The dream of "Tenderness of Iron Hands" begins in Tokyo

=================================

The spring night is short, and the sun rises in the east.After washing up in the morning, Tie Shou took Lu Mengyun with him, and rode two fast horses out of Qingbo Gate and headed southwest.

Along the way, the two enjoyed the happiness of the moment like a newlywed couple in Yaner, and they both had a tacit understanding not to mention detoxification concerns, nor did they mention the marriage contract.

Lu Mengyun really hoped that this road could go on like this forever and never end, but whenever she came to a secluded place with few people, she would act like a baby, and if she was tired of her senior brother, she would ride with her, so the iron hand would naturally be happy.

On the horse's back, Lu Mengyun leaned back against Tie Shou and asked, "Senior brother, I'll call your second brother later, okay?"

"Not good." Tie Shou said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of people calling my second brother now, but you are the only one who calls me senior brother. I am glad that you call me like that! Besides, I don't seem to have any other junior sisters now, so You have to cherish this unique title, hehe..."

Lu Mengyun thought about it carefully, yes.When she first arrived in Bianjing, she called them "Senior Brother" according to their names. Later, after getting acquainted with Zhui Ming and Leng Xue, she called them the third and fourth brothers.Although Senior Brother Wuqing was the first to get started, he was very young, so it is obviously inappropriate to call him Big Brother, so he is called "Big Brother" just like everyone else.At that time, I met Tieshou the least, and it was rare to meet him and he was more polite, so I always called him "Brother Tieshou".After the two fell in love and went south together, although they got closer, they just omitted the word "iron hand", and they were still called "senior brother" as they are used to.Tie Shou never asked her to change her words, and presumably he liked her calling himself that.

"Ah... so, is it possible that we will be brothers and sisters for the rest of our lives?"

"Hmm! They are brothers and sisters for a lifetime!" Tie Shou added with a smile.

Lu Mengyun didn't expect that the honest senior brother Tie Shou would have such sentimentality, she laughed happily and fell into his arms.Suddenly, she seemed to be thinking about an important matter again, she didn't dare to look at the iron hand, and asked falteringly with a red face,

"Brother, now... we are... married like this, I... I will have a baby?" The voice became lower and lower.

Tie Shou also felt a little embarrassed when she asked her this question, and he replied softly: "Nowadays... there shouldn't be any."

"But why?" Lu Mengyun was a little curious.

"...Well... Miracle doctor Xue said that the insect poison is dormant in your body, blocking the veins... So you won't be able to conceive now..."

Lu Mengyun was surprised and said: "Ah?! What... what should I do?" She looked back at her senior brother with anxious eyes.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Tie Shou hugged her tightly and said softly, "When the poison is cured, it will recover after slowly taking care of it."

"Really..." Lu Mengyun was still a little worried.

Tie Shou deliberately joked to make her happy: "This is not very good. If I have a baby now, how can I go to see your parents? I will be beaten to death by your brother!"

Lu Mengyun laughed when she heard this, and said, "I can't beat you to death! My two elder brothers are no match for you."

The iron hand kissed her cheek lightly, and said softly: "Don't worry! There will be one after we are officially married. I am also worried that you will blame me in the future. Haha..."

The two of them stayed overnight during their dawn trip, passing through Huizhou and Ezhou, passing through Jiangling Mansion, and arriving at Yuezhou City at noon on this day.

Yuezhou, with the Yangtze River in the north, the Xiang River in the south, and Dongting Lake in its arms, is an important town on Jinghu Road.Along the way, every iron hand in the state capital of an important town will take the official certificate to the local government office to check whether there is a hand letter from Uncle Zhuge.Because their detailed itinerary has been reported to Uncle Shi before departure, although Tie Shou is still on leave, if there is an urgent matter to be dealt with near the place where they are going, they still need to cooperate with the investigation.

"Little sister, the Yueyang Tower in Yuezhou is famous all over the world because of the "Yueyang Tower" written by Prime Minister Fan of the former dynasty. Think about the supreme state of the saying "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later". If everyone is like this, how can the people suffer so much. It is a pity that there are only a handful of politicians who really worry about the country and the people today."

