Eight days later, the weather began to turn cold, the snow had been falling for several days and nights, the cold wind gusted, the temperature had reached below zero, and the ground was covered with snow as thick as the knees of adults. At this moment, the people of the city are at home by the fire, and no one wants to run out on such a day.

And in the meeting hall, wearing a thick fur coat, Wanyan Impeachment Bowl is working in the meeting hall, the meeting hall is very warm, the stove is burning, Wanyan Impeachment Bowl looks at the map like a torch, his eyes wander in Ningchuan Prefecture, Huanglong Mansion and Bohai Sea, he is very worried in his heart, and very much looking forward to it, his eyes are shining, as if he has seen the eagle of the prey, because he realizes that this is an opportunity for the Jurchens, he is hesitating, whether to rely on himself, or waiting for Wuchun's reply.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and the cold wind blew in from outside, and when he looked back, Brother Wanyan Ying, who was wearing a brown fur coat, walked in, Brother Ying chopped his feet, and the snow fell from his shoes and clothes.

Brother Ying's fair face was blown red by the cold wind, Brother Ying closed the door, took three steps and two steps, ran to the stove, stretched out his hand that was often in his sleeve, baked the fire, and said with a smile: "Big brother, your meeting hall is very warm." ”

Impeachment nodded and said, "Second brother, you're here, you must have something important in this cold day, right?" ”

Brother Ying nodded and said, "Yes, you can see for yourself." As he spoke, Brother Ying took out a letter made of cowhide from his arms and handed it to Wan Yan.

Wanyan took the letter, looked at it, and was shocked, the letter was written by Xiao Fengxian, and Yeluyan, the prime minister of Liao, sent a letter to the Wanyan tribe.

After reading the letter, Yan fell into deep thought.

Then he frowned and said to Brother Ying: "Second brother, do you think that the Sushilie tribe can really do such a despicable thing? Betraying our plans for the revival of the Jurchens to the Liao? I think this is the Liao people stirring up a relationship between us, Wu Chun was also a hero back then, how could he do such a despicable thing? ”

Brother Ying shook his head and said: "Big brother, I think this thing is true, Wuchun's performance that day is not very right, do you think, if Xiao Wuna's old guy promised Wuchun the real Khan King, would Wuchun be moved?" And I've heard of this person, too.

This person has always been at odds with Xiao Wuna, he now needs Haidong Qingjin to dedicate to the emperor, he needs us, he wants to unite us, it is nothing more than an enemy, an enemy is a friend, this reason also makes sense.

Moreover, a friend of mine in Ningchuan Prefecture said that Xiao Wuna did come to the Jurchen a few days ago, but we had never seen him at all, and everything had proved that Wuchun had united with Xiao Wuna. ”

Wanyan impeached Libo fell into deep thought, he looked at the letter, he already believed Brother Ying's words a little, he slapped the table angrily, he has been like how to unite with Wuchun to destroy Liao these days, but now he never expected Wuchun to betray the alliance.

He stood up and said with great grief and indignation: "Although I still don't believe it, it is undeniable that the alliance has been shattered, and the hope of our Jurchen revival is gone. ”

Unexpectedly, this letter became the last straw that overwhelmed Wan Yan's impeachment.

Brother Ying looked at the painful appearance of the impeachment bowl and said: "Now we should do something about it, if not, Xiao Wuna's old thing is scheming, this is something that you and I deeply experienced fifteen years ago." ”

Impeachment Libo nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "The current Jurchen land is really these bastard tribes with their own ghosts, have they forgotten the shame that our Jurchens have suffered?" What a missed opportunity. ”

Brother Ying also clenched his fists and said, "Big brother, you say, we'll follow you." ”

Impeachment Libo patted Brother Ying on the shoulder and said, "There is still a chance to save all this, I decided to go to Nanjing to offer Hai Dongqing." You go with me, and I'll leave it to my wife to take care of Youxue and the third brother. ”

Brother Wanyan Ying said: "Okay, I just want to go to Huanglong Mansion to sell our ginseng and deer antler velvet, if we go to Nanjing and sell it again, we will definitely be able to sell it at a high price." ”

Wan Yan said: "But this is a long way to go, to cross the Bohai Sea, but also to cross the sea, it will take 3 months to arrive, we all go home and prepare well." ”

Brother Wanyan Ying nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, how is Ah Guta's body now?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the great god of nature, I have recovered well." Wan Yan said with a smile on his face

Brother Wan Yan Ying also smiled and said, "That's good, by the way, this time let's go to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo to see your eldest son and a few younger sons?" I haven't seen them in years. ”

Wan Yan shook his head and said: "No, this time we are in a hurry, the emperor of the Liao State only gave us 3 months, and my eldest son is also 20 years old, I heard that he is also a captain in the Liao army, so we don't need to worry." Speaking of this, the father's proud smile was full of eyes.

