The dream of "Tenderness of Iron Hands" begins in Tokyo

====================

After the banquet, Mr. Zhuge called Tieshou to go to the study together for a secret talk.It turns out that another big incident happened in Lianyun Village on Chilian Peak in Cangzhou. It seems that the owner of the village, Qi Shaoshang, stole important state secret documents to threaten the court. Fu Zongshu has sent his masters Jinlin and Gu Xichao to arrest them.In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Holy Lord specially ordered the imperial arrest of Shenhou's Mansion to assist.Because Tie Shou had fought against Qi Shaoshang in the "Poisonous Hand" case before, Mr. Zhuge ordered him to set off immediately to Cangzhou to arrest the criminals.

In the morning of the next day, Tie Shou left the mansion with his luggage, took the horse brought by A Liang, and had just walked a few steps, when he saw a fine horse riding from the opposite side.Tieshou recognized that the man on horseback was Yeluchun, the general of the Liao Kingdom who had a shooting competition with his junior sister yesterday.I saw that he was dressed in Han Chinese clothes today, purple robe and jade belt, leather boots with furs, and his demeanor was heroic and majestic.

For some reason, Tieshou's heart moved, and he couldn't help but stop and turn his head, wanting to see where he was going.

Sure enough, Yeluchun got off his horse at the gate of Shenhou Mansion.A Liang in the concierge hurried out to welcome the distinguished guest.I only heard Yelu Chun's loud voice: "Yelu Chun, the embassy of the Daliao Kingdom, is asking to visit General Lu Yun of your mansion. This is a letter of worship, and I hope you will report it."

"Lu Yun? We don't have such a person here. But there is a girl Lu Mengyun Lu." A Liang said curiously.

"Yes! Yes! It's Miss Lu. The one who won the first prize at the banquet yesterday." Yeluchun laughed.

"That's it. Please come with me." Since A Liang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, dared not neglect, he hurriedly led the guests into the mansion, and went back to the inner courtyard to find Lu Mengyun.

Seeing that he really came to look for Lu Mengyun, Tie Shou felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he was worried, but also envious.Immediately, he was taken aback by his own reaction, hurriedly restrained himself, flew on his horse and headed north out of the city.

When Lu Mengyun woke up, it was already high in the sun.Because she had something on her mind a few days ago, she didn't sleep well, she was completely relaxed last night, and she slept very soundly this time.

The weather was still very cold, looking at the snow outside the window that hadn't melted, she lay in the warm blanket and didn't want to get up.But when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the jewelry box bought from Xiangguo Temple on the dressing table, and suddenly remembered that he had to pay back the iron hand money, so he quickly got up, washed and washed, and went to the old building.

Seeing that the courtyard door of the old building was locked, Lu Mengyun was surprised: "It's only the fourth day of the lunar new year, could it be that the senior brother is already on a business trip?"

"Miss Yun, you are here. A guest is looking for you, and they are waiting in the flower hall." A Liang hurried over from the end of the corridor.

"Looking for me? Who is it?"

"It seems to be from Liao, here, this is a greeting card."

Lu Mengyun took the poster and took a look. It turned out that it was General Yeluchun of the Liao Kingdom who had an archery competition yesterday. She was puzzled, she didn't know why he was looking for her, but she always wanted to see him out of politeness.As she followed Ah Liang to the flower hall, she asked,

"Why is the old building locked? Isn't Senior Brother Iron Hand here?"

"Second Master, he just left, and it looks like he's gone on a long trip again in that outfit."

"Oh? Are you going to go out on business already? The fifteenth day of the first lunar month hasn't passed yet."

"Miss Yun doesn't know that the four masters of our family work for the government, and they travel around all year round to handle cases. Especially the second master, they don't see each other a few times a year. It's very hard."

"Well! It's really hard work."

In the flower hall, when Yeluchun saw Lu Mengyun walking slowly into the room in her daughter's attire, his eyes suddenly brightened.The light blue narrow body and long 禙, the collar is covered with thin white fox fur, which makes her look pure and noble; Hanging on the navy blue embroidered shoes, she moves lightly like a fairy; although no makeup is applied on her face, she still has pink cheeks, bright eyes and bright teeth.He was so engrossed in watching for a moment that he forgot to take the initiative to salute.

Lu Mengyun saluted with her arms crossed, nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Lu Mengyun has met General Yelu! Good luck, General!"

