Yang Paifeng said to Zhao Liang: "After the second lady ran out of Kaifeng, she rushed all the way to Lanzhou. It is now the base camp of Yang Shuai, and the main force of the Yongbyon Army under his command is stationed here. From Lanzhou to the north, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Shunzhou, plus Lanzhou, these seven places are called "Seven Prefectures in front of the mountain", which is the most important part of the sixteen states of Youyun, which can be described as the Central Plains barrier. Therefore, the two armies of Song and Liao repeatedly fought for this for more than 20 years, and the battlefield was thousands of miles away. Since the beginning of autumn this year, Xiao Tzulin, the king of the southern courtyard of Liaoguo, known as the wolf lord, led 200,000 Khitan iron horsemen, and after sweeping Yunzhou and Dingzhou, he assembled on the northern border, and could go south at any time, and the situation was extremely critical. Yang Ru went to see her father in Lanzhou, and said that if the Great Song Dynasty could not repel the enemy army, she would never marry, and even moved out of Huo Quai's famous saying: The Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be at home? was pressed by this big hat, Yang Shuai was worried that forcing her to go back to marry at this time would shake the morale of the Yongbyon army, so he had to let his baby daughter Hu come in frustration. ”

Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "If you don't say that the Yang family will be full of loyalty, even a little girl knows how to defend the land and resist the enemy, which is amazing." ”

"Yes, the Yang family is indeed worthy of the word hero. But ......" Yang Paifeng shook his head helplessly: "Ideas are one thing, skills are another." Our second lady, although she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, has never been on the battlefield after all, and she doesn't know the danger of the two armies fighting. Yesterday morning, without Yang Shuai's consent, she led her troops out of the city to explore the enemy, but she didn't expect to bump into Xiao Tart-lin's son Xiao Hengyi's fast horse patrol, and the two sides fought fiercely, and Yang Ru was unfortunately captured. General Meng Liang and I, as the vanguard of the army, have been leading the scout troops deep into the enemy's territory, carrying out all kinds of reconnaissance and harassment tasks. No, Apple's luck is the best, the people she brought were the first to discover Xiao Hengyi's traces, and they killed them all the way, and finally rescued Yang Ru and you. ”

"Hey, how can you say that you saved me." Zhao Liang was dissatisfied: "That man's wife arrested me back." Besides, Yang Ru is also equivalent to being saved by me, and if she is delayed for a few minutes, she may have to marry the little wolf master. ”

"Yes, you have merit, my great hero!" Yang Paifeng smiled: "Liangzi, wait a while, you follow what I said, let's solve this matter satisfactorily." As she spoke, she leaned into Zhao Liang's ear and muttered.

After a while, Yang Paifeng and Zhao Liang walked out of the stable one after the other, and walked towards Shi Shiran, who was guarding outside. Meng Liang couldn't help but wonder when he saw it: "I said Deputy Envoy Yang, why did you let this kid go?" ”

"Hey, a misunderstanding, of course we have to let it go." Yang Paifeng said with a big grin: "It was Apple who made a mistake and tied up his own people, hahaha." ”

"Your own people?" Apple, who was standing on the side, looked puzzled.

Yang Paifeng introduced: "This brother is indeed not Xiao Hengyi, the Khitan little wolf master, on the contrary, Xiao Hengyi died at his hands. ”

Seeing that everyone was even more surprised, Yang Paifeng asked Apple: "After you rushed into that tent, did you find any corpses?" ”

Apple nodded: "When I was cleaning the battlefield, I did see a corpse in the tent, with a knife in the neck, and it had just died. ”

"That's it," Yang Paifeng said, "The one who died is the little wolf lord himself." And this Zhao Liang brother is the hero who killed the thief and saved Yang Ru at the critical moment when Xiao Hengyi tried to violate the second lady. ”

Meng Liang didn't expect that there would be twists and turns in this matter, and he hurriedly asked for details, Zhao Liang hurriedly followed Yang Paifeng's previous explanation, and lied that he was a person from Yunzhou, and since his hometown was ravaged by the Khitan, he planned to join the army to serve the country. He originally wanted to go to Suicheng to find the Ningbian Army Branch, but he didn't expect to encounter the Liao soldier camp on the road, so he sneaked in to snoop, and happened to see Xiao Hengyi wanting to do something wrong, so he immediately got into the tent and killed him.

