Crown Sword

Twenty years after Yu Linzhou's death, people in the martial arts world continued to try to find the tomb of Longkun Dou handed down from generation to generation. Get the attention of the royal family.However, with all the efforts of half the rivers and lakes, there is still no one who can get the location, and they return in vain.

Overnight, the tone changed. People only said that Long Kundou's tomb was just a lie to be played by the martial arts supreme.And the so-called treasures are just a touchstone to test people's greed, and in the next twenty years, the world will never mention it tacitly.

It wasn't until Yu Mingzhen, a descendant of the Yu family, brought the "Jiangqi" to Fu Jian, and the six-star general was born, that the storyteller in the teahouse and wine shop finally concluded that the tomb really existed.

But where?

In fact, even the descendants of the Yu family have no way of knowing.

That year, Du Mengjin was still a young boy who had just accepted the absurd fasting set up by his family. He was busy going in and out, making good relations with business travelers and appeasing the black market bosses at the same time.

The vicinity of Shazhou has always been ignored, and occasionally there are kings who occupy Liangzhou, but they can't suppress the mixed dragons and snakes here, and most of them turn a blind eye.In the early days, some foreign tribes harassed immediately. With the capture of Liu Yao, the last emperor of Han, Zhao and Xiongnu, and the prince abandoning the country, one of the "Four Mansions", the Chang'an Mansion, took a breather and regained control of the business. The situation improved slightly. .

Not long ago, the legendary Han merchant Lin Guang personally visited the door and made an agreement with the Jingzhao Du family branch who had fled to Dunhuang due to the Yongjia Rebellion. They decided to form a new force to balance all parties here. So far the Great Confucianism in Guanzhong provided shelter.

The elders in the family were ashamed when the country was ruined, and the work was left to the children and grandchildren to experience.

The biggest gambling shop and brothel in Dunhuang belong to two owners. The two old men are both sand bandits. , the wrist is not bad, but it is not reasonable to meet such a cursing old man.

The quarrel between the two families was serious, and no one could make peace, so things were a little troublesome.

This trouble was settled by a woman passing by. According to the onlookers who joined the fun, it was because a fight in one of the houses blocked the way, but Du Mengjin didn't believe it. That woman was really weird. The oil-paper umbrella in the south of the Yangtze River is a master's spirit spontaneously, how can you meddle in the busyness of the market?

Although, he really needs the help of a powerful person.

This story was spread all over the city, and the more people heard it, the more mysterious it became. Within three days, the Nine Heavens Xuannv version, the Cangshan Wild Grandma's version, and Donglai Bhikkhuni's version had been circulated, and everyone knew about it.In Dunhuang in June, there was a strange rain that lasted all night, and Du Mengjin was trapped in the house. He was supposed to look after the case file sent by the steward, but he opened the paperweight in a daze, and started to sleep. A picture of a lady holding flowers.

The porter's call came from outside the door, saying that someone was looking for him.

Du Mengjin responded, distracted and accidentally dripped the ink from the Danqing pen on the umbrella held by the lady, and the blank space that was intended to be filled with peach blossoms instantly danced into clouds.

"If you are an honored guest, please come to the studio." Having ruined a good scroll of paintings, he suddenly felt agitated, and before going out, he did not forget to tell the porter a word.

The gatekeeper was a young man, he lowered his head, he felt wronged: "The girl said, please meet her in front of the gate."

Cloth shoes stepped on the stagnant water, Du Mengjin pressed the copper green door knocker, and opened the wooden door that was concealed.Standing in front of the steps was a woman in plain clothes, holding an umbrella in one hand, and holding a half-grown boy in the other hand. The boy was pink and cute, but unfortunately he was a young boy with a pair of black eyes looking at people, and he didn't like to laugh. Still keep a straight face.

Hearing the movement, the woman raised the handle of the umbrella slightly, revealing a beautiful face and a head of black hair pinned with a wooden hairpin.

"The girl is..."

Du Mengjin's heart was pounding. If it wasn't for the unique loess and stone houses in the desert behind him, with the wooden doors, black tiles, cold rain and green lights, he would have suspected that he was in the south of the Yangtze River.

Look at this outfit, even if people don't speak, their identity is already clear.

