After singing and drinking for half the night, in the early morning of the next day, General Shi Shi Yong took a few boys and said goodbye to Xiao Tang and returned to Daming Mansion. Deng Fei and Yang Lin had no fixed residence and temporarily lived in Xiao Mansion.
Nature's Novel
Xiao Tangben had some doubts, because he and Wu Song had been sentenced by the government, but Deng Fei was still a wanted criminal. Of course, Xiao Tang would never report Deng Fei to the government, and even though he knew Deng Fei's background in Daming Mansion,
There are not many, and all the people in his village are his cronies, but he has a connection with Liang Shijie, the left-behind prime minister of Daming Mansion. Once the news leaks out, Deng Fei, the death row prisoner who even injured several people, may still be killed, not to mention that he can save him.
He was so implicated that Xiao Tang was implicated.
But just when Xiao Tang had this doubt, a few days later Deng Fei said goodbye to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother, I was arrested by the government and I am not pardoned. I have lived here for a long time and the news leaked out, and it is my brothers who are affected."
You and the Xiao family are in a situation like mine. The only option is to seize the land, build a mountain and build a cabinet, and become the master of the Green Forest Village. Then I can invite my brothers to my place to play."
Xiao Tang felt warm in his heart. Deng Feiyuan had been thinking about him. Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He said, "Brother Deng, where are you going?"
Deng Fei said: "Going to the north of Liao, the territory is secluded. Dragons and snakes are mixed in the Ji area. There are many strong people. The government can't go to Daliao to capture documents. It's just suitable for me to make a breakthrough in the world."
Xiao Tang understood clearly, and while he and Deng Fei continued to drink and chat, he ordered the banker to prepare a good horse and a pack horse. There were soft clothes, dry food and a hundred taels of silver in the package hanging on the pack horse.
Deng Fei was not pretentious and said with a smile: "Since my brother gave it to me, I will accept it. I will find a good place to settle down and let my brother know. If anything happens in the future, just say it. Come in water or fire, brother."
No ambiguity!"
Xiao Tang and Deng Fei formed a friendship, and felt happy in their hearts. After all, the man in front of him was a warrior who had the temperament of a typical Liangshan hero in the Water Margin: straightforward, emphasizing love and righteousness, he was a heroic figure who was definitely worth making friends with.
Xiao Tang, Yang Lin, Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and others sent Deng Fei on the road. Deng Fei was so full of pride that he opened his mouth and roared a song that Xiao Tang had taught him with his broken gong voice.
stand up:
"........................
Hold your chest high and grit your teeth, life and death are easy and difficult to bow your head!
Even if you can't be a hero, you still have to be a good man!
If you look down upon all kinds of grudges and grudges, if you are not chic enough, you are not brave enough.
I'll swallow the wine and dry it out after suffering! I smile up to the sky with tears in my eyes!
Hey! The world of mortals is rolling over and over again, and the seas in the world are at peace with the situation!
But the deep love is also deep, and infatuation is always with you in the end of the world!
............."
Xiao Tang asked Yang Lin again: "I wonder what Brother Yang plans to do in the future?"
Yang Lin said with a smile: "I am a wanderer in the world, and I live a chaotic life of 'I have wine today, I am drunk now, and I will scoop a ladle and pour cold water tomorrow.'
No words can help, but I still want to stay here for a while."
Jinbaozi Yang Lin has a lot of experience in the world and is quite experienced in dealing with people. Staying in Xiaojiaji will come in handy. Xiao Tang said happily: "I'm not afraid that Brother Yang will stay here for a long time, but I'm afraid that Brother Yang won't look down on me."
."......
A few days later, the cane sores on Xiao Tang's back were healed. He suddenly remembered what Father Xiao said to him before he died. He came to Father Xiao's bedroom and pressed Xiao Tang's hand.
As his father said, he twisted the jade bottle on the cabinet three times and lifted up the leather blanket on the floor. Suddenly, there was a ring buckled on the ground. Xiao Tang dug out the ring and pulled it hard. After lifting the floor, there was a passage leading to the door.
underground passage.
Xiao Tang walked down and came to a dark and gloomy space. Xiao Tang turned back and found an oil lamp. After lighting it, the light flickered, reflecting the tightly sealed iron door.