Apple, of course, refused to be gullible, and asked: "Then why are you dressed in Liao army costume, and you are also wearing light armor only worn by high-ranking military generals?" ”

"Brother, can you use your brains?" Zhao Liang said disdainfully: "I bravely entered the Longtan Tiger's Den alone, of course, I need to disguise myself to have a chance to kill a few more enemies." ”

Apple glared at him in annoyance, and said angrily: "Phew, you have a bright spot, who is the brother?!" ”

Meng Liang asked Yang Paifeng: "How can you be sure that what he said is true?" ”

Yang Paifeng had already prepared for this: "Old Meng, guess what? This Zhao Liang turned out to be my fellow villager, and in terms of relationship, he is still my distant nephew. ”

Zhao Liang sighed secretly in his heart: Yes, this time it's good, my aunt has become an aunt.

I only heard Yang Paifeng continue: "I lost my parents since I was a child, and I relied on the support and care of my neighbors and relatives to prevent me from starving to death. Later, Yang Lao Linggong garrisoned Yunzhou, and when he saw that I was pitiful, he took me back to Kaifeng and became the fire girl of Tianbo Mansion. Just now I asked about Zhao Liang's origin, and found that his family was the benefactor who raised me back then, do you say this is a great fate? ”

Hearing her say this, Meng Liang was immediately convinced, and said with emotion: "Oh, who said it wasn't? As the saying goes, good people have good rewards. If it weren't for the kindness of a porridge and a meal, this Brother Zhao would be whining and mourning today, hahaha. Okay, since you are the life-saving benefactor of the second young lady, then you are also the benefactor of our Yongbian Army, let's go, let Lao Meng be the host, let's have a few drinks happily! ”

After that, Meng Liang hugged Zhao Liang and affectionately hugged him and walked towards the front camp. Yang Paifeng smiled helplessly, and followed closely behind, while Apple, who was the head of the scout, had a sullen expression, and was stunned in place for a moment before quickly catching up.

The deer legs on the bonfire shelf were roasted red and shiny, and oil was constantly bubbling out. Without adding any condiments, it was just a burst of original meat aroma, which made Zhao Lianggou's index finger move and drool wildly. It's no wonder that since the night of his escape, he has probably not eaten for a day and a night, and if it is in a scientific sense, it is even more exaggerated - Zhao Liang has been hungry for a thousand years! At this time, the smell of meat is tangy, and everyone is equally itchy.

Meng Liang handed the sheepskin wine bag to Zhao Liang and said, "Come, Brother Zhao, while the meat is still cooked, take a big bite of it first!" This is the stuffy donkey of the Daimyo's Mansion, and it is extremely hard. One bite is warm from the inside out. ”

Zhao Liang took the wine bag and poured it violently, and sure enough, as Meng Liang said, from his mouth to his throat, and then from his throat to his stomach, a wave of heat rose with the surging liquor, which suddenly made him sweat. At this time, it was almost winter, and the wind was blowing everywhere in the northland, and the hands and feet that were originally frozen and stiff were instantly turned around, and there was an indescribable comfort. At the same time, as soon as the wine entered his stomach, his appetite also opened, and after Zhao Liang took another big sip, he returned the wine bag to Meng Liang, and he didn't wait for the deer leg to be fully cooked, picked up the knife and cut off a large piece, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with a creaky sound.

After swallowing one piece, and then another, Zhao Liang was really hungry at this time, and he didn't care about any politeness, so he ate almost half of a deer leg one after another, and then he was satisfied with a full burp, and asked Meng Liang for wine again.

Apple was surprised and said, "My God, are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" ”

Zhao Liang muttered: "Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're sleepy, what's wrong?" ”

His bold appearance is very much in line with Meng Liang's appetite, and he smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha, what Brother Zhao said is right!" Hungry, hungry, sleepy, really, our rude soldiers are not so poor and exquisite! ”

Zhao Liang poured a few sips of spirits again, then wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, and asked with concern: "Oh yes, General Meng, is that Miss Yang Er awake?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Meng Liang was about to answer, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

Zhao Liang hurriedly turned around when he heard this, only to see a beautiful and graceful figure, standing not far behind him wearing a cloak. He looked closely, and sure enough, it was the girl he had seen in the Liao military tent before.