"Mr. Fan Wenzheng grew up studying in Suzhou when he was young, and later served as the magistrate of Suzhou. He established education in our local area, so the elders in Suzhou regard Mr. Fan as a fellow. Brother, why don't we stay in Yuezhou today and wait for you After all this, how about going to Yueyang Tower to visit and have a chat to show our respect?"

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean, so let's find an inn first."

After turning a few blocks, you can see Yueyang Tower towering majestically beside Dongting Lake.There happened to be a Chen's inn on the nearby street. As soon as Tie Lu and his wife entered, the old innkeeper immediately greeted him courteously: "Guest guest, my room here is clean and comfortable. How many rooms do you want?"

"One room." Lu Mengyun replied.

Since the day at the Yanhong Pavilion, Lu Mengyun felt that although the two of them had not formally married, but since she had committed herself to her senior brother, she would be his wife, so she didn't have to worry about staying at the inn during this trip, as they shared the same room. Whereas, love is added.

"Huh? One room?" The old shopkeeper raised his head and stared at Tieshou for another look.The road has been tossed and dusted, and the iron hand's beard is a little longer.

Seeing this, Lu Mengyun was a little displeased: "What's the matter? I'm his wife, so I can't live in one room?"

"Oh, oh, don't be annoyed, little lady!" The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted: "You two look a bit alike, I thought you were relatives such as siblings or nephews. Forgive my clumsy eyes, forgive my clumsy eyes."

Tieshou has always been generous, but he couldn't help but frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Stop talking nonsense, lead us to settle in the room." Lu Mengyun said while holding her brother's arm.

After entering the room, Lu Mengyun put down her luggage and prepared to fetch water to freshen up, but she saw Tie Shou standing aside without speaking, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Lu Mengyun asked softly.

"I'm thinking... my brother is indeed older than you, if I go to see your family in the future, will they..."

"No! I'm the one who married you, not them! I just want to be happy!" Lu Mengyun stepped forward and put her arms around Tieshou's waist, her chin resting on his chest, she raised her head and said softly.

Tie Shou hugged his junior sister tightly, and said softly, "I... I'm just afraid that I'll delay you in the future..."

"Well, I just hope that you will delay my life."

Tie Shou was delighted when he heard the words, but he deliberately asked: "Okay, tell me, who am I now?"

"It's... I... an officer!" Lu Mengyun replied loudly.

Tie Shou was overjoyed, and leaned down to kiss her cheek.Lu Mengyun deliberately pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Oh... your beard hurts me, if you don't fix it, people will think you are my uncle again, hehe..."

After washing away the wind and dust with his iron hands, he went to Yuezhou Mansion to review the official documents. The two met Shen Shimo at the Baling Restaurant below Yueyang Tower.

The street market downstairs in Yueyang is very prosperous, crowded with people and very lively.It was still too early for Lu Mengyun to arrive at the restaurant, so she wandered around.

She saw a five or six-year-old boy standing in front of the candied haws vendor on the street, pointing at the candy with his little finger while swallowing.The peddler told him that he needed two copper coins to buy food, but the child didn't seem to understand, and just kept mumbling "hmmm", without any intention of Taoqian.

Lu Mengyun approached and took a closer look, and saw that this child was not only well-dressed, but also very cute. His eyebrows and eyes were black and bright on his round face, and he exuded a heroic spirit at such a young age, but his face was a little pale .She couldn't help being fond of it, and leaned down to the child and said, "If you want to eat candied haws, you need two copper coins to buy it."

When the little boy saw Lu Mengyun talking to him, his eyes lit up and his mouth showed a smile, but he still didn't speak, just pointing at the candy.

Lu Mengyun smiled and took out four copper coins, bought two bunches of candied haws and handed them to him.

The boy seemed to be taken aback, and politely took only one.Lu Mengyun was even more happy to see that he was well-behaved, and smiled and stuffed the other string into his hand.The child no longer returned it to her, but brought the candy to Lu Mengyun's mouth.That day's true eyes made it hard to refuse, Lu Mengyun smiled and opened his mouth to eat the top one, and then he began to eat with relish.

