Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

Hong Bo went out and came to Banqiao, looked up and saw that there was a lot of snow, and there was no shadow of the old man Shutong.He was so drunk and disappointed that he had no choice but to return to the bed in the house, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. But when Niu Gao saw Yang Xiaoyong came to the treacherous minister's country, he knew that his martial arts were so strong that it would be difficult for Niutoushan's army and horses to defeat him, so he felt depressed.At this time, Gu Xiancheng came and said: "Now Yang Yansi is in the loyal minister's country, why not invite him here to persuade Yang Xiaoyong to retreat?"

Niu Gao said: "I'm afraid Yang Qilang won't come." Gu Xiancheng said: "Yang Qilang and Pan Renmei are at odds. If you invite him with a good word, he will not stop coming. It's just that Mr. Yang's guard is too tight, so it's not easy to come out. I have acquaintance with Mr. Yang, and now I'm a loyal minister. country for a walk.” Niu Gao nodded, Gu Xiancheng disguised himself as a Taoist priest and went down the mountain. After Gu Xiancheng left, the sergeant came to report, and a young scholar from Shuxiang Country came to see Niu Gao and Gao Panlong.Niu Gao hurriedly called to come up the mountain.As soon as he entered the cottage last year, Gao Panlong greeted him happily and said, "Brother Wanchun is here, I don't know how things are going?" go together.

Niu Gao was overjoyed when he saw him, Xia Wanchun brought the good history of the Song Dynasty and did not stay in Niutoushan for long, and soon went to the loyal minister country to meet Yue Fei and Yang Lao Linggong. But it is said that Gu Xiancheng has arrived in the country of loyal ministers. This country of loyal ministers is a big country. The king Yue Fei manages the government well. When Gu Xiancheng came to Zhongchen's mansion, he saw a sign hanging on the gate of the mansion, saying: "Thank you." There were two lines of sergeants guarding the door, very mighty. Gu Xiancheng came to the back and was walking, when he suddenly saw a lady waved out of the window of the pavilion in the mansion. She had black temples, willow eyebrows and almond eyes. When she saw Gu Xiancheng, she called softly: "Can this Taoist know how to practice Taoism?"

Gu Xiancheng said: "How can a Taoist not know how to practice the Tao?" The lady said: "Wait a minute, I'll ask my family to open the door and let you in." After a while, the back door opened, and a family member came out with a smile, and said to him: "Old Master, Yang Qiniang of our house invites you in." Gu Xiancheng knew that Yang Qiniang was Mrs. Yang Qilang, and was secretly delighted. lock it. This is a big garden with peach blossoms, willows and green flowers, birds singing and flowers fragrant.The family took Gu Xiancheng to an embroidery building in the courtyard, where Yang Qiniang sat upright.

Seeing Gu Xiancheng coming, Yang Qiniang hurriedly gave up her seat, and said with a smile, "How many years have you been a veteran?" Gu Xiancheng said slowly: "It has been fifty years since I was a Taoist in elementary school, and I was taught by a Taoist priest who fell down." Qiniang laughed again and said, "I only heard that Taoist priests specialize in defrauding money and bluffing." Gu Xiancheng Sifu: This lady speaks quickly, she is very powerful.He also said slowly: "Since the creation of Lao Dan, Taoism has changed without reason. There are beliefs, but there are no beliefs. However, this Taoism has cut off the world since ancient times. It is nihilistic, pessimistic and decadent. It is no wonder that the Jin Dynasty is more mysterious; Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Liu Ling, Xiang Xiu, Ruan Xian, Wang Xu, and Shan Tao are called the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest". They are proficient in metaphysics, and they hide in bamboo forests, fish in rivers and lakes, drink wildly in valleys, or relax on wild trails. , Isn’t it fun! Li Bai, the exiled fairy in the Tang Dynasty, was also half Taoist, half literate, half hidden, and half official; painted."

Yang Qiniang nodded her head frequently, at this moment, she only heard the sound of yelling in the front yard, Gu Xiancheng asked, "Why is there such a noise in the place where the lady lives?" Qiniang smiled and said, "That's my husband Yang Yansi practicing martial arts." Gu Xiancheng said: "I really want to see you." Qiniang said: "That's fine, Yang Hong! I'm calling you Seventh Master." The family called, he went away for a moment, and led Yang Qilang into the room. Yang Qilang's face is like a ruby ​​jade, his crown is full of anger, and he is wearing a red robe, very heroic.