This eldest son of mine has been taken hostage since he was a child, and like himself, he was sent under the fence, but he didn't expect to be a captain, much stronger than he was back then.

Wanyan clenched his fists, he hated the Liao people too much, the kind of hatred that went deep into the bone marrow, but now he wants to please the Liao people, he is unwilling, unwilling to let his plan fail.

At the same time, in the house of the impeachment bowl, Wanyan Aguda felt dizzy, and I don't know how long it took, Wanyan Aguta, who was lying on the bed, slowly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw the familiar and fierce murals of Hai Dongqing and gentle swans on the roof, and Aguda knew that he was still in his bedroom.

Turning his head, he saw Pei Man Lily of the Valley looking at Ah Guda with a very surprised gaze, her body was a little emaciated, and her face was also a little pale, it could be seen that it should be the result of not sleeping, and her eyebrows were full of sadness,

Seeing that Ah Guda opened his eyes, Lily of the Valley said excitedly: "You are awake." ”

Ah Guda nodded, and said with some difficulty: "You're still here, we won't die together, right, where are we now?" ”

Lily of the valley forced out a smile, but the smile was full of bitterness, and said, "In your house, we are not dead." ”

Seeing the somewhat bitter smile of Lily of the Valley, Ah Guda felt a lot of taste in his heart. So he said: "Lily of the valley, I hope you are still the same as before, smiling innocently, okay?" ”

Lily of the valley smiled and nodded, but her eyes were full of dryness.

Ah Guda suddenly grabbed Lily of the Valley's weak little hand, and said affectionately: "Lily of the Valley, remember that one day I will personally kill the Huanglong Mansion, drive away these damn Liao soldiers, and avenge your father, I will never forget these hatreds." ”

Lily of the valley couldn't hold back her tears anymore, the cruelty of the war and the loss of her relatives tormented this innocent girl, so that she no longer had that bright smile on her face.

Ah Gu got up and hugged Lily of the Valley in his arms.

Lily of the valley cried even more, and her tears couldn't stop staying, yes, what a cruel thing for a girl to watch her parents leave, especially for such a beautiful and weak girl.

Lily of the valley choked up and said, "I dream of that day every night, it's so terrifying, I can't forget that day." ”

Ah Guta hugged Lily of the Valley, full of pity, and said softly: "Everything will pass, I, Ah Guta, promise, I will avenge Uncle Hong, they will not die in vain." As he said these words, he clenched his fists. At this time, he had made an oath to seek justice for those Jurchens who died tragically, and hatred filled Ah Guta's heart, but his eyes were so calm and unwavering.

Ah Guda suddenly and slowly took Lily of the Valley's hand, and said affectionately: "Lily of the Valley, you don't know how painful I was when you were captured by the Liao people, I understood at that moment and every moment after that, I swear that the woman I like is you, marry me." ”

Suddenly, Lily of the Valley broke free from Ah Guta's embrace, shook her head apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm already engaged, you are the young master of the Wanyan tribe, I don't deserve you." ”

Ah Gu was stunned, and said unwillingly: "Lily of the valley, you know how much I like you, I will give anything for you, I love you." ”

Lily of the valley shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm already engaged, Akuta, a handsome man like you will find a better girl than me." ”

Ah Gu smiled stiffly. He wanted to use his stiff smile to hide his imminent tears, but the smile was a little bleaker than crying, and he said, "Congratulations."

At this time, the screams of a middle-aged woman broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere. "What are you doing here?"

At this time, the impeachment bowl walked in, and when he saw this scene, he coughed a few times.

When Lily of the Valley heard the voice, she hurriedly broke free, her face flushed.

Ah Guda was also a little embarrassed and lowered his head.

But the richly dressed woman did not give up, and yelled at the impeachment bowl: "Is this how you bully lily the lily of the valley? Just you barbaric Jurchens still want to pursue our lily of the valley? Still using such shoddy means? Boy, let me tell you, in the future, you will stay away from our lily of the valley. ”

Ah Gu's face turned red.

