Chapter 48: Liang Hongyu

  Yang Chengye also saw the woman, who was about 15 or 16 years old, with willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, a high nose, red lips and white teeth, and a pink face with rosy cheeks, a rare beauty.

  Add a set of armor, slightly showing a heroic spirit, in this feudal era of the Song Dynasty, it can be considered alternative.

  After hearing the woman's words, the boss hastily snatched the broken sword from Yang Chengye's hand and respectfully handed it to the woman, saying: "Miss Han, this is the sword."

  When they saw the woman, the people around them also started discussing it.

  "Isn't this the young lady of the Han Manor? It's said that she loves swords as much as her life, but who knows if it's true or not."

  "Of course it's true, General Han and Madame Liang had three sons. This treasure was doted on by her parents, not only did she inherit General Han's heroic spirit but also Madame Liang's beauty, making her the dream lover of countless young heroes."

  "Moreover, Miss Han had practiced a unique swordsmanship since childhood and was among the best in her peers. She loved swords and would buy any good one no matter how much silver it cost."

  Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye also knew who this person was. Who else in the capital could be called General Han but Han Shizhong?

  Madam Liang is actually Madame Liang Hongyu, wife of Han Shizhong. The couple fought side by side and achieved great victories on the battlefield.

  What was even more difficult to come by was that when Yue Fei was wrongly accused, only Han Shizhong ran errands for him.

  If this girl is their daughter, isn't it saying she's his own wife who hasn't crossed the threshold yet?

  Thinking of this, Yang Chengye couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

  "What are you looking at? Pervert!"

  The woman was admiring the broken sword, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Yang Chengye staring at her, and suddenly cursed loudly.

  Yang Chengye withdrew his gaze and said to the boss, "Boss, I want this sword. The price is 50 taels of silver, will you sell it?"

  As for Yang Chengye's words, the boss didn't listen at all, but instead stared blankly at Miss Han.

  After hearing Yang Chengye's words, Miss Han raised an eyebrow and took a step back with some disgust, saying: "This sword is ordinary, I bought it for 100 taels of silver."

  Miss Han said and signaled the maid behind her to pay.

  Miss Hán quoted a price of one hundred taels of silver, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt dizzy and saw stars before his eyes, followed by a loud cry of surprise.

  When he saw clearly, Yang Chengye had already taken the broken sword in his hand again, while Miss Han stared at Yang Chengye with her eyes wide and mouth agape.

  "How dare you snatch things from this lady, are you tired of living?"

  Miss Han let out a tender cry, drew out the long sword from her waist, and with a stroke of "Immortal's Guidance", stabbed towards Yang Chengye.

  Seeing Miss Han take action, the onlookers scattered and avoided her, fearing they would be affected by association.

  Yang Chengye held a sword in his left hand and pointed at Miss Han's sword with his right hand, deflecting it while saying: "Miss, please restrain yourself!"

  Miss Han's long sword stabbed sideways, her pretty face slightly red, she withdrew her sword and immediately slashed at Yang Chengye's waist.

  Seeing Miss Han's look of wanting to kill herself and then be happy, Yang Chengye suddenly became angry, joined his fingers together, pointed out, and hit Miss Han's arm pit, causing her arm to go numb, and the long sword fell to the ground with a "clang".

  Yang Chengye pointed again, this time at Miss Han's knee.

  Miss Han let out a cry and her body involuntarily lunged forward, with Yang Chengye as her target.

  Yang Chengye didn't expect Miss Han to pounce on him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do, so he could only stare blankly as Miss Han threw herself into his arms, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

  The scene at this time can be described as ambiguous to the extreme, Yang Chengye fell to the ground, Miss Han was lying on top of Yang Chengye, the two were face to face, their mouths only a finger's distance apart and almost touched, they could both smell each other's breath.

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, Miss Han was overwhelmed with shame and anger, let out a loud cry, quickly climbed up from Yang Chengye's body, grabbed the long sword on the ground and chopped at Yang Chengye in a disorderly manner, while shouting: "You damned lecher, I'm going to kill you!"

  Yang Chengye dodged a carp leap, flipped over from the ground, and evaded Miss Han's sword strike. However, Miss Han was like a madman, with one sword strike faster than the other, mercilessly chopping towards Yang Chengye.

  Yang Chengye felt guilty and thought it was unbearable for a woman to be seen lying in his arms in public, so he endured and didn't make a move.

  "Stop, Bi Lian!"

  Just as Yang Chengye was about to think of a way to stop Miss Han, a sudden cry came, and then a middle-aged woman with a bun, wearing a white long dress and a red cloak, pushed through the crowd and walked in.

  Seeing the middle-aged beauty, Ms. Han suddenly had tears in her eyes and rushed into the middle-aged beauty's arms, crying.

  Yang Chengye looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman and found that she looked very similar to Miss Han, almost identical, except that she was much older than Miss Han.

  Could it be that this woman is Liang Hongyu, the wife of General Han Shizhong? Wouldn't that make her his own mother-in-law?

  Li Hongyu, Song Dynasty anti-Jin female hero, wife of Han Shizhong.

  Li Hongyu was originally from a military family, her grandfather and father were both generals, but later they were convicted of crimes and beheaded, the family declined and she became a prostitute. However, she sold her art but not her body. Later, she married Han Shizhong and became his third wife.

  Li Hongyu rendered outstanding service in suppressing the rebellion of the Miao and Fu tribes in Pingding, riding several hundred li in one night to summon Han Shizhong to come and guard against the rebels, and was therefore enfeoffed as Lady of An State and Lady of Yang State.

  She had accompanied her husband on many military campaigns, and in the Battle of the Yangtze River in Jianyan 4 (1128 CE), she personally took up a drum to beat out signals for troop movements, joining forces with Han Shizhong to command troops in battle. They held off the invading Jin army at the southern bank of the Yangtze River for forty-eight days, and from then on her name shook the heavens.

  He then led an army alone and fought alongside Han Shizhong in various places, defeating the Jin army several times.

  In the fifth year of Shaoxing, she followed her husband to garrison Chu State and fought against the Jin army and the pseudo-Qi army in Huaiyang.

  She died in August of the fifth year of the Shaoxing era and was buried together with her husband Han Shizhong at the foot of Lingyan Hill in Suzhou.

  At this time, Han Bi Lian threw herself into Liang Hong Yu's arms and cried non-stop, saying intermittently: "Mother, that scoundrel bullied me, you must stand up for me!"

  Han Bi Lian's sharp cry pierced the air, tears streaming down her face, soaking Liang Hong Yu's chest.

  Li Hongyu felt uncomfortable in her chest, pushed Han Bi Lian away a bit and said: "I've already seen what happened just now, it's clearly your fault, but you're being unreasonable, if I let your father know about this again, you'll be punished!"

  Upon hearing this, Han Bi Lian stomped her foot and pouted, shouting: "You won't help me either, I hate all of you!"

  Han Bi Lian finished speaking and then ran out crying, the maid hastily chased after her.

  Looking at Han Bi Lian's back, Liang Hong Yu shook her head and then said to Yang Cheng Ye: "This young master, it was my fault just now, please don't mind!"

  No matter what kind of person Han Bi Lian is, Liang Hong Yu as the general's wife and also a first-class imperial noblewoman would actually personally apologize to herself, instantly making Yang Cheng Ye feel deeply moved.

  Yang Chengye hastily paid his respects: "Just now was a misunderstanding, I should be the one apologizing."