"Hello, Miss Lu!" Yeluchun hurriedly saluted, "Oh! I never thought that General Lu, who is excellent in archery, is a female general! I really admire him even more."

"General Yelu, you're being polite! You made the concession yesterday, so you might not lose that part if you take the bow." Lu Mengyun greeted him politely, and then asked: "I wonder what the general learned when he came to the mansion today?"

"Oh, that's right. I saw your superb skills yesterday, and I really admired you very much. I went to the Dianqian Division to inquire, and I found out that he was the imperial police officer of the Shenhou Mansion. No wonder he is so powerful. My embassy in Daliao Tenth, we will host a banquet in return for all the military officers of the Great Song Dynasty who accompanied the shooting yesterday. Therefore, I am here to invite you all to attend." Yeluchun handed over the invitation card with both hands.

"The arresters in front of the imperial court are my four brothers from the same school." Lu Mengyun took the invitation with both hands, and said frankly: "Although the general is very kind, I can't agree to this matter right now. Mengyun only came to the capital to study three months ago. Knowing these etiquette rules, I will reply to you after the senior brothers go back to the mansion, okay?"

Yeluchun said: "Okay, okay. Just don't worry, Miss Lu, this is just an ordinary banquet between the military officials of the two countries. There are not so many complicated rules, so there is no need to worry about it."

During the period, a servant brought fragrant tea, a first-class product of Yeluchun, and even called it a good tea. The variety, origin, cooking method, water and heat of this tea were all described exactly. Obviously, he is very good at tea ceremony in the Central Plains.Lu Mengyun saw that he was fluent in Chinese and had a good conversation, so she also had a good impression of him.The two exchanged ideas on archery skills, and soon after, Yeluchun bid farewell and left the residence.

After Wuqing and the others returned home, Lu Mengyun told the senior brothers about the banquet invited by the ambassador of the Liao Kingdom.Wu Qing felt strange, there was no such entertainment in previous years, why did they become polite after losing the competition this year?He pondered for a moment and then said to discuss with Uncle Shi.

Mr. Zhuge laughed "hehe" after hearing this, and said, "I don't think that Yeluchun's drunkard's intention is to drink."

He said ruthlessly: "Let me find out who this person is."

There will be news soon.Yeluchun, the cousin of Emperor Tianzuo, the current emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom, was granted the title of King of Wei, the Xuanhui Envoy of the North Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom, and stayed in Nanjing.Because of his talent, he is favored and trusted above all kings.

"It turns out that he is such an important person, no wonder he has this ability." Mr. Zhuge frowned slightly when he heard the words: "The King Wei of the Daliao Dynasty came to invite him personally, and it would be inappropriate to refuse in terms of the etiquette of diplomatic relations between the two countries." How about this, all of you will accompany you to socialize, but you must take good care of your little junior sister."

He said ruthlessly: "Uncle Shi, just rest assured, I will take care of myself."

The post office of the Liao envoy is located in the Duting post on the West Street of Zhouqiao, which is naturally a first-class prosperous place.As it was approaching the Lantern Festival, a colorful shed was also set up on the door, and the lights were lit tonight because of a banquet.Under the night, the lights complement each other, beautiful and splendid, which is really beautiful.Wuqing brought all the juniors and sisters and several other warriors who participated in the banquet to attend the banquet.

During the banquet, Yeluchun talked and laughed happily, and was very courteous. He really looked like a king.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he did not show any special care or closeness to Lu Mengyun, who was still dressed in a man's attire today, but only sincerely expressed his admiration for her superb archery skills.All the people present, regardless of Song and Liao, felt that the king of Wei was really broad-minded and courteous and virtuous.

Needless to say, the fine wine and delicacies at the banquet, the exquisiteness of the jade pots and silver cups, what is rare is that they invited several very famous zaju performers in Bianjing City to perform in court.These famous actors are usually hard to find, so everyone loves them.It was the first time Lu Mengyun saw this kind of performance after coming to the capital, and she enjoyed watching it with great interest and interest.

Yeluchun secretly paid attention to Lu Mengyun's preferences, and only thought about how to create more opportunities to please her in the future.Since meeting in the third year of junior high school, he saw that the other party was a daughter, and was deeply attracted by Lu Mengyun's talent and beauty, and fell in love at first sight in his heart.So he first planned this reception banquet, not only to reveal his noble status, but also took the opportunity to get acquainted with her, hoping to win her heart and achieve a foreign marriage.

