The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 65

Six years ago, Liao Kingdom.

The rising sun slantly shines on Wuwu Mountain, the dizzying peaks and rocks, the various pines and cypresses, the stone sheds and waterfalls with water silk like curtains, and the pear blossoms that are so white and snowy that they are all over the mountains. It can be described as a fairyland on earth, magnificent and magnificent.It is like a magnificent splashed ink painting scroll, giving people the enjoyment of beauty and endless reverie.

Standing on the top, you can overlook the sparkling sea in the distance, and you can see an antique, elegant and fresh courtyard in the back. The gate of the courtyard is engraved with three vigorous and dignified Chinese characters - Wanghaitang.

This Wanghai Hall was built in the early years of the Liao Dynasty. Although it was not long ago, it is famous throughout Daliao and even the the whole world.

At this moment, in front of Wanghai Hall, under a blooming pear tree, a young man in purple is practicing sword.Although his face is still a little green and his swordsmanship is a little blunt, but dancing with the falling petals still makes people fascinated.

Several brothers and sisters from the same school, some stood on the edge of the cliff and chatted, some sat on the steps of the door and watched him dance the sword. Everything in the world seemed so beautiful, so beautiful that people forgot that they were still in the world.

After the boy in purple danced, the two boys sitting at the door applauded loudly.Of these two people, one has a high nose and deep eyes, and a face like pale gold, and the other has a burly figure and a brave face.They are gorgeously dressed, and they don't look like the children of ordinary people.

The high-nosed boy praised: "Junior Brother Yuwen, your swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated. If you practice it for a few more months, I, a senior brother, will no longer be your match!"

The burly young man laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Junior Brother Yuwen, if you serve for Daliao in the future, you must be my general of Daliao; if you serve for Song, you must be my strong enemy, Xiao Talin, no matter where you are All kinds of things are very happy!"

Yuwen Yanyi slowly put away the sword, and said with a smile: "Yelusha, Xiao Talin, you are all my best friends Yuwen Yanyi, no matter which side you stand in the future, I, Yuwen Yanyi, will definitely stand with you Together!"

At this time, a girl in a long blue dress came out from the gate of Wanghai Hall.She walked slowly to Yuwen Yanyi's side, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and gently wiped the sweat off Yuwen Yanyi's forehead.

Seeing this, Yelusha and Xiao Talin booed, "Sister Ye, you are so biased! You always only know that you love Junior Brother Yuwen, and you never want to care about us. I'm afraid you have a crush on Junior Brother Yuwen!"

The girl in the green dress nodded unabashedly, then leaned her head on Yuwen Yanyi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I just fell in love with Senior Brother Yuwen, and I, Yeluting, will not marry Senior Brother Yuwen in this life. I am so jealous of you!"

Yuwen Yanyi's face was slightly red, and she didn't know where to put her hands.He looked sideways at this innocent girl with snowy skin, and felt his whole body was on fire, thousands of words were choked in his heart, but he couldn't even utter a word.

After a while, he took out a few delicate flowers from his bosom, and said a little shyly, "Sister Ye, lawyer, last time you said that the flowers in the back mountain bloom beautifully, so I picked them for you."

When Yeluting saw these flowers, his smile was prettier than flowers.Immediately happily tiptoed and kissed Yuwen Yanyi, and then said worriedly: "Brother Yuwen, there are often poisonous snakes and beasts in the back mountain, and thorns grow beside these flowers. Take the risk to pick flowers!"

Yuwen Yanyi smiled slightly, "Sister Ye, as long as it makes you happy, not to mention just picking a few flowers, even going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, I am willing to fight for you."

Yeluting nodded movedly, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, "Brother Yuwen, you are so kind to me. It is my greatest wish to be with you in this life!"

Many fellow disciples cast their eyes on the two of them at this time, some were full of jealousy, some were full of blessings, and some were full of surprise.Yeluting didn't care about everyone's opinions, and still talked to Yuwen Yanyi intimately.But Yuwen Yanyi felt uncomfortable and was about to change the subject when a young servant hurried up the cliff.

Most of the disciples in Wanghaitang come from famous families in the Liao Kingdom, and there are not dozens of servants in any mansion.These young servants are often sent by the mansion to send letters from home or send some clothes and food to the mountains.The disciples took it for granted, and no one paid much attention to it at first.When the young man came close, everyone realized that the young man was very faceless, and his expression was full of sadness and anxiety. Then everyone felt that the matter might be a little serious.