Yang Paifeng, Meng Liang and others hurriedly got up, bowed to Yang Ru, and invited her to sit down and dine together.

Yang Ru nodded slightly, walked closer, and sat down firmly, and the apple on the side pointed to Zhao Liang and asked, "Miss, do you recognize him?" ”

Zhao Liang knew that this little girl was still not worried about her identity, so she asked Yang Ru about it in order to confirm whether he was a fake from the Liao army. Anyway, if he sat upright, he had nothing to do with a thief, so he straightened his waist generously and stared at the second Miss Yang family opposite.

Yang Ru was stunned by Apple's question, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Liang carefully, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know." Dare to ask this brother Taizun's surname. ”

Yang Paifeng hurriedly introduced Zhao Liang's experience, especially the part where he sacrificed himself to save people, which inevitably added fuel and vinegar. Yang Ru heard that the Zhao Liang in front of him was his life-saving benefactor, and he came to the rescue at that critical juncture related to the innocence of his daughter's family, so he quickly stood up, looked at Zhao Liang deeply, and said solemnly: "Xiao Hengyi, that thief, tied me into the tent, holding a sharp blade, and wanted to do wrong, I was shocked and angry, but I couldn't struggle, and fainted in a hurry. I thought that if I was succeeded by that thief, I would only die, but even so, it would inevitably make my Yang family humiliated and humiliated, and I would be ashamed of my father's prestige, so Yang Ru's heart was extremely miserable. But fortunately, with the blessing of God, in times of danger, the righteous sacrificed their lives to save them! Your great kindness, Yang Ru will never be repaid. As she spoke, the second lady of the Yang family fell to her knees and bowed to Zhao Liang.

This sudden move suddenly startled Zhao Liang, and he had the heart to hurry forward to help, but unfortunately there was a bonfire between the two, and he almost burned himself in a hurry. Fortunately, Yang Paifeng and Apple were on the left and right, and hurriedly set up Yang Ru for him.

At this time, Meng Liang also persuaded: "Oh, Miss doesn't have to be like this. It is normal for the sons and daughters of our army to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they should take care of each other and protect each other, and there is no need to worry about it. I don't think Brother Zhao Liang will go to his heart. ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Yang is too outward," Zhao Liang nodded hurriedly: "What you do is just a gesture, so why bother?" Not to mention any great kindness. ”

Yang Ru gave another salute, and then said, "Okay, don't thank you for your kindness." In the future, if the benevolent prince is sent, I will definitely be duty-bound. ”

Yang Paifeng smiled: "Hey, how can he send you?" Speaking of which, Zhao Liang will have to rely on you to take care of him in the future. ”

"Why did Sister Pai Feng say this?" Yang Ru was puzzled.

Yang Paifeng replied: "Zhao Liang came from his hometown to join the army this time, I think this young man is not bad, and he has the heart to pull in our Ningbian army." In this way, he will be your father's subordinate, of course, I want you to take care of him. ”

"Really? That's great! Yang Ru was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Zhao Liang: "Engong dares to break into the enemy camp alone, and he must be a thief with extraordinary courage and martial arts under the watchful eye of a large number of Liao soldiers. Such a valuable talent, my father is also unwanted. Now that Engong is willing to join the Yongbyon Army, Yang Ru wants to thank you first. It's just that I don't know which battalion Eungong plans to go to? Wu Ben? Chain mail? Or is it a ride? If you want me to say, let's choose my eldest brother's cavalry battalion, that is the elite of the Yongbyon army! ”

"Hey, I said Second Miss, why are you still digging the foot of the wall?" Meng Liang shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Zhao Liang, of course you are from our scout pioneer battalion!" Today, I will make up my mind, and I will put you under the label of Little Apple, and start with the position of Scout Captain. Wait for the military achievements in the future, and then reward and promote! Brother Zhao, what do you think? ”

"I disagree!" Before Zhao Liang could speak, Apple protested: "Just his stupid look, I don't want it!" ”

Zhao Liang was scolded for being stupid for no reason, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Hey, don't say you don't want to want it, I don't want to go, master!" ”