Afterwards, Yeluchun invited Lu Mengyun to swim with him twice at rare royal entertainment events such as watching lanterns in Xuande Tower and enjoying spring in Yujin Garden.One is that Yeluchun has a noble status and Lu Mengyun feels that it is not appropriate to reject people for thousands of miles. Second, after all, she is still young, naive and curious. The heroic prince speaks elegantly and is well-read and memorized. He also takes her to open her eyes, and the other party always treats her with courtesy when they get along. Treating each other, naturally gradually treat him as a friend, and the relationship becomes closer and closer.

Mr. Zhuge saw a trace of worry in his eyes. He found out that Yeluchun had long been a royal concubine and several side concubines in the Liao Kingdom, and he also knew that he was only attracted by Ayun's beauty for a while.Furthermore, even if Ayun also likes Yeluchun and is willing to commit herself, the relationship between Song and Liao may break at any time. If there is an incident between the two countries, this marriage will definitely bring disaster to her family in the Central Plains.But it was inconvenient for him to come forward and discuss this matter with the girl's family in detail, so he called Manager Yan to discuss it.

After listening, Yan Hunling said: "I don't think Junior Sister Yun is the kind of simple-minded girl, and besides, they have only known each other for more than a month, so it shouldn't be too late... But it's right to be on guard, we Da Song are so juicy. Wouldn’t it be a pity if your girl was deceived and went to Liao to be a side concubine.” She pondered for a while and said, “This kind of thing can only be avoided, sir, are you going to let Yayu go to Lianyunzhai to reinforce the second child? , let him take Ayun to Cangzhou. This will not only increase the junior sister's experience in the world, but also avoid Yeluchun's entanglement."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhuge laughed and said yes repeatedly.

Yan Hunling said with a smile: "Junior Sister Yun's outstanding talent and looks make people happy. In fact, I am quite optimistic about our second child. I just see that they are quite right, haha."

Mr. Zhuge said: "You Xia is good at everything, but he can't let go of the word love. Whether it's family, friendship, love between a man and a woman, there are too many fetters. Sometimes love is too deep, and you can get in but can't get out. Alas... Things like marriage depend on fate.”

Two days later, Wuqing took Lu Mengyun straight to Cangzhou for the earth-shattering "Naishuihan" case.Along the way, the two encountered all kinds of vicious fights, fell into a dangerous predicament, and survived from a desperate situation.Because of this, Lu Mengyun also got to know Qi Shaoshang, Xi Honglei, Helian Chunshui and other heroes.

By the time he met his second senior brother Tie Shou, he had gone through hardships to find out the truth of the case.In order to maintain justice, he did not hesitate to become enemies with Jinlin and the others, but instead he was framed and became a court prisoner, protecting Qi Shaoshang and the others on their escape.

Although the case was finally settled by Mr. Zhuge under the witty mediation in front of the Holy One, which seemed to be a proper but inconclusive solution, Tie Shou fell into confusion because of this campaign. This vigorous pursuit and escape disturbed his heart. .Who is the catcher?Who is the thief?Why are people taken, and why are they taken?So many people died in vain, how can the mastermind behind the scenes still get away with it?Rules and regulations seem fair, but where is the real fairness and justice?He felt disappointed and tired of his career as a police officer for a while, and he didn't want to go back to the capital. After resigning from Shishu, he decided to go to Lianyunzhai and the surviving heroes there to reorganize the village.

Before leaving, Tie Shou came over to say goodbye to the senior brother and junior junior sister.Lu Mengyun looked at his lonely figure who turned and left, tears streaming down her face.

"Brother Iron Hand! Don't go! Brother!" She cried and called him.

Tie Shou hesitated a little when he heard his junior sister's call, stopped for a moment but didn't look back, and only said softly: "Treasure!" Then he strode away resolutely.

Lu Mengyun couldn't help crying, turned the wheelchair to her side ruthlessly, patted her hand and comforted her softly: "Junior Sister, don't be sad. Second Junior Brother is just confused for a while, I believe he will come back when he thinks through. Because, Shenhou Mansion is his home."

It was early April when Lu Mengyun and Wuqing returned to the capital.

