right to let you go tonight. The Privy Council has already informed the ground of the Songjiang Mansion, your elder brothers trapped in the empty island, it is best to restrain your actions from now on, and don't fall into the hands of the government!"

Bai Yutang had been holding back for a long time tonight, and now he couldn't hold back anymore, he sneered and said, "We gangsters are used to being unrestrained, I'm afraid we won't be able to learn how to restrain ourselves. Rather than settle accounts after the autumn, it's better to be clear now!"

While speaking, his movement was like lightning, he flashed to the side of a crossbowman with a dragon crossbow, and his hand was like the wind, striking towards his chest.The crossbowman was startled, he stretched out his arm to block, but felt that his hand was empty, the Dragon Yutang had been gently snatched away by Bai Yutang.

Holding the crossbow in his hand, Bai Yutang laughed and said, "The Yulong crossbow is famous all over the world, let Bai Yutang try it today!"

Amidst the laughter, he pressed the trigger, and the hanging knife on the crossbow machine slammed, and the short arrow on the crossbow sneered, and shot towards Wang Zhaofu like a shooting star.

Bai Yutang's arrow was originally intended to scare Wang Zhaofu, although it was powerful, it only aimed at a step away from him, and did not intend to hurt him.Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhaofu saw the short arrow coming towards him, he screamed in alarm, panicked, and dodged to the right, but just in time to face the point where the arrow was pointing.

Everyone was unexpected, seeing that the short arrow was about to touch Wang Zhaofu's chest, they saw a shadow flashing behind him, as if someone was grabbing his back clothes behind him, pulling his body half a foot flat to the left in an instant, Kankan dodged the short arrow.

Wang Zhaofu only felt that the short arrow passed by and sank into the courtyard wall behind him with a "duh".His heart was beating wildly, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. When he turned his head to look, he saw a person standing in the dark behind him, about forty years old, with a clear face, wearing a blue Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, He knew that it was this Taoist who saved his life just now.

The green-robed Taoist smiled slightly at Wang Zhaofu: "Since we have escaped the first catastrophe, why don't we retreat to the three souls and then revise the way?"

Wang Zhaofu saw that although the Taoist helped him out of danger, the meaning in his words was obviously on the opposite side, no matter how difficult it was to do at this moment, he had to "cough" heavily, and led the Dragon Crossbow straight back.

Qingcheng saw that this Taoist's saving technique was the same as Zhan Zhao's on the street that day, but his physical skills and strength were far superior to Zhan Zhao's. What is the origin of people.But seeing that Zhan Zhao had already walked quickly to the Taoist and knelt down, his voice was full of surprises: "Master, please accept Zhan Zhao's respect."

The green-robed Taoist closed his head and said with a smile: "Zhaoer, get up quickly, we, master and apprentice, haven't seen each other for ten years."

He helped Zhan Zhao up, took his hand, crossed the courtyard, bowed to Yan Shu far away and said, "Brother Tongshu, don't come here without any problems."

When Yan Shu saw the green-robed Taoist, his eyes were full of surprise.He stood up from his seat, and went forward to hold the Taoist's hand tightly: "Xilai, you are like a dragon, you can see its head but not its tail. Over the years, you only occasionally showed your claws and scales in the clouds. Although you If you want to enter the Tao and become an immortal, don't completely abandon the brotherhood between you and me."

The green-robed Taoist smiled and said: "Since you are a Taoist, you must abide by the precepts. I have just been in Beijing for the past few days. Today, I heard rumors that something happened to my niece's engagement ceremony, so I came here to take a look. Who would have known?" I caught up with this excitement."

Seeing this situation, Bai Yutang also stepped forward, and saluted with a smile: "Senior must be the Taoist Priest of Kunlun Chuyun. Just now this junior made a careless move and almost caused trouble. Fortunately, senior helped me. Please accept this junior's respect."

The green-robed Taoist's eyes flickered, he glanced at Bai Yutang, and said with a smile: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, the golden mouse is graceful and suave, it really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

Bai Yutang's face flushed slightly, and then he showed his face and smiled, "Senior, you are absurdly praised. Just now, senior's move of flying a bird into the forest opened the eyes of this junior. Back then, the flying boy Yan Xi was famous all over the world. Tonight, he finally saw his style. It is really a junior luck."

Zhan Zhao didn't have time to talk to Qingcheng tonight, seeing her silent at the side, he wanted to introduce her to his teacher, but Qingcheng's expression suddenly changed after hearing Bai Yutang's words.She raised her head suddenly, stepped forward and asked the green-robed Taoist in a trembling voice, "You...you are Yan Xilai?"

Seeing that the young girl's face is beautiful, but her body is indifferent and youthful, the green-robed Taoist was moved in his heart, and replied with a smile: "That's right, before I entered Taoism, my surname was Yan and my name was Yingying Xilai."

Qingcheng asked again: "Are you from the Kunlun School?"

Although Yan Xilai found it strange, he still nodded and said: "I am a student of the Kunlun school, but I am not a student of Kunlun."

Qingcheng lowered his head slightly, with a half-smile on his face, and murmured to himself: "Sure enough it's you... Yan's surname is so rare, Zhan Zhao's master came from Kunlun, and he is so familiar with Yan's mansion, I should have thought that you are Zhan Zhao's teacher, Yan Xiang's younger brother, Ru Si's uncle..."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, turned his head to look at Qingcheng, but before he could speak, he heard a clang from Qingcheng's left sleeve, the Chunjun sword was unsheathed and flew straight forward.The sword moved like a rainbow, but her figure was three points faster than the sword's momentum. She swung her right hand swiftly, grasping the hilt of the sword, and thrust out the sword obliquely, stabbing at Yan Xilai's chest.

This sword, like a cloud hanging from the sky, or a mist covering a mountain, rushes towards his face, and his movement is illusory, as if he is at the top of a fairy, in a dreamland of volleying.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw that Qingcheng's sword was extremely exquisite, pointing directly at the fatal point, they were both shocked, but they saw Yan Xilai's figure was erratic, walking back and forth in the light of the sword, his clothes fluttering like a blue crane Like feathers flying wings, lingering in the immortal stack, circling and agitating in the clouds and mists, and finally retreating from the whole body, fluttering and falling seven feet away.

Yan Xilai stared at Qingcheng in a daze, and after a while, he sighed and said: "Bihua comes out, Ziyun returns... What a move the fairy Ziyun returns!"

Qingcheng missed a single blow, and his body was stunned. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes were cold, and he scolded Yan Xilai: "The karma is not good, the six paths of reincarnation, and the karmic obstacles of the past, let's end it together tonight!"

The edge of the sword is like frost and snow, the light of the sword is like black ice, the purity is like water, Mo Yan can live forever.

20 years, but a flash of light and shadow, as vivid as yesterday.

After a long time, Yan Xilai finally nodded slowly, his eyes focused on the long sword in Qingcheng's hand: "Gongsun Jiujian, long time no see."