This young man ran up to Yuwen Yanyi, knelt down on the ground with a plop, blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and his voice was so choked that he almost lost his voice.After a long time, he tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Young... young master, something happened in our village. The owner, wife, and countless servant girls... were all beheaded, only me Risking your life and running out to deliver a letter for the young master, listen to my advice, never go back to Jinling City in this lifetime!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Yanyi's eyes suddenly went dark, and he felt the qi and blood in his chest surging, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out of his mouth.Thanks to Yeluding who supported him and pressed him hard, he didn't pass out.

I don't know how long it took before Yuwen Yanyi came back. His face was pale, and he asked anxiously, "Tell me, what happened in Zhuangzhong! Who killed my parents and family?"

The little servant was trembling all over, hesitant to speak, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Wang Haitang.Yuwen Yanyi was taken aback, and asked in disbelief: "Could it be that the death of my parents has something to do with my master? Could it be that he did it?"

"Young...Young Master, although it was not his murder, it is indeed related to him." The little servant took a few breaths and continued: "Young Master, do you still remember that you came here with your master six years ago?" The person who came to our village? He is not someone else, but the former leader of the martial arts alliance and the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, Murong Yanyun. It is because of his arrival that Liu Yu, the Zhizhou, was given the opportunity to curry favor with the emperor and repay his adoptive father, Fu Yanqing. !"

Others may not understand what he is talking about, but Yuwen Yanyi has already guessed eight or nine points, and said angrily: "You mean that the dog official Liu Yu identified my parents as harboring important criminals in the court for meritorious service, and killed good and risky criminals." Does it work?"

The servant quickly nodded, "What the young master said is right, it is true! Now that the master and his wife are gone, you are the only blood and blood of the Yuwen family in Jinling, and you are also the few remaining direct descendants of the former Northern Zhou royal family, so For the sake of Jinling Yuwen and the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you must not make any mistakes!"

Yuwen Yanyi held the sword in his hand, and the joints made a "clack" sound, and said in grief and indignation: "As a man, I, Yuwen Yanyi, if I dare not even avenge my parents, it is better to die if I live in this world, at least not It will lose the face of my parents and the Northern Zhou royal family!"

The little servant hurriedly stopped him and said: "No, young master! The Song Dynasty has strong soldiers, counselors like clouds, and fierce generals like rain. In today's world, apart from the Liao Kingdom, who is its opponent? Even the generation of heroes Murong Yanyun was defeated by the Song Dynasty. How can you take revenge with your own power?"

Yuwen Yanyi resolutely said: "Don't say any more, I, Yuwen Yanyi, will take revenge on me!" After he finished speaking, he looked at Yelusha and Xiao Talin, and said, "You two brothers, you are my best friends. The strength is also one of the best in the Liao Kingdom, are you willing to help me?"

He thought that based on his past friendship with the two of them, he would be able to hear their straightforward answers, but Yelusha sighed, "Oh, Junior Brother Yuwen, although you and I are brothers and sisters, I am a nobleman from the Liao Kingdom. I am afraid that helping you will cause disputes between Song and Liao, and the situation will be out of control at that time, so I will be blamed by thousands of people!"

Xiao Talin also said: "Brother Ye, lawyer, is right. Although my elder sister is a country, she can mobilize thousands of troops with one order, but I can't make the two countries go to war rashly for the sake of our friendship." .Once the Liao Kingdom is defeated, our Xiao family will become the sinners of Daliao forever!"

Yuwen Yanyi's face became very ugly, she looked down at Yeluting, and said softly: "Sister Ye, lawyer, I believe you will help me, right?"

"This..." The expression on Yeluting's face slowly froze, replaced by entanglement and helplessness.Her father is the younger brother of Ye Luxian, the current leader of the Liao Kingdom, and the two brothers have a very good relationship. If he really asked the Liao Lord to send troops, maybe Ye Luxian would really agree to his request.

But if the Liao Kingdom is defeated, such a result is definitely not something that Yeluting can bear, nor can his father Yeluxiang, and even the king Yeluxian may not be able to bear it.No matter how passionate love is in front of family prestige, in front of national interests, and in front of the life and death of the people of the country, it will appear small and worthless.

Yeluting didn't know what to say, as if whatever she said was wrong, no matter what she said, the result was not what she wanted to see.She could only stare at Yuwen Yanyi affectionately, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this situation, Yuwen Yanyi smiled wryly.He is willing to give everything for his friends, but his friends are not. He is willing to sacrifice everything for love, but his beloved girl is not.For a moment, time seemed to freeze, and his heart seemed to undergo a slight change. He no longer believed in friendship and was no longer so attached to love.

He secretly said in his heart, "I used to be too naive. Friendship and love in this world are unreliable. Now the only person I can rely on is Master." He wanted to push away the hesitant Yeluting, and walked quickly Go to Wanghai Hall.