Lu Mengyun wondered if the child would be dumb if he never spoke, and that would be a pity, so she asked, "What's your name?"

"Hen," the boy replied.Lu Mengyun thought, fortunately, she is not dumb.Hearing that his accent didn't look like a local, she continued to ask: "Where did your family go? Why are you alone?"

Ah Heng didn't seem to understand again, he just blinked and smiled at her.

At this time, a strong and strong man hurriedly ran from the other side of the street, sweating profusely and looking very anxious, he grabbed the child and said, "Oh, Xiao Wang...Little master, why did you come here, I am so anxious It's gone!" Then he took the child and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Mengyun stretched out her hand to stop him, fearing that some gangster would abduct the child.

The man was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were filled with fear, and he said in a muffled voice: "This is my young master, what does the girl want to do?"

Lu Mengyun only lowered her head and asked Aheng softly: "Do you know this uncle? Is he from your family?"

Aheng understood, and nodded repeatedly.Now Lu Mengyun was relieved, she knelt down and smiled at him, "Then you should hurry home with him, remember not to run around alone in the future, goodbye!"

Ah Heng was obviously a little bit reluctant to part with her, so he took off a small jade pendant around his waist and stuffed it into Lu Mengyun's hand. Before leaving, he even kissed her on the cheek, and then he was pulled away by the strong man at a fast pace. .

Lu Mengyun was startled, and hurriedly called out: "Hey, hey, Ah Heng, my sister doesn't want your things..." But the man dragged the child away quickly and was submerged in the crowd.

The peddler next to him was amused and said with a smile: "This boy, he is so well-dressed, he knows how to please beautiful women at a young age, he is a dude from some family. Haha..."

But Lu Mengyun thought foolishly, "If I can come back with my life, I will have a few more cute dolls with Brother Tie Shou." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush, but fortunately, others I don't know what's on her mind.

After spending half a day in the market, Lu Mengyun actually found a good piano in the music workshop. She thought, "This way, I can play the piano for my brother on the way, and he will be very happy."

It was almost dusk at this time, but the street was getting more and more lively. The owner of Lefang said that this is a local custom in Yuezhou to go to the temple fair on the [-]th of every month. Today is April [-]th, so there are many people.

Just as Lu Mengyun was about to pay, she heard the noise outside and someone shouting from far away.

"The carriage in front is startled, it's rushing over, run!"

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

Lu Mengyun didn't have time to buy the piano, so she hurried out of the band.The crowd hurriedly dodged to both sides of the street, and a large carriage came galloping from the east, and the two horses pulling the carriage were obviously frightened and galloped wildly.

What was urgent was that there was an old lady on the road with poor eyesight, unable to understand the situation, and fell to the ground after being pushed by the crowd, and the frightened horse was already galloping forward, and it was about to run over her...

Everyone exclaimed loudly.Lu Mengyun flew over and wanted to pull the old man up, but she was a little far away, maybe it was too late...

In the midst of a crisis, two figures, one black and one white, flew out of the crowd almost at the same time, rushing towards the carriage.Bai Ying flew onto the left horse's back and reined in the rein, the horse neighed long and loudly, raised its front hooves and stood upright, but the rein was firmly held by the horseman, and it could not take half a step forward.And the black shadow flew towards the horse on the right, holding the bridle tightly with one big hand, and pressing the horse's back with the other palm, the horse was pressed so hard that its front feet half-kneeled, unable to move at all.At this moment, Lu Mengyun also stood on the ground and pulled up the old man with both hands to avoid the side of the road.

"It's dangerous! It's thanks to these two heroes who came to the rescue, otherwise they would have turned their backs on their backs."

"Such a big horse has been pulled by life and death, good work!"

"The baby doesn't cry, it's all right, someone saved us."

"Scared to death, this time I finally escaped from death."

……

The onlookers praised it one after another.The passengers on the carriage also fled out of the carriage one after another.

"Senior Brother!" Lu Mengyun looked intently, and the black shadow that looked like Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi was actually Iron Hand.