As soon as Qilang saw Gu Xiancheng, he said, "Are you that Taoist priest? You have vicious intentions. As the saying goes, since ancient times, the monks and Taoists have seduced my fifth brother to become a monk, and you have not returned to Wutai Mountain; after that, you seduced my second and third brothers as well." You shaved your head, and now you want to hook up with my wife and become a nun?" After hearing this, Qiniang said in displeasure, "Stop talking nonsense! This old Taoist is a traitor, so don't treat him disrespectfully." Gu Xiancheng smiled and said: "General Seven, Madame Seven, let's be honest, I'm not a seasoned person, I'm Gu Xiancheng from Donglin Academy of Shuxiang Country."

Qilang said in surprise: "You are Mr. Gu. You have heard of your name for a long time. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Yang Qiniang was overjoyed when she heard that, and hurriedly called the maidservant to bring tea. Qilang said: "Mr. is here, I must tell you something." Gu Xiancheng said with a smile: "I don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, just??" He glanced at Yang Hong as he spoke. Qilang knew that Gu Xiancheng had something to say, so he sent Yang Hong out.Gu Xiancheng told the story of Qin Hui and Pan Renmei, the treacherous ministers, sending troops to the scholarly country, burning books and burying Confucianism, sending troops to Niutoushan, and Yang Xiaoyong assisting the traitorous ministers.

When Qilang heard this, he said angrily: "My descendant Yang Xiaoyong married Pan Qiaofeng, the granddaughter of Pan Thief, and I strongly opposed it, but this young man made a bitter promise that he must be loyal to the Yang family, and my father had no choice but to agree. This kind of thing is not tolerated by the family law, now it's up to me to get him!" Qiniang said: "If my husband goes, I'm afraid my father-in-law won't let you out of the house." Qilang said with a smile: "I heard from the maid this morning that he went to the poet's country last night to take a guest, and it will take five or six days to come back."

Qiniang said: "Xiaoyong went astray, you can only persuade him, don't hurt him, he is your sixth brother's descendant after all." Qilang promised, so he entrusted Qiniang to guard the mansion, took a Yang family gun, rode a black-maned horse, and Gu Xiancheng and Gu Xiancheng left the loyal minister's mansion and came to Niutoushan. Xia Wanchun came to Zhongchen Kingdom with the good history of Song Dynasty, when Gu Xiancheng was in Yang's residence.Xia Wanchun first went to Zhongchen's mansion to meet Mr. Yang, and when he saw the word "thank you", he guessed that Mr. Yang might be ill, so he called a family member to inquire, and the family told the truth. He went to the country, so he went to Mu Wang's mansion.This Prince Mu's Mansion is the palace of the loyal ministers, it is just opposite to the loyal ministers' mansion.King Yue Fei was respectful and simple, so he didn't build the palace, and called the palace of Prince Mu where he lived as the palace.When Xia Wanchun and Liang Shi arrived at the door, they saw Zhang Bao, Yue Fei's pawn, walking out. Xia Wanchun knew Zhang Bao, so he called out, "Zhang Bao, is King Yue at home?"

Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Now it's Your Majesty." Wan Chun said: "What is avoiding the top and the bottom? I mean, is King Yuewu Mu there?" Zhang Baodao: "It's in the study." Wan Chun said: "Take me to see him, I have something to look for him." Zhang Bao promised, led Wan Chun and the two through several short corridors, entered the Moon Gate, and came to a study, where Yue Fei was lying on the desk Look, when you see Xia Wanchun and two people coming in, give up your seat immediately. Wan Chun was eager to save people, and after talking for a while, he took out the history book of the Northern Song Dynasty from Liang Shi's arms, and Yue Fei was shocked when he saw it, "Where did you get it?" Wanchun asked Yue Fei to read it carefully. After reading it, Yue Fei said anxiously: "This is obviously usurping history. I, Yue Fei, was thrown into Tianbo Prison by Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty and Prime Minister Qin Hui, and died with my son Yue Yun. Is there something about Scholar Qin?!" Wan Chun and Liang Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty repeatedly explained that Yue Fei was just reading the scriptures with all his heart and devoting himself to reading them. He didn't believe in the words of Liang Shi. It was already noon at this time, Wan Chun had just left the country of loyal ministers, stepped on the slope, and saw a few strange young generals riding horses from the back of the mountain, Wan Chun suspected that they were soldiers of the treacherous ministers, he was shocked, and he didn't know what to do Is good. Xia Wanchun looked at the three people, one was a white horse with a white robe and a white face, the other was a black horse with a black robe and a black face, and the other was a red face with a red robe and a red horse. But the young general in white robe looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Could it be that the scholar is a corrupt scholar, and he went to the Mingli country to catch up for the exam?" The black running young general also pointed at Xia Wanchun and said: "It is better to practice martial arts than to practice literature. It is better to practice martial arts and go to the general country to compete in martial arts." The young general in the red robe said: "Did you go to the Palace Flower Association to recite poems and enjoy flowers?" Wan Chun saw that the three of them were upright, and they didn't look like they were from the treacherous country, so he said calmly, "I'm from the scholarly country, my name is Xia Wanchun, and I'm not rushing for an exam." The young general in white robe said: "Could it be Xia Wanchun who is called 'Little Zhuge' by people in Heaven?!" Wan Chun bowed his head and said, "Exactly." When the three heard this, they hurriedly got off their horses and said in unison: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Wan Chun supported the three men and asked, "Excuse me for their names?" It turned out that the three men were none other than the descendants of the three heroes who fought in the Republic of China the day before yesterday. The young general in red is Luo Cheng's descendant, Luo Xiong. Xia Wanchun told Xue Xiaoqin, Li Xiaoqing and Luo Xiong about the treacherous minister's country being bullied and Yang Xiaoyong sending troops to Niutoushan and being besieged.After hearing this, the three people shouted together: "How can this happen? This old Qin Hui thief is really deceiving people too much!" Xue Xiaoqin said: "I will go to help Niutoushan and fight with Yue Yu, the descendant of Yue Fei, and Yang Xiaoyong, the descendant of Yang Ye. How high and low! Wouldn’t it be good to also get acquainted with Niu Mang, the descendant of Niu Gao, Liu Ying, Guan Ling, Zhang Meng, the descendants of Liu Guanzhang, and Chen Hongbo and Luo Xiaozhi from overseas?!” Luo Xiong and Li Xiaoqing agreed, and the three Ren Lama followed Xia Wanchun to Niutoushan. Yang Xiaoyong set up at the foot of Niutoushan for a while, calling it the "Golden Spear Formation". Niu Gao and others were worried about the "Golden Spear Formation". The descendants of the three famous generals, Luo Xiong and Luo Xiong, are even more delighted. The "golden gun array" set up by Yang Xiaoyong, a treacherous minister, at the foot of Niutou Mountain was passed down by Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. There are sixty golden guns in the east, west, north, south, and left and right, and there are also sixty golden guns in the left and right. The general mastered it, and the Niutoushan army and horse Ruochong turned into a fan and gathered in groups, which was very powerful. On the coaching platform, Yang Xiaoyong holds a command flag. On the left are Yue Yu, Qin Yuniang, Zhang Li, and on the right are Huyan Xiaoqing, Yang Xiaofei, and Yang Xiaomei. They are majestic and magnificent. At this time, Yang Xiaoyong sent someone to challenge the battle letter on the top of Niutou Mountain. Xue Xiaoqin saw it, his anger rose, and he tore the battle letter to pieces, saying: "I don't believe that there is such a golden or silver spear formation that cannot be broken, look at it." I broke it!".After all, he held out a golden gun and rushed down the mountain.Luo Xiong was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he