The impeachment of Libo's face sank suddenly, and he said in a cold voice: "Pei Manjing, you give me some respect, this is the Wanyan tribe, if it weren't for my brother Pei Manhong who just died, leaving this girl pitiful, do you think I would let you enter my Wanyan tribe?" If you can't keep your mouth shut, I can't guarantee that you'll get out of the tiger water alive. ”

Lily of the valley immediately said: Auntie, don't say it again, Ah Guda is not what you think,

The woman named Pei Manjing said unrelentingly: "Lily of the valley, what kind of good people do you think they are?" Your father did business with the Liao people well, and it was with these people that he ended up like this, and you have to keep your distance from them in the future. ”

Lily of the valley shook her head and said: "Auntie, okay, don't say it, Uncle Libo, I'm leaving, thank you for greeting me, and Ah Guda for saving my life, I can't repay it in this life, if there is a next life, I will definitely repay you." As he spoke, he took his aunt's hand and was about to leave.

Impeachment smiled and said, "Let's go, live well with your aunt." ”

Pei Manjing sneered and said: "Don't worry, the life in our Pei Man family is full of fine clothes and food, and it must be much better than your desolate place." ”

Impeachment shook his head and said: "I warn you, Pei Manjing, if you let this child suffer a little grievance, if you let me know, my white cavalry army will definitely set foot on your Pei Manjia castle, and in the future, don't set foot on the territory of my Wanyan tribe, I'm afraid that a warrior of the Wanyan tribe will accidentally kill you for Tianxingdao." ”

The woman snorted coldly, and then walked out of the door with Pei Man Lily of the Valley, got into a gorgeous sedan chair drawn by a white horse, and drove away.

Impeachment sat down and said to Aguta, "Son, are you feeling better now?" ”

Ah Gu patted his chest and said, "Father, I'm much better, is that woman really Pei Man Lily Ran's aunt?" How can it be so unreasonable? ”

Impeachment shook his head and said, "Yes, our two families have always had grievances, but those are all grievances of the past, and these entanglements are inexplicable. ”

Ah Guda said: "Father, tell me the story of Pei Man's family, you know, if I like someone, even if I can't be together, I will try my best to pursue it, if not, it will be the regret of my life." ”

Impeachment nodded and said: "Pei Man's family made a fortune in business, and he has been doing business with the Jurchens in Liao all the year round, and he often comes into contact with those Liao nobles, so naturally with some aristocratic pride, he looks down on us barbarians, but he doesn't know that they are just lackeys of the Liao people."

But Pei Manhong was different from them, he left Pei Man's house to help our Jurchens fight against the Liao State, he was a hero, but unfortunately he died in this catastrophe. ”

Ah Guda said eagerly: "Where is Pei Man's house?" How I've never heard of it. ”

"A few miles away from Ningchuan Prefecture, there is a castle, that is Pei Man's castle, but you'd better die, Pei Man's castle is heavily guarded, how can it be so easy to get into, if something happens, I can't save you."

Akuda nodded, but didn't say anything.

But he said: "This time I want to go to Nanjing Mansion to meet the current emperor, you can recuperate at home, your sister and brother have just returned from your mother's house, and you also have a companion." ”

Ah Guda hurriedly said: "Father, take me there, I haven't seen what Nanjing City looks like." When I was a child, I heard the old man say that the Liao country is vast, and it took less than half a year to cross the Liao country, and I also heard that there is the East China Sea in Liaodong, and overseas is where the immortals live. Father, take me with you, if you can't go, then you might as well kill me? ”

Impeachment pretended to be angry and said, "You, you're still reckless at this time, okay." ”

Impeachment suddenly asked with interest: "I ask you a question, if you can answer it, I will let you go, you know that I went to Liao this time to pay tribute, Liao oppression Jurchen so much, why do we still have to pay tribute to him?" ”

Ah Guda said seriously: "Father, I hate the Liao people, they have killed too many innocent people, I have long regarded the Liao State as our biggest enemy, we want to destroy them, but with our strength, trying to defeat the Liao State is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg."

Father, you said that if you want to destroy your opponent, you must understand your opponent, and I can only defeat them if I understand the tactics of the Liao. ”

Impeachment Libo smiled and said, "Yes, you have grown up, you are no longer childish, and you have a bit of a general's style." ”

At this time, Lazy Youxue pushed the door and walked in, she was wearing a snow-white leather jacket, her body was covered with snow, she shook the snow on her body, and walked into the house.

