Yang Yingqi and Cao Guangbi were taken aback when they heard that the Khitan cavalry was coming from behind. Di Yu said: "How many people? ”

Liu Qidao: "There are only three horsemen, they look down on us, they rushed straight up, and one was shot down by Ouyang Gongzi, and the other two retreated." Ouyang Gongzi is going to grab the horse. ”

Di Yu said: "Nonsense! He turned his head to Cao Guangbi and said: "Here are all compatriots of the Han family, and I also ask Brother Cao to pass it on behalf of us and let us enter the country for refuge." ”

Cao Guangbi said: "I can't be the master of this matter, you wait here first." ”

When he returned from his horse, his companion, a middle-aged veteran, listened to him and said, "You are confused! How can such a thing be trusted by him? Even if these people are really Han Chinese, it is difficult to guarantee that there are not a few spies. If you just tell you to go up, the defense envoy and the capital eunuch will not agree, and they will not dare to agree! ”

Cao Guangbi said again: "I heard that there are Khitan cavalry behind me, you wait, I'll take a look." ”

Ignoring his companion's telling him to stop, the horse swept past the team of five hundred people, and when he came to the end of the team, he saw the corpse of a Liao soldier lying in wait thirty paces away, Ouyang Shi grabbed the horse and was slowly approaching. In the distance, there were two black dots, presumably the Khitan cavalry that had just fled.

Cao Guangbi said: "You are so bold, the Liao soldiers dare to kill." ”

Ouyang Shi sneered: "Look at your outfit is a soldier of the Song Dynasty, I heard that the soldiers and generals in the north are afraid of the Liao like tigers, and they can't wait to offer them as ancestors, it turns out to be true." ”

Cao Guangbi was furious when he heard this, and was about to have a seizure, when a person behind him said: "Defending the country and protecting the people is the duty of a soldier!" The Great Song Dynasty could not restore Yanyun, causing the Han people to become slaves and maids in northern Xinjiang, and now the abandoned children have returned home, just asking the Song court to give us a piece of land to avoid foreign races, and save their lives - isn't this okay? ”

Cao Guangbi's heart was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a young man with a lofty spirit, about the same age as himself, and asked at the moment, "Who are you?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "He is our leader, his name is Zhi Yanchong!" My name is Ouyang Shi. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "We can't be the master of this matter. But this is close to Xiongzhou, you can't go any further, stop first, wait for me to go back and make it clear, get permission from the capital prison, and then let you enter. ”

Ouyang Shi sneered: "Stop? The Khitan riders have all caught up, and if we stop here, and when you ask for your life to come back, I will have 500 corpses left. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "We are walking, walking not as fast as you, it may take a day or two to get to the city of Xiongzhou, you go to report, I hope to hear your good news when you get to the city." ”

Cao Guangbi was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, but you'd better restrain yourself and don't make a mess." ”

Orihiko Chong pointed to the more than 500 people in an orderly manner: "Look at them, do they look like they will cause chaos?" ”

Cao Guangbi nodded and rode away.

Suddenly, a man said, "Wait! ”

Cao Guangbi looked at it when he heard this, and saw that it was the child who was following Di Yu just now, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Did Mr. Di ask you to pass the word?" "He wanted a child to know something! Most likely, Di Yu sent him to deliver the message.

Yang Yingqi was not in a hurry, and said: "You go back to Xiongzhou alone, in case you don't come back, how do we know what your chief means?" Let's have one or two of us go back with you. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "No! To tell you the truth, I don't trust you very much! How do you know if your request is a hidden trick! In case you are spies, and I bring you into Xiongzhou, won't I open the door and rob you? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Then let's do it, let's only send one person." Then you will be in control. Okay, right? Seeing that Cao Guangbi was still hesitating, Yang Yingqi said: "Just let me, a little kid, go with you, you can rest assured!" ”

Zhe, Cao, and Ouyang were all taken aback, and Zheyan rushed: "How can that be!" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Reporting the news is just a very simple thing, and I did it as a child." Besides, I'm just a child, and even if the left-behind adults who want to come to Xiongzhou don't accept us, they won't do anything to me. ”

Zhi Yanchong and Ouyang Shi glanced at each other, they naturally knew that Yang Yingqi, the "child", was not as simple as he said, when it came to being smart and changeable, he was afraid that none of the five hundred people could match him.

Ouyang Shi said: "I see, let Ying Qi go." Although he is not yet thirteen years old, he is still a small adult. ”

Zhi Yanchong hesitated for a while, then nodded, and said to Cao Guangbi: "You won't even be afraid of a child, right?" ”

Cao Guangbi groaned, "Okay. In short, if you are really good citizens, it is better to follow the rules. ”

Orihiko said: "We just want to have something to eat, and we are very satisfied if we can live." ”

Ouyang Shi jumped off the horse and said to Yang Yingqi: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "After Brother Kaiyuan and I were sold to the Khitan, we used to be horse slaves for a few months and could ride. As he spoke, he climbed on horseback. In the past few months, he has received the guidance of Di Yu, a master of martial arts, Yang Yingqi's skills have been quite good, and ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys are not his opponents.

Cao Guangbi saw Yang Yingqi's skills on the horse and praised: "Good ability." When I'm your age, I'm afraid I can't beat you. What is your name? Is it a northerner? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "My name is Yang Yingqi, and I am from Jiangnan. ”

Cao Guangbiqi said: "Jiangnan people? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "My family was originally a scholarly family, but it was ruined by Huashigang. In order to escape the tyranny and go to sea, he encountered a storm and was blown to the coast of the Khitan, so he became a slave of the Khitans. ”

Cao Guangbi couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, he had also heard of the tyranny of Hua Shigang. In fact, the lives of ordinary people in the northern border states are also difficult.

At that moment, Cao Guangbi was in front, Yang Yingqi was following, and after the two left, Ouyang Shi walked to Zhi Yanchong's side and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "The official rank of this surnamed Cao is too low, and we can't accept him as the master." What about your side? Is it the waiting horse of the Khitan border army who is chasing, or is it ......"

Ouyang Shi said: "I can understand the Khitan dialect, when they approached and called us dog minions, most of them were not the Hou cavalry of the Khitan defenders, but the chasing soldiers who came at us - I said that those seven people were unreliable. If it weren't for the fact that some of them made a traitorous tip-off, the Khitan pursuers would never have come so quickly. ”

Zhi Yan said: "No matter what, we have now arrived at the Song-Liao border. For the sake of our hundreds of fugitive slaves, the Liao army may not make a big move. The sinicization of the Liao people has been deep, and we are not afraid of fewer people, if we want to launch a large army, most of them will have to report at all levels, it seems that we still have time. Let's set off, hoping to avoid Xiongzhou when the Khitan brigade pursues the arrival of the troops. ”

Ouyang Shi heaved and said: "What I'm afraid of is that when I get to the city of Xiongzhou, people don't want us!" ”

Zhi Yanchong's expression darkened, and he said, "Let's go and see it first." Ying Qi is a shrewd person, and with him and the surnamed Cao, things may go more smoothly. ”
