The storyteller was stunned, and his loud voice shocked everyone.Even Ye Luo couldn't help being amazed, just heard him say: "In the battle 20 years ago, Xuzhou fell, and the Great Song Dynasty was in danger. If it weren't for a strange person in the world, one man and one horse firmly guarded the last fortress of Xicheng, I'm afraid The entire Xuzhou will fall under the iron heel of Chu!"

No matter men, women, old or young in the alleys, when they heard the words "there are strange people in the world", they all cheered up.The young people looked forward to it, the old people wiped their tears secretly, and the ignorant children couldn't understand the stories told by the storyteller, and their mother gave a chestnut to their head, and they didn't cry, and they listened to the storyteller's story wholeheartedly.

"There was a strange person in that life. It was Ye who was relegated to immortality by Xuanmen of the Song Dynasty. He lived in Xuzhou incognito and did not seek to be heard by heaven."

"It's a pity that things didn't go as expected. Xu Xiner was greedy for the beauty of Chu Jie, the prince of Chu. For her own selfishness, she stole the tiger amulet from Xu Muzhou, opened the city gate of Xuzhou privately, and donated 12 cities of the Great Song Dynasty. The nearby counties I didn’t get the news, and I was directly crushed by the oppressive Chu army. The Chu army was cruel and perverted, and the villages and counties that occasionally resisted, regardless of men, women, or children, killed and burned them all.

"Because of Chu Jie's brutal methods, in order to protect the environment and the people, the town guards and county guards of more than a dozen townships and counties had to come out of the city to meet each other, begging Chu Jie for extrajudicial mercy, and not to kill my Song people indiscriminately."

"But that Chu Jie was an ambitious wolf, treacherous, and secretly killed 10,000+ people in Xuzhou in order to supplement the army's salary. Once the news spread to the Song court, all the officials scolded, but there was nothing they could do."

"Why is there nothing you can do?" A half-year-old boy listened intently and asked in an impatient voice.

The storyteller smiled helplessly and sighed: "Xuzhou is the border barrier of our Great Song Dynasty. Although it is only one of our Great Song states, only one-third of our Great Song's soldiers and horses are stationed in this state, and the money and food are even more important." It is uncountable, half of the money and food of my Great Song Dynasty are in Xuzhou. Xuzhou fell, and my Great Song Dynasty was assassinated, so it is said that it is a critical autumn."

Hearing this, no matter the child or the old man hated Xu Xiner so much, there was such a despicable, shameless and dirty woman in all the incidents!Almost ruined my Song Heshan!

The storyteller continued: "Under such circumstances, even if I, Song Dynasty, send food and grass to support Xuzhou with all the strength of the whole country, it will not be able to quench my thirst. Although my Song Dynasty still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, how can I send troops and generals?" It also takes time, and with so much time, not to mention Chu Jie occupying Xuzhou, even if he directly invades the capital of Song Dynasty, Haojing, it is possible."

Several old men nodded, their faces were heavy, the situation was even more critical than what the storyteller said.

As soon as the conversation changed, the storyteller changed from a heavy tone to a cheerful one. He smiled and said: "It's a pity that Chu Jie was so smart, but he never expected how profound our Song Dynasty is and how our hundreds of years of history is Can Chu’s decades of history be shaken? In this case, Ye Jixian came to Xicheng and vowed to live and die with Xicheng.”

"Chu Jie, the eldest prince of Chu State, felt that our Xicheng was just an isolated city and was vulnerable to attack, so he directly sent a hundred thousand troops to attack the city. Under the command of Ye Banxian, all our Xicheng soldiers and civilians withdrew from Xicheng, and prepared more thatch in Xicheng , at night, when the Chu army was waiting for the Chu army to bury the pot and make rice, Ye Banxian made the immortal sword light the thatch, and the entire West City was burned red by a fire. The sky-high fire rushed into the sky, burning the entire sky into black charcoal. ! One hundred thousand Chu troops were burned by this fire, and [-] to [-] were killed directly. The siege of Xicheng was relieved at once."

All the people who heard the story told by the bookman couldn't help but nodded. The fire of Ye Jixian not only hit the arrogance of the invaders, but also aroused the ambition of the soldiers and people of Xicheng to guard Xicheng wholeheartedly.

"Subject to this defeat, Chu Jie, the eldest prince of the Chu Kingdom, was furious. He hastily dispatched troops from the many cities he had occupied, and organized another [-] Chu troops to attack our western city."