also carried a golden gun and followed. When Li Xiaoqing saw that his two brothers were all going down the mountain, he also used a pair of golden hammers to beat his horse down the mountain. Niu Gao was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he led Yang Qilang, Gu Xiancheng, Liu Guanzhang, Niu Mang and others down the mountain to the front of the formation. In the golden spear formation, Yang Xiaoyong saw the Niutoushan army and horses charging into the formation, and immediately unfurled the command flag, and saw that the whole formation was orange red, and a triangular corridor flashed out from the front of the golden spear formation.Xue Xiaoqing, Luo Xiong and Li Xiaoqing were enraged when they saw it, and rushed in with their own weapons, but the treacherous Chen Guo golden gunman did not stop them and let them rush in. After rushing for about a bag of cigarettes, Niu Gao saw that the golden gun formation was covered with red clouds and the smoke was rising, fearing that something might go wrong, he called Niu Mang, Liu Guanzhang, Guan Ling, and Zhang Meng to rush into the formation, but the formation suddenly disappeared. It turned into a circle in a flash, and the crossbow arrows were fired at once, unable to rush in. Luo Xiong was very careful, he saw that the treacherous minister country's golden gunmen did not stop him, he knew there was a fraud, he was about to summon him; but he didn't know that Yang Xiaoyong on the golden gun stage unfurled his flag, and the whole array turned sky blue again, suddenly this The formation suddenly spread out, the sound of drums shook loudly, and the rain of knives and crossbows surrounded the three of them tightly.Then Xue Xiaoqing and Luo Xiong.Li Xiaoqing hurriedly pushed the crossbow away with his weapon, only to see a handsome flag with the word "Yang" appearing. Yang Xiaoyong, Qin Yuniang, Yue Yu, and Huyan Xiaoqing came here from east, west, north, and south; Yang Xiaoyong was shocked when he saw Xue Xiaoqin, Luo Xiong, and Li Xiaoqing, and hurriedly put away his guns and bowed his head and said, "Why did you come here?" Li Xiaoqing scolded: "It's a pity that you are a descendant of the Yang family, but you help the treacherous ministers, that thief Pan framed your whole family, but now you help him, a humane son follows your father's career, but you betray your father's career, and you are still tied up ?!" When Yang Xiaoyong heard this, he couldn't help but angrily said: "I was kind to you, but you spoke rudely, first ask me if I agree with this golden gun!" As he spoke, the golden gun stabbed at Li Xiaoqing's heart; Li Xiaoqing was not afraid , swinging the double hammers, like shooting stars, the two of them killed each other. Yue Yu catches Luo Xiong, Qin Yuniang and Huyan Xiaoqing catch Xue Xiaotan, what a good kill: Heroes in black robes, young generals in red; double hammers like rain, sweeping away with golden guns.One is a black evil star who ran out under the moon, and the other is a general of the Yang family who stole the beating in the mansion.One wants to cut all injustices to save the gentleman, and the other wants to protect the treacherous emperor with loyalty and filial piety.The red robes are red and red, and the whole house is full of loyalty; the two guns are swaying, and the world is yellow and yellow.One is the victorious general of the Yanshan military account, the other is Yue Jialang who hates Tianbo;One is the grandson of the veteran general who conquered Goryeo in the east;Everyone has their own martial arts, and others should not judge them lightly; they can kill the colorful crowns and cherry blossoms, and kill the green hills to dim the setting sun. Over there Niu Gao and the others saw the three young generals being surrounded, but Niu Mang and the others couldn't charge in, so they immediately led the whole army to charge, but were shot back by the archers led by Yang Xiaofei, Yang Xiaomei and Zhang Li. Only Yang Qilang waved his gun in his left hand and held a sword in his right hand, blocking the random arrows and rushing into the battle.Qilang rushed left and right to open a bloody road, and was facing Zhang Li at this time; Qilang was furious when he saw it, shouted loudly, and stabbed Zhang Li's throat, Zhang Li yelled, and fell to the ground dead.Then Yang Xiaofei and Yang Xiaomei came to fight Qilang with swords, but they were caught by Liu Ying and Guan Ling. Qin Yuniang rushed to fight Zhang Meng when she saw it. At this time, Qilang had already rushed to Yang Xiaoyong, angrily said: "Uncle is here, why don't you kneel down?!" When Xiaoyong saw that his uncle Yang Qilang was coming, he couldn't help being surprised, let go of Li Xiaoqing, threw his golden gun across, and immediately said: "Uncle is here, nephew and grandson really don't know, impolite, impolite!" Hearing this, Yang Qilang said angrily: "You betrayed my Yang family and colluded with treacherous ministers, what should you do?!" As he spoke, he swung the golden gun and stabbed at Yang Xiaoyong. Hold the gun. When Li Xiaoqing saw Qilang coming to fight Xiaoyong, he swung his hammer and took the opportunity to get behind Yang Xiaomei, and knocked Yang Xiaomei off her horse with one blow. On the city, Qin Hui saw two generals defeated in a row, and Yang Xiaoyong retreated without fighting. Then Yang Qilang pressed forward step by step, fearing that there would be changes, so he called for gold to withdraw the army. The army and horses of the Golden Spear Formation retreated into the city in disorder.Yang Xiaoyong and Huyan Xiaoqing covered the gold gunners and retreated while fighting. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the suspension bridge was raised high.When Yang Xiaoyong saw it, he shouted: "Mr. Qin, let the suspension bridge go! Let me in." That Qin Hui ordered all the archers and crossbowmen to fire their arrows at random. Xiaoyong was annoyed and hated when he saw it, so he had to pull his horse to kill a bloody road.Fleeing to the south, Huyan Xiaoqing rode his horse and chased after seeing him. Niutoushan's army and horses took advantage of the situation to attack the treacherous minister's city, which was very strong. Yue Yu and Qin Yuniang led the crossbowmen to shout and shoot arrows, but Niutoushan's army and horses could not advance.Seeing that it was getting late, Niu Gao led his army back to the village.When he came to the cottage, he invited Yang Qilang and others to a banquet, but Yang Qilang saw that Yang Xiaoyong was going away, and he didn't want to stay for a long time. Niu Gao, Niu Mang, Liu Ying, Guan Ling, Zhang Meng, Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong, Chen Hongbo, Luo Xiaozhi, Li Xiangjun, Jin Wenqing, Sai Jinhua, Xia Wanchun, Luo Xiong, Xue Xiaoqin, Li Xiaoqing and others gathered together. Besides, Marshal Yue Yu, the treacherous minister, returned to the mansion, feeling unhappy.Now that Yang Xiaoyong and Huyan Xiaoqing are gone, and Yang Xiaomei and Zhang Li are lost, how can he not be annoyed?He was alone on the balcony, drinking to soothe his sorrows.After drinking for three rounds, I didn't feel drunk, so I wrote a five-character poem on the wall with ink: At this time, a military history reported: "The scholars in the death row are making trouble in prison, and the jailers can't stop them." When Yue Yu heard about it, he hung up his waist sword and walked towards the death cell under the moonlight.When passing by the Furong Building, seeing the silver candles on the windows of the building, I couldn't help being suspicious, and suddenly remembered the strange things that happened that night, so I walked upstairs.As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he suddenly felt that the sole of his foot was tripped by something soft; Yue Yu hurriedly stepped forward to pull it, but there was only one person.I saw the man trembling.Yue Yu took a closer look, and it turned out to be Qin Yuniang's maid, Chunyan. Seeing her flustered, Yue Yu asked, "Is Yuniang in the house?" Chunyan trembled and said: "Yes, yes, Master Pan is here?" Yue Yu was furious when he heard that, thinking that his wife had an affair with him; In the inner room, the palace candles in the room had been extinguished, and it was pitch black; by the moonlight, I saw that Yu Niang was reclining on the bed, with her black temples scattered. Yue Yu hurriedly looked around, nowhere was Pan Renmei's shadow, and seeing Yuniang's abnormal color, trembling all over, so he pointed his sword at Qin Yuniang and said, "Yuniang, you have done a good job! Tell me quickly, where is that bandit Pan hiding now?" gone?" When Yuniang heard it, she made a "plop", knelt down from the bed, grabbed Yue Yu's clothes, and cried loudly: "Husband, I am your wife, how can I do stealthy things? I think some nonsense is here to provoke you and me." The relationship between husband and wife is planted on me!" Yue Yu was also puzzled when he heard it: there is clearly no outsider in this room, and there is no door behind the building, under the window is the Hibiscus Pond, if someone dives into the water, he should hear the sound of the water; if he goes to look behind the screen, there is no one there either.Yue Yu was still in doubt, and asked again: "Since there are no outsiders, why are the palace candles so bright just now, and why do you look like this tonight?" When Qin Yuniang heard it, she shed tears and said, "You are a man, and you are also the general in charge of the army. How can you understand my feelings? Since ancient times, women are like wild flowers. You are busy with the military these days, and you have never been here. Come to Furong Tower, I don't sit or lie down, I miss you very much, if you come today, don't leave." Saying that, he went to hold Yue Yu's hand.This Yue Yu was just drunk, and he was in a daze, and he was a soft-hearted person. Seeing Yuniang's pink tears, he believed it in his heart, and felt a little bit softer, so he went to bed. He suddenly raised his head, and saw a person lying on the beam, naked, with his legs hooked to the beam, trembling.Yue Yu was furious, turned over, picked up the saber and grabbed the man.When Qin Yuniang saw it, she hugged Yue Yu's right leg with her left hand and used her right hand to pick off the sword on the wall.One turned over, and died immediately. , Yue Yu took advantage of the situation to grab the man on the beam again, and swung his sword to kill him.Taking a look by the moonlight, it turned out to be Pan Renmei, Xiangguo.The ancient sages said in a poem:
