After walking for several more days, the people and horses are about to arrive at the main altar of the Beggar Clan.
The sun sets in the west, gradually falling into the endless vastness of the horizon, and the quiet night is coming.
Yan Zhen asked: "Manager Zhang, how far are you from the Beggar Clan?" After Yan Zhen pacified the Central Plains, Zhang Bushan was promoted to the general manager of Jinhuo Hall.
Zhang Bushan replied: "This place is Wenliulin. If you go further to Wujiugang, you will reach Beggar's Gang not far away."
Yan Zhen ordered: "The troops will spend the night here and continue their journey the next day." Zhang Bushan followed the order and went down to make arrangements.
On a quiet night, Yan Zhen drank alone in the tent.
Slowly, pour a full cup. Yan Zhen said to himself: "This kind is from the beautiful rivers and mountains!" After saying this, he raised his glass and drank it all.
After drinking, I raised my head and looked out the window. The crooked moon rose again, every time. The stars are surrounding, like a group of lovely children, listening to a magical old man telling an immortal myth.
Yan Zhen stood up and walked, looking at the moon quietly by himself.
"Why is it so miserable tonight?" After watching for a long time, he couldn't help but sigh! I don't know why, now that he has achieved his hegemony, his aloof heart has become even more dull and boring.
Zhang Bushan entered the tent and asked, "Why don't you take a rest, Master? Why don't you drink with the Master?"
Yan Zhen said: "No need, I can go out for a walk alone." Zhang Bushan withdrew.
Yan Zhen opened the door and went out, walking in the breeze and accompanying the late moon. The golden moon and red robe held up by the blue sea fluttered with the wind that night. The long hair is also flowing softly in the wind behind her. The evening breeze was gentle, carrying a sense of comfort, caressing his face, and perhaps a little warmth in his heart. In addition, an inexplicable sadness arose spontaneously on the other side of Yan Zhen's heart, with an indescribable feeling of pain. Yan Zhenyuan left, and he no longer had the heroic spirit of the day.
"It turns out that in addition to the infinite scenery on the top of the mountain, there is also endless emptiness and loneliness." Yan Zhen sighed again.
In silence, he came to a quiet town. The lights in the town were dim and warm, and there were only a few people passing by on the street. For a moment, Yan Zhen felt warm in his heart, and he recalled the small town in Pingyincheng. Thinking of the intoxication and madness of that night, the passion and greetings of the beautiful woman, the stimulation and temptation of pure Yin blood. And his parting vows.
Yan Zhen suddenly became excited. He wondered if this was that small town, and Yiren couldn't be here, right? He understood that this was just his own fantasy, but Yan Zhen was willing to believe that this fantasy was true, and he went looking for it with full expectation. After searching most of the street, his increasingly strong intuition told him that the woman was here. So Yan Zhen continued to look around and search.
Next to a teahouse, Yan Zhen stopped.
He saw the graceful figure of a woman coming into Yan Zhen's eyes through the window lattice of the teahouse. Yan Zhen was very excited. He recognized her as the charming woman that night. He walked into the shop and took a closer look at the woman sitting by the window. She was quietly drinking tea - she was indeed the woman that night. Yan Zhen was so happy that he almost shouted out, but he still suppressed his emotions, quietly paid for the tea, and exited the store.
After the woman finished using the tea, she wanted to pay the waiter some silver, but the waiter replied: "There is a young man who has already paid for the tea." The woman was confused, walked out of the store, and asked herself: "Who paid for me?" Where’s the tea money?”
"It's me." Yan Zhen replied right next to the woman.
The woman turned her gaze and recognized Yan Zhen at a glance. Surprised: "It turns out to be you!" Yan Zhen smiled and nodded gently.
At this time, no one was walking on the street anymore. The two of them looked at each other deeply for a long time. Recalling every bit of that night, the woman's face suddenly turned red. She didn't know what to say, let alone where to say it. rise. Yan Zhen also felt guilty at this time and didn't know what to say. The two of them were speechless for a moment.
"You - why are you here?" The woman lowered her head slightly and asked a question.
Yan Zhen thought for a while and said, "I wanted to meet an old friend. I passed by here and met Yi just now."
The woman complained: "Why haven't I seen you for so long? Have you ever forgotten what you said?" After saying this, the woman looked shy.