Yu Yunsi handed Du Mengjin a bamboo tube: "You need this."

Inside the bamboo tube were two rolled up deeds, with the fingerprints and private seals of the two owners of the brothel and the casino.Du Mengjin's hand shook, not quite understanding why she came: "This is?"

"Meet and greet."

Yu Yunsi took a step back, then turned around and left.

Du Mengjin was really shocked, the heart in his chest seemed to jump out of his throat.This deed solved the urgent need, and it came too timely, so that he lost his composure and had no grace at all, as if at that moment just now, he was the little girl who was full of love, and the person standing outside the door was a heroic man who saved people The mighty man of water and fire.

"Wait." Du Mengjin was full of courage, grabbed Yu Yunsi's hand holding the umbrella, and made an excuse to keep him.

"Little aunt, do we still have to go?" The boy raised his head.

Yu Yunsi patted him on the back lightly, followed Du Mengjin, and walked into the Lutangzhai: "Don't go, from today onwards, we will stay here for now."

Du Mengjin, who was eavesdropping with his ears up, was unconsciously relieved when he heard the call, and felt a tiger's pace when he walked, so much so that he tripped on the threshold.

"Why are you weaker than me?" the child said bluntly.

"No, I'm traveling with Youmei, and I'm ecstatic." When Yu Yunsi looked over, he turned his eyes away and asked the boy hypocritically, "May I ask the young master's name?"

"My name is Yu Mingzhen." The little boy smiled with a toothless expression, "Scholar, why don't you ask my aunt's name?"

"Ah, soul and dream are linked together, I already understand."

Yu Yunsi is not a meddlesome person, nor does she want to use the prestige of the ancestors of the Yu family to be the hero who hoes the strong and helps the weak. Helping Du Mengjin is just to use Jingzhao Du's stepping stone. With her temperament, it is difficult to commit herself to begging, so she I thought of such a way to teach people to keep them with their own mouths.

The ancestors taught that the future generations have the style of Wei Ran, and so does she.Therefore, when she walked into this Fangzhaiyuan, she explained why she came——

They went to the desert to find a tower.

The Western Regions are so vast, it is not the result of cold and heat to find a pagoda whose location and name are unknown.Yu Yunsi stayed in the Absurd House for three years, and the most he did was to help Du Mengjin set up the business. With the growth of the Absurd House, Du Mengjin almost controlled all the forces in the world near Dunhuang. Finally, in the third year, Find out the news.

It was noon when the spies sent back the news, and Du Mengjin, who had eaten lunch, was dozing off during his fast. He heard the announcement, his coat was disheveled, and he rushed out with his shoes on. But the moment he held the map, he hesitated. He was afraid, afraid that Yu Yunsi would leave if he got what he wanted, and he was even more afraid of the hardships and dangers in the middle, and the two of them would be different from each other.

"What are you so stupid about?" Yu Mingzhen squatted on the horizontal seat in the corridor and ate sour plums. Seeing his dumbfounded appearance, he couldn't help ridiculing.

Unexpectedly, the sour plums had their teeth down, and after saying a word, they had no choice but to hold their cheeks and crumpled their white face.

Du Mengjin wanted to ask "What kind of man does your aunt like", but he didn't think about it, so he blurted out: "Do you think you still need an uncle?"

"Did you say you?" Yu Ming really felt a little funny.

Du Mengjin stopped talking.

He likes to call Yu Yunsi the "Eight Fen" girl, because this woman is never decisive in her actions, never satisfied with her words, and has never been as calm as water. Even when she is happy, she only purses her lips and smiles.Such a person, compared to a vulgar person like himself, is hard to guess his mind, and occasionally one or two things that move her face are enough to make him happy.

He loves the tenderness that flows slowly, but he also worries about gains and losses.

"You'd better tell her yourself," Yu Mingzhen persuaded, a little awkward, "She didn't tell you that you got the key... Hey, you can ask yourself!"

In the end, Du Mengjin succumbed to his childhood upbringing, and told the truth about the clues he found if he couldn't hide it. Therefore, after discussing, they decided to open the dusty tower and set the time on a full moon night.