"Little Junior Sister, are you alright?" Tie Shou held the horse while looking back at Junior Sister.

"It's okay." Lu Mengyun handed over the old man to the care of passers-by on the road, and walked to Tie Shou, "It's so dangerous! Brother always comes in time."

Seeing that his junior sister was safe and sound, Tie Shou turned his head to look at the man on the other horse.Lu Mengyun looked up and saw a 23 or [-]-year-old white-clothed youth stepping off his horse and walking towards them.This person is tall and tall, with a square face and big ears, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his appearance is very majestic, which makes people feel good about him.

The young man cupped his hands to Tie Lu and said: "Han Shizhong is in the Lower Yan'an Prefecture. May I ask what is the name of Xiongtai?"

"Chang'an Tie Youxia, this Miss Lu is my junior sister." Tie clasped his fists in return, and praised: "Brother Han is not chaotic in times of danger, and he has such good kung fu at such a young age, which is admirable."

"I think this girl is agile, and brother Tie is even more powerful. You are the real martial arts masters, and I admire you the most." Han Shizhong said earnestly.

While the three of them were talking, they saw an old Taoist who got out of the carriage walking straight towards them, and saw him salute with a whisk in his hand,

"Poverty Dragon and Tiger Mountain Shangqing Palace Xuanhezi, you are being polite here. Thank you two strong men for saving each other."

"The Taoist leader doesn't need to be polite, saving people is the right thing to do." Han Shizhong clasped his fists and said.

The Taoist stared at Han Shizhong's face for a while, his eyes suddenly showed doubts and surprises, and then said solemnly: "Ah! This little brother, you look very different from ordinary people. In the future, you will either be in charge of the commander-in-chief or rank in the ranks." Sangong."

Lu Mengyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she heard this, thinking that this old man is really interesting, even if she expresses her gratitude, there is no need to be so overly flattering.

Sure enough, Han Shizhong said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, Taoist chief. I'm a poor boy who just wants to serve the country by serving the army. It's too far away from fame and wealth."

The Taoist smiled and said nothing, but turned his head and looked at Tie and Lu again.

He continued: "This master is not an ordinary person now, and he has a talent to meet his face, but it's a pity that his official career will be misunderstood by his temperament... However, it is cheaper for this girl to find a good husband-in-law." !hehe……"

"You Taoist, don't talk nonsense." Lu Mengyun blushed and said angrily.

"Isn't it? Haha... I'll give you two a sentence, 'keep the clouds open and see the moonlight', please remember." After finishing speaking, he walked away humming a tune.

"Yanliu Lanemo, according to the agreement, Danqing barrier. Fortunately, there is someone who is interested, and it is worth looking for.

...Forbearance to change the false name, and sing it in a low voice..."

Tie Shou didn't speak, and looked thoughtfully at the leaving figure of the Taoist.After a while, he turned around and smiled at Han Shizhong,

"Brother Han is thinking about joining the army?"

"That's right. I'm going to Bianjing this time to take the Jinke June martial arts exam."

"Oh, so that's the case. Brother Han, Tie is just looking for a job in Bianjing. I can give you some advice on the martial arts. If you are free now, how about we go to the restaurant over there to sit down and chat for a while? "

"Ah, I can't wish for it. Brother Tie, please!"

At that moment, the three of them went to Baling Restaurant together, and asked for a secluded pavilion so that they could talk.Tie Shou and Han Shizhong can be regarded as fellow villagers in Shaanxi, so it is very speculative to have a good meal and wine.Although Han Shizhong was young, he could tell from his words that he was not a martial artist, but someone who had read some books, and he had his own unique views on current military and political affairs, which was really admirable.

"Brother Han, to tell you the truth, I'm currently working in Bianjing Shenhou's Mansion." Tie Shou said.

"Shenhou Mansion? The surname is Tie, you...are you the second master Tie Shou Tie among the four famous arresters?" Han Shizhong asked doubtfully.

"It's right here." Tie Shou laughed.

"Oh! So it's Mr. Tie! I really don't know Taishan with my eyes, I'm so disrespectful!" Han Shizhong quickly stood up and clasped his fists again to salute.