At a glance, I saw that Ah Guta woke up, he was excited, he suddenly smiled, and stepped forward to say to Ah Guta: "Ah Guta, you are awake, great, how do you feel about your body, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. What about my sister and brothers? ”

Lazy Youxue smiled, put her hand on the shoulder of the impeachment bowl, looked at her son lovingly and said, "Your younger brothers and sisters will stay at your grandmother's house for a few more days." ”

Akuda nodded.

In this way, the family sat happily together and chatted.

At this time, he said: "Qing'er (nickname for lazy Youxue), I'll talk about something." ”

Lazy Youxue said casually: "What's the matter?" ”

He pondered for a while, and said helplessly: "I want to go to the Youdu Mansion in Nanjing, Liao State, to offer Haidongqing to the emperor of Liao State." ”

Lazy Youxue was startled, and shifted the eyes that had been looking at her son with concern to her husband, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the plan failed." ”

Impeachment said: "It's not a failure. The situation is not bad, the emperor of Liao State did not pay attention to this matter, it was Xiao Wuna, the old guy, staring at us. ”

Lazy Youxue frowned and said: "It's Xiao Wuna again, is he eyeing our Jurchen, he is a privy envoy, and he is still staring at the Jurchen, staring at the Wanyan tribe." ”

Impeachment gritted his teeth and said: "You have forgotten what Xiao Wuna ascended to the official position, and it was by the blood of our Jurchens. Don't talk about this, I'll go with Brother Wan Yan Ying these days, you will temporarily act as the patriarch, the one who has finished Yan Hai will lead the army, my third brother is a little reckless, and the whole clan will be able to lower him with you and me. ”

Lazy Youxue nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's no problem to leave it to me here." ”

Ah Guda watched his parents chatting curiously, but he couldn't interject, his body was a little weak, and his eyes couldn't be opened.

Seeing all this, Lazy Youxue said, "Impeachment, let's go to our house and say, Ah Gu's injury is just right, let the child sleep for a while." ”

Impeachment said, "Okay. ”

Lazy Youxue smiled and kissed Ah Gu's head, and said, "Child, sleep well." ”

Ah Gu smiled and didn't say anything.

Lazy and snowy and impeached the bowl to go to their own room, the room is very spacious, the big kang is covered with a blanket made of animal fur, there is a warm feeling in the gorgeous, the mural of Hai Dongqing and the swan in the house, the painting is vivid, the only deficiency is that the stove is not burning, and the house is a little cold.

He hurriedly lit the stove and picked up the firewood and put it in, which made the room warmer.

Lazy Yuxue faded off the leather jacket on her body, and inside was a dark blue embroidered robe. It's not too thick, but it sets off her iconic figure to the fullest, sitting on the bed, coupled with her picturesque face, there is a mature charm, only a trace of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tell you that she is over 40 years old.

Impeachment Libo also sat on the bed, and said with some melancholy: "Hey, my plan has failed again, and several years of lying on the bed and trying to be brave, enduring humiliation, are all in vain." ”

Lazy Youxue also smiled helplessly and said, "This is fate, what can we do?" Fortunately, there is a way out. ”

The impeachment bowl gritted his teeth, clenched his hands tightly, and said hatefully: "Xiao Wuna, Xiao Wuna, I can't forget how my father and eldest brother were killed by him, I can't forget, but now I can't avenge them, and now it's Xiao Wuna again."

In fact, you said that if my father and second brother don't die, I don't have to bear these things, we may live a carefree life in the north, and our children will not fall into war, and they will not be hostages, I don't want to be this patriarch. Impeachment said bitterly.

Lazy Youxue smiled and said, "Don't think about this, this is fate, fate guides you to complete these things, and this is also the will of the great god of nature." What can we do? ”

Impeachment nodded and said, "Yes, when will we sigh about life, it seems that we are really old." ”

Lazy Youxue nodded, and said with some worry: "Impeachment, you go, I don't know when you will come back, I heard that Nanjing is separated from here by thousands of mountains and mountains, and we have to cross the sea, we are not small, we are about to be 40 people, I am very worried about you." ”

The impeachment bowl put the lazy Youxue in his arms, and said gently: "It's okay, I will come back, I swear to the great god of nature, I will come back to see you and my children, besides, we have experienced many winds and waves over the years, and my impeachment bowl will not fall so easily." ”