In that year, the Jin Dynasty, which had undergone Nandu reconstruction, Wang Dun's rebellion, and Su Jun's rebellion, gradually recovered its vitality. Taking advantage of the melee between Wei and Zhao in the north, they also sent troops to the Northern Expedition.The Confucianists who had taken refuge in Guazhou were greatly encouraged by the news, and many of them took the lead in trying to smuggle the classics, files, family letters, and business income from these years of business that they had rescued during the city's collapse to the south of the Yangtze River.

The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are lost, which is the only meager effort these wanderers who are thousands of miles away can do.

It is difficult to deliver all at once. This plan will last for several years or even ten years, with the joint efforts of several people, and the unified arrangement of Absurd Zhai. You can draw the line from it and use the power of the caravan.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, how to go, but has been unable to finalize——

Should we enter the pass and go to Que'er Mountain and go south to the middle of Sichuan, and cross Jiangling by water to enter the border of Jiangzuo, or go to the east of Longdong to cross the three passes, and cross Huaiyin to the south?

The situation is changeable, and the road is bumpy, and no one can guarantee it.

We all waited for the predecessors to lead the way, and the future generations avoided detours. Under the crucial situation of no one to recommend themselves, Du Mengjin decided that the Du family would personally send this first trip.

In order to be able to accompany Yu Yunsi out of the fortress ten days later, he made arrangements in advance, and set aside enough manpower to look after the home. In the end, he spent two days picking at the treasure house at home, and finally chose an ancestral white magnolia hairpin, which was close to his body. Put it away, and if the timing is right on the line of thought, express your heart.

However, the sky does not follow people's wishes. News came that night that Fu Jian entered the customs and went to the king's title, and seemed to intend to submit to Jin. The cusp.

After Shi Zhao was defeated by Ran Wei, Du Hong wanted to steal Chang'an. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Claiming to be Xunzhengshuo.Du and Fu's families were at war with each other, and You especially stared at each other.

As a result, it will be even more difficult for Du Mengjin, who is of the same clan, to borrow the help of the Du family to cross Chang'an again.His first thought was to talk to Lin Guang, but the fat man couldn't let go because the "Chang'an Mansion" was also in crisis, so he could only promise to share some of the strength, but Du Mengjin had to come in person, so he could rest assured .

There are so many people in Guazhou looking forward to it, and watching with so many eyes. Some of them have their wives and children separated, some of them are old and disabled. Send the brocade letter of your heart back——

Du Mengjin couldn't refuse, so he could only leave a letter to Yu Yunsi, asking her to postpone the schedule until he came back, and then search for it, and then crossed the horse overnight and went straight to Chang'an.

Fate tricks people, that is, on the night when he received the handwritten letter, Yu Mingzhen fell ill and vomited blood, and he could not delay any longer. After thinking about it, Yu Yunsi decided to go to the vast sea alone.

She didn't tell anyone, including the child who stayed on the bed due to illness, and only entrusted her family to take care of her.

Yu Mingzhen fell into a coma for several days. When he woke up from his dream, he saw Tianxin's complexion changed, and he felt dripping with cold sweat.To his horror, his aunt was nowhere to be found.

The blood connection between relatives made him anxious all day long. When the tenth day came, he couldn't wait any longer. Suspecting that something had changed in the pagoda, he seized his horse and galloped to Chang'an to find Du Mengjin and ask him to bring his aunt back.

He was smart and lucky, and soon found Du Mengjin's stronghold in Chang'an.

When he saw the man with black eyes and a tired expression, he was taken aback for a moment, then rushed forward and grabbed the man's arm tightly: "Save her, save her, it's all my fault, my fault -"

"Miss Yunsi went to Hanhai?" Du Mengjin quickly realized.

Yu Mingzhen nodded again and again: "I've been restless day and night for the past few days, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's..."

"Mingzhen, don't panic." Du Mengjin tried his best to comfort the boy, but he was trembling all over, holding on to the screen in the room to stand firm.The situation in Chang'an is also very bad, he managed to get through the inside and outside, he just needs to send people out of the city, pass through Jianmen, and go down to Bashu, they will be safe and sound.

For a short time, he couldn't leave.

Du Mengjin held Yu Mingzhen's hand, he knew that the child was weak and weak: "Listen, I will send you back to Lutangzhai first, and then I will try my best to send some confidants to Hanhai. I guarantee that they are all good at martial arts..."