"Brother Han, you don't need to be too polite." Senior Brother Tie Shou hastily pulled him to sit down, and said, "Brother, since I'm working in Beijing and I'm familiar with the situation there, so you might as well listen to some suggestions here."

"Please advise, my lord."

"You and I are destined to be brothers, otherwise I won't talk about it, ha ha."

"Okay, Brother Tie, Duo Meng shows love, but he is disrespectful."

"Well, nowadays the government only loves calligraphy and painting art, and I am one of the best, so I put more emphasis on literature than martial arts. From the assessment of the painting academy to the recruitment, he does everything by himself, but this year's military competition selection has never How to take it to heart, it is all done by Cai Xiang, Tong Taiwei and others. The malpractice and cronyism in it are hard to describe. It is very difficult for the Han brothers to pass the fair selection and stand out if they have nowhere in the capital. "

"Ah, I didn't expect this to happen." Han Shizhong said sadly.

"Brother Han, what do you think of this? Brother Tie is a general under the account of General Zhe Keshi in Pingxia City. He has followed the Zhe family army to conquer Xixia for more than ten years. I will recommend you to serve under his account after I write a letter. , with the talents of brothers, we can surely make contributions and serve the country.”

"It's so good! Thank you, brother Tie, for your support! I can't thank you enough!" Han Shizhong wanted to bow down and salute, but he was held back by the iron hand.

"Don't be too polite. It's my brother's job to recommend good ministers for the country, and it's our destiny."

At that moment, Lu Mengyun called the waiter in the shop to bring a pen and ink, Tie Shou immediately repaired a book and stamped her private seal on it, and handed it to Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong carefully put the letter into his arms and thanked him again and again.After drinking and eating, the three said goodbye.

At this time, the night was dark, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street.

"Brother, the city gate is closed at this time, it seems that we can't go to Yueyang Tower today." Lu Mengyun couldn't help being a little disappointed.

"Hehe, whoever said that you can't go, come, come, I will take you there for brother." Tie Shou was obviously very happy today, he drank a lot of wine, and his expression was slightly tipsy at this time.He took his junior sister's hand and walked quickly towards the edge of Dongting Lake.

Yueyang Tower is above the city wall of the west gate of Yuezhou City, and the city gate is indeed closed at this moment.Tie Shou led Lu Mengyun to the side corner of the city wall, and when the patrolling soldiers above passed by, they stretched out their long arms to wrap their arms around the slender waist of the junior sister, and performed lightness kung fu to jump onto the city tower as quietly as a black eagle.

I saw a three-storey pavilion standing under the night sky, with cornices and helmet tops, glazed yellow tiles, and the momentum was quite majestic.Tie Shou turned his head and smiled at his junior sister: "Let's go up again."

He continued to fly up with Lu Mengyun in his arms, and his feet were light and did not break a brick.After three ups and downs, the two jumped onto the roof of the pavilion.

Tie Shou held his junior sister in his arms and sat gently on the ridge of the eaves. Lu Mengyun half-lyed in his arms and looked up.

Under the moonlight, the clear waves of Dongting Lake in the vast soup are rippling and boundless.The starlight in the sky and the fishing fires in the lake flickered and reflected each other. The scene was so beautiful that she was stunned for a moment.

"'The long smoke is clear, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps into gold, and the quiet shadow sinks into jade', it is really 'what is the joy'!" Lu Mengyun murmured.

"Yeah!" Tie Shou replied, "but now I'm happier than Fan Gong, isn't it great!"

"How do you say that?" Lu Mengyun was puzzled.

"There is still a beautiful woman in my arms! Little fool!" Tie Shou raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, and continued: "I always think that Xuanhe Taoist is a bit interesting. He gave us a sentence of 'keep the clouds open to see the moon' and it will work. Very much."

"Ok?"

Iron Finger pointed to the clear and bright full moon in the sky, and then tapped Lu Mengyun's nose.

"Look at me, don't I just 'keep the clouds open to see the moonlight'!" After saying that, he bowed his head and kissed the cherry lips of his junior sister...