Compared with the cold and freezing weather when we left Beijing, it is now warm and sunny, and everything is recovering.And Bianjing City seems to be always a scene of prosperity no matter how the seasons change.It's just that how many people can see through the shady scenes of the country's disaster and the perilous crises that are covered by the dazzling light of the prosperous age?

In the garden of Shenhou Mansion, pomegranates are in full bloom, the pool water is rippling, and warblers are singing and swallows are singing from time to time. The spring is pleasant.Lu Mengyun sat by the window and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her, but she was not happy.She was still unhappy about the departure of Senior Brother Tie Shou.Although the two have known each other for a short time, she has already noticed that Brother Tie is not only strong in martial arts, wise and careful, but also the most generous, humble, upright and kind-hearted.It was a pity for Shenhou Mansion to lose such a talent.And the "Naishuihan" case had a great impact on her, and she and Tie Shou sympathized with each other on this matter.She also couldn't accept such haste.If a policeman of the public family cannot handle cases impartially, enforce the law for the country, and resolve grievances for the people, then what is the point of these many people going through life and death?She also had great doubts about this sacred and noble profession in her heart.

After leaving Beijing for a long time, Lu Mengyun saw a lot of letters piled up on the table, one of which caught her attention because of its gorgeous and exquisite frame.She picked it up and took a closer look, but it was Yeluchun, King Wei of the Liao Kingdom, and then she remembered that she hadn't seen him for several months.

In his letter, Yeluchun mentioned that when he came to visit and was told that Miss Yun was out on business, these days he has been thinking about it all day.However, the imperial brother in the country urgently called him back to Beijing for important matters, and he had already set off for Liao in mid-March.I regret not being able to say goodbye to the girl in my heart, and I will come to Song Dynasty to meet with you after the state affairs are over.Miss Wangyun favors the book, and she only needs to send it to the Liao embassy for delivery.

No matter how innocent Lu Mengyun is, she can feel from the lines that the other party thinks that she is not just an ordinary friend.Yeluchun's character and talent are not bad, but his special status made Lu Mengyun never think about it in depth.Her own family is superior, wealth and honor are not very attractive to her, and she does not want to climb the dragon and the phoenix to go to a high place where the cold is overwhelming.Sanqingshan also has a brother from the same school who loves her wholeheartedly, but she only treats him as her own brother.Her dream is to find a like-minded person who she truly loves and loves to be proud of herself. "But where can I find such a person?" Thinking of this, Lu Mengyun couldn't help sighing, and casually threw Yeluchun's letter into the drawer.

The days passed quickly, spring went to summer solstice, and July was full of fire.The three-volt weather in Bianjing is the same as that in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also very hot.In the evening of that day, Lu Mengyun followed Wuqing back home from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs after finishing work, and encountered Leng Xue as soon as she entered the door.

"Fourth brother, you are back from a business trip." Lu Mengyun said happily.She is about the same age as Leng-Blood, so compared to the older Chasing Life and the cold and ruthless, the two of them are warmer.She then teased him again: "Uncle Master is really considerate, I know that Cangzhou is your favorite place to go. How about it? Go meet your Miss Xi San again? Hehe..."

Cold-blooded blushed, smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm on business. By the way, I have a letter from my second brother here."

"A letter from Senior Brother Tie Shou? Have you seen him?" Lu Mengyun was a little surprised because she had never had any correspondence with Tie Shou.

"Yeah! Passing by Lianyunzhai, I stopped by to see him and persuade him. I said everyone misses him."

"Is he all right?"

"It's okay. However, I can see that he is also a little homesick. He keeps asking this and that, hehe... I guess he will come back." Leng Xue laughed.

"You should come back! How about I go to persuade him too?" Lu Mengyun said.

"It seems that the third brother will go in a few days, let's see and talk."

"En!" Lu Mengyun took the letter, read it and walked to her room.

"Little sister Huijian,

The fourth brother came to visit me and talk about my junior sister.Thank you for your concern, You Xia is grateful, and I have attached a letter of thanks.

Summer is here, the middle of Beijing is no different than Sanqing Mountain, it is usually extremely hot, I wonder if you can get used to it?

At this time in previous years, I mostly dealt with cases outside, and the scorching heat could not relieve the fatigue of the journey. Looking back now, it was indeed torture.This summer is good, although there are things in the village that are no more cumbersome than officials, but I have a little more free time, suddenly feel that the summer is long, and sometimes I don't know how to spend it.If you are in Bianjing, you can accompany your junior sister to the Shuixin Temple in Jinming Pond, where the lotus blooms most beautifully.