"In this situation, all strategies and tactics are useless. All the soldiers and civilians in Xicheng hold the belief that they will perish with the Chu army, and their will to fight is firm. But in this situation, Ye Jixian relied on his own strength, It overturned the precarious situation. He used several flying swords to slay back and forth around the west city. The Chu army who attacked the city were beheaded with one sword. Later, as soon as the Chu army saw a flying sword, they immediately scared It's ridiculous to have to run around like a mouse!"

Hearing this, the frowns of the old people suddenly relaxed, and the seven or eight-year-old children also showed cheerful smiles.

"Under Ye Banxian's efforts, the morale of the entire Chu army was damaged, and they could no longer organize a large-scale offensive. When our reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrived, Chu Jie, the eldest prince of Chu State, was not optimistic about the prospect of the war. We had no choice but to sign the Armistice Agreement with the Song Dynasty. In the past 20 years, there has been no war in our western city!"

"Yeah, long live Immortal Ye Ban." The ignorant child had already started cheering.

Only the storyteller smiled helplessly and said: "Although our Song Dynasty won the war, the victory was actually as miserable as defeat. Almost all of Xuzhou, a large country in Nuozhou, fell into the hands of the Chu army. Even if the Armistice Agreement was signed in the end, The fallen homeland did not take back my Song Dynasty, so it seems that this victory comes so humbly."

A young man wondered, "What about Immortal Ye? With the help of his flying sword and my Great Song's army, it will not be difficult for our Great Song to take back our homeland, right?"

The storyteller shook his head and said: "If anyone is interested in this passage, you can come to me to buy my book "Red March in the West City". Some people don't have that idea, and Immortal Ye is worthy of the support of the Great Song Kingdom!"

The stories told by the storyteller are very interesting. In Ye Luo's opinion, they are even easier to understand than those professors in the main world.Ye Luo thought about the uselessness of the coins in his hand, and said to the storyteller, "How much is "Red March in the West City"? I'll buy a copy."

"One-hundred-year-old coins, although the price is expensive, but we sell the money so expensively to support Immortal Ye. Now Immortal Ye is missing. Once I find Immortal Ye, I will hand over all the money to Immortal Ye. Come up, to repay the kindness of Immortal Ye Ban for saving the people of the entire West City."

The storyteller said.

There is nothing wrong with Yeluo, and money is easier to spend than it is easy to come by.He glanced at Chunsheng. Although Chunsheng was young, he was very sensible, so he hurriedly paid for books.

It was getting late now, and Ye Luo had to go to Wan Yao Country, so he paid the shopkeeper and took the whole family into the carriage.

"Strange," watching Ye Luo and his party get into the carriage, an old man let out a sigh.

Another old man asked doubtfully: "What's so strange?"

"That person just now looks a bit like Immortal Ye? Are my eyes blurred? My eyesight is a bit weak as I get older. Everyone looks like Immortal Ye haha." He shook his head and laughed.

Another old man also felt that it was impossible, and said contemptuously: "Your eyes are so big that you are really dazzled. Ye Luoye is so handsome and handsome? It is not a fairy who is better than a fairy, how can a young man be comparable?"

He felt that it was impossible, but he seemed to be looking forward to it, hoping to see that person again in his lifetime, that gentle and charming Ye Zhixian.

Then he saw Ye Luo, helping Xu Ying into the carriage.Xu Ying's face hasn't changed for more than 20 years, and Ye Luo's face——hasn't changed either!
"It's really him!" The old man exclaimed, and before he knew it, his eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't know it at all, and he said angrily: "Boy Ye, I spent 12 coins to build the flying sword for you back then. Haven't returned it to the old man yet!"

Although Lao Li Tou was the most famous swordsmith in Xicheng back then, he is now old. At the age of more than 80 years old, he is no longer as strong as he once was, and his steps are hobbled, no different from ordinary old people who are getting older.But at this time, the old man ran like a young man, stretching his hand to his chest, which contained the IOUs he had carefully kept for 20 years, and he had been carrying them with him for so many years.

"Old Li, run slowly." Another old man called out.

By the time Old Li chased him outside the inn, Ye Luo's carriage had already disappeared at the corner of the street.Only old Litou was left standing outside the inn, thin and lonely.

Another old man chased him out and said to Old Li, "Didn't you catch up to that man just now?"

Old Li shook his head, looking at the "IOU" in his hand, which was a piece of flying money with a thousand-year-old coin. He lowered his head and thought about it. Just now when he recalled, Old Li suddenly showed a wry smile, and sighed: "When you get older, you can't remember anything." It's bad, I tore up that IOU 20 years ago, it's just..."

"Separate this day, life and death will be separated, the friendship between the two may, with his death, step into the heavy coffin."
