It was not until the fourth year of Kaiyun in the Later Jin Dynasty (AD 947) that Tang Jiuyuan, then the head of the Tang Sect, "killed Hu Lin" in the north and used a trap to ambush the Khitan Emperor Yelv Deguang, thus becoming famous and the Tang Sect became famous. His reputation became world-famous and he became famous all over the world.
The Khitans invaded Kaifeng in the first month of the fourth year of Kaiyun of the Later Jin Dynasty (AD 947) and destroyed the Later Jin Dynasty. Hundreds of miles across the Central Plains, all property and livestock were wiped out by the Khitans.
The easy destruction of the Later Jin Dynasty made the Khitans despise the Han people, thinking that the Han ruling regime had collapsed, and the rest were not worth mentioning.
There is a price to pay for underestimating the enemy, and the price was that they were surprised to find that the people of the Central Plains turned out to be much stronger than the regular army of the later Jin Dynasty Emperor Shi Chonggui, with tens of thousands in number and thousands in number. They rebelled against them, causing the Khitan Corps to suffer an unprecedented blow. critical hit.
Along the way, the Khitan emperor personally plowed grass and valleys. The Khitan people's barbarism and cruelty not only aroused the anger of the Central Plains people, but also the various forces that were still in the separatist state at the time expressed their resistance to the foreign invasion.
The brothers are jealous of each other and stay outside the wall to resist their insults. No matter how intrigues the Central Plains regime and the separatist forces in various places were at that time, when facing the invasion of foreign enemies, they could put aside their grudges and fight against the foreign enemies together.
When the country was rising and falling, the knights in the rivers and lakes were not willing to be left behind and joined the team to resist the Khitans one after another. Tang Jiuyuan, who was the head of the Tang Sect at the time, was one of them.
Since the Tang sect was good at concealed weapons and mechanisms, as well as the use of poison, Tang Jiuyuan set an ambush on the Khitan people's only way back to Liao.
The Khitan people grew up on horses and loved hunting, especially the Khitan emperor. Even during the march and battle, the Khitan emperor would take time to hunt for entertainment.
Tang Jiuyuan understood the Khitan people's love for hunting, so he led dozens of Tang disciples to set up numerous traps in the dense forest and released many prey to lure the Khitan people.
When Yelu Deguang led a small team of cavalry to chase the prey and stepped into an ambush, the trap suddenly activated and hidden weapons flew everywhere. The Tang Sect assassins hiding in the dense forest threw out hidden weapons one after another. It rained pear blossom needles and flowers all over the sky. All the disciples of the Tang Sect were covered with all their strength. The solution is to greet the Khitan people. In the end, Yelu Deguang was caught off guard and was assassinated in the forest. Later generations called this forest "Killing Hu Lin".
The Khitan people kept taboos on him and claimed that Yelu Deguang died of illness. This statement is often quoted in the history books of the Central Plains, but Tang Jiuyuan's beheading action did change the current situation at that time. After the death of Yelu Deguang, the Khitan fell into a melee for the throne and had no intention of looking southward for many years, so that the then fragmented Central Plains could avoid being taken advantage of by the Khitan.
After this incident, the Tang Sect became famous. Impressed by Tang Jiuyuan's feat of "assassinating the chieftain", all major sects in the world gave the Tang Sect a high status.
The Central Plains regime at that time also gradually began to recognize the Tang clan's achievements. During the reign of Emperor Shizong Chai Rong of Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court specially granted the deceased Tang Jiuyuan an official post and gave his widow the title of First Grade Imperial Lady.
After the death of Tang Jiuyuan, the Tang Sect developed rapidly under the governance of Mrs. Tang and her four sons Tang Bofang, Tang Zhongzhi, Tang Shujun, and Tang Jiyan. The Tang family flourished, making the Tang Sect increasingly powerful and its status in the world also rising. .
Since then, Tang Men, who used to act alone and be both good and evil, has gradually become caring about the community and loyal to the country. During the Song army's northern expedition to Khitan in the third year of Yongxi reign, the Tang Sect also sent a large number of elite disciples to follow the Song army northward, and the Tang Sect's reputation was increasing day by day.
Early the next morning, Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan got up and ate breakfast at the inn. During the conversations among the nearby diners, they remembered that today was the seventh day of July, which was the "Qixi Festival".
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in the third year of Chunhua in the Song Dynasty, on the Qixi Festival day, Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan were walking on the streets of Kaizhou City. Since it was the Qixi Festival, people were traveling in costumes. The streets were busy and the city was full of brocade clothes. People were traveling with their friends. So lively. The two of them were also infected by the lively atmosphere and followed the flow of people on the street.
The Chinese Valentine's Day not only has a long history, but also has everlasting prosperity. The Qixi Festival was first seen in the Han Dynasty. It became increasingly prosperous in the Tang Dynasty and entered its heyday in the Song Dynasty. The celebrations of the festival were also extremely rich. From the royal palace, dignitaries to ordinary people, they will buy various fashionable items. They will use yellow wax to make geese, mandarin ducks, water birds, turtles, fish, etc., paint them with gold threads, and put them in the water, which is called "water." "Float up".
Someone picked the lotus buds and cleverly made them into parallel stems. Passers-by often sigh with affection when they see it. On the nights of the sixth and seventh days of the lunar month, wealthy families decorated their courtyards with lanterns and colorful decorations and built a "Qiao Qiao Tower" where they arranged grinders, melons, fine wines, pens and inkstones, and needlework. Boys wrote poems, and girls made nirvana and burned incense. Saluting is called "begging for skill"...
The shops on both sides of Kaizhou City's Central Street were decorated with colorful silks as early as three or four days before the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan were walking on the street and looking around, they saw a temple lying in front of them on the south side of the central street of Kaizhou City. The name of this temple is: Jinxiang Temple.
The two of them walked towards Jinxiang Temple. Before entering the temple, they saw a constant flow of people in front of the temple, and there were even more pilgrims today.
The two walked into the temple and saw a tall bronze statue of Guanyin in the center of the temple. The pilgrims in the temple knelt down and prayed for blessings. The two also bought a few sticks of incense and knelt down to worship.
While the two were holding incense and kneeling in worship, two people walked in from the temple gate one after another. Judging from their appearance, they should be two young girls, obviously a pair of master and servant.
The girl in front is about twenty-eight years old, with skin as smooth as gel, red lips and white teeth. At first glance, he saw that he had applied rouge before going out, so he was obviously the owner.
I saw her wearing a blue emerald dress, a pleated skirt with mist of flowers and green grass, and a thin veil of light blue emerald water. Her shoulders were cut into a plain waist, and her skin was as blue as fat. Fold your slender waist and take small steps, showing your bright wrists in light gauze.
The young man following her was her maid, and he followed the girl in front of her step by step. After the maid bought the incense stick, she handed it to the girl in front of her. The girl knelt on the mat in front of the Guanyin statue and bowed devoutly three times, then inserted the incense stick into the incense burner in front of the table.
Yang Yunfan on the side inadvertently glanced at the girl. He was also attracted by the beautiful girl. He was stunned for a moment. If Chen Zishan hadn't nudged him with his elbow, he would have been scolded as a pervert. Yang Yunfan looked at Chen Zishan and immediately lowered his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.
The girl who knelt down devoutly caught a glimpse of Yang Yunfan's actions from the corner of her eye. Perhaps she was used to being stared at like this. The girl did not show any displeasure, but just frowned. After kneeling down to worship the gods, the girl walked out of the temple with her maid. .
As soon as they walked out of the temple, the girl's master and servant were followed by several wretched-looking thugs...
At the same time, on the central street of Kaizhou City, a young man in gorgeous clothes and a scholar's scarf ran wildly on the road without caring about his image. He was followed by several followers. The scholar was out of breath while running all the way. He took the breath and said: "Hurry... hurry up, it will be too late,"
Among the followers who were following him, one person ran up to the scholar and gasped: "Young... Young Master... you don't have to worry. I ordered those naughty boys to only verbally tease you, not to mess around."
The scholar said angrily as he ran: "Who knows if those thugs you hired are reliable? If you hurt a hair on Miss Feng'er, I won't forgive you!!!"
When the attendant heard this, he secretly thought to himself: "It was obviously you who ordered me to put on a good show of "hero saving beauty", but now that I am late, you still blame me." Although he was not angry in his heart, he stopped talking. Follow the scholar and run towards Jinxiang Temple.
Outside the Jinxiang Temple, in an alley at the fork of the long street, a few gangsters blocked the way. One of them, a gangster with a beard who was as skinny as a monkey and had a wretched appearance, stepped forward.
He touched his unshaven chin and said with a wicked smile: "Hey, where are you two ladies going? Today is the Tangram Festival, are you coming to Jinxiang Temple to seek marriage? Hahahahaha... .”
The few gangsters around him also laughed obscenely when they heard this.
The maid next to the girl frowned and looked at the few naughties in front of her, then looked at the master next to her and said worriedly: "Miss..."
Before she could finish speaking, the beautiful girl interrupted her, motioned her to go behind her with her eyes, and said, "It's okay, you can hide behind her first," and then slowly stretched her hands into her sleeves.
At this moment, Yang Yunfan and Chen Zishan, who had come out of Jinxiang Temple, passed by the alley intersection and saw the scene in front of them. They seemed to understand what happened and walked towards the alley with frowns.
The Huzha gangster who was teasing two girls in the alley saw two young men coming in front of the alley. His eyes lit up and he motioned to the gangsters around him with his eyes, as if to say: "Here we come, here we come." The gangsters also nodded. Show understanding.
The bearded rogue waited for Yang Yunfan and the two to come to him, then coughed and said at the top of his lungs: "What are you looking at? Get out of here," and then glanced at the ruffians, as if to show off his acting skills.
Yang Yunfan looked at the weird expression of this scumbag and couldn't figure it out for a moment. He frowned and said, "In broad daylight, in the clear sky, what are you going to do?"