Xiao Tang was surprised to think that he had lived here for more than ten years, but he never knew that there was a cave in his home. He pushed the iron door, and after a series of creaking sounds, an empty secret room appeared in front of Xiao Tang.
Although the secret room is dark and quiet, it is very clean and free of dust. The layout inside is simple, with only a shelf with more than a dozen books scattered around. There is also a black bow, several bags of arrows, and arrow clusters placed in the corner of the secret room.
Two single knives hang crosswise on the left and right.
Xiao Tang picked up the black Wolf Jiujun bow placed in the corner. The upper side of the bow was engraved with several words using Khitan calligraphy. After Xiao Tang read it roughly, his heart was suddenly shaken.
Because the inner side of the Wolf Jiujun bow is engraved with "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun"!
Amidst the lightning and flint, Xiao Tang recalled his understanding of the world at that time: Although at first glance this was the rigorous Song Dynasty in official history, there were also historical Ming Dynasty figures such as the Liangshan heroes in Water Margin and Wu Zhi Jinlian.
existence, then in this world, will it have some connection with other Jianghu legends?
The handle of the wolf-carved bow was wrapped in layers of animal skins, and it was unknown what material it was made of. Xiao Tang pulled it casually, but the bow string was as motionless as the steel bars embedded in the bow. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to fight.
Pulling, the strong bow could be pulled into a full moon shape, while Xiao Tang's face was red from holding back, and the veins on his forehead were still pulsing.
Xiao Tang had no choice but to put down his strong bow, and then took down one of the two knives hanging on the wall. The handle of the knife was decorated in a simple and simple manner, but the top of the handle was carved with a wolf head with bared teeth and glare. Xiao Tang had just
Pulling it out of the scabbard, you suddenly feel the cold light approaching, and a sense of murder suddenly fills the entire secret room. The knife is a bit narrower than the ordinary waist knife, and it is very agile and light when dancing. It has a gray-grey blade and a cold blade.
It's cold, and the edge of the sharp edge is still stained with a little bit of bright red. I don't know how many people's blood it has drunk.
Xiao Tang walked to the bookshelf again, and saw in the middle row of bookshelf books such as "Taizu Long Fist", "Devil Subduing Palm", "Xin Yi Qi Hunyuan Gong", "Cloud Pai Shuang Palm", "Xiao Yao You",
"Dragon Claw Hand", "Dragon Catching Technique"... and other martial arts secret books that countless people in the world are flocking to. Xiao Tang's heart suddenly beat, and he secretly said in surprise: It turns out that it is really that person!? In another great master,
In the novel, that strange man who was hailed as astonishing to the heavens along with Wu Song?
However, there were still a few lonely books on the upper shelf. Xiao Tang took them down and saw that the covers were all written in Khitan script. Xiao Tang only had a rough knowledge of Khitan script and could only vaguely recognize "Queen Dowager Xiao of Chengtian of Daliao".
, "Yelü Xiezhen", "Brother Yelvxiu, the Great King of the Beiyuan".
Yelu Xiezhen, a famous general of the Liao Kingdom, defeated the Song army in Baimaling, Gaolianghe, Weizhou, Langya Village and other places. The first generation of the Yang family's famous generals, Yang Jiye and Yang Laolinggong, was captured by him.
, he conquered the Jurchens and captured more than 100,000 people and captured more than 200,000 horses. He conquered Goryeo several times and forced Goryeo to move its capital to Ganghwa Island. It almost destroyed the country. In order to make Goryeo and Jurchen serve as the suzerain of Daliao, they made great military exploits.
Brother Yelu Xiu cooperated with Yelu Xiezhen and killed Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi, who was personally marching in the Gaoliang River, with an arrow in the buttocks and fled in a hurry on a donkey cart. Later, he fought in Mancheng, Waqiao Pass, Qigou Pass, Yizhou, etc.