Junior sister has been in the capital for more than half a year, right?Gongmenzhong is as experienced as Jianghu, and it is also the most frustrating.I think you must have adapted to it with your intelligence and diligence.The fourth brother said that you have become more and more calm in doing things recently, and your kung fu has improved a lot, really amazing!Next time we see you, we must have a good discussion.

Song Shu Qi

"Tie You Xia"

Seeing the words like faces, Lu Mengyun looked at the strong and elegant cursive script, and Tieshou's handsome and resolute face naturally appeared in her mind. She suddenly missed him very much in her heart, and really hoped that she could go to the market on New Year's Day, no matter how crowded the crowd , I can always see my senior brother standing behind him with a kind smile and a handsome and majestic stand when I turn around. It is a kind of sure and warm sense of security, and Lu Mengyun feels that she really likes this feeling.

Impulsive in her heart, she immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote a reply.

"Brother Iron Hand Taijian,

Hui Jian was overjoyed to receive the reading.It has been more than four months since the farewell in Cangzhou, and I am really relieved to know that my senior brother is Ankang and my little sister.

Since I returned to the capital, I have been serving as a deacon in the Ministry of Punishment.Because he was a newcomer, he started with small things such as organizing files, recording confessions, and interrogating theft.These are familiar to the brothers, but sometimes it is inevitable for me to be confused.Every time I come here, I always miss Brother Tie Shou more, you are an expert, if you are here, you will definitely guide my little sister, but it is a pity that it is far away across this mountain and river.

Passing by the old building that day, I saw Sophora japonica blooming out of the wall, it was really beautiful.But the courtyard door is locked.The younger sister has not been in the mansion for a long time, and she hopes that the senior brother will come back soon and take me for a visit.

Congratulations Xia An

Junior sister Meng Yun

In addition, the ten taels of silver owed to senior brother has not yet been repaid. If you don't return, the interest will increase after a long time, and my younger sister may not be able to pay it back.Brother, you can't watch me go bankrupt, can you?Ha ha.So, hurry back! "

Half a month later, he chased his life to Lianyunzhai, and brought Lu Mengyun's reply letter and a large bag of Beijing's famous preserved fruit cakes to Tie Shou.

Tie Shou couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "How can I eat such a big bag!"

Zhui Ming deliberately let out a long sigh, and said: "Isn't it! I told this girl that the third brother was too heavy to carry, but she refused, so she just took it and put it on me right away. Here! Here is another letter .”

Tie Shou took it apart and read it, and was moved, but couldn't help but smile when he saw the end: "Little Junior Sister still remembers the ten taels of silver you owe me. Go back and tell her that Second Brother doesn't want her to pay it back."

"I don't want to say it. If you want to say it, you can say it yourself." Zhui Ming took the opportunity to persuade: "Second senior brother, come back! Not only the junior sister, but everyone in the house is talking about you. In this world, some things can't be taken too seriously. If you are serious, you can't take it too seriously." Lose first."

Iron Hand bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhui Ming continued: "There are a lot of cases this year. Although Zhaizhu Qi temporarily took over your seat, he is a member of the Jianghu who is not familiar with the rules of the Gongmen. I think he is not doing very well... Now it's a big deal. Senior brother often has to go out of Beijing to do business, after all he has limited mobility. Sigh... If you don't come back again, I'm afraid even Uncle Shi will have to go out."

Tie Shou sighed softly, and said: "Things in this village have only just been sorted out now, and I promised to stay and not give up halfway. I will think about it after a while when everything returns to normal."

Zhui Ming saw that his mind had loosened, and felt hopeful.He also knew that this was not something that could be done just by walking, and it would take time, so he didn't say much, just held his iron hand and drank a lot, then bid farewell and went down the mountain to handle the case by himself.

But seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Tie Shou still did not return to the capital, and only asked someone to bring gifts to everyone in the mansion during the Mid-Autumn Festival.Lu Mengyun got a bunch of bodhi seed bracelets, the rare ones are small and oval with ruddy color, very delicate, she likes them very much.But in my heart, I felt that it was a pity that Brother Tie Shou didn't end up, so I secretly planned to take a long vacation after the beginning of spring and go to Lianyunzhai to try to persuade him.