"No, you go!" Yu Mingzhen's face turned blue, and he interrupted him very forcefully, "I can rest assured only if you go! I don't believe anyone but you... Besides, if it's the last time, you fool haven't said anything yet. In your heart, do you think she will never hear it for the rest of her life?"

Yu Yunsi once said that this tower is a confidential matter, the less people know about it, the better.

"Enough!" Du Mengjin scolded, pressed his shoulders tightly, took a deep breath, and said as calmly as possible, "How can you curse her? What's more, your little aunt is strong in martial arts, she will be able to support her, I promise you , as soon as the matter here is over, I will immediately rush to Hanhai..."

Yu Mingzhen moved forward and hugged his leg, racking his brains to persuade him to turn around: "Those wisterias were not planted by Lao Lin, but by her, and she planted them herself. She heard from Lao Lin that when you were young in Chang'an, there was a wisteria in your home. I always like to bask in the sun under it. Then one day, you praised the Buddha for his handsome smile, so she planted a lot..."

Xiao Si came outside the door and shouted: "Mr. Du, people from all walks of life are waiting in the east of the city."

Du Mengjin closed his eyes, tears welling up, and after several struggles, he brushed Yu Mingzhen away: "I will send someone..."

Yu Ming was really flustered and grabbed the man's palm tightly.He has never cried since he was a child, but the tears flowed dry that night: "Go and see her, go and see her! Don't you miss her, love her and adore her? Is this love in your heart so unimportant?" ?”

"Miss Yunsi's love, Du Mou can't repay her, and she will not marry her in this life, but the child." Du Mengjin stroked his face and shook his head, "There are many things in this world that are as important as affection, or even more important."

Yu Mingzhen fell to the ground and smiled bitterly in despair: "I won't believe a word from you again!"

The white jade hairpin brought out from his bosom fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

Du Mengjin's heart ached, but he didn't look back, he just glanced at Chang'an's bright lights, and immediately raised his whip to lead him away.Yu Mingzhen was knocked out by the cronies left behind and brought back to Dunhuang.

Five days later, when he returned to Lutangzhai, he did not see Yu Yunsi who had returned, nor Yu Mingzhen who had stayed behind. He was greeted by a hunter named Ying who had lived in the Bogda Mountains for generations.Entrusted by someone, Orion left behind a brocade handkerchief embroidered with a phoenix pattern, and there was another sentence passed down along with it——

"Since the king has a negative, the concubine should forget it."

Although it is a painful pain, but after thinking about it, it may not be fulfillment.After all, he didn't rush back immediately. For a woman, the most important thing is to protect her. If she fails, she will have to bear all the consequences.

Du Mengjin fulfilled Yu Mingzhen's words in Chang'an that night, and stayed in the Absurd House without marrying again, hoping that one day Yu Yun's thoughts would disappear and he would be able to knock on the green door with copper rings again.

The wisteria in the courtyard bloomed and fell, but the man never came back.

Until one day, a handsome young man with white hair and long gown came to the black market, and walked into the gate of Luluzhai swaggeringly, no one could stop him.

When Yu Mingzhen came to the door, he was no longer a dying child who vomited blood, but was already a well-known secret general under Fu Jian's command.

Du Mengjin pushed back the others, and had a drink with him beside the Qingchi in the courtyard.The past is coming one after another, making it difficult for people to say: "Is your aunt okay?"

Yu Mingzhen held the wine glass and looked at him for a long time: "I came here to pay homage to her."

"What did you say?" Mr. Du, who had always been prudent, accidentally knocked over the wine cup, and the fine grape wine from the Western Regions stained his clothes red.

"Don't you know? She died a long time ago, died in the vast sea, you forgot, it was you who refused to see her for the last time!" Yu Mingzhen was also a little surprised to see him lose his composure, but soon hated his boss, Throwing reason behind her, every word and every sentence is like a soft knife cutting flesh, "She treats you very well, she doesn't mention a word for fear that you will be sad, but how did you treat her?"

Yu Mingzhen picked up the wine pot, drank it down, then let out a breath, looked at the wisteria flower stand as before, and said expressionlessly: "Let me tell you a story, about the Yu family."