The army of the Song Dynasty was defeated one after another, so that the Song Dynasty no longer dared to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun from the north. Chu Renhuo, a litterateur in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty, once praised Brother Yelvxiu and said: "Brother Yelvxiu, the history of Liao Dynasty"
The officials worshiped Yue and defeated the Song divisions. The Song people did not dare to go north. At that time, the Song people wanted to stop their children from crying. They were afraid that Qian Yue was coming. The children were silent." It is recorded in Chinese history books that because of their bravery in battle, they killed the children of the other camp.
Who dare not cry at night is not a brave and unparalleled tiger general?
These two peerless generals of the Liao Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, although from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, they were mortal enemies that gave the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty extreme headaches. They were also two insurmountable mountains. Many people in the Song Dynasty wished they could
Cut their corpses into thousands of pieces, smash their bones and scatter them into ashes.
But in fact, just like Brother Yelvxiu, although he has experienced hundreds of battles, he is by no means a militaristic and cruel butcher. On the contrary, he not only never kills innocent people indiscriminately, but when he was guarding the south, if there were any who got lost and wandered to the Liao border,
For the Han people, Brother Yelu Xiu would not only not rob and kill these people like some officers and soldiers in the Song and Liao armies, but would instead send people to escort them to the border and repatriate them to the Song Dynasty.
If we talk about Xiao Tang, Xiao Dad, Xiao Yi, Xiao An and other Khitans who were exiled from Liao to Han, their identities are not embarrassing at all. Just like Chinese overseas Chinese from all over the world, they are also
Like the Chinese-ized Xiao Tang and others, they fully accepted the local culture and life, but this did not prevent them from being proud of the nation with the same blood and their ancestors and heroes.
The same goes for the Han family who lived in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, even before Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Song Dynasty, they had already taken root and settled in the Liao Kingdom. Most of them were definitely not like the public opinion of the Song Dynasty at that time.
Like the storytelling of later generations, "Eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's master", every day eagerly hope that the Song army will come over quickly to "liberate" their compatriots. In fact, most people will only think that the Song army's attack will destroy
Their current life is that of invaders.
Later generations of time travelers like Xiao Tang have a more open mind. The distinction between Song people and Khitan people is just like the Xianbei, Goguryeo and other "foreign races" in history. They all now regard themselves as Chinese orthodox and "not my race".
, their minds must be different." In fact, many people don't even bother to look up the full text of this sentence: Although Jin has no way, it can't rebel. The country is big, the ministers are harmonious, and they are close to me, the princes will listen, and they can't 2. 'No
My race must have a different mentality. Although Chu is a big country, it is not from my race. Are they willing to call me?
That sentence from "Zuo Zhuan·Cheng Gong" was about Ji Wenzi's proposal to get close to the Jin State of the same ethnic group and alienate the Chu State of the foreign ethnic group. However, by the time of the great Song Dynasty, the Chu people had already become Han people, and the Han people had already become Han people.
They are Chu people. Although they have fought against each other in history, they have tolerated and integrated under the influence of Chinese civilization. They were once "foreign races" and are now brothers.
This is the Chinese nation.
Xiao Tang's thoughts came back. He thought that these books related to Brother Yelv Xiu and Yelu Xiezhen needed to be translated by someone who was proficient in Khitan writing. His eyes fell on the dozen books again.
On the martial arts secret book, Xiao Tang remembered that Father Xiao once said that his father, his grandfather, served as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyuan Military Command in the Liao Dynasty.
The enemy of the courtyard, Lie Madu Si, served as a servant. The ancestor of the Xiao family followed the prince of Lanling County, and the Xiao family clan Chi Yugong went to Youzhou to obey the orders of the kings of the Nanyuan of the Liao Dynasty...
So, was Father Xiao, or his grandfather, once a member of the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry under that great hero? And Father Xiao was probably deeply hurt by seeing Xiao Tang’s "Beautiful Mastiff" character in the past.
Heart, is that why you want to keep secrets like this buried underground forever?
Among those secret manuals, there is no such thing as the most powerful and powerful secret technique of the great hero. This is reasonable. Although the great hero may pass on his lifelong skills to his subordinates, when it comes to the secret technique that he once taught in the gang, it should be the same.
It will not be shared externally.
But, has Father Xiao ever met that great hero? Are the ancestors of the Xiao family really one of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun?... Unfortunately, Father Xiao has passed away, and there is no one left.