Yan Zhen heard the words and hurriedly replied: "I dare not forget it, but unfortunately I have something to worry about, so I haven't found the girl for many days." Yan Zhen said again: "Miss, please forgive me for what happened that night!"
The woman smiled and said, "You teach me how to forgive you?"
Yan Zhen laughed at himself for being stupid and was speechless for a moment.
The woman said politely: "I want to thank you for saving my life!" Then the woman turned around and left.
Yan Zhen followed closely and asked, "Where are you going, girl?"
The woman said: "My home is here, I should go back."
Yan Zhen said: "I'll see you off later." So Yan Zhen saw the woman out of the quiet town.
Outside the town is a willow forest, a willow forest that is very long. Liu Si lowered her head as charmingly as this woman. A few rays of moonlight filtered into the forest, making everything vaguely visible. There is a path across the willow forest. Yan Zhen and the woman walked slowly on the path.
The woman said to Yan Zhen: "Yuntai, I'm sorry, I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Zhijin, and my family makes a living by raising silkworms. That day I went to the city to sell cloth. I didn't want to be separated from my family. In Pingyin in danger on the streets of the city.”
Brocade caressed her black hair and said: "After that night, I was very confused and annoyed. Pingyin City is a long way away, and I was afraid of being in danger, so I couldn't go there. After the housework is done, I always come here Walking around the town of Wen Liulin, I felt that this town was very similar to the town of Pingyin City. When I came here, it was like going back to that night."
Yan Zhendao: "The two of us have a close connection and feel the same way, so we can meet again tonight."
Not long after, we passed through Wenliu Forest. There was a small river in front of me, sparkling under the moon.
Brocade Zhi slowed down and couldn't help but glance at Yan Zhen, and asked Wen Yan: "Yuntai, where are you from? Is your old friend here?"
When Yan Zhen heard Brocade's question, he sighed in his heart: "So what if I win the world? So what if I am above ten thousand people?" At this time, Yan Zhen could not tell such a pure and sincere woman with bloody facts, so he just said: “Where do I come from and where am I going?”
Zhijin heard this and laughed out loud: "You have lost your memory, you are lost!"
Yan Zhen said quickly: "No, no, my home is not far from Songshan Mountain. I'm here to see the leader of the Shilu Gang."
Zhi Jin said: "The leader of the Shi Gang is a good man, and there are many righteous people in the world who often associate with him."
Yan Zhen disagreed and asked: "How did the biggest gang in the world like Gang Leader Shi get to where it is today step by step? Will it be as difficult as climbing a mountain to become the biggest gang in the martial arts world?"
Brocade asked: "How do you feel?"
Yan Zhendao: "I feel like climbing a mountain. Climbing to the top of a mountain. Although you can see all the small mountains, you still have to withstand the wind, cold and hardships along the way. If you are a little careless, you will easily fall off the cliff. When you come to At the top of the mountain, after the wish is fulfilled, what follows is boundless loneliness.”
Zhijin smiled and said: "That's the feeling when you climb a mountain alone. If you take everyone to climb a mountain together, and everyone works together, the great difficulties and dangers will be easily solved. When you reach the top of the mountain, there will be boundless pride and happiness. Having fun with others is happiness. , how can you be lonely?" Zhijin continued: "The leader of the Stone Gang takes everyone to climb the mountain together. When we are tired, we take a rest, and then everyone continues climbing. When we reach the top of the mountain, we all have fun together. Happiness is everywhere, why only long for the top? Woolen cloth?"
What Zhi Jin said made Yan Zhen silently daze. After Zhi Jin finished speaking, he casually asked: "Why do you ask this question?"
Seeing that Yan Zhen was in a daze, Zhijin asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yan Zhen came back to his senses, took Zhi Jin's hand, held Zhi Jin deeply in his arms, and savored every word that Zhi Jin said.
Not far ahead, a village appeared in front of us. The lights in the village were dim.
Zhijin smiled and said: "My home is right here - Huansha Village, it's a good name!" Yan Zhen nodded.
Zhijin politely said, "Why don't you stay now? I can go home by myself." When Zhijin was about to leave, his eyes filled with emotion, he asked Yan Zhen, "Yuntai, I will be by the Wenliu Forest tomorrow, will you come?"
Yan Zhen said simply: "We will not separate from each other in the future, as long as you are willing to wait!" After saying that, he stood there quietly and watched the brocade go away. At this time, the small river around me is still flowing, and the moon shines brightly for a day.
